:00:08. > :00:11.with Joanne Malin and Nick Owen. The headlines tonight: Seven men have

:00:11. > :00:18.been convicted after a child prostitution ring was uncovered in

:00:18. > :00:21.Shropshire. We hope that the successful

:00:21. > :00:25.prosecution will encourage people who may have been victim to have the

:00:25. > :00:27.confidence to come to us and say this is what happened to me. We'll

:00:27. > :00:31.be live in Telford for local reaction to today's convictions.

:00:31. > :00:33.Also tonight: Nearly four decades on from the pub bombings - the family

:00:33. > :00:41.of a teenage victim get the backing of Northern Ireland's First

:00:41. > :00:44.Minister. I think it is necessary for these

:00:44. > :00:48.people to see there is a real attempt being made to try and

:00:48. > :00:50.pinpoint who has been responsible for those dreadful bombings in

:00:50. > :00:52.Birmingham. Workers at Herefordshire Council,

:00:52. > :00:56.angry over cuts, are to be balloted on strike action.

:00:56. > :01:06.Hanging up his hat after 36 years - the last traffic warden in West

:01:06. > :01:10.Mercia patrols the streets for the final time. Believe you me, he is

:01:10. > :01:13.very liked. He will be missed. And what a difference a week makes -

:01:13. > :01:23.after last weekend's glorious sunshine will this one be the same?

:01:23. > :01:25.

:01:25. > :01:28.I'll have the full forecast later. Good evening. A huge investigation

:01:28. > :01:34.into child prostitution in Shropshire has ended with seven men

:01:34. > :01:37.being jailed. This is the first time we're able to report the crime, as

:01:38. > :01:41.restrictions were lifted in court today. The girls, who were white,

:01:41. > :01:47.were groomed by a gang of British Pakistani men, but police say their

:01:47. > :01:50.actions weren't racially motivated. The girls were bribed with drinks,

:01:50. > :01:55.meals and mobile phones before being abused. Officers have praised the

:01:55. > :02:01.bravery of the victims who came forward to give evidence. They were

:02:01. > :02:07.aged between 13 and 16 and targeted because of their vulnerability. Our

:02:07. > :02:15.reporter is in Telford. Tell us what amended.

:02:15. > :02:21.These men operated as a group. There were two ringleaders. They picked up

:02:21. > :02:25.on all girls frequently on the streets in these locations. They

:02:25. > :02:30.were convicted of 26 charges including rape, human trafficking

:02:30. > :02:35.and child prostitution. The other men were convicted on related

:02:35. > :02:40.crimes. They have been sentenced to do 50 years between them. Some of

:02:40. > :02:45.the abuse was carried out in back rooms in takeaways. Other girls were

:02:45. > :02:48.taken further afield to Yorkshire and across the West Midlands. I have

:02:48. > :02:52.been speaking to Inspector Richard Langford and he has been working

:02:52. > :02:58.very closely with the local community.

:02:58. > :03:02.It has had a huge impact. We are a small market town and we have a

:03:02. > :03:06.small British Pakistani Muslim community. To have the spotlight of

:03:06. > :03:11.the local, national and international media looking at the

:03:11. > :03:18.town and this case has had a deep impact on the wider communities.

:03:18. > :03:23.What do we know about the way the girls were groomed?

:03:23. > :03:28.These girls were often befriended. It was a long grooming process. They

:03:28. > :03:32.were lonely and described as lacking in self-esteem. These men pretended

:03:32. > :03:38.to be their boyfriends. They bought the mobile phones only they could

:03:38. > :03:45.call them on. They wind can find them. Heidi is from the support

:03:45. > :03:50.group and explains what was going As a girl, a young lady, you think

:03:51. > :03:55.you are in love. You are dating this gentleman, he is my boyfriend and

:03:55. > :04:02.why would you think differently? So, you are in love, you trust this

:04:02. > :04:08.person and then suddenly everything changes. All of a sudden, he is

:04:08. > :04:15.asking you to do things because, don't you love me?

