Universal Credit; Lost Telegram; Clean Air Zone
Changes to Universal Credit mean some working people will have to work more hours to keep their payments. We hear from those affected.
The Government's announced changes to Universal Credit which mean part-time workers will have it reduced if they fail to take "active steps" to work more. At the moment, this rule applies to people earning less than the equivalent of nine hours a week on the National Living Wage - but that threshold is changing to 15 hours. We speak to those affected.
Clean Air Zones are being introduced in some cities across the UK with the aim of reducing pollution and improving the health of residents. From today Bradford becomes the latest, where one in five children have breathing problems. Some taxi drivers in the city say it'll cost too much to upgrade their cars to ones that will comply with new emissions standards. We hear both sides of the story.
And can you help our listener who's lost his telegram from the Queen marking his 100th birthday?
