:00:23. > :00:27.Thieves and to the misery to householders whose homes have been

:00:52. > :00:57.Welcome to the start of the week here on Midlands Today. 100 days
:00:57. > :01:01.after the riots, a warning that youth services are in crisis. One
:01:01. > :01:03.youth worker says the young people she deal was wave are facing the
:01:03. > :01:07.toughest times in more than 25 years.
:01:07. > :01:11.We have spoken to 14 youth associations in the Midlands
:01:11. > :01:16.representing hundreds of voluntary organisations which have had their
:01:16. > :01:20.funding cut and fear their futures are under threat. To youth workers

:01:30. > :01:35.outside Birmingham's Mailbox Shopping Centre. The images of the
:01:35. > :01:40.riots in August, greed and consumerism. 100 days after the
:01:40. > :01:44.riots, what lessons, if any, are there to be learnt? I have been
:01:44. > :01:51.talking to people who were working with the next generation and I have
:01:51. > :01:55.also been listening to young people. The Stonehouse Gang, a youth club
:01:55. > :01:59.in Selly Oak. You are on your journey... Lesley Franklin is a
:01:59. > :02:05.human dynamo, constantly encouraging young people from every
:02:05. > :02:13.age group. This year she was awarded an MBE. Have funding of
:02:13. > :02:20.�20,000 has now been cut. It is as tough as ever. I do not know how it
:02:20. > :02:25.is going to get any easier. It is the 1970s, this is the Stonehouse
:02:25. > :02:29.Gang's founder Harry Webb. He was a newspaper journalist who set up the
:02:29. > :02:34.club in 1938 after seeing young people going through the courts
:02:34. > :02:38.accused of anti-social behaviour. For more than 70 years, the gang
:02:38. > :02:48.has changed young people's live for the better. For how much younger --
:02:48. > :02:49.
:02:49. > :02:54.longer? It is frightening. How can we possibly a find the money that
:02:55. > :03:00.has been cut, not just for this year, but for every other year?
:03:00. > :03:04.Lincoln Moses is another MBE e hold up. His football teams have taken
:03:04. > :03:09.youngsters out of Birmingham's toughest estates. He is a
:03:09. > :03:13.despairing after losing his grant of �18,000. With the lack of funds,
:03:13. > :03:18.there is not much you can do to engage or empowered the young
:03:18. > :03:22.people. The young people will make the wrong decisions and they are
:03:22. > :03:29.very guilty of making the wrong decisions. 100 days on, what do
:03:29. > :03:32.young people think about the riots? I sat down with 15 and 16 year olds
:03:32. > :03:36.at Perry Beeches School in Great Barr. They have had classes
:03:36. > :03:39.discussing the issues and special assemblies. Many of these
:03:39. > :03:44.youngsters were told to stay indoors by their parents when the
:03:44. > :03:49.looting took place. I do not feel much sympathy for those in the
:03:49. > :03:53.riots because I thought it was cheap opportunism. People have
:03:53. > :03:57.improved. We are trying to build up our reputation, especially in our
:03:57. > :04:04.school and community. I felt embarrassed at the time that it was
:04:04. > :04:07.happening because you do not feel it is -- you do not feel proud it
:04:07. > :04:12.is happening in your country. Birmingham City Council did not
:04:12. > :04:18.want to take part in this report. They have had to cut �1.7 million
:04:18. > :04:22.from a youth service budget. They say that less than a third of under
:04:22. > :04:26.18-year-olds work involved in the riots. Although Hampton are looking
:04:26. > :04:35.to cut half a million pounds from its huge budget. Where the riots a
:04:35. > :04:41.blip or a sign of the Times? I feel people may riot again because I do
:04:41. > :04:48.not see many pragmatic changes and much difference made to their lives
:04:48. > :04:52.in the hundred days since the riots. I fear that but I would say, look,
:04:52. > :04:57.at let's get our young people on board. Every council in our region
:04:57. > :05:05.is consulting people over the scale of the cuts to youth services. It
:05:05. > :05:09.costs just �1.20 for a child to attend the Stonehouse Gang. That is
:05:10. > :05:14.money that these young people feel is well spent.
