A man is in hospital with serious injuries after being stabbed outside a restaurant in Coventry.

Officers believe an argument took place between a group of men inside the Walsgrave Road restaurant, which then carried on outside at about 20:00 on Sunday.

The 31-year-old was stabbed multiple times in the chest and leg, before the offenders fled the scene.

West Midlands Police is asking for any witnesses to come forward.

Doctors working in at least 15 surgeries in the centre of Birmingham have told the BBC they are set to lose up to a third of their income.

The GP practices, which treat some of the poorest people in the region, have contracts which give them extra money.

They say if they lose that money, they will have to cut services, such as diabetes checks, and may have to close.

Birmingham and Solihull Clinical Commissioning Group says the cuts follow national guidelines and there are plans to take on the services which the surgeries currently provide.

A midwife accused of misconduct says some aspects of her care were "completely unacceptable" when looking after a patient in Telford four years ago.

Laura Jones is one of three staff being questioned by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

She, Hayley Lacey and Kerry Davies looked after a child known as Baby K, who died four days after being born at the Princess Royal Hospital.

None of the three midwives are accused of causing the death of the baby, but the standard of care they provided is being looked into.

The NMC says Ms Jones should have alerted a doctor when her patient's blood pressure was high.

It also believes her and Ms Lacey should have communicated better.

Ms Jones admitted that "a poor handover meant that observations were missed" while Ms Davies says she should have carried out a check on the baby's heart rate but denies this was misconduct.

The hearing continues.

The anti-stalking team brings together police, psychologists, probation staff, social workers and victim advocates to decide on the best steps to take to minimise the risk of stalking incidents.

The force says, of the 260 referrals since it launched, 83 were taken on for more risk management which included directly contacting the victim and/or the offender., external

The company sold 118,108 cars in the UK from April 2018 to March 2019 and increased its competitive segment share from 29.47% to 33.32%.

For Jaguar the E-PACE was the biggest seller, with 11,142 units in its first full year of sales, while the Discovery Sport topped Land Rover sales, with 19,569 units.

But it's not been all good news, with weak sales in China largely blamed for a drop in worldwide sales.

The company has today shut its UK plants for five days over Brexit in a move planned some months ago. A further Easter shutdown is also scheduled for next week.

BMW’s UK Mini and Rolls-Royce plants are also shut this week, as is Peugeot’s Vauxhall factory.
