Alzheimer's, The Circus & Childhood Heroes

Start your day with the latest news and updates, with Jim and Jo at breakfast.

One story that features on many of this morning's front pages is a new study into Alzheimer's disease. It's identified a theoretical possibility that the condition - which affects more than half a million people in the UK - could be "spread" through surgical procedures.
Also, The circus has come to Ashby De La Zouche this week, but a leading animal charity is asking us to give it a miss. Peter Jolly's Circus is in town until 13th September, but the RSPCA is angry at its use of "wild animals" and is calling for a complete ban on their use.
And, who was your childhood hero? That's the question the organisers of Children In Need want you to answer this year. The 麻豆官网首页入口's annual fundraising extravaganza launches officially today and we're all being asked to get dressed up as the person we used to idolise to help make a difference to young lives in the future.
