    Italy's state TV journalists to strike over Meloni government's grip

    Journalists at Italian state broadcaster RAI will strike next month in protest against the "suffocating control" over their work by Giorgia Meloni's right-wing government, the reporters' trade union Usigrai said on Thursday. The union criticised political attempts "to turn RAI into a mouthpiece for the government" among a raft of grievances behind the 24-hour strike scheduled for May 6. Undue political influence over RAI is a long-standing issue in Italy, which re-erupted most recently last weekend over the last-minute cancellation of a talkshow appearance by writer Antonio Scurati.

    Martin Lewis warns Barclaycard ‘under radar change’ could ‘double’ debt

    Martin Lewis has warned a Barclaycard “under radar change” could “double” your debt. Barclaycard will be reducing minimum monthly credit card repayments, meaning people will be able to pay back less per month, from 22 July. Mr Lewis calculated that under the changes, a person paying the minimum balance of a £1,000 debt would take 19 years and three months to pay back instead of nine years and eight months and would rack up £1,655 in interest instead of £699.
