Affordable homes, nuclear waste and space age make-up
Ofgem predicts the big six energy firms will make increased profits in the coming year. With Winifred Robinson.
The energy regulator OFGEM says the UK's big six energy firms are set to double their profit margins over the next year, yet British Gas has just announced a fall in its profits.
Would you like millions of pounds invested in your community? Sounds great, but there's a catch - you have to agree to store nuclear waste.
The government wants to build more affordable homes - we speak to one builder who has been trying to build houses for nine years.
And space-age technology in make-up? We ask a beauty journalist and space scientist for their opinion.
Presenter: Winifred Robinson
Producer: Louise Clarke-Rowbotham.
