As the recession bites ever deeper into our lives, how far will the government go to rescue ailing businesses? Should we follow the United States, and rescue, not just the banks, but the car industry as well? We also meet an MP who has been campaigning to get ministers to do more to make sure that young people who want to undergo body piercing don't suffer from serious infection as a result of unqualified workmanship. And how feasible is it to harness the heat generated in undergound train systems to create a viable alternative energy source?
