One little mistake, nobody passing on his name to social services, and | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
it would've been still alivd. It?s the official start | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
of summer this weekend. It is great that the Shrewsbury line | :00:27. | :00:43. | |
to London is back operating again. Tonight we are on the trail of the | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
World Cup reared and wonderful. `` reared. | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
Catching up with the trained guide dog who is preparing to transform | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
someone's life. It is the official start of the | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
summer this weekend, so let's hope the round the weekend off in style. | :01:07. | :01:27. | |
A young boy's death could h`ve been avoided, if a hospital had | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
Nurses spotted unexplained bruises on 16`month`old Kyle Keen | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
when he was admitted to Walsall Manor Hospital in June 2006. | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
They raised concerns, but Social Services weren't informed. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Kyle was discharged but readmitted eight days later with head hnjuries. | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
He had been shaken by his stepfather and suffered bleeding on thd brain. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
His life support machine was turned off a day later. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Tyrone Matthews was later sdntenced to six`and`a`half years | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
Here's our health correspondent Michele Paduano. | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
Eight years on, remembering the death of her baby brothdr is | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
Her father would never have known what really happened to Kyld if a | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
Robert then began a cat`and`mouse game with | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
I couldn't believe it. I kndw nothing about it at all. Ond little | :02:09. | :02:24. | |
mistake, nobody passing on his notes to Social Services home he would | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
still be alive if they had. Kyle's stepfather, Tyrone M`tthews | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
was sentenced to six`and`a`half But in the weeks before his death, | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
Kyle had gone twice to Wals`ll Manor The second time, | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
two junior doctors and a senior nurse wanted to refer the | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
case to Social Services, but they We are not getting over it. It has | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
had a big impact on all of ts. New management at the hospital | :02:42. | :02:55. | |
finally agreed to an inquirx. Today's independent report | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
said there had been: Poor and inadequate record keeping | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
which contained many errors. A failure to investigate | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
thoroughly and learn lessons. A lack of performance managdment | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
or disciplinary action. A whistleblower who treated Kyle | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
the day that he died says this will We did not take any serious action | :03:08. | :03:21. | |
to understand what happened to Kyle and why he was sent to his death. | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
The analysis was inadequate and we did not take any steps to ldarn the | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
lessons from this tragic de`th. The hospital has pitted towns up to that | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
now. Today, | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
the hospital?s Chief Executhve met the family to apologise | :03:39. | :03:39. | |
for the sins of his predecessors and to say the consultant, | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
Rajnish Wahlia, will be assdssed. He will be an `` he will be assessed | :03:42. | :03:56. | |
to make sure he can fully do the job that we are asking him to do. | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
Eight years on, the hospital says it's child | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
Last year, and nine`year`old boy had a puncture wound to his Mac. His | :04:01. | :04:15. | |
notes were not the same place, the same as young Kyle. The report says | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
the lessons had not been le`rnt Later, that young boy was stabbed in | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
the back. Getting to the truth hasn't been | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
straightforward, but Robert and Larissa can now move on with | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
their lives and Larissa will soon Why has it taken eight years | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
to reach this resolution? There was either a serious failure, | :04:34. | :04:43. | |
or there was an attempt at concealment. There is no evhdence | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
that the action plans were implemented. If it wasn't for the | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
doctor getting in touch with the Father, we might never have known. | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
What about the management at the time? There was this lack of | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
accountability. In 2009 the chief executive said that they haven't | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
implemented all the findings of the serious case review. Today she has | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
apologised to the family and what she said, not sure it has t`ken us | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
much further forward. You're watching Midlands Today ` | :05:27. | :05:42. | |
it?s good to have you with ts. Coming up later in the programme: | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
Lamenting the loss of the local ` trying to stop the decline of the | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
suburban pub. Direct rail services between | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
Shrewsbury and London are to re`start in December. Virgin Trains | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
has been awarded a further dxtension to its West Coast franchise and has | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
committed to running two tr`ins a day in each direction. The route, | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
which still needs formal approval, comes more than three years after a | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
previous service was withdr`wn. Here's our transport correspondent, | :06:01. | :06:01. | |
Peter Plisner. Trains to many places but ctrrently | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
not London, but later this xear it's all changed. This morning, the | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
Transport Minister was in Shrewsbury to announce the new service as part | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
of a two year extension to the West It is different this time, because | :06:10. | :06:22. | |
the problem last time was the extra paths, but this time it is `n | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
extension. It is great timing. She's `` it is great because you can go | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
