:00:00. > :00:08.Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: Who murdered

:00:09. > :00:12.Maxine? Killed in the pub bombings ` now her family meet one of the

:00:13. > :00:15.Birmingham Six, once blamed for her death. We'll be hearing from Maxine

:00:16. > :00:19.Hambleton's brother and sister nearly forty years after that

:00:20. > :00:23.fateful night and asking how it felt to meet a man they long believed

:00:24. > :00:26.killed their sister. Also this evening ` losing our countryside.

:00:27. > :00:31.Fears that haphazard planning rules could become a developer's charter.

:00:32. > :00:39.With colder weather on the way, the struggle to pay soaring energy

:00:40. > :00:43.costs. They always go up higher so you have to skimp back on things.

:00:44. > :00:46.It's going to get difficult. A hard`fought three points puts Wolves

:00:47. > :00:53.at the top of the table. Surely just the platform they need for a

:00:54. > :00:58.promotion push? He would tip them to do it, be one of the sides competing

:00:59. > :01:02.at the top of this league. And according to the calendar, it may

:01:03. > :01:05.still be autumn but as far as the weather's concerned, winter's

:01:06. > :01:10.already here. Brace yourselves for a cold week.

:01:11. > :01:16.Good evening. Maxine Hambleton was 18 when she died in a Birmingham pub

:01:17. > :01:22.at the height of the IRA bombing campaign in the '70s. Tonight a BBC

:01:23. > :01:26.Midlands documentary looks at growing demands by Maxine's family

:01:27. > :01:30.to have the case re`opened. They've formed an unlikely alliance with

:01:31. > :01:34.Paddy Hill ` one of six men wrongly convicted of the atrocity. Although

:01:35. > :01:37.it's now almost forty years since the Birmingham pub bombings, the

:01:38. > :01:40.Hambleton family say they'll never give up fighting to bring those

:01:41. > :01:54.responsible to justice. Anthony Bartram reports.

:01:55. > :01:57.Brian and Julie 's sister Maxine was burnt `` killed in the Birmingham

:01:58. > :02:08.pub bombings. They haven't given up hope of finding out who did it and

:02:09. > :02:14.support their campaign is growing. It's really nice to meet you. Oh my

:02:15. > :02:22.God. We have so many people around you. Surprisingly few of those

:02:23. > :02:26.affected by the bombings know each other. Julie and Maureen Mitchell

:02:27. > :02:32.had never met. She was so badly injured in the explosion that

:02:33. > :02:39.priests gave her the last rites. It's emotional for me, because you

:02:40. > :02:51.were there. You have been through it, literally. And my heart goes out

:02:52. > :02:53.to you. Ladies and gentlemen. Many of the victims families feel that

:02:54. > :02:56.they have been forgotten in the controversy that surrounded the

:02:57. > :03:04.unsafe convictions of the Birmingham six. 22 years after their release,

:03:05. > :03:10.one of them is now offering to help the Hambletons, but can they

:03:11. > :03:15.accepted? I understand what those people feel like, they have had

:03:16. > :03:19.years of having someone to focus their anger on, and of course their

:03:20. > :03:25.anger was focused on us. I have a similar anger. But my anger is

:03:26. > :03:31.focused on the West Midlands serious crime squad. Mr Hill and the

:03:32. > :03:40.Hambleton 's first meeting took place at this peace foundation. It's

:03:41. > :03:44.in our DNA that we were told that you were the ringleader of the

:03:45. > :03:52.so`called Birmingham six. As far as I was concerned, you killed my

:03:53. > :03:56.sister. And all the other 20. I understand that, you don't have to

:03:57. > :04:00.tell me, I know what they said. I would love to see my country united

:04:01. > :04:06.but I had nothing to do with the IRA. It's the 39th anniversary on

:04:07. > :04:10.Thursday and detectives are currently reassessing the case. The

:04:11. > :04:15.Hambletons and Mr Hill admit they are an odd alliance but they truth

:04:16. > :04:18.about who bombed Birmingham has to come out.

