:00:00. > :01:10.warm for Good evening. The family of a
:01:11. > :01:13.psychiatric patient who took her own life say more must be done to
:01:14. > :01:17.protect young people. 21`year`old Samantha Maritza from Rugeley died
:01:18. > :01:22.after being allowed to walk out of St George's Hospital in Stafford
:01:23. > :01:26.without an escort. She stepped in front of a train. The NHS Trust
:01:27. > :01:29.which runs the hospital has apologised, but Samantha's family
:01:30. > :01:39.fear other young people are being put at risk. Amy Cole reports. That
:01:40. > :01:42.was before she was going to uni, wasn't it?
:01:43. > :01:50.Coping with grief and loss, it's a daily struggle. Something is missing
:01:51. > :02:01.from my life, definitely. I still have a loving family. I am still the
:02:02. > :02:05.same person. Just very, very sad. I am at a loss Sundays. In June 2010,
:02:06. > :02:07.Samantha Maritza was being treated at St George's Hospital in Stafford
:02:08. > :02:10.after suffering from depression. Despite her parent's repeated
:02:11. > :02:15.concerns, the hospital allowed her to leave the site unaccompanied. She
:02:16. > :02:19.died the same night after being hit by a train on the West Coast
:02:20. > :02:22.mainline near Lichfield. The family has now received compensation and
:02:23. > :02:31.more recently, a letter from South Staffordshire and Shropshire NHS
:02:32. > :02:36.Trust. I have read the letter. Do you feel you have had an unreserved
:02:37. > :02:42.apology from the trust? It's not even about the apology. It is about
:02:43. > :02:49.the changes. They are not there. What specifically that you want to
:02:50. > :02:59.see changed? The underscored leave we wanted that looked at. `` an
:03:00. > :03:06.escorted. How can you get ready so quickly for an escorted leave. This
:03:07. > :03:14.is the hospital she was allowed to leave so quickly. The trust says
:03:15. > :03:18.that's unescorted leave is a recognised practice. Investigation
:03:19. > :03:22.has been carried out. The mental health charity Mind says, it
:03:23. > :03:30.believes there needs to be a greater focus on supporting young people. It
:03:31. > :03:32.is really a port to and that we look at having more age`appropriate
:03:33. > :03:37.services so we can support young people to feel less worried about
:03:38. > :03:41.their mental health issue and to understand that they actually can
:03:42. > :03:44.get over their issues. Samantha used to share a room with her younger
:03:45. > :03:51.sister Jamie. They were exceptionally close. It's really
:03:52. > :03:55.hard, every day is really hard, it hasn't any easier. She was my best
:03:56. > :03:59.friend and I miss her. Jamie, Joan and Steve don't want anyone else to
:04:00. > :04:02.suffer like they have and they're in the process of setting up a charity
:04:03. > :04:07.in Samantha's name. You're watching Midlands Today.

:04:28. > :04:31.Hundreds of mourners turned out to pay their respects today to an RAF
:04:32. > :04:33.airman killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. Flight Lieutenant
:04:34. > :04:37.Rakesh Chauhan from Birmingham, was one of five men killed in the crash
:04:38. > :04:40.last month. A service for him was held today in Leicester, where his
:04:41. > :04:44.family now live. Giles Latcham reports.
:04:45. > :04:54.Young and old, hundreds lined the streets, keen to pay their respects
:04:55. > :05:03.to Flt Lieutenant Rakesh Chauhan. Community is always very sad about
:05:04. > :05:08.the news. He died as a hero. At this young age he has sacrificed his life
:05:09. > :05:13.for Great Britain and the community and humanity. I think this is the
:05:14. > :05:20.highest honour we can give him today for his last journey. May he rest in
:05:21. > :05:25.peace. He did fantastic for the country. We should appreciate what
:05:26. > :05:28.he has done. Rakesh died last month in Kandahar province when a Lynx
:05:29. > :05:31.helicopter crashed on a routine flight. Also killed was Lance
:05:32. > :05:34.Corporal Oliver Thomas from Kington. A service of thanksgiving for his
:05:35. > :05:37.life was held in the Herefordshire town on Saturday. At today's service
:05:38. > :05:41.for Fl Lt Chauhan, six friends flanked the hearse and shops shut as
:05:42. > :05:51.a mark of respect ` his family say the funeral with full military
:05:52. > :05:56.honours was what he wanted. We wanted to be here today to show our
:05:57. > :06:04.respect to protest and to show our support to his next of kin. Sadly,
:06:05. > :06:07.he won't be able to realise his career but he will be long
:06:08. > :06:10.remembered as a true hero. Described as charismatic and loyal, with a
:06:11. > :06:13.contagious sense of humour, Flt Lt Chauhan was born in Birmingham and
:06:14. > :06:17.attended King Edwards School in Edgbaston. An investigation into the
:06:18. > :06:27.cause of the crash is still underway.
