:00:00. > :00:08.Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: Police
:00:09. > :00:17.confirm no new investigation into the Birmingham pub bombings of 0
:00:18. > :00:22.years ago. There are no obvhous new points for us to take forward. If
:00:23. > :00:26.there are, we will take thel. Heated exchanges as the family of one
:00:27. > :00:31.victim of the bombs arrive for a meeting with police. Let me give you
:00:32. > :00:35.a message to take upstairs from me, I will obstruct this building, I
:00:36. > :00:39.will strike people coming through the front door, I'm not messing
:00:40. > :00:42.about, either. We'll be askhng where the families of the victims go from
:00:43. > :00:46.here. Also tonight ` a reprheve for cash`strapped Hereford Unitdd ` but
:00:47. > :00:49.we meet the players who havdn't been paid. Unwanted hearing aids from
:00:50. > :00:51.Birmingham bringing sound at last to joyous African children. Anxbody
:00:52. > :01:01.watching this would struggld if they had been paid for two months. And we
:01:02. > :01:04.have had heavy downpours and squally winds, doesn't bode well for the
:01:05. > :01:09.rest of the week but it does get better, more details coming up.
:01:10. > :01:12.Good evening. West Midlands Police have confirmed there'll be no fresh
:01:13. > :01:15.inquiry into the Birmingham pub bombings. The news came at ` meeting
:01:16. > :01:21.today between campaigners and Chief Constable Chris Sims. 21 people were
:01:22. > :01:24.killed and another 182 injured when two bombs exploded at the Mtlberry
:01:25. > :01:32.Bush and Tavern in the Town in November 1974. Ten months l`ter six
:01:33. > :01:38.men were jailed for life for murder. But their convictions were puashed
:01:39. > :01:41.in 1991. So what now for thd families of the victims still
:01:42. > :01:48.seeking justice? Anthony Bartram reports.
:01:49. > :01:54.A moment 's reflection before meeting they have waited five years
:01:55. > :01:57.for, that's how long ago Brhan and Judy Hambleton Road to the chief of
:01:58. > :02:02.West Midlands Police asking for a fresh investigation into thd night
:02:03. > :02:08.in 74 Birmingham pub bombings, and atrocities which killed thehr sister
:02:09. > :02:15.Maxine and 20 other innocents. We think they are going to comd out
:02:16. > :02:20.with a bag full of excuses. At police headquarters, the caleras
:02:21. > :02:25.were waiting. It is time for justice to be done and truth to comd out.
:02:26. > :02:28.For two years, detectives from the counterterrorism unit have been
:02:29. > :02:32.reassessing and preserving the old evidence but that is not thd same as
:02:33. > :02:41.reinvestigating. That is wh`t the Hambletons want. I want to see the
:02:42. > :02:49.Chief Constable. We're not standing for no messing about. Insidd,
:02:50. > :02:53.tension and voices raised. Let me give you a message from me. This
:02:54. > :02:56.force has covered this up for 4 years, we're not standing for this
:02:57. > :03:03.any more. I will block that doorway, I'm telling you. It appeared that
:03:04. > :03:07.two lawyers would not be allowed in. After this he did exchange hn front
:03:08. > :03:12.of the cameras, the whole p`rty went upstairs. `` heated exchangd. The
:03:13. > :03:18.meeting was held behind closed doors but after two hours, they elerged.
:03:19. > :03:24.They're not going to reinvestigate, it's all a sham, they treat us like
:03:25. > :03:31.we are cannon fodder. Our loved ones are meaningless to them. Thdy don't
:03:32. > :03:34.care, they're not interested. This was a blow they had half expected
:03:35. > :03:39.but where does it leave thehr campaign? It makes a strongdr and
:03:40. > :03:46.more determined. We're not going to stop. The Hambletons have bden
:03:47. > :03:50.waiting five years for this meeting with the Chief Constable. Lhttle
:03:51. > :03:54.wonder they were angry and frustrated at the eventual
:03:55. > :03:59.decision. The police say thd case isn't closed, but without any fresh
:04:00. > :04:06.evidence, there is nothing they can do. If we get dysfunctional new
:04:07. > :04:10.investigation, we are in a position to take an investigation forward,
:04:11. > :04:15.but as things stand, and thhs is what I have told both familhes,
:04:16. > :04:21.there is no new information that could support a new investigation.
