BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Gambling Reforms, Fake Eyelashes, Storm Update

Luscious lashes are big business - from lash extensions, lash tinting, to false lashes.

Luscious lashes are big business - from lash extensions, lash tinting, to false lashes. Have you tried lash extensions? Let us know youandyours@bbc.co.uk

The government has promised to reform gambling laws. Proposals include limiting stakes, much stricter affordability checks and restrictions on advertising. There's opposition to changes from the gambling industry. It says the changes would pose a danger to the future of horse racing. But a date hasn't been given yet for when the White Paper is to be published.  Annie Ashton lost her husband Luke to gambling related suicide last year and tells Winifred why she's urging the government to publish it as soon as possible. And we hear from Carolyn Harris MP chairs the APPG for Gambling Related Harm.

Luscious lashes are big business. Popular treatments range from lash extensions, lash curling and tinting, and false lash strips. False lashes originally shot to popularity thanks to stars like Marylin Monroe and Twiggy - but have had a resurgence in recent years. We hear from Ashleigh Pearson the owner of The Lash Loft in Newcastle who now has vending machines for her lashes across the country. And journalist and makeup artist Madeleine Spencer joins to us talk about the trend.

Following the three storms to have hit the UK in the past week - we hear from a shop owner in Matlock after the high street there had been flooded, and from the Association of British Insurers in response to people claiming on their insurance for damage over the last few days.
Have you been affected by the storms? Let us know - youandyours@bbc.co.uk
