:00:00. > :00:11.firepower in military exercises. That is all from the BBC

:00:12. > :00:15.Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: Anger from

:00:16. > :00:18.Stafford Hospital campaigners as it is revealed crucial patient numbers

:00:19. > :00:23.were left out of a report. If the hospital was not there I would have

:00:24. > :00:26.lost at least two of my children. I cannot think what it would be like

:00:27. > :00:28.without it. We will examine what hope there is for maternity services

:00:29. > :00:32.in Stafford. Also tonight: Jailed for two years

:00:33. > :00:36.for stalking his ex`girlfriend, who later jumped to her death from a

:00:37. > :00:39.motorway bridge. He is evil. He is a bully and a coward and had put my

:00:40. > :00:42.daughter through hell. As donations head towards ?2.5

:00:43. > :00:46.million, teenage fundraiser Stephen Sutton ticks off another one on his

:00:47. > :00:57.bucket list ` making a video of his life. The aim of Stephen's story is

:00:58. > :01:01.to spread as much positivity as possible. To show people what it is

:01:02. > :01:06.like to have something goes wrong in your life but not be defined by it.

:01:07. > :01:09.A cricket tour with a difference. The remarkable story of the

:01:10. > :01:11.Worcestershire Gents invited to Berlin in 1937.

:01:12. > :01:15.And today has certainly been a bit of a wash`out, but will the weekend

:01:16. > :01:19.follow suit? Well, there are plenty of April showers on the horizon, but

:01:20. > :01:26.we will get the odd spell of sunshine too. When and where? I'll

:01:27. > :01:29.tell you later. Good evening. The number of people

:01:30. > :01:33.using Stafford Hospital was one of the reasons given for its recent

:01:34. > :01:36.downgrading. But today it has emerged that details of how many

:01:37. > :01:39.children were treated there was removed from an official report. The

:01:40. > :01:45.administrators, who now manage the hospital, say it was an innocent

:01:46. > :01:47.mistake. But Stafford's MP says it calls into question the decision to

:01:48. > :01:52.cut services. Our health correspondent, Michele Paduano,

:01:53. > :01:55.reports. Baby Gracie went into the hospital

:01:56. > :01:58.in Stafford with a chest infection. Her sister had liver failure.

:01:59. > :02:05.Summer, aged four, suffered concussion last May. And her sister,

:02:06. > :02:09.aged six, had her tonsils removed. There are ten children in the family

:02:10. > :02:12.and they are worried about the loss of the Children's Ward. The hospital

:02:13. > :02:16.is like a lifeline to my children. It is a lifeline to us. If the

:02:17. > :02:21.hospital was not there, I would have lost at least two of my children. I

:02:22. > :02:25.do not want to think what life would be like without it. But did their

:02:26. > :02:28.hospital stays appear on Stafford Hospital's statistics? A report

:02:29. > :02:32.compiling those numbers was written by senior staff earlier this year.

:02:33. > :02:35.When it was sent out to other hospitals, with their names on, the

:02:36. > :02:38.figures had been removed. The Trust's administrators say it is an

:02:39. > :02:42.innocent mistake made by a junior member of staff and they have now

:02:43. > :02:45.apologised to the authors of the report. They say that it makes no

:02:46. > :02:48.material difference to the process and the numbers have now been

:02:49. > :02:53.agreed. But they will not say who signed off the report and they will

:02:54. > :02:56.not tell us what those numbers are. I understand that this document has

:02:57. > :02:59.the correct figures, which shows 3000 more episodes of care. Stafford

:03:00. > :03:11.Hospital campaigners are looking to see if there are any grounds for a

:03:12. > :03:14.legal challenge. I would like to think that, by now, Jeremy Hunt

:03:15. > :03:21.knows the true figures and if that is the case he should be looking at

:03:22. > :03:24.doing a review on paediatrics. A year ago, 50,000 people marched to

:03:25. > :03:35.save children's and maternity services. Maternity may have a

:03:36. > :03:38.reprieve, but now the MP says they should look again at children's

:03:39. > :03:41.services. What I am more concerned about is what are the consequences

:03:42. > :03:44.of these revised figures. Clearly, we have to see that the proposals of

:03:45. > :03:47.the Trust's special administrator are now measured against those

:03:48. > :03:52.revised figures. For this family, losing the children's ward is seen

:03:53. > :03:56.as a disaster. And Michele joins me now. The future

:03:57. > :04:00.of children's services at Stafford remains a big issue in the town.

