Potentially saving lives: how pioneering technology | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
from Birmingham University could spot concussion | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
You will have players who say, no, I'm fine, I'm fine, I want to go on. | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
You do this test, I think those questions go away. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
There's been a 15-year campaign to recognise | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
the link between dementia and heading a football. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Four people injured after a double decker bus crashes into a house | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
during the morning rush hour in Coventry. | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
It was 6:30, and we heard a very bang-bang noise, | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
No longer heading for landfill - how used nappies and tampons | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
From the wilds of the Yorkshire Moors to Herefordshire, | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
Shropshire and Worcestershire - on set filming | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
And, for some, the weather today was like something | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
But it's the vernal equinox, and that means the start of spring. | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
So can we expect warm temperatures and sunshine? | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
It's a risk faced by football players every time they take | :01:02. | :01:18. | |
to the pitch, but experts in Birmingham are now hoping | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
concussion could be identified in a matter of seconds | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
If their research is successful, it's hoped players could instead be | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
prevented from rejoining the game and risking more serious injury. | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
As Laura May McMullan reports, the technology is now | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
being looked at by at least one Premier League club. | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
Both appear, certainly in Dawson's case, to be out cold. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Injuries are part and parcel of the game, | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Evidence is mounting it can affect the brain. | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
This virtual reality device is called an Oculus Rift, | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
and something similar is currently being trialled at some college | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
soccer games in America with a neurosurgeon pitchside. | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
And along with clinical assessments, it can help to detect | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Dr Michael Grey has been conducting a trial with the device | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
for the last three years, and he's brought it along to show | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
Have a look at the whiteboard that's up here and | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
The idea of the test is getting the brain to do two | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
Someone with concussion would be off balance, | :02:38. | :02:47. | |
For somebody's that's healthy, that's one of the biggest | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
The club doctor isn't concussed, but a concussedd player would show | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
a clear mismatch with his balance and vision. | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
You will have players that say, no, I'm fine, I'm fine, I want to go on. | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
Do this test, or one like it, I think those questions go away. | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
You've had a go of the device yourself, do you think this | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
I think we're looking for functional tests that allow us | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
And technology such as that, it could potentially be very helpful. | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
With our virtual reality balance test, we're having | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
the brain do one thing, and then we challenge it | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
And it's only by doing this that we can see subtle changes that | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
might not show up any standard neurocognitive test. | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
In his day, Andy Gray, former Villa, Wolves and West Brom striker made | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
He too believes technology could help. | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
What football has no excuse about is embracing | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
It can't say, we don't have the money. | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
Paying millions and millions of pounds to footballers, | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
and then worrying very little about the health. | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
So, good football learned from other sports? | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
New rule changes have been introduced to reduce head injuries, | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
and every player now receives concussion training. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
The challenge is when we allow players to get back out on the pitch | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Because the next one, the same blow, may cause a more serious injury. | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
For current players and youngsters, just a few hundred pounds | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
on new technology could help to prevent | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
The family of former West Bromwich Albion star Jeff Astle | :04:46. | :04:55. | |
are calling on the football authorities to do more | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
to prevent players suffering serious head injuries. | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
Astle himself died 15 years ago at the age of 59, and a coroner | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
blamed dementia brought on by repeated trauma to the head. | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
His daughter Dawn recently had talks with the head of the PFA, | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Gordon Taylor, but walked out as she felt they weren't | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
putting enough pressure on football's governing bodies. | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
You can see more on this on Inside Out at 7:30 tonight, | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
It could have been so much worse - that's the verdict of emergency | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
workers after a bus crashed into a house in Coventry | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
Four people walked away from the scene with just minor | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
injuries after the bus collided with a car before smashing | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
Amazingly, the impact caused the whole house | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
Severely damaged throughout, the impact to this house on Keresley | :05:46. | :06:01. | |
Road in Coventry, after the number 16 bus ploughed into it at around | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
