pollution levels will be that little bit lower. Thank you. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: The lother of | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
murdered teenager, Georgia Williams, calls for an investigation hnto why | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
her killer was only cautiondd for a previous attack. | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
It has made me really angry thinking that Georgia's death could have been | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
avoided if people had just done their jobs properly. | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
We'll be finding out what the police have to say. Also tonight: Chemists | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
at the University of Warwick develop a ground breaking new drug hn the | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
fight against cancer. A taxi driver's sacked after he | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
refused to take a guide dog in his cab. He said the dog is not coming | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
in the car and drove off and left me on the pavement. | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
at Albion after this mistakd that at Albion after this mistakd that | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
cost the Baggies two vital points. And only day two of a week hn which | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
it's warm and wet ` so alre`dy you should be getting idea of how things | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
are unfolding. But the finer details coming up later. | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
Good evening. The mother of Georgia Willi`ms | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
believes her daughter might still be alive if police had properlx | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
investigated an earlier att`ck by her killer. Lynnette Willials wants | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
a review by the Independent Police Complaints Commission. It w`s in | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
2008 that Jamie Reynolds attacked an un`named schoolgirl in Wellhngton in | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
Shropshire. He escaped with just a caution. Last May, Georgia Williams | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
was murdered after going to his home. Her body was dumped in | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
woodland near Wrexham. Reynolds was sentenced to life in Decembdr and | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
told he'll never be released. Here's Joanne Writtle. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Georgia Williams was just 17 when she was murdered but now her mother | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
has revealed more details of striking similarities with `n attack | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
on a 16`year`old. He lured the girl round on the pretext of helping him | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
out with a project. And then there was a violent attack where he | :01:55. | :02:06. | |
attempted to strangle her. Thankfully she managed to escape, | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
but it has traumatised her. It has totally changed her life. B`ck then, | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
Reynolds was arrested on suspicion of assault and given a final warning | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
by police ` a step before prosecution. As parents, we feel if | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
it had been investigated properly, we wouldn't be in this situ`tion. | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Obviously, the young girl that was attacked has put in a compl`int | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
because she feels she wasn't dealt with properly at that time. Reynolds | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
had horrifying images of other local girls. They've got superimposed | :02:35. | :02:47. | |
nooses around their necks. @s I have said, you know, I seem to bd on a | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
mission because it has made me really angry thinking that Georgia's | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
death could have been avoiddd if people had just done their jobs | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
properly. This is Georgia's older sister, Scarlet, seen with her | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
parents after Reynolds was jailed for life. Along with nearly 17, 00 | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
images and 72 videos of extreme pornography, Reynolds also had a | :03:08. | :03:16. | |
picture of Scarlet. She lost a lot of trust in people. Especially men. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
So that will take a while I think, to get back. How do you trust | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
somebody when, like she said, Georgia thought he was her late | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
This is Reynolds' home wherd he killed Georgia. Her friends | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
sometimes walked him back hdre after outings. They thought he wotld be | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
more the type to be beaten tp walking back by himself. Thdy're | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
quite scared in that they wdre taken in by him as well and thinkhng they | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
were looking after him and Georgia did exactly the same. She would | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
include him, even though people thought he was a bit strangd but | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
didn't know why. Lynette's husband struggled last year. He recdntly | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
returned to work as a detective with West Mercia Police. It is dhfficult. | :04:04. | :04:14. | |
Because Stephen loves his job. He has always been proud of thd West | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Mercia Police. We've always said, "oh no, they always do everxthing | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
properly by the book". And xou do feel like dying. As Lynette pushes | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
for an enquiry, she still grieving over Georgia. I've still got | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
Scarlet, I've still got a d`ughter. So you have to... Keep going. | :04:31. | :04:44. | |
And Joanne Writtle is with le now. Have we had any word from the police | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
and IPCC about their previots contact with Jamie Reynolds? | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
West Mercia Police told us that in January they referred the m`tter to | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
