London. That is all | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Albion take on near neighbours Aston Villa. Hello and welcome to Midlands | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Today. The headlines tonight: The stresses of top level sport that | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
ultimately drove Warwickshire's Jonathan Trott to pull out of the | :00:10. | :00:18. | |
Ashes tour. I am sure Trotty will come home, he has a lovely family | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
behind him, he will bounce back. We'll be finding out just how tough | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
it is out in the middle in Test cricket and the psychological | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
pressure on players. Also tonight, why recruiting experienced social | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
workers is proving so hard in our biggest towns and cities. It is | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
about skills, passion and knowledge and wanting to make the difference. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
Just days to go ` if you bought a lottery ticket in May, you could | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
have won a massive ?12 million but time is running out to make that | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
claim. Monday night is Derby night. And the | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
start of a new week with High pressure in control but what's that | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
going to mean for us in terms of weather. I'll have all the details | :01:09. | :01:17. | |
for you later. Good evening. Warwickshire cricketer | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Jonathon Trott is back home tonight after dramatically quitting the | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
Ashes test series in Australia. His club say they'll give him their full | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
support as he battles with a long standing stress condition believed | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
to be linked to depression. The England batsman has faced pressure | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
on the pitch and off it with runs hard to come by and the Australians | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
accusing him of being "poor and weak". Here's Giles Latcham. | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
Out for just nine and out of the Ashes. Warwickshire batsman Jonathan | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
Trott's long walk to the pavilion was swiftly followed by a long | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
flight home from Australia, suffering we're told from a | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
stress`related condition. The stakes are high. A shocking development for | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
a neighbour back in Birmingham, and Warwickshire hero of the '80s and | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
'90s. Paul Smith bowled as well as faced fast deliveries and recognises | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
the stress and pressure that come with top flight cricket. It is a | :02:12. | :02:20. | |
very very stressful environment. The key is to identify if and what the | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
problem is and that are a lot of people with a lots of time for him. | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
The supporters and fans will see if and when. Even as England retained | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
the Ashes over the summer Trott appeared to struggle for form and | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
was asked last month ahead of the tour about suggestions the Aussies | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
had got inside his head. The surprising thing is, Australia are | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
confident but they lost the Ashes series and are making comments | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
already. That is the Australian way. The director of cricket says | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Jonathan Trott's health and well`being is the utmost priority. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
He calls him an outstanding cricketer and says over the next few | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
weeks, the squad will give him and his family there utmost support. I | :03:11. | :03:22. | |
suffered similar things that players go through in their careers but I am | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
sure Trotty will come home, he has a lovely family behind him and get | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
help and he will bounce back in the character we do. Trott says he needs | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
time away from international cricket, time to spend with his | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
young family and time it may be that heals. Joining us now is sports | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
psychologist Professor Andy Lane from the University of | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
Wolverhampton. Good evening to you. It is quite a shock. It is not all | :03:51. | :04:00. | |
glitz and glamour. It is a shock but not unsurprising. Sportsmen are | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
under tremendous pressure and you have to remember that they are | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
superbly talented performers but not necessarily always good at managing | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
the stresses that come with it. You have someone who can cope on the | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
pitch most of the time but going on tour, it is stress is on and off the | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
pitch all of that time and that puts someone in the pressure cooker. You | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
cannot get away from it. I heard talk about the support services and | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
while we might have expected them to fix it, if it is a sore knee and | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
they went ten injured, we would not be thinking anything worse, we would | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
expect that but someone who is sensitive to this barracking and the | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
pressure cooker and has decided the best thing to do at the moment is | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
remove themselves from the situation which is the best coping strategy. | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
It is a team game but it is individual as well. It is bombarded | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
by scores so you know exactly what job batting average is, you're | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
fielding rate so you cannot escape. Those figures come at you all of the | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
