:00:05. > :00:07.with Joanne Malin and Nick Owen. The headlines tonight: More money for
:00:07. > :00:16.the region's infrastructure as the Government loosens the purse
:00:16. > :00:20.strings, but business leaders say it's not enough. The government
:00:20. > :00:23.isn't showing power to give commitment to the regions. We'll be
:00:23. > :00:26.asking exactly what today's announcement could mean for the
:00:26. > :00:30.Midlands. Also tonight, Muslim leaders' shock as a mosque is daubed
:00:30. > :00:37.with offensive graffiti. How lemon juice is helping to preserve and
:00:37. > :00:40.restore an historic German bomber. Endangered in the wild, how the
:00:40. > :00:46.birth of this snow leopard cub at Dudley Zoo gives hope the animals
:00:46. > :00:50.may survive. And depending upon which way you look at it, there's
:00:50. > :01:00.some good news and bad news in the forecast over the coming days. Hear
:01:00. > :01:04.
:01:04. > :01:08.all about it the later. Good evening. The projected cost of the
:01:08. > :01:16.High Speed Two Rail line through the region shot up by an astonishing �10
:01:16. > :01:19.billion today. The announcement came as the Government set out its
:01:19. > :01:23.Spending Review including news of a �2 billion investment fund that's
:01:23. > :01:27.expected to benefit this region. business leaders in Birmingham today
:01:27. > :01:30.said that fell far short of the �50 billion they'd been hoping for.
:01:30. > :01:34.There are also to be more deep cuts in council spending. Our Political
:01:35. > :01:38.Editor Patrick burns is at the Houses of Parliament now... More
:01:38. > :01:46.pain, which we've come to expect, Patrick, but some gain too today for
:01:46. > :01:48.this region? Little doubt now that our part of the country is in line
:01:48. > :01:58.for a significant chunk of that infrastucture investment the
:01:58. > :01:59.
:01:59. > :02:03.Chancellor kept talking about. Don't be surprised if our motorway network
:02:03. > :02:05.is high on the list when the details are mentioned tomorrow. Bob
:02:05. > :02:10.Hockenhull has been assessing reaction to the Chancellor's
:02:10. > :02:18.statement. The Chancellor loosening the purse strings to kick start
:02:18. > :02:20.economic growth. That's at least �10 billion over the next Parliament,
:02:20. > :02:23.that is a sum that local enterprise partnerships can bid for"
:02:23. > :02:33.Aspirations for an infrastructure boost have rarely been higher in the
:02:33. > :02:34.
:02:34. > :02:37.heart of England. The West Midlands will want as much of that cash as
:02:37. > :02:42.possible but for some in Birmingham, the amount made available fell way
:02:42. > :02:48.short. We are disappointed because we were expecting a lot more money
:02:48. > :02:58.and we wanted enough more. One major project already underway is New
:02:58. > :02:58.
:02:58. > :03:04.Street Station - being rebuilt as part of an �800 million investment.
:03:04. > :03:09.You will see all of the old station structures demolished. A thousand
:03:09. > :03:12.workers, many recruited locally, are involved. It wouldn't be happening
:03:12. > :03:19.without Government cash and it's not just not about improving rail
:03:19. > :03:23.services. This is where they are building the John Lewis complex. It
:03:23. > :03:28.is a construction site now but in 18 months it will be full of shoppers
:03:28. > :03:30.and more importantly, job opportunities. So has the Chancellor
:03:30. > :03:32.done enough to kick-start similar giant projects? The Greater
:03:32. > :03:41.Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership will be
:03:41. > :03:46.responsible for delivering any economic revival. We've been given a
:03:46. > :03:52.reason to believe that we will be invited early in the process. The
:03:52. > :03:54.important thing is it is the beginning of a different process.
:03:54. > :03:57.The budget for one huge infrastructure project for
:03:57. > :04:01.Birmingham - the High Speed Two rail line - shot up today by �10 billion
:04:01. > :04:03.to 42 billion. The Government says it still may not cost that much and
:04:03. > :04:07.opponents are still determined to scupper the whole project. New
:04:07. > :04:13.pictures show what HS2 trains could look like and one of the companies
:04:13. > :04:19.involved believes it's a price worth paying. There are statistics across
:04:19. > :04:28.the world that demonstrates that putting money into infrastructure is
:04:28. > :04:32.more beneficial than making cuts elsewhere and cutting taxes.
