:00:00. > :00:10.A reminder of the main story, Rolf Harris is beginning a
:00:11. > :00:15.The headlines: We have been denied justice, a
:00:16. > :00:19.family's anger following a death in police custody. Someone killed
:00:20. > :00:25.Kingsley. He never killed hhmself, so who killed Kingsley? The family
:00:26. > :00:29.say they are planning more protests. The taxi driver who knocked down and
:00:30. > :00:34.killed a student backs a call for councils to put street lights on at
:00:35. > :00:38.night. He was wearing dark clothing and the lights were off so the
:00:39. > :00:43.driver could not have seen him. The stopping distance, even if he could
:00:44. > :00:46.have seen him, he would havd hit him anyway.
:00:47. > :00:50.Racing is back on at Warwick six weeks after a horse had to be put
:00:51. > :00:55.down. Remember this? Cheerful and cheeky.
:00:56. > :00:59.The famous dress is up for `uction. And there are plenty of outdoor
:01:00. > :01:04.events taking place this wedkend, but will the weather affect them? If
:01:05. > :01:07.you are off to a festival, pack your wellies. Not a total wash`ott. The
:01:08. > :01:22.full forecast later. Good evening. The family of a man
:01:23. > :01:26.who died after being detaindd by police in Birmingham say thdy have
:01:27. > :01:28.been denied justice. The Crown Prosecution Service decided this
:01:29. > :01:31.week not to prosecute policd or medics in connection with the death
:01:32. > :01:36.of Kingsley barrel. But his relatives believe he was restrained
:01:37. > :01:42.using excessive force and they say they will continue their fight to
:01:43. > :01:45.hold officers to account. Kadisha Burrell was one of the last
:01:46. > :01:49.people to see her brother alive This week she has learned that three
:01:50. > :01:54.years on no one will face criminal charges in connection with the death
:01:55. > :01:59.of 29`year`old Kingsley. For the family it is a bitter blow. Having
:02:00. > :02:03.lost Kingsley in this tragic way is hurtful. But to not get justice
:02:04. > :02:10.would be unbearable for the family as well as the community. In March
:02:11. > :02:14.2011, Kingsley was detained under the Mental Health Act. Thred days
:02:15. > :02:19.later, after a disturbance `t a mental health facility, he died in
:02:20. > :02:23.hospital. In March 2013, fotr police officers were arrested on stspicion
:02:24. > :02:28.of gross negligence, manslatghter and misconduct. This week, the CPS
:02:29. > :02:32.said there was insufficient evidence to bring prosecutions. We are not
:02:33. > :02:36.giving up, this is just the beginning. We have waited so long
:02:37. > :02:40.and we will continue to fight, no matter how long it takes. Wd will
:02:41. > :02:44.get justice for my brother who died in police custody. The family say
:02:45. > :02:48.Kingsley had no history of lental illness, yet after dialling 999 to
:02:49. > :02:53.tell police he and his son had been threatened by a gang, he was
:02:54. > :02:57.detained in this mental health unit in Winson Green. In a violent
:02:58. > :03:01.incident involving four polhce officers and six medics, Kingsley
:03:02. > :03:06.was handcuffed and forcibly restrained. His family say such was
:03:07. > :03:12.the force used that his death later in hospital amounts to manslaughter.
:03:13. > :03:16.Deciding against prosecutions, the CPS concludes that officers and
:03:17. > :03:21.medical staff were presented with an ongoing and difficult set of
:03:22. > :03:28.circumstances. The decision does leave more unanswered questhons And
:03:29. > :03:31.it does point to a developing debate over to tear justice system,
:03:32. > :03:36.meaning, does a uniform makds somebody immune from prosecttion in
:03:37. > :03:43.comparison to a normal man hn the street? At Westminster this week,
:03:44. > :03:47.MPs heard from a mental health campaign group concerned about the
:03:48. > :03:52.treatment of lack detainees by the police. We are not seeing any
:03:53. > :03:55.accountability. We have seen too many healthy people lose thdir lives
:03:56. > :03:57.at the hands of people who `re tasked with their protection and
:03:58. > :04:04.care, and there is no accountability. Kingsley's family
:04:05. > :04:08.are planning more protests `nd they say they will not give up, their
:04:09. > :04:15.hopes now pinned on an interest a date for which is yet to be fixed.
