Louise Porton, 23, of Skiddaw, Rugby, is accused of killing 16-month-old Scarlett Vaughan and three-year-old Lexi Draper in 2018.

Opening the prosecution case at Birmingham Crown Court, Oliver Saxby QC told the jury that there was no natural cause to explain their deaths and that symptoms showed someone had deliberately interfered with their breathing.

The court heard that Lexi had been taken to hospital on two occasions early in January 2018 with apparent breathing problems.

Doctors believed she had a chest infection and she was given antibiotics and discharged but a week later paramedics responding to a 999 call found Lexi dead in her home.

The jury was told that Porton appeared unnaturally detached after her daughter’s death and examination of her phone showed searches.

She denies the murders and the trial continues.

Staff at Shropshire's two health commissioning bodies are being told the effects of their merger on jobs will be clarified as soon as possible.

And the head of the Telford and Wrekin Clinical Commissioning Group, David Evans, said: "While nothing has been decided yet, uncertainty often leads to people leaving where they work to find somewhere stable so we are working to reassure people quickly.”

The decision to merge the county’s two CCGs is aimed at saving them £1.2m this year.

They're due to combine early next year and Shropshire's CCG is holding its final annual meeting next week.

Unused council-owned land in Shropshire could have trees planted on it, to help tackle climate change.

Shropshire Council's new climate task force has suggested using land with little agricultural value and the group will meet again next month, to get advice from council officers.

The cross-party group, which was holding its first meeting, also discussed plans to reduce congestion, increase the number of electric vehicles and reduce the number of council staff driving to work.

The 17-year-old was found in February 2017 with a ligature around her neck.

A man's been taken to hospital with "serious injuries" after he was hit by a van on the A46, just outside Evesham.

West Midlands Ambulance Service said it was called at 07:50 to the junction with the A44 Badsey Road, near to the Volkswagen dealership.

The road is still closed in the southbound direction, causing congestion from the Twyford roundabout and through the town centre.

The new boss in temporary charge of Shropshire's hospitals says she's in favour of centralising emergency services.

Paula Clark's task will be to oversee the reorganisation of services which would see Shrewsbury's hospital becoming the only centre for emergency medicine.

The reorganisation, which is being scrutinised by the Department of Health, also involves specialist women and children's services moving to Shrewsbury and Telford becoming a centre for planned operations.

Ms Clark said she supported the move because accident and emergency staff are "very hard to come by". "The idea of centralising emergency care into a place where we have all the latest equipment and technology, must be the better way for patients," she said.
