A report into police actions over a Leicestershire mother who killed herself and her disabled daughter after years of abuse is being published. Reporter Sarah Sturdey is in Barwell looking at what's changed since the case hit the headlines.

Flight Lieutenant Alex Duncan has written a book called Sweating the Metal where he talks about the kit and body armour not being fit for purpose while he was out in Afghanistan. He tells Victoria of his experiences.
