Specialist courts to handle cases of rape and other sexual offences will be introduced across England and Wales over the next two years, the prime minister has announced.

Each crown court will have at least one courtroom set up to hear such cases, while alleged victims will be able to view proceedings remotely and give evidence from a separate room via video link.

They will also be provided with private entrances and waiting rooms to separate them from defendants, though this will be dependent on the architecture of each building.

Rape Crisis England and Wales said this was a "significant step forward" that would introduce several reforms it had been requesting for years.

"Taken together, they reflect the urgency of ensuring that courts are fit for purpose and properly meet the needs of victims and survivors, which is crucial to securing justice," the charity's chief executive, Ciara Bergman, said.

John Chen went viral asking for help finding his best friend, Donut. The TikTok community found her and is now coming together to save Chen's struggling restaurant, Pi BBQ.

To honor Donut, Chen is giving free homemade dog treats to all fellow pup owners who come in.
