This Morning star 'battling on' after suffering painful injury in accident
This Morning star Dr. Hussain Al-Zubaidi has revealed that he's been the one needing treatment after falling off his bike. The ITV contributor stopped by the show to chat to Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard about Mounjaro's availability on the NHS, however the presenters first asked him about the sling he was sporting.
"What have you done, Dr. Hussain?" Cat asked the doctor, who replied: "I fell off my bike. I fractured my clavicle but it's alright, it's alright." He added: "I'm battling on."
Dr. Hussain took to Instagram at the weekend to open up about his injury, revealing that he ended up in Warwick's Accident and Emergency department after the fall.
"Well today did not go to plan. An early ride ended with my shoulder eating tarmac, broken clavicle and next weekends world champs redemption over," he wrote alongside a photo of him pouting with his arm in a sling.
"Staying positive and controlling what I can. Thank you to Warwick a&e for being amazing and great to have friends looking after me."
Shortly afterwards he posted a second photo of his bruises and injuries. "A massive thank you to all the lovely messages and kind support. I don't take it for granted," he wrote in the caption.
"The numerous phone calls with friends has really helped shift my mood. Sure I'm upset I can't compete at next weekends world champs but life is long and you don't always get what you want.
"I will come back stronger. I can get a lot of work done! I can catch up with friends. Training now focuses on rehab. Need to find some more hobbies to fill up the time void! Any ideas?! #rehab."

Ronseal shared its guide to removing, fixing and preventing mould infestations. You should only remove mould if it's caused by condensation and covers an area smaller than one metre squared. If the mould is caused by sewage or contaminated water, call in a professional. Before you start, wear goggles, long rubber gloves and a mask that covers your nose and mouth to protect you from the mould spores. Open the windows for added ventilation but keep the doors shut to avoid spores spreading. How to remove mould from walls: Fill a bucket with water and mild detergent like washing up liquid. Or use a dedicated mould remover to make quick work of it. Dip a cloth in water and wipe the mould off the wall. Don't brush it as this can release mould spores. Once you've removed the mould, use a dry rag to remove the rest of the moisture. Throw away the cloth and vacuum the room to make sure you've removed all of the spores. How to paint over mould: Never ever paint over mould without killing it first. It won't tackle the source of the problem and will make it look worse. Once you've treated the affected area, use a specialist anti-mould paint to finish the job. Damp stains can be painted over with a suitable paint like Ronseal's 6 Year Anti Mould Paint, so long as the damp has dried and the source has been treated. Some damp sealants can be applied directly onto a wet surface, so check the instructions before you begin.

The Guardian view on maternity care failings: Wes Streeting's new inquiry must learn from past mistakes, not repeat them
The announcement of a new inquiry into maternity care failures in England, including the shockingly higher risk of mortality faced by black and Asian mothers, indicates an overdue recognition that improvements are needed. From the devastating 2015 review of a decade of failure at Morecambe Bay, to last year's birth trauma report from MPs, there is no shortage of evidence that women face unacceptable risks when giving birth on the NHS. The question is whether a review chaired by Wes Streeting himself can achieve what previous ones have not. His role as chair is not the only novel aspect of this inquiry. A panel including bereaved parents will share their experiences and knowledge, alongside expert evidence. This format should focus minds on the human consequences of systemic failures, including mother and baby deaths, and on the need for accountability when things go wrong. But while the ultimate goal is a 'national set of actions', there is no getting away from local variations. Part of the impetus behind this review comes from campaigners in Sussex and other areas where maternity services are currently causing serious concerns. Ten of these will now be scrutinised in the inquiry's first stage. Past inquiries have generally pointed to a combination of resource and cultural factors, including poor leadership, in seeking to explain why and how things have gone wrong. Such findings have not been limited to the hospitals themselves, and have included regulators. But the reality is always complex and not reducible to soundbites. For example, poor relationships and communication between nurses and doctors are known to cause problems in maternity settings. Where such conflicts have been uncovered, they have generally had an ideological aspect, relating to differing attitudes to vaginal versus caesarean deliveries. But they can also be connected to wider questions about the level of skill and investment in the workforce. In his seminal review of care failures in Mid Staffordshire, Sir Robert Francis asked the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to examine the evidence about staffing ratios and patient safety, and to make recommendations. But in 2015, as Prof Anne Marie Rafferty and Prof Alison Leary noted in an article on that report's legacy, this work was suspended. They believe this decision was motivated by the Conservative government's anxiety about potential cost implications. Mr Streeting says he is horrified by what he has heard about maternity care failures, particularly the lack of compassion shown to families after life-changing losses. Hence his decision to make this issue a 'litmus test' for the government. But raising standards in the context of tight funding settlements, high levels of unmet need and ongoing staffing difficulties will be an enormous challenge. Judge-led public inquiries should not be the only means for people who have been failed by the state to seek redress. Mr Streeting's maternity review looks like a worthwhile attempt at developing an alternative – and he deserves praise for explaining this. With a pledge to present findings at the end of the year, he hopes to avoid one of the flaws with inquiries – that they take too long. The problem of how to deliver the accountability that affected people want is more intractable. Hardest of all, judging from past experience, is turning the findings of such inquiries into viable plans for real service improvements.
