came home to a comfy stable in Worcestershire today after `

:00:19.:00:21.

thrilling ride that left thd 25 to one outsider five lengths ahead at

:00:22.:00:24.

the finish line. The rank ottsider Pineau De Re is one of only 12

:00:25.:00:28.

horses trained by the former Birmingham GP. Carole Foster

local villagers delighted bx his win. The 11`year`old came ott of the

:00:39.:00:43.

blue and stormed home to win the Grand National. A dream comd true

:00:44.:00:48.

for his trainer who used to be a GP in Birmingham. He obviously knew

:00:49.:00:52.

just what to prescribe to gdt himself a winner. It's amazhng isn't

:00:53.:00:57.

it? You couldn't possibly dream this. I was a bit... I was hopeful

:00:58.:01:07.

the horse could run a reallx big race and I thought he could go close

:01:08.:01:10.

but I didn't expect this kind of reaction afterwards. So manx family

:01:11.:01:13.

and friends and I daren't even look at my mobile phone, I've got 30

:01:14.:01:17.

unanswered text messages and so on. So exciting. We are still lhving in

:01:18.:01:22.

the dream. It's a fantastic feeling. I think anyone involved in racing

:01:23.:01:26.

would love to be here at thhs moment in time. It's wonderful. Thd stable

:01:27.:01:29.

hands left behind could onlx watch on TV. 17`year`old Charlie Hammond

:01:30.:01:33.

rides him every day but frol now on he'll be riding the winner of the

:01:34.:01:36.

National. It will change how I think about him, he's always felt like a

:01:37.:01:40.

real nice horse, quality. Btt you never think it'll happen to your

:01:41.:01:43.

yard do you? You never think you will get that lucky, but we have.

:01:44.:01:49.

For friends the win was a joy. I was crying from about six fences. Then

:01:50.:01:51.

it was... He's alive, it's fine We were just hysterical. The whole of

:01:52.:01:55.

Worcester had money on the horse thanks to Fliss' wonderful tips 30

:01:56.:01:58.

fences over four miles. Somd of them six feet high and a lung`busting

:01:59.:02:03.

gallop to the end. So it's no wonder Pineau De Re is happy to be home.

:02:04.:02:07.

But there's one thing he re`lly needs now is rest and a get`way from

:02:08.:02:10.

that Doctor, we've got exactly the right thing. Take one of thdse a day

:02:11.:02:15.

and put your feet up. Well, at least your hooves.

:02:16.:02:23.

The award`winning comedian, Omid Jallili, is in Hereford plaxing two

:02:24.:02:26.

sell`out shows to raise mondy to save the city's football cltb. Fans

:02:27.:02:29.

of non`league Hereford Unitdd asked for his help to settle a tax bill of

:02:30.:02:35.

?78,000 and avert a winding up order which is threatening the cltb's

:02:36.:02:40.

existence. Giles Latcham reports. Omid Jallili arrived in style,

:02:41.:02:43.

chauffeur driven from London at the expense of a Hereford taxi firm His

:02:44.:02:46.

mission? Pure and simple ` to save Hereford United. Thank you dver so

:02:47.:02:53.

much for coming. My pleasurd. I just hope I'm funny! No connection to

:02:54.:02:57.

Hereford at all. So for him to do that for us, we can't say more than

:02:58.:03:02.

that. Absolutely brilliant. Please will you welcome the man who put the

:03:03.:03:06.

FAT into FATWA. Star of stand`up on screen and stage, he loves his

:03:07.:03:09.

football. He's a fan of Preliership giants Chelsea. But when he got to

:03:10.:03:14.

hear of Hereford's battle to pay the tax man, he stepped in to hdlp one

:03:15.:03:18.

of the game's minnows, offering to play two shows at the Courtxard

:03:19.:03:21.

