#5Things: Dirty money, best 'Doctor Who', flight price hikes, and more
Darren, Keri, and Sky have got your back with some of the top stories packaged just for you.
1. Leak reveals $2 trillion of possibly corrupt US financial activity
Leaked documents involving about $2tn of transactions have revealed how some of the world's biggest banks have allowed criminals to move dirty money around the world. The FinCEN files contain more than 2,500 documents, most of which were files that banks sent to the US authorities between 2000 and 2007. JP Morgan moved money for someone on the FBI’s most wanted list, Putin’s friends used a Barclays account to avoid sanctions, and Deutsche Bank moved some money that funded terrorism, to name a few.
2. Who is the best 'Doctor Who'? The results are in
Over the last 50-plus years, 'Doctor Who' has taken on many different forms, but when fans were asked to vote, it was clear who the favourite is. David Tennant has come out on top as 'Doctor Who' fans voted for their favourite Time Lord. Over 50,000 'Doctor Who' fans took part in a poll, which saw the current and first female Doctor (played by Jodie Whittaker) take second place.
David Tennant has been voted the best Doctor of all time!
