When Addenbrookes hospital declared a major incident this week they said that 20% of their patients had finished their treatment and didn't need to be there but - for various reasons - they were waiting to be discharged. Those already occupying beds, especially the old or frail cannot be quickly or easily discharged. Such patients may need support at home -聽 they may be anxious about returning to independent life after many weeks in the hospital. At St Peters one charity provides a support service to help as Sanchia Berg has been finding out.

The French prime minister, Manuel Valls, said last night that with 17 people dead there had聽 been a 'clear failing' of intelligence in France. The two killers at Charlie Hebdo, now dead, were on European and American no-fly lists and had a history of extremism. And President Hollande said on television last night that France had to be vigilant. That isn't a message that's confined to France. These tragic days are also a warning. We're joined by Wil Van Gemert, Deputy Director of Operations at Europol and Dr Shimon Samuels, Director of International Relations at the Simon Wiesenthal Centre.

Researchers at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine believe that are not that far away from developing Africa's first affordable universal anti snake venom. Currently, certain countries have many different deadly snakes and it's often difficult to guess which one had bitten a patient so doctors administer multiple vials which increases the risk of side effects. It's believed that snake bites kill roughly thirty thousand people per year in the region. To create the medicine, scientists are squeezing venom from the fangs of more than four hundred snakes at the Liverpool Venom Research Unit. We hear from Dr Rob Harrison, lead researcher on developing universal anti-snake venom at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.
