The parents of a 13-month-old boy from Worcestershire who drowned | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
in the bath have both been jailed for manslaughter. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
The court heard that Kian Dale had been left unattended | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
for up to 13 minutes, while Wayne Dale and Lisa Passey | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
Dale was jailed for four and a half years and Passey for four years. | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
In the quiet Worcestershire town of Tenbury Wells | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
they were a familiar sight on the High Street. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Everyone thought they were good parents. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
I just thought they were normal, responsible parents | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
because he always had the kid on his shoulders going around | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
town and she would be pushing a pushchair. | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
Maria Fernandez was a neighbour who often spoke to the couple. | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
She was at home on the day Kian died. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
I saw them in the garden so at the point I was seeing them | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
the baby must have been in the bath, so it was quite shocking for me | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
And thinking that the baby was over there and I couldn't do anything. | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
The court heard that that day window came screaming down the stairs with | :01:16. | :01:30. | |
his son in his arms. He had found him with his head and upper body | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
immersed in the water. A retired nurse living a few doors | :01:33. | :01:33. | |
up came to try and resuscitate Kian The air ambulance landed | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
in the school playing fields opposite, and Kian was taken | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
to Birmingham Children's Hospital, The case rested on the amount | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
of time that Kian had been in the bath and we identified | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
a period of up to 13 minutes. We worked that out from witness | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
testimony and we also identified that Wayne had used a computer | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
whilst Kian was in the bath, so we analysed that computer | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
and that computer gave us certain evidence around how it had been used | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
during that period of time. This was where Passey and Dale had | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
been entertaining a friend, smoking and drinking coffee as Kian | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
was in the bath Bath seats can give | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
you a false sense of security. They enable you to back your child | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
without keeping hold of them at all times, | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
and that's maybe where the problem arises, parents think their child | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
is securely supported in the bath, that they're not going to slip under | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
the water, but as this tragic case highlights, | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
that can still happen and in fact it's not the first time that we've | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
heard of a child falling out News of Kian's parents' conviction | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
has divided this country town. It's pretty defenceless at that | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
age, so no, I'm afraid During her trial Lisa Passey said | :02:45. | :02:57. | |
she didn't want pity. to have gone upstairs | :02:58. | :03:08. | |
to be with Kian. I think it's going to have a big | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
effect on her mentally The guilt is going to | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
be deadly, I think. I don't know how she would feel, | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
but I wouldn't be able It's one big, giant | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
mistake, isn't it? Hundreds of drivers spent up to four | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
hours trapped on the M40 earlier after police closed the road to deal | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
with an incident. The motorway is now open again | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
but traffic problems have continued Our reporter Amy Cole | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
has the details. As you can hear the motorway is back | :03:40. | :03:55. | |
open and traffic is moving well but motorists have had a miserable day. | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
The motorway was closed at junction 16 near Henley in Arden, down to | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
junction 15 in near Warwick at around 3:15pm. | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
It was all because police were concerned about | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
Specialist negotaiators were brought in and an ambualnce | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Specialist negotaiators were brought in and an ambualance | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
The incident was eventually resolved just after 7.00pm this evening. | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
As well as the M40, there were also long delays on the M42, the A46, | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
the A452 and many other routes as a result of the motorway closure | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Many drivers took to social media to vent their frustration | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
while they were trapped on the motorway below me. | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
Some were concerned about missing tonight's | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
concert by Bruno Mars at the Barclaycard | :04:35. | :04:35. | |
But another, Gail Poultney from Staffordshire, took time out | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
to tweet her thanks to Walsall coach company JK International after one | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
of its drivers opened their on-board toilet after she'd been stuck | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Traffic is now moving well again tonight. | :04:47. | :04:57. | |
A 21-year-old Birmingham woman has tonight been charged | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
Officers from the West Midlands Counter Terrorism unit arrested | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Madihah Taheer at an address in the city this morning as part | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
She will appear before Westminster magistrates tomorrow. | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
If you're a regular train traveller, you'll appreciate having | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
London Midland is joining other train companies | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
by offering just that, and something else, | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
on-board entertainment, including films to watch. | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
It's hoped it will be available on 70% of trains | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
Here's our Transport correspondent Peter Plisner. | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
Fancy watching a blockbuster movie next time you're on the train? | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
Now you can, and although it's only a limited selection in the future | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
Passengers we spoke to this morning seem to like the idea. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
There are cartoons on there which is handy when you have children. | :05:45. | :05:53. | |
It will keep you entertained when I take this train. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
