:00:06. > :00:13.Good evening, welcome to Monday's Midlands Today from the BBC.
:00:13. > :00:17.Tonight: A Coventry couple go to court in Tokyo to hear a Japanese
:00:17. > :00:21.man admit he raped and strangled their daughter.
:00:21. > :00:26.Signs the private sector is plugging their jobs gap. 400
:00:26. > :00:31.private jobs are created. It is still ongoing. A more projects are
:00:31. > :00:37.going online and being constructed. Frightening Health figures show

:01:08. > :01:10.strangulation, but tells a court he never meant to kill her.
:01:10. > :01:12.That's the plea of a Tatsuya Ichihashi, the Japanese man
:01:12. > :01:17.standing trial for murdering Warwickshire teacher Lindsay Ann
:01:17. > :01:19.Hawker. She'd been working in Tokyo at the time of her murder. Her body
:01:19. > :01:22.was found on his balcony. Lindsay Ann's family have flown to
:01:22. > :01:29.Japan for the trial. This report from our Tokyo correspondent Roland
:01:29. > :01:33.Buerk. Her family have travelled to Japan
:01:33. > :01:37.for the trial of the man accused of murdering her. Her father, Bill,
:01:37. > :01:40.pulled a photograph of his daughter from his pocket before walking into
:01:40. > :01:46.court. Hundreds of people had lined up for a place in the public
:01:46. > :01:51.gallery. This is will the most high-profile cases in Japan. Inside
:01:51. > :01:55.the court, the defendant admitted raping a the 22 year-old. I did not
:01:55. > :02:00.intended to kill her but I am responsible for her death, he said.
:02:00. > :02:04.I'm very sorry for what I did. He knelt on the ground and bowed in
:02:04. > :02:09.front of the family. The defence argues he'd strangled her
:02:09. > :02:16.inadvertently, while trying to stop her crying out, and should face a
:02:16. > :02:21.lesser charge. Lindsey was in Japan to work as an English teacher. She
:02:21. > :02:25.was from a Coventry. The last time she was seen alive was on CCTV
:02:25. > :02:30.pictures, meeting of the manor. Her body was found on the balcony of
:02:30. > :02:36.his flat, buried in sand and soil, in a bath tub. When the police
:02:36. > :02:40.arrived, he was there but ran away barefoot. The family came to Japan,
:02:40. > :02:45.frequently, appealing for information, but the case went cold
:02:45. > :02:50.for two-and-a-half years. A Second World War bunker in southern Japan
:02:50. > :02:55.was where the man was hiding out. He ventured out to work on a
:02:55. > :02:58.building side to play for -- pay for plastic surgery. In late 2009,
:02:58. > :03:03.staff in a clinic handed a photograph of his new appearance to
:03:03. > :03:09.police, after becoming suspicious. He was brought to Tokyo to face
:03:09. > :03:13.trial after being recognised by a member of the public at a port. The
:03:13. > :03:17.hawkers left court in a car at the end of the first day of the trial.
:03:17. > :03:24.They say all they want is justice for their daughter. A verdict is
:03:24. > :03:31.expected on 21st July. And there'll be regular updates on
:03:31. > :03:36.the court case on the BBC Coventry and Warwickshire website.
:03:36. > :03:40.Thanks for your company. You're with Midlands Today from the BBC.
:03:40. > :03:47.Coming up: how company bosses are demanding action against boy racers
:03:47. > :03:50.on an industrial estate. A survey by the BBC has revealed
:03:50. > :03:53.that more than 700 public-sector jobs have been lost in Coventry
:03:53. > :03:56.since the Government's Spending Review in October. But private
:03:56. > :03:59.sector firms we questioned say they're creating jobs and looking
:03:59. > :04:03.to the future with more optimism, with more than 400 posts so far
:04:03. > :04:05.created. A snapshot of the Coventry area
:04:05. > :04:07.shows a livelier construction industry, and engineering firms
:04:08. > :04:12.recruiting to meet an increase in orders from car makers. Giles
:04:12. > :04:19.Latcham reports. As gateways go, it's not the most
:04:19. > :04:23.prepossessing. This corner of Coventry has a neglected air. A
:04:23. > :04:27.boarded up backwater regeneration never reached. Until now that is.
:04:27. > :04:32.On this side there are going to build a superstore and a gym
:04:32. > :04:40.complex, ultimately employing 600 people. It is costing �50 million.
