:00:05. > :00:15.Anne Davies and me, Dominic Heale. Tonight - the death of teenager
:00:15. > :00:18.
:00:18. > :00:24.Hannah Smith. Now firms pull their adverts from the ask-fm website.
:00:24. > :00:29.Hannah's father says the website should face a manslaughter charge.
:00:29. > :00:39.They just don't care that teenagers are dying and killing themselves. It
:00:39. > :00:40.
:00:40. > :00:43.can't be right. The ambulance crews paid a �35 daily
:00:43. > :00:49.allowance. And the cyclist knocked off his bike
:00:49. > :00:58.as he lay in the road. You just knocked me off my bike! Are you
:00:58. > :01:08.stupid? ! And how fake cigarettes are killing
:01:08. > :01:09.
:01:09. > :01:14.Welcome to Thursday's programme. First tonight, the death of
:01:15. > :01:17.schoolgirl Hannah Smith, a victim of internet bullies known as "trolls".
:01:18. > :01:23.The Prime Minister joined the debate today, urging parents and children
:01:23. > :01:26.to boycott offensive social media. In another development tonight,
:01:26. > :01:33.major companies are withdrawing their adverts from ask.fm, the
:01:33. > :01:37.website at the centre of the tragedy.
:01:37. > :01:41.More on that shortly but first, live to Luttwerworth, Hannah's home town.
:01:41. > :01:51.Our reporter Eleanor Garnier is there. Eleanor, Hannah's father has
:01:51. > :01:52.
:01:52. > :01:56.some very strong words for ask.fm. Yes, he has. Right from the start
:01:56. > :02:02.Hannah's father has blamed this website, saying the only reason she
:02:02. > :02:08.took her own life was because of the abuse she was getting online. It was
:02:08. > :02:13.a few streets away that last Friday, her body was found by her sister.
:02:14. > :02:19.Speaking to the daily Mirror, her father has said that those who are
:02:19. > :02:23.behind this website should be punished for what has happened.
:02:23. > :02:29.Personally, I think the people that run ask.fm should get done for
:02:29. > :02:35.manslaughter or murder because you tried contacting them and they just
:02:35. > :02:44.don't care. They don't care that teenagers are killing themselves. It
:02:44. > :02:51.can't be right. The Prime Minister has responded today. He urged people
:02:51. > :02:55.to boycott what he is calling file websites. There is also a fresh
:02:55. > :03:01.warning for parents, telling them to watch their children closely and
:03:01. > :03:08.keep an eye out for any signs of cyber-bullying.
:03:08. > :03:14.While Hannah's family mourns, there are calls for actions. The people
:03:14. > :03:24.that run this website, these websites, have to clean up their
:03:24. > :03:30.act. If you incite violence, that is a crime. Those people can be chased.
:03:31. > :03:36.If the websites don't clean up their acts, we have got to stop using
:03:36. > :03:42.these particular websites. As these teenagers browse the ask.fm website,
:03:42. > :03:48.they can see how quickly the girl is giving away information. People can
:03:48. > :03:51.like what people have said and that makes you feel even worse because
:03:51. > :03:57.someone says something offensive to you and other people are backing
:03:57. > :04:03.them up, you are in a corner. scary because everyone can see
:04:03. > :04:07.everything, it is not anonymous. A lot of it is private. We are
:04:07. > :04:11.strangers and we can see all of this. There are probably people out
:04:11. > :04:19.there who could do anything with this information. The teenagers are
:04:19. > :04:25.spending the week volunteering for a list of charity. Some of the work it
:04:25. > :04:30.does is teaching children about online risks. I know of a boy on
:04:31. > :04:35.ask.fm, whose father recently passed away and a lot of people have been
:04:35. > :04:42.saying some horrible comments and it has had a huge impact on him because
:04:42. > :04:45.he does not come out a lot now. used to have my Facebook on private
:04:45. > :04:55.and I was a bit shocked that people from other countries could approach
:04:55. > :04:55.
:04:55. > :05:01.me. These are some of the messages on ask.fm today. I randomly clicked
:05:01. > :05:08.on your profile. You are very pretty. One user is asking a girl to
:05:08. > :05:18.upload a picture of her in a bikini. For a few people, being bullied
:05:18. > :05:18.
