On Thursday's programme, we discussed US President Donald Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chairman. Why did Mr Trump pick the former Fed official, and what are some of the concerns about him? We found out with economists.
After the break, we learned more about a new type of traffic scam, where fraudsters falsely claim injuries after filming drivers’ minor traffic violations to demand compensation.
And finally, an NGO told us about problems faced by scam victims, after handling nearly 4,000 requests for help last year.
