Alvin Hall will be telling us why families are seeing their incomes go up faster than other groups After months of speculation the Samsung Galaxy S III is launching today and it's the official smartphone for the 2012 Games. The android phone claims to predict your next move - something you won't find in rivals HTC and Apple. With more gadgets and gizmos it's not surprising the phone has the highest pre-order record in mobile history. Your GP is the first point of contact when you are unwell. But are enough of them trained to spot the early symptoms of cancer? EU Member States finalise their plans today for how consumer and business disputes can be resolved in the future without resorting to court. It also publishes its consumer scoreboard. So which country treats their consumers best and are UK consumers getting a good deal? Plus, we explore claims that the EU plans to extend number of hours pilots can fly and why the pilots are worried about safety. And in a world of technology - emails, texts, kindles and Ipads - the humble fountain pen has made a comeback.