6:45am. I can't comment on the speed, but it | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
has knocked the building off its footing a couple of inches. So you | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
can imagine the force is required for that. | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
The bus was travelling from the city centre, and went straight across the | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
roundabout. You can still see the tyre marks embedded into the grass. | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
It carried on over the roundabout and ended up in the side of the | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
building on the other side of the road. There were only two passengers | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
on the driver on the bus at the time of the accident. Incredibly, all of | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
them escaped serious injury. My main thought was for the driver, | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
but he was all right. I was scared for him or than me. I thought, it | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
he's all right, anyone in the house, that's the main thing. I knew I was | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
all right because I was walking, it's I just wanted to make sure he | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
was all right. Next door, the property and the | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
family living there felt the effects of the crash too. | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
We heard a very bang-bang noise, and we were shocked. Without Sunday had | :07:09. | :07:18. | |
maybe hit our cars outside. And he's all there was a buzz inside the | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
house, and we were shocked. It was just a lot of shaking, the | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
whole house shaking. This afternoon, the owner of the | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
house will still coming to terms with what had happened. The upstairs | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
room hit by the bus was the children's bedroom. Actually, last | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
night, they were staying elsewhere. -- factly, last night, they were | :07:45. | :07:45. | |
staying elsewhere. Ben is still at the scene | :07:46. | :07:46. | |
in Coventry for us tonight. What's the latest | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
you can tell us, Ben? The house has been shored up behind | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
me. You can see it's been done like that to make sure it won't fall | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
down. They've been doing that all Dave. I can tell you at the time of | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
the accident, there was two cars, one was hit by the bus, and the | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
other one was driven by this man. Tell me what you know? | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
Basically, I was on that junction, next thing you know, there was a | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
black Discovery coming towards town. He then had the bus, it was control | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
of the vehicle, went flying over the islands, hit the black Discovery. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
Within seconds, I would have been hit and my life would have been | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
over. BMI passenger would have had no chance, will only in a little | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
Vauxhall Corsa, we wouldn't have survived. | :08:39. | :08:47. | |
I think it was lucky it was this time, and hour later, it would be | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
much worse. An hour and a half later, that bus | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
would been full of school kids. I used to get that school -- bus to | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
school, you talking hundreds of schoolkids. Rub in an instant, | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
you're talking about a disaster. I can tell you the investigation is | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
going underway, quarterly everyone involved is not injured badly at | :09:12. | :09:12. | |
all. A pensioner's been jailed for four | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
years after knocking down and killing a three-year-old girl | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
on a pedestrian crossing. Poppy-Arabella Rose Clarke | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
was walking across Chester Road in Boldmere in | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
Sutton Coldfield last July. Poppy died in hospital - her mother | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
Rachel was seriously injured. 72-year-old John Place admitted | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
causing death by dangerous driving. A security guard is in a critical | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
condition in hospital after he was beaten unconscious | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
at a factory in Brierley Hill. The 73-year-old was attacked | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
after he challenged an intruder at metal factory Stoke Forgings | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
in Vine Street yesterday afternoon. He was found by a colleague | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
around five hours later - Police are studying CCTV | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
and carrying out forensic Police are investigating | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
after a family's pet dog was killed Six-month old cocker spaniel Rorie | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
was hit while walking with his owner The family say two youths | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
on mopeds drove off despite attempts made by passers-by | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
to stop them. A funeral has taken place of a | :10:13. | :10:29. | |
leading campaigner in the 1984 minor's strike. Arthur Scargill | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
turns out to pay his respects to the 60 60. Mrs Proctor was a secretary | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
of the action group, and later became a city councillor. | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
House prices are on the rise and, according to research by the online | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
Estate Agents Rightmove, the growth's now being driven not | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
The company says the increase reflects growing interest | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
in the region, but also a shortage of properties in some price ranges. | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
Elizabeth Glinka has been taking a closer look | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
So, Elizabeth, this sounds like good news for the Midlands, | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
The increase reflects a buoyant market, | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
people are feeling confident, people are moving to the region | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
As we've heard in the past, the Midlands is now the number-one | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
location for 30 and 40-somethings relocating from London. | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
But, of course, it's not that simple. | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
