:00:17. > :00:22.It is bad enough to score keep me awake and I have slept through

:00:56. > :01:00.the best in the business at Good evening, welcome to Tuesday's
:01:00. > :01:03.programme from the BBC. Tonight, gale-force winds leave a trail of
:01:03. > :01:06.destruction amid warnings they could be more stormy weather on the
:01:06. > :01:11.way this evening. Dozens of fallen trees had to be
:01:11. > :01:15.cleared from roads and power lines were brought down as winds gusted
:01:15. > :01:19.up to 64 miles an hour in places. A popular tourist attraction in
:01:19. > :01:23.Worcestershire was also badly damaged. Tonight, there are three
:01:23. > :01:27.flood warnings in place and the Environment Agency is standing by
:01:27. > :01:32.to erect flood depend -- look flood defences on the River Severn in
:01:32. > :01:38.Shrewsbury. A major clear-up operation near
:01:38. > :01:44.trailing 10 in Warwickshire. It is a scene repeated all over the
:01:44. > :01:48.region -- and it Tredington. It was not just fallen trees
:01:48. > :01:53.causing problems for drivers, heavy rain during the rush hour made the
:01:53. > :01:58.new year return to work much more difficult. For some, there was
:01:58. > :02:02.disruption of a different kind. At Sherborne near Warwick, engineers
:02:02. > :02:06.were called out to repair telephone lines. Very strong winds overnight,
:02:06. > :02:10.one dead tree came down in the lane outside and a couple of hundred
:02:10. > :02:14.yards away from the House, another tree has split and broken a
:02:14. > :02:19.telephone wire. That is why BT are here putting the new telephone wire
:02:19. > :02:24.in. Across the region, there were scores of incident, the worst in
:02:24. > :02:30.places like lemon tint where a fallen tree blocked the A445 for
:02:30. > :02:34.several hours. In Shropshire, power cables were brought down. In new

:02:55. > :02:58.maintenance that we had this year. This was the scene in Sri spree
:02:58. > :03:04.this afternoon where rising water levels on the River Severn have
:03:04. > :03:08.meant that the environment agency is having to erect flood barriers
:03:08. > :03:13.in the next 24 hours. With the possibility of more stormy weather
:03:13. > :03:18.on the way, today the RAC was issuing valuable advice to drivers.
:03:18. > :03:23.In these windy conditions, it is better not to have a roof rack or
:03:23. > :03:28.roof box on the vehicle. Also, look out for where you think there might
:03:28. > :03:34.be cast of wind. If you are coming out from a patch protected by trees,
:03:34. > :03:39.going over Highbridge, those places are risky. After the storm today,
:03:39. > :03:43.there was also a rare appearance of the sun, and even some blue-sky.
:03:43. > :03:47.Hopefully not the lull before yet another storm.

:04:18. > :04:25.tonight? It is not too bad. We have a one or two trees out around
:04:25. > :04:31.stature, but everything else is OK. Were you surprised by it the
:04:31. > :04:37.disruption? Not really, we were forewarned so we were on top of it.
:04:37. > :04:39.What about other methods, the railways have been hit? They were,
:04:40. > :04:44.the Charlton railway services were affected but everything else seems
:04:44. > :04:49.back to normal. How important is things like this when it is
:04:49. > :04:54.broadcast on the radio to drivers? Very important and it is a two-way

:05:28. > :05:33.fairly strong and gusty winds. It was during the rush-hour that
:05:33. > :05:37.things got really interesting. You can be -- pick out this vivid band
:05:37. > :05:43.of colour, this was a violent weather front. We had some very
:05:43. > :05:51.heavy rain and the wind arrows were converging on that line, us very

:07:15. > :07:22.this time. To think that something happened -- terrible has happened
:07:22. > :07:32.comes as a great shock. And also, the local community itself I think
:07:32. > :07:32.
:07:32. > :07:36.suffers when something like this happens. The result of post mortem
:07:36. > :07:40.examinations are not expected until tomorrow at the earliest. Police
:07:40. > :07:43.have described this as an isolated incident. Forensic teams are
:07:43. > :07:47.expected to be here for several days, carrying out a detailed and
:07:47. > :07:54.thorough examination inside for evidence to help explain how this
:07:54. > :07:57.couple died. CCTV pictures have been released of

