Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: | :00:05. | :00:08. | |
Shocking claims of physical abuse at a hospital for people with | :00:08. | :00:17. | |
learning disabilities. We need is see in Inspectorate so that this | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
does not happen The district where anti-social | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
behaviour fell by a third after a pilot scheme that could be copied | :00:24. | :00:33. | |

Football Club. Good evening and welcome to | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Midlands Today. Tonight, shocking cases of physical abuse are | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
revealed at a residential hospital dedicated to caring for people with | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
learning difficulties. The father of one patient told how his grown | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
up son was dragged across a carpet causing burns to his back. The | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
health regulator also announced serious concerns about Arden Vale | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
near Solihull. It is run by Castlebeck, the firm at the centre | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
of an abuse scandal in Bristol revealed by an undercover team from | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
:01:33. | :01:33. | ||
the BBC Panorama programme. More from our health correspondent. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Arden Vale Hospital in Meriden looks after adults with challenging | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
behaviour but places are -- faces a police investigation. We know that | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
eight members of staff and were suspended. This father's had a son | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
there. I knew something was wrong with him. Bass said -- he said, | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
they keep dragging me around the run up, Dad. I had never seen | :02:00. | :02:09. | |
anything like it. It was these so it -- scenes in another home in | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
Bristol that caused outrage after a BBC Panorama programme. While the | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
failings at Arden Vale Hospital are not a serious, the company could be | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
punished. We are taking enforcement actions. We cannot go into that for | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
legal reasons. We are taking the findings seriously. The Quality | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
Care Commission found that people were not protected from physical or | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
emotional harm and that the management of medicine's was unsafe. | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
It is a question of what sort of society we want to see. The care of | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
the vulnerable, there is nothing more important. We must funded | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
properly and give the training and insure inspections take place. | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
Before the programme was broadcast, a whistle blow at Arden Vale | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
Hospital told the police of serious abuse. We would hope the police | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
would let us know about these things. We hope to strengthen our | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
relationship so that in the future they would share them. Did they? | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
Not on this occasion. Castlebeck says it will bring in a new | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
whistle-blowing policy and promises a root-and-branch review of | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
services. You have spoken to a number of | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
staff who have worked at the hospital. Some appalling cases of | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
abuse came to light. A I have to stress they are | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
accusations made to the police. Things like patience being rugby- | :03:39. | :03:47. | |
tackled, and one person had his fingers and pulled back to drag him | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
into the centre of the room and people being appalled by their hair. | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
And problems with the staff going absent at night or going to sleep | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
on the job. How could it go on for so long? I understand that there | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
were a group of people who could get away with things that the rest | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
of the staff could not. The issue was that when they complained about | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
those individuals, those things seem to come back on those who made | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
the complaints. We are talking about a climate of fear, do you | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
think? Absolutely. In many cases these people needed their jobs. | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
They just got on with it. But, people did make complaints. | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
Unfortunately, the complaint was not shared in the wider community. | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
Later, an historic night in the Potteries. | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
I am at Britannia Stadium where big crowd is expected for the first | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
time Stoke City plays European football in over 30 years. | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
Anti-social behaviour in part of Birmingham has fallen by one-third. | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
It came about after the introduction of a scheme involving | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
dedicating police teams called ASB Patrols. The experiment is being | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
monitored by Cambridge University and could be copied by forces | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
around the world. A group of 12-year olds to 16 year | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
olds in Billesley South Birmingham. They like to see themselves as a | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
gang. They are drunk. No doubt they would frighten some people. They | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
spell out there going to name in beer bottles. Issues like this are | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
