:00:07. > :00:10.the Hillsborough investigation was handled.

:00:13. > :00:15.tactic that they set up to cover South Yorkshire, they were in it

:00:33. > :00:39.For a woman who's grown up in sport she was such a trailblazer, and I

:01:02. > :01:04.to even colder conditions by tonight, and tomorrow onwards.

:01:05. > :01:20.Our top story tonight comes from survivors of Hillsborough

:01:21. > :01:22.who say they're hopeful prosecutions will be brought against

:01:23. > :01:24.West Midlands Police officers who investigated the 1989 disaster.

:01:25. > :01:27.96 Liverpool fans died as a result of a crush on the terraces

:01:28. > :01:36.After a long inquiry into the conduct of both

:01:37. > :01:40.the South Yorkshire and West Midlands forces,

:01:41. > :01:43.the Independent Police Complaints Commission has sent files

:01:44. > :01:54.April last year. It felt like the final chapter.

:01:55. > :01:57.An inquest jury at last agreeing with the families,

:01:58. > :01:59.the 96 victims of the Hillsborough disaster

:02:00. > :02:08.Questions persist though about the police, not just

:02:09. > :02:11.the South Yorkshire officers there on the day, but also the West

:02:12. > :02:13.Midlands officers brought in afterwards to investigate.

:02:14. > :02:18.to deal with what I had to deal with.

:02:19. > :02:20.Debra Martin admits she has no fondness for the police,

:02:21. > :02:24.and yet at one time in her life policing was all she wanted to do.

:02:25. > :02:27.She was a special constable on duty that day at Hillsborough.

:02:28. > :02:29.She says she cradled one of the youngest victims,

:02:30. > :02:32.15-year-old Kevin Williams, as he died.

:02:33. > :02:35.She claims she was later brow beaten into changing her statement,

:02:36. > :02:40.I was there that day and that child died

:02:41. > :02:46.There's as much blame to lay at West Midlands as well South

:02:47. > :02:48.Yorkshire, they should have behaved themselves and they should have told

:02:49. > :02:52.In terms of the number of victims, witnesses and statements,

:02:53. > :02:54.the Hillsborough inquiry was the biggest ever carried out

:02:55. > :02:59.This former senior West Midlands officer

:03:00. > :03:01.didn't serve on the inquiry, but says the team that

:03:02. > :03:06.I would like to have seen personally more experienced operational

:03:07. > :03:19.For all these years to pass by and certainly

:03:20. > :03:21.suddenly be caught on and dragged over the coals,

:03:22. > :03:25.They were interested in did I have a ticket,

:03:26. > :03:27.did I have a drink, did I

:03:28. > :03:30.Val Yates was a 20-year-old Liverpool fan who ended up

:03:31. > :03:32.on the pitch that day trying to help.

:03:33. > :03:34.She thought West Midlands officers arrived with a script already

:03:35. > :03:37.written and said so to the IPCC, who failed to pick up

:03:38. > :03:45.They said that I'd got no complaints against the

:03:46. > :03:49.and that was just an absolute utter falseness.

:03:50. > :03:58.I never said it, I've got absolute criticism of them, they had

:03:59. > :04:01.an agenda, tried to confiscate this, wanted to blame drunken

:04:02. > :04:08.The Crown Prosecution services has files on eight police officers -

:04:09. > :04:14.Decisions on whether to charge them are due later this year.

:04:15. > :04:16.are to help account, but I'm not

:04:17. > :04:17.You can hope that those responsible for this

:04:18. > :04:19.are to help account, but I'm not

:04:20. > :04:24.sure if I've got faith that it will actually happen.

:04:25. > :04:25.The truth is pretty much now writ large.

:04:26. > :04:46.What's left to do then in this investigation?

:04:47. > :04:51.You've heard they've already sent files to the CPS -

:04:52. > :04:53.and this follows work focused on what they call the 'controlling

:04:54. > :04:55.minds' of the alleged cover-up, those taking key decisions.

:04:56. > :04:58.But inquiries continue into 170 allegations of misconduct -

:04:59. > :05:01.that's to say misbehaviour by officers rather

:05:02. > :05:06.If those officers were still serving, those allegations might

:05:07. > :05:10.The reality is few if any are still employed by

:05:11. > :05:13.South Yorkshire or West Midlands - so that process may not

:05:14. > :05:18.satisfy all the families and survivors who've complained.

