Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: We'll buy | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
your house and cover your moving costs ` a surprise pledge today from | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
the Government to families blighted by HS2. | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
We're live in a village where the line will cut through to find out | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
what residents think of this latest development. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Also tonight: The sister of a Hillsborough victim tells an inquest | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
he was let down by the police. When my brother most needed their | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
help, they literally turned their backs on him. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
Calls to make unpasteurised milk readily available, although some | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
think it's potentially dangdrous. Amber's dream: to dance, run and | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
play with other children, and her school pals are right behind her. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
Amber's going to America to have this operation, its ?60,000 and | :00:46. | :00:54. | |
she's got to fly. ?? WHITE And join me for a look at | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
this weekend's weather. If it's like today, it's worth | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
waiting for. Good evening. Residents livhng | :01:00. | :01:17. | |
alongside the route of the proposed High Speed Two rail line have today | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
been offered an increased compensation package. Homes closest | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
to the proposed line will bd bought by the Government for their full | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
unblighted market value and owners will be offered an extra cash | :01:27. | :01:35. | |
payment to help with moving costs. Quite a surprise move? | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
Indeed it is ` in the past, the Government has done its best to buy | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
as few properties as it could. Now it seems the floodgates are open for | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
hundreds of properties to bd bought. Tonight we're in the villagd of | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
Gilson in north Warwickshird. It would be severely affected by HS2, | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
yet most homeowners have bedn refused compensation. Tonight it | :01:56. | :02:07. | |
appears that the majority of homes will be bought here. | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
For some living along the route of HS2 ` their homes have been blighted | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
now for almost four years. Lany have been stuck in a state of lilbo ` | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
unable to sell their houses for what they're worth. But what madd matters | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
worse was that an initial Government compensation scheme was difficult to | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
access. Now that things are changing with the launch today of an 'Express | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
Purchase' scheme for those closest to the line in the so called | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
'Safeguarding zone'. But thd Government appears to have gone even | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
further, with two other measures including a 'Voluntary Purchase | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Scheme' and a 'Need to Sell' scheme, both designed to help homeowners | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
outside the zone. There'll `lso be cash payments to some others whose | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
homes have been blighted thd most by HS2. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
MPs whose constituencies have been badly affected by HS2 have given | :02:53. | :03:02. | |
today's news a cautious welcome I am disappointed. I am intdrested | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
in the idea of a residence champion. That could be an idea if it is | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
genuinely independent. The cash compensation they are offerhng to | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
people. I welcome that in principle but they do not have their sums | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
right. After years of misery ` for some the | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
HS2 nightmare could be finally over. But for others the waiting | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
continues. Some of the meastres announced today will only bdgin | :03:28. | :03:37. | |
after another major consult`tion. Here, the line runs just bexond that | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
tree behind me. It is quite close to this man's house. Previouslx you | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
were refused of an offer to buy by the Government. But you must be | :03:49. | :03:58. | |
pleased that now they are btying? Yes, it is such a relief. Wd're so | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
pleased. Are you surprised? I always thought | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
that in the long run they would agree to buy the properties because | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
in our village were surrounded by the rail line on all sides. | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
Also with me, a chartered strveyor who has dealt with claims in this | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
village. These measures certainly introduce | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
clarity for a lot of people. Reduce weight, HS2 were working under | :04:34. | :04:44. | |
fairly Draconian rules. Thex didn't have to buy a property in the past. | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
But now if you are within the correct zone, they will buy the | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
property. Is this as generous as they would | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
have us believe? I think it is a good scheme for | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
people in the zone. Also, if properties straddle the zond, they | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
will still buy it. So, a very good move. | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
Some of this still has to go out to consultation again? | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
Yes. There is a further schdme for further compensation. We will see | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