:04:15. > :04:19.What do we know about the background the girls came from?

:04:19. > :04:25.Police say there could be as many as 100, if not more than that, young

:04:25. > :04:30.girls who were at risk. The operation was set up in 2008 and

:04:30. > :04:35.they were tipped off or alerted by parents, in some cases, teachers in

:04:35. > :04:41.others, people concerned about changes in girls behaviour. We know

:04:41. > :04:44.that in many cases it was the parents who were concerned here.

:04:44. > :04:50.Tamsin from the victim support group has been working with many of these

:04:51. > :04:54.families. A lot of the impression is that it

:04:54. > :05:00.is from bad families. Actually, the majority of families that we know

:05:00. > :05:10.are very good, very supportive families. Loving families who would

:05:10. > :05:15.

:05:15. > :05:18.actually cherish the children and Police say that they have really

:05:18. > :05:27.expose a ring of dangerous predators here. They hope the sentences will

:05:27. > :05:30.deter others. Coming up later in the programme:

:05:30. > :05:38.How the emergency services rehearsed their response to a terrorist attack

:05:38. > :05:40.in Staffordshire. A family campaigning to get the 1974

:05:40. > :05:45.Birmingham Pub Bombings re-investigated have won the backing

:05:45. > :05:48.of Northern Ireland's First Minister Peter Robinson. It was Julie and

:05:48. > :05:52.Brian Hambleton's first visit to Northern Ireland and they hope it

:05:52. > :05:54.will raise the profile of their fight to get justice for the 21

:05:54. > :06:03.people who were murdered. Among the victims was their 18-year-old sister

:06:03. > :06:06.Maxine. Anthony Bartram sent this report from Belfast.

:06:06. > :06:09.An early morning check in at Birmingham International as Brian

:06:09. > :06:12.and Julie Hambleton take their campaign to Belfast for the first

:06:12. > :06:21.time. They want justice for their sister Maxine and the other 20

:06:21. > :06:25.people killed in the 1974 Birmingham Pub Bombings.

:06:25. > :06:32.We are going to Belfast to meet many of our supporters over their food

:06:32. > :06:39.have been inviting us to visit them for some time. We are also going to

:06:39. > :06:42.be having a meeting with the leader of the DUP, Peter Robinson.

:06:42. > :06:45.It is 38 years since the Tavern in the Town and Mulberry Bush

:06:45. > :06:48.explosions that changed the Hambletons lives and dozens of other

:06:48. > :06:52.Birmingham families for ever - 21 people were murdered and 182 others

:06:52. > :06:55.were injured. For the past 18 months Brian and Julie have taken to the

:06:55. > :07:02.city's streets urging people to sign their petition to get the murders

:07:02. > :07:08.re-investigated. The couple's visit to Belfast today was to meet their

:07:08. > :07:17.Northern Irish supporters and to get a high profile signature for their

:07:17. > :07:21.campaign. In contrast to the Hambleton 's frustrations, getting

:07:21. > :07:24.support at home, their first visit to Belfast has taken them straight

:07:24. > :07:32.to the top. There was a warm handshake from the

:07:32. > :07:37.DUP leader and Northern Ireland's First Minster Peter Robinson.

:07:37. > :07:41.I indicated to the group that if they want to put together a dossier,

:07:41. > :07:43.I will ensure that it goes into the hands of the Prime Minister. I

:07:43. > :07:49.believe the prime minister looks at the arguments they are putting

:07:49. > :07:56.forward. There is every reason why there should be an investigation.

:07:56. > :08:03.But did they get what they came for. We got him to sign our paper

:08:03. > :08:06.petition. He said it would be his pleasure and we are very grateful.

