Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: the Home | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Office says it will consider a formal request for a public inquiry | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
into the deaths of three men killed in the Birmingham riots. The IPCC | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
report did not provide us with real answers. I will be speaking to the | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner about what he intends | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
to do to hold the force to account. Put into special mergers, the new | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
Academy formed to improve failing schools `` special measures. The | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
school has let down its young people, families and community. Bus | :00:40. | :00:48. | |
shelters go up in Coventry but they are missing vital information. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
Rubbish. Pensioners do not know where they are. People do not care. | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
The Spring fair gets grown`up, becoming an official Royal | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
Horticultural Society show. If only the weather was blooming | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
marvellous. Flowers and folk, pelting rain and driving winds don't | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
mix. So, will it improve? Find out later. | :01:10. | :01:20. | |
Good evening. There are growing calls tonight for a public inquiry | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
to be held into how West Midlands Police handled the investigation | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
into the deaths of three young men killed during the Birmingham riots. | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
An Independent Police Complaints Commission report into the case, | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
published yesterday, has been criticised for making a scapegoat of | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
a senior police officer. And for failing to examine documents that | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
were held by the Crown Prosecution Service and providing the families | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
of those who died with no real answers. The Home Office said today | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
it'll consider a formal request for a public inquiry once it's been | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
received. Here's our special correspondent, Peter Wilson. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
Three years on, the families of those who died say they still want | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
answers. An independent report by the police watchdog posed yet more | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
questions. Now one city councillor says the families are right, there | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
must be a public inquiry. The IPCC report did not provide us with real | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
answers. It opened up a can of worms and many more questions. The Crown | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
Prosecution Service did not Corp rate with the IPCC. They did not | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
provide important documents. The only way to get answers is through a | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
public inquiry commissioned by the Home Secretary. And late this | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
afternoon, a spokesperson for the Home Secretary, Theresa May, says | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
they are deeply troubled by the conclusions of the Independent | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
Police Complaints Commission.and they'll consider calls for a public | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
inquiry. Haroon Jahan and brothers Shahzad and Abdul Musavir were hit | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
by a car. The police re`enacted the speed. This man was the family | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
liaison officer, an important role, but not normally central to the | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
running of the investigation. Yet Detective Inspector Khalid Kiyani | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
has been called reckless and blamed for offering witnesses immunity. But | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
he's well trusted and respected by those who've worked with him.It was | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
here at this Smethwick mosque that Khalid Kiyani offered eyewitnesses | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
immunity from prosecution. There are questions about the quality of his | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
work. These have not been made previously in 30 years of service | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
until this particular issue at the end. He was a family liaison | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
officer. I think some of those individuals who came forward to give | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
evidence did so because they had trust in him as an individual and | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
police officer. Do you think the criticisms of Khalid Kiyani are | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
unfair? I think he is being made a scapegoat. He offered witnesses | :03:56. | :04:06. | |
immunity from prosecution. That offer was not disclosed until the | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
end of the trial of eight men accused of murder. They were | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
cleared, but it jeopardised the case. One man who was at the meeting | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
claims Kiyani didn't act alone. We were greeted by a number of | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
officers, at least ten different members of the police. We were | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
briefed that we would be offered, everybody should give a statement | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
and everyone would be given immunity. That was the officer. | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
There were at least ten officers there. Everybody went along with it. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
This was the most high`profile police investigation for nearly a | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
decade, yet a series of mistakes were made. Public enquiries take a | :04:39. | :04:47. | |
long time and are expensive. It can be a knee jerk reaction calling for | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
them. But many people are now saying it is the only way to get the | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
answers that people want to hear. A little earlier, I went to police | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
headquarters and spoke to the West Midlands Police and Crime | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Commissioner Bob Jones who told me the families of the young men who | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
died deserve to have all of their questions answered. Why are you | :05:10. | :05:18. | |
tuning the calls for a public inquiry? `` joining. It is clear the | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
families in Winson Green have not had the best service from the common | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
justice system. The only way we can get answers, from the whole of the | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
justice system, is through a public inquiry. What will you do if you do | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
