:01:18. > :01:21.old, should have referred her to social services.
:01:22. > :01:24.The head of the review has described it as an extremely tragic case which
:01:25. > :01:32.saddened them. Jo Healey has this report.
:01:33. > :01:35.The baby was eight months old when she was taken to her local A in
:01:36. > :01:51.Leicester by her parents. These are some of the injuries. 15 fractures
:01:52. > :01:54.in all. This was in October 2012. In September last year, the baby's
:01:55. > :01:58.mother, who was 31 and had admitted GBH, was given a two and a half year
:01:59. > :02:02.jail sentence. A few weeks ago on Christmas Eve, she was deported back
:02:03. > :02:06.to India. The child is still here in care. It will be her second birthday
:02:07. > :02:08.on Thursday, but she won't know much about it. She's brain`damaged,
:02:09. > :02:12.severely visually impaired, confined to a wheelchair and fed through a
:02:13. > :02:14.tube. So why was she never referred to social services? When she was six

:02:17. > :02:23.months old, a GP noted that she had blue marks on her back. He did

:02:40. > :02:43.judgement, but said he found it difficult to believe that anyone
:02:44. > :02:46.would harm a child. The Serious Case Review has recommended more training

:03:57. > :04:01.face meetings. `` with face to face meetings. They want to see if
:04:02. > :04:08.training is fit for purpose. We want to see how GPs ask for help and
:04:09. > :04:17.advice in difficult cases. Will this stop another case like
:04:18. > :04:21.this? There are no guarantees we will not have another child in this
:04:22. > :04:28.situation. But the things we are putting in place all strength in
:04:29. > :04:36.what is already in place and support the professionals to do their job in
:04:37. > :04:42.a more competent and safe way. It is her birthday on Thursday, what
:04:43. > :04:47.more can you tell us of her condition?
:04:48. > :04:54.She is brain damaged, she refuses all food and is fed into her

:05:25. > :05:27.Trade unions say some of their members are being forced to rely on

:05:46. > :05:53.lunchtime protest investor. They took to the streets to demand more
:05:54. > :05:58.money of at least ?1 an hour. Their message here is loud and clear. At a
:05:59. > :06:02.time when we are told the economy is improving, they want to see some of
:06:03. > :06:10.that improvement reflected in their pay packets. We have been losing the
:06:11. > :06:17.value of what we get paid and everybody needs to live, basically
:06:18. > :06:21.and we are struggling to do that. We take you on a lot of distressed
:06:22. > :06:26.families in difficulty and our pay does not reflect that. MPs are
:06:27. > :06:30.getting way in excess of an inflationary increase, and the Royal
:06:31. > :06:36.family as well. Social workers have not had a big increase last five
:06:37. > :06:40.years. We are hard`working and we keep the economy going so we should
:06:41. > :06:45.get something from it. This afternoon, more wage
:06:46. > :06:49.demonstrations in Nottingham and Derby. But the government has
:06:50. > :06:58.already announced a rise in the minimum wage and several of our
:06:59. > :07:04.councils are paying the living wage. In the East Midlands, the average
:07:05. > :07:09.public sector worker earns ?22,500, higher than workers in private
:07:10. > :07:13.companies. Most public sector workers are low paid, part`time
:07:14. > :07:22.women who fall behind every year in pay. People are struggling and using
:07:23. > :07:26.food banks. Today's demonstrations were not just about pay rises. They
:07:27. > :07:33.were also protesting about council cuts. But council leaders are likely

:08:06. > :08:14.Joining me now from outside Rushey Mead School is Ian Leaver from the
:08:15. > :08:18.NUT. Only six parents offered a view on

:08:38. > :08:42.Union of Teachers and the city council continually asked for the
:08:43. > :08:46.opportunity to have a public debate on this where we can put our point
:08:47. > :08:52.of view and explained why we are opposed to the idea. That would give
:08:53. > :08:56.parents a proper opportunity to make a considered decision.
:08:57. > :08:59.If Rushey Meade does convert, it'll get more money, it'll be able to
:09:00. > :09:09.innovate, raise standards even further and attract the best
:09:10. > :09:14.teachers. What is the NUT afraid of? There is no more money available for

