New claims from a former he`d of social services linking our region

:00:00.:00:09.

to an alleged paedophile network at the heart of the establishment.

:00:10.:00:15.

This was something which was alarming, that opened a Pandora s

:00:16.:00:20.

box. David Tombs said he raised concerns

:00:21.:00:24.

to the Department of Health 20 years Tahir Alam and his Board of Trustees

takeover plot. We are now at a stage where our

students are asking, why do people think I am a terrorist?

sunbaked fields in clear blte skies and sweltering temper`tures.

:01:01.:01:02.

It could soon be a reality, but not without its drawbacks.

:01:03.:01:05.

There have been new claims linking our region with

:01:06.:01:21.

an alleged paedophile network at the heart of the establishment.

:01:22.:01:23.

A former head of social services for Hereford and Worcester has spoken

:01:24.:01:26.

of how he took his concerns about a paedophile ring to bosses in the

:01:27.:01:30.

But David Tombs says his warnings were ignored.

:01:31.:01:36.

His claims back up those already made by a colleague of his hn social

:01:37.:01:40.

services and also by a formdr West Mercia police detectivd.

:01:41.:01:44.

At home in Ledbury, retired for some 20 years.

:01:45.:01:50.

David Tombs was once a national authority in sochal

:01:51.:01:53.

services, a man used to havhng his concerns taken seriouslx.

:01:54.:01:58.

So when in the early ?90s he heard `bout the

:01:59.:02:00.

case of Peter Righton, a paddophile from Evesham whose activitids

:02:01.:02:04.

allegedly implicated dozens of high`profile figures, he thought the

:02:05.:02:08.

I was told that I was probably wasting my time, that there were...

:02:09.:02:19.

The words used were along these lines.

:02:20.:02:22.

That there were ?too many of them over there?.

:02:23.:02:25.

Now, I was talking about paedophhlia

:02:26.:02:28.

I was in the Department of Health and the "over there"

:02:29.:02:31.

to me indicated, although the words were not used, within Parli`ment or

:02:32.:02:35.

David Tombs? account of a cover`up might sound f`miliar.

:02:36.:02:41.

That's because the case of Peter Righton ` who's now ddad `

:02:42.:02:45.

is linked to Operation Fairbank the current police investig`tion

:02:46.:02:48.

into claims of a paedophile network linked to Downing Street.

:02:49.:02:52.

It all started in October 1892 when West Bromwich Labour MP Tom

:02:53.:02:57.

Watson stood up in the Commons and asked for

:02:58.:02:59.

Now he'd been given information from one of Mr Tombs? colleagues, the

:03:00.:03:06.

former child protection man`ger Peter McKelvie. He spoke publicly

:03:07.:03:09.

last week, saying he believdd at least 20 prominent men were involved

:03:10.:03:13.

Two days later, his story w`s corroborated by the former West

:03:14.:03:19.

Now he claimed he had found suitcases full of correspondence

:03:20.:03:25.

under Righton's bed linking establishment figures to paddophilia

:03:26.:03:30.

and that despite the police knowing about the evidence nothing was done.

:03:31.:03:35.

David Tombs has described the Righton case as a Pandora's box that

:03:36.:03:39.

It seems to me that the one place I should be able to come to to alert

:03:40.:03:53.

the nation to this issue was the Department of Health.

:03:54.:03:59.

And it didn't look as if I was going to get any kind of response.

:04:00.:04:02.

Tonight, a spokesperson for the Department of Health sahd she

:04:03.:04:05.

couldn't comment on Mr Tombs? claims because of the imminent enqtiry

:04:06.:04:08.

The chairman of the education trust at the centre

:04:09.:04:16.

of the alleged Trojan Horse Muslim takeover plot in Birmingham schools

:04:17.:04:19.

has resigned along with his entire Board of Trustees.

:04:20.:04:24.

Our political reporter, Kathryn Stanczyszyn, is at the

:04:25.:04:27.

Well, Elliott, the head teacher stood in front of these eight is so

:04:28.:04:42.

widely pictured over the last four months and announced he was stepping

:04:43.:04:46.

down along with his trustees at this trust. He did not go quietlx, saying

:04:47.:04:49.

the message from Government is clear. You can comment on these East

:04:50.:04:54.

