Can King Charles heal the rift between the UK and the US? The King and Queen arrive in America today. And the state visit will be about "renewing and revitalising a unique friendship", according to the UK's ambassador, Sir Christian Turner. Despite the shooting incident in Washington DC at the weekend, at an event attended by President Trump, the trip is going ahead largely as planned. How is your health? The Health Foundation say healthy life expectancy in the UK has dropped by about 2 years. Their data suggests that over the last few decades, healthy life expectancy in the UK fell to 60.7 years for males and 60.9 years for females. And deep inequalities in healthy life expectancy between affluent and deprived areas have widened during this period. And have you ever been part of a world record attempt? The racing car ‘Babs’ broke the world land speed record at Pendine Sands in Carmarthenshire a hundred years ago. J G Parry Thomas recorded speeds of up to 171 miles an hour in his custom-built car. And ‘Babs’ returns to the Carmarthenshire beach today to mark the event's centenary. Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110 or Text 8 10 12. Be part of the nation's conversation.
