:00:00. > :00:11.Welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines: A unique opportunity to
:00:12. > :00:16.rebalance the economy, says the new boss of the HS2. Business is too
:00:17. > :00:21.concentrated in London. It must be distributed to the north.
:00:22. > :00:26.But oents say that high`speed rail link will only benefit the cities.
:00:27. > :00:31.Also: Tackling youth unemployment, military style. Helping young people
:00:32. > :00:36.to find work. A possible solution to bed`blocking.
:00:37. > :00:41.A recovery for the frail and elderly. That looks nothing like a
:00:42. > :00:48.hospital. 348 days to Christmas but filming is under way for Nativity 3.
:00:49. > :00:52.Starring Martin Clunes and Katherine Tate.
:00:53. > :00:55.It has been such fun. A lot of laughs. And flying by the seat of
:00:56. > :01:01.your pants. And a dry day with sunshine to boot,
:01:02. > :01:15.but is it too good to last? Your full weekend forecast, coming up.
:01:16. > :01:21.Good evening. The man charged with overseeing the HS2 claim it is will
:01:22. > :01:24.spread prosperity away from London to the Midlands and beyond. Sir
:01:25. > :01:29.David Higgins says that Birmingham could be the venue for a new
:01:30. > :01:35.engineering college to boost jobs and skills, but those living along
:01:36. > :01:40.the route says that prosperity for others will mean ruin for them.
:01:41. > :01:43.He is the Australian who delivered the 2012 Olympics. The next
:01:44. > :01:48.challenge for Sir David Higgins, delivering the ?43 high`speed rail
:01:49. > :01:52.link. He was in Birmingham, among friends. The leaders of big cities
:01:53. > :01:56.like Birmingham, Sheffield and Manchester, who agree with him that
:01:57. > :02:01.prosperity in the south`east will travel to the north up the HS2.
:02:02. > :02:05.Business is too concentrated in London. You have todies bute it to
:02:06. > :02:11.the north. So when we have less than 40 minutes from BRUM International
:02:12. > :02:16.to York, those connections will transform how this, not only relates
:02:17. > :02:19.to London but transform how the north talks to each other.
:02:20. > :02:30.A college to train the eng niece that build the line could be here at
:02:31. > :02:38.Washward Heath. Have a look at France and Germany.
:02:39. > :02:43.Look at what happened when HS2 was introduced there. A network of the
:02:44. > :02:47.lines in Germany and France. It helped to balance the economy. It
:02:48. > :02:52.will happen in England. It is here that high`speed rail link
:02:53. > :02:57.will arrive in Birmingham city centre but should we be looking at
:02:58. > :03:03.this as less of a gateway, more of a bridge, spanning a north/south
:03:04. > :03:07.divide? Not according to this opponent of high`speed rail link.
:03:08. > :03:10.The line would run within yards of his home, slashing its value in a
:03:11. > :03:14.stroke. I think that the business will still
:03:15. > :03:19.go to London. Creating more wealth. I accept that some cities will gain
:03:20. > :03:22.a little, but the areas such as staffed and Stoke`on`Trent are
:03:23. > :03:27.looking to lose. What of the towns rather than the
:03:28. > :03:32.big cities? In staffed, they are far from convinced? There is a fear that
:03:33. > :03:35.these areas will lose out as a consequence of high`speed rail link.
:03:36. > :03:42.Investment going to Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, maybe at the
:03:43. > :03:46.expense of Stafford. The bill to build high`speed rail
:03:47. > :03:50.link is still to clear Parliament, but with its Olympic background, Sir
:03:51. > :03:57.David Higgins understands, that this is a marathon, not a sprint. Lots
:03:58. > :04:02.more ahead including the Black Country group that forged theet call
:04:03. > :04:08.careers for 30 years is under threat of closure as the funding is cut.
:04:09. > :04:11.A couple who have been arrested by West Midlands Police, investigating
:04:12. > :04:16.the death of their baby daughter in Wolverhampton. The child died at the
:04:17. > :04:25.city's New Cross Hospital. Our reporter is interest for us.
