Good evening. We are back | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Good evening. European election candidates from | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
the Midlands have clashed in a special live debate on the BBC's | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Sunday Politics. Representatives of the four main parties gathered to | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
discuss a range of subjects ahead of the elections on May the 22nd. But, | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
as Kevin Reide reports, the debate was dominated by the issue of | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
whether Britain should withdraw from the EU. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
In a united Europe a lot can be achieved, some would say ` take | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
Eurovision for example. OK, not everybody's cup of tea, but like | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
politics there are unexpected winners. So could that be so for | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
prospective MEPs in the forthcoming European elections. Today on the | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
Sunday's Politics show the West Midlands candidates set out their | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
stalls, starting with the Tories. We are confident we have a good | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
message. We believe our message is popular, the British people buy into | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
what we are saying. There is still ten days to go. The Lib Dems are the | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
most pro`European of the main parties, but the polls show they | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
could end up with no West Midlands MEPs. | :01:12. | :01:11. | |
ten days to go. The Lib Dems are the The polls are suggesting that we are | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
concentrating in areas where will we believe the vote will come out for | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
us. This is a region that depends on Europe for jobs, prosperity and | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
economic. UKIP were set up to take Britain out | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
of the EU altogether, and they're expecting major gains. 92% of this | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
country cannot name their MEP. If I am elected, I will be elected to a | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
chamber. The only parliament in Western Europe where we will not be | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
a will to instigate legislation. Labour want to fight for jobs and | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
growth within Europe, but their main West Midlands candidate believes | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
focus on the real issues is being lost. | :01:57. | :01:57. | |
People treat this election as Nigel Farage wants them to treat it, a | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
referendum on the EU. This is a real election about real issues and that | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
is what we should be concentrating on. | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
So a week on Thursday voters in the West Midlands will be asked to put | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
their X in one of these boxes next to one of the eleven parties | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
standing and if you want to know more about the parties or the | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
candidates you can find out on the bbc website where there's a special | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
section. The results will be announced three days later on Sunday | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
25th, but it's unlikely to be quite such a glitzy affair as last night's | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Euro vote. There will be more debate on the | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
European elections tomorrow morning on BBC local radio. Adrian Goldberg | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
will be the host as candidates talk about immigration, the economy and | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
whether we should be in or out of Europe. That's between 11.00am and | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
12.00pm on BBC WM, BBC Coventry and Warwickshire and BBC Shropshire. | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
A 19`year`old man who was arrested after a man and woman were stabbed | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
to death in Walsall has been released without charge. The woman | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
and her former partner were found dead at a house in Hollemeadow | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
Avenue yesterday morning. The 19`year`old, who is believed to have | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
been known to them, was arrested at the scene. A police spokesman said | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
the man would not face any further action and that he had provided | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
"invaluable information." A family of four had a lucky escape | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
when a car ploughed into their Coventry home, demolishing the front | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
door and ending up in the hallway. The car was stuck three`quarters of | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
the way through the hall area after the crash in Earlsdon Avenue South. | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
A woman passenger was taken to hospital but the man driving was not | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
hurt. The ambulance service said two adults and two children inside the | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
house were "extremely fortunate" to escape injury. | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
Campaigners against the closure of a historic swimming baths in | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
Birmingham have been rallying support at a special Open Day. The | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
pool at Moseley Road Baths is due to close next year as part of council | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
cutbacks. The listed building is one of over 240 around the region which | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
are on the English Heritage "At Risk" register. Protesters say it's | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
vital the baths are kept in public use. The argument is always there is | :04:04. | :04:16. | |
no money for this. We must find the money because it is an important | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
asset. It is the swimming that is under threat because under the | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
council's sliming strategy, it is one of the community. Vocals. `` | :04:28. | :04:36. | |
swimming. Onto football, and on the final day of the Premier League | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
season, Aston Villa were beaten 3`0 down at Spurs, with all the goals | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
coming in the first half. Meanwhile, Charlie Adam got the | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
winner in Stoke City's 2`1 win at West Bromwich Albion. | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
In League Two, Burton Albion will take a slender lead into the second | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
leg of their play`off semifinal against Southend, despite playing | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
for half an hour with ten men. Adam McGurk scored the only goal of the | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
game just before half`time after latching onto Billy McKee's pass. | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
The home side were reduced to ten men after an hour when Ian Sharps | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
was sent off for a second bookable offence, but managed to hold on for | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
a 1`0 win. Time for a look at the weather now | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
with Sara Blizzard. Good evening. It has been a windy | :05:11. | :05:21. | |
day today and we have some seen some heavy showers as well. We will see | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
those heavy showers through the early part of next week. Much warmer | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
conditions arriving towards the end of the week, we have showers | :05:31. | :05:40. | |
filtering end. A minimum temperature of seven Celsius. Throughout | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
tomorrow the strong winds will die down through Monday. The showers | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
become heavily into the afternoon. With the wind being lighter, they | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
will be slow moving as well. Daytime temperatures at a maximum of 15 | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
Celsius. That is it for now. I will Good evening. We have still got some | :05:57. | :06:10. | |
very heavy showers out there. For ors we are finishing the day on a | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
more positive note. Clearer skies to the south indicating sunshine but | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
the cloud still streaming in further north. Tomorrow's forecast brings a | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
similar mixture, sunshine and showers although the winds will | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
start to be lighter. That process begins through the night tonight. A | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
shattering of showers still possible. Clearer skies across | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
northern Scotland probably our lowest temperatures here. For many | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
temperatures will begin Monday morning at around 8 or 9 degrees | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
already with a few showers around. I think be drier spells in between, as | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
with the nature of showers, they are not everywhere all of the time. | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
Cloudy with brighter spells mixed in across parts of northern England and | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
southern Scotland already with the potential of one or two to be heavy. | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
On northern Scotland on balance through the day on Monday while | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
there could be a few showers, a slight improvement here. But they | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
will start to develop throughout the afternoon and with lighter winds we | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
are more likely to | :07:07. | :07:08. |
