on buses in the West Midlands, in an attempt to reassure

the public, after a man was stabbed to death on a bus

:01:18.:01:20.

in Birmingham last night. The victim, who was in his 30s,

:01:29.:01:31.

in the Handsworth area of Birmingham this afternoon,

:01:32.:01:40.

police are trying to work out why a man was stabbed to death

:01:41.:01:42.

while travelling on a bus Police believe the two men

:01:43.:01:45.

didn't know each other, They say the victim

:01:46.:01:49.

was already on the bus. Further along the route, the other

man got on and sat opposite At some point, a verbal

altercation started which A knife was produced

and the victim was stabbed. When emergency services got

to Rookery Road at around a quarter to 11 last night,

:02:06.:02:08.

they found the man, a 35-year-old from Smethwick,

:02:09.:02:11.

slumped over one of the seats We know there were five people

:02:12.:02:14.

sat around with the two males on the top deck,

:02:15.:02:21.

so we managed to speak to one of the people who very

:02:22.:02:24.

kindly stayed behind. The other four people

:02:25.:02:26.

left the bus shortly It might be that they didn't realise

:02:27.:02:28.

how serious the matter was and just wanted to get out of the way,

:02:29.:02:39.

which is perfectly understandable. However, I would ask for them

:02:40.:02:42.

to come forward to speak Good afternoon,

from people living close by. You know, what happens

:02:59.:03:01.

if I'm on the bus with my children one day and then,

:03:02.:03:08.

you know, someone gets stopped? Everybody on this road,

:03:09.:03:16.

they're worried about, even for the businesses

:03:17.:03:21.

as well, you know? If you can't be safe on the bus,

where can you be safe? Police says they're looking

for a black man, aged between 25 and 30 with short dreadlocks,

in connection with the murder. He was last seen wearing a puffa

jacket, had headphones over a baseball cap and was carrying

Today, Birmingham. Worcestershire Children's Services

:03:39.:03:40.

has been rated inadequate. A report from Ofsted showed

:03:41.:03:42.

vulnerable children are at risk It's the fourth local authority

:03:43.:03:44.

in the West Midlands to have their Children's Services

:03:45.:03:50.

department rated inadequate. Worcestershire have

:03:51.:03:54.

said they are sorry - and will spend

:03:55.:04:04.

an extra ?3.5 million Tom Turrell has been speaking

:04:05.:04:05.

to the people in charge It is the job at the Children's

:04:06.:04:18.

Services is department here at Worcestershire County Council to

:04:19.:04:20.

protect the most honourable residents in the county, children.

:04:21.:04:24.

I'm talking about children who are potentially in foster care, have

:04:25.:04:28.

been adopted, potentially who have lived with parents who are violent.

:04:29.:04:32.

Today we learned that Government inspectors, Ofsted, rated this

:04:33.:04:36.

department as inadequate. It said that the children here were at risk.

:04:37.:04:43.

I put it to the chief executive of Worcestershire County Council that

:04:44.:04:45.

we needed our response. The thing I would like to say first and foremost

:04:46.:04:49.

is sorry to those children's families who feel they been let down

:04:50.:04:54.

by the services or feel disappointed in terms of those services. My

:04:55.:04:57.

commitment is to absolutely ensure that we pick up the pace of that

:04:58.:05:01.

improvement plan, real confidence that the leadership we put in place

:05:02.:05:05.

last year is the right leadership, Ofsted have said that as well. And

:05:06.:05:09.

things we're put in place, single multi-agencies focus is the right

:05:10.:05:11.

things as well. The County Council say a high

:05:12.:05:23.

turnover of staff has not helped, possibly by low pay and the

:05:24.:05:29.

pressures of the job. They also say they are hiring too many agency

:05:30.:05:33.

staff by third parties and that is not helping. And the demand for

:05:34.:05:38.

children services is the rise. They say they are putting the problem

:05:39.:05:43.

right, investing ?3.5 million extra to fix this, but the NSPCC says the

:05:44.:05:45.

situation isn't good enough. To get "inadequate"

:05:49.:05:49.

on your work with children in care and on your overall leadership

:05:50.:05:53.

is obviously a pretty damning indictment, so lots more work

:05:54.:05:56.

