We explore a tradition that began in cafes in Naples and has now spread through Europe and the US. Why 'suspended coffees' are forcing major brands to change their policies. Kate Silverton explores the business of IVF and reflects on her own experiences. We hear from one of the thousands of people currently facing redundancy and get some expert advice. Plus, Matthew Parris on why he decided to invest in gold and silver and won't be changing now.
