:00:28. > :00:31.walked in and pulled the knife out still covered in blood and skin and

:00:32. > :00:39.said, I have oous killed three people and I want to do some more.

:00:40. > :00:50.And the outlook on the flood waters in the west Midlands. This is Inside

:00:51. > :00:54.Out. First den said she wanted to be famous like bonnie and Clyde. She

:00:55. > :01:06.murdered three men and then went on the run looking for more victims.

:01:07. > :01:10.Anthony Bartram tells the full story of the day a serial killer came to

:01:11. > :01:13.town. You may find some of the scenes in the film upsetting. Triple

:01:14. > :01:16.killer Joanna Dennehy's crimes were played out in court like the plot

:01:17. > :01:21.from a horror film. The accomplice of a triple murderier `` murderer

:01:22. > :01:30.has been found guilty... Joanna Dennehy's crimes were played out in

:01:31. > :01:43.court like the plot from a horror film. Tonight we bring you the

:01:44. > :01:49.inside story. Multiple murder don't happen here. So it you might think

:01:50. > :01:54.it was a perfect place to lie low for den. But she had already

:01:55. > :01:58.murdered three men in nine days in Peterborough and came here to kill

:01:59. > :02:05.more. She wanted to kill nine. She said I have got to do nine. That is

:02:06. > :02:16.the number of people bonnie and Clyde killed. She said she wanted to

:02:17. > :02:20.go down like Bonnie Clyde. For the first time we hear from the man

:02:21. > :02:24.Dennehy forced to go along for the ride as she stalked and stabbed two

:02:25. > :02:27.more random victims and the police commander who had to stop her.

:02:28. > :02:29.Dennehy wasn't alone. When you're in that situation you have your heart

:02:30. > :02:35.in your mouth. You're worried. We have had two stapings ` how many

:02:36. > :02:38.more will they be. Joanna Dennehy wasn't alone. Seven foot three Gary

:02:39. > :02:41.Stretch was her driver and accomplice. Here they are, holding

:02:42. > :02:45.hands at Strensham Services on the M5. It's just before 9 in the

:02:46. > :02:50.morning on April 2 and the first sign the pair were heading West.

:02:51. > :02:54.Stretch had contacts in the small Herefordshire town of Kington. For

:02:55. > :03:06.local man Mark Lloyd it was a day he'll never forget. Gary is there by

:03:07. > :03:12.the door staring at me. I thought, what the hell I'm I going to do now?

:03:13. > :03:17.Then while I'm thinking that, Jo walked in, culled the `` pulled the

:03:18. > :03:22.knife out covered in blood and skin and said, you must be Mark. Gary is

:03:23. > :03:29.my driver. I have killed three people and I want to do some more.

:03:30. > :03:33.Mark had never met Dennehy, but knew Stretch through a friend who had

:03:34. > :03:36.asked him to call round. While he admits to a criminal past he insists

:03:37. > :03:41.he had no idea the two fugitives were there and played no part in

:03:42. > :03:44.their murderous plans. He says he was forced to go with them,

:03:45. > :03:52.initially believing they wanted his help to turn the proceeds of a

:03:53. > :03:57.burglary into ready cash. Gary's driving and Jo's by the door. I'm

:03:58. > :04:03.thinking you could go now. I thought, no, this girl was highly

:04:04. > :04:07.agitated. He was hopping up and down like a little dog. I think if I

:04:08. > :04:14.don't get in that car, they're going to be extremely angry. These bizarre

:04:15. > :04:17.photos were taken at the time. Dennehy flashes her bra, revealing

:04:18. > :04:21.dozens of self`harming scars and a disturbed state of mind. Her

:04:22. > :04:28.mimicking side`kick looks happy under her spell and command. Was he

:04:29. > :04:33.under her control? You could say that. He did what she asked. But he

:04:34. > :04:37.still had his free will. There was no threat to his life. She wasn't

:04:38. > :04:44.holding a knife to his belly or anything. He just wanted to please

:04:45. > :04:48.Jo. By 3.30 they were in Hereford, More CCTV pictures show Dennehy and

:04:49. > :04:55.Mark Lloyd buying tobacco. Still armed she sticks close to him in the

:04:56. > :05:01.shop. We walked into the shop, I think she is going to mug the girl.