:05:14. > :05:18.We are joined now from Westminster by James Morris, the MP for
:05:18. > :05:23.Halesowen and Rowley Regis. He serves on the communities and local
:05:23. > :05:28.government select committee. Good evening. Is it time now to protect
:05:28. > :05:32.youth centres from the cuts? understand the importance of youth
:05:32. > :05:36.services but I do not think it is directly relevant to what happened
:05:36. > :05:40.in August. The riots in Birmingham were an act of organised
:05:40. > :05:45.criminality and we can't get away from that fact. It was not some
:05:45. > :05:50.kind of crisis to do with the youth. This was to do with organised
:05:50. > :05:56.criminality. Not condoning crime or criminals, or anything like that, I
:05:56. > :06:01.am looking at the situation. High youth unemployment, deprivation and
:06:01. > :06:05.boredom. Terrible things. All ingredients than it can lead people
:06:05. > :06:09.into crime. That is why the government has taken two
:06:09. > :06:12.initiatives. The Prime Minister announced a couple of weeks ago the
:06:12. > :06:16.establishment of a new unit which is going to be looking at turning
:06:16. > :06:23.round the lives of Britain's 120,000 Most Honourable families in
:06:23. > :06:29.Britain. The Home Secretary announced the implementation of a
:06:29. > :06:34.new plan for tackling youth violence -- the 100,000 most
:06:34. > :06:38.vulnerable families. We are taking issues of social breakdown in
:06:38. > :06:41.certain areas of society very seriously. We heard from youth
:06:42. > :06:46.workers who say it is the worst time they have ever seen for money
:06:46. > :06:51.and funding for youth projects. What are you going to do to inspire
:06:51. > :06:56.young people when it seems like everything is against them? They
:06:56. > :06:59.have not got a job and let us remember that not everyone is a
:07:00. > :07:04.natural self-starter. People need help. The statutory youth provision
:07:04. > :07:08.is under pressure but across our communities they are still a number
:07:08. > :07:12.of very innovative community and voluntary groups working with young
:07:12. > :07:17.people. We need to make sure that we harnessed that the vibrancy to
:07:17. > :07:21.tackle some of these problems to do with young people. It is not always
:07:21. > :07:26.the statutory provision that is the best in our countries. We need to
:07:26. > :07:29.find ways for the voluntary sector to innovate. That does not take
:07:29. > :07:32.away from the fact that the riots were organised criminality and we
:07:32. > :07:37.need to tackle some of the underlying problems, improving
:07:37. > :07:43.school discipline and getting back to supporting families. Thank you
:07:44. > :07:48.very much. Still to come, back to the day jobs
:07:48. > :07:53.for the Stourbridge striker whose FA Cup heroics won his team a
:07:53. > :07:57.second chance against the professionals in Plymouth.
:07:57. > :08:01.Thieves have been preying on flood victims whose homes were devastated
:08:01. > :08:05.by a burst water main. Wearing high-visibility jackets and posing
:08:05. > :08:10.as council workers, they have stolen possessions piled up on
:08:10. > :08:15.driveways. They start as a huge clear-up operation got under way.
:08:15. > :08:19.The latest dramatic pictures to emerge from the flight as a 2
:08:19. > :08:23.million litres of water from a burst water main were released on
:08:23. > :08:28.to this estate. Today as the huge clear-up operation continued, news
:08:28. > :08:33.that thieves had been targeting the flood victims with possessions
:08:33. > :08:37.piled high outside people's homes, it is reported that scrap the yet -
:08:37. > :08:42.- scrap dealers have been removing valuable items. The pensioner who
:08:42. > :08:47.lives here have lost a washing machines, tumble dryer and a fridge
:08:48. > :08:52.freezer from her drive. Dreadful. Disgusting, what people can do to
:08:52. > :08:58.the likes of anybody. The losses caused by the flood were big enough
:08:58. > :09:03.without the intervention of the fees. Around 150,000 homes were
:09:03. > :09:07.damaged. Sifting through the wreckage at her house, this lady is
:09:07. > :09:12.one of many residents forced to move out and stay with relatives.
