:01:05. > :01:10.Today from the BBC. Tonight, a ten- year-old child who was born a boy

:01:13. > :01:16.have agree frodtect has gender dysphoria, where a person feels
:01:16. > :01:21.trapped within the body of the wrong sex. Her mother says becoming

:01:28. > :01:32.More now from our reporter. would always choose the stereo
:01:32. > :01:38.typical girls toys. So if you put a truck in front of her, she wouldn't
:01:38. > :01:42.want to play with that. She would want to play with the Bar by.
:01:42. > :01:46.Saffron, not her real name describes how from two-and-a-half
:01:46. > :01:50.her child acted like a girl. Throughout the interview she
:01:50. > :01:54.referred to ten-year-old Libby, not her real name, as her daughter
:01:54. > :02:01.which is how the family have regarded her for years. It was Nat.
:02:01. > :02:07.She grew up, through the years, and just we just new knew that this was
:02:07. > :02:11.the way she was. Mum was buying my boys clothes, so, but whenever I
:02:11. > :02:19.wept over my friends' house I used to dress up in her clothes and get
:02:19. > :02:23.her make up on and stuff. It was, it was nice. Libby has gender
:02:23. > :02:27.dysphoria. Physically she is a boy, but in every other way feels female.
:02:27. > :02:30.Now she is batting with what the family call a media circus. After
:02:30. > :02:35.news leaked she returned to school at the start of term, dressed for
:02:35. > :02:42.the first time as a girl. I was scared what was going to happen,
:02:42. > :02:52.but I was really excited. For me going back as me. Is it too young
:02:52. > :02:54.
:02:54. > :02:59.to have made this decision? No. has been our daughter from age two-
:02:59. > :03:04.and-a-half, really. Saffron says staff and other parns have been
:03:04. > :03:09.supportive but a minority aren't. She was being called a freak long
:03:09. > :03:13.before she went back to school as a girl. They will never understand, I
:03:13. > :03:17.don't expect them to. I don't want them do I don't want them calling
:03:17. > :03:24.her a freak. The family hope this will help others. This is is a
:03:24. > :03:29.child and you live with it and you accept your child. No matter what.
:03:29. > :03:36.Libby will take hormone blockers when she is 12. Beyond that the
:03:36. > :03:40.family is take one day at a time. Jaguar Land Rover has been the
:03:40. > :03:44.undisputed star of this year's Frankfurt Motor Show, unveiling not
:03:44. > :03:50.one but three new concept cars, all designed here in the Midlands.
:03:51. > :03:56.Yesterday, it was a modern version of the classic E-type Jag. Today
:03:56. > :03:59.the DC 100 car, successor to the Land Rover Defender, the favourite
:03:59. > :04:06.of farmers the world over. Our correspondent has been in Frankfurt
:04:06. > :04:11.and sent this report. The undoubted star of this year's show, the CX16,
:04:12. > :04:17.two seater forts car, described as the successor to the E-type. It is
:04:17. > :04:22.the car many Jaguar fans have been waiting for. The E-type is such an
:04:22. > :04:27.iconic car. To reproduce that could be a mistake. It has worked well
:04:27. > :04:31.for brands like mini. But I think the pressure is on Jaguar to
:04:32. > :04:37.reinvent itself and to be more modern. But Land Rover was doing
:04:37. > :04:42.its best to steal the show with another iconic model. This time the
:04:42. > :04:46.DC 100 concept. The defender has a successful 63 year ris -- history.
:04:46. > :04:50.It is the model that gave Land Rover its name. Jaguar Land Rover
:04:51. > :04:55.has announced that production of the Defender at its factory will
:04:55. > :05:01.end in 2015, this DC 100 or something similar to this will
:05:01. > :05:04.replace it. For the company's design director refreshing the
:05:04. > :05:08.Defender hasn't been easy. It is about recognising that heritage,
:05:08. > :05:13.the uniqueness of that vehicle, but it needs to be looking forward.
