Schools across the UK are being accused of invading children's privacy by using CCTV cameras in toilets and changing rooms. The campaign group, Big Brother Watch, claims an average of 24 cameras are in use by each secondary school. Dave Lee-Allen is Deputy Head at Westbourne Sports College. He tells James why there's a camera in one of the toilets at his school.

The Prime Minister has apologised to relatives of the 96 victims of the Hillsborough stadium disaster for their suffering of the past 23 years. An independent panel has released thousands of previously secret official documents relating to Britain's worst sporting disaster when Liverpool supporters died in a crush at an FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield. Suffolk Coastal MP Therese Coffey described the cover-up by police and the emergency services, who tried to pin the blame on fans, as absolutely shocking. James talks to our reporter James Alexander who has spent the day at Liverpool Cathedral where the report was released.

The East Suffolk Travellers' Association is vowing to fight a decision over bus routes in Southwold. Big buses are to stay banned from using the High Street. Town councillors met last night to decide if they should back moves to make the restriction permanent. The trial scheme was brought in to curb congestion. The mayor of Southwold, Michael Ladd, said they want to run a minibus to make things easier. James speaks to the Secretary of ESTA, Rod Lock, who says this simply isn't enough.
