Welcome to Midlands Today. Tonight... 22 cars set alight in | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
two weeks in just one town. Police arrested six people as a community | :00:16. | :00:24. | |
leads in fair. It is just senseless. -- lives in fear. The family of a | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
baby that died after being accidentally smothered feel let | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
down by social services. A father looks for answers after finding his | :00:33. | :00:38. | |

Wednesday's Midlands Today. Tonight, the hunt continues for members of a | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
gang of arsonists are leaving destruction across a town in | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
Shropshire. 22 cars had been torched in Telford in two weeks. | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
Residents are worried that if culprits are not caught, somebody | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
could be seriously injured, or killed. Six people have been | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
arrested but police are still hunting other suspects. The charred | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
remains of one of 22 cars set alight in an arson attack in | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
Telford. This taxi was torched in the early hours of Good Friday of a | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
private driveway. The owner was awoken by police and escaped with | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
his family as the flames caught his home cracking the windows. We could | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
tell it was cracked because of the fire. It had easily caught on fire. | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
This has broken. It has damaged my livelihood. I have got nothing. | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
apparently senseless attacks led to a trail of damage in Telford in the | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
past two weeks. The cars, park close to houses in the middle of | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
the night. Tina's may be that the vehicle was burned. -- mobility | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
difficult. She has now left a vehicle to miles away at her | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
parents''s home. -- at her mother and father's house. I was worried | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
and I have had advice around the area. His family became the latest | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
victims in the early hours of yesterday when they found that | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
their Vauxhall had been set alight. I have worked every day since I was | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
16 and I did not deserve it. Nobody deserves it and I did not know how | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
I will get to work tomorrow and get home. It is putting people out when | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
you do not want to be inconvenienced. Many people do not | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
have a spare car these days. Police are patrolling the streets and | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
working closely with the emergency services. The neighbourhood is a | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
little bit frightening. I talked to a lady in one of these houses and | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
she said that she was scared. She said that she was worried that if | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
they was a fire, -- there was a fire, she could not get out. Police | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
are appealing for information as the community is getting worried. | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
Here is our correspondent from Telford. It appears that the | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
Community are understandably quite scared. Yes, they really are. We | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
have seen this car in my report. It will set alight on the same night | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
and on the same street. It is next in another burning car and the | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
owners are standing side by side watching in horror. I am joined by | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
a chief inspector from West Mercia police. I understand you have made | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
six arrests. We have made another arrest. We have got a suspect in | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
custody and it is being dealt with by my colleagues. But we have not | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
had any charges. Six have already been arrested but on strict bail | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
conditions. That has helped us to sort out these offences but we have | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
not got any charges at the moment. What about the motives? We do not | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
seem to have any. They are different makes and models. | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
Individuals are not being targeted and not groups of individuals. This | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
is pure vandalism and criminality and we do not understand why it is | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
happening. It is just for kicks. The cars are Kate -- close to | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
people's homes. How concerned are you? We have not had this in the | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
entire year and to have had 22 since 27th March is very serious. | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
We are concerned that they are part close to addresses and we have to | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
be conscious about where these vehicles are parked. The police | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
have appealed for witnesses. You can contact Crimestoppers or | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
contact the non-emergency number. Coming up... Hopes and dreams. | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
Tears and laughter. We meet the prize winning grandmother that has | :05:36. | :05:44. | |
been asked to write a special poem for the Olympics. We feel let down | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
by social services. That is the message of the family of a baby boy | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
that have -- that has died after an accident in Staffordshire. Eight- | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
month-old Alfie Smith died after being accidentally smothered by his | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
sleeping father. The coroner said police and social services had made | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
mistakes in the run-up to his death. His grave in Stoke-on-Trent is full | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
of family tributes. He died before his first birthday. But the tragic | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
circumstances of his accidental death have led to questions about | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
his care during his life. The coroner heard that he died after | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
his father rolled on top of him in his sleep. But in the months before | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
his death, social services and the police had been involved with the | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
family because they were facing difficulties. The coroner said that | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
difficulties. The coroner said that it appears that people in high | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
positions at the council had not appreciated the failings which | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
existed and put a system in place to avoid what happened. He | :06:50. | :07:00. | |
:07:00. | :07:01. | ||
He had been placed in the care of Patricia Owen, his grandfather. | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
