Local authorities don't have the expertise to help children in care stay out of the hands of the human traffickers who bring them into the UK. That's the warning today from GRETA, the Council of Europe organisation that monitors human trafficking. Winifred speaks to Christine Bedoe, the director of ECPAT UK - a charity that tries to prevent child trafficking. Millions of pounds of government grants to help people bring down heating bills, is going unclaimed. The money is available through the Warm Front programme. From today, more people are eligible to claim the grant. It closes in the Spring so now is the time to apply for help. The HOMEKEY is a device which has been designed to give people with little or no experience of computers a simple way to send emails and access the web. The Olympics led to improvements in the transport system but how many of them will be permanent? Melanie Abbott looks at the Games' Transport Legacy. As a new glossy magazine for cyclists hits the shelves next week. How will it survive in a growing digital world? And we hear about some cherished telegrams our listeners have kept. Presenter: Winifred Robinson Producer: Vibeke Venema.