Yeah, it's good but they could have a bit more on there. | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
The entertainment firm behind the new system says there's | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
We have a range of movies and 50 hours of television, ranging across | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
all genres. But for people who just | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
want to work free wi-fi If you've used online Wi-Fi systems | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
on trains before you how slow they can be but this promises | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
to be different because a lot of the content people will be | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
watching is already on board But London Midland is pretty late | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
in the game with on board wi-fi. Virgin Trains has had it for years, | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
but it's only free in First class. It's a similar picture on board | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
with Cross Country trains. Both both Chiltern Railways | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
and Arriva Trains Wales allows free The new train entertainment system | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
go live officially from tomorrow and it'll be available | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
on all London Midland long distance It's the dream of anyone | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
who is challenged with the big bills which come with an historic building | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
- being left a valuable work of art. That's what's happened | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
to Lichfield Cathedral. It's been given a painting | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
by the world renowned After spending two centuries | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
in private hands, the watercolour Painted by Turner in 1832, | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
this watercolour hasn't been seen collection and has been bequeathed | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
to Lichfield Cathedral. If you know Lichfield, | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
you will know this scene because this is Minster Pool, | :07:25. | :07:35. | |
but we also know it is his own because it is in his | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
own perspective. That's a characteristic of his, | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
he moved to capture light, so every pilgrim to the cathedral | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
will have seen it for 1,300 years, Alongside the painting | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
are Turner's sketches, many of which he did as a young man | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
before he completed These studies possibly | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
haven't been along with the final watercolour piece since | :07:57. | :08:15. | |
they were in Turner's studio, that's quite special, | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
to have the opportunity to stand and look at where possibly the last | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
person who saw them all together The three spires of Lichfield | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
Cathedral have inspired artists for centuries and alongside | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
the pitched by Turner, there are paintings from other | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
artists who captured this building's distinctive and awe-inspiring | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
architecture. Every artist has seen the cathedral | :08:31. | :08:31. | |
with their own image and evolve Every artist has seen the cathedral | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
with their own image and they've all It's that kind of domination | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
and that kind of, like, wow factor, that impact, | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
that is inspiring. I've always been a great fan | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
of Turner since I was a boy The exhibition is free and is open | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
daily for the next six weeks. It's a rare chance to see | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
a collection of paintings celebrating one of the Midlands' | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
most magnificent buildings. The gritters are out tonight | :08:58. | :09:08. | |
in parts of the region, which will give you an idea of how | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
the temperatures are going to fall. I'll leave you with a rather wintery | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
forecast from Shefali. Good evening. If only it was an | :09:15. | :09:26. | |
April falls, but it isn't and we are being tricked into thinking it is | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
winter this week when it is spring. Believe it or not we had these kind | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
of conditions this time last year as well. | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
Temperatures are tumbling this week post-cold front, | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
which was slipping southwards through the day. | :09:41. | :09:41. | |
So you can see from our Weather Watchers' picture | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
how the weather altered as it went along. | :09:45. | :09:45. | |
Cloudy across the north to begin with, then the sun appeared | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
It brought rain to the south, and a couple of hours ago | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
We have a legacy of cold air for the middle part of the weekend | :09:53. | :10:05. | |
temperatures will tumble and we have snow shovels and blustery winds as | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
well. That adds a wind chill and then the temperature picks up on | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Friday for the bank holiday weekend. The cold front is to the south of | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
sand out of the way. Rush of showers are developing behind it. High | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
pressure is dominant to the Western that will kill off the shower | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
activity on Thursday and Friday. Tonight we have largely clear skies | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
across us right now said temperatures tumble to near freezing | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
in the countryside. A touch of Frost around the wind picks up and a few | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
showers in West tonight. They develop quite widely in the course | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
of tomorrow with a lot of sunshine in between but you know about it if | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
you are caught in no showers. It is windy and cold and temperatures are | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
nine to 11 but much colder in the showers but don't forget the | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
wind-chill. The shells contain hail thunder and snow on the wind -- | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
hilltops. The National weather forecast is next. | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
course, there'll be the threat of some rain. More with the national | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
forecast now. Good evening. It's been turning | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
colder from the north so far today. It's been cold enough for | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
significant snow in northern Scotland. This was mid afternoon. | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
More recently it's been blowing around over the tops of the | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
mountains. Snow in April not necessarily unusual but it's usually | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
unwelcome. The colder air coming in behind the front which clears | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
towards the near continent, opening the floodgates to this Coldstream of | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
air all the way from the Arctic. That cold air increasingly | :11:38. | :11:39. |
