:00:04. > :00:09.Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: A huge boost
:00:09. > :00:17.for the region's economy as Jaguar Land Rover creates 1,700 new jobs at
:00:17. > :00:21.its Solihull plant. It will be the birth of a new generation of
:00:21. > :00:24.vehicles, brand—new architecture, it represents significant increase in
:00:24. > :00:27.employment here. We'll be looking at why that
:00:27. > :00:30.announcement could mean thousands more jobs for components companies.
:00:30. > :00:36.Safety over culture. A college says it won't drop a ban on students
:00:36. > :00:39.covering their faces. It's up to people if they want to wear red, I
:00:39. > :00:43.don't think the college should ban it. I think people should be able to
:00:43. > :00:46.do whatever they want, whenever they want.
:00:46. > :00:49.I'm on Cannock Chase in Staffordshire where volunteers have
:00:49. > :00:53.just a few weeks to uncover a page of First World War history that's
:00:53. > :00:56.right beneath my feet. As Staffordshire launches a Great
:00:56. > :00:59.War Trail in time for next year's commemorations, we'll be finding out
:00:59. > :01:05.how half a million men trained for the trenches right here. Very few
:01:05. > :01:07.people realised it was going to be a long war and the scale of the
:01:07. > :01:11.casualties took everyone by surprise, not just the Rogers, the
:01:11. > :01:15.Germans, the French, the Russians. And it's out with the sunshine, in
:01:15. > :01:17.with the rain. If you want the finer details — of course, I'll have those
:01:17. > :01:28.for you in the forecast later. Good evening. A vote of confidence
:01:28. > :01:32.tonight for the region's car industry with news of more jobs and
:01:32. > :01:34.massive investment at Jaguar Land Rover. The company's Indian owners
:01:34. > :01:41.Tata are ploughing another £1.5 billion into the luxury car maker.
:01:41. > :01:46.There'll be 1,700 new jobs, most of them at the Land Rover plant in
:01:46. > :01:49.Solihull. With cars selling as fast as JLR can make them, some industry
:01:49. > :01:56.experts predict production will double to 750,000 cars a year by
:01:56. > :02:05.2020. Here's our business correspondent Peter Plisner. This
:02:05. > :02:11.ruling 300 acre site at Solihull, it is already a busy factory with cars
:02:11. > :02:15.being made 24 hours a day. The it's going to get even busier with yet
:02:15. > :02:21.another action line. This time policing a new range of Jaguar
:02:21. > :02:25.models. This is one of them, a 4—wheel drive, unveiled last night
:02:25. > :02:29.at the Frankfurt motor show. The new vehicle will have an alimony body,
:02:29. > :02:33.it is technology the company plans to use on most new models from now
:02:33. > :02:38.on. It is part of an investment worth £1.5 billion. This is where
:02:38. > :02:42.some of the investment announced today is being spent. Currently
:02:42. > :02:49.under construction, this will become a new body shop for several Jaguar
:02:49. > :02:55.and Land Rover models, it is around 50,000 square feet, the same size as
:02:55. > :02:59.seven football pitches. We have a very skilled, motivated workforce.
:02:59. > :03:03.Even when we went to the recession, we knew that when the bounce back
:03:03. > :03:09.came, we knew we had to keep them ready to build cars. So when the
:03:09. > :03:14.boom came, we were ready to hit the ground running with good products.
:03:14. > :03:20.It's a remarkable turnaround. Four years ago the Indian owners Tata had
:03:20. > :03:23.plans to close this plant or its sister plant. But cry from emerging
:03:23. > :03:32.markets mean that instead it has announced plans for other plants.
