Hello, and welcome to Midlands Today. | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
A poignant discovery ` lost graves of soldiers from the First World War | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
We have managed to turn this place around from an abandoned jungle to | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
almost perfection. As towns and villages across | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Midlands prepare to take part in Royal British Legion's Lights Out | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
event, we'll be live in Ironbridge. 100 years since the outbreak | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
of the Great War, we'll be reflecting on how other parts | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
of our region are remembering. Also tonight, a poor reception ` | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
what's being done to help communities where you have to be | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
very mobile to get a signal. I don't have my phone, I don't bring | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
it out because it rarely works. Uphill struggle ` we join charity | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
sprout nudger Stuart as he inches I've got no skin left on my knees, | :00:51. | :01:00. | |
it has been tough so just to get to the end and see the crowd is | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
fantastic. And something for everyone this week | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
` sunny spells, heavy rain, I'll have all the details | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
for the week ahead later on. We begin our special World War One | :01:08. | :01:17. | |
anniversary coverage with the story of the forgotten graves, | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
belonging to soldiers who lost They were uncovered by ex`servicemen | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
in the Black Country, carrying out restoration work at | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
St Peter's Church in Cradley. Today, the men who gave | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
their lives were remembered Today's service began with | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
a procession in A lone piper setting the tone | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
before some sombre words from We remember those who were killed in | :01:44. | :02:00. | |
action or by disease. We remember the bereaved, the last, the | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
shattered families, the wounded, the maimed and injured, and those who | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
held in Thailand's unspeakable memories of warfare. `` held in | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
silence. This year is particularly poignant | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
after a century's passing, but in Cradley even more so, | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
because at last forgotten men could They had been lost here | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
in the undergrowth, until local ex`servicemen set | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
about uncovering their graves. Just over a year | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
ago this whole area was overgrown Some described it as a jungle, | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
and they were only expecting to Most were in their twenties | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
when they died, and for John and Dennis Rose from Netherton, | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
today was particularly moving. At last they could see | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
their grandad's grave. She wouldn't say a lot, and when he | :02:43. | :02:55. | |
invested, he wasn't called up, he enlisted and went out to France. He | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
did come back a couple of times, and Gran always said he was covered in | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
life and she had to delay the same. He was killed on the 23rd of August | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
1916. It never occurred to me I was born on the day he was killed. | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Norman Catton organised the work with help from the community payback | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
Absolutely fabulous. The lads from the Probation Service really worked | :03:19. | :03:29. | |
hard. I have had a few other volunteers who have been coming on | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
Saturdays, and really, this place is clean compared to how it looks the | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
first time I went to that part of the graveyard. | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
117 men from Cradley lost their lives in the Great War. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Today all their names were called out, including those | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
Between 10pm and 11pm this evening, the Royal British Legion's Lights | :03:48. | :03:56. | |
Out event will involve households, businesses | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
and public buildings across the UK turning out their lights, to leave | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
The event was inspired by the words of wartime Foreign Secretary Sir | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
Edward Grey, who said, "The lamps are going out all over Europe. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime." | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
This evening we're live at Birmingham Cathedral | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
and the Ironbridge Gorge Museum, but first, Bob Hockenhull reports | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
on the tribute being paid at Europe's largest Hindu temple. | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
It may look like India, but the Balaji Temple is | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
And today, candles were lit here to remember those who made | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
We'll stand silently in commemoration | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
of those people who lost their lives for saving the world. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
1.5 million Indians fought for the British in the Great War. | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
75,000 died, a loss keenly felt by the guest of honour | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
Within six weeks, one third of the soldiers fighting in Northern | :04:56. | :05:03. | |
France were actually from India and that number grew from 130,000`odd | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
All the lights in the temple in Tividale will be extinguished | :05:10. | :05:20. | |
Only the candle of hope will stay lit, a symbol | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
In 1914, people younger than me or as young as me were in the trenches, | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
shooting, getting killed, and it's quite a scary thought and a lesson | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
we all should learn from, it is a lesson we believe we should learn | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
Indians fought for Britain all over the world, | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
from the trenches of Europe to the deserts of Africa, but here at the | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
temple they are anxious to ensure it is not just their sacrifices that | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
The temple has seven Faith Hills, representing seven | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
Representatives from those faiths took part | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
After all, as one of those attending said, a bullet doesn't recognise | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
Let's go live now to Blists Hill, the Victorian town at the heart | :06:08. | :06:20. | |
of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum in Shropshire. | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
The lights being turned out there tonight will be gaslight. | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
Nicola, what else is happening tonight? | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
The streets here will be very busy tonight. Let's find out a little bit | :06:33. | :06:42. | |