:04:19. > :04:22.Joining us now are Maxine's brother and sister, whom we saw there, Brian

:04:23. > :04:26.and Julie. Good evening to you both. Can you briefly outline the last

:04:27. > :04:32.time you saw Maxine, what were her plans that terrible night 39 years

:04:33. > :04:41.ago this week? I gave my sister lived into town, I didn't know she

:04:42. > :04:43.was going to the pub, she got these personal invites, she was going to

:04:44. > :04:50.hand them out to her friends to invite them to a house`warming party

:04:51. > :04:56.at the house we were living in. So you knew she was going to the

:04:57. > :05:00.tavern? I didn't know it was that pub, she didn't state where she was

:05:01. > :05:05.going. I heard the news later on in the evening when an ITN news flash

:05:06. > :05:13.came on. They said two bombs have gone off in the city centre. And you

:05:14. > :05:20.didn't know specifically? You get these gut feeling is that something

:05:21. > :05:26.is wrong. Do you think you will ever know who did this? I certainly hope

:05:27. > :05:29.so, that's why we took part in this documentary, to raise the plight of

:05:30. > :05:36.our campaign for justice to be seen to be done. We horrified, as are our

:05:37. > :05:41.supporters, that no one is looking for the perpetrators, we live in a

:05:42. > :05:45.democratic society, and for the past 22 years since the man known as the

:05:46. > :05:52.Birmingham six were released, no one in the West Midlands Police or

:05:53. > :05:58.government have taken up looking for the perpetrators. They are still at

:05:59. > :06:04.liberty. What was it like meeting Paddy Hill, the man you long

:06:05. > :06:07.believed killed your sister? It nearly didn't happen. I walked in

:06:08. > :06:13.and I thought my knees would buckle beneath me. I just fell apart. I

:06:14. > :06:18.must have been suffering for about six minutes, I was thinking about

:06:19. > :06:23.Maxine, thinking about mum. Mum had to identify Maxine and she was told

:06:24. > :06:27.not to buy her face because their injuries were such that they detect

:06:28. > :06:33.this didn't want her last memory of her daughter to be of her injuries.

:06:34. > :06:42.So mum identified her from the rings she was wearing and the bangles,

:06:43. > :06:48.which I now in my position. Brian, will the police ever reinvestigate,

:06:49. > :06:55.do you believe? No, I don't think they will, there is too much to

:06:56. > :07:07.lose, for them and the authorities. But that goes with the comment made

:07:08. > :07:11.on pre`recorded television with the BBC, where Marcus Peel stated that

:07:12. > :07:22.if it's the right thing to do, they will reinvestigate. What did you

:07:23. > :07:26.think when you heard him say that? I was shocked, because they are

:07:27. > :07:33.pre`empting what's coming down the road as far as I'm concerned. We

:07:34. > :07:40.have taken it as a personal slight, but only to our family but to all

:07:41. > :07:46.the other victims and survivors. It's 39 years on but it's still

:07:47. > :07:52.incredibly raw, clearly. It is, we live with it every day. I was 11

:07:53. > :08:00.when my sister was killed. I will never forget. The police have all

:08:01. > :08:03.the clues, all the forensics, they could clear this case but they are

:08:04. > :08:06.not prepared to because there is too much at risk. Thank you for talking

:08:07. > :08:20.to us. Coming up later in the programme `

:08:21. > :08:27.details of a new scheme that could help you cut more than ?200 a year

:08:28. > :08:30.from from gas and electricity bills. The Government's facing a backbench

:08:31. > :08:35.revolt from Conservative MPs over changes to planning rules seen as "a

:08:36. > :08:39.developer's charter". As ministers battle to ease a chronic shortage of

:08:40. > :08:41.affordable housing, there are warnings that haphazard developments

:08:42. > :08:50.will threaten the countryside. Our Political Editor Patrick Burns has

:08:51. > :08:55.the details. Middle England, marching on Middle Quinton, the name

:08:56. > :08:58.given by developers to proposed 6000 home eco`town near

:08:59. > :09:03.Stratford`upon`Avon. The people Power saw it off and 11 others like

:09:04. > :09:08.it. It had fallen flower of a U`turn by the previous Labour government.

