:00:08. > :00:12.The headlines tonight. Tragedy of the double holiday death
:00:12. > :00:19.that's left four boys orphaned. People are mystified and we do not
:00:19. > :00:20.really know what happened at all. All we know is that it is just
:00:20. > :00:22.tragic. Businesses are to fund a pilot
:00:22. > :00:25.project to tackle poverty and deprivation.
:00:25. > :00:28.A lot of these young people know very well all the youngsters that
:00:28. > :00:33.were rioting and causing havoc the other week, but they wanted no part
:00:33. > :00:35.of it. Three builders remain in hospital
:00:35. > :00:42.after scaffolding at a school collapsed. An investigation's
:00:42. > :00:45.underway. And after two great wins for Stoke
:00:45. > :00:46.and Blues, the draw's announced for the next stages of the Europa
:00:46. > :00:56.League. Not many 17-year-olds like myself
:00:56. > :01:03.
:01:03. > :01:10.can say that they have played in Good evening, welcome to Friday's
:01:10. > :01:13.Midlands Today from the BBC. Tonight. Double tragedy on holiday.
:01:13. > :01:20.A mother and father have died in separate accidents, leaving their
:01:20. > :01:24.four sons orphans. Roger and Mathilde Lamb died while
:01:24. > :01:27.on holiday in Morocco. It is believed Mathilde, known as Tilly,
:01:27. > :01:30.fell from a window in an apartment where they were staying, while her
:01:30. > :01:34.husband died a few days later after falling from another building. Andy
:01:34. > :01:39.Newman reports. This is Roger Lamb, the second
:01:39. > :01:43.victim of tragically similar accidents. The first killed his
:01:43. > :01:46.wife. It happened in Morocco in the town of Essaouira where the couple
:01:46. > :01:48.had been holidaying. During their stay at the resort Mrs Lamb fell
:01:48. > :01:51.from an apartment window, her injuries proved fatal. Days later,
:01:51. > :02:01.Mr Lamb had a fall in another building. His injuries were also
:02:01. > :02:08.
:02:08. > :02:10.fatal. The couple lived with their four
:02:10. > :02:13.children at Penshen, just outside Pershore. It is a small community
:02:13. > :02:17.struggling to come to terms with the enormity of the tragedy. The
:02:17. > :02:22.idea that the couple could die in separate falls a few days apart is
:02:22. > :02:26.something friends and family are finding it hard to understand. What
:02:26. > :02:33.ever the explanation, it has left four children without a mother and
:02:33. > :02:38.father. People are mystified. We do not really know what happened at
:02:38. > :02:48.all. All we know is that it is tragic, two people have lost their
:02:48. > :02:58.
:02:58. > :03:05.lives. In a statement, the family The mayor of neighbouring Pershore
:03:05. > :03:10.told me that people were full of grief, but also full of questions.
:03:10. > :03:15.There is a lot of stories about the accident. I do not know which ones
:03:15. > :03:20.are true. It certainly seems to be a unique accent and has coast a lot
:03:20. > :03:23.of interest around the world. Mr Lamb had been living in New
:03:23. > :03:26.Zealand where he had gone to get work as an engineer. His holiday in
:03:26. > :03:28.Morocco with his wife would have been rare quality time together.
:03:29. > :03:36.The manner of its ending seemingly a coincidence of circumstances
:03:36. > :03:39.which is hard to comprehend. Our reporter John Maguire is in
:03:39. > :03:46.their home village this evening, John, this is a shocking situation,
:03:46. > :03:52.is there any more information on what happened to the couple?
:03:52. > :03:56.The information it is fairly sparse. And quite confusing. We were told
:03:56. > :04:00.that Mathilde Lamb had fallen over a cliff and her husband had gone to
:04:00. > :04:04.rescue her. It was only later that we discovered that she had fallen
:04:04. > :04:11.from that window on Wednesday night and died in hospital. It seems as
:04:11. > :04:19.if her husband's fall took place some time over the weekend. He died
:04:19. > :04:24.on Monday. What happens next?