:05:02. > :05:05.The till is opened. She asked the girl to turned around and commented

:05:06. > :05:09.on her backside. I felt we got through that one. I gave her the

:05:10. > :05:17.money. Come back in the car. I had to conVIPs these two I was `

:05:18. > :05:22.convince them I was on their side. But I thought how do I get them

:05:23. > :05:25.caught. He was right to be scared. Retired local fireman Robin Bereza

:05:26. > :05:28.had been walking his dog when Stretch spotted him a few hundred

:05:29. > :05:35.yards down the road. The 68`year`old was no match for Dennehy. I have

:05:36. > :05:42.seen a bloke walking with a dog. The second Gary said that, Jo is out the

:05:43. > :05:46.door and is all over him. 10 to 20 stab wounds. I'm in the car

:05:47. > :05:52.thinking, I'm screaming blue hell at Gary. He has turned around and

:05:53. > :05:57.gripped me very hard. She haz got in the car, got the knife and kissed

:05:58. > :06:03.Gary and said, thanks for that. But the next man's got to have a dog.

:06:04. > :06:07.Initial reports to the police were sketchy, but for one crucial detail

:06:08. > :06:13.about the attacker from the victim himself. What was key the was the

:06:14. > :06:19.information that he was able to give us that Joanna Dennehy had this

:06:20. > :06:23.tattoo on her cheek. Officers made the sewings between o' e `

:06:24. > :06:27.association between the earlier request from Cambridgeshire. As

:06:28. > :06:30.Superintendent Ivan Powell briefs his officers on the ground about the

:06:31. > :06:34.suspects, trauma doctor Nick Crombie is already flying to the stabbing

:06:35. > :06:41.scene in the air ambulance when a call comes through there has been

:06:42. > :06:45.another one. To get multiple casualties over a short period, the

:06:46. > :06:51.anxiety was that this would turn into a what we call a marauding

:06:52. > :06:57.event where somebody is repeatedly attacking more and more people and

:06:58. > :07:00.it starts to overwhelm the services available. The two attacks were nine

:07:01. > :07:04.minutes and only a few streets apart. 56`year`old John Rogers had

:07:05. > :07:11.been walking his dog and fitted the profile Dennehy wanted. Jo said, he

:07:12. > :07:15.will do. Gary parked by the bus stop. She walked up to him. The

:07:16. > :07:20.bloke has got his back to her and launched into him. I felt what I

:07:21. > :07:27.thought was a heavy punch in the small of me back. When I turned

:07:28. > :07:33.around, I saw this woman and she just kept stabbing me in the chest.

:07:34. > :07:38.This man did try to fight back. But it was a frenzy. Could you hear what

:07:39. > :07:47.she was saying? She was just saying, more, more, more. Got to do you some

:07:48. > :07:54.more. She said oh look, you're bleeding, I'd better do some more. I

:07:55. > :07:58.think I said, just leave me alone, please. Please leave me alope. But

:07:59. > :08:12.she `` alone. But she didn't, she just carried on. Both MEP were left

:08:13. > :08:16.for dead. Mr Rogers with almost 40 stab wounds. Dennehy even took Mr

:08:17. > :08:20.Roger's dog as a trophy. They drove off from Golden Post and parked up

:08:21. > :08:23.in an area of Hereford known as the Oval. By the time Dennehy, Stretch

:08:24. > :08:27.and Lloyd reached here Supt Lloyd had every officer on the ground he

:08:28. > :08:31.could muster. In the end she didn't make it that difficult for them. In

:08:32. > :08:34.fact, she casually went for a walk with John Rogers' dog, giving both

:08:35. > :08:37.Gary Stretch and Mark Lloyd the chance to bail out. At 4.10 armed

:08:38. > :08:45.police found her sitting alone in the car. She was arrested without a

:08:46. > :08:52.struggle, Mark Lloyd soon after. She got taken into the custody. I

:08:53. > :08:56.remember Jo, they asked if you have something to say, she broke into a

:08:57. > :09:08.tap dance and started singing, Singing in the Rain. That is the

:09:09. > :09:11.last I saw of her. At 4.50, Stretch gave himself up to armed officers in