:04:32. > :04:41.sentiment that people in the region will hope George Osborne will agree
:04:42. > :04:46.with. Infrastructure projects don't come any bigger than High Speed Two.
:04:46. > :04:53.MPs are preparing to vote in the second reading of the bill. They are
:04:53. > :04:59.still absorbing the news that the cost has shot up to �42 billion. I
:04:59. > :05:05.am joined by two MPs who are strong supporters of high-speed rail.
:05:05. > :05:13.Surely this news is bound to embolden your party colleagues who
:05:13. > :05:17.feel strongly that we should not throw any good money after bad?
:05:17. > :05:20.underlying problem is capacity. There has been a doubling in
:05:20. > :05:26.long-distance rail travel in recent years because of the cost of
:05:26. > :05:31.motoring. The imperative here is one of capacity and although I have
:05:31. > :05:34.reservations about the impact on my constituency, and I am trying to get
:05:34. > :05:44.at the compensation for my constituents, I do think for the
:05:44. > :05:47.
:05:47. > :05:57.West Midlands we need that capacity. Surely the voices will be stronger
:05:57. > :05:58.
:05:58. > :06:02.against it? Road capacity between London and Birmingham and the rest
:06:02. > :06:05.of the country will give it the economic growth we need. We need to
:06:05. > :06:08.get the calculations right which is why am worried about the
:06:08. > :06:12.announcement because if we can't get the figures right and do the
:06:12. > :06:16.calculations then those people who don't believe in infrastructure
:06:16. > :06:20.investment will have ammunition. The infrastructure decision itself is
:06:20. > :06:26.right. Moving onto the Spending Review, you are among the
:06:26. > :06:29.signatories of the letter. It is a remarkable display of cross-party
:06:29. > :06:39.unity. 18 MPs wrote to the Chancellor in support of the funding
:06:39. > :06:42.growth. Lord Howe Tyne has said it is more than that. It is 15 billion
:06:42. > :06:46.at the time you bring European monies in the play. It is important
:06:46. > :06:51.that we have written to the Chancellor on a cross-party basis
:06:51. > :06:58.because West Midlands needs to speak with one voice when we compete for
:06:58. > :07:04.the money. One voice is important. The announcement today was 2 billion
:07:04. > :07:13.which is not enough so I hope there will be more money. My thanks to you
:07:13. > :07:16.both. Coming up later in the programme: the challenge for police
:07:16. > :07:26.with more cost-cutting on the way. Could new technology be part of the
:07:26. > :07:27.
:07:27. > :07:29.answer to keeping an eye on criminals? Racist graffiti daubed on
:07:30. > :07:32.a Mosque in Worcestershire is being investigated by police. It included
:07:32. > :07:35.swastikas and the initials of the far right English Defence League.
:07:35. > :07:40.Officials at the Mosque say relations between Muslims and other
:07:41. > :07:47.communities are good. Tonight the EDL said they had nothing to do with
:07:47. > :07:50.the incident. Giles Latcham reports. At Redditch, on a mosque still under
:07:50. > :07:57.construction, the Nazi swastika, the initials of the Ku Klux Klan and the
:07:57. > :07:59.far right English Defence League and National Front. Their place of
:07:59. > :08:07.worship defaced, Mosque officials were shocked and saddened - but
:08:08. > :08:13.believe it was an act influenced by events elsewhere. My first reaction
:08:13. > :08:19.is sadness but as you can see, up and down the country, after the
:08:19. > :08:25.incident in Woolwich, there have been incidents highlighted in the
:08:25. > :08:27.press. Council staff were soon on site to help with the clean up.
:08:27. > :08:33.Police believe it began as a break-in by burglars targeting
:08:33. > :08:37.builder's equipment - but turned into a hate crime. I think all of us
:08:37. > :08:46.are really shocked by this activity and we are keen to see the offenders
:08:46. > :08:49.brought to justice and provides support to our residents. Two men
:08:49. > :08:52.have been charged following an alleged arson attack on a mosque in
:08:52. > :08:55.Gloucester last week. A mosque in Walsall was sealed off at the
:08:55. > :09:01.weekend when a device left outside partially exploded. In Redditch,
:09:01. > :09:04.both police and the Mosque committee say community relations are good.
:09:04. > :09:14.But last summer about 100 EDL supporters marched through the town
:09:14. > :09:15.
:09:15. > :09:21.and some younger Muslims believe there are tensions. Especially with
:09:21. > :09:28.these younger lots as well, they are making it into more of a racist
:09:28. > :09:31.motivation. Before, it was not like this. It has gone pear shaped.
