Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: it is a bit | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
like an all you can eat buffet. What we must do is persuade people that | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
you cannot consume more than they need to. We examine the state of our | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
NHS ` as one senior health lanager says we need to start treathng it | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
differently. And we go behind the front line ` with patients `nd staff | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
at A It is frustrating to staff who feel that every time thdy come | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
to work, their best work is being compromised. We'll be asking the | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
chairman of one of our NHS trusts about the symptoms and treatments of | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
a service under strain. Also tonight: Speed up High Speed 2. The | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
new boss of HS2 says he wants building work north of Birmhngham | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
brought forward. If at first you don't succeed try, try and try again | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
` after eight games in charge, West Brom's boss Pepe Mel gets a win And | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
have we started the week as we mean to go on? After such a glorhous | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
weekend, the effects of which are still evident, can it last? I'll | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
have more for you later. Good evening. A senior manager in | :01:09. | :01:27. | |
the NHS is warning patients they need to stop treating the hdalth | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
service as an "all you can dat buffet." Andy Donald is responsible | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
for commissioning health services across Stafford and Cannock ` and is | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
already facing up to a ?15 lillion deficit. His warning comes `s | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
hospitals throughout the West Midlands face being downgraded, with | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
more private sector involvelent in health care. So what is the future | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
looking like for the NHS? Otr health correspondent Michele Paduano has | :01:47. | :01:47. | |
been investigating. This care centre In Nuneaton's | :01:48. | :01:57. | |
George Eliot Hospital works to keep patients out of A E and ott of a | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
hospital bed. For Amanda King with an autistic son, spending wdeks in | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
hospital receiving anti`biotics is not an option. It upsets all the | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
routines, and being able to do this everyday, and then walk awax again, | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
it is better than being in hospital. The George Eliot Hospital is having | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
to change. It has already admitted that with cuts it can't copd | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
financially. It's having to lose 140 beds and is about to be takdn over | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
with the private sector plaxing a role. The Chief Executive hdre | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
believes a general hospital will survive. The site will be rdduced, | :02:34. | :02:44. | |
but we see this as being better in future, we may have social care | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
facilities, and it will become much more the health part, rather than a | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
district general hospital. With less money, the NHS is stretched. In | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
Cannock and Stafford, they have a ?15 million deficit. The warning | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
here is stark. Public attittdes have to change. The way the health | :02:59. | :03:09. | |
service is structured, it is like an all`you`can`eat buffet. What we have | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
to do is persuade people th`t they can not consume more than they need | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
to. And this analyst believds that like in A waiting lists across the | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
region are creaking, the 18`week target for treatment will f`ll | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
sometime soon. If the waiting list keeps on growing, the presstre will | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
be so big that they will not be ever to hold 18 weeks, and it is going to | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
preach. It is possible that that will happen this year. In | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Stoke`on`Trent, they are medting their radiotherapy targets, Cancer | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
patients here are unlikely to see major changes to hospital in patient | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
services soon, but a ?1.2 bhllion contract has been advertised to | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
manage all cancer services `cross Staffordshire for the next ten | :03:50. | :03:59. | |
years. There are likely to be more of these block contracts in future. | :04:00. | :04:09. | |
There are the macro the ide` is more streamlined services. Some see it as | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
privatisation. In future, chemotherapy patients may rdceive | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
treatment at home. The idea is that greater competition, bigger | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
contracts and doing work outside hospital will all drive down costs. | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
NHS cancer patients in Stokd were quite relaxed about the new cancer | :04:24. | :04:32. | |
contract. I have a good tre`tment with the NHS, and I feel like if | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
they can and it as good as that then that is OK. If they can plough | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
more money into it, it will be even better. As the NHS grapples with its | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
greatest financial challengd and a revolution takes place in hdalth | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
care, we are being warned that hospitals are only for the very sick | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
and more care has to happen elsewhere. | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
In the first week of March, 408 000 people visited A in hospitals | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
across England. That's the highest number this winter, 95% of patients | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
were seen within four hours. So what's the reality of life hn A E | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
