creating one of the biggest medical complexes in the country. | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
In this environment is important to make every penny counts. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
We'll find out what this hospital in Birmingham could mean | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
for the healthcare of families throughout the region. | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
Destroyed by arsonists ` an historic home of the Cadbury | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
A warning to pilgrims heading for Mecca ` after a rise in prosecutions | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
This is a once`in`a`lifetime opportunity and they have been | :00:34. | :00:44. | |
duped, those are the most heartbreaking cases. | :00:45. | :00:44. | |
What does ?600 million worth of building look like? | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
We go behind the scenes at New Street Station, ready for | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
And as we say goodbye to a hot and sunny July, | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
I'll have all the details in the forecast later. | :00:55. | :01:07. | |
The Midlands could get a new children's hospital to rival | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
It would run alongside the huge Queen Elizabeth Hospital | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
in Birmingham, creating one of the biggest medial | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
The cost would be more than ?400 million, but parents at the existing | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
children's hospital, built more than 150 years ago, said today that it | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
Here's our health correspondent Michele Paduano. | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
Archie is six months old and has never left hospital. | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
The Children's Hospital is a world centre of excellence | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
for heart conditions like his and he needed an operation. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
But when he was born at the Women's Hospital, | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
Alfie was moved and Emma didn't see him before | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
I couldn't stop crying because I didn't get to see him. It was really | :01:56. | :02:05. | |
scary, the thought that anything could happen. | :02:06. | :02:06. | |
Moving sick, young children is far from ideal. | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
Now the radical decision by both trusts is to merge by 2017 and | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
create a brand new joint hospital by 2022 at a cost of ?430m. | :02:13. | :02:21. | |
Both of the boards are committed to doing everything to make this | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
happen. In order to make this hospital happen we need to come | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
together as boards and create one single organisation. Clearly, that | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
has to happen by the time the hospital opens in 2022. | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
This building is not right for modern medicine, but the site is in | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
the heart of the city, so by selling it they can raise some of the cash | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
needed for the new hospital. Elsie May Goody was born at 24 | :02:49. | :02:49. | |
weeks on the edge of survival. Now 33 weeks old, | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
she weighs just 3lbs 5oz. Twice she has had to be sent to | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
the children's hospital It would be better because then LC | :02:56. | :03:05. | |
would not have to go to and from first surgery, she would be in the | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
same place, so it is easier for her. | :03:09. | :03:08. | |
The new women's hospital will be built here. | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
It's not known if this site belonging to the university could | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
But a merger offers many cost savings and tough financial | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Especially for small babies and girls that are reaching adolescence, | :03:18. | :03:27. | |
we are sharing patient anyway, so there is a lot we already have in | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
common and we can build on that. The relations between the different | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
clinical communities are already strong. | :03:34. | :03:34. | |
But the biggest winners will be the babies and children, Michele | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
This is early stages, will this new hospital become reality? | :03:37. | :03:54. | |
Has been talk for 20 years. In 2011 there were moves, but then the | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
chairman and chief executives resigned, partly over this issue. So | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
it has been moving forward very slowly. Because of the financial | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
situation, both hospitals now they cannot get themselves a new hospital | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
without doing this. All the savings that can be made from joining | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
together their backroom functions mean that as one director said to | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
me, this is a no`brainer. It really should happen. | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
What difference would it make to the healthier families across the West | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
Midlands? It would be better for the children | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
and appearance, and it would be better for the doctors who to travel | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
between the various sites. At one of the big things that is going on here | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
is that they are concentrating all this in one site, with the | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
university, and are hoping to create a research centre and the centre of | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
excellence to rival anywhere in the world. | :04:46. | :04:46. | |
You're with Midlands Today, good to have you with us. | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
The harvest is ahead of schedule, but farmers see that rules from the | :04:50. | :05:03. | |
EU could reduce the amount of food they can produce in the future. Join | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
me to find out why. An historic home of the Cadbury | :05:06. | :05:06. | |
family in Birmingham has been A member | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
of the chocolate`making family said today he was shocked and saddened, | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
and it was a loss to the community. Up to 100 firefighters tackled | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