:09:12. > :09:16.Even now, I keep waking up and think, it has not happened. The
:09:16. > :09:20.fright of waking up to water in the house and getting my seven-month-
:09:20. > :09:24.old out to safety, it was frightening. Although the water was
:09:24. > :09:30.in people's homes for a short period of time compared to flooding
:09:30. > :09:36.from, say, a Rivera, the damage is substantial and extensive and will
:09:36. > :09:40.take many weeks or months or even longer to prepare for -- repair.
:09:40. > :09:44.As council binmen help with the clear-up, the council leader called
:09:44. > :09:50.for assurances from the water company involved. We want them to
:09:50. > :09:54.give us an assurance, that all of the water mains are safe,
:09:54. > :09:59.maintained, so we do not see a repeat of this. This was without
:09:59. > :10:05.doubt a freak event. Everyone here is hoping that it also turns out to
:10:05. > :10:10.be a unique event. The family of a vulnerable disabled
:10:10. > :10:13.woman who was tortured and murdered have hit out at a report that says
:10:13. > :10:18.her death could not have been prevented. A serious case review
:10:18. > :10:21.into the death of 27-year-old Gemma Hayter concluded that there weren't
:10:21. > :10:24.numerous missed opportunities to help her. Her sister believes that
:10:24. > :10:28.the authorities could have done more.
:10:28. > :10:31.27-year-old Gemma Hayter was a vulnerable young adult who would
:10:31. > :10:35.endure abuse in return for friendship. There was such a
:10:35. > :10:40.situation which led to her death. She was systematically beaten
:10:40. > :10:44.before choking on and blood on this disused railway line in Rugby. In
:10:44. > :10:48.September, three of her so-called friends were jailed for murder. Two
:10:48. > :10:52.others were jailed for manslaughter. The serious case review looked into
:10:52. > :10:56.the role of various agencies who had dealing with verve including
:10:56. > :11:01.the police, local housing associations and health trusts. It
:11:01. > :11:05.found that no single agency had a full picture of what was going on.
:11:05. > :11:09.In short, there were missed opportunities. The report does not
:11:09. > :11:14.name or shame any individual agency but Gemma's family believe they
:11:14. > :11:18.were let down but Warwickshire social services. All of the
:11:18. > :11:25.instances that they have dug up and the times they could have helped
:11:25. > :11:30.her, it is devastating. It is maddening. It is incredibly sad.
:11:30. > :11:36.The report also stated there was no evidence that Gemma's murder could
:11:36. > :11:41.have been prevented or predicted. There were systems problems for
:11:41. > :11:45.some of the health services and for social care which we have already
:11:45. > :11:51.addressed by setting up a single point of access so all referrals
:11:51. > :11:55.for vulnerable adults come into one. And in fact, we now have a legally
:11:55. > :12:00.binding partnership arrangement. Warwickshire County Council has now
:12:00. > :12:06.written to Gemma's family offering an apology and say they are
:12:06. > :12:08.continuing to implement their findings.
:12:08. > :12:13.Luxury car maker Jaguar Land Rover has seen another rise in global
:12:13. > :12:19.sales. The number of vehicles sold rose 16% in the last three months.
:12:19. > :12:24.Sales in China continued to power ahead, up by a staggering 87%.
:12:24. > :12:28.However, sales in the UK and Europe remain flat because of continued
:12:28. > :12:32.economic worries. Our transport correspondent is at a Jaguar
:12:32. > :12:37.dealership tonight. This is more good news, after last week's
:12:37. > :12:40.decision to hire an extra 1000 workers at Solihull? Indeed, it is.
:12:41. > :12:44.There seems to be no stopping Jaguar Land Rover. If they are due
:12:44. > :12:49.to have their work force of around 20,000 people, more than they had
:12:49. > :12:54.before the recession. Growth seems to be rid -- powered by growth in
:12:54. > :13:01.China. Also, Russia, Brazil, and India. They have more money and
:13:01. > :13:06.they want a quality product. What about the other side of things?