:09:31. > :09:37.spokesman for the EDL denies they're stirring hatred or that their
:09:37. > :09:42.supporters were involved last night. I do not accept or believe that this
:09:42. > :09:49.was anyone from the English Defence League. We banned the swastika. All
:09:49. > :09:52.you have to do is go on our website. We are proud supporters of Israel.
:09:52. > :09:59.Whoever did though has caused upset and worry. The police's message is
:09:59. > :10:02.one of reassurance, the accent is on harmony. The father of a
:10:02. > :10:05.four-year-old boy alleged to have been starved and murdered by his
:10:05. > :10:08.mother and stepfather has told a court his son was a "normal and
:10:08. > :10:12.healthy" child. Erik Pelka who'd travelled from Poland to give
:10:12. > :10:14.evidence said Daniel Pelka, who died from a head injury at his home in
:10:14. > :10:19.Coventry in March last year, had eaten his food without difficulty
:10:19. > :10:22.during the first year of his life. The senior investigating officer
:10:22. > :10:29.Detective Inspector Chris Hanson said he was shocked at the severity
:10:30. > :10:33.of the boy's emaciation. One of six men on trial for causing explosions
:10:33. > :10:35.in North Staffordshire last year has died. Edvinas Sermuksnis from
:10:35. > :10:44.Belfast was charged with conspiracy to cause explosions last August and
:10:44. > :10:48.making threats to kill. The court heard there were no suspicious
:10:48. > :10:51.circumstances around his death. trust that runs Walsall Manor
:10:51. > :10:55.Hospital has put in a bid to take over the running of Cannock
:10:55. > :10:58.Hospital. It's the latest twist in the health care scandal in
:10:58. > :11:02.Mid-Staffordshire - as Cannock's part of the same trust which runs
:11:02. > :11:05.Stafford Hospital and is now in administration. But, in the new
:11:05. > :11:11.world of NHS competition, Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals are also
:11:11. > :11:17.understood to be keen on on staking a claim to Cannock. To explain all -
:11:17. > :11:20.here's our health correspondent, Michele Paduano. This ward is one of
:11:20. > :11:26.two opened in Walsall to absorb extra patients coming in from
:11:26. > :11:33.Staffordshire. Lisa Ayre has a pulmonary embolism. She lives a mile
:11:33. > :11:37.from Cannock and convalescing nearer home would be an advantage. Panic
:11:37. > :11:41.would be ideal for myself and for my family and friends to come and visit
:11:41. > :11:45.me. Walsall hospital believes that it can provide a range of scanning
:11:45. > :11:50.and diagnostic treatment in Cannock. It says a multi million pound
:11:50. > :11:56.development has been costed and is viable. Our main focus is to use
:11:56. > :12:00.Cannock Chase Hospital as a base for people to get a really good local
:12:00. > :12:04.server so they do not have to travel further afield. Royal Wolverhampton
:12:04. > :12:06.Hospitals is also interested but has not officially made its bid known It
:12:06. > :12:10.plans two new operating theatres and a free bus service from
:12:10. > :12:19.Wolverhampton to Cannock, but would need a �30 million investment.
:12:19. > :12:23.Cannock Hospital is underused and was threatened with closure. With
:12:23. > :12:27.two suitors fighting over it, Cannock's future here looks
:12:27. > :12:31.brighter. I understand that both hospitals were going to do a joint
:12:32. > :12:39.bid, and this shows a new NHS where hospitals are competing against each
:12:39. > :12:43.other. So what do the people of Cannock think? It is easier to
:12:43. > :12:49.commute to Walsall than Wolverhampton. I have no preference.
:12:49. > :12:59.I think, Wolverhampton. They said they would put buses on between the
:12:59. > :13:00.
:13:00. > :13:03.two. The Trust special administrator will utimately decide its future.
:13:03. > :13:09.There could be private sector bid as well. Michele Paduano, BBC Midlands
:13:09. > :13:11.Today. This is our top story tonight: Hopes that the region will
:13:11. > :13:15.receive a hefty share of the Chancellor's �2 billion pledge to
:13:15. > :13:20.help businesses, but disappointment it wasn't more. Shefali will have
:13:20. > :13:22.the weather shortly. Also, in tonight's programme: As England take
:13:22. > :13:29.on the world champions in Staffordshire, is women's football
:13:29. > :13:32.breaking through into the big time? And one of the world's rarest and
:13:32. > :13:42.most beautiful creatures, we're live with Dudley Zoo's new snow leopard
:13:42. > :13:42.
