Zero Hours Contracts; 成人快手school Diary; Rhod Gilbert On Care

Comedian Rhod Gilbert on what it was like to be a carer for a day.

Since the lockdown started, people working on zero hours contracts have been hit the hardest financially, according to new research. The charity, Turn2Us surveyed more than two thousand people - and found that one in four workers on zero hours contract aren't getting any pay at all because their work has completely dried up. We'll hear from an artist who's income has plummeted, and speak to the charity about their research.

A new study suggests people who're victims of cybercrime - things like hacking and computer viruses - feel violated in a way similar to other serious crimes. The report, which being described as the first major study of its kind, took evidence from more than three hundred victims - individuals and businesses. We'll speak to Professor Mark Button, the Director of the Centre for Counter Fraud studies at the University of Portsmouth who carried out the research. It was commissioned by the 成人快手 Office who say they'll consider its findings carefully.

Many parents who're homeschooling are anxious to know when they can send their children back to school. Some experts are predicting that they may start to reopen next month, but it's not been confirmed. At the beginning of the lockdown, we spoke to Joanne Lowe who has four children. She's been keeping an audio diary of how she's been getting on as parent and teacher.

And the comedian Rhod Gilbert on what is was like to do work experience as a carer, for his new 成人快手 programme. Filmed before the Coronavirus crisis, 'Rhod Gilberts' work experience airs tonight on 成人快手 2 at 10pm.
