:00:00. > :00:08.The headlines tonight: One of the biggest cold calling
:00:09. > :00:16.The advertising company who conned people out of thousands of pounds.
:00:17. > :00:24.The brutal, honest and awful truth is that Best cost them at their
:00:25. > :00:31.home. They were in debt aged 80 on a pension.
:00:32. > :00:33.Also tonight: An unbearable sight and stench of animal waste -
:00:34. > :00:36.complaints from local businesses near an abattoir.
:00:37. > :00:39.The Worcestershire woman who lost half her body weight in a year -
:00:40. > :00:50.I have gone from having no confidence to having quite a bit of
:00:51. > :00:58.confidence. To going out, enjoying life... Forget Bollywood, I'm in
:00:59. > :00:59.West Bromwich for the UK premiere of a Punjabi film shot in Birmingham
:01:00. > :01:00.and the Black Country. And if you think it's been
:01:01. > :01:02.cold today, temperatures are going to drop even further
:01:03. > :01:05.as we head towards the weekend, It has become the biggest
:01:06. > :01:21.cold-calling scam A multi-million pound fraud
:01:22. > :01:28.which started with a phone call selling advertising space
:01:29. > :01:30.and resulted in people being conned The final sentences
:01:31. > :01:34.were handed down today. Kiera Byrne from Coventry was given
:01:35. > :01:39.a 23-month suspended jail sentence The fraud was uncovered by BBC
:01:40. > :01:44.Inside Out six years ago. That led to a huge operation
:01:45. > :01:47.by Trading Standards teams, unpicking the true extent
:01:48. > :01:50.of the fraud and the families who'd For years, Jonathan Rivers
:01:51. > :02:01.masqueraded as a legitimate businessman, employing 250 people
:02:02. > :02:05.at twelve different offices. His company, Wyvern Media,
:02:06. > :02:09.cold-called customers offering them advertising space
:02:10. > :02:22.in local newspapers. What happened to my parents is
:02:23. > :02:29.astonishing. Seven years on, it still keeps me awake at night. This
:02:30. > :02:30.man was one of hundreds conned by rivers who used his businesses to
:02:31. > :02:31.rip people off. Among them Jon Moyle
:02:32. > :02:34.from Shropshire, who back in 2010 When Wyvern Media spotted he wanted
:02:35. > :02:38.to rent out an apartment they cold-called him relentlessly,
:02:39. > :02:40.pressuring him into Over a two-year period they took
:02:41. > :02:54.over thirty thousand pounds. They just persist of the whole time.
:02:55. > :02:56.I just wanted to get rid of it because I had so much else on my
:02:57. > :02:56.mind. In reality, the adverts Wyvern Media
:02:57. > :02:58.pressured customers into buying Most were in free newspapers
:02:59. > :03:15.with tiny circulations. This is the rest of the property
:03:16. > :03:19.that we seized from Derby. The five year investigation by Trading
:03:20. > :03:23.Standards, led by Steve Wyatt became the biggest in their history. They
:03:24. > :03:30.pick the elaborate web of companies that Jonathan Rivers used to conceal
:03:31. > :03:36.his fraudulent activities. When you will be complicated, but we didn't
:03:37. > :03:38.have any idea just how big this was going to get.
:03:39. > :03:45.But justice came too late for victim Jon Moyle, who died.
:03:46. > :03:51.The brutal, honest, awful truth is that this cost them their house.
:03:52. > :03:56.They were in debt, aged 80, on a pension. My mother was ever so brave
:03:57. > :04:05.and she put the house on the market for my dad, but within about a month
:04:06. > :04:07.of that happening, February 2011, my mother died.
:04:08. > :04:19.And Jonathan Rivers is currently serving a six-year sentence.
:04:20. > :04:23.The manager of the investigations team at Nottinghamshire County
:04:24. > :04:25.Council Trading Standards is James Delaney.
