All clear for a Warwickshird hospital, a year after it w`s put | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
into special measures over concerns about death rates. | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
The staff in the organisation have worked so had to get us out of | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
special measures. We are confident about the quality of care provided. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |

Prince William in Coventry, marking the sacrifice | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
Awesome. It was so cool. We had never seen him in the person. | :00:32. | :00:41. | |

Just announced ` the top songs that best represent | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
Given that we only had an afternoon to do it, it was difficult. So we | :00:48. | :01:01. | |
had to be pretty brutal, to be honest. | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
And with warnings of heatwaves and thunderstorms, it could all go | :01:04. | :01:06. | |

A hospital in Warwickshire has been taken out of special measurds a year | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
The George Eliot in Nuneaton was criticised over levels of c`re | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
It was one of a number of NHS trusts which were inspected in the wake | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
Our health correspondent Michele Paduano is here now. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
Absolutely. Improvements at the George Eliot Hospital and other | :01:39. | :01:50. | |
hospitals around the countrx were today described by the Health | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
Secretary Jeremy Hunt as encouraging progress. | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
But Burton Hospital in Staffordshire tonight remains in special leasures, | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
so it's not a completely clean bill of health. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
89`year`old Ruby Chambers had cancer. | :02:02. | :02:02. | |
Last July, she was left in `gony at the George Eliot Hospital. | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
Her daughter, a doctor who ran an NHS trust, | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
says her mum went into hosphtal on morphine but was given paracetamol. | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
Ruby wasn't seen by a medic for two days. | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
She was crying out in pain and distress | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
And it seemed that nobody rdally cared about this elderly lady. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
And their response was that she needed to be in a side ward so that | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
This dementia and frail elddrly ward was started just six months ago | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
It concentrates medical expdrtise, and as far as 81`year`old N`ncy | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
I've only been here a coupld of days but they have looked | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
The George Eliot Hospital no longer has high death rates. | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
In this 41`bed assessment unit, patients are seen and diagnosed | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
It has also meant the acciddnt and emergency department is working | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
I think the staff in the organisation have worked so hard | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
We are really confident now in terms of the quality of care we are | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
providing and it is down to every member of the George Eliot team | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
The hospital has invested in 12 more doctors and 38 ntrses, | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
but it has also changed atthtudes and the way staff work. | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
It takes good management but it also takes money. | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
This hospital has spent ?5 lillion getting out of intensive care. | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
But with NHS finances in such a critical state, this trust's future | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
And that is an even bigger headache for the Queen's Hospital in Burton. | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
It failed to come out of special measures today. | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
The trust says its awaiting further feedback and since April has ensured | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
that immediate action was t`ken in response to any feedback. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
As for George Eliot Hospital, it is celebrating success, but accepts | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
The George Eliot has also bdnefited from support from the | :03:57. | :04:05. | |
Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, hasn't it? | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
That's right. It is a systel called by dealing and the idea is that | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
things for example like a theatre manager being sent to Georgd Eliot | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
to help them out for a year to improve processes. They havd had | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
doctors looking at death rates to see things can be done diffdrently. | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
Interestingly, the same system is supposed happened at Barton on Trent | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
at the Queen's Hospital. Thd Department of Health is intdrested | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
in this idea. Peak`time for Birmingham is in Kent today working | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
with the Medway Hospital to try and turn them around with their | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
problems. `` a team from Birmingham. Great to have you with | :04:43. | :04:47. | |

from development for ever. The Duke unveiled | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
a plaque recording its new status and paid tribute to those who had | :06:18. | :06:19. | |

by war, so they know what this park The Duke's hands`on visit | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
reflected the concept. Centenary Fields are as much | :07:18. | :07:25. | |

formed in Coventry to decidd how They decided that a park with | :07:29. | :07:40. | |
a permanent memorial was the most fitting way | :07:41. | :07:45. | |

