:00:00. > :00:08.Hello and welcome to Midlands Today with Nick Owen and Mary Rhodes. The
:00:08. > :00:12.headlines tonight: Tributes from the music industry to a Birmingham
:00:12. > :00:21.teenager who was stabbed to death at the weekend. Extremely charismatic,
:00:21. > :00:27.he was effervescent with energy, always positive, smiling. He was an
:00:27. > :00:29.inspiration. We'll be talking to the West Midlands Deputy Crime
:00:29. > :00:32.Commissioner about the continuing battle against knife crime.
:00:32. > :00:35.Also tonight: The man described as a monster by police for his cruel and
:00:35. > :00:43.violent assaults on women and children is jailed for life. The
:00:43. > :00:46.youngest of his victims was six years old. These are dreadful
:00:46. > :00:49.offences. Four senior doctors in management
:00:49. > :00:52.roles during the care crisis at Stafford Hospital are told there'll
:00:52. > :00:55.be no action against them. With fashion guru Gok Wan on stage,
:00:55. > :01:03.will this year's Birmingham Hippodrome panto be the best dressed
:01:03. > :01:06.in the country? And sunshine certainly seems to be out of fashion
:01:06. > :01:08.at the moment, but if that is the case, we are bang on trend this
:01:08. > :01:22.week. Your full forecast coming up. Good evening. Some of the country's
:01:22. > :01:25.top rap music artists have been paying tribute to a Birmingham
:01:25. > :01:28.rapper who was stabbed to death at the weekend. 18—year—old Joshua
:01:28. > :01:35.Ribera, whose stage name was Depzman, was seen as a rising star.
:01:35. > :01:37.According to West Midlands Police, knife related offences actually
:01:37. > :01:41.dropped from almost three thousand between April 2011 and April 2012 to
:01:41. > :01:48.just over two thousand two hundred for the same period last year. But
:01:48. > :01:51.Josh Ribera's death, and the fatal stabbing of 16—year—old Azim Azam at
:01:51. > :01:55.a bus stop in Moseley last week, brought the total of fatal stabbings
:01:55. > :02:07.in Birmingham to four in the past six months.
:02:07. > :02:14.Josh Ribera rapped about making his family proud and having his own kids
:02:14. > :02:21.one day. But instead his relatives and friends are left grieving,
:02:21. > :02:28.shocked by his untimely death. Recording under the name Depzman, he
:02:28. > :02:29.is currently number one in the hip—hop album charts.
:02:29. > :02:35.Wolverhampton—based record producer Jamin Walters says he was a rising
:02:35. > :02:44.star. He was on the road to big things. He was definitely known by
:02:44. > :02:48.most people, and locally, he was definitely in the top five artists
:02:48. > :02:55.in the scene at the moment. He died here, he was on his way back from a
:02:55. > :03:01.memorial concert to remember 16—year—old close friend of his who
:03:01. > :03:04.was stabbed to death last September. His friends say they hope is high
:03:04. > :03:14.profile will make people talk about knife crime. Depzman was known and
:03:14. > :03:22.looked up to buy so many kids. Last Monday, 17—year—old as eMac Azzam
:03:22. > :03:26.was stabbed to death as he got off a bus. Some fear Birmingham is
:03:26. > :03:32.becoming the stabbing capital of Britain. The police need to be much
:03:32. > :03:35.more open with their communication. There is a strong education element
:03:35. > :03:40.that needs to be a part of this as well. But the police say it is not
:03:40. > :03:45.just up to them to get the message across. It is about everybody
:03:45. > :03:49.getting the message across to young people if you carry a knife you're
:03:49. > :03:56.liable to get stabbed. Two 18—year—old men are being questioned
:03:56. > :04:01.about Joshua Ribera's death. His name and message will live on.
