:01:16. > :01:18.a hoax phone call in the early hours of the morning telling her that her
:01:19. > :01:21.child was dead. Bindi rushed from her home
:01:22. > :01:23.in Bedworth to the George Elliot Hospital in Ntneaton
:01:24. > :01:26.with her husband, Warwickshire Police have confirmed
:01:27. > :01:31.they're now investigating shx At two o'clock on Saturday lorning,
:01:32. > :01:42.Bindi received a call with news It was a man's voice
:01:43. > :01:50.and he just said, this is Gdorge Eliot Hospital, your child has died
:01:51. > :01:54.and you need to come to George Eliot The family rushed to the
:01:55. > :02:03.George Eliot Hospital in Nuneaton Their son, Indy, 27, was supposed
:02:04. > :02:10.to be on a night out with friends. To compound their fears, Indy
:02:11. > :02:16.wasn't answering his mobile phone. My youngest was saying, "Mul, dad,
:02:17. > :02:21.please don't. When they reached Accident
:02:22. > :02:28.Emergency and spoke to nursds, it soon became clear it had been
:02:29. > :02:32.a cruel hoax. This person is sick
:02:33. > :02:34.and I cannot understand what joy We understand five more hoax calls
:02:35. > :03:16.were made families in the Ntneaton And what was the moment likd
:03:17. > :03:19.when your son finally arrivdd home? I went running out and
:03:20. > :03:23.before he even got out of the car, He was just so relieved to be home
:03:24. > :03:31.and I was so relieved to sed him. What they put us through
:03:32. > :03:38.was sheer hell. In a statement,
:03:39. > :03:39.George Eliot Hospital said the hoax caller has caused distress
:03:40. > :03:44.for both relatives and staff. They say they would never normally
:03:45. > :03:47.call someone to inform them about a serious injury,
:03:48. > :03:50.and the correct procedure would It is such a cruel trick, Bdn, what
:03:51. > :04:02.are the police saying at thhs stage? Warwickshire Police says
:04:03. > :04:12.when there are tragic deaths, it's normal practice for a policd officer
:04:13. > :04:32.to try to deliver the distrdssing I was told today about another one
:04:33. > :04:34.or these victims. Another woman with a middle`aged child who got this
:04:35. > :04:37.distressing news in the early hours of the morning when she herself was
:04:38. > :04:43.already suffering from a falily bereavement. Tracing these calls it
:04:44. > :04:49.could be difficult for the police if they have used a mobile phone or a
:04:50. > :04:52.contracted mobile phone. If they are caught, a malicious call is
:04:53. > :05:16.punishable by up to six months in prison.
:05:17. > :05:19.but they couldn't work out where he'd come from.
:05:20. > :05:22.He was reunited with his parents earlier today after
:05:23. > :05:29.Wandering the pavements at nearly ten o'clock last night,
:05:30. > :05:34.At one point, the three`year`old walked out into the middle
:05:35. > :05:44.A woman who's lived here 25 years spotted him, tearful and upset,
:05:45. > :05:55.I took him in my arms and I can t him down. I wiped his tears and
:05:56. > :05:59.everything was OK. I tidied him up and said come on let us look for
:06:00. > :06:00.your mum and dad. He couldn't show her where he lived,
:06:01. > :06:06.or even tell her his name. Bye`macro the police say shortly
:06:07. > :06:57.after Before its closure in Febru`ry 013,
:06:58. > :07:02.there'd been a jail The selling agents won't sax who
:07:03. > :07:07.the buyers are or how much they re Birmingham's been shortlistdd
:07:08. > :08:52.as a possible location for the price to consumers. We want to move
:08:53. > :08:59.very quickly on this and sed we can get stability back into the market.
:09:00. > :09:03.So how bad is it? It is so bad that some farmers are following the
:09:04. > :09:06.example of dairy farmers and going for direct action, blockading
:09:07. > :09:11.processing plant and abattohrs. We have been sent photos from `
:09:12. > :09:17.blockade of the ABB plant in Shrewsbury. Late Nite, 60 protesters
:09:18. > :09:22.stopped traffic going in and out of the plans. So why farmers stddenly
:09:23. > :09:26.getting less for their beef? Here, there are plenty of theories. There
:09:27. > :09:35.is too much imported stuff for a start. People do not always believe
:09:36. > :09:39.they have to pay good money for quality stock, so they are `lways
:09:40. > :09:44.try to get cheaper meat rather than actually thinking that thesd guys
:09:45. > :09:49.are worth a bit of money. The real prize for Midland's beef farmers is
:09:50. > :09:55.a good return on their efforts. At the moment, they say they are
:09:56. > :09:58.falling well short of that. Behind me is the animal that won the trophy
:09:59. > :10:04.last year and with me if thd farmer who owns it. Paul is a beef farm
:10:05. > :10:07.upon Gloucestershire. What hs going wrong? Green mark what has happened
:10:08. > :10:10.since the beginning of the xear is we have had a 20% drop in bdef price
:10:11. > :10:17.which is pretty dramatic for any business that sells anything. We
:10:18. > :10:23.have gone from being vaguelx profitable to really in a state of
:10:24. > :10:30.stalemate. Wobble turn this around? We have to work with the people who
:10:31. > :10:36.sell our beef. Hopefully thhs wonderful weather will get burgers
:10:37. > :10:40.and barbecues going. We also work with the retailers and get lore of
:10:41. > :10:45.our beef on the shelves. Th`nk you. Clive, you are an auctioneer. You
:10:46. > :10:50.are selling these animals. What is the mood like? It is though
:10:51. > :10:56.depressed at the moment. Thdy are taking less for their animals as far
:10:57. > :11:01.as the beef prices are concdrned. It is leaving them very lacklustre
:11:02. > :11:06.What are their options? That they have to sell them now? They can hold
:11:07. > :11:10.onto them for a limited perhod but obviously there is a 11 me there. If
:11:11. > :11:13.they keep them for two longdr to feed and which is expensive and if
:11:14. > :11:17.they go through another fat class they are penalised on the fhnal
:11:18. > :11:24.price anyway. So a week or ` feud days is an option, but is not. When
:11:25. > :11:31.they fit they had to go. Brhefly, what are the options for farmers in
:11:32. > :11:36.terms of consumers. Could they do more? Consumers are loyal to our
:11:37. > :11:43.brand. They love British bedf and seem to do a very nice job. Anything
:11:44. > :11:46.they can do to help these greats. The hot weather this weekend, if we
:11:47. > :11:51.get some, more barbecues cotld make a difference.
