Reporting for BBC Newsround, I gave an update on what happened to the NHS COVID-19 app in England, as well as how other home nations chose to move with their own apps. Since this report, Apple and Google have pushed ahead with plans to integrate contact tracing right into their smartphones.



'A new report from a group of United Kingdom MPs is calling for a ban on the sale of video game loot boxes to children.'
'The MPs say big gaming companies have a duty to protect players, in particular children, from spending money on virtual items like loot boxes, as well as the potentially harmful effects of playing video games for long periods of time.'


'What is a loot box?

Loot boxes contain in-game items, a bit like a treasure chest.

The boxes often contain skins, which are either special costumes which players can put onto their character, weapons or armour.

The contents of the box are typically accessed by a player spending long periods of time playing or by paying a fee.

Usually, until a player opens the box, they don't know what is in it. This is why critics of loot boxes say it encourages gambling and spending money to keep opening the box until you get what you want.'