:09:48. > :09:56.Academy games. If Rushey Meade does convert what can you do about it? We
:09:57. > :10:00.will meet with our members and governors. I am hoping that they
:10:01. > :10:08.will see sense. They have taken a long time to consider this.
:10:09. > :10:12.Thank you. A man has been airlifted to hospital
:10:13. > :10:16.following reports of an assault at a block of flats in Oakham. The
:10:17. > :10:18.47`year old has been flown from Rutland to the Queen's Medical

:10:39. > :10:42.last year. Developers already have permission to demolish it, but have

:10:57. > :10:59.discover the remains of King Richard III says his bones should not be
:11:00. > :11:02.stored at the University of Leicester, but taken to a more
:11:03. > :11:05.appropriate place. Philippa Langley made the comments
:11:06. > :11:09.one year on from the official confirmation of the discovery. Simon
:11:10. > :11:12.Ward reports. When King Richard III's remains were
:11:13. > :11:20.discovered under a Leicester Council car park, it caused a worldwide
:11:21. > :11:24.sensation. But a year on, the woman who researched his burial place is
:11:25. > :11:27.unhappy the bones have been kept at the University of Leicester while a
:11:28. > :11:29.final decision is made. My agreement, in place locally, says
:11:30. > :11:33.that following identification, as the named custodian of the remains I
:11:34. > :11:40.would be able to take Richard to a place of sanctity and rest to await
:11:41. > :11:45.reburial. That's what it says. It's pretty simple. And it won't affect
:11:46. > :11:50.anything, it won't affect any of the outcome, and yet it will honour this
:11:51. > :11:55.man who fell in battle. No one really knows this is where he
:11:56. > :11:58.is. Only two of us have access. Last night on Inside Out East
:11:59. > :12:01.Midlands, the BBC was given access to a secret location at the
:12:02. > :12:07.University of Leicester where the bones are kept secure. I do feel
:12:08. > :12:10.quite unhappy that people think the university did something incorrectly
:12:11. > :12:15.because we followed normal practice on the exhumation of many, many
:12:16. > :12:19.burials over the years. Everything was agreed before the dig got under
:12:20. > :12:26.way, before the tarmac was cut and everybody was happy with the plans
:12:27. > :12:29.that were in place. So I think all we're saying is can we honour the
:12:30. > :12:33.agreement? Work is well under way to build a
:12:34. > :12:36.new King Richard III visitor centre at Leicester Cathedral. The judicial
:12:37. > :12:39.review about the excavation and plans to place the bones at the

