:00:00. > :00:07.Hello and welcome to Midlands Today with Mary Rhodes and Nick Owen The

:00:07. > :00:10.headlines tonight: Family and friends in Warwickshire pay tribute

:00:10. > :00:19.to a little girl and her mother killed by terrorists in Kenya.

:00:19. > :00:22.People are very sad. Our condolences are with the family.

:00:22. > :00:25.Also tonight, how the Midlands is setting the global standard in

:00:25. > :00:28.automotive technology with a new innovation campus creating hundreds

:00:28. > :00:35.of new jobs in vehicle technology. Many of the ideas are not coming

:00:35. > :00:38.out, they are coming from different industries, different people.

:00:38. > :00:44.Going to auction — farmers in Shropshire count the cost of

:00:44. > :00:50.tuberculosis in cattle. And it has felt like a return to some today, do

:00:50. > :00:58.not be fooled. I will have the full forecast later.

:00:58. > :01:08.Good evening. Friends and family of two victims of the shootings in

:01:08. > :01:11.Kenya say they are trying to come to terms with what has happened there.

:01:11. > :01:14.Zahira and Jennah Bawa from Warwickshire were shot in the attack

:01:14. > :01:17.at a shopping centre. Louis Bawa identified his wife and daughter

:01:17. > :01:20.from photographs of the bodies. They'd been shopping on Saturday

:01:20. > :01:23.morning in Nairobi's Westgate Mall when the attack happened. Here's our

:01:23. > :01:27.special correspondent Peter Wilson. Thousands of miles away, terror and

:01:27. > :01:34.death stalking a shopping centre in Nairobi. 68 people killed, including

:01:34. > :01:38.two from Warwickshire. This man, Louis Bawa, was filmed by the BBC

:01:38. > :01:43.waiting to hear news about his wife and daughter. Both were already

:01:43. > :01:51.dead. At their home in Leamington Spa last night, Mr Bawa's aunt and

:01:51. > :02:03.uncle gave their reaction: we are feeling bad. Very bad. To see these

:02:03. > :02:09.things, we are shocked. Today the family were still desperate for

:02:09. > :02:15.news. They say that they are trying to follow events in Nairobi by

:02:15. > :02:19.watching television news, and it was watching the BBC News at the weekend

:02:19. > :02:24.that a first learned that their family had been involved in this

:02:24. > :02:32.atrocity. Louis Bawa, Victor Tier with his eight—year—old daughter, ——

:02:32. > :02:40.pictured here. I met this man, who was born in Kenya, and is a family

:02:40. > :02:46.friend. It is very sad, very sad. God bless their souls. I hope it

:02:46. > :02:52.doesn't happen, anything like that in the future. These people should

:02:52. > :02:58.be stopped. It has been reported that Louis Bawa's wife and daughter

:02:58. > :03:02.were Muslims, but that did not save them from the fundamentalist

:03:02. > :03:09.terrorists. They have just taken innocent human life. If you take the

:03:09. > :03:12.life of any person it is as if you have taken the life of the entire

:03:12. > :03:17.community. Muslim or non—Muslim, what they have done is completely

:03:17. > :03:24.against the principles of their own faith. This attack has been expected

:03:24. > :03:33.for many years. West Midlands Police have long feared a similar scenario

:03:33. > :03:41.it —— here. One expert says the global nature of our own region can

:03:41. > :03:45.bring terrorism closer to home. We live in a global centre. You have

:03:45. > :03:53.got communities from some of the hot spots in the world. Tourists are

:03:53. > :03:56.going to some of these places. People can easily get caught up in

:03:56. > :04:03.events, either on one side or the other, as we are recently seeing.