:13:42. > :13:45.cub. Back to the Chancellor's spending plans now - one man with a
:13:45. > :13:49.keen eye on his finances is Staffordshire's Police and Crime
:13:49. > :13:55.Commissioner. Matthew Ellis is expecting to oversee savings of
:13:55. > :13:58.seven million pounds for each of the next two years. Our Staffordshire
:13:58. > :14:01.reporter Liz Copper followed him throughout a typical day to find out
:14:01. > :14:07.about the difficulties of cutting budgets at the same time as cutting
:14:07. > :14:10.crime. The day begins with an eight o'clock management briefing with an
:14:10. > :14:20.agenda reflecting the impact of government decisions on police
:14:20. > :14:22.
:14:22. > :14:27.funding. There are some real chances of making savings on front-line
:14:27. > :14:35.policing. We are working closer together. Next a meeting in Codsall
:14:35. > :14:45.focusing on mental health issues. you could change one thing, what
:14:45. > :14:45.
:14:45. > :14:49.would it be? This meeting's followed by a surgery. Parish councillors are
:14:49. > :14:57.here to discuss specific policing problems. It comes amid reports the
:14:57. > :15:02.Police and Crime Commissioner's role could be widened. There is talk of
:15:02. > :15:09.expanding the role to encompass all emergency services. That seems like
:15:09. > :15:19.a unrealistic expectation. The Fire Service is a good candidate, I
:15:19. > :15:21.
:15:21. > :15:24.think. I talked to the Prime Minister about it. Inspite of those
:15:24. > :15:27.high level talks, the Fire Brigades Union's attacked those plans, saying
:15:27. > :15:32."it's not suitable for PCCs' roles to be extended". And not everyone at
:15:32. > :15:38.the surgery's a political ally either. I am sceptical about the
:15:38. > :15:43.Police Commissioner's role and the way they were elected, and the
:15:43. > :15:49.principle of it as well. I think we need to give him time. After the
:15:49. > :15:53.surgery, there is another meeting. Then a chance to speak to officers
:15:53. > :16:03.on the front line. Next the PCC's in Penkridge, hearing from those who've
:16:03. > :16:05.
:16:05. > :16:09.been helped by Victim Support. Cost-cutting in the criminal justice
:16:09. > :16:13.system happens in the wrong place. Staffordshire's the only force in
:16:13. > :16:16.the country to use this drone - much cheaper than a force helicopter -
:16:16. > :16:22.and it can beam back pictures to help officers. The PCC wants to
:16:22. > :16:25.invest more in technology to improve services. There are those who would
:16:25. > :16:32.say it is unrealistic to expect improvements in services without
:16:32. > :16:37.more money. It is not easy but I think the sense is that we have
:16:37. > :16:41.sufficiently high ambitions that we have to buy into. This will give us
:16:42. > :16:45.a better chance at succeeding over the years. The day ends with a
:16:45. > :16:48.public meeting ahead of the launch of a four year vision for policing
:16:48. > :16:52.in Staffordshire. Of course, ultimately, it'll be voters who
:16:52. > :16:58.decide just how successful all our PCCs have been. Liz Copper, BBC
:16:59. > :17:01.Midlands Today, Staffordshire. German bomber lifted from the
:17:01. > :17:03.English Channel is now being drenched again inside a hangar in
:17:04. > :17:07.Shropshire. The process should stop the unique aircraft deteriorating
:17:07. > :17:12.further. Only when that's done can restoration of the World War Two
:17:12. > :17:22.Dornier begin. Our reporter Joanne Writtle had exclusive access to the
:17:22. > :17:26.
:17:26. > :17:28.delicate operation. In a sorry state and being restored in two greenhouse
:17:28. > :17:32.tunnels in Shropshire, a Dornier 17, the world's only surviving German
:17:32. > :17:35.World War II bomber of its kind. Pictures of it being lifted from the
:17:35. > :17:39.seabed in Kent were beamed around the world earlier this month.
:17:39. > :17:42.Rescued from its watery grave after being shot down in 1940.
:17:42. > :17:51.Conservations teams at RAF Museum Cosford are now revelling in
:17:51. > :17:56.restoring it. There are bits that are amazing. There is painted
:17:56. > :18:02.equipment and I have a piece here which came out of the wreckage. You
:18:02. > :18:06.can still see part of the number and identification mark painted on it.