:04:26. > :04:28.I spoke to him a little earlier about the work involved in bringing
:04:29. > :04:41.This was the largest investigation that the Trading Standards team has
:04:42. > :04:44.been involved in. It focused on a group of companies called the Wyvern
:04:45. > :04:51.Media Group that sold advertising and published it. It involved a
:04:52. > :04:54.network of up to 90 companies that produced 230 plus publications.
:04:55. > :04:57.What were the challenges you faced investigating this scam?
:04:58. > :05:08.Absolutely. They set of the business itself, how it was organised, it was
:05:09. > :05:17.an industrial scale fraud. And the challenges that were identifying how
:05:18. > :05:23.far this company actually reached. Won so huge distress to the victims?
:05:24. > :05:26.Yes. The victims in that case, unfortunately, are no longer with us
:05:27. > :05:33.today, but I have no doubt in my mind that the stress that was caused
:05:34. > :05:34.to them through those actions will have impacted on their final years.
:05:35. > :05:37.Scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, what can people do
:05:38. > :05:51.I would ask anybody to be extremely wary about any business who cold
:05:52. > :05:56.calls them, especially if they try and pressurise them into making a
:05:57. > :06:00.decision or a sale there and then. I would always advise people to do
:06:01. > :06:05.their own research. So don't make decisions on the spot. On the
:06:06. > :06:12.sentencing, a suspended sentence of 23 months. What is your reaction? In
:06:13. > :06:16.terms of the sentences that were given out today, I would say we were
:06:17. > :06:19.disappointed that they did not get custodial. However, this was part of
:06:20. > :06:26.a much wider investigation. We have had 12 convictions now and over 15
:06:27. > :06:31.and a half years worth of custodial sentences handed down as part of the
:06:32. > :06:32.overall operation, so as a whole, we are extremely pleased with the
:06:33. > :06:40.result. If you have a similar story or have
:06:41. > :06:42.been the victim of a scam, do get in touch. You can contact us in the
:06:43. > :06:42.usual ways. That's the plea from businesses
:06:43. > :06:46.near an abattoir in Birmingham, who say the sight and stench
:06:47. > :06:48.of animal waste is unbearable. Midlands Today has been shown images
:06:49. > :06:52.of what appears to be blood outside It previously traded as Mr Meats,
:06:53. > :06:59.but lost its licence following an investigation
:07:00. > :07:00.by the Food Standards Agency in October 2015,
:07:01. > :07:02.following years of complaints. The abattoir now has
:07:03. > :07:04.a new license to operate. You may find some of the images in
:07:05. > :07:14.Ben Godfrey's report distressing. These images appear to show
:07:15. > :07:17.animal blood in the yard of AJ Meats in Digbeth,
:07:18. > :07:22.an abbatoir supplying halal meat. We're told they were
:07:23. > :07:24.taken this morning. When we arrived trade
:07:25. > :07:26.was continuing, from the roadside there were no visible
:07:27. > :07:29.signs of waste. But surrounding firms
:07:30. > :07:39.have had enough. It is so bad, the smell is pungent
:07:40. > :07:44.and stronger we all suffer around it. All the businesses are generally
:07:45. > :07:47.suffering. We to the problems last time they would sort it out and
:07:48. > :07:48.there will be more stringent rules in place that would stop them
:07:49. > :07:51.starting up again. 2015, when piles of sheep
:07:52. > :07:53.carcasses and offal appeared in the same yard, discarded
:07:54. > :07:55.and exposed to the elements. At that time, it was run
:07:56. > :07:58.by different company, known as Mr Meats, who were eventually
:07:59. > :08:01.shut down by the food watchdog. So what did the new
:08:02. > :08:12.owners have to say? We have tried on several occasions
:08:13. > :08:13.to get an answer from the company, but as you can see, nobody is
:08:14. > :08:16.responding. A short time later,
:08:17. > :08:18.we were approached by a worker. He told us they were a clean
:08:19. > :08:21.operation but added that occasionally there may be some
:08:22. > :08:23.spillage of waste while Tonight, the Food Standards Agency
:08:24. > :08:26.told us following complaints they have stationed an official
:08:27. > :08:29.there this week to work They add, "In October 2016
:08:30. > :08:32.conditional approval was granted "The FSA will continue
:08:33. > :08:38.to monitor their compliance "with the relevant
:08:39. > :08:39.requirements of food law." Local businessman Peter Hughes says
:08:40. > :08:44.the authorities must be tougher. The new owners have barely been
:08:45. > :08:55.operating to months. When the temperature increases what
:08:56. > :09:00.is the smell going to be like then? Won they would say this is an
:09:01. > :09:04.abattoir, there will be some smelly, inevitably? That is fine and we
:09:05. > :09:10.understand the kind of animal smells that you would expect of an
:09:11. > :09:11.abattoir. The real issues here are the poor controls.
