A cluster of avoidable baby deaths at an NHS Trust in England - | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
the Health Secretary orders an investigation. | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
Many of the babies died in Shropshire following failures | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
to monitor their heart rate properly during labour. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
They had four missed opportunities to deliver my girls. | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
So now I get to spend the rest of my life going, "What if, what if?" | :00:25. | :00:33. | |
At least seven babies died in the space | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
of just over a year and a half - we have an exclusive report. | :00:36. | :00:41. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News At Six. | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
In the space of just over a year and a half, | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
at least seven babies died during or shortly after birth | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
And the cluster of deaths was avoidable. | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
Five of the babies died simply because their heart rate | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
wasn't being monitored properly during labour. | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
Their deaths have prompted such concern that the Health Secretary, | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
Jeremy Hunt, has now ordered a review | :02:16. | :02:16. | |
of the Shrewsbury and Telford hospital trust. | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
But it says its mortality levels are in line with the national average. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Our correspondent Michael Buchanan has this exclusive report. | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
Basic errors at this trust have caused healthy babies to die. | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
I don't want another mum to feel this. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
I don't want another dad to have to put the lid | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
Promises to learn lessons have not been kept. | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
They were interpreting my heart rate as hers. | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
They missed the opportunity to see that there was any distress. | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
But now a family long denied justice themselves have prompted | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
How many more babies need to die at this trust | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
"Enough is enough, we need now to investigate"? | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
A memory box is all Kelly Jones has of her twin girls Ella and Lola. | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
Her daughters were stillborn in 2014. | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
The trust admitted the deaths were avoidable. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
They'd failed to spot their heart rates were deteriorating, | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
so the twins suffered fatal brain injuries. | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
That midwife come in crying, saying, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
Hospital staff ignored Kelly's repeated calls | :03:42. | :03:55. | |
for them to deliver the twins, leaving her now utterly bereft. | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
They had four missed opportunities to deliver my girls. | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
So now I get to spend the rest of my life going, | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
Following the twins' deaths, the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital | :04:11. | :04:20. | |
Trust promised Kelly they'd improved how | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
they monitored babies' heart rates during labour. | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
Errors with foetal heart monitoring contributed to the deaths of five | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
healthy babies between September 2014 and May 2016, | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
the most recent of which was Ivy Morris. | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
It was just something that she couldn't do. | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
Ivy died last May aged just four months. | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
A brain injury at birth gave her little quality of life. | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
The hospital had mistaken her mother's heartbeat for Ivy's | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
and failed to spot the baby was in distress. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
I've had an apology from the hospital. | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
I've had assurances that this won't happen again, and I accept those. | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
But other families have had those assurances | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
if they were followed up in the way that they said that they would, | :05:12. | :05:20. | |
and in the way that they'd assured those families, then I wouldn't be | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
sat here talking to you, and I would have my daughter. | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
Foetal heart monitors are commonly used on women in labour | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
to ensure the baby isn't in distress. | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
Mistakes are made, but the repeated errors at the Shrewsbury | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
and Telford trust have prompted the Health Secretary | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
Jeremy Hunt has ordered a review of deaths and other maternity errors - | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
a move prompted by the tireless campaigning of one family. | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
Richard and Rhiannon have fought the trust for years | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
over the avoidable death of their daughter Kate. | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
Isabella's big sister died in 2009 following numerous | :05:59. | :05:59. | |
their determination eventually got them a full apology. | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
But they say the trust could have avoided more deaths | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
They haven't just killed my daughter, | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
but they have disregarded the value of her life, her memory,. | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
Her life had value and meaning, because there was so much from it | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
that they could have learned and improved from. | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
The Shrewsbury and Telford trust have promised | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
they'll cooperate fully with the upcoming inquiry. | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
The medical director admitted to me they'd made mistakes. | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
Sadly, there are cases where losses occur. | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
But what families expect when a loss occurs, | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
as an absolute minimum, is that lessons are learned. | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
I would acknowledge that, in the case of foetal | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
heart-rate monitoring, we've identified a number of cases | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
where that hasn't been fully implemented and where we have learnt | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
both in terms of human error and in terms of analysis and monitoring. | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
Too many families have been failed by this trust. | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
The upcoming review will hopefully stop such unnecessary heartache. | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
Just tragic for the families involved - who is to blame, though? | :07:16. | :07:27. | |
Well, our reporting cannot pin it on any single individual at all, we | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
found errors by doctors, by midwives, by doctors and midwives | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
not working properly together. It is fair to say that it is a cultural | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
problem of the trust going back a number of years, and that is based | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
on an official NHS England commissioned report last year that | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
found there was a lack of safety culture at this trust going back to | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
2009. There was also a second review analysing all NHS trusts in England | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
