:00:22. > :00:26.abusing boys for 38 years. He has no care for the people he has hurt over
:00:27. > :00:32.the years. We'll talk to thd IPCC which is now investigating. Also
:00:33. > :00:42.tonight: Too heavy to cross. HGVs and even fire engines can't use this
:00:43. > :00:49.bridge to get to a village. If anybody is trapped in a house over
:00:50. > :00:57.here, their chances of survhval shrink. Shamshee finally retnited
:00:58. > :01:00.with his father. On the eve of the chocolate festival, we meet the
:01:01. > :01:05.chocolate scientists who's dnsured her taste buds for a million pounds.
:01:06. > :01:09.And, will the weather be solething to brighten the weekend? Evdn if
:01:10. > :01:19.it's not, Longbridge might just have the answer. More details later.
:01:20. > :01:21.It was the ultimate betrayal of trust.
:01:22. > :01:24.A former West Midlands Police officer is behind bars
:01:25. > :01:29.and an independent investig`tion is under way into the force itself

:01:35. > :01:41.Police Sergeant Allan Richards, now 54, was investigated twhce
:01:42. > :01:45.by his own force more than ` decade ago, but wasn't charged.
:01:46. > :01:49.In a moment we'll be talking to the Independent Police Complaints

:02:00. > :02:03.The man who abused vulnerable boys for decades. He should have been
:02:04. > :02:07.someone they could trust. A scout leader and police sergeant. His
:02:08. > :02:10.first victim was just eight years old when he was sexually assaulted
:02:11. > :02:13.in the 1970s but he was onlx contacted by police 40 years later.
:02:14. > :02:18.As soon as the police said they wanted to talk to me about `n
:02:19. > :02:23.incident or a possible incident when I was in the Cubs it was like
:02:24. > :02:27.opening up Pandora's Box, everything came flooding back. Allan Rhchards
:02:28. > :02:31.was a policeman in central Birmingham for many years, working
:02:32. > :02:35.as a custody officer here. He even lure add victim to the stathon. West
:02:36. > :02:39.Midlands Police could have stopped Richards twice. In the 2000 and
:02:40. > :02:44.again four years later, but he wasn't charged. The scouts sacked
:02:45. > :02:50.him, the police moved him to a desk job, he kept diaries which detailed
:02:51. > :02:54.his victims. Detectives onlx found them when he retired after ` third
:02:55. > :02:59.investigation. A lot has ch`nged in UK policing in the last ten, 15
:03:00. > :03:02.years where we take a wide view in relation to investigations rather
:03:03. > :03:06.than just dealing with what is in front of us. Despite overwhdlming
:03:07. > :03:10.evidence, he pleaded not guhlty forcing his victims to come to court
:03:11. > :03:17.and relive their abuse. He knows he's guilty like we all do. So he
:03:18. > :03:21.still has no concern or card about any of the people that he's hurt
:03:22. > :03:24.over the years. So I don't think he should be allowed the opportunity to
:03:25. > :03:29.hurt anybody else. Liftards is already in custody and
:03:30. > :03:31.can expect to be given a lengthy jail term when sentenced next month

:03:35. > :03:37.investigation is now under way into West Midlands Police's handling
:03:38. > :03:40.of the Richards case. Derrick Campbell is the Inddpendent
:03:41. > :03:44.Police Complaints Commissioner, we heard the force could have
:03:45. > :03:48.stopped Richards twice in 2000, and 2004 but he wasn't charged,
:03:49. > :04:00.will you be looking at why Our investigation will look at all
:04:01. > :04:04.angles. We have had a referral that deals with complaints and it will be
:04:05. > :04:11.looked at robustly and transparently. Do you think Richards
:04:12. > :04:16.felt he was untouchable as ` police officer and that's why he got away
:04:17. > :04:20.with it for so longer? I thhnk there is a sad reality that peopld who
:04:21. > :04:24.wear uniform on occasions sdem to think they are untouchable but it's
:04:25. > :04:28.important for the public to be reassured and to feel confident that
:04:29. > :04:32.there are proper checks and balances in place, the force need to ensure
:04:33. > :04:36.they have the right culprit and methods in place to deal with these.
:04:37. > :04:40.Our investigation will look into this. So you don't think thd public
:04:41. > :04:45.might have lost trust with the force after this case? The public will
:04:46. > :04:48.rightly be concerned, they should be reassured that the justice system
:04:49. > :04:52.does work because this terrhble predator is now hopfully gohng to be
:04:53. > :04:56.put behind bears for a long time. In regards to the Police Service, they
:04:57. > :05:00.are an effective force. Where we do have failings, it's up to
:05:01. > :05:02.organisations like us to hold them accountable and to understand what
:05:03. > :05:05.has gone wrong. Thank you very much.
:05:06. > :05:08.People in Warwickshire say lives are being put at risk

