:00:08. > :00:10.Good evening. The death of a student who was knocked down by an
:00:10. > :00:13.unmarked police car in Birmingham has been referred to the
:00:13. > :00:16.Independent Police Complaints Commission. The 24-year-old Chinese
:00:16. > :00:20.national was hit on Wednesday night as he stepped onto the road outside
:00:20. > :00:24.the Newtown Shopping Centre. Police say the car's blue lights and
:00:24. > :00:27.sirens were on the time of the collision. His family were due to
:00:27. > :00:36.fly into Birmingham his afternoon. The Pro-Vice Chancellor of
:00:36. > :00:44.Birmingham City University paid tribute to him. He was studying for
:00:44. > :00:48.a master's degree and was near graduation. He was very well liked,
:00:48. > :00:53.had a big group of friends and some of them had studied together before
:00:53. > :00:57.they came to Birmingham City University. The students tell us
:00:57. > :01:00.that he was full of fun, always make them laugh.
:01:00. > :01:03.A 35-year-old woman has been charged with the murder of a 92-
:01:03. > :01:05.year-old war veteran. William Davis was found dead at his home in
:01:05. > :01:08.Willenhall in the Black Country last Sunday night. Police say he
:01:08. > :01:11.died as a result of severe head injuries. The woman's due before
:01:11. > :01:17.magistrates tomorrow morning. Detectives are asking residents to
:01:17. > :01:19.check their bins and gardens for any trace of blood-stained clothing.
:01:20. > :01:22.Villagers have joined forces to mount a search for an elderly
:01:23. > :01:24.neighbour who's been missing for more than a week. Widower George
:01:25. > :01:34.Summerfield disappeared last Thursday without a trace. Sarah
:01:35. > :01:36.
:01:36. > :01:41.Falkland reports. Thank you for coming. This is a
:01:41. > :01:44.fabulous turnout. It is the second time they have set out on a search
:01:44. > :01:49.for George. The villagers are anxious to find the retired
:01:49. > :01:56.draughtsman who seemingly vanished. He was a lovely bloke. I saw him
:01:56. > :02:02.every day of my life and I've known him since I was a kid. A nice old
:02:02. > :02:06.man. Very friendly. It is strange how old he is sort of around the
:02:06. > :02:11.village and then disappears. last anyone saw of George was a
:02:11. > :02:16.week last Thursday. He was seen walking into the village. This is
:02:16. > :02:20.where he has lived for the last 40 years. He loved his cats and
:02:20. > :02:25.villagers say that is what is unusual about his disappearance,
:02:25. > :02:28.because he would never have left his pet. Police have sent out dogs
:02:28. > :02:33.and offices into the surrounding countryside but villagers feel they
:02:33. > :02:37.need to play their part. It is a small community and something like
:02:37. > :02:42.this does not have been in and out of village hens the turnout today.
:02:42. > :02:46.We are all worried about him and one to help find him. George is
:02:46. > :02:50.said to be of sound mind and not given to going far from the village.
:02:50. > :02:54.People here say they will not call off the searches until he is found.
:02:54. > :02:58.A man's been badly hurt in a fire in a derelict factory in Walsall
:02:58. > :03:01.town centre. It broke out last night in the old Bowker & Cox
:03:01. > :03:05.company premises on Lower Forster Street. The 37-year-old was taken
:03:05. > :03:10.to hospital with 40% burns. Police and fire officers are investigating
:03:10. > :03:12.how the fire started. Protesters fighting changes to how
:03:12. > :03:16.libraries are run in Gloucestershire say they might
:03:16. > :03:19.consider legal action. Yesterday, councillors announced that seven
:03:19. > :03:24.rather than ten libraries will now be offered to the local community
:03:24. > :03:32.to run or face closure. But the concession wasn't enough for
:03:32. > :03:36.campaigners, who were thrown out of the meeting for heckling. They
:03:36. > :03:40.barely changed at despite all the comments of people made, so I am
:03:40. > :03:42.disgusted with what is going on and I'm not prepared to let my angry
:03:42. > :03:46.about. And Gloucestershire County Council
:03:46. > :03:49.say they feel they've now found the right way ahead and that any threat
:03:49. > :03:53.of legal action is unfounded. Football, and it's a big weekend
:03:53. > :03:56.for Stoke City who play two local derbies in 48 hours. Tomorrow, they
:03:56. > :04:01.face a Wolves side in free-fall, and on Easter Monday it's Aston
:04:01. > :04:06.Villa, whose own Premier league survival is far from certain. Laura
:04:06. > :04:11.May McMullan reports. Their defeat at Wigan last week was
:04:11. > :04:19.a one off according to manager Tony Pulis. The Potters are currently on
:04:19. > :04:23.38 points and want to surpass their all-important target of 40. Our aim
:04:23. > :04:28.is to get in the top 10, and if we perform well starting at Wolves
:04:28. > :04:31.then hopefully we can do that. Stoke City have lost only four of
:04:31. > :04:41.their home Premier League games this season. The captain's
:04:41. > :04:47.
:04:48. > :04:57.consistent defensive display alongside Robert Huth has been key..
:04:57. > :05:03.We have a top player in natty. -- Matthey. The manager says it's a
:05:03. > :05:09.time in the season where the team can't be complacent. The effort and
:05:09. > :05:13.commitment to what we have taken on has been outstanding. We want to
:05:13. > :05:19.finish as high as we can and make sure it is a season that everyone
:05:19. > :05:24.talks about. And one talking point was Jonathan Woodgate's fitness.
:05:25. > :05:30.Asked by some special visitors during the press conference. Nick
:05:30. > :05:34.has been injured. You will meet him in a minute. A possible six points
:05:34. > :05:39.on the table for Stoke this weekend and Premier League state before a
:05:39. > :05:43.fifth season. As soon as we get past 40 are will crack a bottle of
:05:43. > :05:47.wine open and have a drink. There's been some action in League
:05:47. > :05:51.Two today, where Port Vale won 2-1 one at Aldershot. Cheltenham beat
:05:51. > :05:55.Barnet 2-0. A 1-all draw for Burton Albion at Dagenham and Redbridge.
:05:55. > :05:58.Hereford United against Plymouth ended 1-1. And the Shrewsbury
:05:58. > :06:01.Macclesfield game has just kicked off.
:06:01. > :06:05.In the Blue Square Bet Premier, Tamworth are playing Bath and AFC
:06:05. > :06:08.Telford face Newport County. Both matches were due to kick off a few
:06:08. > :06:18.minutes ago, so we'll have the results in our late bulletin at
:06:18. > :06:18.
:06:18. > :06:23.10:10pm. Now the weather forecast. This bank
:06:23. > :06:27.holiday weekend looks to be a cloud the affair. We have seen cloud
:06:27. > :06:33.sinking southwards during the day and that sings -- sticks with us
:06:33. > :06:38.for much of this weekend. Cloudy but it should stay dry although we
:06:38. > :06:43.are going to see some spits and spots of rain. Temperatures will be
:06:43. > :06:48.close to average for this time of close to average for this time of
:06:48. > :06:54.year. Overnight that cloud thickens. Some light patchy rain.
:06:54. > :07:00.Temperatures dipping to four or five Celsius. For Saturday, this
:07:00. > :07:05.weather front producing a lot of cloud. Light patchy rain through
:07:05. > :07:10.the morning. Those will ease and it turns drier for the afternoon.
:07:10. > :07:13.Still holding on to a lot of cloud. Temperatures peaking at eight or
:07:13. > :07:19.ten Celsius. For this weekend it should feel fairly pleasant
