It's 50 years today since Zara opened its first store. I've been given access to its HQ, to see how the fashion is created and talk to the boss of its parent company, Inditex.

Horizon victim Betty Brown has a new compensation offer but she says it's still not good enough and justice is being denied. First offer, 29% of what she claimed. Now it's 60%, after PO Minister promised to look into her case.

A big development in the Post Office Scandal. Lee Castleton OBE is launching legal action against the Post Office and Fujitsu to set aside the civil judgement against him and is also seeking compensation.

Terry Walters compensation offer for the Post Office scandal came through too late. It arrived just days after he died last month. Far less than what he'd claimed for, too. I've been speaking to his widow, Janet, before his funeral today.

It's understood he promised to look into some of the questions they raised and told them he'd do what he could to help them get an outcome they'd be happy with. Betty has only received an offer of just under a third of what she has claimed for.
