Hello and welcome to Midlands Today with Nick Owen and Suzanne Virdee.

:00:04.:00:07.

The headlines tonight: Failed at every turn, why did three hospitals

:00:07.:00:16.

fail to diagnose a teenager's TB which then killed her? All of their

:00:16.:00:22.

commissions were devastated by the fact they had not made the

:00:22.:00:27.

diagnosis of. Hundreds in the queue, symbol of the desperate scramble

:00:27.:00:31.

for jobs in the region. Ten years on, a son remembers the

:00:31.:00:38.

father who died on 9/11. A this is the 10th anniversary and for me it

:00:38.:00:48.
:00:48.:00:49.

is very much the time to draw a line.

:00:49.:00:52.

And up close and personal, as the rugby world cup sends passions

:00:52.:01:02.
:01:02.:01:03.

Good evening and welcome to Friday's Midlands Today from the

:01:03.:01:10.

BBC. Tonight, the parents of a teenage girl who died from

:01:10.:01:13.

tuberculosis say she was failed at every turn by doctors. They took

:01:13.:01:16.

15-year-old Alina Sarag to three hospitals and all failed to

:01:16.:01:19.

diagnose her. The BBC can reveal that one

:01:19.:01:22.

hospital didn't identify TB from an X-ray and cancelled a simple test

:01:22.:01:26.

which could have shown the disease. Our health correspondent, Michele

:01:26.:01:33.

Paduano, has this exclusive report. Alina Sarag died earlier this year

:01:33.:01:36.

from TB, having been in constant agony for four months. Her parents

:01:36.:01:44.

tried desperately to find out what was wrong. Appalling, disgusting.

:01:44.:01:48.

There was no response for anything, even though we were telling them

:01:48.:01:53.

that she was vomiting. She was eating something, she would eat a

:01:53.:01:57.

great, chivvied into six pieces. Within a minute, they would come

:01:57.:02:04.

back. It was at this school during 2009, but she was diagnosed with

:02:04.:02:08.

dormant tuberculosis. She was treated with antibiotics but none

:02:08.:02:13.

of the stick -- an independent investigation found they had not

:02:13.:02:23.
:02:23.:02:24.

The trust which runs the clinic said, we have completed an internal

:02:24.:02:26.

investigation into the care provided to Alina Sarag by

:02:26.:02:29.

Birmingham Chest Clinic and an action plan has been developed with

:02:29.:02:32.

our clinicians. A year later after a holiday in Pakistan, Alina became

:02:32.:02:34.

ill. First she was taken to Heartlands Hospital. It found

:02:34.:02:37.

nothing wrong. She went to Birmingham Children's Hospital. It

:02:37.:02:40.

queried typhoid or an infestation. Then the family took her to City

:02:40.:02:43.

and Sandwell hospitals where her best chance was lost. So why to

:02:43.:02:47.

different hospitals? We took her to different hospitals because we were

:02:47.:02:55.

hoping that somebody would pick up what was wrong with her. We thought

:02:55.:03:01.

maybe a better Dr would pick up what was wrong with her. We were

:03:01.:03:07.

failed at every turn. She was brought here to the accident and

:03:07.:03:10.

emergency where a junior doctor did carry out a thorough investigation.

:03:10.:03:20.
:03:20.:03:24.

He advised a test on her flam up but was overruled. -- phlegm.

:03:24.:03:26.

Radiologist, who examined the x-ray thought TB unlikely. A radiologist

:03:26.:03:31.

who examined the X-ray for the review thought it was TB. The

:03:31.:03:34.

hospitals medical director admits that there were mistakes with Miss

:03:34.:03:36.

Sarag's care, but not in the hospital's systems. He insisted

:03:36.:03:39.

that not diagnosing TB from the X- ray was reasonable and

:03:39.:03:48.

understandable. The recommendation was to see how she goes. If it was

:03:49.:03:52.

still an issue, we would have repeated the X-ray further down the

:03:52.:03:58.

line and think about further tests. Finally, Birmingham children's

:03:58.:04:04.

Hospital decided it was all in her head. Alina Sarag was sent to a

:04:04.:04:10.

psychologist, but was too ill for the assessment. She died on the day

:04:10.:04:16.

she was due to go back. Michele is here in the studio now.

:04:16.:04:20.

Michele, we know TB is on the rise again, but this case suggests the

:04:20.:04:23.

health service hasn't got a firm grasp of the issue, doesn't it?

:04:23.:04:27.