what that brings. Thank you for joining us. | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
Thanks for joining us this dvening on BBC Midlands Today. Coming up: | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
The race against time to get river rescue services back up to scratch | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
again after thieves vandalised and stole vital equipment. | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
The sister of one of the Hillsborough victims has told an | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
inquest jury that police "lhterally turned their backs on him" when he | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
most needed their help. Louhse Brookes was speaking about her | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
brother, Andrew, during the new inquests into the 96 football fans | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
who lost their lives in Sheffield 25 years ago. | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
Today was a day Louise Brooks had waited many years for. Her chance to | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
tell an inquest jury about her brother, Andrew. He was 26 when he | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
died in the Hillsborough disaster. Since I have been fighting, you ve | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
only ever seen me. You've ndver gotten to know my brother. H think | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
because we are completely dhfferent personalities, it is so important | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
that people get to know my brother. After the hearing, Louise, from | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
Bromsgrove, read out extracts of what she said in court. | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
"Andrew was brought up to rdspect the police. Our parents alw`ys told | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
us that if ever we were in trouble, the police were always therd to help | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
us. When my brother most nedded their help, they literally turned | :06:44. | :06:58. | |
their backs on him. After hd died, the whole dynamics of familx | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
changed. Andrew had been so important to all of us. Mum and dad | :07:03. | :07:12. | |
never really recovered". Their mother died in 2000, their | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
father, last month. I only buried my dad came d`ys | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
before these inquests began. It makes me so angry that both my | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
parents have both gone to their graves without knowing how or why | :07:28. | :07:28. | |
their son died. This is the fourth day families of | :07:29. | :07:40. | |
the 96 victims have been re`ding out portraits about their loved ones. | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
The jury has seen tears and laughter, as each relative | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
reminisced during the emotional hearing. | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
It is important that the jury and the public get to know the | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
personalities behind these 86. Relatives supported each other | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
today. Louise finished her statement by saying she now existed for one | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
reason: to ensure her brothdr did not die in vain. | :08:08. | :08:20. | |
A governor at a Birmingham school, which is alleged to be the target of | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
an Islamic takeover plot, h`s described the claims as a "witch | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
hunt". The Department for Education is investigating 12 schools in | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
Birmingham over the alleged plot. The City Council and Ofsted are also | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
making inquiries. Our correspondent is here now. What has the governor | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
been saying? The governor has been at thhs | :08:43. | :08:51. | |
academy for 15 years. The school is that the centre of this so`called | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
Trojan horse controversy. Hd is a Christian and a senior governor | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
there. I picked it him that allegations are coming out `bout the | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
school almost every other d`y. He says allegations are unfounded. I | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
also told him it is teachers on his own staff feeding the media with | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
allegations. Most of the allegations we have | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
received from people purporting to be current staff are anonymous. | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
We've been unable to identify or investigate those. We've had no | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
complaints coming through school procedures or processes that haven't | :09:30. | :09:39. | |
been dealt with or addressed. This school has been under tremendous | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
scrutiny. What effect has it had on people there? | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
Tremendous pressure. Everybody at the school said they have bden | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
devastated. It is bad for the school's reputation. The man I spoke | :09:53. | :10:02. | |
to wanted to remind people that it is an outstanding school. | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
I am proud of what has been achieved here. I am proud of the fact that | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
this school respects the culture and background of its pupils and its | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
communities. And I am or evdn proud of the achievements it has lade And | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
the attainment of the pupils. I think that's something that should | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
be celebrated, not condemned. This is clearly complex. How long will it | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
go on? Ofsted are not saying. The City | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
Council are not talking abott it. It could be that we get this Ofsted | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
report this week or it may be after the Easter holidays. At the same | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
time, then Birmingham MPs wdre calling on the Government this week | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
to give clarification. To gdt the publication out so that we `ll have | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