:03:33. > :03:40.New jobs at stake your Land Rover means more implement of the region
:03:40. > :03:48.'s automotive suppliers. This firm has expanded fast. The workload is
:03:48. > :03:56.increasing day by day, week on week. A lot of new models coming through,
:03:56. > :04:00.the quality is increasing. Meanwhile back at Solihull, employees like
:04:00. > :04:07.Wayne are delighted at the latest investment. It is surprising in the
:04:07. > :04:10.current market but not surprising in how well they are selling, as long
:04:10. > :04:15.as they continue to sell, we will continue to employ people. Can
:04:15. > :04:20.growth at Jaguar Land Rover last? Some analysts are warning against
:04:20. > :04:23.expending too far. They need to expand to compete but I think there
:04:24. > :04:27.is an level at which I would be unhappy to see them go beyond, and I
:04:27. > :04:34.would put them level at roundabout 10%. The construction that is under
:04:34. > :04:37.way means even more capacity at the cellar whole factory and there are
:04:37. > :04:45.predictions that our from all of the plants could more than double by the
:04:45. > :04:50.year 2020. Peter, they are not hanging around with this expansion,
:04:50. > :04:58.they? Know, construction is under way as you saw in my film. Tonight
:04:58. > :05:06.we are inside another plant here, it was opened last year to produce the
:05:06. > :05:10.range Rover sport and all new range Rover. Now the investment is £1.5
:05:10. > :05:16.billion, it is a massive investments, what is it mean for the
:05:16. > :05:21.region 's manufacturers? Is good news for the company but is it such
:05:21. > :05:25.good news for the supply chain? It's great news for the supply chain and
:05:25. > :05:27.it gives the confidence to begin to make those investments that are
:05:27. > :05:33.really needed to support Jaguar Land Rover to get vehicles out. It is all
:05:33. > :05:38.new technology here, does it mean companies will have to invest in new
:05:38. > :05:43.technology there and? Definitely, it means that companies who have been
:05:43. > :05:49.investing and growing their skills base are well ahead of the game and
:05:49. > :05:54.although we will be first in line, not just Jaguar Land Rover, it is
:05:54. > :05:59.other suppliers across the region. It's all based on predictions,
:05:59. > :06:05.projections on sales from the Far East, can it continue? We believe
:06:05. > :06:13.so, because it is premium brands of any type that are selling overseas.
:06:13. > :06:17.Demand in the UK is rising as well. Many thanks. Certainly good news
:06:17. > :06:20.here, and it would appear good news for the region 's manufacturers as
:06:20. > :06:23.well. Coming up later in the programme
:06:23. > :06:26.unearthed under Cannock Chase — the world war one relic depicting one of
:06:26. > :06:30.the most successful offensives of the Great War.
:06:30. > :06:35.A Birmingham college has defended a ban on students covering their
:06:35. > :06:37.faces. It comes after a Muslim student at Birmingham Metropolitan
:06:37. > :06:42.College complained that she wasn't allowed to wear her veil. The
:06:42. > :06:45.college says its policy was brought in for security reasons and has been
:06:45. > :06:51.in place for a number of years without complaint. Here's Cath
:06:51. > :06:54.Mackie. Rido Farah arrives at Birmingham
:06:54. > :06:57.Metropolitan College where's she's interested in enrolling on an
:06:57. > :07:04.English course. But she learns she won't be allowed to cover her face.
:07:04. > :07:09.It is unfair and it is wrong, because we'd education, but the
:07:09. > :07:13.education is what we need to learn. The college is one of the largest in
:07:13. > :07:16.the country — with 35,000 students across 11 sites. It's a cultural
:07:16. > :07:20.melting pot. They say they have a robust diversity and inclusion
:07:20. > :07:23.policy, but safety is a priority. So this isn't just about niqabs — the
:07:23. > :07:28.college say students can't wear anything which covers their face be
:07:28. > :07:33.it a hoodie or a cap. It's been the policy for ten years and they say
:07:33. > :07:40.it's working. We need to see their face. We have students from the age
:07:40. > :07:43.of 11 through to 19, we have a whole range of visitors coming into the
:07:43. > :07:46.organisation, we have patients who we care for. We need to know who is
:07:46. > :07:52.in the building from the safeguarding perspective. 99% of the
:07:52. > :07:58.time the person is who they say they are behind the veil. But it could be
:07:58. > :08:05.the 1% that they are not, so you see where I'm coming from. You
:08:05. > :08:11.sympathise with the college? Yes. I don't wear one but I don't do the
:08:11. > :08:15.college should and eight. If it is their religion, why should anybody
:08:15. > :08:18.stop it? It's perhaps a sign of the political times that the ban on
:08:18. > :08:21.niqabs is making headlines. France, Belgium and Italy have already
:08:21. > :08:29.banned the full face veil. Other countries are considering it. They
:08:29. > :08:33.have made a very informed choice to wear the niqab, and they should be
:08:33. > :08:39.allowed to do this. Without anybody else imposing what I believe is
:08:39. > :08:43.their Eurocentric values and beliefs. As for Rido, who's from
:08:43. > :08:51.Somalia, she'd like to be a teaching assistant. You would like to come
:08:51. > :08:56.here? Yes. If they stop it, I believe that I cannot go. The
:08:56. > :09:00.college say as yet, they've had no complaint from any student about the
:09:00. > :09:04.policy. Over to Nick now on Cannock Chase —
:09:04. > :09:13.the scene of some quite remarkable World War One finds. Yes, plans to
:09:13. > :09:19.mark the centenary of the start of the First World War in 1914 are well
:09:19. > :09:22.underway across the region. Every town and village has a story to
:09:22. > :09:27.tell, such was the nature of the conflict, but actually, I am on
:09:27. > :09:30.Cannock Chase right now in Staffordshire, as you gathered. It
:09:30. > :09:36.is really well known for its beta full scenery and the herds of deer
:09:36. > :09:41.running free —— beautiful scenery. But during World War I, half a
:09:41. > :09:48.million soldiers were based here, they trained here, they lived here.
