:00:14. > :00:18.First tonight - a Serious Case Review into the death of a

:00:19. > :00:20.seven-year-old girl from Nottingham has found professionals lost sight

:00:21. > :00:24.of her needs and didn't exercise enough curiosity.

:00:25. > :00:29.Shanay Walker died in 2014 and was found to have suffered more

:00:30. > :00:32.Her aunt and grandmother were both jailed for cruelty.

:00:33. > :00:39.In assessment videos, Shanay Walker appeared

:00:40. > :00:41.to have a good relationship with her aunt, Kay-Ann Morris,

:00:42. > :00:47.Her guardian was in fact harsh, cruel and abusive to her

:00:48. > :00:51.Morris was cleared of murder, but was jailed for cruelty,

:00:52. > :00:55.along with Shanay's grandmother Juanila Smikle.

:00:56. > :00:56.The review found that concerns were raised

:00:57. > :01:03.A number of things went wrong that have been identified in our review,

:01:04. > :01:05.but in essence, information sharing and the lack of professional

:01:06. > :01:11.curiosity created all those difficulties.

:01:12. > :01:13.Why aren't things improving, in terms of information

:01:14. > :01:22.Where you have cases in safeguarding where there are at

:01:23. > :01:24.least a dozen agencies, involved in managing the case,

:01:25. > :01:26.I think it's inevitable as the consequence that

:01:27. > :01:31.some information could not be shared.

:01:32. > :01:33.There's a need to improve on that quite clearly.

:01:34. > :01:35.The board has an important role to play in it.

:01:36. > :01:37.A number of teachers raised concerns about

:01:38. > :01:40.abuse and injuries but they were not acted upon.

:01:41. > :01:42.One safeguarding form went missing and after Shanay

:01:43. > :01:44.Walker's death, it was rewritten by a head teacher and

:01:45. > :01:50.They both remain absent while an investigation

:01:51. > :01:53.Safeguarding arrangements where chaotic and that's what we've

:01:54. > :01:58.We are working with the benefit of hindsight.

:01:59. > :02:00.I am now satisfied that safeguarding arrangements as we

:02:01. > :02:03.As they are with many schools in Nottingham.

:02:04. > :02:06.Nottingham City Council says many things have changed over the last

:02:07. > :02:09.two years and it's in a stronger position to children from harm.

:02:10. > :02:10.The council, health services and schools

:02:11. > :02:12.are working much more closely on safeguarding issues.

:02:13. > :02:14.And staff are being trained have the confidence to

:02:36. > :02:38.Outside the cathedral, it's estimated around 16,000

:02:39. > :02:43.Early morning and a sea of faces in Leicester.

:02:44. > :02:45.Thousands lined the streets, eager to catch a glimpse

:02:46. > :02:47.of the Queen as she arrived for the annual Maundy

:02:48. > :02:50.We were here at 20 past eight this morning.

:02:51. > :02:54.She looked fantastic and she was waving to everyone and smiling.

:02:55. > :03:12.It was lovely to see her and nice to see her in Leicester.

:03:13. > :03:14.At Leicester Cathedral, the Yeoman of the Guard patrol the grounds,

:03:15. > :03:18.ready for Her Majesty to carry out this most ancient of royal duties.

:03:23. > :03:28.It has been hosted at every cathedral across the country,

:03:29. > :03:36.The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh were welcomed at the cathedral

:03:37. > :03:39.by the Dean of Leicester and the Bishop, delighted to be

:03:40. > :03:44.In her 91st year, the Queen presented 91 men and 91 women

:03:45. > :03:46.with specially minted money in two leather purses.

:03:48. > :03:59.With the ceremony over, the Royals posed for photographs,

:04:00. > :04:01.capturing what is both an historic day for the

:04:02. > :04:13.I've been talking to the Dean of Leicester about today's Royal

:04:14. > :04:20.visit which, it seems, made a great impression.

:04:21. > :04:23.The sun shone, the Queen looked radiant and

:04:24. > :04:25.the recipients were just over the moon.

:04:26. > :04:28.It's been one of the most memorable days of my life.

:04:29. > :04:30.As we have been saying, Leicester now is

:04:31. > :04:33.the last cathedral that Her Majesty has visited in terms of these Maundy

:04:34. > :04:36.That really is quite a feather in your cap, isn't it?

:04:37. > :04:46.We knew it would probably come at some stage.

:04:47. > :04:49.And I've been in touch with the Royal team over

:04:50. > :04:53.Her Majesty was really radiant and pleased and said

:04:54. > :04:56.that she was so glad that she completed all of the cathedrals.

:04:57. > :04:58.Everyone seemed full of smiles today.

:04:59. > :05:03.I think some of the recipients were a

:05:04. > :05:06.bit scared, because, you know, not everyday you meet the Queen.

:05:07. > :05:09.She has a very natural and easy way with

:05:10. > :05:18.There was one chap who was rather shaky

:05:19. > :05:21.and she just reached out towards him and you could see his chest puffed

:05:22. > :05:28.Dean, thank you very much indeed for talking to us.

:05:29. > :05:33.Detectives investigating the murder of a toddler in Australia nearly 50

:05:41. > :05:44.Police now say they want to speak again to the Goodyear family

:05:45. > :05:47.who were there at the time and are now believed to be

:05:48. > :05:58.The family of Cheryl Grimmer are still searching for the truth,

:05:59. > :06:02.The youngest of four, her family emigrated from Bristol

:06:03. > :06:05.Two years later, on a day at the beach with her mum

:06:06. > :06:09.the little girl disappeared from a shower block in Wollongong,

:06:10. > :06:13.Last month, nearly 50 years on, a breakthrough in the case

:06:14. > :06:15.when a 63-year-old man was charged with her abduction and murder.

