:00:10. > :00:15.to an alleged paedophile network at the heart of the establishment.

:00:16. > :00:20.This was something which was alarming, that opened a Pandora s

:00:21. > :00:24.box. David Tombs said he raised concerns

:00:25. > :00:27.to the Department of Health 20 years Tahir Alam and his Board of Trustees

:00:28. > :00:32.at Park View Trust resign following allegations of a Luslim

:00:33. > :00:42.takeover plot. We are now at a stage where our

:00:43. > :00:45.students are asking, why do people think I am a terrorist?

:00:46. > :00:48.Delays on the line ` it's likely to take more th`n two

:00:49. > :00:51.years to assess hundreds of petitions against High Speed 2.

:01:03. > :01:05.It could soon be a reality, but not without its drawbacks.

:01:06. > :01:21.There have been new claims linking our region with

:01:22. > :01:23.an alleged paedophile network at the heart of the establishment.

:01:24. > :01:26.A former head of social services for Hereford and Worcester has spoken

:01:27. > :01:30.of how he took his concerns about a paedophile ring to bosses in the

:01:31. > :01:36.But David Tombs says his warnings were ignored.

:01:37. > :01:40.His claims back up those already made by a colleague of his hn social

:01:41. > :01:44.services and also by a formdr West Mercia police detectivd.

:01:45. > :01:50.At home in Ledbury, retired for some 20 years.

:01:51. > :01:53.David Tombs was once a national authority in sochal

:01:54. > :01:58.services, a man used to havhng his concerns taken seriouslx.

:01:59. > :02:00.So when in the early ?90s he heard `bout the

:02:01. > :02:04.case of Peter Righton, a paddophile from Evesham whose activitids

:02:05. > :02:08.allegedly implicated dozens of high`profile figures, he thought the

:02:09. > :02:19.I was told that I was probably wasting my time, that there were...

:02:20. > :02:22.The words used were along these lines.

:02:23. > :02:25.That there were ?too many of them over there?.

:02:26. > :02:28.Now, I was talking about paedophhlia

:02:29. > :02:31.I was in the Department of Health and the "over there"

:02:32. > :02:35.to me indicated, although the words were not used, within Parli`ment or

:02:36. > :02:41.David Tombs? account of a cover`up might sound f`miliar.

:02:42. > :02:45.That's because the case of Peter Righton ` who's now ddad `

:02:46. > :02:48.is linked to Operation Fairbank the current police investig`tion

:02:49. > :02:52.into claims of a paedophile network linked to Downing Street.

:02:53. > :02:57.It all started in October 1892 when West Bromwich Labour MP Tom

:02:58. > :02:59.Watson stood up in the Commons and asked for

:03:00. > :03:06.Now he'd been given information from one of Mr Tombs? colleagues, the

:03:07. > :03:09.former child protection man`ger Peter McKelvie. He spoke publicly

:03:10. > :03:13.last week, saying he believdd at least 20 prominent men were involved

:03:14. > :03:19.Two days later, his story w`s corroborated by the former West

:03:20. > :03:25.Now he claimed he had found suitcases full of correspondence

:03:26. > :03:30.under Righton's bed linking establishment figures to paddophilia

:03:31. > :03:35.and that despite the police knowing about the evidence nothing was done.

:03:36. > :03:39.David Tombs has described the Righton case as a Pandora's box that

:03:40. > :03:53.It seems to me that the one place I should be able to come to to alert

:03:54. > :03:59.the nation to this issue was the Department of Health.

:04:00. > :04:02.And it didn't look as if I was going to get any kind of response.

:04:03. > :04:05.Tonight, a spokesperson for the Department of Health sahd she

:04:06. > :04:08.couldn't comment on Mr Tombs? claims because of the imminent enqtiry

:04:09. > :04:16.The chairman of the education trust at the centre

:04:17. > :04:19.of the alleged Trojan Horse Muslim takeover plot in Birmingham schools

:04:20. > :04:24.has resigned along with his entire Board of Trustees.

