If you've been anxious to get a ticket for a sold-out event you may well be aware of the 'secondary ticket' market: the companies on the web who offer seats that are hard to get in any other way - and sometimes at a very high price. There are attempts in the Lords to amend the consumer rights bill which is going through parliament to put obligations on such companies.

The latest twist in the immigration debate: crowded motorways, according to Nigel Farage. He blamed high levels of immigration and the state of the M4 for missing a meet-the-leader event ahead of UKIP's first Welsh conference. About 100 supporters each paid 拢25 for Friday's reception to meet the UKIP leader in Port Talbot on Friday evening but he did not arrive in time. The event at Margam Park was part of his party's conference which was held on Saturday. Labour criticised Mr Farage, calling his excuse "absurd".

How should Britain鈥檚 biggest police force the Metropolitan police tackle corruption by its own officers?听 This year, fresh doubts have emerged as to whether the force has ever dealt with it properly. They were sparked by a review by the barrister Mark Ellison. He suggested a detective who investigated Stephen Lawrence's murder had acted corruptly and that documents had been shredded. The Ellison review also added to concerns about the conduct of undercover officers in the Met.听 This week we'll be running a series of reports from our home affairs correspondent, Danny Shaw who's been given unprecedented access to the Scotland Yard department which carries out internal investigations.

It is a painfully difficult decision for a government to take when their citizens are being held by a group of ruthless terrorists. Should the government negotiate for their release (even pay a ransom) or risk using force to rescue them?听 One of the men being held by terrorists in Yemen was an American system and, as we now know, Washington sent in a team to rescue him. It went horribly wrong and he was killed. So was another man being held with him, a South African, Pierre Korkie. In Mr Korkie's case his wife had also been kidnapped and she was released after negotiations by the charity Gift of the Givers.听 They believe her husband would have been released as well.

The mother of a man who travelled to Syria to fight as a jihadist has told the 91热爆 she wouldn't have gone to the police if she had known how long his sentence would be. Yusuf Sarwar has been sentenced to twelve and a half years in prison.

The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby was more shocked by what he saw in a food bank in Britain than in a refugee camp in one of Africa's poorest countries filled with children: homeless,听 abandoned by their families in the panic of an attack by militants, all of them sick, most of them disabled.

It may not be the weather suitable for jumping on a trampoline in the back garden, but they've become hugely popular in recent years. But the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents says that they're responsible for a huge number of injuries, some of them very serious. ROSPA says that more than half of the sports-related injuries among children come from trampolines. They don't want trampolines banned - but think that families should be more aware of the danger. We're joined by John Beer, former British gymnastic technical director and international trampolinist, and by the columnist Lucy Cavendish.

Everyone said the coalition would be under strain in the last few months before the general election. Maybe it was inevitable that Liberal Democrats and Conservatives would feel it necessary to distinguish themselves before the vote.

He joins us now.

The respected scientist Lord Winston has criticised a Conservative MP for what he says is his 'lunatic' backing of homeopathy.