Corporal Arthur Hutt was a guest of honour. | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
The soldier, from the Royal Warwickshire Regiment, | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
was the first from Coventry to be awarded the Victoria Cross. | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
With him being probably a more mature man to the men he was with, | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
he took over, advanced, took a trench, shot an officer and three | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
machine gunners. When he got back to the original trenches, he found out | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
there were three or four men who were injured lying out in the no | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
man's land. He went and carried four of these men back. | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
It?s an act of bravery with a sad ending. | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
Arthur's Victoria Cross is lissing, presumed stolen in the 1940s. | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
Inside the memorial is a place few get to see. | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
This room is called the chalber of silence and is only usually open | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
during Remembrance Sunday. Ht carries all the names from those in | :09:27. | :09:32. | |

War Memorial Park attracts 400, 00 visitors a year, | :09:34. | :09:35. | |

This councillor in charge of the park was keen to speak about the | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
park's significance until hd told me about his childhood antics here | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
Trying to climb up the trees was an issue. That was easy, getting down | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
was difficult. Having to get pain was difficult. Having to get pain | :10:14. | :10:24. | |
instead, tell us down. `` Mhchael Palin my parents. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |

A small group gathered in the city centre this evening, with more | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
Palestinians claim more than 17 people have been killed | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
since the Israeli air strikds began a week ago. | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
Peace`loving people across the world have come out and said we w`nt to | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
stop what is going on. It is totally unfair on civilians in Gaza who have | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
been murdered by the Israelh Government. | :11:05. | :11:05. | |
Unemployment across the Midlands has fallen oncd again. | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
It's down by 22,000 on the previous quarter. | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
There are now 202,000 peopld out of work. | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
It means 7.4% of the working population here is unemploydd. | :11:14. | :11:17. | |

Our business correspondent Peter Plisner has been findhng out. | :11:22. | :11:33. | |
Apprenticeships, OK? That is an option. What other options `re | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
there? Young people getting careers advice | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
at Wednesfield High School These pupils will be | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
the first to be required by law to remain in education or | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
training until they're 18. It gives you more opportunities to | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
get more knowledge about thhngs that you want to do when you're older. It | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
is better because you have lore time to get skills rather than ldaving at | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
16 and doing what you want to do. For those who don't want to stay | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
on for sixth form, now it?s schools and people like Matt Smallwood who | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
have to find the alternativds. There are many different options out | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
there. With the apprenticeship schemes, Mosul and the likes of | :12:10. | :12:17. | |
science, technology and maths, but also various training providers that | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
have come on board with the new Government scheme. | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
It's the next few weeks? tile, he'll start working at | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
In an apprenticeship, you are living on the job and gain experience that | :12:31. | :12:40. | |
someone at university might not be getting. Here they take on five | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
apprentices every year and for the past two years, they have bden | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
school leavers. They are also encouraged to study for a ddgree | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
whilst they are working. Thd links with schools and essential because | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
local schools have our future employees. We have links with them | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
because we can recruit the best people and we need the best people | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
here who we will train for the future of our business. | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
And for those for whom sixth form or apprenticeships aren't right, | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
there's help in the shape of special training providers | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
Most of the schools encourage children to become more confident, | :13:16. | :13:31. | |
look at timekeeping, make stre they are more confident and have good | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
communication skills. And look at getting them ready for employment. | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
In the past, for many, leaving school and being undmployed | :13:39. | :13:40. | |

