tonight as it comes to terms with a school coach crash in France. The | :01:09. | :01:17. | |
accident happened at the end of a skiing Hospital for children in a | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
Alvaston -- Alvechurch. The coach crash killed 59-year-old teacher p | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
per -- Peter Rippington. His wife, Sharon, was seriously injured. A | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
13-year-old girl is in serious condition. The coach left Valle | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
d'Aosta on Saturday expecting to be in Alvechurch around 1pm yesterday | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
afternoon. But around 2:30am, it veered off the A26 motorway and | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
down an embankment. Us as snowflakes fell at the Alvechurch | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
Middle School, a flag was flying at half-mast. | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
Through the day, classes ventured outside to see the many flowers and | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
cards, to remember Peter Rippington, or the teacher they nicknamed Mr | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
Rip. Where the children struggled with words, their parents found a | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
voice. I'm devastated. I cannot believe it has happened. There a | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
lot of people who were upset about the news. It is not the sort of | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
thing you expect when children go on holiday. I will never replace | :02:30. | :02:38. | |
him, he is one in a million. Just after midnight, a coach escorted by | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
police brought home the survivors of this horrific crash. Six people | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
are still in French hospitals with serious injuries. Among them, a | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
fret -- a 13-year-old girl who is critically ill. The school is open | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
today and I can reassure you that specialist support is him place | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
both for children and for the staff. So, just what caused this coach to | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
leave the French motorway in the middle of the night? Solus Travel | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
had to drivers for this Italian skiing trip. One of them, 47-year- | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
old Derek Thompson is under investigation. He has appeared in | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
court, French police say he may have fallen asleep at the wheel or | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
become ill. We do not know what happened, it may be the driver fell | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
asleep, it may be a defect in the vehicle, it may be something on the | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
road, it will take the police a while to finish their investigation | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
and identify exactly what did happen. These call it is closely | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
linked with St Laurence Church in off church. Candles have been lit | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
to remember Peter Rippington and hope that his wife, Sharon, will | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
recover well. I spoke to one parent whose child was on the buses with | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
minor injuries. She said she was getting checked out in hospital but | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
was OK and was desperate to get back to school to support her | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
friends. The main focus of the French police | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
inquiry will be what caused the coach to crash and a cry it won't | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
with no obvious hazards. -- on a quiet road. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
There are strict rules for coach drivers, they cannot drive for more | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
than nine hours a day, 10 in exceptional circumstances. Four | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
hours 30 minutes driving at a stretch is the maximum before it | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
compulsory break of 45 minutes has to be taken. I spoke to our | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
reporter who has been following developments in France. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
We know that Derek Thompson has been tested for drugs and alcohol | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
which came back negative. They have looked at his tachograph records | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
and there is nothing wrong there. He had taken the proper rest and so | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
they are working on the basis that he probably fell asleep on the -- | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
at the wheel. We have been to the crash site today and there is a | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
long time Mark on the motorway which tends to support the verdict | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
given by drivers on the road on the day that the coach swerved slowly | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
off the road. There was no sign of emergency braking. Has the driver | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
appeared in court? Yes, he has, he appeared at the magistrates' court | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
hearing Chalons-en-Champagne. He will be meeting with his legal | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
representatives at the moment. It is safe to assume that he will be | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
charged with involuntary manslaughter, bailed and free to | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
come home. What is the latest about the injured passengers? The biggest | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
concern is about to 13-year-old girl who drifted into a coma on | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
Sunday. They were worried about her and transferred her to Paris for | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
specialist treatment. She has had surgery but I am told that although | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
the injuries are not life threatening they are serious. | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
Police have been given extra time to question a man about the murder | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
