for Mosul underway, there will have to be some follow-through. So what | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
comes next? Join Five elderly and disabled Sikhs have | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
reached a landmark deal, after they'd been made to sit behind | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
a partition in their As a mark of respect, | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Sikhs are usually required to sit on the floor of a Gurdwara, | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
but that just wasn't possible for those using walking | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
aids or wheelchairs. The five claimants, | :00:24. | :00:24. | |
including Malkit Singh, who has cerebral palsy, | :00:25. | :00:37. | |
have been forced to sit behind a partition in their Gurdwara | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
because they couldn't sit They say it's been | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
humiliating and upsetting. Upset, really. | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
Upset. The screen was like you were | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
sitting in a prison. On one side it was like you had | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
done something wrong. Like people would catch | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
what you've got. That's how we felt, | :01:03. | :01:03. | |
and it was very disturbing. I've been through stress, | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
depression, anxiety. The Gurdwara - | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
which is Wolverhampton's largest Sikh temple - | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
says it was following rules imposed But some worshippers say the blame | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
lies with those in charge. But our religion isn't that, | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
it's only this committee. It isn't on the Gurdwara, | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
it is on the committee. At the hearing today, | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
Judge Alistair Smail was keen that both sides reached a compromise | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
on a number of key points, which includes installing a best | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
to the first-floor prayer room in the next five months, | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
and completely getting rid of the petitions in the prayer room | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
and the dining hall But, again, they are always | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
trying to delay things. They put them up overnight, | :01:46. | :01:58. | |
within a couple of hours. I can't see why they couldn't | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
have taken them down The judge said he wants it | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
done properly, so he's allowed it for two weeks, | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
so that's fine. The Gurdwara's committee told | :02:08. | :02:08. | |
the BBC that it's glad to have reached an amicable settlement | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
and that it would continue to address the needs of the aged, | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
frail and the disabled. For the worshippers it's | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
a major step forward. Amy Cole, BBC Midlands | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
Today, Birmingham With just four days to go to polling | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
in the Stoke Central by-election, the Prime Minister lent her support | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
to the Conservative campaign today. Theresa May toured the Emma | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Bridgewater pottery factory, alongside candidate Jack Brereton, | :02:29. | :02:29. | |
with the message that it was her party that would deliver the Brexit | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
most people had voted for. Our Staffordshire reporter | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
Sian Grzeszczyk joins So, Sian, does this mean the party | :02:36. | :02:36. | |
is confident about winning? Well, the Prime Minister was keen | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
to explain why she's confident that the Conservatives are the best | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
party to represent this largely working class constituency, | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
but Stoke Central has never had The seat has been held by Labour | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
since it was created in 1950. And taking a look at the result, | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
here in 2015 at the general election, the Conservative candidate | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
came in third place, and it was Ukip that | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
narrowly came in second. More recently though, | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
the Conservatives have had some local success forming a coalition | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
with the city independents to take control of Stoke-on-Trent City | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Council and that's something Either way, Theresa May | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
says she's confident. I'm very clear that the government | :03:17. | :03:31. | |
I lead will be a government that ensures we have a country that | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
works for everyone. The people in Stoke on the 23rd | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
of June last year voted for change, and it's the Conservatives, | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
and the Conservative candidate here is a strong, | :03:41. | :03:41. | |
local Member of Parliament, who would work with the government | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
to deliver that change. And the Conservatives are not the | :03:44. | :03:56. | |
only party to wheel out the big guns to get voters? | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
You know there's a nationally significant by-election | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
looming when the leader of the Opposition starts | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
We've seen plenty of Labour's Jeremy Corbyn and his predecessor | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
He was in town today because they know that 20 years ago, | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
Labour had a 20,000 majority here, but that fell to 5,000 | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Tim farron, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
was also here today and, as for Ukip, their party leader | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
is their candidate, Paul Nuttall. | :04:19. | :04:36. | |
how many people turn out for the how many people turn out for the | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
by-election on Thursday. And you can find a full list | :04:41. | :04:41. | |
of the ten candidates standing for election on the politics pages | :04:42. | :04:44. | |

the charges relate to his work Birmingham is among the top ten | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
cities in the country with high numbers of rough sleepers, | :04:57. | :05:09. | |
according to latest But many hostels don't | :05:10. | :05:10. | |
have the facilities to take in dogs at night, so new efforts | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
are being made to accommodate the homeless with their | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
canine companions. Chris ended up sofa | :05:17. | :05:18. | |

