The latest from the Women's Rugby World Cup in Paris.

According to new NHS figures for England the number of children aged between 10 and 14 turning up at hospital after deliberately hurting themselves has risen by 70 per cent in the past two years, a rise of more than 2,700. Child Line says they have had a 41% increase overall in calls about self-harm since 2011. Jane talks to Lucie Russell, director of campaigns and media from the charity Young Minds.

Many women who suffer from pelvic pain have a 'hypertonic pelvic floor', which means that their pelvic muscles are in spasm. Jane is joined by Vicky Keates, a specialist women's health physiotherapist to discuss how pelvic pain can make sex and even sitting down almost impossible, and why more GP's need to refer women with this problem to a physiotherapist.

If you've just spent the last couple of weeks on holiday in the country has it made you think about moving there full time? What are the implications of uprooting your family and moving out of the city for a life in countryside? Does it offer a better lifestyle or is the rural idylls not all it's cracked up to be?

And stand-up comedian Deborah Frances-White talks about how searching for her birth mother inspired her one woman show Half a Can of Worms.