Other members of the family said they had raised concerns because | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
she struggled to cope. They made mistakes all along the way. I | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
thought that he was just dumped there. It did not take anybody with | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
a degree to realise that that poor lady was going to suck up with the | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
consequences for the rest of her light. -- suffer. She could not | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
cope. The case highlighted communication problems between | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
agencies that had come into contact with the family. Part of my role is | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
to make sure these actions did not disappear into the distance. That | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
we assessed periodically and make sure that we have got proper | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
systems in place. Following the inquest, the council and the police | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
had said that lessons had been learned by all agencies involved. | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
The coroner said ultimately that these mistakes and failures did not | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
affect the outcome for Alfie Smith. He recorded a verdict of accidental | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
death. But he said he was frustrated to see the death of a | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
child sleeping alongside an adult and said that was fraught with | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
danger. The message cannot be emphasised enough for parents. The | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
man convicted of murdering a teacher from Warwickshire in Japan | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
has lost his appeal against a light sentence. The body of Lindsay | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
Hawker, aged 22 and from Brandon, was found in his flat five years | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
ago. Tatsuya Ichihashi had argued that he had not intended to kill | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
her. Five people from the Walsall area have been arrested in | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
connection with the theft of antique china from the University | :08:44. | :08:51. | |
of Durham's Oriental Museum. An 18th century jade bowl and | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
porcelain worth �2 million were taken after a hole was made in an | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
outside wall on Thursday. Four people have been arrested on | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
conspiracy to commit burglary and a 5th has been arrested in connection | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
with assisting an offender. A father has been speaking about the | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
moment he found the body of his son under the M6 motorway in Birmingham | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
are. He had been out with friends and was found dead on waste ground | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
underneath the flyover. His family said that they have been left with | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
many unanswered questions. His death is being treated as | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
unexplained. Thomas Healy has been described as a gifted student. | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
Somebody that would do anything for anybody. His father made a | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
discovery nobody should ever make. It's was like your worst nightmare. | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
I walked along the motorway and I saw something in the distance just | :09:47. | :09:55. | |
lying down. It was my son. On Good Friday the 19-year-old met up with | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
friends and reminisced about his days in Bishop Vesey's Grammar | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
School in Sutton Colefield. They hired a taxi for a night out in | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
Birmingham before going back to university. What happened? We | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
understand that just before midnight the taxi pulled on to the | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
hard shoulder and he got out. His body was found the following day | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
below the fire there between junctions five and six. -- flyover. | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
If anybody has seen him and knows what happened, please contact the | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
police. The taxi company involved said that the driver stopped on the | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
hard shoulder for safety reasons because a passenger was trying to | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
open the door. Police are not taking further action. Friends had | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
gathered at the site to lay tributes. They are too distraught | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
to talk about what happened. They said it was still sinking in but | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
they like many others are trying to work out what happened on Friday | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
night. The family is waiting for the results of post-mortem | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
examinations. I would not wish that on anybody, to go through what we | :11:05. | :11:15. | |
:11:15. | :11:23. | ||
are going through. And... Everybody is going to miss him. Here is our | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
correspondent. Are the police closer to understanding exactly | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
what happened? Tonight we have had the results of post-mortem | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
examinations, confirming that he died because of injuries consistent | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
with a fall. Police have a officially said it is not explained | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
but they have said is not suspicious. They are appealing to | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
drivers that might have witnessed it to come forward. But it does not | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
answer the family's questions. What happened in the taxi? Why did | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
Thomas depart from the vehicle? How did he fall from the fire that? The | :12:00. | :12:08. | |
family might not actually get these answers. -- flyover? Speaking to | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
his father, he said that he does not apportion any blame. He just | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
wanted the full facts and then he would be able to properly mourn his | :12:18. | :12:28. | |
:12:28. | :12:28. | ||
son. A vegan campaign group has targeted Gloucester and said that | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
meat-eating can lead to an early death. They have come up with a | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
slogan called Fight Obesity - Go Vegan. They said they had chosen | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
Gloucester because a mortuary has opened that can take bodies that | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
way up to 50 stone. Health services have adapted to an obesity epidemic. | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
We have got special ambulances for headier patients, wider wheelchairs | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
and stronger operating tables. A mortuary has opened in Gloucester | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
that can cope with bodies weighing up to 50 stone and that is why it | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
has been targeted by this campaign. Some have been torn down but people | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
from the ethical treatment of animals have said that meat-eating | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
