A report on the rise of rural crime. Following the a 13-year-old girl undergoing groundbreaking treatment at Great Ormond Street. And the plight of the turtle dove.

David Whiteley investigates the rise of rural theft. He meets a Suffolk farmer who is repeatedly robbed, losing everything from pigs to gate posts. A scheme being run by Suffolk police aims at helping. 13-year-old Shamiam from Luton was very badly burnt as a baby. It's meant she's had to wear a helmet all her life. We follow her moving story as she undergoes groundbreaking treatment at Great Ormond Street, which will allow her to have hair instead of a helmet. And Mike Dilger reports on the plight of the turtle dove. This symbol of love is facing extinction. It's hoped efforts across the east can save it.
