:00:20. > :00:24.Good evening, welcome to Midlands I was horrified that yet another

:00:24. > :00:28.collection that is so important to the UK, was going to be broken.

:00:28. > :00:32.high-tech engineering part that could bring 2000 jobs over the next

:00:32. > :00:36.five years. First it was the gypsies refusing

:00:36. > :00:39.to move, now protesters say they will not go until these gypsies are

:00:39. > :00:44.evicted. And determination of a mum-to-be

:00:44. > :00:54.who lay head down for three months to ensure the safe delivery of her

:00:54. > :01:05.

:01:05. > :01:08.baby. For me, now that I have got Good evening. Tonight, we talk

:01:08. > :01:12.exclusively to the billionaire, prepared to spend big to preserve

:01:12. > :01:14.the heritage of the the Potteries. John Caudwell says he's "horrified"

:01:14. > :01:17.the historic exhibits at the Wedgwood pottery museum could be

:01:17. > :01:20.sold and his offer would keep the collection together.

:01:20. > :01:24.There are 10,000 ceramic pieces under threat of being sold to plug

:01:24. > :01:28.a pensions black hole. Christie's auctioneers value the collection at

:01:28. > :01:31.between �11-�18 million. Many of the exhibits have been

:01:31. > :01:37.together since they were manufactured by Josiah Wedgwood in

:01:37. > :01:40.the 18th century. Today, members of the Wedgwood

:01:40. > :01:43.family said the collection must be saved, and described news of the

:01:43. > :01:45.offer to buy it as very encouraging. Here's our Staffordshire reporter

:01:45. > :01:48.Liz Copper. Born and bred in Stoke-on-Trent,

:01:48. > :01:50.John Caudwell says it would be "disastrous" for the Potteries if

:01:50. > :01:52.the Wedgwood Collection were to be sold off. Speaking from his

:01:52. > :01:54.Staffordshire mansion, the businessman who made his fortune

:01:54. > :02:03.from mobile phones, says Josiah Wedgwood's entrepreneurial

:02:03. > :02:08.achievements must be saved, and his offer is a serious one. We have got

:02:08. > :02:13.a very valuable collection. Somebody is going to buy it at what

:02:13. > :02:18.they see as its fair value. That person might as well be me, which

:02:18. > :02:21.then enables the museum to go on and be sustainable. If other people

:02:21. > :02:25.buy it in bits and pieces, it is going to be broken up, and we have

:02:25. > :02:27.lost their heritage. The Museum at Barlaston found itself at the

:02:27. > :02:33.centre of a legal battle after Wedgwood went into administration

:02:33. > :02:36.with a pension fund deficit. On Monday, a high court judge ruled

:02:36. > :02:43.the museum is liable for that shortfall - so these treasures face

:02:43. > :02:47.being sold. This is quite a shock, that we have got a museum that a

:02:47. > :02:50.pension fund is able to claim all the items of that museum to swell

:02:50. > :02:56.it. I understand the difficulties of the pension fund, but it doesn't

:02:56. > :03:00.seem to meet, for what I understand of the situation, that there is

:03:00. > :03:04.anything other than a technical right for the pension fund to

:03:05. > :03:07.acquire these items. Whatever the view of the current law, it's this

:03:07. > :03:13.man, who's now charged with finding a solution to the Museum's dilemma

:03:13. > :03:17.- and hopefully saving the collection for the nation.

:03:17. > :03:20.whole intention, the whole thrust of this, is to try and raise the

:03:20. > :03:25.money the collection is worth, to save the collection in situ. If

:03:25. > :03:30.that takes time, the gritters have indicated they are willing to let

:03:30. > :03:32.me have that time to try and come up with a proposal -- of the

:03:32. > :03:35.creditors have indicated. Generations of the Wedgwood family

:03:35. > :03:38.donated items to the museum - they've welcomed offers of

:03:38. > :03:45.financial help. It is very encouraging to know that there are

:03:45. > :03:49.people out there willing to keep it together, that the contents of the

:03:50. > :03:53.Wedgwood Museum of the contents of the last 250 years of industrial

:03:54. > :03:56.history in the Midlands. The whole collection will have to be revalued

:03:57. > :04:01.ahead of a sale. It's likely a multi-million pound sum will need

:04:01. > :04:04.to be found to preserve Josiah Wedgwood's precious legacy.