:04:24. > :04:33.We know that Mathilde Lamb will be brought back to Wiltshire where she
:04:33. > :04:37.has family members. As regards Roger Lamb, the details for his
:04:37. > :04:42.return are not been given yet. We do know that the four boys are
:04:42. > :04:47.being cared for by family members here in the United Kingdom. We will
:04:47. > :04:49.have to wait for further confirmation of details from the
:04:49. > :04:56.Moroccan police and from the British consulate who are dealing
:04:57. > :05:00.with events in North Africa. Thank you.
:05:00. > :05:03.Still to come this Friday evening. It may be a beautiful place to live,
:05:03. > :05:08.but young people are being priced out of it.
:05:08. > :05:18.I am a Shrewsbury folk festival finding out why this type of music
:05:18. > :05:25.
:05:25. > :05:28.is becoming more popular. 14 people have been jailed or sent
:05:28. > :05:30.to young offenders institutions for burglary, violent disorder and
:05:30. > :05:33.handling stolen goods during the riots in Birmingham and the Black
:05:33. > :05:36.Country. Special courts sat to deal with offenders who were jailed for
:05:36. > :05:42.between two years and 12 weeks. What kind of sentences were given
:05:42. > :05:46.For fairly tough ones. The judge said at the start of proceedings
:05:46. > :05:55.said that civil society had broken down. They had to take into account
:05:56. > :06:05.their context in which the crimes were committed. The they did in
:06:05. > :06:08.court today showed that shop behind be, the Armani Store. A mob of
:06:08. > :06:16.people brogue in and ransacked the police, stealing up to half a
:06:16. > :06:19.million pounds worth of stock. One man was jailed for 21 C even
:06:19. > :06:25.though he only took a T-shirt, handed themselves into police and
:06:25. > :06:29.pleaded guilty. There were plenty of other examples like that. People
:06:29. > :06:32.were jailed for a year and up to three years.
:06:32. > :06:37.What a police had to say? They have said that the CCTV
:06:37. > :06:42.footage has been invaluable. They are even getting film that members
:06:42. > :06:49.of the public shot themselves. The appeasing together what happened.
:06:49. > :06:53.Essentially, they are saying that they will catch you if your a were
:06:53. > :07:01.involved -- if you were involved in the looting. They are publishing
:07:01. > :07:07.photographs as well. It is where the way we do that, but the level
:07:07. > :07:15.of public interest and the desire for people to be named and shamed
:07:15. > :07:25.and has had an influence. The message is that if you do not give
:07:25. > :07:28.
:07:29. > :07:32.yourself up, you will be caught and you may be jailed for even longer.
:07:32. > :07:35.The cost of the riots in our region is still being worked out, but
:07:35. > :07:38.estimates put the damage to Birmingham alone at more than �7
:07:38. > :07:40.million. The cost to the image of Britain around the world is
:07:40. > :07:42.countless. Now the Government is trying out a
:07:42. > :07:45.new idea called Social Impact Schemes. These ask businesses to
:07:45. > :07:47.fund projects to try to reduce crime, anti-social behaviour and
:07:47. > :07:50.poor education. Our special correspondent Peter Wilson has
:07:50. > :08:00.spent the day at one project which is already teaming young people up
:08:00. > :08:04.
:08:04. > :08:06.with Aston Villa Football Club. Hoodies in the rain. This is a
:08:06. > :08:09.Garden of Eden in Newtown Birmingham. The 14 and 16-year-olds
:08:09. > :08:14.have, for the past three months, been growing vegetables, clearing
:08:14. > :08:17.allotment sites and getting used to hard work. The organic produce from
:08:17. > :08:26.St George's Post 16 Centre in Newtown Birmingham is being
:08:26. > :08:32.especially grown for Aston Villa's restaurants. None of these people
:08:32. > :08:35.have been involved and rioting. They are trying to achieve a change.
:08:35. > :08:40.A fortnight ago, as Birmingham decended into chaos these young
:08:40. > :08:44.people were hard at work. I could have been out in it if I wanted to
:08:44. > :08:54.be, a lot of my friends were out of it, but I chose to stay away. I
:08:54. > :09:03.came here. It was kind of crazy, but I still came out of my house to
:09:03. > :09:06.help here. The order for tomatoes and beans is on its way to the
:09:06. > :09:09.Villa ground. This is an enterprise scheme giving young people work
:09:09. > :09:11.experience and business skills. The Government is about to introduce
:09:11. > :09:21.social impact bonds designed to get companies involved in community
:09:21. > :09:21.
