When you're doing an outside broadcast in a maternity unit, of course you want to meet a newborn baby and luckily I did. 

Just a short while ago I spoke to Claire who had baby Harriet at 19:39 last night. 

She was in a bit of a hurry to be born as Claire and her partner John only arrived at the Rosie just before 19:00 and minutes later she arrived, weighing in at a very respectable 7lbs 15oz. 

The new mum said was was "still buzzing" despite lack of sleep and says the staff and midwives have been "amazing and fantastic."

In 2015, the Rosie Hospital in Cambridge was rated "inadequate" by the Care Quality Commission. 

The hospital says things have been turned around and it's now improved and has a "good" rating. 

Anna Shasha, the head of midwifery, told me that they "decided to make changes" and the hard work of her "determined" staff had "paid off". 

The hospital also employed nine new midwives, meaning it now has a full staff and only occasionally has to use "bank" midwives.

This morning I'm presenting the first ever live outside broadcast from the Rosie Hospital in Cambridge. 

It was Cambridge's first purpose-built maternity hospital and originally opened on Addenbrooke's Hospital's Hills Road site in October 1983, as the successor to Mill Road Maternity Hospital. 

As always the unit has had a busy night and so far three babies have been born in the Birth Centre, and a further three in the Delivery Unit. 

Maria Brito, staff nurse on the neo-natal intensive care unit, told me it was intensive but rewarding work.

A year of selfies of a little girl with autism has been turned into a video by her parents., external

The film of hundreds of photos of nine-year-old Lucy Harris has been released during World Autism Awareness Week, external , to improve knowledge of the condition that affects about 700,000 people in the UK.

Lucy, from Peterborough, began demanding a selfie each night before bed, her father Terry Harris said.

"The routine became something wonderful for all us to look forward to.

"Lucy's life is filled with self-imposed routines and rituals. These help her make sense of her world," the family says in the video.

The University of Cambridge has been awarded £40m to create a "world-leading healthcare improvement research institute".

Awarded by charity The Health Foundation, it says it is making the investment "because it recognises the huge potential for research into how improvements to the quality of patient care can be made in the NHS more quickly".

A spokesperson for The Health Foundation said the institute's headquarters will be based in a set of refurbished offices on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, close to Addenbrooke's Hospital.

The space was formerly a molecular biology laboratory.

The institute anticipates it will be moving into that space in the summer.

Mary Dixon-Woods, who will lead the institute, said: "The NHS, like health systems around the world, is faced with pressing challenges of quality and safety. Yet the science of how to make improvements has remained under-developed.

"This funding is a tremendous opportunity to produce new knowledge about how to improve care, experience and outcomes for patients."

You might remember yesterday we told you about 13 rabbits taken into care after a family became "overwhelmed" by their breeding bunnies.

Well, two of those being looked after by volunteers at Fenland Animal Rescue are the cutest little balls of fluff you could imagine.

The Longstanton family thought they had two boy rabbits, but they quickly proved themselves capable of multiplying multiple times.

Two of those taken in by rescue volunteers are these little munchkins above - staff think there's one male and one female - and they're about five days' old.

Together with their mum, they're getting round-the-clock care from a fosterer.

"Their eyes will begin to open around day nine, and then the mischief truly begins," Fenland Animal Rescue's Josh Flanagan told us.

He and other volunteers are still looking for a number of other rabbits believed to have escaped from the family's garden.

Cambridge United manager Shaun Derry says his side lacked belief in their 2-0 defeat at Accrington Stanley.

It will be mostly dry and bright this afternoon with variable amounts of cloud.

A chance of rain in places, but it will be feeling pleasantly warm. It will feel fresh in any wind.

Shay McCartan fired home his fourth goal in three games to keep Accrington's slim League Two play-off hopes alive and hurt Cambridge United's.

Stanley made it 11 games unbeaten as Sean McConville and McCartan scored the vital goals to move them into 13th place, seven points off the top seven and two behind Cambridge.

Stanley took the lead in the 19th minute when Cambridge failed to clear their lines and Jordan Clark set up McConville in the area and he rifled home his sixth goal of the season.

McConville came close to a second three minutes later but, unmarked at the far post, his effort was saved by goalkeeper Will Norris.

The forthcoming Brexit negotiations will be conducted at a local level but there are a number of areas which local MPs will be closely watching. 

Top of the list, by common consent, is science and technology, for which Cambridge is an important centre.

Hi-tech firms and researchers across the region have benefitted from European investment and partnerships. While the government has promised that funding for the sector will continue, MPs also want to ensure international cooperation and shared trials can continue without disruption. 

Ease of movement is another big wish: those research companies want to be able to bring in staff from Europe and send people abroad without hassle, farmers need foreign workers to help with the harvest and care homes are worried about losing staff.

A lot of the food we grow stays in the UK but food producers still want to be able trade with Europe with few, if any barriers. Fishermen hope we'll have full control of our waters again and be able to resurrect an industry in decline. 

Ports like Felixstowe will be affected by any changes in trade tariffs, airports like Stansted and Southend will hope that the open skies policy stays in place while all our universities want to be able to continue exchanges and shared courses. 

Many MPs see Brexit as an opportunity but they all accept that getting there is likely to be a complicated process.

The second day of Nottinghamshire's match against Cambridge University gets underway at Fenner's shortly. 

The students start this morning on eight without loss, in reply to the Notts total of 339 all out. 

There were half centuries for Steven Mullaney and Greg Smith. 

Looks like there'll be a delayed start....

You may have spotted in some of the local papers this morning that two foals had to be rescued from a muddy field in Longstanton after being dumped.

Pancake (pictured above) and Poppet were discovered abandoned in a field by the RSPCA.

They described the two ponies as "hours from death".

The pair were taken to specialists at the nearby Cambridge Equine Hospital, where they've been given round-the-clock care.

Image source, RSPCA

Vikki Scott, one of the vets who treated the ponies, said: "Pancake was emaciated, extremely weak and was unable to stand or support her own weight. 

"Given her overall condition, she would have likely died in the field within 24-48 hours. 

"It was touch and go for a while, but she has gradually grown in strength and has made great progress."

Poppet, who is six-months-old, was also anaemic and in extremely poor condition due to parasites.

The RSPCA has launched an investigation.
