BBC local news is vital – and never more than during a pandemic
The biggest show on TV isn’t what you might expect. Regional TV news doesn’t get talked about on Twitter as much as Love Island, but it beats it in terms of viewers.

Evidence from abroad shows the unregulated black market will benefit unless we get the gambling review right
In the final debate in the House of Commons before the summer recess, the Minister heading the Government’s Review of Gambling, John Whittingdale, told MPs: “It is very important that we create a safe space where people are given protection if they are gambling online, but we do not want to drive them away from the regulated sector and into the black market. That is certainly something that we will bear in mind during our consideration of these things”.