:05:13. > :05:15.There are things that we couldn't do today, that were done back then,
:05:15. > :05:20.particularly in terms of legislation. Although it was well
:05:20. > :05:24.received it is clear ha the DC 100 and its sportier sister unveiled
:05:24. > :05:28.today, are taking Land Rover in a new direction. There is a lot of
:05:28. > :05:31.new Land Rover owners, and if you remember the press conference they
:05:31. > :05:36.were talking about staggering Newmarket, they are looking at
:05:36. > :05:40.China, rush, South America. The market is moving on. We are not
:05:40. > :05:46.just talking about Warwickshire farmers here. For the Indian owners
:05:46. > :05:51.Tata it was a big day and the chairman on hand to witness the
:05:51. > :05:55.unveiling's talked to Midlands Today. It is a lot of promise. A
:05:55. > :06:00.lot of excitement in what we have in new products. Coming from the
:06:00. > :06:05.company. I think this is just a teaser, if I might say so. Having
:06:05. > :06:09.survived one of the toughest recessions in their collective
:06:09. > :06:18.history, Jaguar and Land Rover are powering ahead. Today's unveiling
:06:18. > :06:25.showed how quickly that is happening. Exciting day there. We
:06:25. > :06:30.hope to be talking to Peter live in Frankfurt in a few moments from now.
:06:30. > :06:38.Well, still to come tonight. Changing the boundaries. While the
:06:38. > :06:41.West Midlands could lose five MPs under changes to constituencies.
:06:41. > :06:46.You have caused untold grief and suffering to already grieving
:06:46. > :06:50.families. The words of a magistrate passing sentence on a man who
:06:50. > :06:54.created abusive internet material about dead girls. Sean Duffy was
:06:54. > :06:59.convicted of what is known as traling. Writing offensive message,
:06:59. > :07:02.taking over a dead person's cyber identity, and posting macabre
:07:02. > :07:09.videos. Three families have this region who have lost teenage girls
:07:09. > :07:14.were among Duffy's victims. Lauren Drew was just 14 when she died from
:07:14. > :07:19.a suspected epileptic fit at home in Gloucester. Her parents' brief
:07:19. > :07:25.was made worse by what appeared on her Facebook tribute page. There
:07:25. > :07:30.was a video made, horrific, horror music and open graves, and bodies
:07:30. > :07:35.with maggots, saying this is what I look like now. It was the work of
:07:35. > :07:39.Sean Duffy, from Reading. The unemployed 25-year-old Asperger
:07:39. > :07:42.Syndrome sufferer was described as loner, and a victim of bullying. He
:07:42. > :07:48.was sentenced today to 18 weeks in jail and banned from social
:07:48. > :07:50.networking sites for five years. Duffy posted offensive material
:07:50. > :07:57.about Staffordshire schoolgirl Hayley baits who died in a car
:07:57. > :08:03.crash in autumn of last year. And 15-year-old Natasha McBryde, who
:08:03. > :08:07.threw herself in front of a train in Bromsgrove. Natasha's father
:08:07. > :08:12.said it made him feel physically sick. My feelings towards him, is
:08:12. > :08:19.one of anger, really. Initially. That he and other people in society
:08:19. > :08:22.have to, or are able to or feel they need to stoop to such depths.
:08:22. > :08:29.There are website communities dedicated to creating taunting
:08:29. > :08:33.images and videos. The content is typically racist, and sexually
:08:33. > :08:37.explicit and some so call trolls admit to thriving on other people's
:08:37. > :08:42.pain. You can't imagine anyone's motivation for doing something to a
:08:42. > :08:48.child who has just died. But it was frustrating because we didn't know
:08:48. > :08:55.who did it, and we thought is it someone we know, and I am glad it
:08:55. > :08:59.isn't. This is the UK's first trolling conviction. Union members
:08:59. > :09:03.have voted in favour of strike action at Shropshire council. It is
:09:03. > :09:07.over plans to cut their pay by 5%. As well as changes to their
:09:07. > :09:13.conditions. The council insists pay cuts are necessary to avoid making
:09:13. > :09:17.up to 500 redundancies. It is urging Unison to continue
:09:17. > :09:23.negotiations. A 14-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of
:09:23. > :09:27.causing death by dangerous driving in Wolverhampton, after a stolen
:09:27. > :09:31.motorbike crashed, killing another teenager. He died tat scene in Penn
:09:31. > :09:36.Fields. Police say the motorbike was ridden with a pill I don't know
:09:36. > :09:42.passenger when it left the road. At the age of 91, Teresa Jones hoped
:09:42. > :09:46.to live out her days in the dimension -- diMensa centre. Her
:09:46. > :09:53.needs have been reassessed an her family have been told she can't
:09:53. > :09:57.stay there any longer. Her family have accused the NHS of putting
:09:57. > :10:03.cost before care. It wasn't possible to visit Teresa Jones. The
:10:03. > :10:07.care home didn't think it was in her best interest. She has dementia.
