Avanti train problems, financial problems for foster carers, bed bugs

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Thousands of rail passengers hoping to travel to London on the West Coast Mainline this weekend are still faced with uncertainty over exactly what services might be on offer. Avanti West Coast is yet to make a decision about extra services at the weekend or on Monday when the Queen's funeral will take place, but said it was "examining closely what opportunities there are for additional services". Thousands of foster carers have said they are considering giving it up in the next two years without further support. A survey from Fostertalk comes at a time when the sector has already been struggling to find carers to look after vulnerable children. We find out more and hear the stories of carers, concerned about the future. Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite! But what if they do? We'll be looking at your consumer rights if bugs interfere with your holiday. And fast fashion brand Shein has taken the fashion world by storm so as they prepare to open pop up stores in London, we'll be finding out more. PRESENTER: Peter White PRODUCER: Linda Walker ASSISTANT PRODUCER: Kate Holdsworth
