Miriam O'Reilly, the presenter sacked from Countryfile, on her age discrimination fight. She tells Victoria other presenters are worried about discrimination too.

Miriam O'Reilly speaks to Victoria about ageism in television.

The television presenter - fired from her job on Countryfile when it hit primetime scheduling and advised to seek cosmetic help - recently won a landmark ruling accepting she was a victim of age discrimination. 

Miriam reveals she's not the only one worried about ageism, and explains why she refused to negotiate a settlement.

With West Ham the apparent victors in the race for the Olympic Stadium, fans of the Hammers, Spurs, and former Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell give their reaction.

We also hear live from Cork Airport, the scene of a plane crash in heavy fog.