:09:09. > :09:13.Their other big idea, the regional spatial strategy for up to 400

:09:14. > :09:17.thousand new homes across the West Midlands, was promptly scrapped by

:09:18. > :09:22.the incoming coalition government. In its place, the National planning

:09:23. > :09:26.framework. It comes in when local authorities fail to agree housing

:09:27. > :09:30.developed plans in their areas, and its controversial because it resumes

:09:31. > :09:39.in favour of housing planning applications. That's what critics

:09:40. > :09:43.say it is a developer 's charter. Take this area in Staffordshire. The

:09:44. > :09:48.plan envisages 600 houses in 12 key servers villages over 20 years. But

:09:49. > :09:50.the new rules enable National planning inspectors to intervene

:09:51. > :09:56.when they deem local plans inadequate. The inspectorate ruled

:09:57. > :10:05.they did not have a five`year supply of housing. The results, a rash of

:10:06. > :10:08.ill considered developments. The government intention was to be a

:10:09. > :10:11.plan led system but this ad hoc development brings that into

:10:12. > :10:16.question and we will have to see if that is just a glitch. There is no

:10:17. > :10:22.excuse for a local authority not to put a plan in place. That is a

:10:23. > :10:29.fundamental responsibility. Those who haven't need to get a move on.

:10:30. > :10:35.The Minister was in Chomsky would, where the local MP was keen to show

:10:36. > :10:45.him how rundown housing can be reclaimed. It's one of the biggest

:10:46. > :10:47.project of its kind, a ?150 million partnership between Solihull

:10:48. > :10:53.Council, the housing association and British Gas. This estate has been

:10:54. > :10:59.regenerated, creating 900 extra homes, to rent, to buy, to part by,

:11:00. > :11:05.everything possible, with lots of local jobs created. But the housing

:11:06. > :11:12.association umbrella body warned there is no substitute for a step

:11:13. > :11:16.change in house building. It is often the same people who say don't

:11:17. > :11:20.build here as you say, my child can't find a home they can afford.

:11:21. > :11:27.We need to say yes to homes. We have a campaign to lobby local councils

:11:28. > :11:31.and petitions to get housing built. This development is on a brown field

:11:32. > :11:36.site, once part of the good year tyre factory in Wolverhampton.

:11:37. > :11:42.According to the Shadow Housing Minister and local MP, it's being

:11:43. > :11:47.built with a minimum of fuss. A handful of objections were made. It

:11:48. > :11:51.shows that brown field can be fantastic. We need to kick`start

:11:52. > :11:55.building and make sure that developers aren't sitting on land

:11:56. > :11:59.where there is planning permission. So it can be done but for

:12:00. > :12:05.governments past present and possible future, finding a plan

:12:06. > :12:09.without ignoring `` igniting a firestorm is the political

:12:10. > :12:13.equivalent of the holy Grail. And you can read more about the

:12:14. > :12:16.issues surrounding these big new housing developments on line ` just

:12:17. > :12:24.go to Patrick's blog which he's devoted to the subject.

:12:25. > :12:26.More than ?3 million has been paid out to women who underwent

:12:27. > :12:28.unnecessary or incomplete breast cancer operations at hospitals in

:12:29. > :12:31.the West Midlands. Ian Paterson carried out unregulated procedures

:12:32. > :12:36.on women while working for the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust. His

:12:37. > :12:42.case is still being investigated by the police and he's been suspended.

:12:43. > :12:45.Families struggling to pay soaring energy bills have until tomorrow to

:12:46. > :12:53.benefit from a scheme where councils negotiate to buy in bulk. Savings

:12:54. > :12:57.would be passed on to consumers. The average cost of a dual fuel bill `

:12:58. > :13:01.electricity and gas ` is now ?1,300. Ten years ago that figure was ?570,

:13:02. > :13:04.so costs have more than doubled. The Big Community Switch could save

:13:05. > :13:10.customers around ?220 on their bills. Ben Godfrey reports. Lana

:13:11. > :13:14.Johnson is struggling to pay her bills. The single mother from

:13:15. > :13:22.Bilston has seen her gas and electricity tariffs rise again and

:13:23. > :13:26.something's got to give. Especially at this time of year, they always go

:13:27. > :13:33.up high, so you have to skimp on things. It's going to get the court.

:13:34. > :13:41.I am not a salesman, work for the council. Lana's decided to sign`up

:13:42. > :13:45.to the 'Big Community Switch'. Here's the idea ` local councils

:13:46. > :13:48.invite people to join a club ` the bigger the club ` the harder the

:13:49. > :13:51.energy companies will compete for this sizeable custom. And, they

:13:52. > :13:55.hope, offer some of their lowest tariffs for gas and electricity.

:13:56. > :13:59.Around 3500 people in the last nine months have taken up the scheme.

