The trade union Unite has called for government guarantees that the planned nuclear power station at Moorside, near Sellafield, will be funded.

Kevin Coyne, a national officer for the union, was speaking after the company that now owns the project, Toshiba, announced £4bn losses and said its future was in doubt.

He said: "Unite renews its call to the business secretary Greg Clark to step in and pledge public investment to ensure that the project goes ahead on schedule, as Toshiba is in deep financial trouble and has a big question mark over its future." 

A spokesman for Mr Clark's department said the government was committed to new nuclear capacity.

He said Nugen had always planned to bring in other partners and Mr Clark had "visited South Korea last week for talks on future collaboration, including on civil nuclear projects."

Cumbria Police and Crime Commissioner Peter McCall says a 14-point action plan drawn up after a number of reports following the death of Barrow toddler Poppi Worthington has now been fully implemented.

Poppi died in December 2012, and although a family court judge would later say he believe she had been sexually assaulted before her death, failures in the police investigation meant the full circumstances have not been established.

In a statement at a meeting today Mr McCall said the failings had been addressed through a wide range of actions.

He said: “Cumbria Constabulary is a good force that is working hard to keep us all safe and will continue to work hard together with our communities and partners to meet the changing nature of crime.”

Six thousand years ago, these crags saw the first industry in the Lake District, the production of stone axes.

The products have been found all over Britain and Ireland, prompting some paleontologists to wonder whether the tools and the mountains where they were made had some spiritual significance.

Today they're an exciting and occasionally dangerous playground for walkers and climbers, a sort of human-sized Yosemite that is one of the iconic views of the Lake District.

More than 1,000 adults in Cumbria regularly help local groups of Scouts, Beavers or Cubs, according to figures released today.

But the waiting list has also reached an all-time high of just under 300.

The numbers of people involved, either as young members or adult leaders, has climbed by almost a third in the past decade, to 4,426.

The best-known adult scout leader is the Duchess of Cambridge, seen here on a visit to the Tower Wood scouting centre at Windermere.

The River Eden flooded the town during Storm Desmond, and then twice more - once the day after Prince Charles passed through on an earlier visit. He met a number of those who'd had to rebuild homes and businesses.

There was a reception in the Methodist church hall where the royal visitor met a number of those who'd had to carry on day-to-day business after the floods.

Later he toured Appleby Creamery, run by the company Cows and Co, sampling some of the variety of cheeses produced there.

Workington Reds will move to within a point of the Evo-Stik Premier play-off places if they win at home to Buxton tonight.

The visitors are currently in the final play-off spot, but victory for the West Cumbrians would close the gap significantly on the Midlands-based club.

The Reds also have a game in hand on their rivals.

Music fans in South Cumbria have been shocked by the sudden death of a popular Kendal performer and businessman.

Toshiba is in deep trouble partly because its subsiduary, Westinghouse, racked up huge losses on several nuclear projects in the USA.

Westinghouse was due to provide the reactors for Moorside - with the same design as those that have run into problems in America.

In today's announcement, Toshiba acknowledged it may struggle to survive the crisis.

The Prince of Wales is now touring Appleby Creamery, on the second day of his visit to Cumbria.

Police say they're worried about a Carlisle man who hasn't been seen since Friday.

As we've been telling you, Prince Charles has been in Cumbria since yesterday visiting a number of places.

He was greeted by schoolchildren in Ennerdale and while there stopped off at The Gather - a new gym, cafe and village shop formed by members of a community co-operative who came together to save their local pub from closure.

The prince also stopped off at Flimby's New Balance factory.
