:00:59. > :01:01.looked if we hadn't won the Second Good evening and welcome to
:01:01. > :01:05.Tuesday's Midlands Today from the BBC. Tonight: guilty - a magistrate
:01:05. > :01:08.and his former girlfriend who let a two year old girl die were jailed
:01:08. > :01:11.for manslaughter today. They did nothing to help the little
:01:11. > :01:14.girl after she was badly scalded in a shower at her home in Birmingham.
:01:14. > :01:17.She died later as a result of her injuries.
:01:17. > :01:23.The girl's mother, who was also found guilty of child cruelty, was
:01:23. > :01:28.jailed for six years. Rashpal Chana, pillar of the
:01:28. > :01:30.community, tonight starting a jail sentence for manslaughter. The
:01:30. > :01:36.manslaughter was that of a two- year-old child, Kristiana, not
:01:36. > :01:45.Chana's child, but that of his girlfriend. A child said the
:01:45. > :01:50.prosecution neither lifted a finger to save. This is where rave very
:01:50. > :01:58.young child, who was only two years of age, was in considerable pain
:01:58. > :02:04.for some 12 days. The instant first occurred and Fen... It is an
:02:04. > :02:07.horrendous crime and actually, that failure to treat has been
:02:07. > :02:12.investigated and the right sentence has been brought forward by the
:02:12. > :02:16.court. Eva Logina, a 26-year-old Latvian. National arrived in the UK
:02:16. > :02:18.in May 2007 already pregnant with Kristiana. In December 2009 they
:02:18. > :02:24.moved in with rashpal Chana, recently separated from his wife,
:02:24. > :02:27.at his home in Harborne in Birmingham. On Feb 4th last year
:02:27. > :02:35.she showered K because, she said, she'd soiled herself but the shower
:02:35. > :02:39.was scalding hot and the child suffered 10% burns. It wasn't until
:02:39. > :02:43.11 days later when she collapsed ghat she was taken to hospital but
:02:43. > :02:45.by then it was too late to save her. The judge said Logina chose not to
:02:45. > :02:50.seek medical help because she was frightened social services would
:02:50. > :02:54.take her children. That selfish motive killed her daughter she said.
:02:54. > :03:01.Jailing Chana for four and a half years the judge called his failure
:03:01. > :03:04.to seek medical Attention a gross aberration. Rashpal Chana was a
:03:04. > :03:06.lecturer who won a Queen's Award for Services to the Science
:03:07. > :03:10.community. He was well known in Sikh communities in the Black
:03:10. > :03:19.Country for his charity work. And for 18 years he served as a
:03:19. > :03:28.magistrate on the Birmingham bench. I find it so hard to believe. He
:03:28. > :03:34.was always such a positive guy, very caring. His students loved him.
:03:34. > :03:38.He simply nodded as he was sentenced. The woman wept as she
:03:38. > :03:41.was led from the dock. And we can go to Nottingham now where the case
:03:41. > :03:44.was heard and talk to Giles. It seems astonishing this couple did
:03:44. > :03:51.nothing to help Kristiana. Did they appear to show any regret, any
:03:51. > :03:54.remorse in court? I spoke to the man in court before
:03:54. > :03:58.the verdicts were returned. He was convinced there was no case to
:03:58. > :04:02.answer, that he would be acquitted. He said bandages and cream were
:04:02. > :04:10.applied to the child at home but he never knew it was a scalding injury.
:04:10. > :04:15.He thought it was nappy rash. For mother cut a more cold and a motion
:04:15. > :04:22.on less figure. The defence counsel said the irony was she had not gone
:04:22. > :04:25.to the hospital because she feared social services would get involved.
:04:25. > :04:29.By And it seems a remarkable fall from grace for Chana, whom you
:04:29. > :04:35.described as a pillar of the community.
:04:35. > :04:39.That's right. As his defence but it, this is a man who has lost her tour.
:04:39. > :04:43.That's all because of his relationship. The judge said in
:04:43. > :04:46.some respects you've been unlucky for some big City due to have
:04:46. > :04:53.someone to clean, keeper a home and be available sexually, but you knew
:04:53. > :04:56.about bad injury to the child as an early stage and you did nothing.
:04:56. > :05:06.Thanks for joining us this evening, an evening that's somewhat historic
:05:06. > :05:06.