:08:06. > :08:09.Unison say they plan to ballot Herefordshire council staff over

:08:09. > :08:14.possible strike action in protest at what they call "the savagery and

:08:14. > :08:19.speed" of the council cuts. They're also warning that the City's Museum

:08:19. > :08:22.could be closed as a result. An online petition to save the

:08:22. > :08:26.County's libraries was launched last night - it's already had nearly 500

:08:26. > :08:33.signatures. Our reporter, Cath Mackie, is in Hereford tonight.

:08:33. > :08:38.Cath, it seems as if feelings are running high.

:08:38. > :08:42.Yes, they are indeed. One union wrap told Mr Flood gobsmacked. I know of

:08:42. > :08:46.at least one rally being proposed against cuts in museums and

:08:46. > :08:51.libraries. I am at the Courtyard in Herefordshire, a cultural hub in the

:08:51. > :08:54.county. They are also fighting for some of that money in a pot that is

:08:54. > :08:57.getting smaller. A busy morning at Hereford library,

:08:57. > :09:03.a chance for people to choose a book and use the internet, like Dave who

:09:03. > :09:07.comes most days, losing this service would be a blow.

:09:07. > :09:11.I think it'll affect me seriously as someone who was pretty down on my

:09:11. > :09:15.luck, the library gets me going again.

:09:15. > :09:18.The library's upstairs neighbour since 1874 has been the museum. Last

:09:18. > :09:21.year it had more than 29,000 visits, people and school children coming to

:09:21. > :09:28.view relics of Herefordshire history. Staff here have had news

:09:28. > :09:31.which they fear could see them too consigned to the shelf.

:09:31. > :09:36.They are looking to cut this to a zero budget within two years. Within

:09:36. > :09:42.two years we have to either be financially sustainable of our own

:09:42. > :09:45.accord in some way in some form of another. If this cannot be done, we

:09:45. > :09:48.are looking at potentially the closure of the museum service.

:09:48. > :09:52.We did ask Herefordshire council to confirm these proposals and come and

:09:52. > :09:55.talk to us, but they declined. They did give us a statement saying they

:09:55. > :10:00.face tough choices and that's the problem. At a time of austerity, how

:10:00. > :10:04.important are places like this museum and library?

:10:04. > :10:11.It is not a building I go in regularly, but with it would be a

:10:11. > :10:14.shame to lose it. I think it is important to have the libraries.

:10:14. > :10:17.Decisions have to be made if the government is making cuts. Some

:10:17. > :10:20.things will have to go. Herefordshire council say they 'have

:10:20. > :10:22.yet to decide which areas are considered core services. Unison say

:10:22. > :10:32.they'll be lobbying hard to make sure Herefordshire's cultural life

:10:32. > :10:36.gets its fair share. There are lots of people at the

:10:36. > :10:43.Courtyard tonight. There is a concept going on and the concept --

:10:43. > :10:49.comedy in the studio. How much money do you rely on from Herefordshire

:10:49. > :10:56.Council and you under of cuts? I think all odds organisations are

:10:56. > :11:03.threatened by council cuts. We too are on the ladder. Do you know how

:11:03. > :11:06.much? Our cut will be 50% over three years. It means we will have to be

:11:07. > :11:12.more innovative in the ways that we raise money, look at fundraising and

:11:12. > :11:17.we have to look at ways that we can engage with the community as an

:11:17. > :11:22.organisation that helps generate funds.

:11:22. > :11:27.Hereford's Chief Executive say these cuts once in a century. And we

:11:27. > :11:32.afford culture, do you think? would ask, can you afford not to

:11:32. > :11:38.have culture at any time? It is vital to the county and not just

:11:38. > :11:45.this county, to every city and county throughout the UK. It is a

:11:45. > :11:50.luxury, though, isn't it? Is it? We engage with children, people with

:11:50. > :11:54.dementia is, the community, I think it is crucial. It is a meeting place

:11:54. > :11:59.of people who do not come here just for theatre. It is crucial to all

:11:59. > :12:03.counties. The council will discuss proposals

:12:03. > :12:05.on May the 16th and Unison will be balloting staff members over

:12:06. > :12:08.possible strike action. Joining us now is our political

:12:08. > :12:18.editor, Patrick Burns. Patrick, this situation in Hereford is being

:12:18. > :12:18.

