And on the critical list, endangered crafts, which only a couple of people still know how to do. Its been an important part of the local economy for400 years, and id like someone to carry on. How are we doing. Welcome to another episode of inside out, West Midlands. Lets get things started, because for a lot of children across the country, it is currently half term, but lets face it, you cant be sure exactly what they are up to. Over the last few years, the number of children and young people caught trespassing on railways has almost doubled. Jonathan gibson has been finding out whats been done to keep them off the tracks. When you were a kid, did you have a train set . Idid. It wasnt as good as this, mind. And they are just as popular with kids today. And a fair few kids at heart. What is it about model railways . Perhaps a bit of escapism. But for some kids, playing with trains means dicing with death. These girls are playing chicken on the tracks. One slip or trip and they will be under this. And look where you are going instead of checking your phone . We get them all on route, and ill speak to network control. The British Transport Police deals with around 250 trespasses per week. It has a message for all of them. You are committing a criminal act. Youre putting yourself in unnecessary danger, and ultimately, that it could kill you. Just like sweet, for the community of bootle in merseyside, it was left devastated by the death of a 12 year old boy, who died after being electrocuted on the railway. But sadly, kids taking risks is nothing new. These children are taking a short cut on the way home from school. Even more kids trespassing the holidays. Alex and edwin work for British Transport Police, and do extra patrols around the West Midlands when the kids are at school. What we are actually looking at today is to make sure that there are no Access Points onto the railway, by looking at the fences. The vegetation doesnt look like its been disturbed at all, so in this instance, there has been no access attempt. The line at the top of this embankment, is one of the busiest in britain. This adds to the risk. Thats 25,000 volts in there. That is not something you want to be messing about with, at all. No. It certainly was for tom. He was 16 and almost died trespassing on the railways when electricity from the overhead lines ripped through his body. I suffered 57 burns, all third degree, so all nerve endings, all the sweat glands, everything like that was just destroyed. Hell be scarred for the rest of his life. You would hope that what happened to tom would serve as a warning to others, but in the fives years since he suffered that catastrophic catastrophic electric shock, the number of children and young people caught trespassing on the railways has actually gone up, every year. The most recent figures published showed there were 202 rail trespassing incidents involving children and young people across the West Midlands. Almost double the number in 2014. With lives at risk, minutes matter. Im back with alex and edwin when an emergency call comes in. There is a footpath over that way. One of the train drivers saw a couple of 16 or 17 year olds dangling their feet off the edge. 0ne wrong move, they could just fall off. As well as being plain dangerous, anyone caught trespassing on the railway can cause massive disruption across the rail network. There is a train coming at the moment, so dont cross. Thats why British Transport Police sergeant, matt payne, is based in the West Midlands signalling centre. He works with Railway Staff to provide up to date information to colleagues on the ground. Finding trespassers can be a cat and mouse game. By the time we reach the bridge, whoever was here has scarpered. The train drivers approach and the first thing he is going to see is the feet dangling. The driver cant know what is going to happen, so somebody mightjump, or might not. They could be just sat there, observing the scenery. We cant take that risk though. But when you work in britains railways, it is an ever present danger. Perhaps best experienced from one particular seat. Eddie fanton drives Virgin Trains between london and the West Midlands. So, eddie, how much of a problem are trespasses on the track . At least a couple of times a month, youll see something. People taking short cuts such because the track, people walking on the track. Ive had ramblers with a guidebook, you know, obviously thought it was some sort of walking route, and it wasnt. And i guess, we are on a fairly straight stretch here, but presumably if you spot someone, it is going to take you a lot longer to stop than it is to get to them. 0bviously, people dont do it on a straight distract either. They might do it on a bend. You might see them at the last minute, and to stop one of these at full speed, its about a mile. This means, if you are on the track, the odds are stacked against you. In my career i have had a fatality. It was pretty horrific. I had two children running out other tunnel towards me. Literally in front of your train . Right in front of me, yes. At the time, they were probably my daughters age. Eight or nine. But they were just, so matter of fact. It wasjust like, you know, walk towards me, and then just, as soon as i approach them, stand at the side of the track as if it was no big deal really. Just a laugh, or a dare if you like. When trespasses on the track there are so many dangers. When trespasses on the track there are so many dangers. This child and believe the lee leapt in front of it, but stopped to tell him off not to let him on it. If you are drunk dont pass out here. If you