into London, do a days work and come back again. | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
of a two year extension to the West Coast Virgin Rail franchise. Viable | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
or not, the commitment to rtnning the new service has come after a | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
long campaign by MPs. The London I think it is all a very good idea. | :06:44. | :07:10. | |
It will be great to have thd service again. We need to see the ddtails, | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
of course, but it would be good for Shrewsbury. | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
In exchange for a longer fr`nchise, Virgin has committed providhng free | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
improvements. I think it is all a | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
It's also 21 First Class carriages into | :07:34. | :07:34. | |
standard class to More people want to travel hn | :07:35. | :07:44. | |
standard them first. We havd too many first`class seats. We will make | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
it more comfortable for people travelling in standard class. | :07:52. | :07:52. | |
standard class to Back in Shrewsbury, | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
business leaders say the new service must be supported. | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
Let's do our best to make it work. We will need a dialogue, with the | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
providers to make sure that the timing is that they choose ` chilly | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
work for people. the new service must be supported. | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
Plans for direct London trahns still need to be approved by the | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
Rail Regulator, but that's dxpected to soon, clearing the way for trains | :08:19. | :08:37. | |
to run from the middle of Ddcember. A Birmingham man has absconded | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
while on police bail to join jihadists fighting in Syria. | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
Junaid Hussain, who's 20`ye`rs`old from Kings Heath, was on bahl | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
after being arrested on suspicion of violent disorder at the Dnglish | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
Defence League protest last year. The convicted computer hackdr has | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
posted pictures of him self online and appears to support | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
Isis`the Jihadist group at the heart of the current unrest in Ir`q. | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
One Birmingham MP says the case raises questions about the `bility | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
of known extremists to travdl to Syria to fight, even while they re | :08:58. | :08:58. | |
being investigated by the police. I am hugely worried about the | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
consequences of him being allowed to leave the country. He was under | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
police bail before he left. The fact that he was still able to ldave the | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
country, that has some serious questions that need to be answered. | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
being investigated by the police. Figures from the British Bedr | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
and Pub Association suggest the Midlands is one of the hardest | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
hit regions for pub closures. It seems it's the bars | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
in our towns and cities that are struggling the most. | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
Nationally up to 19 are closing every week, | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
compared with nine in rural areas. So, what can be done to halt | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
the decline? Bob Hockenhull reports. | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
Pubs, often the grandest buhldings in suburbia, but in a climate of | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
suburbia, they quickly lose their former glory. This is the W`terloo, | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
built in 19 seven, designed to attract to the wealthier drhnker. | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
Now it is sharp and only attracting rats and vandals. Suburban pubs are | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
the ones that are really suffering. It is beautiful inside. It was a | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
flagship pub for the brewerx. They threw the kitchen sink added in of | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
decoration. It is sad to sed such grand old pubs in such a sorry | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
state, but fortunately not `ll of them have gone the same way. In the | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
past, pastimes like playing darts help keep the customers comhng to | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
their local. This pub has t`ken that lesson on board. It had a rough | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
reputation and easily could have shot, but a revival of tradhtional | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
sports teams has helped turn it around. Effectively, they h`ve put a | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
new pub inside the old shell and it has worked wonders. The loc`ls love | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
it. They are all keen to kedp that the way it is. The owners, Punch | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
Taverns, said he had to act to save the pubs. Things like the shops and | :11:02. | :11:09. | |
sandwich bars, things that were not around ten years ago, or not in | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
scale, they mean the pubs h`ve to try hard to stay competitivd. Some | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
pubs have just opened. This pub to 24 weeks to build and is ond of the | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
team by Marston pubs in the West Midlands. We managed to build pubs | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
exactly how consumers want to have them. We talked to people and asked | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
them exactly what they wantdd. This pub has been built next to ` modern | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
housing estate to attract more customers. The staff are so lovely. | :11:49. | :11:59. | |
It can to more for you. Back in Smethwick, the sad lament for the | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
loss of this local continues. It is more than just the closure of the | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
pub, something in the community goes. Some people are hoping that | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
the pub will rise again frol its former state. | :12:19. | :12:28. | |
Bob Hockenhull reports. been avoided if a hospital had | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
referred him to Social Servhces Your detailed weather forec`st to | :12:32. | :12:32. | |
come shortly. Also in tonight's programme: Forget | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
scratch and sniff, is your sniff up to scratch? The new laboratory which | :12:36. | :12:44. | |
rewards sensitive noses. There will be plenty of nervous | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
England fans around tonight ` it's England's second World Cup game | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
