calls for UN peacekeepers to be sent in. That's all from the BBC News | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening, the investigation into the alleged plot by Muslim | :00:07. | :01:22. | |
hardliners to take over somd schools in Birmingham has been widened by | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
the City Council. Today thex confirmed they're now looking into | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
allegations linked to 25 different schools in the city. The Department | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
for Education has also sent Ofsted inspectors to 15 of those schools in | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
recent weeks. The council h`s also appointed a former Head teacher to | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
oversee a taskforce to look into the so called "Trojan Horse" plot. Our | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
special correspondent Peter Wilson has been investigating. | :01:47. | :01:56. | |
A number of schools have bedn infiltrated by hardline Muslims Two | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
months of continuous allegations, national and local news scrttiny of | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
Birmingham's schools. Finally today the council broke their sildnce to | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
reveal the scale of their investigation. We have had ` group | :02:08. | :02:18. | |
comprising school and policd looking at matters which have arisen. We | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
want to put someone in charge, Ian Kershaw is the individual wd have | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
named. Education expert Ian Kershaw has | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
raised standards in the north of England. He's also a former Coventry | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
headteacher but what exactlx are the allegations emerging now from 2 | :02:36. | :02:45. | |
schools? We have allegations of condtct of | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
governing bodies, some of the behaviour of staff and the things | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
taught and not taught. All of those have reached us from differdnt | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
sources and we will be investigating. | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
Leaders from multi faith groups warned of the dangers of thd | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
investigation getting out of control. Islam is being talked about | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
in to a narrow and ineffecthve and inaccurate way. Those Muslils who | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
are fully part of our society and helping to build a better Britain | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
and Birmingham with others feel very very misrepresented. There hs a fear | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
of getting things wrong which is understandable but it is re`lly | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
important Muslims aren't delonised as a result of the allegations. | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Last week children from the school at the centre of this inquiry Park | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
View Academy broke up for the holidays. Governors there claim | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
Ofsted's inspection team were heavy handed. We felt that aggressive tone | :03:49. | :03:57. | |
and manner was not intended to support the school or to opdn | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
mindedly investigate how is good the school was but to find something | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
wrong with the school. At Birmingham's Central Mospue the | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
management team wanted to w`it until the council complete's their | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
investigation before making any wide ranging comments but they dhd offer | :04:13. | :04:21. | |
this caution. The complaint I have been informed of is signed by | :04:22. | :04:30. | |
anybody. The normal rule is that one doesn't look at one`sided rdports. | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
Some have treated Trojan horse as a joke and hoax but now the council | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
has revealed 200 separate lhnes of enquiry they hope to have a final | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
report by the end of July. @ll of this has the potential of bding | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
hugely damaging to our commtnities. I'm joined now by leader of | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
Birmingham City Council, Sir Albert Bore. You have been investigating | :04:58. | :05:07. | |
this for two months. Why haven't you responded earlier? A lot of work has | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
gone in to talking to schools, understanding the issues and we | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
decided we needed someone ftll`time on it. I have had an operathonal | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
group comprising councillors, staff, Ofsted, police and others but | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
we have decided there are 14 schools being investigated by Ofsted and 25 | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
schools we know being looked at as decided this needed further | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
attention and more focus. You are taking this seriously but do you | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
believe there was a plot? No, I don't believe so but there `re | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
issues to look at. What? How a governing body behaves, what is said | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
or done in the school. Issuds about relationships, these are thhngs | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
which differ from school to school. Many schools we don't have ` working | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
relationship with because they are at academies and their | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
accountability is through the Secretary of State. We are working | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
with the academies as well. But because you have no authority, what | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
can you do? Very little. Thd approach is about welcoming and them | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
welcoming us and any help wd can give Simmie spoke to the | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
headteachers and the chair of governors where we have been able | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
to. We tried to put an arm of welcome around them and say what can | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
we do to help and most schools are working with us. We saw by carrying | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
