Cancer patients at Birmingham Children's Hospital are to benefit from a new form of surgery, thanks to a donation from The Azaylia Foundation.

In August, the hospital's charity was given a cheque for £20,000 from the foundation, which is to be spent on a piece of equipment that enables augmented reality surgery.

The Azaylia Foundation was created in memory of Azaylia Cain, who was treated at the hospital after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukaemia at just eight weeks old and died in April.

The surgery uses special dye to light up some tumours, but it can show where the normal tissues are, helping to determine what tissue needs to be removed.

Max Pachl, a consultant paediatric surgeon at Birmingham Children’s Hospital, said: “This equipment and use of dye has the potential to be a game changer in the standard of care for oncology surgery.

"I have trialled the procedure myself with a number of our patients and families, so know first-hand what a difference it will make to hundreds more over the coming years. In the longer term, widespread use of ICG in our oncology surgery in Birmingham will place us firmly as one of the top performing hospital trusts in the UK and Europe for cancer surgery in children."

A delay to Together Energy paying the regulator is in the firm's "best interest", a spokesman says.

A project to create new orchards is getting under way after being delayed due to the pandemic.

Three new orchards have been planted at the county's National Trust-run Brockhampton Estate in Herefordshire after years of decline.

It's estimated that during the last century, over half of all orchards across the country have been lost.

"We've lost 22 hectares at Brockhampton so putting in this orchard has put that back and some, so we really feel that we've done our bit," says Iain Carter, countryside manager with the National Trust.

"You know, we're in Herefordshire, surely orchards are what's associated with our county."

The project, funded by the People's Postcode Lottery and the Arts Council, aims to be an all-year-round visitor attraction, and has easy access to the public and people with disabilities.

Having begun in March 2020 with two laps, Mr Jones said he had increased the number to complete 40 a day.

A flood alert has been issued by the Environment Agency (EA) for the Severn Vyrnwy confluence, external.

Recent rainfall means river levels are rising at the gauge at Llanymynech, which straddles the border between Powys and Shropshire.

Consequently, flooding is imminent, the EA says.

"We expect flooding to affect low lying land and roads adjacent to the river from the Welsh border at Llawnt to Shrawardine near Shrewsbury, it said.

"Other locations that may be affected include Llanymynech, Maesbrook and Melverley."

The water is expected to peak at Llanymynech this morning at levels between 3.9m and 4.1m.

Work is to begin to repair a collapsed sewer pipe in Shrewsbury.

The work on Longden Road will start on Wednesday and is expected to take five days.

The pipe is underneath the middle of the road, adjacent to the Kingsland Road junction, Shropshire Council said.

Severn Trent Water waste department carried out further investigations on Longden Road after a blocked sewer caused problems in October.

Due to the location of the sewer, an urgent temporary road closure will be required to undertake a permanent repair.

Severn Trent operatives are currently using tankers to relieve the system on a daily basis to prevent the road from flooding, the authority said.

While the road is closed, traffic will be diverted and access will be maintained to properties and businesses at all times.

Affected residents and business will be notified, with advance warning signs placed on site.
