With Aasmah Mir and Russell Fuller. Including news of the NHS 'failing' the elderly.

Aasmah Mir and Russell Fuller. As a report finds the NHS is failing the elderly, we're on the wards in Chelmsford. And as inflation rises, we're with Belfast's squeezed shoppers.

The latest news, sport and travel updates with Aasmah Mir and Russell Fuller.

A damning report finds the NHS is failing elderly patients -- our reporter spends the day with staff in a hospital in Chelmsford, Essex.

Also in the news, a coroner says a US soldier in Afghanistan feared for his colleagues' safety when he set off the grenade that killed a British aid worker. We get the latest from the coroner's court in Trowbridge.

The cost of living rises again: inflation reaches its highest in more than two years. Meanwhile Northern Ireland has seen a sharp drop in the number of shoppers on the high street. We hear from shoppers in Belfast.

In sport, Samir Nasri is in the Arsenal squad to face Barcelona, Harry Redknapp says his team are built to attack for tonight's match with AC Milan, and England ask to use Chris Tremlett in their warm-up games for the cricket World Cup.
