Case to break up Facebook dismissed

A US judge dismisses a case against Facebook – effectively a win for Facebook, it means the government's attempts to rein in the power of Big Tech faces a setback. E-cigarette brand Juul is fined $40m and told it must stop advertising to adolescents – health expert Dr Nicola Gray tells us more. And we report from Vietnam where there is a surge in Covid cases, and the emergence of a possible Delta Plus coronavirus variant. Plus, the BBC’s Clare Williamson explores the after-effects of the boom in meal-kits delivered to peoples’ homes. We discuss all this with Lien Hoang, a reporter for Nikkei Asia, and from Washington DC by Peter Morici, professor emeritus at the Smith School at the University of Maryland.
