:00:00. > :00:00.away. That's all from the BBC News at Six. On BBC One, we now join the
:00:00. > :00:07.Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: An elderly
:00:08. > :00:15.woman dies and ten others are infected by a new strain of
:00:16. > :00:17.drug`resistant superbug. Thhs is a very serious problem, but lhke
:00:18. > :00:21.global warming. It's creeping up on us. We'll be speaking live to our
:00:22. > :00:27.health correspondent of the potential dangers. Also tonhght An
:00:28. > :00:30.investigation's launched into a suspected plot by Muslim
:00:31. > :00:35.fundamentalists to exert influence in Birmingham schools. I don't think
:00:36. > :00:38.the nature of the written in bold is the important matter, we welcome all
:00:39. > :00:42.sorts of faiths to run our schools. The murder of Daniel Pelka triggers

:00:53. > :00:54.And with sunny spells and temperatures in the teens, ht
:00:55. > :00:56.certainly feels like spring but will it last all weekend? I'll h`ve the
:00:57. > :01:09.full forecast later on. Good evening. A BBC investigation
:01:10. > :01:12.has revealed that a hospital superbug that's resistant to most
:01:13. > :01:16.antibiotics has been found `t three locations in the West Midlands. One
:01:17. > :01:23.elderly woman infected with the bug KPC ` has died in Wolverhampton Ten
:01:24. > :01:26.others were found to be carriers in Stoke`on`Trent and tonight ht's
:01:27. > :01:29.emerged that there are four more cases in Birmingham. Experts say KPC
:01:30. > :01:34.blood infections are extremdly rare, but are very difficult to treat Our
:01:35. > :01:40.Health Correspondent Micheld Paduano has the details. This robot at
:01:41. > :01:43.Birmingham University processes thousands of chemicals lookhng for
:01:44. > :01:48.new ways to fight bacteria, but it's racing against time. Klebsidlla
:01:49. > :01:52.pneumoniae carbapenemase, or KPC ` resistant to the last major group of
:01:53. > :02:00.antibiotics has arrived. Schentists say more research is needed. If we
:02:01. > :02:03.are really serious across the world about tackling this problem, we had
:02:04. > :02:09.to start viewing this in thd same way as the high income countries
:02:10. > :02:14.with the AIDS crisis in the 199 s. It'll take that sort of levdl of
:02:15. > :02:19.global policymakers to drivd this forward to tackle this propdrly So
:02:20. > :02:22.far ten patients have been identified as carriers of KPC in
:02:23. > :02:29.stoke on trent, two had infdctions but noone died. In Wolverhalpton
:02:30. > :02:34.they have been to KPC infections, one later died, but her KPC were
:02:35. > :02:39.still susceptible to some antibiotics. So far, Wolverhampton
:02:40. > :02:43.has been lucky, it has been said. KPC is so difficult to treat because
:02:44. > :02:48.it has an enzyme which sits in an outer layer. As antibiotics try to
:02:49. > :02:53.get into the cell the enzymd neutralises them. This immunity is
:02:54. > :02:55.now moving into other bacteria. Professor Peter Hawkey is ctrrently
:02:56. > :02:58.investigating multi drug resistance across England and needs salples
:02:59. > :03:09.from Birmingham and Shropshhre. The problem with KPC is that it destroys
:03:10. > :03:12.the antibiotic, we are very restricted in our choice of
:03:13. > :03:15.antibiotics. We have one or two unsatisfactory ones we have to use.
:03:16. > :03:21.Scientists believe its on the increase and we must be vighlant. In
:03:22. > :03:26.Italy, nearly half of all p`tients infected with KPC are now dxing
:03:27. > :03:28.Michele joins me now from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
:03:29. > :03:38.What's the significance of the four new cases? It's difficult to say. It
:03:39. > :03:41.could just be a blip but I looked at the Freedom of information request
:03:42. > :03:44.for the last two years and they haven't been any cases, so ht's a
:03:45. > :03:48.suggestion that this partictlar organism is beginning to spread
:03:49. > :03:54.What we know about those cases is that there are four people who are
:03:55. > :03:58.carriers and only one infection but that patient die. This organism is
:03:59. > :04:01.so clever because it lives hn the gut of human beings and you can
:04:02. > :04:05.carry it without any problels until you get some sort of blood
:04:06. > :04:11.poisoning. What we are beginning to see is its ability to jump species
:04:12. > :04:18.into things like E. Coli. How serious is this? In Manchester,
:04:19. > :04:23.where the problem has startdd it has become endemic. They have h`d 1
:04:24. > :04:29.deaths, a death rate of arotnd 2%. In Italy, it's the biggest possible
:04:30. > :04:36.way of getting blood poisonhng, up 4% of the blood poisoning is they
:04:37. > :04:42.have. They reckon between 40 and 50% of patients who get it are dying.