that was published last year. It found that this trust had a poor | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
reporting culture, didn't learn lessons from incidents. In fact, it | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
is one of the worst in England when it comes to that aspect of care. I | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
think the thing to point out is that the reporting today is mainly | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
focused on 2014 - 16, but you heard a case going back to 2009, and that | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
family told us it would be arrogant of them to assume they were the only | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
avoidable deaths, and that raises the question of what else might have | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
been taking place. The review will be too late for too many in | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Shropshire, but all of them say that if it stops other families from | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
suffering the heartache that they have, it will be worthwhile. Michael | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
Buchanan, thank you. The US Secretary of State | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
is holding talks now in Moscow Rex Tillerson is trying to persuade | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
the Russians to drop their support in the wake of last week's | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
chemical attack on a rebel town. Our Moscow correspondent | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
Steve Rosenberg reports. The body language | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
told you everything about the state | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
of US-Russian relations. Right now, Moscow and Washington | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
are not the best of friends. No sooner had they sat down | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
than Russia's Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, accused America | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
of an illegal attack on Syria. Rex Tillerson said he was here | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
to talk things through. And to further clarify | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
areas of sharp difference so that we can better understand | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
why these differences exist. There's been a sharp | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
difference over this. Last week, America launched | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
cruise missiles targeting a Syrian government airbase - | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
an act of aggression, said Russia. But Washington called it | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
an appropriate response to the recent chemical weapons | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
attack on Syria. America says it's certain | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
the Syrian regime was behind this. Today, President Trump | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
urged Russia to drop its support | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
for President Assad. Putin is backing a person | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
that's truly an evil person, and I think it's very bad | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
for Russia, I think it's very bad for mankind, | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
it's very bad for this world. But President Putin told Russian TV | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
there was no evidence the Syrian government had | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
carried out a chemical attack. Moscow has no appetite | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
for regime change. If you dismiss Mr Assad, | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
it's not a solution of Syria. It is also a kind of illusion, | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
a Western illusion - "Let's change this dictator | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
and we will have a paradise." Americans did it in many places, | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
and we know the results. When Rex Tillerson was | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
an oil executive, he did business | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
with Vladimir Putin - toasted deals with him, | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
received an award from him. But convincing the Kremlin | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
to abandon President Assad have drunk champagne | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
with Vladimir Putin. He may even have got | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
a medal from him. But that was business - | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
this is geopolitics. The reality is that Russia | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
believes it has nothing to gain and a lot to lose | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
from abandoning President Assad. And until that changes, | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
it's not going to do it. Russia sent its military to Syria | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
to keep President Assad in power. To Moscow, he is the guarantor | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
of Russian interests there. The West may call him an evil - | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
Russia calls him an ally. Police in Germany say | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
they've detained one suspect, thought to have Islamist links, | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
after three explosions hit a bus carrying the Borussia Dortmund | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
football team last night. They say they're treating | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
the incident as a terror attack. The match against Monaco | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
is now being played tonight. Our correspondent Jenny Hill | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
is in Dortmund, where it has just got | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
under way. Jenny. | :11:43. | :11:53. | |
Stringent security here, as you'd expect a night, as the match got | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
under way about half an hour ago. Police are still trying to establish | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
who was behind last night's attack, and what the motive might have been. | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
As you heard there, they have made one arrest today, and they are | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
believed to be looking for another man, though prosecutors are refusing | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
to comment on fairly widespread media reports that one of those men | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
was an Iraqi national, the other a German citizen. Nevertheless, right | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
now the focus here at the stadium here in Dortmund, Germany's largest | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
stadium, is very much on the game. This is how Germany | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
defends home ground. Last night's attack after all | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
struck at the very heart TRANSLATION: Football | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
is stronger than terror. We want our children | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
to enjoy football. This was, police believe, a targeted | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
attack on the Dortmund team. Three explosive devices | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
packed with metal pins, planted on their route | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
to the stadium. Explosives with a range | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
of 100 metres. Investigators have yet | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
to establish a motive, but they are examining | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
letters found at the scene. TRANSLATION: Three letters | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
were found at the site, they suggest a possible | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
Islamist background. Among other things, they demand | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
the withdrawal of German Tornadoes from Syria and the closure | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
of the Ramstein airbase in Germany. These letters are being investigated | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
by Islamic experts. But in the meantime, | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
there is a match to play. The Dortmund team arrived tonight | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
without Marc Bartra, who posted this picture earlier | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
following surgery on his wrist. A policeman was also | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
