The deaths of at least 56 babies, and two mothers, at an NHS trust over the past five years may have been prevented, the BBC has found. The two maternity units at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals (LTH) NHS Trust are rated "good" by England's healthcare regulator, but two whistleblowers have told the BBC they believe the units are unsafe. Separate data shows Leeds has the highest neonatal mortality rate in the UK.

Sara Sharif’s teacher twice saw her at school with bruises on her face five months before she was found dead, a jury has heard. Helen Simmons told the Old Bailey that Sara said she “had fallen over on some roller-skates" after she saw her injuries in March 2023. Sara's body was found with dozens of injuries at her family home in Woking in August last year. Her father Urfan Sharif, 42, stepmother Beinash Batool, 30, and uncle Faisal Malik, 29, have denied murder. The trial continues.

A neighbour of Sara Sharif who tried to inquire about "screaming" coming from inside the 10-year-old's home had the door shut in her face, a court was told. Rebecca Spencer, who lived in a flat above the Sharif's previous family home in West Byfleet, said she had also heard "constant crying" and "banging" which on one occasion had reached "fever pitch". Ms Spencer told jurors she had gone to the address and asked if everything was OK.