:04:26. > :04:32.`` our reporter is there for us. This involved a nine`month`old baby
:04:33. > :04:37.girl. She, sadly, died here. Her parents, a 35`year`old woman and a
:04:38. > :04:40.32`year`old man, both from Wolverhampton, were questioned by
:04:41. > :04:43.the detectives in Wolverhampton. While they were interviewed they
:04:44. > :04:48.were arrested on suspicion of her murder. They have since been
:04:49. > :04:51.released on police bail, pending enquiries, we don't yet know the
:04:52. > :04:56.baby's identity. Ben is there information surrounding
:04:57. > :05:01.the cause of the death? It is an early stage at the inquiry. We know
:05:02. > :05:04.that there has been a postmortem examination but it has not yet
:05:05. > :05:07.determined the exact cause of death. More tests will be conducted.
:05:08. > :05:13.Speaking to the authorities today, I was told that the family, that this
:05:14. > :05:15.baby, it was not known to the Social Services. However, when there is a
:05:16. > :05:19.child death in the city like there has been here it is up to the
:05:20. > :05:22.safeguarding children's board to determine the cause of death
:05:23. > :05:28.themselves and to decide if there should be a Serious Case Review.
:05:29. > :05:31.That is if one or a number of agencies may have been involved with
:05:32. > :05:35.the family in the lead up to a death. So in the early stages of the
:05:36. > :05:40.investigation we will know more. A supermarket chain launched an
:05:41. > :05:45.investigation after a video emerged allegedly showing a cashier racially
:05:46. > :05:52.abusing a Muslim customer. Footage was posted on the internet after an
:05:53. > :05:58.argument at a store in Birmingham. Are you having a bad day? This was
:05:59. > :06:04.the moment when an altercation between a customer and a cashier got
:06:05. > :06:09.out of hand. A member of the public began filming the argument between
:06:10. > :06:16.the man and the woman. The woman of Asian appearance, allegedly shouted:
:06:17. > :06:23.Go on, you Muslim, dime. The video was shot here in Borstal Heath,
:06:24. > :06:28.Birmingham. The police are concerned and are looking into the stishg
:06:29. > :06:33.stances. The company here expect a high level of customer service from
:06:34. > :06:38.the staff. They are disappointed by what appears to be shown in the
:06:39. > :06:44.video. They also say that they do not condone such behaviour.
:06:45. > :06:51.Lidl add that they apologise to anyone who has been offended or
:06:52. > :06:55.upset by the case. Lidl has launched its own investigation. The customers
:06:56. > :06:59.at the store are mainly Muslim. Three local men told me they were
:07:00. > :07:04.astonished by the video. I have been shopping there for a
:07:05. > :07:10.lodge time now. I have never had such a complaint or anyone come up
:07:11. > :07:14.to me to be abusive. Nothing. It is nothing to do with the religion.
:07:15. > :07:17.Probably had a bad day. Started arguing, then something happened
:07:18. > :07:20.after that. So, it is basically, she had a hard day.
:07:21. > :07:30.The argument between the two people who have not been named apparently
:07:31. > :07:35.began over plastic shopping bags. A group which helped young people
:07:36. > :07:40.forge theatrical careers over 30 years is facing closure after the
:07:41. > :07:48.council that helped to pay for it announced plan to axe the funding.
:07:49. > :07:54.The City Council is facing cuts of ?123 million. And it say it is can
:07:55. > :07:59.no long afford to subsidise it. Three years ago this was the UK's
:08:00. > :08:05.only youth theatre to be awarded a grant of ?100,000, ahead of the
:08:06. > :08:12.London Games, but today, Wolverhampton Central Youth Theatre
:08:13. > :08:20.is facing the loss of its ?13,000 council grant.
:08:21. > :08:24.We raised up to ?22,000. We have created employment opportunities for
:08:25. > :08:27.young people. Training and apprenticeships, which is so
:08:28. > :08:32.important at this point when young people are out of work. I would not
:08:33. > :08:36.want to run a group that is not successful for young people. That is
:08:37. > :08:40.my life's work. These former members have gone on to
:08:41. > :08:43.work in the industry as writers and directors.
:08:44. > :08:49.We literally put Wolverhampton on the map across Europe. There were
:08:50. > :08:54.boards when we were at a theatre festival in Austria. Without the
:08:55. > :08:57.impact that the youth theatre had on my life, I can't imagine what I
:08:58. > :09:02.would be doing now. In the face of ?123 million in
:09:03. > :09:06.council cuts, one councillor told us there was little choice.
