way. If only it was that simple. For picture offensive? Two men wearing | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
stretchy outfits known as "mankinis" while collecting for charity. Well, | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
their appearance caused outrage in a part of Birmingham with a high | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Muslim population. Especially as their sponsored walk coincided with | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
a demonstration by far right protestors. The two men who were | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
raising money for a charity for dogs needed a police escort after an | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
angry crowd made it clear they weren't welcome. Giles Latcham | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
reports. Steven Ellis and Jason Hendry love | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
dogs and it was in aid of a dogs home that they set out with Steven's | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
kids on a sponsored walk with a difference. The essential bits were | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
covered up. The difference being their choice of costume, the highly | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
revealing, for many rather comic "mankini". It was meant to be a | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
laugh for a good cause and to be having the response we did in that | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
area was unbelievable. They were walking the eight miles from | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
Solihull to Birmingham but in a district home to many Muslims, they | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
ran into trouble. The seminaked Juno say they and their supporters came | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
under attack from Asian men are throwing stones, apples and eggs. | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
The police were called and spent half an hour trying to prevent an | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
unintended or unnecessary upset. Being called a paedophile, that's a | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
bit extreme. It wasn't just me and Steve, we had my sister having | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
racial comments thrown at her. same day a few miles away in the | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
city centre the far right English Defence League were holding a | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
protest and among local Muslims tensions were high. The pair say | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
they didn't know the demonstration was taking place. The incident | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
happened close to an Islamic charity. Among the staff there, | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
contrasting views. Yes, the stonethrowing and the eggs is | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
totally unacceptable. But seminaked men walking through a town is an | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
except Bull as well. Through all of Birmingham there are people who are | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
idiots and a few people have got onto these lads, raising funds for | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
charity, do what you want. It is nobodies business if you want to go | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
to spark ill, do it. The walkers were raising funds for the new HQ of | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
Birmingham Dogs' home but they ended up being driven the last few miles | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
under police escort. Hopefully people can and do stand everyone has | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
a different idea of raising money. As long as it is legal, we support | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
it. The pair raised �300 for the dogs home and remain undaunted. | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
They're planning more charity events, mankinis included. And we'd | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
like to know what you think? Would you be offended by men similarly | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
dressed walking down your street? Or do you think those who objected went | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
over the top by hurling abuse and more? Do get in touch by email, | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Facebook or Twitter and we'll try to bring some of your responses before | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
the end of the programme. Coming up later in the programme: | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
Millions of books on the move from the old Birmingham library to the | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
new, including one that's worth more than four million pounds. | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
These are the faces of some of those still wanted for the riots in | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
Birmingham and parts of the Black Country two years ago. Since then, | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
West Midlands Police have arrested 775 people for offences connected | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
with some of the worst unrest in a generation. They're still looking | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
for 79 others, who were alleged to have been involved, but have never | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
been traced. In a moment, I'll be talking to an MP who says some of | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
the issues behind the rioting still haven't been addressed, but first | :03:49. | :03:59. | |
:03:59. | :04:00. | ||
this report from Liz Roberts. The day a jewellers in Wolverhampton | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
was on the sharp end of riots. we came in, everything was damaged. | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
The whole shop was trashed, class -- glass everywhere. Today it's very | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
different story CLIP 45 thousand pounds worth of damage was caused to | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
this business. I will not let them defeat me. I will not retire yet. I | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
started again. I started this 45 years ago, I started again. �45,000 | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
has been spent on repairs but the cost was immeasurable. We stand here | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
to plead with the dudes to remain calm. Tariq Jahan's son lost his | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
life while attempting to stop the rioters. I believe the community has | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
kept the faith, they have done well. We have had no trouble since, there | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
hasn't been anything to complain about. The rights came to an end. | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
And people have shown unity -- riots. Today at youth centre in | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
Winson Green a lack of opportunities is a recipe for frustration. Young | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
people need more things to do. More activities, more programmes for | :05:11. | :05:20. | |
young people to get into so they can go on to work. We can be | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
misunderstood as a young man. Cutbacks in the youth services | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
should not happen, more money should be put in and the youth are our | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
future. Realistically we have to keep pumping money and have belief | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
in them. The riots were the worst in a generation but the police have | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
always been clear what they believe was behind them. This was not an | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
