BBC News Channel, but now on BBC One, it's time for the news where | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
you are. Good evening. A serious case review | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
has concluded that army doctors and social workers could have prevented | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
the death of a baby girl at the hands of her father, Liam | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Culverhouse. He was a former soldier with post`traumatic stress disorder | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
and told army doctors he was likely to harm a child. But the information | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
wasn't passed on to other agencies. Liam Culverhouse, a former soldier | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
sentenced to six years for causing the death of his baby daughter. He | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
described `` was described as a pilot and troubled man, indicators | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
we were told that should have concerned professionals about the | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
safety of the child. I would have liked a check on the father and his | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
back ground. Why would we have had concerns? Because he was a man | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
suffering from injuries he received in the service of his country. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
Blinded by a bullet, his troubles worsened because of his injuries, | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
the report said. He was one of six soldiers wounded by a roadside bomb. | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
Five were killed. He told Army doctors it was likely he would harm | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
a child if left alone together but that information, the review found, | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
was not shared with children's social cared nor the Army welfare | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
service. We take seriously the obligation to our people and the | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
children of service people. We have learned lessons from this tragic | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
case. We have taken action. We were told that professionals need to be | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
more nosy about domestic relationships. Liam Culverhouse s | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
relationship was on and off and there was evidence of domestic | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
abuse. The army supported him as an independent injured soldier. Health | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
professionals treated his partner as a single mother and child. Lessons | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
will be learned and acted on, agencies have said. A soldier who | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
came home from bloody combat only to inflict terrible injuries on his own | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
baby daughter. Earlier, I spoke to Mark Sewart, a retired Squadron | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Leader, who is now working as a lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
and who is an expert in post`traumatic stress disorder. I | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
began by asking him about the condition. It varies from person to | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
person but some of the classic features of what we call in the | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
trade experiencing phenomenal and, such as flashbacks, during which the | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
individual can believe they are back where they were originally | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
traumatised. Not everybody with the condition will carry out a violent | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
act, like Liam Culverhouse, how difficult is it to spot the signs | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
when something is escalating? With this condition it depends to a | :03:14. | :03:22. | |
degree on the individual approaching services to help. He said he had | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
concerns about being left alone with his daughter and Army doctors failed | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
to tell agencies. How common is it for military personnel to fall | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
through the gaps? Once they have been discharged it is incumbent upon | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
them and the National Health Service to identify their care needs | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
straightaway and move towards getting as much information as | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
possible from the Ministry of defence. That process is aborted by | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
defence services and the Ministry of defence, but clearly it needs to | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
improve further. It often takes an extreme case to make changes in the | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
system. The case review has urged changes are made and military | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
personnel, Army doctors, communicate better with the NHS. Do you think it | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
will happen? Yes, it is already in place, even before I left the Armed | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
Forces. Safeguarding training was commonplace and mandatory. Everybody | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
was engaged in raising their game in communicating with civilian | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
colleagues. Thanks for joining me. Parents fighting to save a network | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
of children's centres across Peterborough have had their final | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
attempt to save them rejected by the council. The decision was made at a | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
meeting earlier this evening. There are 15 Sure Start centres in | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Peterborough. But under the plans, that would change to four super`hubs | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
and three outreach centres, saving the City Council just over ?1 | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
million. A final decision will be made next week. Emma Baugh reports. | :04:54. | :05:02. | |
Make or break for the city's children's centres, an extraordinary | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
meeting to decide their future. We are hopeful. We hope the Cabinet and | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
Council listen and discuss this properly at the meeting today and go | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
through the figures presented to them. The meeting comes after months | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
of campaigning, with people across the city asking the council to think | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
again. Campaigners who have fought to save the centres say they offer | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
families vital support at a crucial time at the council said originally | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
they were set up in areas seen as deprived and gradually expanded as | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
they became more popular but they say because they need to make cuts, | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
they are having to redirect resources. Tonight, the council | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
rejected calls to save the centres by changing the budget, by 26 votes | :05:51. | :05:59. | |
to 23. We will continue to deliver children's services across | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
Peterborough but they will have to be delivered differently because of | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
the situation we find ourselves in. We realise they need to make cuts, | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
but it is about where they need to make cuts. They are cutting the most | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
important services for the people of Peterborough. A final decision will | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
be made as part of the budget next week. Campaigners say they will | :06:22. | :06:31. | |
fight on. News just in. Six fire crews have been called to a major | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
incident in Northampton. A fire in the Queen's Park area of the town | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
has already caused two gas cylinders to explode. The alarm was raised | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
just over an hour ago at JPS Commercial in Horsley Road. | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
Neighbours are being advised to keep their doors and windows closed. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
That's all from the late team. The weather now with Alex Dolan. | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
That's all from the late team. The Good evening, a weather front is | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
going to bring rain later tonight. Temperatures should not drop too | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
much lower than five degrees. The weather front will turn the sky is | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
clarity with heavy pulses of rain into the early hours. There will be | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
a blustery wind and we will wake up to different conditions tomorrow. | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
Outbreaks of rain first thing should clear quickly. There will be | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
sunshine and showers, and some of the showers will be on the heavy | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
side in the afternoon. There will be a blustery westerly wind which will | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
help to blow the showers through in the afternoon. In a moment, | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
day on Friday, wet snow around and a breeze blowing as well. Tricky into | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
the weekend. And now we have the national forecast. | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
Good evening. We know it has been a wet winter but it has also been mild | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
and across England and Wales, lacking in snow. The last day of the | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
season which we measure on Friday, might provide a bit of it. Friday's | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
weather is coming from the small area of low pressure. These tiny | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
low-pressure systems are difficult to track and a subtle change in | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
position could have a big impact. Tonight we have more | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
straightforward, a weather front spreading out rakes of rain across | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
most areas. Turning windy as well. The rain will be heavy but will move | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
through quickly because of the strength of the wind and it will be | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
a mild night for most. The rain is lingering across Scotland and | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
eastern England for the morning It will continue to be pushed into the | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
North Sea but it may take most of the morning before it clears away. | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
Following behind, brighter skies, sunny spells but more showers than | :08:38. | :08:38. |
