:00:13. > :00:18.of a murder victim. She says the fight Against guns and gangs will

:00:18. > :00:24.be badly hit by police cuts. Because of funding cuts, a lot of

:00:24. > :00:28.the resources which were in place on no longer in place. Jailed for

:00:31. > :00:36.that's been given today clearly reflects how serious we take this

:00:37. > :00:41.matter. It will hit the poorest and we fear a rise in homelessness, say

:00:45. > :00:49.significant numbers of people will become homeless. At the Royal

:01:08. > :01:12.comrades and Prince Philip opens Good evening. Tonight, a warning

:01:12. > :01:16.from the mother of a murder victim who has become a high-profile

:01:17. > :01:21.campaign in the fight against crime. After years of steady progress, she

:01:21. > :01:24.believes that cuts in police could lead to a setback, with an increase

:01:24. > :01:28.in antisocial behaviour and gang culture. Marcia Shakespeare, whose

:01:28. > :01:32.daughter was shot dead eight years ago, they as the focus on fighting

:01:32. > :01:42.street crime may be lost, as youth projects are cut along with some

:01:42. > :01:42.

:01:42. > :01:47.frontline police teams. We have this exclusive report. You're 80

:01:47. > :01:51.schoolchildren getting to grips with the harsh facts of life. --

:01:51. > :01:57.you're eight. The lesson on violent crime. Which one of these is real,

:01:57. > :02:02.which is a ball-bearing done? guesses? Holds school in Lozells is

:02:02. > :02:06.in brand new premises. Set in the heart of Birmingham skunk and gang

:02:06. > :02:10.area, the school has turned around and seen a big improvement in

:02:10. > :02:15.discipline and exam results. A lesson before the summer break was

:02:15. > :02:19.that everyone has choices. There's always an inclusive instances

:02:19. > :02:23.involving young people for round antisocial behaviour in the summer

:02:24. > :02:29.holidays. But the kids are fully aware of the implications of taking

:02:29. > :02:33.toy guns and BB guns out to the parks. She had a fatal gunshot

:02:33. > :02:38.wound which went straight through her heart. Leading from the front

:02:38. > :02:43.is Marcia Shakespeare. In 2003, her daughter, Letitia, and her best

:02:43. > :02:49.friend, Charlene Ellis, were killed in a spree of machine gun fire.

:02:49. > :02:52.Innocent murder victims caught in the crossfire of gang warfare.

:02:52. > :02:57.kids go from one year to another and new children come in, they

:02:57. > :03:02.should be equipped and educated in the curriculum around a violent

:03:02. > :03:07.crime, because this is what we live in. Holt's school has changed, so

:03:07. > :03:12.has this area. Crime has fallen but 10 years ago street robberies were

:03:12. > :03:18.on the rise. �1 million was spent on summer activities for youngsters.

:03:18. > :03:22.Crime fell by 50 %. At the same time it was decided to place

:03:22. > :03:25.dedicated police officers in schools, working directly with

:03:25. > :03:30.teachers and young people. This school had its own police officer

:03:30. > :03:34.along with many others. For the last 12 months, all of those police

:03:34. > :03:39.officers have been returned to normal duties. Senior teachers are

:03:39. > :03:44.warning that could impact on the impact -- fight against antisocial

:03:45. > :03:49.behaviour. Taking that away has been unfortunate. Certainly the

:03:49. > :03:57.reduction in street crime, robbery and youth crime was a really

:03:57. > :04:00.positive effect. It remains to be seen how that change will be. We

:04:00. > :04:03.felt the difference in terms of contact and regular communication

:04:03. > :04:06.with the police since the police officers were taken from the

:04:06. > :04:10.schools. I think that's common across any schools that have had a

:04:10. > :04:13.police officer. Yet the police say they haven't given up their

:04:14. > :04:17.commitment to schools. Officers spending time in schools are still

:04:17. > :04:20.an important part of what we do. Only this morning I received an e-

