Reaction to the two reports looking into the 50 years of sex abuse allegations against Jimmy Savile - comments from the Health Secretary, a lawyer of the victims and charities.

Shelagh gets reaction to the joint NSPCC and Scotland Yard report into the extent of the sex abuse by Jimmy Savile - and the review by the Crown Prosecution Service which found Savile could have been charged while he was alive. The Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, a lawyer for more than 50 of the victims and the National Association for People Abused in Childhood all give their reaction.

In Friday's look at stories from around the world, Shelagh speaks to those involved in the bush fires raging in Australia - and the twelve year old boy who hasn't had a birthday present since he was five - but has been asking for money to help a charity in Malawi instead.

Also, a look at whether MPs deserve a pay rise after a number of them told the watchdog reviewing their salary they deserve a 32 per cent increase - which would mean going up from just under 66 thousand to more than 86 thousand pounds a year.