more from Paul Gossage from the museum. What will be going on? We | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
are welcoming our volunteers as part of commemorations. They have been | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
putting on an exhibition looking at the post service during World War I | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
and all our volunteers will be writing postcards in the guise of | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
someone fighting or someone at home writing to their loved ones, and | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
then we will bring these together, stand in a circle and lead them `` | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
and read them aloud. You have also brought some literature. Can you | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
tell me about that? This is about our exhibition we have put on along | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
with the British Postal Museum and it is a variety of letters and | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
documents. This is a battlefield well. When this soldier was looking | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
at all his possessions, his most prized possession that he left to | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
his girlfriend was his aspidistra plant. Tonight everyone will be | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
gathering. Tell me more. They will read out what their ideas are from | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
the fighting front, then we will turn the lights out in memory of | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
that wonderful speech, the lamps are going out across Europe. Thank you, | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
Paul. I hope you can join us later on at 10:25pm, when we will join | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
everyone here to find out how they will be commemorating. | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
The Lights Out commemoration has even found | :08:08. | :08:08. | |
its way onto that cornerstone of British life, The Archers, | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
In a special episode tonight, pupils from a school in Worcester | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
take centre stage as the long`running radio soap marks the | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
And as Giles Latcham reports, it's a school with reasons | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
# While your hearts are yearning... | :08:22. | :08:34. | |
Echoing down the decades, youngsters from King's School | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
Worcester breath new life into an old song, at the request of the BBC. | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
We were asked by the producer a few weeks ago to provide a choir | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
to play the role of the local school choir in a service in an episode of | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
The Archers in which a choir will sing Keep The Home Fires Burning. | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
The song was hugely popular among families waving fathers | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
This recording of it is at the heart of tonight's special | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
In the '50s and '60s we used to go out on location quite a lot | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
and record in local churches and it seemed like a nice idea to | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
commemorate the anniversary of the First World War by coming out again, | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
and hopefully in 50 years' time, when these young students are | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
grandparents, they might remember that 50 years | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
earlier they were there recording an episode of The Archers on the | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
On the walls of College Hall, a reminder of the sacrifices made | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
by old boys of the school ` and in particular, one family. | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
The Wilmots were five brothers, all of whom fought in the | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
The boys wrote home regularly to their mother Kitty, | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
and modern`day pupils are now busy scouring their letters for insights | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
into life in the trenches and for the family back home. | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
They were living on the edge, really, | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
not knowing what would happen, if they would ever see them again. | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
It's quite sad in a way, reading letters, | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
people saying they're all right when you know that later on, they're | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
They're not allowed to put their position, where they are in | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
the country, so he's talking to his mum in codes, saying, I am where I | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
When they're talking about trenches that are waist deep in mud, | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
you start to think about how you would deal with that, and Christmas | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
# They were summoned from the hillside... | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
82 old boys lost their lives in World War One. | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
Perhaps in this song, their loved ones found some relief | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
And that episode of The Archers featuring the choir from Kings | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
School, Worcester, follows Midlands Today just after 7pm on Radio 4. | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
Giles is at Birmingham Cathedral for us now, where a candlelight vigil | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
Giles, what have people been telling you as they arrive there? | :11:04. | :11:12. | |
Some have come here because it is a family thing, members of their | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
family served in the war, others served in later conflicts and others | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
simply wanted to take part in a collective act on this day, perhaps | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
an act of remembrance. The vigil began just over an hour ago and goes | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
on until 11pm. With us is the Dean of Birmingham. I described it as an | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
act of remembrance. Yes, many people are remember ring on behalf of | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
family members, but we are taking a moment to pause and reflect and | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
think about how these enormous events have effected us over the | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
years. Why remembrance? It is important to look back and on the | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
sacrifice of each individual person, every family, every community, was | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
affected by the trauma and tragedy of this war, but I think also we | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
need to bring it up to date because the world is still at war in many | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
ways and we need each one of us to think about how am I making peace in | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
my life? Thank you for speaking to us. You were speaking earlier to one | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
member of the congregation who said her great`grandfather joined up at | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
17 and he said the war was crying like babies in the trenches. The | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
bells are ringing as a sign of Bonnie and grief and all are welcome | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
tonight. You can email them to | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