can lead to an early grave. We want to make people aware that eating | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
meat can be detrimental to health. We have seen an obesity crisis | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
already in this country. It is detrimental to the environment and | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
causes immense animal suffering. The campaign has not gone down well | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
with an industry that depends on eating meat. Chris Butcher is for | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
an healthy diet but he said that they are scared to mongering. -- | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
scaremongering. That to my mind is very good for you and I do not | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
understand. Nobody argues that obesity should not be tackled but | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
it appears that this poster is not getting the message across. But a | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
recent study indicated that a diet high in red meat can shorten life | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
expectancy. Is a vegan diet the way forward? A plant-based diet can be | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
a healthy approach to preventing cancer and obesity and more | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
wholegrain is better. But meat and dairy have got used all nutrients | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
like calcium. Have low-fat dairy and lean meat for nutrients but did | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
not make it the whole part of the diet. The company has not decided | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
whether or not to replace the poster or if it will be the start | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
of a wider campaign to fight to be city with a meat-free message. -- | :14:40. | :14:50. | |
:14:50. | :14:56. | ||
You do not like this poster? Why? It is extremely insulting to people | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
who may for no particular reason become obese. Either through | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
genetic problems or medical problems that they may have. The | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
second thing is that eating meat is not a passport to an early death, | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
it is the quantity that you meet and that is the real killer. | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
Particularly... You have just heard about red meat with the disposition | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
to heart disease. I think it is sending out the wrong message and I | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
am delighted that part of it has been torn down. In it is medically | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
wrong, are you saying that? It is radically wrong, yes. There are | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
things that people find real difficulty sometimes with regarding | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
their weight. It is an insult to those people and they really will | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
be extremely annoyed at this poster. Why are you so glad it has been | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
torn down? I understand parts of it has been -- have been torn down and | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
I hope PETA do not repeated. They do have a point about the danger of | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
pies? They do have a point. No smoke without fire. But I think | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
that as your dietician pointed out, a rounded diet which is a little | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
from all of the food groups is what you should be aiming for rather | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
than basing your intake particularly on meat. Thank you. | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
Still to come: once a hospital, later a school and now it is | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
derelict. But there is a lifeline for one of the region's historic | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
buildings. Do not be caught out by the showers. | :16:36. | :16:46. | |

More heading our way and they are A little way off the grass court | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
tennis season but we have some news. For 30 years, many of the world's | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
top women tennis players have made a beeline for Birmingham to warn | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
that for Wimbledon. Last year the Edgbaston Priory was almost | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
stripped of the AEGON Classic. Since then it has received a | :17:08. | :17:18. | |
:17:18. | :17:19. | ||
facelift. 19-year-old Heather Watson is the | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
British No. 3. Who better to inspire young children from the | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
Community Programme at the Edgbaston Priory Club? My ranking | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
night now is 115 in the world. -- right now. I am working hard to get | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
back inside the top 100. Last year she made her debut at the AEGON | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
Classic, the traditional stop-off point before Wimbledon. I love | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
playing this tournament. I had a lot of fun here last year. There is | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
always a great atmosphere playing here and I love the home crowd | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
support. It could have been very different. After 30 years of | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
staging the AEGON Classic, the club was under pressure to improve its | :18:00. | :18:09. | |
facilities or lose the tournament. Now the work is reaching completion. | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
Edgbaston Priory Club was not fit for purpose for major international | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
tournaments. We sat down with the City Council and the Lawn Tennis | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
Association to come up with a plan to provide the facilities the | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
players' required. News will get around on a tour to say, at bow to | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
the AEGON Classic, it is a great tournament with great facilities. | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
It is not just about the tournament. It is about the community and | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
investment in local parks and making sure this is a world-class | :18:39. | :18:48. | |
community facility as well. first big test will come in June. | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
The Worcestershire pace bowler Alan Richardson says he is honoured to | :18:52. | :18:57. | |

will be 37 next month and was the highest wicket-taker last season in | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
the county championship. His coach says he is an inspiration to the | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
younger players. I love watching him bowl. He is in the best years | :19:11. | :19:19. | |
of his life. He had an awesome achievement last year. He runs in | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
hard, as a good rhythm. He can do a little bit in the air and his | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
tremendous to watch. She was born in Jamaica and raised a family in | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
Birmingham and she has always loved expressing her emotions on paper. | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
Now Ita Gooden has won a competition linking poetry with | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
sport. She is one of a dozen poets chosen to compose an original verse | :19:43. | :19:47. | |

Poetry is have passion and now that passion is about to be given a | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
voice at the Cultural Olympiad. Ita Gooden has won a national | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
