Psychology of Fraud, Corner shop Wines, Card Only

We hear why 46% of 18-24 year olds are turning to their local corner shop over the supermarket when they buy wine.

With the popularity of fraud dramas like The Tinder Swindler and Inventing Anna - fraud is being discussed a lot at the moment - with the usual scoffing from people saying they wouldn鈥檛 ever fall for it. But people do - as we show from our reporting. We discuss why we fall for scams - the psychology of fraud - with Tammy Barnes, a fraud protect officer from Derbyshire Police, and Jenny Ratcliffe, who is described as a 'people hacker'.

The Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced a series of healthcare reforms yesterday. Proposals include ways to cut the huge NHS backlog of 6 million currently people waiting for hospital treatment. Patients will now be able to travel outside their area for treatment if it cuts their wait, and for those waiting longer than 18 months, they'll be offered treatment privately. We're joined by Rachel Power from the Patients Association to discuss the proposals.

Students and young people are turning to their trusty corner shop over the local supermarket when they want to pick up a bottle of wine. According to Wine Intelligence - a consumer research group - forty six per cent of 18 to 24 year olds in the UK buy their wine from convenience stores, compared to just 20 per cent of over 45's. We hear from independent wine expert and writer Aleesha Hansel why the well known brands like like Echo Falls, Hardys and Blossom Hill are popular buys from corner shops.
