there are major concerns about the spread of disease. That is all from | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
us. Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The headlines tonight: The true cost of stolen livestock, with lamb | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
prices on the up sheep rustling is now big business. | :00:11. | :00:20. | |
If they steal ten sheep, they have saved ?800, that is why they do it. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
We hear how eating meat from stolen sheep could be dangerous. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Also tonight: Feeling the impact of Typhoon Haiyan in the Midlands ` the | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Filipino community looking for ways to help. These people leave in | :00:31. | :00:40. | |
classrooms, in halls and we will try to make them as comfortable as we | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
can. This magnificent car made entirely | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
in the Black Country ` find out why it will never take to our roads. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
The actress who's swapped Coronation Street for treading the boards in | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
her own theatre group in the Potteries. It has been a beautiful | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
day but that means it is a cold night on the way and it is time to | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
get scraping those cars. A full forecast later. | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
Good evening. There's been a huge increase in livestock rustling as | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
the price of meat, in particular lamb, has hit record highs. Last | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
year, around 70,000 sheep were stolen across the UK and that number | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
is expected to rise. The cost to farmers is around ?6 million and | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
that of course feeds through to us, as consumers. With top quality lamb | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
selling at up to ?12 a kilo in the shops, it's not hard to see the | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
attraction for thieves. But as our Rural Affairs Correspondent David | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
Gregory`Kumar has been finding out, meat from stolen sheep could prove | :01:43. | :01:52. | |
dangerous to eat. On police patrol in Shropshire | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
looking for livestock rustlers. While general farm theft including | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
the stealing of agricultural machinery is down, livestock theft | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
is on the up. Commercial vehicles found near a gate where `` Gateway, | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
we will find out if the vehicle has a legitimate purpose and find out | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
what they are doing. A vehicle parked at a Gateway has explaining | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
to do. A legitimate butchers like this one in Wolverhampton knows | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
exactly where their meat has come from. Each of the lambs we buy has | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
the Staffordshire not on it and that gives us the origin. But they also | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
know why livestock theft is increasingly grew quickly. To cattle | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
bought last week cost us over ?2000. If they steal ten sheep they have | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
saved ?800. That is why they do it. This farm has been targeted three | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
times now, losing over 140 animals but for the farmer it is not just | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
about the money. I worry how they are being slaughtered. We try to | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
look after them to the best of our ability when they are here with us. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Where do they end up, how are they killed? I do not know. I am worried | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
I will be targeted again. Why shouldn't they? They have been here | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
three times, why can't they come again? At night it drives my wife | :03:33. | :03:44. | |
and I mad. They could be back. I hope they don't. This is not just | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
about crime or animal welfare. Meat from stolen animals could be | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
dangerous. Farmers use powerful drugs to treat their animals but | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
they know not to sell them when the drugs are in their system. With | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
stolen sheep you have no guarantee of that. There is the possibility | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
this meat is unfit for human consumption. Livestock theft is a | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
police priority and a growing worry for our farmers. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
And David's here with me in the studio. David, we saw Mr Williams | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
padlocking his gates at the end of your report, is there much else he | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
can do to protect his livelihood? Farmers and the police are looking | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
at cameras like this. They are weatherproof, remote cameras | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
triggered by people moving in front of them. You can try to catch people | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
in the act. What about the sheep themselves, is there any more that | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
can be done to identify them? Sheep on Mr Williams farm have a big green | :04:54. | :05:02. | |
stamp on their back. They do have two tags but they are easy to | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
remove. There was talk of chipping but the chips move around under the | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
skin of sheep. Now they are talking about retinal scanning of the sheep | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
or even GPS tracking, putting a tracker on one animal in the flock. | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
Where do the sheep go? Probably in the food chain, that is the big | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
worry so even the catering trade. For farmers the big concern is he | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
has had lands stolen. They are very young, too young to go for slaughter | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
