Swine flu dominates as two more young children die from the virus, this time in Northern Ireland. Stephen hears from the Chair of the GP committee in Wales and the Director of Immunisation at the Department of Health.

Single mother Chrystal explains why her 5 year old son has decided to moved out to live with his aunt because he no longer wants to share a bedroom with his 4 year old sister - and why she's let him.
