Hello and welcome to Midlands Today with Nick Owen and Suzanne Virdee. | :00:04. | :00:07. | |
The headlines tonight: Failed at every turn, why did three hospitals | :00:07. | :00:16. | |
fail to diagnose a teenager's TB which then killed her? All of their | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
commissions were devastated by the fact they had not made the | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
diagnosis of. Hundreds in the queue, symbol of the desperate scramble | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
for jobs in the region. Ten years on, a son remembers the | :00:31. | :00:38. | |

Good evening and welcome to Friday's Midlands Today from the | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
BBC. Tonight, the parents of a teenage girl who died from | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
tuberculosis say she was failed at every turn by doctors. They took | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
15-year-old Alina Sarag to three hospitals and all failed to | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
diagnose her. The BBC can reveal that one | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
hospital didn't identify TB from an X-ray and cancelled a simple test | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
which could have shown the disease. Our health correspondent, Michele | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
Paduano, has this exclusive report. Alina Sarag died earlier this year | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
from TB, having been in constant agony for four months. Her parents | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
tried desperately to find out what was wrong. Appalling, disgusting. | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
There was no response for anything, even though we were telling them | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
that she was vomiting. She was eating something, she would eat a | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
great, chivvied into six pieces. Within a minute, they would come | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
back. It was at this school during 2009, but she was diagnosed with | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
dormant tuberculosis. She was treated with antibiotics but none | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
of the stick -- an independent investigation found they had not | :02:13. | :02:23. | |
:02:23. | :02:24. | ||
The trust which runs the clinic said, we have completed an internal | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
investigation into the care provided to Alina Sarag by | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
Birmingham Chest Clinic and an action plan has been developed with | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
our clinicians. A year later after a holiday in Pakistan, Alina became | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
ill. First she was taken to Heartlands Hospital. It found | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
nothing wrong. She went to Birmingham Children's Hospital. It | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
queried typhoid or an infestation. Then the family took her to City | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
and Sandwell hospitals where her best chance was lost. So why to | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
different hospitals? We took her to different hospitals because we were | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
hoping that somebody would pick up what was wrong with her. We thought | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
maybe a better Dr would pick up what was wrong with her. We were | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
failed at every turn. She was brought here to the accident and | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
emergency where a junior doctor did carry out a thorough investigation. | :03:10. | :03:20. | |
:03:20. | :03:24. | ||
He advised a test on her flam up but was overruled. -- phlegm. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Radiologist, who examined the x-ray thought TB unlikely. A radiologist | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
who examined the X-ray for the review thought it was TB. The | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
hospitals medical director admits that there were mistakes with Miss | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
Sarag's care, but not in the hospital's systems. He insisted | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
that not diagnosing TB from the X- ray was reasonable and | :03:39. | :03:48. | |
understandable. The recommendation was to see how she goes. If it was | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
still an issue, we would have repeated the X-ray further down the | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
line and think about further tests. Finally, Birmingham children's | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
Hospital decided it was all in her head. Alina Sarag was sent to a | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
psychologist, but was too ill for the assessment. She died on the day | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
she was due to go back. Michele is here in the studio now. | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
Michele, we know TB is on the rise again, but this case suggests the | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
health service hasn't got a firm grasp of the issue, doesn't it? | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
This is only one case and TB is difficult to diagnose. I feel sorry | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
for the hospital because at least they considered the possibility. | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
Heartlands hospital knew the history but did not do a chest X- | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
ray. The Children's Hospital had two opportunities and didn't even | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
consider it. Jacky Chambers things they do need to raise awareness. | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
think everyone needs to be aware that tuberculosis is still around | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
in the city. It is very important that we educate all of our doctors, | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
both family and hospital doctors, to be conscious and alert for the | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
symptoms and signs of tuberculosis, particularly the more unusual forms. | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
That is what we are taking forward right now. She also wants to be | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
able to flag up these potential cases between different hospitals. | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
I'm afraid as far as the inquest is concerned, we will have to wait | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
until next year. Still ahead tonight: what needs to be done to | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
ensure the business jewel in Birmingham's crown shines even | :05:27. | :05:37. | |