:04:04. > :04:07.And if you're in Staffordshire, you can hear more of Liz Copper's

:04:07. > :04:14.interview with John Caudwell on BBC Stoke's breakfast show tomorrow

:04:14. > :04:16.morning. Thanks for joining us this evening.

:04:17. > :04:25.Later in the programme, a man of remarkable courage: four years

:04:26. > :04:28.after losing his arm in Iraq, he's 2,000 new jobs over five years -

:04:28. > :04:31.that's the prediction for a city struggling with unemployment. After

:04:31. > :04:34.a decade of planning, a new high- tech engineering corridor is

:04:34. > :04:37.finally emerging in Wolverhampton. Last night, Jaguar Land Rover got

:04:37. > :04:39.the green light to build its new engine plant - while neighbouring

:04:39. > :04:44.businesses have told the BBC they're winning international

:04:44. > :04:46.contracts and recruiting fast. There are also plans to build an

:04:46. > :04:53.academy to groom the next generation of skilled workers. Ben

:04:53. > :04:55.Godfrey reports. Goodrich Actuation Systems employs

:04:55. > :05:01.more than 1,000 staff in Wolverhampton - making flight

:05:01. > :05:03.controls for the likes of Boeing and Airbus. It's high-skilled

:05:03. > :05:13.engineering which just been rewarded with international

:05:13. > :05:14.

:05:14. > :05:17.contracts that should preserve this business for 30 years. We are

:05:17. > :05:23.recruiting, both in terms of engineering, technical skilled

:05:23. > :05:26.staff, as well as machinists, Christy site macro. With the highly

:05:26. > :05:29.skilled work force in the area, there is no end to the success we

:05:29. > :05:35.could have a. Regeneration of the city's northern limits is underway

:05:35. > :05:38.- these aerial pictures show a new hi-tech corridor alongside the M54.

:05:38. > :05:45.It's now an enterprise zone but for almost a decade, the i54 site

:05:45. > :05:53.struggled to take off. That was then, and this is now. After a very

:05:53. > :05:56.bumpy side, this site is seen three macro -- companies moving in.

:05:56. > :05:59.There's Jaguar Land Rover's engine plant, but aerospace firm Moog and

:05:59. > :06:09.lab testing company Eurofins got here first, and they'll open in the

:06:09. > :06:12.spring. A new road network's also planned. We will be looking and

:06:12. > :06:16.funding the new motorway interchange that will give the site

:06:16. > :06:18.direct access to the and 54. In a city with one of the UK's worst

:06:19. > :06:21.employment records, there could be a new training centre to prepare

:06:21. > :06:26.the next generation of local engineers for new employment

:06:26. > :06:32.opportunities. We anticipate several hundred more new jobs being

:06:32. > :06:37.created in the supply chain, so they are likely to follow, leading

:06:37. > :06:40.to around 2000 jobs possibly, over the next five was six years.

:06:40. > :06:43.international eyes are watching. Goodrich Actuation Systems is in

:06:44. > :06:51.the process of being bought by a US firm, which could create one of the

:06:51. > :06:58.world's largest aerospace businesses.

:06:58. > :07:03.With us now is Professor David Bailey from Coventry University.

:07:03. > :07:10.This is all very encouraging, albeit a long way off? It is hugely

:07:10. > :07:14.positive news, it anchors Jaguar Land Rover in the region. A huge

:07:15. > :07:18.amount of research and development as well, and it will create jobs.

:07:18. > :07:21.Maybe 750 jobs directly, more in the supply chain, although we don't

:07:21. > :07:25.know how many yet. It is good that it is about manufacturing, because

:07:25. > :07:30.that is the heartbeat of the region? It is what we are good at,

:07:30. > :07:34.it is more important in this region than other regions, and we are

:07:34. > :07:38.seeing a great success in the automotive sector, aerospace, also

:07:38. > :07:43.JCB, which is exporting. Other manufacturing sectors are

:07:43. > :07:47.struggling, like materials and nettles. We have got the Jaguar

:07:47. > :07:52.Land Rover factory coming along, and this increased pay and bonuses

:07:52. > :07:58.for workers at a JCB? They're doing well, because they have excellent

:07:58. > :08:03.products, and they export to places like China, Brazil, Russia, India.

