Hello, welcome to Midlands Today, with Suzanne Virdee and Nick Owen.

:00:05.:00:08.

The headlines tonight: A grieving mum tells how she was

:00:08.:00:14.

wrongly arrested over the death of her son. Just to think they would

:00:14.:00:20.

even think I did that to my child, who was my world, my everything.

:00:20.:00:22.

"Give him the maximum punishment", says the father of a Warwickshire

:00:22.:00:25.

teacher killed in Japan. Hundreds attend the funeral of a

:00:25.:00:29.

soldier shot dead in Afghanistan. And over 1,000 years-old and more

:00:29.:00:39.
:00:39.:00:53.

popular than ever with tourists. We Good evening, welcome to Friday's

:00:53.:00:56.

Midlands Today, from the BBC. Tonight, a mother accused of

:00:56.:01:00.

murdering her three-year-old son speaks out to clear her name.

:01:00.:01:03.

Police arrested Abby Podmore after her son died following a harrowing

:01:03.:01:08.

series of events earlier this year. Alfie Podmore first became ill on

:01:08.:01:15.

2nd February and was sent home from nursery. The following day he was

:01:15.:01:17.

taken to Birmingham Children's Hospital with a high temperature,

:01:17.:01:21.

shoulder pain and a rash. Alfie was sent home after being diagnosed

:01:21.:01:27.

with a virus. But on 6th February, his mother found him dead in bed.

:01:27.:01:30.

To her horror, Abby was in police custody within hours, on suspicion

:01:30.:01:39.

of killing her son. Joanne Writtle has this report.

:01:39.:01:44.

I was devastated about losing my little boy. I was crying my eyes

:01:44.:01:49.

out, saying, this isn't real. Maesteg mum was sitting with me and

:01:49.:01:55.

even said, you must be joking. The officer lent into her face and said,

:01:55.:01:58.

we don't joke about these things. Abby Podmore describes the moment

:01:58.:02:01.

she was arrested, falsely accused of murdering her toddler. She was

:02:02.:02:06.

held at Bournville Lane police station in Birmingham for 18 hours.

:02:06.:02:13.

They took photos of me, fingerprints, cut my nails. They

:02:13.:02:20.

did that and then obviously, I was kept in the cell. All I had was

:02:20.:02:23.

Alfie's picture. A postmortem later revealed Alfie Podmore had died of

:02:23.:02:26.

natural causes, after suffering from pneumonia and septicaemia.

:02:26.:02:32.

Abby says she tried to tell police that he'd been ill. I even showed

:02:32.:02:37.

them the medication and everything I was sent home with with Alfie. My

:02:37.:02:44.

worst nightmare came true. All I have wanted was to see my little

:02:44.:02:51.

boy... And then they would not let me see him for 10 days. By that

:02:51.:02:54.

time, Major had taken its course and it did not look like him any

:02:55.:03:00.

more. -- nature had taken its course. Alfie's bedroom in Quinton,

:03:00.:03:03.

in Birmingham, is still full of toys. But Abby, a trainee dental

:03:03.:03:06.

nurse, has only just moved back home, worried about false rumours

:03:06.:03:10.

and bad memories. Is there a message you would like to get out

:03:10.:03:16.

your community? I never heard my little boy. He died of natural

:03:16.:03:21.

causes. -- I never hurt my little boy. He was taken to hospital with

:03:21.:03:25.

what he had and then I had to deal with finding him and then getting

:03:25.:03:32.

arrested. Abby and her family have consulted a solicitor. There are

:03:32.:03:36.

grounds for concern and we are waiting for the police to try to

:03:37.:03:41.

establish whether there is any justification at all as to why Abby

:03:41.:03:45.

was taken into custody. He was amazing. He was always smiling,

:03:46.:03:52.

singing. He always liked cuddles and kisses. Just so bright... He

:03:52.:03:55.

was my world. Our reporter Joanne Writtle joins

:03:55.:03:58.

us now from Bournville Lane police station in Birmingham. What have

:03:58.:04:06.

the police had to say about this? It was here last February that Abby

:04:06.:04:11.

