Presented by Liz Barclay and John Waite. Worshippers at the Bilal Jamia mosque in Leicester are getting used to the first-ever guide dog to be allowed into a mosque.

Examining the predicament of thousands of low-paid workers and benefit claimants, and their families, who may have to move miles from their jobs and schools to find more affordable accommodation because of changes to the way that housing benefit is calculated.