the Independent Police Complaints Commission, with the strong | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
recommendation that an investigation be carried out. But the IPCC has | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
referred it back to the force. They told told us: | :05:04. | :05:14. | |
The IPCC say after that there'll be a right to appeal. Is anythhng else | :05:15. | :05:36. | |
being done? There is a revidw going on. | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
Of course every day the famhly think about Georgia. | :05:40. | :05:55. | |
Would a greater Birmingham taking in the black country and Coventry give | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
more boost to our economy? If you're a businessman selling in | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
China, frankly, you don't know what the West Midlands is. | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
Chemists at the University of Warwick have come up with a | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
completely new type of cancdr drug completely new type of cancdr drug | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
designed to overcome drug rdsistance in some forms of the diseasd. ZL105 | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
has so far only killed cancdr cells in the lab, but scientists hope it | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
could lead to a breakthrough in new types of drug therapy in thd future. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Here's our Science Correspondent David Gregory`Kumar. | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
Slowly coming into focus under a microscope. These are ovari`n cancer | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
cells. Ovarian cancer has a particularly nasty trick, which | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
chemists at the University of Warwick are trying to overcome. So | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
these are ovarian cancer cells, this is what they have been using in the | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
lab. They're really interested in these because there is such a | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
problem with resistance in ovarian cancer. If you have ovarian cancer | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
and you relapsed, when you go back to hospital 80% of patients will | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
have developed a resistance to the chemotherapy drugs. Half of all | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
cancer treatments use Cispl`tin and resistance is a real problel. But is | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
ZL105 is a new drug designed to work in a new way and avoid the problems | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
of drug resistance. We are `iming to attack the cancer cell in m`ny | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
the cancer cell different w`ys, it the cancer cell different w`ys, it | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
will not have enough time to learn when it's happening to it and it | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
won't react. It's more diffhcult for the cancer cell to develop | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
resistance to that particul`r drug. ZL105 has only been tested hn the | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
laboratory, but we know it kills cancer cells. In this tray, cancer | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
cells have been dyed purple. The lighter the colour, the fewdr cancer | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
cells remain after treatment with various strengths of the new drug. | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
But getting a drug from lab to hospital bed is expensive and does | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
take time. I am excited, I have developed and my team has ddveloped | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
a totally new chemistry for attacking cancer cells. It hs | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
cancer cell. We need new methods and cancer cell. We need new methods and | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
new techniques for studying these drugs inside cancer cells. But we | :08:06. | :08:14. | |
must be optimistic. There is a need for new drugs in the clinic and we | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
are excited about that. It hs a totally new approach and so far | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
it's looking very promising. And for more on this discovdry, | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
including a link to the resdarch itself, David has a new blog post at | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
bbc.co.uk/davidgregorykumar. A businessman who was travelling on | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
a plane which was struck by lightning as it approached | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
Birmingham Airport says he thought the engine had blown up. Thd KLM | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
flight from Amsterdam was struck three times during a violent storm | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
last Friday afternoon. Passdngers were told after the plane h`d | :08:55. | :09:03. | |
landed. All of a sudden there was a terrific bang and a flash of light. | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
My immediate thought was thd engine has exploded. For a fraction of a | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
second you are waiting for the plane to drop. It happened so quickly and | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
because nothing happened, it turns into almost exhilaration. | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
A taxi driver's been sacked after he refused to take a blind wom`n's | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
guide dog in his cab. She w`s left stranded in Birmingham city centre | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
and says she's now frightendd of going out, in case she can't get a | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
taxi back home. Kevin Reide's been to meet her. | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
Sue Smith from Birmingham h`s been blind since suffering a brahn tumour | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
at the age of 17. She needs the help of her four`year`old guide dog Sonny | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
to get around. But last Thursday whilst out in Birmingham city centre | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
she called a cab to take her home, only for the driver to refuse | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
claiming there wasn't enough room in the back of his cab. That is when I | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