:04:03. > :04:07.Tonight, Leamington Spa is morning and eight—year—old girl killed in a

:04:07. > :04:14.far—away place. And Peter joins us now. Is our government here doing

:04:14. > :04:20.anything to counter the terrorist threat there? They say they are

:04:20. > :04:24.taking the threat from this organisation very seriously. That

:04:24. > :04:28.organisation is linked to Al—Qaeda. Apparently they are helping the

:04:28. > :04:35.Kenyan government in the way that it investigates, detains and prosecutes

:04:35. > :04:39.terrorists like this. How do these terrible events affect us here? As

:04:39. > :04:44.that security expert was talking about, the global nature of our

:04:44. > :04:51.region, articulate Birmingham, very diverse city. The terrorist attack

:04:51. > :04:59.in Kenya was linked to events in Somalia. We have a big Somalian

:04:59. > :05:02.population, and a big Kashmiri population. Hotspots like that

:05:02. > :05:07.around the world have a ripple effect and can affect us here. That

:05:07. > :05:11.is why effects like today in Kenya means so much to us here. Thank you.

:05:11. > :05:14.Coming up later in the programme: Patients who've had head and neck

:05:14. > :05:20.cancer campaign to improve earlier diagnosis — the key to far higher

:05:20. > :05:23.rates of recovery. A high—tech automotive research

:05:23. > :05:26.centre could create up to a thousand jobs and make Britain a world leader

:05:26. > :05:30.in vehicle technology, it's being claimed. The multi million pound

:05:30. > :05:35.'National Automotive Innovation Campus' will focus on cutting edge

:05:35. > :05:38.vehicle technology. It's being partly funded by Jaguar

:05:38. > :05:47.Land Rover which already works closely with Warwick University

:05:47. > :05:50.where the centre will be based. Already innovating and collaborating

:05:50. > :05:53.with a variety of car manufacturers — young engineers at the University

:05:53. > :05:59.of Warwick are set to produce even more world beating technology. Here

:05:59. > :06:03.they're already leading the way in the development of low carbon

:06:03. > :06:06.technologies. According to the Professor in charge, it's work that

:06:06. > :06:14.will become even more important once the new campus opens. Unless the

:06:14. > :06:20.companies come to the universities and we work together, we will never

:06:20. > :06:25.create an environment whereby the barrier is removed and they can work

:06:25. > :06:28.together for the good of the nation. The National Automotive Innovation

:06:28. > :06:31.Campus will cost £100 million to build and will house around 1,000

:06:31. > :06:35.academics and engineers. Jaguar Land Rover is putting up half the money —

:06:35. > :06:43.it already has more than 200 staff working at the university. JLR's

:06:43. > :06:51.Indian owners Tata are also here. Innovations, new ideas, they don't

:06:51. > :06:55.come out of the silos, they come from putting people from different

:06:55. > :07:02.branches, different industries, different institutions together, and

:07:02. > :07:04.then you get ideas. Developing new technologies is important to any car

:07:04. > :07:08.company but so too are recruiting the engineers of the future hence

:07:08. > :07:11.the collaboration with Warwick University. And that, according to a

:07:11. > :07:15.briefing today, should go some way to dealing with the industry—wide

:07:15. > :07:20.skills shortage. The National automotive innovation campus will

:07:21. > :07:24.help because it attracts young people. They understand what it

:07:25. > :07:32.means to work in manufacturing, and that hopefully makes them think

:07:32. > :07:35.twice and make a decision to go into advanced manufacturing and

:07:35. > :07:39.engineering. This is the site where the new campus will be built. Work

:07:39. > :07:42.starts this time next year. It's set to become the UK's first 'university

:07:42. > :07:54.of automotive,' training the young engineers of the future. The online

:07:54. > :07:56.retailer Amazon is creating more than 1000 temporary jobs at its

:07:57. > :08:03.centre in Staffordshire. It's to meet the managing the business

:08:03. > :08:07.Christmas season. The company is planning to hire more than 15,000

:08:07. > :08:08.people across the country, they say many could become permanent

:08:08. > :08:11.positions. Today marks the half way point of

:08:11. > :08:14.the badger cull trial in Gloucestershire — as the government

:08:14. > :08:18.tries to control tuberculosis in cattle. But the cull is only part of

:08:18. > :08:21.the story The Government has also stepped up testing of cattle and

:08:21. > :08:23.that's having a huge impact on farmers. Our Rural Affairs

:08:23. > :08:26.Correspondent David Gregory—Kumar reports now on the rise of the "red

:08:26. > :08:29.auction." At Market Drayton Livestock Market

:08:29. > :08:34.they're preparing for a cattle auction. But this one is different.