so it is likely they are going to other farmers. For someone like Mr | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
Williams, the thought other farmers are involved, they find that quite | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
upsetting. Coming up later in the programme: | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
Throwing down a challenge ` how Walsall has become a centre aiming | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
for Olympic judo medals. As an international appeal is | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
launched to help those affected by Typhoon Haiyan, Filipinos living in | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
this region are doing what they can to help. Hundreds of thousands are | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
in desperate need of food, water and shelter after the massive storm last | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Friday. At least 10,000 people are thought to have been killed. Cath | :06:20. | :06:28. | |
Mackie reports. In recent years, Filipino nurses | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
have helped keep the NHS running. 200 work for the University 's | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
hospitals Birmingham trust and many are learning if their families and | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
friends have survived one of the worst storms in history. My heart is | :06:42. | :06:52. | |
crying. I friends in Tacloban. After days of no use, Waterloo Martinez | :06:53. | :07:03. | |
was told his mother were safe. They are struggling with food a bit | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
because some of the roads are still blocked with the fallen trees. There | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
was no electricity at all. The UN is calling the situation absolutely | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
desperate. At least 10,000 are dead and hundreds of thousands have been | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
made homeless. The West Midlands is home to one of the largest Filipino | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
populations in the country and seeing these desperate images of | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
their homeland is stirring many to action. Filipinos in Birmingham are | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
now coordinating a national campaign. Doreen Mooney was | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
contacted by Downing Street to see how they could help. We need | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
nonperishable food because these people live in classrooms, in halls | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
and we will try to make them as comfortable as the card. Sheets, | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
towels, those kinds of things, even toys. We need volunteers to collect | :08:00. | :08:09. | |
goods in other localities. Donation points are being set up around the | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
country and the team will work with international agencies to make sure | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
the aid gets to where it is needed most. | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
Joining me now is Eddie Brioness from the Filipino International | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
Christian Fellowship. What are you doing to try and help with the | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
relief effort? What contact have you had? At the moment we are really | :08:30. | :08:38. | |
trying to have contact with some of our friends whose families are | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
affected directly. We are using everything we can with the use of | :08:43. | :08:51. | |
technology to help them and at least have news about their relatives back | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
home. Have you managed to contact them all? At the moment we still | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
have families who have not heard anything so it really worries them. | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
What can you do and what can others do to halt? At the moment, just like | :09:13. | :09:21. | |
we said earlier on, we had a meeting to launch a campaign for donations | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
to our affected Filipinos so we have set collection points for | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
donations, either clothes, food or any financial aid whatsoever that | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
they think can help. We are trying to consolidate efforts with other | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
associations in Birmingham. It is still early days but getting that | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
aid to the Philippines is crucial. What reaction have you had from | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
people in Birmingham? I agree with you that it is crucial to have these | :10:00. | :10:08. | |
donations. We are doing everything to make sure we will be able to send | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
these donations as early as next week, that is why we are contacting | :10:13. | :10:20. | |
air forwarders so we can send them to the Philippines straightaway. | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
A court's heard that a Coventry businessman murdered a family of | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
four as an act of revenge. The prosecution's been outlining its | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
case against 55`year`old Anxiang Du. He denies stabbing to death Jifeng | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
Ding, his wife and two daughters at their home in Northamptonshire in | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
May 2011. The family were stabbed a total of 51 times. The prosecution | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
claim it was because of a ten year business dispute. | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
Shropshire MP Mark Pritchard will not face investigation by the | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
organisation which regulates MPs' behaviour. It says there's no | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
evidence he breached parliamentary rules. Last week the Daily Telegraph | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
reported the Conservative MP for the Wrekin had agreed to use his | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
political contacts in Albania in return for substantial fees. Mr | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
Pritchard said he'd done nothing wrong and the article was "hurtful | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
and malicious". England's football team has been | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
forced to switch training away from the National Football Centre near | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