:10:07. > :10:12.She sometimes recognises us but reare not sure she d does.
:10:12. > :10:16.Sometimes we go and we get nothing at all. Three years ago her family
:10:16. > :10:21.who live in Shropshire says they were made to put her into a
:10:21. > :10:26.specialist care home. Now, she is being reassessed. She is not really
:10:26. > :10:30.asked for much from from the country, and it just seems to me
:10:30. > :10:36.that it is wrong to, to turn round at what is approaching the end of
:10:36. > :10:41.her life, and say "We can move you like a, like a piece of furniture,
:10:41. > :10:45.to somewhere that is cheaper." I hope they will say it is not to do
:10:45. > :10:50.with funding, but it is. They are doing it because they want to save
:10:50. > :10:56.money. At this care home the family say that Teresa gets constant
:10:56. > :11:02.supervision. They say the NHS is passing responsibility for her care
:11:02. > :11:08.to Social Services. This year NHS Telford is spending �2.75 million
:11:08. > :11:11.less on continuing care. Nobody was available for interview so they
:11:11. > :11:16.couldn't comment on individual cases. All decisions are based on
:11:16. > :11:21.assessment, and cost isn't taken into consideration. Decisions are
:11:21. > :11:27.taken in partnership where the Local Authority, and the family.
:11:27. > :11:33.Three years down the line the dementia has got worse. They said
:11:33. > :11:37.she can go into a residential unit which is unbelievable. Just don't
:11:37. > :11:43.understand it at all. Tina Dene says they are appealing. It is
:11:43. > :11:53.giving her sleepless nights but he will do all she can. Her mother is
:11:53. > :11:56.still her mother after all. Much more ahead in the programme.

:12:14. > :12:18.this week? All the details coming A computer trader, fears this, his
:12:19. > :12:23.could be the first business to fail because of last month's riots. Sham
:12:23. > :12:27.Sharma lost �50,000 of stock and wants to put up security shutters
:12:27. > :12:34.as protect snun the future. But he needs to wait for planning
:12:34. > :12:39.permission. The delay could prove fate toll the business. Like bees
:12:39. > :12:44.round a honey pot A YouTube video captures the moment looters move in
:12:44. > :12:49.on this computer shop in Broad Street. Inside the owner was held
:12:49. > :12:53.by the neck, as round �50,000 worth of stock was stolen. Today the shop
:12:53. > :12:59.is closed and stand empty. The proprietor says he is afraid to
:12:59. > :13:02.restock until he can make his premises secure with metal
:13:02. > :13:06.shuttering. But for that he needs planning permission, by the time he
:13:06. > :13:12.gets it he fears it could be too late. The result of me not being
:13:12. > :13:17.able to open the business again, it is put a pressure on the three jobs.
:13:17. > :13:21.So, if I carry on much longer, like this. I might not be able to open
:13:21. > :13:26.again. Other shops in Wolverhampton and many more across the rest of
:13:26. > :13:30.the was wids were damaged by the rioters, if their insurance doesn't
:13:30. > :13:34.provide enough cover they can apply for compensation from the police an
:13:34. > :13:38.is there is a separate pot of Government money specifically set
:13:38. > :13:42.aside to help businesses get back on their feet. None of that would
:13:42. > :13:45.appear to help Sham Sharma and his planning problem. The City Council
:13:45. > :13:49.suggested he goes for internal shuttering which could be fitted
:13:49. > :13:54.immediately but they say for what he wants there are rules. It is
:13:54. > :13:57.clear while the riots may be fading in many people's memories for
:13:57. > :14:05.businesses like this the impact is still very real and still very
:14:05. > :14:10.damaging. A Wolverhampton council told us that financial help with
:14:10. > :14:14.business rates and to improve security would be available to Sham
:14:14. > :14:18.Sharma. The riots of last month brought into focus the relationship
:14:18. > :14:26.between police and young people. Police see improving relations as
:14:26. > :14:30.one o their top priorities. Let us go live to Joan Cummings. There is
:14:30. > :14:34.lots of smiles here tonight. This is the young celebration, which is
:14:34. > :14:38.basically a consultation process, with West Midlands authority. There
:14:38. > :14:42.has been cheers here-with the young people celebrating themselves and
:14:42. > :14:47.why not? But of course last month we did see some very distressing
:14:47. > :14:51.scenes out on the streets, and tonight the youngsters themselves
:14:51. > :14:55.are going to be asked what did they think caused it. Tom, what is your
:14:55. > :15:00.answer? What do you think caused the riots? I believe it was a
:15:00. > :15:05.minority of people who wanted an excuse to rebel, and they kind of
:15:05. > :15:10.did that, in a way that was violent and not very nice. It is a minority
:15:10. > :15:15.of people. It doesn't display young people portraying them how we
