Colin Paterson sits in
Lively late-night chat on stories you're talking about as Colin Paterson sits in. Flood fears across Britian, and should benefit claimants be told what they can spend it on?
The Met Office say it's expecting more rain and the Environment Agency has nearly 400 flood alerts and warnings in place this evening across England, Wales and Scotland. Colin speaks to people in the affected areas
The Work and Pensions Secretary says he's looking at whether a welfare card - that would limit how benefits are spent - is feasible. This comes after Conservative backbencher Alec Shelbrooke proposed the card which would allow benefits claimants to buy essentials, but not alcohol, cigarettes or Sky. A good idea or too draconian?
As Newsround and Blue Peter come to an end on 大象传媒1, Colin asks are the glory days of iconic children's TV behind us - is it now niche TV? Or has the choice and quality of kids telly never been better?
