:00:12. > :00:20.Hello and welcome. The headlines: wind out of the region's four bids
:00:20. > :00:23.for Finn is selected by the government. Our first goal is by
:00:23. > :00:28.2015 per grit needed 2000 jobs. Unemployment is down, but youth
:00:28. > :00:34.unemployment is still high. What hope for young people? It is scary,
:00:34. > :00:39.really. Because it is just so hard to get a job. After a scathing
:00:39. > :00:42.report into care there, a residential hospital treating
:00:42. > :00:46.disabled and mentally ill patient is to be shut down.
:00:46. > :00:56.And after the riots, shops and restaurants report a big dip in

:01:05. > :01:09.trade. One business saver lost 80% Good evening. Tonight, mixed
:01:09. > :01:12.fortunes for our region has the government names as series of new
:01:12. > :01:16.enterprise zones, with the aim of creating thousands of jobs.
:01:16. > :01:20.Hereford has been chosen as one of 11 new locations across England,
:01:20. > :01:27.but applications from Stoke-on- Trent, Coventry and could Mr have
:01:27. > :01:32.been rejected. -- Kidderminster. Local government secretary Acol
:01:32. > :01:38.Pickles defended the decision, saying and neighbouring zone in the
:01:39. > :01:43.Black Country would have benefits for Stoke.
:01:43. > :01:48.One winner, three losers, on a day of mixed economic fortunes across
:01:48. > :01:52.the West Midlands. This will be the site of the region's only new
:01:52. > :01:58.Enterprise Zone, on the outskirts of the Rotherwas industrial estate
:01:58. > :02:04.in Hereford. A huge pile of rubble will be used for the Pat --
:02:04. > :02:10.foundation of the new Business Park. Those behind the bid are predicting
:02:10. > :02:12.about 2000 new jobs by printed 15. We said this would be the biggest
:02:12. > :02:17.opportunity for her picture since the Second World War, will mean
:02:17. > :02:21.that. At the end of the completion, we could have 6000 jobs. This is
:02:21. > :02:28.wonderful news, it is what we have been looking for, because we have
:02:28. > :02:33.an ambition in this county to raise the average salary and wage from
:02:33. > :02:39.19,000 to 25,000, and this is the first step in that aim. So what are
:02:39. > :02:44.the actual benefits of being in a Finn? For a start, there are lower
:02:44. > :02:49.taxes, less regulation for planning regulations, and super-fast
:02:49. > :02:53.broadband. No such benefits for today despite losing bidders, among
:02:53. > :02:58.them, Kidderminster and Coventry, where the Enterprise Zone would
:02:58. > :03:04.have been based around the airport. We're disappointed, we put forward
:03:04. > :03:08.an excellent proposal, creation of up to 14,000 jobs, solutions to a
:03:08. > :03:12.serious high weight problem. Stoke-on-Trent, hopes had been
:03:12. > :03:16.raised when David Cameron gave his answer to one of the City's MPs
:03:16. > :03:21.earlier this month. I will certainly ask the Chancellor to
:03:21. > :03:25.look if it will be in the next lot, because we want to help the
:03:25. > :03:31.communities she represents. today, and at the news that this
:03:31. > :03:37.site in the valley will stay empty. I was astonished when I heard the
:03:37. > :03:43.news, not long ago we had the Prime Minister here, promised in that we
:03:43. > :03:46.would get an Enterprise Zone, and this announcement has sneaked out
:03:46. > :03:50.that we haven't got it, it is just incredible. It is really
:03:50. > :03:54.disappointing. Particularly disappointing given previous
:03:54. > :04:00.comment from the current government about how they might support the
:04:00. > :04:03.North Staffordshire area. Overall, from today's announcements, mixed
:04:03. > :04:08.emotions. Hereford alone with cause to celebrate. The losing bidders
:04:08. > :04:14.can only contemplate what might have been.
:04:14. > :04:17.Our political editor joins us now. Let's start with what really is a
:04:17. > :04:21.disappointment in Coventry, Stoke- on-Trent and Kidderminster. All
:04:21. > :04:26.places that have had to jobs problems and could have done with a
:04:26. > :04:34.lift. That is the thing with beauty contests, you get more losers than
:04:34. > :04:44.winners. The government says these stones are particularly targeted. -
:04:44. > :04:44.
:04:44. > :04:48.- these zones. That of course, doesn't convince many Labour MPs.
