Ukraine and demand for Sunflower Oil; Fenwick turns 140

Jon Douglas in Newcastle on the future of Fenwick. Ultamodan complaints. Debt advice demand. The 'Bridgerton' Effect.

Our Reporter Jon Douglas is live in Newcastle where the original Fenwick store has turned 140. He'll find out about a 40 million pound investment for the store and Winifred speaks to Chief Executive John Edgar about the future of the department store model and life on the high street.

We're looking at the situation for travellers off on Easter getaways as Easyjet and BA cancel flights and Eurotunnel experiences delays.

The sunflower is the national symbol of Ukraine and now supplies of one of it's biggest exports are waning because of the invasion. Russia and Ukraine account for around 60 percent of the global market in the oil. Food manufacturers in the UK are having to turn to other oils such as rapeseed and palm oil as a substitute.

Series two of Bridgerton is on Netflix which means 'the Bridgerton Effect' is back, influencing fashion and what we buy. Searches of opera gloves and Regency-inspired fashion are up. Winifred speaks to Fashion writer Amber Graafland and vintage shop owner Sophia Barrese
