The world's biggest jeweller, Pandora, is switching from mined diamonds to lab-made. The firm's chief executive, Alexander Lacik, tells us what's behind the move. In what to many seems to be a vacuum at the heart of the government response to the coronavirus crisis in India, charities have stepped in to fill the gap. In the capital Delhi, members of the Shahi Bagh Wali mosque have been distributing oxygen cylinders to patients in urgent need. We hear from Pavinda Nanda of the United Sikhs a charity affiliated to the United Nations. Also in the programme, trade and investment deals worth $1.3bn have been announced between the UK and India. The 成人快手's Devina Gupta brings us the details, and we get analysis from Lord Karan Bilimoria, who is president of the Confederation of British Industry. Plus, as coronavirus lockdowns ease, we examine the changes in consumer behaviour that may be here to stay. Nick Fowler, founder of wholesale food supplier Smith and Brock, explains how he adapted the business to sell produce direct to customers. Itamar Srulovich is co-founder of London's Honey & Co restaurant, which started shipping meal kits across the UK when the business was forced to close, and tells us whether he expects the new trade to continue. And we get analysis of changes to the wider grocery sector from Daniel Laeubli of consultancy McKinsey's retail and consumer packaged goods division.
