:00:07. > :00:16.The headlines tonight: Failed at every turn, why did three hospitals

:00:16. > :00:22.fail to diagnose a teenager's TB which then killed her? All of their

:00:22. > :00:27.commissions were devastated by the fact they had not made the

:00:27. > :00:31.diagnosis of. Hundreds in the queue, symbol of the desperate scramble

:00:31. > :00:38.for jobs in the region. Ten years on, a son remembers the

:00:38. > :00:48.father who died on 9/11. A this is the 10th anniversary and for me it

:00:48. > :00:49.

:00:49. > :00:52.is very much the time to draw a line.

:00:52. > :01:02.And up close and personal, as the rugby world cup sends passions

:01:02. > :01:03.

:01:03. > :01:10.Good evening and welcome to Friday's Midlands Today from the

:01:10. > :01:13.BBC. Tonight, the parents of a teenage girl who died from

:01:13. > :01:16.tuberculosis say she was failed at every turn by doctors. They took

:01:16. > :01:19.15-year-old Alina Sarag to three hospitals and all failed to

:01:19. > :01:22.diagnose her. The BBC can reveal that one

:01:22. > :01:26.hospital didn't identify TB from an X-ray and cancelled a simple test

:01:26. > :01:33.which could have shown the disease. Our health correspondent, Michele

:01:33. > :01:36.Paduano, has this exclusive report. Alina Sarag died earlier this year

:01:36. > :01:44.from TB, having been in constant agony for four months. Her parents

:01:44. > :01:48.tried desperately to find out what was wrong. Appalling, disgusting.

:01:48. > :01:53.There was no response for anything, even though we were telling them

:01:53. > :01:57.that she was vomiting. She was eating something, she would eat a

:01:57. > :02:04.great, chivvied into six pieces. Within a minute, they would come

:02:04. > :02:08.back. It was at this school during 2009, but she was diagnosed with

:02:08. > :02:13.dormant tuberculosis. She was treated with antibiotics but none

:02:13. > :02:23.of the stick -- an independent investigation found they had not

:02:23. > :02:24.

:02:24. > :02:26.The trust which runs the clinic said, we have completed an internal

:02:26. > :02:29.investigation into the care provided to Alina Sarag by

:02:29. > :02:32.Birmingham Chest Clinic and an action plan has been developed with

:02:32. > :02:34.our clinicians. A year later after a holiday in Pakistan, Alina became

:02:34. > :02:37.ill. First she was taken to Heartlands Hospital. It found

:02:37. > :02:40.nothing wrong. She went to Birmingham Children's Hospital. It

:02:40. > :02:43.queried typhoid or an infestation. Then the family took her to City

:02:43. > :02:47.and Sandwell hospitals where her best chance was lost. So why to

:02:47. > :02:55.different hospitals? We took her to different hospitals because we were

:02:55. > :03:01.hoping that somebody would pick up what was wrong with her. We thought

:03:01. > :03:07.maybe a better Dr would pick up what was wrong with her. We were

:03:07. > :03:10.failed at every turn. She was brought here to the accident and

:03:10. > :03:20.emergency where a junior doctor did carry out a thorough investigation.

:03:20. > :03:24.

:03:24. > :03:26.He advised a test on her flam up but was overruled. -- phlegm.

:03:26. > :03:31.Radiologist, who examined the x-ray thought TB unlikely. A radiologist

:03:31. > :03:34.who examined the X-ray for the review thought it was TB. The

:03:34. > :03:36.hospitals medical director admits that there were mistakes with Miss

:03:36. > :03:39.Sarag's care, but not in the hospital's systems. He insisted

:03:39. > :03:48.that not diagnosing TB from the X- ray was reasonable and

:03:49. > :03:52.understandable. The recommendation was to see how she goes. If it was

:03:52. > :03:58.still an issue, we would have repeated the X-ray further down the

:03:58. > :04:04.line and think about further tests. Finally, Birmingham children's

:04:04. > :04:10.Hospital decided it was all in her head. Alina Sarag was sent to a

:04:10. > :04:16.psychologist, but was too ill for the assessment. She died on the day

:04:16. > :04:20.she was due to go back. Michele is here in the studio now.