:09:12. > :09:25.Whether they like it or not, all eyes are on them.
:09:26. > :09:28.An entire lorry-load of old fridges and freezers have been dumped
:09:29. > :09:32.The 21 appliances were pushed off the back of a truck
:09:33. > :09:36.The lorry was caught on CCTV but had no number plates.
:09:37. > :09:37.The fridges have since been disposed of.
:09:38. > :09:39.Walsall Council say it's the latest in a catalogue
:09:40. > :09:42.of flytipping problems, which cost the taxpayers four hundred
:09:43. > :09:48.We want them to prosper, to look good.
:09:49. > :09:54.Nobody, at the end of the day, wants to turn down a road and see
:09:55. > :09:57.such a dangerous site of fly-tipping without a care for any of the
:09:58. > :10:00.The funeral of a teenager who died after a long
:10:01. > :10:02.running battle with cancer, was held at the Coventry

:10:12. > :10:13.Hundreds paid tribute at her funeral, including friends
:10:14. > :10:22.Whatever's happening to her, she would just get on with it.
:10:23. > :10:26.Everyone would just feel so happy around her.
:10:27. > :10:29.You could be having a very bad day and
:10:30. > :10:32.she would come down as she would just smile
:10:33. > :10:36.She was the most incredible person ever.
:10:37. > :10:42.Really inspirational and just really kind.
:10:43. > :10:44.Police have released footage of a Walsall shopkeeper
:10:45. > :10:49.The man seen here attempted to raid Kobani Stores
:10:50. > :10:52.on West Bromwich Street using a hand gun just before midnight
:10:53. > :10:55.Police have praised the owner of the shop who sprayed mace
:10:56. > :10:58.in the face of the robber, who then ran off.

:11:12. > :11:14.to parents, warning them not to allow their children out
:11:15. > :11:21.It follows an attack on a group of Year Ten pupils on Friday night,
:11:22. > :11:23.in which a teenager was wounded with a knife.
:11:24. > :11:25.A local shopkeeper and a cyclist were also attacked by
:11:26. > :11:29.Our reporter Nicola Beckford is at Colmers School in Rednal now.
:11:30. > :11:40.There was an extraordinary series of attacks last Friday in South
:11:41. > :11:46.Birmingham and as you say, it happened at around nine o'clock, the
:11:47. > :11:51.first attack. The shopkeeper was attacked. He was attacked outside a
:11:52. > :11:55.shop by a mob of youths. Up to 20 of them attacked him. But he was
:11:56. > :11:59.determined to defend his shop. It is not the first time this has happened
:12:00. > :12:02.and he was not going to take this. So he went out to try and fight them
:12:03. > :12:06.off, but he was set upon with hammers. They beat him to the
:12:07. > :12:11.ground, he did not want us to show that moment. Then, a cyclist was
:12:12. > :12:17.attacked at Macdonald is on the Bristol Road just outside. And it
:12:18. > :12:22.finally culminated with a group of boys from Colmers School being
:12:23. > :12:29.attacked, one was stabbed. What have the school had to say? I spoke to
:12:30. > :12:33.the head teacher today and they are in deep shock. They say they are
:12:34. > :12:37.recovering, but they are indeed in deep shock. He sent a letter to
:12:38. > :12:44.parents and carers and in it, you said that until the size, identity
:12:45. > :12:47.and group of the known, I asked you to bring your children from being
:12:48. > :12:51.out in public after dark. In other words come he does not think it is a
:12:52. > :12:56.good idea for children and his pupils to be all sides night
:12:57. > :12:59.unaccompanied. I also spoke to some local people to get their reaction
:13:00. > :13:00.about this and this is what they said.