This is only one case and TB is difficult to diagnose. I feel sorry

:04:27.:04:32.

for the hospital because at least they considered the possibility.

:04:32.:04:34.

Heartlands hospital knew the history but did not do a chest X-

:04:34.:04:39.

ray. The Children's Hospital had two opportunities and didn't even

:04:39.:04:44.

consider it. Jacky Chambers things they do need to raise awareness.

:04:44.:04:49.

think everyone needs to be aware that tuberculosis is still around

:04:49.:04:53.

in the city. It is very important that we educate all of our doctors,

:04:54.:04:59.

both family and hospital doctors, to be conscious and alert for the

:04:59.:05:03.

symptoms and signs of tuberculosis, particularly the more unusual forms.

:05:03.:05:09.

That is what we are taking forward right now. She also wants to be

:05:09.:05:13.

able to flag up these potential cases between different hospitals.

:05:13.:05:18.

I'm afraid as far as the inquest is concerned, we will have to wait

:05:18.:05:24.

until next year. Still ahead tonight: what needs to be done to

:05:24.:05:27.

ensure the business jewel in Birmingham's crown shines even

:05:27.:05:37.
:05:37.:05:37.

A graphic illustration of unemployment rates in the region

:05:37.:05:41.

was there for all to see in the Black Country today, as more than

:05:41.:05:45.

1,500 people chased 500 jobs. Huge queues snaked all around a

:05:45.:05:48.

college campus in Bilston in the scramble for the posts. Joanne

:05:48.:05:51.

Writtle reports. This was the scene outside the City of Wolverhampton

:05:51.:05:55.

College as people queued around the building at a jobs fair. Among them

:05:55.:05:58.

three women made redundant yesterday when the supermarket they

:05:58.:06:03.

worked in closed down in Willenhall. Joanne Cook had clocked up 33 years

:06:03.:06:12.

service. I feel numb at the minute. It has not sunk in. On Monday

:06:12.:06:21.

morning, one I'm getting up for work, and will realise 10th lost --

:06:21.:06:26.

I will realise that that point. Thomas Whyte was made redundant in

:06:26.:06:29.

March. He's 61 and was a carpenter and repair team leader for a

:06:29.:06:33.

housing trust for 15 years. It is hard for my generation. If my wife

:06:33.:06:38.

was not in work, we would be in a desperate situation and might even

:06:38.:06:44.

lose our house. Inside, organisers and employers saw a non-stop stream

:06:44.:06:51.

of people. More than Hampton -- Wolverhampton is a place where

:06:51.:06:55.

people are keen to take positive actions to get back into were.

:06:55.:06:59.

is the scale of people looking for work and there are still more

:06:59.:07:05.

queuing outside. 25 employers are here with a potential 500 temporary

:07:05.:07:11.

and permanent jobs on offer. Thomas, from Wednesfield, tried to sell his

:07:11.:07:17.

skills to everyone. I am feeling this could be an opening for me. I

:07:17.:07:21.

would like to get my foot in the door. Meanwhile, the redundant shop

:07:21.:07:23.

workers we saw earlier were optimistic about interviews with

:07:23.:07:31.

other stores. You will hear from me this evening, OK, so you can come

:07:31.:07:37.

in for us. Good luck with your application. As for Thomas...

:07:37.:07:42.

are a number of companies who are asking me to apply and some have

:07:42.:07:46.

promised me an interview. This is 1000 % better than the response

:07:46.:07:54.

I've been getting for the last six months. I've got a couple of weeks

:07:54.:07:58.

left to find so thing. Hours after opening, people were still arriving

:07:58.:08:08.
:08:08.:08:10.

to queue. Walsall council has accidentally

:08:10.:08:14.

dumped personal details in his kit. Hundreds of documents were found.

:08:14.:08:18.

The statements were thrown away by a contractor on the council's

:08:18.:08:22.

behalf. Plans for a train station at the

:08:22.:08:32.
:08:32.:08:34.

Rico arena and a major upgrade of their line have moved a step closer.

:08:34.:08:40.

-- Ricoh. On Sunday, millions will remember a

:08:40.:08:43.

day that shook the world, September 11th 2001 when terrorists flew two

:08:43.:08:45.

planes into New York's Twin Towers. Memorial events are taking place,

:08:45.:08:51.

and prayers will be said at church services across the West Midlands.

:08:52.:08:54.

In this special report, Ben Godfrey's been to meet people from

:08:54.:08:56.

our region whose lives fundamentally changed on that

:08:56.:09:06.
:09:06.:09:15.