:08:34. > :08:43.This one is a "red auction". And a red auction has one important rule.

:08:43. > :08:47.Every animal that enters the market tonight will have to go straight to

:08:47. > :08:56.an abattoir and will be slaughtered. And those the rules? Those are the

:08:56. > :08:59.rules. If just one cow on your farm tests positive for TB the whole

:08:59. > :09:02.farmers put in lockdown. The only permitted animal movement is direct

:09:02. > :09:05.to abattoir. And these restrictions have led to the rise of the red

:09:05. > :09:08.auctions as an alternative to selling direct. Everything from

:09:08. > :09:13.single trailers to big lorry loads of cattle turning up. They will sell

:09:13. > :09:20.over 300 animals this evening. They are really popular because they

:09:20. > :09:29.offer farmers a service they really need. But if you don't like the

:09:29. > :09:38.price your animal fetches, too bad. It is a once —— it is a one—stop

:09:38. > :09:42.deal. They hope to get a better price of the come through the

:09:43. > :09:52.market? It is a fair price. Tonight we will have 20 firms buying. We

:09:52. > :10:01.used to do one a month, now we have gone to to a month. We will have

:10:01. > :10:09.three in this month. Definitely to facilitate the extra volume of TB

:10:09. > :10:13.sick cattle. Read options are so popular now. The rules are the same

:10:13. > :10:15.for everyone. Whatever the final price they all go direct to

:10:15. > :10:19.slaughter. Of course, the other part of all

:10:19. > :10:22.this is the badger cull and David is in Gloucestershire this evening.

:10:22. > :10:28.David, at the halfway point in the cull do we have any idea how many

:10:28. > :10:32.badgers have been killed so far? If we're honest, now we don't the

:10:32. > :10:37.company organising the cull are not saying anything at the moment. It is

:10:37. > :10:44.not just the marchers out in the fields —— marksman. Protesters have

:10:44. > :10:51.been collecting video evidence every night. This is what they say is a

:10:51. > :10:54.badger shot as part of the cull. But the protesters would be the first to

:10:54. > :10:58.admit they have not seen that many dead or wounded badgers in the first

:10:58. > :11:01.weeks of the cull, only a handful really. Does that mean the

:11:01. > :11:09.protesters are having an impact? We are delaying the cull, causing

:11:09. > :11:14.problems. Or art —— or is it running very smoothly behind—the—scenes?

:11:14. > :11:22.What happens now? Both sides are gearing up for the final weeks. The

:11:22. > :11:26.public footpaths are being walked looking for dead or injured badgers.

:11:26. > :11:31.Meanwhile on the side of the farmers, we see evidence that some

:11:31. > :11:34.farmers are using cage trapping to catch the badgers. That is an

:11:34. > :11:40.effective way of carrying out a cull. Those behind the cull were

:11:40. > :11:43.keen to avoid that. There is some evidence of cage trapping at this

:11:43. > :11:46.point, but that might be evidence that the cull is not going quite as

:11:46. > :11:52.well as some people would like. Both sides remain determined, and in

:11:52. > :11:55.three weeks' time we will find out just how effective and humane the

:11:55. > :12:04.badger cull in Gloucestershire has been. Thank you very much. It is 18

:12:04. > :12:08.minutes to seven, are top story: Family and friends pay tribute to a

:12:08. > :12:12.little girl and her mother killed in the terrorist attack at a Kenyan

:12:12. > :12:15.shopping centre. Your detailed weather forecast to come shortly,

:12:15. > :12:20.and also tonight: The best deal on the high street, would—be retailers

:12:20. > :12:25.compete to get their own shop rent free for six months. And experience

