Edgar van der Meer explains why ministers are to investigate energy firms profit claims
Energy suppliers are allegedly making larger profits than they admit. The Sun Newspaper claimed they could be making a 24% profit margin, almost six times higher than figures provided by regulator Ofgem. The newspaper based its claims on a PwC report commissioned by Energy UK. Energy UK rejects the claims saying they were "a misrepresentation of facts". But now Business Secretary Greg Clark has started an investigation. To get a clearer grasp on the situation and the upcoming investigation, Matt Cox spoke to Senior Analyst at NRG Expert, Edgar van der Meer.

Dame Esther Rantzen & Tony Neate, the CEO of Get Safe Online explains
What would you do if you found yourself on the receiving end of a scam call? Well, you're not alone if you wouldn't know what to do - in fact, one in five of us have no idea. More startlingly, according to Get Safe Online, almost half of us wouldn't be able to spot a scam at all. As a nation, we pride ourselves on our good manners and chivalry, but are we too polite for our own good? Gregor Watt was joined by Dame Esther Rantzen & Tony Neate, the CEO of Get Safe Online.

Have you ever been the victim of online fraud?
Have you ever been the victim of online fraud? New research, by internet security experts Kaspersky Lab, has revealed that a third of us have been targeted by fraud and two thirds have experienced it on more than one occasion. With the increased use of online banking and online shopping, many of us are now relying on banks in the event of financial fraud, to reimburse any money lost. Gregor Watt spoke to David Emm, Principal Security Researcher at Kaspersky Lab and began by asking whether we are being too complacent in expecting our banks to always foot the bill when we experience online fraud.