A graphic illustration of unemployment rates in the region | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
was there for all to see in the Black Country today, as more than | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
1,500 people chased 500 jobs. Huge queues snaked all around a | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
college campus in Bilston in the scramble for the posts. Joanne | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
Writtle reports. This was the scene outside the City of Wolverhampton | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
College as people queued around the building at a jobs fair. Among them | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
three women made redundant yesterday when the supermarket they | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
worked in closed down in Willenhall. Joanne Cook had clocked up 33 years | :06:03. | :06:12. | |
service. I feel numb at the minute. It has not sunk in. On Monday | :06:12. | :06:21. | |
morning, one I'm getting up for work, and will realise 10th lost -- | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
I will realise that that point. Thomas Whyte was made redundant in | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
March. He's 61 and was a carpenter and repair team leader for a | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
housing trust for 15 years. It is hard for my generation. If my wife | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
was not in work, we would be in a desperate situation and might even | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
lose our house. Inside, organisers and employers saw a non-stop stream | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
of people. More than Hampton -- Wolverhampton is a place where | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
people are keen to take positive actions to get back into were. | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
is the scale of people looking for work and there are still more | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
queuing outside. 25 employers are here with a potential 500 temporary | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
and permanent jobs on offer. Thomas, from Wednesfield, tried to sell his | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
skills to everyone. I am feeling this could be an opening for me. I | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
would like to get my foot in the door. Meanwhile, the redundant shop | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
workers we saw earlier were optimistic about interviews with | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
other stores. You will hear from me this evening, OK, so you can come | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
in for us. Good luck with your application. As for Thomas... | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
are a number of companies who are asking me to apply and some have | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
promised me an interview. This is 1000 % better than the response | :07:46. | :07:54. | |
I've been getting for the last six months. I've got a couple of weeks | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
left to find so thing. Hours after opening, people were still arriving | :07:58. | :08:08. | |
:08:08. | :08:10. | ||
to queue. Walsall council has accidentally | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
dumped personal details in his kit. Hundreds of documents were found. | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
The statements were thrown away by a contractor on the council's | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
behalf. Plans for a train station at the | :08:22. | :08:32. | |
:08:32. | :08:34. | ||
Rico arena and a major upgrade of their line have moved a step closer. | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
-- Ricoh. On Sunday, millions will remember a | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
day that shook the world, September 11th 2001 when terrorists flew two | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
planes into New York's Twin Towers. Memorial events are taking place, | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
and prayers will be said at church services across the West Midlands. | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
In this special report, Ben Godfrey's been to meet people from | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
our region whose lives fundamentally changed on that | :08:56. | :09:06. | |
:09:06. | :09:15. | ||
On September the 11th 2001, New Yorkers greeted a cool, cloudless | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
morning. But a tragedy was about to unfold as people from the Midlands | :09:20. | :09:29. | |
were heading into work at the World Trade Centre. The sky turned black | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
and the degree, you could see... We were inside at that time. Andrew | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
Philpott from Worcester was helping to launch the American arm of an IT | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
business. He was eating breakfast in the north tower when the first | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
hijacked plane struck. This hotel room card, a chilling reminder that | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
he and colleagues survived this atrocity. We had to escape from the | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
building is wearing what we had. Have got the ship still which has | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
got burn marks in because of the aviation fuel that was coming down. | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
-- I have got. With explosions being seen across the skyline, CNN | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
correspondent Patricia Sabga was despatched to file eyewitness | :10:06. | :10:16. | |
reports. Paddy, are you there? here. About an hour ago, I was on | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
the corner of Broadway and another street, 1000 yards from the World | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
Trade Centre. The first tower collapsed. There was a massive | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
explosion. This morning, she was on BBC Hereford and Worcester | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
recalling a moment that changed her life. For a split second, I thought | :10:32. | :10:42. | |
:10:42. | :10:42. | ||
I'm going to do I. -- going to die. She became a war correspondent, | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
then married an ex SAS officer and moved to Worcestershire. This one | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
woman started screaming at me. She said I need to phone my family. | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
Coventry, as he watched on television, one name was all Rob | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
Halligan was waiting to hear. That of his father Bob. He was working | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
for an insurance firm on the 99th floor of the south tower. His | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
remains have never been found. was a real Englishman in New York. | :11:13. | :11:23. | |
:11:23. | :11:28. | ||
He loved his English eccentricities. 9/11 changed Rob's life. He pursued | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
his passion for music, this song he filmed on the streets of New York. | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
He's also raised more than �25,000 for charity. How do you feel toured | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
the perpetrators of this atrocity? Any sense of forgiveness? Sometimes | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
I can say yes, sometimes I can say and working on it. I think they're | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
wrong a lot of other issues. You have to look at why it happened, go | :11:50. | :12:00. | |
back beyond that time to find out... You need to draw a little bit of a | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
line under the last 10 years and say it is time to move on and now, | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
and hopefully find a bit of closure. There are other families in the | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
Midlands whose loved ones were killed on 9/11. Here and on Sunday, | :12:13. | :12:23. | |