:08:03. > :08:06.They are growing quickly. Countries that are focused more on the UK and

:08:06. > :08:13.the euro zone are seeing a smaller growth and the prospect of not as

:08:13. > :08:17.good. There are still a climate of fear about jobs, though. It depends

:08:17. > :08:21.on the sector they work in. Those in the public sector are seeing a

:08:21. > :08:26.lot of cutbacks. It depends what company they are working for,

:08:26. > :08:31.whether they are orientated towards the growth markets. Sadly, we will

:08:31. > :08:37.see unemployment rise over the next year, and we have seen the

:08:37. > :08:42.manufacturing slowing down. It will be a pretty turbulent 2012, given

:08:42. > :08:47.the head wind coming from overseas. I think the deputy governor of the

:08:47. > :08:52.Bank of England said yesterday that he expects the next half of 2012 to

:08:52. > :08:57.be tough, but there could be signs of real growth after that. I think

:08:57. > :09:02.there is an issue about how tough it will be, but we dip into double-

:09:02. > :09:07.dip recession, but it is difficult to tell. We don't know what is

:09:07. > :09:11.going to happen in the euro-zone, whether it goes belly-up, the US

:09:11. > :09:15.economy is growing slowly, there are fears about a slowdown in China.

:09:15. > :09:18.That is a pretty tough external environment. Thank you.

:09:18. > :09:22.Two men have been convicted of murdering a Gloucester shop worker

:09:22. > :09:26.for his iPhone. Keith Soons, who was 36, was stabbed in the head

:09:26. > :09:28.with a screwdriver after a night out in Cheltenham in February. 27-

:09:29. > :09:34.year-old Michael Sexton and 26- year-old Richard Smith had blamed

:09:34. > :09:36.each other for the fatal blow. The judge at Bristol Crown court said

:09:36. > :09:41.he'll pass mandatory life sentences, including a minimum term they'll

:09:41. > :09:44.serve. The inquest has opened in Norwich

:09:44. > :09:48.into the death of Donald Neilson, who kidnapped and murdered the

:09:48. > :09:51.Shropshire teenager Lesley Whittle. In 1975 Neilson, known as the Black

:09:51. > :09:56.Panther, abducted the 17-year-old heiress from her home and hid her

:09:56. > :10:02.in a drain in Staffordshire. He also shot Black Country postmaster

:10:02. > :10:06.Sidney Grayland. Neilson was 75. He'd been suffering from motor

:10:06. > :10:09.neurone disease and died on Sunday. A fourth ward's been closed at

:10:09. > :10:12.Warwick Hospital because of the winter sickness bug Norovirus.

:10:13. > :10:15.Visiting on the affected wards is now restricted. Over the past

:10:15. > :10:18.fortnight, there've been 14 outbreaks of the virus in hospitals,

:10:18. > :10:25.care homes and schools in the region The Health Protection Agency

:10:25. > :10:28.says that's a "reasonable" level for this time of year.

:10:28. > :10:34.Now, "Put your feet up, love" is pretty routine advice for mums-to-

:10:34. > :10:37.be. But to protect her unborn child, Donna Kelly had to put her feet up

:10:37. > :10:39.quite literally for three months, 24 hours a day.

:10:39. > :10:42.She'd already endured two miscarriages and when she fell

:10:42. > :10:46.pregnant earlier this year it looked like it might end in yet

:10:46. > :10:55.more heartache. Until a doctor stepped in and turned the problem

:10:55. > :10:59.on its head - so to speak. Here's Welcome to the world, Amelia Kelly

:10:59. > :11:06.- a baby born into an upside-down world. A baby her parents feared

:11:06. > :11:10.they'd never have. Looking at this game, I just thought, how on earth

:11:10. > :11:15.are we going to get to 28 weeks when things are looking so bleak?

:11:15. > :11:18.But then, do think we got to 34 weeks, it was absolutely amazing.

:11:18. > :11:23.When the neck of Donna's womb started to open far to soon,

:11:23. > :11:26.doctors realised she was about to suffer her third miscarriage.