:09:12. > :09:14.Almeley village 16 miles away. Dennehy's violent rampage was over

:09:15. > :09:18.half an hour after it began, but it was several days before Mr Bereza

:09:19. > :09:23.and Mr Rogers were out of danger. It's changed my outlook a bit in

:09:24. > :09:29.that you know... I think you've got to make everything of every day,

:09:30. > :09:34.because you don't know. You could wake up in the morning and get run

:09:35. > :09:43.down by a bus. You don't know what's around the corner. So I try to make

:09:44. > :09:48.the best of every day. Considering their horrific injuries both men

:09:49. > :09:51.have made a remarkable recovery. Police are still working to calm the

:09:52. > :09:58.fears Joanna Dennehy brought to Hereford. The sense that the

:09:59. > :10:02.investigation team have is that had Joanna Dennehy not been arrested

:10:03. > :10:08.when she was, she would have gone on to commit a further offence against

:10:09. > :10:15.somebody in the street in Hereford. Mark Lloyd still has nightmares

:10:16. > :10:20.about the serial killer. This whole episode sound like something out of

:10:21. > :10:25.some movie. Yes. I don't sleep at night any more. I'm just glad Jo

:10:26. > :10:32.pled guilty. I wasn't looking forward to seeing her in court.

:10:33. > :10:40.Joanna Dennehy appeared calm in custody. She has been diagnosed with

:10:41. > :10:45.a psychotic personality disorder. She admitted the murders. Stretch

:10:46. > :10:58.denied being her accomplice. But the jury found him guilty of attempted

:10:59. > :11:01.murder. Dennehy was due to be sentenced last Friday, but it was

:11:02. > :11:06.adjourned until later this month at the Old Bailey. But as she was being

:11:07. > :11:09.led from the dock she turned to the courtroom and said: "I'm sorry for

:11:10. > :11:12.the attempted murders, but I'm not sorry for the murders." Our

:11:13. > :11:15.colleagues on Midlands Today will keep you updated on the sentencing.

:11:16. > :11:19.It's been the biggest news story of the week ` floods. All across the

:11:20. > :11:23.Midlands people have prepared for the worst. And it's not over yet. So

:11:24. > :11:26.we decided to head out with SARA ` the Severn Area Rescue Association

:11:27. > :11:34.as they assist the emergency services and help flood victims this

:11:35. > :11:39.weekend. It's been the wettest winters on record and still more

:11:40. > :11:42.rain to come. Thousands of residents and business owners have been

:11:43. > :11:50.stranded and their homes destroyed by floods. The water has been here

:11:51. > :11:57.since Christmas Eve. It has to go somewhere and it goes here. It has

:11:58. > :12:00.been a stressful few days. SARA has been helping people whose lives have

:12:01. > :12:03.been turned upside down. The rescue teams are all volunteers and they've

:12:04. > :12:13.been running 24 hour operations seven days a week. It can be

:12:14. > :12:20.difficult at times. Early morning pagers and then you're in the water

:12:21. > :12:25.somewhere. We are working hard in horrendous situations for free. We

:12:26. > :12:31.are putting a lot of pressure on own families. My wife is pregnant and

:12:32. > :12:34.I'm doing this. The other lads are in similar situations. We've joined

:12:35. > :12:38.the team at Tewksbury over the weekend as they battle the water and

:12:39. > :12:42.the weather to help people in need. They've got three boats out

:12:43. > :12:47.patrolling flood plains. We're going over an area hauled The Ham. It is

:12:48. > :12:53.common land. We are actually going across a field and we have got as

:12:54. > :13:00.you can see... Well over the depth of this paddle. So we are going with

:13:01. > :13:06.caution in case we hit any obstruction. Because there are posts

:13:07. > :13:09.and manholes in the field. Today they're out delivering food parcels.

:13:10. > :13:15.Some of the residents have been under water for two months ` Ivan

:13:16. > :13:17.Counsell is one of them. I have got water and electricity, which is

:13:18. > :13:22.good. Should the electricity go, then it is probably time to leave.