injured in the attack, TRANSLATION: We were all appalled | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
yesterday when we heard about the attack on the bus | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
of the players in Dortmund. We sincerely wish the injured, | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
the player Marc Bartra and also And we all agree that we are dealing | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
here with a disgusting deed. Tonight there is fear, | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
and there are questions, but as Dortmund clash | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
against Monaco, That the match is being played | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
at all, is for many here, America's First Lady, Melania Trump, | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
has accepted damages, reported to be in | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
excess of ?2 million, from the publishers | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
of the Daily Mail, after it printed allegations about | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
her past career. The paper, which has also agreed | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
to print an apology, suggested that work | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
undertaken by Mrs Trump in the 1990s Today it accepted that | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
those suggestions were untrue. Our media correspondent | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
David Sillito reports. My wife Melania, who | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
is here right now... Melania Trump, First Lady | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
of the United States - it's a position that is always | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
going to attract press attention, but when the Daily Mail published | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
an article last August making a series of accusations about her | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
past, she called in the lawyers. Today, that process | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
came to a conclusion. And in a statement read out in court | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
today, they address the allegations in that article headlined "Racy | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
photos and troubling questions", in which the Daily Mail republished | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
allegations that Melania Trump had provided services beyond simply | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
modelling, all of which it now accepts is entirely untrue, | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
defamatory, and for which the Daily Mail has now | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
apologised unreservedly. The size of the settlement | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
hasn't been made public, but a figure of just under | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
$3 million is being widely reported. It's a big figure for a libel claim, | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
but Melania Trump had, at the beginning, been seeking | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
150 million for what her claim said was the loss of a once-in-a-lifetime | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
opportunity to extend her brand. There was no mention of business | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
or branding today's statement, rather, "The allegations strike | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
at the heart of the claimant's "The claimant has not | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
acted as alleged." "The suggestion that such | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
allegations even merit investigation is deeply offensive and has caused | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
a great deal of upset Melania has been a very soft | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
and easy target for the press. In terms of the criticism | :16:13. | :16:23. | |
levelled against her, and the specific types | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
of allegations that she has suffered from, it really | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
is a kind of lazy sexism. She's been criticised because people | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
want to attack her husband. In court, the statement on behalf | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
of the Daily Mail was brief - an apology, a retraction, | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
and publicly setting The Health Secretary | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
orders an investigation, after a cluster of avoidable baby | :16:42. | :16:53. | |
deaths at an NHS Trust in England. Still to come, Leicester City | :16:54. | :17:05. | |
prepare to take on Atletico Madrid. Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News, | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
double Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso will miss | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
the Monaco Grand Prix next month so he can race in the Indy 500, | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
and the Spaniard has the full support | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
of his McLaren team. Threats and abuse on social media | :17:17. | :17:26. | |
need to stop, and the likes of Facebook and Twitter must do more | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
to police what is posted online - that's what an MP said today, | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
after a man was sentenced to four months in prison for posting | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
messages on social media, Mark Sands pleaded guilty to sending | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
the grossly offensive messages on Facebook to the Eastbourne | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
MP, Caroline Ansell. She's the latest female MP to be | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
singled out for abuse online, brazen hand gesture, Mark Sands | :17:48. | :18:05. | |
arrived in court. Never in trouble with police before, now in jail for | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
threatening to kill his local MP. When police found his Facebook page, | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
it was full of posts described as hateful and vitriolic, showing | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
entrenched political views. He referred to himself as a trainee | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
murderer. He wrote, end poverty, kill a Tory now. And the one for | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
which he was jailed, if you vote to take my money, Al come round your | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
house and presently stabbing to death. That was aimed at Caroline | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
Ansell. She received a call from police last year saying there was a | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
credible threat against her life. Seen it on the front page of your | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
local newspaper, and then seeing it in every cafe in the town, | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
supermarkets and newsagents. It was very powerful. I sat with my | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
12-year-old son and his eyes widened, as you'd imagine, as he saw | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
the red that message and saw my photograph alongside the man who had | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
been charged. In her Eastbourne constituency come she has had to | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
tighten security, wanting to stay accessible to constituents, but now | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
mindful of the risks. The very nature of an MP's job, public | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
facing, openly political, means they have always been subject to | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
criticism, not least from local people who may not agree. But in the | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
last few years, there has been a substantial increase in the level of | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
online abuse that has been reported, according to police. The nature of | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
it can be very personal, highly offensive and sometimes threatening | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
and violent. The murder of the Labour MP Jo Cox last year has | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
heightened awareness about the potential consequences of public | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
anger towards politicians. Prosecutors say even online threats | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
are taken seriously, and are a growing problem. When you see some | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
of the impact it has on individual to have suffered online abuse, it is | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
quite devastating for their lives. If threats are made, they are | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