not achieve that? We will be asking questions within the police and | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
seeking to get answers. But I have not got any powers to demand answers | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
from the court, the CPS, the IPCC. But you can from the police? I | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
cannot interfere with operational policing, I cannot determine who to | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
arrest, I cannot substitute my judgement about the interpretation | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
of the law. That is clear under the legislation. But I can do my best to | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
ensure that we ask questions to make sure what went wrong and are we | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
going to be able to do something to prevent it happening again? Tariq | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
Jahan thinks he has been badly let down. Can you understand that? I can | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
understand his frustration. He has behaved with enormous dignity and | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
has been immensely responsible. The way he behaved in the aftermath of | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
the riots very much led the way in diffusing tensions that could have | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
led to greater problems. When he has behaved in such a dignified and | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
responsible manner, the fact we have let him and the other family down is | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
of immense concern. I would have thought you in your job, this is one | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
of the most daunting challenges you have had to face. It is based there | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
is of key issues that undermine the community's confidence in the | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
police. It is essential. The community is our greatest partner. | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
If we do not have their confidence and support, the police's job in | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
protecting the community is made more difficult. How determined are | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
you to nail this once and for all? I will do my utmost to try and give | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
the families answers, but the only body that has the power to get all | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
of the answers to all of the issues is a public inquiry. The Home | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
Secretary will respond to Tariq Jahan's in the... I very much | :07:45. | :07:58. | |
support that. Coming up later in the programme: A | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
thank you from the trainee pilots learning their craft with the help | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
of farmers in Shropshire. And a first in Shropshire, the Mint | :08:07. | :08:17. | |
that tastes of strawberries. We're disappointed and we've let | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
down our young people. That's the message today from the | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
latest school in the region to be put into special measures. The | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
Nuneaton Academy opened in 2012 as a replacement for two failing schools, | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
but it hasn't yet managed a dramatic improvement in their results. A new | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
principal and chairman of governors have now been appointed. Joan | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
Cummins reports. Nuneaton Academy educates more than | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
950 children from the town. Just like the hundreds of academies | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
across the country, it's state funded but independent of local | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
authority control. But according to Ofsted, standards at the school have | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
dropped to inadequate and it's now in special measures. The teaching | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
has not been fit for purpose. In response to that, what decisions I | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
have made and taken with my team, with the support, is to improve | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
where teaching is not as strong as it should be, we are looking to | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
develop a whole team here so that we are a high performing Academy. The | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
academy was formed in 2010 following the amalgamation of two other | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
secondary schools. It's cost more than ?9 million. But now | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
achievement, teaching, behaviours and leadership are all described as | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
inadequate. A school that is described as being in special | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
measures is a school that has let down the young people, families and | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
communities. Is there any hope for Nuneaton Academy? Absolutely. I am | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
confident it will move forward towards satisfactory, good and | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
ultimately to outstanding. Inspectors said students were often | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
bored and had no pride in their work. But pupils today remained | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
optimistic for the school and their future. Considering we are | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
teenagers, we get bored a lot. Lessons have kicked off to be more | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
creative and we have more practical is going on. The resources have | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
improved. The teaching quality has got better. The students should not | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
get bored. They don't want to be learning then. They have improved. | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
There are more than 300 schools with academy status across the West | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
Midlands. 13 have already been judged inadequate by Ofsted, but | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
supporters of the academy system say they still have a role. On the | :10:25. | :10:35. | |
whole, academies demonstrated better achievement levels than their | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
counterparts. Yes, there will be variations around that. Nuneaton | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
Academy are not taking this judgement lightly. They have | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
introduced a no excuse culture and it applies to both staff and pupils. | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
Inspectors are due to revisit to see if it is working in six weeks. | :10:59. | :11:07. | |
Passengers have described changes made to bus services in the centre | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
of Coventry as a shambles. Long`running road works have meant | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
some stops have had to be moved, but new ones have reappeared without | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
numbers or timetables. The body which looks after public transport | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
