A Charity Commission investigation finds ten charities spend up to 90% of their income sending out mailshots and gifts. We look at who the charities are and whether they have links with each other. We speak to the older women following in the footsteps of the younger Youtube stars like Zoella and Tanya Burr, by making money from posting online make up tutorials. We interview one of the most popular, Tricia Cusden from Look Fabulous Forever. New research by Paul Lewis of Radio 4's Moneybox shows investing in cash savings brings more returns than investing in shares. We report from a housing block in Peckham that's having to be demolished because the quality of building work is so poor. We follow the latest developments from the Select Committee hearing with the former owner of BHS, Sir Philip Green. The government proposes to sell off Land Registry to private companies. Campaigners against the idea say Land Registry is the only system we have of property registration, and to allow that data into private hands would be deeply dangerous. We discuss the pros and cons with a housing expert. And, how the rising cost of vet fees and treatments are driving up the cost of pet insurance, and what insurers are willing to offer in terms of cover.