:04:20. > :04:24.mail from a local headteacher thanking me for some work my

:04:24. > :04:27.officers did at a primary school. Engaging with young people,

:04:27. > :04:32.diverting them from crime and antisocial behaviour remains really

:04:32. > :04:37.important to us. Marcia Shakespeare fears that all the games of the

:04:37. > :04:43.last decade could be lost in the race to cut budgets. When Letitia

:04:43. > :04:46.and Charlene were killed, it was bad then and it was a turning point

:04:47. > :04:52.for Birmingham. That turning point needs to stop at the point where it

:04:52. > :04:57.is and not be lost through lack of funding and resources.

:04:57. > :05:07.youngsters left for the holidays, many adults were asking - what will

:05:07. > :05:08.

:05:08. > :05:11.be done to keep them occupied and The Home Secretary, Theresa May,

:05:12. > :05:16.has been in Birmingham today to hear about a new crime unit. Our

:05:16. > :05:19.reporter put it to her that the government was failing communities

:05:19. > :05:29.over Cats which will lead to the removal of designated police

:05:29. > :05:29.

:05:29. > :05:32.officers from schools. They are not failing local communities. Of

:05:32. > :05:35.course there are operational decisions which will be taken at

:05:35. > :05:40.local level as to how budget cuts are going to operate and be put

:05:40. > :05:43.through. But we recognise the impact that the issues around gangs

:05:43. > :05:46.and the use of knives by young people has in the West Midlands.

:05:46. > :05:49.That's one of the reasons why West Midlands is one of the three areas

:05:49. > :05:54.we identified from the centre that we should put some extra funding

:05:54. > :05:58.into, to deal with this particular issue. So we are supporting

:05:58. > :06:01.activity taking place locally in relation to that. With respect,

:06:01. > :06:04.these officers have been doing a good job in schools and have shown

:06:04. > :06:09.to make a real difference with crime and how young people are

:06:09. > :06:13.recruited into gangs. They are now going to be removed. Explain that

:06:13. > :06:17.to repair and of how that's going to make a positive impact.

:06:17. > :06:21.decision... The decision of how officers are used locally must be

:06:21. > :06:24.taken at the local level. It's not right for me in Westminster to say

:06:24. > :06:28.to West Midlands, this is how you should deploy your forces. That is

:06:28. > :06:34.what they must do. Yes, there are challenging budget cuts. We accept

:06:34. > :06:41.that, we have to do that because we are facing the biggest peacetime

:06:41. > :06:44.deficit in history. There is a lot of concern in your report about

:06:45. > :06:50.young people, what's available for them this summer and how crime

:06:50. > :06:54.might rise. How important is that? By the risk of sounding corny,

:06:55. > :06:58.teenagers are our future. They are important. For years, the

:06:58. > :07:03.authorities have been trumpeting to me just how special Birmingham is

:07:03. > :07:07.and just how much they've achieved. Yet on our programme tonight, the

:07:07. > :07:13.woman who is the figurehead of all that success, with gang related

:07:13. > :07:17.murders coming down from 27 in one year down to one, she is actually

:07:17. > :07:22.saying you are putting this legacy at risk. It's very important.

:07:22. > :07:25.our councils have to save money, so what's the alternative? They do.

:07:25. > :07:31.The Home Secretary there is painting the stark reality of why

:07:31. > :07:36.we need to make these savings. At the same time, I've been talking to

:07:36. > :07:40.educators who have said a few years ago that they are putting on

:07:40. > :07:45.special projects for 1000 youths, and they have �300,000 to do that.

:07:46. > :07:50.This year they've just got 30,000. Isn't it a bit simplistic to say

:07:50. > :07:53.that having something to do for the teenagers will cut crime? It is,

:07:53. > :07:59.but often if the right funds are channelled to the right people,

:07:59. > :08:03.then that is what works. It diverts people away. To use that old phrase,

:08:03. > :08:08.the Devil finds work for idle hands, people are saying that unless you

:08:08. > :08:14.really engage with teenagers, what then happens is you create a vacuum

:08:14. > :08:18.and the drug dealers and gang members move in to fill it. Have

:08:18. > :08:23.you been affected by a antisocial behaviour, are you concerned about

:08:23. > :08:33.the impact of cuts on services for young people? If so, we'd like to

:08:33. > :08:39.