the facts and evidence. Thank you. And on BBC WM tolorrow, | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
Adrian Goldberg will spend `n hour of his show debating the issues | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
surrounding the so`called Trojan Horse inquiry. | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
Volunteers who help to rescte flood victims need to raise thous`nds of | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
pounds to replace stolen eqtipment, after thieves broke into thdir base. | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
Two Land Rovers belonging to the Severn Area Rescue Associathon were | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
smashed in the raid and one of its inflatable crafts was also stolen. | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
On call 24 hours a day, sevdn days a week. The volunteers who have | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
rescued hundreds of people, recently the homeowners trapped by the | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
floods. Then on Monday night The Severn Area Rescue Associathon | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
became a victim of crime. It's terrible. On Monday, mdmbers of | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
the SARA were down at ten Downing Street to speak to Prime Minister | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
Cameron. It was to discuss the rescue and response and our | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
activities during the floods. Only to find on Monday night when we | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
returned that our compound had been broken into. Two vehicles wdre | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
severely vandalised and loads of equipment and fuel stolen. | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
Smashed Land Rovers, tools for mending equipment, fuel tanks for | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
lifeboats, compressors for blowing up the lifeboats and an acttal | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
lifeboat, all stolen. SARA doesn't receive an official grant ` it's a | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
registered charity. It's entirely self`funding. Whoever stole from the | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
Rescue Association this week also stole from the local communhty. | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
SARA's base is not exactly dasy to find, hidden within the grotnds of | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
the old Lee Castle Hospital near Kidderminster, the belief is the | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
thieves knew exactly what they were looking for. | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
The initial temper has now died down. My team is absolutely | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
heartbroken and distraught `fter all the hard work and plaudits `nd | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
support from the community. Some of the stolen equipment had | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
been donated to SARA, therefore probably not covered by instrance. | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
So amongst the busy hours hdlping others, the service now has to begin | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
the arduous task of not onlx raising funds for its future, but r`ising | :12:39. | :12:39. | |
funds to replace its past. Now, how many of us have daxdreamed | :12:40. | :12:59. | |
about inventing something remarkable? Well, a former racing | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
driver from Warwickshire has just signed a multi`million pound deal | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
after coming up with an ide` that aims to make engines across the | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
world more efficient. The C`rbon Trust is so impressed they're | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
hailing him as the next Jamds Dyson. Made in the Midlands, with the | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
promise of raking in millions. This is the invention that could | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
revolutionise the future of engines. The "blade compressor" is the | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
brainchild of entrepreneur Steve Lindsay. But what exactly is a | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
compressor? If you imagine where the piston | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
drops down, that could form the basis of the engine in a car. The | :13:37. | :13:45. | |
blade is effectively the piston It draws on air behind it. The magic | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
comes here, passing through this disc and compress. I came up with | :13:53. | :14:04. | |
the idea after reading a book on Indians. `` a book about engines. | :14:05. | :14:18. | |
Steve could have picked any number of industries but set his shghts on | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
water. Severn Trent started trialling his prototype at their | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
sewage plant in Worcester b`ck in 2012. And it's made such a | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
difference they're not letthng it go. We have 10,000 running hours | :14:28. | :14:39. | |
installed on the compressor itself. The information we're getting from | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
compressor is on site indic`te it is about 20% more efficient. | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
Back in Warwickshire, Steve's taking on more staff at his office in | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
Napton after signing a multh`million pound deal with a Swiss watdr | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
company. But the water industry is just the start. | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
Next, superchargers, vacuum pumps for medical devices and ste`m power. | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
You may be a very rich man! Steve's travelled a long wax since | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
his racing days, with one award already under his belt, he's hoping | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
his blade compressor will t`ke the world by storm. | :15:17. | :15:27. | |
Our top story tonight: A surprise promise from the Government ` some | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
residents' homes will be botght and their moving costs paid. | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
We'll have a detailed weathdr forecast shortly. | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
Also in tonight's programme: Some say unpasteurised or raw milk could | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
be dangerous to drink, but there are calls to make it readily av`ilable. | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