:06:16. > :06:26.Now Australian detectives are trying to track down a family

:06:27. > :06:28.from Nottinghamshire that provided crucial statements to the police

:06:29. > :06:31.Detectives are trying to find the Goodyear family.

:06:32. > :06:33.They believe they were last living here at Oxton, in Nottinghamshire.

:06:34. > :06:45.In 1970, Peter Goodyear was 37 and living in

:06:46. > :06:47.Australia with his wife, Mavis, and their daughters.

:06:48. > :06:49.Karen, six and Jeanette, who was five.

:06:50. > :06:51.They gave police racial statements on the day that

:06:52. > :06:56.It has been a long time, it's 47 years.

:06:57. > :06:59.We have not spoken to the Goodyear family since

:07:00. > :07:03.that time and we would like to get in contact with them to go over some

:07:04. > :07:05.aspects of that day, as best as their memory can remember.

:07:06. > :07:08.It is a bit of an unusual request, but we

:07:09. > :07:12.have not had any contact with them and that is why we are seeking to

:07:13. > :07:15.Attempts to trace the Goodyear family have so far

:07:16. > :07:18.Detectives are now urging the family or anyone who

:07:19. > :07:30.might know them to get in contact with the police.

:07:31. > :07:33.With Brexit less than two years away, much attention's being focused

:07:34. > :07:36.on all of the EU nationals and other foreign nationals living in Britain.

:07:37. > :07:41.And, in both cases, what will be the effect on the British economy?

:07:42. > :07:44.Well, new official figures for the East Midlands have shed

:07:45. > :07:47.Our reporter Helen Astle has more details.

:07:48. > :07:59.We hear a great deal about people from other EU countries

:08:00. > :08:01.and beyond, living and working in the UK.

:08:02. > :08:03.But how many are there actually here?

:08:04. > :08:06.New figures from the Office for National Statistics answer

:08:07. > :08:17.There are 116,000 EU citizens of working age in our region

:08:18. > :08:19.and there are another 54,000 foreign nationals

:08:20. > :08:22.So what proportion of the workforce is that?

:08:23. > :08:34.Well, the percentage of foreign workers in jobs is around 8.4%.

:08:35. > :08:36.Nearly one in three foreign workers, some

:08:37. > :08:37.49,000 people, I engaged in

:08:38. > :08:39.what the ONS calls elementary occupations.

:08:40. > :08:41.Many of them in manufacturing, retail and

:08:42. > :08:47.Only about one in ten UK citizens does these kinds of

:08:48. > :08:50.The big question, then, will any restrictions on foreign workers

:08:51. > :09:02.post Brexit be good or bad for the region's economy?

:09:03. > :09:04.Hospitality is not seen as perhaps one of the most...

:09:05. > :09:07.An industry that people really want to go into.

:09:08. > :09:09.The jobs could have been filled by British

:09:10. > :09:11.workers in the past, but

:09:12. > :09:14.there is a tendency to not want to work within that sector.

:09:15. > :09:16.The stuff that we have had joined the

:09:17. > :09:18.university because they were the best person for the job

:09:19. > :09:20.at the time that we did that recruitment

:09:21. > :09:28.I think it would have a devastating impact not just for

:09:29. > :09:30.them, but on their colleagues and students that they work with.

:09:31. > :09:35.With one in 16 of our workforce from other EU

:09:36. > :09:40.countries, employers and

:09:41. > :09:42.politicians in this region will certainly be hoping for as smooth

:09:43. > :09:48.So, it's goodbye from me, but with your weather

:09:49. > :09:52.Plenty of cloud around over the next few days.

:09:53. > :09:55.And certainly plenty of cloud around through the daytime today as well.

:09:56. > :09:58.Although there was a bright start to the daytime,

:09:59. > :09:59.as this picture kind of

:10:00. > :10:02.captures, the fact that there was some brightness mixed up in there

:10:03. > :10:05.More weather watcher pictures on the website.

:10:06. > :10:08.As you go through the night, then, tonight, plenty cloud

:10:09. > :10:12.A couple of clear spells at times, but in the main it's cloudy

:10:13. > :10:15.with the view spit spot of rain thrown into the mix as well.

:10:16. > :10:16.Temperatures around seven or eight Celsius.

:10:17. > :10:18.Friday daytime then, lots of cloud around

:10:19. > :10:22.A couple of gaps and breaks possible maybe in the morning, but

:10:23. > :10:27.A few showers in the next again, particularly in further

:10:28. > :10:29.Temperatures, 12 or 13 degrees Celsius.

:10:30. > :10:32.But actually, it isn't too bad for the time of year.

:10:33. > :10:34.Taking a look at Saturday daytime, lots of cloud

:10:35. > :10:37.around again, but some bright weather in the mix, too.

:10:38. > :10:51.It will be chilly through the daytime on Saturday.

:10:52. > :10:53.Not helped out by the fact that there

:10:54. > :10:56.will be an icy cold northerly and north-westerly wind, which will

:10:57. > :10:58.really take a bite out of those temperatures.

:10:59. > :11:04.As I say, a couple of showers are possible, but mainly dry

:11:05. > :11:05.We will keep you updated. Now with the National Outlook, Tomasz