:05:06. > :05:10.for football fans in the Black Lights, camera, action. Stourbridge
:05:10. > :05:17.are up for the cup and a place against Plymouth is the prize if
:05:17. > :05:19.The Labour Party's apologised after one of its members posted material
:05:19. > :05:22.online attacking the health campaigner Julie Bailey. Julie
:05:22. > :05:25.Bailey's been at the forefront of the group Cure the NHS which
:05:25. > :05:28.highlighted problems at Stafford Hospital.
:05:28. > :05:30.The Labour Party's apology comes as Ms Bailey revealed details of a
:05:30. > :05:37.hate campaign which has included anonymous phone calls and threats
:05:37. > :05:40.to her business. Julie Bailey's cafe in the centre
:05:40. > :05:45.of Stafford has been the focus for her campaign to improve care at
:05:45. > :05:48.Stafford Hospital. It's now at the centre of threats and online abuse.
:05:48. > :05:51.This is material posted in the name of the Labour Party. It includes
:05:51. > :06:01.interviews conducted by a Labour activist who's now apologised for
:06:01. > :06:05.
:06:05. > :06:12.I hope she goes into A&E and dies on the way. It's not the only
:06:12. > :06:19.material that's caused upset. e-mails on a daily basis. Then I
:06:19. > :06:23.found out there was a Facebook campaign, including a comment that
:06:23. > :06:27.said my windows should be put through, inciting violence against
:06:27. > :06:31.me. Also saying we should be driven out of town because we have brought
:06:31. > :06:36.shame on the hospital. In fact all we've done has told the truth.
:06:36. > :06:40.There've also been insults posted on social networking sites. This is
:06:40. > :06:43.not the first time the cafe and the campaigners who made here have been
:06:43. > :06:52.targeted at the levels of abuse and the threat of increased in the last
:06:52. > :06:54.couple of weeks. It follows the decision at a hospital board
:06:54. > :06:58.meeting earlier this month to close A&E overnight for three months.
:06:58. > :07:01.It's a move the town's MP would like to see reversed. I've got a
:07:01. > :07:05.meeting with the minister on Thursday, to talk through both the
:07:05. > :07:09.arrangements being made for people while the A&E is closed and also
:07:09. > :07:14.the work that has been done to make sure it can come back for time as
:07:14. > :07:16.soon as possible. And although Labour party members won't condone
:07:16. > :07:22.online abuse, councillors in Cannock are campaigning against the
:07:22. > :07:24.temporary closure. I would not condone any offensive material. I
:07:24. > :07:28.understand that Julie Bigley has received a number of telephone
:07:28. > :07:35.calls and I understand the depth of feeling but I would not condone
:07:35. > :07:38.offensive behaviour Rattle. -- at all. Back in the cafe, Julie
:07:38. > :07:42.Bailey's reporting the abuse to the police. She says it won't deter her
:07:42. > :07:44.from either campaigning, or continuing to run her business.
:07:45. > :07:50.Well, our health correspondent Michele Paduano joins us now.
:07:50. > :07:55.You've followed this from the very start. Is this criticism fair?
:07:55. > :07:59.is not fair because what Julie Bailey has done is heroic. She has
:07:59. > :08:03.broken down political recalls to the point where he got to a public
:08:03. > :08:07.inquiry where we can have benefits for patients everywhere. During
:08:08. > :08:12.that time, there has been relentless bad publicity and that
:08:12. > :08:15.bad publicity has meant that doctors have worked there, he think
:08:15. > :08:18.I don't want to be here, there is a terrible place to have the
:08:18. > :08:21.spotlight on may have left. They need to find other doctors to take
:08:21. > :08:31.the place and it is difficult to recruit. To that extent they've
:08:31. > :08:32.
:08:32. > :08:36.created a downward spiral. So A&E has been closed overnight. Do you
:08:36. > :08:39.think for services will be reinstated soon? They are supposed
:08:40. > :08:43.to be reinstated in three months' time but there is a national drive
:08:43. > :08:47.towards having fewer accident and emergency departments, partly
:08:47. > :08:51.because of a European directive. It is costly and difficult to get
:08:51. > :08:53.enough doctors to fill the rota. There is also a desire to
:08:53. > :09:01.concentrate services in fewer hospitals. A hospital like Stafford
:09:01. > :09:03.is vulnerable. As the countdown to London 2012
:09:03. > :09:06.begins, we can expect to be bombarded with opportunities to buy
:09:06. > :09:09.Olympic souvenirs and merchandise. But how much of it will be genuine?
