Welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
William and Kate in Birmingham. The royal couple visit a shop attacked | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
by looters. It was the surprise of my life that | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
they have come to my shop. Silence on the streets of West | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
Bromwich in memory of the three men killed during the riots. | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
Are some of us really programmed to want to eat fatty food? | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
And we are at V Festival, the biggest in the region, where for | :00:40. | :00:50. | |
:00:50. | :00:52. | ||
some camping has turned into glamping. | :00:52. | :01:00. | |
Good evening. Tonight, Prince William's praise for Birmingham's | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
reaction to the riots. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
had a private meeting with the parents of the three men killed in | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
Winson Green, community leaders, emergency workers and city centre | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
traders, but what impact did their visit had it -- have on people | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
affected by the violence? As if on cue, the sun emerged as | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in the heart of Birmingham. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
They had come to the Summerfield Community Centre in Winson Green to | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
hear first hand the stories of those affected by the devastating | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
riots just over a week ago. They were talking about the type of | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
work we do, trying to bring calm to the streets, and they were moved by | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
the level of commitment and sacrificed by the emergency | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
services and those of us in the community who were prepared to work | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
with the police to try to restore order. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Central to the visit was a private 20 minute meeting with the families | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
of the three men who died just a short distance from here. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
The open-air funerals of Haroon Jahan, Shazad Ali and Abdul Musavir | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
took place in the city yesterday. 20,000 people turned up to pay | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
their respects. Flowers are spreading along Dudley Road, where | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
they died trying to protect property. The royal couple | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
questioned emergency services caught up in the trouble. | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
It has made such a difference to Birmingham after such a traumatic | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
week. It is great to end in the sunshine and with the royal couple | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
here. Of word spread quickly and the crowd was there to meet them at | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
the next stop, a shop in the city centre eluded -- looted in the | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
riots. It is fantastic that they have | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
taken time out to show their support. It is really nice for them | :03:01. | :03:09. | |
to be here. Customers were taken by surprise. | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
Nobody would believe this! royal couple spent just a few hours | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
in Birmingham but people told me that the impact would last much | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
longer. People were very appreciative, they | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
just wanted to speak to ordinary Brummies caught up in the rioting. | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
Are you confident that this will put a stop to any community | :03:34. | :03:43. | |
:03:44. | :03:45. | ||
tension? I am, because of the efforts people have made. At once | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
again, the second city was the focus of massive media attention | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
but this time the pictures were positive. | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
I am joined now by Ajay Bhatia, who welcomed the couple to his shop. | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
This must have been a bizarre two weeks for you. It was basically all | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
sleepless nights since this happened. After meeting the Duke | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
and Duchess of Cambridge, it is like something to cheer about. | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
Let's get back to what happened. People just entered your shop, | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
didn't they? You saw it on your CCTV footage. | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
We can see the pictures now, they were jumping over the counter. But | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
you were not there, were you? I left five minutes before this | :04:42. | :04:51. | |
happened. -- no, I left. Later I thought, everything has gone, I | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
will never be able to stand on my feet again. But the support from | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
the community around was amazing. What did they do? They came out | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
with their brooms and said, we have taken time out from the office to | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
help you with your shop. I was open within four hours. Today the Duke | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
and Duchess of Cambridge turned up. What happened? It was like the best | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
moment of my life. I never thought they would come to my shop. They | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
spoke to me about exactly what happened. There were a few light | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
moments talking about the cricket as well! You were still left with | :05:38. | :05:48. | |
:05:48. | :05:50. | ||
big problems. Does the even -- the royal visit make any difference's - | :05:50. | :05:58. | |
- difference? You have to pay your rent and I have two children in | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