Jewellers in one of Birmingham's most historic districts called for | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
greater business support from the Government today. | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
The Jewellery Quarter dates back more than 250 years and is still | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
home to over 400 jewellery companies. But many of those firms | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
face big challenges for the future. Made in the Jewellery Quarter, | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
Birmingham. A platinum gold ring, in the expert hands of jeweller | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
James Newman. Our customer is really looking for something | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
special, something unique, something original. James Newman | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
joined others in banging the drum for Birmingham manufacturing, for | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
the benefit of this man. A good to meet you, welcome. Martin | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
Donnelly's job is to advise ministers in the Department for | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
Business and at the School of Jewellery he met company bosses who | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
had plenty to say. Lots of discussions about skills. Good | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
taking him say that this current government gets manufacturing but | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
we need to see growth coming through. Manufacturing as a whole | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
has suffered through cheap overseas competition. 30,000 people worked | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
in the jewellery trade in Birmingham at the turn of the 20th | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
century. It's now around 2,000. But this isn't about trying to compete | :13:43. | :13:52. | |
against cheap foreign imports. The story now is not volume but value, | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
and the job they are trying to do here is promote the Jewellery | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
Quarter as the place to come for high quality, high value goods. | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
often people don't know what Birmingham has to offer. We have an | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
amazing wealth of activity in the jewellery Quarter. The half high- | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
end automotive and specialist, high value added manufacturing. We need | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
to celebrate his it. And it was a message the man from the ministry | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
was taking on board. The high quality luxury-goods market is | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
growing fast with a new consumers in Asia and elsewhere. This is a | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
real opportunity for Birmingham. The quality of high-end product and | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
design is world-beating. And as he left he promised to return and in | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
the meantime promote the city. It's likely many people will hold him to | :14:34. | :14:44. | |
:14:44. | :15:00. | ||
Wakeman School and arts college has a good reputation. This year's | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
GCSEs with the best ever. But its pupil numbers are at an all-time | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
low and despite months of protests culminating in this demonstration, | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
at Shire Hall, the decision to close was taken. The pupils have | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
mocked up a crime scene because they believe it is criminal for | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
their score to be closed and they are doing it right under the | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
meeting rooms where those decisions are being made. They should see our | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
school for how it is and that it is a good school which should not shy. | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
If you get rid of the family, it will be an incredible a disaster. | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
Emotive as their arguments are, they were not enough to change | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
minds and the council said it was not viable to run a more than half | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
