Kayleigh Haywood, Walking & Tennis Scandal

Start your day with the latest news and updates, with Jim and Jo at breakfast.

It's two months now since a Leicestershire community was thrown into mourning with the death of teenager Kayleigh Haywood. The 15 year-old from Measham was found dead just outside Ibstock, after days of police searches. This morning, there will be a funeral at St Laurence Church in Measham. The Reverend Canon Vivian Elphick is taking the service, and has been speaking to 大象传媒 Radio Leicester's Christian Hill.
Also, the never ending quest to get fitter and healthier can feel particularly difficult at this time of time of year - but it could be easier than you think. Walking is a sociable and cheap way of getting up and out, and Charnwood Borough Council is backing a new group which met for the first time in Barrow upon Soar last week. Jo joined them and asked Matt Richardson from the council about the benefits of taking a stroll.
And, 大象传媒 News has seen secret files containing evidence of suspected match-fixing at the top of world tennis. An investigation with BuzzFeed News has obtained documents which show that, over the past decade, 16 players who have been ranked in the top 50, including Grand Slam champions, have been repeatedly flagged up to tennis officials. The sport has strongly denied that the allegations were suppressed.

Also in the show, why people living in one part of Leicester are stepping p the campaign to avert the closure of a local fire station, why there's anger after it was announced there would be no further criminal proceedings against the former Leicester MP, Greville Janner, and Jo Brand talks to us about her upcoming challenge for Sport Relief.
