Stock markets around the world have plunged in reaction to the import tariffs imposed by President Trump and then the retaliation of China which responded with its own tariffs on American goods. Economists have warned that this trade war could seriously damage the world economy, and make all of us poorer. By the end of Friday shares traded in London had fallen nearly 5% in price. What does that mean for investments?The earnings limit on Carer's Allowance is to rise this week. From 7th April working carers can earn up to £196 per week after certain deductions, the equivalent of 16 hours at the National Living Wage, and continue to claim Carer's Allowance. That's an increase of £45 compared to the previous earnings threshold. But what, if anything, does that mean for the thousands of carers who're in debt because they unwittingly got overpayments of the benefit?Last year we tapped our cards 19 billion times in shops, pubs, cafes, and retail outlets without using our PIN. At the moment the upper limit for contactless card payments in person is £100, but regulators are considering raising it or even scrapping it altogether. What would that mean in practice?And, a reminder to get your postage stamps before the cost of them goes up.Presenter: Paul Lewis Reporter: Peter Ruddick and Dan Whitworth Researchers: Eimear Devlin and Jo Krasner Editor: Jess Quayle(First broadcast at 12pm Saturday 5th April, 2025)

We asked two parents with children of determination, Gareth Jones and Steph Hamilton. We also looked at open finance, and how it could change the way families - and specifically women - save, with Sophia Bhatti, Founder & CEO, Wimbledon Wealth. And would you turn to AI for therapy?

A third of children and young people worldwide will be overweight or obese by 2050, according to a new worldwide study, while rates of obesity in children, younger teenagers and younger adults more than doubled between 1990 and 2021. But if you're worried that your child is overweight or obese, how can you help them? What is the best way to approach this tricky topic without making things worse? Krupa Padhy is joined by nutritionist and child feeding expert Julia Wolman and child psychologist Laverne Antrobus. In 2023, Eleanor Williams was found guilty of making up an Asian grooming gang in her hometown of Barrow-in-Furness. Her case was turned into the podcast series, Unreliable Witness, and we hear from producer Liz Lane about a new twist to the story. The vast majority of the UK's 5.8 million unpaid carers are female and more than half of them feel overwhelmed, according to the latest State of Caring survey by the charity Carers UK. Their report found an increasing number of people who are looking after a disabled, older or ill relative are experiencing poor mental health because they cannot take a break from caring. Krupa talks to Helen Walker, CEO of Carers UK, and Laura Barnes, who cares full time for her 100-year-old grandmother Joan. The body that governs the football Women's Super League is now considering the idea of suspending relegation – meaning no team would be demoted - in order to give time for the league to expand from 12 to 16 teams. Suzy Wrack, football writer at the Guardian and author of A Woman's Game, explains what this means for the game. Journalist and disability activist Lucy Edwards has just published her debut fiction book, Ella Jones vs the Sun Stealer, a mystery aimed at younger readers. It tells the story of 12-year-old Ella Jones who has been blind for two years and is navigating her new world with the help of her guide dog Maisie, her sister Poppy and her best friend Finn. She joins Krupa to talk about the book and her experiences sharing her own story online. Presenter: Krupa Padhy Producer: Sarah Jane Griffiths

The mother of a disabled child who spent much of her short life in hospital, is calling for more support for the carers of severely disabled children. And a disability advocate says in the 40 years she has been working with families, she has never seen carers so battered and bruised. Three-and-a-half year old Lauren Malcolm-Swindells died two years ago. Her mother Rachel Malcolm-Swindells says there were times when she was desperate for support and having to fight for help when she was already exhausted, took an enormous toll on her health. In an essay published today, Rachel outlines her journey. Rachel and disability advocate Colleen Brown join Mihi to discuss the support carers need.

This week, we're shining a light on the inspiring stories of two young caregivers, Aaliyah and Samiha, from Canada. At just 14 years old, Aaliyah has been caring for her younger sister with autism her entire life. She shares how she supports her sister's social interactions, helps with schoolwork, and even shares her passion for rock climbing. Aaliyah''s courage in the face of such responsibilities is inspiring. She found an outlet in the sport, using it as a way to channel her energy and reduce stress from the added responsibilities of caregiving.Samiha's story is equally powerful. She began caregiving at the age of 11 when her mother was diagnosed with ALS. Now 24, Samiha continues to care for her mother, who is on a ventilator and uses eye-gaze technology to communicate. Samiha describes the challenges of being a "sandwich generation" caregiver, caring for her mother while also supporting her younger sister. She credits the young carers program through Hospice Toronto for providing validation, support, and leadership opportunities that helped guide her through those difficult years.Both Aaliyah and Samiha emphasize the importance of finding community with other young caregivers who can truly understand their experiences. The young carers program gave them a space to be "normal kids" and build connections with peers facing similar circumstances. Their stories highlight the resilience, compassion and leadership skills that often develop in young caregivers, despite the challenges they face. This episode is a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity, and the crucial role that community support plays in their journey.About Samiha Rahman:I'm Samiha, a 24-year-old young caregiver from Toronto, Canada. I graduated with a Bachelor of Medical Sciences in 2022 from Western University and am going back there this fall for Medical School. Since graduating, I've been working at Hospice Toronto, a non-profit organization that I've been a part of for almost 10 years (with their Young Carers Program). I love spending time with my friends and family, walks by the lake, and trying new restaurants. About Aaliyah Zarem:I am a 14-year-old older sister and competitive rock climber. I also love camp and canoe trips. Support the Show.Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Sisterhood of Care, LLC Website: www.confessionsofareluctantcaregiver.com Like us on Facebook!