:09:21. > :09:26.projects. They work like this. Companies such as Aston Villa could
:09:26. > :09:31.invest in community schemes like this one. If truancy levels or exam
:09:31. > :09:37.results improve or if crime was cut, the Government would pay the
:09:37. > :09:42.company hard cash. But young people's lives are priceless. If
:09:42. > :09:49.they are turned around, how much is that worth? A we are putting stuff
:09:49. > :09:54.back into the community. We are putting produce into the
:09:54. > :09:57.restaurants, we are paying for it and helping the local economy.
:09:57. > :10:03.Birmingham is one of four cities chosen to pilot the new government
:10:03. > :10:07.scheme. Keeping children out of the criminal justice system, keeping
:10:07. > :10:11.them out of care. It that we can tackle some of those really
:10:11. > :10:14.difficult problems, you save money for the taxpayer. The organic
:10:14. > :10:24.vegetables picked and grown by the youngsters were tonight being
:10:24. > :10:26.
:10:26. > :10:29.cooked and served in the Villa restaurant.
:10:29. > :10:31.A 16-year-old boy has been arrested after fire destroyed a pub. Fire
:10:31. > :10:34.crews were called to the Orchard pub in Quedgeley in Gloucester
:10:34. > :10:43.early this morning. At its height, 48 firefighters were at the scene.
:10:43. > :10:53.An investigation into what caused it is under way.
:10:53. > :10:56.
:10:56. > :10:59.A 16-year-old boy has been arrested after fire destroyed a pub.
:11:00. > :11:03.The family of a man who went missing in Libya say he has been
:11:03. > :11:06.found safe and well. Yousef Tabib, seen here on the left, was arrested
:11:06. > :11:09.by Gaddafi's militia back in March. His brother Mohammed, who works as
:11:09. > :11:12.a dental technician in Birmingham, says he and the rest of the family
:11:12. > :11:15.had no idea where he was. But on Wednesday, he had been released
:11:15. > :11:18.from Abu Sleem Prison in Tripoli and returned home. I received a
:11:18. > :11:23.call from my brother, he was crying. I could not hear what he was saying.
:11:23. > :11:26.He was saying that my other brother had been freed. It was so emotional.
:11:26. > :11:28.Three men are still in hospital tonight after scaffolding and part
:11:28. > :11:31.of a school building collapsed. An investigation into how it happened
:11:31. > :11:33.is under way and the construction firm has promised to co-operate
:11:33. > :11:35.fully. Those who heard the steelwork crash
:11:35. > :11:38.down said it sounded like an earthquake. Well, despite the
:11:38. > :11:43.incident, the school says the new term will start on time. Cath
:11:43. > :11:44.Mackie reports. Hanging limply to the wall, the
:11:44. > :11:47.scaffolding canopy makes a dramatic site.
:11:47. > :11:51.Armed with his camera William Gardiner was one of the first at
:11:51. > :12:01.the scene in Madeley in Telford. The neighbour said they had a huge
:12:01. > :12:03.
:12:04. > :12:07.crash. I grabbed my camera. There was one man on a stretcher.
:12:07. > :12:11.Work on the new building at the Abraham Darby Academy began in the
:12:12. > :12:15.spring last year. Obviously, a great deal of shock. We have seen
:12:15. > :12:22.at the building rise out of the grander the last few months, it
:12:22. > :12:26.will be a fantastic new facility, and this is a huge shock.
:12:26. > :12:33.Of the five workers injured, three had cuts, bruises and shock. One is
:12:34. > :12:37.believed to have broken ribs, while the fifth has spinal injuries.
:12:37. > :12:40.Staff and pupils were due to move into the new building in January
:12:40. > :12:43.but no decision on that has been taken yet. But some parents are
:12:43. > :12:53.worried. I am concerned about bringing my children to the new
:12:53. > :12:54.
:12:54. > :12:59.school. Is it could happen again? We have been out and the community,
:12:59. > :13:09.talking to people, hoping to reassure them. We assure them in
:13:09. > :13:10.