Burton`on`Trent. A number of visitors came down with stomach | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
bugs. It's thought the virus was brought to St George's Park by a | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
guest. The England side will now travel to Hertfordshire to prepare | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
for this week's friendlies against Chile and Germany. | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
A 20`year`old high on drink and drugs has been jailed for life for | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
starting a fire which killed a Walsall pensioner. Aiden Elmore set | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
fire to a wheelie bin which was blocking the exit to maisonettes in | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
Short Heath. He was seen on CCTV setting fire to other wheelie bins | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
nearby. Several people in the flats jumped to safety, but 68`year`old | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
Victor Moore became trapped and died. | :11:53. | :12:01. | |
A sleek and stylish virtual sports car was unveiled today to showcase | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
the talents of Black Country manufacturing. 70% of the parts that | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
make up the Bullet are manufactured by the Black Country's 2,000 | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
automotive suppliers. But the car itself will never actually take to | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
the road. Here's our business correspondent Peter Plisner to | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
explain. The advanced engineering show at the | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
National exhibition Centre today, showing off what is great about | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
Great Britain when it comes to high`tech manufacturing and doing | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
the same on a smaller scale, manufacturers from the Black | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
Country. This is what they are proud of, the Black Country bullet a | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
virtual car with parts made in the Black Country. One of the Black | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
Country 's many claims to fame is it produced the anchor and chain for | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
the Titanic at the time the world 's largest cruise ship. Nowadays things | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
are much more high`tech. Parts for the bus also made in the Black | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
Country. The bullet will only ever be a computer`generated image and | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
when linked to a dedicated website it effectively provides an extensive | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
directory of Black Country suppliers, but if it were to be | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
built, wheels like this are already made in West Bromwich. Parts run the | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
engine might come from Walsall and Wednesbury. Some of the interior | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
fixtures may come from a phone in Tipton. It is hugely important | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
showcase the opportunities that are here in the Black Country. Perhaps | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
we haven't been as good in the past in promoting ourselves. More | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
promotion can only be good for manufacturers like this one. Thereon | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
lots of parts we make for different areas of a car. Back at the show and | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
it is a similar message for motor racing driver Matt Neal. He is | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
involved in a Black Country `based alloy wheel manufacturing. If we can | :14:06. | :14:14. | |
grow it, it is working as a team, getting it bigger and better and it | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
is more attractive to other buyers. Buyers like judge when Land Rover | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
are becoming increasingly important. This is a time`lapse film of its | :14:25. | :14:37. | |
factory. Our top story tonight: The true cost | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
of stolen livestock, with lamb prices on the up, sheep rustling is | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
now big business. Your detailed weather forecast to | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
come shortly with Rebecca. Also in tonight's programme: Coping | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
with tragedy ` how the money you give helps young children come to | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
terms with losing a loved one. And the Olympic legacy in action ` | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
how handball's taking off after being a big hit at London 2012. | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
If you have a story you think we should be covering on Midlands | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
Today, we'd like to hear from you. You can call us or send an email. We | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
are also on Facebook or you can tweet us. | :15:14. | :15:24. | |
Deborah McAndrew is perhaps best known to audiences as Coronation | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
Street's Angie Freeman. She made regular appearances in the show | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
throughout the 1990s. But now the former soap star lives in North | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
Staffordshire where her new theatre company is looking at life in the | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
raw in the Potteries. Our Staffordshire reporter Liz Copper | :15:41. | :15:51. | |
was at rehearsals. Set in Stoke and being stage in | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
Stoke, Ugly Duck is the first play being performed by the newly formed | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
clay body theatre. It is written and produced by Deborah McAndrew. She | :16:02. | :16:10. | |
made her name in Coronation Street but these days Deborah McAndrew | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
lives and works in North Staffordshire. It is an interesting | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
and complicated place, not like anywhere else and it has this | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
wonderful cultural and industrial and creative heritage. As an artist | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
of a kind, a theatre maker, you want to be linked into that. The play | :16:30. | :16:40. | |
tells the story of an unemployed Stoke bloke who takes a job as an | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