:13:06. > :13:12.Should we be worried that sales in the UK are flat? 75% of everything
:13:12. > :13:18.that Jaguar Land Rover makes is exported. 12% goes to China. There
:13:18. > :13:24.are worries over the eurozone crisis. They wait and see approach
:13:24. > :13:28.being adopted by many people. There is also talk of a 10% drop in car
:13:28. > :13:32.sales in Europe next year. It is a worrying trend.
:13:32. > :13:37.Thank you. The government has been accused of abandoning Stoke-on-
:13:37. > :13:40.Trent after pulling the plug on a regeneration scheme. People living
:13:40. > :13:44.on a boarded up straight say it is like being in a war-torn country.
:13:44. > :13:54.The government says it will be providing a multi- million pounds
:13:54. > :13:55.
:13:55. > :13:59.Stoke-on-Trent has been livid -- living with boarded-up streets ever
:13:59. > :14:03.since the government pulled funding on a major programme to the new
:14:03. > :14:09.housing stock. It has left people like Florence Walker living in
:14:09. > :14:13.limbo. I've spent a fortune on my house over the years. Luckily my
:14:13. > :14:18.house is stopping, but the only thing is, if you look round the
:14:18. > :14:22.area, it is not a nice area any more. It looks as though I live in
:14:22. > :14:27.their group. Now a Manchester University professor has accused
:14:27. > :14:30.the government of giving up on the Midlands. Ideologically this
:14:30. > :14:35.government doesn't believe in intervention, it believes in sink
:14:35. > :14:38.or swim depending on how competitive places are. Large parts
:14:38. > :14:42.of the North of England and Midlands are being left to sink
:14:42. > :14:46.because they are not competitive. The government refused to be
:14:46. > :14:49.interviewed but issued a statement saying the regeneration programme
:14:49. > :14:53.in Stoke-on-Trent wasn't working but they would shortly be
:14:53. > :14:58.allocating a fund to help people who have been trapped in half
:14:58. > :15:02.demolished areas. Brendan Nevin thinks things are so bad in Stoke
:15:02. > :15:06.the end the auction people now have is to leave. Hundreds of millions
:15:06. > :15:10.of pounds worth of investment has been made which will be lost. It
:15:10. > :15:18.sent a message to local people if they want a good standard of life
:15:18. > :15:24.they have to leave. Mary will have more background on
:15:24. > :15:27.Inside Out tonight at 7:30pm. Tomorrow morning BBC Stoker will
:15:27. > :15:33.host a debate on why it regenerating the City is taking so
:15:33. > :15:37.long, that is from 11am. The Prime Minister has been in
:15:37. > :15:41.Birmingham to talk about trading opportunities with Holland. He
:15:41. > :15:44.joined the Dutch Prime Minister Marc Rutter on a visit to
:15:44. > :15:49.Birmingham Science Park, shown some of the new technologies being
:15:49. > :15:54.developed in the city. A survey of employers says Britain is facing a
:15:54. > :15:58.slow and painful loss of jobs but Mr Cameron says his government has
:15:58. > :16:04.plans to create employment. We are rolling up our sleeves and do --
:16:04. > :16:08.doing everything we can to promote growth and jobs. We have cut our
:16:08. > :16:12.corporation tax rate, investing in apprenticeships and making sure we
:16:13. > :16:17.focus on capital spending, roads and stations, and at the heart of
:16:17. > :16:22.it has to be the plan to keep a good plan for dealing with our
:16:22. > :16:26.debts and deficits. Still to come: preparing for the
:16:26. > :16:31.big moment, the school children who formed a choir and the first
:16:31. > :16:35.performance is live on television for Children In Need.
:16:35. > :16:45.Trading autumn's path, after a lovely weekend the gloom up from
:16:45. > :16:50.