:13:10. > :13:12.what way? Reassure them that the school will be opening as planned.
:13:12. > :13:15.Meanwhile the Health and Safety Executive is investigating. Kier
:13:15. > :13:17.Moss says it will co-operate fully. The big question of course is how
:13:17. > :13:20.did this happen? Specialist construction inspectors from the
:13:20. > :13:24.Health and Safety Executive are on site trying to answer that question,
:13:24. > :13:29.but it is going to be some time yet before the full story is known.
:13:29. > :13:31.Cath Mackie, BBC Midlands Today, Telford.
:13:31. > :13:33.Good to have you with us this evening.
:13:33. > :13:36.Coming up. It has been a real rollercoaster
:13:36. > :13:40.week of weather with conditions changing by the hour. So will the
:13:40. > :13:45.Bank Holiday weekend leave us on an up or a down? Join me for the
:13:45. > :13:48.forecast in a few minutes. It's the largest officially
:13:48. > :13:51.designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, but is it becoming
:13:51. > :13:54.a no-go area for many young people born there? The Cotswolds might be
:13:54. > :13:57.admired all over the world, but a shortage of affordable homes means
:13:57. > :14:00.residents cannot afford to live in the area where they are born. Bob
:14:00. > :14:10.Hockenhull has been looking into the problem and finding out what's
:14:10. > :14:12.
:14:12. > :14:15.being done to help struggling workers. It is a beautiful place to
:14:15. > :14:18.be, but houses in the Cotswolds cost 18 times the average salary,
:14:18. > :14:21.making them less affordable than anywhere else in the Midlands.
:14:21. > :14:23.22-year-old Tim Righton was born in the area. He has to live with his
:14:23. > :14:26.mum in Honeybourne in Worcestershire as he can't afford
:14:26. > :14:30.to rent or buy. And, ironically, it's Tim's skills
:14:30. > :14:34.that are helping to preserve one of the Cotswolds best known features.
:14:34. > :14:43.He's a dry stone waller taking home �800 a month. How do you feel about
:14:43. > :14:53.this? It is upsetting. People from London come down and buy holiday
:14:53. > :14:55.
:14:55. > :14:57.homes. The council bought them and sold them of Homes should be for
:14:57. > :15:00.people who live here all the time, not just weekends.
:15:00. > :15:08.In nearby Chipping Campden, estate agent Mark Annett has been selling
:15:08. > :15:11.houses in the North Cotswolds for 32 years. The first cottage I sold
:15:11. > :15:18.was about �14,000. Today it would be �300,000. The cheapest home in
:15:18. > :15:21.his shop window is not much less than that. Without families and
:15:21. > :15:24.young people, second home owners who are not here all the time,
:15:24. > :15:27.retail shops cannot survive. There is no doubt about it, young people
:15:27. > :15:32.who were born here and would like to stay here cannot afford to pay
:15:32. > :15:35.the prices. It is a great shame. The National Housing Federation
:15:35. > :15:45.says a house in the countryside costs on average over �40,000 more
:15:45. > :15:46.
:15:46. > :15:50.than a house in an urban area even though rural wages are lower.
:15:50. > :15:52.There are some some attempts to help. Projects like this in Long
:15:52. > :15:55.Compton in Warwickshire where affordable homes have been
:15:55. > :15:58.subsidised by normal value houses built on the same plot of farm land.
:15:58. > :16:08.The developer here is also involved in other building schemes aimed
:16:08. > :16:12.specifically at locals. This is housing which is built for sale,
:16:12. > :16:16.but there are restrictions on it which means that for the first time
:16:16. > :16:22.it comes on the market, it can only be sold to people from the local
:16:22. > :16:25.community. When they come to sell, the same restrictions apply.
:16:25. > :16:28.For now though, many young people like Tim can only dream that one
:16:28. > :16:31.day they will eventually be able to live independently in their own
:16:31. > :16:37.property in this beautiful part of the Midlands. Bob Hockenhull BBC
:16:37. > :16:40.Midlands Today in the Cotswolds. It certainly is beautiful.
