Her death was "preventable" - that's the conclusion | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
of the Shropshire coroner at the inquest of a newborn | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
baby who died from an infection caught at birth. | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
Pippa Griffiths was born in April last year but less than 24 hours | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
later she was seriously ill with a Group B Strep infection | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
Our health correspondent Michele Paduano reports. | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
Baby Pippa was born perfectly healthy in April last year | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
but she had a Streptococcus B infection and wouldn't feed. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Her mum, Kayleigh Griffiths, phoned the hospital twice | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
at 6.30pm and 2.55am, worried about her, | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
We have fought for the truth and ultimately | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
We've gone through hell and for people not to be honest | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
with us is just another kick when you are down, really. | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
At the inquest, Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital accepted it had | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
failed give the mother literature after Pippa's birth to identify | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
ill-health, failed to arrange a follow-up midwife visit within 24 | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
hours, and to do a proper inquiry during phone calls and check | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Midwife Claire Robinson, seen here with red hair, | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
denied she had been told about brown mucus in the 2.55am call, | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
but it was the earlier call that would have saved Pippa's life. | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
The coroner, John Ellery, said the case was uncontroversial - | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
baby Pippa's death was preventable if Mrs Griffiths had been given | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
the right information and if a systematic inquiry had | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
taken place when Mrs Griffiths phoned. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Offering the family condolences, he said it may be of no comfort | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
The trust did not declare this as a serious incident | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
Today it said on information originally received, | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
the death did not appear to meet the criteria. | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
Sarah Jamieson, seen here on the left, apologised | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
for the trust not providing appropriate care but said | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
If I didn't know the NHS processes for recording of serious incidents, | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
Mrs Griffiths is expecting again but she is terrified and hopes this | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
Staff at BMW's engine plant at Hams Hall in Warwickshire | :02:26. | :02:41. | |
are to stage a number of 24-hour strikes in a dispute over pensions. | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
The workers say they stand to lose thousands of pounds under plans | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
to stop their final salary pension scheme at the end of May. | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
Our reporter Laura May McMullan is at the plant for us now. | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
Yes, we now know that workers are going to stage | :02:53. | :03:03. | |
five 24-hour strikes, starting two weeks today. | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
Last month they staged a protest here over plans to end their final | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
salary pension scheme at the end of May and now It'll be the first | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
time staff at the company's UK operations have actually staged | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
a walk-out and that's because there's a lot at stake. | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
Well, Unite the union claims some of the employees could lose | :03:20. | :03:35. | |
a retirement income of more than ?150,000 and they're urging | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
the company to stand back from it's May deadline to find some | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
In response BMW says it's disappointed but does remain | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
A brother and sister from Birmingham have been charged | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
21-year-old Ummariyat Mirza has been charged with a purchasing a knife | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
and other items to help carry out an attack in the UK. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
His sister Zainub, who's 23, has been charged with distributing | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
The arrests were made in the Alum Rock area | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
Police say the charges aren't connected to | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
Six branches of Lloyds Bank and one branch of the Halifax | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
are to close in the Midlands between July and October. | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
They're among a programme of 400 branch closures | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
Lloyds said the closures are the result of fewer | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
A teaching assistant has won an unfair dismissal case | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
after being sacked for complaining about children being shown | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
Suriyah Bi was sent home from an academy in Birmingham | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
after raising concerns about the video showing the 9/11 | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
After 18 months of turmoil, Suriyah Bi at last feels vindicated. | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
In September 2015, she was a classroom assistant | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
Despite a clear age warning, a teacher played a video to a group | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
of 11 and 12-year-olds, some of them with | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
Have you ever seen anything like this? | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
I have seen at least ten people fall to their death. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
It was about the 9/11 terror attacks and showed people | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
jumping from windows - a video she complained | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
was inappropriate and a breach of safeguarding policy. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
They said there would be an investigation. | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
They said I did the right thing raising the concern but 40 minutes | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
later they called me from my lesson and they told me the school | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
was no longer a suitable place for me to work | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
at because I was uncomfortable with the curriculum. | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
Suriyah Bi's complaint led to her sacking and she brought | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
As a student herself, she was head girl at Saltley School - | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
a school later linked to the so-called Trojan Horse affair | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
and allegations that conservative-minded Muslims | :05:54. | :05:54. | |
were seeking to exert undue influence. | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
She thinks her complaint about the video was construed | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
by the school as a complaint that they were anti-Muslim. | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
Although the tribunal agreed Suriyah Bi was unfairly dismissed, | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
