with the latest news at 10.10. Now on BBC One, time for | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Good afternoon. A month aftdr the floods began in Worcester, | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
businesses affected say thex need money from grants and hand`outs as | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
soon as possible to help thdm survive. This week, Worcestdrshire | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
County Council announced ?200,0 0 had been made available to help | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
companies who lost trade. Bdn Sidwell reports. | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
The water may have long gond, but the damage it caused is still very | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
much evident at the Severn View hotel in Worcester. Here, they had | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
to shut for two and half wedks due to the floods. I can't give you an | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
exact figure but, I mean, it's thousands and thousands. Enough to | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
cause real hardship for me `nd my business partner. As well as money | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
promised from the Government, the hotel's owners could also now | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
receive up to ?3000 from Worcestershire County Counchl. When | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
we get it, it will give gre`t help. But it's just, like I said, can I | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
survive until that point? Wd'll be looking to turn those applications | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
round as quick as possible because we absolutely understand th`t | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
businesses need that help now to help them deal with the immddiate | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
clean`up and recovery effort. Thank you. But it's not just the | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
businesses that were flooded who suffered. Take this restaur`nt, for | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
instance. Because of road closures, they lost more than two thirds of | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
their trade over two weeks. These photos taken during the height of | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
the floods show just how bad things were around Detroit's restatrant | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
compared to now. We were hugely affected because we had to lay off a | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
lot of members of staff. On a busy night, we do at least 180 covers. | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
That week, I would say, not more than 20. The County Council says | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
businesses like this, that were affected but not actually flooded, | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
could still receive up to ?0500 But unless some get the money soon, the | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
fear is they may not still be trading when it eventually `rrives. | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
Relatives of some of the 21 people killed in the 1974 Birmingh`m pub | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
bombings have been demonstr`ting outside Downing Street this morning. | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
It's over the so`called amndsty letters. The Government admhtted | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
that as many as 200 former HRA suspects were told they wouldn't be | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
prosecuted for past crimes `s part of the Northern Ireland peace | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
process. Brian Hambleton's sister Maxine died in the pub bombhngs and | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
he says they want her killers to brought to justice. | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
Our only weapon against the authorities is our voice. And we | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
will continue, whatever brick walls and barriers and doors are put up in | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
front of us as a campaign, we will have to try and walk through them or | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
demolish them because I will not give up till I die. | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
Fans protesting against the current owners of Birmingham City Football | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
Club have unveiled a banner at today's match. They unfurled the | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
flag during the sixth minutd of the game, as the number six means wealth | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
in Cantonese. It follows thd sentencing of former owner Carson | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
Yeung to jail for money laundering. Only one football result to bring | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
you so far today, as the other matches are still being plaxed. In | :03:08. | :03:10. | |

Here's Sara Blizzard with your weather. | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
Good evening. Well, at times, the cloud did not always want to leave | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
us as we headed through the afternoon but it is starting to | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
clear a little bit more now through the evening. And the wind is easing | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
down as well `just enough, H think, across parts of Herefordshire and | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Worcestershire to see a little bit of mist developing into the early | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
hours. But tomorrow will be a fine, dry day once again. We start off | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
with a bit more sunshine tolorrow. The wind will be slightly lhghter as | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
well. The sunshine through the early part of the morning will help | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
temperatures, too. A maximul tomorrow afternoon of 16 Celsius. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
BBC Midlands Today is back tomorrow just after six in the evening. Bye | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
for now. Most of us have enjoyed a fine and | :03:59. | :04:14. | |
dry start to the weekend. But all of us had the sunshine and a range of | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
cloud conditions across the UK. There was a lot of cloud across | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Northern Ireland and Scotland to start the day. Some of it has | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
remained through parts of the Midlands and northern England, so | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
just hazy sunshine here. Temperatures in Glasgow are normal | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
for the time of year. The winds are very just the for the Six Nations | :04:42. | :04:55. | |
match. -- they are very dusty. Some patchy drizzle to the west of Wales. | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
For the rest of England and Wales, mainly clear skies, but a patchy fog | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
towards the south-west later overnight. Temperatures hold up | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
above frost level in the breeze but it will still feel fairly chilly. | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
Tomorrow, the cloud stays with us in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Pat | :05:15. | :05:16. |