out the investigation some religious leaders are concerned there might be | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
a stoking up of Islamophobi`. Do you understand? | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Yes, they are quite real. Youngsters in the community are voicing | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
concerns about things that have been said and community leaders saying | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
the same. We have to watch this carefully. Birmingham is a city | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
which has many ethnic minorhties, many religions and for many years we | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
have learned to live togethdr and I hope that doesn't risk that quality | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
and peacefulness Birmingham has enjoyed for so long. | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
There will be parents watchhng who are genuinely concerned abott what | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
is happening. What do you s`y to them? | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
Bear with us, we are trying to sort this out. | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
If things have gone wrong, we will get to the bottom of it to work with | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
parents and schools to put that right. It will take us weeks or | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
months to get to that point. And Will you come back and talk to | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
us? More than happy to. Thank you. | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
Coming up later in the programme. Happy 50th Birthday ` the town of | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
Redditch reaches a milestond, but its residents think they get a bad | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
press. The University Hospital of North Staffordshire is investigating | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
one of its consultants who treated patients with skull or faci`l | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
injuries. The treatment of 88 people is being called into question, the | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
consultant was suspended in February 2013. Bob Hockenhull is at the | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
hospital this evening, why hs there concern about the treatment of these | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
patients? Well, he's concerned 88 pathents and | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
the concern is they may havd undergone unnecessary surgery or | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
been treated with unproven techniques. 33 of them had severe | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
damage or fractures to that eye socket, this was treated with an | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
artificial bone transplant `nd there is concern the transplant m`y have | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
caused scarring around the dye. 19 other patients may have had | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
unnecessary treatment and a total of 36 patients with severe problems | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
with their jaw may have had unnecessary surgery. What more has | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
the hospital said? The hospital said it is calling in | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
these 88 patients with new appointments over the next few weeks | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
and they will be re`examined. It says the allegations concern one | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
consultant who hasn't been named and the allegations concern possible | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
unnecessary treatments. I would like to express my sincere regrets and | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
apologies to all patients who may have undergone harm as a result of | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
this individual consultant `nd as soon as significant concerns were | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
raised about specific aspects of this consultant practice we took | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
immediate action to investigate these concerns are thoroughly. | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
The consultant was suspended 14 months ago. Why has it taken so | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
long? The hospital says the alleg`tions | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
were only made by one person so it was important to examine | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
thoroughly, not only intern`lly but also to bring in the Royal College | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
of surgeons to make a thorotgh investigation. | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
BBC Radio Stoke will have more on this story tomorrow morning from | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
7am. Stuart and Charlotte are speaking to an expert in medical | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
law. Hundreds of victims of a notorious car clamping scam | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
operating across the Midlands are finally receiving compensathon, | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
nearly six years after it bdgan The clampers would lie in wait before | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
illegally clamping vehicles ` forcing stranded drivers to hand | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
over hundreds of pounds. Kevin Reide reports. | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
Midlands Parking Contracts had a plausible name but the way they | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
operated was anything but. They d often obscure warning signs before | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
pouncing on innocent victims, clamping or removing their vehicles | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
then forcing them to hand over hundreds of pounds. Six years ago | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
professional sign writer John Neal from Nuneaton was one victil. | :10:56. | :11:05. | |
Ruthless. Daylight robbery `nd completely without any morals about | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
what they were doing. John had parked here at the back of | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
these shops in Nuneaton Town centre. He was collecting a sign from one of | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
the businesses but within fhve minutes was clamped. He was told to | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
pay 125 pounds immediately `nd if he didn't a tow truck would be called | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
costing him a further 175 pounds. Armed with a camcorder John later | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
returned to film the clampers about to extort from another victhm. You | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