said it is illegal to refusd a guide dog in a taxi. He said, yes I do. He | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
said there was no room in the front. Then he said the dog is not coming | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
in the car, drove off and ldft me on the pavement. Sue booked her taxi | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
from TC Cabs here in Chemsldy Wood. Managers were horrified when they | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
heard what happened and havd taken decisive action against the driver. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
It is diabolical. His equiplent has been taken off him and he is no | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
longer with us. The council had been informed and hopefully they can take | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
the necessary action becausd he is self`employed who can go to any | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
company and we want to read the industry of drivers like thhs. The | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Royal National Institute of Blind People say incidents like this do | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
still happen and can lead to a feeling of isolation. It is the | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
lasting effect, it can knock their confidence and make them hesitant | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
about using taxis again. And Sue confirms she's now far more wary | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
about going out. I had lost my confidence after my last dog died. I | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
had been building it back up again, but this has knocked it. I won't | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
want to get a taxi in the ndar future. Solihull Borough Cotncil, | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
who licence drivers in Chemsley Wood, have confirmed they'rd | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
investigating. This is the top story tonight: The | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
mother of murdered teenager, Georgia Williams has called for an | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
investigation into why her killer was only cautioned for a prdvious | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
attack. The weather forecast is looking | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
good. Putting a face to a name of a | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
gallant soldier as a school marks the centenary of the war th`t cost | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
so many peoples the lines. And the owl that survived a | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
terrifying journey clinging to the front of a freight train. Wd will be | :11:54. | :12:02. | |
setting her free. Does the Midlands miss out because | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
of London's dominance and constant talk of the divide. Business leaders | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
are backing calls for the hdart of the region to read brand thd area, | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
greater Birmingham. It would take in the Black Country and Coventry and | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
give this region much more dconomic boosts. | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
Birmingham and the West Midlands, a world`class city but some s`y has an | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
image problem which has left the economy suffering. This man wants to | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
change that. The boss of John Lewis and chair of the local enterprise | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
heart the ship says branding is important `` important. I wrote a | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
piece in the Sunday Telegraph a few weeks ago which reignited this | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
debate. I was talking about Birmingham as an idea. It does not | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
have to be a restructure of local authorities, but in the | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
international promotion, I `m all in favour of it. The debate has been | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
fuelled by this book, whose author says the Midlands is unloved and | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
undervalued. I have friends who pass through the region and they said | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
they stopped off at a service station, maybe they changed a train. | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
Alas, did you look around? @nd they say no, why would I stop thdre? I | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
think branding it greater in that way and then getting hold of the | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
heritage makes people think there is something here. Rebranding some | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
parts of the West Midlands with the a bold and controversial stdp. But | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
as as happened in Greater M`nchester it would help raise the profile of | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
the area and bring in inward investment for an area that has been | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
badly affect did by the recdssion. Despite that, shopping at Dtdley | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
market, they did not think luch of the idea. Note, it is essential | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
Black Country. It is known for being the Black Country. I think Dudley is | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
very individual and the people are very individual. Individual or not, | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
this backcountry council le`der favours closer cooperation `nd the | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
formation of a regional authority. What a powerful voice it wotld be | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
for the region. It does not matter about the name, what is important is | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
this region and its leaders speak as one voice to the government. One | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
voice, one region, but what will it called? Watch this space. | :14:40. | :14:50. | |
With us now, positively simlering in opposing camp, are two guests. A | :14:51. | :15:00. | |
good idea? Not really. I agree the two halves could come together, but | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
I would not support anything, and I know a lot of the Black Country | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
residents would not support anything that created a greater Birmhngham | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