:04:48. > :04:52.Joan Whalley says that the government had braved this along
:04:52. > :04:58.party-political considerations, which has brought a typically
:04:58. > :05:04.forthright response from the minister in charge of this. That is
:05:04. > :05:10.utterly ridiculous. We are putting these into Labour areas, Lib-Dem
:05:10. > :05:14.areas, Conservative areas, areas I have not got the remotest idea who
:05:14. > :05:20.controls. This is about regeneration. I think that, it says
:05:20. > :05:24.more about the people who says it then government policy. Success by
:05:24. > :05:28.Herod did come as we have been talking about, but they have their
:05:28. > :05:35.critics, haven't they? -- successor for Hereford. The government have
:05:35. > :05:39.been accused of recycling old idea which date back to the 1980s. The
:05:39. > :05:46.shopping centre in the Black Country started off as an
:05:46. > :05:49.Enterprise Zone, under Michael Heseltine. Apart from creating new
:05:49. > :05:52.jobs come but they are accused of destroying jobs, because if you
:05:52. > :06:01.look at the other high streets around the Black Country but have
:06:01. > :06:05.struggled since the shopping centre was built, to compete. Thank you.
:06:05. > :06:08.Unemployment may be up nationally, but here it is falling faster than
:06:08. > :06:14.anywhere else in the country. Figures out today show the jobless
:06:14. > :06:20.total for the region fell by 30,000 over the last quarter, down by 1%,
:06:20. > :06:25.despite this drop, unemployment of regionally is still running at 8.5%,
:06:25. > :06:32.higher than the national average. There are a total of 224,000 people
:06:32. > :06:35.out of work. The level of unemployment among
:06:35. > :06:39.young people in particular remains stubbornly high.
:06:39. > :06:47.Learning skills to help them in the future. These young people have
:06:47. > :06:51.taken advantage of opportunities at a charity in Redditch. There are
:06:51. > :06:55.200 of these in Redditch alone, meaning not in education,
:06:55. > :06:59.employment or training. We have yet people up against graduates to have
:06:59. > :07:04.left university, all the people who have been made redundant, they are
:07:05. > :07:10.going for vacancies, it is virtually making it him possible
:07:10. > :07:14.for our 16 and 17-year-olds. These teenagers are due to start college
:07:14. > :07:23.courses in September, but worry about the future. I have tried
:07:23. > :07:28.handing out about 30 C V s back, and it is scary, really. Tim Lowe
:07:28. > :07:31.is one of the lucky ones, he is due to start a motorsport course at
:07:31. > :07:35.Silverstone, with the ambition of becoming a mechanic at a Formula
:07:35. > :07:40.One. He also spent his summer at this centre, learning to cook, as
:07:40. > :07:44.well as confidence and team building skills. More engineers are
:07:44. > :07:48.needed than before, so that is sort of wire went into that line. It he
:07:48. > :07:54.is right about engineering. This charity has been training
:07:54. > :07:58.apprentice engineers since 1969, and has seen the number of
:07:58. > :08:03.vacancies trouble since last year. Its centre in Coventry wasn't big
:08:04. > :08:09.enough to cope with demand, so it is building another in a Quidditch.
:08:09. > :08:15.A 5th of yen people in the West Midlands are unemployed here, let
:08:15. > :08:19.his 83,000 of them. This training charity which supplies ingenious to
:08:19. > :08:24.charities is struggling to fill 24 vacancies locally. We are
:08:24. > :08:27.representing a part of industry which is working pretty well.
:08:28. > :08:33.Undoubtedly there are wide range of industries and sectors that are not
:08:33. > :08:38.performing as well as engineering. Sertec in coal still makes
:08:38. > :08:46.components for the automotive industry. Becky has joined the firm
:08:46. > :08:51.as an apprentice. Obviously, not been in as much debt as going to
:08:51. > :08:56.university. Becky has worked with us on the job and has gained
:08:56. > :08:59.experience. Had graduate that came straight out of university,
:08:59. > :09:03.although they have the qualification, they wouldn't have
:09:03. > :09:07.the practical experience to back that up. So a bright future in
:09:07. > :09:14.engineering, but a challenging time in many other areas the young
:09:14. > :09:20.people in the West Midlands. Now, hospital which cares for
:09:20. > :09:30.adults with learning abilities and mental-health problems is to close
:09:30. > :09:40.