:09:09. > :09:12.Trading standards officers fear the market's about to be flooded with
:09:12. > :09:20.counterfeit goods and they're warning us all to beware of Olympic
:09:20. > :09:24.fraud. The honest face of Olympic merchandising. In Ironbridge, they
:09:24. > :09:28.have won a contract to produce the official London 2012 teddy bear.
:09:28. > :09:32.But they had to pay for the privilege and they don't want any
:09:33. > :09:36.pirate bears muscling in on their market. We are in fact one of only
:09:36. > :09:44.two companies to what official licensees for the Olympic Games
:09:44. > :09:49.producing soft toys. Any cuddly toy being produced which is not a mass
:09:49. > :09:53.court or a teddy bear will most likely be counterfeit. On a train
:09:53. > :09:56.of the counterfeiters, trading standards officers today bringing
:09:56. > :10:00.their roadshow to a Birmingham supermarket. Their message, don't
:10:00. > :10:04.be fooled by the fakes. Take a look at these two T-shirts. Apart from
:10:04. > :10:09.the colour, they look virtually the same but in fact this one is
:10:09. > :10:14.genuine and this one is fake. Holding it, you can tell that it is
:10:14. > :10:17.inferior quality. When the Olympics arrive, or the counterfeiters will
:10:18. > :10:24.see it as a good opportunity to repay the country off. We want the
:10:24. > :10:27.public to be aware and take care. Very few tips. The way to make sure
:10:27. > :10:31.that what you are buying is the real thing is to look out for this,
:10:31. > :10:35.it is the Olympic holograms. It has a 3 D effects and is flashers in
:10:35. > :10:38.the light. If you see this on what you are buying, you know you've got
:10:38. > :10:43.the real McCoy. All for Mary thought Blair's character hologram
:10:43. > :10:50.on at the back of the box. For a small company employing 25 people,
:10:50. > :10:53.the Games have become a golden opportunity. There is also an
:10:53. > :11:02.opportunity for less scrupulous manufacturers to do some serious
:11:02. > :11:04.stitching up. We have been warned! Police
:11:04. > :11:07.investigating an attack with a stiletto heel which left a
:11:07. > :11:10.partygoer with a fractured skull have released CCTV images of a
:11:10. > :11:12.woman they want to speak to. The assault happened in Bishop
:11:12. > :11:15.Street in Coventry last month. Detectives have released these
:11:15. > :11:18.picures from a nightclub security camera.
:11:18. > :11:21.It's the biggest night in the history of Stourbridge Town. And
:11:21. > :11:24.one that could make or break the season for the non-league club.
:11:24. > :11:29.Tonight's FA Cup replay against league side Plymouth could bring in
:11:29. > :11:36.at least �50,000. Our reporter Ian Winter is in Stourbridge for us,
:11:36. > :11:41.Ian this is big for the club and big for the town too, isn't it?
:11:41. > :11:44.An historic night. Two years ago, Stourbridge lost to Walsall in the
:11:44. > :11:49.first round of the FA Cup but tonight against Plymouth, they are
:11:49. > :11:53.aiming to reach the second round for the first time ever. The fans
:11:53. > :11:58.have caught FA Cup fever. It is a win-win situation does because then
:11:58. > :12:01.non-League club has already earned itself thousands of pounds.
:12:01. > :12:08.The War Memorial Ground has never seen anything like this before.
:12:08. > :12:16.Live TV cameras, 12 of them all set to being -- bring Stalbridge across
:12:16. > :12:21.the nation. Inside the home dressing room, hardly room to swing
:12:21. > :12:24.a cat. Uncomfortably small for Plymouth Argyle. Half a mile away,
:12:24. > :12:31.it's lunchtime at the Britannia sports bar, where the mood is
:12:31. > :12:37.confident. A pint of the usual, please. Certainly. Looking forward
:12:37. > :12:42.to the game tonight? I certainly am. No problem. Do people drink more
:12:42. > :12:47.when there is a good match on? Without a doubt. Every time they
:12:47. > :12:52.come in, instead of having two or three, they are having four or five.
