WeRe Bank, VW emissions, Free range milk

The Financial Conduct Authority has issued a consumer notice about a website called WeRe Bank, which promises to pay off people's debts using its own currency.

A website called WeRe Bank is telling people it can pay off their debts using its own currency. The Financial Conduct Authority is concerned that it could lead vulnerable people into deeper debt.

Today, Volkswagen holds a news conference announcing further details of its "fix" to cars affected by the emissions scandal. We speak to the VW owners who say they're fed up of waiting.

In 2018 a sugar tax will be introduced on some soft drinks. It's part of broader efforts to tackle the problem of obesity in children. Other countries have tried sugar taxes, and in the second part of our series, we report from Finland on why the authorities there have decided to phase out part of their levy.

And, we are used to the idea of free range eggs, but how about free range milk? A farmer has set up a membership organisation to set a standard for free range milk. We ask if other farmers will join and if consumers would like to see it in supermarkets?
