suitable chairman of the Co-op. That is all from the BBC News at | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: Birmingham's | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Filipino community says there's been an overwhelming response as they | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
prepare to send aid direct to victims of the typhoon. | :00:10. | :00:21. | |
Thereafter a few that I note that have lost 16 members of their | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
family. We'll be hearing from an aid worker just back from the | :00:26. | :00:26. | |
Philippines. Also tonight: It is quite scary | :00:27. | :00:37. | |
working in Birmingham knowing he is around. Is this the man who's | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
carried out 11 terrifying attacks on women with a hypodermic needle? | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Fears that nursery schools could shut in the Potteries as council | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
cutbacks bite. It is not right spending money on a new building! | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
So many England hopes resting on their shoulders ` the Warwickshire | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
batsmen poised for action as the Ashes get underway down under | :00:59. | :00:59. | |
tonight. And after a hard frost, a lashing | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
from hailstones and showers of sleet and snow ` could it get much worse | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
than it already is? Find out later in the forecast. | :01:08. | :01:17. | |
Good evening. Filipino groups are preparing to send out money and aid | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
they've been collecting to help their country rebuild after Typhoon | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Haiyan. They say they've been overwhelmed by the response from the | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
public. The plan is to adopt four of the worst affected towns, to be sure | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
help is going directly to those most in need. The operation's being | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
co`ordinated in Birmingham which has one of the largest Filipino | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
communities in the country. Giles Latcham reports. | :01:40. | :01:49. | |
In a community centre in Woodgate, a real community effort. Among the | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
volunteers, Filipino expats thinking of their countrymen back home. My | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
heart bleeds for them and I can really sympathise with how they | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
feel. We are so far so that is one of the things we can contribute. | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
Donations began to come in within hours of the typhoon striking. It is | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
quite overwhelming. This came in from all over, Gloucester, not just | :02:20. | :02:30. | |
Birmingham. The number of dead is put at nearly 4000, the number | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
displaced 4 million. One of the first UK aid workers to travel to | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
the Philippines has just returned. Behind me was once her home to. He | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
filmed his own pictures and is still struggling to comprehend the scale | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
of the disaster. Things were turned upside down completely. Completely | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
decimated. In areas that were not hit, you would hardly know there is | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
a crisis but it is a different world there. Special prayers have been | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
said at this church in Harborne where a collection raised nearly | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
?5,000 for the relief effort. One Filipino worshipper has lost 16 | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
members of her family. I have not asked this dear nurse any more | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
questions because I cannot imagine what it is like. One person dead, | :03:31. | :03:40. | |
several thousand miles away but 16? Their families tend to be much | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
closer to them. These supplies are on their way, destined for four | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
nominated towns so we will know who have benefited. There is no quick | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
fix. The Filipinos will need their friends abroad for into the future. | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
Coming up later in the programme: The great M6 mystery ` miles of | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
cones but where are the workers? The answer may surprise you. | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
Police say they're now investigating 11 suspected cases of attacks with a | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
hypodermic needle on women in Birmingham city centre. All have | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
been in the popular and busy Broad Street area. We can go over live to | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
our reporter Bob Hockenhull. Extremely nasty attacks and very | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
worrying for the victims, Bob. Yes, the immediate assumption by those | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
attacked is they may well have been infected by something nasty. | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
Fortunately, that has not proved to be the case but the police are | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
struggling to find a motive for the attacks which have been taking place | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
over a period of many months. It was 4am, Katie Wakeman was trying to get | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
a taxi on broad Street after a night out when she felt a sharp pain in | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
her buttock. She had a puncture wound which | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
needed hospital treatment. I turned round to see who was behind me, | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
there was no one there. The physical is gone but I am still suffering | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
psychologically. I have not been too broad Street since. Police believe | :05:22. | :05:30. | |
the assault may be linked to 11 similar attacks. They have released | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
this CCTV image of a suspect and also want to talk to another man | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
shown on the footage. Many of the offences happened several months ago | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
so there is a lot of work we need to be doing based on the initial | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
descriptions given by the victims. The women attacked have all | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
undergone blood tests for HIV and other diseases. So far they have | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
showed no symptoms but some victims are still awaiting results. It is | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
quite scary working in Birmingham knowing he is around. It is | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
obviously very dangerous and the risk of contracting diseases. They | :06:14. | :06:23. | |
need to be caught. The police say the attacks are causing concern. | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
They say the number of offices patrolling the area have increased. | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
Licensees, doormen and Street wardens have also been put on | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
alert. I am confident the attacks will stop now. Whoever is doing this | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
