Alarm at the decision to reveal the identity | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
of anonymous whistle blowers, who gave evidence | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
They were given guarantees back in 2014 about how | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
The witnesses say they're angered by the decision | :00:14. | :00:33. | |
of the Department for Education, and are appealing against it. | :00:34. | :00:35. | |

Whistle-blowers who gave evidence to an inquiry | :01:11. | :01:26. | |
into the "Trojan Horse" scandal, involving Birmingham schools, | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
after a decision to have their identities revealed. | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
Five teachers accused of being part of a plot to impose an | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
Islamic agenda at non-faith schools, are facing professional tribunals. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
Their lawyers say they need to be able to question the individuals | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
Our Special Correspondent Peter Wilson has the details. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
The so called Trojan Horse Saga has never been out of the headlines | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
since it first emerged three years ago. | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
There have been death threats against a Birmingham headteacher, | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
of aggressive Islamist influence behind the school gates. | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
Now today recriminations over the news that the personal details | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
of witnesses who gave evidence anonymously to the Trojan inquiry | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
The witnesses came forward under strict conditions of anonymity and | :02:15. | :02:29. | |
there were guarantees back in 2014 about how their evidence would be | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
used. Those people have now been betrayed and this has implications | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
in whistle-blowing cases past, present and future. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
Peter Clarke, a former head of counter terrorism carried | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
He says he's appalled at the decision to waive anonymity. | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
Five teachers are facing a professional tribunal | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
The whistle-blowers have been sent letters | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
informing them "that the transcript of your evidence as provided | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
in the Peter Clarke investigation | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
will be disclosed to the respondent teachers." | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
We've spoken to one of the anonymous witnesses and one of the teachers | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
involved in this case, the witness says they fear if their identity is | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
widely published, both they and their family will be targeted by | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
extremists. The teacher told me that the whole Trojan Horse saga was | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
based on an anonymous letter which was likely to have been forged and | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
he claims that the anonymous witnesses were able to say whatever | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
they wanted without anything being corroborated. The association | :03:40. | :03:50. | |
representing nine of the anonymous witnesses acted quickly yesterday to | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
prevent their details being released. We would hope that the | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
assurances Peter Clarke gave would be maintained. We are three years on | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
and it seems like some of those assurances are evaporating quickly | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
and we would ensure that the enquiry is able to account for this. | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
The department of education tonight said that the tribunal hearings | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
into the five teachers cases must be fair and correct - | :04:20. | :04:22. | |

Fears are growing for a Worcestershire man | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
The family of 55-year-old Stephen Woolley | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
have mounted their own searches and appealed online | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
but there's been no sighting of Stephen since early December. | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
Carol Woolley tries to keep busy, but it's hard. | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
Her husband Stephen disappeared 28 days ago - | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
It's just the uncertainty, physically feeling sick and tired | :04:52. | :05:02. | |
not knowing what the day is going to bring, hoping today is the day that | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
we get some news. Whether it be good or bad, at least we would know what | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
we are dealing with. Stephen left | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
the family home in Kidderminster Half an hour later | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
he was at Holt Fleet on the River Severn, | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
north of Worcester, He's a keen walker and his family's | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
organised search parties in the area There is concern though | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
about his state of mind. Last year was a hard one for the | :05:29. | :05:37. | |
family and Stephen who has suffered depression in the past was suffering | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
difficulty trying to cope with the death of his sister. My heart of | :05:45. | :05:53. | |
hearts says that he's not going to come back. I hope he is but the days | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
go on, I feel the less likely it is. Stephen joined Kidderminster | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
male voice choir last year and sang to raise | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
funds for the hospice Matt's on social media | :06:05. | :06:06. | |

