st helen's is an independent, fee paying school and accessing remote lessons isn't a problem for theils. we are very lucky here, our children do have the technology in their homes. but that isn't true across the county and the gap is going to widen. the pandemic widening society's educational divide. right, good morning, yearii. all right, murray? good to see you. the oasis academy in coulsdon, south london, is part of a network of 52 state schools. they've seen first—hand the impact of the pandemic on the less well off. the inequity has really been laid bare for our young people. we've had a 43% increase for example, in vulnerable students during this time. so that's a 43% increase. and so that's food provision, that's mental health, that's child protection issues. and so undoubtedly it had a big impact. schools do a heck of a lot more than education, we've got to try and make sure that we help the students in any way and get rid of barrier that stops them from learning. these food parcels are being prepared for parents in need to collect. there's a whole mix, so they've got fresh c

hard today and many weeks to come to make sure as many people as possible are vaccinated here at st helens inquest is a battle that we must continue in nora's name. nora quoirin, from south london, went missing in august 2019 in central malaysia — a day after the family arrived there on holiday. hundreds of people joined the search for the 15—year—old. nine days later, her body was found in thejungle near the resort where they were staying. earlier this month, a coroner in malaysia ruled it was death by misadventure, suggesting nora probably wandered out on her own at night and got lost — in an accident, out on her own at night and got lost — an accident, rather than a crime. but her parents say it just doesn't add up. they believe, more than ever, that nora was abducted. we feel that for so many reasons. i suppose the easiest one to dwell on is the fact that there was an open window. someone opened that window. it wasn't any of us. we were always there. it couldn't have been a member of staff, for instance. so that is totally unexplained. but, also, we lived for 15 years with nora. she ne