has apologised and says the problem will be fixed. Kevin Reide's been | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
trying to work which bus is going from where. | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
The Sir Frank Whittle statue adjacent Coventry's bus station. He | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
helped pioneer high`speed travel, but his low`speed transport | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
successors seem to be struggling. New bus shelters have been installed | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
as part of a refurbishment scheme, but there's no information as to | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
which bus stops where. And some are even stopping where there's no stop | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
at all. I have counted half a dozen bus shelters that are like this one, | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
no information, no numbers, no timetable. For some passengers, it | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
is chaotic. Rubbish. Pensioners do not know where they are. People | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
don't care. No information in any of the bus shelters. It is guesswork. | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
Last time I was here, the bus stop was over there temporarily. Now | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
there are no signs. I don't know any more. I don't know whether to stay. | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
My daughter is in the rain. Chaotic. A couple of years ago in Birmingham, | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
Centro put out stewards when there were changes to bus stops. Not so in | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
Coventry today. We have done a certain amount of local publicity, | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
but we have needed to change things frequently in commentary. It is part | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
of a major scheme to redevelop the city centre, to improve pedestrian | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
areas. Centro have apologised. But it looks as if the young mum we | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
spoke to earlier has found her bus. Or has she? I asked the driver if it | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
was the stop, he did not know. I am going to get a taxi now. Centro are | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
now promising to label the stops and put in timetables. Until then, bus | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
users will have to keep guessing. Now it's not a natural link to make, | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
trainee pilots in the armed forces needing the support of farmers | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
across Shropshire. But without being able to land in fields of all shapes | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
and sizes, they wouldn't get the experience they need. Today RAF | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
Shawbury held a special open day to say thank you to the landowners who | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
support them. Joanne Writtle reports. | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
Military helicopters can be a regular sight in the skies over | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
Shropshire. Largely because of trainee pilots and crew from the | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
defence helicopter flying school at RAF Shawbury taking to the air. | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
But today there was a show for an invited audience, the dozens of | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
landowners who allow the helicopters to touch down on their ground. The | :13:51. | :13:59. | |
topography that we have in Shropshire offers us a mix of flat | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
land and sloping land and open fields and clearings and woods. All | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
of those environments something we need to get used to operating in | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
safely. Some of the landowners were taken up today too. To go and fly | :14:13. | :14:22. | |
around is really a treat. Also to learn more about the air force and | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
the helicopters. It increases the understanding as well. They use the | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
three fields when they wish. Alpha, bravo and Charlie, they call the | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
fields. I keep cattle out of the way when necessary. If the sheep are in | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
the way, they will not use it that day. Not quite Afghanistan | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
conditions in Shropshire, but it is important they have the opportunity. | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
It is no inconvenience to me. Princes William and Harry were among | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
the thousands who've been trained here. This year, no royalty, but | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
nonetheless, dedicated trainees from the Army, RAF and Navy. It is | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
something we do on a day`to`day basis when we are front line. | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
Because of that, it gives us the training now in the basic phase, | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
when we are not under fire, not in an operational environment, when we | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
are getting instruction. So, from rural Shropshire to foreign missions | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
or search and rescue, the trainees here make good use of the land | :15:21. | :15:30. | |
around them. Football now and West Bromwich Albion are still looking | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
for the point which would absolutely guarantee their place in the Premier | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
League for next season. They lost 2`0 at Sunderland last night and | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
stay three points above the relegation zone. But it would need | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
an extraordinary swing in goal difference to send them down. | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
Aston Villa were also beaten, losing 4`0 at the champions elect, | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
Manchester City. Meanwhile, England's women are at | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
Shrewsbury Town this evening aiming to take a step closer to next year's | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
World Cup. They're at home to Ukraine in their latest qualifier | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
and Dan Pallett's there right now. And so far England are well on | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
course for a place in Canada next year, Dan. Yes, England are top of | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
the group and unbeaten. Well on course to qualify for the World Cup | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
in Canada next summer. So it's a perfect time for a young Birmingham | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
City midfielder to come into the squad for the first time and | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
possibly make her debut this evening. She can't stop smiling. | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
Remi Allen is usually a bubbly character anyway. But this week, | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
she's been called into the England squad for the first time. To be | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
