Here's a summary of the main stories we're covering this lunchtime
Vanessa Coates has been talking about returning to the farmhouse which was badly damaged in a fire nine weeks ago.
She said: "I'm afraid you can still smell the smoke quite badly. Rather fruitlessly I've been trying to open windows, open doors, trying to get rid of the smell, but the smell doesn't seem to want to go as yet.
"So it's a case of constant reminder, but we've manged to salvage some things, so it's now a semi-empty shell ready for the next stage hopefully."

What does the future hold for staff made redundant at Courtaulds in Belper?
Quote MessageAn early stage meeting, so what's coming out of it is unknown at the minute. But it's to help and support the people who've been made redundant in this unfortunate situation, through no fault of their own, so it's what can be done to help and support."

So will the residents who want a waste site near their homes shut down following a fly infestation get their wish?
Steve Prophet, from the Environment Agency, says they have the power to close a site, but said the priority is to see who's been responsible for the problem.
He said: "Those people providing this company [Shows Waste Management] with waste have responsibility, they have a duty of care to give their waste to appropriate people. They've clearly not exercised that, so there's a broader web of our investigation."
