:00:12. > :00:17.Te headlines tonight, there is promised a new legislation to curb
:00:17. > :00:25.car clampers, it is taking longer than expected to become law.
:00:25. > :00:31.Literally within 10 minutes my brother's car had been clamped.
:00:31. > :00:36.police chief speaks out about the cuts. Birmingham City aim to fight
:00:36. > :00:40.back to the Premier League. I knew it would be a period changed, the
:00:40. > :00:50.likely that is that players would leave. Cricket's a man of the
:00:50. > :00:57.
:00:57. > :01:03.moment looks back to the challenges Welcome to the programme. Drivers
:01:03. > :01:07.are still having to pay to retrieve cards from wheel clampers one year
:01:07. > :01:11.after the government pledged to make the practice illegal. Trading
:01:11. > :01:15.standards officers say they are frustrated that drivers are being
:01:15. > :01:23.forced to hand over hundreds of pounds in cash. Birmingham is one
:01:23. > :01:28.of the worst areas of the country, it maybe next year that powers are
:01:28. > :01:35.introduced. Midday today, another sees car
:01:35. > :01:40.arrives at the clamper's compound. Afeefah Batool, from Sparkhill in
:01:40. > :01:44.Birmingham is too familiar with this picture. Last week she had to
:01:44. > :01:52.hand over �134 when her car was Turk -- towed away. It is
:01:53. > :01:57.disgusting, within 10 minutes of the car was towed. We were on the
:01:57. > :02:02.road for two minutes. It was this car-park in Kings Heath where they
:02:02. > :02:06.had parked for two minutes. There was a car parking meter there.
:02:07. > :02:16.did not notice the pay and display signs. What is consider easing --
:02:16. > :02:26.and teasing the notice -- confusing the motorist is that the car-park
:02:26. > :02:26.
:02:26. > :02:33.is by rights next to another one. They do not realise that they do
:02:33. > :02:36.get plant there. It is affecting local business. Last year
:02:36. > :02:44.government announcement said that they would be cranking down on
:02:44. > :02:52.clampers. People are frustrated that these laws are not yet in
:02:52. > :02:57.force. We need to do protect motorists from this extortion.
:02:57. > :03:00.Midway Parks is responsible for a lot of clamping in Birmingham. I
:03:00. > :03:05.went to their compound, or the manager did not want to go on
:03:05. > :03:10.camera, but he said he did not see any reason to stop while its it is
:03:10. > :03:14.not outlawed. Last do with their someone had to pay for poor and and
:03:14. > :03:20.�50 to reclaim her car. I did not know where my car wars until 12
:03:20. > :03:25.hours later, that is why it is so expensive. Until next year, when
:03:25. > :03:31.the practice is outlawed, it is a case of drivers becoming more wary.
:03:31. > :03:38.We are joined now from Edmund King from the AA. For a good evening to
:03:38. > :03:45.you. The government promised a year law on this, it looks like it will
:03:45. > :03:52.not come into practice until next spring, why so long?
:03:52. > :03:56.legislation was introduced on February 11th, in the freedoms bill.
:03:56. > :04:02.It is just the way the parliamentary process works. I gave
:04:02. > :04:06.evidence to the scrutiny committee, and I make the point that since the
:04:06. > :04:11.announcement to outlaw wheel- clamping on private land, which we
:04:11. > :04:15.have campaigned for around 10 years, there is evidence from Birmingham
:04:15. > :04:20.and elsewhere that many campers are drinking in the last-chance saloon,
:04:20. > :04:26.and trying to clamp -- cash-in. They are trying to clamp as many
:04:26. > :04:29.people as possible. I need to come in, or I understand that we have
:04:29. > :04:37.seen people being charged, sometimes there is indeed a poor
:04:37. > :04:41.car clamping, Odyssey not charging excessive amounts, but there is
:04:41. > :04:45.access needed on private land? course, people should not part with
:04:45. > :04:49.they want to park. In this day and age clamping a vehicle is a
:04:49. > :04:55.barbaric move. There are no restrictions on the prices charged.
:04:55. > :05:01.Many people get exploited and ripped off. In Scotland they outlaw
:05:01. > :05:07.this in 1991, landowners have found other ways to stop people parking
:05:07. > :05:13.illegally. The sooner the better that this menace is removed from
:05:13. > :05:19.the roads, it will be better for. Thank you very much.