and took away the identity of the Black Country. Would it? I believe | :15:13. | :15:21. | |
they would in time. Before xou know it, it would be a single authority | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
and that would mean my council tax money would go into supporthng | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
Birmingham. I don't think it is a good idea. I don't mind being part | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
of a wider trade set up to bring more trade and business into the | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
Black Country, but anything that threatens the identity of the Black | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
Country, which is the strongest identity, in my opinion, in the | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
country. There has been quite a lot of activity on Twitter and Facebook | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
this afternoon. Everyone sedms to be against the idea, is it | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
understandable? Not if you look at what we are trying to do with the | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
economy in this part of the world. We are trying to compete globally. | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
The world is moving toward city regions. 60% of those globally live | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
in city regions. What we ard saying is, if you look at greater | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
Birmingham in the round and make the most of the black country assets, | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
the Worcestershire assets and the Coventry assets. Package thdm up and | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
go out to the world and say, look what greater Birmingham has got to | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
offer, you stand a chance of getting their interest. When you ard in | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
China and you are looking to the UK, and you see greater Birlingham, | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
together we are stronger. Isn't it time to stop being tribal? @SCII | :16:44. | :16:52. | |
Brummie. I don't think Birmhngham wants to be... Birmingham w`nts to | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
stay Birmingham, the Black Country wants to stay Black Country. Tell a | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
Brummie that they come from the Black Country, you had bettdr run. | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
The world outside does not understand that? The world outside | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
does not necessarily understand Birmingham. When I talk to | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
Americans, they don't know the Black Country. Fair enough, I don't expect | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
them to. I say we are near Birmingham. They think that is in | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
Alabama. I have dementia in Stratford`upon`Avon. It is products | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
that sells. Lynchburg in Tennessee, $120 million. Why, because ht makes | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
Jack Daniels. We are running out of time, will we see it happen? We | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
will, it is happening in Grdater Manchester, greater Sheffield, we | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
cannot afford to be left behind and together we can make this work. | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
Let's keep the identity of the Black Country strong. | :17:54. | :18:02. | |
For almost 100 years, Eric was just a name on war memorial. He was | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
killed during World War I aged just killed during World War I aged just | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
20. Details about Eric were scanned and there was no known picttres of | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
him. But now some descendants have come forward to meet pupils at his | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
old school in Worcestershird and share the story of his life. | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
In the old Hall of this school in Kidderminster, the school Eric | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
attended, the relatives heard present`day pupils reading from some | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
of his letters home from thd front. Dearest mother, it is your birthday | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
and I have been thinking about you and I have been thinking about you | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
all day. He was a special character who wrote all those letters which | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
gave a deep understanding to the students about what it was like | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
Normally history is about looking at a textbook. But then you'd can see | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
part of peoples lives. A tednager, Eric left his home and saildd to | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
Australia to become a farmer. When war broke out he joined the | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Australian Army. In order to do so, ye had to give an address in | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
Australia. When he died two years later, nobody notified his parents | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
back home here in Stourport. Among the letters, there is one from his | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
mother a month after his de`th, asking the War office for ndws of | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
him. Eric's is another heart`rending story but won the older gendration | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
is pleased to pass on to thd younger. It is up to us to help them | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
learn from the past. It is ` war that we want to remember, so that it | :19:39. | :19:47. | |
never happens as badly again. His name remains one among millhons but | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
a century on, for a while at least, he is among those again. | :19:53. | :20:01. | |
West Bromwich Albion's troubled season has taken another twhst with | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
players fighting to stay in the Premier League and fighting each | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
other. Today, the club confhrmed reports that tensions ran hhgh in | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
the dressing room on Saturd`y following a last`minute mistake | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
The game was deep into stoppage time and Albion were leading thrde Bash | :20:20. | :20:31. | |
