The headlines tonight: and on BBC One we

Sloppy security by a private firm puts thousands of NHS

:00:10.:00:12.

I would be very surprised and shocked that patient records would

have been accessed. In an exclusive report,

we reveal how security was breached, A summer of disruption

of up to 10,000 NHS patients were put at risk, because of sloppy

:00:56.:01:11.

security by a private company. Contracts for ultrasound sc`ns

:01:12.:01:14.

across Staffordshire were stspended, after a whistle`blower reve`led

:01:15.:01:17.

information was being stored overseas by the firm,

:01:18.:01:21.

Diagnostic Health. In one breach, a laptop with

:01:22.:01:25.

unencrypted data was stolen. Our health correspondent, Mhchele

:01:26.:01:28.

Paduano, has this exclusive report. Most people go to hospital

:01:29.:01:34.

for ultrasound scans. At the Queen Elizabeth Hosphtal

:01:35.:01:36.

they are checking this patidnt for kidney stones, but for convdnience

:01:37.:01:39.

and to save money, portable scanners are now being used in GP surgeries

:01:40.:01:43.

by private companies. But Birmingham`based Diagnostic

:01:44.:01:48.

Health Systems failed to protect At the Queen Elizabeth Hosphtal

:01:49.:01:50.

in Birmingham, they, like all NHS Using Gmail and the Google

:01:51.:02:09.

Drive would not be allowed. I would be shocked and surprised if

:02:10.:02:27.

patient records had been accessed and given to what is an org`nisation

:02:28.:02:32.

that has an excellent record and reputation for being transp`rent and

:02:33.:02:38.

open, but that is not how NHS patient records should be h`ndled.

:02:39.:02:41.

Diagnostic Health's national headquarters is just

:02:42.:02:43.

a few hundred metres from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

:02:44.:02:48.

The chief executive of this company said they had been transpardnt with

:02:49.:02:56.

their clients and as such the commissioner was happy for them to

:02:57.:02:59.

see their patients again and the hope that others will follow

:03:00.:03:00.

shortly. The Wolverhampton Road surgdry

:03:01.:03:03.

in Stafford is one of five hn the This lead commissioner accepts that

:03:04.:03:06.

if a whistle`blower hadn't come It is very serious and that is why

:03:07.:03:18.

we have put it hands into the information Commissioner. Hd is on

:03:19.:03:23.

to the fore looking at issuds of the serious nature and we were clear

:03:24.:03:24.

that it has to be sorted. Scanning can reveal intimatd details

:03:25.:03:28.

about our health, but Diagnostic Health didn't want intimate details

:03:29.:03:30.

about its systems made publhc so What do you mean by

:03:31.:03:33.

the public might never have known? The Information Commissioner carried

:03:34.:03:47.

out an audit but unlike with NHS organisations where that has to be

:03:48.:03:51.

made public, private companhes can refuse to make that public `nd that

:03:52.:03:56.

is what this company did. I tried several times via the Commissioner

:03:57.:04:00.

to get that information using the Freedom of Information Act `nd I was

:04:01.:04:03.

told that they would not provided to and if it has not been leakdd, we

:04:04.:04:05.

would not the details. The implications are with the

:04:06.:04:20.

qualified provider. This was not good. This company filled ott the

:04:21.:04:24.

wrong forms, other companies could be in a similar position whhch we

:04:25.:04:28.

will not know about. This is the Stafford area, again, polithcal

issues. For the patients, this is stored in the cloud of lying and the

No small beer ` it's worth over ?1.5 billion, but with pubs closhng every

:04:48.:04:52.

week, what's the future for our brewing industry?

:04:53.:04:57.

Rail commuters are being warned of a summer of disruption

:04:58.:04:59.

?24 million is being spent to improve services between Redditch

:05:00.:05:03.

and Birmingham but that means shutting

:05:04.:05:05.

And as Giles Latcham reports, there'll be problems

:05:06.:05:09.

They nearly closed it in thd 19 0s, but Alvechurch station

:05:10.:05:17.

in Worcestershire is now at the centre of a big schele to

:05:18.:05:21.

The station itself is being transformed and instead of the

:05:22.:05:24.

existing single track as visualised in this video, there'll be two

:05:25.:05:29.

parallel tracks over a stretch nearly two miles long ` a m`jor

:05:30.:05:33.

investment say Network Rail and testament to the popularity

:05:34.:05:35.

When I started on the railw`y 3 years ago we were managing

:05:36.:05:50.

redundancies and to claim and it is great that we are bringing

:05:51.:05:52.

investment and this is one of the ways to address that, holding our

:05:53.:05:56.

way out of the capacity problems that we were faced with. Today's

:05:57.:06:02.

engineers all a get of grathtude to their four fathers who when they

:06:03.:06:06.

adopt this approach in 1855 and built it wide enough to accommodate

:06:07.:06:12.

two lines, never 160 years on, that foresight is paying off. Residents

:06:13.:06:18.

living nearby say they are paying a price. Tony has a muscle wasting

:06:19.:06:21.

disease and at snag is brokdn by flashing lights and noise of heavy

:06:22.:06:27.

machinery. There is no escape. I spend all day trying to avohd the

:06:28.:06:33.

noise. Earplugs are not sufficient. If you don't out the noise, which is

:06:34.:06:38.

impossible, the vibrations shake the whole house. This will servd

:06:39.:06:44.

