Concern over radicals recruited to fight in Syria. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
A five fold increase in counter terrorism arrests in the last year. | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
It is about being vigilant, adult families being aware that the young | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
person could be at risk and could be vulnerable. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
We'll ask a counter terrorism expert what can | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Downgraded in six months, anger from campaigners at Stafford | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Hospital as they learn paedhatric services will be reduced. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
There is no way that we are giving up. It is really important to us. | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
One man's scrapheap is another man's treasure ` | :00:46. | :00:47. | |

A victory to savour, League two Burton Albion revel | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
in knocking Premier League PPR out of the Capital One Cup. | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
To beat a Premiership club for the first time is another page hn | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
history. This is what the f`ns want to see, a bit of excitement. | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
And Autumn may not be too f`r away ` it may certainly have felt like it | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
in recent days but we're behng given a timely reminder soon that it's | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
still officially summer. Good news in the forecast still to cole. | :01:16. | :01:24. | |
Good evening. The head of counter`terrorism in the | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
West Midlands has revealed there's been a big rise | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
in the number of Syria`related terrorist cases. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
London and the West Midlands are seen as hotspots, and policd say | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
they've seen a five`fold increase in arrests since last year. | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Police are urging the community to get in touch if they belheve | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
young people are planning to fight with Jihadist groups in Syrha. | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
But Muslims here say they often don't know who's being radicalised. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Peter Wilson has been investigating. | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
Black flags and the black shirts of the Islamic State fighters. | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
They've captured territory hn Iraq and Syria, | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
They're also capturing hearts and minds from some of the xoung | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
Two men from Handsworth will be sentenced next month for johning | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
You have heard of this fivefold rise in investigations. We have seen | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
that, so proportionately, those investigations have gone up. I | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
cannot give exact figures for operational reasons but we have seen | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
a rise. The police admit th`t it is mainly centred in London and in the | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
West Midlands. In the first half of this year, 69 people were arrested, | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
a 50% increase in the numbers of people stopped at ports, and the | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
seizure of funds for terrorhst activities. Police say that | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
radicalisation is no longer being taken place by so`called hate | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
preachers, it is actually h`ppening inside people's homes. This is | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
because of that link to the Internet, the way that the xoung | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
person can sit in their bedroom anywhere in the country and access | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
material advertised online, internationally. | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
Junaid Hussein is 20 years old and from Birmingham. | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
He's one of at least 500 Brhtish youths who've travelled to Syria. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
He posts videos and messages encouraging others to | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
join him in Syria. At a Birlingham mosque they say that familids often | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
have no idea that their youngsters are being radicalised. | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
We live in a fast paced technological world. You can make | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
contact with people on Facebook on the Internet, and keep it all | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
secret, keep away from the family. And this is what we are seehng | :03:55. | :03:55. | |
happening now. This weekend the Ahmadiyya TK | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
community is gathering in H`mpshire. The Muslim sect is seen by some | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
as heretics. The 3,000 members here in the | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
West Midlands say they're concerned they, too, will be singled out | :04:04. | :04:13. | |
by Islamic State fighters. These are extremist organis`tions | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
that have no understanding of true Islam. My fear is that ISIS have | :04:22. | :04:33. | |
some influence in Pakistan `nd that could exasperate the alreadx bad | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
conditions that are against minorities. | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
Syria maybe far away but what happens there has | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
a big impact on the lives of many of our communities and incrdasingly | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
I'm joined now by Haras Rafhq from the Quilliam Foundation, | :04:47. | :04:59. | |
an organisation set up to challenge extremism. | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
Another call for people to contact police if they believe young people | :05:02. | :05:12. | |
are planning to fight with jihadists. How realistic is that? | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
As you mentioned in the package it is quite often the case that | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
friends, family and parents do not realise that somebody is getting | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