:13:23. > :13:25.His wife has moved out, but he can't leave the property because he's

:13:26. > :13:28.scared of looters and is trying desperately to stem the water

:13:29. > :13:33.getting into the house. He's not sure how much longer he can last

:13:34. > :13:37.though. We have got river silt in here. It is disgusting. You can't

:13:38. > :13:43.live in this environment for long. There is nasty stuff in the water

:13:44. > :13:48.and it's in your house. Seen you again soon. Take care. We have got

:13:49. > :13:54.the first seven done. And it is the bottom three or four to go. But

:13:55. > :13:58.there's one resident Station Commander Tom Keeling is worried

:13:59. > :14:01.about. He's an elderly gentleman who's been stranded in his flooded

:14:02. > :14:06.property for eight weeks. They haven't visited him for seven days

:14:07. > :14:11.and want to check he's OK. Our crew saw him a week ago and reported he

:14:12. > :14:17.was slightly confused and a bit uncertain about what is going on. He

:14:18. > :14:24.is very isolated. He does have some health issues. And we believe he is

:14:25. > :14:39.probably surrounded by flood for eight weeks.

:14:40. > :14:45.Brian! Tom bumps into a neighbour, and he has got an update. He has

:14:46. > :14:52.been there for two months, he came out, he is awkward. He does not want

:14:53. > :14:56.to leave his house. Much to their relief, Karen, his daughter, she

:14:57. > :15:05.says he has moved in with a friend and is safe. He was persuaded to

:15:06. > :15:08.come out on Thursday. Fortunately, he is staying with neighbours.

:15:09. > :15:14.Without them, I do not know he would go. Sometimes it is a relief on

:15:15. > :15:20.their faces when they see that help is here. That is enough for you. It

:15:21. > :15:25.makes your job worthwhile. The team cannot hang around, an emergency

:15:26. > :15:31.call has come in, and the water levels in a nearby house arising and

:15:32. > :15:34.the owners have made a desperate call to be rescued. We have been

:15:35. > :15:40.invaded since the beginning of the year. I have got a pump system going

:15:41. > :15:47.and we kept winning little battles, and I thought, I am determined to

:15:48. > :15:54.win the war. But we lost it, we sort of realised about a week ago that it

:15:55. > :15:59.was no good any more. He has given up the battle. He and his wife are

:16:00. > :16:03.leaving. We were petrified, because when the pump went out for a few

:16:04. > :16:09.minutes, we kept a water table in the house, and when the pump fails,

:16:10. > :16:14.the water was rising. In five minutes, it rose seven inches in the

:16:15. > :16:19.house. Local pub owner Sam is also losing the battle against the water.

:16:20. > :16:24.Tom and the team are helping her to get back into town. Normally, this

:16:25. > :16:28.is a five`minute drive, but life has been anything but normal. There has

:16:29. > :16:33.got to be light at the end of the tunnel. The last few days, we have

:16:34. > :16:36.had a lot of support, and Tewkesbury Council yesterday, they were on the

:16:37. > :16:41.telephone to offer support, that is the first time that has happened. It

:16:42. > :16:45.is much appreciated. Hopefully it will peak today and we can get back

:16:46. > :16:49.with cleaning things up. They have offered us total support, they made

:16:50. > :16:53.all of the links with everyone for us, and without them, initially, we

:16:54. > :16:59.would not have any contact with any of the authorities at all. It has

:17:00. > :17:02.been a busy weekend and the team haven't stopped. With a busy

:17:03. > :17:09.weekend, and Arab busy weather forecast, there is more to come. We

:17:10. > :17:13.are hoping that the welfare and routine aspects this week will

:17:14. > :17:17.quieten down to allow the guys to get back to work and recharge their

:17:18. > :17:21.batteries, just in case we are faced with further adverse weather in the

:17:22. > :17:25.near future. All of our families are looking forward to seeing us all

:17:26. > :17:31.back, especially on Sunday, there are a few that might get home for

:17:32. > :17:35.Sunday dinner, you never know. But for the residents, another week of

:17:36. > :17:40.misery and uncertainty, but one thing is for certain, the rescue

:17:41. > :17:48.team will be on search 24/ seven, seven days a week.

:17:49. > :17:50.Impressive work for the volunteers, and my heart goes out to those

:17:51. > :17:56.people still struggling with the floodwaters.