of the Worcestershire school teacher, Betty Yates. Stephen | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
Farrow was detained yesterday in Kent, he is also being held over | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
the murder of a vicar at his vicarage in South Gloucester last | :06:25. | :06:35. | |
week. What are the latest developments? | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
Stephen Farrow, the man who has been arrested in connection with | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
two murders, he is 47 years of age, he was arrested yesterday morning | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
at around 4am in Folkestone by Kent police. That was in connection with | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
the murder of 77-year-old Betty Yates, she lived a short distance | :06:54. | :07:03. | |
away from where I am standing in the centre of Bewdley. Last Tuesday, | :07:03. | :07:12. | |
a vicar, John SAR does, -- John Suddards, had also been stabbed in | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
his vicarage. Police are formally linking those murders. I believe | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
there are plans to hold a memorial for Betty. Yes, it is early days | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
yet but there is a lot of talk about holding a memorial for Betty. | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
She was well liked and well known, she was a schoolteacher who was | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
known by lots of people. They want to remember her properly. I think | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
it would be nice to do that because after a horrific event it is not | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
nice to think of her as a woman who suffered like that. We would far | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
rather think of her as a teacher, well-respected, well-liked and a | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
member of the community of this town. Detectives from West Mercia | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
Police have joined with their colleagues at Avon and Somerset, | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
the force holding Stephen Farrow. The 46-year-old will be held for | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
the next 36 hours, taking us to the early hours of Wednesday morning. | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
Six people involved in Clarke -- a car clamping have admitted conning | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
vulnerable motorists and out of more than half a million pounds. | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
Worcester Crown Court heard how five men and one woman used | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
underhand -- underhand tactics to con money out of motorists. Car | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
drivers were asked to pay up to �300 to get their cars and on | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
clamped. Ricky Basra were shot at close | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
range in Melville Road in Edgbaston in June last year. 23-year-old | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
Barrington Denny, Gary Narwain, 21, and Sarah Singh, 31 were all found | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
guilty of his murder. A murder described by the judge as a | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
precisely planned and executed execution. | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
GPs have called for Stafford hospital to be downgraded to deal | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
with little more than births and broken bones. They are frustrated | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
by a lack of progress at Stafford Hospital. In an -- in a leaked | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
letter that they doubt the ability of a hospital to deal with the cuts | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
in funding it faces. There is a thing called the clinical | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
commissioning group, made up by a GPS and in 2013 they will hold the | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
purse strings. They have written to the NHS saying that Stafford | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
Hospital should boil down to four things. One, the accident and | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
emergency unit should become an urgent care centre, dealing with | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
broken bones, minor wins and pain relief. They have also said that | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
diagnostics should only be simple Diagnostics, the maternity unit | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
should be midwife Lear's -- midwife lead, there will not be any | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
consultants. And outpatients appointments should be done by | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
doctors coming from Stoke-on-Trent or Wolverhampton. I understand | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
tonight, with respect to accident and emergency, some changes should | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
take place by October this year. Why have they taken this line? | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
First of all, they do not think the hospital can make the financial | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
savings it says it can. They're talking about a �50 million | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
overspend and they are sick of bailing it out. They think that | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
over time the hospital will undergo a slow death and they prefer to do | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
things quickly. They want to take some things back into the community, | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
like treatment of the elderly and people with chronic illness. They | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
are also a bit annoyed because the hospital has gone ahead and made | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
its own plan without consulting them. | :11:05. | :11:15. | |
:11:15. | :11:16. | ||
Stella had tonight: -- still ahead up tonight: In memory of her grand | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
mother, a one-woman show linking Staffordshire, Paris and wartime | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
romance. It is milder this week, but she | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
will have to wait until later on to find out how impressive the | :11:29. | :11:36. | |
temperatures will be. This year marks the 30th | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