the simplest Steve, if you are out there, we love | :06:15. | :06:26. | |
you. There is nothing we can't cope with. We just want to hear from you | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
and we want you home. Police have been | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
out on the river in boats but say without a positive sighting | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
there's little more they can do. For the family the search goes on - | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
and so too the waiting. A jury has heard how a 20-year-old | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
Warwickshire woman became the victim by a former boyfriend | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
and his partner. at a flat in | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
Stratford Upon Avon last year. Jack Williams and | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Kayleigh Woods deny her murder. Joan Cummins | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
has been in court today. Joan, what have you heard | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
about Bethany today? We were told that Bethany was a | :06:56. | :07:09. | |
troubled girl. She'd dropped out of college, she used to self harm but | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
she was very much loved by her extended family in nearby Bedford on | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
Avon. The jury were told she'd had a very brief relationship with Jack | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
Williams but with tragic consequences, she'd then introduced | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
him to her transgender friend Kaylee Woods with whom she was hoping to | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
have a baby. The prosecution said that the relation between all three | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
was corrugated and often volatile. Did we learn more about the specific | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
circumstances leading up to her death? We were told that Kayleigh | :07:47. | :07:58. | |
made a call to a police last year saying that Bethany had committed | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
suicide however, a postmortem revealed that she'd been bound, | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
gagged and her jugular vein had been severed. The prosecution said that | :08:11. | :08:23. | |
this had been a killing motivated by perverted pleasure. He said that the | :08:24. | :08:33. | |
evidence needed to be considered calmly. The trial is expected to | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
last four weeks. A loaded gun has been found hidden | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
in a toilet roll holder Police removed the weapon | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
after it was discovered in the lavatories at House of Fraser | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
on Monday evening. The gun has been made safe | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
and is being forensically examined. Part of West Bromwich High Street | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
is still closed this evening after a major fire broke out | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
in a Caribbean restaurant. Firefighters used an hydraulic | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
platform to tackle the blaze Flats above the restaurant | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
were evacuated. Officers are continuing to | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
investigate the cause of the fire. It has been a very severe fire | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
affecting the whole of the ground floor and up into the flat above | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
and, also, the structure is unstable now so it's quite dangerous | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
for people to go inside, so we're getting structural advice to make | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
sure we can do that safely. the world's most punctual airport | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
in 2016 by air travel | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
intelligence company OAG. It found that more than 90% | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
of flights from the airport arrived Over the past ten years | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
Birmingham has invested ?350m to improve the airport | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
infrastructure and is working on a further one million pound | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
development project to improve A trauma surgeon at the Queen | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham is one of the founders | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
of CitizenAID, a new scheme designed | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
to offer advice and training in case they're caught up | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
in a terrorist attack. Professor Sir Keith Porter | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
says learning first aid skills, like how to deal | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
with severe bleeding could save lives | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
before the paramedics arrive. Sir Keith has spent the last few | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
years dealing with soldiers who've suffered terrible and traumatic | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
injuries in Afghanistan and Iraq and joins me now | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
in the studio, Sir Keith - We've created this simple system of | :10:20. | :10:34. | |
actions the public can perform should they be caught up in a | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
shooting, a bomb or similar incident. They can administer care | :10:38. | :10:45. | |
at the same time as remaining safe. Is it overly dramatic to prepare the | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
public for terror attacks? You only have to look at events of the last | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
few months that we are fortunate that the UK has not been involved. A | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
senior commissioner of the Metropolitan Police has said it is | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
not if but when. We are not alarming the public. When an incident | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
happens, people don't know what to do. This provides them with a system | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
so then they can go through a system of examination and treatment. What | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
kind of difference could this training make? We know from military | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
training, it's been responsible for saving many lives. And you've gained | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
the experience in this area from the work you have done at the Queen | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. That's correct. Myself and partners | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
in the military know that this is an effective way. The most important | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
thing is controlling major external bleeding early on. In the first | :11:51. | :11:59. | |
instance, the emergency services aren't immediately going to be | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
present in a terrorist attack so we are riding on the public to help. | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
I'm absolutely confident that this will help people. | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
If you hit the sales in the past week, | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
then you probably got caught up in a big crowd. | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
And it's pretty frustrating when you end up separated | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
But what's the best way to find them again? | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
Well scientists at the University of Warwick have the answers. | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
Here's Science Correspondent David Gregory-Kumar with the results. | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
First we need to build somewhere to test this theory about crowds. | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
This German market in Birmingham will do nicely. | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
The big question is if A goes off to get beers | :12:41. | :12:53. | |
what's the best way for B to find him in the crowds? | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
To gain a good idea of which Chatterjee is best, I did it 100,000 | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
times. -- which strategy. Well, at the University | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
of Warwick this statistician The best way to find them is to | :13:10. | :13:19. | |
actively seek them out and not wait around. | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
Nathan has run 100,000 simulations with lost virtual people | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
trying to find one another in a crowd. | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
So if the best method is for A and B to actively search for the other. | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
How much time could this method save you vesus searches where one | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
It depends on the size of the venue. At larger venues, it can be an extra | :13:34. | :13:47. | |
50% of the time, maybe at a weekend long festival that might be too much | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
time to spend. So if you lose your friends | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
in a crowd start searching You could find each other | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
in half the time it could take if one of you | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
stands still and waits. David Gregory-Kumar | :14:02. | :14:03. | |