:09:40. > :09:44.next Wednesday. For hospital is run Arden Vale, a purpose-built 25 bed
:09:44. > :09:48.hospital, opened in Meriden near Coventry five years ago. The
:09:48. > :09:52.hospital looks after adults with challenging behaviour, but last
:09:52. > :09:56.month it was revealed it was under police investigation, and staff had
:09:56. > :10:00.been suspended. A review carried out by the Care Quality Commission
:10:00. > :10:04.found that people at the Arden Vale were not protected from physical or
:10:04. > :10:11.emotional harm to stop the management of medicines was unsafe,
:10:11. > :10:16.and does raising concerns were not respected. We have to make sure
:10:16. > :10:21.that residents are looked after and the standards of patient care or
:10:21. > :10:26.off Alternate important. It is a sad day, but it shows us this
:10:26. > :10:31.should not happen again in the future. For hospital is run by a
:10:31. > :10:39.castle back, the company has agreed voluntarily to close it after
:10:40. > :10:43.concerns were raised. Castlebeck also run at this hospital, which
:10:43. > :10:49.was filmed by Panorama. Alternative arrangements are being made for the
:10:49. > :10:56.19 people still being cared for at Arden Vale.
:10:56. > :11:01.In a statement, Castlebeck chief executive said, we will be working
:11:01. > :11:05.with the people in our care, as well as families and care managers,
:11:05. > :11:09.to ensure there is minimum disruption. Joining us now is
:11:09. > :11:13.Andrea Gordon from the Care Quality Commission. What was it that was
:11:13. > :11:18.going on at Arden Vale which meant you wanted to see it shut?
:11:18. > :11:25.carried out a number of visits in June, and identified issues with
:11:25. > :11:30.inappropriate restraint used, inadequate staffing, staff working
:11:30. > :11:33.odd patterns of hours, medicine management issues, and we made a
:11:33. > :11:39.decision that we would take enforcement action against Arden
:11:39. > :11:45.Vale. Over the last week, people have been working with the Primary
:11:45. > :11:50.Care Trust, they went into Arden Vale and said there were still
:11:50. > :11:57.serious issues around management of medicines. You were taking legal
:11:57. > :12:01.action. Why did this... A why it is this understanding about what has
:12:01. > :12:05.been happening at some of these Castlebeck homes only happening
:12:05. > :12:14.after the Panorama programme? we register at all adult social
:12:14. > :12:18.care providers, so we made an assessment on Arden Vale at that
:12:18. > :12:23.time. There were no problems brought to our attention, it was
:12:23. > :12:26.only in May this year where issues were brought to our attention.
:12:26. > :12:31.does say something about checking procedure, you didn't know what was
:12:31. > :12:36.going on. But we are not in and out of place is all the time, we are
:12:36. > :12:40.reliant on other people sharing information with us. Is there any
:12:40. > :12:45.chance of criminal proceedings? couldn't comment at this stage. We
:12:45. > :12:53.worked closely with the provider, and how partners, the Primary Care
:12:53. > :12:56.Trust, and the police, around this The National Deaf Children's
:12:56. > :13:00.Society says it will take Stoke-on- Trent City Council to court over
:13:00. > :13:03.cuts to educational support. The society says the council is in
:13:03. > :13:07.breach of the law by failing to assess the impact the cuts will
:13:07. > :13:11.have on deaf children. If the cuts are made, there will be just three
:13:11. > :13:14.specialist teachers for the 200 deaf children in the city.
:13:14. > :13:17.Network Rail and a signalman have been ordered to appear in court
:13:17. > :13:21.after a woman was killed on a railway crossing. Jane Harding died
:13:21. > :13:26.last year when her car was hit by a train at a level crossing at

:13:47. > :13:49.drizzle or a downpour? Join me later and find out.
:13:49. > :13:53.Birmingham's biggest shopping centre has reported a huge dip in
:13:53. > :14:00.trade because of last week's riots. Bullring say retailers there have
:14:00. > :14:03.lost up to 50% in takings with official footfall down by 35%.
:14:03. > :14:08.Other businesses say they are struggling to cope with lower than
:14:08. > :14:13.usual cash flow. It was a frenzy of looting caught
:14:13. > :14:22.on the shop's own camera. Some of the teenagers stole just sweets and
:14:23. > :14:27.chocolates. One was just ten-years- old. I really feel sorry for him.