:04:01. > :04:05.Teachers at a Birmingham school have voted to stop teaching a teenage boy
:04:05. > :04:08.who threatened other pupils with a knife. The boy was permanently
:04:08. > :04:13.excluded from Saltley School after a 'serious incident' but governors
:04:13. > :04:18.have since overturned the decision. The move has angered parents and
:04:18. > :04:21.teachers. In May, West Midlands Police were
:04:21. > :04:26.called to Saltley School in Birmingham after reports a pupil was
:04:26. > :04:29.threatening others with a knife. Officers took no further action. The
:04:29. > :04:34.school permanently excluded the teenage boy. But before the summer
:04:34. > :04:39.holiday, governors decided the pupil should be allowed back into classes.
:04:39. > :04:44.This parent, who has two children at Saltley School, says she's concerned
:04:44. > :04:52.for the safety of pupils. She doesn't want to be identified. This
:04:52. > :04:55.young boy threatened several children and you can imagine the
:04:55. > :04:59.dilemma we're facing. You know, what's going to happen in school? Is
:04:59. > :05:02.this boy going to hurt one of our children. What happens if he does
:05:02. > :05:04.hurt one of them? It really does scare us."
:05:04. > :05:07.It's clear some teachers also have concerns. Following a ballot, the
:05:07. > :05:11.NASUWT union has confirmed its members have voted to refuse to
:05:11. > :05:14.teach the pupil and are in further talks with the school. In a
:05:14. > :05:17.statement, the head teacher said I have total confidence in the safety
:05:17. > :05:23.of all pupils and staff at Saltley School. He said we don't have one ——
:05:23. > :05:28.we did have one incident, and it went through due process. The needs
:05:28. > :05:30.of all pupils are being met, he added. Tonight, local Labour
:05:30. > :05:34.councillors are calling for an investigation. It is very
:05:34. > :05:42.important, considering the recent stabbings of youngsters in
:05:42. > :05:46.Birmingham, there is a lot of unrest amongst the community, and the
:05:46. > :05:51.youngsters. It is really important a thorough investigation must take
:05:51. > :05:54.place. Birmingham City Council says it is acting as a mediator. This
:05:54. > :06:04.year, Ofsted gave Saltley School a 'good' rating and found their
:06:04. > :06:07.students are being kept safe. With me now is the Deputy Police and
:06:07. > :06:09.Crime Commissioner for the West Midlands, Yvonne Mosquito. Another
:06:10. > :06:15.young person stabbed to death in Birmingham. It seems like you're
:06:15. > :06:22.losing the battle. We are not losing the battle. Another life is too many
:06:22. > :06:26.lives, it is tragic and we went to express our condolences to the
:06:26. > :06:28.families of those who have lost their loved ones in these horrible
:06:28. > :06:35.circumstances. But over the past decade, knife crime has gone down,
:06:35. > :06:39.it hasn't increased. It is no consolation to any member, any
:06:39. > :06:43.family that has lost someone, but that is the reality. Knife crime has
:06:43. > :06:50.gone down. But it is still occurring. You seem to have lost
:06:50. > :06:56.lots of initiative over that time. It is still happening? It is, and it
:06:56. > :07:02.is horribly unfortunate. The fact that we have lost life, but crime
:07:02. > :07:06.has gone down over the decade, 50% of all knife crime has been reduced.
:07:06. > :07:15.The police are working with the community, with schools, local
:07:15. > :07:23.organisations, Crimestoppers. 45,000 youngsters are in schools with a
:07:23. > :07:28.firearms officer. A lot of work has been going on. But is it enough?
:07:28. > :07:36.Charity we spoke to has said that some young people are scared.
:07:36. > :07:40.Absolutely. I would say it is never enough. We all have a duty to reduce
:07:40. > :07:45.this. One life is too much, for lives is too much. Any life gone in
:07:45. > :07:51.these circumstances is tragic. We all have a duty. We want to work
:07:51. > :07:55.together to educate young people, and the young people themselves want
:07:55. > :08:00.to do something about it. There is called for knife amnesty. Do you
:08:00. > :08:05.think that the governors at Saltley School were right to reinstate that
:08:05. > :08:10.pupil? I don't know the facts of the case but I will be speaking to the
:08:10. > :08:14.Chief Constable tomorrow. Thank you. Coming up later in the programme: Do
:08:14. > :08:16.urban otters have a different diet from their rural counterparts? Otter
:08:16. > :08:24.spotters inspect their droppings to find out.