concerned for their own safety and others they may work or live with. | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
The threats made to carry a -- Caroline Ansell or call sinister. | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
While she is not put off politics, she fears unless there is a change | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
in public opinion, others might be. Alex Forsyth, BBC News. | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
Customers of the energy company EDF are facing another price rise - | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
The company's standard variable price for electricity | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
will increase by 9%, and gas will go up by 5.5%. | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
The energy regulator has described the hike as "difficult to justify". | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
It follows price rises by other leading energy companies. | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
Leicester City's European dream continues this evening, | :20:47. | :20:47. | |
as they take on Athletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
After their fairytale win in the Premiership last year, | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
Leicester have had a difficult season, which saw them | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
slide down the table - but it seems their fortunes | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
Joe Wilson is in Madrid this evening. | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
It is hot, it is Madrid, it's the Champions League quarterfinal - | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
Now, honestly, where will this ever end? | :21:08. | :21:19. | |
Sadly the pleasant scenes of fans enjoying the sun were far from the | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
full story. Leicester City have officially complained about the | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
behaviour of the police here. Some Leicester fans have experienced | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
policing which went over the top. There are a couple of people openly | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
antagonising the police. But they took out all of these people, people | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
with children, they battered us. A 70-year-old man, kids with children. | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
Security, naturally, is an issue here after Dortmund. | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
This was the Leicester team bus last night. | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
But there is no nonspecific threat to | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
Football goes on. Atletico Madrid have been Champions League finalists | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
twice in recent years. Now here they will -- will walk at a man who | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
starred as a player for Walsall, Craig Shakespeare. It is his eighth | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
game as Leicester manager. Sometimes you have new experiences, | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
of which this season is But make no mistake, | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
we're there to compete. We're not there just | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
to make the numbers up. This is the most famous | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
Leicester side ever. But in Madrid, do | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
they know this team? The Leicester effect is spreading | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
across Europe, slowly. It is the champions | :22:28. | :22:39. | |
of England, it's called Leicester fans came here to follow | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
their dream further. A steam locomotive has been driven | :22:44. | :22:55. | |
at 100 miles an hour, for the first time since steam power | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
was abandoned by British Rail, The locomotive, Tornado, reached | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
the speed as part of an experiment to assess whether steam trains can | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
safely run faster than the current It may look like something | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
from a bygone era, but the Tornado steam locomotive | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
is a very modern train. To run competitively on today's | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
railways it must hit top speeds. Which is why in the middle | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
of the night, its volunteer crew did something that hadn't been | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
done since 1966. On the line between Newcastle | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
and Doncaster, they took the train to the max, | :23:38. | :23:39. | |
past its normal running speed, The guys have had an inspection | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
and we seem to be all This is all about gathering | :23:44. | :23:56. | |
data, that is what the And then we will take the engine | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
to the shed, put it to bed, The Tornado was built in 2008 | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
at a cost of ?3 million. But to fit into the modern | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
rail network timetable, its crew had to show that it | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
could cope at more A lucky few were on board last | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
night as the train hit She's just the only loco | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
that could have done it. Tornado is still cooling down. Now | :24:22. | :24:44. | |
they have seen what she can really do, it is hoped by the end of this | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
year, this locomotive will be making regular express trips. For now, it | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
is celebration time, with a copper rather than champagne. The crew | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
thrilled at an achievement built on sweat and steam. | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
Now the weather. Hello. A lot of us thinking about the Easter weekend | :25:02. | :25:14. | |
and what it is going to bring. Not an awful lot is happening with the | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
weather. That is quite good news. We are not necessarily expecting a | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
wash-out but we are not expecting a lot of sunshine or warm weather. | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
Somewhere in the middle. Pretty much what you would expect at this time | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
of the year. That is what we had today. We had a weather front | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
crossing the country. Fresh air from the north-west. Winds from the | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
Atlantic. And also some showers this evening and overnight. But these are | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
showers and they are very hit and miss. A lot of us have dry weather | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
this evening and overnight. Pretty chilly. It will be on the cool side | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
overnight. A touch of grass frost way before dawn. Tomorrow, it is not | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
going to be a lot different to what we have today. There will be a fair | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
bit of cloud. But also some sunshine poking through the clouds and some | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
more April showers in the north-west. Temperatures not | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
particularly exciting but not desperately disappointing either. It | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
is all about the strength of the sunshine. Even 11 degrees in the sun | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
feels good enough. It is going to be cloudy on Friday. Even some rain | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
occasionally in the southern half of the UK. Brighter for a change. Good | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
Friday definitely the most dull day of the Easter weekend. And then | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
Saturday, this weather map is pretty complicated. A lot happening. | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
Nothing is very dynamic in the atmosphere. I think it is just going | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
to be a pretty uniform area weather across the UK. All of us will have | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
some sunshine. Most will be at risk of getting a shower and it is very | :26:56. | :26:56. | |
cool. That's all from the BBC News at Six. | :26:57. | :26:57. | |
So it's goodbye from me, and on BBC One we now join the BBC's | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
news teams where you are. | :27:01. | :27:06. |