angry crowd, this was a greedy crowd. What we were dealing with was | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
dishonesty and disorder. The police say they are better equipped to | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
react to any riots in future. Questions remain about what is being | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
done to prevent that happening. I'm joined now by Khalid Mahmood, MP | :06:07. | :06:17. | |
for Perry Barr in Birmingham. Two years after the riots, are the | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
constituency moving on? No, I know reports say they have made a number | :06:21. | :06:30. | |
of arrests with some outstanding but two years after the event we still | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
have 80 people outstanding that need to be dealt with. We have the | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
highest rates of youth unemployment, highest rates of young people coming | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
out of education without training and therefore no jobs. The highest | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
number of long-term unemployed for young people. We are about to lose a | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
generation of young people. riots panel report stated the causes | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
of these riots were complex, there is no one solution or | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
recommendation. Not all of the recommendations were down to the | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
government. It is a complex issue and the local authority has to play | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
a role but the government is the catalyst. If the government | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
continues to cut funding to local authorities and they cannot | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
deliver, in my constituency there are youth centre is being closed | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
because of the government cuts. It is difficult for the young people to | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
move forward. Money is tight so if you are part of the Labour Party | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
implementing the changes, what would you do? There are different ways, | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
the central government has squeezed and squeezed local authorities. I do | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
what I am doing, working with local institutions, a college which is | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
investing �1 million into a campus. The campus was dead. I have young | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
people going in and the college have done fantastic work. I want local | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
authorities and councils and central government to support the small | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
things which make huge difference. Does that need investment because | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
you have done that when funds are tight? It needed money from the | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
college so there are institutions that have money, we need to deliver | :08:25. | :08:33. | |
a service and not delude young people. Do you think the riots in | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
Birmingham and the Black Country could happen again? I do not want it | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
to happen again. The first time in Liz tells there was no disturbance. | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
We can beat the model. We need to work together and we need resources | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
from central government. I do not want to see more disturbances in | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
Birmingham. Jaguar Land Rover has reported a 25% | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
increase in profits for the first part of the financial year compared | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
with 12 months ago. The Indian-owned firm which has sites in Coventry, | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Castle Bromwich, Solihull and Warwickshire made pre-tax profits of | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
�415 million between April and June. JLR's retail sales were up ten per | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
cent overall - the biggest increases were in Asia. | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
Part of the M6 in Staffordshire has been closed this afternoon after two | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
separate accidents, one of which led to a chemical spill. | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
Four cars collided on the northbound carriageway between junctions twelve | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
and thirteen, Stafford South. Police say no-one was badly injured. Then | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
two lorries crashed on the same stretch of motorway leading to a | :09:34. | :09:44. | |
:09:44. | :09:47. | ||
leak of a non-hazardous chemical. Joining us now from the County | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
Showground about a mile from Stafford Hospital is one of the | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
Trust's Special Administrators Alan Bloom. Good evening to you, Mr. | :09:55. | :10:03. | |
Bloom. Good evening. You will be hearing | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
what protesters have to say about plans for Stafford Hospital will you | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
listen? Of course. This is the purpose of | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
these meetings, the first of eight public meetings and we are very keen | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
to hear what people have to say. you are downgrading services if the | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
proposals go through and one proposal is to close the maternity | :10:25. | :10:33. | |
unit which has caused uproar. People find it hard to understand closures. | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
Firstly, to be clear, we are not closing the maternity unit, all | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
prenatal and postnatal will take place as it always has. What we are | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
recommending is that babies are not worn here at some stage in the | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
future when other hospitals can deal with that. It is not that people | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
will not be able to get care for their newborn babies and mums before | :10:57. | :11:05. | |
or after the recommendation is for many reasons that the birds | :11:05. | :11:13. | |
themselves take place where mums want. We have heard how the M6 has | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
been closed around Stafford, it does not bode well if that happened if | :11:18. | :11:26. | |
mothers have to go elsewhere. you know, roads shut everywhere all | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
the time. It is always inconvenient and difficult when these situations | :11:30. | :11:38. | |
arise but it is, there are always roads jams in places. Not everybody | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
lives by Stafford either. People have to get there by road as well. | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
Senior figures in paediatrics say they have not been consulted by the | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
administrators, what do you say? Could you repeat the question? | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
Senior figures in maternity units have not been consulted by | :12:00. | :12:09. | |
administrators. They say the place... Yes, when you say the | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
place, we have reported in the past and continue to report that both | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