:04:01. > :04:08.What hope is there for maternity services?

:04:09. > :04:11.There should be some hope. Back in February, when they announced the

:04:12. > :04:15.hospital would be taken over, and decision was taken by the Prime

:04:16. > :04:22.Minister to organise a review of the maternity services. What is being

:04:23. > :04:29.proposed is good steps to make sure that A continues at Stafford

:04:30. > :04:32.Hospital. Hard work to make sure we can continue with consultant led

:04:33. > :04:37.maternity services, the people can continue to have babies in

:04:38. > :04:40.Staffordshire. I understand that there was a debate at the highest

:04:41. > :04:46.level of government about whether that should take place. The night

:04:47. > :04:50.before, it had not been the sided. The review is being done by NHS

:04:51. > :04:57.England, but is not likely to take place until next year after the

:04:58. > :05:02.election. I understand they are looking at downgrading the services

:05:03. > :05:08.before then. The Prime Minister's personal assistant has said that is

:05:09. > :05:12.not acceptable. You are watching Midlands Today,

:05:13. > :05:15.good to have you with us. Coming up later in the programme: 90 minutes

:05:16. > :05:20.from a European final ` Blues Ladies prepare for a Swedish semifinal

:05:21. > :05:23.showdown. The remarkable story of Stephen

:05:24. > :05:27.Sutton continues to inspire. His drive for the Teenage Cancer Trust

:05:28. > :05:31.shows no sign of slowing down, as his appeal heads towards ?2.5

:05:32. > :05:35.million pounds. And today the cancer patient from Staffordshire was told

:05:36. > :05:38.a comedy show in his honour will be held in Birmingham on Sunday ` and

:05:39. > :05:42.it is already a sell`out. Bob Hockenhull is at the venue for us

:05:43. > :05:47.tonight. Bob, the amount Stephen has raised is a significant figure for

:05:48. > :05:52.the charity isn't it? It is. The Teenage Cancer Trust

:05:53. > :05:58.normally raises much less than this in a year. He has raised one fifth

:05:59. > :06:03.of their total fundraising. That is still rising. This afternoon, a

:06:04. > :06:13.video of his life was released. It has many contributors, including

:06:14. > :06:16.Stephen's mother. When Stephen started his bucket list, we never

:06:17. > :06:19.expected it to go where it has gone. It has inspired and motivated so

:06:20. > :06:28.many people. Stephen telling his story has made people appreciate

:06:29. > :06:35.just what they have got. We are in the bar where the comedy gig will

:06:36. > :06:40.take place on Sunday night. I am with Richard Taylor, who works here.

:06:41. > :06:45.What was your reaction when Stephen as to put on the gig? I was

:06:46. > :06:50.honoured. All he was bothered about is can we do it inside the Mac days.

:06:51. > :06:54.We are doing our best to make it successful. We are hoping to make

:06:55. > :07:00.about ?10,000. We are going to have an after party and you can join it

:07:01. > :07:06.if you do not have a ticket. Any money made on the door will go to

:07:07. > :07:15.the charity. There are many celebrities taking the campaign to

:07:16. > :07:23.heart. Some big comedy names here? There will be, but I cannot tell you

:07:24. > :07:34.yet. It may also be streamed on the Internet? It may. But that is not

:07:35. > :07:38.yet confirmed. Thank you very much. A man who stalked his former

:07:39. > :07:42.girlfriend in the days leading up to her death has been jailed for two

:07:43. > :07:45.years. Ryan Dey was arrested a month after Kamaljit Sidhu jumped to her

:07:46. > :07:49.death from a bridge over the M6 motorway. The judge said he had

:07:50. > :07:51.subjected her and her family to "a sustained campaign of harassment."

:07:52. > :07:58.Giles Latcham has more. Kamaljit Sidhu, or Kam, was kind,

:07:59. > :08:01.smiling, and funny say her family. She was the manager of a bar in

:08:02. > :08:04.Birmingham and began a relationship with a doorman there, Ryan Dey. His

:08:05. > :08:08.controlling and abusive behaviour led her to break up with him but he

:08:09. > :08:16.continued to stalk and harass her right up to the night of her death.

