:00:09. > :00:15.Good evening, welcome to Monday's Midlands Today from the BBC.
:00:15. > :00:18.How a chance discovery uncovered a woman's brutal murder. Daisy meant
:00:18. > :00:22.the world to all of us and no sentence will be able to bring her
:00:22. > :00:28.back. As an inquiry ends, news of a new
:00:28. > :00:33.case of negligence involving a baby boy. I gave him three hard slaps on
:00:33. > :00:37.his back. I pull something from his mouth.
:00:37. > :00:42.The driest year in the region since records began. We will have all the
:00:42. > :00:52.facts and figures. Three of our teams power into the
:00:52. > :01:04.
:01:04. > :01:07.Good evening and welcome to a programme. Tonight: the woman who
:01:07. > :01:10.seemed to be the doting relative, caring for her frail, 92 year old
:01:10. > :01:14.grandmother. But a chance meeting with police at a roadside uncovered
:01:14. > :01:16.her brutal secret. She'd murdered after taking her life savings.
:01:16. > :01:19.36-year-old Sheila Jones is beginning a life sentence tonight
:01:19. > :01:22.after battering Daisy Myring to death in a cold-blooded attack at
:01:22. > :01:25.her home in Staffordshire in May. Jones originally denied murder but
:01:25. > :01:29.changed her plea this morning. From Wolverhampton Crown Court, Ben
:01:29. > :01:32.Godfrey reports. Daisy Myring was 92, she was frail
:01:32. > :01:39.and partially blind. Despite this, she chose to live alone in
:01:39. > :01:43.Brownhills. On May 31st, she was killed at the hands of her own
:01:43. > :01:46.flesh and blood. This is her granddaughter Sheila Jones, a woman
:01:46. > :01:54.who visited with shopping, to offer care, who beat her to death with a
:01:54. > :01:59.plastic chair. Today, she changed her plea, and admitted murder.
:01:59. > :02:02.last few months have been a nightmare for me and my family.
:02:02. > :02:05.Daisy meant the world to all of us and no sentence will ever be able
:02:05. > :02:11.to bring her back. She was a kind and generous lady and will be
:02:11. > :02:14.sorely missed by all members of her family. When Sheila Jones came here,
:02:14. > :02:20.supposedly the doting granddaughter, she came here with a secret. She
:02:20. > :02:24.had taken more than �6,500 of her grandmother's life savings. When
:02:24. > :02:27.the days he began to suspect -- suspect foul play, the court heard
:02:27. > :02:32.that Sheila Jones came here to silence her. And tonight, new
:02:32. > :02:36.detail about how she was brought to justice. There was no one who she
:02:36. > :02:41.came into contact with he would not have been affected by her kind
:02:41. > :02:44.nature. After police appeals, like this one on Midlands Today, the
:02:44. > :02:47.court heard Jones may have panicked and tried to move the murder weapon.
:02:47. > :02:50.A police patrol spotted Jones in Norton Canes, walking with two
:02:50. > :02:56.black bin liners, in one a pillow and a torch, in the other, a
:02:56. > :03:01.plastic stool, with traces of her grandmother's blood. We were
:03:01. > :03:05.struggling to connect her specifically to the killing and she
:03:05. > :03:10.had been released on bail at that stage. They stopped, talked to her,
:03:10. > :03:13.they talked -- looked inside the bags and had realised what they had
:03:14. > :03:16.discovered. They then made the arrest. Sheila Jones showed no
:03:17. > :03:20.emotion in court, she'd claimed she was in financial turmoil but this
:03:20. > :03:25.mother of two could apparently afford a new TV and a holiday.
:03:25. > :03:30.Sentencing Jones to life imprisonment, Judge Philip Parker
:03:30. > :03:33.told her had crime was a gross abuse of a Britons -- position of
:03:33. > :03:43.trust and added her taking her savings was callous and cruel.
:03:43. > :03:45.
