People power - the campaign to stop tax on petrol going up by around 4p a litre in January.
If your home is at risk of flooding will you be able to get insured beyond 2013? Campaigners, the insurance industry and MPs think the government could end up picking up the bill.
And care home providers in the Midlands claim a victory in their battle to bump up the fees they get from councils. What impact will this have across the country?
And we begin a look at youth unemployment - what's it like to be 16 and searching for a job in Doncaster.