the blaze Our reporter Ben Sidwell | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
joins us now from the scene. Ben, what kind of state has | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
the house been left in? As you can probably see, it is in | :05:25. | :05:35. | |
appalling state. The building, which has stood for 200 years, is most | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
completely destroyed, in just a few hours. That's how severe this fire | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
was. People around here in the whole community are now asking, can this | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
piece of the city's history we saved? | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
Going up in flames, part of Birmingham's heritage. | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
Northfield Manor was once the grand home of the Cadbury family. | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
This morning is was little more than a smouldering shell. | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
Real sadness, this is part of the area's Heritage. The important thing | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
is to retain the building if at all possible. | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
From above, the damage is even clearer. | :06:18. | :06:18. | |
The fire destroying almost all of the house. | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
It was the second time in 24 hours that West Midlands Fire Service had | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
We know that children have been using the site and were chased off, | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
and we know that Cruise in previous evenings have seen children here. | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
Putting that jigsaw together, we are going along the lines of arson, but | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
the investigation is ongoing. For members of the Cadbury family, | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
who used to live at Northfield Manor, shock at the fire and concern | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
for the local community. The sad thing of someone committing | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
permeates into the lives of so many permeates into the lives of so many | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
other people who have very strong and very happy memories, one hopes, | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
and it is a direct attack on their memory. They are the people I feel | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
sorry for, more than our own family. | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
Since 1953 it's been owned by the University of Birmingham | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
and used as halls of residence, but in 2007 it was boarded up. | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
We did boarded`up. We have had long`term plans to develop it, so | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
pathetically, and have plans to make it into flats. | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
The question now is, simply, has Northfield Manor been too badly | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
So Ben, what happens now ` what's the building's future? | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
The future of the building is very unclear. As you can see, the roof | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
has gone, many of the chimney stacks could be dangerous, many of the | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
roofs and the floors have fallen through. They have to see how safe | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
structurally this building is. That'll be the decision as to | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
whether this is kept or not. There were plans going into Brogan City | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
Council into a committee next month `` Birmingham City Council next | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
month, to turn this building into flats. At the moment they do not | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
know what is happening because of the state of the building. The | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
building will first be made more safe, and then people can go inside | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
and assess the damage. The Fire Brigade have said there are lots of | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
loose timbers and loose slates, and some of the chimney stacks are | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
incredibly dangerous. Anyone thinking of coming to have a look | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
around, the advice is to keep away because this is a dangerous building | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
with an uncertain future. The Home Secretary Teresa May was | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
in Birmingham this morning to support the Conservative candidate | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
in the upcoming election for the West Midlands Police | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
and Crime Commissioner. Councillor Les Jones says | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
if he wins, he'll free the police to fight crime | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
and insist on tougher sentences. There is a perception among the | :08:53. | :09:04. | |
public that police arrest criminals and give them a slap on the wrist | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
and let them go. I want to make sure we're doing right by the people, | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
where criminals should be prosecuted, we take every step | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
possible to make sure they are prosecuted. | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
The death of a woman in custody is to be investigated. | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
30`year`old Sharmila Ullah was found dead in a cell at Bloxwich | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
She'd been in hospital overnight, but had been assessed | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
as being fit enough to be returned to custody the morning she died. | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
The privately run Oakwood prison near Wolverhampton is one | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
of two West Midlands jails whose performance has been described | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
The annual rating is the worst that can be given | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
Brinsford Young Offenders Institution | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
in Wolverhampton has also been ranked in the lowest category. | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
Figures given to the BBC reveal a rise in prosecutions | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
for mis`selling packages to pilgrims heading to Mecca. | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
Trading Standards Officers are warning travellers to be careful | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