:04:22. > :04:26.He was also able to clarify rumours about missing evidence. One thing
:04:27. > :04:32.that keeps coming up is this third bomb that did not detonate, that's
:04:33. > :04:40.lost, isn't it? Yes. What wd have bound from the work is thosd
:04:41. > :04:46.exhibits, and there were about 5 of the 165 exhibits in the tri`l that
:04:47. > :04:49.were not available to the nhght 91 investigation, it attended to find
:04:50. > :04:56.them but didn't. We have made further attempts but have not played
:04:57. > :05:00.to locate them. The Hambletons have grown used to setbacks over the past
:05:01. > :05:04.40 years and also picking themselves up to fight on. And Anthony joins us
:05:05. > :05:08.now. You've got to know the Hambletons well in recent months `
:05:09. > :05:19.how much of a blow was todax to them? Clearly was a blow, they
:05:20. > :05:24.called it the day, decision day I don't think they were expecting
:05:25. > :05:29.things to go their way but `fter such a long time, there is `lways
:05:30. > :05:33.hope. Clearly, the decision today was that investigation, while not
:05:34. > :05:38.closed, won't be reinvestig`ted until there is further eviddnce to
:05:39. > :05:42.push the police forward on this At the moment nothing seems
:05:43. > :05:49.forthcoming. What has Paddy Hill have to say? He is the other side of
:05:50. > :05:53.this coin, desperately wants a fresh investigation to clear his own name.
:05:54. > :05:59.I got a sense that it wasn't completely unexpected. I sahd to the
:06:00. > :06:02.relatives of those who died and those who were injured and their
:06:03. > :06:08.families, none of us is ever going to get justice, but I tell xou one
:06:09. > :06:12.thing, if the people of the country get behind this petition and we get
:06:13. > :06:15.100,000 signatures, we would be able to get something which at the very
:06:16. > :06:22.least we deserve, which is the truth. Clearly, the campaign goes
:06:23. > :06:26.on. They are certainly not going to give up, and the Hambletons and
:06:27. > :06:31.Paddy Hill are determined to get as much support as possible.
:06:32. > :06:34.And a BBC documentary made by Anthony asking Who Murdered Maxine?
:06:35. > :06:39.Is available on the BBC iPl`yer Coming up later in the programme:
:06:40. > :06:43.Businesses across the West Lidlands are being encouraged to takd up the
:06:44. > :06:44.export challenge ` and develop stronger trade links with foreign
:06:45. > :06:58.companies. In the last 12 months, firms in our
:06:59. > :07:05.region have secured international orders worth at least ?286 lillion.
:07:06. > :07:08.But UK Trade Investment ` the government department that helps
:07:09. > :07:13.companies on a global stage ` says only around 20 per cent of firms
:07:14. > :07:20.currently trade overseas. Hdre's our business correspondent Peter
:07:21. > :07:25.Plisner. Cooking up an export success story.
:07:26. > :07:29.This Black Country firm makds conveyor belt systems for the food
:07:30. > :07:32.industry and it now exports to 2 different countries around the
:07:33. > :07:35.world. More than 70 per cent of what's made here goes abroad ` here
:07:36. > :07:42.it's definitely been an export lead recovery from recession. I think
:07:43. > :07:46.there is a great deal of trtst in brand UK and we have to push that,
:07:47. > :07:49.we have heritage, the industrial revolution started here, it's the
:07:50. > :07:53.world 's number one languagd still, we have two really pushed the fact
:07:54. > :08:02.that we are quality, we are a premium product, we shouldn't be
:08:03. > :08:07.ashamed of that. The Prime Linister says he wants to see exports double
:08:08. > :08:10.by 2020 but here, there seels to be apathy about increasing export
:08:11. > :08:12.levels. Some companies are thinking they might not get paid and others
:08:13. > :08:16.are concerned about the language barrier. Andy Cox is also a member
:08:17. > :08:19.of the Black Country Local Enterprise Partnerships and knows
:08:20. > :08:28.only too well about a reluctance to export. There has been a grdat,
:08:29. > :08:31.great deal of worry. I brought an order back from Poland as opposed to
:08:32. > :08:36.from Preston and get the crddit searches are exactly the sale. We
:08:37. > :08:39.can research Company, find out exactly the financial state, but
:08:40. > :08:45.there is a fear that we cannot physically get your product back.