:12:52. > :12:56.Good for Business. OK, so it is a replica of the FA Cup but there is
:12:56. > :13:01.nothing false about these two characters. Super Bob Taylor will
:13:01. > :13:05.always be a legend at West Bromwich Albion and this is the coach at
:13:05. > :13:08.Stourbridge town. Both believe we are been for a shock tonight. Who
:13:08. > :13:12.are the favourites tonight? bookies are going to probably say
:13:12. > :13:18.Plymouth Argyle but for a personal point of view, I will back
:13:18. > :13:21.Stourbridge at this moment in time, even though I sense... They got
:13:21. > :13:25.their own support, the majority of their support. Everybody is backing
:13:26. > :13:31.a them. They will come and be professional, and so we will we. We
:13:31. > :13:41.will have a good at -- good go at them. I hope we will. On Saturday,
:13:41. > :13:45.
:13:45. > :13:48.some rock scored a cracking goal. - - Sam Rock.
:13:48. > :13:57.Let's have a chat with the chairman of Stourbridge, Ian Pilkington.
:13:57. > :14:01.He's got a huge smile on his face. This is a bonus for us. We never
:14:01. > :14:05.budget for a cup run because we get into trouble. Now it is fantastic
:14:05. > :14:10.but we've got the additional revenue. We will put it away to one
:14:10. > :14:15.side and leave it for a short while and decide what to do with it later.
:14:15. > :14:22.Put into words what it has been look like reading it again? It has
:14:22. > :14:26.been fantastic. Most of the people here of volunteers. We all have
:14:26. > :14:31.full-time jobs. To try and tie it in River Dart has been great. The
:14:31. > :14:35.truck -- press interest has been something else. When you get a
:14:35. > :14:38.light -- nice like tonight, you go with the flow and enjoy it as best
:14:38. > :14:42.you can. Plymouth are rock bottom of League Two. They've been to look
:14:42. > :14:47.at the ground this morning. What did they make of it? They are happy
:14:47. > :14:51.with the playing surface. They were happy with the pitch. At the end of
:14:51. > :14:55.the day, we want to play good football and if we have a good
:14:55. > :14:58.pitch, it will help us play good football. Let's see who the best
:14:59. > :15:03.team is on the night. Hopefully it will be Stourbridge. The whole of
:15:03. > :15:07.the Midlands is backing Stourbridge to win tonight. The kick-off time a
:15:07. > :15:12.7:15pm. The atmosphere is building very nicely here at the War
:15:12. > :15:17.Memorial Ground. Good luck to them! We are all
:15:17. > :15:21.backing them. Still to come this evening: he's
:15:21. > :15:27.Stoke City's not so secret weapon. But at 35, how much longer can Rory
:15:27. > :15:32.Delap hurl his deadly missiles into the opposition box?
:15:32. > :15:41.I feel good at the moment but I have no qualms about dropping down
:15:41. > :15:51.the beat. And brace yourselves for one of the coldest nights so far
:15:51. > :15:55.A cafe called the Hungry Hobbit is facing legal action unless the name
:15:55. > :15:58.is changed. The business is near the Birmingham beauty spot where
:15:58. > :16:00.JRR Tolkien drew inspiration for the Lord of the Rings, his fantasy
:16:00. > :16:03.world of middle earth peopled by hobbits, elves and wizards.
:16:03. > :16:10.Unless there's a name change, lawyers for the Tolkien estate say
:16:10. > :16:15.the owners could end up in court. Begin at Middle Earth and walk for
:16:15. > :16:19.a few hundred yards. Eventually you'll come to the Hungry Hobbit.
:16:19. > :16:22.It's been the name of the cafe in Moseley for six years and its new
:16:22. > :16:28.owners were proud to continue the Tolkien association. People ask
:16:28. > :16:32.about the story and we tell them about the board and we say he grew
:16:32. > :16:35.up in the area. It is our heritage. But it's come to the attention of
:16:35. > :16:38.the all seeing eye of the Tolkien estate. A letter's arrived from
:16:38. > :16:42.lawyers saying the word hobbit is unauthorised. The last paragraph of
:16:42. > :16:45.the letter makes for pretty uncomfortable reading. It says, if
:16:45. > :16:52.you are not willing to discontinue use of the name voluntarily we will
:16:52. > :16:59.have no alternative but to pursue all of the remedies afforded by law.
