You and Yours

Available for over a year

Why the new system which allows people without bank accounts to receive their pensions and benefits is causing problems. 'Simple Payments' has led to delays in some pensioners getting their money. There has been much debate about the safety of fracking, and drilling for shale gas, but what about the economic impact? We investigate whether shale gas production in the UK will affect our energy bills. We examine why some American clothing labels hike up prices for shoppers in Britain. Plus is climate change leading to bumpier flights? Presenter: Julian Worricker Producer: Simon Browning.