:05:18. > :05:26.online can cost them their lives. There is also an advertising exodus
:05:26. > :05:31.going on tonight from ask.fm. Major companies have been announcing
:05:31. > :05:39.they are withdrawing advertising from the website. EBay, BT, Spec
:05:39. > :05:44.Savers, save the children. It says it puts the welfare of children
:05:44. > :05:49.first and as a result of the tragic case of hand out we no longer
:05:49. > :05:58.advertise on ask.fm. We have also had bad statement from ask.fm this
:05:58. > :06:04.afternoon. -- had a statement. It has reiterated that Hannah's death
:06:04. > :06:09.is a tragedy. It says it does not condone bullying. It also states
:06:09. > :06:16.that although users can post messages anonymously, in most cases
:06:16. > :06:21.it is possible to trace those users and that it says in this week of
:06:21. > :06:26.extreme circumstances it is working hard to get that information and
:06:26. > :06:32.give it to the relevant authorities. Perhaps that may provide a glimmer
:06:32. > :06:36.of hope for Hannah's father and his wish that people will be prosecuted
:06:36. > :06:40.and face criminal charges over his daughter's death.
:06:40. > :06:45.One MP has accused the government of not doing enough to tackle the
:06:45. > :06:49.problem on online bullying. Barry Sheerman co-chairs the Skills
:06:49. > :06:56.Committee which discusses education in parliament. Earlier I asked him
:06:56. > :07:03.what action he wanted the government to take. What I'm suggesting today
:07:03. > :07:08.is that we set up a commission on cyber-bullying. Only a year ago many
:07:08. > :07:16.of us were terribly worried about stalking. We formed a commission on
:07:16. > :07:20.stalking. We took the willing evidence. We wrote recommendations.
:07:20. > :07:26.The government and the Prime Minister accepted them. We have
:07:26. > :07:36.changed the law and now there are severe penalties for any kind of
:07:36. > :07:38.stalking so you can have success, but let's build it on reason and
:07:38. > :07:42.taking evidence. So I have been suggesting we set up a cross-party
:07:42. > :07:48.commission on cyber-bullying, take evidence and come up with serious
:07:48. > :07:54.proposals. A lot of these websites allow anonymity and talking to
:07:54. > :07:58.people, we can have a dialogue with these people about stopping the
:07:58. > :08:02.possibility of being anonymous and that gives you the possibility, not
:08:02. > :08:08.only exposure of who you are, but also leaves you to the possibility
:08:08. > :08:12.of prosecution for what you have set and the damage you have caused.
:08:12. > :08:17.Thank you very much indeed. Next tonight, the ambulance crews
:08:18. > :08:20.from the East Midlands sleeping in tents on a campsite. The workers are
:08:20. > :08:26.employed by a private ambulance company to cover shifts in
:08:26. > :08:28.Cambridgeshire and have a daily bed and board allowance of �35. The
:08:28. > :08:38.company says it always provides suitable financial support and crews
:08:38. > :08:43.aren't at risk. Sally Chidzoy reports.
:08:43. > :08:47.Nestled in a shaded spot near Huntington is a content which is
:08:47. > :08:52.home to a man who works on the medical front line. The ambulance
:08:52. > :08:58.worker has left this tent behind for a week because he has returned home
:08:58. > :09:03.to the Midlands but he is due back this weekend. Holiday-makers admit
:09:03. > :09:08.they were disc -- surprised that paramedics were sleeping in tents in
:09:08. > :09:13.their fields. We had no idea until we saw one of them come back quite
:09:13. > :09:20.late one evening, make themselves a cup of tea and go straight to bed.
:09:20. > :09:25.The East of England ambulance service NHS trust has contracts with
:09:25. > :09:30.six private companies. An NHS ambulance worker thinks he thinks it
:09:30. > :09:36.is hard for them to find cheap accommodation and all meals on a
:09:36. > :09:45.daily allowance of �35. I fail to see how you can travel from another
:09:45. > :09:55.trust area and have a hotel room or anything like that. The company says
:09:55. > :10:05.