education. The insurance company should have priority. The big | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
stores can afford the losses but, being a family business, a day-to- | :06:11. | :06:20. | |
day business, the cash flow stops. So very, very hard but a great day | :06:20. | :06:28. | |
today? It was a great day. We wish you luck with your business. | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
An hour before the Duke and Duchess arrived, traders in West Bromwich | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
held a two minute silence in memory of the three men who died in Winson | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
Green. On the stroke of 11 traders and | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
shoppers stood quietly as the community came together to pay | :06:42. | :06:52. | |
:06:52. | :06:55. | ||
their respects. With more than 70 traders, it is a | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
bustling market and in times of recession and the pattern is | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
important. Even so, stallholder has asked police and the Council for a | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
two minute silence for the three men mown down in Winson Green. | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
I am delighted there has been a spontaneous response to something | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
which has touched all of our hearts. People are showing how important it | :07:22. | :07:32. | |
:07:32. | :07:34. | ||
is to be together. And so they stood in silent tribute. | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
Just down the road, the wife of an Indian sweet shop owner holding | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
court. He was out looking for the van stolen by the rioters. Some say | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
that tensions are still high because of desperate poverty. | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
Young people do not have enough jobs. To live in society now you | :07:57. | :08:05. | |
have to get 26 grand a year or more. There are no 26 grand jobs. People | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
were taken aback by what happened up the road, with the riots, but I | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
think we are getting back to normal. People are scared to come to West | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
Bromwich but everything is getting to be OK again. | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
The hope is that the silence will have drawn a line under the events | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
of last week and that life and trade in West Bromwich can get back | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
to normal. Let's give you the latest | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
investigation from West Midlands Police on their investigation into | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
the riots. We say the more than 500 people have been arrested and 141 | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
have been charged. Their website has had 800,000 hits in August and | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
a special e-mail address has received more than 800 messages. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
You are with Midlands Today. Still to come... | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
Warnings to pregnant women about how to protect babies from a | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
Victorian bone disease. Football banning orders totalling | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
nearly 200 years have been handed down to hooligans who fought with | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
police after their team was relegated out of the Football | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
League. It follows a five-month | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
investigation into trouble which fled at Burton Albion. Liz Copper | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
was in court. These were the scenes after the | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
final whistle at Burton Albion's match against Grimsby Town last May. | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
Burton's 3-0 win meant that Grimsby were relegated. Fans invaded the | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
pitch, ribbed top advertising hoardings and attacked police and | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
match stewards. These people were not football fans. | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
The real Grimsby fans were appalled and shocked by their behaviour. You | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
are talking about grown men, not youngsters. They had been drinking | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
since the early morning. 49 Grimsby fans have been | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
prosecuted. Sentenced today was 42- year-old Stephen Pexman, jailed for | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
20 months after admitting violent disorder. Matthew Jones, a former | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
soldier, received 18 months. Shane Wallace, on the far left, and | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
Andrew Blackett, in the centre, were imprisoned for 18 and 20 | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
months respectively. All received football banning order it -- orders. | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
But police had to trawl through hours of CCTV footage. | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
It was very frightening for the families and the members of the | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
club. One witness was a steward for Grimsby who said it was the worst | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
act of violence he had seen. The judge said what he had seen | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
showed ugliness, yob that -- Yori and thuggery. He said compared to | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
everyday life the football match was a minor affair but does he | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
jailed had behind it -- behaved as if they were part of a national | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
disaster. He said the game of football would suffer because of | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
their actions. Five men have been arrested after a | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
gun was fired in Stoke-on-Trent. Police were called to Stream in | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
Dresden after midnight. Two men were taken to University Hospital | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