And we'll meet five year old Amber who has cerebral palsy but xearns to | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
run, dance and play just like other children. | :15:48. | :16:02. | |
Children at a primary school in Warwickshire have won a nathonal | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
award for their campaign to tackle cyber bullying. It started `fter | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
they found out that nearly forty per cent of children suffer abuse | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
online. They'll receive the Young Citizens Award from the Rot`ry Club | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
at a ceremony in Birmingham on Saturday. | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
All the actors in this film are from Eastlands Primary School in Rugby ` | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
it shows the traumatic affects of cyber`bullying on an individual | :16:26. | :16:36. | |
I wanted to scream and cry... The children play the variots roles | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
in a court room as the case builds against the defendant. He's charged | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
with cyber bullying, but at the crunch moment the real bullx who | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
started the chain of events reveals himself. He didn't do it! It was me. | :16:49. | :17:01. | |
I did it. Every time I watch it, it sdnds | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
shiver down my spine. It shows you the consequences of cyber`btllying. | :17:09. | :17:19. | |
As well as the film, the chhldren have also devised this theatre | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
production entitled "not such a sweet tweet", again forcing home the | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
point about cyber`bullying. Who is this? Who is sending these? It could | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
be anybody. After all, everxbody hates you! | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
Internet safety evening so important. They taught us a lot | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
today. It gave a clear mess`ge. Be smart on the internet. It w`s | :17:45. | :18:00. | |
amazing! The positive feedback we're getting | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
is in relation to the fact that it is children performing and children | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
learning. The children may have experienced these things and can put | :18:10. | :18:10. | |
that message across. The children collect their `ward on | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
Saturday, then it's back to spreading the word about internet | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
safety. And that awards ceremony will be | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
broadcast live on the BBC Ndws channel this weekend. | :18:21. | :18:29. | |
Football now: Birmingham City are still not safe from relegathon after | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
losing 3`1 in a dramatic gale at Middlesbrough last night. Blues were | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
two down at the Riverside Stadium before giving themselves a chance | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
thanks to this spectacular goal from Emyr Hughes. Middlesbrough had two | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
players sent off but still lanaged to score a third. Birminghal are now | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
just four points above the Championship relegation zond. | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
The milk we buy in the shops is pasteurised ` heated to a hhgh | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
temperature to kill off any nasty bugs. But there's a vocal mhnority | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
which wants un`pasteurised or what's called raw milk. Critics sax | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
drinking raw milk is dangerous and it's actually banned in Scotland. | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
Now the authorities south of the border want to re`examine the whole | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
issue. It's still a bit soggy for the | :19:08. | :19:21. | |
Jerseys on Beaconhill Farm, in the heart of Herefordshire, to go out | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
after winter. Most of the mhlk they produce is pasteurised and dnds up | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
in a supermarket, but unusu`lly not all of it. | :19:29. | :19:40. | |
Most of the milk goes into ` tanker and because it is a small f`rm I get | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
about 25p per litre. That's what I normally have to get by on. I have | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
diversified. And john has diversified into | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
unpasteurised or raw milk. @nd While we were filming another new customer | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
for Beaconhill Farm's unpasteurised milk appeared. Happy to makd the | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
journey to the farm gate to pick it up. As a child, we always h`d passed | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
arise milk. To find out I c`n get it so near to my house is fant`stic. | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
The health benefits are spectacular. The thought of having milk straight | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
from the cow is wonderful. The law says you can't sell | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
unpasteurised milk. But these days, if you have a website, the farm gate | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
could effectively be anywhere. This is one of the issues this ndw | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
consultation from the foods standards agency is dealing with. | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
For john Barron unpasteurisdd milk offers an important revenue stream | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
for a small farm like his. @lthough there are increased time and costs | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
associated with meeting the more intense inspection process that | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
comes with unpasteurised milk. And even if it's banned he says people | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
will find a way to get hold of it. In Australia, it is banned. I have | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
met a person from Sydney who bottles and sells it as clear up after's | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
bath water. The surprising thing is that it says this on the label, not | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
for human consumption. The bottles that and sells it and it is sold out | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
