Synopsis
Jeremy discusses dangerous parks that people avoid, a prison fire in Honduras, Miriam O'Reilly leaving the BBC and "dependency" on the state.
HONDURAS PRISON FIRE
A fire sweeps through a prison in Honduras, killing more than 350 inmates.
DANGEROUS PARKS
A thirteen year old is stabbed to death in a park in Doncaster that locals say has a reputation for antisocial behaviour. Is there a park near you that you always avoid?
MIRIAM O'REILLY
We speak to ex-Countryfile presenter Miriam O'Reilly, who is leaving the BBC to fight for women's equality one year after winning an age discrimination case against the corporation.
MORBIDLY OBESE
Plymouth City Council is challenging the level of care it gives to a morbidly obese woman, saying her worst enemy is her own “dependency” on the state.
