:00:00. > 3:59:59BBC News Channel, but now on BBC One, it's time for the news where
:00:00. > :00:18.you are. Good evening. A serious case review
:00:19. > :00:22.has concluded that army doctors and social workers could have prevented
:00:23. > :00:26.the death of a baby girl at the hands of her father, Liam
:00:27. > :00:29.Culverhouse. He was a former soldier with post`traumatic stress disorder
:00:30. > :00:37.and told army doctors he was likely to harm a child. But the information
:00:38. > :00:43.wasn't passed on to other agencies. Liam Culverhouse, a former soldier
:00:44. > :00:50.sentenced to six years for causing the death of his baby daughter. He
:00:51. > :00:54.described `` was described as a pilot and troubled man, indicators
:00:55. > :00:59.we were told that should have concerned professionals about the
:01:00. > :01:06.safety of the child. I would have liked a check on the father and his
:01:07. > :01:10.back ground. Why would we have had concerns? Because he was a man
:01:11. > :01:14.suffering from injuries he received in the service of his country.
:01:15. > :01:18.Blinded by a bullet, his troubles worsened because of his injuries,
:01:19. > :01:25.the report said. He was one of six soldiers wounded by a roadside bomb.
:01:26. > :01:29.Five were killed. He told Army doctors it was likely he would harm
:01:30. > :01:35.a child if left alone together but that information, the review found,
:01:36. > :01:41.was not shared with children's social cared nor the Army welfare
:01:42. > :01:45.service. We take seriously the obligation to our people and the
:01:46. > :01:50.children of service people. We have learned lessons from this tragic
:01:51. > :01:54.case. We have taken action. We were told that professionals need to be
:01:55. > :02:00.more nosy about domestic relationships. Liam Culverhouse s
:02:01. > :02:05.relationship was on and off and there was evidence of domestic
:02:06. > :02:10.abuse. The army supported him as an independent injured soldier. Health
:02:11. > :02:16.professionals treated his partner as a single mother and child. Lessons
:02:17. > :02:21.will be learned and acted on, agencies have said. A soldier who
:02:22. > :02:31.came home from bloody combat only to inflict terrible injuries on his own
:02:32. > :02:34.baby daughter. Earlier, I spoke to Mark Sewart, a retired Squadron
:02:35. > :02:37.Leader, who is now working as a lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University
:02:38. > :02:40.and who is an expert in post`traumatic stress disorder. I
:02:41. > :02:46.began by asking him about the condition. It varies from person to
:02:47. > :02:52.person but some of the classic features of what we call in the
:02:53. > :02:59.trade experiencing phenomenal and, such as flashbacks, during which the
:03:00. > :03:03.individual can believe they are back where they were originally
:03:04. > :03:08.traumatised. Not everybody with the condition will carry out a violent
:03:09. > :03:13.act, like Liam Culverhouse, how difficult is it to spot the signs
:03:14. > :03:22.when something is escalating? With this condition it depends to a
:03:23. > :03:27.degree on the individual approaching services to help. He said he had
:03:28. > :03:33.concerns about being left alone with his daughter and Army doctors failed
:03:34. > :03:37.to tell agencies. How common is it for military personnel to fall
:03:38. > :03:42.through the gaps? Once they have been discharged it is incumbent upon
:03:43. > :03:45.them and the National Health Service to identify their care needs
:03:46. > :03:48.straightaway and move towards getting as much information as
:03:49. > :03:55.possible from the Ministry of defence. That process is aborted by
:03:56. > :04:00.defence services and the Ministry of defence, but clearly it needs to
:04:01. > :04:06.improve further. It often takes an extreme case to make changes in the
:04:07. > :04:09.system. The case review has urged changes are made and military
:04:10. > :04:16.personnel, Army doctors, communicate better with the NHS. Do you think it
:04:17. > :04:24.will happen? Yes, it is already in place, even before I left the Armed
:04:25. > :04:27.Forces. Safeguarding training was commonplace and mandatory. Everybody
:04:28. > :04:35.was engaged in raising their game in communicating with civilian
:04:36. > :04:37.colleagues. Thanks for joining me. Parents fighting to save a network
:04:38. > :04:41.of children's centres across Peterborough have had their final
:04:42. > :04:44.attempt to save them rejected by the council. The decision was made at a
:04:45. > :04:47.meeting earlier this evening. There are 15 Sure Start centres in
:04:48. > :04:50.Peterborough. But under the plans, that would change to four super`hubs
:04:51. > :04:53.and three outreach centres, saving the City Council just over ?1
:04:54. > :05:02.million. A final decision will be made next week. Emma Baugh reports.
