:02:01. | :02:02. | ||

Estate in Erdington. More than half the patients | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
admitted to a Birmingham eye treatment centre have been treated | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
for a serious infection that could lead to blindness. Doctors at | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
Birmingham's City Hospital say there has been a significant rise | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
in the number of people with an aggressive contact lens-related | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
infection. This student nearly lost to sight | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
after she developed an infection while wearing contact lenses. | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
My eyes became sore and swollen. They told me it was a rare | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
infection but quite serious. If they had not founded earlier that | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
was the potential for me to go blind. When I found out, it was | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
quite shocking. The infection is one of the most | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
aggressive eye infections and can spend with -- spread within days, | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
causing inflammation. If untreated, it can lead to blindness. Of 192 | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
patients traded at this hospital over a four-month period, more than | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
half had a serious infection. Some of them may have suffered serious | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
damage to their site. This man specialises in treating | :03:37. | :03:46. | |
eye infections. He says that a major cause is poor hygiene. Some | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
people do not wash their hands when they are handling their lenses. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Sometimes it is to do with tap water. It sometimes has some of the | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
nastiest bugs in it. This girl now needs regular | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
eyedrops. The advice is that, if you are in doubt, seek help. | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
A Gloucestershire war memorial that was smashed by vandals last year | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
has been rebuilt. The monument could not be repaired, so now, | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
:04:29. | :04:31. | ||
after months of painstaking work, a replacement is almost finished. | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
Imagine doing this every day. It is a job for a perfectionist. I am | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
just putting the last finishing touches on the detail. I am making | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
it nice and sharp. A group of Gloucestershire stone | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
masons have been chipping away for months, trying to get it right. | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
They are creating something they never thought they would have to. | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
It does add to the pressure, year. It is a piece which everybody will | :04:55. | :05:05. | |
:05:05. | :05:05. | ||
be able to see. To get it right, there was a lot of pressure. | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
In October, the war memorial was knocked over and smashed into | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
pieces, some of which were simply dumped by the roadside. Many of the | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
villagers at Prestbury have relatives whose names are inscribed | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
here. I was in tears when I saw what these people are done to the | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
war memorial. It was awful. names are still present in the | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
village. One could see that they do belong in this place and that is | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
important for people to see that they are still there. The new | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
sculpture will be unveiled on 14th April. Clegg will be 91 years to | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
the day since the original was put in place. | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
The football now. It is half-time in Aston Villa's game against Stoke | :05:57. | :06:05. | |
City. Aston Villa are winning 1-0. Coventry lost 3-1 against Bristol | :06:05. | :06:14. | |
City. The Blues a leading against West half -- West Ham at a time. | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
One result from League 1. Walsall have gone down 1-0 at Charlton. | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
:06:30. | :06:41. | ||
Hereford have lost to Accrington Telford's match against Tamworth | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
was abandoned after 43 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch. | :06:47. | :06:56. | |
I think some people would find today's whether a welcome change. A | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
soggy day. This week will be a welcome change because we have some | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
April showers on the way. You will find in the next couple of hours | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
that the rain will clear away to the east. There are a few showers, | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
particularly in the West. There could be a touch of frost in | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
sheltered spots as temperatures fall away. There windy gusts of | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
around 35 mph Rover made. There will be a lot of sunshine first | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
thing tomorrow, but turning wet through the day as an area of | :07:33. | :07:42. | |
showers moves in. It will be quite breezy and cold in the showers. | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
That is the way it goes for the rest of the week. Showers during | :07:46. | :07:53. |