:08:24. > :08:28.A violent paedophile described by a senior detective as a "monster and a
:08:28. > :08:30.bully" has been jailed for life. 39—year—old Karl Clay, from
:08:30. > :08:36.Coventry, committed offences against ten victims over a 16—year period.
:08:36. > :08:39.Clay's reign of terror began in 1992, but he evaded justice until
:08:39. > :08:46.2011 when two victims finally plucked up the courage to talk to
:08:46. > :08:52.police. His victims included girls, boys and women and he used extreme
:08:52. > :08:57.violence. In 1994, he smothered a woman with a pillow then raped her.
:08:57. > :09:02.In 2004, he stabbed a fork into a teenage boy's foot. And, in 2005, he
:09:02. > :09:05.terrified two children into submission after squirting them with
:09:05. > :09:11.lighter fuel and threatening to set it alight. Our reporter Giles
:09:11. > :09:15.Latcham joins us now from our Coventry studio. A terrible set of
:09:15. > :09:21.crimes, Giles. How did they go undetected for so long? Put simply
:09:21. > :09:25.through intimidation. He's a big man as well as a brutal one and for
:09:25. > :09:29.years his victims were too scared to speak out. But two years ago two of
:09:29. > :09:33.them found the courage to tell their mother and that led to a police
:09:33. > :09:39.investigation and eventually to a month—long trial which ended in
:09:39. > :09:42.July. Clay, from the Wood End area of Coventry was convicted of a
:09:42. > :09:45.catalogue of what the judge called terrible abuse, including two counts
:09:45. > :09:52.of rape, attempted rape, actual bodily harm, indecency with a child
:09:52. > :09:57.and indecent assault. His youngest victims aged just six and four. The
:09:57. > :10:02.police officer who invested —— who investigated Karl Clay is the same
:10:02. > :10:07.one who led the investigation into the murder of Daniel Pell car. He
:10:08. > :10:14.describes Karl Clay as a monster and a bully. Quite possibly he is the
:10:14. > :10:21.vilest perpetrator I have dealt with. Not only did the subject is
:10:21. > :10:25.victims to suggest it —— sadistic sexual offences, he was also very
:10:25. > :10:28.violent. On one occasion he poured petrol on his victims. They must
:10:29. > :10:40.have been absolutely terrified by this man. Clay is now facing a very
:10:40. > :10:42.long time in jail, isn't he? He was given two life sentences with a
:10:43. > :10:45.recommendation that he serve at least 15 years before he's
:10:45. > :10:48.considered for parole. The judge said he'd targeted the most
:10:49. > :10:51.vulnerable, that in the case of his youngest victims, he'd "taken away
:10:51. > :10:56.their childhood". They lived with fear and distress, she said, which
:10:56. > :10:58.had scarred their lives. The police have released three separate
:10:58. > :11:01.pictures of Clay, the earliest dating back to 1998. Point being
:11:01. > :11:05.they're convinced there are other victims of Clay out there yet to be
:11:05. > :11:09.identified. They say they will seek justice for them.
:11:09. > :11:12.The General Medical Council is dropping action against four senior
:11:12. > :11:15.doctors who had management roles at Stafford Hospital during the time of
:11:15. > :11:19.the scandal over care. The GMC says its decision was based
:11:19. > :11:21.on legal advice that there wasn't adequate evidence to pursue the
:11:21. > :11:28.cases. Our Health Correspondent Michele Paduano is with us. What is
:11:28. > :11:36.the detail behind the GMC deciding that they couldn't pursue this?