:10:05. > :10:08.they provide above average 50 an hour, say cost is behind the
:10:08. > :10:11.decision to camp. Earlier I spoke to our reporter
:10:11. > :10:17.Sally Chidzoy from our Cambridge studio. She told me where the
:10:17. > :10:23.ambulance staff mainly come from. The majority come from the
:10:23. > :10:28.Nottingham area at one comes from as far afield as Sheffield. They come
:10:28. > :10:33.to Cambridgeshire in their cars, pitch up their tents and join the
:10:33. > :10:39.ambulance is at a hospital base. To know what the workers think of
:10:39. > :10:41.this? It has been pretty tough for them in
:10:41. > :10:48.the soaring temperatures recently and one holiday-maker said they
:10:48. > :10:54.could not get themselves to two o'clock in the morning to sleep so
:10:54. > :10:59.clearly it will be difficult. The GMB union issued a press release
:10:59. > :11:08.this afternoon and they said they wanted to find answers to a number
:11:09. > :11:12.of questions. First of all they said they wanted ERS to directly pay for
:11:12. > :11:18.proper accommodation and food that the workers need for their shifts.
:11:18. > :11:24.They wanted to know how the staff kept their uniforms cleaned to aid
:11:24. > :11:27.infection control and how did they keep drugs secure. A lot of
:11:27. > :11:31.questions and ERS are yet to answer those.
:11:31. > :11:34.Still to come - stunning images of a fly-past by Boeing's new Dreamliner
:11:34. > :11:37.passenger aircraft. The aircraft flew over Derby's Rolls Royce
:11:37. > :11:45.factory - a mark of the relationship between Boeing and the aero-engine
:11:45. > :11:50.maker that goes back almost a century.
:11:50. > :11:56.Plenty of sunny and bright weather to enjoy over the next few days. It
:11:56. > :12:00.doesn't mean it will be blue skies, very wet start tomorrow morning, but
:12:00. > :12:10.it will brighten again and the sunshine will return. Full details
:12:10. > :12:25.
:12:25. > :12:28.later in the programme. One in four corner shops in the East
:12:28. > :12:31.Midlands could be forced to close because they're being undercut by
:12:31. > :12:34.tobacco smugglers. New figures show the proportion of fake or illegally
:12:34. > :12:37.imported cigarettes in the region is the highest outside of London. The
:12:37. > :12:42.Tobacco Retailers Alliance says the money being lost means more shops
:12:42. > :12:49.are having to cut staff hours or axe jobs completely. Illegal cigarettes
:12:49. > :12:54.and tobacco. A survey indicates a quarter of corner shop owners in the
:12:54. > :13:03.East Midlands are considering reducing staff or closing due to
:13:03. > :13:07.people shopping overseas and tobaccos smuggling. 35 of 40% of the
:13:07. > :13:13.total takings at the weekend for me is tobacco sales and the trend and
:13:13. > :13:23.sales are going down and down. The child is we will not be able to
:13:23. > :13:31.survive. A quarter of cigarettes were found to be counterfeit last
:13:31. > :13:38.year in the region, up from 16% the previous year. Only London now has a
:13:38. > :13:41.higher proportion of non-UK duty-paid smoking products. HMRC are
:13:41. > :13:47.constantly fighting this battle but what can honest retailers do to
:13:47. > :13:54.help? We try to work with HMRC to coordinate to bring these people to
:13:54. > :13:59.justice. It is difficult and we can do with all the intelligence and if
:13:59. > :14:04.they know there are people round the corner selling, let us know.
:14:04. > :14:08.HMRC says the size of the illegal tobacco market is shrinking
:14:08. > :14:13.nationally and it is working with local government agencies to try to
:14:13. > :14:19.eradicate the problem permanently, and retailers say this can't come
:14:19. > :14:23.soon enough. Hospital managers in Leicester are
:14:23. > :14:27.to advertise on buses and trains for nurses to try to fill a massive
:14:27. > :14:31.shortfall in staff. The local NHS trust says its investing two million
:14:31. > :14:35.pounds in nursing but it means there are now around 300 vacancies in the
:14:35. > :14:39.city alone. Bosses admit they are struggling to fill them and they
:14:39. > :14:43.have already recruited nurses from Europe. They say adverts will appear
:14:43. > :14:46.on public transport in the next few weeks.
