Hello. Good evening. A young man who was permanently blinded after | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
being stabbed in the neck outside a nightclub in Hereford is planning | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
to start his new life at college, one year after the unprovoked | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
attack. Jack Hewitt was only released from hospital a week ago. | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
Learning his way to his new halls of residence, 22-year-old Jack | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
Hewitt is preparing to start a new life without his sight. Jack, who | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
was studying to become an engineer was out with friends when he was | :00:45. | :00:54. | |
stabbed with a broken bottle. He suffered a stroke and was in a coma | :00:54. | :01:01. | |
for weeks. His 21-year-old attacker has been given a life sentence. | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
Everything else in life fades into second place. Every waking moment | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
is occupied by thinking about Jack and how and if he might recover. | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
Jack spent 11 months in hospital. On his release he was given an | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
award for courage from his old college. I guess it is kind of | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
:01:33. | :01:33. | ||
remarkable. I'm just, I don't think of it really. You know? It's how I | :01:33. | :01:41. | |
am, really. In a week's time he's beginning a three-year course at | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
the royal national college for the blind. Knowing when hot water is | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
near the top of a cup is one of the every day tasks he is re-learning. | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
He has a wonderful sense of humour. He is very articulate. He is very | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
personalable and we are delighted to offer him this opportunity to | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
move on with his life. A life turned upside down, but it is one | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
he plans to embrace. Police believe a blaze which | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
destroyed a furniture store in Wolverhampton was started | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
deliberately. The fire which broke out at the furniture warehouse just | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
after midnight has destroyed 75% of the building. There were fears the | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
fire could spread to a neighbouring sports shop and a neighbouring | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
furniture store. Both buildings just suffered smoke damage. A | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
charity has welcomed a court order for some stroke on Trent City | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
council to halt services for deaf children. The National Deaf | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Children's Society said the authority has been reckless. The | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
number of specialist teachers has been halved in the last two years. | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
Now, the High Court will consider an application for a judicial | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
review of further cuts. With one year to go to the start of | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
the Paralympics, two of the Midlands hottest medal hopes can | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
not wait to get into action. Swimmers Sacha and Nyree Kindred | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
are looking to defend their titles in London. Their recent training | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
schedules have undergone some disruption. They now have a new fan | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
poolside. Sacha and Nyree Kindred are the golden couple of British | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
swimming. At their home in Hereford they have been joined by another | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
champion. Baby Ella arrived in June. She is already making a splash. | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
took her to water babies when she was four weeks' old. She loved it | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
in the water. She went underwater. It is going to take a few more | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
trips to the pool before she can hope to beat mum and dad in a race. | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
Sacha came hope with Gold from Beijing in 2008. If he makes the | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
squad, London 2012 will be his fifth Paralympics. I broke the | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
record last year. Hopefully I can try and retain the titles I won in | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
Beijing. It will be the hardest ever. Paralympic sport has moved en | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
masse sievely over the past few years. Wife Nyree was swimming | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
until the day before Ella's birth. My coach has a plan in place that | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
we can get there. At the end of the day, if you don't try, you never | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
know. It is hard to see where they would put any more silver wear. The | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
side board is not big enough to hold all the Paralympic medals they | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
have won between them. They have won 20. Not to mention the 14 world | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
titles and now they have another reason to win in 2012. In time she | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
will be proud of us and know we competed at the Olympics in 2012. | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
We want to bring back medals for Great Britain. Tickets for the | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
Paralympics go on sale on Friday week, that is September 9th. Two | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
football results in the Blue Square Now the weather. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Well, under the influence of high pressure this week it is looking | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
drier. Cool to start off with, but warming up by Friday. High pressure | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
asserts itself by Friday, killing off any stray showers. We have a | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
few in the north of the region tonight, where the thicker cloud is. | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
Elsewhere we have clearer spells. In rural parts temperatures could | :05:24. | :05:34. | |
:05:34. | :05:35. | ||
fall into single figures. Otherwise lows of tens and 11's. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
We have some sunshine, some good sunny spells to start off with. But | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
then clouding over during the afternoon. Predominantly dry | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
tomorrow. Up to 18 Celsius. Below afternoon. Similar on Wednesday, | :05:48. | :05:51. |