are aware of the dangers of them, you would stay well away. The Rail Industry is determined to cut trespass numbers. Toms story is now pa rt trespass numbers. Toms story is now part of a hard hitting campaign, highlighting the dangers of trespassing on the railways. That involves going into all of our schools, and other areas, local sporting clubs where young people go. We are targeting everyone from Primary School age, with our thomas the tank engine campaign, right the way up to you versus train, which is for young people. It is people who have had life changing injuries. Tums family know this all too well. It is not like breaking a leg or an arm. This is for life. He will never re cover arm. This is for life. He will never recover it from it. That is backed up recover it from it. That is backed up by recover it from it. That is backed up by those who have to deal with it. And if you still want to play on the tracks, just make sure it is not on the real thing. What those kids are doing is really dangerous. Next tonight, and really sad story, because in 2017 a Junior Doctor Lauren Phillips disappeared off the coast of devon. Her body was never found. Her mother has been campaigning for more support for Junior Doctors and has been talking to us. I usually walk along the sea and cry and be sad for a period of time, and one saved and that for long i feel such a feeling of peace here. It is a beautiful place. Woolacombe bay in devon, the last placeJunior Doctor woolacombe bay in devon, the last place Junior Doctor Lauren Phillips was ever seen. Lauren was a place Junior Doctor Lauren Phillips was ever seen. Lauren was a talented musician, and her car was found attached abandoned on the coast. Her body has never been found. Attached abandoned on the coast. Her body has never been foundlj attached abandoned on the coast. Her body has never been found. I think she felt it was a privilege to be a doctor. She really wanted to do a job that could make a difference, and that she could help people. For former nhs manager andrea graham, the pain of losing her daughter is ever present. Nowhere more so than here, where she was last seen. And year is not alone in her grief. 0ne doctor in every three weeks takes their own life in this country. In 2016, the year before Lauren Phillips disappeared, Junior Doctors went on strike in protest at government changes to their working hours and pay. Laurenjoined the picket lines and posted about her fears for the nhs. She felt that the new contract was unfair and wrong and infile new contract was unfair and wrong and in file and new contract was unfair and wrong and infile and ill new contract was unfair and wrong and in file and ill founded and was going to affect patient care badly. I wasnt surprised to see it. I was proud of herfor being badly. I wasnt surprised to see it. I was proud of her for being willing to stand up and being counted for Junior Doctors. I know that lauren worked, sometimes when she was supposed to be working she struggled to sometimes know when to eat, especially on a night shift. Having somewhere to rest is quite difficult. As the strike continued, the disappearance of a Junior Doctor from cambridgeshire was also making national headlines. 25 year old rose polge walked into the sea off dorset. The inquest was told shed been afraid of working the weekend after five days of an 11 day stretch. Her family called for action to halt the crisis affecting Junior Doctors. Hi, everyone. In london, specialists at the Nhs Practitioner Health programme meet to discuss their case load. Again the guilt, the ruminations, the fear. For the last 11 years, this Confidential Service has helped thousands of doctors struggling with Mental Health issues and the pressure of theirjob. Its medical director is a government adviser. Every year we compare it with the last year, weve had 100 more patients. So this year weve had a double of what we had last year. Were completely confidential, nhs funded service. This Doctor Support Service is now available across england, theres so much demand. We have forgotten that we need to provide these doctors with the space and the time and the opportunity to talk about the emotional impact of their work. Were doing something to these wonderful young people, and i think what were doing to them is not showing them kindness and compassion. And were treating them as if they dont matter. Inside out contacted medical schools in england to find out what support they offer their students. All who replied said the well being of their trainees was paramount. In april this year, the british medical association, which represents medical students and doctors across the country, published its own survey on pressures in the profession. One in four of the doctors and medical students who responded admitted to having Mental Health issues. Those that are the mostjunior in the nhs, were the most likely to experience burn out, for example, because we work the longest hours, so were there the longest. We experience and endure the most. Pressures are being put on us in the nhs. Lauren was in her third year as a Junior Doctor. Her mum knew that she was worried about starting a new rotation in Bristol Southmead a e. She did seek support and was advised to sign up with the gp. Its very difficult as a Junior Doctor, you move from onejob in cornwall lauren was in cornwall at the time to anotherjob in bristol and the changeovers very quick. Lauren went missing in february 2017. A month later, 32 year old rebecca 0venden from grantham in lincolnshire was found dead in plymouth. Dr 0venden had written a Facebook Post about the pressure of