:03:45. > :03:48.Taking her life was unforgivable. Later in the programme, a crisis in
:03:48. > :03:54.our primary schools with a record number of vacancies for head
:03:54. > :03:58.A young boy could have died after choking on a 17-centimetre tube
:03:58. > :04:01.which was left in his body at birth. It's the latest case of negligence
:04:01. > :04:05.to have come to light during the period covered by the Stafford
:04:05. > :04:08.Hospital Inquiry. Patient representatives have been
:04:08. > :04:16.giving their views to the inquiry today, as it enters its final
:04:16. > :04:21.stages. These days, for year-old Owen
:04:21. > :04:24.Thomas has no problems eating his breakfast but it was not always so.
:04:24. > :04:28.At birth, a tube should have been put into his airway but it was put
:04:28. > :04:33.into her stomach and forgotten about. That was until he went blue
:04:33. > :04:40.and cheered. I was physically sick when the mist came. I had Owen in
:04:40. > :04:45.my arms and she thought he had merely had a Sieger because he'd
:04:45. > :04:49.had a couple of episodes where he was having a seizure. -- seizure.
:04:49. > :04:55.My friend said he has just -- she has just pulled this out of him.
:04:55. > :05:03.What is this? The plastic tube had stopped him feeding properly. It
:05:03. > :05:07.was first told of avoidable mistake that must end. Why should they hide
:05:07. > :05:12.the fact they have made a mistake and just carry on as normal? We
:05:12. > :05:15.were not. Members of the organisation left the inquiry after
:05:15. > :05:19.four hours of naming and shaming those they felt had failed to
:05:20. > :05:23.protect patients. The council's overview and scrutiny committee did
:05:23. > :05:27.not know their powers, let alone how to use them. The Strategic
:05:27. > :05:33.Health Authority was reluctant to recognise problems. The Care
:05:33. > :05:37.Quality Commission was responsible for wholly ineffective regulation.
:05:37. > :05:41.The organisation compared the culture of fear with a scene out of
:05:41. > :05:44.Alice in Wonderland, the one where the cards were painting the roses
:05:44. > :05:48.red because they were frightened to admit there are making us -- a
:05:48. > :05:52.mistake. A catalogue of chaos. There has to be won the system
:05:52. > :05:57.throughout the whole of the NHS that ensures quality and safety.
:05:57. > :06:01.But the moment, we've not got that. Owen Thomas survived. Many patients
:06:01. > :06:07.died. The inquiry was told it must follow up on its findings to make
:06:07. > :06:10.sure they have taken flight. Well, let's speak to Michele now.
:06:10. > :06:19.What were Cure the NHS key demands during their closing statement
:06:19. > :06:23.today? They want to turn the NHS on its
:06:23. > :06:26.head. They are fed up with the structure and want doctors and
:06:26. > :06:31.nurses to take over the control again. They want more democracy
:06:31. > :06:34.within the NHS to doctors' leaders are elected and they want citizens'
:06:34. > :06:38.juries so they can ensure patients have more control over patient
:06:38. > :06:41.safety. This inquiry has gone on for over a
:06:41. > :06:46.year now, and most of the evidence is from past events, is it still
:06:46. > :06:49.relevant? Only yesterday, the Royal College
:06:49. > :06:52.of Nursing was complaining there were not enough nurses. There are
:06:52. > :06:55.shortages on the wards. This was something that came up time and
:06:55. > :06:59.time again over the four years of the Stafford hospital problem. In
:06:59. > :07:04.fact, there was at least one complaint for every day of those
:07:04. > :07:07.four years. There was also a time of major institutional change going
:07:07. > :07:11.on and there were financial problems taking place. All the
:07:11. > :07:16.elements are still there for the same sorts of things to be able to
:07:16. > :07:20.happen again. So what's happens now?
:07:20. > :07:24.Now, we are getting closing statements so other people like the
:07:24. > :07:29.Strategic Health Authority, the Care Quality Commission, will
:07:29. > :07:33.actually put forward their closing statements. At the end of November,
:07:33. > :07:38.the chairman will take away over 1 million pages of documentation.