:04:20. > :04:23.Michele, we know TB is on the rise again, but this case suggests the

:04:23. > :04:27.health service hasn't got a firm grasp of the issue, doesn't it?

:04:27. > :04:32.This is only one case and TB is difficult to diagnose. I feel sorry

:04:32. > :04:34.for the hospital because at least they considered the possibility.

:04:34. > :04:39.Heartlands hospital knew the history but did not do a chest X-

:04:39. > :04:44.ray. The Children's Hospital had two opportunities and didn't even

:04:44. > :04:49.consider it. Jacky Chambers things they do need to raise awareness.

:04:49. > :04:53.think everyone needs to be aware that tuberculosis is still around

:04:54. > :04:59.in the city. It is very important that we educate all of our doctors,

:04:59. > :05:03.both family and hospital doctors, to be conscious and alert for the

:05:03. > :05:09.symptoms and signs of tuberculosis, particularly the more unusual forms.

:05:09. > :05:13.That is what we are taking forward right now. She also wants to be

:05:13. > :05:18.able to flag up these potential cases between different hospitals.

:05:18. > :05:24.I'm afraid as far as the inquest is concerned, we will have to wait

:05:24. > :05:27.until next year. Still ahead tonight: what needs to be done to

:05:27. > :05:37.ensure the business jewel in Birmingham's crown shines even

:05:37. > :05:37.

:05:37. > :05:41.A graphic illustration of unemployment rates in the region

:05:41. > :05:45.was there for all to see in the Black Country today, as more than

:05:45. > :05:48.1,500 people chased 500 jobs. Huge queues snaked all around a

:05:48. > :05:51.college campus in Bilston in the scramble for the posts. Joanne

:05:51. > :05:55.Writtle reports. This was the scene outside the City of Wolverhampton

:05:55. > :05:58.College as people queued around the building at a jobs fair. Among them

:05:58. > :06:03.three women made redundant yesterday when the supermarket they

:06:03. > :06:12.worked in closed down in Willenhall. Joanne Cook had clocked up 33 years

:06:12. > :06:21.service. I feel numb at the minute. It has not sunk in. On Monday

:06:21. > :06:26.morning, one I'm getting up for work, and will realise 10th lost --

:06:26. > :06:29.I will realise that that point. Thomas Whyte was made redundant in

:06:29. > :06:33.March. He's 61 and was a carpenter and repair team leader for a

:06:33. > :06:38.housing trust for 15 years. It is hard for my generation. If my wife

:06:38. > :06:44.was not in work, we would be in a desperate situation and might even

:06:44. > :06:51.lose our house. Inside, organisers and employers saw a non-stop stream

:06:51. > :06:55.of people. More than Hampton -- Wolverhampton is a place where

:06:55. > :06:59.people are keen to take positive actions to get back into were.

:06:59. > :07:05.is the scale of people looking for work and there are still more

:07:05. > :07:11.queuing outside. 25 employers are here with a potential 500 temporary

:07:11. > :07:17.and permanent jobs on offer. Thomas, from Wednesfield, tried to sell his

:07:17. > :07:21.skills to everyone. I am feeling this could be an opening for me. I

:07:21. > :07:23.would like to get my foot in the door. Meanwhile, the redundant shop

:07:23. > :07:31.workers we saw earlier were optimistic about interviews with

:07:31. > :07:37.other stores. You will hear from me this evening, OK, so you can come

:07:37. > :07:42.in for us. Good luck with your application. As for Thomas...

:07:42. > :07:46.are a number of companies who are asking me to apply and some have

:07:46. > :07:54.promised me an interview. This is 1000 % better than the response

:07:54. > :07:58.I've been getting for the last six months. I've got a couple of weeks

:07:58. > :08:08.left to find so thing. Hours after opening, people were still arriving

:08:08. > :08:10.

:08:10. > :08:14.to queue. Walsall council has accidentally

:08:14. > :08:18.dumped personal details in his kit. Hundreds of documents were found.

