A young woman who took an overdose after naked photos

:00:10.:00:12.

of her were shared online, is taking her message about online

:00:13.:00:15.

Today the Government announced sex education will become compulsory

:00:16.:00:19.

in all England's classrooms, with an emphasis on

:00:20.:00:22.

For Terri-Anne Fell, so-called sexting and cyber bullying

:00:23.:00:26.

Our special correspondent Peter Wilson has the details.

:00:27.:00:34.

And what do you guys know about cyber bullying?

:00:35.:00:41.

Terri-Anne Fell talks to these ten-year-olds at this

:00:42.:00:46.

But for her, online abuse and bullying is

:00:47.:00:51.

At 12, she was meeting men in Internet chat rooms.

:00:52.:01:00.

By 15, she was sending nude photos of herself to

:01:01.:01:02.

He ended up showing all of his friends and when

:01:03.:01:08.

one of them told me in the middle of an argument,

:01:09.:01:11.

I had just given up on

:01:12.:01:12.

It doesn't seem a lot, but it was 15 paracetamol.

:01:13.:01:17.

Nude or sexual texting has become such an

:01:18.:01:19.

increasing problem, that the police are also taking to the classrooms.

:01:20.:01:21.

A leading charity says that more than

:01:22.:01:23.

10% of teenage girls aged 12 to 14 have sent or

:01:24.:01:29.

Do not feel pressured by anyone, whether it is your friends, a

:01:30.:01:40.

family member or somebody you don't even know,

:01:41.:01:42.

because it can be more damaging than you think and it will

:01:43.:01:45.

Children's charities like the NSPCC said

:01:46.:01:48.

there is no escape from online abuse and that those abusers can contact

:01:49.:01:52.

them at any time of the day or night and that they can also enter their

:01:53.:01:56.

Suzanne Skeet runs a national company seeking to raise awareness

:01:57.:02:08.

We've had children that have got into cars, where they

:02:09.:02:17.

And thankfully, we actually managed to

:02:18.:02:24.

get them out of the cars, because it was outside school

:02:25.:02:27.

We find children have been exploited sexually where

:02:28.:02:31.

they have been asked to take photos of themselves.

:02:32.:02:33.

That having gone online, they've had horrific

:02:34.:02:35.

None of the pupils at Chilcott primary school

:02:36.:02:38.

have suffered such incidents, but what have they learned from today?

:02:39.:02:41.

If you ever get some nasty text messages,

:02:42.:02:42.

then you should always go and tell a responsible adult.

:02:43.:02:45.

You give one piece of information away,

:02:46.:02:47.

that can give lots of different pieces of information, so it will

:02:48.:02:49.

make it easier for the person who sees that information to track you.

:02:50.:02:53.

Teenline has an online petition calling for greater safeguards to

:02:54.:02:55.

And if you have been affected by this story

:02:56.:03:06.

or want more information, there are links to organisations

:03:07.:03:08.

that can help on the BBC Action line website -

A man has died after being assaulted in Coventry city

:03:12.:03:22.

68-year-old Patrick Redmond was taken to hospital with a serious

:03:23.:03:27.

head injury after being punched at Riley's Snooker hall

:03:28.:03:29.

A 37-year-old man, from the Radford area of the city, has been arrested

:03:30.:03:37.

and is being questioned on suspicion of murder.

:03:38.:03:39.

The City of Wolverhampton Council has confirmed it is taking over

:03:40.:03:42.

the investigation into the death of Tahnie Martin.

:03:43.:03:44.

The 29-year-old from Stafford, died last Thursday

:03:45.:03:45.

when she was hit by a piece of falling debris during

:03:46.:03:48.

West Midlands Police have confirmed there will NOT be

:03:49.:03:51.

The supermarket giant Tesco has pulled out of a scheme

:03:52.:03:58.

Locals had hoped the new store would create jobs and boost

:03:59.:04:03.

Plans for a superstore in Stirchley in Birmingham

:04:04.:04:06.

But today Tesco told local people they've reviewed the project

:04:07.:04:10.

and taken the difficult decision to withdraw from it.

:04:11.:04:12.

Not deprived, but not affluent either.

:04:13.:04:24.

In the South Birmingham suburb of Stirchley,

:04:25.:04:26.

Locals have spent years waiting for Tesco to build a

:04:27.:04:30.

superstore here, but out of the blue,

:04:31.:04:31.

I have worked with them for 15 years to develop

:04:32.:04:36.

It was a massive regeneration project herand was going

:04:37.:04:42.

to be an anchor site which was going to kick-start the regeneration of

:04:43.:04:45.

