And another cold night on the web but temperatures recovering by the

weekend. An independent report has identified

"serious failings" in the care given to a baby from Kettering

who suffered serious harm Rocky Uzzell and Katherine Prigmore,

were both jailed last year, for inflicting catastrophic injuries

on their five week old daughter. Rocky Uzzell and Katherine Prigmore

were seen to laugh at the hospital where by the week old is a

bull's-eye in a critical condition. Katherine Prigmore filmed her

partner violently shaking and squeezing their daughter. This case

highlights major failings of Kettering Hospital. Baby Isabelle

was admitted here 6 times in 5 weeks yet not once did staff even consider

that her parents could be to blame for her injuries. They mist to rib

fractures. Had they recognised them they could have taken steps to have

her removed from her parents to a more serious injury. The moral

series warning signs were missed time and time again. On March 16,

2014, Isabelle was admitted with leg pain.

The next day, the parents were arrested. What is of particular

importance is the repeat presentation to hospital over a very

short period of time, that should bring an immediate child protection

flag and top diction concern that would need to be checked. It appears

that didn't happen. The couple lived in this maisonette. Shocked

neighbours say they really saw them. Couldn't believe it. I knew

something wasn't right because I only saw the mad with a pushchair

once, nobody ever saw the baby. Isabel will soon turn 3. Unable to

walk, talk, C and swallow, she is with foster parents and isn't

expected to live until her teens. Kettering Hospital said there was

profound regret over the missed opportunities to safeguard her and

said it has introduced improvements to procedure to protect infants at

risk. Well the head of the

Northamptonshire Safeguarding Children Board said the case of baby

Isabelle was one of I asked Keith Makin how

it was allowed to happen. Primarily, 2 things. There was not

sufficient information sharing between agencies, although I have to

stress that itself wouldn't have necessarily lead to this awful

outcome. More particularly, we are very concerned that the people at

the accident and emergency acidity were not curious enough about

whether the reasons for admission was safeguarding or not. They were

not curious about whether abuse may have taken place. 1 thing that

stands out on the report is that an x-ray was done on the child's chest

and broken ribs were missed, how easy is it to miss broken ribs? I'm

top of the medical experts at actually, it's quite hard to tell in

small babies with a rib has been broken or not -- I am told by the

medical experts. But the issue as I understand it from the report is

that the x-rays were not examined by a paediatric radiologist. If the

examination had taken place as it should have been, it is very likely

the child would not have been released from hospital, very likely

wouldn't have gone back to the parents and this awful outcome would

very likely that of happened. What are you recommending to stop it

happening again? There is a different arrangement now for

examination of x-rays in babies and young children. And the sharing of

information, particularly about fathers, has been reinforced so that

is all backed by training programme for all relevant staff. We as a

board are monitoring and ordering the impact of that. Are you 100%

sure that if a baby was brought hospital today and it was being

abused by its parents that it would be picked up and acted upon? Not

ever 100% guarantees in safeguarding but what we are assured of is that

the Rossettini I have thought about would be enacted, questions will be

asked in safeguarding would be considered as a primary issue.

The television entertainer Rory McGrath has been give

a suspended ten week jail sentence today after admitting harassing

The court in Huntingdon was told McGrath and the married woman had

been having an affair. Mike Cartwright reports.

Arriving at court, his wife by his side. Rory McGrath, who the court

was told pursued a course of conduct that was unstable and tempestuous.

After harassing a man married mother in her 40s for more than a year. She

can't be identified, the 2 having an affair for 5 years. The woman

wanting to finish it. After she said he had become difficult and

unpleasant company. They had shared intimate messages and texts. Rory

McGrath threatening to publish glossy images of them. For months he

sent her texts, e-mails, called and followed her. The judge was told of

his deep remorse. Outside his wife next to him, a solicitor spoke on

his behalf. This has been a dark time and thankfully it's now over. I

wish to thank the judge and apologise to my wife and family, and

to thank them for the incredible support during this time. I now want

to move on with my life. In Cambridge Park, he tailed the woman

as she went for a run with a teenage daughter. He conducted her husband

and her new partner. Police say harassment cases on the rise.

Encouraging victims to come forward. I would urge them to pick up the

phone, told us, don't suffer alone, call the police, we can help you,

put you in touch with other agencies that can help you in the short and

long-term. On TV from the 90s he became a household name. His

behaviour, likened to a midlife crisis. His actions described as

bizarre and increasingly desperate. In sentencing, the judge told Rory

McGrath it was a persistent and consistent, controlled imposition of

yourself on the victim and those close to her. He was ordered to pay

?200 in costs and a 5 year restraining order was imposed.