:09:31. > :09:36.childhood meant she did not do as well as expected at school and
:09:36. > :09:41.struggled to find work but she has become a photographer. From a very
:09:41. > :09:46.early age where my parents split, there was no routine. Being split
:09:46. > :09:50.between two people entirely, it was very difficult for them to install
:09:50. > :09:54.any regularity. There is no real structure. The Prince's Trust
:09:54. > :09:59.helped her to set up her own business. Research published today
:09:59. > :10:03.by the charity show the young people like her struggle with exams
:10:03. > :10:06.and faced lower self confidence. This report highlights that beer --
:10:06. > :10:14.and lack of structure and writing in the young person's life have a
:10:14. > :10:19.devastating effect. And a direction as teenager can become a lost adult.

:11:52. > :11:55.during normal working hours, but the closure of A&E overnight
:11:55. > :12:00.appears so far to have gone without a hitch. Managers are working to
:12:00. > :12:04.reopen it, but hint that in the long term things may have to change.
:12:04. > :12:07.The future sustainability and the long-term picture is something we
:12:07. > :12:12.will work with the Primary Care Trust to determine whether or not
:12:12. > :12:15.there is a demand in the future for a full A&E department or whether we
:12:15. > :12:19.should look at an urgent care centre. Well-wishers leave messages
:12:19. > :12:24.showing public opinion is very much in favour of an A&E. Interviews for
:12:24. > :12:29.more staff take place in just over a week. It may seem unlikely today
:12:29. > :12:33.but the unusually mild weather means the system hasn't been tested.
:12:34. > :12:39.It may take a really cold spell to find that once and for all whether
:12:39. > :12:42.the NHS can survive without a 24 hour A&E department in Stafford. In
:12:42. > :12:44.perhaps the first signs of more stress in the system, new Cross
:12:44. > :12:50.Hospital in Wolverhampton accepted 11 ambulances from Stafford last
:12:50. > :12:54.night. We could continue at these levels but I think we have to make
:12:54. > :12:59.the point Mike that the department we are standing in really doesn't
:12:59. > :13:08.need -- it really does need to be up graded just to deal with the
:13:08. > :13:12.normal casualty population. It is not that the purpose. -- it is not
:13:12. > :13:15.that the purpose. Those campaigning for 24 hour opening at Stafford are
:13:15. > :13:17.worried about a national agenda to downgrade hospitals, saying people
:13:17. > :13:20.elsewhere were also told it was working well. They are sceptical
:13:20. > :13:22.that three hospitals should make the same decision. Pontefract A&E
:13:22. > :13:25.temporarily closed on November 1st, Central Middlesex Hospital did so
:13:25. > :13:32.on November 14th and Stafford was on December 1st. We don't want to
:13:32. > :13:37.become a statistic like other places have done. It is threatening
:13:37. > :13:40.the services at the hospital. are urging the people of Stafford
:13:40. > :13:43.not to take anything for granted. Michele is here now. So, the big
:13:43. > :13:46.question now is will the accident and emergency unit open on time at
:13:46. > :13:50.the beginning of March? It is impossible to say. I have
:13:50. > :13:53.spoken to senior people in the NHS who do not think it will ever
:13:53. > :13:58.reopen but at the same time the hospital remains adamant, although
:13:58. > :14:01.they suggest that timescale may slip but what is clear that A&E
:14:01. > :14:07.departments are changing for safety reasons and because they need to
:14:07. > :14:11.save money and in the longer term we make get an urgent concern to

:14:20. > :14:24.have spoken to an elderly couple where the husband had a stroke on

:14:32. > :14:37.to Stoke-on-Trent. She knew New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton and
:14:37. > :14:41.she picked them to take him there, and she followed on in a car. There
:14:41. > :14:46.was a case of a teenage girl who had to wait is six -- you had to
:14:46. > :14:49.wait six hours, and a five-month- old baby where there were issues
:14:49. > :14:54.and it had to be taken to Wolverhampton which was
:14:54. > :14:59.inconvenient. In all of these cases, there were no real issues. It could
:14:59. > :15:04.have been worse, couldn't it? could have been and with a cold
:15:04. > :15:06.snap like last year, we may have had large numbers going into the
:15:06. > :15:10.accident emergency departments and we don't know whether they would
:15:10. > :15:13.have been able to continue with those larger numbers.
:15:13. > :15:16.Still to come in tonight's programme. After a frustrating ten