radicalised to the point whdre they might go and support a jihadist | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
group. Certainly, sometimes within councils and local authorithes, we | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
have to look at how we can build up resilience so that when you get | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
these messages of hatred indoctrinated on the youngsters | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
that they are able to push back This is something we should prevent | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
from happening, and it could be illegal. More needs to be done in | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
that area from a government level and societal level as well. What | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
lies behind increasing arrests? Is it better policing or more xoung | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
people becoming radicalised? It is a combination of those things. There | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
are two pastor the process. The first part is identifying pdople in | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
terms of revenge and, once they become classified as extremhst. The | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
Home Office and the police `nd agencies do some excellent work | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
there, and that is leading to more arrests. The bigger part, preventing | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
them from getting there and the first place, is something wd are not | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
doing enough. The police ard doing very well in the first part and at | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
community level, preventing youngsters from going down that path | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
and not challenging the narratives that are leading them down there. | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
And how do the government go about preventing that, is a progr`mme in | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
place working? I do not think it is working now. I think this government | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
has dropped the ball, certahnly since 2010`11, the previous | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
government made mistakes but at least they had a go. This government | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
is just focusing on looking at people once they are identified and | :07:11. | :07:11. | |
then providing interventions. Is spending more than ?200 | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
a night on a hotel acceptable The expenses claims running to | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
tens of thousands of pounds. Staff have been told that p`ediatric | :07:22. | :07:30. | |
services at Stafford Hospit`l will It means that seriously ill children | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
will be stabilised, before either being sent hole, | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
or taken to the University Hospital | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
of North Staffordshire. The announcement has angered many | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
of the campaigners who are camping at the hospital in protest | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
at plans to downgrade services. They've been there | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
for nearly six weeks Kevin Reide has spent | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
the evening with the protesters It's been almost six weeks | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
since these protestors moved onto Since then | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
the camp has grown with new marquees Local folk musicians providd | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
the atmosphere, but We will win in the end becatse we | :08:11. | :08:23. | |
have justice and righteousndss on our site. We are honest people. We | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
just want health services for our community. | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
In the coming years maternity services will close, as too | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
in all cases most patients having to travel further. | :08:35. | :08:44. | |
Lauren, Laura and Imogen are probably | :08:45. | :08:45. | |
I have to go to North Staffordshire because I have got hip problems and | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
it is very inconvenient, because we do not have a car. I think ht is bad | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
considering it is the Countx Down in Staffordshire. `` the countx town. | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
The government believes movhng services elsewhere | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
will improve the overall care in Staffordshire. | :09:07. | :09:07. | |
And the trust running Stafford hospital said it was no longer | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
clinically or financially vhable in its present form. | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
The claims are rejected by the protesters who last night | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
decided on an impromptu march to the hospital reception. | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
We all gave a round of appl`use just to show appreciation and gr`titude | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
and to show the staff that `lthough their management doesn't value them, | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
we certainly do, the communhty of Stafford. As you can see, spirits | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
have been high this evening, but it is a mild, late summer 's nhght and | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
the question is, will they be able to maintain this level of protest as | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
the nights draw in and the weather gets colder? It is a fair point But | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
there are people here who are pensioners, people taking c`ncer | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
treatment at the hospital, `nd they have got time on their hands and | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
they are prepared to stay. There is a hard`core of people here that are | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
willing to keep the camp manned and it will continue. Some people say | :10:09. | :10:20. | |
that they will stay, rain or shine. There is no way that we are giving | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
up. It is really important to us, to everybody in the area, that we have | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
a fully functioning hospital with all the necessary services. It is | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
disgusting what is happening at the moment. I just hope that evdrything | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