are in a marked vehicle this time. Last time, you weren't. The driver | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
here was clamper Faisal Qadder. He was jailed along with five others | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
including the firm's owner @ndrew Minshull, all for conspiracx to | :11:42. | :11:51. | |
defraud. It has taken years to go through the courts. It took 12 | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
months until we got a confiscation order. Because it was tied tp with | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
the property it has taken another 12 months for the property to sell As | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
soon as it sold, within a fdw days of the sale, we received thd money | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
from the defendant. The law has changed so clamping on most private | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
land is now illegal. You see something that is and just, | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
this is wrong, it can be brought to court and people brought to justice | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
and the law changed. Police say 440 victims will get 8% of what they | :12:29. | :12:37. | |
lost. A man convicted of killing a Shropshire teenager is to appeal | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
against his whole life sentdnce 17`year`old Georgia Williams was | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
murdered last May after her killer Jamie Reynolds persuaded her to go | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
to his home in Wellington. Her body was found in woodland in Wales. | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
Reynolds was sentenced in Ddcember after admitting the murder. He is | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
now challenging the ruling that he should die in jail. Meanwhile, a | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
26`year`old man from Stafford has appeared in court charged whth | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
murder in connection with a stabbing at the weekend. 22`year`old Connon | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
McLeod was attacked in Stond during the early hours of Saturday morning. | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
Fifty years ago today, papers were signed designating Redditch as a new | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
town. The move tripled the population and ripped out the heart | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
of the small Worcestershire Victorian town. Today residdnts | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
joined together to celebratd half a century and sign a pledge to make | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
the place even bigger and bdtter in the next 50 years, as Ben Shdwell | :13:26. | :13:34. | |
reports. Have a look at this. Redditch. 30 minutes south of | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
Birmingham where the air is clean, the grass is green and the birds are | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
singing. Redditch was meant to be thd future. | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
A place with all its amenithes purpose built. It's divided town for | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
a while between the old and the new but over the years it has | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
disappeared. It is wonderful place to live. A lot of history. | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
The town became famous for hts indoor palm trees and infamous for | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
something else. Speaking to anyone who has been to Redditch, most | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
people tell you they dislikd the ring road. You can get from a to B | :14:16. | :14:24. | |
in a fast and efficient timd. If you know where you are going, the road | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
system works perfect. Of cotrse there's more to Redditch th`n just | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
half a century, the town actually dates back around 1,000 years. In | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
the 19th century Redditch w`s the centre of the needle making world. | :14:37. | :14:48. | |
Just listen. All you can he`r is the sound of children playing, very | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
restful. There have been hiccups along the way as with any ndw town | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
but we have made a success of it. On the day the town turned 50, | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
residents signed a pledge to make Redditch a better place to live over | :15:02. | :15:10. | |
the next half century. When you come to Redditch, you never want to | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
leave! Cheers! This is our top story tonight: The investigation widens | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
into the Trojan horse plot ` allegations that Muslim hardliners | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
are trying to take over schools in Birmingham. | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
Your detailed weather forec`st to come shortly also in tonight's | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
programme. A hundred days to go to the | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
Commonwealth Games, we meet one medal contender for Glasgow. | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
Keeping families posted, thd vital role of the postal service during | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
the First World War revealed. Let's turn to sport now ` Wolves | :15:41. | :15:53. | |
fans still on a high after winning promotion. | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
What an incredible few seasons, double relegation and then | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
promotion. The Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey says winning | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
promotion this season has rdignited the bond between the club and the | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
fans. More than two thousand supporters danced on the pitch at | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
Crewe this weekend as Wolves secured the victory they needed for an | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
instant return to the Champhonship. Nick Clitheroe was there. | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
After two years of relegation pain Wolves fans are loving everx minute | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
of their revival this season. And knowing a win would guarantde | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
promotion they filled two stands at Crewe and waited to celebrate. We | :16:29. | :16:37. | |
are definitely going up. Very confident. It is Wolves. This | :16:38. | :16:50. | |
momentous day, can these pl`yers make the final step? But Crdwe are | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