:15:28. > :15:31.Plans for a directly elected Mayor for Coventry have been officially
:15:32. > :15:35.opposed today. Councillors say they don't want a Boris Johnson-style
:15:35. > :15:40.city boss. The rejection comes just five months before referendums in
:15:40. > :15:43.both Coventry and Birmingham on the issue. Ben Godfrey reports.
:15:43. > :15:45.This painting shows the Queen with the traditional Lord Mayor in his
:15:45. > :15:52.refinery but could future works portray Coventry's answer to Boris
:15:52. > :15:57.Johnson? The city's Council Chamber is used to its power struggles.
:15:57. > :16:00.Mayors have taken their seats since the 1300s. But the Government's
:16:00. > :16:08.desire for a Mayor elected by the people, has prompted something of a
:16:08. > :16:14.revolt. The Labour-led authority says it can't and won't work here.
:16:14. > :16:19.There is no appetite for it. As councillors, people don't engage us.
:16:19. > :16:25.They engage us about a variety of issues about the quality of
:16:25. > :16:28.services we provide. It is 2012, we don't need an elected mayor to
:16:28. > :16:31.achieve that. In making its point, the Council's evoked memories of
:16:31. > :16:34.the Blitz. It was, they say, local councillors and not an elected
:16:34. > :16:37.Mayor who helped to rebuild the city after the Second World War. So,
:16:37. > :16:44.a Labour council opposes the idea. A Labour MP, Bob Ainsworth, wants
:16:44. > :16:49.the job if the people want him. current system of running our
:16:49. > :16:53.cities does not work. They cannot provide the leadership cities need
:16:53. > :16:58.in the modern age. If you walk the streets of Coventry, this is not
:16:58. > :17:02.their fault, but ask the people of Coventry, ask them who the leader
:17:03. > :17:06.is, who the deputy leader is, they don't know. Politicians have had
:17:06. > :17:12.their say, but it is the people of Coventry and Birmingham that will
:17:12. > :17:17.have their say and they will get the chance in May. If I was running
:17:17. > :17:21.a city, I would like to be a businessman. I would like to see a
:17:21. > :17:26.mare. If it is going to be good for Coventry and for people getting
:17:26. > :17:30.work. It doesn't involve me, I'm not fussed about any of it. I don't
:17:30. > :17:34.vote. They just all do the same thing, don't they? Stoke-on-Trent
:17:34. > :17:37.had a directly elected Mayor but in 2008, it scrapped the idea of a big
:17:37. > :17:40.city boss. One thing both sides of this debate can agree on -
:17:40. > :17:50.challenging voter apathy. You can't bring power to the people if the
:17:50. > :17:54.
:17:54. > :17:59.Talking about the power makes me think of darts. And that is the top
:17:59. > :18:02.subject for Dan today. Darts world champion Adrian Lewis,
:18:02. > :18:05.from Stoke on-Trent, says he's still in shock at retaining his PDC
:18:05. > :18:08.world title. Lewis beat another Stoke player Andy Hamilton at
:18:08. > :18:11.London's Alexandra Palace to retain his title. And as he's still only
:18:11. > :18:17.26, Lewis hopes his second world championship will be far from his
:18:17. > :18:20.last. A warning though, my report contains some flash photography.
:18:20. > :18:25.It was the night that Stoke-on- Trent was the centre of the
:18:25. > :18:31.sporting world. Two stars of darts went head to head for a world title
:18:31. > :18:33.and both from the same city. The masses had gone to London's
:18:33. > :18:37.Alexandra Palace to see Andy Hamilton, the contender... And
:18:37. > :18:42.Adrian Lewis, the holder. Understandably, both showed nerves
:18:42. > :18:49.at the start. But by set three, Lewis started to find his range.
:18:49. > :18:53.Back-to-back 180s almost gave him a perfect nine dart finish. The
:18:53. > :18:56.double escaped him on this occasion but it showed he was in it to win
:18:56. > :18:58.it and gradually he asserted himself. By the tenth set, he was
:18:58. > :19:03.ready to retain his trophy. Hamilton continued to show spirited
:19:03. > :19:12.resistance but Lewis secured victory by seven sets to three. And
:19:12. > :19:17.he was still reeling this morning. I am still in shock. I am delighted.
:19:17. > :19:21.So proud of myself. It shows all the work and practice and
