    One of the two people cleared of murdering a Leeds student in Italy will find out later if he'll get compensation from the Italian government. 

    Rafaelle Sollecito and Amanda Knox were jailed in 2009 for murdering Meredith Kercher, who was on exchange in Perugia. 

    Their convictions were overturned and Mr Sollecito is asking for damages for being unlawfully jailed.

    She has a very cute hedgehog in her Wildlife Orphanage at Barbly near Selby. 

    I have been to visit her sanctuary to hear about the hedgehogs she's looking after at the minute.