for Worcestershire to do and our view is keep

:05:57.:06:02.

the focus on the child, keep the focus on outcomes

from the child and learn from other authorities

at all. It's called percussion and experts

say it can be the difference between life and death

:07:10.:07:12.

for 15-week-old Daisy. She has cystic fibrosis

and the physio her Mum Sam gives her twice a day

:07:15.:07:18.

helps break up mucus on her chest which could become

:07:19.:07:20.

infected and deadly. The first time we started doing

this, she was actually three weeks old and they came to our house to

show us and they started doing the percussion and I just cried, it's

threats saying we should be killed, lots of foul language which I cannot

the ignorant people jumping A cancer surgeon has pleaded not

guilty to fraud after claiming that he had performed 88

:09:00.:09:21.

keyhole surgery operations. Sudip Sarker was alleged to have

made the false claim during an interview for a consultant

job, at the Alexandra Hospital Mr Sarker was suspended a year later

:09:28.:09:30.

and eventually dismissed, following concerns

:09:31.:09:38.

about his surgical ability. Leroy Sterling strangled Wendy Mann,

:09:39.:09:42.

his former partner, simply because he couldn't cope

:09:43.:09:49.

with her having a new lover. At Wolverhampton Crown Court,

:09:50.:09:52.

Sterling was jailed for life. Detectives have described

:09:53.:09:55.

their investigation as complex. They've also apologised

the mother of their three children, after they separated and she started

seeing another man. It has been a long process getting

:10:21.:10:29.

justice for our sister Wendy. We are happy with the verdict here today

:10:30.:10:32.

and it will bring a sense of closure to our lives.

:10:33.:10:33.

It's August 2015 - Sterling is seen loitering outside

Fueled by jealousy, he confronted his former partner and strangled

into her kitchen where Sterling proceeded to mop the floor

and showed no remorse whatsoever for Wendy's death. This was a very

:11:06.:11:09.

complex investigation involving very detailed forensic examinations of

:11:10.:11:12.

the scene. But initially, detectives

:11:13.:11:18.

charged an innocent man. Wendy Mann's lover Trevor Tyndale -

:11:19.:11:20.

seen here leaving court - spent almost three months

:11:21.:11:22.

in custody. It turned out too that Sterling

of course he does, we have spoken to him over the intervening months and

:11:47.:11:50.

we have apologised to him. We have supported him through this process.

:11:51.:11:52.

Thanks to forensic evidence then, Sterling has been jailed for life

for Wendy Mann's murder and the attempted murder

He'll serve at least 21 years behind bars.

from a different angle, the divers helping to keep our

waterways running smoothly. Plans to run former

London Underground trains on the Midlands rail network

are still on course, despite a fire The Warwickshire company, Vivarail,

is converting Tube trains to help meet a shortage of carriages

:12:51.:12:58.

and relieve overcrowding. It says the fire on a train

:12:59.:12:59.

is still being investigated. Our Transport Correspondent Peter

:13:00.:13:02.

Plisner has been given exclusive access to the firm's

:13:03.:13:04.

testing facilities. Stranded after a on-board fire

:13:05.:13:07.

and a problem that could have derailed the Vivarail project -

:13:08.:13:10.

but almost a month on at the company's depot at Long Marston,

:13:11.:13:16.

it's is busier than ever. This is the train that caught fire

:13:17.:13:19.

undergoing repair work which the man in charge of Vivarail's says should

:13:20.:13:23.

be back on the track by early

:13:24.:13:30.

Spring. The idea of testing a train is to

:13:31.:13:37.

find out how things work. Clearly the fire was a setback. The fire

:13:38.:13:42.

that stop the testing of the new train was caused by a blaze inside

:13:43.:13:45.

one of the engines. This is the engine that caught fire. As you can

:13:46.:13:50.

see, it is pretty burnt out. The investigation is still underway, but

:13:51.:13:53.

it looks like it was caused by a fuel leak.

:13:54.:13:54.

But the delays caused by the fire halted plans to use the new train

:13:55.:13:58.

to help get more people in and out of the Richo Arena in Coventry -

:13:59.:14:01.

today Vivarail were hopeful that could still happen.

:14:02.:14:04.