:19:21. > :19:25.dedication has finally paid off again. But it was also a triumph
:19:25. > :19:31.for the city of Stoke. With Phil Taylor still world number one, what
:19:31. > :19:36.makes them so good? We have grit and character, a lot of
:19:36. > :19:42.determination. That is key. The quality in Stoke-on-Trent is
:19:42. > :19:46.fantastic. Adrian Lewis now aims to become the world number one and has
:19:46. > :19:54.a long term goal of ten world titles. It'll be hard but Adrian
:19:54. > :20:02.Lewis is from the right place to fulfil those dreams. What is it
:20:02. > :20:07.about Stoke-on-Trent and dogs? Several factors, the legacy, Bill
:20:07. > :20:12.Taylor was brought through 16 World titles, which will inspire people.
:20:12. > :20:17.We know that the City is passionate to football and all sporting things
:20:17. > :20:21.which has led to a vibrant scene. I spoke to some members of a club
:20:21. > :20:25.today and a trim was play is there in the league, it is like Wayne
:20:25. > :20:32.Rooney playing pub football, really, but they are very proud of the
:20:32. > :20:35.City's achievements. Great stuff. I think it is all down to the
:20:35. > :20:38.oatcakes. Aston Villa are hoping to sign
:20:38. > :20:40.Robbie Keane on loan from the LA Galaxy. The former Wolves and
:20:40. > :20:44.Coventry striker is currently training with Tottenham before
:20:44. > :20:48.returning to America in March. Villa and Wolves both kicked off
:20:48. > :20:52.the New Year with home defeats, as Ian Winter reports.
:20:52. > :20:56.First footing at Molineux, for the first footy of 2012. New Year
:20:56. > :21:00.resolutions include a nice new stand. And some blue sky thinking.
:21:00. > :21:07.Reach for the moon. And failing that, Premier League survival. Not
:21:07. > :21:12.to mention a fair crack of the whip from the men in the middle.
:21:12. > :21:15.wonder what kind of view he has got. Last Friday, Mick McCarthy invited
:21:16. > :21:18.the media to a film show, and asked how many journalists thought this
:21:18. > :21:21.tackle deserved a straight red card for Nenad Milijas. Next Friday,
:21:21. > :21:25.Mick would be entirely justified to ask the same question about Frank
:21:25. > :21:34.Lampard's tackle on Adam Hamill. But referee Peter Walton didn't see
:21:34. > :21:37.red, he saw yellow. Players have been sent off for that this season.
:21:37. > :21:42.And that's why Lampard was still on the pitch to deliver the killer
:21:42. > :21:47.punch two minutes from time. Frank Lampard should have not have put it
:21:47. > :21:54.into an empty net. I don't want anybody else's players sent off,
:21:54. > :21:59.but you know my beef with the authorities. Playing too many men.
:21:59. > :22:04.If you are playing alert very as well, that's too many. Why didn't
:22:04. > :22:09.the red card, out? Because the referee loves him. It is a big team,
:22:09. > :22:12.that's why. No wonder they were upset. They'd just seen Chelsea
:22:12. > :22:14.take the lead soon after the break, only for battling Wolves to
:22:14. > :22:18.equalise through Stephen Ward six minutes from time, before Lampard's
:22:18. > :22:21.late winner. Villa fans were also upset for a
:22:21. > :22:24.different reason. Not once, but twice, poor defending gifted a goal
:22:24. > :22:27.to Swansea. And another home defeat quickly killed off any seasonal
:22:27. > :22:32.goodwill following their shock win at Chelsea. But hats off to Peter
:22:32. > :22:37.Crouch. The Stoke City striker scored twice to beat Blackburn. And
:22:37. > :22:43.reached a personal landmark of 100 league goals.
:22:43. > :22:48.Tonight, BBC WM has full commentary on West Brom's trip to Spurs. The
:22:48. > :22:51.Albion captain Chris Brunt will miss the game. He's having a second
:22:51. > :22:53.scan on his injured ankle. And you can see all the goals from the
:22:53. > :22:56.Football League on the BBC Sport website.
:22:56. > :22:59.Steven Spielberg's new film War Horse is soon to reach our screens
:22:59. > :23:02.and one horse lover from Herefordshire is looking forward to
:23:02. > :23:05.it more than most. Revel Guest agreed to make a film with
:23:05. > :23:08.children's author Michael Morpurgo over ten years ago. But a lack of