competition to find 12 poets to celebrate London 2012. Hopes and | :20:08. | :20:15. | |
dreams, tears and laughter, happiness and disaster, loyalty and | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
betrayal. In search of inspiration, Ita has popped into the Alexander | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
Stadium in Birmingham to meet Nathan Douglas, one of Britain's | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
top athletes. I am very intrigued to see what she comes up with. | :20:31. | :20:40. | |
you're a poet? Not really. I wish I was! Five years ago, he won silver | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
at the European Indoor Championships. He went on to | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
produce a top 20 finish in Beijing and now he is training hard for | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
London 2012 at Birmingham's High Performance Centre. Poetry in | :20:51. | :20:58. | |
motion for Ita Gooden. Look at that! The speed that he is going | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
at! Some inspiration there for a poem. Goodness gracious, yes. I do | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
not think my pen will ever go as fast! Ita was born in Jamaica so no | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
wonder she is looking forward to seeing the world's finest athletes | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
training in Birmingham. How about a poem for Usain Bolt to welcome him | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
to Birmingham? Is that a challenge? I will definitely do that. | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
Cultural Olympics are funded by almost �70 million of lottery money | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
and suitably inspired Ita Gooden is itching to start work on her | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
celebration poems of London 2012. I cannot wait to hear it Ita's poem | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
about Usain Bolt. Six straight defeats for the Wolves and only six | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
games left. They start tonight at home to Arsenal. The last time they | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
met in December, Steven Fletcher and a valuable point from a 1-1 | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
draw. Time is fast running out if Wolves are to survive in the | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
Premier League next season. BBC WM will have regular reports | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
from Molineux and full match commentary on West Brom's game away | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
to Manchester City. You can see all of the goals on Match Of The Day at | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
10:25pm. We have a message saying, they are | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
not in a relaxed state of mind. He is not the only one! | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
Where were we? One of the region's most important historic buildings | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
has moved a step closer to being saved. The 14th century former | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
grammar school has been derelict for more than 20 years. | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
Dating back to 1340, Coventry Grammar School as it is now known | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
first opened as an infirmary before becoming a hospital chapel and then | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
a school. It is a scheduled ancient monument on English Heritage's at | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
risk register. You can see why. Signs of rodents are one thing and | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
the abandoned state of some of the rooms another. The main hall is | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
pretty much intact with authentic furnishings. One of the most | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
interesting things in here are these wooden pews. Nobody knows | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
exactly how old they are but we can reference some kind of date because | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
there is some graffiti. If you look closely, you can see it is dated | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
17th 72. We have built around it without considering how important | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
it is. Let us repeat, it is probably the largest by far oldest | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
buildings still standing in the City. That is by about 200 years. | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
Now the Heritage Lottery Fund has earmarked the building for a grant. | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
It would be incorporated into the city's Transport Museum and used to | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
display this collection of artefacts from the car industry | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
which are currently kept in storage. All sorts of things, trophies, | :23:55. | :24:04. | |
magazines, books, a wards... A huge heritage for the city. Schools will | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
be able to come and see the objects and they will be able to see them | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
and see what sort of things we have on offer. The museum is now drawing | :24:12. | :24:20. | |
up detailed plans and hopes to get full approval early next year. | :24:20. | :24:29. | |
Let us find out more about the It was not a day to be caught | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
without an umbrella. You will find you will be ducking and diving over | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
the next couple of days. Quite a few showers around. By the weekend, | :24:38. | :24:46. | |
they will start to die out. Now, we have got quite a lot of fronts | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
hovering so that is why we have got showers over the next couple of | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
days. By Sunday, there will be one front heading in from the north. | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
You can see the isobars starting to tighten indicating strengthening | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
winds. Right now, it is looking quite bright because the showers | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
are beginning to die away. We still run the risk of thunder and | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
lightning until about 9pm. After that, much of more dry and more | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
clear. Down to two degrees which will give rise to a slight frost. | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
Also, some mist. That will clear by the morning. A cracking start to | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
the day with a lot of sunshine but not for long. The showers will | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
start to roll in and get there and congregate from the north-west. | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
They will be quite heavy once again. With lighter winds, a good | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
quantities of rain. Again there is the risk of thunder and lightning | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
and possibly even Hale. Top temperatures in the sunshine of | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
around 11 degrees. The skies will clear and the temperatures will | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
fall even lower through the night so head. More of a frost tomorrow | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
night. And again on Friday night. The winds will pick up and the | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
temperatures will drop. By the weekend, few are showers but it | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
will be colder. The headlines: jailed for 11 years, | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
the man who set fire to a furniture store in London during last | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
summer's riots. 22 cars set alight in just two | :26:12. | :26:16. |