one of the Midlands most popular countryside spots | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
was donated to the National Trust. Kinver Edge on the Staffordshire | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
and Worcestershire border was given to the Trust | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
during the First World War. Now a songwriter who pens hits | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
for stars, including Cliff Richard and Nicole Kidman's husband - | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
singer Keith Urban, has written | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
a tune about Kinver Edge - recalling his happy childhood | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
memories. With neverending views, Kinver Edge | :15:11. | :15:11. | |
in South Staffordshire has been a place to escape and | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
enjoy for generations of families. The National Trust has been looking | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
after this place for one injured years now and a whole series of | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
events are planned to celebrate the centenary. -- for 100 years. | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
From his home studio on the outskirts of Kinver village | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
famous songwriter Chris Eaton has written On Kinver Edge - | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
Better known for writing the Christmas number one | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
Saviour's Day and a host of hits for the likes of Cliff Richard, | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
Chris divides his time between America and Kinver - | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
I've got fantastic memories of walking on the edge, it's always | :15:58. | :16:10. | |
meant a lot to me to have a sense of peace and find myself again, if you | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
like. It's a beautiful song. It paints a picture of the gift, really | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
that we've been given with Kinver Edge. | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
Carved into the sandstone, the rock houses | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
on Kinver Edge were occupied until the 1950s. | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
Outside Kidderminster, a woman and four children live in a cave... | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
Today the rock houses are a museum attraction, | :16:38. | :16:39. | |
but in days gone by the people living here would make the most | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
of tram loads of tourists who'd escaped the city smog for fresh air. | :16:43. | :16:50. | |
They were very entrepreneurial and they used to sell them tea, cake and | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
scones and even charge them to use the toilet. | :16:59. | :16:59. | |
Sue Wright's ancestors donated 200 acres of land to the National Trust | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
in the midst of the First World War 100 years ago. | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
The gift was from her wealthy grandfather Oliver Lee - | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
The handover referred to the fact that this was going to be a dream | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
long for the toiling masses of the people of the Black Country. It | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
sounds very paternalistic these days but it is something that everyone | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
can enjoy moving out of our cities. When it's released later this year | :17:24. | :17:27. | |

and in football transfer news Aston Villa have sold the striker | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
Rudy Gestede to Middlesbrough. The Premier League club | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
have paid around ?6m for the forward who scored ten goals | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
in 55 games for Villa. His replacement at Villa Park | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
could be another Boro striker Jordan Rhodes, who's been linked | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
with a move to the Midlands. Elsewhere, Stoke City have completed | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
the signing of the goalkeeper Lee Grant from Derby today | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
for just over a million pounds. But the Manager Mark Hughes says | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
striker Peter Crouch will not be | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
sold in the January transfer window. Perhaps not such a surprise | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
as the former England striker helped the Potters beat Watford last night | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
with his second goal in two games. On a cold night in the Potteries | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
the Stoke City fans were looking for a performance | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
to warm their bones and hearts. Five matches without a win, ten | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
goals conceded in the last three, above the relegation | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
zone before kick off. And for a while this looked | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
like another frustrating night Then with virtually the final kick | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
of the first half, Ryan Shawcross scoring | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
his first goal for the club in two years to lift | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
the spirits around the stadium. Charlie Adam had created that goal | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
and he was also the provider Peter Crouch had scored his first | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
league goal of the season at Chelsea in their New Year's Eve defeat | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
but this time his intervention would confirm a vital three points | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
and Crouch's continued worth His attributes and ability to affect | :18:59. | :19:08. | |
games hasn't changed. He's getting on in years, he's probably coming | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
towards the end of his career, he knows that. I haven't seen any | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
diminishing of his qualities at all. No doubt, he'd be coveted by other | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
teams who can see the qualities he as but he is very valued here so he | :19:26. | :19:26. | |
won't be going anywhere. Jonathan Walters | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
did have a late chance to make it three but this was a satisfying | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
enough night for Stoke and their fans as they moved up to eleventh | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
in the Premier League table. Now, he's spent a lifetime dedicated | :19:35. | :19:37. | |