:08:17. > :08:23.We really miss her. Her death has left a big hall in our lives. Does

:08:24. > :08:29.he realise the damage that he has inflicted? Early one morning last

:08:30. > :08:41.October, traffic on the M6 was brought to a standstill. There was a

:08:42. > :08:47.police incident. It was a young woman jumping from her death onto

:08:48. > :08:53.the motorway below will stop Kam had reached the end of her tether. He

:08:54. > :09:02.had hacked her Facebook and stolen her Ford. He would turn up outside

:09:03. > :09:05.her home at the end. For months, he harassed and stalked her `

:09:06. > :09:09.obsessively jealous when she went out to see friends. "You do nothing

:09:10. > :09:12.but show me hate", she messaged him. And later, "you terrify me". Dey

:09:13. > :09:15.pleaded guilty to stalking and was sentenced to two years. Not enough

:09:16. > :09:18.say her family. We want the world to know that this can never be allowed

:09:19. > :09:27.to happen again. I do not want anyone else to go through what we

:09:28. > :09:34.have. Our lives have stopped. Kam never reported the harassment to the

:09:35. > :09:38.police. We have made stalking a criminal offence, but we are still

:09:39. > :09:43.finding that victims are coming to us saying that they have reported it

:09:44. > :09:52.to the police but it has not been taken seriously. In light of her

:09:53. > :09:58.death, Kam wrote, trust me, I will get through this. Her final message

:09:59. > :10:06.to her family, I love you all what I got weak.

:10:07. > :10:09.On May the 22nd, voters will go to the polls in both European and local

:10:10. > :10:11.elections. And today the Conservative Party have launched

:10:12. > :10:13.their West Midlands European Parliamentary Elections campaign in

:10:14. > :10:16.Birmingham. The seven Tory candidates describe next month's

:10:17. > :10:20.vote as the most important European elections for a generation and claim

:10:21. > :10:23.they are the only party that can deliver real change in Europe. We

:10:24. > :10:27.want to see real change in Europe and we want to make sure that we

:10:28. > :10:31.secure a better deal for Britain. We want to put that deal to the British

:10:32. > :10:34.people in a referendum. Right now, we need to see Conservative members

:10:35. > :10:41.of the European Parliament working with our colleagues at Westminster

:10:42. > :10:44.to negotiate that better deal. Meanwhile the UKIP leader, Nigel

:10:45. > :10:47.Farage, took a rain`soaked tour of Dudley town centre this afternoon,

:10:48. > :10:51.chatting to market stall holders. He is due to speak at a public meeting

:10:52. > :10:55.in the town hall tonight. The politician is the privately`educated

:10:56. > :10:59.son of a stockbroker. We asked him how much he felt he had in common

:11:00. > :11:04.with many working class people in the Black Country. I have a bit more

:11:05. > :11:07.in common with them than Clegg, Cameron and Miliband, because I have

:11:08. > :11:11.actually had a job. I have been through some tough times in life and

:11:12. > :11:15.some good times in life. I've had times I have been losing money in

:11:16. > :11:21.business. I have lived in the real world, I worked for 20 years, I ran

:11:22. > :11:24.my own company for nine years. It is the story sparked by a simple

:11:25. > :11:28.letter which claimed that hard`line Muslims were trying to take over

:11:29. > :11:32.schools in Birmingham. We still do not know if that letter is a hoax,

:11:33. > :11:35.but the focus on schools in the city is widening. There are now at least

:11:36. > :11:38.four investigations into 25 schools ` being carried out by Ofsted,

:11:39. > :11:41.Birmingham City Council, the Department for Education, and the

:11:42. > :11:44.Education Funding Agency. The Education Secretary, Michael Gove,

:11:45. > :11:46.says he is extremely concerned and has drafted in a former

:11:47. > :11:53.counter`terrorism chief, Peter Clarke, to investigate. There are

:11:54. > :11:57.now fresh claims about inappropriate teaching. The BBC was contacted by

:11:58. > :12:01.the British Humanist Society staff at Park View Academy, who also told

:12:02. > :12:07.the BBC that creationism is being taught in science lessons. Cath

:12:08. > :12:10.Mackie has more. Sitting in the shadows, not wanting

:12:11. > :12:13.to be identified. This is the first time staff from Park View Academy in

:12:14. > :12:23.Birmingham have spoken publicly. Their complaints are of extremism

:12:24. > :12:28.and discrimination in the classroom. In a sex education lesson, it works

:12:29. > :12:34.she was given out saying that a woman had to obey her husband will

:12:35. > :12:42.stop questions were asked. So a woman cannot say no? Creationism was