:04:25. > :04:27.Our political reporter, Kathryn Stanczyszyn, is at the

:04:28. > :04:42.Well, Elliott, the head teacher stood in front of these eight is so

:04:43. > :04:46.widely pictured over the last four months and announced he was stepping

:04:47. > :04:49.down along with his trustees at this trust. He did not go quietlx, saying

:04:50. > :04:54.the message from Government is clear. You can comment on these East

:04:55. > :05:00.Birmingham 's and run the schools and improve them you know c`nnot be

:05:01. > :05:04.trusted to carry on. Ofsted downgraded three of the schools run

:05:05. > :05:11.by this trust last month and Mr Alam said it was a vicious attack. Ofsted

:05:12. > :05:14.found that the trust had bedn pushing an Islamic agenda and there

:05:15. > :05:18.was a culture of fear and intimidation amongst staff,

:05:19. > :05:21.something Mr Alam has strentously denied. In his resignation, he said

:05:22. > :05:26.there was no apologies, no regrets, just concern for the pupils here.

:05:27. > :05:30.Our grade A students are asking why do people think I am a

:05:31. > :05:33.terrorist? They are worrying about the impact having Park View on their

:05:34. > :05:40.might have on the chances of securing a college, univershty or a

:05:41. > :05:43.future job prospect. The trtth is that no`one cared about the children

:05:44. > :05:46.and young people in Birmingham when the schools were failing them

:05:47. > :06:00.There was little doubt eithdr of who Mr Alam blame for this. He spoke

:06:01. > :06:05.about Michael Gove. He said he has a profound mistrust of Islam, that is

:06:06. > :06:08.on public record, and that hs what has allowed suspicion to grow and

:06:09. > :06:10.concerns to be blown out of proportion.

:06:11. > :06:16.What happens now at the schools involved?

:06:17. > :06:18.All three trustees will now be replaced. The Department for

:06:19. > :06:24.Education are involved in this. Other heads from outstanding schools

:06:25. > :06:26.are likely to come in and hdlp run the school from September.

:06:27. > :06:31.How a company from Stoke is transforming the back

:06:32. > :06:38.of bus seats into interactive maps for the Commonwealth Games.

:06:39. > :06:42.It's likely to take MPs mord than two years to assess hundreds

:06:43. > :06:45.of petitions against the high speed rail link

:06:46. > :06:49.An influential Government committee has spent the day in the Midlands

:06:50. > :06:52.looking at sites which could be affected by the line.

:06:53. > :06:57.Our transport correspondent Peter Plisner is at Curzon Street in

:06:58. > :07:00.Birmingham, which would be the site of the main station for the project.

:07:01. > :07:08.Why is it going to take so long for these petitions to be hdard

:07:09. > :07:14.I think it is the sheer weight of petitions that have been received by

:07:15. > :07:18.those opposed to HS2 and indeed the hybrid bill that could clear the way

:07:19. > :07:22.for it to be built. At the dnd of June when the deadline passdd, 900

:07:23. > :07:26.petitions had been put forw`rd by people directly affected by the

:07:27. > :07:29.line. All of those have perlission to address the committee personally.

:07:30. > :07:34.That is why we will see so luch time taken. The committee was he`rd in

:07:35. > :07:39.the Midlands all day today `nd visited this site. This is where we

:07:40. > :07:46.saw plans for what will be the UK's biggest HS2 station. They also saw

:07:47. > :07:49.other parts of Birmingham and the area. I talked to the chairlan of

:07:50. > :07:54.the committee and he talked about the timescales. We would be lucky to

:07:55. > :07:59.do it in under two years. It depends about this petitions and sole of the

:08:00. > :08:03.changes we might make. Many of the petitions depend on decisions the

:08:04. > :08:07.committee might make. So, wd intend to deal with it as quickly `s we

:08:08. > :08:12.can. Did the committee meet with any of the objectors today?

:08:13. > :08:17.They did. They spent all dax year and went to a village badly affected

:08:18. > :08:21.by plans for HS2. They encotntered a small protest here and some of those

:08:22. > :08:24.people had put petitions in. I spoke to one of those who did spe`k to one

:08:25. > :08:29.of the committee members and visitors what they said. Thdy were

:08:30. > :08:34.very reasonable. I hope thex will take on board some of the things we

:08:35. > :08:38.said. What did you talk abott? I thought it was a waste of money and

:08:39. > :08:47.they should look at the altdrnative proposals we have put forward. It

:08:48. > :08:54.does rather make deadlines pretty tight if construction will start in

:08:55. > :08:58.2017. One or bit of HS2 news. It is highly likely the Government will

:08:59. > :09:00.announce that HS2 Limited, The company behind the controversial

:09:01. > :09:05.scheme, will move its headqtarters from London to Birmingham so that

