Fuel and Heating Oil Prices, Bereavement, Cinemas

You and Yours

Available for over a year

We hear from motorists and fuel retailers, with the price of oil being the main cause of inflation rising to 3.1 per cent. That's up from 2.9 percent in the year to July. That also affects people who use heating oil to warm their homes - we find out why they're suffering financially. The 'Tell Us Once' scheme is designed to help people who've been bereaved. Unfortunately not everyone gets referred to it - or knows how to use it. A BBC investigation has highlighted how prolific some shoplifters are - with 270 people linked to over 28 thousand cases across England in six years. We hear from the police unit tasked with tackling the issue - and find out the cost to shoppers of this issue.