:12:25. > :12:31.pays, one of county cricket's oldest players is this season's leading

:12:31. > :12:34.wicket taker. Head and neck cancer affects

:12:34. > :12:38.thousands of people every year, but attracts far less publicity than

:12:38. > :12:41.some other forms of the condition. Pub landlord David Bailey is one of

:12:41. > :12:46.those effected. Surgeons had to remove an eye and his teeth to rid

:12:46. > :12:49.him of the disease. Now he's supporting a campaign with

:12:49. > :12:52.doctors at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham that aims to

:12:52. > :12:56.help people spot the early warning signs, so that treatment has a

:12:56. > :13:00.greater chance of success. Cath Mackie reports.

:13:00. > :13:03.David Bailey is doing what he does most days — pulling pints behind the

:13:03. > :13:10.bar at his pub in Alcester in Warwickshire. Thank you very much,

:13:10. > :13:13.enjoy your meal. But the scar around his eye is a visible reminder of the

:13:13. > :13:20.ordeal he's undergone through cancer. This here was taken away,

:13:20. > :13:25.and all the bone and tissue behind it. Cheekbone. David's face was

:13:25. > :13:29.reconstructed by doctors at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in

:13:29. > :13:32.Birmingham. Just relax. They've joined up with doctors from 13

:13:32. > :13:37.European countries in a campaign to get head and neck cancer higher up

:13:37. > :13:40.the public agenda. Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common

:13:40. > :13:44.cancer worldwide. In the UK around about ten years ago, there were 6000

:13:44. > :13:49.cases diagnosed every year. That's on the rise. There's now about 7,000

:13:49. > :13:56.new cases. The biggest increase is among young people aged 18 to 30. If

:13:56. > :14:02.you pick up head and neck cancer early, there is an 80 to 90% cure

:14:02. > :14:07.rate. Unfortunately, 60% of all the patients we see, the cancer is not

:14:07. > :14:17.picked up until it is in its late stages. What that means is that the

:14:17. > :14:21.cure rates fall down to 20%. This woman took little notice at first of

:14:22. > :14:26.the pain in her mouth. I really didn't think it was great to be

:14:26. > :14:29.cancer. I didn't consider it at all. I didn't realise that mild

:14:29. > :14:39.occasional toothache could be a simple but —— a symptom of cancer.

:14:39. > :14:42.Two inches were cut out of Kay's jaw and she's waiting for more surgery.

:14:42. > :14:46.But she and David Bailey are the lucky ones — and by supporting the

:14:46. > :14:48.campaign they hope to save more lives.

:14:48. > :14:53.With us now is the consultant surgeon we saw in Cath's report

:14:53. > :14:58.there, Sat Parmar. While our GPs and dentists not spotting the problem

:14:59. > :15:02.more often? The main problem is the symptoms that people expedience are

:15:02. > :15:06.very common but they are not commonly associated with cancer.

:15:06. > :15:13.Anyone who has a cold or so throat, earache, a hoarse voice, those are

:15:13. > :15:17.very rarely associated with cancer. The GPs were more commonly see

:15:17. > :15:20.people who have a common cold, and when they do have a patient with

:15:20. > :15:26.cancer, it is relatively easy for them to assume that the patient has

:15:26. > :15:32.a relatively mundane problem. What are the symptoms? The symptoms are

:15:32. > :15:39.on this leaflet here that we will be handing out. So tongue, and

:15:39. > :15:44.non—healing ulcer in the mouth. A bloody nasal discharge coming from

:15:44. > :15:54.one side of the nose. Pain in the year on swallowing. This campaign is

:15:54. > :15:58.called 143, this is the kind of thing you should be seeing your

:15:58. > :16:05.doctor about. What sort of people are most at risk? People who smoke.

:16:05. > :16:12.Particularly of you smoke and drink heavily. Those are the common

:16:12. > :16:17.causes. And the number of cases seems to be going up, why is that?