would be a full to come back. But the victim 's want to see the attack | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
are brought to justice as soon as possible. What else are police | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
doing? The images of the two suspects | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
released were taken on November three, the date of one of the latest | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
attacks but now they are getting news of lots more assaults say there | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
is lots more CCTV footage to work through. That is what the police are | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
doing now, trying to find clues as to who may be responsible. | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
There was severe traffic congestion on the M40 today when a lorry | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
partially overturned, after crashing through the central reservation and | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
trapping a car underneath it. The southbound carriageway was closed | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
for several hours between junctions 16 and 15 at Warwick. The third lane | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
of the motorway was closed in both directions for emergency barrier | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
repair and may remain shut overnight. | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
No decision's been made yet on whether or not the government will | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
take control of children's services from Birmingham City Council. The | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
department's been rated "inadequate" for four years, following a number | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
of high`profile child deaths in the city, including Khyra Ishaq in 2008 | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
and Keanu Williams in 2011. Children's Minister Edward Timpson | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
told a committee of MPs one option would be for children's services to | :08:02. | :08:11. | |
be run by an independent trust. What we need to see is more information | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
about the progression within Birmingham and what will be the best | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
way of transforming children's services. | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
Parents are worried a nursery that's been praised for its "outstanding" | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
education and childcare could shut because of council cuts. As we | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
reported last night, Stoke on Trent City Council is making savings of | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
?20 million. It's changing the way pre`school education is funded, but | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
the Chair of Governors at one nursery says the decision would be | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
short`sighted. Here's our Staffordshire reporter, Liz Copper. | :08:42. | :08:54. | |
Arriving at the Grange Nursery in a hailstorm. But these children could | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
be part of a political storm. Changes to the number of hours of | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
nursery care and the charges have led to fears for this nursery's | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
future. It would be a disaster around here. At the end of the day, | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
we are children who need education. They are always moaning they have no | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
money but they can find money to build what they want. Stoke`on`Trent | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
city council is planning to save ?20 million next year. The council's | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
budget stands at around ?500 million. The changes to nursery care | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
are part of wide ranging proposals. The schools have been rated | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
excellent and I can see the impact they are having on children and | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
families. They need to think carefully about the consequences of | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
the withdrawal of that provision, especially when it has been | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
successful. The council says these plans are about harmonising care and | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
will provide equality for children. The council says there will be | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
benefits elsewhere. The council's chief executive said this is about | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
providing equality. Parents do not see this as equitable. It is about | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
providing equality because it ensures that the 15 hour offer is | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
available to all parents no matter where they live and on top of that, | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
will be additional support, targeted support for the most disadvantaged | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
children and families. Parents are being consulted on the plans and | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
final decisions are expected to be made in the New Year. | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
This is our top story tonight: Filipino communities in Birmingham | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
to send aid direct to four towns devastated by the typhoon in their | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
homeland. Your detailed weather forecast to | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
come shortly from Shefali. Also in tonight's programme: the car that | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
can't crash ` how work being done right here could make it a reality. | :11:04. | :11:12. | |
And I am at the German Christmas market with attractions millions of | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
visitors to Birmingham city centre every year. | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
Congestion on the M6 around Birmingham is up to three times | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
worse since major road works began. Not surprisingly, the delays have | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
been leaving drivers frustrated but also confused. That's because | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
there's mile after mile of cones, but often not a sign of any work | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
taking place. So what's going on? Holly Lewis has been investigating. | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
For 18 months, there have been eight miles of road works on the M5 and | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
more heading north. It has caused delays and frustration especially as | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
often there was no worker to be seen. The answer is | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
straightforward. During the day their race snagging work and a small | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
amount of work to complete but all the main resurfacing work, or that | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
has to be done at night when we can get onto the lanes. The works are | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
part of a plan to ease congestion but at the moment they are making it | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
worse. Research shows that in the first few months, the average speed | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
on this section was just 19 miles an hour. In April there were three | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
times as many reports of traffic problems as just before the | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