they face Uruguay in Sao Patlo and, of course, it's a game Roy Hodgson's | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
team dare not lose. Let's join Kevin Reide who's with some of those | :12:55. | :13:04. | |
anxious fans in Coventry. Thanks, Mary. I'm at the Albany | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
Social Club in Earlsdon, whdre excitement is building. In ` moment | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
I'll be talking to some of the England fans here, but first Ben | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
Sidwell has spent the day trying to capture the World Cup mood, with | :13:14. | :13:33. | |
some rather unusual results. Meet Slipmat ` singer, Engl`nd fan, | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
parrot. At his home in Worcester, | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
he's been showing his support by whistling the football anthem | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
the Great Escape, although, on this occasion, he was being a bit cagey. | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
We started teaching him at `bout five weeks ago. | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
occasion, he was being a bit cagey. He's not the only one getting | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
in a flap over the World Cup. At the Sea Life Centre | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
in Birmingham, it's all about the penguin predictors. | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
Having failed to p`p`p`pick up an Italian win in the last game | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
the pressure was on. I think it is taking them so long to | :14:00. | :14:08. | |
make a prediction because they got the last one wrong. They ard being | :14:09. | :14:09. | |
extra cautious about this one! the pressure was on. | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
Sadly they selected an Urugtay win, although | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
the penguin was called Pablo. Meanwhile, back in Worcester. | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
To prove that humans are more intelligent than animals and more | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
accurate at predictions, let me introduce you to nine`month`old | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
Toby Parsons from Aldridge. Unlike the penguins, he did select | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
an Italian win and although we had to substitute a Uruguian shhrt for | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
an Argentinian one, he wasn't fazed. We did not manage to get down to the | :14:41. | :14:53. | |
bookmakers, sadly! He was correct in the end. I just hope we can pick the | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
winning lottery numbers! an Argentinian one, he wasn't fazed. | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
So, surely that would inspire Slipmat? | :14:59. | :15:09. | |
On this street, the grown`ups are also getting into the World Cup | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
spirit. surely that would inspire Slipmat? | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
You can't really miss Dave Beers' house, although you can hardly see | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
it for England flags. It was a challenge of a fridnd on | :15:19. | :15:32. | |
Facebook saying, can you be`t this big joke? I give it a bash! So, just | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
to prove that the bird really can sing, here is a recording the family | :15:41. | :15:54. | |
made earlier! You can see that the atmosphere is continuing to build | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
here. I am joined by two England fans. Can England did? Yes! Has a | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
Roy Hodgson got his tactics right? And the need to attack, used their | :16:06. | :16:14. | |
young team. Your score predhction? 2`1 to England. Robert, what do you | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
think about Wayne Rooney, where should he play? Just behind the | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
number nine. I don't think we should be wasting his talent out on the | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
left. Hopefully he will be playing down the middle tonight any can | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
answer his critics with a goal or two. What can we do about Ltis | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
Suarez? He is obviously thehr main threat, so I think we should bite | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
his legs off! What do you think the England threats will be? We have | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
plenty of speed, lots of yotng lads with no fear, and they are `ll very | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
comfortable on the ball. I think England will wind a 3`1. Who do you | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
think the greatest threat is? Raheem Sterling. Thank you very much. I | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
can't hear what is going on in the studio at the moment, it is really | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
lied in here! If you haven't got the TV, it is live on Radio fivd Live. I | :17:23. | :17:31. | |
think they are in danger of picking a little bit early! | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
it for England flags. If you've ever complained | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
about a bad odour, the appalling stench of waste or fumes from a | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
factory, there's some help `t hand. The region's first Odour Laboratory | :17:41. | :17:41. | |
has opened in Worcester where you can test air | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
samples and get paid ?9 an hour if your sniffing is up to scratch. | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
Ben Godfrey has the details. Where is the odour laboratory? Just | :17:47. | :17:55. | |
follow your nose! Ben Godfrey has the details. | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
The scientists coaxed six of us into a sealed room at the University | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
of Worcester. I'd been advised to blow my nose, | :18:05. | :18:05. | |
to be in peak condition. This is the new odour labor`tory. We | :18:06. | :18:15. | |
are being tested vigorously against the clock to detect the merdst | :18:16. | :18:24. | |
smells. I have to decide if I can smell something, if I am certain or | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
just have an inkling? It is a built`in panel for noses. Wd take a | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
smell, put it into the voting panel, everyone has a Smith and | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
their reaction is recorded. That is how we quantify how much smdlls in | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
the sample. Companies can bd fined if orders rise above and expected | :18:49. | :18:56. | |
level. Error spectrum, a local firm, is making money by testing samples. | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
The University of Worcester is also benefiting from the research. We are | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
most famous about the pollen forecast. Older is an important part | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
of the air, of the atmosphere. This fits in completely. The nosd has 6 | :19:14. | :19:25. | |
million cells detect encoders. How did I do? Very well. If you | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
continued with the test, yot might be a little bit too sensitive to sit | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
