Credit Suisse, one of Switzerland's largest banks, has been swallowed up by its rival UBS for £1bn.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has expanded free childcare for working parents in England to cover all children under five.

The move could allow 60,000 more parents of young children to enter the workforce according to the government’s independent forecaster.
