:01:49. > :01:50.the city's children's services The department has been branded

:01:51. > :01:57.a "national disgrace" by Ofsted. In the last 10 years there have been

:01:58. > :01:59.28 serious case reviews into the failure of the authorities

:02:00. > :02:05.to monitor children at risk. These are just four of the lives cut

:02:06. > :02:08.short, all of them known Even this year a review

:02:09. > :02:14.was ordered into the case of 18-month old Keegan Downer

:02:28. > :02:33.Birmingham social services, including seven-year-old Kyra Ishak,

:02:34. > :02:37.starved to death. They were all known to social workers. Toddler

:02:38. > :02:44.Keegan Downer is the latest child to have died. She suffered 153 injuries

:02:45. > :02:48.inflicted by her legal guardian. The serious case review into her death,

:02:49. > :02:53.to be published this summer, will be the 28th to be held in Birmingham in

:02:54. > :02:58.the past decade. In the future, safeguarding children like her in

:02:59. > :03:02.the city will be carried out by a new organisation, but in the family

:03:03. > :03:07.and friends of those let down, there is a feeling changes should have

:03:08. > :03:11.come sooner. I think it's too late. I think it should have been done way

:03:12. > :03:17.before. No one is standing up and having responsibility. The children

:03:18. > :03:21.services department has been under scrutiny since 2009, when it was

:03:22. > :03:26.first placed in special measures after being branded inadequate by

:03:27. > :03:29.Ofsted inspectors. Changes have been made but the Department for

:03:30. > :03:34.Education said today they hadn't gone far or fast enough. Are you

:03:35. > :03:37.confident that with this move, children will now be safe in

:03:38. > :03:43.Birmingham, the vulnerable who need to be protected? We have come along

:03:44. > :03:47.well but we haven't gone far enough, that is why we are looking at the

:03:48. > :03:51.trust model specifically so we can provide the best to the children and

:03:52. > :03:55.families that were right on us. So will this model makes a difference,

:03:56. > :03:59.are you confident vulnerable children will be protected in

:04:00. > :04:02.Birmingham? I think there are exciting opportunities to make

:04:03. > :04:07.children safer in Birmingham. Birmingham City Council says the

:04:08. > :04:10.move to place the safeguarding of young children and adults into a

:04:11. > :04:15.trust was voluntary. This expert believes more councils could follow

:04:16. > :04:23.suit. The government's agenda is to move these services out of local

:04:24. > :04:26.councils. This services of social work generally, I think Birmingham

:04:27. > :04:30.has found itself somewhat cornered in terms of the difficulties it has

:04:31. > :04:36.got, and it's the next local authority that is taking the action.

:04:37. > :04:40.Today's news has come as a shock to be 700 social workers based here at

:04:41. > :04:44.Birmingham City Council. I have seen an e-mail sent by bosses just this

:04:45. > :04:50.morning telling them of the changes. The information is scant, but we are

:04:51. > :04:54.told that staff will be consulted. These children paid the highest

:04:55. > :04:57.price for the Department's failings. There is an expectation that the

:04:58. > :05:03.voluntary trust will have its work cut out.

:05:04. > :05:09.I'm joined by our social affairs correspondent. The bottom line is,

:05:10. > :05:14.our children going to be safer? These plans are at an early stage so

:05:15. > :05:18.there is an awful lot we don't know. What will be seen as one of the

:05:19. > :05:24.advantages of this model is it could give a clean break from the past,

:05:25. > :05:29.allowing the council, allowing children services to cut through

:05:30. > :05:34.what has in the past been described as a dysfunctional culture within

:05:35. > :05:39.children's services. It allows the bringing in of experts from outside

:05:40. > :05:41.who have the sole focus of concentrating on improving

:05:42. > :05:47.children's services, and they can be set tough targets which they need to

:05:48. > :05:51.meet for change. But there a flip side, on the ground, you got to see

:05:52. > :05:58.real change for the many families in Birmingham who need support. And

:05:59. > :06:02.change, we can never guarantee what it'll bring. So people will be

:06:03. > :06:05.watching this very carefully and the real test will be whether or not

:06:06. > :06:06.there is genuine improvement for children who need protection. Thank

:23:10. > :23:17.would put it "liberating" Raqqa. Can Beanie took months of fighting to

:23:18. > :23:23.liberate Islamic State with overwhelming American air power. The

:23:24. > :23:27.Islamic State have build tunnels and defences in the city. We won't see

:24:16. > :24:19.You know, it varied, you're practicing.

:24:20. > :24:22.You know, because you were breaking from your life-long friends.

:24:23. > :24:33.And, you know, it was great at first and then after a while it was...

:24:34. > :24:42.# I'm trying to make it back home by Monday...#.

:24:43. > :24:44.I'd be sitting around and just, sort of...

:24:45. > :24:49.They were recording everything, on the iPhone, you know.

:24:50. > :24:53.So just doing this and doing chords, you know.

:25:35. > :25:37.So you can almost write songs immediately if you just.

:25:38. > :25:39.# Well, you're going to tell me baby.

:25:40. > :25:50.Then if you move that whole shape-up, now you've got D minor,

:25:51. > :25:54.Well, that's more than enough chords, you know, to write

:25:55. > :25:58.That's what I think would be a good...