being tackled by the ASB Patrols. Because you have been drinking we | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
will take your details. They covered the South Birmingham area. | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
The map shows the red anti-social behaviour hot spot areas. The | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
circles denote where police officers are. If the team needs to | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
see a real time view of what is going on, there are CCTV pictures. | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
The teams go out in three cars, responding to calls about anti- | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
social behaviour. It has been judged a success. Incidents are | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
down by 30%. You have not been in trouble? The idea is to act quickly. | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
Alcohol fuels much of the problems they are responding to. Youth's and | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
alcohol, it is a mixture of danger and trouble for communities. It is | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
something we need to address. get a call from Amanda who is | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
distressed. The police have been here many times. She has a long- | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
running dispute with her neighbour. Today, she is packing up and moving | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
home. Her family are leaving Birmingham. This is packing I | :06:50. | :06:59. | |
should not have to be doing, and I would not, it is something we have | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
to do, the quality of life. neighbour did not want to go on | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
camera. She said she was looking forward to her new life without her | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
neighbours. She said she was very happy with West Midlands Police. | :07:13. | :07:23. | |
:07:23. | :07:26. | ||
There is often no quick fix to anti-social behaviour. | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
We are joined by the Chief Constable of West Midlands Police. | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
It seems that the ease teams are working. Why are they not in all | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
areas? I am proud of what they are doing. It is work that is being | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
rolled out across the West Midlands. It has shown its worth in terms of | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
reducing anti-social behaviour. They are part of a bigger set of | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
changes we are making. It will be happening very soon. Earlier in the | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
week, we saw police officers being taken out of secondary schools. | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
Everybody thought that was a detrimental thing. Why are you | :08:10. | :08:18. | |
doing that? I want to talk about cuts. There is a sense of | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
frustration with my colleagues and I suspect every public servant in | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
the West Midlands that every single story about policing is being seen | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
it through the lens of the cuts. We have got to lose 2500 staff. It is | :08:33. | :08:42. | |
a lot of people. Half of them have already gone. You are seeing the | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
initiative you featured in South Birmingham. You are seeing crime | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
falling sharply. How long can it go on for? The cuts are not complete. | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
We have a lot of work to do. We have to make a lot of changes to | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
accommodate the cuts. We are open for business. We are doing the | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
quality work you have seen. We will continue to cope with cuts. We have | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
seen that, granted. We are hearing about senior officers, very | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
experienced officers, being forced to retire. That is part of our need | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
to reduce the number of people in West Midlands Police. At the same | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
time, we are transforming the organisation and introducing new | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
technology and new approaches. We are able to continue to improve the | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
service. This is not a field day for criminals. Crime is falling and | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
service is improving, despite the cuts. | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
Have you been affected by anti- social behaviour? If so, we would | :09:48. | :09:58. | |

One of the most bizarre cases to come before a British judge was | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
thrown out of court today. It involved the body of a teenager, a | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
mother's last wishes and a Polish Catholic priest. The boy had been | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
treated by some almost as a saint after his death in the Second World | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
War. A priest was accused of illegally exhuming his body. | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
Father Wojciech Jasinski walks free. The case against him dropped. His | :10:27. | :10:34. | |
response was succinct. I feel relieved. Witold Orlowski is the | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
14-year-old whose net -- remains he was accused of removing at St | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
Raphael's Convent in Bullingham, Herefordshire. He said -- it was | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
said he took them to be with his mother. Hemmed in by Nazis and | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
Soviets in Poland, the boy and mother fled. The mother did not | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
know when they would see each other again but they got safely to Mexico. | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
The boy prayed for his life to be taken rather than a sick priest | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
called Jozef Jarzebowski. The boy died and was hailed a hero. The | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
