But there are also huge gulfs elsewhere - including Manchester, where children can expect to live a decade less in good health than in nearby Cheshire. The figures were compiled by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) using data from the most recent census covering 2010-12.

'Striking workers could cost me my job': Tempers fray as RMT walkout and a broken down train cause 'perfect storm' for desperate Southern rail commuters trying to get into London
Railway staff and union members faced angry backlash from passengers this morning as scenes of chaos caused tempers to flare. Widespread cancellations, delayed engineering work and a broken down train led to a 'perfect storm' on the first day of a planned three day strike by rail staff. Hundreds of passengers crammed into stations across the south desperate to make the commute to London. In Brighton (pictured top and left) frustrated passengers attempted to storm barriers desperate to get place on the occasional train that was running to London. In East Croydon (right) commuters were left standing on packed platforms for hours as they waited for their trains.

Look familiar? Chinese wave power device is suspiciously similar to a Scottish machine made at factory where laptops were stolen after visit by Beijing officials five years ago
The unveiling of a Chinese wave power (below) device has prompted suspicion of foul play after it appeared strikingly similar to a model produced at a Scottish factory (above) which fell victim to an unsolved burglary. The Chinese government visited a Scottish renewable energy manufacturer in 2011 after expressing an interest in their innovative new prototype product which used ocean waves to create electricity. Two months later, the plant suffered a burglary where laptops were stolen after the culprits scaled a perimeter fence. But suspicions were aroused when the burglar or burglars headed straight for the first floor office of Pelamis Wave Power, neglecting to take anything from the ground floor office of tech giant Siemens, according to reports.

Heartbreaking pictures show a couple cradling their stillborn daughter who died after a midwife told her mother to go home and take paracetamol despite her excruciating pain
Angela Owens, from Warrington, Cheshire, had been rushed into Warrington Hospital after developing severe pains on a shopping trip. But despite Mrs Owens raising concerns about her unborn baby girl's welfare, a midwife who examined her recommended she be discharged. The mother-of-two refused to leave and was moved to a birthing pool to await labour - only for tests to subsequently reveal the child had no heartbeat. The infant - named Ella - was tragically stillborn, leaving Mrs Owens and partner Paul Humphreys, 31, with a few hours to build memories of the youngster in photos (shown left and right). Today it emerged Mrs Owens had been awarded an undisclosed sum of damages from Warrington Hospital (inset) following the tragedy shortly before Christmas 2013.

'If I don't change, I'll be in one of these caskets': Terrified Philippine drug dealers enter rehab program where they build coffins for the thousands killed in Duterte's war on narcotics
More than 700,000 drug users and pushers have registered with the authorities in the Philippines and to warn them off taking drugs again, they have been trained to make coffins. Authorities hope that with the users seeing the coffins being made, it will encourage them to kick their habit and not become a victim of the war on drugs. Since new Philippines president Duterte was sworn into office on June 30, more than 3,600 people have been killed, mostly alleged drug users and dealers, in police operations and suspected vigilante killings.
