Tracksuits, Nuisance calls, Morrisons' results

Consumer affairs programme. A family describes how the battle to protect their 83-year-old mother from cold callers has made their lives a misery.

The supermarket chain Morrison's is selling off its chain of convenience stores. Now the UK's fourth largest supermarket tells us how their business has been doing lately. Has the new Chief Executive managed to turn around their fortunes?

Earlier this year the government promised a crackdown on nuisance calls. We find out whether the measures put in place are protecting the people they are intended to help and hear from a family struggling to protect their 83 year old mother from cold calls.

Winifred Robinson talks to a youngster with health care needs who found the services she needs fell away when she turned 18, as sometimes children's services stop before the adult equivalent starts. Today, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence - NICE - has published draft guidelines aimed at helping people to make the transition from child to adult services. Would it have have helped her?

And the rise and rise of sports luxe. That's tracksuits to most of us. But there isn't a shell suit in sight....