:14:46. > :14:51.A team of trouble-shooters has been brought in to take over the running
:14:51. > :14:54.of a Nottinghamshire school. The county council's taken control of
:14:54. > :14:58.Burton Joyce Primary after Ofsted inspectors placed it in special
:14:58. > :15:01.measures this summer. A temporary management board has been put in
:15:01. > :15:04.place. Last November, its head teacher was suspended following
:15:04. > :15:07.concerns over the way the school was run.
:15:07. > :15:11.Plans to build a permanent Richard III exhibition in Leicester have
:15:11. > :15:13.been approved by the city council. They involve converting the old
:15:13. > :15:16.grammar school building on Greyfriars into a multi-million
:15:16. > :15:19.pound visitor centre. Interactive displays will show how King
:15:19. > :15:24.Richard's remains were discovered and visitors will also be able to
:15:24. > :15:30.view the grave. The plans still need government backing. Work is expected
:15:30. > :15:34.to start at the end of the month. A cyclist who was knocked off his
:15:35. > :15:38.bike by a car heading to a funeral says he's unhappy with the way it
:15:38. > :15:42.was dealt with by Nottinghamshire Police. As the rider lay on the
:15:42. > :15:46.ground, he was verbally abused by people from the car that knocked him
:15:46. > :15:54.down. The cyclist has now posted video footage from his helmet camera
:15:54. > :15:59.onto the internet. Funeral cars passed the cyclist and
:15:59. > :16:05.then he says he signals to turn right. What he doesn't know is
:16:05. > :16:11.another private car is also heading to the funeral. Are you stupid, do
:16:11. > :16:17.you have a death wish? ! The driver was found to be at fault and
:16:17. > :16:21.attended a driver alertness course. The woman was cautioned for a public
:16:21. > :16:31.order offence. But a Nottingham Shimla -- Nottinghamshire police
:16:31. > :16:35.
:16:35. > :16:45.funeral cars go past, the cyclist was unhappy. Nottinghamshire police
:16:45. > :16:51.
:16:51. > :16:54.help firms in the East Midlands expand.
:16:54. > :17:01.�17.5 million from the EU and the government targeted at 100 firms
:17:01. > :17:06.with the best innovative ideas. Sounds impressive. But it has
:17:06. > :17:13.emerged that it will initially only create 300 jobs. That works out at
:17:13. > :17:18.�58,000 each. Here's our political editor John Hess.
:17:18. > :17:24.Chris knows the valley of EU grants. He's left the company
:17:24. > :17:28.secured funding for new capital kit and it transformed his business.
:17:28. > :17:34.needed fairly big investment and we got a �90,000 grant from Europe,
:17:34. > :17:40.which really got us going. Now from an office in Leicester, there is a
:17:40. > :17:46.new pot of funding from the EU and its regional growth fund. It is
:17:46. > :17:52.handled by a private firm. primary incentive is they have a
:17:52. > :17:58.project they have not been able to do and this money will help them do
:17:58. > :18:03.quicker, faster. �7 million comes from the EU and 10.5 million from
:18:03. > :18:09.the regional growth fund. This company allocates a share to three
:18:09. > :18:15.local enterprise partnerships and they then distribute the cash to the
:18:15. > :18:20.100 successful bidding companies. A jobs bonanza? Not necessarily.
:18:20. > :18:25.are looking to credit over 300 jobs with this piece of funding. That
:18:25. > :18:29.doesn't sound an awful lot? doesn't but you have to bear in mind
:18:29. > :18:36.that a lot of these projects are likely to be capital investment,
:18:36. > :18:40.pieces of equipment and expansion to a factory. We are pretty close at
:18:40. > :18:46.making our first three investments and we are looking at manufacturing
:18:46. > :18:53.and engineering. They range from 50,000 up to potentially half a
:18:53. > :18:59.million. �58,000 for each new job created, is it worth it or will the
:18:59. > :19:05.funding put our businesses back into the driving seat?
:19:05. > :19:09.It is now time for the sport. Colin has been at Trent Bridge.
:19:09. > :19:14.I have news of a massive cup draw for Notts County on the way, stay
:19:14. > :19:17.tuned. But tonight's action is all about cricket's T20 competition.
:19:17. > :19:23.Notts Outlaws stormed into the quarterfinals as winners of their
:19:23. > :19:28.group and tonight they face Essex Eagles for a place at finals day.