:13:01. > :13:04.And especially in the supermarket car park.
:13:05. > :13:06.There, after ten at night, you will see nothing but
:13:07. > :13:10.So where is the safety for the public around here?
:13:11. > :13:13.There's been a lot of trouble since that college down there was built.
:13:14. > :13:15.You get gangs and kids coming from the
:13:16. > :13:23.But after 13 or 14, if there's two or three,
:13:24. > :13:42.Mr Doherty, the headteacher, said these were nice boys, not boys
:13:43. > :13:46.looking for trouble. The police said they have arrested five people for
:13:47. > :13:48.robbery and assault and the boy and the shopkeeper are both recovering.
:13:49. > :13:49.Thank you. Bed blocking continues to be
:13:50. > :13:51.a problem for six health trusts in our region,
:13:52. > :13:53.which have recorded their highest ever number of days lost to delays
:13:54. > :13:58.in discharging patients. The incidents happen when patients
:13:59. > :14:01.no longer need to be in hospital, but other suitable care
:14:02. > :14:03.isn't in place. Areas affected include
:14:04. > :14:05.the Wye Valley, But in Dudley, health services
:14:06. > :14:10.are being radically re-organised so more patients can be kept
:14:11. > :14:12.out of hospital. They are trying to create a ?3.5bn
:14:13. > :14:15.ten-year contract to bring health Here's our Health Correspondent,
:14:16. > :14:32.Michele Paduano. My hips hurt, my back hurt and I was
:14:33. > :14:33.in terrible pain. And that was it. I was just feeling very down.
:14:34. > :14:37.Barry Rose is one of the 2% most in need of long-term care in Dudley.
:14:38. > :14:39.He has diabetes and severe arthritis, but isolation was also
:14:40. > :14:48.He's one of 30 cases being discussed at this team meeting.
:14:49. > :14:54.The last solution was to get him to a breakfast club
:14:55. > :15:02.With the breakfast club, I can now talk to the people who I find all a
:15:03. > :15:05.lot worse than I was. It makes me feel better. And it is the best
:15:06. > :15:06.thing I've ever done. Simple interventions like this can
:15:07. > :15:19.keep poorly patients out What we've seen so far is like a 30%
:15:20. > :15:23.reduction in GP visit since the projects began. It saves probably
:15:24. > :15:24.around ?2000 estimated based on 38 clients.
:15:25. > :15:27.It might seem obvious to get everyone who delivers care together.
:15:28. > :15:28.But traditionally, it doesn't happen.
:15:29. > :15:30.The social worker works for the council.
:15:31. > :15:32.This nurse for a mental health trust.
:15:33. > :15:40.This man has the task of creating one ?350m
:15:41. > :15:50.They want us to work across the organisation and within the NHS, to
:15:51. > :15:55.work better together and provide them in much better coordinate care.