empty school. The school buildings can accommodate around 670 pupils. | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
But at present, there are just 230. For a minute there was talk of | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
school closures, obviously parents link that with our school and | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
started to be concerned about their children coming here. -- from the | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
minute there was talk. I've lost about 180 children in the last few | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
months. So now the fight is on with the school claiming that these | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
Council's consultation process will flawed. There were numerous | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
complaints to the ombudsman and there are now investigating | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
Shropshire council to see whether or not they are guilty of | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
maladministration for example. There is also the adjudicator. If | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
they look at the case, I am fairly confident it would be rejected and | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
the council would have to support the school in repairing the damage | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
that the council has done to it. The school is it Scheduled to close | :16:45. | :16:53. | |
in 2013 but the real fight to keep it open has only just begun. | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
Shropshire council told us they refute all claims of | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
maladministration, saying it has been a very difficult decision to | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
close the school. They are absolutely satisfied they followed | :17:03. | :17:11. | |
correct processes to the letter. Still to come tonight: the answer | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
to this question, ahead of Europe's largest free arts festival - what | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
links these two photos? And I'll be here with a look ahead | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
to a blustery autumnal weekend, which could have a real sting in | :17:21. | :17:31. | |
:17:31. | :17:32. | ||
its tail. All the details coming up 600 years ago, an unknown Midlander | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
commissioned a book or compilation of texts. It's called the Vernon | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
Manuscript, extremely long and it's been described as one of the | :17:37. | :17:46. | |
greatest treasures of early English literature. | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
It's also unheard of, outside the Oxford library where it's kept. But | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
now the book has been digitised. And for researchers it's a chance | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
to hear how it might have sounded centuries ago. Here's our science | :17:55. | :18:04. | |
correspondent David Gregory. The Vernon manuscript, poetry and | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
prose for pious readers written in 1400. And written in a West | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
Midlands dialect. It is written on a calf skin and it is thought it | :18:13. | :18:23. | |
:18:23. | :18:24. | ||
took 200 animals. You can now fit it all on one DVD. So while the | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
manuscript remains locked in the Bodlean Library in Oxford, the | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
words are returning to the Midlands home to the dialect they were | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
written in. A lot of the key characteristics of the accents now | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
were already there 600 years ago. We are studying the relationship | :18:37. | :18:47. | |
:18:47. | :18:56. | ||
between the two. You is often Researchers from the University of | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
Birmingham are now touring Birmingham and the Black Country. | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
Recording people speaking the words of the Vernon Manuscript as they | :19:04. | :19:14. | |
:19:14. | :19:20. | ||
were meant to sound. Go, he said, woman, in peace. The in habit of a | :19:20. | :19:27. | |
home is... I might ask him if forgiveness and all my sins... | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
Reading 600 year-old texts takes some practice but the hope is that | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
one day this manuscript will go on display back in the Midlands, where | :19:36. | :19:45. | |

