Will people, businesses and transport operators feel confident about abandoning masks and social distancing and returning to "normal life"? Desperate times; desperate measures! Hotels are struggling to hire the staff they need to cash in on the domestic holiday boom. We speak to one hotelier who has changed the way she recruits - has it worked? During the pandemic, online fitness classes were a lifeline for people who wanted to keep up with their exercise regime. For the duration, fees for some of the music used by trainers in their routines were waived, but no longer. It's claimed that the new charges are confusing and could kill the sector before it re-establishes itself after the pandemic. More employers are offering their staff help with fertility treatment, with cash and specialist support for couples who have turned to IVF. In 2013 legal aid was withdrawn from people who wanted to pursue consumer cases in the civil courts. We speak to a recently retired judge about his new book which aims to help consumers make the law work for them. Producer: Kevin Mousley Presenter: Shari Vahl