:18:06. > :18:14.But mostly it's a mass of barnacles. Being drenched in ten minutes bursts
:18:14. > :18:19.with water and citric acid - similar to lemon juice basically.
:18:19. > :18:23.irrigation scheme is on a cycle. We sprayed and keep it wet. We cleaned
:18:23. > :18:32.that off and start off with soft brushes. Hopefully, that will
:18:32. > :18:34.preserve anything that is underneath like the original paint schemes.
:18:34. > :18:39.Dornier gained the nickname "the flying pencil" because of it's
:18:39. > :18:46.narrow fusilage. This Dornier's pencil like fusilage was separated
:18:46. > :18:49.from the wings for its journey to Shropshire from Kent. The RAF Museum
:18:49. > :18:55.conservation team is based here at cost for it. To illustrate how it
:18:55. > :19:00.will be peace to gather in a couple of years' time, look no further than
:19:00. > :19:03.this German fighter plane here. Engineers painstakingly married the
:19:03. > :19:06.fusilage back to the wings on this Fockewulf fighter craft. Such work
:19:06. > :19:13.is a long way off for the Dornier. Visitors meanwhile have had glimpses
:19:13. > :19:21.through windows. A lot better than what I was expecting. I thought it
:19:21. > :19:24.was going to be falling to pieces. Eventually the plane will go to RAF
:19:24. > :19:32.Museum Hendon in London to be displayed, that's if it's not too
:19:32. > :19:34.fragile to move again. Isn't that fascinating? All of those barnacles!
:19:34. > :19:37.Five thousand young football supporters turned out in
:19:37. > :19:42.Staffordshire this afternoon to cheer England's women off to the
:19:43. > :19:45.European Championships in Sweden. They drew 1-1 with the world
:19:45. > :19:47.champions Japan at Burton Albion's Pirelli Stadium. And it's the
:19:48. > :19:56.Japanese example the Football Association want to follow to grow
:19:56. > :20:00.the women's game in England. Nick Clitheroe reports. This was more
:20:00. > :20:02.than just another step on the road to the Euros. This was a chance to
:20:02. > :20:05.inspire the next generation. Women's football is already the fastest
:20:05. > :20:08.growing sport in the country but they're not stopping there. Four and
:20:08. > :20:14.a half thousand tickets were given away to schools and colleges to
:20:14. > :20:22.ensure the crowd was young and enthusiastic. I haven't seen England
:20:22. > :20:27.play. I am going to Sweden as well so I am looking forward to it. I
:20:27. > :20:31.have not seen ladies play before. The FA would like to make women's
:20:31. > :20:36.football here as popular as it is in Japan. The match kicked off at
:20:36. > :20:46.lunchtime so it could be shown live to millions back home. It is a good
:20:46. > :20:46.
:20:46. > :20:51.chance to play against England, they are very good. 3-1 to Japan!It is a
:20:51. > :20:58.big day for Japan. They will head off to Sweden and go one better than
:20:58. > :21:00.losing the final four years ago. England wanted this game to give
:21:00. > :21:03.them the toughest possible preparation for the Euros but for
:21:03. > :21:06.much of the game it looked as if former Birmingham City striker Eni
:21:06. > :21:10.Aluko's goal would give them a morale boosting win. Japan equalised
:21:10. > :21:13.nine minutes from the end but it looked as if England had won the
:21:13. > :21:16.game in the final minute until an offside flag cut short their
:21:16. > :21:21.celebrations. We have a really tough group. We are taking each game as it
:21:21. > :21:27.comes. I know that is a cliche but they have named it the group of
:21:27. > :21:30.death. We will see. We have some tough games coming up. England play
:21:30. > :21:33.Spain in their first group game on the 12th of July and after today
:21:33. > :21:39.they'll have plenty of new young fans to cheer them on. Nick
:21:39. > :21:42.Clitheroe, BBC Midlands Today, Burton upon Trent. Despite the
:21:42. > :21:45.rather clinical name, Cub X, is without doubt the cutest attraction
:21:45. > :21:53.at Dudley Zoo in decades. That's because Cub X is a rare snow
:21:53. > :21:56.leopard. Staff still don't know its sex because the cub's had no human
:21:56. > :21:59.contact to guard against any chance of infection. Sarah Falkland is at
:21:59. > :22:08.the big cat enclosure now. Snow Leopards are very rare these days,
:22:08. > :22:17.aren't they? Estimates are that there are only around 4000 snow
:22:17. > :22:24.leopard left in round the world. He is a handsome man, isn't he? He is
:22:24. > :22:32.the father of the cup. If you think he is handsome, you have not seen
:22:33. > :22:38.his offspring. He is adorable. A tiny big cat. Curious and
:22:38. > :22:44.captivating. He is very confident for an eight-week-old cup. The dad
:22:44. > :22:51.is placid and the mum is feisty so it will be interesting to see which
:22:51. > :23:00.character he takes on. She is still giving milk to her cub but already
:23:00. > :23:05.the little one it is developing a taste. Horse meat, occasionally. It
:23:06. > :23:13.depends what we get. Not easy grabbing lunch when your claws are
:23:13. > :23:23.so small. We put the meat pies so we encourage him to climb up and
:23:23. > :23:26.