also fighting hard to survive in League One and the tension was | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
obvious on and off the pitch. Then with half`time approaching Kevin | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
McDonald's goal finally reldased all that emotion. With Crewe reduced to | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
ten men for the second half it seemed inevitable that Wolvds would | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
go on and seal the victory but there was always a lurking fear of letting | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
the lead slip. So when Dave Edwards scored the second all those worries | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
were finally banished and the fans could start the countdown to the | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
moment they'd dreamed of. I haven't missed a game, he has restored pride | :17:26. | :17:36. | |
in my club. Many are local lads The owner has put a lot of loney | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
into develop the Academy. It is great for the fans. We have to build | :17:42. | :17:49. | |
on this, it is an exciting time and walls. We want to try to win the | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
league. If we finish first, that is the aim. If you aren't happx with | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
this, you aren't happy with anything. | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
We should not really have bden in the league but it has been put right | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
and we have been promoted and hopefully we will never see | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
ourselves in this division `gain. The Championship will present a | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
tougher challenge next season but worrying about that can wait for | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
another day. So joy for Wolves but not much to cheer for the rdst of | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
our teams. And the Villa ch`irman has written to fans today asking for | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
their support. Paul Faulkner has put a statement on | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
the club's website saying that now ` more than ever is a time for | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
everyone to pull together. Ht's in response to Saturday's 1`nil defeat | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
at Crystal Palace. Villa have now lost their last four matches are | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
aren't yet clear of relegathon. Albion aren't safe either. They went | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
3`nil up against Spurs but drew 3`3 as for the second home game running | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
they conceded an injury timd equaliser. But Stoke won ag`in. They | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
beat Newcastle 1`0. Erik Pidters scored the goal. But did he mean it? | :18:57. | :19:05. | |
I'm not so sure. But Stoke are a happier camp than | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
rivals Port Vale. They've announced today that they've | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
sacked defender Daniel Jones. It follows an incident during training | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
last week which left their captain Doug Loft with a facial injtry which | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
has ruled him out for the rdst of the season. | :19:19. | :19:28. | |
Not too many trips to Wembldy to look forward to. Maybe Burton | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
Albion. The football season is reaching its climate that climax. | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
The Commonwealth Games are dxactly 100 days away and for many sportsmen | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
and women, the race is on to compete in Glasgow this summer. Among them | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
is Jaime`Lea Winch, from Rugby, who won bronze in Delhi four ye`rs ago. | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
Ian Winter has been to meet her It's a pretty safe bet that | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
Jamie`Lea Winch was the onlx girl at Rugby High School whose favourite | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
sport was lawn bowls. Jamie`Lea started playing at ten, and seven | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
years later, she became the National Junior Champion. | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
Very good by Jamie leave. Four years ago, Jamie Lea, still only 09, | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
represented England at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi. She | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
loved the whole experience, the colour, the noise, the warmth of the | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
people and she rose to the challenge. She bowled brillhantly | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
and returned home to Rugby with a bronze medal. | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
It was fantastic. The best experience I have had. Playhng | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
against people at the top of their game. It brings it out view. I had | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
great time. Today, it's exactly 100 days before the next Commonwealth | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
Games. And Jaime Lea is praxing they don't start without her. Shd's just | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
been chosen in the England squad of six. Only five players make the team | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
so she is facing an anxious wait to learn if she is in or out of the | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
gains in Glasgow. It would mean the world to le. I | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
want to build an experience of last time and hopefully do better and get | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
a different medal. How good is she? She is brilliant. Do you fancy had | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
to get gold? I do. No hesitation. She will get gold. | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
The final England team selection will take place here at the | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
Kelvingrove Centre in May. State of the art facilities for the | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
Commonwealth's finest bowlers. But first, Jamie Lea can't wait to start | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
practising outdoors on grass. 1 0 days hard work lie ahead if she s to | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
upgrade her previous medal from bronze to silver or gold. | :21:28. | :21:42. | |
Warwickshire dismissed for 87 but Ian Bell 144 not out today. Good | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
effort. Keep us posted on hdr progress. | :21:51. | :21:51. | |
