Ransomware, in-hospital injury lawyer adverts and nursing home closures

Criminals who hold your computer to ransom through bugged software. Personal injury lawyers advertising in A&E. Why nursing homes are closing and we visit a new energy firm.

We have the latest figures on how many criminals tap into people's computers and store what's called ransomware, which freezes your device until you pay for a password.

We ask if it's right for personal injury lawyers to be able to advertise in a hospital Emergency Department.

Our reporter Jon Douglas looks at why so many nursing homes seem to be closing.

Winifred Robinson visits Extra Energy, one of the new players in the energy market.