It will be available to go back in-service on the Coventry line if

:14:05.:14:12.

required. If it is not used there, we will have it operating somewhere

:14:13.:14:13.

else. And undeterred, the company is also

:14:14.:14:16.

developing a hybrid train. We are building a battery test car,

:14:17.:14:26.

which has the capability of running either on battery or hydrate, there

:14:27.:14:29.

are lots of hybrid vehicles now, with battery and engine.

:14:30.:14:32.

And there's certainly no shortage of trains -

:14:33.:14:34.

There are more than 200 former London Underground carriages

:14:35.:14:41.

Landlocked Birmingham is the last place you would expect to find

:14:45.:14:47.

But today a diver has indeed been hard at work -

:14:48.:14:51.

under the city, making sure our canal network

:14:52.:14:52.

The aim is to use use an inflatable pillow to plug - and then drain -

:14:53.:14:58.

a stretch of pipeline, so vital maintenance

:14:59.:14:59.

Our environment correspondent David Gregory-Kumar

:15:00.:15:02.

This is the Grand Union Canal on the east side of Birmingham.

:15:03.:15:11.

But the team won't be diving the canal.

:15:12.:15:14.

They're going much much deeper, under the canal...

:15:15.:15:16.

into the hidden network of pipes and culvets that

:15:17.:15:18.

Canal and river trust employed divers across the network, across

:15:19.:15:29.

the country, to undertake specialised work for us. There's

:15:30.:15:31.

lots of things for structure under the grounds that a lot of the

:15:32.:15:33.

general public won't know about. Today's dive is about checking

on some vital but elderly But the diving will only start once

:15:35.:15:37.

the diver gets down this 15 metre shaft to reach the water

:15:38.:15:41.

inside the culvet. Now, that black is shaded there,

:15:42.:15:52.

that is what will go inside and block off the culvert so they can

:15:53.:15:55.

drain it out and checked the pumps. The diver himself is probably going

:15:56.:15:59.

to be in there about five hours today. Get all the air out of it, it

BBC Midlands Today, under Fascinating. On to sport, we will

:16:51.:17:03.

meet some new faces at Birmingham City shortly, but a new start for

:17:04.:17:08.

swimming at Worcester. This is exciting, isn't it? Yes, exciting.

:17:09.:17:17.

Two paralympic swimmers officially opened Worcester's new ?10 million

:17:18.:17:19.

Rebcca Redfern and Claire Cashmore opened the centre in Perdiswell.

:17:20.:17:22.

The City Council hope the pool will benefit everyone from pleasure

:17:23.:17:25.

There's often a ribbon involved in these things.

:17:26.:17:28.

But today wasn't so much about cutting - as splashing!

:17:29.:17:32.

Paralympic silver medallist Rebecca Redfern took

:17:33.:17:36.

the plunge first, quickly followed by a school

:17:37.:17:38.

But 17-year-old Redfern will train here almost every day

:17:39.:17:43.

It's amazing. The facilities they have here are so much better and

:17:44.:17:55.

there are so many different ways that we can improve our swimming

:17:56.:17:56.

with these facilities. Today she was joined

:17:57.:18:00.

by Kidderminster's Claire Cashmore who has won eight paralympic medals

:18:01.:18:02.

including a gold in Rio. She says great facilities

:18:03.:18:04.

make great swimmers. When there is so much money invested

:18:05.:18:11.

into the pool, you feel that money is being invested in to give because

:18:12.:18:16.

turning up into a bright, fantastic, clean pool really makes a

:18:17.:18:19.

difference, it makes you feel proud to almost be here and you feel like

:18:20.:18:23.

money has been invested into that sport. Just a superb new facility.

:18:24.:18:30.