:08:46. > :08:48.But any fears have been overcome at this company three miles aw`y ` it
:08:49. > :08:52.designs and builds pollution control systems. Exports are currently
:08:53. > :08:58.around 30 per cent ` but growth in Eastern Europe means that should
:08:59. > :09:04.more than double soon. European pollution control regulation is
:09:05. > :09:08.driving the growth, we would expect the effect that to be a flip about
:09:09. > :09:13.exports, currently about 30$, to about 70%. It's all good news for
:09:14. > :09:17.unemployment in the region. Both firms we visited today say they re
:09:18. > :09:24.planning to take on more st`ff and both want more apprentices too.
:09:25. > :09:27.While the focus is on exports this week, another major event is taking
:09:28. > :09:31.place at the National Exhibhtion Centre near Birmingham. MACH 20 4
:09:32. > :09:35.sees 500 exhibitors putting their latest technologies and innovations
:09:36. > :09:41.through their paces. And Peter Plisner is there now for us. Peter `
:09:42. > :09:48.how important are events like this? Very important. The equipment being
:09:49. > :09:51.displayed at the show will ultimately produce the goods that
:09:52. > :09:58.will be exported from this region. This show is the biggest in the UK,
:09:59. > :10:01.showing manufacturing technology, 600 exhibitors showing everxthing
:10:02. > :10:08.from robots to 3`D printers, cutting equipment to high`speed presses like
:10:09. > :10:11.this one. Cutting`edge equipment, ageing is the managing director
:10:12. > :10:26.What is so special about thhs machine? Will it help exports? For
:10:27. > :10:28.sure, this machine is a UK component, around the world, we
:10:29. > :10:36.market them exporting around the world. Also with us is Louise from
:10:37. > :10:42.the menu featuring advisory service. Tell me about exports, comp`nies in
:10:43. > :10:45.your last survey were buying more equipment, they must be buyhng it
:10:46. > :10:51.because they have got strong exports? Absolutely, there `re big
:10:52. > :10:55.opportunities for companies, from exporting and the work being brought
:10:56. > :10:59.back into the UK. Take advantage of that, they need to be more dfficient
:11:00. > :11:05.and introducing innovative products and services. Machines like this
:11:06. > :11:09.enable them to do that. There are lots of glossy machines herd but can
:11:10. > :11:14.companies afford to buy? Ard they being lent the money? The fhrst
:11:15. > :11:19.thing is they have the confhdence to make the investment, there `re other
:11:20. > :11:22.sources of funding, regional growth funds are a good place to look for
:11:23. > :11:32.investment and a lot of othdr finance houses, and that can help
:11:33. > :11:39.with alternative sources. What do we do to encourage countries to export?
:11:40. > :11:44.Them to be confident that there are risks. But organisations like the
:11:45. > :11:55.Chamber of commerce can help manage a way through that. Thank you, sorry
:11:56. > :11:59.I called you Louise. The family of a man who was attacked
:12:00. > :12:03.in Stoke on Trent at the wedkend have released a photo of hil to

:12:07. > :12:16.stable but critical condition in hospital with head and face
:12:17. > :12:20.injuries. He was assaulted by two men in Brownley Road in Smallthorne
:12:21. > :12:23.in the early hours of Saturday morning.
:12:24. > :12:26.A hole that opened up on thd drive of a bed and breakfast in the
:12:27. > :12:30.Staffordshire Moorlands on Friday has been filled in. It took 140
:12:31. > :12:33.tonnes of stones in seven lorry loads to fill the hole. The owners
:12:34. > :12:38.don't expect to re`open thehr business until October. With very
:12:39. > :12:42.concerned about the propertx, we had great worries about it, or 040
:12:43. > :12:46.tonnes of stone, seven lorrx loads and the whole is now stabilhsed We
:12:47. > :12:51.are just sorting the train dad and then we should be OK. Worcestershire

:13:04. > :13:05.Two volunteers who helped whth the flood relief efforts in
:13:06. > :13:08.Worcestershire attended a special reception at Downing Street today.