:04:40. > :04:44.Work should begin before Christmas. So far, so positive, but one bit of
:04:44. > :04:49.good news doesn't spell a recovery. We will be employing further staff
:04:49. > :04:52.for this. We traced the Bishop Gate development back to the firm of
:04:52. > :04:57.Coventry architects designing it. They say in their line of business
:04:57. > :05:01.they're first into recession and first out of it. There is much more
:05:01. > :05:03.activity in the heart -- in the market. There are more project
:05:03. > :05:10.coming on line and being constructed which is great news for
:05:10. > :05:14.us. We are a position to bring more staff into the office again. Staff
:05:14. > :05:24.like Ken, one of 11 laid off in the downturn, one of several now
:05:24. > :05:26.
:05:26. > :05:29.rehired. Things have improved at this engineering firm in Exhall too.
:05:29. > :05:36.Orders from Jaguar Landrover are on the up. Finding people with the
:05:36. > :05:40.right skills is their only headache. We have a sales order-book taking
:05:40. > :05:45.us up to 2020. We will see our turnover double, if not trouble
:05:45. > :05:49.itself. The difficulty we have is finding engineers. We've tried to
:05:49. > :05:53.recruit two engineers over the last four months. We eventually done it
:05:53. > :06:01.but over the next six years, we are going to need up to 10 of those
:06:01. > :06:03.engineers. Coventry suffered in the cull of the quangos, the city lost
:06:03. > :06:06.more than 200 jobs in the government's comprehensive spending
:06:06. > :06:09.review in the Spring. But Severn Trent has hired more than two
:06:09. > :06:12.hundred workers since March at its spanking new headquarters in the
:06:12. > :06:16.city. 18 months ago, we started recruiting in Coventry. We ran a in
:06:16. > :06:20.office for a while and those people have relocated to this building. We
:06:20. > :06:25.are delighted with the quality of the stuff we've got. The latest
:06:25. > :06:29.figures show a drop in Coventry's jobless total, albeit a small one.
:06:29. > :06:37.No one is saying this city is out of the woods but in its journey to
:06:37. > :06:40.them, it may just be that it has turned a corner.
:06:40. > :06:43.There's increasing concern though, at the impact of the job losses in
:06:43. > :06:45.Coventry on women, who make up 65% of public sector workers.Mary-Ann
:06:45. > :06:47.Stephenson is chair at Coventry Women's Voices, an independent
:06:47. > :06:56.group of women's organisations, and she's working with the University
:06:56. > :06:59.of Warwick to assess the impact. Women are earning substantially
:06:59. > :07:04.less than men and I think that is going to be a big problem going
:07:04. > :07:08.forward because in a the public sector, the pay gap tends to be
:07:08. > :07:12.smaller so as women maybe have to lose public sector jobs and find
:07:12. > :07:16.jobs in the private sector, it is likely those jobs will be lower
:07:16. > :07:20.paid, particularly if they are working part-time. Part time work
:07:20. > :07:23.in the private sector is less well paid and in the public sector.
:07:23. > :07:29.You can read more from Mary-Ann on the BBC Coventry website, which
:07:29. > :07:32.also has all the facts and figures from the BBC survey.
:07:32. > :07:35.Other news. A 40-year-old man's appeared in court charged with
:07:35. > :07:37.murder after a woman's body was found at a house in West
:07:37. > :07:40.Bromwich.Gurinder Singh appeared before magistrates in Warley and
:07:40. > :07:43.was remanded in custody for a week. The body of a 24-year-old woman,
:07:43. > :07:50.who's not yet been identified, was discovered at a property in Walter
:07:50. > :07:52.Street on Saturday night. More than 20 years after a student
:07:52. > :07:55.from Gloucestershire was raped and murdered while teaching in France,
:07:55. > :08:01.the French authorities have closed the case.The parents of 21-year-old
:08:01. > :08:03.Joanna Parrish said they will challenge the decision. Miss
:08:03. > :08:10.Parrish, from Newnham-on-Severn, was found raped and strangled in a
:08:10. > :08:16.river in Auxerre in May 1990. A collection of iconic buildings at
:08:16. > :08:19.Dudley Zoo are to be revamped after securing Heritage Lottery funding.
:08:19. > :08:21.The zoo will initially receive more than �120,000 as they look to
:08:21. > :08:31.repair and renovate the four Tecton structures, which were built in
:08:31. > :08:45.