Not just for our city but for the whole county and region, in fact. It

:18:31.:18:33.

is a competition standard pool. Alongside the 25 metre main pool

:18:34.:18:36.

there's a training pool. The new pool also boasts 284 seats

:18:37.:18:41.

for spectators. Perdiswell also revamped

:18:42.:18:49.

the main sports hall. They've introduced

:18:50.:18:51.

an indoor cycling centre - The age range of users spanned

:18:52.:18:52.

nearly 80 years today. There really is something

:18:53.:18:56.

for everyone. So great news for Worcester -

another update next week, but in the meantime we have to be patient. The

:19:24.:19:28.

region should have 250 metre pools, the Council approved plans to

replace the pool in the city centre. In the long-term we will be better

:19:59.:20:01.

and firmly focused on making plans for the future. He has certainly

:20:02.:20:05.

been busy during the January transfer window. He's made it six of

:20:06.:20:11.

new signings from as far afield as equatorial guinea and is close to

:20:12.:20:14.

home as start Bridge. Dan Scarr will always have good reason to love the

:20:15.:20:19.

FA Cup, because this goal against Wycombe in round not only cast a man

:20:20.:20:23.

of the match performance, it also caught the eye of half a dozen

:20:24.:20:27.

professional clubs. But after a week's trial with West Brom, it was

:20:28.:20:31.

Birmingham City who won the race to him up. It means a lot, being a

:20:32.:20:38.

blues Fan. To be here, training full time with them, couldn't ask for

:20:39.:20:43.

much more, really. It's a bit surreal, hasn't really sunk in yet.

:20:44.:20:48.

So Dan Scarr has packed in his day job as a part personal fitness

:20:49.:20:54.

trainer. He has had goodbye to his friends in Lade, and has jumped up.

:20:55.:21:02.

Full-time pro in the championship. Sad to leave, I had some amazing

times with the FA Cup, if I haven't got game still come down to watch

:21:09.:21:12.

them, pop to training. I will never be too far away. His new Permian

:21:13.:21:20.

team-mates include Emilio Nsue, Kevin Fry from the Turkish club. He

:21:21.:21:26.

is an opportunity Dan Scarr could only dream of until now, no surprise

:21:27.:21:33.

to guess his New Year's resolution. A fabulous story. It would be better

:21:34.:21:40.

if he could help his new boss to their first wind.

:21:41.:21:46.

We keep talking about changing the fortune of the players. Some of the

:21:47.:21:51.

players went on to a higher level, we hope he can settle in.

:21:52.:21:54.

Fortunately, his day job was a fitness coach, I think he has an

:21:55.:21:59.

additive vintage on most people. Turning up to training shouldn't be

:22:00.:22:02.

an issue for him, should it? Thank you very much!

:22:03.:22:08.

If you're a music lover and want to see your favourite band,

:22:09.:22:11.

you're likely to have caught them at one of our big live music

:22:12.:22:14.

But where do you go to discover new music?

:22:15.:22:17.

In the '70s and '80s, small venues were all around our region -

:22:18.:22:21.

Those that remain are getting a boost -

:22:22.:22:24.

Our Arts Reporter Satnam Rana joins us from Birmingham City Centre -

:22:25.:22:28.

They are getting ready for a gig here tonight. This venue has been

:22:29.:22:48.

the talk of the BBC radio six music. One radio host has been doing a show

:22:49.:22:53.

from beanie and burn them -- BBC Birmingham. He will be heading down

:22:54.:22:57.

later on. An musical community,

:22:58.:22:58.

not just for new bands but also for groups who,

:22:59.:23:01.

you know, don't they don't play the O2 Arenas or even big 1000-capacity

:23:02.:23:04.

venues, but they play to an audience, a really

:23:05.:23:07.

enthusiastic audience. They might be slightly musically

:23:08.:23:08.

left of centre, but there are no less culturally

:23:09.:23:10.

worthy, I think, so it's great that there's a place

:23:11.:23:12.

that you can see them. Now by bringing his show to the city

:23:13.:23:15.

- Steve Lamacq has also given a platform for some local bands such

:23:16.:23:19.

as Goodnight Lenin - here they are with their most recent

:23:20.:23:21.

video. And I caught up with them ahead

:23:22.:23:27.

of their studio session. It's pretty big for us, we've done

:23:28.:23:49.

some stuff for the BBC before but it's nice to do something national.

:23:50.:23:53.

Steve is a massive name, we listen to the show, when we were hers. He

:23:54.:24:00.

plays awesome music. -- when we were hers. Bit of a legend in the field.

:24:01.:24:07.