midlandstoday @bbc.co.uk, upload them to our Facebook page, | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
or tweet @bbcmtd. Good to have you with | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
us this evening. In pole position, | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
celebrating our Commonwealth Games And what led a violinist to lend | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
his ?1 million Stradivarius to There are more than 82 million | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
mobile phones operating in the UK, but in many rural parts | :13:09. | :13:19. | |
of the Midlands, The government has launched a | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
project to improve network coverage, but it's still not clear which | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
areas will get help ` and when. Phil McCann reports from | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
the Staffordshire Peak District. You can forget surfing | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
the internet or watching But in the 21st century, should you | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
really have to forget making calls A few hundred people live here | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
in Longnor, and they have to. No, I don't bring it out | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
because it rarely works anyway. Just dead, | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
constantly searching for a signal and until you get one or two bars, | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
it might connect and then if it Here in Longnor, | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
apparently this is the only place You can send a text | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
and possibly make a very short phone Despite all this, Mark tries to | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
run an IT company in the village. We have a transmitter | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
which was provided by the cellular operator, which does | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
give us a very short range mobile And in the village shop, | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
it's hitting their profits It stopped me from having certain | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
facilities for my customers like scratchcards and delivery | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
services because all the systems run In Shropshire, 7% of the county | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
can't get a mobile signal at all. It's 5% in Herefordshire, | :14:40. | :14:51. | |
and 2% here in Staffordshire. So the government's spending ?150 | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
million to build new masts for the networks so they can plug | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
some of those gaps. But getting planning permission and | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
buying land here is taking time. I hope we can role it out | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
as quickly as possible but we have to do it in a way that | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
respects the countryside and the last thing I want to see is mobile | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
phone masts going up all up and down So for the time being, | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
if you want to get hold of anyone The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
has been described as the best in history after last night's | :15:24. | :15:32. | |
spectacular closing ceremony. It's also been a fantastic Games | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
for the Midlands. Dan's here to bring us some | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
of the highlights Yes, you are looking at the faces of | :15:39. | :15:53. | |
the Midlands medallists. We won 41 medals in Glasgow and the here. We | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
won the first gold of the games with Judy Stimson winning the women's | :16:00. | :16:09. | |
triathlon. That's back Judy Stimson. Jodie Stimson of England wins the | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
first goal of the game. I've got to thank so many people, they really | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
got me through, it's awesome. Awesome indeed. She also won gold in | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
the team event. Another of our stars was at PD from Uttoxeter who won two | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
golds and a silver. `` Adam PD. He was able to go home as well and | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
turned up when our reporter was reporting for last Wednesday's lunch | :16:42. | :16:50. | |
time programme. How tired you? I had no sleep. They are here to give you | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
a hug, I don't want to stand in your way. Here he is, Adam. The pride of | :16:59. | :17:08. | |
parents. The Midlands also had success in athletics. | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
If you want to know how good it feels to win a silver | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
in the long jump, then watch Stoke's Jazmin Sawyers celebrate | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
And sometimes the raw emotions flooded out. | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
When Oldbury Wrestler Chinu Singh secured a bronze medal, | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
He just couldn't hold back the tears. | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
Those are just a selection of highlights. | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
Well, the Midlands won 15 gold medals, 15 silvers and 11 bronze. | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
If the Midlands was a country, we'd have finished sixth in | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
the medal table, just behind India and just in front of New Zealand. | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
It certainly has. Thanks, Dan. Glasgow has one universal praise for | :17:46. | :17:57. | |
the games. One of the key components | :17:58. | :18:06. | |
were the 15,000 games volunteers One of them was Matthew Bowater, | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
from Birmingham, It is being emotional from start to | :18:10. | :18:19. | |
finish, a year I go from when I first applied until the closing | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
ceremony was emotional. I am a volunteer for a helping | :18:22. | :18:31. | |
Sharon Tate and it seemed a chance to help others. `` a helping | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
charity. I had seen the Olympics in London and it seemed a chance to | :18:38. | :18:38. | |
recreate that. A lot has been made of Glasgow's | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
friendliness. Very much so, Glaswegians are so | :18:42. | :18:52. | |
nice, the atmosphere from day one, the people I work with were just | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
really top people. Sounds like south of the border you were welcomed with | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
open ours. What were you doing yesterday? I was working with | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
spectator services, doing the microphone, ticket checks and stuff | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
like that, so I got to see quite a few athletes coming in and out, | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
seeing a loss. Full. You don't get paid for this, do you? You must want | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
to do it. I saved up to fund it, so it was quite hard to get the time | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
and stuff like that to do it. But that whole ethos of volunteering is | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
something you would recommend? Definitely. The country needs more | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
volunteers, people struggle and charities and organisations, so it | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
is a big ethos to volunteer. Thank you, Matthew, and thank you for | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
flying the flag for people in the Midlands. | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
It must be every violinist's dream ` to play on | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
He's just 18, but the owner of the rare violin, | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