:05:19. > :05:27.Still ahead, after Japan's terrible earthquake, researchers return to
:05:27. > :05:33.experiment they had to abandon. The American food giant Kraft,
:05:33. > :05:36.which took over Cadbury, is going to split it into two parts. Unions
:05:36. > :05:40.are demanding assurances that jobs at the factories and the Midlands
:05:40. > :05:43.will be protected. Our correspondent is outside the
:05:43. > :05:50.flagship Bournville factory in Birmingham. Should work is be
:05:50. > :05:57.concerned? I suppose any changes worrying, particularly when you
:05:57. > :06:02.take into account this his Kraft. What they have announced is that
:06:02. > :06:11.they're going to split the business into two. They want a global snacks
:06:11. > :06:16.business, an American food business. Why they are doing this, and what
:06:16. > :06:21.effect it will have, I'm joint by David Bailey from the Coventry
:06:21. > :06:27.Business School. Should workers be worried? Kraft are doing this
:06:27. > :06:32.because they realise that they have a huge conglomerate. There is no
:06:32. > :06:38.strategic picked. They are spinning out the low-growth part of the
:06:38. > :06:43.business, and at focusing on the high growth area. It should be a
:06:43. > :06:47.rapidly growing business, Cadbury should be more important. I was not
:06:47. > :06:52.in favour of the takeover, but this sounds like a clever move. Could it
:06:52. > :06:57.actually strengthen these plants? There are no guarantees that the
:06:57. > :07:02.American number of multinational stay in the UK -- that the American
:07:02. > :07:10.multinational will stay in the UK. It is it's a risky business?
:07:11. > :07:17.makes a sensible move, it helps them pay down their debt. Many
:07:17. > :07:25.thanks. These changes take place at the end of next year.
:07:25. > :07:29.There has been a big rise at the Stoke-on-Trent -- a big rise in
:07:29. > :07:34.profits at the Stoke-on-Trent pottery firm Portmeirion. Their
:07:34. > :07:40.successes in due -- their success is due in part to massive sales in
:07:40. > :07:45.South career, which for the first time are bigger than UK sales.
:07:45. > :07:50.Every year almost 170,000 people are admitted to hospital for
:07:50. > :07:56.harming themselves. Many people think that worries about the
:07:56. > :08:03.economy could be a factor. It was noticed that Worcestershire have a
:08:03. > :08:11.higher national average than -- had a high average than the national
:08:11. > :08:19.one. Gloucestershire had a slightly fewer cases.
:08:19. > :08:25.It is a busy road outside Penny Baines's house. Twice, she sat down
:08:25. > :08:35.in the middle of its hoping to get run over. Car, bus, anything to
:08:35. > :08:36.
:08:36. > :08:42.hurt me. Penny, how many times have you tried to take your life? 30 or
:08:42. > :08:47.40 times. I have tried it at home, I have tried it in hospital. I do
:08:47. > :08:56.not do it for attention, I do not do it because I'm lacking the love
:08:56. > :09:01.in my life, I do it because I feel sad. Her 19-year-old daughter,
:09:01. > :09:06.Christina or, is her full-time carer. She looks after her drugs.
:09:06. > :09:14.Penny's case is extreme, most some farmers just cut themselves. If
:09:14. > :09:19.they appear to be growing in numbers. This hospital saw a rise
:09:19. > :09:24.in sell Farmers, doctors say they are getting better at spotting them.
:09:24. > :09:27.We have developed our self-harm service that both our hospitals.
:09:27. > :09:35.Because of the effectiveness of these teams we have been a lot to
:09:35. > :09:39.identify more cases of self-harm. Penny says there is not enough
:09:39. > :09:44.support in the community. I am more isolated than ever, I was meant to
:09:44. > :09:50.be discharged into the care of a community psychiatric nurse. I have
:09:50. > :09:54.still not been allocated one. Because of the drugs she takes, she
:09:54. > :10:02.cannot drive their own car and she has tried to take her life by
:10:02. > :10:07.driving into the River Avon, one day she hopes all that will change.
:10:07. > :10:13.A very personal story. Still to come tonight, the sole
:10:13. > :10:18.survivor of an industry that once employed thousands, we talk to the

:10:32. > :10:36.The new Chief Constable of West Mercia Police, David Shaw, promised
:10:36. > :10:40.that he could still deliver protection for the public despite
:10:40. > :10:45.cuts to be spending purse. Many forces across the region are having
:10:45. > :10:51.to make cutbacks. 2000 jobs are going at West Midlands police, they
:10:51. > :11:01.are down by �123 million. In Staffordshire, they will be 330 job
:11:01. > :11:02.
:11:02. > :11:10.losses, they are losing �22 million. Warwickshire lost -- loses 430 jobs,
:11:10. > :11:17.Gloucestershire loses 120 jobs, they are �18 million down. West
:11:17. > :11:22.Mercia are �24 million down, losing 287 jobs. Does their new boss face
:11:22. > :11:25.an impossible job? As the Chief Constable of West
:11:25. > :11:30.Mercia Police, David Shaw has a tough job for as cuts start to take
:11:30. > :11:36.hold. When you started as a police officer did you ever envisage
:11:36. > :11:41.having to make these cuts as Chief Constable? I studied politics
:11:41. > :11:50.closely, I know economy is go up and down. The reality was never
:11:50. > :11:58.that is going to be -- that it was never going to be a next. Resources
:11:58. > :12:04.sometimes bottom out. They put us in a difficult position. According
:12:04. > :12:08.to this criminologist they face an impossible task. They are going to
:12:08. > :12:16.have introduced massive cuts, they have their hands tied behind their
:12:16. > :12:21.back. Policy is a turning century, by the Home Office. I know he's a
:12:21. > :12:25.very respected academic, I'm going to disagree with him. Of course I
:12:25. > :12:30.always want more, the that is not the reality that we live in. As a
:12:30. > :12:35.Chief Constable, I do not feel I have my hands tied behind my back.