:05:19. > :05:20.West Midlands Police says it's co-operated fully

:05:21. > :05:26.with investigations and its thoughts are with the family

:05:27. > :05:36.Hundreds of people gathered in Wolverhampton this afternoon

:05:37. > :05:39.to pay their last respects to Baroness Rachael Heyhoe Flint,

:05:40. > :05:44.St Peter's church in the city centre was packed with leading figures

:05:45. > :05:46.from the world of football, cricket and television.

:05:47. > :05:55.Best known as the former England Women's Cricket Captain, who

:05:56. > :05:57.worked tirelessly for charity, she was also a passionate

:05:58. > :05:58.lifelong supporter of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

:05:59. > :06:39.She wanted her funeral to be like Sir Jack Potter but not as grand. No

:06:40. > :06:42.one else can ever fill this gap. Inside St Peter's, every seat was

:06:43. > :06:48.taken, by family and friends from her sporting passions, cricket and

:06:49. > :06:51.football, from her political career as Baroness Taiwan Micah at the

:06:52. > :07:00.House of Lords and from her outstanding charity work. I work for

:07:01. > :07:05.charity was absolutely outstanding. She was best known around the world

:07:06. > :07:08.as captain of the England cricket team and the first woman ever to

:07:09. > :07:14.become a member of the MCC at Lord's. I hope that it will make the

:07:15. > :07:19.MCC realise that there are thousands and thousands of women who take

:07:20. > :07:22.cricket very seriously. But her heart was always in Wolverhampton,

:07:23. > :07:24.educated at the girls high school and fiercely proud to be a vice

:07:25. > :07:29.president of Wolverhampton Wanderers. Rachel was also a good

:07:30. > :07:33.friend of Graham Taylor, and how ironic that this should both passed

:07:34. > :07:37.away within a week of each other. He would have appreciated her

:07:38. > :07:52.mischievous sense of humour. Her father Sir Jack had a close

:07:53. > :07:56.place in ritual's heart. So close, I think they were the greatest

:07:57. > :08:03.friends. If you asked dad now, he would say truly that ritual was his

:08:04. > :08:08.best friend. Small in stature, but always fighting for things she

:08:09. > :08:11.believed in, it is also what she has achieved. As a Wolverhampton girls

:08:12. > :08:17.yourself you will know more than most what she meant to the city. Oh

:08:18. > :08:21.gosh! She was a trailblazer, a pioneer and someone who said, you

:08:22. > :08:24.know, fight for what you believe in and make sure you get what you want

:08:25. > :08:28.in this life and he certainly did that. It was Rachel was like dying

:08:29. > :08:31.wish that her funeral should be uplifting and inspirational. And

:08:32. > :08:35.everyone here at Saint Peter's here today would agree that the service

:08:36. > :08:44.like her life was a great success. And you can share your own thoughts

:08:45. > :08:50.and memories of Rachael Heyhoe Flint own thoughts and memories

:08:51. > :08:52.of Rachael Heyhoe Flint over A 70-year-old paedophile who taught

:08:53. > :08:56.in schools in Worcestershire has been given 13 life sentences

:08:57. > :08:59.for a catalogue of abuse on children Retired English teacher Mark Frost,

:09:00. > :09:05.formerly known as Andrew Tracey, admitted abusing nine children

:09:06. > :09:08.in Thailand between 2009 and 2012. He also pleaded guilty to sexually

:09:09. > :09:10.assaulting two former pupils Investigators have confirmed that

:09:11. > :09:22.a fire at a plastics recycling firm in Stoke on Trent

:09:23. > :09:25.was started deliberately. More than 50 firefighters

:09:26. > :09:27.were sent to Hanbury Plastics Smoke from the blaze

:09:28. > :09:32.could be seen for miles. It later emerged that the plant

:09:33. > :09:35.didn't have a permit and was operating illegally

:09:36. > :09:37.after the Enviroment Agency Crimestoppers has offered

:09:38. > :09:45.a reward of up to ?5,000 for information about the attempted

:09:46. > :09:48.murder of a man on 30-year-old Jason Webb

:09:49. > :09:52.was repeatedly kicked in the head and left for dead in the Kings Heath