:06:28. > :06:29.More details have been released about plans to honour the
:06:30. > :06:32.Staffordshire teenage fundraiser, Stephen Sutton, who died from bowel
:06:33. > :06:35.cancer last week. A book of condolence has opened at Lichfield
:06:36. > :06:39.Cathedral ahead of a public vigil next Thursday and Friday, which will
:06:40. > :06:42.be followed by a private funeral. Thousands of people are expected at
:06:43. > :06:45.the Cathedral, to pay their respects. The fund set up by the
:06:46. > :06:55.teenager from Burntwood has so far brought in almost ?4 milliom to help
:06:56. > :07:01.teenagers with cancer. It has been such `` been designed to be a long
:07:02. > :07:06.open occasion. People can come in, sign the book, like a candle and sit
:07:07. > :07:10.still and reflect. It's not a heavy occasion, it is orientated for
:07:11. > :07:13.people to come and participate as they want to.
:07:14. > :07:17.The Benefits Street star known as White Dee ` or Deirdre Kelly ` is
:07:18. > :07:19.threatening legal action against the Department for Work and Pensions. A

:08:43. > :08:48.gather there's news of a heightened police presence around the West
:08:49. > :08:54.Midlands. Yes. West Midlands Police tell us
:08:55. > :08:59.they will be maintaining a bit presence right across this polling
:09:00. > :09:03.day and across the area. Not because of news the civic information but
:09:04. > :09:08.against because a historical background of electoral fraud which
:09:09. > :09:16.make this city Tory a few years back. It caused a judge to liken the
:09:17. > :09:20.city to a banana republic. They will be monitoring the situation closely
:09:21. > :09:25.on the ground and preventing any breaches of electoral law.
:09:26. > :09:28.Just remind us where polling is taking place and who will be
:09:29. > :09:34.elected. The simple answer is everybody in
:09:35. > :09:41.the West Midlands gets a chance to elect the seven NEP 's who will

:11:52. > :11:53.All this week our science correspondent, David Gregory`Kumar,
:11:54. > :11:56.has been in Switzerland looking at our region's contribution to the
:11:57. > :11:59.CERN project. The giant underground lab has brought discoveries such as
:12:00. > :12:04.the existence of the Higgs boson particle ` the glue that holds
:12:05. > :12:07.everything in the universe together. For his final report, he took a
:12:08. > :12:12.journey around the huge laboratory, looking at the benefits the work
:12:13. > :12:17.there could bring to all of us. CERN is so big. There are fleets of
:12:18. > :12:21.CERN bicycles and even tiny cars to get around between experiments. So,
:12:22. > :12:26.let's take a tour and meet more Midlands scientists. This is the
:12:27. > :12:29.ALICE experiment. Like all of CERN, she's getting an upgrade right now
:12:30. > :12:36.so her doors are open. There's more iron in those red bits than in the
:12:37. > :12:39.Eiffel Tower. She is 10,000 tonnes. Her day job is to recreate and then
:12:40. > :12:43.study conditions that existed moments after the big bang. But
:12:44. > :12:51.doing that brings benefits to the world outside. To do cutting edge
:12:52. > :12:58.research we have to generate cutting edge technology. At CERN the pushing
:12:59. > :13:03.the cutting edge all the time. The technology in `` technology we are
:13:04. > :13:06.using just not exist a couple of years ago. Some of it does not exist
:13:07. > :13:09.yet, we are still working on it. Cutting edge... Pushing technology
:13:10. > :13:12.to its limits is vital to this research. But the scientists know
:13:13. > :13:16.the same technology can also have a huge impact in the world outside the
:13:17. > :13:19.lab. Let's travel to another experiment, LHCb. They want to
:13:20. > :13:22.understand where all the anti matter in our universe disappeared to, but
:13:23. > :13:29.the rescuers also work on uses of this technology outside CERN. ``
:13:30. > :13:39.researchers We have a huge opportunity. Use the RND we are
:13:40. > :13:42.developing and use it with colleagues in other areas. In
:13:43. > :13:45.practice, that means parts developed for this experiment are also used
:13:46. > :13:50.inside high tech cancer treatments in the UK. Finally, were back with
