Amanda Holden speaks of her utter shock that thousands of miscarried and aborted babies are incinerated as clinical waste in hospitals.
As influential Labour thinkers write a letter urging Ed Miliband to be more visionary when making policy, we ask voters what they want to see in the party's next manifesto. Also today, Victoria speaks to Amanda Holden who tells of her utter shock that thousands of miscarried and aborted babies are incinerated as clinical waste rather than cremated in hospitals. Ten NHS trusts have admitted burning foetal remains alongside other rubbish while two others used the bodies in 'waste-to-energy' plants which generate power for heat. The Human Tissue Authority say they're clarifying guidelines. In other news, the Law Society has published guidance on making wills compliant with sharia law - that can mean women are left out. So should Islamic Sharia law ever be used by UK solicitors when they're drawing up wills? We speak to a British solicitor who's already using it. And we have the latest from the trial of Oscar Pistorius.