:05:03. > :05:07.Make or break for the city's children's centres, an extraordinary
:05:08. > :05:13.meeting to decide their future. We are hopeful. We hope the Cabinet and
:05:14. > :05:16.Council listen and discuss this properly at the meeting today and go
:05:17. > :05:22.through the figures presented to them. The meeting comes after months
:05:23. > :05:28.of campaigning, with people across the city asking the council to think
:05:29. > :05:33.again. Campaigners who have fought to save the centres say they offer
:05:34. > :05:38.families vital support at a crucial time at the council said originally
:05:39. > :05:42.they were set up in areas seen as deprived and gradually expanded as
:05:43. > :05:45.they became more popular but they say because they need to make cuts,
:05:46. > :05:50.they are having to redirect resources. Tonight, the council
:05:51. > :05:59.rejected calls to save the centres by changing the budget, by 26 votes
:06:00. > :06:03.to 23. We will continue to deliver children's services across
:06:04. > :06:07.Peterborough but they will have to be delivered differently because of
:06:08. > :06:11.the situation we find ourselves in. We realise they need to make cuts,
:06:12. > :06:17.but it is about where they need to make cuts. They are cutting the most
:06:18. > :06:21.important services for the people of Peterborough. A final decision will
:06:22. > :06:31.be made as part of the budget next week. Campaigners say they will
:06:32. > :06:34.fight on. News just in. Six fire crews have been called to a major
:06:35. > :06:38.incident in Northampton. A fire in the Queen's Park area of the town
:06:39. > :06:41.has already caused two gas cylinders to explode. The alarm was raised
:06:42. > :06:44.just over an hour ago at JPS Commercial in Horsley Road.
:06:45. > :06:47.Neighbours are being advised to keep their doors and windows closed.
:06:48. > :06:51.That's all from the late team. The weather now with Alex Dolan.
:06:52. > :06:58.That's all from the late team. The Good evening, a weather front is
:06:59. > :07:02.going to bring rain later tonight. Temperatures should not drop too
:07:03. > :07:06.much lower than five degrees. The weather front will turn the sky is
:07:07. > :07:12.clarity with heavy pulses of rain into the early hours. There will be
:07:13. > :07:15.a blustery wind and we will wake up to different conditions tomorrow.
:07:16. > :07:21.Outbreaks of rain first thing should clear quickly. There will be
:07:22. > :07:25.sunshine and showers, and some of the showers will be on the heavy
:07:26. > :07:31.side in the afternoon. There will be a blustery westerly wind which will
:07:32. > :07:33.help to blow the showers through in the afternoon. In a moment,
:07:34. > :07:38.day on Friday, wet snow around and a breeze blowing as well. Tricky into
:07:39. > :07:41.the weekend. And now we have the national forecast.
:07:42. > :07:46.Good evening. We know it has been a wet winter but it has also been mild
:07:47. > :07:53.and across England and Wales, lacking in snow. The last day of the
:07:54. > :07:58.season which we measure on Friday, might provide a bit of it. Friday's
:07:59. > :08:04.weather is coming from the small area of low pressure. These tiny
:08:05. > :08:09.low-pressure systems are difficult to track and a subtle change in
:08:10. > :08:12.position could have a big impact. Tonight we have more
:08:13. > :08:15.straightforward, a weather front spreading out rakes of rain across
:08:16. > :08:20.most areas. Turning windy as well. The rain will be heavy but will move
:08:21. > :08:24.through quickly because of the strength of the wind and it will be
:08:25. > :08:28.a mild night for most. The rain is lingering across Scotland and
:08:29. > :08:32.eastern England for the morning It will continue to be pushed into the
:08:33. > :08:37.North Sea but it may take most of the morning before it clears away.
:08:38. > :08:38.Following behind, brighter skies, sunny spells but more showers than