:04:16. > :04:19.Today was the deadline for the so`called Trojan Horse schools in
:04:20. > :04:22.Birmingham to give their response to the Department for Education about
:04:23. > :04:26.criticism levelled at them hn last month's Ofsted report 's. The
:04:27. > :04:30.government said the schools were inadequate and were not being led or
:04:31. > :04:34.managed properly. Peter Wilson has been following the case and is
:04:35. > :04:40.outside Birmingham City Council house. What is important about
:04:41. > :04:45.today? Well, today was D`Dax for four schools who had been w`rned
:04:46. > :04:49.that they face losing their funding. Last month the education
:04:50. > :04:54.Minister said that he had grave concerns about the running of the
:04:55. > :04:59.schools. He even criticised them for failing to promote what he describes
:05:00. > :05:04.as British values. The thred schools from the Park View Academy trust and
:05:05. > :05:07.another academy have all got their responses into the government and
:05:08. > :05:13.they are now being looked at tonight. Have the schools s`id
:05:14. > :05:16.anything publicly? The Park View School is say they are coopdrating
:05:17. > :05:20.fully with the Department for Education. The pupils are jtst
:05:21. > :05:25.trying to concentrate on thdir lessons. We seem to be in this limbo
:05:26. > :05:30.period where we don't know hf an outside group is going to come in
:05:31. > :05:35.and take over those schools. When will we hear about the other
:05:36. > :05:39.investigations into the schools We have two investigations, ond by the
:05:40. > :05:43.City Council, with the Independent Ian Kershaw in charge, and the other
:05:44. > :05:47.by the government, which is led by Peter Clark, controversiallx the
:05:48. > :05:52.former head of counter`terrorism for London. Recently, I asked the City
:05:53. > :05:57.Council leader about whether or not we would ever get to the bottom and
:05:58. > :06:01.find the truth about the Trojan Horse case. I don't think you will
:06:02. > :06:06.ever get the provenance of the Trojan Horse document. And H have
:06:07. > :06:12.been saying that for quite `while. But we to wait. Ian Kershaw's
:06:13. > :06:17.report, which I will bring hnto the public domain in July. Until then,
:06:18. > :06:20.there is no comment I can m`ke. The financial dealings of all of the
:06:21. > :06:24.schools are going to be going through with a fine tooth comb. We
:06:25. > :06:29.should hear more perhaps about the reports themselves in the ndxt
:06:30. > :06:34.couple of weeks. From the Council house, back to the studio.
:06:35. > :06:38.Thank you for joining us thhs Friday evening. Coming up:
:06:39. > :06:44.A first for Birmingham, as lore than 60,000 fans head to the renowned
:06:45. > :06:49.Wireless Festival in Perry Park Amazing. Growing up, I did not know
:06:50. > :06:56.what festivals were until I moved to London. It is good. People `re
:06:57. > :07:00.really going to enjoy it down here. A taxi driver who knocked down and
:07:01. > :07:04.killed a student in Leamington is calling on the County Counchl to put
:07:05. > :07:08.the street lights back on at night. It comes as the AA claims
:07:09. > :07:14.Warwickshire County Council has ignored the findings of an hnquest
:07:15. > :07:18.into the death of Archie, who was killed in December 2012. Thdy say
:07:19. > :07:21.while the number of accidents on roads are falling, they are not
:07:22. > :07:27.decreasing as fast on roads where street lights have been turned off.
:07:28. > :07:31.Archie, a student at Warwick University, was described bx his
:07:32. > :07:36.family as beautiful, intellhgent and very witty. He died after bding hit
:07:37. > :07:42.by a taxi as he walked home along an unlit road after a night out in
:07:43. > :07:47.Leamington. This was the taxi driver that night. He is still haunted by
:07:48. > :07:50.the accident and believes switching off streetlights is dangerots.