What about the people that come to these venues? In 2015, five .5

:24:08.:24:14.

million people across the West Midlands got their music, live

:24:15.:24:18.

music, from small independent venues like this one. But speak to some in

:24:19.:24:23.

coming to the gig tonight. What attracts you to these sort of

:24:24.:24:28.

venues? The independence of the venue, really. It's quite an

:24:29.:24:31.

intimate venue, you can feel like you're around the musicians were

:24:32.:24:37.

playing, and integral part to Birmingham's unity. One of the best

:24:38.:24:43.

record labels in the world are here come a everybody can drink together.

:24:44.:24:49.

You can see a great passion for the live music in the city. It's all

:24:50.:24:53.

about supporting upcoming bands and local venues as well. Sounds great,

:24:54.:24:55.

thank you very much. Let's find out how it's looking

:24:56.:24:57.

for the next few days. Is that Dean going to continue? I'm

:24:58.:25:07.

gathering probably yes. -- that beam? Plenty of sunshine out

:25:08.:25:13.

there, but whether I not he can fight the fog. Dense fog during the

:25:14.:25:18.

morning today, as the day went on or progressed, it started to left and

:25:19.:25:24.

we had glorious sunshine. The frost is down, the fog is returning

:25:25.:25:28.

tonight. We have ideal conditions for that to form, clearer skies and

:25:29.:25:32.

freezing temperatures. Those temperatures. To pick up towards the

:25:33.:25:38.

end of the week. In the meantime, it will be utterly cold. On Thursday,

:25:39.:25:45.

the winds start to veer southeasterly. We have warnings in

:25:46.:25:50.

place for fog and ice. Dense patches once again, tricky conditions,

:25:51.:25:55.

driving conditions into the more. Let's look at it what's happening

:25:56.:26:01.

this evening. The fog began to form, more prominent sports the

:26:02.:26:04.

southeastern corner of the region. We could get more frost,

:26:05.:26:10.

temperatures will fall to around minus one Celsius, but most places

:26:11.:26:14.

where there is cloud, the values will remain above freezing. It will

:26:15.:26:19.

be a dry night. Frog and frost, greeting us to start the day

:26:20.:26:23.

tomorrow. During the morning, gradually starting to lift. Western

:26:24.:26:27.

half of the region that sees the best of the sunshine through the

:26:28.:26:30.

morning. In the East, we start to see another layer of cloud living in

:26:31.:26:35.

from that direction. They'll here for most of the day, it even once

:26:36.:26:41.

the fog has dispersed. Temperatures rising to between five Celsius to

:26:42.:26:45.

around seven or eight Celsius towards the southwest, with a breeze

:26:46.:26:50.

coming in at a moderate speed. Tomorrow night is a different story.

:26:51.:26:54.

We're not looking how much fog at all and that is because the cloud

:26:55.:26:57.

will start to stretch across the region. It will hold those

:26:58.:27:00.

temperatures to above freezing in some parts, but generally speaking,

:27:01.:27:03.

because the air is so cold, below freezing. Widespread frost as we

:27:04.:27:10.

head into the day on Thursday. Chilly indeed.

:27:11.:27:11.

Tomorrow, we'll be meeting the students from all over

:27:12.:27:13.

the world, who're travelling to Coventry to learn how

:27:14.:27:16.

Their teacher has 30 years experience protecting the likes

:27:17.:27:19.

of Princess Diana along with the Queen Mother -

:27:20.:27:25.

It all started with the Birmingham pub bombings when a lot of us were

:27:26.:27:31.

taken from CID to protection work and it went on from there. I was

:27:32.:27:35.

lucky enough to be involved with the protection of some of the royal

:27:36.:27:39.

family. Princess Diana and the Queen Mother Tomic particularly when they

:27:40.:27:43.

were visiting the Midlands. That is on tomorrow's programme. We will be

:27:44.:27:47.

back tonight You might get the impression

:27:48.:27:55.

that history is just a record Very often,

:27:56.:27:57.

the line between fact and fiction In this series, I'm exploring how

:27:58.:28:04.

three turning points in our history have been manipulated to become

:28:05.:28:11.

our greatest historical legends. I want to be entertained.

:28:12.:28:24.

Entertain me. It's the last chance

:28:25.:28:29.

to impress the judges. What have you been up to?

:28:30.:28:44.

Something grubby?