:13:09. > :13:11.Richard Bailey led a voluntder boat crew which carried out welf`re
:13:12. > :13:14.checks and rescued people at Callow End, while Dave Walker from the
:13:15. > :13:20.Mercia Inshore Search and Rdscue team was a key part of the flood
:13:21. > :13:23.effort in Upton. The force of the water this time with a lot lore
:13:24. > :13:29.powerful. Because the flood defences were pushing water in different
:13:30. > :13:38.ways, and because we work combating contaminated water in 15 model our
:13:39. > :13:41.blows. The opportunity for people who are involved in ordinarx life,
:13:42. > :13:48.coming up here in meeting the Prime Minister, I think is great that they
:13:49. > :13:51.are recognised to what they do. A Birmingham man has collected
:13:52. > :13:54.21,000 old hearing aids to help children hear for the first time in
:13:55. > :13:57.developing countries. Analogue hearing aids are increasingly being
:13:58. > :14:00.replaced by digital models hn the UK, but the old ones are sthll in
:14:01. > :14:07.demand. Ben Godfrey has the details In a classroom in Zambia ` ` special
:14:08. > :14:15.moment. These youngsters ard hearing each other talk clearly for the
:14:16. > :14:19.first time. Those children have this man to thank. Paul Wood is `
:14:20. > :14:27.collector. A man not content with helping to collect 21,000 hdaring
:14:28. > :14:30.aids. A man who wants more. A group of people from my club went over
:14:31. > :14:35.South Africa and discovered there was a tremendous need for hdaring
:14:36. > :14:40.aids. The government making available 150 a year and thd need
:14:41. > :14:48.was 150,000. These analogue aids can't be recycled. As as it's
:14:49. > :14:57.digital technology on the NHS ` there's more here to send ott to
:14:58. > :15:00.Africa and India. I was surprised and horrified, and as an estate
:15:01. > :15:04.agent, I was aware that one often sees hearing aids in houses,
:15:05. > :15:12.seemingly redundant, often hn the case of deceased estates. What
:15:13. > :15:15.happens to them? The World Health Organisation estimates that 31.
:15:16. > :15:18.million children in the World experience disabling hearing loss.
:15:19. > :15:23.Well over half live in south Asia and sub`Saharan Africa. Doctors and
:15:24. > :15:32.patients at the QE Hospital in Birmingham are supporting P`ul's
:15:33. > :15:37.efforts. The hearing aids themselves cost us about ?100 each. Whdn you
:15:38. > :15:40.multiply that by the millions of people who could benefit from
:15:41. > :15:45.hearing aids, the costs could be quite large. Paul, with the help of
:15:46. > :15:49.the Rotary Club, is appealing for hundreds more hearing aids ` in the
:15:50. > :15:59.hope of creating more images like these.
:16:00. > :16:02.This is our top story tonight: West Midlands Police rule out a fresh
:16:03. > :16:06.investigation into the deaths of 21 people in the Birmingham pub
:16:07. > :16:17.bombings. Horrible weather out there this afternoon: Shefali has the
:16:18. > :16:22.detailed forecast a little bit later. Also in tonight's programme a
:16:23. > :16:26.precious win ` could this bd the goal that keeps West Bromwich Albion
:16:27. > :16:29.in the Premier League? Time for sport ` Ian's here with somd welcome
:16:30. > :16:37.relief for fans of both West Bromwich Albion and Hereford United.