Price rises can also reflect a shortage of supply. | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
Lets have a look at the the figures that Rightmove have put out today. | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
The average house price in England and Wales this month | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
is over 310,000, just a few hundred pounds under | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
the previous record, which was recorded in June last year. | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
The average here in the Midlands is, as you'd expect, lower - | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
But prices here are going up faster than almost anywhere else. | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
In fact, at 4.2%, we had the second-highest growth | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
rate in the country, behind the East Midlands. | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
And while we know London is mega-expensive - | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
their average is just under 650,000 - their prices are going up | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
at a much slower pace than ours, less than 1%. | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
So why do the experts think this is happening? | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
There's an increase in investment from businesses | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
There is an increase in confidence amongst buyers, | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
and there's an increase in confidence amongst sellers. | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
And also, in terms of mortgages, mortgages for those people who can | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
get them are a bit easier to get then they used to be years ago. | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
Now, perhaps they would say this as their living depends on it - | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
but agents in the Midlands told Rightmove they expect prices | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
to continue to rise in our region by between 4-5% over | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
The most expensive part of our region, that's Warwickshire, | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
where the average property price is now 286,000. | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
Now, we don't know what's going to happen with Brexit | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
But at the moment, it remains pretty competitive out there - | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
great if you own your home, not so good if you're trying to get | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
Now, if you're eating your tea - brace yourselves. | :13:12. | :13:20. | |
This isn't exactly the most fragrant of topics, but intriguing | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
A multi-million pound plant's opened in West Bromwich to recycle nappies, | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
The company running it says it's the first if its kind. | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
It'll stop thousands of tonnes of waste ending up in landfill | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
and instead turn it into fuel for power stations. | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
Our environment correspondent David Gregory-Kumar has | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
This is 50 tonnes of nappies, sanitary protection and incontinence | :13:46. | :14:00. | |
pads. In this country reduces a pile like this every three hours. This | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
waste has been put into the bin in your cubicle, toilet, or perhaps in | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
a nursery. That waste is being collected, but | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
difficulty is, where does it go? Was of it is going to landfill. | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
So this new recycling plant as part of a multi-million pound attempt to | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
devote this waste from landfill and turn it into something useful. So | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
first you had to shred the waist and use a magnet to get rid of all the | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
metal things you don't want. So all the metal things end up here. In the | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
past they have found handcuffs, forceps, and even a purse with a | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
passport in. Today, there's knife and fork in here for some reason. | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
Then you squeeze out all the liquid, and the result is a dryly bail ready | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
for burning in a power station. A process that is much less smelly | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
than I was expecting. What we're doing doesn't create any | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
extra odours, so we're managing and dampening the odours that are | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
created. This waste is wrong commercial | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
sites, offices and care homes. But in the future, Kidd has collected be | :15:14. | :15:22. | |
necessary -- the household collection be possible? | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
People didn't know what to do with this waste once was collected, now | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
we know what to do with it, this could be a great opportunity. | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
Back at the start, another six times have arrived, but it is six times | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
that won't be going to landfill. -- six tonnes that will be going to | :15:42. | :15:42. | |
landfill. Thanks for joining us | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
on Midlands Today, this Pioneering technology | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
at Birmingham University could spot concussion | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
in footballers almost instantly. Roller-coaster weather at the | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
moment, meant to be the official start of spring, Rebecca will make | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
sense of it later, I hope. As you quite rightly said, this is | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
the vernal equinox, marking the start of spring. But it looks at | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
no-one told the weather. Perfect for this chap this morning. Some might | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
be start of spring meteorologically, meaning that starts on March the | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
1st. Whatever your view, sunshine and warm temperatures wouldn't go | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
amiss. I'll be back with the forecast a little bit later. | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
How important are the buildings in the centre of our towns and cities? | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
For most people, they probably define a place, particularly if it's | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
blessed with ancient buildings steeped in tales of old. | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
Well, Coventry, with nearly 2000 years of known history, | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
has been chosen to be one of the first areas in the country | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
to be given the title of Heritage Action Zone. | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