:17:57. > :18:00.Dave works with the Environment Agency, and we caught up with him to

:18:01. > :18:05.find out the prediction for the rest of the week. I suppose, that thing

:18:06. > :18:10.is, even if the forecast looks a bit better for the next week or so, it

:18:11. > :18:17.is the after`effects from all of the rain? Yes, we call it a recovery, in

:18:18. > :18:20.silver, and, we have spoken about it a lot. People will be stranded in

:18:21. > :18:24.the flood plains, their houses may not be flooded, but they are cut off

:18:25. > :18:29.by flood water. There are issues like debris to deal with, we have to

:18:30. > :18:34.inspect the defensive, have they held up as well as they should have

:18:35. > :18:40.done? There is probably one month worth of activity still to be done.

:18:41. > :18:43.The chances of you getting a day of you getting a day off are what? IMed

:18:44. > :18:49.you to finish tomorrow to go to London with the family, so I hope to

:18:50. > :18:55.get a couple of days. Good luck with that! Thank you! You're watching

:18:56. > :18:58.Inside Out for the West Midlands and last tonight a story which some of

:18:59. > :19:01.you may find upsetting but an important story to tell. Female

:19:02. > :19:08.genital mutilation or more commonly known as FGM is illegal in Britain.

:19:09. > :19:11.It's also illegal to take British children abroad for the procedure,

:19:12. > :19:21.but our investigation shows just how easy it can be to do exactly that.

:19:22. > :19:27.It's half term at Birmingham Airport and hundreds of families are on the

:19:28. > :19:30.move. The first time I went to the airport I was kind of excited, I

:19:31. > :19:34.guess. Everything was just bright and dazzling and big. My name is

:19:35. > :19:41.Nasim Ahmed My ethnic background is Somali. As a kid, I loved going on

:19:42. > :19:46.holiday, but for some girls in my community, it's more like going to

:19:47. > :19:50.hell. They're going to be cut. That's what people call FGM or

:19:51. > :19:53.female genital mutilation. It's not talked about much, especially in

:19:54. > :20:00.communities like mine where it still goes on. But that's exactly why I

:20:01. > :20:05.want to talk about it. There's no need to sugar coat things I think

:20:06. > :20:14.with a big topic like FGM. It's good to always say how it is and tell it

:20:15. > :20:19.like as you see it, kind of thing. So let me start by telling you what

:20:20. > :20:22.it is. It involves removing a girl's external genitals or part of them,

:20:23. > :20:27.yeah, not nice, but what's that like? I'm on my way to meet someone

:20:28. > :20:32.who knows. I'm feeling pretty nervous about meeting someone who's

:20:33. > :20:50.actually had it done. But I'm kind of eager to find out what they went

:20:51. > :20:54.through and how they actually felt. Safia was born in Somalia and when

:20:55. > :20:57.she was ten went through the terrifying experience. The guy came

:20:58. > :21:05.in the house and I remember... Holding me. My legs. And then the

:21:06. > :21:10.guy came and do that thing. Cut it off. Safia's injuries made her own

:21:11. > :21:18.children's birth more difficult but she still counts herself lucky. My

:21:19. > :21:25.cousin, she had FGM like same time as me. And then she just passed

:21:26. > :21:40.away. She was bleeding a lot, she lost it, yeah. How old was she? Nine

:21:41. > :21:43.years old. What happened to Safia's cousin isn't just horrible, it's

:21:44. > :21:47.against the law in Britain. It has been for almost 30 years. So what's

:21:48. > :21:50.going on? Birmingham and Solihull Women's Aid Group works with the

:21:51. > :21:52.communities still doing it. Here in Birmingham for instance we've got

:21:53. > :21:55.Eritreans, Gambians, Sudanese, Nigerians, Egyptians, there's a

:21:56. > :22:01.whole host of communities here that will be practicing FGM. It has

:22:02. > :22:05.terrible health consequences, can lead to death, but it can also lead

:22:06. > :22:14.to lifelong physical and emotional pain. What I don't understand is if

:22:15. > :22:18.it's against the law why hasn't someone stopped it? Most girls are

:22:19. > :22:21.taken abroad to get it done, but when they come back it's hospitals

:22:22. > :22:24.like the Heartlands in Birmingham and midwives like Alison who deal

:22:25. > :22:28.with the fall`out. Sometimes it might be the first time that this

:22:29. > :22:31.lady's even thought about her own mutilation. When she's asked in

:22:32. > :22:34.pregnancy, it might be the first time anyone's even mentioned those

:22:35. > :22:38.words to her and it does bring back a lot of very unfortunate memories.

