sima kotecha, bbc news, birmingham. spoke to andrea albutt, president of the prison govoners association, and i asked what she thought the problems are at birmingham prison. i think what we are hearing at birmingham we have heard in a number of prisons recently. this isn't the public versus eight private sector issue, this is about the resourcing of prisons. in recent years there have been significant government austerity measures and those measures have resulted in inadequate staffing levels and it has allowed things like drugs to enter our prisons, the staff prisoner relationship that we know make our presence safe are being compromised and birmingham isjust one more prison in a long line of prisons with these issues. the fact that birmingham has been run by gas, a private company, that is irrelevant in your view? it is irrelevant because the issues we are seeing at them and we have seen at liverpool, nottingham, exeter, albeit that birmingham seems to be at the fire and of issues. the fire and indeed because the chie

danny, is birmingham a one—off?s a one—off in the sense that this action that has been taken by the government is unprecedented, it has never stepped in midway through a contract to take over the running ofa a contract to take over the running of a private prison, but it is not a one—off in the sense that there are a number of prisons with similar problems, not quite on this scale, but peter clarke has issued urgent notification letters, warning notices to the government on publicly run prisons — nottingham, exeter. he was also very concerned about the conditions at liverpool and wormwood scrubs in london. so the problems you are seeing at birmingham are replicated elsewhere, it is not just birmingham are replicated elsewhere, it is notjust private versus public. the problems are about drugs, a population that is transient, very violent, and also staff reductions. since 2010, we have seen huge cutbacks, resources have seen huge cutbacks, resources have been stretched, and although more staff have gone in in the last

it does not run birmingham very well.h as nottingham and liverpool which are really struggling... this is not about public or private but some people may well painted in those terms. a british woman who survived after falling from a cruise ship off the coast of croatia is expected to be released from hospital shortly. kay longstaff endured ten hours in the sea after going overboard. from the norwegian star liner at around midnight on saturday. officials said the a6—year—old was rescued 60 miles offshore. dan johnson reports. kay longstaff, returning safely to dry land on a different sort of ship. the croatian coast guard rescued her from the sea after she spent a whole night treading water. i fell off the back of the norwegian star and i was in the water for ten hours. so, these wonderful guys rescued me. this is the moment she was pulled from the sea on sunday morning. her coast guard rescuers said she was tired and a bit sunburnt, but remarkably well, considering her ordeal. she is now recovering in hospital. she is fee

derek myers — killed in birmingham with a .44 revolver.ichi phillips — died after being fired at with a .38 revolver. every one of these handguns was brought into the country totally legally because they were classified as antiques. these types of weapon can and do kill. there is no restriction. the fact that it is a gun is neither here nor there. tonight, we reveal a loophole in the uk's gun laws causing death on our streets. and show how criminals can get their hands on fully functioning murder weapons. oh, wow, that was pretty easy. i couldn't believe it, to be honest. i'm greg mckenzie. in the last year alone, i've reported on five shootings for bbc news. police were called here to the walthamstow leisure centre on monday night to reports of gun fire, when they arrived they found a 16—year—old who reportedly been shot in... ..discovered two teenage boys who had been seriously injured from gun—shot wounds. they were taken to hospital where their condition is said to be non—life threatening... some get to me more than others. earlier thi

in relation to birmingham.ng, obviously. at the same time the government is pointing out that gas is running other prisons effectively. okehampton we did a report on, on bbc newsjust effectively. okehampton we did a report on, on bbc news just a week ago. it has had an outstanding review into its performance. the government can defend gas if it wishes. the government can give them a slap on the wrist and to say that if they convince us of this behaviour, they can have this contract at birmingham back in six months‘ time. i take a different view. i thinkjustice privatisation has clearly failed in our railways, —— just as privatisation. just as privatisation has clearly failed in relation to water and the rest of it. there is a racket going on. sorry to interrupt. when you are talking about privatisation in all other areas, it sounds like it is an ideological position, rather than looking specifically at this. if the government can take birmingham back under government control for six months and handed back to th