:11:52. > :11:54.Two Labour Muslim MPs from Birmingham have clashed over
:11:55. > :11:57.the Trojan Horse affair. Khalil Mahmood and Shabana Lahmood
:11:58. > :12:01.have contrasting views on the allegations of an Islamic extremist
:12:02. > :12:03.plot to target inner`city schools. They were talking to
:12:04. > :12:04.our political editor Patrick Burns. So Patrick,
:12:05. > :12:17.what exactly are they saying? Khalid Mahmud thinks these
:12:18. > :12:22.investigations are justified by what he sees as a plot by believdrs in an
:12:23. > :12:28.ultraconservative version of Islam who he accuses of driving a wedge
:12:29. > :12:32.between the schools in question and the surrounding communities they
:12:33. > :12:37.serve in order, he believes, to indoctrinate children. Thesd
:12:38. > :12:43.children have been groomed `way from the school fete their parents had.
:12:44. > :12:47.So this is why it is diffictlt to broad base this issue in thd
:12:48. > :12:53.schools. What they were doing, and the way they appointed people into
:12:54. > :12:58.the governing body, means there was a big group of people doing it.
:12:59. > :13:00.what exactly are they saying? And we have seen how the Hands
:13:01. > :13:02.off Birmingham's Schools calpaign rejected that approach.
:13:03. > :13:07.Is that basically the line Shabana Mahmooud is taking?
:13:08. > :13:12.she rejects what she sees as the national media narrative and the
:13:13. > :13:15.Government's response to thhs. She accepts that there are diffhculties
:13:16. > :13:21.with the governance in cert`in schools, but things the isste is out
:13:22. > :13:25.of proportion. There is a sdparate issue about what appears to be a
:13:26. > :13:30.group of individuals who from what I can tell, appear to have run a mock
:13:31. > :13:35.and who have done things in terms of the allegations about bullyhng and
:13:36. > :13:44.discrimination, which are Compleat Lee unacceptable. And that hs what
:13:45. > :13:51.we need to fix. What is to be done then? There are two arguments. One
:13:52. > :13:55.is that in a city of a quarter of a million Muslims there should be more
:13:56. > :13:56.Islamic faith schools and others are floating the idea broader, looser of
:13:57. > :14:04.schools. Shabana Mahmooud is taking?
:14:05. > :14:06.And Patrick will be back with more on this, plus the Government's
:14:07. > :14:08.decision to extend the London Midland's rail franchise in
:14:09. > :14:17.the Sunday Politics at 11 o'clock on Sunday morning here on BBC One.

:16:00. > :16:03.right here on the Stephen Sttton Stage. Stephen was guest of honour

:25:24. > :25:30.I'm sorry Nick, the sunshind is on hold. But it does not mean we will
:25:31. > :25:35.be in for bad weather, but ht is going to be a little colder. That is
:25:36. > :25:39.because we have plenty of cloud cover, but there will be brdaks in
:25:40. > :25:45.that and we will have sunshhne and mainly dry weather. There whll be a
:25:46. > :25:51.few showers, however. Today has been lovely. Temperatures made it up to
:25:52. > :25:56.24 Celsius. So it has felt very pleasant out there. We started the
:25:57. > :26:00.day with clear skies, but wd have seen cloud syncing southwards at we
:26:01. > :26:04.have headed through the day. That continues to fill in as we head to
:26:05. > :26:07.the next few hours. We also have some rather lively showers which
:26:08. > :26:10.will work their way through. We can not rule out the odd rumble of
:26:11. > :26:14.thunder, but most of this activity will happen over night to nhght It
:26:15. > :26:19.is going to be a mild night as well, with temperatures not falling far.
:26:20. > :26:24.We are looking at Lowes of between 13 and 15 Celsius, so it is feeling
:26:25. > :26:28.rather muddied tonight. We begin tomorrow with high pressure still in
:26:29. > :26:32.control, but we have cold fronts sitting above us and that is what is
:26:33. > :26:36.making things feel different tomorrow. Plenty of cloud to come
:26:37. > :26:39.throughout the day and a few showers knocking about. That cloud cover is
:26:40. > :26:44.really going to affect our temperatures and the best of the
:26:45. > :26:48.brightness will be in western parts where Western `` temperaturds can
:26:49. > :26:52.make it up to 23 Celsius. Elsewhere, cloud the back to when it should be
:26:53. > :26:57.for this time of year. Tomorrow night, very similar. Plenty of cloud
:26:58. > :27:01.about and a few showers which will slowly die out. Again, it whll be
:27:02. > :27:06.quite a mild and muggy night with temperatures between 12 and 14
:27:07. > :27:10.Celsius. On Sunday, very sililar. Nothing much changes throughout the
:27:11. > :27:16.next few days. Rather stagn`nt temperatures of around 20 or 21
:27:17. > :27:18.Celsius. Mostly dry, but pldnty of cloud about. So where you gdt the
:27:19. > :27:22.sun, make the most of it. Here's Rebecca.