of North Staffordshire and treated for minor injuries. Both have since | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
been discharged. We don't have things like this | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
happen every day and it is a rare occurrence. I want to assure the | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
community of Stoke-on-Trent but that is the case. We are out in | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
number for people to speak to. If you are overweight or have | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
diabetes, your doctor may ask you to watch what you eat. But doctors | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
say a restrictive diet may alter how your brain response to food. | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
These changes may make it harder to follow a healthy diet. | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
These are pictures from a university of Birmingham experiment | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
aiming to answer the question, why do some people find it so hard to | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
stick to a healthy diet? Why do people find it hard to | :12:09. | :12:19. | |
change their way of life and others find it restrictive? They feel | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
deprived of many things. Cakes and biscuits and hamburgers. | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
The researchers scanned do brains of obese people, some with diabetes, | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
as they looked at images of food, and it turned out that those with | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
diabetes had brains with very different responses to those | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
pictures. Patients who have higher activation | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
in brain areas are involved in emotion. Those people had | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
difficulty controlling their diet. The thinking is, it is the | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
restrictive diet that people with diabetes have to follow that is | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
causing these differences. Ironically, these differences are | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
one reason it is harder for these people to follow a restrictive diet. | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
It is also possible that obese people effectively trained their | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
brains to respond more strongly to fatty food. | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
If you have been used to eating a lot of fatty food and you are | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
accustomed to that, it will be more difficult to change your life | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
around and make lifestyle changes to reduce the amount of fat and | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
follow a healthy diet. To understand what is going on we | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
need more research but it is very real, it seems. The scientist even | :13:41. | :13:51. | |
:13:51. | :13:52. | ||
found that, the fattier the food, The scientists are particularly | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
keen to talk to teenagers, help the wide-awake, all of type 2 diabetes. | :13:58. | :14:07. | |
You can find out more and our blog. You get to take home in a imager | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
your brain, not too many people can say that. | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
Thanks for joining us. Still ahead, if darker clouds | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
covering -- gut dark clouds gathering over Coventry City. I'll | :14:26. | :14:35. | |
have all of the weekend's where there. -- all have been weekend's | :14:35. | :14:43. | |
weather. There are calls for the NHS to consider checking pregnant | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
women are to protect babies from the Victorian disease rickets. | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
It follows a study in inner-city Birmingham which found almost one | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
in two Asian women were vitamin D are deficient. Rickets was | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
associated with the Victoria my era, and 1930s depression. | :15:08. | :15:16. | |
In children it is almost always synonymous with bent legs. Doctors | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
tested 200 pork pregnant women and found that almost half were | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
deficient with the -- efficient in vitamin D. There were higher levels | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
in deficiency in some ethnic groups. In African and Caribbean are women | :15:30. | :15:40. | |
we found to a deficiency in over 60 % of the people we studied. That | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
has to do with a number of back tears, skin pigmentation, how much | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
light your skin sees, and whether you are taking supplements. | :15:50. | :15:58. | |
This doctor, Dr Helen Grindulis, says she sees a lot of women with | :15:58. | :16:07. | |
deficiencies. A few recent Casey's, with had an infant with a delay, | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
about nine months old, they had a deficiency. We have had a young | :16:12. | :16:21. | |
baby, a few weeks old, who had the seizures duty vitamin D deficiency. | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
The Department of Health advises groups of women to take vitamin | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
pills. Doctors say the best source of vitamin D he is sunlight. You | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
can also get it by eating it aches and oily fish, also by taking | :16:37. | :16:47. | |
:16:47. | :16:47. | ||
supplements. -- a gas. It seems more than anything the great | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
outdoors can also help prevent a disease associated with a bygone | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
era. The Department of Health is | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
reviewing the evidence on this, there is more about it on our | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
Facebook page. The owners of Coventry City have | :17:05. | :17:12. | |
met with a party interested with a possible hate -- possible takeover. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
The club have had their worst start to a season for 43 years. They have | :17:16. | :17:25. | |
been out of the Premier League almost 10 years. | :17:25. | :17:32. | |
The right-footed free-kick go is in. Let the City had scored full stop | :17:32. | :17:42. | |