The Premier League returns tomorrow after the international break, with | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
Stoke City hoping that record signing Peter Crouch can mark his | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
debut with a goal against one of his former clubs Liverpool. | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
While West Bromwich Albion will be desperate to kick start their | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
season, no points so far after their first three games. They've | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
conceded late goals in all three. But manager Roy Hodgson doesn't | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
think it'll be an ongoing problem. The timing of the goals as one of | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
those things that happens in football. Goals are scored in early | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
and they are scored late. Sometimes you can make a big mistake trying | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
to read something into it which actually is not they have. -- is | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
not there. England open their Rugby World Cup | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
campaign against Argentina tomorrow in New Zealand, hoping to repeat | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
their final-winning heroics of 2003. But today the excitement was also | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
building 11,000 miles away, in the town that gave the game its name. | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
Ian Winter reports from Rugby. Out side the merchants in, Marco Polo | :20:55. | :21:05. | |
:21:05. | :21:06. | ||
had been decorated by a Malory face paint. Business was brisk. This | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
morning, several VIP guests joined the party. Half-a-dozen Malory's | :21:11. | :21:21. | |
:21:21. | :21:23. | ||
were tucking into breakfast to celebrate to be opening match. -- | :21:23. | :21:33. | |

Maororis. But Bruce was not in town just took celebrate the victory, | :21:35. | :21:45. | |

There are thousands of different dancers but all of them not convey | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
the soul, passion and strength of the tribes. You will see many | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
during the World Cup but today was a new experience for the school | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
children or rugby. It was good how they used their facial expressions | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
and how they danced. I thought it was a bit weird but I really | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
enjoyed it. Were used get? really. It was scary in some parts | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
but enjoyed one as well. Maybe this wasn't the right moment to remind | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
them that that New Zealand have not won the World Cup since 1987. If | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
they don't win it on old -- home soil, how about England? You never | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
know. Semi-finals, without a doubt, I hope they can do all the way to | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
the final. It will be the All Blacks all the way! It is not every | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
day you pop into rugby town centre and come face to face with these | :22:37. | :22:45. | |
guys. I was united in French are by sharing the same breath. Let's hope | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
we are still doing that if England face the All Blacks in next month's | :22:50. | :23:00. | |

The Paralympic Games tickets go on sale today. I want my friends and | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
family to come. They didn't get to come to Beijing so having them | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
there will be good. It sounds like loads of people want to come. It is | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
going to be good. It's the same as the Olympics relive. Very | :23:28. | :23:36. | |
Now your chance to become real life art. It's a new self-portrait | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
project aimed at giving a snapshot of the people of Birmingham. | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
The idea's being started at Arts Fest, the country's biggest free | :23:42. | :23:50. | |
arts festival. Our Arts Reporter, Satnam Rana has the details. | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
Photographer Brian Homer's on the look out for people across | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
Birmingham to take part in his new self-portrait project. It's been | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
inspired by these snaps, taken in 1979 by people in Handsworth on | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
Grove lane. He was one of the original architects. We wanted to | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
show the community in a positive light. That is what we did, I think. | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
To that extent, we are still trying to show Birmingham in a positive | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
light. Perhaps Birmingham as a whole does not have a good | :24:17. | :24:26. | |
reputation and this is one way the can say we've got a good, to hear. | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
-- a good culture here. Phil and Julie took part as passers by in | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
1979. It's a long time ago. I've got middle-aged spread. It's nice | :24:36. | :24:46. | |
to come back and recreate those images. Unlike 32 years ago, | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
participants will be able to walk away with a print for now. But | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
their photos won't be wasted. They will end up here, the new library | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
of Birmingham. But we will have to wait until 2013 to take a look, | :24:57. | :25:05. | |
which has won the Library is due to open a. Mobile photo shops will | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
appear across the city between now and the end of the month, offering | :25:08. | :25:16. | |
future generations a glimpse into the people of Birmingham in 2011. I | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
think you should have your photograph taken! All the | :25:21. | :25:25. | |

shaping up as a bog-standard autumnal weekend with blustery | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
winds and a little bit of rain. The scenes some showers pushing | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
northwards during today. They continue their journey through this | :25:55. | :25:59. | |

turn heavier for a time. It will clear a way to the east to leave | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
something brighter during the afternoon. A blustery day and | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
temperatures of 20 or 21. Not as impressive as they were. It is | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
again blistery on Sunday. A story of sunny spells and scattered | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
showers. That wind would increase through the day on Sunday. 18 Nov | :26:32. | :26:39. | |

other side of the Atlantic. There is a swirl of cloud sitting to the | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
east of the US. This is the track we are expecting it to take across | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
the Atlantic. There is some doubt because it could end up further | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
north. Either way, even though it will not be a hurricane, it will | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
still pack a punch when it arrives. Through Sunday night and into | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
Monday, we will see his band of heavy rain pushing northwards | :27:02. | :27:05. | |

is a lot still to play for. Keep in touch with the forecast as we go | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