:12:43. > :12:47.being taught in a science class by a science teacher to students studying

:12:48. > :12:51.for their GCSEs. Park View Academy is not the only school under

:12:52. > :12:54.scrutiny. 25 schools in the city are being investigated over claims they

:12:55. > :12:56.have been taken over by Muslim hardliners. Park View is strongly

:12:57. > :12:59.refuting the latest allegations. Creationism, they say, is not school

:13:00. > :13:02.policy and the issue of sexual consent came from a misunderstanding

:13:03. > :13:05.of historical reference to do with cultural expectations of sex within

:13:06. > :13:08.marriage. They have since held a special assembly, they say, to make

:13:09. > :13:17.clear sex without informed consent is rape. The situation is now so

:13:18. > :13:20.sensitive the chief inspector of schools in England, Sir Michael

:13:21. > :13:23.Wilshaw, is taking personal charge of Ofsted's investigation in

:13:24. > :13:26.Birmingham, while the City Council is under pressure to publish the

:13:27. > :13:29.results of its own investigations. One woman, whose daughter is due to

:13:30. > :13:38.start at Park View in September, says she is confident it is a good

:13:39. > :13:42.school. The first thing that has attracted me is the education and

:13:43. > :13:46.the results, because you want to send your child to a school where

:13:47. > :13:50.you know they will achieve their potential. It is thought the reports

:13:51. > :13:55.into the allegations will be made public next month. Cath Mackie, BBC

:13:56. > :13:58.Midlands Today, Birmingham. This is our top story tonight: Anger

:13:59. > :14:01.from Stafford Hospital campaigners as it is revealed crucial patient

:14:02. > :14:04.numbers were left out of a report. Your detailed weekend weather

:14:05. > :14:07.forecast to come shortly from Rebecca.

:14:08. > :14:10.Also in tonight's programme: How taking up an invitation to tour

:14:11. > :14:14.Germany led to some tricky moments for Worcestershire cricketers in

:14:36. > :14:38.big weekend for Birmingham City ` men and women.

:14:39. > :14:41.Thirty`two years ago this month, Aston Villa flew back from Belgium

:14:42. > :14:44.having earned their place in the European Cup final. This weekend,

:14:45. > :14:48.Birmingham City Ladies are hoping to do the same, in Sweden. They are

:14:49. > :14:54.just one game away from reaching the final of the UEFA Women's Champions

:14:55. > :14:57.League. And if the Blues succeed, it will be a remarkable achievement,

:14:58. > :15:01.against all the odds. Nick Clitheroe reports.

:15:02. > :15:04.Karen Carney and Kerys Harrop are loving their football at the moment

:15:05. > :15:07.and who can blame them. They have been coaching young players at

:15:08. > :15:10.Shrewsbury Town ahead of England's World Cup qualifier there next

:15:11. > :15:18.month. But there was no hiding their excitement about Birmingham City's

:15:19. > :15:23.European adventure. This is a big achievement. It is the biggest indie

:15:24. > :15:29.club's history. To go that one step further, into the final, would be

:15:30. > :15:34.amazing. Also amazing for people in the past who have helped to build

:15:35. > :15:38.the club. Tyreso are one of a number of European clubs who have thrown

:15:39. > :15:40.big money at the women's game ` signing major stars like the

:15:41. > :15:43.Brazilian Marta, although they have since run into financial trouble.

:15:44. > :15:45.Victory for Birmingham City would justify their alternative philosophy

:15:46. > :15:52.of developing their own young talent. We have got nothing to lose.

:15:53. > :15:56.Everyone thinks they will go through and we are the underdogs, but we

:15:57. > :16:00.have done so well as a club to get where we are. We are under no

:16:01. > :16:04.pressure. You do not get many opportunities to play in these

:16:05. > :16:09.competitions. To be in this position is very rare, and you have to enjoy.

:16:10. > :16:12.The Swedish side had the better of the goalless first leg, but

:16:13. > :16:16.Birmingham grew in confidence and will fly to Sweden tomorrow with

:16:17. > :16:19.plenty of belief. The other big plus was a sell`out crowd at Solihull.

:16:20. > :16:23.Even if they go out of the Champions League on Sunday, Blues have already

:16:24. > :16:26.succeeded in raising the profile of the women's game. Nick Clitheroe BBC

:16:27. > :16:29.Midlands Today. And there will be full match commentary from Sweden on

:16:30. > :16:33.BBC WM 95.6 on Sunday afternoon from 1PM.