:09:48. > :09:54.One of the towns is this one, where I am right now. As you look around,
:09:54. > :09:56.you will see teams of volunteers and archaeologists beavering away,
:09:56. > :10:04.trying to uncover lost relic of that time. It is an extraordinary 3—D
:10:04. > :10:08.model which stretches round this field and it was used to show
:10:08. > :10:11.soldiers the sort of terrain they would face when they went down to
:10:12. > :10:19.France and Flanders. Louise has been following their progress. Hidden for
:10:19. > :10:21.60 years, archaeologists and volunteers are carefully exposing an
:10:21. > :10:27.important part of Staffordshire 's history. It will help us tell the
:10:27. > :10:32.story of the site and of Cannock Chase 's role in the great War. That
:10:32. > :10:40.role is an important one. The model itself is crucial. It's the only
:10:40. > :10:43.surviving model in the country. 2—macro huge military training camps
:10:43. > :10:50.were based teacher in the First World War. This mock—up was built
:10:50. > :10:56.here after the successful battle in Nottingham 16. This is roughly the
:10:56. > :11:00.size of two tennis courts. It was used to train troops from the front
:11:00. > :11:04.line. Model is very detailed, you can still make out the trenches,
:11:04. > :11:09.roads and buildings. At some of it has been damaged over the years. It
:11:09. > :11:14.surprise winner of the volunteers who himself has recently served the
:11:14. > :11:19.Army. —— one of the volunteers. It would be a small pit, a few feet
:11:19. > :11:26.wide, but nothing on this sort of scale. The team are delighted at how
:11:26. > :11:32.much of the model survives. In areas where we know there was just as grey
:11:32. > :11:36.rather than a concrete surface, that was degraded so we have lost that.
:11:36. > :11:40.But at the moment in the areas we're looking at, we have incredible
:11:40. > :11:45.survival. The excavation is expected to take another three weeks. It will
:11:45. > :11:54.then be scanned and photographed in the smallest detail and reburied to
:11:54. > :11:57.preserve it for future generations. With now is an amateur historian who
:11:57. > :12:05.discovered this site in the first place. How did this actually happen?
:12:05. > :12:11.Purely by accident, walking the dog one Sunday morning, found it wasn't
:12:11. > :12:15.a stick, it was a bit of concrete, thought something wasn't quite
:12:16. > :12:21.right, I brought my friend with me as a member of the project, and with
:12:21. > :12:27.decks of this. And got into trouble! Yes, a cease and desist
:12:28. > :12:35.from the council. But we have been researching ever since. Once you
:12:35. > :12:40.start looking at trenches, because I have been interested in this since I
:12:40. > :12:47.was a child... Briefly describe that, some of the detail is
:12:47. > :12:50.incredible. These are some of the second reserve trenches, with the
:12:50. > :12:57.front over here, you have got some contour lines, if uses the thick
:12:57. > :13:03.area which turned and swirls round, that is like Trent railway, to bring
:13:03. > :13:12.munitions and food. You found it quite exciting? Absolutely.Here in
:13:12. > :13:16.Staffordshire, they will be making the most of marking the centenary of
:13:16. > :13:24.the start of the First World War was a great ball trail. —— with a Great
:13:24. > :13:27.War Trail. This was a conflict many thought would be the complete to end
:13:27. > :13:35.all wars because of the horrific number of casualties.