cart dashed all of the time. It puts pressure on you. How should it be | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
managed now? He has come home I suspect because that is his best way | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
of coping. The best thing is to leave him to his family and support | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
away from cricket where he is not being reminded of what went on in | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
the tour. I suspect he has strategies to help him overcome that | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
on his own. Marcus to help him overcome that on his own. Marcus | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
Agius Gothic have the same thing and did not return. Will he get | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
heatedly. It is a decision he will come to. Gothic. | :06:03. | :06:18. | |
Thank you for much. We wish Jonathan Trott all the best. Coming up later | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
in the programme: a fresh start after jail as former inmates try to | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
build a future by giving themselves somewhere to live. Birmingham should | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
find out within weeks if its children's services are to be taken | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
over after damning reports by Government inspectors. Part of the | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
problem is recruiting and retaining experienced social workers, | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
something shared by other urban authorities. Birmingham should have | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
659 social workers dealing with children but 131 posts can't be | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
filled. Walsall faces recruiting problems too. It has 123 social | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
workers dealing with children but another 22 are needed. Cath Mackie | :06:52. | :07:04. | |
has this report. It's Kirsty Naylor's first day at | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
work in Walsall Borough Council's childrens' services department. It | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
will be daunting and scary but I am ready. I am excited for the | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
challenge. She's meeting other social workers, who've turned up to | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
a recruitment morning at the council house. 22 jobs are on offer. The | :07:24. | :07:33. | |
changes going on, the support in place tells me it is a good place to | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
work. They are looking at the children and investing in the | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
children as well as staff development. But would they stay? | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
Many big authorities have problems retaining social workers ` overwork | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
and under`resourcing are frequent complaints. The results in nearby | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
Birmingham for example have been catastrophic. Children like Khyra | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
Ishak and Keanu Williams died, it was said because they were | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
"invisible" to the authorities. But Walsall too has had its fair share | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
of bad headlines. Back in June 2012 Ofsted rated its children's services | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
as inadequate. But a year later, things had improved and the rating | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
it was given was adequate. And things, we are told, are continuing | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
to improve." We are not complacent, we have a long way to go because we | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
want to be an outstanding service and that is what we are aiming for. | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
The people here were told it didn't matter if they'd worked for | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Birmingham children's services but it's clearly an issue for some. To | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
Birmingham, probably not. I will wait to see what happens. I would be | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
happier in Walsall because I have the support I need. Would you | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
consider Brooke `` Birmingham? I put in application and so, yes. A lot of | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
the recent stuff would have put me off applying in future until things | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
have improved. Today's event was oversubscribed perhaps a sign of | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
growing confidence but they're bracing themselves now for a visit | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
from Government inspectors next month. Police have issued a fresh | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
appeal for information about the murder of a Coventry toddler five | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
weeks ago. Two`year old Khaleel Hussain | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
suffered a fatal head injury the day after this picture was taken. A man | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
and woman arrested are on police bail. Detectives want anybody who | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
may have seen Khaleel in the Ball Hill area of the city to get in | :09:20. | :09:28. | |
touch. We know he passed away at two years | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
of age, we are trying to piece together his short life and we are | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
appealing for members of the community to come forward if they | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
know what happened, prior to his death or in his short life with us. | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
Opponents to high speed rail from across the Midlands have been | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
protesting outside the Houses of Parliament. They say the HS2 line | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
line will be a waste of money and will have a negative impact on the | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
environment. Details of the first phase of the line between London and | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
Birmingham have been published today. We are here to stop this | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
madness, ?50 billion on a row way line that nobody really needs. Bad | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
policies eventually fail. This is so bad, it will fall over. A | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