:07:38. > :07:42.There were over 179 witnesses. Some time next year, probably after
:07:42. > :07:45.April, he will come back with recommendations. We've been told
:07:45. > :07:49.the Department of Health has already set up a unit to try to
:07:49. > :07:57.ensure the findings of this inquiry are taken into consideration and
:07:57. > :08:00.acted upon. Police have launched a murder
:08:00. > :08:03.inquiry after a man was stabbed in Solihull last night. The 22-year-
:08:03. > :08:07.old was found in Chelmsley Wood but died in hospital after being taken
:08:07. > :08:13.there with another injured man. It's believed trouble had started
:08:13. > :08:16.at the nearby St Anne's Social Club. Police have spent the day searching
:08:16. > :08:19.woodland in Gloucestershire for the remains of a teacher who went
:08:19. > :08:22.missing four years ago. Specialist officers are searching the farm
:08:22. > :08:25.where Adrian Prout lived with his wife Kate. He was jailed for her
:08:25. > :08:28.murder last year, but until last week had denied all responsibility.
:08:28. > :08:33.Nearby footpaths are closed and the search is expected to restart
:08:33. > :08:37.tomorrow morning. A mother's been describing her
:08:37. > :08:41.terror after a car was set alight with her baby still inside. 18-
:08:41. > :08:44.month-old Chad was left in the car on the driveway of the family home
:08:44. > :08:47.in Willersey near Evesham while his mother took his siblings inside.
:08:47. > :08:56.Moments later she saw the car in flames. Police are investigating
:08:56. > :09:02.reports that a man was seen running away. The flames were as tall as me
:09:03. > :09:06.and luckily, they were on that side so I could get him out. I was
:09:06. > :09:12.actually -- absolutely terrified, like a headless chicken running
:09:12. > :09:20.around. I didn't know what to do. The shortage of primary school head
:09:20. > :09:23.teachers has reached a 26-year high. Latest figures show that a record
:09:23. > :09:26.number of vacancies remain unfilled and more than 40% of all posts last
:09:26. > :09:28.year in England had to be re- advertised.
:09:29. > :09:31.Governors at Green Lea First School in Staffordshire say they're at
:09:31. > :09:35.their wits end. They're about to re-advertise the head teacher post
:09:35. > :09:38.for the 3rd time. 36 children attend this small rural
:09:38. > :09:41.school at Milwich in Staffordshire. It's been described as the heart of
:09:41. > :09:50.the community. They've been without a head teacher now since the start
:09:50. > :09:58.of term. Staff and parents say they they're desperate to find someone.
:09:58. > :10:04.Plenty to offer an individual. have fought like cats and dogs.
:10:04. > :10:14.There is a lot of work involved and probably not for as much money as a
:10:14. > :10:16.
:10:16. > :10:19.headship at another school. that's part of the problem. Due to
:10:19. > :10:22.the size of Green Lea First School the salary of �40,000 is equivalent
:10:22. > :10:25.to a deputy's salary at a bigger school. Helen Richardson is the
:10:25. > :10:34.teacher currently acting up. It has shown me the other side of the job.
:10:34. > :10:38.It is concerned with health and safety, finance, and other areas.
:10:38. > :10:42.Recruiting Head Teachers seems to be a problem across the region.
:10:42. > :10:47.They have been 36 vacancies in Staffordshire. In Shropshire, 16
:10:47. > :10:57.posts are currently available. In Warwickshire, 11 out of 193 Schools
:10:57. > :10:59.
:10:59. > :11:02.are without a head teacher. Six miles away in Stone, Pirehill First
:11:02. > :11:05.School is thriving with 220 pupils. The head teacher Debbie Breeze is
:11:05. > :11:08.currently mentoring Helen at Green Lea primary. She's run a small
:11:08. > :11:12.school herself in the past and can see what might be putting
:11:12. > :11:17.candidates off. You really are all things to everybody. It takes a
:11:18. > :11:22.special person to be so heavily involved in a school. It brings its
:11:22. > :11:27.rewards as well. I think you are actually -- absolutely welcomed
:11:27. > :11:33.into that committee. The latest figures show that 40 % of posts
:11:33. > :11:36.last year had to be re-advertised put a 20 six-year high. -- that is.
:11:37. > :11:40.Children had that by creating their own homespun -- posters and being a
:11:40. > :11:50.part of the process themselves, they will find the perfect had
:11:50. > :11:54.
