Changes to Universal Credit mean some working people will have to work more hours to keep their payments. We hear from those affected.

The Government's announced changes to Universal Credit which mean part-time workers will have it reduced if they fail to take "active steps" to work more.

Clean Air Zones are being introduced in some cities across the UK with the aim of reducing pollution and improving the health of residents. From today Bradford becomes the latest, where one in five children have breathing problems. Some taxi drivers in the city say it'll cost too much to upgrade their cars to ones that will comply with new emissions standards. We hear both sides of the story.