Podmore was bought by officers and West Midlands Police have issued a

:04:11.:04:15.

statement to us saying that the complaint is being looked into by

:04:15.:04:25.
:04:25.:04:27.

their professional standards And what have Birmingham Children's

:04:27.:04:37.
:04:37.:04:39.

Hospital said? They have also given us a statement saying, quite simply,

:04:39.:04:42.

investigations are ongoing, but it has become clear that there was

:04:42.:04:47.

more they could have done to help Alfie. We are devastated by what

:04:48.:04:52.

happened to him and would like to express our deepest sympathies to

:04:52.:04:56.

his family. Meanwhile, an inquest is due to be heard at Birmingham's

:04:56.:05:00.

Coroner's Court, when the family says they hope to learn the answers

:05:00.:05:04.

to many of the questions they still have.

:05:04.:05:07.

Thanks for joining us. You're watching Midlands Today, from the

:05:07.:05:13.

BBC. Later in the programme... be, or not to be, that is the

:05:13.:05:21.

question... Which of these boys will make it into the Shakespeare

:05:21.:05:24.

competition? The father of the murdered

:05:24.:05:26.

Warwickshire teacher Lindsay Ann Hawker has asked a judge in a

:05:26.:05:29.

Japanese court to impose the maximum sentence allowed on the man

:05:29.:05:33.

accused of murdering his daughter. Bill Hawker was giving evidence

:05:33.:05:36.

today in the trial of Tatsuya Ichihashi in Chiba, in Japan, who's

:05:36.:05:39.

already admitted raping and strangling Lindsay Ann. Earlier, I

:05:39.:05:48.

asked our correspondent Roland Buerk what happened in court today.

:05:48.:05:54.

There was an extraordinary emotion to the day. Bill Hawker spoke in

:05:54.:05:58.

court. He began by stopping near the man accused of murdering his

:05:58.:06:08.
:06:08.:06:10.

daughter, Lindsay Ann Hawker, and that was Tatsuya Ichihashi. He said

:06:10.:06:16.

their lives had been torn apart by her death in March 2007. Her body,

:06:16.:06:24.

of course, was found in a bathtub full of soil and sand in a Tatsuya

:06:24.:06:29.

Ichihashi's flat. He did ask for the maximum sentence possible for

:06:29.:06:34.

Tatsuya Ichihashi if he is found guilty. Bill Hawker said the court

:06:34.:06:40.

should show no mercy because Tatsuya Ichihashi had shown none

:06:40.:06:44.

too Lindsay. At what is the maximum punishment in Japan for this kind

:06:44.:06:50.

of defence? It does retain the death penalty. That phrase did not

:06:50.:06:55.

pass Bill Hawker's lips. In the past, when Lindsay Ann Hawker's

:06:55.:07:02.

flatmate was called to give evidence, she said he -- she felt

:07:02.:07:07.

Tatsuya Ichihashi should get the full sentence. It would be unusual

:07:07.:07:12.

for that tour happened. In Japan, it is normally reserved for those

:07:12.:07:18.

who have committed multiple murders, not just one. And there is the

:07:18.:07:21.

possibility that the family could question Tatsuya Ichihashi

:07:21.:07:25.

themselves. Do you think that could happen? I think it is pretty

:07:25.:07:29.

unlikely because there is a new judicial system that gives families

:07:29.:07:34.

more save. The lawyer did get a question Tatsuya Ichihashi today

:07:34.:07:40.

and he was asking the accused about plastic tags and ties he had used

:07:40.:07:44.

to bind the wrists and legs of Lindsay Ann Hawker. The defence in

:07:44.:07:48.

this case is saying that although Tatsuya Ichihashi has admitted to

:07:48.:07:52.

raping her, he killed her unintentionally. The defence say he

:07:52.:07:58.

should be facing a lesser charge, one of inflicting injury causing

:07:58.:08:04.

death. What happens now? What we are expecting is more evidence from

:08:04.:08:09.

Bill Hawker on Monday. He will be questioned by the defence lawyers.

:08:09.:08:15.

A verdict in this case is expected on 21st July. Thank you.

:08:15.:08:17.