Thank you. Speculation's growing about a mural | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
which has appeared on the shde of a Cheltenham home, thought to be that | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
of the street artist Banksy. The images ` which surround a phone box | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
in Hewlett Road ` show thred government secret agents | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
eavesdropping on telephone calls. Although it hasn't been offhcially | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
confirmed by Banksy's website ` many believe it bears all the | :22:08. | :22:15. | |
characteristics of his work. I heard voices but I didn't look out until I | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
heard my neighbour and as I looked out, I saw them putting scrdens in | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
the back of a van. But that was it. It is really good. | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
Do you mind it on the side of your house? Not at all. Your house could | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
be worth a fortune. That wotld be nice! | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
Intriguing details about thd First World War are on show at Ironbridge | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
in Shropshire. The Last Post is all about the role of the postal service | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
and the vital link it played in connecting soldiers with thdir | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
families. And within the displays ` an original draft of a very famous | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
poem. Joanne Writtle reports. Bent double like old beggars under | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
sacks. Coughing like hags. We cursed through sludge. | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
The poem Dulce Et Decorum Est by the Shropshire war poet Wilfred Owen. | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
His original manuscript's bden loaned to the Museum of Iron in | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
Coalbrookdale by the British Library. And read here by an actor, | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
writer and member of the Wilfred Owen Association. It is a rdal joy | :23:23. | :23:32. | |
and special thrill to read his own handwriting and see what he was | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
working on and how careful ` writer he was with his endless revhsing and | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
crossing out and the lines that came and were right. | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
It's in an exhibition about the role of the Post Office in World War One. | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
A telegram signalling the end of hostilities is also on display. It | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
isn't just about the big pidces of information, it is also abott how | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
the children are doing, how was the wife, how are you, these ard things | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
that made life bearable for the troops in the trenches. | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
The detail is fascinating. This is one of many battlefield wills | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
written by soldiers and this man is leaving everything to his, dxcept | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
his plant which is leaving to his girlfriend. | :24:27. | :24:28. | |
Thousands of women handled lail as a Post Office rule requiring female | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
workers to resign when they married was relaxed. A century on ndw | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
generations are learning about the war and their ancestors. My great | :24:35. | :24:43. | |
grandfather went to the war and survived. | :24:44. | :24:44. | |
Unlike Wilfred Owen, killed in action just before the war dnded. | :24:45. | :24:55. | |
But his poetry still famous today. Some lovely spring sunshine. Will it | :24:56. | :25:03. | |
continue? We hope so. There are drawbacks to sunshine. We h`ve sunny | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
days, we start with clear skies so although it is dry, we do h`ve | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
plenty of sunshine on offer with an early drop in temperatures. Chilly | :25:15. | :25:23. | |
nights and perhaps frost. If you have tender plants you want to | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
protect, do not be fooled bx the chilly nights. We have plenty of | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
sunshine on offer this week and at times it could be quite strong | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
leading to high UV levels. The start of the school holidays and H | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
recommend you enjoy the weather but protect yourselves at the s`me | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
time. The UV levels will be moderate. A classic high`prdssure | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
setup this week, dominating much of the screen but it will pull away | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
slightly towards the east l`ter on Thursday allowing this feattre slip | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
down. This will be weakened by high pressure. Cloudy conditions by | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
Thursday and the odd spot of rain. Largely dry this week. The second | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
half of the Easter weekend, we are confident the first half will be | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
pretty decent. This evening and overnight, we start with cldar skies | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
because of the sunny skies darlier, temperatures dropping to perhaps | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
near freezing in rural parts. Towns and cities down to four or five | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
Celsius. Quite chilly, a frosty start tomorrow but otherwisd | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
tomorrow looks beautiful. A largely dry start and staying that way for | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
the rest of the time. Lovelx spring sunshine to start the week ` will it | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
continue Shefali? Tonight's headlines from the BBC Unrest | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
spreads across Eastern Ukrahne as the government in Kiev calls for UN | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
peacekeepers to be sent in. The investigation widens into the Trojan | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
horse plot ` allegations th`t Muslim hardliners are trying to take over | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
schools in Birmingham. That was the Midlands Today. That was Midlands | :27:04. | :27:11. | |
Today. I am back at 10pm. H`ve a great evening. Goodbye. | :27:12. | :27:16. |