:11:36. > :11:38.Three of the doctors, they were either medical director or deputy
:11:38. > :11:46.medical director of the hospital. The General medical Council called
:11:46. > :11:50.in Tom Clark, the person responsible for leading a public enquiry. It
:11:50. > :11:54.didn't seek to find blame, so they couldn't use that against them. The
:11:54. > :11:59.previous reports were not at a sufficiently high level to establish
:11:59. > :12:02.blame. Witnesses had not come forward in sufficient numbers, and
:12:02. > :12:06.those that have worked quite supportive of them. When they were
:12:07. > :12:12.making complaints, they were falling on deaf ears. This lack of action
:12:12. > :12:18.against the doctors, rather frustratingly the premise to? Very
:12:18. > :12:22.much so. It doesn't matter if they harm the patient in the past, they
:12:22. > :12:28.can only be punished if they are still a risk to patients. When the
:12:28. > :12:31.Prime Minister was talking he was extremely frustrated about the fact
:12:31. > :12:36.that no doctor had yet been struck off. I believe the regular to rebut
:12:36. > :12:40.is in particular are going to have difficult questions to answer. The
:12:40. > :12:47.nursing and midwifery Council need to explain why no one has been
:12:47. > :12:50.struck off. The Secretary of State for health has invited them to
:12:50. > :12:56.explain what steps they will take to strengthen their accountability in
:12:56. > :13:01.the right light of this report. And what of the relatives, what have
:13:01. > :13:09.they have to say about this? Not surprised. I spoke to Julie Bailey
:13:09. > :13:12.in Brighton today, and one of the rather frustratingly is as you don't
:13:12. > :13:16.get to find out what the evidences from which decisions are made. She
:13:16. > :13:21.is sure on her own mind that these doctors knew what was going on. And
:13:21. > :13:25.that they should be aware of the appalling things going on on the
:13:25. > :13:28.wards. Research has begun in Warwickshire
:13:28. > :13:30.to see what urban otters eat in comparison with their country
:13:30. > :13:34.cousins. Researchers will be examining their
:13:34. > :13:37.droppings — or spraint — to see how different the diet of rural otters
:13:38. > :13:41.is from those that pass through our towns and cities. Our Rural Affairs
:13:41. > :13:46.Correspondent David Gregory—Kumar is down by the waterside right now and
:13:46. > :13:50.can tell us more. I've been doing this job for at
:13:50. > :13:53.least a decade and while we've talked about the otter resurgence in
:13:53. > :13:58.that time they really are doing well and are in canals and rivers in our
:13:58. > :14:03.towns and cities. As you said, researchers have been out in
:14:03. > :14:10.Stratford. We met one who is using a long spoon to get hold of otter
:14:10. > :14:17.droppings. This is to see if their diet is different. Quite likely,
:14:17. > :14:21.because they have different things, all different types official that
:14:21. > :14:30.might be available. They could be eating, scavenging, all around the
:14:30. > :14:43.city. Like foxes and badgers. They could eat the remains of someone's
:14:43. > :14:47.chicken down by the Riverside. With me is Paul Wildlison from the canals
:14:47. > :14:50.and rivers trust. Paul, you do work to encourage otters, don't you? We
:14:50. > :14:56.know they have occasionally been passing through. We don't know what
:14:56. > :15:02.the barriers might be, if any. We are appealing to people to get in
:15:02. > :15:06.touch with us because we have 600 kilometres of Canon Alan the
:15:06. > :15:13.Midlands. If people are not sure to look for the signs of otters, we
:15:13. > :15:17.have been training courses for people to come along and do some
:15:17. > :15:23.monitoring. Are they passing through or living here? They are probably
:15:23. > :15:31.passing through at the moment. Birmingham city centre, they will
:15:31. > :15:40.pass through 20 kilometres for females or 40, mutters for males.
:15:40. > :15:43.You do not have to travel very far to get decent habitat, but in this
:15:43. > :15:49.area there might not be enough for shelter and rest. Thank you very
:15:49. > :15:53.much. That's all from the canalside. And there will be more on the otters
:15:53. > :15:56.returning to our towns and cities on Inside Out tonight. Join Mary for
:15:56. > :16:00.that and other stories at 7.30pm. This is our top story tonight: Top
:16:00. > :16:04.rap artists pay tribute to a Birmingham teenager who was stabbed
:16:04. > :16:08.to death at the weekend. Your detailed weather forecast to
:16:08. > :16:11.come shortly. Also in tonight's programme, a stunning start for
:16:11. > :16:16.Jesse Lingard, on loan from Manchester United, scoring all four
:16:16. > :16:20.goals for Birmingham City. And having them in stitches, stylist
:16:20. > :16:29.Gok Wan among the stars for the UK's biggest panto at the Hippodrome.