birmingham was taken over private sectors. birmingham was ta ken over by private sectors. from the institute in cambridge that in the first year it was making market improvement. so initially, it was successful. something seems to have happened in the last few years. last year, 2017, the chief inspector went there and it was struggling. they had just had a massive riot. but he described a team that was determined to revealed, that was determined to revealed, that was determined to revealed, that was determined to make improvements. and he said a lot of positive things about it. somewhere between that inspection last year and now, the prison seems to have totally lost its way. that is very alarming, is its way. that is very alarming, is it not, for a major prison. the chief inspector said it is not out of control yet but almost out—of—control. the question is is birmingham just out—of—control. the question is is birminghamjustafar out—of—control. the question is is birmingham just a far worse in all the other prisons in this country or is in many ways typical of the other p

the problems of birmingham ina address the problems of birmingham in a different way.in a different way. but he has staked his political career on addressing these problems. and you very much. a man has appeared in court charged with the attempted murder of police and members of the public outside parliament six days ago. salih khater, who's 29 and from birmingham, is accused of driving a car at pedestrians, cyclists and police officers, before crashing into a security barrier. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, reports. it was last tuesday, at 7:37am, when a ford fiesta ploughed through a group of cyclists on the edge of parliament square before driving up the access road to the house of lords car park and smashing into the security barrier. counter—terrorism detectives led the investigation. this morning, the suspected driver of the car was brought to court to face two charges of attempted murder. in the dock, 29—year—old salih khater wore a grey t—shirt and white trousers. he confirmed his name and address. asked what nationality he was, he said sudane

gas won the contract to run birmingham seven years ago sparking staff protests.pany will not get the present back for at least six months until it is more safe and stable. gas said they welcomed the opportunity to address what it said were the exceptional challenges. many other prisons in the public sector face similar problems of violence and drug—taking but none on this scale. and danny is here now. is this about private sector failings are the issues more complex? gas must take some responsibility, they have been running the prison since 2011 and its deteriorated significantly since the riot in 2016. but at the same time the minister ofjustice closely monitors the contract, they have officials sitting in the prison every day monitoring the contract. questions have to be asked about the ministry ofjustice as well as gas. more broadly gas runs very good prisons, one awkward we featured last week. it's notjust about gas, it's not just about last week. it's notjust about gas, it's notjust about private company, bad public sector good, it's also terrible prisons in

our midlands correspondent, sima kotecha, sent this report from birmingham.s one of the country's largestjails but, today, hmp birmingham has been branded as the most violent prison in england and wales. parts of the prison are squalid, it's cockroach infested, it's rat infested. it's disgusting. a former inmate, who was released injune, said it was perilous. we've protected his identity because he's concerned about his safety. i've seen people thrown over the balconies onto the netting. i've seen people just beaten up in front of staff, just whacked. erm... organised fights. that happens a lot, organised fights, where one guy's got a beef with another guy, and they will organise a fight in the laundry room, in the shower room, on the landing, and the staff turn a blind eye. the chief inspector of prisons says somebody must have been asleep at the wheel for it to get this bad. in a report, he says blatant drug use was not being tackled. staff were often anxious and fearful. and parts of the jail were filthy, with vermin, blood and vomit on the floor. the prev

then ryanair took him to birmingham. so he had to get a two—and—half—hour taxi to get home. of that rate has checks, especially a large corporation like ryanair, these things should not happen. so i was quite embarrassed and quite annoyed, really. rya nair has apologised. it said an administrative error meant 190 unsigned cheques were sent out last month. a tiny number, it said, because in the same month it gave out a total of 20,000 compensation cheques. ryanair is now one of the world's biggest airlines. it flew 130 million passengers last year. when you have a giant airline like ryanairfailing in the most basic duty of signing cheques before they go out, it adds to the sense that this is an airline in considerable disarray. having said that, of course, 400,000 people will fly safely and mostly on time with ryanair today. but they really need to get their management sorted out. ryanair says it has now sent out new signed cheques to affected customers. people we've spoken to say that the whole affair has cost them time and money. tom burridge, bbc news. more than 400,000 si