The plan is to raise the city's image and profile | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
Commentary was famous for its medieval architecture before at the | :16:51. | :17:05. | |
devastation of the Second World War. Then it became famous for its | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
innovative post-war rebuild. The entire centre was completely | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
rebuilt, free from traffic, open and modern in spirit. | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
The decade has seen the fortunes of Coventry rise and fall. Now, the | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
inclusion of the city in a Heritage action zone aims to remind the | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
country of the hidden gems on our Street. | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
We hope this will be a catalyst to encourage people to do things in | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Coventry and appreciate the full depth of the heritage they have | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
here. The city's market building have | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
already been given listed status. But could the post-war precinct, | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
inspired by an Italian piazza, also benefit from listed status? | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
One of things we're going to be doing is looking at whether there | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
are other buildings worthy of listing, and if the is a | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
conservation Centre possible? This hopes to unite everyone that in | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
the potential of unlocking the potential of their own streets, | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
rather than creating something new. It's not about creating new stuff, | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
it is about hanging on to the good stuff, making a difference to real | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
buildings, like the ones were looking at here. Which have seen | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
better days, and could see better days again. | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
The architecture in Coventry has always been a talking point, whether | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
it's the concrete or the medieval. Coventrians already is know what has | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
won their hearts and minds. It may not be pretty, but it is a | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
start. Like anywhere, so it is good and | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
some of it is not so good. Coventrians are accustomed to | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
change, now they're leading the way in encouraging others to recognise | :18:57. | :18:57. | |
the heritage potential of the city. Onto sport, and Dan's | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
here to discuss the weekend action. A great win for Albion over | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
Arsenal - but are they getting Possibly not, as there is so much | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
talk about the future of There was even a banner flown | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
over the ground by plane But later there was another one | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
supporting him. But Albion were clinical | :19:20. | :19:29. | |
from corners, with Craig Dawson Albion are eighth in | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
the Premier League. Stoke City are just | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
a place below in ninth but they lost 2-1 to Chelsea due | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
to Tim Cahill's late winner. It was a great game and no disgrace | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
losing to the runaway leaders But let's hear from the Albion | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
goalscorer Craig Dawson. But, like said, | :19:47. | :19:58. | |
the delivery was great into the box, and, obviously, | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
it's a strength of ours. It's a great performance, | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
and important for us to bounce back and put in a great | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
shift, and it's massive In the Championship, | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
Aston Villa and Wolves Birmingham earned a good point | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
against the leaders Newcastle. But Burton Albion lost an 8-goal | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
thriller to slip closer Villa won their game | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
at Wigan with two goals First through James Chester, | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
and hen Scott Hogan to lift Steve Bruce's team to within 11 | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
points of the play-offs. Ivan Cavaleirho set | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
the ball rolling at Fulham. And two more in the second half | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
from Andi Weimann and Dave Edwards Nine points out of nine is well | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
worth blowing your own trumpet. # Oh, when the Wolves | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
got marching in...#. Which is exactly what happened | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
on the Tube, as Wolves fans Goalkeeper Thomas Kusack | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
was Birmingham's man of the match, with a string of fine saves | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
to keep a clean sheet In sharp contrast, Marvin Sordell | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
scored twice as Burton raced into a 3-1 half-time | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
lead against Brentford. But the visitors stormed | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
back after the break to grab four without reply | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
and win the game 5-3. It was a similar | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
story in League One, where Franck Moussa scored | :21:17. | :21:18. | |
twice to put Walsall But Southend had the last laugh, | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
with three goals in 20 minutes to boost their own play-off chances | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
at Walsall's expense. Sam Foley's opening goal helped | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
Port Vale to win their relegation Ryan Taylor doubled Vale's lead | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
before Louis Dodds gave the Shrews Tomorrow, Port Vale travel | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
to Coventry who lost again, And Cheltenham lost by the same | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
score to Cambridge in League Two. And we had two teams | :21:45. | :21:53. | |
involved in the semifinals of the FA Vase this weekend - | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
but sadly neither have No, Bromsgrove Sporting | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
and Coleshill Town fell just short. Bromsgrove were away | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
to Cleethorpes Town. They began level at 1-1, | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
but lost Saturday's game 1-0, so that's a 2-1 | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
defeat on aggregate. Coleshill trailed South Shields | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