:12:18. > :12:23.mirrored right across the Midlands? I have been going through some of

:12:23. > :12:30.the printouts and pulling out some of the numbers. Coventry, for

:12:30. > :12:35.example, 200 carers jobs at risk as part of �15 million of saving. �63

:12:35. > :12:41.million in total being saved their over three years. Worcestershire,

:12:41. > :12:46.650 job losses on top of 850 already. It is part of a drive to

:12:46. > :12:51.save �20 million over four years. Lo those top headline numbers, two

:12:51. > :12:56.different sorts of emphasis emerge. Eminem, the largest local authority,

:12:56. > :13:00.the Labour leaders there have to save over �100 million and they say

:13:00. > :13:04.this could be the end of local government as we know it. Whereas

:13:04. > :13:09.conservative leaders in Staffordshire say they were really

:13:09. > :13:14.last week largely because of the way they are managing the process. They

:13:14. > :13:20.say it is about working smarter and driving extra business efficiency.

:13:20. > :13:26.Is there any end in sight? When you consider every taxpayer

:13:26. > :13:30.pays �1 in four to every pound they give to the government, you know the

:13:30. > :13:34.pressure on government spending will sustain through the first half of

:13:34. > :13:37.the next government, so a straight answer is no, no end in sight.

:13:37. > :13:39.And Patrick will be back with the Sunday Politics at 11am here on BBC

:13:39. > :13:42.One. A court's heard a five month old

:13:42. > :13:45.baby was inside one of three houses bombed last August in North

:13:45. > :13:49.Staffordshire. Three men from Staffordshire and three from

:13:49. > :13:52.Northern Ireland are on trial at Stafford Crown Court accused of

:13:52. > :13:57.being involved in a plot to post nail bombs following a business

:13:57. > :14:02.dispute. The jury's also been played a bomb threat phoned through to

:14:02. > :14:04.Staffordshire Police the month before the explosions. From Stafford

:14:04. > :14:07.Crown Court, here's Liz Copper. It's the prosecution's case that

:14:07. > :14:10.this scrap yard, near Cheadle in the Staffordhsire Moorlands, was at the

:14:11. > :14:15.centre of a dispute which led to nail bombs being posted through the

:14:15. > :14:19.doors of staff who worked here. It's alleged a dispute over money was at

:14:19. > :14:27.the heart of the plot. Jason Taft, from Stoke on Trent, is

:14:27. > :14:30.standing trial, along with five other men at Stafford Crown Court.

:14:30. > :14:32.They're all charged with conspiracy to make threats to kill and

:14:32. > :14:35.conspiracy to cause explosions. Penning the case for the

:14:35. > :14:38.Prosecution, Andrew Lockhart QC played the jury a phone call made to

:14:38. > :14:48.Staffordshire Police in July last year. In it an anonymous caller

:14:48. > :14:49.

:14:49. > :14:54.claimed two bombs had been planted. The police call take asked, what

:14:54. > :14:58.sort of bombs? The caller then hung up. It was at the beginning of

:14:58. > :15:03.August that mail bombs were posted through doors add three homes. This

:15:03. > :15:08.house, two children were inside. Another bomb was sent here to this

:15:08. > :15:11.home in Cheadle and a third to this house. Although all of the bombs

:15:11. > :15:17.exploded, only minimal damage was caused.

:15:17. > :15:19.The jury have been taken through phone records which the prosecution

:15:19. > :15:24.say show contacts made between members of the gang in the weeks and

:15:24. > :15:30.days before the bombs were planted. All six men deny the charges. The

:15:31. > :15:33.first witnesses are the next week. ?NEWLINE More than a hundred police

:15:33. > :15:37.officers are now investigating the murder of Mohammed Saleem, the

:15:37. > :15:39.Birmingham grandfather stabbed after visiting a mosque. Today, a ten

:15:39. > :15:44.thousand pound reward was put up by Crimestoppers for information

:15:44. > :15:47.leading to the arrest and conviction of his killer. Detectives say their

:15:47. > :15:54.inquiry is centred on finding a man seen on CCTV running close to the

:15:54. > :15:56.murder scene in Small Heath on April the 29th.