:07:51. > :07:57.Because of the light, they could be saved. You could see clearlx what is
:07:58. > :08:02.coming in front and what is not It was on this stretch of road that the
:08:03. > :08:05.accident happened, coming jtst five days after Warwickshire County
:08:06. > :08:10.Council turned off selected streetlights across the county as
:08:11. > :08:16.part of a plan to save ?500,000 Archie's family do not blamd the
:08:17. > :08:19.taxi driver. He could not sde him. He was wearing dark clothing and the
:08:20. > :08:22.street lights were turned off, so the taxi driver could not h`ve seen
:08:23. > :08:27.him. The stopping distance `nyway, even if he could have seen him, he
:08:28. > :08:32.would have hit him anyway. H have no blame for him at all. The coroner
:08:33. > :08:36.said switching off the lights was a factor and asked the Council to
:08:37. > :08:40.review their policy. Nobody from Warwickshire County Council would be
:08:41. > :08:44.interviewed but they did give us a statement. It says whilst the
:08:45. > :08:47.absence of street lighting was one of many contributory factor is the
:08:48. > :08:51.coroner identified, a causal link has not been established. The
:08:52. > :08:56.statement goes on, the council was making improvements to this area
:08:57. > :09:00.which should be operational from next month. The council say the
:09:01. > :09:02.number of serious road accident is falling, but clearly their
:09:03. > :09:07.sympathies remain with Archhe's family. I don't think any f`mily
:09:08. > :09:11.should have to go through what my family has had to go through,
:09:12. > :09:15.through the loss of someone in a road traffic accident due to the
:09:16. > :09:18.lights being turned off. Thd death has led to safety campaigners
:09:19. > :09:22.calling for more to be done to improve street lighting, and his
:09:23. > :09:29.family say it is impossible to put a price on life.
:09:30. > :09:32.Ten men have now been arrested in connection with the disorder in
:09:33. > :09:36.which a man was killed in Birmingham. Six more were arrested
:09:37. > :09:40.this evening following the hncident in Sparkbrook on Wednesday. Four of
:09:41. > :09:44.them are being held on susphcion of attempted murder. The two other men
:09:45. > :09:47.were arrested on suspicion of murder. They will answer qudstions
:09:48. > :09:51.once they have finished recdiving medical treatment. Police h`ve also
:09:52. > :09:55.arrested again the four men they already had in custody on stspicion
:09:56. > :09:59.of murder. A postmortem exalination has revealed that the victil,
:10:00. > :10:06.32`year`old Ikram Elahi, didd from a stab wound to the nest, not a
:10:07. > :10:10.gunshot, as previously thought. Wychavon District Council f`ces a
:10:11. > :10:14.bill of up to ?100,000 in costs after the government overturned a
:10:15. > :10:18.planning decision. It means nearly 800 homes on land to the sotth of
:10:19. > :10:23.Droitwich will now be built, along with 400 more properties at Long
:10:24. > :10:25.Marston. The government says Wychavon District Council bdhaved
:10:26. > :10:30.unreasonably in refusing permission. New line we do not think we have
:10:31. > :10:36.acted unreasonably. It is going to cost money. Sometimes you h`ve to
:10:37. > :10:41.take a stand. There is not going to be much change out of six fhgures
:10:42. > :10:45.here. But it is important that we take a stand. We are putting forward
:10:46. > :10:52.good sites for development hn Wychavon. But we are going to
:10:53. > :10:56.continue to oppose bad sites. The family of Bob Jones, West
:10:57. > :11:00.Midlands Police and crime commissioner who died suddenly on
:11:01. > :11:03.Tuesday, have criticised thd calling of a by`election before his
:11:04. > :11:07.funeral. It was announced today that voting will take place on Atgust the
:11:08. > :11:11.21st, but his widow says calling the election before he has been put to
:11:12. > :11:18.rest is, in her view, disrespectful to him and his good work.
:11:19. > :11:22.As the debate intensifies over a Greater Birmingham, a Black Country
:11:23. > :11:26.council leader has thrown hhs weight behind the idea of a West Mhdlands
:11:27. > :11:29.city region. The Labour leader of Dudley Council, David Sparks, has
:11:30. > :11:32.been speaking to our political editor, Patrick Burns, as hd
:11:33. > :11:35.prepares to our political editor, Patrick Burns, as he over as
:11:36. > :11:39.chairman of the Local Government Association, representing over 00
:11:40. > :11:42.local councils. In the West Midlands, if we don't have `n
:11:43. > :11:46.organisation similar to Gre`ter Manchester, we will suffer. We will
:11:47. > :11:50.suffer internationally, bec`use we are in global competition. Clearly,
:11:51. > :11:56.individual local authorities cannot deliver all of the services within
:11:57. > :11:59.their boundaries any more. Ht was never the case. In the Black
:12:00. > :12:03.Country, the boundaries are ridiculous.
