What’s the most polluted place to swim in the UK? A new map shows which rivers and seas contain the most sewage around the country. The map was created by scientists at UCL - and it’s live - so you can check when the most recent sewage spill happened in your local area. Last year activists wanted an ‘environmental emergency' to be declared - after research showed three quarters of all UK rivers pose a serious risk to human health. Now, the government wants water companies to pay for the damage they caused, but there's a catch - the money is going to come from our water bills going up. Founder of Windrush Against Sewage, Ash Smith, tells us the "privatised water industry is milking the bill-payer".