:11:54. > :11:56.teacher third time lucky. With us now is Victor Aguera from
:11:56. > :12:00.the National Association of Schoolmasters and Union of Women
:12:00. > :12:02.Teachers. Is this a common problem across the region or is it just in
:12:02. > :12:12.rural schools? It is a common problem across all sectors of
:12:12. > :12:13.
:12:13. > :12:20.education. The problem is workload. One of the things... It is workload
:12:20. > :12:24.for teachers. We've noticed there are 30 % fewer teachers applying.
:12:24. > :12:29.30 % of teachers express a wish to leave the profession was to some
:12:29. > :12:36.teachers have said that the whole thing, the whole process is far too
:12:36. > :12:39.tough and long. There is an accreditation scheme for
:12:39. > :12:41.headteachers but the most important thing is to actually have a
:12:41. > :12:51.workforce that is passionate about education and currently, the
:12:51. > :12:56.workload pressures mean we are focusing... That is why we in our
:12:56. > :13:01.union are focused on raising standards for in order to allow
:13:01. > :13:04.teachers to reclaim learning in the classroom. To be fair, the county
:13:04. > :13:08.council are saying they're not care to drop the standards to fill the
:13:08. > :13:11.posts. Absolutely but we need to rebalance in terms of workload and
:13:11. > :13:14.make sure it is focused on the in in the classroom. That is why we
:13:14. > :13:18.will be raising standards and standing up for standards. How has
:13:18. > :13:26.this problem could be solved? That figures are daunting. It is
:13:26. > :13:30.daunting. We have recently balloted in terms of our action. That will
:13:30. > :13:36.focus people on their contract and focus on learning in the classroom.
:13:36. > :13:40.I think if we can focus on learning in the classroom, we will get those
:13:40. > :13:44.fearful that a passionate about education... And ease the workload.
:13:44. > :13:50.We need to focus on that passion and continued to raise standards
:13:50. > :13:54.Stoke City Council have revealed plans to cut �24 million from next
:13:54. > :13:58.year's budget. The council has an annual budget of around �650
:13:58. > :14:03.million. Council officials say they will be axing some services,
:14:03. > :14:07.closing day centres and cutting around 360 jobs to make the savings.
:14:07. > :14:10.But they do want to reinvest some of that money into the city to help
:14:10. > :14:20.create jobs. Well, our Stoke Political reporter, Elizabeth
:14:20. > :14:26.Glinka was at today's briefing, so what exactly are they planning?
:14:26. > :14:31.Well, that is not quite clear. We do know as well as the money they
:14:31. > :14:36.have to cut, the city council says it wants to cut extra �5 million
:14:36. > :14:40.which it wants to use to bring businesses to the city, to invest
:14:40. > :14:46.and create jobs. Of course, that sounds fine until you think about
:14:46. > :14:51.the things on the cutting board, care for the disabled, care for the
:14:51. > :14:59.elderly, the closure of local museums. And making extra cuts
:14:59. > :15:02.start to look controversial. What will happen next? Well, they will
:15:02. > :15:08.be consultation period before the Budget is signed off in February.
:15:08. > :15:14.What's interesting is this city had some of the biggest cuts in the
:15:14. > :15:17.country last year. As a result, there are some high-profile and
:15:17. > :15:21.well-organised local campaigns to save services which were under
:15:21. > :15:27.threat. Some of those campaigns, including those protecting
:15:27. > :15:30.children's centres were successful. As a result, it means the council
:15:30. > :15:36.is going to have to take people with them if they are to convince
:15:36. > :15:44.local people in Stoke-on-Trent but cutting extra money is a good idea.
:15:44. > :15:46.OK, thank you for the update. Still to come: the driest year on record.
:15:46. > :15:53.It is causing problems in border country.
:15:53. > :16:03.And could we be looking at more disruptive weather this week? More
:16:03. > :16:05.