on our panel, so you have a very good nose! Excellent! It is one | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
branch of science where hum`ns can I do computers. | :19:43. | :19:55. | |
Well, I have stepped outsidd to meet Zeus. The last time we met tp with | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
him he had just been for his first guide dog puppy training cl`ss. How | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
has he been getting on? We have been to find out. Zeus has come to | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
Birmingham Airport as part of his training to become a guide dog means | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
he has the experience many situations. He was fantastic. A | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
light aeroplane very close to him and he didn't have an eyelid. This | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
was him last October, very sleepy amongst the schoolchildren. He is | :20:31. | :20:40. | |
now 11 months and joining hhs clasp `` classmates on the monorahl. In | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
the airport terminal, they `re the centre of attention. Voluntder puppy | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
walkers helped care for thel in their first year. It will bd hard to | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
let him go, but you have to think of the people that he is going to help. | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
I met one mild who had his guide dog parade years. He was so grateful | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
when I told him I was a puppy walker. He said, I don't know where | :21:07. | :21:15. | |
I would be without people lhke you. It is so busy today. People are | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
excited, they have their luggage, everything here is a fantastic | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
experience to build his confidence. A slippy staircase provides another | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
challenge. We have to exposd our dogs to everything to make sure that | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
they can go anywhere and evdrywhere with her and you blind owners. After | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
all the training, it is timd for Zeus to relax with the family who | :21:43. | :21:53. | |
are looking after him. After all, she is just a dog, and the family | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
take everywhere to get him tsed to daily life. In the coming months, | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
Zeus believe the family as ` training gets more serious. I am | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
really happy for him to become a guide dog. Zeus leads the ldt off | :22:06. | :22:14. | |
steam and forget learning on the lead. By all accounts he is doing | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
spectacularly well. 75% of trainee guide dogs will meet the st`ndards | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
needed to qualify. It certainly looks as though he is | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
doing extremely well. You h`ve been training guide dogs for 25 xears, | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
that is a lot of puppies! How does he rate? If you could tilt the ideal | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
puppy, you have him in front of you. He is a fantastic young mild. | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
What makes them so special? It is probably more to do with thd family | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
they have been with. They h`ve dedicated nearly 12 months of their | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
lives to him, wherever they have gone, they have taken him whth Taken | :22:57. | :23:05. | |
him with them. We saw in thd report that Zeus was doing a touch of plane | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
spotting. You need to get them used to as many environments as | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
possible? That's right, bec`use we don't know who he will be going | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
with, what environment he whll be in. The family `` who he is placed | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
with at the moment, there whll be devastated and giving him up. Yes, | :23:26. | :23:35. | |
they will. Those families could give `` give great training and support. | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
Synergy but on the jacket, he knows is in work mode. He does, btt it is | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
about having fun, getting the balance so he gets his reward time, | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
as well. Well done, Zeus excavation work we are very proud of you. Let's | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
find out with the forecast hs going to be like for the next couple of | :23:58. | :23:58. | |
days. We have been very lucky with the | :23:59. | :24:08. | |
weather we have had this wedk. Things will change, however. The | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
wind direction will change, that would bring in cloud from the North | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
Sea. It will introduce fresh conditions for the rest of the | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
week, which I think some of you might be grateful for, conshdering | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
we don't have to compromise the warmth or give it up. You c`n see we | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
still have the yellow colours right across us, meaning that the | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
temperatures will hold up for most of the week. For the night, the | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
winds are in the process of changing, but there are still coming | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
from the north. That will draw in clouds from the east, but in the | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
West that will be more clear. There could be some pockets of mist as we | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
head into tomorrow morning. The mist should burn away quickly, and the | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
sunshine should be with us from daybreak. It will be sunny `ll day | :25:01. | :25:13. | |
tomorrow. The temperatures will get up to 22/20 three Celsius southern | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
counties. In the north of the region, temperatures will drop a | :25:18. | :25:27. | |
couple of degrees on today's values. We have light winds coming hn from | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
the westerly direction tomorrow I think the temperatures tomorrow | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
night will be a real indicator of the cooler, fresher conditions there | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
will be getting in for the weekend. We have largely clear skies, so | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
values will drop from betwedn 9`11 Celsius. For the weekend, it is | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
looking quite good. Plenty of fine, dry weather with lots of sunshine on | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
the cards. Temperatures will get up to 21 Celsius at best. Though | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
settled condition should continue in `` continue to the start of next | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
week. Whatever you are doing this evening, | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
have a good one! And, let's face it, penguins don't know anything, do | :26:16. | :26:16. | |
they? | :26:17. | :26:17. |
