Major Kate Philp talks about her recent expedition to the South Pole with the charity Walking Wounded, the impact of losing her leg in Afghanistan and why she's physically as strong and fit as the men.

Vicki Wickham, music pioneer and editor of the iconic British music television show 'Ready, Steady, Go' has received an OBE for services to music. She talks about booking the Beatles, working with Dusty Springfield and bringing Motown to Britain.

The National Childbirth Trust wants the government to improve the diagnosis and treatment of tongue-tie in the UK. The parenting charity says detection is patchy and means affected babies are left unable to feed properly for weeks or even months. So should professionals routinely check for and treat tongue-tie?

Seven members of the Oxford grooming ring were jailed for a total of 95 years in June 2013 after an 18-week trial at the Old Bailey. They groomed, raped and prostituted girls as young as 11 in Oxford between 2004 and 2012. We hear from 'Lara', one of the young girls who survived that abuse and her mother, 'Elizabeth'.