:16:05. > :16:09.Dan's here and it's been an expensive day for the Stoke manager
:16:09. > :16:13.Tony Pulis. The Stoke City manager Tony Pulis has been fined �10,000
:16:14. > :16:17.by the Football Association for criticising a referee. Pulis
:16:17. > :16:22.claimed they had not been treated fairly in the decisions made by Lee
:16:22. > :16:28.Probert during Stoke's Carling Cup defeat by Liverpool last month. As
:16:28. > :16:31.well as the fine he's also been warned about his future conduct.
:16:31. > :16:34.The Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner has denied he's planning to sell
:16:34. > :16:37.the club. Rumours have been circulating that the American is
:16:38. > :16:40.looking for a buyer because he's only attended one game this season.
:16:40. > :16:44.But he's reassured fans that's purely for family reasons and says
:16:44. > :16:47.he's fully committed to Villa. On the pitch Villa are at Tottenham in
:16:47. > :16:51.the Premier League this evening hoping to build on an exciting
:16:51. > :16:56.victory over Norwich in their last match.
:16:56. > :17:00.These guys have played extremely well together over the last few
:17:00. > :17:06.weeks. We are playing away from home so we will possibly be
:17:06. > :17:15.thinking that things have more depth, rather than unleashing them
:17:15. > :17:19.and play an open game. We look to get over the problems. And you can
:17:19. > :17:23.hear full match commentary on that game on BBC WM this evening.
:17:23. > :17:27.Their coverage begins at 7 o'clock. There was no shortage of goals from
:17:27. > :17:29.our teams in League Two. Cheltenham beat Port Vale, Burton won a five
:17:29. > :17:36.goal thriller at Hereford. But pride of place goes to Shrewsbury
:17:36. > :17:39.Town who won 7-2 at Northampton. OK, so you need a bit of luck to score
:17:39. > :17:42.seven and a deflection got Shrewsbury on their way.
:17:42. > :17:45.But this was the day they made everything count. Mark Wright's
:17:45. > :17:50.opening double and Aaron Wildig put the Shrews three up by half-time.
:17:50. > :17:52.But they cut loose in the final eight minutes scoring another four.
:17:52. > :18:01.By the seventh beleaguered Northampton were even helping them
:18:01. > :18:07.out by whacking them in by hand. It's been an enjoyable performance
:18:07. > :18:10.and result. We do not gloat because it is a club in turmoil. But we
:18:11. > :18:20.have done OK. There was also late drama at Edgar Street where
:18:21. > :18:21.
:18:21. > :18:27.Hereford led Burton 2-1 going into injury time. But Burton scored
:18:27. > :18:35.twice through Billy Kee and Aaron Webster for a dramatic 3-2 victory.
:18:35. > :18:39.It was devastating. There was six minutes extra time that killed us.
:18:40. > :18:42.You had to shuffle around at half- time. A few harsh words perhaps.
:18:42. > :18:45.Two Midland sides also met at Whaddon Road where Cheltenham beat
:18:45. > :18:48.Port Vale 2-nil with a penalty and this strike from Luke Summerfield.
:18:48. > :18:52.Cheltenham remain in third with Shrewsbury and Burton just behind
:18:52. > :18:55.in fourth and fifth. It could be quite a season in the league two
:18:55. > :18:59.promotion race. He was described by Nelson Mandela
:18:59. > :19:01.as "our hero" and tributes have been paid all around the world to
:19:01. > :19:06.the former Worcestershire cricketer Basil D'Oliveira whose death was
:19:06. > :19:09.announced on Saturday. South Africa's refusal to allow
:19:09. > :19:14.D'Oliveira to tour there with England in 1968 led to the sporting
:19:14. > :19:17.boycott of that country. He was immensely popular at Worcestershire
:19:17. > :19:27.helping them win three county championships as a player and two
:19:27. > :19:30.
:19:30. > :19:36.as coach. You saw him play. Wonderful. A really gutsy batsman.
:19:36. > :19:39.So brave and as a bowler he had this knack of taking wickets. You
:19:39. > :19:45.always thought when he played cricket something would happen.