On September the 11th 2001, New Yorkers greeted a cool, cloudless

:09:15.:09:20.

morning. But a tragedy was about to unfold as people from the Midlands

:09:20.:09:29.

were heading into work at the World Trade Centre. The sky turned black

:09:29.:09:36.

and the degree, you could see... We were inside at that time. Andrew

Philpott from Worcester was helping to launch the American arm of an IT

:09:39.:09:42.

business. He was eating breakfast in the north tower when the first

:09:43.:09:45.

hijacked plane struck. This hotel room card, a chilling reminder that

the corner of Broadway and another street, 1000 yards from the World

:10:21.:10:25.

Trade Centre. The first tower collapsed. There was a massive

:10:25.:10:28.

explosion. This morning, she was on BBC Hereford and Worcester

:10:28.:10:32.

recalling a moment that changed her life. For a split second, I thought

:10:32.:10:42.
:10:42.:10:42.

I'm going to do I. -- going to die. She became a war correspondent,

He loved his English eccentricities. 9/11 changed Rob's life. He pursued

his passion for music, this song he filmed on the streets of New York.

:11:31.:11:36.

He's also raised more than �25,000 for charity. How do you feel toured

the perpetrators of this atrocity? Any sense of forgiveness? Sometimes

:11:41.:11:46.

I can say yes, sometimes I can say and working on it. I think they're

:11:46.:11:50.

wrong a lot of other issues. You have to look at why it happened, go

:11:50.:12:00.

back beyond that time to find out... You need to draw a little bit of a

:12:00.:12:04.

line under the last 10 years and say it is time to move on and now,

:12:04.:12:09.

and hopefully find a bit of closure. There are other families in the

Jewellers in one of Birmingham's most historic districts called for

:12:43.:12:45.

greater business support from the Government today.

:12:45.:12:48.

The Jewellery Quarter dates back more than 250 years and is still

:12:48.:12:51.

home to over 400 jewellery companies. But many of those firms

:12:51.:12:54.

face big challenges for the future. Made in the Jewellery Quarter,

Birmingham. A platinum gold ring, in the expert hands of jeweller

:12:56.:13:01.

James Newman. Our customer is really looking for something

:13:01.:13:07.

special, something unique, something original. James Newman

:13:07.:13:09.

joined others in banging the drum for Birmingham manufacturing, for

:13:09.:13:16.

the benefit of this man. A good to meet you, welcome. Martin

:13:16.:13:18.

Donnelly's job is to advise ministers in the Department for

:13:18.:13:21.

Business and at the School of Jewellery he met company bosses who

:13:21.:13:26.

had plenty to say. Lots of discussions about skills. Good

:13:26.:13:29.

taking him say that this current government gets manufacturing but

:13:29.:13:32.

we need to see growth coming through. Manufacturing as a whole

:13:32.:13:37.

has suffered through cheap overseas competition. 30,000 people worked

:13:37.:13:40.

in the jewellery trade in Birmingham at the turn of the 20th

:13:40.:13:43.

century. It's now around 2,000. But this isn't about trying to compete

:13:43.:13:52.

against cheap foreign imports. The story now is not volume but value,

:13:52.:13:55.

and the job they are trying to do here is promote the Jewellery

:13:55.:13:58.

Quarter as the place to come for high quality, high value goods.

:13:58.:14:01.

often people don't know what Birmingham has to offer. We have an

:14:01.:14:04.

amazing wealth of activity in the jewellery Quarter. The half high-

:14:04.:14:10.

end automotive and specialist, high value added manufacturing. We need

:14:10.:14:14.

to celebrate his it. And it was a message the man from the ministry

:14:14.:14:17.

was taking on board. The high quality luxury-goods market is

:14:17.:14:21.

growing fast with a new consumers in Asia and elsewhere. This is a

:14:21.:14:26.

real opportunity for Birmingham. The quality of high-end product and

:14:26.:14:31.

design is world-beating. And as he left he promised to return and in

:14:31.:14:34.

the meantime promote the city. It's likely many people will hold him to

:14:34.:14:44.
:14:44.:15:00.

Wakeman School and arts college has a good reputation. This year's

:15:00.:15:04.