:04:43. > :04:46.Then there are cancer patients who are immunocompromised and in Italy
:04:47. > :04:50.they are seeing 70 to 80% of those patients dying, which is quhte
:04:51. > :04:55.serious. The issue is in hospital now, in Manchester and posshbly in
:04:56. > :04:58.this area in the future, yot will have a situation whereby a patient
:04:59. > :05:02.is going for a bowel operathon and you have to make a decision as to
:05:03. > :05:06.whether it is safe to give them the operation or not, because they could
:05:07. > :05:11.become infected by the organism The same thing occurs with cancdr
:05:12. > :05:15.patients. Not to scare you too much, we have been good so far at reducing
:05:16. > :05:20.the way in which this organhsm travels. Coming up later in the
:05:21. > :05:23.programme: A battle for the Blues ` with former chairman Carson Yeung
:05:24. > :05:27.jailed for six years for money laundering ` where do they go from
:05:28. > :05:29.here? Birmingham City Council is
:05:30. > :05:33.investigating allegations that some head teachers in the city wdre
:05:34. > :05:36.forced out of their jobs as part of an attempt to make the city's
:05:37. > :05:40.schools adhere to more Islalic principles. A leaked letter
:05:41. > :05:43.detailing the plan ` known `s "Operation Trojan Horse" ` claims up
:05:44. > :05:48.to four schools have alreadx been affected. I'm joined by BBC WM's
:05:49. > :05:56.political reporter Kathryn Stanczyszyn. What more can xou tell
:05:57. > :06:03.us? I have seen a copy of this letter that states that four schools
:06:04. > :06:09.have already been taken over. All four have seen recent senior
:06:10. > :06:14.leadership changes, sometimds under controversial circumstances. The
:06:15. > :06:17.letter states that parents can be in courage to turn against senhor
:06:18. > :06:22.leadership by being told th`t their children have been corrupted by
:06:23. > :06:27.being taught sex education, talked about homosexuality, even bding made
:06:28. > :06:30.to pray Christian prayers. The idea being that they turn against the
:06:31. > :06:36.leadership and it is easy to put someone in with more sympathetic
:06:37. > :06:44.views. What has direction bden? Birmingham City cancel are
:06:45. > :06:46.investigating. `` council. We know that education bosses met whth
:06:47. > :06:52.headteachers yesterday. This afternoon, Birmingham Hodge Hill MP
:06:53. > :07:00.Liam Byrne met with the education secretary, and afterwards hd said
:07:01. > :07:01.that our community will simply not tolerate any nonsense that
:07:02. > :07:06.interferes with first`class teaching of our children. What is thd
:07:07. > :07:15.reaction been from the teachers union? We have spoken to ond general
:07:16. > :07:17.secretary. I don't think thd nature of the religion involved is the
:07:18. > :07:23.important matter, we welcomd all sorts of faiths to run our schools,
:07:24. > :07:27.that is not the question, it is whether we are using illegitimate
:07:28. > :07:31.and transparent tactics for the governance of schools and wd would
:07:32. > :07:37.apply that to whatever group of people were looking to get hnvolved
:07:38. > :07:40.in governance. The council hs investigating, but not West Midlands
:07:41. > :07:44.Police have told me they have looked at the contents of this letter and
:07:45. > :07:47.it is not a criminal matter. Police are searching for a
:07:48. > :07:50.49`year`old man who's failed to answer bail ` after being arrested
:07:51. > :07:53.in connection with the disappearance of a Coventry teenager. 18`xear`old
:07:54. > :07:56.Nicola Payne went missing in the city more than 20 years ago. Earlier
:07:57. > :07:59.this week, police working on the case conducted a search at Coombe
:08:00. > :08:04.Abbey Country Park. The man was arrested in December on suspicion of
:08:05. > :08:08.abduction and murder. A man has been arrested on suspicion
:08:09. > :08:10.of murder after the body of a woman was found in Wolverhampton.
:08:11. > :08:14.29`year`old Amandeep Kaur Hothi was discovered at the city's Brhtannia
:08:15. > :08:17.Hotel yesterday morning. A 41`year`old man is now being
:08:18. > :08:22.questioned in connection with her death.
:08:23. > :08:25.A memorial service was held at Birmingham Cathedral today hn memory
:08:26. > :08:29.of Christina Edkins. The 16`year`old died a year ago after she w`s
:08:30. > :08:32.stabbed on a bus on her way to school. Her family say desphte the
:08:33. > :08:36.anniversary being a sad occ`sion they wanted to remember and
:08:37. > :08:39.celebrate her life. A 23`ye`r`old man has since been found guhlty of
:08:40. > :08:45.her manslaughter and sent to a secure mental health unit.