The warning comes as many Muslims start organising their journey to | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
Saudi Arabia to take part in the annual Hajj pilgrimage. | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
It was supposed the trip of a lifetime, and they'd saved | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
for three years to afford it, but when Makhdoom Chishti and his wife | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
Tahseen booked a pilgrimage to Mecca it was nothing like he'd imagined. | :10:20. | :10:30. | |
It was chaos. We were not put in the same room, we were not looked after | :10:31. | :10:42. | |
properly. I had to share my bed with a man, it was a double bed, and that | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
was ridiculous. I had to sleep on the floor. | :10:48. | :10:48. | |
Makhdoom had to fork out an extra ?300 to get a room with | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
his wife and when he complained to the travel agent he was told because | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
he was on a spiritual pilgrimage it was wrong of him to get upset. | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
Millions of Muslims from across the world make the trip to Mecca every | :10:59. | :11:08. | |
year, and many of them are now being targeted by rogue travel agents: | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
There was just one prosecution back in 2012 which was the first | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
By the end of the reporting period in 2014 | :11:18. | :11:26. | |
there'd been five convictions, with eight more awaiting court dates | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
And at the moment trading standards are already dealing with | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
a further 14 cases brought to them in the last few months. | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
We think this is underreported. As soon as we proactively went out and | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
looked for problems, we found problems. | :11:43. | :11:43. | |
This midlands MP is calling for more to done to try | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
We need to create greater awareness about the rules that apply to | :11:47. | :11:56. | |
booking these packages. There are protections in law which are strong | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
enough, it is just that people are not aware of them. Not everyone has | :12:01. | :12:16. | |
a bad experience. I have just come back, and I had a | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
good experience. If you go with people who are not | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
registered, this is where the problem comes. | :12:24. | :12:24. | |
Makhdoom and Tahseen are hope that by speaking out more people will. | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
Makhdoom and Tahseen want to go back to Mecca one day if they can afford, | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
but say they'll be much more careful booking the trip next time round. | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
A world first ` a joint women's and children's hosptial, | :12:37. | :12:40. | |

New Street Station will be completed by September next year ` | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
according to Network Rail. The huge project includes | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
a shopping centre and is costing Our transport correspondent, | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
Peter Plisner has been checking No modern building, it seems, | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
is complete without one, but the framework that makes up New | :13:27. | :13:39. | |
Street Station atrium is certainly It's a bit like Meccano but | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
on a much larger scale. Soon they will be demolishing this | :13:43. | :13:54. | |
floor below me to bring daylight onto the Concourse station. | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
And for contractors like Peter Creswell, the task | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
of putting on the roof comes with the benefit of stunning views. | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
This is great, this is why we do the job! We get to see things that | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
people don't get to see, we get to see the beautiful buildings from a | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
different angle. Birmingham, London, I've done most of them, really. | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
When it's all finished in September next year the atrium will become | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
a focal point of the new station and the Grand | :14:21. | :14:22. | |
There will be a wow factor. The space you can see here is the size | :14:23. | :14:34. | |
of Wembley football pitch. It will be exciting for Birmingham, and when | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
we open up the retail, it will be an exciting venture for the people of | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
Birmingham. And this time`lapse film | :14:40. | :14:40. | |
shows something others are This is the construction | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
of the new quarter of It'll promises be the company's | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
largest store outside London and it In addition to John Lewis, other big | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
names have signed up to Grand Central including The White | :14:50. | :14:57. | |
Company, Joules, Cath Kidson, But does Birmingham need another big | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
shopping centre? We have some fantastic shops, but | :15:00. | :15:13. | |
this will be the final piece in the jigsaw. There are lots of people who | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
live in the West Midlands who do not shop in Birmingham because they | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
further afield. This gives us an opportunity to make the city the | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
place everyone comes to the go shopping. | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
And with just over a year to go there's still a lot of work still to | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
do if the station and Grand Central are to arrive on time. | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
In farms across the region, the harvest is now underway | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
But some farmers say because so many chemical sprays have now been banned | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
or restricted by the EU, it's making their job much harder, resulting | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
Our rural affairs correspondent David Gregory`Kumar is on a farm | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
David, how is the harvest going so far? | :15:53. | :16:04. | |
Despite the odd shower it is going well. This was a field of wheat just | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
an hour ago, but now it is safely gathered in. Across the Midlands, | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
everything is pretty much ahead of schedule. But they are also saying | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