turns out, and we keep all of our services. This morning was the | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
beginning of the 42nd day, with a full English breakfast on offer for | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
those up early enough. For some work reckons, but for others, the | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
debate and the determination go on. An energy supplier that aims to | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
offer a cheaper alternative to the Extra`energy, is planning to locate | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
its headquarters in the citx and create up to 1,000 local jobs | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
over the next year. The company currently emploxs 2 0 | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
staff at its interim office Thousands of pounds worth | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
of trophies have been stolen from the National Motorcycld Museum | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
in Solihull. Over 100 trophies were taken | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
from display cabinets at the museum, after thieves broke | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
in at around 11pm last night. The museum says the trophies have | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
little scrap value, It's offering a ?20,000 rew`rd | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
for information leading to their recovery. | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
No bikes were taken. Stoke`on`Trent City Council has | :11:35. | :11:48. | |
confirmed it will not be exhibiting at the Chelsea flower show hn 2 15. | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
The authority had been crithcised for contributing ?400,000 towards | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
creating a garden and entertaining high profile guests. At the time, | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
the City Council had defenddd the decision saying that it gendrated | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
publicity and business for the city. The BBC has learned that thd | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
Chief Executive of West Midlands Ambulance Service has claimdd up to | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
?30,000 in hotel and transport Anthony Marsh also heads up the East | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
of England Ambulance Servicd. The expenses claims include hire | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
cars and ?200 a night hotels. Ben Godfrey has more | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
and joins us now. Anthony Marsh, we're told, | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
is paid ?232,000 a year to run both West Midlands Ambulance Service and | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
East of England Ambulance Sdrvice. We know that figure | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
because he's faced a barragd of criticism, including | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
from a Health Minister, who Now, through a Freedom of | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
Information request, we've learned that ` over the past 16 months ` | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
as he travels around the cotntry. He claimed more than ?10,000 | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
in hire car costs. He's often driven by someond else | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
so he can work en route. ?13,000 was spent on 92 hotdl | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
stays for meetings or conferences. And this, he's spent 20 nights | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
at the Pullman St Pancras Hotel The GMB union says it sends | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
an "appalling" They question how long Mr M`rsh can | :13:07. | :13:20. | |
continue to divide his time between the West Midlands | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
and the East of England, calling it And the Taxpayers' | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
Alliance has seized on the decision to stay in what many people may deem | :13:28. | :13:37. | |
expensive "high end" hotels. When the NHS is making savings and | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
they are falling on front lhne staff, doctors and nurses whll be | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
furious. It is outrageous to be spending this money on hotels and | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
restaurants. At a time when the NHS is under such stress. What has West | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
Midlands ambulance service said They say that it actually s`ves a | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
taxpayer ?130,000 because hd does not take up the salary of two chief | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
executives. They say that the lowest cost in hotels is always sotght and | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
that Mr Marsh 's entitled to allowances or ?3000, and th`t these | :14:21. | :14:20. | |
have not been claimed. Concern over radicals | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
recruited to fight in Syria. A five fold increase in counter | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
terrorism arrests in the last year. Shefali will be along shortly with | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
your detailed weather forec`st. I am with Worcester ladies `nd their | :14:34. | :14:45. | |
Rugby World Cup winners who have seen a dramatic rise in intdrest | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
since England lifted the trophy in France. | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
And the last straw, the slightly strange looking world | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
record breaker ` more than 3,000 scarecrows | :14:57. | :14:57. | |
To some they're a reminder of a bygone era, to others they re | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
But today more than 200 people came | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
from all over the country for the auction of 30 vintage cars. | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
But as Giles Latcham found out, most of the cars had seen better days. | :15:14. | :15:23. | |
Top gear it is not, but in ` field west of Shrewsbury stands a motoring | :15:24. | :15:32. | |
mausoleums. It is part of all British history and all of the | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
engineering that has been going on in the past. The gearboxes for this | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
car were made in Wolverhampton company and the engine, in this | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
case, came separately. I thhnk this one is the convertible. In 0952 | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
triumph Mayflower, complete with original leather seats. And so, the | :15:56. | :16:05. | |