working in a e. It went viral and was shared 38,000 times. The coroner recorded that rebecca had a history of Mental Health issues and had attempted to take her life before. Then in october, junior dr Sophie Spooner took her own life, two months after a complaint was made against her. A complaint which was dismissed. Her family told us she tried but failed to get support and was afraid her colleagues in west sussex would find out about her depression. She was 26. At the launch of a report into the mental well being of nhs staff february, the Health Secretary chose to highlight what had happened to lauren. In a speech, matt hancock apologised and said the nhs didnt do enough to help. It was just heartbreaking, really, for me to realise lauren has become a case history for things ever wrong the nhs. Andrea has come to london to meet the secretary of state for health. Injune, changes to the 2016 junior medical contracts, including rest facilities and rostering, were finally agreed. How serious are you taking the suicide of doctors like my daughter lauren . I take the Mental Health of doctors incredibly seriously. The story of lauren really motivated me to do something about this. Do you accept that understaffing has put more pressure onJunior Doctors . Yes, and i see it in hospitals. Were hiring more doctors, partly because of the pressures on them and i want to make sure that everybody who goes in to work as a doctor gets the support they need. Also, people when they sign up to be a medical in the first place, theyre signing up to work and give their working life to the care of others, and we need to care for them. I dont have anywhere to go to grieve for lauren, i cannot make a set beside a grave. But this house to be a beautiful place to be to think about lauren. Sometimes when im here, i am looking at the beach and watching people surf, and someone beautiful comes out of the sea, and i think, is that lauren . And it is hard. Finally tonight, weve heard of animals and wildlife being put on an endangered list, well, now the same is happening for craft skills, which are disappearing at an alarming rate, as rebecca woods been finding out. These days, weve never been busier, and we have all the tools we need to stay connected. Sometimes, too connected. And thats great i think but sometimes a simpler life can seem very, very appealing. And that simpler lifes the attraction for many stallholders round the corner at this heritage fair in newcastle under lyme, opting out of High Pressure jobs to opt into making a living with their hands. Theres a lot of interest, and Julie Crenshaw of the Heritage Craft Association thinks she knows why. Making things for a living is a very creative and satisfying thing to do. Its good for your well being, its a great way to live. Weve moved far too far away from that. But while some crafts are thriving, shes worried about those were losing. Thats why shes created the first register of endangered crafts. Lots of people might not be aware that some crafts could be endangered, how does one get onto that list . We have the list of endangered crafts, which is our Standard Assessment of where a craft sits in the viability stakes, if you like. There are a lot of crafts on our critically endangered list which have only one practitioner left in the entire country, and many of them are quite elderly. We need to make sure that those people can pass on their skills before they stop practising. More than 100 crafts are on that endangered list, from making Musical Instruments to turning out traditional clay pipes, once smoked in their millions. But giving up a regular income to make a living working with your hands is a huge decision. Mike taylor made that choice, even buying a wood to grow the timber he needs to turn into things he can sell. Its been a really life changing experience for us. We spend a lot of time in the woodland. Its been really pleasurable. You had a very different lifestyle before . Yes, i worked in the Steel Industry for 30 years in the black country. A relatively elevated position, company car and everything, but became very disenchanted with that side of life, so decided six years ago to make a change. And this is the change i decided to make. This is the best thing ive decided to do, and i would encourage anybody to follow and do what ive done. To get usable timber can involve a lot of work. Mike showed me some coppicing, chopping trees close to the ground into whats called a stool to encourage new growth. Theres history behind every tree in the woodland, really. Some look quite spindly and small, but actually it is still significantly old and has its own heritage and life story. You are continuing to work this woodland in the way it has been for hundreds of years . Yes we are, it has been worked this way for hundreds of years. We hope to continue this way for many years to come. Sustainability is important to mike, and so is supporting other traditional crafts, like horse logging, using horse power to get timber out of the forest. Im beginning to understand why horse power is so important here. If a tractor came through, it would tear up the ground. When these guys work the ground, there is very little damage itll be back to normal in no time. Its hard work, but Barbara Haddrill is certain its worth it. This is molly, shes six years old, so shes learning the ropes. The other horse is 18, shes experienced. They are just the right type laid back, really hard working, ideal for the job. By using barbara, it allows her business to carry on going, so she keeps the horse is going, which supports saddle makers, the local farrier, the local