two. Then Saido Berahino made a mistake. It led to the killdr goal | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
that denied Albion three pohnts and sparked the dressing room row that | :20:37. | :20:49. | |
led to this: It left Saido Berahino nursing a head injury. | :20:50. | :20:49. | |
Albion did not what the fans care about is further | :20:50. | :21:10. | |
evidence of the club in turloil The manager was sacked, Nicolas Anelka, | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
sacked and now team`mates fhghting. So much depends upon Premiership | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
survival to salvage this miserable season. It definitely shows there is | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
pressure and it shows to me these players care for the club. Sometimes | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
a bit of a rumble after a g`me isn't a bad thing. After the game, Saido | :21:33. | :21:40. | |
Berahino tweeted: But Albion fans recall he scored their match winner | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
at United. Where better to lake amends than doing the same `t | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
Norwich on Saturday. You may remember a couple of weeks | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
ago, we brought you the story of an owl but survived a journey of more | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
than 300 miles from Scotland clinging to the front of a freight | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
train. He locally ended up `t a wildlife park in Nuneaton. He has | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
fully recovered and now he will return to the wild. Is he all set | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
for the release? He is raring to go, wide awake and looking `round. | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
We are in woodlands near Nuneaton. Let me tell you a little bit about | :22:25. | :22:32. | |
Lucky. He is a tawny owl, one of the most common in this country. 40 | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
centimetres long and a wingspan of about a metre. They are the only | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
owls that make the noise th`t we are all used to. His journey, you may | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
remember has been a remarkable one. Lucky was perched on the tr`in in | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
next 300 miles he clung on. He was next 300 miles he clung on. He was | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
found at a depot in Northampton and was handed over here. How h`s he | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
done? He is perfect, his wing has recovered and he is 100% fit. We | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
will let him go, but there hs a small chance he may not fly and drop | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
play dead, but that is a sign of play dead, but that is a sign of | :23:24. | :23:25. | |
defence, so don't worry if that happens. Time to let him go. Off he | :23:26. | :23:36. | |
goes, why here and not Scotland He has everything he needs herd. There | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
are female tawny owl 's and he will are female tawny owl 's and he will | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
be 100% perfect here. What they are saying is, there is probablx a 5% | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
chance now that Lucky will be safe. We cannot keep tabs on him, he is a | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
wild bird but we are hoping this will be his home for many ydars to | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
come and he will be very happy here in Warwickshire. Quite a pohgnant | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
moment. It has been another beautiftl day. | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
How is it looking? It does coincide with the sdason | :24:09. | :24:17. | |
that we have the temperaturds will do well. The temperatures are good | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
this week, but we have rain always lurking in the background. But it | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
comes in the form of showers, so we will always get some sunshine in | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
between. It is quite warm, temperatures are rising. Whdther we | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
get days like today depends on the timing of the showers and today we | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
were fortunate in that showdrs held off until now. This is what is | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
heading our way. His warm sdctor heading up from the south and it | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
will clip the western part of the country. It is always benefhcial to | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
temperatures tonight and tolorrow. We also have the South East wind | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
doing most of the work on that front. It is clouding over now and | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
we will start to see showers bubbling up all over the pl`ce. They | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
will last for much of the nhght In between there will be cloud and | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
missed developing into the darly hours. Look at those temper`tures, | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
just into double figures. Nhne Celsius perhaps in Hereford. For the | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
morning, showers confine thdmselves to the western half of the region, | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
so still wet here. For the rest of the region it should be dry, a good | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
deal of sunshine. Highs of 06. The headlines: A botched | :25:40. | :25:46. | |

All across the country, millions of families are waking up to a Britain | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
in which they find it harder to get on. Whilst the Government keeps | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
telling people everything is fixed, many are finding that hard work no | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
longer stops the pound in their pocket getting smaller, or the bills | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
getting harder to afford. Under David Cameron, gas and electricity | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
bills have increased by more than ?300 for an average family, whilst | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
the energy companies are making huge profits. Meanwhile, childcare, not a | :27:04. | :27:12. | |
luxury but an essential for millions of working families, gets harder to | :27:13. | :27:14. | |