GCSEs with the best ever. But its pupil numbers are at an all-time

:15:04.:15:10.

low and despite months of protests culminating in this demonstration,

:15:10.:15:15.

at Shire Hall, the decision to close was taken. The pupils have

:15:15.:15:19.

mocked up a crime scene because they believe it is criminal for

:15:19.:15:22.

their score to be closed and they are doing it right under the

:15:22.:15:27.

meeting rooms where those decisions are being made. They should see our

:15:27.:15:31.

school for how it is and that it is a good school which should not shy.

:15:31.:15:37.

If you get rid of the family, it will be an incredible a disaster.

:15:37.:15:39.

Emotive as their arguments are, they were not enough to change

:15:39.:15:43.

minds and the council said it was not viable to run a more than half

:15:43.:15:48.

empty school. The school buildings can accommodate around 670 pupils.

:15:48.:15:54.

But at present, there are just 230. For a minute there was talk of

:15:54.:16:01.

school closures, obviously parents link that with our school and

:16:01.:16:07.

started to be concerned about their children coming here. -- from the

:16:07.:16:11.

minute there was talk. I've lost about 180 children in the last few

:16:11.:16:17.

months. So now the fight is on with the school claiming that these

:16:17.:16:20.

Council's consultation process will flawed. There were numerous

:16:20.:16:23.

complaints to the ombudsman and there are now investigating

:16:23.:16:26.

Shropshire council to see whether or not they are guilty of

:16:26.:16:31.

maladministration for example. There is also the adjudicator. If

:16:31.:16:35.

they look at the case, I am fairly confident it would be rejected and

:16:35.:16:39.

the council would have to support the school in repairing the damage

:16:39.:16:45.

that the council has done to it. The school is it Scheduled to close

:16:45.:16:53.

in 2013 but the real fight to keep it open has only just begun.

:16:53.:16:56.

Shropshire council told us they refute all claims of

:16:56.:16:59.

maladministration, saying it has been a very difficult decision to

:16:59.:17:03.

close the school. They are absolutely satisfied they followed

:17:03.:17:11.

correct processes to the letter. Still to come tonight: the answer

:17:11.:17:14.

to this question, ahead of Europe's largest free arts festival - what

:17:14.:17:18.

links these two photos? And I'll be here with a look ahead

:17:18.:17:21.

to a blustery autumnal weekend, which could have a real sting in

:17:21.:17:31.
:17:31.:17:32.

its tail. All the details coming up 600 years ago, an unknown Midlander

:17:32.:17:34.

commissioned a book or compilation of texts. It's called the Vernon

:17:34.:17:37.

Manuscript, extremely long and it's been described as one of the

:17:37.:17:46.

greatest treasures of early English literature.

:17:46.:17:49.

It's also unheard of, outside the Oxford library where it's kept. But

:17:49.:17:52.

now the book has been digitised. And for researchers it's a chance

:17:52.:17:55.

to hear how it might have sounded centuries ago. Here's our science

:17:55.:18:04.

correspondent David Gregory. The Vernon manuscript, poetry and

:18:04.:18:07.

prose for pious readers written in 1400. And written in a West

:18:07.:18:13.

Midlands dialect. It is written on a calf skin and it is thought it

:18:13.:18:23.
:18:23.:18:24.

took 200 animals. You can now fit it all on one DVD. So while the

:18:24.:18:26.

manuscript remains locked in the Bodlean Library in Oxford, the

:18:26.:18:29.

words are returning to the Midlands home to the dialect they were

:18:29.:18:33.

written in. A lot of the key characteristics of the accents now

:18:33.:18:37.

were already there 600 years ago. We are studying the relationship

:18:37.:18:47.
:18:47.:18:56.

between the two. You is often Researchers from the University of

:19:20.:19:27.

home is... I might ask him if forgiveness and all my sins...

:19:27.:19:32.

Reading 600 year-old texts takes some practice but the hope is that

:19:32.:19:36.

one day this manuscript will go on display back in the Midlands, where

:19:36.:19:45.

it came from. If you would like to read the resit

debut with a goal against one of his former clubs Liverpool.

:20:03.:20:06.

While West Bromwich Albion will be desperate to kick start their

:20:06.:20:09.

season, no points so far after their first three games. They've

:20:09.:20:12.

conceded late goals in all three. But manager Roy Hodgson doesn't

:20:13.:20:20.

think it'll be an ongoing problem. The timing of the goals as one of

:20:20.:20:24.

those things that happens in football. Goals are scored in early

:20:24.:20:29.

and they are scored late. Sometimes you can make a big mistake trying

to read something into it which actually is not they have. -- is

The Paralympic Games tickets go on sale today. I want my friends and