:05:12. > :05:16.Farmers in Marston Jabbett, near Bedworth, are also angry
:05:17. > :05:19.as the ban on heavy vehicles is making it almost impossible
:05:20. > :05:21.to transport livestock and produce from their land.
:05:22. > :05:36.It's really frustrating bec`use this is our income. It's stuck in this
:05:37. > :05:42.shed. Over 2,000 tonnes of grain are sitting on Nigel's farm at Larston
:05:43. > :05:46.Jabbatt. This is group one `nd it should be up in Liverpool now made
:05:47. > :05:48.into bread. Part of the reason the grain trucks aren't coming to his
:05:49. > :05:53.farm is because the railway bridge at the end of the road has ` 12 foot
:05:54. > :05:58.height restriction. The othdr reason is this 200-year-old bridge at the
:05:59. > :06:02.other end of the lane. The County Council's just decided its current
:06:03. > :06:06.ten tonne weight restriction should drop to just three. We symp`thise
:06:07. > :06:12.are the plight of businesses that might be affected by this, but the
:06:13. > :06:16.politic safety is paramount. It s going to impact hugely on the
:06:17. > :06:19.running of my farm business. I can't continue to trade unless I can sell
:06:20. > :06:24.migraine and produce off thd farm and the only way I can move it off
:06:25. > :06:27.the farm is via this canal bridge. It's not just people's livelihoods
:06:28. > :06:31.that will be affected by thd weight restrictions. People living around
:06:32. > :06:36.here tell me they're worried about what will happen in an emergency
:06:37. > :06:44.wean 12-tonne fire engine ndeds to go this way. It will have to go
:06:45. > :06:50.around the long way so it's basically everything. If anxbody is
:06:51. > :06:56.Franced in a building, their chances of survival will be reduced -- if

:08:07. > :08:11.years when I see my father, I was really glad, I was really h`ppy it
:08:12. > :08:20.was like a dream to me. He says I'm very happy, verx happy
:08:21. > :08:24.my son is with me. This was Shamsheer last week talking to an
:08:25. > :08:28.emotional lily Allen at the camp known as the Jungle. A police he's
:08:29. > :08:35.delighted to have left. What are you going to do? The jungle is not like
:08:36. > :08:40.for a human, the jungle is only like for an animal. Lily Allen's apology
:08:41. > :08:47.angered some. Others decried Britain's treatment of the ligrant

:08:59. > :09:04.said I try my best for Shamsheer to be educated and go high and high and

:10:55. > :10:58.I get welled up thinking about what they've done to our greatest club.
:10:59. > :11:02.It's been brought to its kndes. We want the owners to sell up `nd leave
:11:03. > :11:07.as they have no love for our club. It's a couple of years sincd the

:11:12. > :11:15.got worse. Life long fan Sttart Craner has flown back from @merica,
:11:16. > :11:20.he's so angry at the club's plight, he's chosen to miss the match and

:11:30. > :11:33.that respect that I'm here, I'm able to go but it's more important I
:11:34. > :11:39.stand shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow supporters and make the noise
:11:40. > :11:42.that we want SISU to move ott. Fans have a right to voice their opinion.
:11:43. > :11:47.I have no moans and groans `bout what they are doing, all I'l saying
:11:48. > :11:52.is it would be nice for the team and for everyone that wants that opinion
:11:53. > :11:56.of being voiced, it would bd nice if they came into if stadium and

:13:21. > :13:24.love for her son that drives her. As students, you are in a high risk
:13:25. > :13:29.grouch. My sister had meningitis when she was born. A lot of people
:13:30. > :13:36.think, it won't happen to md or it does, or happens to someone you
:13:37. > :13:41.know. And time is vital. Getting ledical
:13:42. > :13:45.attention quickly could be the difference between life-and,death.
:13:46. > :13:51.People either lose their lives to it completely. There's the effdct of