:09:07. > :09:11.The Government's funding cuts are driving us to make some of the most
:09:12. > :09:15.difficult and unpalatable decisions we have had to make.
:09:16. > :09:24.This group in Birmingham is inventive when it comes to funding.
:09:25. > :09:27.Stage 2 has been going for at that years.
:09:28. > :09:33.Charitable trusts give us grants, but when putting on a play, one time
:09:34. > :09:36.we needed lots of toilet paper for a riot scene, we asked a company for
:09:37. > :09:40.them instead. Back in Wolverhampton, people urged
:09:41. > :09:44.councillors to rethink. That's the biggest investment you
:09:45. > :09:48.can make, really, into investing into the young people, they are the
:09:49. > :09:51.future society for Wolverhampton at the end of the day. They will grow
:09:52. > :09:55.up and do something great. Of course I care about it. It is important for
:09:56. > :10:00.our children, for the teenagers. Anything to help them, to help bring
:10:01. > :10:03.them forward in the future for a better life, of course it is
:10:04. > :10:08.important. Last year the Central Youth Theatre
:10:09. > :10:11.travelled to Monaco. They say without public funding to match
:10:12. > :10:18.other funds that they raise, their future is bleak.
:10:19. > :10:22.There has been more criticism of the controversial Channel 4 documentary,
:10:23. > :10:27.Benefits Street. The series, filmed in the Winston Green area of
:10:28. > :10:33.Birmingham has been condemned for its portrayal of benefit claimants.
:10:34. > :10:38.There is a lot of political debate around this programme? There was
:10:39. > :10:43.indeed. Yes, our MPs on the Sunday Politics were keen to talk about the
:10:44. > :10:46.residents of James Turner Street you don't see. And they were critical of
:10:47. > :10:51.Channel 4. I feel sorry for the other people
:10:52. > :10:55.living there. They are hard`working people, that have to live in an
:10:56. > :10:59.environment where there are obviously people living off the
:11:00. > :11:06.state, and not having any intention of getting to work.
:11:07. > :11:10.The film people, preparing to go shoplifting, that is outrageous and
:11:11. > :11:14.not responsible broadcasting. David, so much comment has been on
:11:15. > :11:20.social media. A well`known figure on Twitter has been wading in? This is
:11:21. > :11:23.controversial indeed. Joey Barton has been playing in the Premier
:11:24. > :11:30.League with Manchester City, Newcastle. He plays for QPR, but he
:11:31. > :11:34.is a big name on Twitter with 2.4 million followers. This is what he
:11:35. > :11:41.said as episode two of this programme was aired: Strong evidence
:11:42. > :11:47.to support the breeding licence theory. And he said that the council
:11:48. > :11:55.were expected to support them. We put his views on the Facebook
:11:56. > :11:58.page, fair to say, not a lot who polarise his opinion.
:11:59. > :12:26.This woman said: So, it is clear Benefits Street has
:12:27. > :12:32.sparked a major debate. There is more at am Sunday morning.
:12:33. > :12:38.The army has been running a training scheme in Stoke`on`Trent aimed at
:12:39. > :12:42.tackling high youth unemployment. Of the seven in the training, five have
:12:43. > :12:47.been offered work. One is in the process of joining the Reserves. It
:12:48. > :12:51.is hoped that the four`week course could be launched across the
:12:52. > :12:58.country. Craig Taylor had not worked for more than a year. The door
:12:59. > :13:02.opened for him in Stoke`on`Trent, after proving himself during a
:13:03. > :13:05.week's work experience. It was organised through a pilot army
:13:06. > :13:11.reserve scheme. I would recommended it. Without the
:13:12. > :13:14.course I would still be on jobseeker's allowance.
:13:15. > :13:20.They are keen to get back into the workplace. That showed enough with
:13:21. > :13:24.the time keeping aspect and how they aplayed themselves to the jobs that
:13:25. > :13:31.they were given. The army s Midlands Spear Project
:13:32. > :13:37.was launched in October. During four weeks, recruits were taught
:13:38. > :13:41.communication, team building and ememployability skills. The aim to
:13:42. > :13:47.tackle unemployment in the area and recruit for the Reserves.