:22:39. > :22:42.And this is sometimes where the psychological issues raise their

:22:43. > :22:46.head there. In pregnancy. The midwives and myself at the clinic

:22:47. > :22:49.have to deal with that. Education is really important, it's a paramount

:22:50. > :22:56.part of being able to tackle this issue both with communities and with

:22:57. > :23:00.professionals. So if education is what it's all about, how come most

:23:01. > :23:04.schools don't teach it? The NSPCC says some teachers don't even know

:23:05. > :23:07.what it is. But Sarah does. She used to be a teacher. Now she helps other

:23:08. > :23:12.teachers on the NSPCC's FGM helpline. I think all my calls have

:23:13. > :23:15.been from teachers who are concerned. Not sure whether it's

:23:16. > :23:19.something to be worried about, but need to talk it through with someone

:23:20. > :23:27.and as with all forms of abuse, the message is always don't wait until

:23:28. > :23:31.you're certain. So if the teachers need teaching, who's teaching them?

:23:32. > :23:34.I've come to a school in Bristol where people my age are doing the

:23:35. > :23:40.teaching and teachers like Hazel are doing the listening. Yep, that's me

:23:41. > :23:48.joining in on the stage. So how do you guys think today went? Amazing,

:23:49. > :23:51.we were having a good discussion. What FGM was, how we can help these

:23:52. > :23:55.girls if they're going through something like this. Talk about it

:23:56. > :23:59.more often in schools in assemblies like. What the girls my age are

:24:00. > :24:03.saying seems to make sense. That's why Hazel who runs a Birmingham

:24:04. > :24:06.school came to listen, and she's got worries of her own. Recently in

:24:07. > :24:10.school, we've been having some concerns around the time that some

:24:11. > :24:13.children are having out of school, particularly the younger children

:24:14. > :24:18.sort of aged six, seven, eight and talking to social services. But more

:24:19. > :24:21.particularly, the police. We began to gather some information that

:24:22. > :24:23.maybe children were having time out not just for holidays, maybe

:24:24. > :24:30.something was happening in their lives that gave us great concern.

:24:31. > :24:34.What Hazel says isn't just shocking, it's suddenly made FGM seem much

:24:35. > :24:42.more real. But if girls from her school are having it done, where are

:24:43. > :24:48.they going? In Singapore, a type of FGM called sunat is still legal.

:24:49. > :24:51.Could British kids end up here? I'm calling some clinics there to find

:24:52. > :24:57.out, pretending I've got my own daughter. Hello, I'm calling from

:24:58. > :25:07.the UK, I was wondering if you provide sunat to girls? To girls,

:25:08. > :25:13.yes we do. OK and my daughter is British is that all right? Yes, it's

:25:14. > :25:17.all right. So, after just one call, I've found a clinic that'll do it

:25:18. > :25:22.and it says it doesn't matter that I'm British. A second clinic gives

:25:23. > :25:25.me a price. The cost will be 35 dollars That's just ?17. But it's

:25:26. > :25:33.the third clinic that makes me really angry. It says it can remove

:25:34. > :25:37.most of my daughter's genitals. Can. It's possible we can do, but you

:25:38. > :25:40.need to come down to see the doctor, we can't spoke over the phone.