anniversary of the conflict in the Falkland Islands and for many | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
families a painful reminder of battles fought a thousand miles | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
away. Craig Jones died in the fighting and his father always | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
wanted a lasting memorial to him. Now that is about to happen, merry | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
road travelled with three generations of the Jones family to | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
seen their genes become a reality. An insignificant small plot of land | :12:06. | :12:15. | |
in the Falklands Islands, until now. Richard Jones, who and his son and | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
two grandson have come to the island, soon-to-be renamed Craig | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
Ireland. Craig Jones was killed 30 years ago. His father had the idea | :12:26. | :12:35. | |
to buy a piece of land him in his memory. We stand before you today, | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
but, to commemorate the bravery shown by a Craig Jones. The is it | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
what you hoped it would be? It is better, far better. We have been | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
fired -- quite a few years in the dream of this and to come here as a | :12:51. | :12:59. | |
reality today is so nice. They were put in touch with the Phillips | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
family, as an act of gratitude, the Philips have given them this small | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
island. I do not know why am smiling so much. It is a beautiful | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
island, you can see for yourself. It was a beautiful ceremony to | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
dedicate the stone and the plaque. It has been 30 years but Borrie is | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
it the right thing to have done. Richard, his son and grandson are | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
finely able to leave this island as a permanent memorial, not only to | :13:33. | :13:42. | |
Craig but up to all the servicemen Mary will have a special programme | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
from the Falkland Islands for Inside Out here on BBC One next | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
month. Tonight at 7:30pm, Inside Out will be looking at the work of | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
a special army unit based in Cheltenham. When the remains of | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
servicemen are recovered from the battlefields of World War One and | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
Two - it's their job to try to find descendants and arrange a military | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
burial. This re-dedication ceremony was held in memory of Lance | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
Sergeant Edward Hartley, who died in 1944, an emotional occasion for | :14:07. | :14:17. | |
:14:17. | :14:20. | ||
his family. Very, very special. Something, | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
probably one of the best days of my life. | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
The riverside garden where Charles Darwin, famous for his theory of | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
evolution, once walked could be bought by the Shropshire wildlife | :14:29. | :14:36. | |
trust. It was owned by the Darwin family and the trust now needs to | :14:36. | :14:43. | |
raise �75,000 to buy and restore the garden. | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
Undisturbed and over a runner, this was Charles Darwin's childhood | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
garden and soon it could be open to the public. Every day, just before | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
breakfast, Charles Darwin and his brother could take a wander down | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
these packs to consider and contemplate. It was known as the | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
thinking cap. The theory of evolution is food for thought. Now | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
the trust has plans to buy this land and restore it to its former | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
glory. When we take it on, we to get on for ever, so we need to make | :15:17. | :15:24. | |
sure we got enough money to be able to look after it so our target is | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
�75,000 and I think that is a snip. * One of already sits pride in the | :15:29. | :15:37. | |
town centre but to people want more of him? Go people know about his | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
birth here and there were key carried out, it's got to be | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
beneficial for the town itself. don't think there is enough are | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
made of him, as far as I am aware. We should be focusing on the 21st | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
century, not thinking backwards. a tourist draw, not enough effort | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
has been made of him because there has know where for visitors to go | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
but if we can acquire the garden and open it to the public, that | :16:04. | :16:11. | |
means we can put him at the centre ground. The trust has already | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
raised more than �1000, all donations are welcome. | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
Time now for the sports news. Stokes City and Birmingham City | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
both survived into the sixth-round draw of the FA Cup. Stoke | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
comfortably beat Crawley Town 2-0. Next for them is a trip to Anfield. | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
The Blues enjoyed two good draws at the weekend. | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
They've defied all expectations this season and on Saturday | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
Birmingham City were at it again. Chelsea began the fifth round tie | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
as hot favourites. But the Blues struck first through David Murphy. | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
The joy looked like being shortlived as within two minutes | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
Chelsea earned a penalty. Colin Doyle's superb save kept Juan Mata | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
at bay. Chelsea finally equalised after an hour through Daniel | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