:08:39. > :08:43.hear from you. The contact details Later, as the famine crisis in

:08:43. > :08:50.Africa deepens, we meet the Somali and community in Birmingham trying

:08:50. > :08:53.to help. And there's great news for English apple lovers. The season

:08:53. > :09:03.has arrived weeks early. I'll be at an orchard where the harvest is

:09:03. > :09:06.

:09:06. > :09:13.A man has been jailed for four years after pleading guilty to

:09:13. > :09:16.recklessly infecting his partner with HIV. 44-year-old Nkosinati

:09:16. > :09:20.Mabanda knew he was HIV-positive but didn't tell his girlfriend. She

:09:20. > :09:25.only found out he had the virus after finding a text message from

:09:25. > :09:28.his secret fiancee. Speaking after the case, police said what was most

:09:28. > :09:34.disturbing was his blase attitude towards his victim and various

:09:34. > :09:38.other partners. We have been speaking to his former partner.

:09:38. > :09:41.He's just an animal. He has deserved everything he's got today.

:09:41. > :09:46.When this woman started a relationship with Nkosinati Mabanda,

:09:46. > :09:52.she had no idea he was HIV-positive. She only discovered by finding a

:09:52. > :09:56.text message from his secret fiancee on his mobile phone.

:09:56. > :10:06.couldn't see no reason why he had and said nothing because we have

:10:06. > :10:08.

:10:08. > :10:12.spoken about it anyway. He said, no, going be tested, he's HIV-positive.

:10:12. > :10:16.Nkosinati Mabanda was arrested in 2009 after his victim went to the

:10:16. > :10:20.police. Investigations discovered that after he arrived from

:10:20. > :10:24.Zimbabwean 2004, he had had unprotected sex with nine women

:10:24. > :10:28.minus seven of them also have no idea he had the virus. In court,

:10:28. > :10:32.the judge told Nkosinati Mabanda this was as bad as it gets, as far

:10:33. > :10:37.as this type of cases concerned. You took the decision, he said, not

:10:37. > :10:41.to tell her, and it was her right to know. She's been devastated and

:10:41. > :10:46.her life has been changed permanently. He went on to say that

:10:46. > :10:50.Nkosinati Mabanda was a very real danger to women in the future.

:10:50. > :10:55.the sentence the judge has given out today, it shows the seriousness

:10:55. > :11:00.in which the criminal justice system has taken this case. We have

:11:00. > :11:04.to take the bravery of the victim, to actually come forward and

:11:04. > :11:08.notified the police of this. Otherwise we might never have known.

:11:08. > :11:12.Today, Nkosinati Mabanda was jailed for four years. The judge said a

:11:12. > :11:19.transcript of the sentencing would be sent to the Secretary of State

:11:19. > :11:23.to consider deportation on his release from prison. We are joined

:11:23. > :11:30.now by Lisa Power, from the Terrence Higgins Trust, the largest

:11:30. > :11:34.HIV and sexual health charity in the UK. An horrific situation there.

:11:34. > :11:38.How common are these kinds of cases? It's extremely important

:11:38. > :11:42.that people should realise that although most people with HIV try

:11:42. > :11:46.very hard not to pass the virus on, for some people it is very

:11:46. > :11:50.difficult. They don't know how to tell people or they shy away from

:11:50. > :11:53.it. For one in four people with HIV in the UK, they can't possibly tell

:11:53. > :11:57.their partner because they don't know themselves, they haven't been

:11:57. > :12:02.tested yet. It's up to all of us to look after our sexual health in

:12:02. > :12:06.these situations. If someone lies to you about their HIV status, it's

:12:06. > :12:10.very difficult to protect yourself, isn't it? Clearly, if someone

:12:10. > :12:13.actually lies about their status then you are N8 difficult position.