Missing girlfriend and boyfriend Charlotte Ford and Luke Jarvis have

:08:17.:08:21.

been found safe and well in North Wales. Following an appeal from

:08:21.:08:24.

their parents, a member of the public called police saying they'd

:08:24.:08:32.

seen the 15 and 16-year old in Rhyl. They were last seen at Dudley bus

:08:32.:08:35.

station almost a fortnight ago and are being brought home to their

:08:35.:08:41.

families in the Black Country. Hundreds of mourners have paid

:08:41.:08:45.

their respects at the funeral of a soldier killed in Afghanistan.

:08:45.:08:48.

Private Gareth Bellingham, who was 22, was laid to rest with full

:08:48.:08:50.

military honours. He served with the 3rd Battalion the Mercian

:08:50.:08:54.

Regiment, the Staffords. He is one of 375 British soldiers to have

:08:54.:08:58.

lost their lives in the conflict so far, 32 of them from our region.

:08:58.:09:03.

Liz Copper reports. His coffin, bourne by his comrades,

:09:03.:09:05.

Private Gareth Bellingham was described as a soldier who was a

:09:05.:09:13.

fearless and loyal friend. He was shot whilst on patrol last month in

:09:13.:09:18.

Helmand province. He was 22 years- old. Members of his regiment say

:09:18.:09:28.

his loss has created a gulf. Somebody said he was able to make

:09:28.:09:31.

friends in an empty room and he is just that sort of character who

:09:31.:09:37.

would come out, go anywhere and meet people. He just had a bubbly

:09:37.:09:42.

personality which people used to warm to. Hundreds of mourners

:09:42.:09:45.

packed St George's Church in Newcastle-under-Lyme. They heard

:09:45.:09:48.

how Private Bellingham was held in high esteem, not just by his

:09:48.:09:55.

regiment, but also by the Afghan forces he was working alongside.

:09:55.:10:04.

Closer to home, his death has been felt keenly by the entire community.

:10:04.:10:11.

There is a pride about our young men who still feel called to be

:10:11.:10:19.

there for their country. And, yes, this will draw people together. And

:10:19.:10:25.

in a way, make it more real to people. About the dedication of

:10:25.:10:29.

these young men. After the funeral, a committal ceremony with full

:10:29.:10:38.

military honours, including a And as the cortege made its way

:10:38.:10:41.

through the streets, applause, on a day when a town came together to

:10:41.:10:51.
:10:51.:10:54.

pay tribute to bravery and self- The Culture Secretary has said he

:10:54.:10:57.

wants to see small local TV stations set up across the country,

:10:57.:10:59.

and already in Birmingham and Stoke-on-Trent people are working

:11:00.:11:04.

to make that idea a reality. It's inspired by the American system,

:11:04.:11:07.

where viewers often have four or more local news programmes to chose

:11:07.:11:12.

from. David Gregory has been in America to find out more.

:11:12.:11:16.

Visiting America, you notice they have a lot more local TV than we do.

:11:16.:11:26.
:11:26.:11:30.

Like CBS 42, Birmingham Alabama. So we're spending the day here.

:11:30.:11:35.

Looking at this potential running order, this could be an edition of

:11:35.:11:41.

Midlands Today. We have travel, weather and budget cuts. And where

:11:41.:11:46.

we have cattle in Herefordshire, they have armadillos with rabies.

:11:46.:11:49.

There are four stations providing local news in this part of country,

:11:49.:11:53.

all funded by advertising. So who wants to advertise on local TV?

:11:53.:11:57.

you drive through town you will see 17 different fast food restaurants.

:11:57.:12:03.

They are all interested in advertising with us. So... Everyone.

:12:03.:12:07.

We take it. This is one argument for local TV in the UK. That

:12:07.:12:10.

there's an untapped, under-served pool of potential advertisers. But

:12:10.:12:16.

one Midlands agency has crunched the numbers... And doubts that.

:12:16.:12:20.

Because I cannot see that there would be any real demand from the

:12:20.:12:25.

consumer, I cannot see who would be watching local TV. And if the

:12:25.:12:28.

television station doesn't have an audience, they haven't got anything

:12:28.:12:32.

to sell. But others who have already expressed an interest in

:12:32.:12:38.

local TV disagree. I am chairman of a theatre company. We and 40

:12:38.:12:44.

theatres around the country. We cannot afford, by and large, to

:12:44.:12:49.

advertise on regional television. We would love to advertise on local

:12:49.:12:54.

television. But we are not trying to bring the whole American

:12:54.:12:59.

television system to the UK. The idea is to graft additional things

:12:59.:13:04.

on top of it. The question is, well that work?