they rejected her claim that she was discriminated | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
In a statement, the chain running the school, E-Act, | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
said they were disappointed by the tribunal's main finding, | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
telling us, "Heartlands is an outstanding academy | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
which prides itself on cultural inclusiveness and providing | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
Three years ago, E-Act lost control of ten academies | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
after inspectors raised concerns about their performance. | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
Suriyah's MP has supported her claim for unfair dismissal. | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
The Secretary of State has got involved with this academy chain | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
before but now the Secretary of State, I think, has got to get | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
stuck in again to get to the bottom of what went wrong and to assure us | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
and to assure parents that there's not a systemic problem with this | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
academy chain that is looking after so many of our children. | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
An Oxford graduate, Suriyah Bi represented herself at the tribunal | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
and is writing a book about her journey from | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
The showjumper Nick Skelton, who was Britain's oldest Olympic | :07:05. | :07:17. | |
gold medallist at the Rio games last year, is to retire. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
He was competing at his seventh Games. | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
Katie Gornall went to meet Nick and his Olympic | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
winning horse Big Star at his Warwickshire stables. | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
If ever there was someone for whom age is just a number, | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
Last summer in Rio, the showjumper became Britain's second oldest | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
Olympic gold medallist, but now, with his 60th | :07:43. | :07:43. | |
birthday on the horizon, Skelton and his famous horse, | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
Big Star, will be taking things a little easier. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
I think any sportsman will tell you, you think | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
You never want to stop, but you have to at some point. | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
And I don't think it is a better time to stop knowing | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Skelton has spent more than four decades at the top of his sport. | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
He still holds the British record for jumping the highest fence, | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
clearing over seven foot seven on Lastic in 1978. | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Ten years later, he competed in the first of his seven Olympics | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
in Seoul, but the big prize eluded him until 2012 when he won | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
team gold in London, an achievement all the more | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
remarkable as just 12 years earlier he had suffered a broken neck. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Back then, he thought his career was over. | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
They said I shouldn't ride again and I didn't ride for a couple | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
of years and I got back going again because I think I had a great | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
horse at the time that I really looked forward to, | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
thought he was going to be really good, and he was, | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
and then I thought, when I finished with him, that would be it and then | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
Big Star came along and so I had to do it all over again. | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
His is a story that has certainly captured people's attention. | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
Last year he finished third in Sports Personality of the Year. | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
I think it is the age factor, I think. | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
Some old guy doing what I did, winning gold. | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
I think it is inspirational for elder folks. | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
Skelton has always said it is as much about the horse as him. | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
In Big Star, he found one worthy of his name and together | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
Two football results to tell you about this evening. | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
In the Championship, Burton went down 1-0 | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
Burton are four points above the relegation places. | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
In League Two, it was back down to earth after their Wembley | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
extravaganza for Coventry, I'm afraid. | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
They lost 2-0 at Sheffield United and remain firmly rooted | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
at the bottom of the table, 13 points from safety. | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
I'll leave you with the weather from Rebecca. | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
And what was a quite cloudy start, things brightened up. Temperatures | :09:49. | :10:02. | |
up to 14 Celsius in some parts. Quite a pleasant end to the day. | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
This was the seen before the sun went down. Tonight, we keep a | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
blanket of cloud. Last night was chilly, with a touch of frost in | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
some spots. Tonight, the cloud will help to lift temperatures. But | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
across parts of Herefordshire, perhaps a touch of frost in | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
sheltered spots. High pressure dominates at the moment. Very little | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
wind tomorrow so little to break up the cloud. It will sit across us for | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
much of the day. Quite high cloud, so it will be a bright day, and at | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
times it will break, and then temperatures will get better. And | :10:44. | :10:53. | |
then we reset for Friday, more of the same, high-pressure still | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
keeping is settled. Perhaps a little more brightness coming from the | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
north. The weekend looks spectacular with temperatures back up into | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
or 15. It is sunny towards the weekend and we could see the low 20s | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
by Sunday. Here is Darren with the national weather. | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
Hello. The weather has been a big news in North America across the | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
Masters in Augusta, for the first time the par-3 competition was | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
abandoned, the storms moving away and sunshine windy for a while. | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
Temperatures about 17, which is on a par with what we had today in the | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
south-east of Wales, blue skies around here. That's from one of our | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
weather watchers. More sunshine over the next few days. Little or no rain | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
once again, it's looking dry and as we get more sunshine, especially in | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
England and Wales this weekend, it will be warming up. In stark | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
contrast with what we are seeing at the moment, dhil chilly out there | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
where we have clearer skies across the West Country, eastern | :11:54. | :11:54. |
