There is confusion today over an announcement by the Prime Minister that a new hospital will be built in Kent.
Speaking at a fringe event at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester, Boris Johnson said it would be built in Canterbury.
But that's come as a surprise to people in the city after it wasn't included in an original list published by the government at the weekend.
Also in today's podcast: murder investigation underway in Dover, attacks on prison staff rise and volunteers help police in missing people searches.
