Description
Users will have to opt in to sharing their personal data across different apps, which makes it more difficult for social networks like Facebook to track their users' activity. The BBC's Jane Wakefield explains the changes, and we get reaction to the move from Austrian privacy activist Max Schrems.
Also in the programme, the world's transition towards an electric car future is fuelling a rush for lithium, a primary component of the batteries. Chile is one of the world's largest sources of the metal, but as the BBC's Jane Chambers reports from the salt flats of the Atacama Desert, there are concerns big mining companies aren't doing enough to help indigenous communities living nearby.
The electric carmaker Tesla revealed in its latest results that it earned $518m in the first three months of 2021 from selling emissions credits to less environmentally friendly carmakers. Jim Holder is editorial director of What Car?, and explains how the scheme works.
Plus, the French winemaker Bollinger has bought Ponzi Wines in Oregon in the United States. Etienne Bizot is chief executive of the Bollinger group of companies, and tells us what was behind the acquisition.