:15:15. > :15:19.should be. Kirby, you involved with getting a space for people in
:15:19. > :15:23.Coventry. Why bother? Does it work. I think it does. If young people
:15:23. > :15:27.start working with the police and like the council at a younger age,
:15:27. > :15:30.it gives a longer time to work together and make things bet for
:15:30. > :15:35.people who are here and just better opportunities for everyone all
:15:35. > :15:39.round, and a better understanding of each other. This isn't really
:15:39. > :15:45.working, these are the good kids what about the rest? One has to
:15:45. > :15:48.accept that in any community there are those children who are greatly
:15:49. > :15:52.challenged, but we still cannot afford give up on those children,
:15:52. > :15:57.they are human being, they have a life. As a community and society,
:15:57. > :16:00.we have got to find a way of working to enhance all our
:16:00. > :16:04.communities to be good citizens of the West Midlands. I have to say we
:16:04. > :16:08.have already heard tonight, that the views of the youngsters here
:16:08. > :16:11.tonight, will be taken into account, we have the Chief Constable coming
:16:11. > :16:14.later, we have the chairman of the police authority, they going to
:16:14. > :16:21.listen and they say they will make a difference. Now back to you in
:16:21. > :16:25.the studio. West Midlands will lose five MPs as part of a plan to cut
:16:25. > :16:30.the cost of Parliament by reducing the number of Parliamentary seats
:16:30. > :16:35.by 50. At the moment, the West Midlands has 63 MEPs of Parliament.
:16:35. > :16:38.That could down to 58 in any election after 2013. Big city
:16:39. > :16:46.losers could include Birmingham and Stoke-on-Trent. Loud low and
:16:46. > :16:51.Leominster which return two MPs could merge, leave Philip Dunn and
:16:51. > :16:55.Bill Wiggin to fight it out for a single seat. Why is this happening?
:16:56. > :17:01.Is it about saving money? That is part of it. The other big point ant
:17:01. > :17:07.this, is that at the moment, some constituencies have as few as
:17:07. > :17:11.55,000 voters, others have as many as t 0 thousand so the big idea is
:17:11. > :17:16.to standardise them round about 76,000. Some MP also lose their
:17:16. > :17:20.seats. They won't be thrilled about that. There are predictions of
:17:20. > :17:24.internal warfare. A challenge nor the whips. Imagine the potential
:17:24. > :17:28.fall out between three Black Country civet MP, mar Joe James,
:17:28. > :17:33.James Morris and Chris Kelly who could find themselves competing for
:17:33. > :17:36.two seats. A similar situation in grum. The other way round for two
:17:36. > :17:41.Labour shadow minister, who may find their constituencies merge
:17:41. > :17:45.into one. Then you have this extraordinary situation with two
:17:45. > :17:50.Conservative MPs on collision courses, if their constituencies
:17:50. > :17:55.are merged into one seat, would you believe it straddling the
:17:55. > :17:58.Shropshire Herefordshire border. will be helpful for each party to
:17:58. > :18:02.work out selection rules so it is clear the basis on which colleagues
:18:02. > :18:05.can stand for their existing seats or neighbours seats. It is
:18:05. > :18:12.difficult and when you lose your constituents which some people will
:18:12. > :18:15.have, that is a painful process, because these are people you work
:18:15. > :18:19.for, you become deeply found of, proud of. I love my constituency
:18:19. > :18:25.and I don't want to lose any of it. There will be winners and loser, so
:18:25. > :18:31.which parties will win and which will lose out? Well funny thing it
:18:31. > :18:34.seems the boundary reviews are to the advantage of whoever is in
:18:34. > :18:39.Government at the time. In this case in our region Labour might
:18:39. > :18:43.expect to lose the most seat, the Conservatives the fewest, which
:18:43. > :18:50.would improve the Tories's position against the others by two or three
:18:50. > :18:54.seats. Thank you P The Wedgwood museum has been recognised by the
:18:54. > :18:59.run yun has been of international significance. Yet the future of
:18:59. > :19:06.what is arguably the finest vam Micks collection in the world hangs
:19:07. > :19:11.in the balance. It hangs on the result of a high court case. This
:19:11. > :19:14.museum is dedicated to the people who have made objects of great
:19:15. > :19:19.beauty from the soils of Staffordshire: But this world
:19:19. > :19:23.renowned collection could be put up for sale. To the dismay of the
:19:23. > :19:27.Wedgwood family. People come from all over the world, from America,
:19:27. > :19:32.and all over Europe, and Japan, they dom Stoke-on-Trent and they
:19:32. > :19:37.look at this collection and they say, wow, this is amazing. So, it
:19:37. > :19:42.would be absolutely ridiculous for this to be scattered across the
:19:42. > :19:46.globe. This is our history. This case reinvolves round pensions.
