How are you?

Not too bad, Ardian.

Thanks for joining us.

Tell us a little bit more about what Food Hub is.

Teenagers will be unable to opt out of the setting without a parent's permission, the social media giant said, and the announcement follows a tightening of Instagram's protections for children last year when it moved to restrict who can contact teens and what content they can see.

Eimear Walsh in the Irish Examiner reports that the weight loss company Viv, co-founded by Pat Phelan, is to be wound down after two failed purchases, the company has announced.

Yeah, and it's a direct competitor with the likes of Deliveroo and Just Eat, except you're a lot cheaper for the restaurant.

The firm, previously known as Limbo, said it was unable to compete with the marketing power of multi-billion dollar companies like Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, who produce the weight loss drugs Ozempic and Manjaro.

Headquartered in New York, Viv carried out research in Cork using AI and blood glucose to help people lose weight.

having spent three years in incubation, developing technology solution and researching markets.

We launched Viv long before the entrance into the market of drugs like Ozempic and Manjaro, and even with the entrance to the market of the world's largest pharmaceutical providers, the weight loss capabilities of Viv continue to outperform the drug-based solutions, the company said in a statement.

Okay.

And you charge a weekly fee to the restaurant and then a kind of a small fee to the consumer, 50p in Britain and potentially 50 cent here in Europe.

The FT reports that the EU has fined luxury fashion houses Gucci, Chloe and Loewe a combined €157 million for breaching the bloc's competition rules by fixing resale prices at retailers.

Yes.

How does that work?

Why aren't all the restaurants signing up with your service, given the fact that they will make, the restaurants will make far more money by using Food Hub rather than the other two?

The European Commission said the brands had restricted the ability of independent resellers they worked with to set their own retail prices for almost the entire range of products designed and sold by Gucci, Chloe and Loewe.

The fashion houses had ordered retailers not to deviate from the prescribed maximum discount rates and specific sale periods.

Gucci, Chloe and Loewe strive to have their retailers apply the same prices and sales conditions that they applied in their own direct sale channel, the commission said, adding that the practice occurred in stores and online.