:15:56. > :16:01.Walsall's Paralympic gold medal winning swimmer Ellie Simmonds has

:16:01. > :16:04.been at Buckingham Palace to receive an OBE from Prince Charles. Ellie,

:16:04. > :16:12.who's 18 and already an MBE, has been recognised for her Paralympic

:16:12. > :16:16.success. She won two gold medals in Beijing and won two golds, a silver

:16:16. > :16:21.and a bronze at last year's London games. Her next target is the world

:16:21. > :16:24.championships in Montreal in August. The largest anti terrorist training

:16:24. > :16:26.exercise to take place in the Midlands in recent years has seen

:16:26. > :16:31.more than five hundred people from the emergency services and the

:16:31. > :16:34.military gathered in Staffordshire. The event was called Exercise Amber

:16:35. > :16:37.and set out to test how well the blue light services could respond if

:16:37. > :16:47.terrorists armed with guns and grenades attacked a location in our

:16:47. > :16:48.

:16:48. > :16:52.region. Our Special correspondent, Peter Wilson has the details.

:16:52. > :16:59.This was a training exercise the casualties made up to look like

:16:59. > :17:09.gunshot and blast victims. For security reasons, these pictures

:17:09. > :17:19.

:17:19. > :17:23.were supplied to us by the ambulance service.

:17:23. > :17:28.People would expect on police officers to go ahead and tackle

:17:28. > :17:32.terrorists, but people were injured and died, so it is working with the

:17:32. > :17:38.paramedics and the Fire and rescue to enable staff to come forward and

:17:38. > :17:43.try to help people who are injured. This event was staged by the

:17:43. > :17:46.ambulance service the teams from all over the country taking part.

:17:47. > :17:52.It is about supporting staff so they understand the extent to which

:17:52. > :17:55.senior people are supporting them. It is also about the police, fire

:17:55. > :17:59.and ambulance services working closely together.

:17:59. > :18:04.Nine years ago, I was allowed to film a similar exercise at the

:18:04. > :18:09.National exhibition Centre. The chaos and at times lack of

:18:09. > :18:15.communication was all too clear. Our cameras have not been allowed back

:18:15. > :18:19.since. These are vital lesson is to be learned.

:18:19. > :18:23.We have six shifts in the West Midlands. One shift was drained

:18:23. > :18:27.today so we need to do this another five times to get to a point of

:18:27. > :18:31.readiness. People were playacting today, but

:18:31. > :18:41.emergency services response to real injuries depends on these training

:18:41. > :18:44.

:18:44. > :18:46.days. Our top story tonight. Seven men are

:18:46. > :18:53.convicted of sexually exploiting teenage girls in Shropshire.

:18:53. > :18:56.Your detailed weather forecast shortly. All is tonight: After more

:18:57. > :19:03.than three decades on the job, one sent off for the last police traffic

:19:03. > :19:08.warden in the Midlands. He is lovely. You forget what his job is,

:19:08. > :19:11.he is lovely and part of the community.

:19:11. > :19:21.Looking ahead to Aston Villa's crucial match against a side that

:19:21. > :19:25.