:14:27. > :14:32.This is the sort of training he is getting at that age. I do not know
:14:32. > :14:36.what will happen when he grows up. But what is going to happen in the
:14:36. > :14:45.short term to the family run business he attacked? The cash flow
:14:45. > :14:50.has really gone down because we had low sales and also the stocks have
:14:50. > :14:57.been stolen. It has all gone. big names in the Bullring suffered
:14:57. > :15:02.too albeit indirectly. Our tenant had been telling us that sales are
:15:02. > :15:04.anywhere between 30% and 50% down on last week. At Edmunds in
:15:04. > :15:08.Brindley Place, the Good Food Guide's Midlands restaurant of the
:15:08. > :15:12.year, things are finally picking up. Takings have dropped 80%. There is
:15:12. > :15:19.that fear factor still within Birmingham. People are fawning up
:15:19. > :15:23.to ask if it is safe. -- phoning up. We are just trying to reassure
:15:23. > :15:26.people. The fear factor is still playing a part in Wolverhampton,
:15:26. > :15:29.too. The owners of this antiques shop had their grade two listed
:15:29. > :15:33.window frame put through. And have weeks to wait for a replacement.
:15:33. > :15:37.But almost as bad, they say, is the quiet. I was disappointed more
:15:37. > :15:43.people didn't come to show their support. They did not have to buy
:15:43. > :15:46.things, but shh -- just to show support for the town centre. Around
:15:46. > :15:50.the corner, this mobile phone shop estimates �50,000 worth of damage
:15:50. > :15:53.and lost stock. And the owners couldn't afford insurance. Just
:15:53. > :16:01.over 500 people have now been arrested in connection with the
:16:01. > :16:04.riots. Every day, the number being charge rises. Today, the total
:16:04. > :16:08.stands at 139. Police say the response from the public in
:16:08. > :16:15.identifying the perpetrators has been very positive. And still more
:16:15. > :16:18.faces emerging that police hope you can help identify.
:16:18. > :16:24.A week ago, a corner of Birmingham was propelled into the national
:16:24. > :16:27.headlines, Winson Green. It was of course where three men were killed
:16:27. > :16:32.after being run down by a car as they tried to protect their
:16:32. > :16:35.businesses from looters during the riots. So, how has the community
:16:35. > :16:39.reacted and what is the way forward for them now? Our reporter has been
:16:39. > :16:42.assessing the mood. Three miles out of Birmingham City
:16:42. > :16:45.Centre, in northwest Birmingham, this is Winson Green. Now known for
:16:45. > :16:50.this expanding shrine for 21-year- old Haroon Jahan and brothers
:16:50. > :16:54.Shazad Ali and Abdul Musavir. They were all hit by a car last
:16:54. > :16:57.Wednesday as they guarded a row of shops during riots. Black and Asian
:16:57. > :17:01.people make up 66% of the population here. Businesses are
:17:01. > :17:09.owned by them and cater for them. It is an area that was already
:17:09. > :17:13.being hit by the economic downturn and now this tragedy. Their
:17:13. > :17:20.customers are frightened of coming into the area because there is so
:17:20. > :17:24.much publicity. They are worried things will not be safe for them to
:17:24. > :17:34.come here. All businesses are suffering here. Pinnu Khan has been
:17:34. > :17:41.
:17:41. > :17:51.running his shop for 35 years. Many have stayed away in the last week.
:17:51. > :17:52.
:17:52. > :17:57.It is a different story. We did not get any problems at all. Down the
:17:57. > :18:06.road at the barbers, an air of disbelief still lingers. We are
:18:06. > :18:12.peaceful community. This negative attention does not help us at all.
:18:12. > :18:16.Sentiments echoed by traders up and down Dudley Road. At the moment, it
:18:16. > :18:20.is quiet and subdued. There are rumours going about about various
:18:20. > :18:25.things. But this is a good community and we are fighting back.
:18:25. > :18:32.But some shoppers are remaining defiant. We have lived here for
:18:32. > :18:37.five years. We mix with everybody, no matter what colour. It is a good
:18:37. > :18:44.community. This is sad. It will be hard for new people coming into the
:18:44. > :18:49.area are. People don't want to be in an area or Cobra they think it
:18:49. > :18:54.is not says. There are independent shops here which rely upon shoppers.