priest moved to Herefordshire. The mother came here to work after the | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
war. She brought the remains with her. Years later she moved to | :11:18. | :11:25. | |
Henley on Thames. Father Wojciech Jasinski said he was asked by | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
another priest are to remove the remains. It was to fulfil the | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
wishes of the mother. Do you think you did the right thing? Morally, | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
in my heart, yes. It was one of the most unusual cases to come before | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
the courts. There was legal argument about whether it was in | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
the public interest to prosecute the father. In the end, they | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
decided there was insufficient evidence to convict him. He left | :11:53. | :12:03. | |
:12:03. | :12:03. | ||
the court freed to return to Rome, Five people have been found guilty | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
of murdering a woman whose body was found on a disused railway a year | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
ago. Gemma Hayter was found last August. This CCTV footage shows her | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
in the town centre with the people who killed her. The three men and | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
two women will be sentenced at a later date. | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
The sight of Birmingham's enterprise zone has been unveiled | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
by George Osborne. He was in the City today to look at the plans for | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
the zone which is hoped will create 4000 jobs by 2015 and many more | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
over the next few decades. It will benefit from relaxed planning laws | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
and lower taxes. Other cities including Stoke-on-Trent and | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
Coventry are waiting to hear if they will get one. The Enterprise | :12:47. | :12:55. | |
Zone will be based in the city centre. It is going to allow the | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
local council to attract businesses where central government money and | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
that is going to mean that the jobs here in the centre of Birmingham | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
and jobs for people who live across Birmingham who come to the centre | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
to work. The Hay-on-Wye literary festival | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
pulls in a record number of visitors this year. 225,000 people | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
went to more than 700 events at the Festival on the Hereford to-Wales | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
border. Next year will be the 25th anniversary. | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
Still to come, goodbye to the old soldier who made his Tam planus for | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
his Armistice Day parades. And it has been another find it day | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
but tonight brings a few splashes of rain. What does that mean for | :13:39. | :13:49. | |
:13:49. | :13:53. | ||
the weekend? I will be a with the Their commander of British | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
helicopter forces in Britain -- in Afghanistan has paid tribute to the | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
base in Shropshire where all military helicopter pilots are | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
trained. It comes as a senior officer from the base heads to | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
Afghanistan to oversee helicopter operations there. We have been | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
behind-the-scenes at RAF Shawbury. At the controls of a flight | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
simulator at RAF Shawbury. The viewers over the skies of | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
Shropshire but Group Captain Jock Brown will soon be taking control | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
of flights in Afghanistan. He will be heading here to Helmand province, | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
where he will oversee or helicopter flights at in and out of military | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
bases. It is a large air base that is there. We are there to support | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
the ground element and everything we do is in support of the ground | :14:42. | :14:50. | |
forces. Our effort and and a hold reason for being in the helicopters | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
is to insure that the ground movement can move forward. | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
Just returned from Afghanistan is Captain Paul Shawcross. He will be | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
taking charge at Shawbury. Conditions here are different from | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
Afghanistan. The challenge in Afghanistan is perhaps peculiar to | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
Afghanistan and that is the dust and the temperature and the | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
altitude, they are demanding from man and machine. Shawbury is the | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
base where pilots from all three forces are trained to deal with | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
those challenges. This is Britain's busy as military airfield. It is | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
the only one that -- the any busier for UK forces is Camp Bastion. | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
Flying out from Shawbury is the commander, accompanied by the Air | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
Vice-Marshal responsible for helicopter flights. The | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
contribution of pilots trained here is seen as vital for the success of | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
operations against the Taliban. This is the lifeblood. RAF Shawbury | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
has always been the focus for helicopter training for defence. | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
Every soldier who is working in Afghanistan is intimately | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
associated with the helicopter operation. They all speak highly of | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
helicopter contributions. It is a very important thing to fly | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
