Presented by Winifred Robinson. The government and councils are considering using old military sites to store recycling waste, which can't be sold because the market for waste has declined steeply. The chairman of Lloyds of London, Lord Levene, offers his views on the current economic crisis and how it may affect the insurance industry. There are three major museum projects underway in the North: the Riverside Museum in Glasgow, the Great North Museum in Newcastle and now the Museum of Liverpool. The city has £70 million to spend on the new project but what will be in it? Chairman of the NML Trust Phil Redmond and Janet Dugdale, who is in charge of the museum's exhibits, discuss.

But it is a business model that is being well and truly tested now. The Government has decided to award a new contract for a card account used by millions of people to receive benefits and pensions to the Post Office.
