Rail links, Cancer claims, Free insulation

Consumer news with Winifred Robinson, including the man fined for advertising claims he could cure cancer and the homes missing out on free insulation.

A man is fined for advertising claims he could treat cancer by looking at people's blood cells on a computer screen.