:13:04.:13:08.

Armadillos with rabies! That is different, isn't it?

:13:08.:13:11.

So what can we learn here from America's experience of local

:13:11.:13:13.

television? Our political editor, Patrick Burns, is here with us.

:13:13.:13:20.

Patrick, it does seem to work over there? It does. Most of the

:13:20.:13:24.

successful local channels there have the backing of the big US

:13:24.:13:27.

networks. That is definitely not the route the Government one to go

:13:27.:13:32.

through here. It is very much rooted in local communities and

:13:32.:13:36.

there is no shortage of people coming through with business plans

:13:36.:13:40.

for it and a warning for the regional press. I would be worried

:13:40.:13:44.

if I were a local newspaper but we can work with them because we know

:13:44.:13:50.

them. ITV and BBC, they deliver local news. But they do not deliver

:13:50.:14:00.
:14:00.:14:01.

it in the style that city television world. -- City TV will.

:14:01.:14:07.

Local TV in Great Britain failed to make money, when for most people

:14:07.:14:11.

there for only five television channels. So why would now work

:14:11.:14:18.

when people have the choice of 500? Does Gary Hudson have a point?

:14:18.:14:24.

We've seen local stations here in the past and they all failed.

:14:24.:14:31.

what is different now is that the BBC can help prime them with a

:14:31.:14:34.

budget of �40 million. Today, the BBC put out his statement

:14:34.:14:38.

confirming its commitment to plurality. When can we expect these

:14:38.:14:43.

new local stations to start going on the air? The Government of

:14:43.:14:47.

forcing the pace. Would you believe, in a year from now, some of these

:14:47.:14:56.

channels could start going on air. You can find out more from my blog.

:14:56.:14:59.

And there's more on this, including the man who's planning a station in

:14:59.:15:02.

South Warwickshire, on this Sunday's Politics Show at the

:15:02.:15:04.

earlier time of 11am, here on BBC One.

:15:04.:15:07.

Now, we all learned it at school, but apart from some very famous

:15:07.:15:11.

lines how many of us can recite a passage or a whole Shakespeare

:15:11.:15:14.

sonnet? Well, students are being asked to do just that to win the

:15:14.:15:17.

title of Schools Shakespeare Champion. It's for a BBC Programme

:15:17.:15:19.

which will coincide with the RSC's World Shakespeare Festival next

:15:19.:15:27.

April. Here's Satnam Rana. If you tickle us, shall we not

:15:27.:15:30.

laugh? A final rehearsal for George from

:15:30.:15:34.

King Edward VI School in Stratford- upon-Avon. He's one of 18 boys

:15:34.:15:37.

competing to take part in Off By Heart Shakespeare, a BBC contest to

:15:37.:15:43.

find a Schools Shakespeare Champion. I would like to get far in this

:15:43.:15:49.

competition. It would be very nice. I am sure I can if I put my mind to

:15:49.:15:53.

it. The setting - the school hall, but not any old school hall. This

:15:53.:16:01.

is where the Bard himself was educated. Speak not! Reply not! Go

:16:01.:16:09.

now, mauve. The battle of the words gets underway. Have you not hands,

:16:09.:16:19.
:16:19.:16:19.

organs, dimensions? How was it for George? I think I did quite well.

:16:19.:16:24.

The decision now lies with these judges behind me. They will pick

:16:24.:16:29.

three boys who will make it to the regional heat of the Off By Heart

:16:29.:16:38.

Shakespeare, which takes prays in the autumn. -- which takes place.

:16:38.:16:41.

To get this far has been an achievement for many of these

:16:41.:16:44.

thespians. The whole contest so far has challenged the boys' perception

:16:44.:16:47.

of Shakespeare. And then the winners. As these three get ready

:16:47.:16:51.

for their Autumn run, you, too, could be joining them. If you know

:16:51.:16:54.

a school that would like to take part, you can get details on our

:16:54.:17:02.

website. Take a bow! It is a long time since

:17:02.:17:06.

