Good afternoon. The former Guantanamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg | :00:10. | :00:13. | |

45`year`old Begg, from Hall Green in Birmingham, was arrested along with | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
three others on Tuesday. He's charged with providing terrorist | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
training and funding terrorhsm overseas. A 44`year`old wom`n, | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Gerrie Tahari from Sparkbrook, is charged with facilitating tdrrorism | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
overseas. Two other men arrdsted remain in police custody. A | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
demonstration against the arrests is being held this lunchtime ottside | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
the West Midlands Police headquarters. | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
There's been a further protdst in the city this morning against the | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
propsed closure of a local swimming baths. Tiverton Pool in Selly Oak is | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
is one of several earmarked for closure by the City Council as a | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
cost`cutting measure. Locals say it is a vital resource and if ht goes | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
it will have a devastating hmpact on the community. | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
A stained glass window belidved to have miraculously escaped unscathed | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
from the ruins of Coventry Cathedral and delivered to a small Icdlandic | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
town has been proven to be ` fraud. For decades it was thought the glass | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
had been stolen during the war and sold to the church in Iceland. Joel | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
Mapp reports. Before its destruction, Covdntry | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Cathedral had two types of stained glass ` Medieval and Victorhan. The | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Medieval windows were removdd before the Blitz and saved but the | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Victorian glass, well, many believe it was stolen and ended up hn | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
Iceland. Dr Jonathan Foyle hs chief executive of the World Monulents | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Fund Britain and he's come to Iceland to investigate. We heard | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
that because they haven't explained the history of the windows from | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
Coventry to London and one of the explanations is that it had been | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
stolen. As Hitler scrambled his bombers, some of the Cathedral's | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
stained glass was removed for safekeeping. It's believed that some | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
went missing, sold by an antiques dealer in London to an Icel`ndic | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
trader. But Jonathan's not convinced. I don't think, however, | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
they were from Coventry Cathedral. They were probably removed from many | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
different church buildings `nd I think the antique dealer probably | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
used the words Coventry Cathedral to sell them quicker. Coventry's | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
Victorian glass, then, wasn't stolen and smuggled to Iceland but simply | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
left in place and destroyed by the Luftwaffe. | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
And you can see more on The Great Glass Mystery on BBC One tolorrow | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
afternoon at 4.10pm. The Bromsgrove cyclist Jess Varnish | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
will be hoping to win a second medal at the World Championships hn | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
Colombia today. Varnish will compete in the semi`finals of the individual | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
sprint in Cali after a quarterfinal victory over her GB team`mate and | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
defending champion Becky Jales last night. She'll then have a third | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
chance at a medal in the Kidrin tomorrow but admits that evdnt will | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
be a very different experience. Kierin is like sort of a longer | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
lengthier sprint so with me just training for one lap and thd | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
individual sprint, it doesn't really have you in favour unless you're | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
sort of headstrong and clevdr, really. | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
Time to check on the weather now with Mel Coles. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
Good afternoon. It's been a fairly decent start to the day, perhaps | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
chilly for many places but some good spells of sunshine. As we hdad | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
through the afternoon, we'll see a little more cloud and have the risk | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
of one or two showers. The winds are light today. Temperatures rdaching | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
highs of around eight Celsits. This evening, most places will h`ng on to | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
a bit of cloud. One or two showers around. Northern areas may have some | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
rain from time to time. Temperatures overnight dropping to three or four | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
Celsius. Tomorrow it will bd wetter and windier. | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
That's all for now. I'll be back with all the day's football and | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
rugby results in our next btlletin at 6.05pm. | :03:57. | :04:09. | |
Hello there. The first day of March, and quite a wintry chill to | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
the first thing, but conditions have improved a lot, a lot of sunshine | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
have there, so the daffodils you can see behind me, a good sunny Saint | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
David's day across Wales. We will hold onto the sunshine for many | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
places. A fly in the ointment is showers across western areas, | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
developing through the afternoon. Across the south-east, particularly | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
East Anglia, a great start, that area of low pressure continuing to | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
push out into the North Sea. Quite a deal to be a generally, temperatures | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
slowly climbing, but the winds are light, pleasant in the sunshine A | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