Redditch and 40 metres therd is also destruction. The line will be shot

:06:45.:06:52.

from early July until August. It is a great line in direct into my

:06:53.:06:59.

workplace sold to for such ` long time will be a problem. I al hoping

:07:00.:07:02.

things will improve or it whll be impossible for me to get to work.

:07:03.:07:09.

Bus services will replace the trains but there will be plenty to gain in

:07:10.:07:14.

the long term. The benefits for our passengers around the areas will be

:07:15.:07:18.

substantial. There is a minor disruption and I apologise for that

:07:19.:07:21.

but I believe the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. The benefits will

:07:22.:07:26.

be more trains which will bd more punctual. The project will be

:07:27.:07:28.

completed by Christmas. the controversy surrounding an

:07:29.:07:56.

alleged plot by hardline Muslims to take over Birmingham schools was

:07:57.:07:59.

raised in Parliament today. It follows demands for governors at

:08:00.:08:04.

some of the schools to stand down, including Park View Academy. Joanne

:08:05.:08:09.

can tell us more. Most of them want the governing body to they want to

:08:10.:08:14.

form a new one. The governors have told us that the process of school

:08:15.:08:18.

inspections they believe has been politically motivated and they think

:08:19.:08:22.

the governors are not the problem. Michael Gove was asked in the

:08:23.:08:25.

Commons this afternoon whether he would accept that schools mtst be

:08:26.:08:29.

locally accountable. The trtth is that we could action that the last

:08:30.:08:35.

government never took to de`l with extremist schools and we have

:08:36.:08:39.

introduced inspections to ensure that Her Majesty Chief Inspdctor has

:08:40.:08:45.

powers to deal with this. Joanne, more detail has emerged of some of

:08:46.:08:48.

the issues that the headteachers have faced. Yes, this afternoon I

:08:49.:08:54.

went to Anderson Park primary in this Park Hill were 98% of the

:08:55.:09:00.

children are Muslim. This is not a school involved and those

:09:01.:09:04.

said she had to deal with a minority said she had to deal with a minority

:09:05.:09:10.

of serious problems. There was a bullying racism issue involving a

:09:11.:09:14.

white child 18 months ago. When she asked a payment how they wotld have

:09:15.:09:19.

dealt with it, this was his answer. He said to me he would get the white

:09:20.:09:24.

child and put him into a corner with a white desk and a wink chedr and a

:09:25.:09:31.

white teacher and keep an away from everyone else. I said that what he

:09:32.:09:35.

said was very serious and I wrote it down. I'd ask them to imagine if I

:09:36.:09:42.

did what he suggested. If it did not work, I'd asked him what he would

:09:43.:09:47.

suggest. He told me to get rid of the white child. The headte`cher

:09:48.:09:54.

stressed to me that that was a minority view and she had vdry few

:09:55.:09:59.

problems like that. The head of Ofsted, Sir Michael Wilshaw, he has

:10:00.:10:03.

agreed to meet a group of p`rents involved in these corrosion horse

:10:04.:10:10.

allegations, that is, the school that their children attend hs

this natural resource helped the town become

the brewing capital of the world. But a few years ago

:11:33.:11:36.

fortunes were changing. The name Bass disappeared

:11:37.:11:40.

from the skyline. New American owners Coors closed

Major investment has just bden announced

So how is the town coping whth these new investments?

By cutting the duty and givhng certain tree in relation to the ``

makes his own decisions. Thd robot enters the room along this floor

computer game consoles. He laps out the room and remembers what he sees.

:15:31.:15:34.

If they spot something diffdrent, and item in the wrong place, he can

:15:35.:15:43.

report it. Will this be the silicone security guard of the futurd? It is

:15:44.:15:47.

not about replacing securitx officers, but he can help them to

make quick decisions about changes in the environment. Bob is `

pick up on the law activitids that the guards does not need to be

move on! One of the most fascinating things is that he is progralmed that

if he gets stuck in a corner or if someone is blocking him, he will ask

:16:39.:16:45.

for help, all you have to do is move him out of the way. He is also very

As a talented youngster, Daniel Sturridge joined the

:17:30.:17:31.

And now, he's England's star striker.

:17:32.:17:35.

Sadly, despite scoring, he was unable to mark

:17:36.:17:37.

his mum's birthday with a vhctory against Italy on Saturday.

:17:38.:17:39.

The England goal that briefly raised our hopes of beating Italy

Can the same man repeat the trick against Uruguay this Thursd`y?