Birmingham 's and run the schools and improve them you know c`nnot be

:04:55.:05:00.

trusted to carry on. Ofsted downgraded three of the schools run

:05:01.:05:04.

by this trust last month and Mr Alam said it was a vicious attack. Ofsted

:05:05.:05:11.

found that the trust had bedn pushing an Islamic agenda and there

:05:12.:05:14.

was a culture of fear and intimidation amongst staff,

:05:15.:05:18.

something Mr Alam has strentously denied. In his resignation, he said

:05:19.:05:21.

there was no apologies, no regrets, just concern for the pupils here.

:05:22.:05:26.

Our grade A students are asking why do people think I am a

:05:27.:05:30.

terrorist? They are worrying about the impact having Park View on their

:05:31.:05:33.

might have on the chances of securing a college, univershty or a

:05:34.:05:40.

future job prospect. The trtth is that no`one cared about the children

:05:41.:05:43.

and young people in Birmingham when the schools were failing them

:05:44.:05:46.

There was little doubt eithdr of who Mr Alam blame for this. He spoke

:05:47.:06:00.

about Michael Gove. He said he has a profound mistrust of Islam, that is

:06:01.:06:05.

on public record, and that hs what has allowed suspicion to grow and

:06:06.:06:08.

concerns to be blown out of proportion.

:06:09.:06:10.

What happens now at the schools involved?

:06:11.:06:16.

All three trustees will now be replaced. The Department for

:06:17.:06:18.

Education are involved in this. Other heads from outstanding schools

:06:19.:06:24.

are likely to come in and hdlp run the school from September.

How a company from Stoke is transforming the back

It's likely to take MPs mord than two years to assess hundreds

:06:39.:06:42.

of petitions against the high speed rail link

:06:43.:06:45.

An influential Government committee has spent the day in the Midlands

:06:46.:06:49.

looking at sites which could be affected by the line.

:06:50.:06:52.

Our transport correspondent Peter Plisner is at Curzon Street in

:06:53.:06:57.

Birmingham, which would be the site of the main station for the project.

:06:58.:07:00.

Why is it going to take so long for these petitions to be hdard

:07:01.:07:08.

I think it is the sheer weight of petitions that have been received by

:07:09.:07:14.

those opposed to HS2 and indeed the hybrid bill that could clear the way

:07:15.:07:18.

for it to be built. At the dnd of June when the deadline passdd, 900

:07:19.:07:22.

petitions had been put forw`rd by people directly affected by the

:07:23.:07:26.

line. All of those have perlission to address the committee personally.

:07:27.:07:29.

That is why we will see so luch time taken. The committee was he`rd in

:07:30.:07:34.

the Midlands all day today `nd visited this site. This is where we

:07:35.:07:39.

saw plans for what will be the UK's biggest HS2 station. They also saw

:07:40.:07:46.

other parts of Birmingham and the area. I talked to the chairlan of

:07:47.:07:49.

the committee and he talked about the timescales. We would be lucky to

:07:50.:07:54.

do it in under two years. It depends about this petitions and sole of the

:07:55.:07:59.

changes we might make. Many of the petitions depend on decisions the

:08:00.:08:03.

committee might make. So, wd intend to deal with it as quickly `s we

:08:04.:08:07.

can. Did the committee meet with any of the objectors today?

:08:08.:08:12.

They did. They spent all dax year and went to a village badly affected

:08:13.:08:17.

by plans for HS2. They encotntered a small protest here and some of those

:08:18.:08:21.

people had put petitions in. I spoke to one of those who did spe`k to one

:08:22.:08:24.

of the committee members and visitors what they said. Thdy were

:08:25.:08:29.

very reasonable. I hope thex will take on board some of the things we

:08:30.:08:34.

said. What did you talk abott? I thought it was a waste of money and

:08:35.:08:38.

they should look at the altdrnative proposals we have put forward. It

:08:39.:08:47.

does rather make deadlines pretty tight if construction will start in

2017. One or bit of HS2 news. It is highly likely the Government will

announce that HS2 Limited, The company behind the controversial

:08:59.:09:00.

scheme, will move its headqtarters from London to Birmingham so that

:09:01.:09:05.

they can be in Birmingham to manage the construction phase of the

and goings all day at Number 10 Downing Street, as the Primd

Minister reshapes his Cabindt. And it's had some major

:10:10.:10:12.

repercussions here in the Mhdlands. The North Shropshire MP Owen

:10:13.:10:15.

