Good evening. The Green Party in the West Midlands says its confident | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
it'll pick up votes in the forthcoming local and European | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
elections because of its opposition to the planned High Speed rail | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
project linking London to the north of England. Supporters say the | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
scheme will boost the region's economy by four billion pounds a | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
year as well as creating fifty thousand jobs. BBC Coventry | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
Warwickshire's political reporter Sian Grzeszczyk has been finding out | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
more. The HS2 route will come through here. Chelmsley Wood, one of | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
the battle grounds along one of the proposed HS2 line from London to | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
Birmingham. The Greens say their opposition to it is winning them | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
votes across the board. It is not just the rural areas who have been | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
more vocal and better about going to the media, people here are furious | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
about it coming so close to their homes on a huge embankment over ten | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
m above the ground. `` ten metres. At the moment, the Greens have 20 | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
councillors across ten West Midlands councils, the most in Solihull where | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
they have seven. The ayes to the right, 452. The noes to the left, | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
41. Last week MPs voted overwhelmingly in favour of the | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
scheme which is now one step closer. If our highly unscientific straw | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
poll is anything to go by, supporting Chelmsley Wood is thin on | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
the ground. I do think we need it. It is a white elephant. It is | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
destroying people's lives. It is the fact that I think it is a total | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
waste of money. The Greens are hoping the issue will play out well | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
in the European elections. Last time out they came sixth in the West | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
Midlands behind the BNP, a long way off securing an MEP. With a | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
fortnight to go before voters go to the polls, they will be hoping their | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
election campaign will be right on track. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
And you can find more information about the elections on our website. | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
Warwickshire Police have confirmed that they were called to a primary | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
school after two pupils added a home made concoction to a teacher's | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
drink. The incident happened at Clapham Terrace Community school in | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Leamington Spa and was believed to involve a mixture of bathroom | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
products. The teacher didn't drink the liquid. The pupils have been | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
disciplined by the school. Neither the school nor the teacher intends | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
to press charges. Four people were rescued from a | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
house fire in Coventry in the early hours of this morning. Neighbours | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
raised the alarm after the blaze broke out in Butler Crescent in | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Exhall. It's believed the fire started on the ground floor of the | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
property. Emergency services were sent to the scene but the family had | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
already managed to get out by climbing down a ladder at the rear | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
of the building. They were taken to hospital and treated for smoke | :02:50. | :02:50. | |
inhalation. A Birmingham football club that | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
specialises in helping the players find employment is preparing for the | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
biggest game in its history. When the Saltley Stallions take to the | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
pitch at Villa Park tomorrow for the Shapla Cup final it will be the | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
perfect reward for a true community club. Nick Clitheroe reports. | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
It's one of their final training sessions before they run out at | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
Villa Park and the Saltley Stallions can still hardly believe it. | :03:16. | :03:25. | |
Everyone is excited. The club, the players, you can see how they are | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
training. Normally a team has one session a week but with the cup | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
finals around the corner, we have only had four weeks to train, so | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
double training sessions is needed. But that's only half the story of | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
this remarkable south Birmingham club. Because in the last 18 months | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
they've helped 16 of their young players find work, many for the | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
first time, including here at Service Birmingham. My manager | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
helped me with my interview tips, my CV and he told me that there would | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
be job vacancies here. I applied for it and have worked hard and made | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
myself permanent. I have done my NVQ in sport development. I have helped | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
a lot of people into work. The Stallions originally formed just to | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
play for fun in the local park but that all changed after the riots of | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
2011. The main reason they were looting and rioting was they had | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
nothing else to do. There is no excuse for it but it was the honest | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
truth. That is why we thought about getting them into employment in any | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
way we could. Word of that help has spread through the community and | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
brought new players to the club. Victory in the cup final would be a | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
fitting conclusion to their season. A group of Worcestershire cricket | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
fans have raised more than fifteen thousand pounds from a sponsored | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
walk. The group left New Road on Thursday morning and arrived at | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
Cardiff yesterday lunchtime. They were raising money for the Basil | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
D'Oliveira foundation, which gives children from deprived backgrounds | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
the opportunity to play cricket. A look at the weather now, here's | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
Shefali. We've been lucky with this bank | :04:59. | :05:08. | |
holiday weekend ` especially if we consider how things are panning out | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
later this week No day is entirely dry unless you fail to catch a | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
shower. But there will be some dry weather about. And the nights are | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
warmer than they have been. It really is a busy picture this week | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
what with Atlantic fronts whipping through one after another and low | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
pressure in charge. Some of those fronts produce rain ` others showers | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
and it will turn windier by Friday and over the weekend but you will | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
have noticed that the cloud's been thickening up all day as a prelude | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
to the arrival of this rain which is now working its way in from the | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
west. There'll be heavier outbreaks from time to time before the whole | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
lot clears away Eastwards to leave a dry end to the night. And compared | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
with last night when temperatures fell to lows of zero degrees around | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
parts of Gloucestershire, tonight those values are only dropping to | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
lows of eight or nine. So we start the day tomorrow with plenty of dry | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
weather. And for a large proportion of the region, we should keep hold | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
of that. There will be some showers breaking out in southern counties | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
later tomorrow and few elsewhere but where we get the sunshine those | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
temperatures should rise comfortably to sixteen or seventeen Celsius It's | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
during tomorrow night that the showers become more widespread, | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
before dying away altogether. The showers will be more widespread. | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
Temperatures around 10 Celsius and we have more showers for Wednesday | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
and Thursday. We will be back just before 10:15pm. Just a reminder that | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
Late Kick Off will be on at 11:35 tonight and it's the last of the | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
series. 11:35 tonight, but you can watch it tomorrow on iplayer. The | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
national weather forecast is next. Have a great evening. Bye. | :06:55. | :07:09. | |
The sunshine today for the bank holiday produced the highest | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
temperature of the long weekend in eastern England today, at 20 | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Celsius. But to the west, the cloud has been gathering. We have seen a | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
bit of rain in Northern Ireland and western Scotland, but the thicker | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
cloud now pushing into the south-west of England is delivering | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
more rain. It will become more extensive over the next few hours. A | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
ragged area of rainfall will move east as the night goes on. If you | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
have yet to make your journey home from the bank holiday weekend, you | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
may encounter sums are a. -- some spray. Temperatures are not too bad | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
. The good news is that most of the rain has gone by the morning. Some | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
may be lingering in the north-east of Scotland and into the Northern | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
Ireland -- | :08:00. | :08:00. |