:16:29. > :16:35.Onto sport, and there's a big night of speedway in prospect tonight as
:16:35. > :16:38.Wolves take on local rivals the Brummies in the Elite League
:16:38. > :16:41.Play—offs. Our reporter Dan Pallet is at
:16:41. > :16:44.Monmore Green. Wolves fans had been hoping to welcome back Tai
:16:44. > :16:53.Wooffinden as World Champion, they're going to have to wait,
:16:53. > :17:00.aren't they? That's right. He is not even here. The two teams are on the
:17:00. > :17:04.track at the moment. Tai Woffinden Isn't here at all and he is not yet
:17:04. > :17:08.world champion. That's because he broke his collarbone for the time
:17:08. > :17:15.this season. That did not stop racing on, and inch closer to
:17:15. > :17:17.winning that world title. Who wouldn't be in pain with their
:17:18. > :17:21.collarbone sticking out like that? But Tai Woffinden rode through the
:17:21. > :17:24.pain barrier and is now on the verge of becoming World Champion. And the
:17:24. > :17:27.setback came very early in Saturday's Swedish Grand Prix.
:17:27. > :17:30.Woffinden crashed into Tomasz Gollob in his bery first race leaving the
:17:30. > :17:34.pole with concussion and a back injury and breaking his own
:17:34. > :17:40.collarbone. But with the world title at stake he decided to ride on
:17:40. > :17:45.through the pain barrier. He finished second twice, and then a
:17:45. > :17:51.sensational start saw him win the race. Eventually the pain became too
:17:51. > :17:54.great and in his fifth race of the night he had to withdraw. But the
:17:54. > :17:58.seven valuable points he won on the night means he needs just six more
:17:58. > :18:01.in the season's final grand prix to clinch the title. It's the second
:18:01. > :18:04.time Woffinden's broken the collarbone this season — this time
:18:04. > :18:08.he's also bent the metal plate supposed to hold it in place. But
:18:08. > :18:16.Tai Woffinden doesn't lack for bravery — not with the World
:18:16. > :18:23.Championship in sight. An incredible night on Saturday. Let's find out a
:18:23. > :18:29.bit more about Tai Woffinden. How we see this evening? The medical advice
:18:29. > :18:34.is to take rest. He is going to continue racing and make the final
:18:34. > :18:39.decision about what to do with the collar bone. It got bent in the
:18:39. > :18:43.accident on Saturday night. A terrific anti—climax for everybody.
:18:43. > :18:46.We were convinced we were going to be welcoming the speedway champion,
:18:46. > :18:52.and there we have got to wait two weeks. Shows how tough he is that he
:18:52. > :19:02.went on and all that pain? Amazing performance. The lad, you know, it
:19:03. > :19:07.was an amazing performance. Still a big night tonight. How much are you
:19:07. > :19:09.looking forward to it? It is the biggest night we have had for years.
:19:09. > :19:16.Arming and have done remarkably well. We have sneaked into the
:19:16. > :19:21.play—offs. These two next Monday are going to be so important for Midland
:19:21. > :19:26.speedway and we are delighted to be hosting the first leg tonight.
:19:26. > :19:31.Perhaps he could race for you this season again. What do you think? The
:19:31. > :19:38.plus point is we are going to have a Midlands team in the grand final.
:19:38. > :19:44.Just a few hours before he had his injury, I can man got his big break
:19:44. > :19:49.with Birmingham City. His name is Jesse Lingard, on loan from
:19:49. > :19:58.Manchester United. He celebrated by scoring all four goals. I am very
:19:58. > :20:06.nervous. A lot of pressure. I did that and got a few goals as well.
:20:06. > :20:12.That is an understatement. Jesse Lingard is very modest, very laid.