I remember doing any Shakespeare. Thanks for joining us this Friday

:17:06.:17:08.

evening. Still to come in tonight's Midlands Today, Genelle's got all

:17:08.:17:12.

the details on the weekend weather. Mixed weather over the weekend, but

:17:12.:17:15.

it is a slowly improving picture. Find out all the details later in

:17:15.:17:20.

the programme. Dan's here with the sport now, and

:17:20.:17:28.

it's a big weekend of athletics. Birmingham stages its own mini-

:17:28.:17:31.

Olympics on Sunday. The city hosts its first ever Diamond League

:17:31.:17:35.

athletics meeting at the Alexander Stadium. And it's attracted some of

:17:35.:17:37.

the world's finest athletes, including the world's fastest man

:17:37.:17:43.

and woman so far this year. This report contains flash photography.

:17:43.:17:47.

A woolly hat? In July?! Well, I suppose if you're the world fastest

:17:47.:17:56.

man in 2011 and you come from Jamaica, you can get away with it.

:17:56.:18:04.

And he remembers the weather from his last visit. I think it was

:18:04.:18:10.

raining! It went OK in the 200. There was a good crowd and good

:18:10.:18:15.

support. You know, once you have the support, everything else can

:18:15.:18:20.

work. Asafa Powell has yet to win a world or Olympic gold in the 100

:18:20.:18:23.

metres. But he became the fastest man in the world this year, with

:18:24.:18:31.

9.77 seconds. Could he win this year's title? And those lucky

:18:31.:18:34.

enough to have tickets for Sunday's sell-out will also see the world's

:18:34.:18:37.

fastest woman, Carmelita Jeter. She's become a regular visitor to

:18:37.:18:43.

Birmingham. I am very pleased to be back here in Birmingham. You treat

:18:43.:18:49.

me so well so I will always return. We you respond to that with a good

:18:49.:18:53.

performance on Sunday? I really her pan prayer I give a good

:18:53.:18:58.

performance for the fans. I will compete to the best of my ability.

:18:58.:19:01.

The one thing that's changed since her last is the improvement of the

:19:01.:19:05.

Alexander Stadium. Jeter and Powell both plan to use it next year as

:19:05.:19:08.

their 2012 Olympic training base. But if the weather's bad, they'll

:19:08.:19:18.
:19:18.:19:20.

have to bring their own woolly It has many different names and it

:19:20.:19:26.

is guaranteed to be one of the most popular sports in the Olympic Games.

:19:26.:19:33.

Earlier, I headed over to Birmingham, where 55 Tennis Table

:19:33.:19:36.

tables appeared. And I say to the world, ping-pong

:19:36.:19:39.

is coming home. He was talking about London 2012. But if only

:19:39.:19:42.

Boris had been in Birmingham today, because the city's just gone table

:19:42.:19:46.

tennis-tastic. And everywhere you looked, people were itching to have

:19:46.:19:55.

a go. It is good. I like playing it. It is good exercise. I saw this

:19:55.:20:01.

when I came down to the library and I started playing. I love it.

:20:01.:20:06.

a game everyone can play. No matter whether you are a to or 80, you can

:20:06.:20:10.

pick up a bat and play. Fitting neatly into that age range, I

:20:10.:20:14.

grabbed a bat and went to pick up a few tips from the experts. Danny

:20:14.:20:17.

Reed and Chris Doran are ranked amongst the top five in England.

:20:17.:20:21.

They both play professionally in Europe. And next month they're off

:20:21.:20:27.

to China to train for next summer's Olympics. In amongst the crowd, a

:20:27.:20:32.

couple of familiar faces gave the royal seal of approval. I have won

:20:32.:20:38.

a few games but maybe we will take it a bit more professionally.

:20:38.:20:43.

is competitive as well. everybody saw the funny side but it

:20:43.:20:48.

was the Victorian upper classes who made table-tennis popular. You can

:20:48.:20:54.

now play ya in St Paul's Square, one of the 55 tables dotted around

:20:54.:21:00.

the city. -- now play here. It is great fun and great to get people

:21:00.:21:04.

involved. It is great to see people you haven't played before getting

:21:04.:21:10.

on the tables in random places and enjoying it. Back in May, two of

:21:10.:21:15.

the most powerful men in the world decided to take part. They found

:21:15.:21:21.

they might just have met their match in these two.