:11:26. > :11:31.Surgery and medication failed, so their solution was simple - raise

:11:31. > :11:35.her feet up above her head. We were hoping to only have to do this for

:11:35. > :11:39.about a month, but it ended up going on for three months. After

:11:39. > :11:42.three months, she was quite weak, she hadn't walked for the whole

:11:42. > :11:47.period, but she did not have exercises, and can walk very well

:11:47. > :11:51.now! As a result of this aggressive treatment, she has had this lovely

:11:51. > :11:57.baby, so we are all delighted. Amelia was born prematurely by

:11:57. > :12:00.emergency C-section. That she's here at all is due to not just to

:12:00. > :12:08.that simple idea, but to her mother's determination to stick it

:12:08. > :12:13.out for so long upside down. makes it all worthwhile now we have

:12:13. > :12:16.got her. Not forgetting the two who are not with us, but without them,

:12:16. > :12:22.we wouldn't have got to where we are now. Definitely worth

:12:22. > :12:28.celebrating. I don't think I could have laid down for three months! It

:12:28. > :12:33.took a lot of resilience that she is here. Phenomenal. Everyone here

:12:33. > :12:37.is delighted by Donna's success and enchanted by Amelia. There is a

:12:37. > :12:41.recognition that the upside-down method is not ideal, and they have

:12:41. > :12:44.begun research to find an alternative. Blissfully unaware of

:12:44. > :12:47.her topsy-turvy start to life, Amelia's now back home at Shilton

:12:47. > :12:57.near Coventry - in the season of giving, the greatest gift a family

:12:57. > :13:10.

:13:10. > :13:14.Joy out of heartache. A classics starry. -- story.

:13:14. > :13:18.Villagers who have been protesting outside a gypsy camp for more than

:13:18. > :13:23.18 months are emerging from a meeting that was expected to force

:13:23. > :13:27.them to leave. Solihull council was considering ordering the cam's

:13:27. > :13:34.removal before taking action against the illegal gypsy site.

:13:34. > :13:38.What has happened? We have had a decision in the last few minutes

:13:38. > :13:44.and the council has decided to delay making a decision on this

:13:44. > :13:47.enforcement order. They have given the protesters until January 16th

:13:47. > :13:51.to let them know what their intentions are and they will

:13:51. > :13:57.discuss that enforcement order in February. What they had been

:13:57. > :14:02.intending to ask the protesters to do was to take down the awning and

:14:02. > :14:07.the things they have put up so they can watch over the gypsy camp which

:14:07. > :14:12.they want moved from Meriden. With me is the leader of the campaign,

:14:12. > :14:19.David McGrath. You will not have enforcement officers, but it is not

:14:19. > :14:24.over. We do have a breathing space to plan and we will write to the

:14:24. > :14:26.council to talk about a voluntary withdrawal but our concern is hour

:14:26. > :14:34.withdrawal should be linked to enforcement action against

:14:34. > :14:38.travellers. Enforcement has to happen and we will not move until

:14:38. > :14:44.we see that. Nevertheless, you are protesting about the gypsies

:14:44. > :14:49.breaking the law but you are as well. We are not. The Council have

:14:49. > :14:54.given us time to consider our voluntary period of withdrawal. At

:14:54. > :14:59.the same time, we do not want to be fair. We want to move but we want

:14:59. > :15:04.to see enforcement action against the gypsies. It will be 600 days

:15:04. > :15:10.since you started this vigil and it will continue through Christmas.

:15:10. > :15:14.Yes, we will have a carol service, mince pies, you are welcome to come.

:15:14. > :15:19.The gypsies have said the protest camp is in the wrong place and it

:15:19. > :15:24.should be out here calling on Solihull council to provide more

:15:24. > :15:32.spaces for gypsies to move to. They say there is nowhere for them to go

:15:32. > :15:37.Still ahead: 12 months ago they were locked in by the big freeze.

:15:37. > :15:41.This year the sprout harvest is better than ever.

:15:41. > :15:45.And the 12 months have brought a change in our weather. Last year we

:15:45. > :15:55.had snow and ice, but this Christmas things look much milder.

