The levels of violence had happened in that prison everyday frighten the | :00:00. | :00:25. | |
hell out of me. A new scheme aimed at reducing | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
the number of attacks on West Mercia And as the number of rough | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
sleepers continues to rise, a former football boss explains why | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
he set up a homeless hostel. I couldn't see any way of helping | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
them unless you get a bit close to them and they have got confidence in | :00:44. | :00:44. | |
you. There are claims this lunchtime that | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
large numbers of officers at Birmingham Prison have been | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
going sick or leaving their jobs because of increasing levels | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
of violence in the jail. Last month, a riot at the prison saw | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
inmates gain control over four wings, causing damage estimated | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
at more than two million pounds. Our special correspondent, | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
Peter Wilson is outside Peter, who's making | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
these allegations? It's the former head of the prison | :01:13. | :01:24. | |
officers Association, he says that up to 60 members of staff have gone | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
sick since the riots and that riot so prisoners attacking members of | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
with fire hoses and paint. Brian with fire hoses and paint. Brian | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
the levels of stress that prison the levels of stress that prison | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
officers are facing. The levels of violence that happen in that prison | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
everyday frighten the hell out of me. I have seen staff badly | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
assaulted, I have seen staff assaulted the point where they would | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
no longer wish to come back to work and have walked away from the job. | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
It is widely believed that drugs may have played a role in this? That's | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
right, I have been speaking to an right, I have been speaking to an | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
independent mentors who talk to young people inside this jail. His | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
name is Lloyd Robinson. They can influence other prisoners inside, | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
they are quite powerful people, if they are truly the sentences, and | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
they have no hope, then that becomes their life and therefore they | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
organise where they are and take advantage of any vulnerabilities of | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
authorities saying? I have been authorities saying? I have been | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
speaking to G4S who run the prison, they say two thirds of staff who | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
transferred from the public sector to them six years ago are still here | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
stop I have also been parking to the stop I have also been parking to the | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
independent monitoring board and were just when Dales who heads that. | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
Things are back to normal, Things are back to normal, | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
everything I would expect to see is happening, they has been good work | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
done by officers, the biggest issue in prisons remains that drugs | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
coming, remains that prisoners on occasion can be volatile within | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
prison, that is part and parcel of prison, that is part and parcel of | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
prison life and what they have to deal with. Because of the riots, all | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
the keys and locked inside the jail are having to be changed and that | :03:26. | :03:26. | |
continues today. A new scheme is being launched aimed | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
at reducing the number of attacks The area's Police and Crime | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
Commissioner says the initiative - which is called 'Behind the Badge' - | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
is all about changing attitudes to his officers. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Elizabeth Glinka reports. For many officers dealing with the | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
threat of violence is part of the job. Attacks don't just happen in | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
our inner cities. PC Sherry Clifford our inner cities. PC Sherry Clifford | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
was just five weeks out of training would she was kicked in the face | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
outside a club. The pain was excruciating, not me out for a few | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
seconds and then it was more, have seconds and then it was more, have | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
to get back up because he is still fighting. I had a full on kick | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
through the face, I lost a tooth and a large factor down the side, I had | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
a massively swollen face for about three or four weeks, and now I'm | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
campaign aims to highlight the campaign aims to highlight the | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
impact of violence on those wearing the uniform. We are a very large | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
rural force so we do have a lease officers out there, sometimes | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
want to make sure the community want to make sure the community | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
plays their part. In 2016 the first treat body cameras would have been | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
shown to reduce attacks on other part of the country. And from day | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
one officers received the sort of training. National figures show that | :04:50. | :04:58. | |
there is an attack on a police officer every 20 minutes and here in | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
the West Mercer area, over an 18 month period, there were 850 salts. | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
However well trained, not everyone trusts the police and the job | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
remains unpredictable. Officers have suffered a variety of injuries, | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
can be traumatic and officers have can be traumatic and officers have | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
the bin lid with the injuries they may have suffered. The hope is that | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
the number of those injuries can be reduced. | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
Last year the former Stoke City manager Lou Macari helped to set up | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
a temporary homeless hostel, in conjunction with the council. | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
It was only intended as a two-month trial - | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
but thanks to his campaigning, it's still in operation. | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
And as new figures show today, the need is there, with the number | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
of rough sleepers across the region on the rise. | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
Lou Macari says vital support is needed to help get | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
It's probably our best guess of the month. I couldn't see any way of | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
helping the money to get close to them and they have got a bit of | :06:01. | :06:01. | |
confidence in you. And then confidence in you. And then | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
gradually, they start to tell you all about themselves. Without | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
knowing about them, you can't help them. We have that bit of banter, | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
then I go home, walk out the door. Then I go to a nice warm home, I've | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
got a job that week, money in my pocket... And leave them here and | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
they haven't, you know. It somewhere safe to sleep. It somewhere you can | :06:30. | :06:39. | |
get a hot meal, a shower. And it somewhere that you can get support, | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
you can speak to the staff here. It makes a massive difference. Without | :06:43. | :06:51. | |
this place... It's nice to come here and call it home. You connection | :06:52. | :07:00. | |
call it home. Trying to describe it to them where we are, getting | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
around, ten years from now, let's say... It's that one-way system in | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
Stoke! The ring road. He just keep going round and round it and | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
of people staying here have been of people staying here have been | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
round the system for ages, the same system as you have talked about, | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
round and round and eventually we have got to try and get them into | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
another system, which is the normal way of life. We can help them try | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
and achieve that, that would be brilliant. | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
It's been announced that the international singing star | :07:42. | :07:42. | |
Celine Dion will be performing in Birmingham this summer as part | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
She'll be taking to the stage at the Barclaycard Arena | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
on July 27th for a series of concerts which will see her | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
return to the UK and Europe for the first time in eight years. | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
Tickets go on sale on February the 3rd. | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
It seems our weather watchers have mastered the art of making the frog | :08:08. | :08:20. | |
looked good, the Southeast was the most prone to it today. However, we | :08:21. | :08:29. | |
are looking at quite a clear line dividing the boundary with cloud and | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
clear sky, you can see this from a satellite picture, this mass of | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
cloud and rain bearing, which will affect us by the time we get to | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
Friday and Saturday. Cloudy conditions to the east this | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
afternoon, brilliant sunshine for Central and western parts of the | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
region. Heading into this evening and overnight, that cloud will start | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
to extend across the western parts, we have colder air undercutting that | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
say temperatures will plummet stop that would lead to a widely | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
widespread frost. It's going to be a widespread frost. It's going to be a | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
frosty start to the day on Thursday, quite a cloudy one, with a few snow | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
grains but mostly dry conditions. Temperatures very cold, in some | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
places 0 degrees. That's all from us. Have a good | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
afternoon. Should've seen Hillary's face. | :09:28. | :09:45. | |
She was stood there with Bill. Because she's going to an | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
event to celebrate a job that she didn't get and the | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
person closest to her, to reassure her, to tell her it's | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
going to be OK, is a person who's already had | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
that job. Yeah. She must be thinking, | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
"Where can I go?" It's just pain, | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
but it doesn't feel like pain, it feels much more violent, | :10:16. | :10:27. | |
dark and exciting. | :10:28. | :10:30. |