:18:54. > :18:58.Many of them have kept away this week. Businesses here have been
:18:58. > :19:04.telling me the hope that the shoppers will return. For them,
:19:04. > :19:08.testament to the way the whole of the community has come together, in
:19:08. > :19:11.grief and in peace. Meanwhile, the funerals of Shazad
:19:11. > :19:15.Ali, Abdul Musavir and Haroon Jahan are expected to be held tomorrow.
:19:15. > :19:19.It follows a decision to allow their bodies to be released. We can
:19:19. > :19:26.go over to our reporter who is in Winson Green. What can you tell us
:19:26. > :19:31.about the arrangements? Well, I understand the bodies have
:19:32. > :19:35.been held by the coroner up until now, so that the police could carry
:19:35. > :19:39.out their forensic investigations. They are now satisfied with those
:19:39. > :19:44.investigations and have released the bodies to the families, so the
:19:44. > :19:50.funerals can go ahead late tomorrow afternoon. At 2pm, in Summerfield
:19:50. > :19:53.Park, there will be a special ceremony for the three men and all
:19:53. > :19:59.members of the community and all face had been invited by their
:19:59. > :20:07.families. The funerals themselves will take place at Handsworth
:20:07. > :20:10.cemetery. They will be private. What is the latest on the police
:20:10. > :20:16.investigation? One man is being held by police at
:20:16. > :20:20.the moment. They have up until 10pm this evening to release them are
:20:20. > :20:27.charged him. Three other people have also been charged with the
:20:27. > :20:33.murders of these three men. They are 117 year-old youth and two men
:20:33. > :20:36.in their twenties. -- a 17-year-old youth.
:20:36. > :20:38.Onto football and it was a miserable night for our teams with
:20:39. > :20:41.not a single winner in the Championship, League One or League
:20:41. > :20:46.Two. But that won't worry Birmingham City who are preparing
:20:46. > :20:50.for a European adventure instead. Flying out for their first match in
:20:50. > :20:53.a major European competition for 50 years. Birmingham City may have
:20:53. > :20:56.ended last season on a relegation low but they are still enjoying the
:20:57. > :21:00.benefits of the high point. Qualifying for the Europa League by
:21:00. > :21:09.winning the Carling Cup. First destination, the Portuguese island
:21:09. > :21:19.of Madeira to play Nacional. Geeky these teams have earned their way
:21:19. > :21:19.
:21:19. > :21:24.into the competition. They are of a good quality. -- these teams. We
:21:24. > :21:28.must play our best. We do not want to be chasing the ball all night,
:21:28. > :21:34.especially the way that the Portuguese play for at all. I think
:21:34. > :21:37.we will win. It will be tight. 1-0, hopefully. And they were happy to
:21:37. > :21:38.leave behind the rigours of the Championship where, ten days into
:21:39. > :21:41.the season, teams are already the season, teams are already
:21:41. > :21:44.playing their third league game. It has been a miserable start for
:21:44. > :21:48.Coventry City, but their fans still made the trip to Crystal Palace and
:21:48. > :21:51.had their hopes lifted by a goal from Lukas Jutkiewicz. But it was

:21:54. > :21:58.time to condemn the Sky Blues to their third straight defeat. In
:21:58. > :22:01.fact, it was a miserable night all round. Walsall seemed to be on
:22:01. > :22:04.course for an impressive away win at Sheffield United when they led
:22:04. > :22:07.2-0 early in the second half, through Kevan Hurst and Will Grigg.
:22:07. > :22:10.But the home team fought back and won it with a late penalty.
:22:10. > :22:13.Hereford United have suffered a shocking start to the season. Three
:22:13. > :22:23.league games, three defeats, no goals scored, eight conceded, four
:22:23. > :22:24.
:22:24. > :22:28.of them in a second half collapse at home to Morecambe last night. --
:22:28. > :22:31.Macclesfield. It was certainly a night to forget for assistant
:22:31. > :22:34.manager Russell Hoult, called up in goal because of injuries. In fact,
:22:34. > :22:43.the only teams who even managed a point were Burton Albion and Port
:22:43. > :22:46.Vale who cancelled each other out And if you want to follow
:22:46. > :22:48.Birmingham City or Stoke City in the Europa League, you can hear
:22:48. > :22:51.full commentary on BBC WM and BBC Radio Stoke.