:08:18. > :08:22.The statements were thrown away by a contractor on the council's

:08:22. > :08:32.behalf. Plans for a train station at the

:08:32. > :08:34.

:08:34. > :08:40.Rico arena and a major upgrade of their line have moved a step closer.

:08:40. > :08:43.-- Ricoh. On Sunday, millions will remember a

:08:43. > :08:45.day that shook the world, September 11th 2001 when terrorists flew two

:08:45. > :08:51.planes into New York's Twin Towers. Memorial events are taking place,

:08:52. > :08:54.and prayers will be said at church services across the West Midlands.

:08:54. > :08:56.In this special report, Ben Godfrey's been to meet people from

:08:56. > :09:06.our region whose lives fundamentally changed on that

:09:06. > :09:15.

:09:15. > :09:20.On September the 11th 2001, New Yorkers greeted a cool, cloudless

:09:20. > :09:29.morning. But a tragedy was about to unfold as people from the Midlands

:09:29. > :09:36.were heading into work at the World Trade Centre. The sky turned black

:09:36. > :09:39.and the degree, you could see... We were inside at that time. Andrew

:09:39. > :09:42.Philpott from Worcester was helping to launch the American arm of an IT

:09:43. > :09:45.business. He was eating breakfast in the north tower when the first

:09:45. > :09:52.hijacked plane struck. This hotel room card, a chilling reminder that

:09:52. > :09:55.he and colleagues survived this atrocity. We had to escape from the

:09:55. > :10:00.building is wearing what we had. Have got the ship still which has

:10:00. > :10:04.got burn marks in because of the aviation fuel that was coming down.

:10:04. > :10:06.-- I have got. With explosions being seen across the skyline, CNN

:10:06. > :10:16.correspondent Patricia Sabga was despatched to file eyewitness

:10:16. > :10:21.reports. Paddy, are you there? here. About an hour ago, I was on

:10:21. > :10:25.the corner of Broadway and another street, 1000 yards from the World

:10:25. > :10:28.Trade Centre. The first tower collapsed. There was a massive

:10:28. > :10:32.explosion. This morning, she was on BBC Hereford and Worcester

:10:32. > :10:42.recalling a moment that changed her life. For a split second, I thought

:10:42. > :10:42.

:10:42. > :10:47.I'm going to do I. -- going to die. She became a war correspondent,

:10:47. > :10:54.then married an ex SAS officer and moved to Worcestershire. This one

:10:54. > :10:57.woman started screaming at me. She said I need to phone my family.

:10:57. > :11:03.Coventry, as he watched on television, one name was all Rob

:11:03. > :11:07.Halligan was waiting to hear. That of his father Bob. He was working

:11:07. > :11:13.for an insurance firm on the 99th floor of the south tower. His

:11:13. > :11:23.remains have never been found. was a real Englishman in New York.

:11:23. > :11:28.

:11:28. > :11:31.He loved his English eccentricities. 9/11 changed Rob's life. He pursued

:11:31. > :11:36.his passion for music, this song he filmed on the streets of New York.

:11:36. > :11:41.He's also raised more than �25,000 for charity. How do you feel toured

:11:41. > :11:46.the perpetrators of this atrocity? Any sense of forgiveness? Sometimes

:11:46. > :11:50.I can say yes, sometimes I can say and working on it. I think they're

:11:50. > :12:00.wrong a lot of other issues. You have to look at why it happened, go

:12:00. > :12:04.back beyond that time to find out... You need to draw a little bit of a

:12:04. > :12:09.line under the last 10 years and say it is time to move on and now,

:12:09. > :12:13.and hopefully find a bit of closure. There are other families in the

:12:13. > :12:23.Midlands whose loved ones were killed on 9/11. Here and on Sunday,

:12:23. > :12:28.

:12:28. > :12:38.they've chosen a time of quiet That poignant anniversary comes on

:12:38. > :12:41.

:12:41. > :12:43.Sunday. You can read more about the anniversary on our Facebook page.

:12:43. > :12:45.Jewellers in one of Birmingham's most historic districts called for

:12:45. > :12:48.greater business support from the Government today.

