UK junk food TV adverts face pre-9pm ban

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The UK government is to impose a pre-9pm ban on TV adverts for unhealthy foods. Barry Popkin is professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina, and discusses the impact of restrictions already in place around the world. And we get business reaction from Jon Mew, chief executive of the Internet Advertising Bureau. Also in the programme, the BBC's Elizabeth Hotson reports from the Bigfoot craft beer and music festival, which recently took place in Warwickshire, on how festivals can emerge from coronavirus lockdowns. Plus, our regular workplace commentator Stephanie Hare explores how best to deal with workplace rivalries. (Picture: A man holds up a fast food burger. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