:08:45. > :08:48.1937. The zoo also plans to re-open its chairlift.
:08:48. > :08:50.Businesses at a industrial park plagued by boy racers have decided
:08:50. > :08:53.to tackle the problem themselves. Hams Hall in North Warwickshire has
:08:53. > :08:56.been a gathering place for car cruisers for several years now.
:08:56. > :08:58.People living and working in the area say it's blighting their lives.
:08:58. > :09:01.Kevin Reide reports. This mobile phone video posted on
:09:01. > :09:04.youtube shows a recent meet at hams Hall business park in Coleshill.
:09:04. > :09:07.The driver of a white Citreon Saxo, taunting the police. Here's the
:09:07. > :09:10.carries out the wreckless act of reversing at high speed along a
:09:10. > :09:18.dual carriageway. Then he reverses at high speed along the same
:09:18. > :09:22.section of road. The chase involved numerous police cars. And now a
:09:22. > :09:26.counter video posted by the police, showing the Saxo being crushed.
:09:26. > :09:33.intend to continue with rigorous enforcement. We will be seizing
:09:33. > :09:36.vehicles and using a wider variety of policing powers. People will
:09:36. > :09:40.risk having their car seized. may seem like tough action but it
:09:40. > :09:43.hasn't been enough. Numerous police operations and even a court
:09:43. > :09:47.injunction stopping the gatherings have had limited impact, so now
:09:47. > :09:50.businesses in the area are taking the problem on themselves. The
:09:50. > :09:54.companies include some big household names, fed up with their
:09:54. > :09:59.drivers being put at risk. The plan is to have a manned security gate
:09:59. > :10:02.in what could be a first for what is a public road. Access will be
:10:02. > :10:06.granted if you have a legitimate need but it will be through a
:10:06. > :10:10.manned security operation. Obviously, the main idea is to stop
:10:10. > :10:15.people leaving the estate that have come on to take part in activities
:10:15. > :10:20.which they are not allowed to. is a situation which has rarely
:10:20. > :10:28.changed. The gates will take time to install but businesses hope it
:10:28. > :10:30.will finally put an end to the gatherings.
:10:30. > :10:33.Shropshire's only daycare centre for physically disabled adults is
:10:33. > :10:35.due to close later this month. Instead of attending the centre in
:10:35. > :10:40.Shrewsbury, people are being given budgets to buy a personalised
:10:40. > :10:44.package of care and support. But is that any use when the centre
:10:44. > :10:47.they'd like to spend it on won't be there anymore? Andy Newman has been
:10:47. > :10:53.investigating. Getting on his exercise bike
:10:53. > :10:59.requires help from his mother and father, for Chris. He is 50, they
:10:59. > :11:03.are 79 and 80. Round-the-clock care at home, broken only by his twice
:11:03. > :11:13.weekly visits to the Grange day care centre in Shrewsbury. But soon,
:11:13. > :11:13.
:11:13. > :11:17.it is closing. We will possibly lose all of Christopher's friends.
:11:17. > :11:24.He is going to have to adapt to a new situation. What impact would it
:11:24. > :11:29.have on your? We will not get the rest bright, the short-term respite
:11:29. > :11:32.breaks we've had in the past. -- respite. What the council is
:11:33. > :11:36.offering people like Chris is a personal budget to buy their own
:11:37. > :11:41.individual package of care. What we wanted to do is to provide people
:11:41. > :11:46.with an opportunity to have much greater choice, greater control
:11:46. > :11:49.over the way that their support is organised and delivered. By giving
:11:49. > :11:53.people the individual budget associated with the cost of their
:11:53. > :12:00.support, and supporting them in finding ways in their local
:12:00. > :12:04.communities, for roads needs to be met. -- those needs. But what do
:12:05. > :12:09.other people think about this system? Would it be a substitute?
:12:09. > :12:15.No, definitely not. We will not get the same support as we did in the
:12:15. > :12:19.Grange. We have this daft but look after us here. It would cost a lot
:12:19. > :12:24.of money to replicate this. This centre is due to finally cut --
:12:24. > :12:28.shut its doors at the end of the month. The question is, can be new,
:12:28. > :12:33.personalised, individual packages of care relief fill the gap left by
:12:33. > :12:36.its closure? Earlier I spoke to David Congdon, from the charity
:12:36. > :12:39.Mencap, and I began by asking him for his reaction to Shropshire
:12:39. > :12:44.Council's decision to close The Grange.