Paterson has been sacked as Environment Secretary

:10:16.:10:18.

but there's been a promotion Our political editor Patrick Burns

:10:19.:10:22.

has been So, Patrick,

:10:23.:10:26.

not a good day for Owen Patterson? Absolutely not. I am told that

:10:27.:10:37.

unlike some of his colleaguds, Owen Paterson was in no mood to stand

:10:38.:10:42.

down. This really is a filing. Why? Partly because of his response to

:10:43.:10:48.

the flooding emergency. There was the failed badger cull and those

:10:49.:10:55.

notorious comments about Defra's handling of the measures to prevent

:10:56.:10:59.

TB and cattle spreading. Asked about the failure of pilots, incltding one

:11:00.:11:02.

in Gloucestershire, he said the badgers moved the goalposts. He has

:11:03.:11:07.

had a rough ride since he took over the job Environment Secretary two

:11:08.:11:10.

years ago from one of his fdllow Midlands MPs. He has been no

:11:11.:11:13.

stranger to controversy. He has been sceptical about climate change and a

:11:14.:11:18.

very public opponent of the Government's Same`sex Marri`ge Bill.

:11:19.:11:23.

Where some MPs lose out, others gain. Good news for Jeremy Wright.

:11:24.:11:29.

That is the way of it. Mr Wright has landed the top job of Attorney

General, which makes in the Government's chief legal adviser. He

is a specialist in criminal law who practised as a barrister at

:11:42.:11:45.

Minister for prison is and rehabilitation since 2012. This is a

:11:46.:11:51.

significant motion. Some of those tipped for thd top

:11:52.:11:55.

jobs? We're still waiting for details for possible top jobs for

:11:56.:12:02.

some of our Midlands MPs who are female.

They are more likely to be junior roles.

A Stoke`on`Trent technology company is helping to give passengers on

:12:28.:12:29.

buses in Glasgow a more intdractive Commonwealth Games experience.

:12:30.:12:31.

It means people with smartphones or tablets will be able to find out

:12:32.:12:34.

more about the Games, the vdnues and the competitors all by scanning a

:12:35.:12:37.

And as our Staffordshire reporter Liz Copper's been finding ott,

:12:38.:12:42.

This hi`tech firm's taking on companies in Silicon Valley.

:12:43.:12:52.

Its name is Ooh`AR and AR stands for "augmented reality".

:12:53.:12:55.

All this from its headquartdrs in Burslem in Stoke`on`Trent.

:12:56.:13:04.

What is augmented reality? Ht is a bridge between the real world and

:13:05.:13:11.

digital world. By pointing xour smartphone or tablet at a phece of

:13:12.:13:15.

packaging or piece of print or even a bus seat, we can access htge

:13:16.:13:21.

amounts of information. It streams to that device so customers can be

:13:22.:13:25.

engaged about products and services but then they can immediately start

:13:26.:13:27.

to interact with that content using the touch`screen to sign up or

:13:28.:13:32.

joining or buy things. One of the company's most hhgh

:13:33.:13:33.

profile projects has been l`unched The technology's being used on

:13:34.:13:36.

the back of bus seats in Gl`sgow. Once you switch it on, you hold it

:13:37.:13:47.

and it will pick the trigger lock and the information comes to life as

:13:48.:13:49.

you're travelling towards the city centre. You can see information on

:13:50.:13:55.

Glasgow and you can also tap it and it will take you to different

:13:56.:13:58.

websites where you can get information on what is happdning in

:13:59.:14:01.

Glasgow and also on timetables for other services.

:14:02.:14:04.

The Prince of Wales was shown how the technology works

:14:05.:14:07.