:12:35. > :12:41.I have a budget, it will give me a very good men and women to get me
:12:41. > :12:46.out on this street protecting the public. -- out on the street
:12:46. > :12:51.protecting the public. They say that substantial cuts are
:12:51. > :12:56.inevitable, people on the streets there was steady mixed response.
:12:56. > :12:59.am not happy at all, if the Government stop wasting money
:12:59. > :13:03.playing around the Afghanis than, we could afford to run this country
:13:03. > :13:07.as we should. If it is something that has to be done him regard to
:13:07. > :13:11.the austerity measures all around the country, perhaps it is
:13:12. > :13:15.something that has to be done. Mercia is looking to put its links
:13:15. > :13:22.with Warwickshire Police. People in Leamington will still be police
:13:22. > :13:29.officers in their locality, that is critical. Whereas will change,
:13:29. > :13:34.whether we can do things once in order to save on overheads, and we
:13:34. > :13:37.will do it once. We have already identified that we can put it in
:13:37. > :13:42.hundred extra people out there delivering the service that we
:13:42. > :13:46.wouldn't have been able to the four hands.
:13:46. > :13:55.Challenges ahead of forces across the region. And for their police
:13:55. > :13:58.chief who started out on the beat Scientists from the University of
:13:58. > :14:04.Warwick are at the forefront of experiments to learn more about how
:14:04. > :14:10.the universe works. It is about neutrinos, tiny particles that are
:14:10. > :14:15.much smaller even than an atom. The experiment is taking place in
:14:15. > :14:19.Japan, which suffered a devastating earthquake and tsunami earlier this
:14:19. > :14:26.year. We report on the first results.
:14:26. > :14:31.In September last year, I visited Japan as the University of Warwick
:14:31. > :14:35.began installing its neutrino detectors. What is a neutrino? Here
:14:35. > :14:41.is how we explained it at the time. Scientists think the whole universe
:14:41. > :14:43.is made up of just 12 different particles which we have represented
:14:44. > :14:53.particles which we have represented with these appropriately Japanese
:14:53. > :14:58.figures. Others are more mysterious. The mysterious but -- the most
:14:58. > :15:02.mysterious is the neutrino. It is this oscillation that the
:15:02. > :15:06.researchers were trying to study. That means sending a beam of
:15:06. > :15:09.neutrinos from the coast, 300 kilometres straight through their
:15:09. > :15:14.Earth to a detector at another laboratory and the centre of the
:15:14. > :15:19.country. Initial results were promising. Then, in March this
:15:20. > :15:26.promising. Then, in March this year... Everybody had to come home
:15:26. > :15:30.as quickly as possible. The primary concern was people's safety. We had
:15:30. > :15:35.an anxious few days scrabbling around trying to find an account
:15:35. > :15:39.for everybody. The good news was, nobody was injured. Everybody was
:15:39. > :15:43.accounted for with a few days. Measurements show that the
:15:43. > :15:49.earthquake moved the entire site one metre out to sea. Researchers
:15:49. > :15:53.are now starting to go back. This is one reason they want to return -
:15:53. > :15:58.it is the earthquake data that shows exactly the neutrino event
:15:58. > :16:03.that researchers were looking for. The data up until the 11th March,
:16:03. > :16:12.when the earthquake result, -- when the earthquake struck, is what the
:16:12. > :16:17.result is based on. We have been pleasantly surprised that they can
:16:17. > :16:23.make some physics statements out of this 2% of data. As the neutrino
:16:23. > :16:26.travelled through Japan, just a few oscillated - that between states -
:16:26. > :16:31.and the researchers managed to measure them. But they need an
:16:31. > :16:37.awful lot more data. In the meantime, the hope is for repair
:16:37. > :16:42.work to continue and to start the experiment again in November.
:16:42. > :16:47.It is fascinating, an intriguing experiment. What does it matter for
:16:47. > :16:53.the rest of us? It is important because it all went back to the Big
:16:53. > :16:57.Bang. In theory, during the Big Bang, equal amounts of matter
:16:57. > :17:00.should have been created which would have come together and
:17:00. > :17:05.annihilating each other, leaving nothing. That is not what happened
:17:05. > :17:11.and what is puzzling physicists was the matter left over. It is the
:17:11. > :17:15.neutrino that is key to that. It is this that has led to the world as
:17:15. > :17:19.we know it. It is amazing how quickly they have recovered

:17:32. > :17:37.It is a tribute to the people who work there that they have managed
:17:37. > :17:41.to contain these problems and repair the site and now they're
:17:41. > :17:46.saying to people like the researchers at the University of
:17:46. > :17:50.Warwick, please come back. We are ready to start.
:17:50. > :17:54.Thank you. We were commenting how wonderful it was that we had the