:13:51. > :13:55.Atlas, where they made and measured the Higgs boson. It's what they set
:13:56. > :13:58.out to do. But the young researchers working here see so much more still
:13:59. > :14:07.to investigate. And that means more spin off technology for the rest of
:14:08. > :14:10.us. If you worked in the business world you could have all of the
:14:11. > :14:15.results for the last year and say we did that well. But you would not
:14:16. > :14:21.just up there. You would say, what can we do with these results? How
:14:22. > :14:25.can we make it better in the future? The biggest spin off was the
:14:26. > :14:37.adventure `` invention of the World Wide Web. Who knows what they will
:14:38. > :14:40.do next? Former Hereford United manager
:14:41. > :14:44.Martin Foyle has issued a winding up order against the club. His petition
:14:45. > :14:47.to wind up the club will be heard by the High Court in London on June
:14:48. > :14:50.2nd.Our sports reporter, Dan Pallett, is here. Dan this adds
:14:51. > :14:57.further pressure on the club's owners as they seek new investment.
:14:58. > :15:04.The problems mount, don't they? Yes, it is one problem after the other
:15:05. > :15:07.now. He left the club in March. Hereford United have big financial
:15:08. > :15:16.problems. They have been struggling to pay all wages. Martin Foyle has
:15:17. > :15:20.decided the best way to pay back the money is to turn to the courts. If
:15:21. > :15:26.he is successful, Hereford United will be put into administration.
:15:27. > :15:34.They could leave is little points `` lose league points. Hereford said
:15:35. > :15:39.today, they knew this was coming and they are confident they can deal
:15:40. > :15:46.with it. So new investment or a takeover? What is the latest? We
:15:47. > :15:51.have been waiting for news for two days. The clock is ticking. Hereford
:15:52. > :15:57.survived last season and they hope to play in the Conference on June
:15:58. > :16:04.six. All teams have the show they have enough money to survive the
:16:05. > :16:11.season. Hereford may not have. They have had fundraising. The fans got
:16:12. > :16:19.together and raised ?30,000. They still own `` oh over ?300,000. It's
:16:20. > :16:24.quite simple. If there is not a takeover or an investment, it is
:16:25. > :16:31.bleak. Any idea when we might have an answer? No. These things are very
:16:32. > :16:37.conjugated. One tiny change in a contract must go through all the
:16:38. > :16:41.solicitors. They know the clock is ticking. At the moment we just don't
:16:42. > :16:50.know when there will be a resolution to this. Well, tell us as soon as
:16:51. > :16:54.you do here. Traders in a Shropshire town say,
:16:55. > :16:56.they've been losing business for two months because of appalling mobile
:16:57. > :16:59.phone coverage. Signals are intermittent or nonexistent and now
:17:00. > :17:10.frustration is boiling over. Joanne Writtle's been investigating.
:17:11. > :17:15.Hello? I am struggling like mad to get through to anyone. People are
:17:16. > :17:20.struggling to get through to me. My business card has my mobile, it's
:17:21. > :17:23.personal and people like to get in touch with me any time.
:17:24. > :17:27.For the last two months, people have wandered around Broseley, trying to
:17:28. > :17:31.find a spot to get a phone signal. More specifically, those who use the
:17:32. > :17:39.EE network, which also covers T Mobile and Orange. Very frustrating.
:17:40. > :17:43.I would have more sense to into an orange than to a network. Barmaid
:17:44. > :17:52.Helen Vickers collected 350 names on a petition and sent a copy to EE. I
:17:53. > :17:58.decided I would go around to the local hairdressers and other shops
:17:59. > :18:01.and leave these petitions. As I was going around, they were all telling
:18:02. > :18:04.me the stories. EE told us there was a problem with a mast, adding:
:18:05. > :18:07."We're very sorry for any inconvenience caused while we fix
:18:08. > :18:10.this issue. We're working on resolving it as a matter of
:18:11. > :18:13.urgency". It was mainly yuppies who had the first mobiles back in the
:18:14. > :18:21.eighties. But they were cumbersome and could be unreliable."Thankfully
:18:22. > :18:27.phones... Internet access too." Thanks Billy are more slimline now.
