Good evening. stories on the BBC News Channel. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:13 | |
A Hereford man claims his wife will be left homeless | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
and in fear if she's deported to the Philippines tomorrow. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
Marinel Bristow, who's 33, has been detained at an immigration | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
centre in Bedfordshire. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
Ben Godfrey reports. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
Just to see his wife Marinel, Rob Bristow must make an appointment | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
at Yarlswood Immigration Removal Centre. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
I brought a suitcase of some of her things. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
The couple married eight years ago in Herefordshire. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
Her visitor visa expired but back in the Phillippines, in 2013, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
a devastating typhoon left her homeless. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:47 | |
Rob brought her back to the UK, but legal appeals for her to be | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
granted refugee status have failed. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
She lost up to 50 family members, neighbours, relatives, | 0:00:52 | 0:01:02 | |
some of which I had met and she only really was able to survive | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
at the time because she was living in a concrete structure | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
that we were renting for a business there at the time. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
Marinel Bristow couldn't provide officials with evidence that Rob's | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
earnings as a photographer reached the threshold for | 0:01:16 | 0:01:17 | |
an appeal to succeed. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:22 | |
She believes she'll be deported as early as tomorrow. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
A spokesperson for Rob's local MP Jesse Norman said: Marinel Bristow | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
agreed to speak to us on the phone. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:35 | |
I'm feeling down, being here. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
I've been here for ten days. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
How do you feel about returning to the Philippines? | 0:01:39 | 0:01:45 | |
Going back again, not knowing what's going to happen to me. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:51 | |
We're told the Home Office's decision has been upheld | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
by an independent immigration judge. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
In a statement, they told us all applications are considered | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
on their individual merits and in line with the | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
immigration rules. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
Two people have been charged with the murder of a 45-year-old | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Staffordshire man who was found stabbed in his car in Leicestershire | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
on Thursday evening. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
Timothy Smith from Fazeley was discovered at an industrial | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
estate in Shepshed. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
Police initially thought he'd been involved in an accident, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
but paramedics discovered a stab wound. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:30 | |
You'll have heard no doubt of the sad news this weekend | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
of the death of rock 'n roll giant Chuck Berry, but did you know | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
that his biggest hit - the one morality campaigners tried | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
to ban - was recorded during a live gig in the Midlands? | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
Audrey Dias has the story. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
# And I let her play with my ding-a-ling-a-ling... | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
It was the song that gave the rock and roll | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
legend him his only number one, recorded not in his native Missouri | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
but right here in Coventry. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
Chuck Berry was taped live while playing at an arts festival | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
in the city in 1972. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
It's crazy because you talk to these rock and roll people, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
they love Chuck Berry and it was probably the worst thing | 0:03:02 | 0:03:08 | |
he ever did, the innuendo going on, but it was the only number one not | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
only in Britain, but also in America and we love the fact | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
it was recorded here in Coventry. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
The Locarno is now the Central library, but do the people Coventry | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
know that musical history was made here? | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
Amazing! | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
Loads of stuff happened in Coventry back in the day! | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
I think it's really cool, because I didn't know anyone | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
famous had been here, except The Specials. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
He was an inspiration for the Rolling Stones | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
and the Beatles and John Lennon, so he'll be sadly missed, I suppose. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:40 | |
Professional DJ Kevin Boddy was meeting friends in the city today. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
He says My Ding-A-Ling is more than just a novelty record. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:49 | |
Early '70s was a very dry time for music and it was just, | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
like, a refreshing song. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
Chuck Berry's influence went beyond the music. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
But it was one night at the Locarno when the star really | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
left his mark on the Midlands. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:08 | |
Here's Alex Hamilton. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
Good evening. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:19 | |
We've got more sunshine and showers on the way over the next few days. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
Breezy at times as well, as those isobars start | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
to squeeze together. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |
Now, looking at detail overnight tonight, we will see that rain | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
starting to work in, particularly in the early hours, | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
lows tonight of around 1 Celsius and take care - | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
there could be spray and standing water on the roads. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
Tomorrow morning, that rain will be with us for quite some time, | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
but it will slowly and steadily get drier and brighter over the course | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
of the day with highs of around 12 Celsius. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
I'll leave you with the outlook - sunshine and showers on the way | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
and turning noticeably cooler over the course of the next few days. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:55 | |
That's it for now. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:56 | |
Midlands Today will be back tomorrow just after 6pm. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
Goodnight. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 |