:15:56. > :15:56.We would use the team and terminal without Walls, enabling our staff to
:15:57. > :15:59.work effectively with each other. But there are consequences,
:16:00. > :16:07.particularly for hospitals. These are big changes. At least ?30
:16:08. > :16:11.million and rumour has it up to ?50 million of funding that goes to the
:16:12. > :16:15.hospital will now go to this new organisation. And then there are
:16:16. > :16:16.fears its privatisation, the private company taking over the whole
:16:17. > :16:17.contract. The NHS here thinks it's
:16:18. > :16:20.the right way to go, bringing care closer
:16:21. > :16:23.to those who need it. A whistle-blower has claimed that
:16:24. > :16:26.staff at the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch were pressured
:16:27. > :16:29.into admitting patients to a "virtual ward" to avoid
:16:30. > :16:32.breaching the government's But the Worcestershire Acute
:16:33. > :16:40.Hospitals Trust says while it's found cases of "poor recording"
:16:41. > :16:42.by staff, there is no evidence staff were trying
:16:43. > :16:45.to defraud the system. Thanks for joining us

:17:19. > :17:22.February, as she prepared She told us she was doing it so she
:17:23. > :17:27.could see her daughter grow up. I don't feel like I'm missing out

:17:52. > :18:08.life-changing scenario really. Gone from having no confidence
:18:09. > :18:11.to quite a bit of confidence, Here you go, this is my typical
:18:12. > :18:18.lunch, on a side plate. And that is enough
:18:19. > :18:21.for me to fill me up. And there's no going back
:18:22. > :18:23.to big meals, but this sacrifice means she'll get
:18:24. > :18:26.to see her daughter grow up. She even told me I am
:18:27. > :18:35.quite a trendy mum now. She's come back to the
:18:36. > :18:40.Worcestershire Royal Michelle's weight loss means she no
:18:41. > :18:48.longer has type-two diabetes. Looking at the results,
:18:49. > :18:50.you've done really well. She's now no longer having
:18:51. > :18:54.any treatment for her diabetes and that is a major,
:18:55. > :18:57.major benefit for her and her future And with soaring costs
:18:58. > :19:01.for treating diabetes, the NHS is increasing its spending
:19:02. > :19:07.on operations like these. In this region, we are seeing
:19:08. > :19:09.progress in more funding for this type of and it is being
:19:10. > :19:12.recognised that these patients can benefit hugely from this
:19:13. > :19:15.kind of treatment. For Michelle, it's time to get out

:21:34. > :21:35.buried with six chickens. I've never heard of
:21:36. > :21:37.anything like it before. So this could mean these
:21:38. > :21:49.predate the church, so they were here well before
:21:50. > :21:51.this was consecrated ground, or there is some
:21:52. > :21:57.other bizarre explanation. Well, there are builders
:21:58. > :21:58.working, there's archaeologists digging,
:21:59. > :22:00.it is chaos here! But in the church, it's

:22:03. > :22:12.amid the busyness outdoors. What do worshippers think
:22:13. > :22:14.of the discoveries? We are absolutely
:22:15. > :22:16.amazed and thrilled and think perhaps now our church
:22:17. > :22:19.will be on the map. People will actually
:22:20. > :22:20.know we are here. I grew up around here,
:22:21. > :22:23.so it is lovely to know that this site is much richer
:22:24. > :22:25.than we ever thought And the priest now knows his church
:22:26. > :22:31.once had a bigger presence. Everybody has thought
:22:32. > :22:33.this is a tiny little church and even refer
:22:34. > :22:34.to it as a shed, totally inconsequential
:22:35. > :22:39.and on the edge of Shrewsbury, and yet, obviously, once, it was much
:22:40. > :22:44.bigger and much more important. The animal and some
:22:45. > :22:46.human remains will eventually be reburied in a funeral

:22:59. > :23:06.in touch with us today to say that at the end of today's dig,

:23:13. > :23:27.for dating and analysis. Let 's receiving can return to the
:23:28. > :23:30.film premiere. It is great that this film features some landmarks on
:23:31. > :23:36.popular sites from Birmingham and the Black Country. Let 's talk to
:23:37. > :23:42.the producer now. It is very showcased in the film. What did you
:23:43. > :23:48.go to Birmingham? I've lived here the last 26 years, I am from
:23:49. > :23:54.Wolverhampton. Basically, all the other film-makers go for London and
:23:55. > :24:01.they underestimate the Black Country. There is so much to
:24:02. > :24:05.explore. That is why we decided to shoot in Birmingham. Of course, it
:24:06. > :24:11.has its world premiere and is being shown worldwide. Do you think it
:24:12. > :24:14.will attract other Indian -based directors to maybe think about
:24:15. > :24:18.coming to the West Midlands to shoot here rather than go to London?