:12:04. > :12:08.Patrick will be back with more on this this weekend at 11am on BBC
:12:09. > :12:13.One. You can read more about it on his blog.
:12:14. > :12:16.Racing has returned to Warwhck for the first time in six weeks
:12:17. > :12:20.following the death of a horse in May. Four meetings were movdd to
:12:21. > :12:24.other tracks while the bend into the home straight was adjusted, but the
:12:25. > :12:28.long`term future of flat racing at Warwick remains in doubt. D`n
:12:29. > :12:34.Pallett was there. There are always a few nervds before
:12:35. > :12:37.racing. Today, ever more so. This was Warwick's first race since a
:12:38. > :12:45.meeting was abandoned after a fatality. The result was just what
:12:46. > :12:52.they wanted. All of the runners came back safely. She has put pldnty of
:12:53. > :12:56.water on the ground. It is good the nicest ground I have written on for
:12:57. > :12:59.a bit. It was unfortunate. H was here on that day, ten minutds from
:13:00. > :13:04.the track, and it was like ` monsoon. That was a relief for the
:13:05. > :13:08.clerk of the course, who has worked hard on the track, ensuring lush
:13:09. > :13:12.turf and the more gentle turn into the home straight. There is a waste
:13:13. > :13:17.like trepidation, even without the problems we have had recently. I am
:13:18. > :13:20.always slightly nervous before racing. Probably every clerk in the
:13:21. > :13:25.country is, because people `re judging the work you have done based
:13:26. > :13:30.on how well the horse runs. So it is always quite testing. But I am
:13:31. > :13:36.hopeful that today will go well and I am confident the changes we have
:13:37. > :13:39.made are the right ones. Today's racers were all sprints. It was
:13:40. > :13:43.important to bring racing b`ck to Warwick and a good crowd cale to
:13:44. > :13:49.enjoy ladies day, but the longer term future of flat racing hs still
:13:50. > :13:51.being discussed. Nothing has been guaranteed, everything is open. We
:13:52. > :13:56.have to get the work done and then will we `` we will be in a position
:13:57. > :14:02.to make the right decision. Ian Williams had a runner today and is a
:14:03. > :14:05.keen supporter. Whether you are a trainer, Owen or jockey or someone
:14:06. > :14:09.with a passion for racing, ht is a great track, well maintained and
:14:10. > :14:14.well looked after. It is an asset to the Midlands and long may it stay
:14:15. > :14:22.that way. Today, seven racers went off without incident, an important
:14:23. > :14:26.step forward in a summer to forget. Staying with sport, Hereford United
:14:27. > :14:29.Football Club have been temporarily banned from staging matches at Edgar
:14:30. > :14:34.Street because of fears over spectator safety. Herefordshire
:14:35. > :14:38.Council say they are not satisfied with safety arrangements put in
:14:39. > :14:41.place by the new owners. It means two friendly matches have bden
:14:42. > :14:46.postponed. Further talks ard due next week.
:14:47. > :14:49.Jordanne Whiley from Halesowen is through to the final of the
:14:50. > :14:56.wheelchair doubles at Wimblddon after victory in her semifinal this
:14:57. > :14:59.morning. She and her partner have already won the Australian `nd
:15:00. > :15:03.French open Championships this year. They lost in the final at Whmbledon
:15:04. > :15:08.in 2013 but will be favourites to win the title on Sunday. Thdre is a
:15:09. > :15:13.lot of pressure, being the number one seed and winning a Grand Slam
:15:14. > :15:16.previously this year. You h`ve to put that aside and perform on the
:15:17. > :15:19.day. If you concentrate on the result, your performance will not be
:15:20. > :15:25.great. We are focusing and we really want to win. We really want to focus
:15:26. > :15:29.on the court at the moment. I am emotionally attached to Wimbledon
:15:30. > :15:34.because it is my home crowd. This is going to be massive for me, if I do
:15:35. > :15:38.win. I will put all of my hdart into it on Sunday. We will be rooting for
:15:39. > :15:41.her. Festival season is underway and this
:15:42. > :15:47.weekend there are a number of events in the Midlands. In Coventrx, the
:15:48. > :15:52.Godiva Festival, believed to be the biggest free music festival in the
:15:53. > :15:56.UK, starts tonight. Around 80,0 0 people are expected to attend the
:15:57. > :16:00.three`day event to see bands like the Happy Mondays and the Btzzcocks.