:16:17. > :16:23.Partly because cancer is a disease of old age. But actually within head

:16:23. > :16:29.and neck cancer, we're seeing younger patients getting cancer more

:16:29. > :16:36.often as well, maybe to do with drinking patterns as well as smoking

:16:36. > :16:48.patterns. There is a recognised association with infection to the

:16:48. > :16:52.phalanx. Can that be vaccinated? That is a subject of great debate.

:16:52. > :17:04.Girls are vaccinated because of survival cancer. Is a vaccination

:17:05. > :17:12.for boys likely to come along? Cost benefit analyses are being done. You

:17:13. > :17:15.have to pay for vaccinations. This form of cancer does not seem to get

:17:15. > :17:22.the attention that breast cancer and prostate cancer gets. Traditionally

:17:22. > :17:27.it has been because the causative factors have been smoking and

:17:27. > :17:31.drinking. It is a group of cancers, and they are all quite rare. It is

:17:31. > :17:37.quite difficult to generate a lot of interest when you have a relatively

:17:37. > :17:44.small number of patients suffering. And you are trying to generate

:17:44. > :17:52.interest by, you have a bus. Yes it is going to be in Edgbaston Street.

:17:52. > :17:55.The purposes art screening as many people as we can. Thank you very

:17:55. > :17:59.much. And our sister programme Inside Out

:17:59. > :18:04.West Midlands will have more on this subject later in the autumn. Now to

:18:04. > :18:10.the problems on the high street. A rather different approach for many

:18:10. > :18:12.in Staffordshire. Budding entrepreneurs have been pitching

:18:12. > :18:15.their ideas for revitalising Newcastle under Lyme high street to

:18:15. > :18:19.a 'Dragons' Den' style panel today. The winners will open up a business

:18:19. > :18:23.rent free for six months in three of the town's many empty premises. 30

:18:23. > :18:26.entrants were whittled down to ten finalists, who had to present their

:18:26. > :18:29.vision to the panel. Holly Lewis reports on how they got on. So

:18:29. > :18:33.basically think of a wedding fair where they walk in and everything is

:18:33. > :18:37.under one roof. This allows this to happen within Newcastle.

:18:37. > :18:40.With a plan for a high end fashion and bridal shop, Joanne Clay entered

:18:40. > :18:42.the dragon's den today. Listening to her pitch, restaurant franchisee

:18:42. > :18:45.Eddie Leligdowicz, Sinead Butters, the chief executive of Aspire

:18:45. > :18:57.Housing, and entrepreneur Mo Chaudry. Different dragons, same

:18:57. > :19:04.grilling. I am sort of looking at it from a marketing point of view. How

:19:04. > :19:07.are you going to be able to generate enthusiasm for business? There were

:19:07. > :19:11.nine other bidders from a fair trade craft centre to an IT security firm.

:19:11. > :19:14.The competition was the idea of the town centre management team. Things

:19:14. > :19:19.in the high street, they are pretty bad, we have gone through a downturn

:19:19. > :19:22.in the economy so we have got to look for innovative ways such as

:19:22. > :19:28.this to increase the occupancy levels. This is one of the prizes on

:19:28. > :19:31.offer. An empty shop in a prime position on the high street. Six

:19:31. > :19:38.months will be rent free, six months have to rent along with a few extra

:19:38. > :19:41.start—up costs. The whole package is worth around £30,000. Two other

:19:41. > :19:44.premises are also on offer. With 16% of shops currently vacant in

:19:44. > :19:47.Newcastle, there's no shortage of choice. The money has come from the

:19:47. > :19:56.borough council, Aspire Housing and a private landlord. As long as they

:19:56. > :20:00.underpin spirit is alive and kicking there will always be opportunities

:20:00. > :20:07.—— entrepreneurial spirit. The public and private sector it are

:20:07. > :20:11.working together. To inspire a number of young entrepreneurs to

:20:11. > :20:14.give it a go. Somebody has to have the motivation to give it a go.