:13:35. > :13:38.Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were sent out from Staffordshire to
:13:38. > :13:42.fight in the trenches during the Great War. So it's fitting the
:13:42. > :13:45.county is now such a focal point for remembering their sacrifices. No
:13:45. > :13:49.body's forgotten here and we hope people will come from all around the
:13:49. > :13:52.world to remember the fallen. The National Memorial Arboretum at
:13:52. > :13:58.Alrewas is already home to striking tributes to First World War
:13:58. > :14:01.soldiers. Every year people from Australia and New Zealand come to
:14:01. > :14:05.Staffordshire to commemorate the Gallipoli campaign. This solitary
:14:05. > :14:12.tree is grown from an acorn found on the Somme battlefields. And this
:14:12. > :14:20.memorial represents the 306 soldiers shot at dawn for refusing to fight.
:14:20. > :14:23.It commemorates a group of men who would have been beyond the pale for
:14:23. > :14:31.many years. Now they are brought into the fold. These poignant
:14:32. > :14:34.memorials are to become part of an official Staffordshire First World
:14:34. > :14:37.War Trail to mark the conflict's centenary — linking areas of the
:14:37. > :14:40.county forever association with the period. Those in charge of the
:14:40. > :14:45.project say Cannock Chase alone has hundreds of war stories to tell.
:14:45. > :14:50.It's very peaceful here but it wouldn't have been during the war?
:14:50. > :14:54.It wouldn't, it would have been a hive of activity, troops practising
:14:54. > :15:02.for the Western front, digging trenches, throwing hand grenades,
:15:02. > :15:10.practising sniping skills. Half a million soldiers were trained on the
:15:10. > :15:24.Chase. Some of the best archeology. We're looking at imaginative ways
:15:24. > :15:27.tell the story. The trail will also take visitors to two cemeteries on
:15:27. > :15:30.the Chase — scores of New Zealanders stationed here died not in battle,
:15:30. > :15:34.but in the great influenza epidemic at the end of the war. German
:15:34. > :15:37.prisoners of war expecting to be freed watched in horror as the
:15:38. > :15:40.illness spread. As for the local men who made the ultimate sacrifice,
:15:40. > :15:43.their bravery is remembered at the Staffordshire Regiment Museum near
:15:43. > :15:46.Lichfield. Here, as part of the commemorations, they're planning to
:15:46. > :15:49.carry out mock recruitments in several towns as part of a living
:15:49. > :15:52.history project. They thought it was like an adventure, very few people
:15:52. > :15:56.realised it was going to be a long war. Our team would like to set up a
:15:56. > :16:03.recruiting stand in different towns, get people to recruit, sign
:16:03. > :16:07.at a station, have a metal call —— medical and show people what it was
:16:07. > :16:10.like. Nearly 100 years may have passed. The last soldiers have died.
:16:10. > :16:18.But what they did for county and country will live on during the
:16:18. > :16:24.coming centenary. All fascinating stuff, but the, to you in the
:16:24. > :16:27.studio. Back in the 1980s two roommates at
:16:27. > :16:30.Harvard University founded something called "City Year", It was a
:16:30. > :16:33.mentoring scheme built on the conviction that one person can make
:16:34. > :16:36.a difference. Today the same scheme was launched in Birmingham with the
:16:37. > :16:48.aim of tackling underachievement and poor motivation in schools. Holly
:16:49. > :16:53.Lewis reports. Hoping their enthusiasm will bear
:16:53. > :16:56.fruit. These 45 volunteers, all from the West Midlands will spend a year
:16:56. > :17:01.mentoring youngsters in five inner city Birmingham schools. Their job
:17:01. > :17:08.is to inspire children to stick with education and engender a love of
:17:08. > :17:10.learning by drawing along side them. One of schools is Parkfield
:17:10. > :17:18.Community in Saltley where graduate Andy Philpot is on the front line. I
:17:18. > :17:21.don't think there is anything more valuable all worthwhile than being
:17:21. > :17:25.that role model, that inspiration for other people. The teams spend
:17:25. > :17:38.one days a week training, learning skills to help them find work when
:17:38. > :17:41.they leave. But would so many have signed up if there were more job
:17:42. > :17:45.opportunities this year? I think it would still have appealed to me, it
:17:45. > :17:48.is about doing something for your community, it is good to try
:17:48. > :17:54.different things, do something you enjoy. The children have welcomed
:17:54. > :17:57.the volunteers but headteacher say they're no subsitute for qualified
:17:58. > :18:01.teachers and classroom assistants. I see them as enhancing everything we
:18:01. > :18:07.do here, they are not teaching, they are supporting the teaching and
:18:07. > :18:14.learning. If someone is lonely, they help me play with them. They help us
:18:14. > :18:18.with a question we are stuck on. They try to make everyone happy as
:18:18. > :18:21.well. The charity's is backed by President Obama and aims high. It's
:18:21. > :18:26.motto is 'give a year, change the world'.
