  An independent report into Somerset Council's precarious financial position has identified 45 key risks - 32 of which have been given the highest risk rating. They include council reserves falling below £30m and delays to the council's restructuring programme.

The article from BBC News discusses the ongoing debate over the use of puberty blockers for transgender youth in the UK. It highlights the recent decision by NHS England to halt the routine prescription of puberty blockers to children and young people, following a review that found insufficient evidence on their safety and effectiveness. This decision has sparked a mix of reactions: some see it as a cautious approach prioritizing child welfare, while others, including transgender advocates and some medical professionals, view it as a setback for transgender healthcare. The article also touches on the broader implications, including the potential impact on mental health, the need for more research, and the political and social debates surrounding transgender issues. It notes that while the blockers are not banned, their use will now be restricted to clinical research trials, aiming to gather more robust data on their long-term effects.