:12:48. > :12:51.The Jewellery Quarter dates back more than 250 years and is still

:12:51. > :12:54.home to over 400 jewellery companies. But many of those firms

:12:54. > :12:56.face big challenges for the future. Made in the Jewellery Quarter,

:12:56. > :13:01.Birmingham. A platinum gold ring, in the expert hands of jeweller

:13:01. > :13:07.James Newman. Our customer is really looking for something

:13:07. > :13:09.special, something unique, something original. James Newman

:13:09. > :13:16.joined others in banging the drum for Birmingham manufacturing, for

:13:16. > :13:18.the benefit of this man. A good to meet you, welcome. Martin

:13:18. > :13:21.Donnelly's job is to advise ministers in the Department for

:13:21. > :13:26.Business and at the School of Jewellery he met company bosses who

:13:26. > :13:29.had plenty to say. Lots of discussions about skills. Good

:13:29. > :13:32.taking him say that this current government gets manufacturing but

:13:32. > :13:37.we need to see growth coming through. Manufacturing as a whole

:13:37. > :13:40.has suffered through cheap overseas competition. 30,000 people worked

:13:40. > :13:43.in the jewellery trade in Birmingham at the turn of the 20th

:13:43. > :13:52.century. It's now around 2,000. But this isn't about trying to compete

:13:52. > :13:55.against cheap foreign imports. The story now is not volume but value,

:13:55. > :13:58.and the job they are trying to do here is promote the Jewellery

:13:58. > :14:01.Quarter as the place to come for high quality, high value goods.

:14:01. > :14:04.often people don't know what Birmingham has to offer. We have an

:14:04. > :14:10.amazing wealth of activity in the jewellery Quarter. The half high-

:14:10. > :14:14.end automotive and specialist, high value added manufacturing. We need

:14:14. > :14:17.to celebrate his it. And it was a message the man from the ministry

:14:17. > :14:21.was taking on board. The high quality luxury-goods market is

:14:21. > :14:26.growing fast with a new consumers in Asia and elsewhere. This is a

:14:26. > :14:31.real opportunity for Birmingham. The quality of high-end product and

:14:31. > :14:34.design is world-beating. And as he left he promised to return and in

:14:34. > :14:44.the meantime promote the city. It's likely many people will hold him to

:14:44. > :15:00.

:15:00. > :15:04.Wakeman School and arts college has a good reputation. This year's

:15:04. > :15:10.GCSEs with the best ever. But its pupil numbers are at an all-time

:15:10. > :15:15.low and despite months of protests culminating in this demonstration,

:15:15. > :15:19.at Shire Hall, the decision to close was taken. The pupils have

:15:19. > :15:22.mocked up a crime scene because they believe it is criminal for

:15:22. > :15:27.their score to be closed and they are doing it right under the

:15:27. > :15:31.meeting rooms where those decisions are being made. They should see our

:15:31. > :15:37.school for how it is and that it is a good school which should not shy.

:15:37. > :15:39.If you get rid of the family, it will be an incredible a disaster.

:15:39. > :15:43.Emotive as their arguments are, they were not enough to change

:15:43. > :15:48.minds and the council said it was not viable to run a more than half

:15:48. > :15:54.empty school. The school buildings can accommodate around 670 pupils.

:15:54. > :16:01.But at present, there are just 230. For a minute there was talk of

:16:01. > :16:07.school closures, obviously parents link that with our school and

:16:07. > :16:11.started to be concerned about their children coming here. -- from the

:16:11. > :16:17.minute there was talk. I've lost about 180 children in the last few

:16:17. > :16:20.months. So now the fight is on with the school claiming that these

:16:20. > :16:23.Council's consultation process will flawed. There were numerous

:16:23. > :16:26.complaints to the ombudsman and there are now investigating

:16:26. > :16:31.Shropshire council to see whether or not they are guilty of

:16:31. > :16:35.maladministration for example. There is also the adjudicator. If

:16:35. > :16:39.they look at the case, I am fairly confident it would be rejected and

:16:39. > :16:45.the council would have to support the school in repairing the damage

:16:45. > :16:53.that the council has done to it. The school is it Scheduled to close

:16:53. > :16:56.in 2013 but the real fight to keep it open has only just begun.