Theatre, all proceeds going to the club. Hopefully I will look back at

:03:22.:03:25.

this time and laugh and think the club is fine. Because as Woody Allen

:03:26.:03:30.

says, "comedy is tragedy plts time". You need some time after an event to

:03:31.:03:35.

be able to laugh. Mind you, Woody Allen also said, "I know I raised

:03:36.:03:38.

you as my daughter, but would you marry me"? So don't take evdrything

:03:39.:03:43.

he says as Bible. On the fidld, defeats to Grimsby last weekend and

:03:44.:03:46.

to Woking this, mean Hereford are perched precariously just above the

:03:47.:03:49.

relegation zone. Off it thotgh, there is now hope. The club's

:03:50.:03:54.

confident the High Court will delay the winding up order and th`t by the

:03:55.:03:59.

end of the week they will bd able to pay the ?78,000 bill. Omid has been

:04:00.:04:05.

absolutely fantastic. He has decided to come and do a gig, totally for

:04:06.:04:10.

free. When that sold out, hd said, "I'll do another one". The story of

:04:11.:04:13.

Hereford United's season has been no laughing matter. But Omid J`llili

:04:14.:04:18.

has put a smile on people's faces today and more importantly put

:04:19.:04:21.

thousands of pounds in their coffers.

:04:22.:04:28.

A senior business leader in the West Midlands has warned employers

:04:29.:04:30.

against giving out too many zero`hour contracts. The Ch`irman of

:04:31.:04:33.

the Institute of Directors believes casual contracts that don't

:04:34.:04:36.

guarantee work should only be used in the short`term. Speaking on

:04:37.:04:40.

Sunday Politics, Jason Wouhra, who runs East End Foods said crdating

:04:41.:04:43.

permanent jobs is crucial for the economy.

:04:44.:04:47.

A good employer will definitely go for a permanent position because

:04:48.:04:50.

that improves the motivation, the security of their employees and as a

:04:51.:04:53.

consequence, they're output. We are in wholesale retail. For us, we

:04:54.:04:58.

don't use them at East End Foods. However if you go into the

:04:59.:05:00.

hospitality industry, hotelhers catering they require that

:05:01.:05:01.

flexibility. Good evening. We are going to see

:05:02.:05:19.

tonight turned very wet indded but for now at least as we go through

:05:20.:05:23.

the next few hours it is largely dry. Quite cloudy still but then as

:05:24.:05:27.

we get into the early hours, here comes all this rain and it hs going

:05:28.:05:30.

to turn quite heavy, partictlarly across Herefordshire,

:05:31.:05:31.

Worcestershire, Gloucestershire where we will see some intense

:05:32.:05:35.

rainfall in the early part of Monday morning. Look at that through rush

:05:36.:05:39.

hour as well, it's not going to be pleasant. As we get into thd

:05:40.:05:42.

afternoon it starts to break down into showers and by the end of the

:05:43.:05:47.

day no reason why we shouldn't see some blue sky and sunshine. So it

:05:48.:05:51.

really is a day of two halvds. As we make our way through the relainder

:05:52.:05:54.

of the week, it will get a bit cooler but with high pressure

:05:55.:05:57.

building nicely into place, it will remain dry and settled throtgh

:05:58.:06:01.

Tuesday. That's all for now, I'll be back with the Late

:06:02.:06:04.

Good evening, after a fairly mild weekend, a fresher week in store for

:06:05.:06:14.

the week ahead. Moreshine at times but not a huge amount tomorrow

:06:15.:06:19.

because that's shaping up to be a wet day for just about all of us.

:06:20.:06:22.

The rain developing through the night and it is still wet at the

:06:23.:06:25.

moment in southern counties. Watch how the rain becomes more extensive

:06:26.:06:29.

and heavier with a strengthening breeze. For northern England and

:06:30.:06:34.

Northern Ireland, a colder feel to the night. In northern Scotland

:06:35.:06:42.

there will be temperatures in sheltered spots. A mild start for

:06:43.:06:47.

Monday. If you escape through the morning commute dry, you will one of

:06:48.:06:51.

the few. Heavy bursts around. So expect surface water and spray on

:06:52.:06:55.

faster routes if you are travelling in by car. The winds are a feature

:06:56.:07:00.

in the south. After a dry start for
