We鈥檒l also be looking at safety in our homes. Experts are warning that millions of households across the UK could be living with hidden electrical hazards, as new wiring regulations come into effect.

Northern Ireland鈥檚 population is ageing fast. New figures show that within the next year, there鈥檒l be more people aged 65 and over than children - for the first time ever. So what does that shift mean for public services, and for the younger generation footing the bill?

But many customers are finding out the hard way when poor quality clothing arrives at their door.

Plus, have you ever thought about learning a new skill or picking up a trade, but didn鈥檛 know where to start? That鈥檚 exactly where Leonie found herself. We met her in East Belfast, where she鈥檚 now taking on a full house renovation - and doing almost all the work herself.
