Legal Highs, Booming Pubs & OAP Carers

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

New rules being introduced in a weeks time banning so-called 'legal highs' may not stop people using them, but instead drive them underground. That's the concern of a doctor specialising in addictions in Leicester.

A few years ago all we'd hear about the pub industry was that it was in steep decline. At its worst just last year the British Pub Association said that up to 29 pubs were shutting down every week in the UK. But is that about to change?

And if we asked you to picture a carer - someone who's having to look after a loved one - would you imagine someone aged over 80? Well, the charity Age UK says the number of people in that age group, who provide care, has risen sharply and it's calling on the government to do more to support them.
