We speak to Energy and Climate Change Minister at the opening of the world's biggest off-shore wind farm, 12km off the coast of Kent. As tens of thousand of undergraduates prepare to start their university courses Winifred Robinson interviews the boss of the Student Loans Company. After last year's problems, will students get their money on time? What do lipreading and cake icing have in common? Lessons for both are classed as 'leisure' courses, as opposed to 'essential'. The RNID says as a result they're costing too much, people can't afford them, and they should be reclassified as essential, to stop them disappearing altogether. And the BBC's Local Government Correspondent has the latest on what council cuts could mean to you.
