Jonah Lomu, Antibiotics & Pocket Parks

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

Tributes have been paid to the former New Zealand rugby union international Jonah Lomu who has died suddenly at the age of 40. The winger, who represented New Zealand between 1994 and 2002, had a rare and serious kidney condition. He's been described as a "legend" of the game. He famously crushed England in the 1995 World Cup semi-final - scoring four tries.
Also, GP's in Leicestershire and Rutland are backing a campaign to reduce the over-use of Antibiotics. Today is European Antibiotic Awareness day and it's claimed that after 70 years of treating patients, they are beginning to lose their effectiveness. Around 240,000 doses are dispensed in Leicester each year, so we've been asking these shoppers in Leicester about the use of the medicine
And, if you live or work in the centre of a city or town, you'll know its not always that easy to find a bit of greenery. Well now the Loughborough MP Nicky Morgan is encouraging local groups to apply for money to create up to a hundred so called "pocket parks" across the country. So exactly where could these little pieces of heaven be created?

Also in the show, the latest on the search for Leicestershire teenager Kayleigh Haywood, and updates from Paris, where heavy gunfire and a series of explosions have been heard in northern Paris, where a major police operation is underway in the hunt for those involved in Friday's terror attacks.