artist model. The play is being performed here at the School of Art. | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
In its day this was the place where some of the leading ceramic artists | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
of the 20th century trained, so this building is steeped in artistic | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
creativity. It is that creativity that this new company hopes will | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
bring wider benefits to Burslem. To feel what it is like and put that in | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
the play is really interesting. We hope this will do some good around | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
here and to be part of that, terrific. Ugly duck premiers | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
tomorrow before a short run at the Mac in Birmingham. This company | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
hopes to inspire its audiences with its perspective of the potteries. | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
The martial arts have always been big in this region. And today | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
Walsall was unveiled as the focal point of British judo. The new | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
centre of excellence at the University of Wolverhampton is | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
designed to create the Olympic and Paralympic Champions of the future. | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
Ian Winter reports. Like father, like son. Judo is in | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
the blood of the Stewart family. Dennis won a bronze medal at the | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
Seoul Olympics and now Max, his son, has set his sights on Rio. Does Max | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
have the potential to be our first Olympic gold medallist? I like to | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
think I have. It is a hajj challenge and I have a lot of work to do. | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
Everything he needs is on`site, he has the best coaches, technical | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
support and with the backing of the University, it is all in one. You | :18:27. | :18:36. | |
dad got bronze, is that incentive? Yes, I always want to beat him! Max | :18:37. | :18:45. | |
is one of 20 judo players selected. Now the Walsall campus of the | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
University of Wolverhampton is the perfect training venue to get the | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
most from their lottery funding. This centre has cost ?1 million. It | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
is state`of`the`art and its goal is to produce Britain's first judo | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
Olympic champion. Last summer the Australian judo team used also as | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
its base for London 2012. They failed to win a medal unlike Team GB | :19:10. | :19:17. | |
who won silver and bronze. I have known some of these guys for many | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
years and it feels right that now is the time we are going forward and | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
going on for bigger and better things. Next year the world judo | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
Championships take place in Siberia, the perfect place for British judo | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
to come in from the cold with a boost from this new centre of | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
excellence. At the London Olympics a surprise | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
hit among audiences was the fast and furious sport of handball. Our | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
reporter Kevin Reide has been to a newly formed handball club in | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
Coventry. It's among the finalists in the newcomer of the year category | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
in the West Midlands Community Sports Awards, which we're featuring | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
over the next few days. It was last year 's London Olympics | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
which inspired the formation of the Coventry handball club and at their | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
first meeting in September last year, there were just 12 players. | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
Now it has expanded immeasurably. Biella macro we have had 250 people | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
in our club this season. We have possibly a fourth team going into | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
development, a women's side. This weekend the men's first team `based | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
Nottingham. There was quite a rivalry between Nottingham and | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
Coventry. Coventry, this is their second game of in this league and | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
they are seen as the new kids on the block. Coventry got off to a good | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
start but by half`time, they were trailing. We have had a problem with | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
a player sent off. We are not taking advantage of our shots. A valiant | :21:01. | :21:10. | |
second`half fightback was not enough and Coventry lost but when not too | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
downhearted. They are probably one of the best teams in the Midlands at | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
the moment. We have proved ourselves. We are a new team and | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
there was massive potential in these lads. At least they know they are | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
recognised as a growing force in the game. Last week they were awarded | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
the Best Newcomer award securing their place in the Midlands final on | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
December four. It's Children in Need this Friday | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
and all this week we're looking at some of the projects which have | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
benefited from the money you give. The Time For You project is run by | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
the charity Relate in Coventry. It helps children who've lost a loved | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
one come to terms with their grief. Joan Cummins has been finding out | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
more. Every 22 minutes a child in this country will experience | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
bereavement for the first time in their lives. Dealing with loss is | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