for staff and patients? We spent a day at Birmingham's QE Hosphtal and | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Worcestershire Royal to find out. Ben Godfrey reports. | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
It's Friday night at the Worcestershire Royal Hospit`l | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
emergency unit ` and the corridors are heaving. Have you had any | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
painkillers? Dormston Cook hs waiting for a CT scan after | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
experiencing severe headachds. It is not great. I have had conversations | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
with a few people here. There is no dignity in corridors. Last week | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
alone, 48 patients were waiting on trollies here for between four and | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
12 hours. Patients are coming into the pub department from GPs, and we | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
are not being able to move patients through into the hospital bdds are | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
required. There have been albulances queuing outside. An overcrowded A | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
and E is also affecting staff morale. It becomes very frustrating | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
for staff, who feel that thd care they give, despite their best | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
efforts, it's always been, Like I have been waiting but only ten | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
years. `` ten minutes. Some say A and E is fast becoming a | :06:20. | :06:41. | |
lottery of care. In Birmingham, we spent five hours on friday `fternoon | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
at the Queen Elizabeth Hosphtal A E has only been open four ydars | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
There are 16 large bays for patients ` and they've increased senhor | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
staffing levels by 20 per cdnt. On one night last week, they s`w 3 | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
patients in a single hour when 6 is the norm. Friday is considerably | :06:55. | :07:03. | |
quieter. We are seeing patidnts from GPs and other hospitals, and they | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
are presented because they cannot get access to primary health care. | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Beryl Gaunt fell over at hole and has a fractured pelvis. I al fed up, | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
because I cannot move. I cannot move my legs at the moment. Last week, | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
the QE beat the Government target of seeing 95 per cent of patients | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
within four hours. They all seem perfectly normal. Jonathan Forber's | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
discovered the 20kg weight he dropped on his foot at the gym | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
hasn't cracked any bones. I came in one in the morning, and the average | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
waiting time was three or four hours. I got seen within 40 minutes. | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
It's clear that some A are struggling to meet excessivd demand. | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
These are the pictures that no one wants to see. As a patient, where | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
are you heading, a cubicle or the corridor? I'm joined now by Lord | :07:52. | :08:06. | |
Hunt of Kings Heath. Thank xou for joining us. We saw two reports which | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
highlight the financial pressure and the increasing number of people | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
turning up to AMD. Is that picture you recognise? I have been talking | :08:17. | :08:28. | |
about twin pressures. There are many different illnesses, but also, the | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
pressure of resources, and loney getting tighter and tighter. | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
Something has to give if we are going to meet the tremendous demand | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
that are being placed upon ts at the moment. What will give? What was | :08:41. | :08:50. | |
described as the options? The key thing we have to do is to change the | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
way the house `` NHS is run. We have older people coming into our | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
hospital who do not need to be there, but once they get adlitted to | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
hospital, they often stay too long. What we need to do is to sed much | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
greater investment in community care and primary care, so hospit`ls go | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
back to places where people get acute care, but they do not get | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
stuck for days, because there is not all provision in the communhty. Big | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
changes in the NHS itself. But what about the suggestion from Andy | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
Donald where some patients `re being treating it as an all you c`n eat | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
but I? Taking more they need? I am not sure that I agree with that If | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
you go round and meet the p`tients, you would find that they had | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
illnesses that needed to be treated. I think it is not a problem that we | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
need to reshape the way we run our services. At the moment, AMD | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
departments `` A departments are open 24 hours a day, and other bits | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
of the service are not. Bec`use of that, too many people are coming | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
through the doors of A, and once they get there, they tend to be | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
admitted into hospital. That is something we have to change. We have | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
two have much more accessible primary care, safe and see xour GP | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
is more hours of the day. Mtch better community provisions, so that | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
if you are a older person, xou do not need to be treated in hospital, | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
but you can get back care. The problem at the moment is thd acute | :10:26. | :10:35. | |
problems, that the hospital is expected to deal with all of the | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
problems. Coming up later in the programme. A | :10:38. | :10:47. | |
revolution in infection detdction ` using high powered computers and DNA | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
analysis. Building work on the northern section of the ?50bn | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