that there are problems with EU rules banning many of the chemicals | :16:19. | :16:19. | |
they rely on to grow these crops. From barley for beer in | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
Overbury Gloucestershire through to wheat for supermarket loaves | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
in Tamworth in Staffordshire. The hope was this year might be | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
a bumper year. One of the biggest factors affecting | :16:31. | :16:42. | |
yield is sunshine. If you look back to 2012 we can see all the grey | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
areas of below average sunshine. As we move forward we can see that the | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
month of June becomes more sunny and the hope was that would mean better | :16:51. | :16:51. | |
yields. But it seems the extra sunshine | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
hasn't been enough to increase Are mild and wet winter could have | :16:58. | :17:10. | |
damaged the roots. The crop will be more well rounded than last year, | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
but perhaps not as high as some people initially thought. | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
And tackling disease is something farmers say is now harder, because | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
the EU is banning or restricting the use of a number of pesticides, | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
Will have fewer products, so resistance in the crop will build | :17:23. | :17:31. | |
up, and that is not good. Harvest 2014 won't be the bumper | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
crop farmers hoped for a month ago. But with fewer sprays available it | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
might be the best we can do So why is the EU banning | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
so many agricultural chemicals? Has been a shift in how they think | :17:43. | :17:54. | |
about these chemicals. The knock`on effect is they are more risk averse | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
and they are restricting the use of some of them are banning them a | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
great. It is not just wheat, it is chemicals used on things like | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
apples. It is having a big impact on our reformers, and the fear that | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
some pests will become resistant to the fewer number of chemicals that | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
are still in use. We wanted to doctor the EU and called them | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
yesterday and today and you know them several times, but they have | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
and unable to put someone forward to discuss the issue. | :18:24. | :18:24. | |
After weeks of sun, there's a change in the weather ` how's that | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
It is a bit of a gamble. You could do what this farmer did and just | :18:28. | :18:38. | |
gather everything in. The yields might be lower, but it is money in | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
the bank as you have those grains and cereals inside the barn. Some | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
others are leaving things longer in the fields and taking a gamble on | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
the weather and that could mean higher yields. That something | :18:52. | :18:52. | |
farmers have to consider. Sport, the Midlands has won two | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
bronze medals at the And cricketer Moeen Ali has | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
also been making headlines. A remarkable bowling | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
performance today. Worcestershire's Moeen Ali took six | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
wickets as England beat India Ali, who is mainly in the side | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
as a batsman, wrapped up victory He finished with figures of 6 | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
for 47 as England won The five match series is now level | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
at 1`all with two matches to play. The Midlands have won two more | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
bronze medals at the Para lawn Bowls Birmingham's Bob Love showed great | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
skill bowling with his feet and Paul Brown of Ross`On`Wye Bowling | :19:35. | :19:44. | |
Club helped England to beat Scotland in the bronze medal match with | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
his last bowl of the match. The England netball team will take | :19:50. | :19:59. | |
on the defending champions New Zealand | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
in the semi`final this weekend. And it will be a very special | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
occasion for one Birmingham family with a strong sporting tradition, as | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
Nick Clitheroe has been finding out. He's just like every other proud | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
father ` delighted to watch his daughter playing her heart out | :20:11. | :20:19. | |
in search of Commonwealth gold. Stacey Francis is a key part | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
of the English netball team's defence, but dad Kevin was more used | :20:23. | :20:24. | |
to scoring than stopping. For three years in the 1990s he was | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
a crowd favourite at Birmingham City Now he's learning what it's | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
like to be on the sidelines rather It was awesome. It one of those | :20:31. | :20:44. | |
things that until it happens you don't realise how much it means to | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
you. As a sportsman myself, being there is second to none. Seen her | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
was second to none. Hopefully I have improved since | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
2009. It is really emotional. I had to make sure I was focusing on the | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
game and not trying to find my dad in the audience. Just focusing on | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
getting the job done so we could talk about it afterwards. | :21:08. | :21:08. | |
But the story is even more remarkable than that. | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
Kevin emigrated to Canada in 2005 to become a policeman. | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
Stacey, then 17, stayed behind to pursue her sporting dream. | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
I was prepared to drag her ticking and screaming, she put up a good | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
argument and stayed here. And she was true to her word, she focused on | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
education and sport, and it has paid dividends because she is here | :21:30. | :21:30. | |
today. The only problem is, Kevin will have | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