clinically and financially hospital is not sustainable as it is going | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
into the future. That is clear. In terms of the way we put the | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
proposals together, we have worked closely with the commissioners and | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
with royal colleges who determine what services people need and should | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
expect to get in the future. And come up with a proposal which is | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
good for the next ten years. Thank Plans for a direct rail service from | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
Shrewsbury to London could be back on track. Virgin Trains wanted to | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
reintroduce the service by the end of the year, but their proposal was | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
blocked by Network Rail and the Office of Rail Regulation. Virgin's | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
now considering a revised plan, which could see trains running from | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
Shrewsbury to London from next May. A telephone helpline which should | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
have kept patients out of hospital and saved money seems to have failed | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
to do either. Birmingham Own Health was a | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
collaboration between NHS Direct and the Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
which enabled nurses to help thousands of sick patients. Research | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
funded by the Department of Health found that the service may have | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
increased hospital admissions by nearly14%. This is our top story | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
tonight: Outrage as two charity collectors in mankinis walk through | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
Muslim communities during Ramadan. Your detailed weather forecast to | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
come shortly from Shefali. Also in tonight's programme: Upsets in the | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
League Cup, as two of our sides topple higher league opposition. | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
And why closing streets to allow children to play in safety during | :13:51. | :14:01. | |

the school holidays is an idea These pheasants reared at Whitchurch | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
but thieves have struck three times this year alone in the most recent | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
attack Andrew Growcott lost a thousand ducklings worth �3500. | :14:38. | :14:45. | |
Insurance premiums are going up, accesses are higher so in many cases | :14:45. | :14:53. | |
a libel claim, we cannot afford to claim any more. Insurance figures | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
reflect claims made and according to a brutal crime survey by NFU mutual | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
the cost of rural crime fell by 20% asked you. In the West Midlands | :15:03. | :15:13. | |
:15:13. | :15:14. | ||
though it is still costing 4-1p and in shop she it added up to �700,000. | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
Dave Farms 250 acres and heads up the NFU in Shropshire. He says | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
farmers have tried all kinds of security. We have used geese, llamas | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
but they do not always fit into the modern situation occurs farmyard is | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
unchanged but they were good at raising awareness of being noisy. | :15:35. | :15:44. | |
Today, it is better to get a camera. David Fitz tracking is Isis to farm | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
vehicles. It is a deterrent, that is a tamper-proof sticker which shows | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
it is data tags and there are hidden parts which cannot be removed from | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
the vehicle and those items can be scanned or traced by police and | :16:01. | :16:11. | |
:16:11. | :16:19. | ||
- the task of shifting more than a million books across the centre of | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
Birmingham. They're heading for the city's spectacular new library which | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
opens in less than a month. As Bob Hockenhull reports, it can be a | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
delicate operation with the most valuable single volumes worth as | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
much as four and a half million pounds. | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
The last of the books are leaving the shell of Birmingham's old | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
library. It's an operation that's taken two years of planning. More | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
than a million have been packed into crates by a team of nearly 70 | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
people. It can be a delicate operation, especially considering | :16:47. | :16:54. | |
the value of some volumes like a first edition Shakespeare play. | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
lot of the book is from one section of the archives have been valued at | :17:01. | :17:08. | |
up to 4-5p per book. We have taken great care moving those items, | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
moving them under secure circumstances to make sure they | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
arrive in the right place. They have been set the task of removing the | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
books in 66 days. The majority are being brought down here. Eight | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
storeys worth of books, CDs, DVDs and manuscripts should all have been | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
moved to the new library by the end of this week. Fortunately it's only | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
a short hop. But in this digital age, when more and more people are | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
reading online, is it really necessary to keep all the books from | :17:40. | :17:50. | |
the old library? People do have different reading styles, for some | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
people the printed form is still the best option for them. And for young | :17:55. | :18:03. | |
children, I can see the future where books do decline to an extent but I | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
do not think they will totally disappear. And for all those avid | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
readers keen to get their hands on the books - not long to wait now - | :18:12. | :18:22. | |
:18:22. | :18:22. | ||
the �189 million new library opens still waiting to see their team | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
score this season after they went out of the League Cup in the first | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
round last night. There was more misery as well for Coventry City | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
supporters. But Burton Albion and Cheltenham Town pulled off the | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
shocks of the round. Nick Clitheroe reports. | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
After they dropped into the third tier of English football in May | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
Wolves fans were hoping for a season of revival. And it would be wrong to | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
read too much into their first two matches but those supporters are | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
still waiting as Ryan Williams late free kick saw them knocked out at | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