:18:26. > :18:29.Four people have been arrested by officers policing the anti badger
:18:29. > :18:33.cull protests in Gloucestershire. A man and three women — aged between
:18:33. > :18:36.23 and 46 — are being held on suspicion of theft and aggravated
:18:36. > :18:40.trespass. Around 5,000 badgers are due to be shot over the next five
:18:40. > :18:46.weeks to try to stop the spread of TB from to cattle.
:18:46. > :18:49.More than 20,000 cricket fans will head for Edgbaston tomorrow, hoping
:18:49. > :18:53.that England can beat the weather, and Australia. But they're without
:18:53. > :18:57.several star names and one former England captain says disappointed
:18:57. > :19:07.fans should get their money back. Ian Winter reports. Grey skies over
:19:07. > :19:12.Edgbaston means a long, hot, is now a warm sporting memory. England were
:19:12. > :19:18.sizzling, but now they are in danger of this link to defeat. 1—0 down
:19:18. > :19:23.with three to play, the pressure is on to this experimental team. The
:19:23. > :19:26.reason is absolutely spot on, we have to look after our best players,
:19:26. > :19:32.while looking at the next generation coming through. Whilst England were
:19:32. > :19:36.preparing, Michael Vaughan was pedalling through Cannock Chase on a
:19:36. > :19:40.bike ride. A couple of weeks ago he ruffled a few feathers by tweeting
:19:40. > :19:45.that fans deserve their money back because too many of our Ashes heroes
:19:45. > :19:53.were absent. You have to be careful that people don't write tickets when
:19:53. > :20:00.you are not... It is like going to see one direction and a couple of
:20:00. > :20:05.them don't rock out. I think it is harsh, it said in haste from
:20:05. > :20:11.Michael. The big question, do the England fans think he was right? I
:20:11. > :20:17.would be devastated if I bought a ticket, you buy it months in advance
:20:17. > :20:20.and you want to see the top stars. I think it's good to see the new
:20:20. > :20:24.players commit said we miss out on some of the top players but we just
:20:24. > :20:27.have to work with what we have got. Michael Vaughan is startling to all
:20:27. > :20:33.the one—day international venues, raising money for charity. ——
:20:33. > :20:37.cycling. When he gets to Edgbaston, you might see the younger players
:20:37. > :20:44.grasp their own opportunity to shine against straight year. —— against
:20:44. > :20:53.Australia. That go back to Nick now. Yes, that's right, the
:20:53. > :21:00.volunteers are still working hard into the early evening, a bit of
:21:00. > :21:06.sunlight, one of the volunteers here is run. How is it going? We're
:21:06. > :21:15.preparing the ground so we can do the 3—D process. How are your knees?
:21:15. > :21:20.Not too bad unless I stand up! Some wonderful stuff is being laid out
:21:20. > :21:24.here, it has grown before my eyes. Stephen is the county archaeologist
:21:24. > :21:29.for Staffordshire. Why is this so important? It is unique in this
:21:30. > :21:34.country. There are no others we know of in the British Isles, even on the
:21:34. > :21:41.Western front, it's quite a rare survivor. The detail it is
:21:41. > :21:51.astonishing, what are we looking at? What we are studying —— —— ceiling
:21:51. > :22:01.is Messines, after years of this emotion. This is further out, we
:22:01. > :22:04.have the various defensive lines, the first second defensive line, and
:22:04. > :22:12.further out, the first defensive line. It was a very important
:22:12. > :22:18.battle? Absolutely, it is commemorating the New Zealanders but
:22:18. > :22:22.also acting as a training tool. There is a wealth of photographic
:22:22. > :22:27.material that still remains that remarkable time. One of my
:22:27. > :22:30.favourites is the officers' mess at Brocton Camp. Just a wooden hut,
:22:30. > :22:35.though they still managed to make it pretty civilised. But for the
:22:36. > :22:39.ordinary soldiers, what type of entertainment was available in the
:22:39. > :22:41.towns and cities when they could get away from training? Our arts
:22:41. > :22:52.reporter Satnam Rana has been investigating. It was the era of
:22:52. > :22:56.silent cinema.and during World War One American director DW Griffiths
:22:56. > :22:59.was rising to fame. Birth of a Nation was just one of the films
:22:59. > :23:04.shown here at Birmingham's Electric Cinema in 1916. This cinema was a
:23:04. > :23:08.single screen and it was a single story, so it was long and thin, the
:23:08. > :23:15.screen would have been small. It would've been quite dark, smoky.
