We report on the Fair Fares Now Campaign. Rail Minister Theresa Villiers responds to concerns that prices are becoming prohibitively high. The High Street chains accused of ripping off consumers by encouraging them to spend as much as £100 on high-definition cables which are no more effective than ones costing as little as £2. We report on what's been dubbed the great cable con. Serial entrepreneur Luke Johnson on how the Government is failing UK enterprise. And two of England's cities battle it out to be king of the cruise liner trade. Liverpool wants a share of the business currently cornered by Southampton which has two thirds of the UK trade. But there are accusations that this is unfair competition because Liverpool's port was built with public funding.