:19:45. > :19:50.Beyond that, the way he had a major hand in changing the world. It's no
:19:50. > :19:56.exaggeration to say what happened with him was a major part in ending
:19:56. > :20:01.apartheid or that it took another 25 years. We talked earlier and you
:20:01. > :20:10.knew him quite well. I had some moments and laughs with him, some
:20:10. > :20:14.boozy nights. I was due to interview him on breakfast TV and
:20:14. > :20:20.we were presenting TV-am and they never turned up. At the end of the
:20:20. > :20:26.programme they ran up and we asked what was happening. We sent a car
:20:26. > :20:34.to the Holiday Inn in St John's Wood and they were in Marble Arch.

:20:47. > :20:49.doesn't feel like we've had a wonderful sunny summer, but it's
:20:49. > :20:53.been the driest year in the Midlands since records began in
:20:53. > :21:02.1910. In the Shropshire hills, the springs which supply water to
:21:02. > :21:05.thousands of homes have run dry. It's causing problems for farmers
:21:05. > :21:10.feeding their animals, and for people trying to do the simplest of
:21:11. > :21:13.tasks from washing their dishes to going to the loo. In a moment,

:21:16. > :21:22.first Shefali has been looking at the facts and figures for the past
:21:22. > :21:25.year. Well the figures from the Met. Office show that month after month
:21:25. > :21:28.this year, the rainfall totals have been below average. It all adds up
:21:28. > :21:31.to spring seeing only 42% of the rainfall normally expected, with
:21:31. > :21:35.April being an exceptionally dry month receiving only 14% of the
:21:35. > :21:38.average. The amounts started to perk up a little from May through
:21:38. > :21:41.to August where we were beginning to see around three quarters of the
:21:41. > :21:44.average rainfall for those months but still below average. Overall
:21:44. > :21:48.that meant that summer saw 86% of the average. Autumn is still a work
:21:48. > :21:51.in progress seeing as we're not at the end of November yet but
:21:51. > :21:53.September, October and this month so far have also been very dry.
:21:53. > :21:56.Well, out here with me is our Environment Correspondent, David
:21:56. > :22:01.Gregory. David - this is going to have wide ranging and long term
:22:01. > :22:04.effects if things don't pick up soon.
:22:04. > :22:09.Some of of viewers get water from springs in Shropshire and the
:22:09. > :22:14.borders. We gave a video camera to a family farming in Shropshire so

:22:46. > :22:52.written and money spent on water. There, we have water again. And
:22:52. > :23:01.some sunshine. It is very nice. I am sure you understand why be

:23:05. > :23:09.Science tells us climate change is real and we are mostly likely for
:23:09. > :23:15.most of it. But what science cannot tell you is individual events are
:23:15. > :23:18.caused by climate change. You might say a lack of rain and a drought is
:23:18. > :23:24.something you expect but elsewhere in the UK people have had above
:23:24. > :23:34.average rainfall. Really, you need to look over a longer term trends,
:23:34. > :23:48.
:23:48. > :23:56.10 years or longer and look further afield than a short run. It has
:23:56. > :24:01.been raining cats and dogs. Yes, this is not what people were
:24:02. > :24:08.hoping for. It is not completely wet, it is quite right. There is
:24:08. > :24:12.more fog and a touch of frost. Some rain tonight and there will be fog.
:24:12. > :24:19.The rain moved in from the West earlier on, it is now across most
:24:19. > :24:24.parts. It is heavier on western fringes later. Where it eases in

:24:31. > :24:36.patchy on a whole. Under the cloud and rain, a mild tonight with loans

:24:44. > :24:50.lifting but a grey start. The rain will move eastwards, there will be
:24:50. > :24:54.heavier bursts but it will clear by the afternoon. It is looking dryer,
:24:54. > :25:00.brightness in western parts to end the day. Tomorrow, temperatures up
:25:00. > :25:05.to 10 or 11. It is slightly milder. We have a north-westerly breeze
:25:05. > :25:08.drawing in fresh air by tomorrow night. The cloud clears, clear
:25:08. > :25:13.skies so tomorrow night temperatures could fall low enough
:25:13. > :25:18.to thrill four Celsius and lower in rural parts to give a touch of
:25:18. > :25:25.frost. The fog will not be as dense. In the morning, frosty on Wednesday
:25:25. > :25:29.but otherwise dry and sunny. A fresher breeze. It stays dry until