auction began. 30 watts belonging to a lifelong British car enthtsiast | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
who stored them in a leaky barn hence the rust, but they ard all | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
part of the family. I have got stories attached to most of them, | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
they are old friends, most of these cars, yes. Let's move them on to | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
someone else who can enjoy them All told, they fetched ?12,000. In the | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
bargain basement and 1957 Hhllman Husky built in Coventry. Top of the | :16:33. | :16:46. | |
range, the Birmingham Bears what Austen A90 Atlantic. Simon came from | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
West Yorkshire to buy a Talbot Sunbeam, the car that his f`ther had | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
when he was a schoolboy. It was embarrassing at the time, btt that | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
was the car that I was taken to school in. Good only for parts, most | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
of them are now on their final journeys, but for some of them, they | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
live on, fuelled by motoring memories. | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
England's women rugby world cup winners are getting back to the day | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
job ` and in Worcester tonight there's a taster session for anyone | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
Our Sports Editor Nick Clitheroe is there. | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
So have many been inspired by the world champions? | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
They absolutely have. You c`n see the Worcester ladies training | :17:30. | :17:39. | |
session. Plenty of activity. We will speak to some World Cup winners in a | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
moment. First, another causd for celebration. | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
But first another cause for celebration because | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
Burton Albion's fantastic start to the season continued with vhctory | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
over Premier League QPR in the League Cup last night. | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
The manager Gary Rowett described the League Two side's performance | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
They came to the Pirelli St`dium full of hope. | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
After all Burton are unbeatdn in the league so far this sdason | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
while Harry Redknapp's QPR team are still looking for their first | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
The difference in confidencd levels showed as Burton put their visitors | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
under immense pressure throtghout but it took until 13 minutes from | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
Adam McGurk's fine free`kick was the signal | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
The Brewers had knocked Chalpionship Wigan out in the last round but this | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
Really proud of the players and the effort that they put in. Not for the | :18:23. | :18:33. | |
first time this season. We knocked out Wigan Athletic in the fhrst | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
round. We have had to do twhce. Two knockout Premier League opponents in | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
the way that we did, by cre`ting lots of chances, limiting them to | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
very few, obviously, it fills me with pride and satisfaction this | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
morning. We have seen some good games from Burton Albion ovdr the | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
past couple of years but to beat a Premier League side, this whll be | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
what the fans want to see, ` bit of excitement, and that is what they | :19:02. | :19:02. | |
saw last night. They've had a nasty habit | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
of losing to lower league shdes in the cups recently and that continued | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
as Leyton Orient won at Villa Park. Romain Vincelot scored the winner | :19:10. | :19:21. | |
three minutes from time. Stoke City never looked in danger | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
of the same fate. They took the lead through | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
Jon Walters early on against League Two side Portsmouth | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
at the Britannia Stadium. Walters got a second right `t | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
the start of the second half before Peter Crouch rounded off a very | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
comfortable night for the Potters. Stoke will now play Sunderl`nd | :19:34. | :19:35. | |

as three quick goals in the last 14 minutes ensured there | :19:43. | :19:44. | |

have inspired my daughter to go along to whatever local rugby club | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
it might be, which is amazing. To get out there and just enjox what it | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
is to play team sports. And everything that brings, the | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
camaraderie and the chance to meet people and do some amazing things. | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
There were amazing six World Cup winners at Worcester ladies. You | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
were in Birmingham today. The interest that it is still gdnerating | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
is amazing, isn't it? There has been so much publicity and focus on us, | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
it has been fantastic. And ` number of people coming forward to play | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
were miserable, as a result. Yes, lots of people have said thdy want | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
to get involved and that we have been an inspiration. It is `mazing. | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
Is it still sinking in? It hs, but it is going to take a while. You are | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
still watching the World Cup trophy very proudly. You have seen more | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
people coming along and you could field more teams in future. Yes | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
that is what we heard, becatse that will mean more competition for | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
places and that will filter through to the top. It is fantastic for | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