:17:46.:17:51.

Celebrated by Daniel Sturridge in Manaus and 5,000 miles away

:17:52.:17:55.

This is where young Daniel grew up as a kid.

:17:56.:18:01.

The old Sturridge family hole is just a couple of miles away

:18:02.:18:04.

And this is the painted goal he used for target

:18:05.:18:09.

practice, honing the skills that would eventually take him all

:18:10.:18:11.

Daniel used to shoot into that goal, it was painted 13 years ago. To go

:18:12.:18:28.

back to the Midlands and whdre he grew up and learn about football, he

:18:29.:18:30.

has especial feeling inside of him and it makes him perform at a higher

:18:31.:18:31.

level. He played in the Premier Le`gue

:18:32.:18:33.

for Derby, Leicester and Wolves Another uncle, Simon, played

:18:34.:18:37.

for Birmingham City and Stoke. And Daniel's dad Michael was signed

during his brief reign at Being a talented footballer runs

in the Sturridge family gends. Daniel has taken it on to that extra

:18:45.:18:56.

level, that higher level, wd knew he had it in him. Everyone in the

:18:57.:19:02.

Academy knew about his potential and for him to achieve that and not get

:19:03.:19:07.

distracted by the things th`t can come around football and kedp his

:19:08.:19:10.

focus, we are all very proud of him. If you're looking

:19:11.:19:14.

for a good omen for Thursdax's big game in Group D, look no further

:19:15.:19:16.

than the London Olympics. Two years ago, Team GB beat Uruguay

:19:17.:19:19.

1`0, and it was Sturridge who scored holiday when Daniel Sturridge scored

:19:20.:19:31.

at the Olympics but if Engl`nd reached the knockout stages, all of

:19:32.:19:35.

the annual's family will be on the first flight to Brazil. We `re all

:19:36.:19:42.

looking forward to this gamd, it is a huge task but we are not worried

:19:43.:19:46.

about any individuals or worrying about Uruguay. We have to worry

:19:47.:19:48.

about what we do as a team. So England's number nine is clearly

:19:49.:19:51.

in good shape And back home, Daniel's uncle Dean

:19:52.:19:53.

and the rest of the Sturridge family are hoping it'll be game, sdt and

:19:54.:19:57.

match against Uruguay on Thtrsday. Well, back home there's been angry

:19:58.:20:03.

reaction from West Bromwich Albion fans to the appointment

:20:04.:20:05.

of their new head coach. The former Preston and Sheffield

:20:06.:20:08.

Wednesday manager Alan Irvine Our reporter Dan Pallett has been

:20:09.:20:10.

looking at some of the reaction Baggies Russ described Irvine's

:20:11.:20:15.

appointment as one He won't be renewing

:20:16.:20:22.

his season ticket. Ryan Hill said he's never bden

:20:23.:20:29.

so disappointed. He says Irvine is a Championship

:20:30.:20:31.

manager ` shocking. Ser Kal thinks Irvine will be

:20:32.:20:37.

gone after just five games. And for Albion fans looking

:20:38.:20:42.

for hope, this from a Sheffheld He says Irvine is

:20:43.:20:43.

the worst manager they've ever had. And Dan's down in the West Lidland

:20:44.:20:52.

studios where they're broadcasting Have those sentiments been dchoed

:20:53.:20:55.

in the calls? They have

:20:56.:20:58.

and the backlash continues. We are live on air at the moment.

:20:59.:21:00.

One person has said it One person has said it is a

:21:01.:21:11.

disgusting appointment. We have not spoken to one support who is happy.

:21:12.:21:18.

One did say that he deserved a chance. I would say that thdy have

:21:19.:21:24.

talked about being shell`shocked, saying it is a disgrace, he will be

:21:25.:21:27.

under a lot of pressure frol the word go to get results. Thex have

:21:28.:21:33.

cited the likes of Alex McLdish David Jones, Malky Mackay, `ll

:21:34.:21:38.

managers that they would have preferred to see at the hawthorns.

:21:39.:21:44.

Tim Sherwood was also mentioned What about the timing of thhs? That

:21:45.:21:50.

is an interesting point. It was announced on Saturday evening just

:21:51.:21:52.

before England played Italy. The first caller said it was silply to

:21:53.:22:01.

bury bad news on the evening of the huge World Cup match. It did not

:22:02.:22:06.

escape the attention of the West Bromwich Albion fans, they have been

:22:07.:22:10.

quick to react with those b`nners. Others have said it lacks

:22:11.:22:14.

conviction, what you think? They could have had Tim Sherwood, it

:22:15.:22:18.

looks like they are bringing him in on the cheap. Looking at Al`n Irvine

:22:19.:22:27.

and Rob Kelly, Robert is an amazing coach, but it is a huge task, who

:22:28.:22:31.

will they be able to attract to the football club? We will hear from the

:22:32.:22:43.

new manager on It was a decade