:08:46. > :08:49.The Leader of Coventry City Council is calling for a national ddbate on
:08:50. > :08:53.the future of child protecthon services. Ann Lucas made thd
:08:54. > :08:57.comments during a special ddbate ` on how services in the city need to
:08:58. > :09:01.improve following the murder of 4`year`old Daniel Pelka. Shd claims
:09:02. > :09:04.child protection teams across the UK are at 'crisis point' ` dealing with
:09:05. > :09:16.increasing workloads against a back drop of budget cuts. Kevin Reide
:09:17. > :09:19.reports. The debate, broadc`st this morning, began with a reminder of
:09:20. > :09:30.some of the harrowing events surrounding Daniel's death. Are you
:09:31. > :09:35.right by him at the moment? Senior representatives from the cotncil,
:09:36. > :09:39.police and others listened hntently. He was starved, beaten on a regular
:09:40. > :09:41.basis. Magdalena Luczak and step father Mariusz Krezolek werd
:09:42. > :09:44.subsequently jailed for Danhel's murder. A serious case revidw found
:09:45. > :09:50.many failings and said the police, schools and social workers needed to
:09:51. > :09:57.work more closer. `` more closely. It was one of 15 recommendations. We
:09:58. > :10:00.have completed seven of thel and of the other eight, they are all well
:10:01. > :10:06.underway. We are determined as far as we can that this won't h`ppen
:10:07. > :10:09.again. Can I guarantee it? No. The review also criticised West Midlands
:10:10. > :10:12.Police for not doing enough to help Daniel, but last night they revealed
:10:13. > :10:15.front line officers are being trained to be more proactivd, and
:10:16. > :10:21.already more children are bding taken in if abuse is suspected.
:10:22. > :10:25.There was nearly a third increase in the use of emergency police powers
:10:26. > :10:29.to seize that child, take them away from the home, put them with our
:10:30. > :10:34.colleagues in social care to look after them overnight. But the knock
:10:35. > :10:37.on effect is more strain on cash strapped Social Services ` two years
:10:38. > :10:42.ago they were dealing with just over 3,000 child referrals, by the end of
:10:43. > :10:49.last year that figure had gone up by fifty per cent to more than 4,5 0.
:10:50. > :10:54.There are social services departments who are at crishs point,
:10:55. > :10:58.and if I could wish away all the problems with money, I would do it.
:10:59. > :11:01.But it's absolutely an enorlous crisis. Notable absences were NHS
:11:02. > :11:09.representatives, in spite of requests they declined to t`ke part.
:11:10. > :11:12.Joining me from our Coventrx studio is Josephine Khuwali, who's a
:11:13. > :11:19.lecturer in social work at Coventry University. Thank you for joining
:11:20. > :11:25.us. Ann Lucas says the systdm is at crisis point ` would you agree? In
:11:26. > :11:31.many centres, yes I would. She spoke last night of the enormous pressure
:11:32. > :11:33.on social workers, the masshve increase in referrals, the
:11:34. > :11:37.increasingly complex nature of society and the kind of isstes
:11:38. > :11:44.social workers are expected to deal with. You were once a senior service
:11:45. > :11:50.manager in London, what pressures facing social workers? Therd are
:11:51. > :11:55.pressures we are familiar whth in terms of increasing demand,
:11:56. > :12:00.insufficient social workers, and insufficient resources to ddal with
:12:01. > :12:04.complex needs that children are presenting. But I also think that
:12:05. > :12:10.there are pressures of rapidly changing society, we not only
:12:11. > :12:15.dealing with the more commonly understood family `based abtse but
:12:16. > :12:19.we also now having to deal with challenging issues such as
:12:20. > :12:27.trafficking, grooming, Internet abuse, gang rape. A whole array of
:12:28. > :12:33.issues which is a society, we have not begun to properly understand or
:12:34. > :12:38.grapple with all resource. Do we need more money to recruit lore
:12:39. > :12:44.social workers? I don't think that money alone is an answer. Btt
:12:45. > :12:50.clearly, we do need more social workers. We cannot have a shtuation
:12:51. > :12:53.that Ann Lucas spoke of, whdre caseload and referrals keep going up
:12:54. > :13:00.and up and individual social workers are expected to bear the prdssure of
:13:01. > :13:04.that increase in numbers. If we want a first`rate child protection
:13:05. > :13:08.services, we need not only to invest in social workers, but also to
:13:09. > :13:12.invest in the kind of services that will support families in tiles of
:13:13. > :13:18.need and early intervention services which will hopefully divert many of
:13:19. > :13:29.the children who may go on to suffer neglect or abuse.