:12:13. > :12:17.What we often say to people is, if you are in a relationship and are

:12:17. > :12:20.thinking of giving up condoms, go down to the clinic together and get

:12:20. > :12:24.tested together. That way you both know where you are starting off

:12:24. > :12:28.from. It's a difficult thing to do when you are in a relationship at

:12:28. > :12:33.first, you are hardly going to save, let's go down to the sexual health

:12:33. > :12:37.clinic for our first date. It is difficult. In early dates most

:12:37. > :12:41.people do still use condoms. But what I would emphasise his we have

:12:41. > :12:45.a society where it's actually easier to have sex and talk about

:12:46. > :12:49.it. That's the wrong way round. Actually, for everyone's sake, your

:12:49. > :12:52.own and your partner's, you are much better off having a chat at

:12:52. > :12:56.some early. And getting these things clear and making sure that

:12:56. > :13:00.both you and your partner are safe. There are a lot of people with HIV

:13:00. > :13:10.who haven't tested yet. So we do encourage anyone has been at risk

:13:10. > :13:11.

:13:11. > :13:21.If you've got any questions about HIV or AIDS, you can call the

:13:21. > :13:23.

:13:23. > :13:27.Terrence Higgins Trust. The number Two charities have warned the

:13:27. > :13:33.impact of cuts to the benefits system could take up to �70 million

:13:33. > :13:36.a year out of Stoke-on-Trent's economy. A report by the Citizens

:13:36. > :13:39.Advice Bureau and Brighter Futures predicts changes will lead to

:13:39. > :13:43.increased homelessness. The Government has said its Welfare

:13:43. > :13:49.Reform Bill will be fairer than the current system and help more people

:13:49. > :13:53.into work. Clare Milner is 18 and rents a one-

:13:53. > :13:59.bedroom flat in Stoke-on-Trent. Changes in her housing benefit

:13:59. > :14:02.means she is now rethinking plans to study A-levels. People like me,

:14:02. > :14:07.and I have loads of friends in the same situation, they are having to

:14:07. > :14:10.give up their dreams of going to college to get a full-time job to

:14:10. > :14:16.be able to support themselves. There is nothing they can do about

:14:16. > :14:19.it. Stoke-on-Trent is not unique, according to the Office of this

:14:19. > :14:26.report, but they say there are social and economic factors which

:14:26. > :14:31.mean it could be affected more harshly than other cities. Wages in

:14:31. > :14:38.Stoke-on-Trent are almost 10% below the national average. The labour

:14:38. > :14:43.market here has contracted by 3.6% in the last year, compared to 1.9b

:14:43. > :14:47.national. We do have health problems, and those will get worse.

:14:47. > :14:53.Homeless this will get worse. The housing market will not recover. In

:14:53. > :14:57.saving money, I think it is a very false economy. We will save money

:14:57. > :15:01.in Westminster and we will be paying for far more expensive

:15:01. > :15:11.services to deal with the results of what will happen to people.

:15:11. > :15:22.

:15:22. > :15:26.statement, the Government said its The Government has introduced a new

:15:26. > :15:31.test, for people. Be charities dealing with claimants are

:15:31. > :15:34.sceptical. With the best will in the world, however affected the

:15:34. > :15:40.private sector is at creating jobs, it will not create enough jobs

:15:40. > :15:45.quick enough. Clare Milner is still taking stock of the impact of these

:15:45. > :15:54.changes for her, and the authors of this report hope it will be the

:15:54. > :15:57.basis for wide-ranging discussions. Police are investigating after

:15:57. > :16:01.several coaches and cars were deliberately set on fire. It

:16:01. > :16:05.happened in the early hours of this morning at a car park in the Small

:16:06. > :16:10.Heath area of Permian. Four coaches, three cars and a caravan were

:16:10. > :16:14.destroyed by the far, which spread to nearby storage sheds.