Sturridge but the Blues stood firm afterwards for a deserved draw. The | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
Cup draw was also kind. If they win the replay they'll host | :17:10. | :17:20. | |
Championship rivals Leicester in the quarter-finals. We are going | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
back to St Andrew's the. On any draw, all you want is perhaps the | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
opportunity to play against opposition that are not Premier | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
League and of course playing at home and that is what the draw has | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
brought us. The Blues have an impressive record here this season, | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
they have not lost in the league. Two FA Cup winds and there of to | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
Wembley for a semi-final. That's something Stoke City know all about | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
and they stayed on course for Wembley despite losing Rory Delap | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
to a controversial red card at Crawley. Stoke kept their composure | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
to earn a first half penalty which Jon Walters converted. They made | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
the game shortly after half time through Peter Crouch. Stoke have a | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
tough draw away to Liverpool but the fans are sure to be dreaming of | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
more Cup glory. In five months, we could be | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
celebrating a gold medal in the Olympic village from from a rider | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
whose career we have long followed on this programme. Jess Varnish | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
from Bromsgrove was one of half of the woman sprint team who took gold | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
in the World Cup test event at the Olympic Velodrome this weekend. | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
Jess rode the first lap before Victoria Pendleton took over to | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
beat the favourites, Australia, in world record times. | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
It was hard to do, I didn't think I was going to go faster, I was | :18:38. | :18:48. | |
:18:48. | :18:49. | ||
feeling very fit teach me after this morning was. | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
Go she's looking good, isn't she? She has always been hard-working | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
and dedicated, she was one of our younger sports award winners will | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
stop she is so hard-working and dedicated and she's only 21. Lots | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
of support there, a coach load of friends and family will stop a lot | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
more for that and the Olympics, not even the parents will get to the | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
Olympics. Let's hope she can do it. A young footballer has overcome | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
bitter disappointment to win a professional playing contract in a | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
national competition. Chris Smith had previously been rejected by | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
Stoke City and Everton but he has been chosen from more than 5000 | :19:31. | :19:40. | |
applicants to win a year's contract with Swindon Town. | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
It's a bit like the X Factor but footballers and for 21 year-old | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
Chris Smith from Stoke-on-Trent, his dreams are now within touching | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
distance. I couldn't believe I got to the final. When I think of how | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
many people entered, 5500 Gummer also if you think you are in the | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
final four of that money, it is daunting. He has come close before | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
but spells with Everton Manchester's academy sides ended in | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
disappointment. One last role of the dice then, a week's trial at | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
Swindon Town at a chance to impress one of the game's biggest names. | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
a right-back, he has a fantastic quality because he is a tough | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
defender. Chris played and trained alongside Swindon Town players with | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
one prize in mind, a year's professional contract. At the end | :20:30. | :20:38. | |
of it, the boss, he said yes. prospect for him is very good to | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
because at 19, we can work with him and the talent is good quality. I | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
think he can have a professional future. I cannot believe it, I am | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
absolutely over the moon. I don't know what to say. Everything I have | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
done in the last few months has paid off. He says the support of | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
family and friends helped him overcome the knock backs and to | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
realise that dream, Chris Smith, a professional footballer. | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
You can find out more about Chris and see how he heard he had won the | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
competition in Late Kick-off on BBC One tonight at 11:05pm. There will | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
be all the rest of the Football League action, too. | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
Some stories are timeless and are never diminished in the retelling. | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
For Caroline Horton, the lot shared by her grandparents is played out | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
night after night in her one-woman show that has toured the world. | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
Last night Caroline came home to Staffordshire to share once more a | :21:35. | :21:45. | |
:21:45. | :21:49. | ||
tale of life and love conquering all in wartime. | :21:49. | :21:59. | |
Well come to Paris. It is a simple story of love between a stature man | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