:19:25. > :19:32.sport. What is all this about Manchester United and West Brom

:19:32. > :19:35.tickets selling for thousands? Well it's suddenly a big game as

:19:35. > :19:38.it's against Manchester United and will therefore be Sir Alex

:19:38. > :19:41.Ferguson's last game as a manager. Talk of big money changing hands

:19:41. > :19:44.comes from season ticket holders being able to sell back their seat

:19:44. > :19:47.for a game. Now this is perfectly legitimate and it's done via a

:19:47. > :19:50.ticket exchange website. On average 40 tickets are sold like this for

:19:50. > :19:52.every home game. Obviously Manchester United fans would be

:19:52. > :19:56.prepared to pay well for such tickets. But West Bromwich Albion

:19:56. > :19:58.said today they are blocking any requests for exchanges after 8am on

:19:58. > :20:02.Wednesday, ie the time that Ferguson announced his retirement. They

:20:02. > :20:05.simply don't want away fans in the home fans areas. But what about

:20:05. > :20:08.tickets being sold in other ways such as e-bay or cash on the day.

:20:09. > :20:12.Well Albion say they are monitoring e-bay for ticket sales.

:20:12. > :20:16.And as for sales on the day, touting happens at all major events, the

:20:16. > :20:26.club will be doing all they can to stop it but have reminded fans that

:20:26. > :20:31.

:20:31. > :20:35.touting is a criminal offence. The threat of relegation has hung

:20:35. > :20:40.over Aston Villa all season. Tomorrow they can make themselves

:20:40. > :20:50.safe in the Premier league for another year. Problem is, they play

:20:50. > :20:53.

:20:53. > :20:56.cell -- Chelsea. Last time they met Chelsea they lost 8-1.

:20:56. > :20:58.It was the Sunday before Christmas and Chelsea's players and fans were

:20:58. > :21:01.getting some early presents at Stamford Bridge.Villa's young

:21:01. > :21:04.players were on the receiving end of the biggest defeat in the Premier

:21:04. > :21:07.League this season. At the time few people fancied their chances of

:21:07. > :21:10.surviving in the top flight. We got beaten up pretty badly from

:21:11. > :21:14.start to finish. The lads know that was not acceptable.

:21:14. > :21:17.But the last two months have felt very different. Paul Lambert has

:21:17. > :21:20.kept faith in his inexperienced side and they've repaid it with a series

:21:20. > :21:28.of vital wins. Beat Chelsea tomorrow and they're safe with one game still

:21:28. > :21:34.to go. The results over the last few months

:21:34. > :21:36.have been out and then. Everybody wrote them off and had a go at them.

:21:36. > :21:39.The bottom of the Premier League is incredibly congested with eight

:21:39. > :21:46.teams still involved in the scrap. Wigan look favourites for relegation

:21:46. > :21:51.but no-one's breathing easy yet. I would be surprised if they were

:21:51. > :21:56.not safe, but it still looks a bit dodgy. I think they need at least

:21:57. > :22:00.one more point to be guaranteed. I don't expect the teams underneath

:22:00. > :22:05.to catch them at this stage. With the games left, they can pick up

:22:05. > :22:06.some points as well. It has been great to see the faith and youth

:22:06. > :22:10.come to fruition. The new television deal means

:22:10. > :22:12.staying up is worth millions to Villa. But it's the way his young

:22:12. > :22:22.players have bounced back from that Christmas mauling which is really

:22:22. > :22:24.

:22:24. > :22:28.making the manager proud. Safety within touching distance.

:22:28. > :22:31.Officials at Worcester city say they will carry on with the club. At one

:22:31. > :22:37.point they were saying the club was unviable, but sales are going

:22:37. > :22:41.better. When it comes to professions,

:22:41. > :22:47.traffic wardens are never the most popular, but in Bromsgrove there is

:22:47. > :22:51.one they can't get enough of. After more than three decades, Roy

:22:51. > :23:00.Gibson is retiring as the last police traffic warden in the

:23:00. > :23:05.Midlands. It seemed as if everyone turned out to wish him well.