19`year`old man from Cheltenham has died after his car crashed into a | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
pub. Six men were in the Citroen which careered off the road in the | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
village of Blythburgh in Suffolk on Saturday. Christopher Doran, from | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
Cheltenham, and another teenager died at the scene. The other men are | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
all said to be in a stable condition in hospital. | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
The West Midlands Fire Service training base in Smethwick could be | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
sold or rented out. The fire and rescue authority is discussing the | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
proposal as well as plans to rebuild fire stations in Aston, Kings | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
Norton, Coventry and Bickenhill. In future firefighters training will | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
take place at their individual stations. | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
A group of former prisoners have set up their own construction business | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
to tackle a shortage of homes for ex`offenders. Up to a dozen | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
properties in North Staffordshire are being refurbished, ready to | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
house offenders being released into the community next year. They'll be | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
monitored on a daily basis by the authorities. Ben Godfrey reports. | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
Pete is out of prison on licence. Plastering skills he picked up | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
inside are being used to build a home in Stoke`on`Trent for others | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
waiting to be released. It gives people an opportunity to see what | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
ex`offenders are doing. It's an opportunity to learn more skills. We | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
have been asked not to identify the location but the authorities will | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
monitor the ex`offenders who will live here on a daily basis. A | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
Christian charity is supporting these ex`offenders and they get paid | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
around ?50 a day for their work. They want to spruce up a dozen homes | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
in Staffordshire, with the help of local letting agents and building | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
contractors. There is a massive heart in Stoke`on`Trent to help | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
people but they are not sure how. We will help, we don't mind doing that | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
but we need support. A lot of it is lack of understanding. Some of these | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
lads have had a bad upbringing or made a mistake, we all make | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
mistakes. Housing advice for prisoners is limited, according to | :12:18. | :12:18. | |
The Prison Reform Trust. There aren't enough rooms or houses | :12:19. | :12:39. | |
to house people anyway never mind prisoners. The prisoner comes out | :12:40. | :12:48. | |
with ?46. That is it. I was in jail for 7.5 years. I had support because | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
I'm gauged in the support around me. For ex`prisoners like Pete, this | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
work is supposed to be another step towards rehabilitation. But for a | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
project eager to build community relations, it's chosen to keep its | :13:00. | :13:09. | |
location closely guarded. This is our top story tonight. The stresses | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
of top level sport that ultimately drove Jonathan Trott to pull out of | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
the Ashes tour and return home to Birmingham. Your detailed weather | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
forecast to come shortly ` also in tonight's programme a passion for | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
two wheels that's lasted for 30 years ` our search for the Midlands | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
unsung sporting hero. And we're live at the Hawthorns as | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
Albion and Villa go head to head ` who'll come out on top? | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
If you have a story you think we should be covering on Midlands | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
Today, we'd like to hear from you. You can call us or send an e`mail. | :13:44. | :14:00. | |
Cast your mind back to Friday May 31st of this year? Did you buy a | :14:01. | :14:09. | |
lottery ticket? And, if so, have you checked it very very carefully. | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
Especially if you bought it in the Ladywood area of Birmingham, close | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
to the city centre. Because someone has won the 12 million pound | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
Euromillion Raffle jackpot and not claimed it. Now time is running out. | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
Sarah Falkland is in Ladywood for us tonight. So when is the deadline? | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
The deadline is 11pm Wednesday night after that if not claimed all the | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
money goes to good causes. Just to try and jog peoples memories, | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
Camelot came up with a of stunt involving a countdown clock. | :14:43. | :14:52. | |
Five, four, three, two. And they're off ` spreading the word round | :14:53. | :15:03. | |
Ladywood that time is running out. The winning ticket for a million | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
pounds every month for a year was bought somewhere near here on Friday | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
May 31st. They don't deserve to win it if they are not claiming it. If | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
you buy a ticket, you should put it away. If I won that money, I want my | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
passport and I am off. So where can the ticket have got to? Got to hope | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
it didn't end up in the washing or out with the rubbish? People have | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
busy lives and do not check straightaway. Some people have a | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
stack of tickets in a jewel and need a gentle reminder to check them. | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