high`speed rail project shotld be accelerated, the chairman of HS | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
said today. Sir David Higgins said the initial part of the project | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
should run from London to Crewe by 2027, instead of merely reaching | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
Birmingham by 2026. Sir Davhd said the second phase of HS2 could then | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
be completed by 2030 instead of 2033. Our transport correspondent | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
Peter Plisner is at Curzon Street in Birmingham, which would be the site | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
of the main station for High Speed Two. Peter ` what's the thinking | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
behind this idea? This was published earlier today. It | :11:15. | :11:39. | |
is about reducing the cost. The heart should be 43 miles north at | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
Crewe. Does that leave Birmhngham being bypassed? I spoke to said | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
David Higgins. No. Birmingh`m will be the operation will centrd of the | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
High Speed 2 network. It is geographically centred round | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
Birmingham. One Stoke MP who has been campaigning for a stathon there | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
accuses David Higgins of ignoring the city's need for a station. | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
Ignored or not, these are only proposals, and they will nedd to be | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
consulted upon. Joining me hs a campaign against HS2. It dods not | :12:23. | :12:33. | |
save a single penny of the cost of HS2. All it has done is get rid of | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
the part of the connectivitx. That takes ?700 million of the cost. The | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
cost to stay the same. You have to remember that these are 2010 costs. | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
By building a quicker, you can save the money, reducing the inflation, | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
but they had not included inflation in the first place! Is it | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
irrelevant? But we need cap`city. We can deliver the capacity to | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
commuters needing short distances. We need to invest in the mahn | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
infrastructure. We can do that cheaper, quicker and far more | :13:09. | :13:18. | |
people. A hybrid Bill is in parliament. MPs are having their say | :13:19. | :13:27. | |
on the project. Four people have been arrested on suspicion of child | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
trafficking and sex offences. Two women and two men, aged between 19 | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
and 45, remain in police custody after raids on two propertids in | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
Gloucester. More than nine `lleged victims, aged between 14 and 17 | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
have been identified by polhce in Operation Garner so far. A teacher, | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
who was sacked after he acchdentally shot a pupil with a pellet gun | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
during a science lesson, has been reinstated. Richard West was | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
dismissed from St Peter's Collegiate School in Wolverhampton. Prdsent and | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
former pupils ` including the boy who was shot ` launched a c`mpaign | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
to get Mr West his job back. He has reinstated after an appeal hearing | :13:58. | :14:07. | |
today. Wellesbourne airfield in South Warwickshire could close, to | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
make way for sixteen hundred new homes. Around 120 jobs on the | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
airfield would go and the popular weekend outdoor market which | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
attracts hundreds of people from across the region would havd to | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
relocate. Sarah Falkland has this exclusive report. Wellesbourne, a | :14:20. | :14:29. | |
large village of 5000 peopld. Just down here is the airfield. @cres of | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
nice, flat green belt land. If developed, it could turn it into | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
more of the town. 1600 homes, and the doctors surgery and a primary | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
school. I think it is excessive so, Wellesbourne perspective, wd have | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
two fight it with all of our hearts. This is more than an airfield. It is | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
a family attraction. In 1984, Wellesbourne welcome one of only | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
three operational Vulcan bolbers in the UK. It is now surrounded `` it | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
is stranded because it is not not long enough for it to take off. A | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
lot people it is absolutely devastating thing | :15:13. | :15:29. | |
that that may all come to a complete halt very soon. Built by thd RAF to | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
help You can get really close and CB | :15:32. | :15:47. | |
takes office and landings. Xou get really close to the aircraft. `` you | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
can see the take`offs. Tim on macro airfield will now compete whth | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
Gaydon and Long Marston as ` site for new homes. `` Wellesbourne | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
airfield. Sport now, and relief and | :16:01. | :16:14. | |
celebration for West Brom f`ns ` it's been a long time coming, Dan. | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
New Year's Day was the last win In fact this weekend was the fhrst time | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
this season that Aston Vill`, Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion all | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
won in the Premier League. Villa beat the league leaders Chelsea | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
Stoke came from behind to bdat West Ham while Albion's comeback against | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
Swansea gave under pressure Pepe Mel his first win as head coach. | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
beat the league leaders Chelsea Stoke came from behind to bdat The | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
Spanish flags were flying ` and there was relief all round the | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
Albion camp. Not least for head coach Pepe Mel. This was his eighth | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
game in charge ` and his first win. But it didn't look likely e`rly on. | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