:16:14. > :16:17.A woman has been rescued after falling down a 30 feet well in

:16:17. > :16:21.Worcestershire. It happened just before four o'clock this afternoon

:16:21. > :16:24.in the village of Abbotsford. A specialist search and rescue team

:16:24. > :16:29.were sent to the scene at the woman was taken to hospital.

:16:29. > :16:33.The BBC has learned that around 30 drain covers a month are being

:16:41. > :16:46.covers have been stolen to sell us scrap metal.

:16:46. > :16:56.Coming up, a royal flush at Birmingham plays host to two

:16:56. > :16:56.

:16:56. > :17:00.princes and a duchess. The Somali community is calling for

:17:00. > :17:03.more aid to help millions of starving people in the Horn of

:17:03. > :17:08.Africa. A quarter of Somalia's population is being displaced as

:17:08. > :17:12.the search for food and water. An estimated 40,000 Somali born people

:17:34. > :17:37.Maryan Qasim can relate to that. She has just spent seven months

:17:37. > :17:47.working as a Government minister in Mogadishu, the first time she has

:17:47. > :17:47.

:17:47. > :17:52.been back to her home country for 25 years. My most beloved place

:17:52. > :17:58.when I was a child. Everything was destroyed. There is nothing I can

:17:58. > :18:03.do for all those people. Sometimes I used to see people dying out of

:18:03. > :18:08.hunger. They could not get anything to eat. I would see children in the

:18:08. > :18:17.streets, begging. Now back in Birmingham, Maryan Qasim is one of

:18:17. > :18:20.an estimated 40,000 Somali born people living in this city. Several

:18:20. > :18:24.African charities have their headquarters in Birmingham. They

:18:24. > :18:27.are in daily contact with aid workers in Somalia, trying to set

:18:39. > :18:43.many donations, many from people who were born in Somalia. The

:18:43. > :18:47.British Government has donated �90 million in eight so far, but the

:18:47. > :18:53.response from other countries has been criticised by Somalians living

:18:53. > :18:59.in Birmingham. There is still a huge shortfall of funds. We are

:18:59. > :19:05.thankful to the British public, and the UK Government, more needs to be

:19:05. > :19:11.done because of the huge crisis. is a country torn apart by war, not

:19:11. > :19:14.just famine. In the long term, what many West Midlands-based Somalis

:19:15. > :19:23.want his stable Government, then maybe theirs will be a country they

:19:23. > :19:25.will want to return to. Not one, not two, but three members

:19:25. > :19:28.of the royal family were in Birmingham today. The Duchess of

:19:28. > :19:33.Cornwall, the Prince of Wales and his father all popped in on

:19:33. > :19:36.official business. In a moment, the Duke of Edinburgh at Warwickshire's

:19:44. > :19:48.Charles to the servicemen and women who have endured at off 48 hours. -

:19:48. > :19:53.- Huttoft 48 hours. Time to banter with the patients at

:19:53. > :19:57.the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital. And Tanton looked -- trying to beat

:19:57. > :20:03.the military men and women who spent a very sweaty weekend. He was

:20:03. > :20:11.asking me how the event went, it was tough. What I am going to do

:20:11. > :20:15.now is going to have a mudbath. Rewind, and this was the Bastion to

:21:54. > :21:57.here. No wonder, he has always loved his cricket. The Duke of

:21:57. > :22:01.Edinburgh is no stranger to Edgbaston. He was your 11 years ago

:22:01. > :22:05.for the official opening of the indoor cricket school. Today, he

:22:43. > :22:50.But some things are priceless, like this clever Cat by LEAs to help

:23:29. > :23:34.a Queen's Award for Voluntary Service medal at the City's

:23:34. > :23:39.Botanical Gardens. For many of us who look for to

:23:39. > :23:42.Turkey into a first English apple of the season, the harvest has

:23:42. > :23:45.arrived weeks earlier than expected. Normally we would have to wait

:23:45. > :23:49.until late August or early September. Thanks to the cold

:23:49. > :23:53.winter and the warm spring it is promising to be a great season.