:16:34. > :16:38.Good luck to Birmingham City Ladies on Sunday. But as for their male

:16:39. > :16:41.counterparts, what a contrast! Is there any end in sight to the Blues

:16:42. > :16:45.dismal home form? In a word, no! Cast your mind back

:16:46. > :16:50.to the 1st of October ` the Blues beat Millwall 4`0 at St Andrew's.

:16:51. > :16:53.Who would have thought that now, almost seven months later, they are

:16:54. > :16:58.still waiting for their next home win. That is 16 home games ` nine

:16:59. > :17:07.defeats and seven draws. Just seven points from a possible 48.

:17:08. > :17:10.Relegation form. Look at the bottom of the Championship. Birmingham just

:17:11. > :17:13.outside the bottom three, on goal difference. They have got three

:17:14. > :17:16.games left: At home to Leeds tomorrow, at home to Wigan on

:17:17. > :17:20.Tuesday, and then finally away to Bolton.

:17:21. > :17:24.And the nerves are jangling for Villa and Albion near the foot of

:17:25. > :17:29.the Premier League as well? Yes, they have both got four games

:17:30. > :17:33.left to play. West Brom are hoping to avoid a hat`trick of 3`3 draws at

:17:34. > :17:43.the Hawthorns. Tomorrow, they are at home to West Ham, with whom they

:17:44. > :17:49.drew 3`3 when they met in December! If we lose the game, we will have to

:17:50. > :17:58.go to the store game will stop we played under pressure in games

:17:59. > :18:04.against Cardiff and Norwich and spires `` Spurs. We have done well

:18:05. > :18:08.in those games and I believe we are ready. Albion should be safe if they

:18:09. > :18:12.beat West Ham, likewise Villa if they get a point away to Swansea.

:18:13. > :18:15.But if they don't, it could go to the wire Elsewhere, Shrewsbury could

:18:16. > :18:16.be relegated from League One tomorrow, even if they beat

:18:17. > :18:20.Peterborough. And Hereford United must win their

:18:21. > :18:25.last match to stand any chance of survival in the Conference.

:18:26. > :18:28.It is a difficult time in the season.

:18:29. > :18:31.In August 1937, an unlikely group of Englishman arrived in Berlin, for an

:18:32. > :18:34.even more unlikely sporting tour. The Gentlemen of Worcestershire

:18:35. > :18:37.Cricket Club had been invited by members of the Nazi hierarchy, who

:18:38. > :18:39.had developed an interest in the quintessentially English game, to

:18:40. > :18:44.compete in three games against the best players in Germany. Well now a

:18:45. > :18:46.new book, The Fields of Shadows, tells the story of this long

:18:47. > :18:55.forgotten cricket tour. Dan Pallett reports.

:18:56. > :18:58.It is a timeless English scene. Cricket, especially at Worcester, is

:18:59. > :19:00.a relaxed and convivial sport. But history shows it spread to some

:19:01. > :19:23.surprising places. Germany in Nothing like a spot of cricket,

:19:24. > :19:29.then, to diffuse the tension. There was an element of still trying to

:19:30. > :19:32.make friends with Hitler. There was an element in British society that

:19:33. > :19:42.what he was a man you could do a deal with, maybe he was not so bad.

:19:43. > :19:45.They hoped to have a civilised Nathalie government in power. Author

:19:46. > :19:49.Dan Waddell has researched the tour for five years. It began after he

:19:50. > :19:52.chanced upon a reference to cricket in Germany in an essay by George

:19:53. > :19:54.Orwell. His work, alongside the Worcestershire archivist Tim Jones,

:19:55. > :19:57.uncovered these Worcestershire Gents who took`up an invitation from the

:19:58. > :20:01.German minister for sport to tour Berlin. Eager to promote their sport

:20:02. > :20:10.and build bridges with their hosts, they even made a Nazi salute before

:20:11. > :20:17.the first match. I am sure that they were quite ashamed when Hitler

:20:18. > :21:06.turned out the way that he did. I think they were being polite.

