:00:09. > :00:11.That is all the sport, back to you. Good evening.
:00:12. > :00:13.Just two days after being released from hospital, Stephen Sutton, the
:00:14. > :00:16.Staffordshire teenager with incurable cancer, joined hundreds of
:00:17. > :00:19.friends and supporters as he attempted to break a world record
:00:20. > :00:24.and tick another item off his bucket list. Ben Sidwell was there to see
:00:25. > :00:28.if he could do it. It was a moment nobody dreamed would
:00:29. > :00:31.ever happen. Two weeks ago, 19`year` old Stephen Sutton from Burntwood
:00:32. > :00:41.posted a goodbye message on Facebook.
:00:42. > :00:43.Thank you all for coming. It is good to be here.
:00:44. > :00:46.But after seeing a miraculous improvement in his health, this
:00:47. > :00:53.afternoon Stephen was well enough to join in his own world record.
:00:54. > :00:57.Incredibly positive. More than anyone I have ever met. Look at what
:00:58. > :01:00.he has achieved. Who else has done that?
:01:01. > :01:03.Hundreds of people, most of who had never met Stephen, gathered at his
:01:04. > :01:12.old high school to help get him in the world record books.
:01:13. > :01:17.I've come along to help try and break the world record for him.
:01:18. > :01:20.People want to support him, because he is one in a million.
:01:21. > :01:24.To break the record more than 500 people needed to make a heart shaped
:01:25. > :01:30.hand gesture at the same time for two minutes.
:01:31. > :01:36.What is going on here is not about raising money, this is about helping
:01:37. > :01:40.Stephen tick off an item on his bucket list. He wanted to get his
:01:41. > :01:42.name in the world record books, and hopefully he will.
:01:43. > :01:48.And, after a nervous ten minute wait, the news everyone wanted to
:01:49. > :01:55.hear. 554, a brand`new world record. To
:01:56. > :01:59.think that two weeks ago he had been taken into hospital and we thought
:02:00. > :02:02.we would have two do this by himself `` we would have to do this by
:02:03. > :02:05.ourselves. And now he is here. Stephen's now raised well over ?3
:02:06. > :02:09.million for the Teenager Cancer Trust and today this inspirational
:02:10. > :02:19.young man, with a bit of help from some friends, achieved the 34th item
:02:20. > :02:22.on his bucket list. With just over two weeks to go to
:02:23. > :02:25.the local elections, there's concerns that main party conferences
:02:26. > :02:28.may no longer be held in Birmingham. The Conservatives event in the city
:02:29. > :02:31.in September could be their last because it is heavily subsidised.
:02:32. > :02:33.95% of Marketing Birmingham's budget is spent on hosting party
:02:34. > :02:36.conferences. Speaking on Sunday Politics, Lynette Kelly says the
:02:37. > :02:40.cost needs to be spread out. 95% of their marketing budget going
:02:41. > :02:44.on one conference does seem a bit disproportionate, and, if the return
:02:45. > :02:47.to the local economy is as much a ?20 million, then perhaps there
:02:48. > :02:50.needs to be a balancing act, whereby a percentage of the Birmingham
:02:51. > :02:53.Council marketing budget is used to attract party conferences, but the
:02:54. > :03:02.local businesses that benefit should also be putting some money in to
:03:03. > :03:06.attract these ventures. A ?70,000 sculpture which has taken
:03:07. > :03:09.17 years of planning has finally been unveiled in Tewkesbury. Two oak
:03:10. > :03:13.horses representing a key stage in the 1471 battle the War of the Roses
:03:14. > :03:16.were commissioned by the Battlefield Society. The organisation is also
:03:17. > :03:21.involved in a lengthy bid to buy a field of historical importance in
:03:22. > :03:24.the town, as Amy Cole reports. Commemorating one of the most
:03:25. > :03:27.crucial battles in the War of the Roses, these two oak sculptures were
:03:28. > :03:33.officially unveiled in Tewkesbury, and were attracting quite a crowd.