There have been instances of people finding tickets in glove box of cars | :15:48. | :15:56. | |
and a pair of shorts. Ladywood is a deprived area, the numbers on | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
benefits is three times the national average. The average home is | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
?115,000. The winner could buy a whole street of homes around here or | :16:07. | :16:16. | |
opt for one in the country. Brock Hamp `` Brockhampton house on the | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
Herefordshire/Worcestershire is up for three million? The jackpot would | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
buy you over 100 new Range Rovers. So what would you do with ?12 | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
million? I would never be broke again. I would move from around | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
here. I am happy as I am! I don't need money to make me happy. So | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
Sarah we know the ticket was bought in Ladywood but do we know exactly | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
which outlet sold that extremely valuable bit of paper? Before that, | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
let me remind you of what the number is... It might have been sold right | :16:50. | :17:03. | |
here in this Ladywood supermarket. It could be your shop that sold the | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
winning ticket. Yes, it could be one of our shops. I would be very happy | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
because it would be nice to see one of the locals when the money. What | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
have people said to you? People are panicking, running around, have they | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
left my ticket here, checking the CCTV. I have not checked the CCTV. | :17:28. | :17:36. | |
People are looking all over the place. I have checked their tickets. | :17:37. | :17:45. | |
Who would you like to see women? Somebody in Ladywood. And it would | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
be nice to see somebody in Ladywood. They need it. And what | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
would you do with ?12 million? It would be a nightmare for me. I would | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
not want to know `` I would not know what to do. I could help you. I | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
reminder of the number. The deadline to claim your ?12 million is 11pm on | :18:14. | :18:24. | |
Wednesday. Check your pocket! Tonight is Derby night in the | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
Premier league and that means a full house at the Hawthorns to watch West | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
Bromwich Albion play Aston Villa. Ian Winter is at the ground right | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
now. You can barely squeeze a wafer thin | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
mint between them this season. 14 points apiece. The referee has been | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
in the spotlight this weekend, this afternoon I went to meet a man who | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
is keeping a close eye on the performance of match officials. My | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
very own private tutorial with an expert in football statistics. At | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
the University of Wolverhampton Professor Alan Nevill has just | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
signed a three`year contract with the governing body of Professional | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
Match Officials to analyse the mistakes made by referees. The most | :19:05. | :19:14. | |
recent research is fascinating providing compelling evidence that | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
referees are far less likely now to make decisions which favour the home | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
team. Now that might surprise a few Albion fans, who couldn't believe it | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
when Chelsea got a controversial late penalty a couple of weeks ago. | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
And it might also surprise a few Villa fans too after they were | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
denied a clear penalty at Chelsea back in August. Our referees biased | :19:33. | :19:42. | |
in favour of home teams? No. They might favour the home team | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
subconsciously but the word bias is wrong. I think it is just how it | :19:47. | :19:58. | |
happens at the time. It will even itself out. They have a difficult | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
job. I have never said or LAN bastide referee. I try to support | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
the guys. Had you solve the problem? He has been a revelation. He is in | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
among the goals this year. My defenders need to be on their toes. | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
Back in January, Albion fought back to earn a 2`2 draw nowonly goal | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
difference separates them from Aston Villa. And this evening back at the | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
University Professor Nevill will be watching like a hawk to analyse the | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
referee's performance. It's been a funny old season for Christian | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
Benteke. I don't think he's scored now for five games, that must be | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
worrying for Villa? Yes, slight worry. He scored 23 goals last | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
season but he struggled to recapture his form this time round. He has | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
been hampered by a hip injury but his last goal for the Villa came | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
against Newcastle. He has not scored in five games. But Villa need his | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
goals and the big Belgian striker will be aware of that and desperate | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
to repeat the trick he produced against the Albion in January of | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
this year. Not least with it being the World Cup season. Meanwhile West | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
Brom are very fortunate to have two top keepers at the club? Albion are | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
very fortunate to have such fine goalkeepers. He grabbed is | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
opportunity with both hands since injury to Ben Foster. Foster is | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
making good progress in rehabilitation and when he is fit | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