:21:07. > :21:09.here in the middle of the photograph. I don't remember any

:21:10. > :21:12.German animosity, but I do not know why he went on the tour. I suspect

:21:13. > :22:52.he thought it would be interesting. We are expecting a few showers from

:22:53. > :22:56.the south`west will stop. In the mid 1970's, Peter was one of

:22:57. > :23:00.the most famous faces on TV screens in the Midlands, as the creator and

:23:01. > :23:07.host of Tiswas. It was a success because it broke all the rules. I

:23:08. > :23:13.got the first custard pie and the first bucket of water. It was a

:23:14. > :23:19.tremendous reckless `` a tremendous recipe for kids. Peter's fame saw

:23:20. > :23:32.Redditch come calling, to front a major promotional video for the

:23:33. > :23:36.town. So if we are here, I think I can remember it the way. Since we

:23:37. > :23:40.showed the old film on Midlands Today last week, Peter's celebrity

:23:41. > :23:43.status has returned once again. I began to get e`mails from people. I

:23:44. > :23:49.got some calls saying I remembered you will stop Over the last 40

:23:50. > :23:53.years, Peter has run radio stations, been the High Sheriff of the West

:23:54. > :24:04.Midlands, and is now dabbling in politics. I get elected as district

:24:05. > :24:10.councillor. I walk in, not knowing what to expect, and immediately

:24:11. > :24:23.someone said that is councillor Tiswas. So seeing as we have the

:24:24. > :24:30.creator of Tiswas, there's one thing I'm desperate to know....who was the

:24:31. > :24:34.flan flinger? Do not go there. Some very heavy rain around today `

:24:35. > :24:38.tricky on the roads. Is it looking any drier for the weekend, Rebecca?

:24:39. > :24:43.April is well known for its showers and today we certainly had a display

:24:44. > :24:46.of those. Some heavy downpours, with 15`20m of rain across the South

:24:47. > :24:51.Midlands, and plenty of surface water around. And we have more heavy

:24:52. > :24:54.rain on the way through the weekend. But it won't be a total wash`out `

:24:55. > :24:58.there will be some brightness, particularly tomorrow. But winds

:24:59. > :25:02.will start to pick up, and we could get some blustery conditions over

:25:03. > :25:05.the next few days. For a time tonight things will dry out, but

:25:06. > :25:08.that is sandwiched between two fronts ` the first from today

:25:09. > :25:12.clearing away, before a second swings in around this deep area of

:25:13. > :25:15.low pressure which is bringing us this unsettled weather this weekend.

:25:16. > :25:18.So we still have some showers to contend with this evening and

:25:19. > :25:22.tonight, at times some will be heavy. Then we have this brief spell

:25:23. > :25:30.of dryness, even though we have clear skies for a time, as that

:25:31. > :25:33.second band of rain works its way. A spell of steady rain for most of us

:25:34. > :25:37.and temperatures won't fall away too far under the cloud and rain. So a

:25:38. > :25:41.wet and cloudy start to Saturday with that rain band sitting over us

:25:42. > :25:45.` but it will brighten up as that clears away to the north. Some

:25:46. > :25:50.pleasant sunny spells to come, not a bad morning really. Through the

:25:51. > :25:54.afternoon, showers will pep up a little ` again we could get some

:25:55. > :25:57.heavy bursts in there, and we can't rule out a rumble of thunder. Where

:25:58. > :26:01.we get the sunshine, temperatures not doing too badly ` up to 15

:26:02. > :26:03.Celsius. Winds are picking up a little bit though. A blustery

:26:04. > :26:06.afternoon. Those showers continue through Saturday evening, again some

:26:07. > :26:09.could be sharp. But they won't really clear away as that low sweeps

:26:10. > :26:13.across us. Temperatures again around eight or nine Celsius with the cloud

:26:14. > :26:16.cover. The low continues to clear away through Sunday and around that

:26:17. > :26:19.we will get some showers. The north Midlands perhaps doing a little

:26:20. > :26:23.better ` managing to see some brightness. But not a bad day `

:26:24. > :26:28.again sunshine and showers for most of us. With lighter winds and milder

:26:29. > :26:56.air, temps into the mid`teens. Goodbye.

:26:57. > :27:05.at the European elections on May the 22nd.

:27:06. > :27:12.even though that would wreck the recovery and destroy jobs.

:27:13. > :27:16.The Conservatives are now openly flirting with exit.

:27:17. > :27:20.they just don't have the courage of their convictions on this.

:27:21. > :27:26.They wouldn't lift a finger to help keep Britain in the EU.

:27:27. > :27:31.So, I'm asking you to vote for the Liberal Democrats, the party of in.

:27:32. > :27:37.In for the sake of British prosperity and jobs.

:27:38. > :27:40.I'm in because we set the global standards