:20:12. > :20:19.Just 20 years old, his first goal came in his professional debut. Nine
:20:19. > :20:25.minutes later, Jesse popped up again to double Birmingham's lead against
:20:25. > :20:31.Sheffield Wednesday. And barely four minutes after that, he pounced once
:20:31. > :20:42.more to lead the Blues' fans at Cloud nine. It was like a dream, to
:20:42. > :20:46.be fair. But Jesse had one more trick up his sleeve, six minutes
:20:46. > :20:51.after half—time. You hope that he makes an impact but you don't think
:20:51. > :21:00.in your wildest dreams that he will score four goals. I am not sure
:21:00. > :21:08.Jesse would remember Trevor Francis. He has now set himself up, such a
:21:08. > :21:15.high standard. What sort of weekend has it been for you? It has been
:21:15. > :21:25.hectic. I watched the Derby yesterday and back to training
:21:25. > :21:30.today. A lot of text? Yeah, a lot of messages from my family and friends,
:21:30. > :21:36.another confidence booster. West Bromwich is a wonder first Premier

:23:18. > :23:23.opportunity to go hyper octane camp. I am going to go to town with
:23:23. > :23:29.it. How does it work being a mirror but a person? Snow—white, one of the

:23:34. > :23:38.in. And then there's The Dame, a first time role for Gary Wilmot —
:23:38. > :23:43.whose mum was born in Birmingham. It is a great honour to play the role
:23:43. > :23:46.of the Dame. But you think I've got to get it right for all those people
:23:46. > :23:52.that have plagued the Dame, all those kids who don't know what the

:24:55. > :24:57.tomorrow — tell me it's going to be warm and dry, Rebecca.
:24:57. > :25:02.tomorrow — tell me it's going to be warm Warm and dry, yes, but if today
:25:02. > :25:07.is anything to go by, it might not be too good. We have had a big
:25:07. > :25:10.blanket of cloud sitting over us. The sun has really struggled to get
:25:11. > :25:16.through that. It has affected temperatures. We only got up to 17
:25:16. > :25:20.or 18 across the region. Elsewhere, we managed to make it up to the 20s.
:25:20. > :25:26.It will stay settled through the next few days to say the least. High
:25:26. > :25:29.pressure is sitting over us. We are still drawing in warm air, but by
:25:29. > :25:35.the middle of the week, it will start to change because we are going
:25:35. > :25:38.to see the return of showers. We still have cloud sitting over us to
:25:38. > :25:45.night. Through the night we will see dry air pushing, moving that cloud
:25:45. > :25:47.out of the way. When we get those clearing skies, we could see mist
:25:47. > :25:52.and fog patches developing by tomorrow morning. Where the cloud is
:25:52. > :26:01.sticking, temperatures will be helped. It will be a misty, grey,
:26:01. > :26:05.cloudy start. We will see the sun burning through that cloud. Because
:26:05. > :26:08.the sun is quite strong and we have got that milder air, temperatures
:26:08. > :26:14.could shoot up into the 20s tomorrow. There will be plenty more
:26:14. > :26:19.sunshine to come through the afternoon. Then, very similar to
:26:19. > :26:25.what we have seen this afternoon and tonight, the holes in that cloud
:26:25. > :26:29.will be filled in. We could see the odd shower through the night across
:26:29. > :26:32.Herefordshire. Another mild night to come, the average is up to 14
:26:32. > :26:37.Celsius. As we move through to Wednesday, things are starting to
:26:37. > :26:42.change. This area of low pressure is waiting to moving, throwing weather
:26:42. > :26:46.fronts at us as we move into Wednesday and Thursday. By Thursday,
:26:46. > :26:50.we are starting to see the return of showers through the day. The best of
:26:50. > :26:54.the conditions to the next few days look to come tomorrow. As we move
:26:54. > :26:59.through Wednesday and Thursday, the return of showers with more to come
:26:59. > :27:02.through the weekend I'm afraid. Let's recap tonight's top stories:
:27:02. > :27:06.Terror in Nairobi — the siege at a Kenyan shopping mall continues — 62
:27:06. > :27:09.people are now dead including four Britons.
:27:09. > :27:15.And top rap artists pay tribute to a Birmingham teenager who was stabbed
:27:15. > :27:20.to death at the weekend. I'll be back at 10pm, including the speedway
:27:20. > :27:24.results. Have a great evening. Goodbye.