:09:53. > :09:55.area of Birmingham. It has to be up there among

:09:56. > :10:02.the worst newlywed nightmares. Thieves ransacked the home

:10:03. > :10:07.of Amy Blount's wedding photographer Tonight, the heartbroken bride has

:10:08. > :10:14.appealed to the burglars to return the stolen memory cards and computer

:10:15. > :10:16.equipment which contained her My wedding day was great,

:10:17. > :10:26.it was everything that I wanted it to be and we had all of our friends

:10:27. > :10:30.and family there and the weather was dry and sunny and yeah,

:10:31. > :10:33.it was just a really lovely day. Amy Blount got married

:10:34. > :10:36.just three weeks ago, but apart from her dress and cards

:10:37. > :10:39.at home in shard end in Birmingham, now has very little to remind

:10:40. > :10:44.her of her special day. Then this is us cutting...

:10:45. > :10:46.Cutting your cake? There are just a few snaps taken

:10:47. > :10:56.by friends of Amy marrying Chris in Lickey Hill near Birmingham

:10:57. > :10:59.because last week the photographer's When he came home their house

:11:00. > :11:07.had been broken into and all of their things had been stolen,

:11:08. > :11:09.so the cameras, their computer, all their hard drives,

:11:10. > :11:15.things are, they'd all gone. He'd e-mailed this picture over

:11:16. > :11:20.before the break in. Initially I was very shocked

:11:21. > :11:27.and then I just spent quite I was very devastated because for me

:11:28. > :11:32.the photos were more than just a picture to look at,

:11:33. > :11:38.they represented the whole day and everything and it was like hard

:11:39. > :11:44.evidence of my friends and family West Midlands Police

:11:45. > :11:49.are appealing for information following the burglary

:11:50. > :11:51.at the photographer's house in Somerset Road

:11:52. > :11:54.in Walsall last Thursday. And they're combing through CCTV

:11:55. > :11:59.from the area for clues. If anyone knew of anything,

:12:00. > :12:05.you know, or happens to have the memory card or the hard

:12:06. > :12:08.drive or anything with the photos on it then

:12:09. > :12:12.if they could return that, It's stood tall and proud,

:12:13. > :12:24.surrounded by green fields Berkswell Windmill is considered

:12:25. > :12:28.to be one of the most important historic monuments

:12:29. > :12:31.in the Solihull area. So residents say they're horrified

:12:32. > :12:33.by plans to build up They insist there are plenty

:12:34. > :12:39.of alternative brownfield sites nearby which are far more

:12:40. > :12:40.suitable for development. Our reporter Bob Hockenhull

:12:41. > :12:44.is at the windmill now. A slice of rural history that these

:12:45. > :12:47.villagers want to protect. They say proposals for

:12:48. > :12:49.a large housing estate opposite Berkswell Windmill

:12:50. > :12:50.are totally inappropriate. and it should stay in

:12:51. > :13:00.the middle of fields. We know we need the housing but

:13:01. > :13:03.it's got to be in the right place. Green field sites are

:13:04. > :13:06.not the right place. It's recently been restored

:13:07. > :13:13.at a cost of ?200,000 Jeanette says building on green belt

:13:14. > :13:17.land next to the windmill You know, there is national guidance

:13:18. > :13:23.in place from government, central government, that says we must not

:13:24. > :13:28.built around an historical monument. There is also a public footpath

:13:29. > :13:33.opposite, so currently the public can have 24/7 access to countryside

:13:34. > :13:36.as well as having a wonderful view That won't happen if 200 flats

