Fake Facebook Adverts; Mere; Buy Now Pay Later

Why won't Facebook take down fake adverts scamming customers and damaging businesses? And "The Russians are coming" and promising to deliver rock bottom food prices in the UK.

We told Facebook about fake adverts that are damaging an artist's business and ripping off his fans, so why still are they allowing new ones to be posted?

Consumer campaigners Which? call for greater regulation of "buy now-pay later" deals but is the 'harm' they do exaggerated?

The Russians are coming! Siberian based ultra low priced chain Mere say they'll open 300 stores in the UK; we'll hear from Germany, where they are already in business. What can UK consumers expect of an enterprise that has been described as one rung above a food bank?

Can virtual make up counters ever really make up for the real thing?

And, we'll hear about an elderly couple who suddenly lost their phone and internet connections for more than a month and why the telecoms regulator Ofcom agrees that the old and vulnerable need a better deal from phone and internet providers.
