Englandâs World Cup bid damaged?
A teenage Jehovahâs Witness from Smethwick declined possible life-saving treatment following an ultimately fatal accident - but perhaps other religionsâ rules affect health?
In Mid Morning today Jim hears the moving stories of three people whose families have all included a child with Downâs syndrome.
Chloe, only 21 when she gave birth to baby James, was not ready to hear her doctorâs news that there might be a problem.
But she and her partner have received enormous support from the professionals and they are very positive.
Sarah Sheppard, a mother of a Downâs syndrome child herself, is also the chair of the Shropshire Down's Syndrome Group â a group of families who have a child, teenager or young adult with Down's syndrome.
The group organises regular events and outings as a way of getting together and having fun, with a chance to catch up with friends, both old and new.