:25:41. > :25:45.That's really shocked me. I've called six clinics. Three of them

:25:46. > :25:49.say they'll do it. The woman didn't seem like she cared at all about

:25:50. > :25:57.where I'm from, who I was what I wanted. She didn't even seem to care

:25:58. > :26:08.that I was British. But I'm not the only one shocked by our calls. I

:26:09. > :26:11.think it's really worrying. What I heard was a very serious child

:26:12. > :26:15.protection concern. It's against the law for any child to be taken out of

:26:16. > :26:19.the UK to have FGM carried out abroad so that's information that we

:26:20. > :26:22.really would want to be sharing with the Met police for them to share

:26:23. > :26:24.with law enforcement internationally. It's hard to listen

:26:25. > :26:28.to. It's reckoned 20,000 British girls are at risk every year, so how

:26:29. > :26:32.come no one's been done for it? Alison Saunders is the right person

:26:33. > :26:36.to ask. She's the director of public prosecution. It is very difficult to

:26:37. > :26:39.prosecute because people don't come forward so it normally happens to

:26:40. > :26:43.young girls, they're in a family where they don't want to get the

:26:44. > :26:47.family into trouble, they don't know that they can talk about it, they

:26:48. > :26:50.don't know what's going to happen to them beforehand so it's really

:26:51. > :26:53.difficult to get the evidence to prosecute. But I think that with the

:26:54. > :26:55.awareness raising, with people talking about it, with education and

:26:56. > :26:59.health specialists knowing they should report any concerns that they

:27:00. > :27:04.have, I think that will help us get towards a prosecution. That makes me

:27:05. > :27:08.think what these teenagers are doing is even more important and they want

:27:09. > :27:14.every school in the Midlands to copy their idea. Fahma is a mate of mine

:27:15. > :27:18.and part of the project. Two weeks ago, she set up a petition asking

:27:19. > :27:22.the man in charge of schools Michael Gove to teach all kids about it.

:27:23. > :27:25.Michael Gove cannot ignore us anymore, by seeing the signatures

:27:26. > :27:30.and seeing how many people care about this. I'm glad its people my

:27:31. > :27:41.age leading the fight because I think my generation can help stop

:27:42. > :27:45.it. The future is in our hands and it's important that we kind of start

:27:46. > :27:50.from the bottom and then build it up. Oh, and guess what? My mate

:27:51. > :27:57.Fahma's petition has collected almost 200,000 signatures already.

:27:58. > :27:58.Not bad in a fortnight. She hoped it would get Michael Gove to listen.

:27:59. > :28:10.Now he's agreed to meet her. Result! A difficult story to hear, I know,

:28:11. > :28:14.but maybe you've been affected by some of the issues in our film. If

:28:15. > :28:22.so go to our website for more information. But that's it from me

:28:23. > :28:27.from a flooded Worcester. Email me though if you've got a story I

:28:28. > :28:37.should know about. I'll see you next time, thanks for watching.

:28:38. > :28:46.Mary and the team are back next week when they will be investigating what

:28:47. > :28:51.happens when tad too is go wrong. I want a Chinese writing, that is my

:28:52. > :28:56.name with Chinese with the sun around it, but a Chinese friend said

:28:57. > :29:05.it didn't say what I thought. That is 7:30pm on Monday on BBC One.

:29:06. > :29:09.Hello, I'm Sam Naz with your 90 second update.

:29:10. > :29:13.An independent Scotland can keep the pound. That's the message from First

:29:14. > :29:17.Minister Alex Salmond who insists it's better for UK business. He

:29:18. > :29:21.accused Westminster parties of bullying for ruling out a shared

:29:22. > :29:24.currency. Full story at Ten. Ten million pounds is being promised

:29:25. > :29:28.by the PM to help small business hit by recent storms. Severe flood

:29:29. > :29:31.warnings on the Thames have been downgraded, but experts say water

:29:32. > :29:35.levels could rise again. A co-pilot from Ethiopian Airlines

:29:36. > :29:38.has hijacked his own plane. He took control when the other pilot went to

:29:39. > :29:42.the toilet. He asked for asylum after landing in Switzerland.

:29:43. > :29:44.He's set to become Italy's youngest-ever prime minister.

:29:45. > :29:49.39-year-old Matteo Renzi is promising many reforms. He's mayor

:29:50. > :29:50.of Florence - but has never been an MP.

:29:51. > :29:54.We've got tablets, smartphones and laptops. But nine-out-of-ten of us

:29:55. > :29:56.still prefer the TV. New figures suggest we watch nearly four hours a

:29:57. > :30:03.day - slightly less than in 2012. Hello, I'm Shefali Oza with the

:30:04. > :30:04.Midlands update. Flooding continues to cause problems