:09:06. > :09:07.they can be in Birmingham to manage the construction phase of the

:09:08. > :09:15.project. A Birmingham man charged with

:09:16. > :09:17.facilitating terrorism has been West Midlands Police say 20`year`old

:09:22. > :09:24.appear before a jury in September The Independent Police Complaints

:09:25. > :09:27.Commission is assessing whether West Midlands Police should be

:09:28. > :09:30.investigated following the lurder It's emerged police visited

:09:45. > :09:49.former Transport Minister D`vid Jamieson has been selected

:09:50. > :09:54.as the candidate for West Mhdlands Mr Jamieson, who's from Solhhull,

:09:55. > :09:57.was MP for Plymouth The by`election was called

:09:58. > :10:03.after the death There have been comings

:10:04. > :10:09.and goings all day at Number 10 Downing Street, as the Primd

:10:10. > :10:12.Minister reshapes his Cabindt. And it's had some major

:10:13. > :10:15.repercussions here in the Mhdlands. The North Shropshire MP Owen

:10:16. > :10:18.Paterson has been sacked as Environment Secretary

:10:19. > :10:22.but there's been a promotion Our political editor Patrick Burns

:10:23. > :10:26.has been So, Patrick,

:10:27. > :10:37.not a good day for Owen Patterson? Absolutely not. I am told that

:10:38. > :10:42.unlike some of his colleaguds, Owen Paterson was in no mood to stand

:10:43. > :10:48.down. This really is a filing. Why? Partly because of his response to

:10:49. > :10:55.the flooding emergency. There was the failed badger cull and those

:10:56. > :10:59.notorious comments about Defra's handling of the measures to prevent

:11:00. > :11:02.TB and cattle spreading. Asked about the failure of pilots, incltding one

:11:03. > :11:07.in Gloucestershire, he said the badgers moved the goalposts. He has

:11:08. > :11:10.had a rough ride since he took over the job Environment Secretary two

:11:11. > :11:13.years ago from one of his fdllow Midlands MPs. He has been no

:11:14. > :11:18.stranger to controversy. He has been sceptical about climate change and a

:11:19. > :11:23.very public opponent of the Government's Same`sex Marri`ge Bill.

:11:24. > :11:29.Where some MPs lose out, others gain. Good news for Jeremy Wright.

:11:30. > :11:33.That is the way of it. Mr Wright has landed the top job of Attorney

:11:34. > :11:37.General, which makes in the Government's chief legal adviser. He

:11:38. > :11:41.is a specialist in criminal law who practised as a barrister at

:11:42. > :11:45.Birmingham Chambers and has been an MP since 2005. He was then the

:11:46. > :11:51.Minister for prison is and rehabilitation since 2012. This is a

:11:52. > :11:55.significant motion. Some of those tipped for thd top

:11:56. > :12:02.jobs? We're still waiting for details for possible top jobs for

:12:03. > :12:04.some of our Midlands MPs who are female.

:12:05. > :12:14.They are more likely to be junior roles.

:12:22. > :12:27.It was a busy day at Number 10 Downing Street. Thank you.

:12:28. > :12:29.A Stoke`on`Trent technology company is helping to give passengers on

:12:30. > :12:31.buses in Glasgow a more intdractive Commonwealth Games experience.

:12:32. > :12:34.It means people with smartphones or tablets will be able to find out

:12:35. > :12:37.more about the Games, the vdnues and the competitors all by scanning a

:12:38. > :12:42.And as our Staffordshire reporter Liz Copper's been finding ott,

:12:43. > :12:52.This hi`tech firm's taking on companies in Silicon Valley.

:12:53. > :12:55.Its name is Ooh`AR and AR stands for "augmented reality".

:12:56. > :13:04.All this from its headquartdrs in Burslem in Stoke`on`Trent.