again, that really is a lovely problem for the head coach to have, | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
to outstanding goalkeepers and many would love to see Ben Foster in the | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
England World Cup squad for Brazil in the summer. Villa's away form is | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
slightly better than Albion's home form. The bookies say Albion will | :21:55. | :22:03. | |
win. I think it will be a 3`3 draw. Staying with sport and now the | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
search for those dedicated individuals who keep grassroots | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
sport alive. This year's BBC Midlands Sports Unsung Hero is down | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
to the final five nominees and we'll be telling you about them this week. | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
Tonight, cycling coach Graham Watkins. Laura May McMullan caught | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
up with him track`side in Shropshire. | :22:19. | :22:28. | |
Everybody all right! Is it getting IC? Graham Watkins, affectionately | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
known as George has a passion for pedal power. He's helped Mid | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
Shropshire Wheelers for nearly 30 years, encouraging hundreds to take | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
up the sport. The youngsters are enjoying it. That is the way I | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
planned it 20 years ago. It has taken 20 years but we are getting | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
there. George helped to get this cycle track built in Shrewsbury. It | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
has been a fantastic facility, the membership has grown to just under | :23:08. | :23:16. | |
400 from below 200. He is behind`the`scenes, he does it | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
quietly, strumming the forest for the cycle cross track, everything. | :23:21. | :23:28. | |
He is here all of the time. Luke Grivell`Mellor is about to go | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
professional and he has a lot to thank George for. He has always been | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
there running coaching sessions, a great help to me, sports village in | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
the evenings, much safer than the road. In primary school, the first | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
session I went to, George was running it. He is a role model. He | :23:49. | :23:56. | |
puts more effort and time in the most other coaches. He is always | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
there to help you if you are stuck. I will have a lap with them. He fits | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
cycling around a full`time job as a gash `` gas engineer. With the | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
club's GoRide cycling scheme, he hopes to keep the flame alive for | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
future generations. And we'll be hearing from more of the finalists | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
throughout the week. Well, it's been dry but fairly cold today. Shefali's | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
here to tell us how's the forecast looking. Dry and cold sums up this | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
week. High pressure is keeping it that way. Things are settled but | :24:37. | :24:43. | |
because of the high pressure, it will be weakened. We have largely | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
clear skies, the temperatures will be dropping as well in the night. | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
The air mass is going to make the biggest impression of all, it is | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
drawing in milder air as the winds circulate. So, apart from the try | :25:00. | :25:09. | |
and cold conditions, overnight frost and Fog and a mild spell developing | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
by mid week. Wednesday and Thursday in particular. Elements of what I | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
mentioned, a frost and Fog. Initially clear skies with | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
temperatures dropping quite sharply to `3 in the countryside or freezing | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
in towns and cities. Later in the night, the cloud will come in but | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
under clear skies we concede dense patches of fog, quite stubborn | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
developing in the morning. A combination of cloud and stubborn | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
patches of fog that will take temperatures back to two Celsius but | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
highs of between five and seven Celsius. A dry day, not bad but | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
quite chilly. Later on, if you spot of rain developing because of the | :26:01. | :26:08. | |
weakened weather front. This brings in more cloud and further spots of | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
rain during the night. The cloud and rain will hold temperatures above | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
freezing to about two or four Celsius. We will narrowly escaped a | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
frost overnight. More of the clouds on Wednesday and Thursday, in spite | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
of the temperatures rising to 10 Celsius in the south of the region, | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
it will be largely dry but dull and showers on Friday but dry by the | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
weekend. The headlines, a couple suspected of holding three women as | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
slaves are names, former far left activists. Payday loan companies | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
face a cap on fees and interest. Jonathan Trott is thought to be home | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
in Birmingham after a shock departure from the Ashes tour. And | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
why recruiting experienced social workers is proving hard in our towns | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
and cities. An attempt to capture a grey seal in the River Severn near | :27:11. | :27:18. | |
Worcester has been put on hold. Mercia Inshore Search and Rescue | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
haven't been able to find Keith as she's been called, since searching | :27:22. | :27:31. | |
began on Friday. Anglers blame the seal for depleting fish stocks. We | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
are back at 10pm with the goals from the hawthorns. Remember, if you are | :27:38. | :27:45. | |
sitting on a lottery ticket, claim it sharpish! | :27:46. | :27:48. |