2-1 after the home leg. This spectacular opening goal | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
from captain Julio Arca was the pick as South Shileds won 4-0 on the day, | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
6-1 on aggregate. Blues Ladies won through | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
the FA Cup quarterfinals. Let me take you away to a tale | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
of tempestuous love set in the wilds But - and this might | :22:31. | :22:39. | |
raise an eyebrow or two - this new film adaptation | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
of Wuthering Heights is actually being shot in the Midlands - | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
with scenes in Herefordshire, The director sold her house | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
to realise her dream of making the film, as our arts reporter | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
Satnam Rana has been finding out. About five miles from the Welsh | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
border lies the village The castle ruins look over | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
the village and I'm coming into the churchyard now, and a filming | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
crew has taken over. The Church of St Mary and St David | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
today, a film set for the adaptation of literary classic | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
Wuthering Heights. Here because of director | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
Elisaveta Abrahall, But isn't Emily Bronte's novel based | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
in the Yorkshire Moors? It would've cost us an absolute | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
fortune to schlep up The locality around here | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
really does lend itself We have a fantastic amount | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
of Shropshire hills - Cleehill is desolate | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
at the best of times - and it really has the same | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
sort of vibe. we hope that Yorkshire | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
will forgive us for that. What's more, this director has | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
raised the ?100,000 budget You can't always get | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
the job you want, can you? So you've got to make the job | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
you want sometimes, Filming has also taken place | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
across Shropshire, Worcstershire and Gloucestershire - | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
this, Chanvenage House. Opportunities have bene created | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
for local orgaisations - today, KC Horse Rescue | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
and, of course, locals It's nice to have something | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
like this going on in the village. It's totally different to | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
what we usually have going on here. I think it's very exciting, it's | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
such a lovely spot here in Kilpeck. And such a famous shurch, | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
so it's nice for it to be My wife sent a photo | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
of myself and the dog, and they said, yes, please, | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
we'll have the dog! And Cathy is played | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
by a Herefordshire actress too, It's been really relaxing, oddly - | :24:43. | :24:44. | |
I haven't had to do a thing. I fell asleep at one point, | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
so that was pretty good. Expect a host of emotions in this | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
film, which will be released in time for Emily Bronte's 200th birth | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
anniverary in July 2018. So, without any dithering, let's | :25:01. | :25:18. | |
scale the Wuthering Heights with Rebecca. | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
You've always reminded me of Heathcliff, I think it might be the | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
hair. The weather was slightly Bront -esque today, it was cold and | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
bleak, and it was wet. Through this afternoon, we begin to see the | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
clouds parting, and it was a pleasant end to the day. But it was | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
noticeably breezy, and that breeze is incredibly chilly. So as we head | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
through the week, we will see those strong gusts of wind continuing. And | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
we have rain to come by the end of the week as well. This was a rain | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
that crossed this morning. Behind that, the ice are packed closely | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
together and it is coming from a cold sores. Then we have this | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
weather system working its way in through Tuesday and Wednesday. The | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
high-pressure hopefully arriving by the end of the week to settle things | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
down. But for tonight, colder air, unsettled spells above us. It could | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
be wintry over the moorlands. Overnight we see temperatures | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
falling to freezing, so a cold but bright start to the day tomorrow. It | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
is bring, remember, so some sunshine to come, and it is strong. If you | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
get any shelter from the wind, you will notice that. But then these | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
scattered showers blow in from the West. They will be lively at times, | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
but moving quickly. Temperatures down on last week, seven Celsius | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
Lichaj. We moved through tomorrow, and we will see these showers | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
tomorrow. Heavy downpours there, but we start to see the temperatures | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
left a bit. So we start to see a change in wind direction. From | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
Wednesday, even though it is wetter, temperatures will improve. There | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
will be some sunshine at times, and by the end of the week, we will | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
start to see our temperatures do better and a little more settled. | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
I'll have the weather for the week ahead at 10:30pm, hope you can join | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
us then. That was the Midlands Today. I hope | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
you can join us this evening. Bye-bye. | :27:24. | :27:56. | |
The 24-year-old man has been charged with murder. | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
You made sure an innocent man is charged! | :28:00. | :28:02. | |
What gives you the right to say that he's innocent? | :28:03. | :28:04. | |
If police wrongdoing is part of this, I want to know. | :28:05. | :28:10. | |
Huntley's definitely hiding something. | :28:11. | :28:17. |