roadworks started in 2012. The difference is probably due to | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
motorists finding alternative routes. I prefer to use the toll | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
road because it saves me time. The solution is to bring in more toll | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
roads. The roadworks are part of a plan to turn this stretch of the M6 | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
into a managed motorway using technology to control speed limits | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
and bringing the hard shoulder into play due in busy times. Birmingham | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
chamber of commerce has said businesses are losing out because of | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
the delays at the government says this brings benefits. Jobs are | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
created through construction, there will be economic benefits for the | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
whole region as people will be able to move around. The improvements are | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
due to be completed by April next year. | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
Just a few of your comments on this story. Mo Awais reckons it could | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
have been done in half the time. Nick Insull says the road works near | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
Spaghetti have been a nightmare in the evenings. Pete Woodcock says | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
he's switching to the A38. Julie Talbot says it's been a complete | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
"pain". And Matt Jeffries says in theory four lanes on the M6 will be | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
great, but only if drivers use them properly. Thank you to all of you | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
who got in touch. Staying behind the wheel and could | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
we one day have a car that simply can't crash? Well, some ground | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
breaking technology demonstrated in Warwickshire today could see that | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
become reality. Our Transport Correspondent Peter Plisner reports | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
from MIRA, the Motor Industry Research Association testing ground | :14:17. | :14:26. | |
near Nuneaton in Warwickshire. We are driving along, minding our | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
own business, traffic ahead slows and as we checked the traffic, the | :14:32. | :14:41. | |
closing speed is too fast. Another collision avoided by the car that | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
stops itself. This is not pie in the sky technology. It is available now | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
and was today on show at a special demonstration in Warwickshire. | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
Sensors can tell how close the traffic ahead is. If too close, the | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
brakes are applied automatically. It will not guarantee it. An accident | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
but it will alert the driver if the closing speed is too fast to be | :15:10. | :15:18. | |
comfortable. This is really amazing technology. The car that parks | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
itself. A series of sensors is judging how close the cars nearby | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
are. It is parking the car perfectly. Today there was | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
simulation of a system designed to stop drivers straying out of lanes | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
on motorways. Experts maintain we're not far from the car that | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
effectively can drive itself. We will see these technologies | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
proliferating quickly and by 2020 we will have the core technologies that | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
will drive themselves. That will reduce crashes to protect honourable | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
road users and reduce crashes. That is good news for all drivers | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
including those invited to today's event. It is very impressive, | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
thereon lots of the things I have not experienced before, the | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
automated parking and the brake intervention which is the future of | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
road safety. A glimpse of future motoring but the big question is | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
will drivers be happy to hand over control of their car to a computer? | :16:29. | :16:38. | |
In cricket, just five hours to wait now until the first ball of the new | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
Ashes series is bowled down under in Brisbane. The Warwickshire pair of | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott will be the backbone of the England team. | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
But they're expecting a rough reception from the Australians who | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
are desperate to win back the Ashes. Nick Clitheroe reports. | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
The weather may be hot in Brisbane but the reception has been hotter. | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
The Australian media has wasted no time trying to unsettle the England | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
team. Kevin Pietersen has been their target. I don't live in the bright | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
lights of London, I live in Birmingham so I am very proud of | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
where I have come from and what I am about. England's players seem to be | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
taking the criticism in their stride. They knew what to expect | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
from opponents wounded by three Ashes defeats in a row. We will have | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
to start very well in Brisbane, Australia have a fantastic record | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
there. It is a fantastic challenge for us. As an Englishman in | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
Australia, it is the number`1 challenge. From a nation used to | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
dominating world cricket, the pressure is on Australia. The guys | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
have great memories of playing in Australia. That history we have with | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
the Ashes is great to be involved in. The Australian public are | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
passionate about winning. They expect or their teams to win and | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
they generally do that. England's every move will be closely | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
scrutinised but if Alistair Cooke gets his hands on the tiny and once | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
more, it will all have been worthwhile. With us is someone who | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
played for England in the last test three months ago. Chris Woakes. You | :18:36. | :18:43. | |
have played in Australia and it will be tasty tonight. It will be. That | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
first session will be tasty and the Australians will hope they can stamp | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
their authority early on. You played in an Ashes test match. Does the | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
atmosphere affect the players? Once you get onto the pitch you are in a | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