:16:01. > :16:05.In Stratford`upon`Avon, the River Festival takes place tomorrow and
:16:06. > :16:09.Sunday. Organisers are hoping 5 ,000 people will come to enjoy the free
:16:10. > :16:13.bands and waterways. In Herefordshire, the Bromy`rd Gala
:16:14. > :16:17.will attract around 10,000 people, with everything from music to steam
:16:18. > :16:21.engines and even a donkey ddrby But one of the biggest music festival is
:16:22. > :16:26.ever to be held in Birmingh`m is happening this weekend. The Wireless
:16:27. > :16:29.Festival has taken place in London for the past nine years. Thhs is the
:16:30. > :16:34.first time it has also been held in the Midlands. 64,000 people are
:16:35. > :16:40.expected to attend the thred`day event at Perry Park. This rdport
:16:41. > :16:44.contains flashing images. Packing Perry Park, Festival lovers
:16:45. > :16:48.arriving for the first Wireless Festival to be held in Birmhngham as
:16:49. > :16:54.well as London, as it celebrates its 10th anniversary. Three stages for
:16:55. > :17:02.three days of urban celebration drawing stars like Kanye West. We
:17:03. > :17:06.were looking for another site and Birmingham seemed the obviots
:17:07. > :17:11.choice. It is the year of mtsic in Birmingham. They are pushing live
:17:12. > :17:20.events. The council were supportive so it seemed a good thing to do All
:17:21. > :17:29.the way from America, North Carolina's a pop B.O.B. Herd, they
:17:30. > :17:39.just one music, get music. There are only two kinds of music, good and
:17:40. > :17:45.bad. And I am good music. This afternoon, Birmingham's Jacob Banks,
:17:46. > :17:49.at just 22, the first signed act ever to appear on Radio 1 lhve
:17:50. > :17:54.Lounge. This is his first Whreless Festival. Amazing. Growing tp I did
:17:55. > :18:03.not know what festivals werd until I moved to London. It is good. People
:18:04. > :18:10.will really enjoy it down hdre. There was some disappointment.
:18:11. > :18:13.Drake, headline act Canadian rapper, had to cancel due to ill`he`lth
:18:14. > :18:19.Although fans were given ?20 cashback on the tickets. I have
:18:20. > :18:22.never been to a festival before This is the first one I was
:18:23. > :18:28.interested because I thought that Drake was going to be here but he is
:18:29. > :18:35.not. I thought I would come anyway. We came for Drake, but... Aside from
:18:36. > :18:38.the feel`good factor, the Whreless Festival has another positive
:18:39. > :18:41.effect. All of the stores are local businesses. With people travelling
:18:42. > :18:45.from across the country to come here, staying in local hotels,
:18:46. > :18:51.organisers estimate they ard worth around ?1 million per day to the
:18:52. > :18:55.local economy. Birmingham's first Wireless Festival, no doubt not its
:18:56. > :18:59.last. And for the latest travel ndws, if
:19:00. > :19:04.you are travelling to or trxing to avoid festivals over the wedkend,
:19:05. > :19:12.you can hear regular updates on the radio.
:19:13. > :19:17.Look at this. Do you remembdr it? The poster that adorned manx a
:19:18. > :19:22.bedroom wall in the 1970s and 1 80s, mainly the bedrooms of teen`ge boys
:19:23. > :19:26.and young men. I certainly had one. It was a female tennis playdr
:19:27. > :19:32.hitching up her skirt. Modesty forbids me to say any more, but
:19:33. > :19:36.rather subtle and innocent, don t you think. The dress was handmade by
:19:37. > :19:42.a schoolgirl in Stourbridge and is now up for auction.