:16:38. > :16:40.They have gone 13 Games without a win and their players are gone two
:16:41. > :16:44.months without pay and on the brink of relegation but it is not all doom
:16:45. > :16:47.and gloom at Hereford United. Hereford United have been granted a
:16:48. > :16:56.seven`day adjournment by thd High Court to settle their outst`nding
:16:57. > :16:59.tax bill. It looked like a player mutiny. Today training started
:17:00. > :17:03.without the first team. Thex arrived 30 minutes late. They had bden
:17:04. > :17:11.holding a meeting to discuss their perilous plight. The club nded these
:17:12. > :17:13.players to get motivated for the last five matches of the se`son
:17:14. > :17:19.because if they don't, they get relegated, and the financial
:17:20. > :17:24.problems are even worse. But how do you motivate players who haven't
:17:25. > :17:29.been paid for two months? This is the sharp end of Hereford United's
:17:30. > :17:33.problems. For the players, everything is at stake. Thehr jobs,
:17:34. > :17:38.their families, paying the bills. Players such as the goalkeeper Rhys
:17:39. > :17:44.Evans are even helping out `s coaches. Anybody watching this would
:17:45. > :17:49.probably struggle in their death day`to`day if they hadn't bden paid
:17:50. > :17:52.for two months. It is that fine line between being professional `nd try
:17:53. > :17:56.to do your job properly and doing what's right for you, and nobody
:17:57. > :18:02.would have enlargement if somebody had to walk away or do something
:18:03. > :18:05.else. Caretaker manager Petdr Beadle is left with trying to motivate
:18:06. > :18:10.players who haven't won for 13 matches. They are playing for their
:18:11. > :18:17.futures, wherever that may be, we have tried to maintain setthng your
:18:18. > :18:20.own standards, I know it's tough but you have got to remain positive and
:18:21. > :18:27.keep the standards high in everything we do. There is some good
:18:28. > :18:39.news. Fundraising means the club will now meet a ?70,000 tax bill. We
:18:40. > :18:42.have cleared this hurdle but we now have to face the next one, which is
:18:43. > :18:49.outstanding payroll for plaxers and staff, creditors, and when ht comes
:18:50. > :18:52.through, the next tax bill. Hereford United just one point ahead of the
:18:53. > :18:56.conference relegation zone with five Games to play. They play thdir
:18:57. > :19:00.rivals order shot in the final game of the season. These remain
:19:01. > :19:09.desperate days as the fight goes on to save the club. What is the
:19:10. > :19:18.intriguing connection now bdtween the fundraising efforts and the
:19:19. > :19:22.Grand National? Good question. The winner is trained by Doctor Richard
:19:23. > :19:26.Newland in near Worcester, which is good news for Ricky George, the
:19:27. > :19:32.former Hereford United playdr who scored the winning goal in that
:19:33. > :19:37.famous win over Newcastle in 19 2. He backed the winner and thdn
:19:38. > :19:43.donated his winnings of ?1500 to help his old club in crisis. West
:19:44. > :19:47.Brom have six Games left to guarantee Premier League football
:19:48. > :19:53.next season. They got a 5`point cushion after beating Norwich 1`0.
:19:54. > :19:56.They are now just a couple of points behind Aston Villa, whose dhsmal
:19:57. > :20:04.home form continued with defeat against Fulham. With three coaches
:20:05. > :20:16.laid on by the club, the Albion fans travelled in their thousands. They
:20:17. > :20:22.will richly rewarded. Furtado's goal secured a win and Norwich s`cked
:20:23. > :20:27.their manager 24 hours later. We have seven points from four Games,
:20:28. > :20:30.we are in good shape. Three weeks ago, Aston Villa seemed to be on the
:20:31. > :20:35.brink of clinching survival but have plummeted. Defeat by what club
:20:36. > :20:39.Fulham was a new low, they have lost a club record ten home Games in the
:20:40. > :20:44.season. Villa are still sevdn point clear of the bottom three and should
:20:45. > :20:48.be safe. West Brom have a 5`point gap. Some teams below them have a
:20:49. > :20:53.much more difficult run`in. Birmingham City have flirted with
:20:54. > :21:02.relegation for weeks but another brilliant away victory at Doncaster
:21:03. > :21:06.tried them closer to safety. Wolves are close to joining them in the
:21:07. > :21:11.championship. Saturday's rottine win over Peterborough means thex could
:21:12. > :21:16.be promoted next weekend. Every win at the stage of the season hs a big
:21:17. > :21:22.step. One more game off, adding carriage by the performance, as
:21:23. > :21:26.well. But we were back to otr best. Port Vale have overtaken Walsall in
:21:27. > :21:29.their chase for the promotion play`offs. Shrewsbury Town
:21:30. > :21:34.dramatically improved their chances of staying up after defeating
:21:35. > :21:37.legation rivals Stevenage. @nd automatic promotion is still in the

:21:56. > :21:59.25 seconds ahead of the field in Auckland. It's a flying start of the

:22:06. > :22:20.she won last year. No play for Warwickshire Worcestershire today.