:14:36. > :14:39.are in serious decline in Staffordshire, according
:14:40. > :14:42.to a report published today. The county's Wildlife Trust spent 12
:14:43. > :14:45.months compiling a study of nature. It says increasing demands
:14:46. > :14:48.on the landscape are taking their toll and collective action
:14:49. > :15:03.is needed to improve Doxey marshes in Stafford, ` new
:15:04. > :15:06.meandering river course is being created, it's better for wildlife
:15:07. > :15:11.than the existing channel which was modified by man. The builders of a
:15:12. > :15:15.nearby relief road are being forced to do this work and make more
:15:16. > :15:20.wetlands for Wading birds. Usually when we are doing a road, it
:15:21. > :15:23.damages wildlife, but this hs a marvellous scheme. We are going to
:15:24. > :15:30.improve the habitat for the wildlife. Staffordshire Wildlife
:15:31. > :15:35.Trust says this work is vit`l. It's published a report showing lany
:15:36. > :15:41.habitats and species are declining. A lot of wetlands have been drained
:15:42. > :15:44.and the trend is that a lot of species have struggled, espdcially
:15:45. > :15:48.since the Industrial Revolution The report suggests we need to work in
:15:49. > :15:54.partnership to redress the balance. The report makes grim reading in
:15:55. > :16:01.places. Only a third of sitds of special scientific interest are said
:16:02. > :16:05.to be in a favourable condition Many species, including bees,
:16:06. > :16:09.butterflies and mall malls like the water vole and dormice, are
:16:10. > :16:13.described as being in long-term decline. Creating the right
:16:14. > :16:22.conditions is a priority. That is what the Wildlife Trust is Lanning
:16:23. > :16:27.to do here near Lichfield. Ht's rare heath land here. We are going to end
:16:28. > :16:32.up with woodland here and wd'd lose the heath land completely which
:16:33. > :16:37.means we'd lose the important wildlife like the butterflids and
:16:38. > :16:39.invertebrates. Conservation is hope their report will help make nature a
:16:40. > :16:42.priority. Tractors made in the Midlands more
:16:43. > :16:45.than fifty years ago are now driving an agricultural
:16:46. > :16:47.revolution in Africa. The iconic Massey Ferguson
:16:48. > :16:51.tractors are being sold to dealers in Sudan,
:16:52. > :16:54.where they are used It all started in Coventry,
:16:55. > :16:58.with the little grey Fergie, as our Rural affairs correspondent
:16:59. > :17:11.David Gregory-Kumar reports. Most tractors don't have a birthday
:17:12. > :17:15.party, let alone a parade that brings the city centre to a stand
:17:16. > :17:20.still. If you ask me what the beating heart of Coventry chty, the
:17:21. > :17:26.motor city really is. It's not a flashy jag or a 4 X 4, it's this,
:17:27. > :17:32.the Ferguson TE 020, the Little grey Fergie. It's the tractor th`t Edmund
:17:33. > :17:36.Hillary took to the South Pole. It's a collectible, a star of its own
:17:37. > :17:43.children's Conservative show and has its own theme park ride in Norway.
:17:44. > :17:48.And this is the site of the former Ferguson factory at Banner Lane in
:17:49. > :17:54.Coventry. So 70 years ago, the little grey Fergie was being built,
:17:55. > :17:58.then on Christmas Eve, 2002, the factory here closed its doors for
:17:59. > :18:02.the very last time. And now, as you can see, it's a housing est`te. The
:18:03. > :18:06.tractors they made here, thd ones that came after the little grey
:18:07. > :18:12.Fergie, well they are still working hard in the fields, not just here,
:18:13. > :18:16.but all over the world. A tractor sale outside Cambridgeshire. These
:18:17. > :18:23.tractors are the direct descendants of the little grey Fergie. Lany of
:18:24. > :18:27.the buyers today are from the Sudan, Hamsa has bought over 150 tractors
:18:28. > :18:34.here over the years. Why do people like them? Because they use it for
:18:35. > :18:40.really, really, really long time, they can work 24 hours in one go.
:18:41. > :18:45.That's true apparently. In the Sudan, tractor drivers do 24-hour
:18:46. > :18:52.shifts, one sleeps while thd other drives, then they swap over and the
:18:53. > :18:56.Massey Ferguson just keeps going. You see the tractor here, it's old,
:18:57. > :19:02.it will be refurbished. If xou see the job they do on it, I don't think
:19:03. > :19:05.the person would believe it. The fact these Coventry-built tractors
:19:06. > :19:09.are still working and working hard, it's a tribute to the craftsmanship
:19:10. > :19:14.and the engineering that went into them. No wonder they inspird so much
:19:15. > :19:15.passion. You can trace everxthing right back to the little grdy
:19:16. > :19:35.Fergie. This weekend sees Birminghal's
:19:36. > :19:37.first chocolate festival, but just imagine a job wherd you're
:19:38. > :19:40.actually paid to eat Well that's what Hayleigh Ctrtis
:19:41. > :19:44.does in her role as a chocolate What's more her taste buds
:19:45. > :19:48.are so precious they've been insured Hayleigh Curtis might just
:19:49. > :19:56.have the best job in the world. You have the smoothness, thd
:19:57. > :20:09.caramel, then the sharpness. Hayley is a chocolate speci`list,
:20:10. > :20:14.creating new chocolate bars and making sure they taste yummx. Some
:20:15. > :20:17.of the best work has come from the strangest combinations, thex just
:20:18. > :20:22.tend to work. If you don't overthink things, that's when you get the
:20:23. > :20:26.magic. Can I have a go? Yes, that's what we are here for isn't ht?
:20:27. > :20:42.With so many choices, I didn't know where to start or end.
:20:43. > :20:51.I wouldn't put that in Dairx Milk, but feel free to try it. So
:20:52. > :20:54.important are Hayley's tastd buds, they've been ensured by Lloxds of
:20:55. > :20:59.London for ?1 million. In the policy, there are a few things. I
:21:00. > :21:04.can't become a magician's assistant because that might involve sword
:21:05. > :21:08.swallowing and also I've got to be careful with spicy food, so over a
:21:09. > :21:11.certain level, I can't eat that because it would damage the taste
:21:12. > :21:18.buds. But Birmingham's the home of the curry so I still have a korma
:21:19. > :21:22.every now and then. With thd kitchen working their magic, it was time to
:21:23. > :21:25.see if my creation would pass the test with the very expensivd taste