:19:43. > :19:46.It was made by a 12`year`old tennis playing schoolgirl in 1970s
:19:47. > :19:51.Stourbridge, and that dress ended up adorning over 2 million posters The
:19:52. > :19:55.schoolgirl was Carol Knotts, who loaned her dress and racket for a
:19:56. > :20:01.photo shoot in Birmingham. Only later did she get an eyeful of the
:20:02. > :20:04.result. Well, I was slightlx surprised by it, I suppose, slightly
:20:05. > :20:11.embarrassed that my mum might see it. But she is raped pleased it is
:20:12. > :20:19.not me modelling it. She is now auctioning the dress, racket and her
:20:20. > :20:25.own 1979 poster. I was quitd young at the time when it came out but it
:20:26. > :20:28.is an iconic picture. I was just saying to the girls down thdre, if
:20:29. > :20:32.they looked like that they would wear the dress and would not wear
:20:33. > :20:38.any knickers. Why have you decided to sell it? It is sitting in a
:20:39. > :20:42.cupboard doing nothing for le. Nobody can ever take away the fact
:20:43. > :20:46.that I made it. If I ever gdt asked the question of what is my claim to
:20:47. > :20:52.fame, I can still say that H made that dress. Before you ask, I am not
:20:53. > :20:57.going to try to recreate th`t look, but I am wondering who might be in
:20:58. > :21:01.the market for it. Sports f`ns, nostalgia, and as it is a unique
:21:02. > :21:05.item you might get some caphtal investment. There is not another
:21:06. > :21:10.one. It will be willing to rest in but that question will be answered
:21:11. > :21:14.tomorrow at 11 a.m.. Just enough time for it to be sent to Cdntre
:21:15. > :21:22.Court for the ladies final `t Wimbledon. Now that would bd cheeky!
:21:23. > :21:28.I do love tennis. There is lots going on this weekend. Do wd need
:21:29. > :21:33.suncream or brollies? Definitely brollies and probably a
:21:34. > :21:35.raincoat. It is a return to the traditional British summer weather.
:21:36. > :21:41.We have had some rain arrivdd already. It is with us right the way
:21:42. > :21:43.through to tomorrow. Once that clears away, things will st`rt to
:21:44. > :21:58.feel cooler. Sunshine and showers is how we
:21:59. > :22:01.continue the weekend. Eastern parts got pleasant conditions but we have
:22:02. > :22:04.a band of rain which works hts way in and we'll stick with us through
:22:05. > :22:09.until tomorrow morning. Somd breaks here and there but we expect up to
:22:10. > :22:13.ten millimetres overnight. Ht has been dry recently so that is
:22:14. > :22:18.unlikely to cause problems but there are some heavy pulses in thdre. Also
:22:19. > :22:21.quite a sticky night with temperatures up to 16 Celsits.
:22:22. > :22:26.Eventually, the front wheel career. Still some uncertainty as to what
:22:27. > :22:30.time that will happen. But ht will improve as we head through tomorrow.
:22:31. > :22:35.Although we wake up with showers, they do `` they do slowly start to
:22:36. > :22:39.fade. Behind that, the best conditions in the West. Somd good
:22:40. > :22:43.spells of sunshine to come `t times. In those, it will feel quitd
:22:44. > :22:50.pleasant. Temperatures back to where we would expect for this tile of
:22:51. > :22:55.year. Another bad end `` not a bad end to Saturday. But then wd start
:22:56. > :23:00.to see the showers really dxing out. Overnight, where we get cle`r skies,
:23:01. > :23:06.we are going to see temperatures falling away. Much more comfortable
:23:07. > :23:10.tomorrow night. Sunday does not start too badly. The sun is out but
:23:11. > :23:15.we have showers popping up through the day. At times they could be
:23:16. > :23:19.heavy and thundery. Temperatures not great but it stays showery `s we
:23:20. > :23:26.head into the new working wdek, so keep the brollies handy.
:23:27. > :23:30.Tonight's headlines. Disgraced entertainer Rolf Harris has been
:23:31. > :23:34.sentenced to five years and nine months for a series of indecent
:23:35. > :23:38.assault 's online `` young girls. And a family say they have been
:23:39. > :23:42.denied justice after a death in police custody.
:23:43. > :23:46.That was the Midlands Today. The 838 tunnels in Birmingham will be closed
:23:47. > :23:51.from 10pm until six tomorrow morning. The overnight clostres will
:23:52. > :23:56.be in place for the next two weeks before they are closed completely
:23:57. > :23:59.for six weeks for restoration work. We are back at 10pm with thd late
:24:00. > :24:02.news. Have a great weekend. Goodbye.
