Women Gamblers; Harry Styles; Auction Theft

There's been a big increase in the number of women gambling in the pandemic. The charity Gamble Aware say nearly a million women are at risk of harm.

An awareness campaign is being launched to support an estimated one million UK women at risk of harmful gambling. The charity Gamble Aware says some may not recognise the warning signs or feel too much shame and stigma to seek help. The estimates come from a nationally representative YouGov poll of 9,649 women, using a recognised scoring system - Problem Gambling Severity Index - to measure gambling harms. It suggests half a million could be dangerously hooked.

We hear one woman's fight to recover valuable artwork stolen by a removals man who sold it off at auction. He's been jailed for two years but victims say they can't now get help from the police in finding their lost items.

And former One Direction frontman Harry Styles announced a big new tour this year after the original dates were cancelled in the pandemic. But the venues this time are much bigger and although fans who booked for the cancelled shows were given early access codes, they aren't happy with the seats they've ended up with.