:23:26. > :23:30.around. The cub is destined to a life in captivity. They are an
:23:30. > :23:36.endangered species under all kinds of threats. Their bones are used in
:23:36. > :23:40.Oriental medicine. As if being squeezed out of their habitat is not
:23:41. > :23:50.enough, some have been blown up by landmines. Even when it is fully
:23:51. > :23:51.
:23:51. > :23:57.grown, the cub will never roar. Snow leopards hiss and growl instead. We
:23:57. > :24:01.will find out if the cub is male or female in a few weeks when it is
:24:01. > :24:09.handled for its vaccinations. The consensus is that it is a female
:24:09. > :24:19.because she is so pretty. I think it is cute. I would like to cuddle it.
:24:19. > :24:21.
:24:21. > :24:29.It is very pretty. Nice to see him. She is lovely, yes. Well, the cub is
:24:29. > :24:37.part of an international breeding programme. What does that mean? It
:24:37. > :24:44.means that this is part of an international programme and the cub
:24:44. > :24:51.will go to Europe to join another male or female to continue the
:24:52. > :25:00.breeding programme. How long will you keep the cub? Up to about 18
:25:00. > :25:06.months. We are being carefully watched by the father here. A proud
:25:06. > :25:14.daddy. They had a bit of a fight earlier. Ie keeping them segregated?
:25:14. > :25:18.Some of them are segregated. The mum will look after the baby and the
:25:18. > :25:25.baby will make its own way so it is very similar to what we do here. We
:25:25. > :25:34.are being cautious. They can get protective, especially newborn,
:25:34. > :25:44.first-time mothers. Is it a boy or girl? Properly a girl.We will bring
:25:44. > :25:48.
:25:48. > :25:55.you the news first. I think it is a boy! Temperatures would seem to
:25:55. > :25:59.suggest things are improving. Beautiful day today. We basically
:25:59. > :26:02.got a watered down version of what was going on across the Iberian
:26:02. > :26:03.Peninsula and beyond with the air originating from the Azores. Our top
:26:03. > :26:06.temperatures almost matched Gibralter's and Barcelona's.They got
:26:06. > :26:14.twenty two We got just over twenty celsius at both Hereford and
:26:14. > :26:18.Pershore. The North of the region didn't fare as well with Keele
:26:18. > :26:22.reaching only 16 but as you can see from that table, a lot of places
:26:22. > :26:25.were into the high teens but it's likely to get even warmer than that
:26:25. > :26:30.later this week. We have a series of warm sectors to come through. The
:26:30. > :26:33.first tomorrow. The second on Friday and the third on Sunday but while
:26:33. > :26:43.we're at the centre of these, not only will temperatures rise but so
:26:43. > :26:44.
:26:44. > :26:47.will the humidity. However, there will be some rain to come from them.
:26:47. > :26:50.It's reasonably clear across us right now though there is this bank
:26:50. > :26:56.of cloud sitting out to the East which is just squeezing out the odd
:26:56. > :27:06.light shower. But they'll die out and the night's looking dry and some
:27:06. > :27:07.
:27:07. > :27:11.some clear spells - some isolated mist patches and lows of 11 celsius.
:27:11. > :27:13.So it'll be dry with a bit of sunshine tomorrow morning but, after
:27:13. > :27:16.that, as the first warm sector pushes through, and it's coming
:27:16. > :27:20.through quicker now, we'll see it turning cloudier and wetter through
:27:20. > :27:24.the afternoon with a top temperature of 17 celsius. Let's recap tonight
:27:24. > :27:31.top stories. George Osborne has announced �11.5 billion worth of