:03:34. > :03:35.Be blessed in the name of Jesus. The work has been commissioned by
:03:36. > :03:41.the Tewkesbury Battlefield Society, which raised ?70,000 to fund the
:03:42. > :03:44.project. It was from this site that the Yorkist forces had their first
:03:45. > :03:48.glimpse of their Lancashire opponents before the battle. The
:03:49. > :03:54.Yorkists are represented by this knight. The Lancastrians are
:03:55. > :03:58.represented by this riderless horse. As you can see, its head is bowed,
:03:59. > :04:02.and that is to symbolise the defeated Lancastrian army.
:04:03. > :04:07.The site is also involved in another big`ticket project. That is trying
:04:08. > :04:12.to acquire this field, very much part of the 1471 battle. It wants to
:04:13. > :04:16.build a visitor attraction and make the area a magnet for tourists, but
:04:17. > :04:24.the land is owned by a charitable trust linked to a school, and it is
:04:25. > :04:28.valued at around ?120,000. We have got ?130,000, but we want
:04:29. > :04:32.not only to buy the field but work on the field as well. Hopefully, we
:04:33. > :04:36.will know within two weeks. Roy Smith has lived in Tewkesbury
:04:37. > :04:39.for 24 years and is proud of the town's historical connections.
:04:40. > :04:43.We have always been on a map because of the battle and a glorious Norman
:04:44. > :04:48.abbey, but now we are on the map again for different reasons. I think
:04:49. > :04:52.it is fantastic. With the roundabout taken care of,
:04:53. > :04:55.it is now a tense wait before the Battlefield Society can see if it
:04:56. > :05:03.can work its magic on the field as well.
:05:04. > :05:14.One football result ` West Bromwich Albion were beaten 1`0 at Arsenal.
:05:15. > :05:17.The rest of the Bank Holiday weather now, here's Sara Blizzard.
:05:18. > :05:23.Good evening. The Midlands had the best of the sunshine today and with
:05:24. > :05:27.the outlook for the next few days, make the most of the next couple of
:05:28. > :05:30.days. Things are going to turn quite showery. It will be a breezy
:05:31. > :05:33.outlook, but in between those showers there will be some sunshine
:05:34. > :05:36.as well. Under those clearer skies, the coldest temperatures are likely
:05:37. > :05:39.to be across Herefordshire and Worcestershire, a minimum of five
:05:40. > :05:43.Celsius. It is going to be a dry night. It will be a lovely, sunny
:05:44. > :05:46.start to Bank Holiday Monday. Again, quite a lot of sunshine through a
:05:47. > :05:50.good percentage of the day, but through the evening, if you have a
:05:51. > :05:53.barbecue planned, this weather front will move its way eastwards. But it
:05:54. > :05:57.will be warm ahead of that rain, with highs of 17 Celsius.
:05:58. > :05:58.That's it from me. I'll be back with the late bulletin just after
:05:59. > :06:14.10:15pm. Bye for now. Good evening. Today we have had the
:06:15. > :06:17.sunniest skies in the South whereas in the north it has been quite
:06:18. > :06:23.cloudy. Tomorrow, we switch things around. In the east we will have
:06:24. > :06:28.warm, hazy sunshine. In the west we will have the biggest cloud.
:06:29. > :06:32.Tonight, there will be some rain across parts of Scotland. The rain
:06:33. > :06:36.easing across Northern Ireland. For many will be a dry night. For many
:06:37. > :06:45.across the south it will be cold. Maybe not quite as cold as last
:06:46. > :06:48.night. We should start with quite a bit of sunshine across central and
:06:49. > :06:54.eastern areas. The sunshine will turn quite hazy of the cloud spills
:06:55. > :07:01.in from the west. The wind is also starting to pick up and we will see
:07:02. > :07:02.rain. For Northern Ireland, the rain spreading across a good part