He was obviously entertained, but there's serious business

:14:08.:14:10.

In education, it will be very big. When you do your shopping, xou will

:14:11.:14:23.

see it in stores. Almost evdry sector of everyday life it hs going

:14:24.:14:26.

to touch. This innovation's part

:14:27.:14:30.

of a fast`moving industry Augmented reality is a big growth

:14:31.:14:39.

area. This is not the only company to capitalise on that potential but

:14:40.:14:42.

it is at the forefront of an emerging business opportunity.

New claims from a former he`d of social services linking our region

:14:46.:14:50.

to an alleged paedophile network at the heart of the establishment.

We drop in on the fledgling peregrine falcon

:15:00.:15:03.

And what connects the University of Gloucestershire with athletes

:15:04.:15:10.

Teenage pregnancies and sextally transmitted diseases are thhngs we

:15:11.:15:25.

would all rather not think `bout ` especially when it comes to

:15:26.:15:28.

But like it or not, teenagers are thinking about people they fancy.

:15:29.:15:32.

As part of our Midlands Tomorrow series, we sent Noreen Khan

:15:33.:15:37.

from the BBC's Asian Network to a successful project that encourages

:15:38.:15:46.

the fight against unwanted pregnancies and sexually tr`nsmitted

:15:47.:15:56.

I went along to a session in the city called Be Savvy, which

:15:57.:16:00.

encourages youngsters to thhnk carefully about safe sex and the

:16:01.:16:02.

Like, relationships and young people, because I don't think, young

:16:03.:16:20.

girls especially, are aware of the things they can pick up frol it

:16:21.:16:24.

Even in 2014, talking about sex is tricky.

:16:25.:16:25.

I think parents need to realise that some of their children are having

:16:26.:16:29.

sexual relationships, even `t 1 and 16, they should realise we will

:16:30.:16:31.

Friends and people feel pressure to have sex at an early age and lose

:16:32.:16:36.

Do you feel a lot of pressure from the media, from social

:16:37.:16:42.

networking sites, from peers that you should be out there havhng sex?

:16:43.:16:47.

Yes, a lot of the music viddos now are talking about sex, even

:16:48.:16:52.

in videos it is really reve`ling, girls walk around half naked.

:16:53.:16:58.

That is a big impact for us, you have to live with that, that is

:16:59.:17:03.

For girls, it makes them feel they havd to look

:17:04.:17:08.

like that, or act in a cert`in way to get a boy's attention.

:17:09.:17:12.

Someone like Miley Cyrus went from having a good image, from bding

:17:13.:17:19.

What do you want to say to `dults that think young people shotldn t be

:17:20.:17:32.

thinking about sex, let alone be talking about ht,

:17:33.:17:34.

If they think back to what they were doing at that age, thex were

:17:35.:17:39.

At a younger age, 14, peopld think they know what love is.

:17:40.:17:46.

I don't think they should commit themselves at 14,

:17:47.:17:51.

Even for me, as a grown`up, the subject of sex can be awkward,

:17:52.:17:58.

but perhaps we all need to think about the language we are using

:17:59.:18:01.

when talking about sex and how we inform the next

:18:02.:18:03.

Just like the birds and the bees, this is

:18:04.:18:08.

And if you've got a story about what it's like to be xoung

:18:09.:18:19.

and growing up in the Midlands, then we want to hear from you.

Three aircraft, which flew during World War One, arrivdd at

They will form the main part of a new exhibition to show visitors

:18:32.:18:35.

how some of the Great War w`s fought in the air.

:18:36.:18:38.

These aircraft, all wonders of the First World War, filled here

A Bristol M1c and, in the lorry a Sopwith 1 ? Strutter and

The Sopwith Pup, from the phlots' notes, was one of the best fighter

aircraft they ever flew in, the Sopwith 1 ? Strutter could be in one

of two roles, it was either a twin or single`seat aircraft, thd Bristol

M1c was one of the very first monoplanes in use.

Watching intently, some of the volunteers and staff

:19:19.:19:20.

that work on them in the museum s respected conservation sector.

:19:21.:19:25.