John Ludlow, who is in his 80s, was so struck by the parallels between | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
They are both from Edgbaston, were both at the same school and both | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
It's not often you get asked to look after ?1 million. | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
But that's how much Roberto Ruisi is handling every time he plays | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
I remember it being quite a terrifying moment, the handover | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
itself, suddenly being left with it as well, I kind of went to | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
the shops the next day and thought, oh, I've left the Strad at home. | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
Roberto, who's from Birmingham, is the leader of the National Youth | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
Orchestra and has been lent the rare Stradivarius, which dates | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
back to the 1680s, for a series of special concerts this week. | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
The sound radiates around the whole building and you don't | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
even have to try very hard, there's just something very innate about | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
So just who would give an 18`year`old | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
Now 83, John was the first ever leader of the National | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
He's a wonderful young man, a very good fiddle player, | :21:06. | :21:14. | |
a much better fiddle player now than I ever was, and I respect him | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
Despite John being 65 years older than Roberto, the similarities | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
Both were born in Edgbaston in Birmingham, | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
less than a mile and a half apart, both went to the same school and | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
of course, both became leaders of the National Youth Orchestra. | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
Roberto will use the violin for three performances, | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
including one at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham on Saturday night, | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
and a few weeks later, he'll hand it back and return to his | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
own violin, which is worth a mere couple of hundred thousand pounds. | :21:47. | :21:59. | |
That is one lucky young man. Now, it has to be one of the most unusual | :22:00. | :22:11. | |
fundraising challenges. Making | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
the ascent to the peak of Snowdon, on your hands and knees, pushing a | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
spout all the way, with your nose. But that's exactly what | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
Stuart Kertel from Balsall Common has managed to do, | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support. Our reporter Amy Cole joined him, | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
in the mist, on Wales' highest mountain, | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
to witness his remarkable feat. Magnificent and imposing, | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
a real challenge for any walker. Somewhere on Snowdon there is | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
a man on his hands and knees pushing I'm going to try to find him, but if | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
you think I'm walking, think again. As we chugged up the mountain, | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
I kept my eyes peeled I couldn't see him lurking behind | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
those walkers, so where was he? Then out of the mist, nose to the | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
ground at 3000 feet up, sprout man. My knees, | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
despite the kneepads I have blisters Very sore, aching, but people | :23:01. | :23:15. | |
have been amazing with donations. He started last Wednesday, | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
camping on the mountain overnight Supporting him | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
is longtime friend Richard. What's it like being Stuart's | :23:25. | :23:33. | |
official sprout supplier? I thought it would be quite fun | :23:34. | :23:35. | |
but it's been really wet, I don't really actually | :23:36. | :23:37. | |
like sprouts. Word of Stuart's challenge seemed | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
to be getting around Snowdon. And then, after four days | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
and 22 sprouts, he finally reached It's been the most gruelling | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
challenge I've ever done. Just to get to the end, | :23:53. | :24:03. | |
to see the obelisk Next year Stuart wants to walk from | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
France to England on the seabed. Just extraordinary. A mixed bag of | :24:08. | :24:25. | |
whether at the weekend so how is it shaping up? A little better than it | :24:26. | :24:34. | |
was. It will be another mixed bag as we head for the next few days. It is | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
not terrible weather of but not wall`to`wall sunshine. Tomorrow we | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
start with some sunny spells, not a bad start at cloud is lets up from | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
the south and with some rain, some of which will be heavy. Today we had | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
some patchy cloud which began to break up and then a little, it | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
brought some pokey showers through the afternoon. That cloud continues | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
to third and break overnight so it is not a bad end to the day and it | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
will be a nice night, calm and clear. Our temperatures will fall | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
away, a fresher and night than we have seen recently, down to lows of | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
nine Celsius in our towns and cities, cooler in countryside. Clear | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
skies overnight mean it is a lovely start to tomorrow, sunny spells | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
right through the morning, but it is not long before that cloud filters | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
up from the south, without a few showers. Not everyone will see them, | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
that cloud will break up and sun will come out, for some places it | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
will not be bad, but then through choose the night we had this area of | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
heavy rain working up from the south, some heavy pulses in there, | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
in the grip of low pressure so we are rather unsettled. Although | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
Tuesday evening ends with some clear spells, then this rain works is way | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
up. Heavy bursts in there and it could make the morning rush hour on | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
Wednesday a tricky drive. It lets temperatures a little overnight. | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
That rain with us through the morning but it eventually clears | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
away. When that they doesn't look too bad ones it has gone, sunny | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
spells, a few showers and staying unsettled through the rest of the | :26:16. | :26:26. | |
week. I'll be back at 10:25pm to bring you an extended edition of | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
today's commemorations. Finally tonight, if you saw | :26:30. | :26:33. | |

tribute to the millions who lost 5000 frozen statues were left to | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
simply melt away We leave you this evening with | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
some of the stunning images which | :26:44. | :26:47. |
