And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Anne Davies. Barnado's | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
have been sexually exploited via have been sexually exploited via | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
social media. They've begun a new campaign which coincides with a | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
hard`hitting play being performed in schools across Leicestershire. It | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
shows just how easy it is to become a victim of sexual grooming. In | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
moment we'll hear from Clive Chambers from Barnado's about the | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
scale of the problem, but first here's Sarah Teale. Not unless you | :00:39. | :00:48. | |
want me to tell everyone. Please don't tell my mum and dad. These | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
schoolchildren are gripped by a powerful drama about a teenage girl | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
unwittingly sucked into an abusive relationship will stop called | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
Chelsea's Choice, the gritty play is a campaign to highlight the problem | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
of sexual exploitation. Their headlines were hit by this after a | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
gang in Derby were jailed for cruising the streets and preying on | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
vulnerable girls as young as 12. This play, performed to pupils at | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
this community college in Leicester, shows that anyone can be | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
a victim. It's amazing how they get people to do what they want and how | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
they manipulate them. I've learned all the different types of how | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
people sexually groomed girls and boys. There's all different kinds of | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
ways people can get exploited online. Wii I've learned to be safe | :01:39. | :01:48. | |
on these internet websites. To keep my profile secure. One of the most | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
interesting things about the players any of the children who watch it can | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
see how easy it is, it could happen to anyone of them. Could happen to | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
any body at any time. It is shocking and very moving, the number of | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
students we do get in many different schools who come up to us and say | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
that some issue in the play has affected them in some way. Whether | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
it's the smallest thing, like something online, or something about | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
sending photos. White mesh The message to all parents and pupils is | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
to be aware of the dangers. How serious are the consequences of | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
child abuse on the child? They can be devastating. Without the right | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
kind of support and help for young people and children, they can have | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
lifelong psychological consequences. How serious is the impact of social | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
media? If we think about that in relation to child sexual | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
exploitation, in 2013 Barnardo's did a snapshot survey of its specialist | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
child sexual exploitation services. We were working with almost 900 | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
children at that point. Of those, about 40% identified social media as | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
being one of the factors that they'd encountered in their abuse. That's a | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
huge number. What are the warning signs in children? How would you | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
tell that maybe they are suffering? There are three areas that we | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
suggest that parents and carers are particularly sensitive to. Any real | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
changes in behaviour, particularly if those changes include children | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
who are staying out late and would be expected or more seriously going | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
missing. The second would be children and young people who have | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
things that they really have no explanation for. That might be cash, | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
mobile phones, it might be any of a whole range of things. But if they | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
can't explain how they got it, then we suggest parents should be | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
sensitive to that. The other things are about having an awareness of | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
what young people are engaged in online. Being willing to talk to | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
young people about their online activities. Talk to children and it | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
you think there's something you should get help. Thank you. Business | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
leaders say they're determined the East Midlands won't lose out on the | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
HS2 rail link. A report out today suggests the line between Birmingham | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
and Crewe could be completed several years before the rest of the route. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
The Chamber of Commerce here says it would be unfair for one region to | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
benefit before another and wants work to start on both ends of the | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
line simultaneously. A massive fire which destroyed the top floor of a | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
multistorey car park in Derby means the city's Assembly Rooms will be | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
shut for at least eight weeks. Now the task of contacting thousands of | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
people who'd bought tickets for shows which have been cancelled has | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
begun, as James Roberson reports. From the tower of Derby Cathedral | :04:31. | :04:42. | |
today, the extent of the damage to the assembly rooms car park is only | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
too clear. Smoke from the huge fire on Friday night has got into the | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
assembly rooms themselves, but the damage to the top of the car park is | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
even more extensive. Pictures taken by the council today show the | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
charred and buckled roof and the wrecked interior of the park room, | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
including the point where the fire started. Today, in a temporary | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
office in the Guildhall across the marketplace from the assembly rooms, | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
Derby Live staff were beginning the huge task of bringing thousands of | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
assembly rooms customers to tell them that their shows and events | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
have been cancelled until mid`May. We've had to reschedule. The | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
performance on Thursday, it's due to the fire that happened on Friday. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
One small piece of good fortune was that Friday night's wind blew smoke | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
and flames away from nearby businesses in the city centre, | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
including from Bennetts, right next door. The feeling is the businesses | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
have opened for business as usual. Saturday was our first day of | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
trading after the fire, and that was a good day of trading. Yes, there | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
might be some impact with footfall around the city but we are | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
optimistic going forward. Assessors have been inside the assembly rooms | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
and the car park today. The car park will remain closed for the | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
foreseeable future while its structural integrity is established. | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
It will take a number of weeks. We know that the road in front will be | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
closed for the foreseeable future. The assembly rooms will be closed | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
for eight weeks. Unfortunately, it will take time to do it properly, | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
but that's what we have to do. That's almost it from us. I will say | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
goodbye now but I leave you with Kerry and a look at the weather. | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
Dry and bright weather again today, but some changes on the way. The | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
first thing you will notice tomorrow is the wind. It will pick up through | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
the morning and into the afternoon, blowing in quite a few showers as | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
well. For the time being, we are staying dry for tonight. The cloud | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
is increasing and the winds. To pick up. The cloud and wind will hold | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
those temperatures up tonight, so it's particularly cold. Tomorrow, we | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
will start off dry but we will see the cloud thickening up and we will | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
see a couple of the showers pushing through. Not many of them for some | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
of us. Some of us will stay dry and there will even be some brightness | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
towards the end of the day. Those winds will be quite noticeable, | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
shaping the edge off the temperatures. The outlook, some | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
sunshine on Wednesday, looking as though it will turn a bit wet and | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
windier by Thursday. That is it from us. | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
going to be Wednesday. Unsettled from there on in. More on that now | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
with the UK forecast. A frost free night across the whole | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
of the UK across the whole of the UK. Winds will strengthen tomorrow. | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
Showers around. They will pep up as we go through the end of the night. | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
More significantly across parts of Northern Ireland and into western | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
Scotland. A little bit patchy rain further. Most places staying dry. | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
Plenty of cloud. Temperatures Tuesday, seven or eight degrees to | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
start. Fairly cloudy with the main focus of the wet weather across the | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
north-west. Showers feeding in across parts of Scotland. Could be | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
on the heavy side with the small chance of the odd rumble of thunder. | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
Showers across Northern Ireland and into northern England. Further | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
south, although it is quite overcast, most places should be | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
dry. Thicker cloud through South Wales and south-west England which | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
might produce the odd patch of light rain. That will move through | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
Southern Canty is the rout the day. Behind it, some breaks in | :08:44. | :08:44. |