:16:40. > :16:42.Supporters of Stoke City and Birmingham City will need two vital
:16:42. > :16:44.ingredients if they're to follow their teams across Europe this
:16:44. > :16:47.season. An up-to-date passport and plenty of cash.
:16:47. > :16:50.Stoke's man-of-the-match Matthew Upson scored on his home debut. And
:16:50. > :16:57.so did Nathan Redmond, a new teenage sensation at St Andrew's.
:16:57. > :17:01.Ian Winter reports. Midday in Monaco, and the finest
:17:01. > :17:04.brains in European football were hard at work. If 48 teams are
:17:04. > :17:08.placed into 4 pots of 12, then how long should it take UEFA to divide
:17:08. > :17:15.those teams into 12 groups of 4. It felt like a GCSE maths question.
:17:15. > :17:18.And the answer was clearly a long, long time.
:17:18. > :17:22.Plenty of time in fact to reflect on Stoke City's excellent win
:17:22. > :17:25.against FC Thun. New signing Matthew Upson marked his home debut
:17:25. > :17:29.with the opening goal and went on to be man of the match. Five
:17:29. > :17:32.minutes later, Kenwyne Jones made it two. The Swiss knew the game was
:17:32. > :17:41.up when Greg Whelan made it 3-0 before halftime. Jones' second
:17:41. > :17:45.wrapped it up in the second half to leave 24,000 Potters in fine voice.
:17:45. > :17:52.It is great to take their team through to the group stage. We
:17:52. > :17:56.worked so hard last season. This is the award for the players hard work.
:17:56. > :18:04.Back in Monaco, the complicated draw was now in full swing. And yet
:18:04. > :18:07.there was still no sign of... Eureka! The Potters finally
:18:07. > :18:09.appeared and were promptly dispatched to group E to face three
:18:09. > :18:12.marathon journeys to the Ukraine, Turkey and Israel.
:18:12. > :18:14.And so to St Andrew's where Birmingham City were looking for an
:18:14. > :18:17.early goal to settle the nerves against Nacional from Madeira. And
:18:17. > :18:26.what a goal it was. 17-year-old Nathan Redmond on his full debut
:18:26. > :18:29.for his beloved Blues. A local hero to leave the Blues fans jumping.
:18:29. > :18:33.used to set just over there and watch the other players when I was
:18:33. > :18:40.about eight years old when I first joined. Now I am on the pitch and
:18:40. > :18:42.scoring, it is a good feeling. That hard work has paid off.
:18:42. > :18:45.Blues were 2-0 up by halftime thanks to David Murphy's glancing
:18:45. > :18:48.header. And they sealed their place in today's draw when Chris Wood
:18:48. > :18:51.made it 3-0 four minutes from time. Birmingham's next opponents will be
:18:51. > :18:55.Braga of Portugal, Bruges of Belgium and Maribor, the Slovenia
:18:55. > :18:59.side which knocked out Rangers last night.
:18:59. > :19:03.Sadly, proceedings in Monaco were coming to a close. The epic event
:19:04. > :19:06.had taken the best part of an hour. It felt like saying farewell to an
:19:06. > :19:08.old friend. But at least there's another Euro draw tonight.
:19:08. > :19:18.Potentially a good deal more lucrative and definitely far
:19:18. > :19:21.shorter. Exciting times.
:19:21. > :19:24.Meanwhile, Aston Villa have agreed to sell full-back Luke Young to
:19:24. > :19:28.Queens Park Rangers, which means he will miss tomorrow's local derby
:19:29. > :19:32.against Wolves at Villa Park. That will be music to the ears of
:19:32. > :19:35.the Wolves boss Mick McCarthy who warmed up for the game by cycling a
:19:35. > :19:38.half marathon this week for charity. His team have made an impressive
:19:38. > :19:44.start to the season, winning their opening two matches in the Premier
:19:45. > :19:50.League. We deserve to win. We played well
:19:50. > :20:00.in the games. There are times when you get a result and you think a...
:20:00. > :20:06.But to play well and deserve to them is better. There have been no
:20:06. > :20:13.easy games. This game is the most imported one of the season. You
:20:13. > :20:18.have to look for words. You have to look at the next one. It is a home
:20:18. > :20:21.game, we have been fortunate enough to have two home games. You always