:19:28. > :19:38.Weather and Ashes fever have brought big crowds to Trent Bridge. The
:19:38. > :19:45.
:19:45. > :19:51.It is probably the most explosive batting line-up we have been able to
:19:51. > :19:55.put together. We feel confident. job is to set the tone at the top of
:19:55. > :20:05.the order and that confidence rubs off on to the other batters and
:20:05. > :20:13.
:20:13. > :20:19.go through last year but I will try and make amends and go through the
:20:19. > :20:25.finals this year because we are a good team. What has happened is in
:20:25. > :20:34.the past and now it is up to us to put on a great show, score 200 and
:20:34. > :20:42.all Essex out. We know our crowd, we know how they will react. It will be
:20:42. > :20:46.a great atmosphere. England in front of their home fans. You can hear the
:20:46. > :20:54.crowd behind you, especially when you are batting. Hopefully we don't
:20:54. > :20:58.mess up like we have done the last couple of years. Let's hope the
:20:58. > :21:03.players are still smiling at 10pm this evening and are through to the
:21:03. > :21:08.finals. Now, football, and I hinted at it a
:21:08. > :21:13.couple of minutes ago. The second round draw for the Capital One Cup
:21:13. > :21:16.was made at lunchtime and what a great tie for Notts County. Notts
:21:16. > :21:20.County will play Liverpool, and they'll play them at Anfield. These
:21:20. > :21:24.are the other ties. Leicester away at Carlisle. Forest will host
:21:24. > :21:27.Millwall. Meanwhile Derby play Brentford at Pride Park. The games
:21:27. > :21:30.will all take place the week beginning the 26th August.
:21:30. > :21:33.That Liverpool game is the standout, though. So, just how did Notts
:21:34. > :21:41.County earn themselves that glamourous second round tie? Well,
:21:41. > :21:51.with a 3-2 win over Fleetwood last night at Meadow Lane.
:21:51. > :21:58.
:21:58. > :22:08.There was a crowd for just over 2000 debut so the Magpies were up at
:22:08. > :22:22.
:22:22. > :22:30.running with a third. Fleetwood high-profile tie with Liverpool in
:22:30. > :22:40.Now, back to the cricket and Notts progress in the short, big hitting
:22:40. > :22:41.
:22:41. > :22:48.form of the game that is T20. I am delighted to say, With me is chief
:22:48. > :22:52.executive Lisa Pursehouse. The crowd seemed to have levelled off but this
:22:52. > :22:57.season has gone mad. We have seen a really big increase in attendance
:22:57. > :23:02.this year, and across the whole format. Northants had their record
:23:02. > :23:07.crowd the other night. It is about the cricket. The weather has got to
:23:07. > :23:13.play a part, and the Ashes. But that together and it has definitely added
:23:13. > :23:18.to the number of people that want to come and see it. We first thought,
:23:18. > :23:23.having won before and the rest of the games afterwards, it might not
:23:23. > :23:30.work but it has been fantastic. are expecting at least 12,000. What
:23:30. > :23:34.does that mean to you? The same for everybody else. For the players and
:23:34. > :23:38.members and supporters, there is nothing better than Trent Bridge
:23:38. > :23:44.being full, and it is wonderful when it is for not just for England. That
:23:44. > :23:47.is what we love. It will be full tonight and there will be a full
:23:47. > :23:50.report tomorrow here. Hundreds of workers and members of
:23:50. > :23:53.the public were treated to a spectacular sight today as the new
:23:53. > :23:58.Boeing Dreamliner and a Spitfire flew over the Rolls-Royce's factory
:23:58. > :24:01.in Derby. As James Roberson reports, it marked the latest stage of a
:24:01. > :24:11.relationship between British Airways and the aero-engine maker that goes
:24:11. > :24:15.
:24:15. > :24:20.back almost a century. Joined by the Rolls-Royce Spitfire,
:24:20. > :24:23.a new Dreamliner heads across the East Midlands towards Derby. It is
:24:23. > :24:29.watched by end-user you stick members of the Rolls-Royce works
:24:29. > :24:35.force. This latest Boeing is in British Airways's livery for the
:24:35. > :24:41.first time. Putting the firm's engines on yet another British
