We report on the campaign to reunite thousands of trawler men with their missing pensions and ask whether smartphones can be the salvation of the retail sector?

Thousands of men who fished the seas around Britain have missed out on receiving the pension they are entitled to. As a national campaign to 'Find a Fishermen' draws to a close we ask what happens next to reunite the men with their money.

After the release of disappointing sales figures for May, can smartphones be the retail sector's salvation? In the last 9 months, research shows online purchases using a mobile have increased by 13 percent. We look at what's driving this trend and how retailers can make the most of it.

And we report on the latest increase in household fuel bills which has prompted the energy watchdog to call for an investigation by the Competition Commission.