:13:37. > :13:41.and houses are built there. A little further away

:13:42. > :13:44.from the windmill, The latest proposals

:13:45. > :13:48.to extend development are in the Solihull

:13:49. > :13:51.Draft Local Plan. The council says residents have

:13:52. > :13:55.until February 17th to comment. The windmill's neighbour,

:13:56. > :14:00.whose land could be built on, believes the proposed

:14:01. > :14:02.housing is justified. My daughter's 24 and she can't get

:14:03. > :14:06.on the property ladder and none of her friends can,

:14:07. > :14:08.none of the kids can get on the property ladder and these

:14:09. > :14:11.would be 50% affordable homes which will give children

:14:12. > :14:16.a chance to get on that property Solihull Council is assuring

:14:17. > :14:19.residents their concerns The Friends of the windmill argue

:14:20. > :14:25.there is plenty of land to build This is another part

:14:26. > :14:30.of Balsall common. It's a Brownfield site

:14:31. > :14:33.and many residents say it's a far more suitable area

:14:34. > :14:37.for the development of housing. And with the Government

:14:38. > :14:40.planning to build a quarter of a million homes per year,

:14:41. > :14:44.this is the kind of controversy set to befall communities up

:14:45. > :14:56.and down the country. Well, Bob is at the windmill now.

:14:57. > :15:01.Bob, battle lines have been drawn. How long do we have before a

:15:02. > :15:06.decision is made? Welcome Solihull council hasn't put a timescale on

:15:07. > :15:11.this, yet, Nick. This is a draft local plan so it hasn't been

:15:12. > :15:14.approved, and has to go before a government planning Inspectorate

:15:15. > :15:17.before it can be passed. Residents say it is not just the landscape

:15:18. > :15:21.around the windmill that they are concerned about but they say that

:15:22. > :15:25.the village was an infrastructure just can't cope with more houses

:15:26. > :15:28.already the schools are full and they said that the doctor's surgery

:15:29. > :15:35.also struggles as well. Best when Bell has overlooked the village for

:15:36. > :15:39.two centuries now and this has certainly been a contentious chapter

:15:40. > :15:42.in its history but the residents are so determined that they say they are

:15:43. > :15:45.determined to take their fights to the High Court if that proves to be

:15:46. > :15:48.necessary. Bob, thank you. Thanks for joining us

:15:49. > :15:50.on Midlands Today, this is our top story tonight: Survivors

:15:51. > :15:53.of the Hillsborough disaster are calling for West Midlands Police

:15:54. > :15:55.to face charges over how the investigation

:15:56. > :15:59.into what wrong was handled. It's certainly felt a lot

:16:00. > :16:01.colder today, hasn't it? Shefali's here later

:16:02. > :16:02.with the forecast. Also in tonight's programme Changing

:16:03. > :16:05.the face of Coventry: the council insist a new 300 million pound

:16:06. > :16:07.development WILL go ahead. And enthusiasts from across

:16:08. > :16:10.the world pull together to honour the memory of one of the greatest

:16:11. > :16:12.names in motorbike The UK Independence Party have

:16:13. > :16:16.formally launched their campaign for Midlands "Metro Mayor",

:16:17. > :16:18.even though they've strongly opposed Their candidate, Pete Durnell,

:16:19. > :16:23.is promising to invest in new technologies

:16:24. > :16:25.and to refurbish empty homes. He's been talking to our political

:16:26. > :16:30.editor, Patrick Burns. First they campaigned,

:16:31. > :16:32.successfully, to get in to the European Parliament,

:16:33. > :16:36.in order to get out of it. Now they're campaigning again for

:16:37. > :16:41.a role they strongly disapprove of. They say regional devolution means

:16:42. > :16:43.devolving power away from the people The Metro Mayor is happening

:16:44. > :16:49.and what I'm saying is actually lets get in there and make

:16:50. > :16:52.sure the combined authority worked as efficiently as possibly can,

:16:53. > :16:55.and ultimately a Ukip mayor will keep tight control on it

:16:56. > :17:00.and will actually make sure that it works as

:17:01. > :17:02.the most efficient He's not the first candidate

:17:03. > :17:06.to single out the M6 Toll road He wants to get more lorries to use

:17:07. > :17:10.it, instead of the main M6. I'd like to try and do that

:17:11. > :17:14.with some subsidies because currently at ?11 per HGV, it's not

:17:15. > :17:17.economic to get on there, so let's try and make it

:17:18. > :17:20.economic for them to get And he's joined calls for the mayor

:17:21. > :17:25.to be paid around ?30,000 a year: that's over ?100,000

:17:26. > :17:28.less than the new mayor Why is ours worth so

:17:29. > :17:32.much less than theirs? I don't think it's an issue

:17:33. > :17:35.of what it's worth, I'm saying that from my point of view I think