:15:55. > :15:59.All the details coming up. It is a staggering statistic and

:15:59. > :16:03.one we do not want to think about, but a quarter of us will have

:16:03. > :16:07.mental health problems at some time in our lives. Drugs and therapy can

:16:07. > :16:14.help, but one man has found a different way of keeping his

:16:14. > :16:17.illness at bay. His home is his studio, his studio,

:16:17. > :16:24.his sanctuary. A safe place where Jean Pierre Kunzler can express his

:16:24. > :16:28.emotions through art. If the it rather than intellectualising it.

:16:28. > :16:33.Jean Pierre believes he was born with bipolar illness. It means he

:16:33. > :16:38.plunges into periods of manic depression. As well as medication,

:16:38. > :16:44.his love of painting, he believes has rescued him from the depths of

:16:44. > :16:50.despair. When I get to those dark places, rather than let it can see

:16:51. > :16:54.me, eye pain. My paintings may not be cheerful, but when I am more

:16:54. > :16:59.balance, I will make them more peaceable. For like most patients,

:16:59. > :17:06.Jean Pierre has a psychiatric nurse. I went to ask him if art can really

:17:06. > :17:09.help. There have been famous individuals over the years who

:17:09. > :17:14.suffer with manic depressive illness, who were very creative and

:17:14. > :17:21.this art therapy is a great medium for them to express what they are

:17:21. > :17:30.feeling. Jean Pierre does not do it for money. He donates his work for

:17:30. > :17:36.all to see but that is not all. Jean Pierre Kunzler's work has been

:17:36. > :17:44.sent to Prince child and photograph of the Angel of greed -- Gabriel

:17:44. > :17:49.has resulted in a letter from the Queen. Learn to love the world,

:17:49. > :17:59.because if you can commit it will be a bit easier but if you are in

:17:59. > :18:03.

:18:03. > :18:08.Forkball and offs manager Mick McCarthy has praised the spirit of

:18:08. > :18:13.his players with their draw with Norwich. Sylvan Ebanks-Blake to

:18:13. > :18:18.return to the team with the first equaliser and Ronald Zubar got a

:18:18. > :18:21.second to insure the biggest crowd of the season did not go home

:18:21. > :18:29.downhearted. Steven Fletcher thought he had the winner but it

:18:29. > :18:35.was ruled offside. They do keep going and I am lucky I got every

:18:35. > :18:39.last drop out of them. We just did not have that finish and I know it

:18:39. > :18:46.was an open game but in the last five minutes we had enough chances

:18:46. > :18:52.to win and we should have put it to them. We erupted when that third

:18:52. > :18:56.goal went in. Aston Villa, Stoke City and West

:18:56. > :19:06.Bromwich Albion fought in action this evening and you can follow

:19:06. > :19:09.

:19:09. > :19:18.their games on your BBC local radio All these games going on, I will

:19:18. > :19:23.have to revisit my diary. In 2007, Jon-Allan Butterworth lost

:19:23. > :19:29.his arm while serving with the RAF in Iraq. As part of his

:19:29. > :19:33.rehabilitation he got on a bike. Four years on he is a world

:19:33. > :19:37.champion and a gold medal they have read for the Paralympics next year.

:19:37. > :19:42.The velodrome in Manchester - home to the most successful sporting

:19:43. > :19:48.team in Britain and there is another star emerging. 25-year-old

:19:48. > :19:56.Jon-Allan Butterworth is already Para cycling world champion. In

:19:56. > :20:03.London next August, he will add Paralympic gold. To get on a squad

:20:03. > :20:08.with only nine places, it does not take a genius to work out that

:20:08. > :20:17.there are more than nine made -- nine men on a squad and we are not

:20:17. > :20:23.all going. It will be tough to get to London. I met up with Jon-Allan

:20:23. > :20:27.to hear his remarkable story. He was an RAF weapons technician in

:20:27. > :20:36.Iraq in 2007 when he was caught up in an explosion and lost his left

:20:36. > :20:45.arm. I was trying to stem the bleeding, give myself a chance to

:20:45. > :20:51.get over the injury and survive. I would have slowly bled out. If I

:20:51. > :20:55.had to wait five or 10 minutes, I would not have made it. He was sent

:20:55. > :21:02.to a Paralympic talent day. With no other expectation than to get fit

:21:02. > :21:05.again. Next summer's Paralympics seems a long way off, but with
