the new centre at queen elizabeth hospital in birmingham is develoing new techniques to treat injuries such as burns, with the goal of achieving scar free healing within a generation. our defence correspondent jonathan beale reports. hundreds of british service personnel suffered life changing injuries while fighting in afghanistan and iraq. and many are still living with the visible scars from battle. josh lost both his legs and his right arm when he stepped on and his right arm when he stepped on a roadside bomb in 2010. here i have some scarring down the bottom. he still suffers from heavy scarring, susceptible to tearing. he now has hope that these wounds can be healed with the help of new pioneering techniques at queen elizabeth hospital in birmingham. the issue with the scarring is where it breaks down and the skin is notjoined together, it is not used to bearing weights. anything that will help myself or other injured guys or anyone in society that has a lot of scarring, anything will help. at the scarring, anything will help. at the scar free foundation centre, four conflict wo

the problem isn't isolated to birmingham. all areas of the uk are seeing an increase in fly—tipping. analysis of government data suggests it has increased by 44% in the past five years, and in 2017 it cost taxpayers £69 million to clear it up. residents here in birmingham say the problem is made worse because there aren't enough bin collections. but the council say that's nonsense. this is down to laziness. i find it frustrating that people think it's ok to do this, you know, because it isn't. no matter who we are or what issues or frustrations we face, it is not acceptable to go and take your rubbish and throw it on somebody else's back door. birmingham council has a specialist team investigating these types of crimes. we've found some evidence that shows a residential address, so we'll be going along this afternoon to knock on the door to find out why the resident's address is in this rubbish. later this year, local councils in england will get powers to fine households up to £400 if they pay someone to take their rubbi

for a while birmingham looked to be heading for their first win at villa park in 14 years. but villa equalised and then what a moment this was for boyhood fanjack grealish to put them 2—1 up. tammy abraham scored a villa penalty before blues got another goal back, but then this stunning solo goal from full—back alan hutton sealed a win for dean smith's side. new republic of ireland manager mick mccarthy insists he's happy enough that he'll be replaced after the euro 2020 campaign. just a warning there's some flash photography coming up. he was officially unveiled in dublin this afternoon, returning to the role 16 years after his first spell in charge. the fai have said dundalk boss stephen kenny will take over after the euros. the copa libertadores final between buenos aires rivals boca juniors and river plate has been postponed again. violence before yesterday's second leg saw the match put back 2a hours. some boca players were injured as their bus was attacked by river plate fans on the way to the stadium in buenos aires and organisers say it wouldn't be fair to stage

tonight, we are in birmingham, where there has been a rise of terrifying type of car crime. in one case of carjacking, the thieves did not even care that there was a baby on the back—seat. eliza o'neill was not harmed but in her first interview, her mother claire tells us something must be done. cars are more secure than ever before but there remains one simple way for thieves to get in — with your keys. and it seems they will do almost anything to get them. in a series of violent carjackings across the west midlands, drivers have been attacked with knives, iron bars and baseball bats. so, why are criminals going to such extreme lengths and could a simple change in the law help solve the problem? to find out, we will hear from the victim of one of the most frightening attacks. i remember being run over and then i realised they had taken my baby and the car. and ijoin the police as they try to tackle the problem. can raids like this really prevent carjackings? yes, definitely. these cctv images showjust how determined car thieves in the west midlands have become. in this

interesting about the united arab emirates is prior to the matthew hedges issues blowing up for example birmingham university in the u.k. was opening a campus now those people in bombing i'm going to walk out in protest against the creation of a birmingham campus because of the bathroom hedges although prior to that they were also concerned that the rights of l.g.b. to students wouldn't be guaranteed because of the the nationals in that country so there have been these tensions before between western universities in the united arab emirates and there have been other issues where free speech has or the lack of free speech has been criticized on these campuses so it is a delicate issue for you know new york university for example and when you and obviously birmingham about how they. negotiate their relationship with countries that obviously don't adhere to the same standards of academic freedom. right at the you do you share the optimism of want that hedges will be released in the signs pointing towards that. it's seems in my experience that when there is so much international press pressure there i

a councilman for the area in birmingham where the train had stopped turned up at the next birmingham city council meeting to raise the alarm about railroad cars in his area of the city, quote, that may be carrying feces from other states. quote, when they get stopped on the train tracks in your area, the stench is almost unbearable. in the local press and local social media, the reaction was even stronger. some local businesses reportedly started getting calls that there must be a dead body nearby somewhere. because nothing else could possibly explain a smell that awful. eventually alabama's poop train troubles made national news all over the country this past spring, and a lot of that coverage came from the explicit or implicit angle that somehow new jersey and new york had done something wrong here, right? new jersey and new york had foisted this train full of yankee poop on alabama without alabama having any say in the matter or having any idea that it was coming. the problem for that angle in the national coverage of this strange story from earlier this year, the problem for that

bring in scott lucas professor of international politics and american studies at the university of birmingham scott what is likely to happen to the mall or investigation now. well it depends on who wins the battle of what donald trump confirmed yesterday although we've learnt specht of this is that he and his inner circle are not going to stop until they can significantly limit and probably shut down the investigation we had expected that just sessions would be removed after the election what surprised me and a lot of others is how quickly donald trump moved yesterday he clearly was rattled that on tuesday the democrats took the lower house of congress in the u.s. midterm elections he knows that those democrats can support them or investigation and so he's acted this quickly by putting the enemy man as you would occur who has already said that the investigation should be significantly restricted i expect that the immediate stuff will be that matthew will occur as acting attorney general will veto any subpoena by robert mueller to question donald trump and then supported by allies in the proce

the black belt simply came through and while selma had more reeling birmingham delivered the knockout blow picking up 8213 more votes than more while republican turnover was significantly less. there were simply not - - not enough white evangelical votes left there would be no recovery there would be no we counted as a result there would be no senator in front of roy moore's name. as it became evident that he raised the specter of voter fraud and pointed to overwhelmingly black birmingham the same way they pointed to st. louis and tromped to philadelphia as the culprit.il moore insisted the black voter turnout rate was simply too high and the republican vote was mysteriously too low. for him they could only mean one thing. voter fraud. the charge of course, was as hollow as the man and all of those before him who gave voice to that pernicious lie because in alabama, as in the uniteds states, african-americans no somebody paid big price to come and vote people had hoses turned on them people had dogs turned on them and unfortunately and in the 21st century, people had to overcome every

world view live this hour from birmingham. pleasure to have you on the show with us, scott. what happened on the border will say very different things to a divided nation. some will see desperate migrants fleeing persecution, mothers trying to shuttle their toddlers from teargas. others will see as the president describes it, as example of invasion, people who are not following the rules to enter the u.s. how significant is imagery like this in a bitter debate like the one that is playing out here? >> well, first, let's start with the facts. as you have been trying to do, and that is 500 people, thousands who have gathered in tijuana, moved towards the border. they didn't necessarily storm or rush the border. they weren't invading. they marched. now, they chose to go around mexican police and continue to the border, and they tried to cross into the border. where, in fact, if they make it across, they have a legal right to claim asylum as of this point. now, what is now being projected, of course, as you put it, on two different sides. those who tend to sympathize with the pl