:16:59. > :17:02.The cafe is up against a formidable foe. The Lord of the Rings trilogy
:17:02. > :17:05.made millions, so to the Tolkein estate the Hobbit character is now
:17:05. > :17:10.more valuable, not least because a new film is being released shortly.
:17:10. > :17:15.Lawyer Des Burley says big brands want to protect their name. They
:17:16. > :17:19.might think of licensing a chain. You've got the Hard Rock Cafe or
:17:19. > :17:25.you may see the church -- Star Wars chain of restaurants and there's a
:17:25. > :17:29.lot of value and that, two shirts, the whole experience. To not use
:17:29. > :17:34.the name any more would cost us thousands because we've got all of
:17:34. > :17:37.the uniforms, the signs, the menu is. And regulars are supportive.
:17:37. > :17:42.were disappointed to hear they've had this trouble over the name of
:17:42. > :17:46.the cover of. Is a disgrace to be asked to change the name.
:17:46. > :17:50.owners say they're not cashing in. It's just a caff but to win this
:17:50. > :17:53.battle, they might need a bit of wizarding help.
:17:53. > :17:56.Well, we've already heard from Stourbridge and their FA Cup
:17:56. > :18:03.exploits. Dan let's hope they can do better than Aston Villa last
:18:03. > :18:06.night. Immensely frustrating, is how the
:18:06. > :18:11.Aston Villa manager described last night's 2-0 defeat at Tottenham
:18:11. > :18:13.last night. Here's why. McLeish was disappointed with how they conceded
:18:14. > :18:19.the goals. Poor marking allowed Emmanuel Adebayor to score the
:18:19. > :18:22.first after 14 minutes. He'll never score an easier second. Gareth Bale
:18:22. > :18:25.provided the cross but a mix-up between James Collins and
:18:25. > :18:28.goalkeeper Shay Given left Adebayor with a tap-in. Next up for Villa is
:18:28. > :18:31.a trip to Swansea on Saturday. Rory Delap is renowned for having
:18:31. > :18:34.one of the longest and most feared throw-ins in football. The former
:18:34. > :18:38.schoolboy javelin champion has caused havoc in Premier League
:18:38. > :18:41.defences over the last few seasons. The Stoke City midfielder turned 35
:18:41. > :18:45.this year making him one of the oldest outfield players in the
:18:45. > :18:49.Premier League. But as Laura May McMullan has been finding out, he
:18:49. > :18:55.plans to go on for a few seasons yet.
:18:55. > :18:58.Rory Delap has been described as the ultimate long throw specialist.
:18:58. > :19:06.Being able to launch the ball into the box from 40 yards out has been
:19:06. > :19:09.a constant thorn in the side of the opposition. 5th rd does get me in
:19:09. > :19:16.that the team when a manager is thinking about two or three of us.
:19:16. > :19:20.-- the throw-in does get me into the team. I'm sure if I am playing
:19:20. > :19:24.we will carry on using the. Supporters will tell you there's a
:19:24. > :19:28.lot more to his game, covering about eight miles a match, tracking
:19:28. > :19:35.back, running box-to-box, the midfielder is an important part of

:22:44. > :22:48.War Two had turned out very differently. That the D Day
:22:48. > :22:52.landings had failed and the Germans invade Britain.
:22:52. > :22:55.That's the startling premise of a new film, set in the remote hills
:22:55. > :23:00.of Herefordshire. The movie Resistance is released on Friday.
:23:00. > :23:02.It was shot in and around the starkly beautiful Black Mountains.
:23:02. > :23:08.And as Bob Hockenhull reports, there are hopes it'll boost tourism
:23:08. > :23:15.in the area. We have established an observation
:23:15. > :23:19.post and as far. We will be here for the week. The film Resistance
:23:19. > :23:21.is based on the best selling book by Owen Sheers and set in the
:23:21. > :23:24.dramatic Olchon Valley in Herefordshire, close to where the
:23:24. > :23:28.writer was brought up. Today it's one of the most peaceful parts of
:23:28. > :23:35.the Midlands but in the film, set in 1944, it's been invaded by
:23:35. > :23:39.Germans. I was going looking for a story in the Black Mountains and it
:23:39. > :23:44.was while I was researching the history of that area that I came
:23:44. > :23:49.across the story of it Siri units which would have been Britain's
:23:49. > :23:55.secret civilian insurgency in the event of a German occupation.
