| NEXT PANORAMA - BRITAIN'S DIRTY BEACHES - TONIGHT, 7 SEPTEMBER 8.30PM ON BBC ONE
Hello there,
BRITAIN'S DIRTY BEACHES
With the last of the summer Bank Holiday weekends now behind us, this week's programme investigates beneath the sand and surf of Britain's beaches.
The quality of UK bathing water is in decline as Declan Lawn discovers as he travels the coast and sees results from scientific tests commissioned by Panorama.
Washout summers and heavy rain have put greater pressure on the UK's sewage system in the last few years, resulting in greater reliance in some areas on Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs). These are used in times of emergency to pump waste, including sewage, tampons and condoms, straight out to sea.
Britain's Dirty Beaches is tonight at 8.30pm on BBC One.
And we'd like to hear from you. Send us your stories, pictures or videos from beaches you've visited in the UK - we'll be mapping the good, the bad and the ugly based on what you send us.
BACK IN THE NEWS
Student Parvez Kambash has been freed from a prison in Afghanistan where Panorama's reporter visited him just last month.
The journalism student had been imprisoned for downloading an article on women's rights. He was first sentenced to death before having his sentence commuted to 22 years.
You can read about his release here and watch Jane Corbin's interview with Parvez on the Panorama website.
There you can also watch Jane's programme on women in Afghanistan, What Are We Fighting For?, in full.
That's all from us for now. Remember, you can keep up to date with Panorama on our website and you can e-mail us anytime at panorama@bbc.co.uk