The man at the centre of thd of the alleged Trojan Horse school | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
takeover plot in Birmingham has told Midlands Today he's been unfairly | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
Tahir Alam was, until yesterday the chairman of | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
He's been in the spotlight since allegations surfaced about hard`line | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
Muslims trying to extend thdir influence in schools, including | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
I spoke to him earlier and began by asking him | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
For me to consider resignathon is not an easy thing because wd have | :14:15. | :14:26. | |
built success in a highly ddprived area over many years. That hs | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
something to be maintained. Why have you resigned then? This campaign | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
that we have been experienchng, which I believe is politically | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
motivated, and has lasted for five months now, we kind of reached a | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
point where we have all the Ofsted inspection reports that would see | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
our school is inadequate. Wd can test and do not accept that. Why | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
have they said it? Are very strong `` it is a very strong thing for | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
Ofsted to say. It is. Our school's results speak for itself. From our | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
point of view, that is why we have challenged that. But from mx point | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
of view, we believe the inspections were politically motivated to | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
achieve a certain outcome whthin the context of the Trojan Horse letter. | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
These inspections were jackdd up to look for extremism, radicalhsm, | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
which were not found, but nonetheless, our schools were made | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
inadequate in the process. @re you concerned they will be crithcism and | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
complaints aimed at you next week in the reports that come out? That you | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
have behaved badly and funds have been missed used? I have no idea. As | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
far as funds are concerned, they have been used extremely well and in | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
the right labour. `` right way. We are meticulous with that. That is | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
something we will not have `ny criticism or, I am very confident. | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
Can you understand the wider world's and Selma hardline Luslim is | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
trying to push their agenda into schools? `` world's fears that. | :16:03. | :16:15. | |
There may be fears about th`t. I have appointed three headte`chers, | :16:16. | :16:25. | |
all of whom have been non`Mtslims. There has been talk of head teachers | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
being sidelined and pushed out. I am not privy to those circumst`nces so | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
I cannot comment on those. Hf someone tells me who they are, I can | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
comment. You have been highly respected in Birmingham over the | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
years in education. What effect has this had on you personally hn the | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
last four months? It has bedn shocking, actually. Difficult for me | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
and my family as well. Becatse of the reputational damage that has | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
been done, I have been painted as a sinister character when in fact I | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
work very openly in education. I inspect schools, I am a school | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
governance consultant and trainer, I wait for the local authoritx. So | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
what I have done is very tr`nsparent and open. Is this the end for you in | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
education? No, I intend to continue my career in education and lake a | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
difference to the lives of children. There is more to be done. Mx own | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
personal contribution and those of my colleagues to transforming | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
schools, which in fact a lot of people could not do, and thdre are | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
scores high performing. It hs one of the highest performing schools in | :17:40. | :17:43. | |

It will not please everyone. They did not please everyone on the | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
panel. But I really do not caring that respect because it shows the | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
great diversity of the music that exists in the area. If you want to | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
give the album strapline, it would be, you know, B`Side Brum, the tip | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
of the iceberg. This and other songs are now part | :24:57. | :25:01. | |

page. `` the full list of songs Shefali, are we really headhng | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
for an official heatwave? Low pressure will be well and truly | :25:43. | :25:52. | |
in the driving seat. We havd got this frontal system swinging in from | :25:53. | :25:54. | |
the west by the end of Frid`y. On top of that, we have got very warm | :25:55. | :26:06. | |
air, represented by the scholars which will send the temperatures | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
shooting through the roof. Because of that, we have a couple of early | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
warnings. It is a heatwave from Friday through to Sunday. Bdcause of | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
those rising temperatures and unity levels, we're looking at | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
thunderstorms eking out as well `` breaking out. They will most likely | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
occur on Saturday. Compare that to tonight, and it is looking puite | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
quiet. We have a lot of clotd across the region and the band of patchy | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
light rain. There could be the odd heavy burst but it will onlx be | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
fleeting, short lived, and once it is clear, try conditions with clear | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
spells. But without residual moisture, temperatures are down to | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
about 11 Celsius and they could be some mist and fog patches along | :26:55. | :27:05. | |
low`lying areas. The sun will return. The dry day, temper`tures | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
will be hot and humid and rhsing to about 26 Celsius with light winds. | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
That continues into the evening tomorrow. And also into the first | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
part of tomorrow night, temperatures only dropping to 18 Celsius. There | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
will be some showers feeding in from the south`west to the end of the | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
night but they will disappe`r by Friday. Friday, temperatures will | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
peak at 29 Celsius and will be the hottest day of the year. If that | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
happens, we need it to be at least 28.7 Celsius. | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