:16:50. > :16:54.last week returns. But for how Today it is an important date for
:16:54. > :16:59.Coventry. It is the anniversary of the blitz on the City which claimed
:16:59. > :17:03.more than 500 lives and destroyed the cathedral. Tonight the scheme
:17:03. > :17:07.is starting which is hoped will result in the cathedral becoming a
:17:07. > :17:10.space dedicated to civilians affected by war. It could also help
:17:10. > :17:19.preserve the ruins of the old cathedral and the ravages of the
:17:19. > :17:24.elements. Welcome to the atmospheric ruins of
:17:24. > :17:31.the medieval Coventry Cathedral. There has been a church on this
:17:31. > :17:36.site since the 13th century. On 14th November, 1940, 500 people
:17:37. > :17:42.lost their lives and the Cathedral was destroyed. Now the cathedral
:17:42. > :17:49.need to raise �1 million to restore and preserve the ruins for future
:17:49. > :17:54.generations. Tell me why do you really need this money? The ruins
:17:54. > :17:57.are the ruins. They are but they keep falling into disrepair. We had
:17:57. > :18:00.a big crack we discovered in the summer which threatened for part of
:18:00. > :18:03.the wall to collapse into the street which would mean we would
:18:03. > :18:08.have to close the book of the safety so we have to repair them
:18:08. > :18:14.and stabilise the in their current condition. Also to uncover some of
:18:14. > :18:19.their secrets. There was a big crowd under here. It would unveil
:18:19. > :18:23.another glory. You have become somewhat obsessed
:18:23. > :18:28.with Coventry Cathedral. What is it about the cathedral that leads you
:18:28. > :18:31.fire? It was voted on to a Walker World
:18:31. > :18:37.Monuments Watch a list of the most endangered sites in the world so we
:18:37. > :18:41.have a duty of care. You cannot help be moved by this place, it is
:18:41. > :18:45.a place of memorial, reconciliation, extraordinary medieval art which
:18:45. > :18:49.reminds us where Coventry was once one of the greatest cities of
:18:49. > :18:53.Britain. Tonight there will be a service at the new cathedral where
:18:53. > :19:00.all the plans for the future will be laid out. We will bring that
:19:00. > :19:03.back to you tonight. Non-League Stourbridge Town
:19:03. > :19:06.Football Club are celebrating a cash windfall tonight. They have
:19:06. > :19:11.just been told next week's FA Cup replay against Plymouth will be
:19:11. > :19:15.shown live on television. The �30,000 hope will get wouldn't pay
:19:15. > :19:19.a week's wages for many a Premier League favour -- player but the
:19:19. > :19:24.money will go a long way at Stourbridge. More than enough to
:19:24. > :19:34.buy some new shirts. Look closely, something is missing. Ever since
:19:34. > :19:38.the club was formed in 1876 there have been two Letter ares in
:19:38. > :19:42.Stourbridge. Officials were not impressed when they spotted the
:19:42. > :19:50.embroidery error. But they are now in the second round draw for the
:19:50. > :19:55.first time ever. Not embarrassing, it is something unique. It wouldn't
:19:55. > :20:03.have done at man United. Obviously not. The letter art may have been
:20:03. > :20:08.missing from the shirts but the initials RR went missing on the
:20:08. > :20:13.pitch. Ryan Rowe was back with the family firm creating a new driveway
:20:13. > :20:15.today. If he looked a bit tired, no wonder, Saturday's post-match party
:20:15. > :20:24.in Plymouth turned into an all- nighter and his workmates were
:20:24. > :20:28.there as well. It was a cup tie that they will never forget. First
:20:28. > :20:33.they were delighted when Stourbridge Ford back to equalise.
:20:33. > :20:38.Then they could hardly believe it when Ryan Rowe put them in front at
:20:38. > :20:43.2-1. Eight minutes from time, a penalty looked to have clinched a
:20:43. > :20:49.famous victory at 3-2. Sadly for 900 travelling fans Plymouth
:20:49. > :20:52.equalised two minutes from the end to four -- force a replay at
:20:52. > :20:55.Stourbridge a week tomorrow. great result. After we had will
:20:56. > :21:00.settle down and had a think, a lot of the lads were quietly
:21:00. > :21:05.disappointed. Came so close two minutes from the end. To score in
