The family of a baby who died after his traumatic birth at a Kent hospital are calling for better training of NHS maternity staff.

It comes as new research by charity Baby Lifeline shows two-thirds of maternity trusts don't make attending sessions, on caring and screening unwell new-borns, mandatory for all staff.

Also in today's podcast: a former EastEnders star speaks out about being threatened with a knife near Dartford, ex-England manager Glenn Hoddle is on a life-saving mission on the Isle of Sheppey, and find out about Kent's connection to the new £20 note.