zone. You definitely are aware of what is going on around you. For the | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
English lads, they will have to try to blank that out. There will be | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
plenty of Australians screaming at them so it will be an interesting | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
first sessions. What about the mentality of the Australians? There | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
is pressure on them to win. Having lost the last three Ashes series and | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
this being in their own backyard, there will be pressure on them. How | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
much do you think breasts on Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott? `` rests. | :19:45. | :19:54. | |
They had a fantastic series in the home series so if they can do that | :19:55. | :20:05. | |
again, that would be great. Can the Australians turn it round? It will | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
be a hard`fought series. I personally think England have got | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
too much for them. The Australians record at the Gabba is fantastic so | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
the first test will be crucial. Thank you. | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
Our canals can be great routes to walk or cycle, taking you deep into | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
the countryside. I'm a big fan myself, but not all towpaths are in | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
good condition. If it all becomes too muddy to cross, then you may | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
well have to go back on yourself. Well, Sarah Falkland's been finding | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
out about some hi`tech help that'll soon be at hand. | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
The flight of locks in Warwickshire, Wolves owner as the | :20:51. | :21:01. | |
stairway to heaven. `` also known. Mapping for Google's canal version | :21:02. | :21:07. | |

a heavy knapsack. The harness is very comfortable and with the sticks | :21:22. | :21:26. | |

Google. This project is about drawing more people onto the canal | :21:45. | :21:55. | |
network. Where did I see that unusual sculpture? Where was that | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
fantastic view? We are doing quite a few sites in the West Midlands and | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
various areas. We are doing Birmingham city centre and some of | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
our lovely legs. Capturing canalside life is not likely to be as quite | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
controversial as Streetview which was criticised for invading people | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
's privacy and trackers like Howard are in good company. Venice was | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
launched this week on the web as a 360 destination. The Midlands canal | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
view should be online in the next six months. So Howard had better get | :22:35. | :22:46. | |
a move on. Now the weather forecast. The worst | :22:47. | :23:02. | |
is almost over, certainly of Hale, sleet and snow but we have other | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
concerns and that will be in the form of ice, frost and freezing fog | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
by the end of the weekend but also the days will be largely dry. The | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
low pressure brought us today is strengthening winds. This is pulling | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
to the south`east and once it does, high pressure will replace it | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
tomorrow. As I said, right now we have got some showers to content | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
with. The worst is over but it does not look like it from the chart | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
because some of the showers are quite lively. It is only towards the | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
end of the night that they may show signs of easing. Temperatures above | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
freezing for most tonight, too minus four Celsius. In rural spots we | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
could see those values drop low enough for ice and frost tomorrow | :23:57. | :24:07. | |
morning. The eastern half of the region during the morning will see a | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
fuse showers. After they will be cut off by the growing tendency of that | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
high pressure to the north`west. By the afternoon it will be much drier | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
and we will see plenty of water and sunshine taking temperatures up to | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
seven Celsius. The winds still brisk and they will add a wind chill | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
factor making it feel colder. Tomorrow night, the winds on later. | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
But the cloud streams in from the north and will prevent temperatures | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
dropping from two below. For the rest of the week, largely dry with | :24:50. | :25:00. | |
night frosts and freezing fog. We are hoping it is not too bad at the | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
German market. It is really quite chilly here. It is a warm, festive | :25:06. | :25:15. | |
glow generated by the crowds visiting 200 stalls and earlier I | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
joined them. It is festive fun but the German market in Birmingham city | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
centre is positive news for hotels, shops and rushed once. It brings | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
people to Birmingham on short breaks to sample the market and once here, | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
this is where they do their main Christmas shopping. It is the | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
biggest market of its kind outside Germany and Austria and stretches a | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
mile from the ball went all the way down to centenary square. There for | :25:47. | :25:56. | |
big families that one all the stalls. Thereof three generations | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
here, grandmother, daughter`in`law and granddaughter and a return year | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
after year. We share everything, the life here and you feel at home. You | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
do not feel like a stranger. 4 million people visited the market | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
last year. I have come every year for the past four years. It is very | :26:23. | :26:35. | |
expensive. It is a great place. And talking of cold, the ice rink has | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
returned this time after a break of the few years. A chance to let off | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
steam while the market spins off money for the local economy. It will | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
be generating business right up until the 22nd of December. It | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
finishes before Christmas to allow those German stallholders to get | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
back home ready to celebrate Christmas there. For businesses, | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
they have to compete with other cities for visitors so organisers | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
say having a market like this makes Birmingham a destination to visit. | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
Tonight's headlines from the BBC: An inquiry's launched into the scandal | :27:18. | :27:20. | |

Have a great evening. Goodbye. I'm Nigel Slater, a cook. | :27:47. | :28:08. | |