:14:00. > :14:03.Overall, people are expected to save pitting the 101 inch and ?50 on

:14:04. > :14:09.their energy bills by going through the switch. Here's the BUT. In

:14:10. > :14:13.Wolverhampton, thousands have registered but fewer than 200 got a

:14:14. > :14:16.deal ` many haven't followed the process through. And critics of the

:14:17. > :14:20.scheme say ` ultimately ` people have no power over a firm's pricing

:14:21. > :14:29.policy. Five of the big six energy companies have recently increased

:14:30. > :14:32.their tariffs by an average of 8.1%. And the Government's Spending

:14:33. > :14:35.Watchdog National Audit Office says consumers face 17 more years of

:14:36. > :14:38.above inflation increases. Lana Johnson is one of 27,000 people

:14:39. > :14:45.across the UK hoping to bag a bargain. How confident are you that

:14:46. > :14:52.your bills are going to come down at the end of this? You can only hope,

:14:53. > :14:56.really. I will believe it when I see it, hopefully. It's customers trying

:14:57. > :15:01.to 'call the shots' at a time many feel so helpless.

:15:02. > :15:03.And if you want help bringing down your energy bills, there's more

:15:04. > :15:13.information on the Energy Saving Trust website. This is our top story

:15:14. > :15:17.tonight: Who murdered Maxine? Killed in the pub bombings ` now her family

:15:18. > :15:27.meet one of the Birmingham Six, once blamed for her death.

:15:28. > :15:30.Your detailed weather forecast to come shortly from Shefali. Also in

:15:31. > :15:33.tonight's programme ` the schoolgirl who lost the use of her legs

:15:34. > :15:36.overnight and how that's spurred her on to become a world class

:15:37. > :15:39.competitor. And why this acclaimed schoolboy musician says his

:15:40. > :15:48.inspirational music teacher is the best there is. He is not just the

:15:49. > :15:49.best beauty teacher, I think he's one of the best teachers I've ever

:15:50. > :16:00.had. Dan's here with a sport and an

:16:01. > :16:04.exciting weekend in League One. Who needs the Premier League? Remember

:16:05. > :16:14.the name, Ethan Ebanks`Landell. He is on top of the world of the

:16:15. > :16:17.scoring on his debut. Every year, Wolverhampton Wanderers spends ?2.5

:16:18. > :16:22.million on developing young players at the club's Academy. And it's

:16:23. > :16:26.proving to be a wise investment. Farewell to St Edmunds School in

:16:27. > :16:33.Wolverhampton. Today, the old building was being raized to the

:16:34. > :16:36.ground. Soon to be replaced by Wolves' new football academy. In

:16:37. > :16:41.recent years, the club has produced a good crop of talented home grown

:16:42. > :16:44.players. And now the name of Ethan Ebanks`Landell can be added to the

:16:45. > :16:52.list of Academy scholars who've graduated to the first team. And

:16:53. > :16:55.what a debut it was. With only 14 minutes left, he popped up with the

:16:56. > :17:04.match`winning goal to earn three priceless points. You looked

:17:05. > :17:08.delighted! He has come through the ranks, as have many of the lads, I'm

:17:09. > :17:13.sure it will mean a lot to him. He is a very good character, a calm

:17:14. > :17:20.character, very professional lead. He has a good future ahead of him.

:17:21. > :17:25.160 youngsters are chosen for the Wolves academy and it is this man 's

:17:26. > :17:31.job to make sure the club gets good value from its annual investment of

:17:32. > :17:35.?2.5 million. There has never been a good time to be a young Wolves

:17:36. > :17:42.player, you have to be given an opportunity, and for us to do that

:17:43. > :17:51.is a real step forward. Next month, Ethan Ebanks`Landell celebrates his

:17:52. > :17:56.birthday but nothing will match the feeling of scoring on his debut. So

:17:57. > :18:00.Wolves are top of League One but there was also drama and controversy

:18:01. > :18:04.for Coventry City yesterday. They drew 3`3 at Bradford City but that

:18:05. > :18:06.only tells part of the story. The Sky Blues took the lead within a

:18:07. > :18:15.minute. Andy Webster scoring after a mix up in the Bradford defence. And

:18:16. > :18:18.they went 2`nil up within seven minutes ` Callum Wilson's pace

:18:19. > :18:21.setting up the chance for Leon Clarke. Bradford fought but but

:18:22. > :18:26.trailed 3`2 four minutes into injury time when this happened. Jordan