something many struggle with but as a child it can feel like the end of | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
their wild. You realise you cannot see them again. In Coventry a chore | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
during a neat project brings together youngsters of all ages and | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
backgrounds who all know exactly what it is like to lose someone | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
close to them. This is my little sister and she died on the 5th of | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
March this year. Youngsters are offered a safe environment to create | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
memory projects that allowed them to think about the person who has died. | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
No one judges if anyone cries and children are encouraged to smile at | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
the memories of the person who is never longer around. It starts to | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
get easier but there are days where it is like, oh, my God. I wish it | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
was the other way round, that they were still here. If you have lost | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
somebody, you hang on to the memories, the important things that | :23:15. | :23:24. | |
matters. It helps because it cheers me up. It clears memories sometimes. | :23:25. | :23:35. | |
The time for you project aims to help young people come to terms with | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
life's hardest lesson and give them back some control over the changes | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
happening around them. In a simple ceremony, children attach memory `` | :23:47. | :23:58. | |
memories to balloons to remind them they will never forget. | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
How the money you raise makes a difference. And the One Show | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
Children in Need Rickshaw is in the West Midlands this evening Five | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
youngsters who have been helped by the charity are taking it in turns | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
to ride 700 miles from Northern Ireland to London. Their first stop | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
today was Holyhead Primary School in Wednesbury. Presenters Alex Jones | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
and Matt Baker are with them. Just to see how all the members are | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
developing, they have spent so long in their life focusing on the | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
challenges they have and suddenly they refocus that effort into | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
something different. They are like an army. | :24:41. | :24:42. | |
And The One Show will be broadcast live from The Bullring straight | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
after our programme at seven o'clock. If you want to fundraise, | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
or make your own donation, there's a lot more information online, on | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
Facebook and there's even a Pudsey app. We'll be giving out a | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
phone`line number later in the week. Now the weather forecast. We got | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
away with a largely frost free autumn but is that about to change? | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
It is and it will get a lot colder. A beautiful day today, clear skies, | :25:12. | :25:19. | |
sunny spells. This was the scene at Broadway Tower in the Cotswolds. A | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
beautiful, stunning day. But that beautiful weather doesn't mean | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
things are going to turn chilly tonight. We are expecting the first | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
widespread frost of the year and it is a frosty start tomorrow, but that | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
doesn't mean it will be another dry and bright day. Once that clears it | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
does promise to be quite pleasant. Clear skies tonight and already | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
temperatures falling down to five or six degrees. We have like winds as | :25:53. | :26:00. | |
well so that will mean temperatures drop away rather rapidly. Down to | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
zero or minus two degrees in rule spots. Towns and cities will do | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
better than that overnight. We start tomorrow with that frost about. Also | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
rather foggy. But the sun will burn through that and it will be | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
pleasant. Good sunny spells to come but then it. Two CROWD | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
As we move into the afternoon. Temperatures getting up to 10 | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
Celsius. That weather system will start to move in tomorrow night. | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
Light, patchy rain to come. With that comes some wind. Even though | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
there were clear skies in the south, it will help to keep | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
temperatures above freezing. Temperatures a little milder | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
tomorrow night. Thursday does promise to be a pleasant day, we | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
have northerly winds circuit will feel colder and we have more cloud | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
to come on Friday but with that high pressure in control, it will stay | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
settled. Tonight's headlines from the BBC: | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
Desperation and anger in the Philippines ` four days after | :27:13. | :27:14. | |
Typhoon Haiyen hit, millions are still without food or shelter. | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
Typhoon The energy company EDF becomes the | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
latest to raise prices, but the hike's a lot less than its rivals. | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
The true cost of stolen livestock, with lamb prices on the up sheep | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
rustling is now big business And how the growing car components industry | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
is bringing new jobs to the Black Country. | :27:34. | :27:39. | |
That was the Midlands Today. I'll be back at ten o'clock. Have a great | :27:40. | :27:41. | |
evening. Goodbye. | :27:42. | :27:43. |