to a life on the streets with just his pet dogs | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
for company, preferring It was hard enough looking after | :05:28. | :05:44. | |
yourself. If you got nowhere to go, the dogs would get left. They were | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
all I had, so I cherish them. To many roughly pers, there are dogs | :05:52. | :05:54. | |

unless people get off the streets, it could be a matter of life or | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
death. -- too many rough sleepers. The Zambesi project | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
in Sparkbrook helps to get rough sleepers off the streets | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
and into safe accomodation. The scheme to get people back | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
on their feet is funded by Birmingham City Council | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
and they're now opening their doors The dogs are there as their friend, | :06:16. | :06:21. | |

accommodation to our customer and with the dogs in tow. It really good | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
that they are giving people the opportunity to keep the dogs. | :06:32. | :06:32. | |
It's hard to estimate how many people are sleeping | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
rough with their pets, but it's hoped schemes that allow | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
animals into hostels will help start to reduce the homeless figures. | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
Joan Cummins, BBC Midlands Today, Birmingham. | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
For more than 850 years, the same ancient | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
church bell has rung out across a tiny isolated | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
As one of the oldest bells in the country, | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
experts believe it's of national importance. | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
Today, for the first time in centuries, villagers in Myndtown | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
got the chance to see it, when it was removed | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
and taken away for repairs. Bob Hockenhull reports. | :07:00. | :07:20. | |
Watching over this remote spot, supporters say the church has | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
With scaffolding up for important restoration | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
work, today history was | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
made as this bell dating back to 1150 one is removed from the first | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
We want people under supervision, to bring them and to | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
This is the third oldest bell in the country. | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
The other bell at Myndtown Church, a mere 600 years old, was | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
also brought down for conservation work. | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
A ?200,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery fund is paying for | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
Although sparse and remote today, this community would | :08:01. | :08:11. | |
once have been something much more significant. | :08:12. | :08:12. | |
The village of Myndtown, where a much larger | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
settlement in the Domesday book we paid three times as much as | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
Birmingham in rates, something like ?3 to their ?1. | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
A good reason to preserve Myndtown's heritage, then. | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
Handle with care came to mind as the bells were moved | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
Once the repairs are finished at a secret location, the fully restored | :08:35. | :08:43. | |
bells will return to this isolated spot in May. | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
Football, and Aston Villa are still without a win | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
in 2017 after losing 2-0 at Newcastle tonight. | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
Trailing 1-0 at half time, Villa's seventh defeat in eight | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
games was confirmed by an own goal by Henri Lansbury. | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
And to make matters worse for manager Steve Bruce, | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
another of his recent signings, Scott Hogan, was stretchered off | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
I'll leave you with Shefali, who has the forecast for the week. | :09:02. | :09:18. | |
Good evening. It was a beautiful day today. Temperatures well above | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
average but the time of year. In this part of the region we really | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
did see some cracking temperatures. It felt more like late March than | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
late February. Across Coventry, we saw highs of 16 Celsius and | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
temperatures into the mid-teens in most places. This is how it's | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
looking for the rest of the week. Mail to begin with and then | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
temperatures sliding by Thursday or Friday. Picking up slightly again | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
into the weekend, but there will be a mixture of rain and cloud, | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
brighter spells in between. Tonight, fragmented rain, at times heavy. " | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
Mr underneath this. In quite cold mate, temperatures down to nine or | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
attend Celsius. Tomorrow, the remnants of this band of rain. Then | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
it starts to dry up. The afternoon should be dry, with breaks in the | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
cloud and brightness showing through. Already another band of | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
rain waiting in the wings in the west. Top temperatures tomorrow 13 | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
Celsius, light, moderate westerly breeze. Tomorrow night, the band of | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
rain working eastwards. Becoming heavier in places, particularly the | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
north-west of the region. In quite cold mate tomorrow night. Wednesday, | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
I breaks of rain, pepping up in places, clearing away by the | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
afternoon, where it will be brighter with spots of sunshine. The winds | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
showing signs of picking up. A deep area of low pressure crossing the | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
region for Thursday with little milder, but it will be a wet | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
start and it will brighten up later. As you have just seen, after a day | :11:04. | :11:13. | |
in which some of you have been shedding the layers, you will be | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
putting them back on for the rest of this week. Big changes ahead, all | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
down to where the air has been coming from. Today, it originated in | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
the Caribbean, hence the name tropical maritime air. Temperatures | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
peaked at 18 degrees. But later this week, the winds go to the | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
north-west, a different source, polar maritime | :11:35. | :11:35. |