returned to Canada before the final. So if Stacey does win gold he'll | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
have to get up in the middle But there's been disappointment | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
for the Wolverhampton Gymnast Yes, he won a team gold on Tuesday | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
and qualified for the final of the men?s floor but this afternoon | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
his misjudged this tumble. That cost him penalty points and he | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
finished 8th and last in the final. So with three days left, where might | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
other Midlands medals come from? Well, Kristian Thomas competes again | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
tomorrow in the finals And Jamie`Lea Winch | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
of Rugby is guaranteed at least a silver tomorrow in the final of | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
the women?s pairs in the bowling. Spitfire pilot, daredevil, | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
photo`journalist ` Terence Spencer When war ended he stole a camera | :22:17. | :22:31. | |
from the German air force and began photographing everything | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
from battlefields to The Beatles. His work captures the spirit | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
of the swinging ?60s ` and his daughter's put some of it | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
on show at a new gallery, as Giles Ace fighter pilot, | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
globetrotting photographer. He loved the natural ones, catching | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
people off guard. At her home near Shrewsbury | :22:55. | :23:05. | |
his daughter cherishes his photos and her memories of a father for | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
whom life was one big adventure. Somebody said he was Biggles and | :23:08. | :23:18. | |
James Bond rolled into one. He said the RAF set him up because he | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
learned to head for danger when everyone else was running away from | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
it. At Shrewsbury's old music | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
hall, newly re`invented as museum and art gallery there are | :23:32. | :23:32. | |
pictures of the conflicts he covered from Vietnam to the Congo ` | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
as well as scenes for the streets Isn't it wonderful to think that | :23:36. | :23:45. | |
back then they were tough guys and now they are sweet East End | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
grandfathers. The Fab four also loom large. It was | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
his daughter who told her dad she should be photographing them. | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
He followed them all around Britain, they were not famous then, so he got | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
some great photographs of them in their dressing rooms and fooling | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
around. He said that since it was my idea I should come along and meet | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
them. It was fabulous. Mary Poppins, Dick Van Dyke, it just | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
brings all that back to me. Name a celebrity from the 1960s and | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
he probably photographed them. So many iconic images. We are | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
celebrating his life and his work. He was a character. He worked hard | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
and he played hard. That's what people in that generation dead. | :24:35. | :24:45. | |
# Talking about my generation #. The photographs of terror and | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
Spencer are on show until the middle of August. There was welcome rain | :24:50. | :24:59. | |
for the gardens around. We can find out if there is more to come. | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
You can bridge what can on stand`by for the next few days at least. Not | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
everyone will see the rain, we will have some sunny spells, and by the | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
end of the weekend things are starting to turn a little windy. | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
This afternoon we had some showers working across the region and | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
reports of thunder and lightning in Warwickshire and Worcestershire this | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
afternoon. Cloud has been spilling in from the West for much of the | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
day. The last of the showers are clearing away and it will be a | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
pleasant evening. Overnight we have clear spells, saw temperatures will | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
drop a little particularly in rural spots. It is still not feeling cold | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
overnight and it will be a little humid. Tomorrow is a flip`flop from | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
today. We have low`pressure starting to take charge and that drives and | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
unsettled period of whether and when switch we will see by the end of the | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
weekend. The south`east got most of the showers, but tomorrow it will | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
stay dry for much of the day before the showers started piling through | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
the afternoon. Across the North and West we start with showers in the | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
morning and they will band together and become persistent rain. | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
Temperatures struggling under the cloud and rain. 17 up to 20 | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
Celsius. On Saturday we continue to see rain, it will be with us through | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
Friday night and into Saturday. Saturday is a grey, wet and | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
miserable day. The rain continues throughout the day. It will march | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
northwards. The good news is that by the time we get through to Sunday | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
things are looking better. It will be brighter, it will feel warmer. | :26:47. | :26:49. | |
But still unsettled next week. Israel says it won't stop | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
its attacks on Gaza until all the tunnels built by Palestinian | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
militants are destroyed. I'll be back | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
at ten o'clock with the latest on the lasting impact of the so called | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
"Trojan horse" plot to Islamify some | :27:07. | :27:10. |