Stirchley, but now it will not happen, jobs will not be created.

:04:46.:04:49.

Just before Christmas, council planners approved

:04:50.:04:51.

site nearby which is currently a gym and bowling alley,

:04:52.:04:56.

The MP for the area says this was the last straw.

:04:57.:05:01.

I accept it is a commercial decision and we know we are going

:05:02.:05:05.

through a tough period, and obviously, it was a commercial

:05:06.:05:11.

decision to build a Lidl and was helped by the

:05:12.:05:17.

the other week to have another supermarket

:05:18.:05:21.

Not everyone sees Tesco as saviours though.

:05:22.:05:24.

This bicycle shop is one of several collectives on the

:05:25.:05:26.

high Street, part of a move toward smaller, independent shops.

:05:27.:05:30.

What we've seen in Stirchley recently

:05:31.:05:31.

lots of new businesses showing an interest

:05:32.:05:33.

and the ones that put the

:05:34.:05:35.

interests of the community first, so looking and interacting with what

:05:36.:05:37.

people want on building the businesses up in

:05:38.:05:39.

Whatever comes next, locals say it is time they

:05:40.:05:51.

There's an opportunity now for the local

:05:52.:05:55.

community to discuss what they would like on the site and they can get

:05:56.:05:59.

more involved so we don't have another 17 years of dereliction.

:06:00.:06:10.

Tesco hub of the land on the market is saying they hope they can play a

:06:11.:06:13.

positive part in the area's future. Worcestershire County Cricket Club

say they're looking at the option of selling off the naming rights

:06:26.:06:29.

with a potential sponsor. It's been the home of Worcestershire

to compose the score I didn't know whether they wanted

me to act or to sing And they said, no,

conservatoire, Laura entered the charts with her own

unique singing style. But once asked to write the music

for the RSC, she took just a fortnight to complete

the arrangement and fulfil I'm always looking

for different ways in which I can express myself

and I never imagined I would be able So, as corny as it sounds,

it is a dream for me. Every production

at the RSC has a new And today, the composer put the band

Laura write her music, which very much has her signature

as producing this music, which is another fabulous

score for that play. She is asking us to try

:08:58.:09:05.

different things and it is great to be part of

:09:06.:09:07.

that process, to see what she is thinking

:09:08.:09:09.

and the kinds of sounds that she wants us

:09:10.:09:14.

to be able to help recreate. Has the Birmingham singer ever been

the weather from Shefali. Good evening. It wasn't a bad start

:09:42.:09:55.

for the first day of the meteorological spring and it is

:09:56.:10:00.

already March, time is flying. We have pleasant sunshine to start the

:10:01.:10:03.

day and then the cloud gradually thickened up from the south and I

:10:04.:10:06.

was ahead of this frontal system that is currently pushing in from

:10:07.:10:11.

the south and across northern parts right now. They will produce no and

:10:12.:10:14.

by tomorrow, high-pressure clears things up and we have more

:10:15.:10:19.

substantial rain moving up from the south for Friday. This is how it is

:10:20.:10:23.

looking into the weekend. Unsettled and wintry even though it is spring

:10:24.:10:28.

for the meteorologists at least. They will be cold. Not as gusty, but

:10:29.:10:33.

quite wintry. This is how tonight is looking. We still have a showery

:10:34.:10:37.

outbreaks of rain across most parts, but they will restrict themselves to

:10:38.:10:41.

the north until snow across the highest roots of course and then

:10:42.:10:45.

temperatures it will be dropping to around 2-3 C. We continue to say

:10:46.:10:50.

showery outbreaks of rain across the North for a time tomorrow, a wintry

:10:51.:10:56.

mix and some of those are much drier toward the afternoon. Top

:10:57.:11:00.

temperatures between a - 10 Celsius. The national forecast follows.

:11:01.:11:03.

outlook. A whole load of 11 is. What does that mean? Maybe John Hammond

:11:04.:11:07.

will tell you. We're in for a bumpy ride. The

:11:08.:11:16.

weather chopping and changing keeping us on our toes. Rain never

:11:17.:11:20.

too far away from our crystal ball. There has been rain around today

:11:21.:11:24.

across southern areas. This band of wet weather pushing through Wales

:11:25.:11:27.

and the Midlands. A little bit of the white stuff mixed in over the

:11:28.:11:31.

high ground Snowdonia, some snow for an trans-Pennine routes as well.

:11:32.:11:36.

Snow at low levels through the night. Further south the main story

:11:37.:11:40.

is the strength of the wind. Blustery. Gales on the western coast

:11:41.:11:43.

and through the English Channel.