:22:51. > :22:54.How far would you go to achieve a burning ambition? One teenager from
:22:54. > :22:58.Stone in Staffordshire moved away from home at 16 to concentrate full
:22:58. > :23:02.time on his goal. Now, at 19, he is deferring university and he is on
:23:02. > :23:06.the move again to London. He has set his sights on winning the only
:23:07. > :23:09.place left on the GB Canoe team for 2012. If you ever wondered how much
:23:09. > :23:19.sheer determination it needs to chase an Olympic Dream, our
:23:19. > :23:29.
:23:29. > :23:36.I liked the feeling of being strong when I am fighting against the
:23:36. > :23:40.water. I started the sport when I was 10 years old. My school had a
:23:41. > :23:46.link with the local canoeing club. I was one of the lucky ones that
:23:46. > :23:54.managed to start here. My biggest achievements have been winning a
:23:54. > :24:01.gold medal in the Junior World Championships three times. This
:24:01. > :24:08.year, I won silver at the European Championships. Now I want to win
:24:08. > :24:14.some individual medals. My family have been very supportive. They
:24:14. > :24:19.have had to drive me around the country. They come abroad to what
:24:19. > :24:22.to me as well. We are very proud of them and we follow all of his
:24:22. > :24:28.competitions. We really hope he does well and makes it to the
:24:28. > :24:34.Olympics. Canoeing takes up most of my life, really. I am always
:24:34. > :24:40.thinking about it. I am kind of obsessed. When I first started, I
:24:40. > :24:44.was coached by local coaches who are volunteers. Now I am on the
:24:44. > :24:49.Olympic development programme. I study sports science and management
:24:49. > :24:52.at Nottingham Trent University. I have chosen to do my second year of
:24:52. > :24:58.a two years and then I am moving to London and will be training full-
:24:58. > :25:02.time up until the Games. There is on the one place available in each
:25:02. > :25:11.category for the Olympics. There will be six people at the top
:25:11. > :25:17.fighting it out. The Olympics, for every athlete, is the biggest
:25:17. > :25:25.competition in the world. Everybody wants an Olympic gold. I would give
:25:25. > :25:31.anything to compete in the Olympics. Call for it! We are all rooting for
:25:31. > :25:34.Call for it! We are all rooting for him, not just his grandfather.
:25:34. > :25:42.Over the next few days, perhaps the most notable event will be
:25:42. > :25:46.tomorrow's rain. There is the potential for some fairly heavy
:25:46. > :25:49.rain, but, then again, some of you may escape with a mere spattering.
:25:49. > :25:52.You can see where the heavier rain in concentrated tomorrow from the
:25:52. > :25:55.darker shades of blue on the map. It is the southeast that is bearing
:25:55. > :25:58.the brunt but it tends to become watered down further North. There
:25:58. > :26:01.is a ridge of high pressure building in on Friday and then the
:26:01. > :26:05.next reference point will be this front that heads in over the
:26:05. > :26:08.weekend but the timing of that may leave the days dry. So, tonight,
:26:08. > :26:16.even though we have rain arriving tomorrow, the cloud will start to
:26:16. > :26:19.melt away leaving much clearer conditions. Some mist on the
:26:19. > :26:25.hilltops and a cooler night with temperatures dropping to ten
:26:25. > :26:35.Celsius in rural parts. But by tomorrow morning the cloud is
:26:35. > :26:42.
:26:42. > :26:45.beginning to thicken up from the South and rain arrives soon after.
:26:45. > :26:48.The heaviest of the rain will sit in the southeast, while the
:26:48. > :26:51.lightest of the rain falls elsewhere and in the north it may
:26:51. > :27:01.about to hardly anything at all. A cool day ahead as well with
:27:01. > :27:04.
:27:04. > :27:09.temperatures rising no higher than 16 Celsius. The rain then clears
:27:09. > :27:15.away tomorrow. The cloud breaks up and we all wake up to quite a bit
:27:15. > :27:18.of sunshine on Friday morning. There may be some high to medium
:27:18. > :27:25.level cloud bubbling up through the day but it stays dry and warms up
:27:25. > :27:27.too with highs of 22. Quite warm too with highs of 22. Quite warm
:27:27. > :27:30.over the weekend. A look at tonight's main headlines:
:27:30. > :27:33.After the worst violence in England for decades, the Prime Minister
:27:33. > :27:36.praises the courts for handing out stiff sentences to rioters.