Bristol Rugby club and again. And some of you could be going | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
professional, playing rugby sevens. Definitely, those girls could get | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
fundamental skills training. So it is a great thing for the gale, as a | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
whole. You are coaching the backs, I will let you go and do the training | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
session. It has been a fant`stic title to win, and everyone hs so | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
excited that having all of these World Cup winners in the te`m, and | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
the interest it has generatdd from women of all ages who want to get | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
involved in rugby in the future on a lovely night at Worcester, it is a | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
joy to be here, and seedy in interior is generated by th`t Rugby | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
World Cup win. `` and see the enthusiasm generated. You c`n see | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
more about those World Cup winners on our Facebook page. And there is | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
an interview with Diana frol Shropshire who was on the great | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
British baked of. She has ldft the programme. She felt ill before the | :22:41. | :22:51. | |
filming of the fifth episodd. It has taken 11 years for this record to be | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
beaten but they have finallx done it today in Staffordshire. The National | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
farm adventure park has been building scarecrows all sumler, and | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
now there are thousands of them throughout the park. One by one | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
their numbers grew. Silentlx, and sinister. Scarecrows? 3311 of them, | :23:11. | :23:21. | |
to be exact, and organisers hope to snatch the record from its current | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
holders in Cincinnati, and bring it to Burton on Trent. We will be | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
looking at scarecrow number 331 , which will surpass the world record. | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
We will keep them until the 7th of September. Anyone that comes along | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
can have a go at building a scarecrow and be a part of the new | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
world record. This summer, people have been getting involved by making | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
their own scarecrows. It is not your usual holiday activity. We will make | :23:52. | :24:02. | |
it like you see it on TV. I got some skeleton leggings with a bl`ck | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
T`shirt. And I designed a monster face. And so, to the record breaking | :24:07. | :24:15. | |
attempt. This was scarecrow number 3312. And once he's in placd, the | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
record is broken. They hoped to make 3000 by the middle of Septelber | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
Staff are thrilled to have trashed that target. To start with H did not | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
think we could make it but `s we got closer to it, there was a | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
realisation that we could do it and we have done it today, which is | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
brilliant. We'll carry on and see if can snatch it even more. Thdy have | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
been busy year today and here are a couple of faces you might rdcognise, | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
the colourful tie and the bdautiful smile, so, from Nick, from Lary Ann | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
from me, it is back to the studio. `` and from me. Any truth in the | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
rumours of summer returning? It will not happen until thd middle | :25:03. | :25:12. | |
of next week when high pressure takes a firm hold. Before the week | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
is out, we still run the risk of encountering some showers and some | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
rain. Tomorrow maybe a little cooler. Temperatures should then be | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
gradually rising. Into the liddle of next week, as well. It is this deep | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
area of low pressure that whll affect weather over the comhng days. | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
It brings in this impressivd formation of whether France leading | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
to temporary disruption tomorrow. Once that clears, high pressure is | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
taking over by Sunday. And the showers will be kept to a mhnimum on | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
Sunday. Most of that activity to the north and west. We start of the | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
night with clear skies. Temperatures at a minimum of 12 Celsius for most | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
places. Then we will see cloud thickening from the West, producing | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
these showers which will st`rt to move eastwards during the course of | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
tomorrow. Tomorrow, showers and cloud around, with lots of | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
brightness in between. But ht is a cool day with the wind pickhng up | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
from a south`westerly direction Temperatures around 17 Celshus in | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
the North, and 19 in the Sotth. Those showers continue to r`ttle | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
eastwards until tomorrow night when they finally show some signs of | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
dying away. Temperatures falling to a minimum of 12 Celsius agahn. For | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
Saturday, we will see some showers down to a minimum. Focused `round | :26:45. | :26:52. | |
the north and west of the rdgion. And that high pressure will take | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
charge after that. The headlines from the BBC tonight, a blow for the | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
Conservatives as a Tory MP defects to UKIP. And concern over a fivefold | :27:05. | :27:12. | |
increase in counter terrorism arrests over the last year. That's | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
all for now. Hope you have ` good evening. | :27:19. | :27:20. |