:24:13. > :24:23.Factory'. Our festival director is Cl`ire

:24:51. > :24:54.Longbridge isn't it? It is, yes What makes this so special hs so
:24:55. > :24:58.many of the artists, there `re over 35 from Birmingham, the UK, Germany,
:24:59. > :25:03.America, and so many of thel have been working with community groups
:25:04. > :25:08.and local schools to shape, inform and create the work. What is your
:25:09. > :25:13.favourite bit? I really can't answer that. I think the most spechal part
:25:14. > :25:16.about the festival is the community involvement in shaping and hnforming
:25:17. > :25:20.the work. Thank you very much. It's all taking place tomorrow nhght
:25:21. > :25:25.it's of course all free. If you are coming down, I would suggest that
:25:26. > :25:29.you bring a coat because it's certainly feeling rather autumnal
:25:30. > :25:32.through the next few days. We still have the Scandinavian high blocking
:25:33. > :25:37.things off, keeping things calm this weekend. It will be mostly dry.
:25:38. > :25:41.We've got a nagging weather system sitting on the East Coast. @s the
:25:42. > :25:46.wind direction changes, we could see a few spots of rain, but it will be
:25:47. > :25:50.largely dry and feeling chilly as we head through the next few d`ys.
:25:51. > :25:53.Overnight, we have a bit of cloud cover, clear spells mostly hn the
:25:54. > :25:57.west and where we get those, it s going to be chilly. We see the
:25:58. > :26:01.temperatures dipping Don to a possible four Celsius, that's the
:26:02. > :26:05.temperature in the towns and cities. In the countryside, it will be lower
:26:06. > :26:09.than that. We could even sed a frost. We are likely to get mist and
:26:10. > :26:12.fog patches developing as wdll. Tomorrow, there is going to be mist
:26:13. > :26:16.and fog around through the start of the day. Then we start to sde a
:26:17. > :26:19.little bit of sunshine coming out. That will start to break up the
:26:20. > :26:25.cloud. Hazy sunshine through the start of the morning but it's going
:26:26. > :26:29.to start to brighten up. We've got that weather system though sitting
:26:30. > :26:33.out to the east of the country, threatening us with a few spots of
:26:34. > :26:37.rain. Temperatures getting tp to a possible 13, so it will feel OK in
:26:38. > :26:42.the sunshine. We have an easterly breeze which will take the ddge off
:26:43. > :26:47.temperatures. Tomorrow, it's very similar so tonight. We'll h`ve a few
:26:48. > :26:51.spots of cloud here or therd, a few clear spells and where we gdt the
:26:52. > :26:56.clear spells, we are going to see temperatures plummet to thrde or
:26:57. > :26:59.four Celsius. Mist and fog patches will develop as well. For Stnday,
:27:00. > :27:03.it's going to be similar to tomorrow. Perhaps a bit mord cloud,
:27:04. > :27:08.a few more showers blowing hn from the east. It's going to stax largely
:27:09. > :27:13.dry, again there'll be some sunshine into the start of the new working
:27:14. > :27:16.week. High pressure hangs on for a bit longer, it will eventually
:27:17. > :27:21.change but we are staying dry this weekend but I would recommend
:27:22. > :27:25.wearing coats and thermals. Thanks Beccy. I'm back at 10. 3 .
:27:26. > :27:31.Have a great evening. Goodbxe.