:19:46. > :19:50.There was a pot paid into my members of the company pension
:19:50. > :19:54.scheme. A separate pot was established for the museum, into
:19:54. > :19:58.which significant donations were made. The problem came, when the
:19:58. > :20:03.company collapsed into administration, with debts. Five
:20:03. > :20:08.workers who I had into this scheme worked for the museum. The question
:20:08. > :20:13.is, whether money from this pot can be used to pay the pension funds
:20:13. > :20:18.deficit. If a Jung decides the answer is yes, the museum's
:20:18. > :20:22.treasure s could go under the hammer. Stoke-on-Trent is the
:20:22. > :20:27.Potteries. Testify founded on the ceramics industry. We are proud of
:20:27. > :20:31.that connection and that connection to Wedgwood, so to have this
:20:31. > :20:34.collection ripped away from us on an obscure legal technicality would
:20:34. > :20:40.be a cultural crime. The future of this collection is expected to be
:20:40. > :20:48.decided by the end of the year. The master potter yosh ya Wedgwood's
:20:48. > :20:51.legacy lies in the hands of a high court judge. Staying in the
:20:51. > :20:56.Potteries, stage three of the tour o Britain has taken place in and
:20:56. > :21:03.round Stoke-on-Trent. It is the fourth time the event has gone to

:21:13. > :21:18.centre: It hasn't seen the like. It is popular but today's crowd was
:21:18. > :21:21.different. They were here to see a true global superstar. Cyclist Mark
:21:21. > :21:25.Cavendish, winner of the green Jersey at the Tour de France. They
:21:25. > :21:30.waited for 45 minutes for him to emerge from his team bus, etch
:21:31. > :21:35.Cavendish's bike was worth a photo. There will be more support here,
:21:35. > :21:40.more general British support here than there is in the tour detrans.
:21:40. > :21:44.Everyone here is British. They will be cheering on the Brits so that is
:21:44. > :21:52.nice. Love Cavendish. I like watching him in the Tour de France.
:21:52. > :21:57.This was no one man race. Geraint Thomas was among the field, along
:21:57. > :22:02.with the current World Champion. It has at thracted a host of world
:22:02. > :22:06.class stars but which one will win? Today's 87 mile stage was hilly and
:22:06. > :22:11.windswept. There was an early break away of three riders but they were
:22:11. > :22:18.caught after gun hill. It all came down to a dramatic bunch finish.
:22:18. > :22:25.is looking like... The Dutchman spoiled the British party. Thomas
:22:25. > :22:32.was third. Cavendish fifth. Boom took the leader's gold Jersey
:22:32. > :22:38.of people, a lot of people come out to cheer us, and that, that is
:22:38. > :22:43.really nice of course. They are cheering you even you were beaten.
:22:43. > :22:47.Yes they do. Stoke's reputation as a cycling city continues to grow
:22:47. > :22:56.and today the likes of Mark Cavendish gave the city that extra
:22:56. > :23:01.What a great atmosphere. Quick word about cricket. The County
:23:01. > :23:06.Championships coming to the boil. Two days to go. Warwickshire have a
:23:06. > :23:10.first innings lead against Hampshire who will resume on 57
:23:10. > :23:16.without loss but wust sire are almost safe from relegation despite
:23:17. > :23:25.losing Fife wickets for five runs against Durham. To a long running
:23:25. > :23:31.mystery that has been solved in the Cotswold. It involves a writing
:23:31. > :23:37.desk, a telegram from Noel Coward and Agatha Christie's knickers.
