The government has today given the go-ahead for a new village | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
of three and a half thousand homes in South Warwickshire. | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
It'll be built on Long Marston Airfield, near Stratford-upon-Avon. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
But, as Peter Wilson reports, there's opposition from current | :00:16. | :00:16. | |
Three miles south of Stratford. Now the government wants to turn Long | :00:17. | :00:40. | |
Marston Airfield into one of its planned garden villages with more | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
than 3000 homes. We are very pleased it has gone through. We were | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
expecting it to go through at the end of November but we will have | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
something that is more rubble to look at, more road infrastructure, | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
rail infrastructure that we wouldn't have otherwise. It includes one of | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
the country's fuel drag racing strips. Every day 40 light aircraft | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
use their airfield. You have motor gliding, aviators at the top and | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
they will have to move somewhere else. People won't be able to fly | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
locally. It is famous for its Bulldog Bash music festival. Now, | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
along with the other activities, and organisations based here, all are | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
looking for a new location will stop we have the microlights that fly and | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
the field like drag racing. There is the field like drag racing. There is | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
only two strips now in the country and this is one of them. It will | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
affect a lot of people in many ways and to find another site will be | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
damn near impossible. The garden villages ambitious and includes | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
plans for two primary schools, high school and a ?30 million road scheme | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
to be paid for by the developers. Along with more than 3000 homes | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
planned for the airfield site, more than 4000 jobs will also be created. | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
A woman's died after a New Year's Day house fire. | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
Fire crews were called to Fourth Avenue at Bordesley Green | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
in Birmingham, just after seven o'clock yesterday morning. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
West Midlands Police say a 54-year-old woman | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
The fire's not being treated as suspicious. | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
A man's appeared in court after a stabbing at a Birmingham | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
A 20-year-old man suffered a serious shoulder | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
injury in the attack at the | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
49-year-old Paul Masters, from Yardley, appeared before | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
magistrates this morning charged with wounding with intent to cause | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
He was remanded in custody until the 1st of February. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
Dudley has been singled out in a national report | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
It comes after the borough has introduced ten outdoor gyms. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
Experts say not only have they helped people get fitter, | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
but are also credited with a reduction in crime. | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
Currently there are around 40,000 users and crime | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
There has been some unforeseen benefits around social cohesion, | :03:06. | :03:21. | |
Anti-Social Behaviour Orders and the pick-up from exercise on | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
prescription throughout primary care. We have had a lot of feedback | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
from the public about how they felt safe in these parks and how they | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
have managed to bring the city back together. Willie positive outcomes. | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
He's been called one of the most important British footballers | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
of the 20th century, playing for Stoke City and England . | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
But Frank Soo, the first non-white person to play for England, | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
has been largely overlooked in the history of English football. | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
Now a new book tells the story of his life and career. | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
He was a household name in the 1930s and 40s. | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
His biographer said he was up there with the greats. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
So it's something of a mystery that Frank Soo has been all but forgotten | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
During his lifetime, he was recognised to be as equal | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
to Stanley Matthews, Tommy Lawton, Billy | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Anybody that knows about football knows that they are the greats. | :04:11. | :04:20. | |
Frank Soo was with Stanley Matthews at Stoke City. | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
He also played alongside him at England wearing the number six. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
During the war, he joined the RAF and played as a guest player | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
at other clubs including Chelsea, Brentford and Millwall. | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
But Frank Soo was half Chinese, the first non-white player | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
His family believe he's been overlooked because of his ethnicity. | :04:38. | :04:47. | |
Growing up, it was the one thing that we all clung onto. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Our great uncle playing football for England. | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
It's a little bit frustrating when you are that great niece | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
of a man who played for England and he's the first Asian player | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
to play for the national side and yet he doesn't | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
The more I learned about him and his life and achievements | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
throughout his career, I feel he is an important figure | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
in his own right irrespective of his ethnic background. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
He was actually one of the most important figures in 20th century | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
Frank Soo spent the rest of his career after the war coaching, | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
He died in 1991, largely unknown in his home country. | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
Susan Gardner hoped her account of his life story will get him | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
Onto football and in the Premier League, | :05:30. | :05:48. | |
West Bromwich Albion beat Hull City 3-1 at the Hawthorns. | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
In the Championship it was a mostly disappointing day for our teams. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
Birmingham lost 3-1 at home to Brentford | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
despite taking the lead, Burton also lost at home 1-0 | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
to Preston North end, Aston Villa lost 1-0 away | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
at Cardiff City and it was 0-0 between Sheffield | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
In League One, Coventry drew two all at home to Bolton, | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
Port Vale drew 0-0 away at Oldham, Shrewsbury town lost at home, | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
1-0 against Fleetwood and Walsall also lost at home 2-0 to Rochdale. | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
And in League Two, Cheltenham Town lost 2-0 away at Colchester. | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
Time for a look at the weather now, here's Shefali. | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
Very good evening and a happy New Year. It is as though we have been | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
drawn out of the darkness into the light after yesterday's dull and | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
dreary conditions. We had some brilliant blue skies. It wasn't | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
anything but scorching today. We had a hard frost this morning. | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
Temperatures struggled to reach for Celsius. This is how the rest of the | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
week is panning out. It will be largely settled with some frosty | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
nights. At the weekend, it is turning milder and unsettled. We | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
have high pressure dominating to the west and it is minimising these | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
weather fronts. We get more in the way of cloud tomorrow and we have | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
brilliant blue skies. Through this evening, we have clear skies and | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
temperatures are beginning to plummet. They will be down 2-2 C the | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
towns and cities. In rural sheltered spots, temperatures are lower. Ahead | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
of that weather front, a bit of cloud to the North keeping those | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
temperatures above freezing and into tomorrow, the clouds slips | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
southwards. There is the odd spot of rain as well. There is sunshine and | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
further south and that frost disappear with temperatures rising | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
to six Celsius. It will be milder tomorrow night with temperatures | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
above freezing. Back to sunshine and blue sky for Wednesday and Thursday. | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
Good evening. It has been turning colder and clearer and our weather | :07:54. | :08:14. | |
watchers have been capturing the sunshine. Here is the scene in | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
Derbyshire and where we have had the clear skies by day, we are in for a | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
cold night tonight. Temperatures already plummeting, particularly | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
towards the south with some icy stretches across parts of central | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
and southern England, and into Wales. For the north-west, not as | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
cold, as we have the cloud building. But to the south we could see | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
temperatures down to minus four or five first thing Tuesday morning. If | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
you have a commute back to work, bear in mind you will have to scrape | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
the car and there could be the odd patch of mist and freezing fog. But | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
many of us staying dry. More cloud in the north and west. | :08:55. | :08:56. |