:17:36. > :17:38.that it should be all about passion and commitment

:17:39. > :17:41.and wanting to help and drive your region forward not about the amount

:17:42. > :17:44.of money that you can get. It's a party political

:17:45. > :17:45.contest, of course. But the nature of the job makes this

:17:46. > :17:48.much more about the personalities Pete Durnell is one of five

:17:49. > :17:56.candidates so far declared for this first Midlands Metro mayoral

:17:57. > :17:59.election on May fourth. You'll find more

:18:00. > :18:01.about them on my blog. The eventual winner will head

:18:02. > :18:05.the new combined authority covering the conurbation from Wolverhampton

:18:06. > :18:07.through Birmingham to Coventry. Patrick Burns, BBC Midlands Today,

:18:08. > :18:17.Sutton Coldfield. We'll be celebrating

:18:18. > :18:19.with Coventry City fans in a moment after they got to Wembley last

:18:20. > :18:23.night, but first their local council's insisting

:18:24. > :18:25.a new ?300 million development The authority recently gave

:18:26. > :18:29.the green light to the scheme known It comes at a time when a boom

:18:30. > :18:33.in property development It's brutalist and, for many, ugly,

:18:34. > :18:40.but Coventry Point is one of numerous concrete buildings set

:18:41. > :18:42.to be demolished as part of a ?300 million City Centre

:18:43. > :18:47.South redevelopment. Previous schemes like the ambitious

:18:48. > :18:50.Jerde project failed but this time What is different here is,

:18:51. > :18:55.the money is in place, ?200 million from the private sector

:18:56. > :18:58.for the developer, who has done We've got ?100 million

:18:59. > :19:04.from the combined authority. The permission is in place.

:19:05. > :19:07.Now we want to see it happen. Coventry is already

:19:08. > :19:10.seeing a building boom. This former Royal Mail sorting

:19:11. > :19:13.office site will soon be The first time I came

:19:14. > :19:18.here, the sorting office We acquired it from the Royal Mail

:19:19. > :19:23.when they vacated it. It was a derelict site

:19:24. > :19:27.and it is great to be investing in the site and bringing it

:19:28. > :19:31.back to life. And there are plenty

:19:32. > :19:33.of cranes on the skyline, with numerous similar

:19:34. > :19:35.projects under way. This is a sign of regeneration

:19:36. > :19:38.gathering momentum. These are the former offices

:19:39. > :19:41.of the local newspaper, the Coventry Evening Telegraph,

:19:42. > :19:43.which were vacated The building is going to be

:19:44. > :19:49.converted into a boutique hotel, This used to be

:19:50. > :19:53.the newsroom, I think. There's photographers,

:19:54. > :19:54.sub editors... It's the brainchild of Coventry

:19:55. > :19:57.developer Ian Harribin. You can imagine some life coming

:19:58. > :20:00.back in this big room yet again when somebody has their wedding

:20:01. > :20:02.here, for example. Further down in the building,

:20:03. > :20:05.we're looking at using some of the former large print room

:20:06. > :20:07.spaces for maybe a couple of arthouse cinema screens so,

:20:08. > :20:10.you know, making the building work Coventry has been known

:20:11. > :20:19.as the Phoenix City after it rose It seems another

:21:34. > :21:35.League Two Wycombe. They took a 2-nil half-time

:21:36. > :21:40.lead against Wycombe. First, Stuart Beavon's deflected

:22:08. > :22:09.and the Sky Blues fans. But Coventry survived and will head

:22:10. > :22:14.to Wembley at the end of April. Coventry City are still a club

:22:15. > :22:17.with many problems. All the more reason then

:22:18. > :22:26.to savour this success. Motorbike enthusiasts from

:22:27. > :22:29.the Midlands and across the world have come together to make sure

:22:30. > :22:33.the grave of James Lansdown Norton, who founded the famous motorcycle

:22:35. > :22:40.in a run-down state in a cemetery in south

:23:02. > :23:10.Norton into iconic brand. And I thought that's a job that

:23:15. > :23:18.still treasure their Nortons - as I found out when

:23:19. > :23:26.I went to his shed. I was road testing the north

:23:27. > :23:30.commando -- Norton Commander in the late cities that got me hooked on

:23:31. > :23:32.Northern's top left engineering for many years but it was always in your

:23:33. > :23:33.blood, like malaria. James Lansdowne Norton -

:23:34. > :23:39.the founder of the company. He set up Norton originally to make

:23:40. > :23:41.bicycle parts but in 1902 Some of them are on display

:23:42. > :23:54.in the National Motorcycle Museum. Absolute towering industry figure.