lower division Morecambe last night. If anyone's had a more miserable | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
summer it would have to be Coventry City's supporters. Playing in yellow | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
they finished on the wrong end of a five goal thriller for the second | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
time in three days. Coventry had their captain sent off and missed a | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
penalty in defeat at Leyton Orient but it was still a far from | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
disheartening night for their manager. I thought we were to | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
reflect tonight from when the game kicked off to the final seconds. If | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
we give performances like that we have every chance of winning games | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
of foot or this season. There were plenty of winners though including | :19:28. | :19:36. | |
two of the shocks of the round. Sheffield United must be sick of the | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
sight of Burton Albion. For the second season running in this | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
competition the League Two side went to Yorkshire and won thanks to two | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
goals from Chris Hussey. And Cheltenham Town also knocked out a | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
team from the division above after a dramatic comeback. They were | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
trailing 3-1 at home to Crawley before goals from Terry Gornell and | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
Byron Harrison forced extra-time. Harrison went on to get the winner | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
as well. I thought he would shocking last week and I told him so. That is | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
the player I knew I was signing. Also through are Walsall who came | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
out on top in a Midlands derby with Port Vale. Chris Robertson cancelled | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
out Ashley Hemmings goal for the visitors and the 90 minutes was | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
almost up when James Baxendale continued Walsall's flying start to | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
the season with the winner. Birmingham City are through as well | :20:18. | :20:28. | |

but needed extra-time to beat Plymouth Argyle at St Andrews. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Shrewsbury Town won't be joining them though. Aaron Wildig's goal not | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
enough to prevent a 3-1 home defeat by Bolton. And you can see all the | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
goals from the first round in the League Cup Show on BBC One at 11.35 | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
tonight. For one day only, three busy streets | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
in Birmingham were closed to traffic today. Not for roadworks, or because | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
of a crime but to allow children to play. Sarah Falkland's in King's | :20:50. | :20:59. | |
Heath for us tonight. So Sarah this was a pilot scheme for the city? | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
Yes, it is a first for Birmingham in recent years. This street, one of | :21:04. | :21:11. | |
three streets involved in this pilot. For four hours, the roads | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
were closed and they were handed over to children for them to play. | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
And not just his street Woodville Road, but two more in King's Heath | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
as well. Normally busy rat runs, today they were playgrounds for the | :21:25. | :21:34. | |
children who live here but haven't Midlands archive shows, streets were | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
often closed off to traffic to allow children to play. But then came | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
Stranger Danger and an influx of cars. In the pilot streets this | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
afternoon the only rolling wheels were on bikes and scooters. | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
started in Bristol. There were two macro mothers who wanted to give | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
kids opportunities to play so they rolled out a scheme across 30 | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
streets. Birmingham got wind of it through a social inclusion programme | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
started by the Bishop of Birmingham and they did research into the | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
benefits of play because kids benefit mentally and physically from | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
regular playing outside. After the pilot, the hope is other communities | :22:19. | :22:28. | |
pick up on the idea and run with it. We love the idea. We enjoyed playing | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
out as children ourselves. It is great. I would like to keep it like | :22:34. | :22:41. | |
this everyday. Beautiful to get the community and kids together. | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
it's apt day for this pilot - today is national play day. | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
The cars are back in today. We have the remnants of the children playing | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
today with handprints and hopscotch. One thing we have not mentioned is | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
the impact on motorists and drivers and there has been a degree of | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
goodwill on both sides. Drivers were good and moved their cars before the | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
deadline and the organisers have been realistic saying if you need to | :23:11. | :23:18. | |
get your car back they have allowed a few cars back in. They hope for a | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
meeting with the council in a few weeks time and they hope Birmingham | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
can follow the Bristol example and 30 roads could be closed on a | :23:28. | :23:38. | |

if she has lineage. A beautiful day if she has lineage. A beautiful day | :23:40. | :23:48. | |
today. Yes, not much to complain about although I am sure we will | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
find something. Having been spoiled by high temperatures, today seemed | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
comparatively cooler but temperatures will fall further by | :23:57. | :24:05. | |
Sunday. Cooler Icelandic air is coming in our direction. | :24:05. | :24:13. | |
Low-pressure arrives in the North linked up with a cold front. By the | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
end of the weekend, more unsettled conditions. There was a | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
deterioration in conditions as we saw more cloud and also showers | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
breaking out but that was an echo from the disruption caused over the | :24:26. | :24:30. | |

other than that a similar pattern to today, it starts off with plenty of | :24:58. | :25:05. | |
sunshine and then temperatures up to 22 or 23. Through the afternoon, | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
cloud developing and we could see some showers breaking out. Generally | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
a dry picture. We have another weather front on Sunday pushing in | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
from the west again and that is having the effect of bringing some | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
rain, patchy rain through tomorrow night. It is a weakening affair. The | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
cloud will hold temperatures up at 14 to 15. On Thursday, , Friday, the | :25:36. | :25:45. | |