:13:48. > :13:51.We gave them the tools to believe in themselves, to motivate and to make
:13:52. > :13:55.better of themselves. People want to gain employment immediately. I
:13:56. > :14:00.understand that and get that but sometimes you have to go that little
:14:01. > :14:04.bit further, especially in a competitive market.
:14:05. > :14:08.Shaun had not worked for 18 months. He admits he had lost his
:14:09. > :14:11.confidence. He is grateful for the opportunity.
:14:12. > :14:19.I was stressing out as I could not find a job. It was very hard.
:14:20. > :14:25.Thankfully, the course got me the job! Out of seven candidates on the
:14:26. > :14:30.first course, five people have been given jobs. There is a potential for
:14:31. > :14:45.a further 20 to gain employment on a second course in March.
:14:46. > :14:50.It is time for the headlines: A unique opportunity to balance the
:14:51. > :14:57.economy, says the boss of the HS2. The weather and also ahead:
:14:58. > :15:02.Three`and`a`half minutes... If you ever truly think. It could change
:15:03. > :15:07.her life. Lucy May prepares for the final of Open Mic UK. And just
:15:08. > :15:18.finished off the Christmas cake? We bring a taster of a nativity film to
:15:19. > :15:23.hit the big screen later this year. Now every year many people are
:15:24. > :15:30.discharged from hospital to be re`admitted as they were not ready
:15:31. > :15:37.to go home. Esther Rantzen has opened a new ward run by a hospital
:15:38. > :15:44.Trust and housing Association it is hoped to prevent bed`blocking around
:15:45. > :15:46.the country. Great`grandmother Irene from
:15:47. > :15:50.Birmingham ended up in hospital after a fall. Instead of being
:15:51. > :15:55.discharged she has come to what the staff here are calling a
:15:56. > :15:57.reenablement ward. Helping her to regain confidence and preparing for
:15:58. > :16:02.going home. It has been fabulous. It has.
:16:03. > :16:07.Nothing's too much trouble for the people at that work here. I have
:16:08. > :16:13.loved every minute of it. Loved efr minute. I don't want to go home,
:16:14. > :16:18.really! The converted ward is at the Good Hope Hospital. It caters for 29
:16:19. > :16:23.ex`patients. They have their own living space and can interact with
:16:24. > :16:28.others. It is cheaper than keeping people in hospital beds.
:16:29. > :16:32.People are frail after an episode of pneumonia or illness. We can offer
:16:33. > :16:36.something that is a transition. We can be more comfortable as can the
:16:37. > :16:40.patient that they will be able to cope with they get home.
:16:41. > :16:44.The centre even has its own garden. When the weather is warmer, the
:16:45. > :16:48.patients are encouraged to come outside, maybe have a barbecue, or
:16:49. > :16:53.plant some flowers. Today, a champion for the elderly, Esther
:16:54. > :16:56.Rantzen, opened the facility. She wants all hospitals to adopt the
:16:57. > :17:01.same approach. It is a different culture here. It
:17:02. > :17:06.is not the clinical staff helping people but the care staff. There is
:17:07. > :17:11.a carpet instead of linow and curtains on the windows and pictures
:17:12. > :17:14.on the wall. It is a domestic steting `` setting. That is
:17:15. > :17:19.difficult for the hospitals to adjust their brains to.
:17:20. > :17:23.The ward is jointly run by a housing Association. It has witnessed many
:17:24. > :17:27.tennants going back and forth to hospital. It was anxious to stop the
:17:28. > :17:34.growing trend. We have practical things, a variety
:17:35. > :17:37.of surfaces, carpets, wood, so that people can get used to using walking
:17:38. > :17:41.aids. It is a venture improving an
:17:42. > :17:48.important stepping stone for many on the road to resuming normal life.
:17:49. > :17:54.To sport and villa fans are hoping to see two new faces tomorrow. Good
:17:55. > :18:02.evening. A place in the starting line`up for Ryan Bertrand. He is
:18:03. > :18:09.from Chelsea. And the important away game to Liverpool. And Halt has
:18:10. > :18:15.arrived. And Paul Lambert will try to end a disappointing run.
:18:16. > :18:19.Ryan Bertrand has played once in the Premier League for Chelsea. So Jose
:18:20. > :18:25.Mourinho believes he will benefit from playing regular first`team
:18:26. > :18:30.football with Aston Villa on loan until the end of the season.