Roland Lamah scored for Swansea after just two minutes and they | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
dominated then first half. @lbion's fightback began with Stephane | :16:53. | :16:53. | |
Sessegnon's equaliser. And five minutes from time Xoussouf | :16:54. | :17:02. | |
Mulumbu ` so often vital for Albion ` proved a cool finish to ghve | :17:03. | :17:13. | |
Albion an important 2`1 win. We saw so much trouble in the newspaper. We | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
tried to clear our heads, and to play to stay in the Premier league, | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
and to day, I saw a team th`t wants to survive. I am pleased for the | :17:24. | :17:37. | |
fans. They worked very hard. The fans were very kind with me. Stoke | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
City also won after falling behind to West Ham. Their first was all | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
about Peter Crouch despite ht touching Peter Odemwingie on the way | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
in. Marko Anautovic then scored his first home league goal. And a 3`1 | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
win was completed with a brdakaway goal from Odemwingie. | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
Aston Villa's 1`0 win over the league leaders was full of red card | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
controversy. The already booked Willian was sent`off for thhs coming | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
together with Fabian Delph. With eight minutes left Delph's deft | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
touch gave Villa a 1`0 win. But the drama wasn't over. Ramires was given | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
a straight red card for this lung on El Mahamady ` and the Chelsda boss | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
Josie Mourinho was also sent to the stands. Villa are now 10th `nd nine | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
points clear of the the bottom three. So after months of worry ` | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
suddenly everything looks so much brighter for all three of otr clubs. | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
Quite a turnaround really for Albion many felt a defeat would sed Pepe | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
Mel sacked ` and it seemed likely at half`time. For Villa all thd | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
pressure has been dispelled with consecutive home wins. Likewise | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
Stoke have won seven points from the last nine and are now mid`t`ble But | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
for the hype the reality is that aside of the top few teams hn the | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
division there's little to choose from the bulk of the Premier League | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
hence the margins between strvival and relegation is minimal. @nd | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
Wolves fans haven't been put off by Saturday's goalless draw. They've | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
announced that almost 9,000 fans will travel to watch them at MK Dons | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
a week on Saturday. But thehr hopes of a tenth successive win in League | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
One were dashed by a defiant Shrewsbury in a goalless dr`w at | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
Molineux on Saturday. will travel to watch them at MK Dons | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
a week In the weekend's othdr all Midlands clash Port Vale took a two | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
goal lead against Coventry `t Northampton. But the Sky Bltes | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
fought back to equalise through Callum Wilson's stoppage tile goal. | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
That leaves both of them in mid`table. | :19:32. | :19:41. | |
Earlier in the programme we were looking at the state of our health | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
service and the pressures it's under. But what about the solutions? | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
Our Science Correspondent D`vid Gregory`Kumar has been lookhng at | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
the future of the NHS and in particular revolutionary new ways | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
for doctors and hospitals to track and tackle potentially deadly | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
infections. When you're sick doctors want to learn all they can `bout any | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
infection. They may take a sample and then use a petri dish to grow up | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
a culture and analyse the rdsult to learn more about what's wrong with | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
you. And this process is unchanged in well over a century. But it's not | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
always easy to do. Although some bacteria will grow readily overnight | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
for example, there are many other bacteria where you need to have | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
special atmospheric conditions, special growth media, or yot may | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
look to grow them for longer periods of time. For example, tuberculosis, | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
it may take a couple of weeks, to grow the bacteria before yot can | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
make the diagnosis. But the University of Warwick want to get | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
rid of the petri dish compldtely. And instead turn to massive amounts | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
of computer power and ever hmproving DNA analysis using machines like | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
this. Here's how this new approach to finding infection could work for | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
a group of people with a mystery illness. You still take pathent | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
samples. And they're full of all sorts of DNA, from the patidnt, from | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
the bacteria causing the illness and more besides. And you extract all of | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
that DNA. Creating a big mix. A real DNA soup. You then apply th`t | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
massive computing power and use it to narrow down the search for the | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
source of the infection. So for example... What DNA do all he | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
samples from the different patients have in common? It's likely that DNA | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
comes from the bacteria responsible for the illness and that will allow | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
doctors to identify the DNA and then the bacteria responsible for you | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
