The Price of Advice
The boon in credit has caused gloom for advice agencies, overwhelmed by people who have fallen into debt.
Organisations like the Citizens Advice Bureaux do not have the funds to provide the advice needed. Should the credit companies, banks and building societies pay for the service? John Howard looks at such a scheme operating in the United States, where even the finance companies have found it advantageous. He puts the findings to the Office of Fair Trading, the debt counsellors and organisations offering credit.

Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria are known as the Maghreb states - those at the western extreme of the Arab world. They have a distinct feel to them that sets them apart from the rest of the region. Each state supports the idea of Maghreb unity; but so far that has remained elusive. Morocco, with its ancient walled cities; Tunisia, with its tourist beaches and growing problems of Islamic fundamentalism; and Algeria, with its austere socialist system: what unites and divides the Maghreb states? Producer ALAN WILDING (e)