:20:14. > :20:22.After a morning of tension the top three were announced. My winner is

:20:22. > :20:25.Joe. —— My winner is Jo. The other two were Nest, an arts cafe and

:20:25. > :20:32.Alpha Clinic, a specialist tattoo company for bald men to replace hair

:20:32. > :20:37.loss. I could not ask for a better opportunity to start a business, so

:20:37. > :20:43.really, really chuffed. It is really exciting. This is just the start,

:20:43. > :20:46.there is so much more to do. I am really looking forward to it. All

:20:46. > :20:51.three hope to be up and running in the next month.

:20:51. > :20:55.Dan's here with tonight's sport. And a big night for Aston Villa who

:20:55. > :20:58.almost reached the final of the Capital One Cup last season. Yes,

:20:58. > :21:01.Paul Lambert's dream of reaching Wembley was dashed by Bradford City

:21:01. > :21:03.in the semi—finals. This evening in Round Three, Villa are without

:21:03. > :21:06.several injured first—team players against Tottenham. But the BBC

:21:06. > :21:14.football pundit Robbie Savage is tipping a home win tonight. It is a

:21:14. > :21:22.tough game, Spurs in Europe, big squad. The luck, will it be a shock

:21:22. > :21:28.if they beat Spurs at home? I'm not sure. The latter two, Spurs one. And

:21:28. > :21:36.you can follow Villa's progress tonight on BBC WM, 95.6 FM.

:21:36. > :21:41.Warwickshire may have three players, but Worcestershire can

:21:41. > :21:46.boast the leading wicket taker in county cricket. And Alan Richardson

:21:46. > :21:50.has been at it again. At 38 he's one of the oldest players in county

:21:50. > :21:52.cricket and he's spent the season battling an ankle injury. But that

:21:52. > :21:57.didn't stop him taking another two wickets today. He's 38 — but you

:21:57. > :22:00.wouldn't know it. As Worcestershire limbered up for their final match of

:22:00. > :22:04.the season Alan Richardson was giving it his all. For him it's not

:22:04. > :22:09.work. I have been a landscape gardener and a few shocking jobs in

:22:09. > :22:14.my time, so I absolutely love it. I really look forward to my work.

:22:14. > :22:18.And his efforts are paying off. Richardson's the leading wicket

:22:18. > :22:26.taker in the country. What he has done since he has been near is

:22:26. > :22:31.absolutely tremendous. He is also a player who has played through

:22:31. > :22:34.injuries. He has bitten the bullet and gotten on with it. But

:22:34. > :22:37.Richardson had the morning off today. Northamptonshire won the toss

:22:37. > :22:45.at New Road, they asked Worcestershire to bat and it soon

:22:46. > :22:51.looked a good decision. Northants have been among the wickets this

:22:51. > :22:55.morning. Before this match started, he had already taken 63 wickets this

:22:55. > :22:58.summer. More than anyone else in first—class cricket. So Worcester's

:22:59. > :23:03.cricket lovers had to wait to see their top bowler in action. But they

:23:03. > :23:09.know a good one when they see one. Absolutely amazing for his age. He

:23:09. > :23:16.is inspirational. If you see him limping or wincing, you worry. But

:23:16. > :23:19.fingers crossed he keeps going. Haven't had a consistent bowler like

:23:19. > :23:22.that for years. Finally this afternoon, Alan Richardson was

:23:22. > :23:29.unleashed on Northamptonshire. And he didn't disappoint. Apparently the

:23:29. > :23:33.secret is in his mood swings. I'm very proud of what I do, so I can

:23:33. > :23:37.get a bit grumpy at times. The lads always say that I am at my best when

:23:37. > :23:41.I'm grumpy. They give me a bit of grief for it. But I really enjoy

:23:41. > :23:45.it, it might not look like it on the pitch, but I do. Alan Richardson has

:23:45. > :23:48.one year left on his contract. But everyone at Worcestershire hopes he

:23:48. > :23:53.can keep going for a good deal longer.