:23:15. > :23:20.Uncomfortable. But it was here where many people found their escape. As
:23:20. > :23:28.war set in, cinema new rules would increasingly be used for propaganda.
:23:28. > :23:30.—— newsreels. Troops and civilians still craved the music hall
:23:30. > :23:43.artists.and this lady was leading the way. Billed as the'
:23:43. > :23:47.Staffordshire Cinderella,' Gertie Gitana was born Stoke—onTrent — she
:23:47. > :23:52.was the forces babe. She often entertained the war wounded in
:23:52. > :23:58.hospitals. War though, came with its challenges for those working in arts
:23:58. > :24:04.and entertainement. Sir Perry Jackson opened the Birmingham
:24:04. > :24:07.repertory Theatre in 1913. His vision was to serve the art rather
:24:07. > :24:10.than make it so they commercial purpose, so he wasn't trying to make
:24:10. > :24:16.a commercial profit from the work you did. It was part of a movement
:24:16. > :24:26.to make theatre more about political issues and social issues. But as war
:24:26. > :24:29.set in times were hard. Every Sunday actors that remained went to work at
:24:29. > :24:33.the Birmingham Aluminium Casting Company to make shell cases. And
:24:33. > :24:44.with most men away, Maud Gill became the first female stage manager. One
:24:44. > :24:48.constant though, was the pub. Today, the Pub standards that would have
:24:48. > :24:55.backed them. Dominoes, sing songs and regular points were drunk. The
:24:55. > :24:59.big curtailment was on alcohol and drinking, where Lloyd George seemed
:24:59. > :25:02.to feel that alcohol was as much of a danger as the Germans and the
:25:02. > :25:08.Austrians, so there was a restriction on the amount of hours
:25:08. > :25:11.pubs were opened, there was a solution on the beer so it wasn't so
:25:11. > :25:18.strong, there was a ban on people treating other people to be a! To
:25:18. > :25:20.stop and drinking rounds. As war progressed it was important to keep
:25:20. > :25:30.spirits through arts and entertainment.
:25:30. > :25:32.The sun has gone down now, it is a bit chilly, I wonder what the
:25:32. > :25:41.forecast is? If you got the sunshine, you were
:25:41. > :25:47.lucky but unfortunately, that is probably the best you will get this
:25:47. > :25:51.week. We have low pressure to the east and from tomorrow, we have this
:25:51. > :25:55.chain of systems toppling in one by one from the North—West. We have a
:25:56. > :26:01.warm sector which will lift the temperatures by Thursday, so by this
:26:01. > :26:06.stage, Thursday is looking at the warmest day of the week. I shouldn't
:26:06. > :26:10.get too excited because the temperatures will range from between
:26:11. > :26:16.18 to 20 only and it is going to be accompanied by Dell, damp weather.
:26:16. > :26:19.We have some cloud sitting above eastern parts of the region, which
:26:20. > :26:24.will slowly break up through the night. If we get any clearer spells,
:26:24. > :26:32.they could drop as low as eight or nine Celsius in the countryside.
:26:32. > :26:36.It's mostly dry overnight. Through the morning tomorrow, speck of
:26:36. > :26:40.sunshine or two in the South—East. Then the crowd begins to pile in
:26:40. > :26:49.from this first front, bringing in some mostly light rain. In the
:26:49. > :26:54.north, only 13, from that perspective, tomorrow night could
:26:54. > :26:59.quite warm. Temperatures will only drop by a degree or two. A lot of
:26:59. > :27:03.cloud and eventually it will dry up. As we look further ahead, for the
:27:03. > :27:10.rest of the week, Thursday will be the warmest day, a lot of cloud,
:27:10. > :27:12.rain later on in the day and it will turn heavier by Friday and cooler by
:27:12. > :27:23.that stage two. Michael Le Vell, the courage and
:27:23. > :27:28.straight actor, had been found not guilty of 12 rape and child abuse
:27:28. > :27:34.charges —— Coronation Street actor. We will be back at 10pm looking in
:27:34. > :27:35.more detail at what the Jaguar Land Rover announcement means for the
:27:35. > :27:38.region.