accurately around that the theatre and the soldiers could not do what | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
they do without us. It will be six months before Group Captain Jock | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
Brown returns to the UK. In that time, he will have been responsible | :16:20. | :16:29. | |
for air space that is just as busy A proud day for everyone at RAF | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
Shawbury. Jimmy Hill, the Coventry City | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
legend has been back to the city to unveil a statue of himself. Fans | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
raised �100,000 for the tribute to one of the club's greatest servants. | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
We went along to have a look and find out what that the living | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
legend made of it. They turned out in their hundreds | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
to pay tribute to one of their heroes. The summit was their first | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
innings but for others it was a rare chance to say thank you for | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
transforming the Sky Blues 50 years ago. | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
Before we came along, no one knew us. When he arrived, everybody knew | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
us. Beneath the large sheet, you could almost imagine his bronze was | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
bursting to get free. This is one of 21 white doves that will bring | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
good luck to Coventry City and the new statue of Jimmy Hill. Britain's | :17:22. | :17:30. | |
today viewers -- Midlands Today's viewers are already had a good idea | :17:30. | :17:40. | |
:17:40. | :17:48. | ||
of what to expect when we met the Applause macro. APPLAUSE. I have | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
not had many of those done! To have a statue is one of those things | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
that is out of this world. A thing it is his proudest moment and Mein | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
too. I am very proud of the man and honoured to be here today. I think | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
it is a great honour and a deserved one. For me, you was the man that | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
made this club. A wonderful day, Coventry City is much more | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
important than Jimmy Hill, much more important. But you are the man | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
who made the club what it is today? I did my very best to help. One | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
onto of the things that I did, I have just realised, they are OK! | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
What an emotional day. Very emotional. The great thing was that | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
when we came out together, the sun started to shine. That epitomised | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
everything for me, what Jimmy Hill did father's football club. | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
years young and still in fine voice. Jimmy Hill came home today, for | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
ever among friends at Coventry City. These memories will stay with | :18:57. | :19:06. | |
:19:07. | :19:07. | ||
everyone. I hope so, it has been What a moving occasion. Very humble, | :19:07. | :19:14. | |
wasn't he? He was such an innovator. A brilliant day for lots of people. | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
On the pitch, there is a big night of football as Stoke City play | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
their first European match in almost 40 years. | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
They entertain the Croatian side Hajduk Split in the first of two | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
legs. They will play the return game on the Adriatic coastline in | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
seven days' time. We've -- our reporter is at the stadium now. | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
They must be very excited? Absolutely, this is only the third | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
qualifier of the Europa League but there are plenty of fans turning up | :19:44. | :19:54. | |
:19:54. | :19:54. | ||
to seek the Croatian opponents. I thought... The pronunciation is | :19:54. | :20:03. | |
pretty much how they say hello in these parts. Hajduk Split! We are | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
friendly people in the north. However you say their name, they | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
are here and can -- and keen to continue their traditions. They | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
have had a taste of what cities like in the Britannia Stadium but | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
on match days it is very different. They have done their homework on | :20:21. | :20:30. | |
Stoke City's style of play. We have watched DVDs that we are were given. | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
We are familiar with the team. We know it is a very aggressive team | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
and we are aware that it will be hard tonight. Stoke City is | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
certainly an imposing sight, you may say perfect for the rigours of | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
the English Premier League but not so suited to the more technical | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
games of the Europa League. But that approach is simple, they want | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
a success. You want to win the game. It is early for us. We have other | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
objectives and everything else but we want to win the Games. Desperate | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
to win the game. A big crowd his except -- expected and the fans are | :21:05. | :21:13. | |
excited about the club's first European adventures of 37 years. | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
Brilliant. I never thought this could happen to the club. It is | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
fantastic what has happened over the last pre-season is. European | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
stock or is something to be savoured, just like the local | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
delicacy oatcakes. The manager has a famous -- favourite filling. | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