:16:56. > :16:59.Shropshire council told us they refute all claims of

:16:59. > :17:03.maladministration, saying it has been a very difficult decision to

:17:03. > :17:11.close the school. They are absolutely satisfied they followed

:17:11. > :17:14.correct processes to the letter. Still to come tonight: the answer

:17:14. > :17:18.to this question, ahead of Europe's largest free arts festival - what

:17:18. > :17:21.links these two photos? And I'll be here with a look ahead

:17:21. > :17:31.to a blustery autumnal weekend, which could have a real sting in

:17:31. > :17:32.

:17:32. > :17:34.its tail. All the details coming up 600 years ago, an unknown Midlander

:17:34. > :17:37.commissioned a book or compilation of texts. It's called the Vernon

:17:37. > :17:46.Manuscript, extremely long and it's been described as one of the

:17:46. > :17:49.greatest treasures of early English literature.

:17:49. > :17:52.It's also unheard of, outside the Oxford library where it's kept. But

:17:52. > :17:55.now the book has been digitised. And for researchers it's a chance

:17:55. > :18:04.to hear how it might have sounded centuries ago. Here's our science

:18:04. > :18:07.correspondent David Gregory. The Vernon manuscript, poetry and

:18:07. > :18:13.prose for pious readers written in 1400. And written in a West

:18:13. > :18:23.Midlands dialect. It is written on a calf skin and it is thought it

:18:23. > :18:24.

:18:24. > :18:26.took 200 animals. You can now fit it all on one DVD. So while the

:18:26. > :18:29.manuscript remains locked in the Bodlean Library in Oxford, the

:18:29. > :18:33.words are returning to the Midlands home to the dialect they were

:18:33. > :18:37.written in. A lot of the key characteristics of the accents now

:18:37. > :18:47.were already there 600 years ago. We are studying the relationship

:18:47. > :18:56.

:18:56. > :19:01.between the two. You is often Researchers from the University of

:19:01. > :19:04.Birmingham are now touring Birmingham and the Black Country.

:19:27. > :19:32.home is... I might ask him if forgiveness and all my sins...

:19:32. > :19:36.Reading 600 year-old texts takes some practice but the hope is that

:19:36. > :19:45.one day this manuscript will go on display back in the Midlands, where

:19:45. > :19:49.it came from. If you would like to read the resit

:20:06. > :20:09.While West Bromwich Albion will be desperate to kick start their

:20:09. > :20:12.season, no points so far after their first three games. They've

:20:13. > :20:20.conceded late goals in all three. But manager Roy Hodgson doesn't

:20:20. > :20:24.think it'll be an ongoing problem. The timing of the goals as one of

:20:24. > :20:29.those things that happens in football. Goals are scored in early

:20:29. > :20:36.and they are scored late. Sometimes you can make a big mistake trying

:20:36. > :20:42.to read something into it which actually is not they have. -- is

:21:57. > :22:02.children or rugby. It was good how they used their facial expressions

:22:02. > :22:08.and how they danced. I thought it was a bit weird but I really

:22:08. > :22:12.enjoyed it. Were used get? really. It was scary in some parts

:22:12. > :22:16.but enjoyed one as well. Maybe this wasn't the right moment to remind

:22:16. > :22:22.them that that New Zealand have not won the World Cup since 1987. If

:22:22. > :22:28.they don't win it on old -- home soil, how about England? You never

:22:28. > :22:33.know. Semi-finals, without a doubt, I hope they can do all the way to

:24:46. > :24:49.to come back and recreate those images. Unlike 32 years ago,

:24:49. > :24:53.participants will be able to walk away with a print for now. But

:24:53. > :24:57.their photos won't be wasted. They will end up here, the new library

:24:57. > :25:05.of Birmingham. But we will have to wait until 2013 to take a look,

:25:08. > :25:16.appear across the city between now and the end of the month, offering