:24:19. > :24:24.Definitely. We were talking yesterday to other directors and
:24:25. > :24:33.they are planning to shoot in Birmingham. They have already
:24:34. > :24:38.scripted the films and they are already planning to shoot here in
:24:39. > :24:46.Birmingham. That is great news. And also joined by this actor, who will
:24:47. > :24:51.you will probably recognise from Goodness Gracious Me! What is it
:24:52. > :24:57.like being in this form? You play the father of the main character's
:24:58. > :25:05.girlfriend. I was involved from day one. He turned up with this piece of
:25:06. > :25:10.work with the script and we looked at it and the audience he was
:25:11. > :25:15.looking to make it four, by setting it in Birmingham... And yet the
:25:16. > :25:19.other 50% is out in India! It has been a real joy working with the
:25:20. > :25:28.crew that has come from India, working in Birmingham and I am so
:25:29. > :25:33.happy that as a location, that this film has been made here. Lets hope
:25:34. > :25:36.for big audiences both the and in India.
:25:37. > :25:49.Yes, there have been reports. But there is the potential of this
:25:50. > :25:56.weekend to see some snow falling somewhere. It is very cold out
:25:57. > :26:00.there. This is a scene repeated right away across the West Midlands
:26:01. > :26:04.Today. We had slate grey skies everywhere. It has been very cold
:26:05. > :26:07.and temperatures only got a tee-macro Celsius in some places and
:26:08. > :26:14.we are already in minus figures in places. This weekend, it will stay
:26:15. > :26:19.increasingly chilly. It will be very cold. Temperatures staying around
:26:20. > :26:24.zero. We have plenty of cloud to, and we could start to see some
:26:25. > :26:28.wintry showers. Tonight, we still have that is delete feed drinking
:26:29. > :26:32.game that much colder air. It is starting to establish itself and
:26:33. > :26:36.will be a chilly night. As we see those winds blowing game, that cold
:26:37. > :26:41.air Contin used and eye on the map because it is a very cold night. We
:26:42. > :26:47.are starting to see the cloud squeeze out the odd shower as that
:26:48. > :26:54.means the colder air. It is likely to fall as sleet, possibly snow. It
:26:55. > :26:58.probably won't cause too much trouble. Temperatures of minus one.
:26:59. > :27:06.A little better in the centre of the region. There is an ice risks
:27:07. > :27:10.tomorrow morning, so take care. We continue to see wintry showers
:27:11. > :27:13.through the day and it will be a cloudy day, with temperatures not
:27:14. > :27:20.doing well at all. They should get to about 2-3 C at best, but the wind
:27:21. > :27:26.will be stronger tomorrow, so it's will feel colder. Tomorrow night,
:27:27. > :27:29.cold. Starting to see a little more in the way of wintry flurries as we
:27:30. > :27:35.head over night and again, temperatures dip to minus one.
:27:36. > :27:38.Saturday, more organised showers blowing from the east and there is
:27:39. > :27:45.the potential they could cause snow accumulations at low levels.
:27:46. > :27:55.Goodbye, I will be by later. OK, everyone, have you got
:27:56. > :28:02.your bamboo sticks? If you just paint
:28:03. > :28:03.what you want to paint, I've turned around,
:28:04. > :28:09.my painting washes away. ..and take on
:28:10. > :28:15.The Big Painting Challenge. Remember, you're not painting
:28:16. > :28:18.a pond.