:12:44. > :12:48.I think we are always concerned when we hear of a day centre
:12:48. > :12:50.closures. We needed to understand whether the individuals are getting
:12:50. > :12:55.real options for alternatives, because otherwise they add up with
:12:55. > :12:58.nothing to do. The crucial need, if any changes are taking place, is to
:12:58. > :13:02.ensure those people currently using the centre have a real choice of
:13:02. > :13:07.where else to go. Councils to have to save money, don't they, and
:13:07. > :13:12.drastically? I don't think... We would not want to see modernisation
:13:12. > :13:15.being primarily used as a means of saving money. What we want to see
:13:15. > :13:20.his people given the opportunity to do meaningful things during the day
:13:20. > :13:23.and whilst we support in principle the idea of people being given to
:13:23. > :13:27.many to spend on what they think is right for them, we don't want that
:13:27. > :13:31.to be used as an excuse to close day centres. How important our day
:13:31. > :13:35.centres for people with disabilities? It is day centres and
:13:35. > :13:38.their activities, not essentially about the centre itself. It is
:13:38. > :13:42.about having the option to do the things you want to do during the
:13:42. > :13:46.day, whether it means going to an education class, are going to other
:13:46. > :13:50.education activities, or leisure activities. The crucial thing is
:13:50. > :13:53.people having somewhere to go to do the things they want to do, and
:13:53. > :13:56.increasingly they can be in the community. We would support that.
:13:56. > :14:02.How do you see the future for people such as Eddie who we've just
:14:02. > :14:07.seen in our film? What is crucial is we are to... Where councils go
:14:07. > :14:11.through the root of personalisation, they need to give sufficient sums
:14:11. > :14:15.for people to do the activities they want. What we view with
:14:15. > :14:20.concern his way to get a proposal to modernise day services under get
:14:20. > :14:23.a big sum of money being taken out of the provision so it is less than
:14:23. > :14:29.about biding -- providing better provision and more about saving
:14:29. > :14:34.money. That cannot be the prime motivating factor. Your positive
:14:34. > :14:37.though overall? We are positive about the principle but have argued
:14:37. > :14:41.for many years that no day centre should close unless all the
:14:41. > :14:44.individuals have what we term robust alternatives to what they
:14:44. > :14:49.are currently doing, so it meets their needs, rather than someone
:14:49. > :14:53.else telling them what they should do. The British Heart Foundation's
:14:53. > :14:56.signed up two Warwickshire towns for a new campaign to cut the rate
:14:56. > :14:59.of heart disease. Life expectancy in Nuneaton and Bedworth is
:14:59. > :15:03.currently up to nine years shorter than the national average for men
:15:03. > :15:07.and seven years shorter for women. Nearly one in three adults are
:15:07. > :15:09.officially obese. And only one in 10 of the under 25s are eating
:15:10. > :15:12.their recommended five portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Now
:15:12. > :15:22.it's hoped this new campaign can arrest major cardiac problems. Joan
:15:22. > :15:26.
:15:26. > :15:28.Cummins reports. Gulan Mamojee was just 55 when a
:15:28. > :15:31.routine medical appointment revealed he needed a heart bypass.
:15:31. > :15:38.Within 24 hours, he'd undergone lifesaving surgery and is now a
:15:38. > :15:46.regular at the Pingles leisure centre. I feel a lot fitter since
:15:46. > :15:51.I've been coming here. I've noticed a lot of improvements in my
:15:51. > :15:55.everyday life. Getting into these classes, introducing him to
:15:55. > :16:05.exercise slowly, will hopefully get them to a level of fitness where
:16:05. > :16:07.they can come off their medication and live a normal day-to-day life.
:16:07. > :16:10.Simultaneously a sports against drugs tournament was taking place,
:16:10. > :16:12.targetting 10 and 11 years to encourage them that healthy living
:16:13. > :16:16.and sport are a fun combination. Life expectancy in Nuneaton is
:16:16. > :16:22.already 13 years shorter than in other areas of Warwickshire.