:23:55. > :23:56.One of the most people -- important people I suppose in the British

:23:57. > :24:07.motorcycle industry certainly in the early days. This is the place where

:24:08. > :24:11.these bikes were first built. Sadly the factory is long gone, but the

:24:12. > :24:12.legacy of Norton continues. The latest Norton bikes

:24:13. > :24:14.are still made in the Midlands But enthusiests haven't been

:24:15. > :24:18.so impressed at the state of the Norton founder's grave -

:24:19. > :24:21.which Barry took me to in a cemenrty It does need a bit of TLC, there's

:24:22. > :24:28.no doubt about that. Now Barry's leading a campaign

:24:29. > :24:31.to have the memorial restored - and he even tracked one

:24:32. > :24:38.of Norton's grand-daughters. When we spoke about doing the

:24:39. > :24:42.growing up she said I would talk to the surviving family and we will get

:24:43. > :24:50.it done and yeah, we are going ahead with it. But what would Norton

:24:51. > :24:51.himself make about the fast? I have a feeling he would be chuffed about

:24:52. > :24:55.it will So to the weather after a decidedly

:24:56. > :25:07.cooler day across the region. Leeds yesterday we had clout to

:25:08. > :25:10.start off with men and beautiful sunshine to look forward to but

:25:11. > :25:16.unfortunately the cloud is sticking and lingering through the day. We

:25:17. > :25:19.had mist and fog as well that was stubborn to lift about this is how

:25:20. > :25:25.it goes for the next few days, the theme I'm afraid. We have a pretty

:25:26. > :25:27.light easterly winds, easterly winds drawing in colder air but because

:25:28. > :25:32.they are like there is nothing to churn up the cloud and break it up,

:25:33. > :25:34.I'm afraid. Of course that will also holds temperatures down and you will

:25:35. > :25:38.notice that the easterly wind will also draw in a few wintry showers

:25:39. > :25:45.along the spine of the country, some of those they just cross into the

:25:46. > :25:49.Midlands as well. But for tonight, we've got showers about the region

:25:50. > :25:53.but they are mainly of rain, just a flicker of snow here and there

:25:54. > :25:56.because the air is not cold enough, yet, but will become colder later on

:25:57. > :26:00.tonight. Lots of clout but where we get some breaks we see temperatures

:26:01. > :26:07.nearing freezing, and in the rural spot that value may be -1 or minus

:26:08. > :26:13.two Celsius. Widespread frost on the cards, best and fog in the morning

:26:14. > :26:16.tomorrow as well, but they gradually clears but in some spots lingering

:26:17. > :26:21.because temperatures struggled to get much above two Celsius tomorrow.

:26:22. > :26:26.That is because of all of the cloud sitting right across us. As we can

:26:27. > :26:29.see the winds are light to moderate, from the easterly director on and

:26:30. > :26:33.because they are moderate that may add a bit of a wind chill as well.

:26:34. > :26:38.They bitterly cold day tomorrow, feeling raw, and feeling raw into

:26:39. > :26:41.tomorrow night as well. That cloud persists again and where it breaks

:26:42. > :26:44.in the western half of the region, always getting the best of any

:26:45. > :26:51.brightness that is on offer, we will see the temperatures again -- once

:26:52. > :26:56.again falling into the negative. Frosty on Friday, but Friday itself

:26:57. > :26:58.will be a cloudy day, again, Friday night into Saturday, some frost on

:26:59. > :27:01.the cars buzz temperatures during the day not really very much

:27:02. > :27:08.different during the night. I'll be back at 10.30

:27:09. > :27:21.with your late update. We are going to leave you with some

:27:22. > :27:23.images from the funeral of somebody who I was proud to call a friend.

:27:24. > :28:14.The much loved Rachael Heyhoe Flint. when farmers leave

:28:15. > :28:17.their daily routines behind... Right, here we come, Dorset!

:28:18. > :28:21...for a show day.
