Care abuse, car dealerships and dog mess.

How the effects of dementia can complicate allegations of sexual abuse in a care setting.

When there are allegations of a sexual assault in a care home between residents, it's not always as simple as calling the police. People in a care setting often have dementia and lack the capacity to understand what's happened. A new report out today shines a light on this difficult issue - we talk to the regulator in England, the Care Quality Commission.

The UK's biggest car manufacturer, Ford, has announced it's closing almost half of its car dealerships. The firm says the way we buy cars has changed and we're less likely to visit a showroom multiple times before buying a car - now we just go online to do the research before making a single visit to a dealer. It's hoping the 200 or so franchisees affected will become service centres for vans and electric cars.

And the people who bag up their dog's mess as they're supposed to but then just leave it hanging on trees, hedges - or even worse, NEXT to a bin! We hear from some famous dog owners on what they've seen out on a walk.

Producer: Simon Hoban