Stoke City fans will hope he has not given any more gifts on the | :21:36. | :21:45. | |
pitch. Let us get the Croatian view on tonight's game. Here is a | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
reporter who follows Hajduk Split readily ifs. How are they going to | :21:49. | :21:58. | |
get on? As we say in Croatia, and so many people think that the match | :21:58. | :22:05. | |
will be very tough, very tight. But I will tell you one secret. I spoke | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
at one hour before the match to the president of Hajduk Split anti | :22:10. | :22:17. | |
Tommy that he predicted the result would be zero to Hajduk Split is. | :22:17. | :22:27. | |
:22:27. | :22:32. | ||
Gull would go to one of their players. How important is beat | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
League Two Hajduk Split? It is very important because it is a big | :22:37. | :22:45. | |
traditions. Hajduk Split has a big ambition every year in Europe. | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
Stoke City are newcomers to the scene but they are playing a team | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
with the big pedigree and they are after the glory. | :22:52. | :23:00. | |
Good luck to the team tonight. I hope that prediction is wrong. | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
For decades, Bedworth was the any town in the country to have its | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
Remembrance Day on Armistice Day and it was all down to the efforts | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
of one man. Today it the town said farewell to be war hero who died | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
last week. Our reporter was that the funeral today of a Frank | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
Parsons. For decades, he made sure that this | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
was a town that never forgot. Today, they were all remembering him. | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
Today, Bedworth salutes Frank Parsons. We say thank you to a man | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
who has done much to make this town proud. Since the 1960s, Frank | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
Parsons had run Bedworth's Armistice Day parade, the only UK | :23:49. | :23:56. | |
town to hold it on the 11th day of the 11th month. It is a great | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
honour. Supported by the people of the town and the people of the | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
country as well. An ex-Royal Marine, he took part in landings in ban and | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
Malaya and was captured by the Japanese in 1943. After a difficult | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
recovery, he devoted his life to remembering the fallen. It did not | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
matter where he went, people saluted him, they donated to them. | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
He was wonderful. What he did in the name of remembrance for this | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
town is absolutely phenomenal. Among his ideas for parade day was | :24:30. | :24:40. | |
:24:40. | :24:41. | ||
a poppy drops from a second world war aircraft. Today, hundreds lined | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
the same streets but to say goodbye. Their brilliant man who looked | :24:45. | :24:54. | |
after Bedworth. He was very much respected. He was. Frank Parsons | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
fought for his country and for the people of his town so that they | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
would ever forget those who had died. He has now thought his final | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
battle and these people will never forget Thames. -- fought his final | :25:07. | :25:16. | |
battle. A fitting tribute. Very emotional. | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
I hope the younger generation remember what he has done. Who is | :25:20. | :25:30. | |
:25:30. | :25:31. | ||
going to carry the mantle? Indeed. It is not a bad evening. Parts of | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
Warwickshire got up to 25 degrees to date. Tonight, a bit of a change. | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
We will see a little bit of rain. It is going to feel quite mild. The | :25:43. | :25:52. | |
reason is a very weak weather front pushing its way in from the West. | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
There is only a little bit of rain with this. We have started to see | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
some rain in Shropshire. They will spread across other parts of the | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
region through this evening. Very light, drizzly. Many of us will | :26:07. | :26:15. | |
actually stay dry. A bit of mist in places. A very mild night. Tamara, | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
we start quite cloudy and damp as well. -- tomorrow. As we go through | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
the day, the rain will be confined to the far south of the regions. | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
The rest of us will see some sunny spells with temperatures up to 22 | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
degrees. Pleasant but not as warm as today. Tomorrow evening will be | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
fine and dry. We will see a lot of Meriden overnight but some clear | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
spells. It may be quite a grey start to Saturday but we will again | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
see some sunshine coming through. Temperatures of 22 degrees. It will | :26:49. | :26:56. | |
not feel too bad at all. Sunday, things state similar but we may see | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
a bit of extra cloud. Overall, there will be a fair amount of | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
cloud with temperatures in the mid- twenties. Even the start of next | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
week looks fairly settled. A few splashes of rain tonight but that | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
is a temporary diversion and we go back to some after that. | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
Summer has arrived. It does come in the trunks. It is looking did at | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
the moment. Let us look again at tonight's main | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
headlines. Sara Payne whose daughter was murdered 11 years ago | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
has been told that she may have had her mobile phone hatch by a private | :27:33. | :27:35. |