and a French woman that Caroline Horton's play, you're not like the | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
other girls democracy, has managed to capture the hearts of people | :22:05. | :22:14. | |
across the world. Her inspiration, her French grandmother, and her | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
many stories of how she met and fell in love with a charming | :22:17. | :22:24. | |
gentleman from Cheadle who went by the name of zero. Go they were | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
engaged during the war so we didn't see each other for nearly six years. | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
Getting telegrams across was very difficult or stop here are some of | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
the actual letters and telegrams good Chrissie and Seoul exchange | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
between another. Many of these have helped inspire Caroline to write | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
the play. Caroline it took the show to the 2010 Edinburgh Festival | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
where she was named Best solo performer and then around the world | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
are. Last night she brought her grandparents love story back home | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
to Whittington in stature for a very special evening organised by | :22:59. | :23:08. | |
her dad. Go for me, that story, I heard it so often that it went | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
straight over my head, really. It wasn't until Caroline was saying, | :23:15. | :23:25. | |
:23:25. | :23:28. | ||
this is pretty special go, it deserves to be remembered. | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
Caroline's grandmother died last year but not before she got to see | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
the play herself in a very special performance at her nursing home. | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
There's one point when I opened the suitcase and balloons come out and | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
this French record that she always loved comes on and the balloons fly | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
up and her face just lights up. I think one of her biggest pleasures, | :23:53. | :24:01. | |
for me, was that she, as her memories faded, she would forget | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
things so she would forget how she met Searle and I was able to retell | :24:06. | :24:15. | |
her her own stories go which was amazing. Go Caroline is working on | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
new material but intends to keep telling the story of her | :24:18. | :24:28. | |
:24:28. | :24:32. | ||
grandparents love for as long as people want to see it. | :24:32. | :24:42. | |
:24:42. | :24:42. | ||
That is an incredible story. A look I thought we were doing last well | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
last week with temperatures that just touched double figures but we | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
are going to push that boat out further this week with an early | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
taste of spring. We are lapping up these beautiful yellow colours that | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
will stream in along the south westerlies. Also moving in across | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
the Atlantic, we have a bundle of weather fronts. Quite breezy this | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
week but because high pressure is situated to the south, it will | :25:06. | :25:16. | |
:25:16. | :25:16. | ||
weaken those weather fronts. Go rain at the moment is desperately | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
needed. For tonight, the rain is situated to the north, just patchy | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
rain that could turn heavier end to the northern fringes of | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
Staffordshire. Elsewhere, is licking dry with a few clear spells | :25:30. | :25:39. | |
but temperatures are down to about six Celsius. Temperatures tomorrow | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
on the rise once again. It is a cloudier picture than this morning | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
but we will start to see that outbreak up through the day and any | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
parts the in higher grounds should see the best of the sunshine | :25:55. | :26:04. | |
:26:05. | :26:05. | ||
developing through the afternoon. Temperatures are up to 11 Celsius. | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
Very little change in tomorrow night, we have a good deal of cloud | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
and patchy rain will be to the north of the region but we have | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
loads of it and nine Celsius, one of the mildest nights of the winter | :26:16. | :26:23. | |
so far. The best bet of all will be Wednesday. Thursday, 16 Celsius. | :26:23. | :26:30. | |
Very good for the time of year. Tonight's main headlines: The | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
relaxation of border controls went too far says the Home Secretary who | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
has promised the system will be tightened up. | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
A coach driver appears in a French court following a crash in which a | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
teacher from Alvechurch in Worcestershire died. | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
A giant ship will be setting sail from the centre of Birmingham to | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
celebrate the start of the Cultural Olympiad. It is the brainchild of a | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
dance company called Motion House who have in the past performed with | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
JCB diggers. The free show is one of the largest outdoor art | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
spectaculars ever mounted in the UK with a nightly audience of 6000 | :27:04. | :27:14. | |
:27:14. | :27:15. | ||
people in Victoria Square in Birmingham city centre. | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
We have been working on the show for nearly two years now and our | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
idea is to produce a spectacle so that when you come to the show, it | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
will be like you have gone to the movies but they are filming yet | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
while you are they're so will all the crowd scenes, and you are in it. | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
Performers will be going past you and this giant ship will set sail | :27:36. | :27:39. |
