EU outlines digital services rules overhaul

The European Union has unveiled details of sweeping new rules for technology giants

The European Union has unveiled details of sweeping new rules for technology giants. Laura Kayali is a technology reporter for Politico in Brussels, has been examining the proposed new laws, and explains the implications for companies like Facebook and Google. And we get reaction to the move from Cecilia Bonefeld-Dahl, director general of Digital Europe, which represents the technology industry in the EU. Also in the programme, as vaccines for coronavirus get approved around the world, one of the key challenges with some of them is ensuring they are kept very cold during the shipping process. The 大象传媒's Theo Leggett has been finding out where all the dry ice required is going to come from. Plus, there has been a surge in sales for sewing kits and machines, as people have spent more time at home during the pandemic. John Cole-Morgan runs a quilt shop in Tring, in southeast England, and discusses whether the trend is likely to continue when Covid-19 has been brought under control.