Francisco. The year before, he was running across the Sahara desert and | :20:45. | :20:55. | |
we can't forget his race in seven days across seven continents. How is | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
this going to compere? It's going to be fantastic. It's going to keep us | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
focused for the year. We kick off in Edinburgh on Saturday and we finish | :21:07. | :21:11. | |

the New Year resolution to run and get fit, maybe you want to take a | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
leaf out of Dave's book. A bit much for me. Thanks very much. | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
It has a safe, a shredder, a fridge and a mini bar. | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
Not the interior of an office - but a car. | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
You'll have gathered this isn't an ordinary saloon - | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
it's a cadillac which was once owned by the President-elect Donald Trump. | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
It's now the prized possession of Craig Eyres, | :22:38. | :22:39. | |
a mechanic from Gloucester, who has restored it | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
Tracey Miller has been to take a look: | :22:42. | :22:53. | |
This is major billing, 80s style. Designed and made for one of the | :22:54. | :23:02. | |
world's most famous billionaires. Hi there. Hi, Donald. Thanks, Donald, | :23:03. | :23:11. | |
for the left. It's not Donald really. Your friend owns this car. | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
It was actually made for Donald Trump. It was made for him. There | :23:18. | :23:30. | |
were 52 of them. Two were made as prototypes and the rest were never | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
ordered. What's in here? It's got all the things you would have in a | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
mobile office. It's got a shredder, a safe, ... Besides the safe, | :23:41. | :23:50. | |
there's a TV and video recorder. A fridge for ice and a specially | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
designed drink dispenser, it will give you gin, vodka, whatever you | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
fancy from the bottles in the boot. The car was 30 years old and a wreck | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
when it was bored. We have got it together over the last nine years. | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
It wasn't bought for any other reason than he just liked the | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
Cadillac. It has more sentimental value to him than anything else. | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
It's an amazing piece. A little piece of history. That's the | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
telephone. Can I answer it? Hello. I think its the White House for you. | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
The limo is still a smooth run about its previous owner is now off to run | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
the United States. Tracey Miller, Gloucester. I feel the need shoulder | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
pads! Just before we get the forecast, | :24:47. | :24:48. | |
it's congratulations The 19-year-old has earned fourth | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
place on the BBC Sound of 2017 list, which showcases the best | :24:52. | :25:04. | |
new talent for the year ahead. Jorja | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
released her first track a year ago. But - she's not signed | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
to a label yet and still works If you're not a fan of the cold | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
weather, you'd better look away now. Shefali is here with news | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
of freezing temperatures. Today we had varying degrees of | :25:20. | :25:32. | |
cloud but the general trend was to clearing skies. That is a sign of | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
things to come. Much colder conditions to come in contrast with | :25:37. | :25:47. | |
today's very mild conditions. At Gloucester, 10 Celsius recorded. | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
This is the current situation. High pressure in charge for to light and | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
tomorrow. Colder air feeding in from the North. These fronts starting to | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
move in from the Atlantic bringing some heavy rain. Also, milder | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
conditions which will persist through the weekend. Mostly dry, | :26:08. | :26:16. | |
mild but cloudy. More cloud the further west you, brighter skies to | :26:17. | :26:25. | |
east. Perhaps the odd spot of rain. Tonight, the blue colours are | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
starting to invade across all of the region. A sharp frost as | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
temperatures plummet to about minus five Celsius across the south-west | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
of the region. In the Laurel areas, with a moderate breeze, you could | :26:42. | :26:52. | |
get down to minus eight Celsius. Very little moisture so there should | :26:53. | :27:00. | |
be mainly clear skies so we could see some icy stretches. Tomorrow | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
morning, we start on a frosty note. It's going to be dry and sunny. | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
Frost gradually starting to ease and disappear. Temperatures. All to | :27:13. | :27:20. | |
2-3 C. Frost forming very quickly. It's not going to be called. A front | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
approaching from the West introducing more cloud lifting | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
temperatures as we head into Friday morning. The rain arrives for Friday | :27:33. | :27:33. | |
afternoon. Joanne Malin will be | :27:34. | :27:36. | |

Venice and Florence. It's like we're walking through | :27:42. | :27:55. | |
a giant's armpit. We can follow the escape route | :27:56. | :27:57. | |
of Michelangelo. Mildred is our first student | :27:58. | :28:05. | |