:18:27. > :18:29.Clarke handled it. Nakhi Wells scored to complete a hat`trick and

:18:30. > :18:34.make it 3`3 but the drama wasn't finished. The Sky Blues manager

:18:35. > :18:38.Steven Pressley involved in a touchline row with the Bradford

:18:39. > :18:41.manager Phil Parkinson. Pressley wouldn't say what was said to him

:18:42. > :18:50.afterwards but said it was appalling and unprofessional. And quite a game

:18:51. > :18:55.between Port Vale and Shrewsbury Town. League One was the place to be

:18:56. > :18:58.wasn't it? Vale won 3`1 but the result was in doubt until the 90th

:18:59. > :19:02.minute. Following a Shrewsbury corner Vale broke away to make it

:19:03. > :19:05.3`1 through Jordan Hugill. And we've still got Walsall against

:19:06. > :19:09.Peterborough this evening. Imagine going to sleep one night,

:19:10. > :19:13.able`bodied. And waking up unable to move. That's what happened to Lauren

:19:14. > :19:15.Rowles at the age of thirteen. But less than two years later, the

:19:16. > :19:19.wheelchair racer from Worcestershire is on the verge of going to the

:19:20. > :19:22.Commonwealth Games. Ben Sidwell's been to meet the latest contender

:19:23. > :19:32.for newcomer of the year in the West Midlands Community Sports Awards.

:19:33. > :19:39.Lauren Rowles was a promising young runner until one night. It happened

:19:40. > :19:44.within the space of ten, 12 hours, I went to bed that night, fully

:19:45. > :19:48.able`bodied, nothing wrong with me, and I woke up the next morning and I

:19:49. > :19:59.had completely couldn't feel my legs. Diagnosed with the spinal

:20:00. > :20:04.condition Transverse myelitis and left with no sensation from the

:20:05. > :20:08.chest down. But inspired by the London 2012 Paralympics she was

:20:09. > :20:13.determined to return to the track. I never thought she would be on the

:20:14. > :20:21.track, she would be in a racing chair, just so happy. It just goes

:20:22. > :20:25.to show Lauren 's strength of character. At North Bromsgrove High

:20:26. > :20:30.School, fellow students have raised over ?15,000 to buy equipment to

:20:31. > :20:34.help Lauren in her sport. I was watching her go around the track and

:20:35. > :20:39.I was really proud of her, it's a great feeling to see my best friend

:20:40. > :20:42.succeeding at what she does best. It has been an inspiration for other

:20:43. > :20:46.students to see somebody who was able`bodied coming back and tackling

:20:47. > :20:54.everyday school life with a positive attitude. People say, how can you

:20:55. > :20:59.smile every day and I say there are worse things than being in a chair.

:21:00. > :21:02.I don't see myself as disabled, I just do something alternative to

:21:03. > :21:06.everybody else. Already ranked fourth in the UK for the 1500

:21:07. > :21:14.metres, Lauren's hoping to make it to next year's Commonwealth Games

:21:15. > :21:19.and then the Paralympics. Were you lucky enough to have a

:21:20. > :21:22.teacher who inspired you at school? Someone who helped change your life?

:21:23. > :21:25.Well there's one teacher in Birmingham who's inspired hundreds

:21:26. > :21:28.of students. But when his encouragement was matched by one

:21:29. > :21:36.pupil's talent, the results were extraordinary. Cath Mackie reports.

:21:37. > :21:39.He's the inspiring music teacher. He's the inspired pupil. Both about

:21:40. > :21:53.to sign off their school careers on a high note. Peter Bridle and pupil

:21:54. > :21:56.Robbie Ruisi teamed up six years when Robbie won a music scholarship

:21:57. > :22:00.to King Edward's school in Birmingham. He is without doubt the

:22:01. > :22:05.most talented fiddle player we've ever had in this school. But Peter

:22:06. > :22:10.Bridle has a talent of his own. As a teacher. He's won a national

:22:11. > :22:13.lifetime achievement award. I gather it was their idea for some students

:22:14. > :22:18.past and present to nominate me for this award, so coming from the

:22:19. > :22:31.pupils themselves, and some of the staff, I am really quite

:22:32. > :22:36.overwhelmed. I think he is one of the best teachers I've ever had. The