:18:28. > :18:32.There are more than 80 million mobiles in use in the UK, more than
:18:33. > :18:34.one each for many people. Just over half of us use our mobiles for
:18:35. > :18:40.Internet access to. Unsurprising then that in Broseley, business
:18:41. > :18:45.people are fed up. We are out and about all the time doing valuations
:18:46. > :18:48.and viewings. Customers get used to speaking to us on our mobiles. You
:18:49. > :18:52.are in a middle of a conversation, about an offer, an important
:18:53. > :19:01.conversation and the signal drops out. For now, the only reliable
:19:02. > :19:05.method here is the landline. A pub in Birmingham, which was made
:19:06. > :19:08.famous by the BBC drama Peaky Blinders, sold at auction today for
:19:09. > :19:11.?20,000 more than the guide price. The Garrison was a regular meeting
:19:12. > :19:15.place for the Brummie gangsters in the award winning drama. Holly Lewis
:19:16. > :19:20.has been looking at the impact the series has had on the city.
:19:21. > :19:23.It was here at the Garrison Pub in Smallheath that writer Stephen
:19:24. > :19:26.Knight first heard tales of the Peaky Blinders from his father.
:19:27. > :19:30.Years later, he turned those stories into the acclaimed BBC drama about
:19:31. > :19:42.the gangs who ruled the streets of Birmingham 100 years ago and at the
:19:43. > :19:48.heart of it was the Garrison. Although no filming was done here,
:19:49. > :19:55.one of the actors did visit. This was part of the actor's education in
:19:56. > :20:00.Birmingham culture and accident. The only difference is that sometimes I
:20:01. > :20:04.ought to stand a chance of winning. But the whole idea of the Peaky
:20:05. > :20:07.Blinders has become much bigger than just the programme, Birmingham City
:20:08. > :20:10.fans dressed up like the gangs at the end of the season. The show's
:20:11. > :20:17.historical adviser says, he's not surprised it's catching people's
:20:18. > :20:24.imagination. It is our version of the wild West. The fact that America
:20:25. > :20:27.could turn the real Wild West into something larger than life with its
:20:28. > :20:30.cowboys, why can't Birmingham do the same thing? A group of Digberth
:20:31. > :20:33.residents started running tours of the area associated with the gangs
:20:34. > :20:37.as a result of the drama, there's now 400 people on the writing list
:20:38. > :20:44.and the tour's organiser has joined up with a local publisher to produce
:20:45. > :20:49.a new book. We are starting it was again in September and we are doing
:20:50. > :20:53.a collection of stories. People have passed the stories around in
:20:54. > :20:57.families. That started a history project in the town as well. And
:20:58. > :21:00.other local businesses are hoping to convert the enthusiasm into profit.
:21:01. > :21:03.The Sadlers Ales in Stourbridge started producing a Peaky Blinder
:21:04. > :21:11.beer in March and sold 25,000 pints in the first three weeks. In my
:21:12. > :21:18.mind, it is something that is very regional and appreciated nationally.
:21:19. > :21:22.It is of the moment. There is a great cast within the programme. For
:21:23. > :21:25.us it works perfectly within the brand. The Garrison sold for
:21:26. > :21:28.?183,000, the new owners wouldn't say if it would remain a pub or
:21:29. > :21:40.whether Peaky Blinder might ever be served behind the bar. If you are a
:21:41. > :21:43.fan of the first series, you would like to know that there is a second
:21:44. > :21:48.one being filmed. It will be shown this autumn, may be time for them to
:21:49. > :21:52.perfect the Brummie accent. It's a short season, so lovers of
:21:53. > :21:56.asparagus are keen to make the most of it. Such is its popularity of the
:21:57. > :21:59.vegetable that the harvest has become a major tourist attraction in
:22:00. > :22:02.Worecestershire. There's even an asparagus music festival! And as Ben
:22:03. > :22:07.Sidwell's been finding out there's plenty you can do with this