blacksmith, to enable the continuation of heritage crafts and environmentally sustainable crafts and ways of working to continue. So, back to that list of endangered crafts, and right at the top is clay pipe making. And the West Midlands is where most clay pipes were made. Archive weve brought you to shropshire, where vera is moulding clay pipes. Believe it or not, these pipes were made here four years before raleigh brought home the weed. What elizabethans smoked is beyond belief. Today, just one person here is making pipes the traditional way. Im told this is where i can find the man who made this, and knows more about clay pipes and anyone else in the world. Yes, i moved to this village, broseley, just over 30 years ago. Started to dig my garden as a newlywed, i found some broken bits of pipe, and some had patterns and designs on them, and i realise that broseley had a history of clay pipe making, dating back nearly 400 years. 1630 was the earliest recorded pipe maker in the village. They were making them here up until 1957. Now ive been able to carry on this tradition. And clay pipes have become a huge part of his life. How many clay pipes do you have . At the last count, about 111,000 clay pipes, originalantiques, that dont include the ones that i make. At one point in the 19th century, more than 6 million pipes were being made every year in this small shropshire town. When the pipe works were operating in the village, it was nearly all women, working from about the age of 12, and each lady was expected to make between 700 and 800 pipes a day. How would you feel if this craft died out . Very sad. Its been an important part of the local economy for 400 years, and i would like someone to carry on. But despite years of searching, rex hasnt found anyone to follow in his footsteps. Another craft in danger of disappearing. And thats whyJulie Crenshaw thinks this part of our heritage needs urgent protection. The government has not signed the Unesco Convention for intensive cultural heritage, which is a really key part of policy thats been taken out across the world, but not in our country. And it is a key mechanism to protect our crafts. Over at mikes stall, hes giving demonstrations. But to make even a fraction of his old salary, he needs every sale he can get. Wood, selling wood going once how much is this . That ones £8. So, how did you find that, did you to enjoy it . It was actually fun i would never get bored of it, id love to use the different tools, id love to do it. Do you think you are going to be a Wood Whittler . Maybe wood by name, but wood by nature . Hmm, lets see. Is mike still positive about his lifestyle choice . Whether im working on the woodland or at events making and demonstrating, its lovely, its a lovely thing to do. When you enjoy something as much as i enjoye doing what i do, ive never once wanted to go back to my previous life. What we want is people to learn the skill from the practitioner, so they really understand the practices, and can then adapt the final product to suit modern requirements, perhaps. But that knowledge, that Critical Knowledge thats part of our heritage is then transferred to the next generation and wont be lost at that point. Im not selling this one, its coming home with me. You know what, i never touched a clay pipe in my life before. Ill have to knock on rexs door thats it for tonight. It has been thoroughly wet across england and wales and Northern Ireland. Our picture shows where the heaviest of the rain has been in wales and into northern england. Some wider echoes on the radar further north. North wales and into the pennines in parts of scotland with the showers. Look at these ra i nfa lls. With the showers. Look at these rainfalls. 120 millimetres and leaveners. In the south, we have seen leaveners. In the south, we have seen plenty of torrential rain with around three inches of rain there. No surprise there are several flood warnings in force. This front bringing all the rain, slowly slipping its way south was these now, clearing its way from wales and parts of england as well. Perhaps brightening up towards the end of the day. Behind, in Northern Ireland it looks like a bright afternoon with some sunshine, blustery. As the rain arrives there, the rain begins to ease down. In the south east it has been mild. 15 or 16 degrees, and that will be the case this afternoon. Further north it is much colder. The rain and went close away from the south towards this evening. You can see the blue colour edging all the way southwards behind this where the front. It is going to be a very chilly end to the night. Temperatures in low Single Digits for many. It wont be quite as cold northern scotland, which will be busy and have continuation of some showers. An extra hour in bed on sunday morning. What a difference a day makes. Clear sky, and it is going to be cold and dry and sunny over much of the country. Still blustery across northern scotland. Thats quite a few degrees cooler than the last few days. 0ver thats quite a few degrees cooler than the last few days. Over the next week, we held onto their High Pressures , next week, we held onto their High Pressures, s0 next week, we held onto their High Pressures, so it says largely dry. It will be on the cold side at night. A touch of thrust in places, and some mist and fog as well. This is bbc news, the headlines at two oclock. England reach the final of the rugby world cup, with a stunning win against the all blacks in yokohama. Cheering. Celebrations across the country and injapan as they record their first victory over new zealand in the tournaments history. That was incredible.