:23:38. > :23:43.This bureau had lain in a store room for five years. His client
:23:43. > :23:46.bought it from one of Agatha Christie's former homes. Clive took
:23:46. > :23:51.it apart and something fell out when he was working on it. This is
:23:51. > :23:58.what he found. A folded piece of paper. When he opened it he
:23:58. > :24:03.couldn't believe what he was reading. It was a telegram sent in
:24:04. > :24:08.1957 from Noel coward. Dear Agatha Christie I must congratulate you on
:24:08. > :24:15.the Mousetrap breaking the long run record. All my good wishes Noel
:24:15. > :24:22.Coward. So this is an amazing piece of history. The Mousetrap opened in
:24:22. > :24:29.1952 and clocked up nearly 2,000 performance, Noel Coward would have
:24:29. > :24:38.felt pain because the play had taken the record from his play
:24:38. > :24:44.Blyth Spirit You think a. If I have found anything of this ilk again, I
:24:44. > :24:46.should be very lucky. Seen here at the 21st an versery of the
:24:46. > :24:52.Mousetrap Agatha Christie never made any money from her play. She
:24:52. > :24:58.signed the rights over to her grandson before it opened. She was
:24:58. > :25:02.an mieder -- admirer of Noel Coward's, to have an
:25:02. > :25:06.acknowledgement of, you know, her - - achievement would have pleased
:25:06. > :25:10.her very much. It wasn't though just the telegram that Clive found.
:25:10. > :25:20.Crammed into the inside of the bureau was a receipt from a
:25:20. > :25:24.lingerie and night wear company for �24 in the name of ago that city's
:25:24. > :25:32.married name. It is the telegram that stand out. Written with an
:25:33. > :25:37.honesty that people who knew Noel Coward would have come to expect. I
:25:37. > :25:43.don't claim to be an expect, that was a lot of money. �24. Should
:25:43. > :25:46.have gone Marx and Spencers or anywhere es of that ilk. There are
:25:46. > :25:50.anywhere es of that ilk. There are many stores like that. We will get
:25:50. > :25:53.into trouble. Well, the wind were tamer today but you can breathe a
:25:53. > :25:57.sigh of relief because I think it will stay that way for the rest of
:25:57. > :26:01.the week. Just a few slight variations however. But, we can
:26:01. > :26:04.take a look at the isobars at the moment. We are on in the back end
:26:04. > :26:08.of the vicious isobars from yesterday, but our attention turns
:26:08. > :26:11.to that front that moves down the the north and the high pressure
:26:11. > :26:15.that sweeps in from the south-west. As it pulls away, that opens the
:26:15. > :26:20.door to a couple of more fronts, so, let us take a look at tonight, and
:26:20. > :26:22.we can see that there is a bit of cloud round the region, but it is
:26:22. > :26:27.clearer towards the south and because of that temperatures
:26:28. > :26:31.tonight will drop a bit lower, to about 10C. Elsewhere lows round 11
:26:31. > :26:35.or 12. Row can see the effects of that front that is heading down
:26:35. > :26:38.from the north later on. Silt a decaying feature so it will only
:26:38. > :26:42.produce a fou showers for that part of the region and there is more
:26:42. > :26:45.cloud as wellment so for tomorrow it is a fairly pleasant day, I
:26:45. > :26:48.think for the start of the north of the region, I think it could be
:26:48. > :26:51.cloudier there, with some dribs and drabs of rain. That dies away and
:26:51. > :26:55.we start to see the sunshine breaking through during the
:26:55. > :26:58.afternoon. So that will take the temperatures up to 17 or 18
:26:58. > :27:02.tomorrow. Slightly warmer than today, and more so because the
:27:02. > :27:07.winds will be lighter than that westerly direction, just a brisk
:27:07. > :27:13.breeze of round 10-13mph. For Thursday, has the high pressure
:27:13. > :27:17.positions itself over us, the winds are slack, so it is much calmer day,
:27:17. > :27:20.temperatures may be a little lower at 17C, that is because we have a
:27:20. > :27:26.at 17C, that is because we have a lot of cloud that may produce rain.
:27:26. > :27:29.Let us look at the main headlines. The cost of living rises again as
:27:29. > :27:34.inflation gets close to a three year high. And here, a mother tells