:16:22. > :16:26.Statistically, that means that 10 % of the people in this population
:16:26. > :16:30.are dying before they are 75 of heart disease. To put it another
:16:30. > :16:37.way, that is 40 children in this group who will not live to see
:16:37. > :16:40.their late 70s. But now the local council have joined forces with the
:16:40. > :16:43.British Heart Foundation to fight back against ill health and heart
:16:43. > :16:47.disease. By working with the British Heart Foundation, we can
:16:47. > :16:51.teach people what is good to read, what is not good to read, and
:16:51. > :16:56.hopefully encourage them to do more exercise. Heart disease remains the
:16:56. > :17:00.British -- biggest killer in this country. That is why it is
:17:00. > :17:03.absolutely vital we have an initiative like this, to improve
:17:03. > :17:08.awareness and it is a board and help people to take steps that will
:17:08. > :17:10.improve their health. Life expectancy wasn't really an issue
:17:10. > :17:17.for todays young competitors. Stockingford pupils were even
:17:17. > :17:24.passing on health tips. Go out for a jog sometimes. Do a lot of sports,
:17:24. > :17:32.do games. Don't just sit down on a sofa, being lazy. Drink lots of
:17:32. > :17:35.water, like a litre a day, and loads of fruit. The project will
:17:35. > :17:39.last five years by which time the borough are hoping they'll then be
:17:39. > :17:43.one of the healthiest. Thanks for your company and please
:17:43. > :17:47.stay with us. Still ahead: we take a tour of the castle in ruins three
:17:47. > :17:50.years ago, but now re-born thanks to the hard work of residents.
:17:50. > :18:00.And after the heat of today, what comes next? Keep watching, a full
:18:00. > :18:05.
:18:05. > :18:10.There's a double header of big local derbies in the world of
:18:10. > :18:12.speedway this week. And the first fixture tonight sees
:18:12. > :18:16.Wolverhampton hosting the Birmingham Brummies at Monmore
:18:16. > :18:20.Green and that's where Dan Pallett is right now.
:18:20. > :18:23.And very pleasant it is as well. Bad weather earlier in the season
:18:23. > :18:29.means these two teams are now together. They will race again on
:18:29. > :18:33.Thursday. It is a double-header, important for both clubs. Graham is
:18:34. > :18:40.that manager of the Brummies. Good teams are getting ready behind us.
:18:40. > :18:45.Sup the season so far. -- some up the season. I am more than
:18:45. > :18:50.satisfied. We lost last Thursday. If we had one bad match, we would
:18:50. > :18:54.have been in 4th place. Considering we are new to the League, been in
:18:54. > :18:59.7th position, I am more than happy. We are in a position without all
:18:59. > :19:05.the riders firing on all cylinders. Once we get sorted, we will be
:19:05. > :19:12.making some changes in the team, then we will see us jump up the
:19:12. > :19:15.league table. And are looking to replace one of our team. I laid the
:19:15. > :19:19.law down with him tonight. It is a big meeting tonight and he is
:19:19. > :19:23.assuring me he will score double points. Otherwise he will be on the
:19:23. > :19:27.road back to Poland. Let's speak to Peter, the Wolves manager. 9th at
:19:27. > :19:37.the moment but fixtures in hand, there is no reason why you couldn't
:19:37. > :19:38.
:19:38. > :19:44.be back in the play-offs. Yeah, we are making a start to the campaign.
:19:44. > :19:49.We have written to more away matches than we have here. It makes
:19:49. > :19:56.a huge difference. We've beaten the Brummies earlier in the seasoned.
:19:56. > :20:01.Am not sure that matters now. It is an important match for both teams.
:20:02. > :20:07.We are looking to win both of the move. It looks to be a perfect
:20:07. > :20:11.evening, or otherwise. And you can follow all the action
:20:11. > :20:17.from Monmore Green tonight on BBC The Royal Shakespeare company's
:20:17. > :20:20.preparing to open its doors to audiences in New York this week.
