Severely disabled people switching to the new benefit Universal Credit will be up to £3000 a year worse off. We speak to claimants to find out why, and the effect it'll have on their lives. Department stores like Debenhams, Selfridges and John Lewis are investing heavily in their beauty halls. Why has make-up become so lucrative for the high street? As negotiations continue in Brussels, we ask the BBC's Europe Editor Katya Adler, if there are any answers to the main consumer issues that could affect us after Brexit.
