With the final of Celebrity Traitors tomorrow, one in four adults in the UK is watching it. But the hit television series has now become a fashion influence. It's British heritage meets New Romantics, with people shopping the look and the retailers are stocking it. We hear from a super fan of the show and a fashion journalist about how the shows clothes have their made their way on to the high street. Two men who ran more than 40 copycat websites that conned people into overpaying for government services, have been convicted of fraudulent trading and sentenced at Bristol Crown Court. The men set up sites that looked like the official sites for collecting charges including for the Dartford Crossing and the London Ultra Low Emission Zone. We hear from Trading Standards about how to spot a copycat website. New figures today from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders show that 25% of all the new cars bought in October were battery electric - up from 20% a year ago. But the latest figure is still short of the official target. The government wants 28% of new cars sold to be electric by the end of this year. Price and the availability of public charging points remain big barriers. We hear how the government is planning to relax the rules around on street parking.