:12:59. > :13:05.car park and road added, along with a children's play area. It's due to
:13:06. > :13:08.open to the public this autumn. Nearly ?600,000 is being invested in
:13:09. > :13:12.road repairs and other improvements across Derbyshire this month. The
:13:13. > :13:15.money is part of a ?35 million package the county council is
:13:16. > :13:18.spending on improving its roads in one year. Resurfacing and patching
:13:19. > :13:25.roads are the main tasks during February.
:13:26. > :13:31.Next, developers could be forced by law to include flood protection
:13:32. > :13:35.measures in their future plans. It's the idea of Mark Spencer, the MP for
:13:36. > :13:37.Sherwood, and follows severe flooding in many parts of
:13:38. > :13:40.Nottinghamshire in recent years. Today, he introduced his own
:13:41. > :13:46.Parliamentary Bill to ensure that adequate drainage forms part of any
:13:47. > :13:49.new plans. Let's find out more from Westminster and our Political Editor
:13:50. > :13:58.John Hess. John, surely planners already have such powers.
:13:59. > :14:07.You would have thought so. But it is not nearly as clear as you might
:14:08. > :14:11.think. Like so much flood water, this issue and who should pay for
:14:12. > :14:14.flood prevention measures is rather muddy. I'll be speaking to the MP
:14:15. > :14:19.shortly, but first this report from Simon Hare.
:14:20. > :14:22.It's hard to believe that this is rainwater run`off, not flooding from
:14:23. > :14:26.a river or stream. The water came down, and along the road here, and
:14:27. > :14:32.over the edge and it filled the garden and the house. We made futile
:14:33. > :14:45.attempts to stop it, but you can't stop water. It continued coming in.
:14:46. > :14:49.It deluged the Bunting's family home last July. Six months on and they've
:14:50. > :14:53.only just moved back in. We had good temporary accommodation, but to be
:14:54. > :14:56.back home is very good. The drains couldn't cope with three inches of
:14:57. > :14:59.rain in a couple of hours. That's why today Mark Spencer introduced
:15:00. > :15:09.his own parliamentary He wants developers to pay for flood
:15:10. > :15:12.prevention. `` parliamentary bill. Especially in villages.
:15:13. > :15:15.Sadly, the drainage systems of those villages have not grown at the same
:15:16. > :15:18.rate and further developments upstream have added to the problem
:15:19. > :15:21.of drainage. These villages today are faced with sewage systems that
:15:22. > :15:25.are already under enormous pressure and have a high risk of flooding
:15:26. > :15:30.during periods of prolonged or heavy rainfall. It's a question not simply
:15:31. > :15:34.of defence, but drainage and coping with excess water.
:15:35. > :15:37.Last year's events here have left many feeling wary about what the
:15:38. > :15:43.weather is going to bring in the future.
:15:44. > :15:47.Mark Spencer is with me here at Westminster. Mark Spencer, I think
:15:48. > :15:50.many people will be surprised that a developer doesn't have to take into
:15:51. > :15:56.account the knock`on effects of flooding caused by new housing. It
:15:57. > :16:00.is the knock`on effect that I am worried about. This sewer in an old
:16:01. > :16:01.village but 0 worried about. This sewer in an old
:16:02. > :16:07.village but does not have the capacity. So who should take a grip
:16:08. > :16:10.of this to ensure that adequate drains are built? It has to be the
:16:11. > :16:16.local authority. The highways authority. They have to make sure
:16:17. > :16:20.that during the planning process, the developers are held to account
:16:21. > :16:28.and the knock`on effects of this problem are sorted out. The cost of
:16:29. > :16:36.flood prevention is paid for people who pay water bills? Absolutely.
:16:37. > :16:41.When you are building a new property, it does not cost that much
:16:42. > :16:45.more to build in mitigation schemes. But if you are living at the bottom
:16:46. > :16:49.of the village, you are getting all of the flooding. Because it's not
:16:50. > :16:58.just in rural areas that this is an issue. Absolutely not. There are
:16:59. > :17:02.enormous problems in towns. Downing Street is anxious to be seen on top
:17:03. > :17:08.of the current flooding crisis. Your Bill is very timely. Should the
:17:09. > :17:16.government back it? Let's hope so. It is going through the House of
:17:17. > :17:18.Lords at the moment. Mark Spencer's Parliamentary Bill today coincided
:17:19. > :17:21.with the government announcing that ?7 million in emergency funding is
:17:22. > :17:24.now available for local councils to repair damage caused by the floods.
:17:25. > :17:29.So far, 53 local councils, including some in the East Midlands, intend to

:22:14. > :22:16.Oh, there are some. Lovely. Well now, a scientist from Leicester
:22:17. > :22:21.University is predicting they could become a sizeable problem in the
:22:22. > :22:25.future. That's because, in the future, rats
:22:26. > :22:28.could grow to the size of sheep or even bigger, as they take the place
:22:29. > :22:33.of extinct larger mammals. Victoria Hicks has more.
:22:34. > :22:40.Love them or loathe them, there are millions of rats the world over.
:22:41. > :22:44.Why? Because they are born survivors and easily adapt to their
:22:45. > :22:47.surroundings. I've had reports down south that
:22:48. > :22:51.they are becoming super`sized and starting to become more resistant to
:22:52. > :22:55.rat poison. Peter Andrews knows a thing or two
:22:56. > :22:59.about rats. He's spent 15 years trying to control them.
:23:00. > :23:05.They can get into any situation, out of any situation. They're just a
:23:06. > :23:08.good all`round survivor. And that's a view shared by this
:23:09. > :23:13.geologist from the University of Leicester. He says as bigger animals
:23:14. > :23:17.become extinct, smaller animals evolve to replace them.
:23:18. > :23:22.Dinosaurs are the classic example. When they lived, they occupied the
:23:23. > :23:32.top part of the food chain. The mammals were very small and were
:23:33. > :23:36.kept down by the dinosaurs. When the dinosaurs died out, it was the turn
:23:37. > :23:40.of the mammals and they could evolve to take over the roles of the big
:23:41. > :23:46.and fierce animals on earth. Could that become as big as sheep or even
:23:47. > :23:52.larger? The answer is yes. We know that goldens can become the size of
:23:53. > :23:57.a bull, wheeling over a tonne. They might become even bigger. If they
:23:58. > :24:02.take to the sea, 0 might become even bigger. If they
:24:03. > :24:08.take to the sea, as the ancestors of wheels and dolphins did, they could