:23:55. > :23:58.must leave. I cannot be. If you stay, you will die. Resistance was
:23:58. > :24:01.filmed in the countryside where it's set. Not only has it put some
:24:02. > :24:07.of the more remote parts of the Midlands, it's also caused a lot of
:24:07. > :24:12.excitement for local people. People like farmer Mark Williams from
:24:12. > :24:20.Rowlestone. The production team stayed on his farm and shot scenes
:24:20. > :24:25.in the road leading to the nearby village hall. Were you happy to
:24:26. > :24:30.have them here for a stop we were happy and there was a degree of
:24:30. > :24:36.excitement. -- were you happy to have them here? There was a degree
:24:36. > :24:39.of excitement. We were glad to have the case back to ourselves any end.
:24:39. > :24:40.For many involved in making the film it was the first time they'd
:24:40. > :24:44.encountered Herefordshire's dramatic frontier with Wales.
:24:44. > :24:49.Having an outside I was really useful, coming into a valley and
:24:49. > :24:54.seeing it pretty much like it is the first time, having that kind of
:24:54. > :24:57.experience. It was something that was really useful. And it's not
:24:57. > :24:59.only Herefordshire's countryside that stars in the movie. The
:24:59. > :25:06.medieval Mappa Mundi housed in Hereford Cathedral also features,
:25:06. > :25:13.the priceless artefact is found hidden in a cave and is set on fire.
:25:13. > :25:15.It is an horrific doomsday scenario. The realistic side of using the
:25:15. > :25:18.Black Mountains to protect something precious I think is
:25:18. > :25:28.something very feasible. Resistance opens on Friday bringing this
:25:28. > :25:30.
:25:30. > :25:36.glorious Herefordshire scenery to a national audience.
:25:36. > :25:39.Magnificent countryside but it It was never going to be a
:25:39. > :25:42.straightforward week but if you're going to get rain it might as well
:25:42. > :25:45.be during the nights, and so from that perspective this week looks OK.
:25:45. > :25:48.But the winds are increasing from Thursday and that's going to make
:25:49. > :25:54.things slightly colder. You'll feel the cold a lot more tonight though
:25:54. > :26:04.as temperatures tumble. It'll probably end up being one of the
:26:04. > :26:07.
:26:07. > :26:10.coldest nights so far this autumn. There is fog as well but not as bad.
:26:10. > :26:13.It's this ridge of high pressure. That's building in tonight that's
:26:13. > :26:16.clearing the skies and leading to much calmer conditions which should
:26:16. > :26:19.be just about perfect for a frost. The low pressure then sweeps in
:26:19. > :26:23.later this week to create a bit of frisson, introducing the rain and
:26:23. > :26:26.stronger winds. So we can see the cloud is just starting to the clear
:26:26. > :26:29.the East now so in rural parts temperatures could near freezing or
:26:29. > :26:32.just below leading to a fairly widespread ground frost and a touch
:26:32. > :26:36.of air frost. We could see some shallow mist and fog but not as
:26:36. > :26:39.dense as it has been. So the morning's going to be cold, a bit
:26:39. > :26:42.frosty and misty to start but a much sunnier, drier day. There'll
:26:42. > :26:52.be some patchy cloud affecting Western parts with the odd spit of
:26:52. > :26:55.rain. But the temperatures should pick up again to 11 Celsius. As for
:26:55. > :26:58.tomorrow night, much milder with lows of eight or nine Celsius. But
:26:58. > :27:01.the winds start to pick up from Thursday onwards and it's through
:27:01. > :27:11.Thursday and Saturday night that we see the rain with the days staying
:27:11. > :27:12.
:27:12. > :27:15.see the rain with the days staying A look at tonight's main headlines:
:27:15. > :27:20.An uprising reborn, calls for a million people to take to the
:27:20. > :27:23.streets of Cairo. Protesters converge on Tahrir Square again.
:27:23. > :27:30.And a couple are jailed after a two-year-old girl was scalded in
