It’s a year since millions in the US were blocked from accessing an abortion, and the debate is as divisive as ever. The reversing of the Roe v Wade ruling last summer was a controversial moment - both for those who believe termination ends an innocent life, and for those who feel any restrictions breaches a woman’s right to control her own body. In a joint investigation for BBC Newsnight and Our World, Anna Collinson has travelled across two neighbouring - but very different - US states to see how restrictions on abortion are impacting America.

Spinal cancer is one of the most common secondary cancers and, if not treated within 24 hours, can lead to double incontinence, paralysis and death in just 30 days. The BBC has been given exclusive access to a specialist service in the UK, which is working to extend patients' lives, giving people extra months for final holidays and proper goodbyes.

For four years Newsnight has been investigating problems with unregulated children’s homes. In 2019 we revealed how thousands of teenagers in care were being placed in unregulated homes, often where criminal gangs thrived and sexual exploitation was commonplace. Teenagers at that time told us they had been exploited, abused and left to fend for themselves. In 2021, after Newsnight’s investigation, the government changed the law making it illegal for children in care under 16 to be placed in these homes in England. Yesterday they went even further, announcing a ban for anyone under 18 in care from being housed in unsuitable adult settings too. Despite these changes to the law, vulnerable teenagers who are not in care are still being put at risk. A BBC investigation has found hundreds of teenagers at risk of homelessness have been put into adult accommodation like hostels. Charities say it's never appropriate to place 16 or 17 year olds in adult settings without specialist support because they could be exploited. Correspondent Anna Collinson reports.

Dozens of social-media influencers are promoting banned tanning products to millions of followers, a BBC News investigation has found. It is illegal in the UK to sell nasal sprays or injectables made with "melanotan-2", an artificial hormone that can accelerate tanning. The unlicensed drug is dangerous, dermatologists say, and there is evidence the untested products may be linked to skin cancer. The Advertising Standards Agency says all influencers must act responsibly, including ensuring products and the companies they link to are not acting illegally.

Today marks 75 years since the HMT Empire Windrush docked in the UK - carrying hundreds of passengers from the Carribean to fill labour shortages. Hundreds of thousands more Commonwealth citizens came in the 25 years that followed. But poor record keeping by the Home Office means it’s estimated tens of thousands were unable to prove they were in the country legally - and were prevented from accessing healthcare, work and housing. Dozens were wrongly deported. One of the leading lawyers representing Windrush victims has criticised the Home Office for not making more progress since the scandal broke - and is calling for another body to take over. But some have concerns that doing so could significantly delay making payments. The Home Office have said the figure paid or offered to Windrush Claimants is now £75 million.  In a statement, the Home Secretary Suella Braverman said the government were making improvements so the people receive the maximum award as quickly as possible, but that the government recognised there was more work to do. Newsnight’s Anna Collinson has been speaking to one family affected.

A report by The Times Newspaper that British Gas has been sending debt collectors, incentivised by bonuses, into thousands of homes under warrant to sometimes forcibly install prepayment meters has brought a complete turnaround by the company. British Gas immediately suspended the practice which is intended as a last resort for those unable to pay their bills and which hits the most vulnerable with higher bills. Ofgem told energy companies to stop the practice. Newsnight Correspondent Anna Collinson spoke to a woman with mobility issues who woke up to men in her house who had forced entry to fit a pre-payment meter. The number of requests for a warrant for forced entry coming before magistrates has rocketed in the past three years and stood at 367,000 last year. Newsnight examines the role of the courts and concerns that guidance introduced in 2019 means magistrates are now very rarely scrutinising warrant requests before granting them. The programme did ask to speak to the government but they declined. Representatives of the major energy companies and the energy regulator Ofgem said nobody was available to speak.

Gender bias is leaving many women with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) undiagnosed, leading psychologists are warning. The stereotype that ADHD affects only "naughty boys" means it is estimated tens of thousands of women in the UK are unaware they have the condition, and are not receiving the help they need. Another factor leading to slow diagnosis is the fact that symptoms of ADHD in women tend to be more subtle than in men, meaning signs can be missed. These women have shared their stories of their struggle to be diagnosed. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog #ADHD #BBCNews

Data shared with Newsnight exclusively by the Food Foundation suggests more than a quarter of UK households with children experienced food poverty last month - meaning they reduced what they ate, or skipped meals altogether. The charity says as the cost of living bites it has detected an alarming rise in cases. Upon seeing the findings the former Children's Commissioner told us the scale of deprivation is now a national emergency. A government spokesperson says its priority is always to support the most vulnerable and millions of households have been offered help with rising bills.

Newsnight’s Anna Collinson investigates the battle to introduce buffer zones around UK abortion clinics. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog It is more than four years since the UK's first so-called buffer zone was set up outside an abortion clinic in the London borough of Ealing. The aim was to prevent anti-abortion campaigners approaching - and often upsetting - patients. Pro-choice campaigners had hoped buffer zones - which are legally-protected spaces - would soon become the norm. But since 2018, only two more have been created in England, and BBC Newsnight has been told women are being regularly "harassed". Anti-abortion groups deny their gatherings target women, and some say that instead they are prayer vigils meant to offer help and support. They say that rolling out buffer zones would "criminalise prayer". However, patients say gatherings can make them feel "fear", "distress" or "shame". Pro-choice campaigners say the current requirement for evidence to support the establishment of a buffer zone is too demanding. They point to an example in Bournemouth where hundreds of pieces of evidence said to demonstrate the negative impact gatherings have had outside the local clinic were submitted to the council. These included statements from women with learning difficulties, teenagers and rape victims. A buffer zone has not been enforced.

Prince William and Princess Catherine may have strong links with a corner of north Wales, but historians say the new Prince and Princess of Wales will face challenges winning over others in the country with anti-monarchy sentiment higher than in England. Following Queen Elizabeth’s death, more than 25,000 have signed a petition calling for the title to be scrapped, describing it as an “insult” and “a symbol of historical oppression”. Newsnight’s Anna Collinson reports:

It's a year since pregnant women were first advised to take up the jab, but SAGE’s Professor Marian Knight says life-saving messaging is still struggling to reach too many of them. Professor Knight shared data with Newsnight Correspondent Anna Collinson showing that the vast majority of covid-related pregnancy deaths were from unvaccinated mothers. A JCVI spokesperson said the Committee’s advice for pregnant women has “evolved over the course of the vaccine programme as evidence has accumulated” and would encourage any pregnant women who have not yet taken up the vaccine to come forward to do so.

It is against the law for under-18s to receive dermal fillers for cosmetic reasons in England. But some beauty practitioners are illegally offering lip fillers on social media, the BBC has found. Currently in the UK no qualifications are required to buy or inject filler, which can add volume and fill lines in areas like the lips or cheeks. Following the BBC's investigation, Facebook says it has introduced measures which will make it harder for users to search for lip treatments. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog #BBCNews