:18:31. > :18:35.It is a fantastic option to come to this club. A massive history and
:18:36. > :18:41.great fan base. To play a few games here will be a good step.
:18:42. > :18:47.Ryan is 24, but in the words of Paul Lambert, he has the big game
:18:48. > :18:51.experience. Last season helping chepz to win the Europa League, the
:18:52. > :18:58.year before, the champions league. Now is different challenge in the
:18:59. > :19:02.Premier League, bu as Villa are only five points clear of relegation.
:19:03. > :19:08.What a debut for him, Liverpool away? Liverpool away... Yeah, well,
:19:09. > :19:14.I don't envy him to be honest with you! I wish him all the best. I am
:19:15. > :19:24.holding we can hold up for a draw, but it does not look so good.
:19:25. > :19:30.Villa's other loan signing, Grant Halt has scored well previously.
:19:31. > :19:35.The onus is for them to come out and beat us. We have a game plan. If we
:19:36. > :19:40.stick it, we should be difficult to beat.
:19:41. > :19:46.The Villa boys, could hardly wish for a more challenging debut.
:19:47. > :19:51.And interesting with Stoke City, the head`to`head with Tony Pulis and I
:19:52. > :19:55.understand that there is news on the ownership of Birmingham City? Yes,
:19:56. > :20:01.they are having talks with an unnamed third party about possibly
:20:02. > :20:05.selling 24% of the Football Club. Recently Younger said he was not
:20:06. > :20:13.keen on selling up completely. Now it seems that much`needed investment
:20:14. > :20:21.could be coming to St Andrew's. And Brentford, and no game for the
:20:22. > :20:26.Wolves, the pitch is water`logged. Now a few months ago, Lucy May from
:20:27. > :20:31.Redditch was at university finishing her degree. Tomorrow she is to take
:20:32. > :20:38.the stage at the NEC in the final of the Open Mic UK. One of the
:20:39. > :20:41.country's biggest competitions, having beaten thousands of singers
:20:42. > :20:49.along the way. # If you ever truly think... It is
:20:50. > :20:54.three`and`a`half minutes that could change Lucy's life forever. Having
:20:55. > :21:02.seen off 8,000 people already, just 25 now stand between the 21`year`old
:21:03. > :21:07.from Redditch and the title of Open Mic UK, winner.
:21:08. > :21:11.It is a big deal. To win would be just ridiculous! I can't explain how
:21:12. > :21:17.amazing that would be! We would love to be able to see her name up there.
:21:18. > :21:24.Getting something at the end of it. # You only need the light when its
:21:25. > :21:36.burning low... With so much at stake, the choice of song is vital.
:21:37. > :21:40.Lucy's decision, Let It Go. You have to hit the audience with
:21:41. > :21:45.what you are doing. Previously held in London, the
:21:46. > :21:50.finals have been moved to the NEC in Birmingham. Although it does not
:21:51. > :21:59.have the professional of X Factor, Open Mic has been a help for a
:22:00. > :22:03.number of artists. Like Birdie. And Germane. They have
:22:04. > :22:09.both had top ten albums. This is a talent rather than a
:22:10. > :22:16.sub`story. I'm sure I could rustle up a sob story but I don't have one.
:22:17. > :22:20.I'm not about the story, I'm about the music. I want to be recognised
:22:21. > :22:26.as an artist. Lucy has been asked to be a part of
:22:27. > :22:30.a charity single, and hopes, win or lose, that someone watching
:22:31. > :22:37.tomorrow, will be able to give her the chance to fulfil her dream.
:22:38. > :22:43.Now, a donkey, Katherine Tate and Martin Clunes. A few of the cast
:22:44. > :22:58.members who have started working on the third stallment of Nativity.
:22:59. > :23:02.The film is back and the cameras are rolling in Leamington Spa.
:23:03. > :23:05.It is meant to be mid`town Manhattan. The bride is Katherine
:23:06. > :23:10.Tate. I am playing Sophie. She is torn
:23:11. > :23:13.between two lovers. Basically. You may recognise one of the men at
:23:14. > :23:18.the alter. I am kicked in the head by the
:23:19. > :23:24.donkey early on. I lose all of my memory.