:17:42. | :17:42. | ||
the header hit the post, it has gone in! Face lot in the rebound! | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
It has been a dreadful start to the season but Coventry City, they have | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
lost all three games in the Championship, and they out of the | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
Carling Cup. They have had the use of 317 year- | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
old players last week. You might expect the mood to be down in the | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
training ground, but it is not according to the manager. We are | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
disappointed of course, we have not got what we wanted for our | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
performances. If we keep doing the right things it will come. Geoff | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
Foster watches all of their games for BBC Warwickshire, he says that | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
the manager has their hands tied -- has his hands tied until they have | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
a takeover. The fans want to see some more | :18:27. | :18:35. | |
investments. They want to see it taken over. The club is �30 million | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
in debt, if they cannot turn it around a they lose half million | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
pounds a month. They met potential at best it -- potential investors, | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
but the meeting ended badly. They said that no formal offer was put | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
on the table. The previous offer of �1 was totally unacceptable. What | :19:00. | :19:08. | |
now after an increasingly desperate start to the season? Dan and joins | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
us now, are there any sign of improvement. | :19:14. | :19:23. | |
-- any signs in prevent? Not really come -- not really, unless they can | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
get new investment the team will not improve. It is bad times. They | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
have lost a free of their best players, Ciaran Westwood, Aron | :19:35. | :19:44. | |
Gunnarsson, and striker Marlon King. They are playing pretty well, not | :19:44. | :19:51. | |
having the rub of the green. The fans must be feeling miserable? In | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
some ways, they are kind that used to it. It has gone so far, they | :19:57. | :20:05. | |
have had enough. There are talk about process staying at tomorrow's | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
game -- there is talk about protesting after tomorrow's game. | :20:11. | :20:19. | |
The fans might stand up. They are not happy. Thank you very much. | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
can see the look -- the best coverage will be on BBC local radio. | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
Meanwhile England's cricketers are continuing to dominate against | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
India. Ian Bell scored 174, England scored | :20:36. | :20:46. | |
:20:46. | :20:49. | ||
473 - 2. He was watched by a fellow Aston Villa than, David Cameron. | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
Thousands of music fans have been causing gridlock. It is the start | :20:54. | :21:03. | |
and V Festival it in Staffordshire. The Acts do not take to stage until | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
tomorrow. Ben is alive at the campsite. It is worse than | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
expected? It has been tough for some. He took us four hours to get | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
here from Birmingham. There are 85,000 people each day going to be | :21:21. | :21:30. | |
watching Act here. -- watching it ats here. They are crowding into | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
Weston Park. There is a lot of traffic, delays, it will be | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
worthwhile when you see the acts you are playing. If you think of a | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
music festival this is probably what you imagine. | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
At the be best the bulk they are offering accommodation with a bit | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
of style. These pop up hotel rooms from a company based in Chipping | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
Norton, come with dressing-gowns, a power shower and air-conditioning. | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
The cost of staying here is �2,600. It is not going to appeal to | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
everybody, not everyone can afford it, thankfully there are people who | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
want the kind of luxury that we can offer. We can give them an | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
additional option. It is known as "glamping", it is not cheap. A lot | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
of other options can set you back as much as �1,000 for the weekend. | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
Some people are willing to pay. It is much more enjoyable. It is worth | :22:35. | :22:44. | |
it. You have to spend money on experiences. If you are going to do | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
it in style, you might as well include all of the trimmings. | :22:48. | :22:54. | |

massage, and a haircut. For many people it has taken them one-hour | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
to carry in their suppliers and set up camp. We are going to have a | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
great time. For them to spend 10 times as much as we are, I just do | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
not think it is worth it. A lot of the festival experience is about | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
getting the sunshine. You get the atmosphere. Everyone can be | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
together and setting up means a good at must bear. The last minute | :23:28. | :23:32. | |

looking considerably drier. Tonight is increasingly cloudy. It should | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
stay dry. We are looking at quite mild pillows, we could see 15 | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
degrees in Shrewsbury. Going into tomorrow, a dry and bright start to | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
the day, once again increasingly cloudy, we see some rain pushing | :26:17. | :26:26. | |
its way in, too. The rate will start to pour in the north. It will | :26:26. | :26:33. | |