:23:53. > :23:57.His grumpy mood might continue. Give us an idea of the story of the

:23:57. > :24:04.match? Worcestershire made a terrible start. They went on to be

:24:04. > :24:15.all out for 163 before Northants closed the day on 103 for four. The

:24:15. > :24:25.weather looked a bit grey there. I should also mention you can get —— a

:24:25. > :24:27.player can get £10,000, there is a lot at stake.

:24:27. > :24:30.Finally, speedway fans are already looking forward to Monday night at

:24:30. > :24:33.Perry Barr. Home advantage for the Birmingham Brummies as they take a

:24:33. > :24:44.two—point lead into the second leg of their play—off semifinal against

:24:44. > :24:51.Wolves. There is everything to play for. Hopefully, we'll have all the

:24:51. > :24:59.Villa goal action here tomorrow evening. For many others —— for many

:24:59. > :25:05.of us it has been gorgeous. More of the same tomorrow please. The last

:25:05. > :25:09.of the sunshine, I think it's just about to go. We are in for a mild

:25:09. > :25:14.but cloudy night tonight. It has been very pleasant today.

:25:14. > :25:18.Temperatures getting up to around 20 Celsius when the sun did break

:25:18. > :25:23.through the clouds. It will be a largely cloudy night. We could see

:25:23. > :25:28.some clear spells in places. But overall, the theme for the next few

:25:28. > :25:35.days is that we are going to stay quite mild. We did see plenty of

:25:35. > :25:39.cloud through the morning, but we did see the sun start to burn

:25:39. > :25:43.through it quite readily and we got clear spells through the day.

:25:43. > :25:49.Tonight we're going to start to see any holes, particularly over

:25:49. > :25:53.Birmingham, starting to fill in. That blanket of cloud will make

:25:53. > :25:57.things feel much milder overnight, temperatures managing to stay in the

:25:58. > :26:01.mid for most of us. We will get some close spells, particularly over the

:26:01. > :26:06.south of the region. Temperatures will follow enough to see mist and

:26:06. > :26:12.fog patches developing. It will be quite a misty, murky, grey start to

:26:12. > :26:15.tomorrow. We will start to see that burning off quite rapidly. When the

:26:15. > :26:18.sun comes out again it is going to be another pleasant day. Spells of

:26:18. > :26:23.sunshine to come, temperatures creeping up to around 20 possibly.

:26:23. > :26:27.More sunshine to come through tomorrow afternoon, but then we

:26:27. > :26:30.start to see a slight change. The cloud will thicken, we cannot rule

:26:30. > :26:34.out the odd shower here and there is weather front start to squeeze in.

:26:34. > :26:38.Overnight, we will start to see things changing. We will have high

:26:38. > :26:42.pressure dominating for the start of this week, but through the end of

:26:42. > :26:46.the week things will turn to a low pressure dominating. And we will

:26:46. > :26:51.draw on winds from the south—west. Temperatures will start to fall a

:26:51. > :26:56.degree or two. It will feel cooler as well. Particularly through

:26:56. > :27:00.Thursday. Over Wednesday night, cloud thickening again, some mist

:27:01. > :27:04.and fog patches developing, but they will eventually clear. The sun will

:27:04. > :27:07.come out. As we make our way to the next few days, staying cloudy and

:27:07. > :27:11.mild, but into the weekend it is cooling off a little and we have got

:27:11. > :27:14.the return of the rain, I'm afraid. Thank you.

:27:14. > :27:17.Let's recap tonight's top stories: Ed Miliband promises Labour will

:27:17. > :27:21.freeze gas and electricity bills for 20 months if they win the next

:27:21. > :27:24.election. And family and friends pay tribute

:27:24. > :27:28.to a mother and daughter killed in the terrorist attack at a Kenyan

:27:28. > :27:31.shopping mall We'll be back at 10pm with the night's football results

:27:31. > :27:34.and we'll be out with campaigners to find out how they plan to continue

:27:35. > :27:37.monitoring the badger cull in Gloucestershire. Have a great

:27:37. > :27:41.evening. Goodbye.