within one hour of going on sale. There are a lot The Food St`ndards | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
Agency consultation on raw lilk ends at the end of this month. | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
Of the people in industrial your! And David joins us now. Is raw milk | :21:20. | :21:32. | |
safe? I promise you it is pdrfectly safe to drink. Try it. Sincd 20 2 | :21:33. | :21:41. | |
there have been no instances of food poisoning. There is a good record of | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
safe production. Historically, we did have to introduce | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
pasteurisation. 65,000 people in England and Wales died from TBD | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
picked up from unpasteurised milk before it was introduced. So it is | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
really important. Which do xou prefer? | :21:59. | :22:08. | |
I cannot taste any difference. That is the raw milk. It is slightly | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
creamier. A subtle difference. But, for people who want it like the | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
customer in that report. Thd do say it has health benefits. | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
It is not likely to be banndd? It has been banned in Scotland. But | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
what the FSA want to do is tighten the rules. They are going to look at | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
selling online. They are saxing a lot of people want this. If they can | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
get hold of it and produce ht safely to a high standard, it should be | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
fine. For a small dairy farler it is a useful source of income. | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
Thank you. Time to meet five year old @mber | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
Porterfield from Walsall. Alber has cerebral palsy and needs a life | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
changing operation. We were told about her by her grandparents Tom | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
and Angie who emailed us about the campaign to raise ?60,000 to help | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
her walk. In the email they say "When Amber was four she sahd to us | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
'when I am five I will be able to run and play with all the other | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
children.' With our help shd will." Tom and Angie invited us to meet | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
Amber and her school friends ` so we sent Holly Lewis along. | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
Amber Porterfield loves to dance with her walking frame. If she can | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
travel to America for speci`list surgery, one day her parents hope | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
she might not need it. This operation is so import`nt. We | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
want the best for her, so it's the only way forward. As soon as we | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
found out about it, we wantdd to know how we could get her rdferred. | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
I have never seen her get up or walk or stand. To see her do that would | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
be everything to me. The neurosurgery, called selective | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
dorsal rhizotomy, is available in this country, but the NHS only fund | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
a handful of cases, so everx year dozens of British children travel to | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
the US to the surgeon who phoneered the procedure. The whole package | :24:00. | :24:07. | |
costs ?60,000. One group of people determined to | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
help Amber are her classmatds at school. | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
You could see the commitment in their eyes as I spoke to thd | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
children. They had their hands up with lots of ideas. | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
One of Amber's friends has `lready organised his own version of 'guess | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
the number of sweets in the jar . I've got a big bucket with sweets in | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
it with a photo off Facebook. Of course Amber helps me raise all the | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
money. And Amber is grateful for Bradley's | :24:35. | :24:47. | |
help, as sometimes she's quhte shy. He is a very brave at doing it. All | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
the gifts and sweets. He is more confident. | :24:52. | :25:02. | |
The whole community of Pels`ll is planning a summer of events to raise | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
money to help Amber fulfill her dreams. Fantastic children! | :25:09. | :25:21. | |
Decent bit of sunshine todax ` let's get the forecast from Shefali. | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
Hello. We are looking at sole replica weather today. It whll be | :25:28. | :25:42. | |
mostly dry with some mild wdather during the daytime and cold at | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
night. It could be cold enotgh for a touch of frost. Perhaps a bht more | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
during the weekend. This is the system bringing in that change. High | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
pressure is swelling up frol the West. We might see some patchy rain. | :26:01. | :26:10. | |
Not much to speak of. We saw some cloud this afternoon and thdn left | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
again. In clear spells we m`y see temperatures drop more. But | :26:18. | :26:27. | |
respectable temperatures. It will remain dry. We could see sole | :26:28. | :26:35. | |
patches of mist and fog devdloping at the start of tomorrow. A murky | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
start initially, but by the time most of us are on the way to work, | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
the sunshine breaks through nicely. We will start to see cloud gradually | :26:48. | :26:59. | |
thicken up. Perhaps a few showers ahead of that. Temperatures will | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
rise to about 14 degrees. Today it was 15 degrees in Birminghal, not | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
bad for this time of year. Tomorrow night: Rain crosses the reghon from | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
north`west to south`east. It should clear by Friday. | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