:23:53. > :24:00.Cath Mackie is in an orchard for us right now. When will they start

:24:00. > :24:05.picking? Actually, I have already started!

:24:05. > :24:11.The harvest proper starts here tomorrow. Here is column Brimfield.

:24:11. > :24:16.I cannot believe it is July, it is a magnificent sight. It is very

:24:16. > :24:21.early. We have been farming here for 100 years and this is the early

:24:21. > :24:27.season by a week. We are picking Discovery apples, we picked a few

:24:27. > :24:33.of those today, and we will be picking in earnest tomorrow. That

:24:33. > :24:38.is have a quick chat with Adrian. We were saying this is good news,

:24:38. > :24:41.but is an early-season good news? Barry Davies, because we will seek

:24:41. > :24:46.English apples available to consumers for longer than has been

:24:46. > :24:51.the case for many years. And also, we are producing increasing volumes.

:24:51. > :24:55.We have seen a real renaissance in the English apple industry. Were

:24:55. > :24:59.orchards have been planted, greater production and consumers will have

:24:59. > :25:03.access to English apples run now right through until next May.

:25:03. > :25:07.there was concern, there was a frost in a will which has damaged

:25:07. > :25:11.some of the crops. Some orchards in Herefordshire have been obliterated,

:25:12. > :25:16.but fortunately, they are in a minority and the damage has been

:25:16. > :25:20.far less than anticipated. And we will get a larger crop this year.

:25:20. > :25:26.And the good news is, the English apples will be in the shops at the

:25:26. > :25:32.end of the league. -- the end of the week.

:25:32. > :25:33.See how she ripped that have all of the tree! I have been quite pleased

:25:33. > :25:41.the tree! I have been quite pleased about the weather for the last

:25:41. > :25:43.couple of days. It looks pretty decent. It has been

:25:43. > :25:48.beautiful and sunny over the weekend, it was a beautiful weekend,

:25:48. > :25:54.dry and warm. The rest of the week will stay settled. Tonight, it is

:25:54. > :25:59.mainly dry. We could see a little shower in a few spots. But that

:25:59. > :26:07.will be good for the garden. Nothing too significant. Mainly dry

:26:07. > :26:12.with clear spells. Some cloud around also. Overnight, lows of

:26:13. > :26:17.eight Celsius, fairly mild for most of us. Tomorrow, once again, we

:26:17. > :26:22.will see some sunshine, not everywhere, there will be some

:26:22. > :26:28.cloud lingering, but it will not spoil the day. It should still be

:26:28. > :26:33.fairly bright. Highs of 23 Celsius. Going into tomorrow night, once

:26:33. > :26:39.again it will be similar to tonight, clearer spells, some cloud drifting,

:26:39. > :26:45.and it will not be too cold. Another mild night with lows of ten

:26:45. > :26:51.to 14 Celsius. This week, when it is warm it will be highs of 24

:26:52. > :26:55.Celsius. Slightly cooler in the cloud, highs of just 19 Celsius. A

:26:55. > :26:58.high pressure is holding off the low pressure so we have that

:26:58. > :27:02.settled weather. There is the threat of a front moving through

:27:03. > :27:04.but we expected to be mainly dry through the rest of the week. So

:27:04. > :27:10.through the rest of the week. So calm and settled, temperatures in

:27:10. > :27:14.the low twenties. A look at tonight's main headlines:

:27:14. > :27:19.The Norwegian massacre, the self- confessed killer says he had links

:27:19. > :27:22.with two other underground cells. And a murder victim was my mother

:27:22. > :27:26.warns that cuts in policing could undo all the progress that has been

:27:26. > :27:31.done in the fight against crime. That's all from us this evening,