:20:20. > :20:28.But instead of adapting its shows to fit an American theatre, this
:20:28. > :20:30.time the company's brought its own. It means theatre goers will be
:20:30. > :20:37.getting an authentic piece of Stratford-upon-Avon, while sitting
:20:37. > :20:41.in the middle of the Big Apple. The RSC has moved to New York and
:20:41. > :20:44.they have not packed lightly. It is not just actors and costumes,
:20:44. > :20:48.they've brought with them they near exact replica of the Royal
:20:48. > :20:53.Shakespeare Theatre itself. In this former military facility, they are
:20:53. > :20:58.hoping to give Americans and their authentic taste of Shakespeare,
:20:58. > :21:01.performing five plays over six weeks. The scarlet and grey theatre
:21:02. > :21:06.was built in pieces in their workshops in England and shipped to
:21:06. > :21:11.New York in 46 containers. In two weeks, Alan Bartlett and his team
:21:11. > :21:15.have made this feel like home for the actors. We've tried to
:21:15. > :21:19.reproduce it so that our actors can come seamlessly from Asa
:21:19. > :21:24.performance in Stratford to hear, with a minimal technical rehearsal
:21:24. > :21:29.and carry on as normal. The catwalks and we see above our heads
:21:29. > :21:34.and the stage surface and the area under the stage, and the scenery,
:21:34. > :21:39.they have all stood on before. They performed on this before. What is
:21:39. > :21:43.gorgeous is that we have our same stage. After two-and-a-half years,
:21:43. > :21:48.five different productions, we need that base, that continuity, that
:21:48. > :21:52.home. That is what they're shot -- the stage gives us. This production
:21:52. > :21:56.is the largest that the Royal Shakespeare Company has undertaken
:21:56. > :22:00.outside of Stratford upon-Avon and the fact that it is happening in
:22:00. > :22:09.New York is no coincidence. Over 40 % of the fund raising revenue comes
:22:09. > :22:14.from the United States. A lot of our individual givers, particularly,
:22:14. > :22:20.are based in America. A lot of our audience in Stratford is American.
:22:20. > :22:28.We share the language and the passion for Shakespeare. If we make
:22:28. > :22:32.more friends while we are here, that will be brilliant. A the plays
:22:32. > :22:36.of part of a performing arts festival in New York which has
:22:36. > :22:39.extended its run just to accommodate the company.

:22:49. > :22:54.the way that established what made them different from other theatre
:22:54. > :22:59.companies in England or in the English-speaking world. Already,
:22:59. > :23:02.there has been huge interest in the project from the American press but
:23:02. > :23:08.weather for a company can make a lasting impression on the public
:23:08. > :23:12.will be the true test of their success.
:23:12. > :23:17.And the first performance in New York will be As You Like It on
:23:17. > :23:20.Saturday evening. See you at the airport! A
:23:20. > :23:25.Shropshire castle is preparing to open its door to visitors for the
:23:25. > :23:28.first time in over 700 years. Hopton Castle was in danger of
:23:28. > :23:31.falling down, but thanks to local residents the building has been
:23:31. > :23:38.restored. Ben Sidwell, who first visited the
:23:38. > :23:48.castle three years ago, has been back to see what it looks like now.
:23:48. > :23:50.
:23:50. > :23:55.On a day like today, seeing the results of expert stonemasons, it's
:23:55. > :24:00.a stunning monument. This is the castle, this is what it means to
:24:00. > :24:04.the village. When I came to the castle first into 2008, it is fair
:24:04. > :24:12.to say this building was in serious danger of collapse. Where I am
:24:12. > :24:17.standing now, I would have been completely covered in rubble. But
:24:17. > :24:24.after �1.3 million of investment, and two years of hard work, the
:24:24. > :24:27.castle once again his standing tall and strong. Situated just a couple
:24:27. > :24:32.of miles from the Welsh border, Hopton Castle in Shropshire has had
:24:32. > :24:35.a colourful history. It was the scene of a month-long siege during
:24:35. > :24:40.the Civil War, one of the reasons residents felt the need to preserve
:24:40. > :24:43.the building for future generations. It has improved the knowledge but
:24:43. > :24:49.best of all improves the experience for young people and older people
:24:49. > :24:52.have come to this part of the country to see this important
:24:53. > :24:57.borderland between Wales and England. It is whether Lord and
:24:57. > :25:00.Lady would have had their private area. For Tom Baker this has been a
:25:00. > :25:10.20 year labour of love. He began the campaign to first buy and then
:25:10. > :25:11.
:25:11. > :25:14.restore the castle. It is in fact a medieval en suite. It is a much
:25:14. > :25:22.stronger monument now. It was severely at risk and several parts
:25:22. > :25:26.of it would have fallen by now. Very important part.
:25:26. > :25:30.preservation work means the castle has been given a new lease of life
:25:30. > :25:40.and its future secured for years to come. The building itself is due to

:26:05. > :26:08.pressure. This new low will bring in different from the West. The
:26:08. > :26:12.winds will be picking up. This week is a bundle of showers, a

:26:16. > :26:19.warm as it was today. We saw that cold front approaching from the

:26:46. > :26:50.rain will arrive during mid-morning. It spread eastwards. Most of it is
