  • Why parents are taking councils to court over special educational needs

    Why parents are taking councils to court over special educational needs
    Sep 22 2025
    "Terrifying" and "massively overwhelming". That's how one mum described the prospect of taking her council to court to get the special educational needs support she thinks he needs.

    She also had to sell her car to fund the fight.

    In 99% of cases, councils lose. ITV Anglia's Neil Barbour tells Lucy Watson why so many councils still face off with parents, at significant costs to them too.

    Lucy and Neil are also joined by Claire Rooney, the founder and CEO of EHCP.org.uk - a new platform, launching soon, to help parents through the process of applying for an Education, Health and Care Plan.

    How do drone deliveries work and why can't they land in the UK?
    Sep 18 2025
    Takeaway food, coffee, ice lollies - you name it - can be delivered to your back garden in minutes at the press of a button.

    It won't come by road, where it might get stuck in traffic, but by air - arriving at your door still piping hot.

    This isn’t science fiction, it's everyday life in parts of Dublin.

    Drones take off on their own, fly on their own, and deliver on their own.

    So, how do they work, and who controls them?

    And what's stopping them from landing in the UK right now?

    Our Science correspondent Martin Stew saw the drones in action and tells Lucy Watson what you need to know.

    'Unite the Kingdom’ march: Why this far right 'moment' matters for Britain
    Sep 15 2025
    Up to 150,000 people are thought to have descended on London to hear Tommy Robinson and a number of his like-minded guests - including Elon Musk - speak.

    An outbreak of violence was perhaps to be expected as their followers fought with police separating them from anti-racism protesters in Whitehall.

    But it was the overall scale of Saturday’s Unite The Kingdom rally that clearly took the authorities by surprise.

    So how significant a moment was this for the far right? And what are the repercussions for Britain and our politics?

    Our correspondent John Ray was on the ground at the march and tells Daniel Hewitt what you need to know.

    What the Southport Inquiry is for and the horror a teen victim described
    Sep 11 2025
    WARNING: This podcast contains details of the Southport stabbing attacks

    The attacks in Southport last year on young, defenseless, innocent children horrified and upset the whole country.

    Children and adults stabbed, many more traumatised - and three girls: little Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice Aguiar, murdered in a holiday dance class.

    Now their grieving parents, alongside victims and families are having to describe the impact of that horrific summer's day.

    It is all for an inquiry to determine if Axel Rudakubana - the killer - could have been stopped long before he even got to the door of that dance workshop.

    And now for the first time, we've heard one of the children - who was stabbed in the attack - describe the horror in her own words.

    ITV Granada Reporter Anna Youssef has been at the inquiry and tells Lucy Watson what you need to know.