It's longer than Hadrian's Wall and is a truly demanding long distance

walk. We're talking about Offa's Dyke. The 177-mile footpath is 40

mound and ditch built by King Offa. Despite its success as a tourist

attraction, there are fears the upkeep of the path might be

:21:56.:22:01.

affected in the future by spending cuts. Bob Hockenhull reports.

:22:01.:22:03.

Britain's longest scheduled ancient monument passes through beautiful

:22:03.:22:05.

and remote countryside in Shropshire and Herefordshire.

:22:05.:22:08.

Offa's Dyke, a ditch built by the King of Mercia to keep the Welsh

:22:08.:22:12.

out, may be 1,200 years old, but the long distance footpath next to

:22:12.:22:19.

it has only existed since 10th July 1971. And to celebrate the 40th

:22:19.:22:23.

anniversary, this halfway Fingerpost has been elected on the

:22:23.:22:29.

hills above Newcastle, telling walkers they are exactly midway

:22:29.:22:35.

between these two places. The grand opening made national headlines.

:22:35.:22:39.

Since then, tens of thousands of walkers have enjoyed the scenery.

:22:39.:22:43.

People who have walked it have said they did not know we had such

:22:43.:22:48.

countryside in Britain. It is old- fashioned countryside, lots of

:22:48.:22:53.

small trees, hedgerows and pathways. But the path comes at a price.

:22:53.:22:55.

Eight different authorities contribute to its upkeep, so could

:22:55.:23:00.

funding be a problem in the future? We do not know yet but there are

cut left right and centre, and the management of the path are both

funded from the public purse. funding is available, work is being

:23:09.:23:11.

carried out to improve accessibility. It's estimated

visitors have increased by 25%. have been working very hard with

everybody. Is there great danger the place might lose its

:23:30.:23:37.

tranquillity? I don't think so, because we have a 177-mile trail

:23:37.:23:41.

here, and like today, there is a few people walking and it is never

:23:41.:23:46.

going to be like the Lake District and his other places. Even so,

:23:46.:23:51.

people travel from all over the country to take on the challenge.

:23:51.:24:00.

What I appreciate about it is that it is so unspoilt. We have been

:24:00.:24:04.

elsewhere but here, the people and scenery make-up for it. Those who

:24:04.:24:07.

live near the path largely don't seem to mind the attention it

:24:07.:24:13.

brings. They are very important to our tourist trade. This Sunday, at

:24:13.:24:16.

the Offa's Dyke Centre in Knighton, there'll be a fair to celebrate

:24:16.:24:26.
:24:26.:24:36.

By Sunday, we are expecting to have some fairly decent weather. This

:24:36.:24:40.

evening, we are expecting any showers to be scattered. That is

:24:40.:24:44.

because they were quite prominent today and quite heavy, but we're

:24:44.:24:48.

expecting they will be fewer and further between. We will actually

:24:48.:24:52.

have some sunshine next to him between the scattered showers for a

:24:52.:24:59.

nice end to the week. From this radar picture, you can see how many

:24:59.:25:03.

showers have gone through in the day. One minute we had sunshine and

:25:03.:25:12.

the next, it was chucking it down! We should have more brightness

:25:12.:25:17.

tomorrow and drier spells overnight. The temperatures are the same as

:25:17.:25:21.

last night. Those carry through to tomorrow's so there will be fewer

:25:21.:25:31.
:25:31.:25:31.

showers and a bit more sunshine. We are looking at times of 22 degrees

:25:31.:25:36.

Celsius on Saturday, so if you are in the sun, it will feel very

:25:36.:25:43.

pleasant. By Sunday, those showers should fade away completely. Sunday

:25:43.:25:48.

night, fairly mild, just a touch cooler than tonight. High pressure

:25:48.:25:51.

begins to build and takes charge and we see temperatures rising as

:25:51.:25:57.

we go into Monday. Still a few showers, but mainly sunny.

:25:57.:26:04.

That is lovely. Let's have a look at tonight's main headlines. The