:23:08. > :23:18.finances meant it never happened. Now, though, her labour of love has
:23:18. > :23:24.
:23:24. > :23:27.paid off, as arts reporter Satnam War Horse, a tale of friendship
:23:27. > :23:33.between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, set
:23:33. > :23:35.against the back drop of World War One and Rural England and Europe.
:23:35. > :23:37.But without Revel Guest from Whitney-on-Wye in Herefordshire,
:23:37. > :23:47.Oscar winning director Steven Spielberg wouldn't have made his
:23:47. > :23:48.
:23:49. > :23:55.latest film. He is a master at what he does. He has the same, if you
:23:55. > :24:04.possibly can, and this time did, grew around him. Knowing what he
:24:04. > :24:08.wanted as well as he did. So he could concentrate on the
:24:08. > :24:11.intricacies of the shooting. It was lovely to watch. It was a chance
:24:11. > :24:15.meeting as chair of the annual Hay Festival with Lee Hall of Billy
:24:15. > :24:17.Elliot fame that made Revel's dream come true. In 2006, she'd made an
:24:17. > :24:27.informal agreement with children's' author Michael Morpurgo to turn his
:24:27. > :24:32.book into a film. We all met up at his house and we liked and trusted
:24:32. > :24:38.each other. And agreed we would be the Three Musketeers, one for all
:24:38. > :24:42.and all for one, and have go. was it like Signor work being
:24:42. > :24:47.translated from pen and paper, you as a producer, on to screen and
:24:47. > :24:52.said? I had very misgivings about Hollywood. I knew very little about
:24:52. > :24:56.it except that it was jazzy. We have been treated unbelievably well,
:24:56. > :25:01.I have, I am talking about myself, and was always welcomed on the set
:25:01. > :25:07.and went to every different location, and it has been a delight
:25:07. > :25:11.for and extraordinary and memorable experience.
:25:11. > :25:14.And every man make himself and his country proud!
:25:14. > :25:16.The film goes on general release on 13th January. There'll be a special
:25:16. > :25:19.pre-screening in Hereford on 11th January in tribute to Revel's
:25:19. > :25:29.grandson darling son, Tom, who lost his fight against a brain tumour
:25:29. > :25:33.
:25:33. > :25:41.Ghosh, it looks good, doesn't it? I am looking forward to it.
:25:41. > :25:45.Now here's Ben Rich with the latest For most of us, the worst pass past
:25:45. > :25:51.but there are some further spells of wind and rain in the forecast.
:25:51. > :25:55.Tonight, for some of us, it is going to turn windy once again and
:25:55. > :26:00.there will be some showers. This big error of pressure in the North
:26:00. > :26:04.East, that is what brought the stormy weather but last night. Now,
:26:04. > :26:12.here, a little disturbance in the weather pattern, and it could turn
:26:12. > :26:17.things windy again. This cluster of showers will go into the North of
:26:17. > :26:21.the region. We could see wind gusts of about 60 mph just for a brief
:26:21. > :26:26.time and then things calm down tomorrow morning with temperatures
:26:26. > :26:30.dropping to about three. Tomorrow is a windy day but not as windy as
:26:30. > :26:36.it has been. A bright start but we will see cloud increasing and some
:26:36. > :26:44.outbreaks of rain working their way in. With the wind, it will feel
:26:44. > :26:49.chilly with high ice 7 or 8. Through tomorrow evening, we have
:26:49. > :26:55.winds picking up to the East of the Welsh hills, across parts of
:26:55. > :27:01.Shropshire and Hereford drill with 60 mph gusts, and some heavy rain.
:27:01. > :27:07.And with three flood warnings, that will not help the situation. If you
:27:07. > :27:12.are concerned about flooding, call the Floodline. Through the day on
:27:12. > :27:16.Thursday, things gradually calmed down. This ridge of high pressure
:27:17. > :27:21.noses its weight in, so the end of the week is looking settled, but
:27:21. > :27:24.the next few days, wind and rain. A look at tonight's main headlines:
:27:24. > :27:28.Two men are found guilty at the Old Bailey of murdering Stephen
:27:28. > :27:31.Lawrence. The teenager was stabbed to death at a bus stop in 1993.
:27:31. > :27:38.And gale force winds have caused havoc in the region with trees and
