Good evening. The West Midlands could be the

:00:12.:00:17.

location for a new further dducation college to train engineers to build

:00:18.:00:21.

the planned high speed rail link. The BBC has learned that nine

:00:22.:00:24.

colleges are working togethdr on the proposal. But critics have condemned

:00:25.:00:27.

the college bid saying the line is a waste of money. Our politic`l

:00:28.:00:41.

reporter has the details. Now we can see more skills coming from

:00:42.:00:45.

Birmingham with a brand`new college to train the real workers who will

build and maintain HS2. Namd further education colleges in the area are

Staffordshire and five in Bhrmingham and Solihull. Here in the area, we

:01:05.:01:08.

can respond to the needs and we can deliver all that is required to get

:01:09.:01:12.

this fantastic development here in the city. A former site has been

:01:40.:01:46.

been earmarked as a hub for the project. It is thought therd will be

:01:47.:01:52.

a ?20 million budget for anx new colleague `` College. Speakhng on

:01:53.:01:56.

Sunday politics when campaigners that the idea is not realistic. It

:01:57.:02:04.

is weird to set up a project `` college for a specific projdct.

:02:05.:02:09.

Perhaps it is just to infludnce authorities not to go against HS2.

:02:10.:02:15.

We will learn more about thd college this month and the people who want

:02:16.:02:20.

to bring it to Birmingham s`y we are on the right track.

:02:21.:02:22.

The Labour MP for Birminghal Erdington has denied newspaper

:02:23.:02:25.

claims that he was linked to a campaign group promoting

:02:26.:02:27.

paedophilia, during the 1970's. The Daily Mail reported that Jack Dromey

:02:28.:02:30.

and his wife, the Labour deputy leader, Harriet Harman were

:02:31.:02:33.

prominent figures in the National Council for Civil Liberties when it

:02:34.:02:36.

was affiliated with the Paedophile Information Exchange. But speaking

:02:37.:02:39.

for the first time since thd reports appeared, Mr Dromey denied

:02:40.:02:41.

supporting paedophilia and described the paper's claims as a low moment

:02:42.:02:51.

in British journalism. These men were loathsome. The

:02:52.:02:57.

practices were reviled. Thehr organisation was despicable. I took

:02:58.:03:01.

them won and defeated them by a massive majority at the Anntal

:03:02.:03:06.

Conference when I was student of the National Council for Civil

:03:07.:03:08.

Liberties. I am a lifelong opponent of men who abuse children.

:03:09.:03:12.

A 70`year`old legend that a Warwickshire soldier's comp`ssion in

:03:13.:03:14.

the field of battle unwittingly led to World War II may not be true

:03:15.:03:18.

after all. Private Henry Tandey was serving on the Western Front in 1918

:03:19.:03:22.

when he took mercy on an injured German soldier ` believed to have

:03:23.:03:25.

been Adolf Hitler himself. But that claim is now being questiondd, as

:03:26.:03:30.

Satnam Rana reports: The legend of Henry Tandey having mercy on Hitler

:03:31.:03:34.

is well known in his home town of Leamington Spa..

:03:35.:03:45.

Hitler remembered being wounded on the western front amd remembered a

:03:46.:03:49.

British soldier pointing his gun at him and then deliberately not

:03:50.:03:52.

firing. In other words ` refusing to kill him. Much later on when Hitler

:03:53.:03:56.

was in power, he saw a photo of a painting of a british soldidr

:03:57.:03:59.

carrying a wounded British soldier when Hitler saw this he recognised

:04:00.:04:03.

the soldier doing the carryhng as the man who'd refused to kill him.

:04:04.:04:11.

The man in the painting was Private Henry Tandey and during the crisis

:04:12.:04:14.

talks leading up to the Second World War it is said that Hitler `sked

:04:15.:04:17.

British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain to pass on his thanks.

:04:18.:04:21.

Henry has always been labelled The Man Who didn't Shoot Hitler' but now

:04:22.:04:24.

a Warwickshire Historian saxs he's found the evidence to prove it never

:04:25.:04:32.

happened... Hitler was actu`lly on leave from the 25th to the 27th of

:04:33.:04:36.

September, the event where his life is spared is supposed to have

:04:37.:04:42.

happened on the 28th. But then it turned out that on the 17th he'd

:04:43.:04:45.

been transferred to another part of the line anyway so he would've been

:04:46.:04:48.

50 miles away. Chamberlain hs supposed to have telephoned Henry

:04:49.:04:51.

about Hitler's claims but even that is now in doubt. Henry Tanddy was in

:04:52.:04:59.

fact the most decorated Private Soldier of the First World War and

:05:00.:05:02.

David says that's the reason why we should remember him.

:05:03.:05:07.

And you can see the full story tomorrow night on Inside Out at

:05:08.:05:12.

:05:25.:05:26.

:05:42.:05:49.

in and temperatures will drop. I icy patches by dawn. Tomorrow gdts off

:05:50.:05:55.

:05:56.:06:00.

but brighter spells for the afternoon. Turning milder for next

are enjoying your evening on a nice warm sofa while it rains outside.

:06:14.:06:17.

Pretty heavy rain in parts of the country and for tomorrow morning,

:06:18.:06:21.

wrap up warmly, it will be a cheap upstart right across the country.

:06:22.:06:25.

This is where the rain is right now from Portsmouth to London across to

:06:26.:06:28.

the north-east and the east of the country and it will push out into

:06:29.:06:32.

the North Sea. Not all of the rain will clear away but it will be cold

:06:33.:06:41.

enough for some icy stretches across parts of Northern Ireland, the

:06:42.:06:43.

Northwest of England, too, but everywhere will have a chilly start.

:06:44.:06:47.

Not exclusively snow to higher ground, maybe to some lower land,

:06:48.:06:52.

too, but in the south-east, rain showers and pretty grey and

:06:53.:06:56.

unpleasant, but other parts will be enjoying some sunshine, but Swales,

:06:57.:07:01.

parts of Yorkshire. North-east Scotland looks like staying grey,

:07:02.:07:05.

wet and cold. Not so bad on Tuesday for the bulk of country but if it

:07:06.:07:09.

does rain, it will be in Cornwall and maybe Devon, but this rain could

:07:10.:07:14.

completely miss us and end up in France. On Tuesday, still into
