We investigate more complaints from people who say their local authorities have cut their care budgets to save money. We hear from the son of a 92-year-old man with Alzheimer's disease, who says his council is threatening to strip back his father's care. We also speak to Belinda Schwehr from the Centre for Adults' Social Care, a charity that gives advice on health and social care rights.

The UK's largest dog welfare charity is warning that thousands of more dogs could be abandoned in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. The Dogs Trust says more owners could give up on their pets because of behavioural problems that developed during the lockdown, or simply because they no longer have the time and money to look after them. We speak to their Chief Executive, Owen Sharp.

Our reporter Shari Vahl investigates how criminals are getting round new bank account security and tricking people into handing over large sums of money. Earlier this year banks put in a new system called Confirmation of Payee so every payment to a new person made online has to match the name on the account along with the sort code and account number. The fraud is called Authorised Push Payment and last year happened to more than 122,000 people, who lost a total of nearly half a billion pounds.