:22:37. > :22:40.way he inspires people to do things like Symphony Orchestra, he runs

:22:41. > :22:45.that every week, everybody wants to do it and do it well. Maybe not for

:22:46. > :22:51.themselves but for him, because he inspires people to do so. He is just

:22:52. > :22:54.fantastic. For the third year running, Robbie has been chosen as

:22:55. > :23:01.leader of the national youth orchestra. The role of a leader

:23:02. > :23:04.generally is more kind of motivating, it's also a way of

:23:05. > :23:14.connecting with different sections of the orchestra. Robbie's hoping to

:23:15. > :23:21.go to music college. And after more than 40 years of teaching Mr Bridle

:23:22. > :23:25.retires next year. I think the word is irreplaceable. We are already

:23:26. > :23:29.scrabbling around desperately. I have been a schoolmaster for 30

:23:30. > :23:33.years, he is one of the few genius is I have come across. But there's

:23:34. > :23:44.time for a few more recitals before this golden era ends.

:23:45. > :23:48.And staying with music, a big thank you to all of those who helped make

:23:49. > :23:53.this year's Children In Need so tuneful. On Friday, the event

:23:54. > :23:56.culminated in a choir of 225 children from ten schools in

:23:57. > :24:00.Coventry and Birmingham singing in the new Library of Birmingham. It

:24:01. > :24:01.was a night when this region donated almost ?2.5 million. And if you mist

:24:02. > :24:47.the choir, here's a quick reminder. Onto the weather and warnings of

:24:48. > :25:09.plummeting temperatures. Winter has arrived early, the

:25:10. > :25:14.vocabulary is starting to change, Frost, ice and also fog. We could

:25:15. > :25:21.see some snow as well. Wednesday will be the wettest day this week,

:25:22. > :25:23.after today, there will also be a lot of dry weather on offer. This

:25:24. > :25:29.was the front that alters today's rain, constantly out of the way now,

:25:30. > :25:33.we have a ridge of high pressure behind it and at this time of year

:25:34. > :25:39.that tends to give us near perfect conditions for overnight frost. It's

:25:40. > :25:41.wet on Wednesday with this low pressure coming in from the

:25:42. > :25:44.North`West that will bring the rain with it. More so than that, it's

:25:45. > :25:51.probably the strengthening winds that will be a teacher. Back to

:25:52. > :25:57.today, we had some rain today, that was the cloud associated with it,

:25:58. > :26:00.which is now out of the way. In the last couple of hours, that has been

:26:01. > :26:06.breaking up, so it is during these hours that we will see temperatures

:26:07. > :26:13.plummet. In the countryside, down two sub zero values. Not quite cold

:26:14. > :26:16.enough for a widespread frost overnight but there will be some

:26:17. > :26:24.patchy frost. In countryside areas, definitely a widespread ground on M

:26:25. > :26:27.Frost. `` and air frost. Some cloud coming in from the Northwest, that

:26:28. > :26:35.will bring with it some snow lorries. `` flurries. Certainly damp

:26:36. > :26:41.surfaces, we could see some icy patches by the morning. Moving on,

:26:42. > :26:46.we still have this trickle of wintry flurries in from the Cheshire gap,

:26:47. > :26:50.following a line through central parts, into Coventry and

:26:51. > :26:53.Warwickshire as well. In contrast to today, it will be much prior and

:26:54. > :26:59.brighter and sunnier, with temperatures between four to seven

:27:00. > :27:04.Celsius. Tomorrow night, temperatures will fall quite early

:27:05. > :27:10.on, they will be a widespread ground frost and air frost before the rain

:27:11. > :27:13.set in. Tonight's headlines from the BBC Two internet giants are to

:27:14. > :27:16.crackdown on online searches for images of child abuse. A woman

:27:17. > :27:19.pleads guilty to murdering three men and dumping their bodies in ditches

:27:20. > :27:24.and the attempted murder of two other men in Hereford. Who murdered

:27:25. > :27:27.Maxine? Killed in the pub bombings ` now her family meet one of the

:27:28. > :27:31.Birmingham Six, once blamed for her death. And losing our countryside `

:27:32. > :27:42.fears that haphazard planning rules could become a developer's charter.

:27:43. > :27:46.That was the Midlands Today. I'll be back at ten o'clock with a report on

:27:47. > :28:02.how Twitter is helping businesses in Worcestershire win
