Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
A government-commissioned report has branded the number of care leaver deaths a national tragedy, with more than 100 deaths of 18-to-24-year-olds recorded last year, leaving young people with no safety net. Separately, millions of women in England who have not attended cervical screenings are to be offered free at-home testing kits on the NHS, as part of a target to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040.
The trial of Abu Agila Masud, accused of making the bomb that brought down a Pan Am flight over Lockerbie in 1988, has been postponed in the US after new evidence emerged; Masud denies the charges. Nearly £10 billion is being allocated to councils and housing associations to build affordable homes across England, with more than 70,000 homes in the first wave, 60% for social rent. A new study shows caffeine levels vary widely in high street coffee, with a medium-cost cappuccino containing more than three times the caffeine of the same drink at Starbucks. Finally, new coins bearing the King's portrait have entered circulation, featuring a capercaillie bird on the reverse.
