You and Yours

Available for over a year

Peter White hears about the increasing threat of gaming-related fraud after new research reveals 20% of gamers have fallen victim of it or know someone who has. We hear from one gamer who lost money when he was scammed and Elizabeth Ziegler, Director of Fraud and Financial Crime at Lloyds Bank, who've conducted the research, explains what they found. Peter White also speaks to Andy Robertson journalist and author of Taming Gaming about how you can protect yourself and your family. As the first week of the UN Climate Summit in Glasgow draws to a close we explore how to be eco on a budget. We hear from two low-income families about what they can and can't afford to do when it comes to going green and Jen Gale author of The Sustainable(ish) Living Guide gives tips and advice on ways to save money while saving the planet. According to a recent survey around 10,000 Muslim students each year are either forgoing university entirely or being forced to pay for their own tuition fees because there is no Sharia-compliant student finance available. Peter White speaks to medical student Asha Hasan who has been campaigning for change and Omar Shaikh of the UK Islamic Financial Council about the proposed alternative system they have proposed to the Government. Producer: Catherine Earlam Presenter: Peter White
