Here and Now

on BBC One London

As the number of teenage pregnancies continues to rise, Anastasia Cooke visits a school in Leeds where pupils take home life-like baby dolls that are programmed to cry every few hours. She also goes to a school in Newcastle upon Tyne where mothers as young as 14 take their babies into the classroom.

With tighter rules covering the distribution of legal aid and the rise of consumer power, more people than ever are choosing to fight their own battles in court. Reporter Denise Mahoney meets bus driver Mick Plunkett, who has the reputation of being Britain's most successful "DIY lawyer". To date he has successfully contested more than 50 cases.

Plus in an item postponed from 14 April, Steve Annett meets people whose sleepwalking has landed them in court.
With Sue Lawley.