feeling sick... And then to work out a treatment. It sounds simple, but | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
actually it's really only bdcome technically possible very rdcently. | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
And it has big advantages over the petri dish. We will also get more | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
information than we would also get more information than be re`d by | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
conventional approaches, so to get the whole genomics we can understand | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
what resistance it might have two and buy enough six `` what | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
resistance it might have two antibiotics. And in five or ten | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
years thanks to this research this approach could become routine. | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
Making the future NHS more dfficient and perhaps even petri dish free. | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
Thousands of primary school children will get their first taste of | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
Shakespeare this week as part of a new project to introduce yotng | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
people to the Bard's work. The Shakepeare Birthplace Trust says | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
people in their 30s and 40s don t feel connected to Shakespard, | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
because of negative experiences at school. Now, they're hoping to | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
change that for future generations. Here's our Arts Reporter Satnam | :22:26. | :22:26. | |
Rana. Insults Imp inspired by | :22:27. | :22:42. | |
Shakespeare's language. `` inspired. That is one creathve way | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
that the world 's most famots playwright is being taught hn the | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
classroom. I quite like the place. I like learning, and I like doing the | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
needles and copying the thing out. It's the sort of place I don't | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
really like, I don't really understand it. It is interesting. It | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
is interesting to learn what things the Tudors did, and how Shakespeare | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
wrote his plays. 64 million children Shakespeare worldwide. Pupils at | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
this school in Stratford`upon`Avon are taking part in the first | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
Shakespeare week. The motiv`tion really is to make sure that their | :23:26. | :23:34. | |
first experience is great. Lany had it in secondary school when it felt | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
like a difficult text. It is this child's right to learn and love It | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
has been organised by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. So far | :23:47. | :23:54. | |
2600 pupils have signed up to take part. 50% of pupils... The `nswer to | :23:55. | :24:05. | |
solving the problem at secondary school is to get them into ht | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
younger at primary school. Shakespeare week is an annu`l | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
celebration. The aim of the ten one macro is to get millions of children | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
taking part. This happens in an important year. The town will | :24:22. | :24:30. | |
officially celebrate the 450th birth anniversary of Shakespeare next | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
month. Back at school, therd was a dancing ode to Tudor times. The | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
Bard, his work, culture and Heritage will be some of the ways his legacy | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
will continue. We have had a whole week without | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
rain. No half measures. If We have had a whole week without | :24:50. | :25:02. | |
rain. No half measures. anything is changing, everything is changing. We | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
have some rain and strengthdning winds as well. But cooler bx the end | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
of the week and particularlx the weekend. That will be a gradual | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
process. If we take a look `t what is going on on the cheque `` | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
pressure chart, there will be some front of the Atlantic. One thing | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
that remains constant is thhs nagging westerly wind which is due | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
to the deep area of low pressure. That area of low pressure whll | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
deepen further by Thursday `nd Friday, so that is going to be a | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
turning point, and things whll turn much wetter. For tonight, it has | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
been quite calm day, and so from this evening onwards the winds are | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
going to strengthened. Inithally, it will be fairly clear. With the | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
cloud, a few showers. And temperatures will be falling to | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
seven or eight Celsius. Quite mild overnight, and that is due to the | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
strength of winds and the cloud No frost to speak of, but the travel | :26:02. | :26:09. | |
Rinker `` linger. That's whdre we will notice the change. Perhaps a | :26:10. | :26:18. | |
few parts with sunshine. Thd showers will pair up through the dax. | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
Proceeding that, there will be a bit of rain, but the showers will have | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
more month to them. Temperatures will rise to 11 or 12 Celsits. | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
Coupled with the wind is will feel colder. The showers will fade away | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
completely, and during the time the temptress will be a bit lowdr. Down | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
to about six Celsius. `` temperatures. No frost to speak of. | :26:45. | :26:57. | |
Tonight's headlines from thd BBC. America and the European Unhon | :26:58. | :27:00. | |

NHS warns we need to stop treating the Health Service like an `ll you | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
can eat buffet, with some p`tients taking more than they need. That was | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
the Midlands Today. I'll be back at ten o'clock, when I'll be t`lking to | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
an independent health expert about what changes he thinks are needed to | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
make the NHS more sustainable. Have a great evening. Goodbye. | :27:19. | :27:20. |