You couldn't have imagined we were going to war in these things,

:19:26.:19:29.

that is how things have movdd on, and moved on from 100 mile

:19:30.:19:34.

They are not my cup of tea, I prefer Second World War ahrcraft.

:19:35.:19:43.

But any aircraft generally, but if I had a priority,

:19:44.:19:45.

Anything up to the Second World War is mine.

:19:46.:19:51.

Take the top wing off and you have ruined an aeroplane.

:19:52.:19:57.

They will remain hidden frol public view for several months while minor

:19:58.:20:01.

This Sopwith one ? Strutter would once have carried two men

:20:02.:20:07.

But the amazing thing is th`t it is incredibly light, made of wood.

The aeroplanes will form part of an exhibition there, the First World

That is a dangerous point, especially for urban falcons.

:21:33.:21:39.

In the wild, when it comes back after

:21:40.:21:42.

its first flight, it can gr`b onto twigs and branches, if it mhsses

:21:43.:21:46.

the nest, but this smooth`shded building means it cannot do that,

:21:47.:21:50.

Meanwhile, in Hanley in Staffordshire, another BT

:21:51.:21:57.

Perhaps as many as four chicks being raised by these peregrines.

:21:58.:22:05.

Back at the BT Tower and the single chick is almost ready

:22:06.:22:08.

Mike Tindall is to retire from playing rugby union

:22:09.:22:22.

The former England captain was player`coach

:22:23.:22:25.

at Gloucester last season, but hasn't been offered a new contract.

:22:26.:22:28.

The 35`year`old centre, who joined Gloucester from Bath in 2004, won 75

:22:29.:22:34.

caps for his country and was part of the World Cup winning team hn 2 03.

:22:35.:22:44.

We have had dialogue about keeping him in the cltb

:22:45.:22:47.

in an ambassadorial role, which I know he has spoken `bout.

:22:48.:22:49.

We are not pressuring him, he has a wonderful life ahe`d

:22:50.:22:54.

of them, new baby, wonderful wife, the world is his oyster.

:22:55.:22:56.

We would love him to come b`ck and be involved with the cltb.

:22:57.:23:06.

Two weeks today, the Commonwealth Games will be underway in Glasgow.

:23:07.:23:09.

And one university is helping to prepare competitors

:23:10.:23:10.

Nearly forty athletes from Lalawi are training at the Univershty

:23:11.:23:14.

A successful partnership th`t was forged two years ago at the

:23:15.:23:17.

This machine is helping Mal`wi's table tennis players improvd

:23:18.:23:25.

It is not a widely popular sport in Africa, clubs are scarce

:23:26.:23:31.

Malawi's players have not sden this kind of kit before.

:23:32.:23:43.

It spins the ball very hard, which makes us play difficult shots,

:23:44.:23:48.

that helps us in matches to return a difficult balls.

:23:49.:23:56.

We are very delighted to usd it for the first time.

:23:57.:23:59.

We hope the popularity will increasd and

:24:00.:24:00.

then we'll have the chance of having some more equipment of this nature.

:24:01.:24:05.

We use any table to start whth in schools, the desks of our

:24:06.:24:10.

schoolteachers, those who are doing better go to our training cdntre.

:24:11.:24:14.

The University of Gloucestershire's link with Malawi has flourished

:24:15.:24:18.

since the London Olympics, when four athletes came to prepare,

:24:19.:24:22.

this time it is nearly 40 across eight different sports.

:24:23.:24:31.

Part of our job is to help high`level athletes.

:24:32.:24:33.

The fact that we have a relationship with Malawi leans we

:24:34.:24:35.

It is a country which needs some support, they have great raw talent

:24:36.:24:40.

but they haven't the facilities and expertise that we do.

:24:41.:24:47.

Some of the players here pl`y professionally,

:24:48.:24:49.

we have some of our players in the Australian and New Zealand league.

:24:50.:24:52.

The girls in Malawi are willing to be professional.

:24:53.:24:54.

So that they can play outside of the country.

:24:55.:24:58.

If the Malawi team do win their fourth ever Commonwealth

:24:59.:25:01.

medal, the University of Gloucestershire could be taking

:25:02.:25:04.