:13:05. > :13:11.What is augmented reality? Ht is a bridge between the real world and

:13:12. > :13:15.digital world. By pointing xour smartphone or tablet at a phece of

:13:16. > :13:21.packaging or piece of print or even a bus seat, we can access htge

:13:22. > :13:25.amounts of information. It streams to that device so customers can be

:13:26. > :13:27.engaged about products and services but then they can immediately start

:13:28. > :13:32.to interact with that content using the touch`screen to sign up or

:13:33. > :13:33.joining or buy things. One of the company's most hhgh

:13:34. > :13:36.profile projects has been l`unched The technology's being used on

:13:37. > :13:47.the back of bus seats in Gl`sgow. Once you switch it on, you hold it

:13:48. > :13:49.and it will pick the trigger lock and the information comes to life as

:13:50. > :13:55.you're travelling towards the city centre. You can see information on

:13:56. > :13:58.Glasgow and you can also tap it and it will take you to different

:13:59. > :14:01.websites where you can get information on what is happdning in

:14:02. > :14:04.Glasgow and also on timetables for other services.

:14:05. > :14:07.The Prince of Wales was shown how the technology works

:14:08. > :14:10.He was obviously entertained, but there's serious business

:14:11. > :14:23.In education, it will be very big. When you do your shopping, xou will

:14:24. > :14:26.see it in stores. Almost evdry sector of everyday life it hs going

:14:27. > :14:30.to touch. This innovation's part

:14:31. > :14:39.of a fast`moving industry Augmented reality is a big growth

:14:40. > :14:42.area. This is not the only company to capitalise on that potential but

:14:43. > :14:45.it is at the forefront of an emerging business opportunity.

:14:46. > :14:50.New claims from a former he`d of social services linking our region

:14:51. > :14:56.to an alleged paedophile network at the heart of the establishment.

:15:00. > :15:03.We drop in on the fledgling peregrine falcon

:15:04. > :15:10.And what connects the University of Gloucestershire with athletes

:15:11. > :15:25.Teenage pregnancies and sextally transmitted diseases are thhngs we

:15:26. > :15:28.would all rather not think `bout ` especially when it comes to

:15:29. > :15:32.But like it or not, teenagers are thinking about people they fancy.

:15:33. > :15:37.As part of our Midlands Tomorrow series, we sent Noreen Khan

:15:38. > :15:46.from the BBC's Asian Network to a successful project that encourages

:15:47. > :15:56.the fight against unwanted pregnancies and sexually tr`nsmitted

:15:57. > :16:00.I went along to a session in the city called Be Savvy, which

:16:01. > :16:02.encourages youngsters to thhnk carefully about safe sex and the

:16:03. > :16:20.Like, relationships and young people, because I don't think, young

:16:21. > :16:24.girls especially, are aware of the things they can pick up frol it

:16:25. > :16:25.Even in 2014, talking about sex is tricky.

:16:26. > :16:29.I think parents need to realise that some of their children are having

:16:30. > :16:31.sexual relationships, even `t 1 and 16, they should realise we will

:16:32. > :16:36.Friends and people feel pressure to have sex at an early age and lose

:16:37. > :16:42.Do you feel a lot of pressure from the media, from social

:16:43. > :16:47.networking sites, from peers that you should be out there havhng sex?

:16:48. > :16:52.Yes, a lot of the music viddos now are talking about sex, even

:16:53. > :16:58.in videos it is really reve`ling, girls walk around half naked.

:16:59. > :17:03.That is a big impact for us, you have to live with that, that is

:17:04. > :17:08.For girls, it makes them feel they havd to look

:17:09. > :17:12.like that, or act in a cert`in way to get a boy's attention.

:17:13. > :17:19.Someone like Miley Cyrus went from having a good image, from bding

:17:20. > :17:32.What do you want to say to `dults that think young people shotldn t be

:17:33. > :17:34.thinking about sex, let alone be talking about ht,

:17:35. > :17:39.If they think back to what they were doing at that age, thex were

:17:40. > :17:46.At a younger age, 14, peopld think they know what love is.

:17:47. > :17:51.I don't think they should commit themselves at 14,

:17:52. > :17:58.Even for me, as a grown`up, the subject of sex can be awkward,

:17:59. > :18:01.but perhaps we all need to think about the language we are using

:18:02. > :18:03.when talking about sex and how we inform the next

:18:04. > :18:08.Just like the birds and the bees, this is

:18:09. > :18:19.And if you've got a story about what it's like to be xoung

:18:20. > :18:22.and growing up in the Midlands, then we want to hear from you.

:19:30. > :19:34.that is how things have movdd on, and moved on from 100 mile

:19:35. > :19:43.They are not my cup of tea, I prefer Second World War ahrcraft.

:19:44. > :19:45.But any aircraft generally, but if I had a priority,

:19:46. > :19:51.Anything up to the Second World War is mine.
