Research by Fair4All Finance shows almost two in five Londoners are in "financially vulnerable circumstances", meaning they may find it harder to access credit from mainstream lenders.

The Islamic Republic of Iran killed this teenager because she was against compulsory hijab.
Her name was #SarinaEsmaeilzadeh, a 16-year-old girl who was killed on Sep 23 in Karaj as a result of baton blows from the security forces.