:22:21. > :22:23.It has been a total wash`out. He set off on his journey 500 years ago and
:22:24. > :22:27.now the story of the Worcester pilgrim is being brought back to
:22:28. > :22:30.life. His boots and staff which were unearthed at the city's cathedral 30
:22:31. > :22:33.years ago have undergone extensive conservation and now form the
:22:34. > :22:37.centrepiece of a a new heritage trail. Cath Mackie's been to take a
:22:38. > :22:48.look It's 1454 ` and a pilgrim from Worcester is making his fin`l
:22:49. > :22:53.journey. His name may be Robert Sutton ` and he's being burhed in
:22:54. > :22:58.the city's cathedral. More than 500 years later, his remains ard
:22:59. > :23:03.discovered during excavation work. I have had several stories about the
:23:04. > :23:09.excavation, the caps of the boots, the toes poking out through the
:23:10. > :23:20.soil, and the excitement of recovering more of the boots, which
:23:21. > :23:23.were very unusual to find. The pilgrim's boots and staff h`ve been
:23:24. > :23:26.in the hands of a specialist conservation team and now form the
:23:27. > :23:28.centrepiece of an interactive exhibition at Worcester Cathedral.
:23:29. > :23:31.It is unique in this countrx, people were not usually buried clothes
:23:32. > :23:35.usually in a cloud, so it mtst be significant to this person that they
:23:36. > :23:41.were buried in boots with their pilgrim's staff, and it's
:23:42. > :23:45.extraordinary. We might be talking about a 15th century pilgril but its
:23:46. > :23:48.modern technology that bringing technology to life and therd is a
:23:49. > :23:54.phone that you can use to follow the pilgrim's Trail. Worcester was a
:23:55. > :23:57.popular place for pilgrims to visit the shrines of St Wulfstan `nd St
:23:58. > :24:00.Oswald. The cathedral's library holds the monastic account rolls.
:24:01. > :24:05.Does it tell you how much pdople paid? Yes, in this year thex
:24:06. > :24:16.received seven shillings at the tombs. These tired old boots carry
:24:17. > :24:19.the dust of the medieval pilgrim trail. Hopefully travellers on the
:24:20. > :24:23.modern day version in the chty will find the journey less wearing.
:24:24. > :24:24.A pretty miserable day ` wh`t's the forecast got in store? Here's
:24:25. > :24:33.Shefali. Thankfully not as much rain as
:24:34. > :24:38.today. We have had reports of torrential downpours. That has been
:24:39. > :24:46.coupled with squally winds `round the rain of up to 40 to 50 lph. It
:24:47. > :24:51.is this area of low pressurd that has accompanied us, high prdssure
:24:52. > :24:57.begins to build from the sotth over the next few days. This will be
:24:58. > :25:04.keeping things largely dry. We can't rule out the odd shower, yot can see
:25:05. > :25:11.the compression meaning we will see breezy weather. This evening and
:25:12. > :25:16.overnight, some fairly punchy showers around in the wake of that
:25:17. > :25:19.rain, they will be affecting us during the first part of tonight the
:25:20. > :25:24.high pressure starts to takd effect and take hold by the second part of
:25:25. > :25:29.tonight as the showers fade away. Mostly clear conditions.
:25:30. > :25:34.Temperatures will fall lower than they did last night, when wd had
:25:35. > :25:45.loads of around 11 Celsius, tonight we're down to about four Celsius.
:25:46. > :25:55.The chilly start to the day tomorrow, largely dry conditions.
:25:56. > :26:02.Lots of sunshine, particularly by the afternoon. That will rahse
:26:03. > :26:06.temperatures. It will feel ` bit cooler because of the breezd. We are
:26:07. > :26:12.looking at cold nights this week, tomorrow night is no excepthon. A
:26:13. > :26:16.frosty start of the day on Wednesday, but again, high pressure
:26:17. > :26:24.will keep things strike, a bit cloudier perhaps.
:26:25. > :26:30.Thanks Shef ` and you're gohng to be busy over Easter aren't you? Yes,
:26:31. > :26:33.I'm going to be presenting two radio shows on BBC Coventry and
:26:34. > :26:36.Warwickshire over the holid`y ` at 6pm on Good Friday and Eastdr
:26:37. > :26:38.Monday. And I'm hoping that listeners will get in touch with
:26:39. > :26:56.their questions on Twitter. Tonight's headlines from thd BBC:
:26:57. > :27:01.peaches Geldof, the daughter of Sir Bob Geldof and the late Paul Yates
:27:02. > :27:06.has died at the age of 25. Police were called to her home in Kent
:27:07. > :27:08.where her body was discoverdd. And a police confirmed no new
:27:09. > :27:11.investigation into the Birmhngham pub bombings of 40 years ago. That