:23:25. > :23:30.Welcome to the mad cap world of the Nativity films. If you saw the
:23:31. > :23:36.first, you know it was about the children of a school competing for
:23:37. > :23:41.the best Christmas play. So what is the theme this time? It is flash
:23:42. > :23:45.mobbing, baby. That is basically singing and dancing and surprising
:23:46. > :23:50.people in public spaces. For the covery`based director, it is
:23:51. > :23:55.a family affair. Her mum, dad, sister and daughter are . Her
:23:56. > :23:59.husband Nick, has co written the music with her. Of course, there are
:24:00. > :24:03.no scripts. This is an improvised film.
:24:04. > :24:09.From the spur of your moment, you are thinking on your feet. Trying to
:24:10. > :24:14.think of something to say. I prefer it, I don't prefer it, I don't hate
:24:15. > :24:21.it as much as I thought I would. There are familiar faces, Archie the
:24:22. > :24:25.donkey. It is him that has given the film its title, Nativity 3: Dude,
:24:26. > :24:31.Where's My Donkey? . At Christmas time you want to feelgood. That
:24:32. > :24:35.human beings are really nice people, that there is hope.
:24:36. > :24:38.For this choir for Coventry, University it is the chance of a
:24:39. > :24:43.lifetime. I have seen a few celebrities so
:24:44. > :24:47.far. I am taking it as I go. Enjoying the fact I am here with the
:24:48. > :24:54.choir and stuff. Yeah. During the course of filming they
:24:55. > :24:59.flash mob everywhere from the Empire State Building in New York to the
:25:00. > :25:04.live, but who marries who? Does Mr Shephard get his girl? All I can
:25:05. > :25:11.tell you is that I am currently at the alter with another man...
:25:12. > :25:16.Actors, they never give much away! That looks like great fun. Now, what
:25:17. > :25:20.is the chance of a little bit of dry weather over the weekend? Rebecca is
:25:21. > :25:28.here with the forecast. It could be possible but no sooner
:25:29. > :25:34.does it dry out than things get wet once again.
:25:35. > :25:39.It has been glorious, we have seen some wonderful scenes like this
:25:40. > :25:42.picture from James Roberts. But I don't think it will surprise
:25:43. > :25:49.you to know that so far in January, we have seen a I above average
:25:50. > :25:52.rainfall. The temperatures have been two
:25:53. > :25:56.degrees above where we expect them to be for the time of year. It is a
:25:57. > :26:01.return to form through the weekend. More rain to come on Saturday. By
:26:02. > :26:07.Sunday it starts to change a little. Colder. We may see the sun at times.
:26:08. > :26:11.Tonight it has been a largely dry end to the day. Still some rain.
:26:12. > :26:16.Clear spells to come. In the clear spells there is mist and fog patches
:26:17. > :26:20.developing, but not sticking around too long. The rain moves up from the
:26:21. > :26:24.south. The cloud and the rain to lift the temperatures a little
:26:25. > :26:28.tomorrow morning. So not so cold a start. The rain does not go anywhere
:26:29. > :26:34.through the day. Heavy pulses in the morning. A brief lull with dry
:26:35. > :26:38.spells and the rain to make its way back through after the lunch time.
:26:39. > :26:43.Temperatures similar to today. Ranging between 8 to 10 Celsius. The
:26:44. > :26:47.winds are stronger. More rain to come through the night it does not
:26:48. > :26:52.go anywhere. By midnight it moves to the north. Behind that, the skies
:26:53. > :26:56.will clear. The wind direction changes to a south`easterly. So it
:26:57. > :27:02.gets colder. The wind is dropping out. We get widespread frost and fog
:27:03. > :27:06.patches and icy stretches through Sunday morning. A cold start, the
:27:07. > :27:11.freezing fog will be difficult to lift. So a cold winter's day to come
:27:12. > :27:16.on Sunday. In the east we could get patches of sunshine in the day. On
:27:17. > :27:20.Monday it will be a cold winter day but guess what, the rain is back by
:27:21. > :27:25.Tuesday. What a surprise. The headlines: The
:27:26. > :27:29.hunt for the missing three`year`old in Edinburgh, the police say there
:27:30. > :27:38.was a potential sighting of the little boy. A opportunity to
:27:39. > :27:44.rebalance the economy says the boss of high`speed rail link.
:27:45. > :27:47.That was the news from Midlands Today. Have a good evening. Goodbye
:27:48. > :27:48.for now.