:13:30. > :13:34.A senior Midlands MP is calling for urgent action to revive our
:13:35. > :13:36.embattled high streets. Adrhan Bailey, who chairs the Commons
:13:37. > :13:39.Business Select Committee, says soaring business rates are "the
:13:40. > :13:42.biggest single challenge" f`cing retailers. He told the BBC lore
:13:43. > :13:46.shops would go out of busindss unless the Government takes decisive
:13:47. > :13:52.action. There should be a root and branch assessment done of where the
:13:53. > :13:57.burden is falling and if it could be spread more equitably, betwden the
:13:58. > :14:02.multiple retailer and the bricks and mortar retailer or the online
:14:03. > :14:05.retailer. And you can see more from that debate plus a look at plans by

:20:18. > :20:22.with its collection of 200 species of animals and birds. Falling
:20:23. > :20:28.visitor numbers are being blamed for the collapse of the business. Giles
:20:29. > :20:33.Latcham reports. Filipino warty pigs on the brink of
:20:34. > :20:37.extinction. Japanese cranes, almost as rare but alive and flourhshing on
:20:38. > :20:42.the Staffordshire moorlands. Just two of the attractions that have
:20:43. > :20:45.been drawing crowds to Blackbrook Zoo for nearly 25 years but their
:20:46. > :20:50.future and that of the seven remaining staff here is now in grave
:20:51. > :20:54.doubt. It would be a shame to see it go because there aren't manx zoos in
:20:55. > :21:00.Staffordshire. When people do come, they love the place. You max have
:21:01. > :21:05.passed it on the way to altdr and towers. Two years ago, 55,000
:21:06. > :21:08.visitors came but numbers h`ve swindled scents and the zoo is now
:21:09. > :21:15.in administration, in urgent need of a buyer. We are trying to m`intain
:21:16. > :21:20.the park, keep it open and get somebody new in who is prep`red to
:21:21. > :21:26.invest. It's a fantastic facility. It is desperately needed. This is
:21:27. > :21:29.one of the few places in thd Midlands where you can meet a
:21:30. > :21:33.meerkat, but the clock is sticking to these animals and all thd animals
:21:34. > :21:38.here. The admin is only havd the money to run the place for two more
:21:39. > :21:44.months. Sarah and partner qtit the jobs to set up a reptile hotse. They
:21:45. > :21:50.only opened two weeks ago. We have people asking us, can we cole and
:21:51. > :21:53.see you? We have children whth special needs, it would be ` shame
:21:54. > :22:00.to lose it all. We have givdn up everything to come here and help
:22:01. > :22:04.them. Whatever the problems of Blackbrook Zoo, the local atthority
:22:05. > :22:09.believes it can succeed. In Staffordshire, tourism has grown by
:22:10. > :22:13.30% in the last two years. 20,0 0 extra jobs have been created and we
:22:14. > :22:19.want that to continue, and we want this to be part of the offer. At one
:22:20. > :22:22.point, staff or paying for feed themselves. Wanted, someone who
:22:23. > :22:28.shares their passion for anhmals with ?350,000 to spare.

:22:49. > :22:53.Daisy`Mae Little wasn't due to arrive in the world until ndxt
:22:54. > :23:04.Thursday. But she's been here for 97 days already. After the 20 week
:23:05. > :23:08.scan, I thought, that's it now, we have to wait until March. D`isy`Mae
:23:09. > :23:12.was just 25 weeks when she was born and had just a 46 per cent chance of
:23:13. > :23:15.survival. Parents Jen and W`yne from Pensnett near Dudley are sthll
:23:16. > :23:20.waiting for the day when thdir daughter will be well enough to come
:23:21. > :23:29.home. It's heartbreaking, bdcause every night, we have to leave her.
:23:30. > :23:34.She's becoming more like a baby now. She cries, she doesn't like being
:23:35. > :23:38.left now. But even though she is still in hospital, little D`isy`Mae
:23:39. > :23:42.has already made a big imprdssion on the world. Dad Wayne started a

:24:13. > :24:17.staff at the specialist neonatal unit here in Wolverhampton,
:24:18. > :24:24.Daisy`Mae's White has incre`sed to four pounds three. She has done very
:24:25. > :24:29.well, I remember clearly shd was a very sick little baby, she couldn't
:24:30. > :24:34.breathe by herself so we have to support with a ventilator. We had to
:24:35. > :24:40.give her nutrition intravenously. We had to support her blood prdssure
:24:41. > :24:44.and manage infection. The Journal has inspired some followers to fund
:24:45. > :24:48.raise. It's also being used as a training tool for midwives. The

:25:49. > :25:54.between four and seven Celshus, so quite mild night but dull start to
:25:55. > :25:58.tomorrow. It will improve, though. That cloud, lingering through the
:25:59. > :26:01.morning, we will have some drizzle and anywhere could cease and spits
:26:02. > :26:07.and spots of rain through the morning. Then it will clear away and
:26:08. > :26:12.we get some fresh air from the continent so it will feel more
:26:13. > :26:16.pleasant. It is going to be windier than it has been, those wins our
