TRANSLATION: A woman who survived bacterial meningitis has welcomed government plans to offer vaccines to young people across the UK. The government announced one million UK teenagers would be offered vaccines to help protect them against meningitis B. Lucy Higgins suffered a stroke on Christmas Eve in 2024 at the age of 39 which was caused by bacterial meningitis. She was left partially sighted, with epilepsy and unable to walk or talk, and with epilepsy. Symptoms can develop suddenly, they can include a rash that doesn't fade when pressed with a glass, a sudden onset of high fever and a severe and worsening headache. The two-dose vaccine would be for pupils in Year 13 in England and Wales, Year 14 in Northern Ireland and S6 in Scotland, as well as those aged 18 to 25 heading to university or residential further education for the first time in the autumn. Before her stroke, Higgins was an avid netball player. RECORDING 2: Namna hedhas skol kynsa yn Kernow hy amkan sevel arghans, dhe enora dyskybel kyns, neb a veu ledhys yn Ukrayn, dre ravyans.

TRANSLATION A Cornish primary school has nearly reached its fundraising target to honour a former pupil killed in Ukraine with a sculpture. Aid worker Chris Parry was 28 when he died in 2023 while rescuing civilians from the warzone in eastern Ukraine. He had helped rescue more than 400 people before being shot by Russian mercenaries. Chris was a pupil at Kea Community Primary School near Truro and it's hoped £10,500 can be raised to install a permanent reminder of his life.Parents Rob and Christine Parry said the plans for a sculpture were "wonderful" and the concept had brought them to tears. Sculptor Ben Dearsley will work with a piece of Delabole slate that is Chris' height which has a heart at its centre.