:23:05. > :23:10.The traffic warden, feared by drivers everywhere. Notebook at the

:23:10. > :23:19.ready and tickets to hand. The trolling the streets on the lookout

:23:19. > :23:24.for misbehaving motorists. Or, maybe not. This isn't the sort of

:23:24. > :23:30.reception you would expect a traffic warden to get, but then again, Roy

:23:30. > :23:36.Gibson is not your average traffic warden. Stop it, you will get me

:23:36. > :23:46.emotional. After 36 and a half years, Roy is about to issue his

:23:46. > :23:54.final ticket. It is my last day today. What will you miss?The

:23:54. > :24:00.people because they are so nice and friendly. To a traffic warden? Yeah,

:24:00. > :24:05.in this area they are. I think the majority of people in Bromsgrove

:24:05. > :24:09.have embraced me and that is one of the reasons why I have paid.

:24:09. > :24:13.In the town, everybody wanted to say thank you and goodbye.

:24:13. > :24:23.He is not a normal traffic warden, you forget what his job is, he is

:24:23. > :24:27.lovely. Believe you me, he is very liked and he will be missed. Roy's

:24:27. > :24:34.retirement marks the end of an era. He is the last remaining West Murcia

:24:34. > :24:39.police traffic wardens will working. In the 80s I had an admirer and she

:24:39. > :24:43.used to send me a red rose on Valentine's Day. The local press

:24:43. > :24:48.made a big splash on the front page of the newspaper and I think that

:24:48. > :24:53.scared her off because I didn't tend to get the Rose sent any more.

:24:54. > :24:59.Whether or not she found out I was married from that, I don't know.

:24:59. > :25:08.It is not just roses, he has even had a poem written in his honour. It

:25:08. > :25:12.seems that Roy has won the hearts of many a Bromsgrove lady.

:25:12. > :25:20.Roy was professional to the end and I expect this driver will be the

:25:20. > :25:24.only person Brad that Roy is retiring today.

:25:24. > :25:28.Just in case you are wondering, there will still be traffic wardens

:25:28. > :25:32.in Bromsgrove. They will now be run by the counts.

:25:32. > :25:42.What we want over the weekend is lovely weather. Here is the

:25:42. > :25:42.

:25:42. > :25:50.looking forward to glorious sunshine, but this week there is a

:25:50. > :25:54.change in the air. Things are looking a lot cooler. Today we have

:25:54. > :25:58.since showers blown through the region about the afternoon. Around

:25:58. > :26:02.that is, some pockets of sunshine. It has not felt too bad with

:26:02. > :26:09.temperatures around 16 degrees. The last of the showers will move off

:26:09. > :26:13.over the next few hours. It'll be largely dry and clear. Pockets of

:26:13. > :26:18.missed developing. And it is hovering between five and seven

:26:18. > :26:23.Celsius. Cloud will build as we move through to Saturday morning. We have

:26:23. > :26:29.another weather front waiting in the wings and it is bringing quite a few

:26:29. > :26:35.showers. They are being blended the region by a fresh westerly wind.

:26:35. > :26:40.Showers will be quite short and sharp. Some could be heavy. Hovering

:26:40. > :26:45.around 11 to 13 degrees. Showers continue to be blown through

:26:45. > :26:49.Saturday afternoon. The best of the brightness in the South. Through the

:26:50. > :26:55.afternoon we will hold onto some showers, but we have high-pressure

:26:55. > :26:59.building behind them settling things down a little. It will not last

:26:59. > :27:03.because we have more weather fronts moving through bringing with them

:27:03. > :27:08.unsettled conditions as we make our way through Sunday and into Monday.

:27:08. > :27:13.Sunday itself won't heart off badly. We will get good spells of

:27:13. > :27:18.brightness, even sunshine through the morning. Cloud will build and we

:27:18. > :27:21.will see the showers move into Sunday afternoon. Temperatures 12 to

:27:21. > :27:25.13 degrees. We still have the wind taking the edge off and making it a

:27:25. > :27:28.bit cooler. Do the start of the working week, it will stay

:27:28. > :27:31.unsettled. Terrible.

:27:31. > :27:34.Let's recap tonight's top stories: An extraordinary story of survival -