honest, I still think I am in shock. I did not expect the phone call. I | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
was delighted. I was a bit nervous. I think I still am, really. Everyone | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
has been welcoming. It has been nice to come and hopefully have a bit of | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
fun now. The 23`year`old has started the season in great form with | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
Birmingham City. Her goals helped them reach the semi`finals of the | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
Champions' League. She played well domestically and in the Champions' | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
League, scoring goals and playing well. She has earned the right to be | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
part of the squad. Of the age she is and mentality, she will naturally | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
fit in and hopefully do well. And she joins an England squad in fine | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
form. England have won all five of the qualifiers so far. Anything less | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
than winning the group would be a disappointment. Tonight's opponents | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
may have more on their minds than football. Unrest in Ukraine | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
continues. This was pro`Russian activists fighting riot police in | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
Donetsk on first May. It is a difficult time for them. A lot of | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
them are playing domestically and probably have family involved. | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
Incredibly difficult. They are probably glad to be here playing | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
such an important match. England's training base at St George's Park | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
couldn't be more different to the troubled areas of Ukraine. The home | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
squad have enjoyed the Staffordshire sunshine. Now they want three points | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
made in Shropshire. Let us set the scene. The head of FA | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
development. You must be pleased with how the girls are developing. | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
They have had good results. Mark has settled in well in charge. It is | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
fair to say we are getting to the business end now. Ukraine are | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
probably the highest ranked opposition in our group. We want to | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
win the home game to put us in a strong position. Of course, the | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
other game, in fact, they did well by getting a draw against Ukraine. | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
Tonight is important to get a win and keep the very good form. The | :18:32. | :18:41. | |
women are back in Shrewsbury. We have always got great support, good | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
surface here. It is a ground where you get good atmosphere. The England | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
team like to travel around, but this is a place where they have always | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
turned out to support us. It is quite a nice vocal lively | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
surrounding, close to the fans. Highways enjoyed laying at a stadium | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
like this and I am sure the girls will. `` enjoyed playing. The girls | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
go to Ukraine next month. Will the game be fine to go ahead? We have | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
asked the question of UEFA. Over the west side, they think it is a long | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
way from the trouble. As we are we are still going. UEFA will make the | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
decision nearer the time. We will adhere to that. Thank you. If you | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
want to watch the game, it is live on BBC Two. | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
Thank you very much indeed. The annual Spring Festival in Malvern | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
today opened today with a newly elevated status. It has become one | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
of the official Royal Horticultural Society's top shows. This year it | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
expects to bring 100,000 visitors to the area. | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
Think or to culture and you think Chelsea. Hampton Court. `` think | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
horticulture. Add Malvern to the list. The Spring Festival. Our | :20:06. | :20:15. | |
relationship with the RHS is so important to us. It is a strong | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
relationship. Having those letters RHS, it denotes we are one of the | :20:22. | :20:30. | |
four top horticultural shows in the UK. What most people come for is the | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
gardens, the beach and the weather. I am getting a bit wet. Thank you. | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
From the experts who have picked up gold to amateurs, a competition | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
winner who is using his opportunity to raise money for the RAF | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
benevolent fund. To give back to the charity was one of my main reasons | :20:59. | :21:07. | |
to enter. My brother is serving in the forces. This represents what we | :21:08. | :21:17. | |
can do for our school. Being such a prestigious show, there are a few | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
first, like the new mint that smells and tastes like strawberries. Just | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
like strawberries. Very surprised! You can smell the strawberries. And | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
a new variety of coniferous plant that actually likes the inclement | :21:37. | :21:46. | |
British weather `` carnivorous. I love the show. I love gardening and | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
it is lovely to see new things too. We were not that keen on the first | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
one because we were not into gardening! Now I think it is | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
brilliant. What sets Malvern aside is that there is more on offer than | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
just flowers. Really spectacular this year. With the partnership they | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
have got, it is like the Chelsea Flower Show but without the barrage | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
of people to get past. What started 29 years ago has become one of the | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
most important dates on the horticultural calendar. | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
Looked a bit damp. Let us find out whether the sun will make a brief | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
appearance at Malvern this year. I would say no chance. It has been | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
horrendous today. No gold rosettes for sunshine. I am | :22:37. | :22:47. | |
a tad more optimistic about tomorrow. Unfortunately, as it | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
stands, it is as advertised and it is looking dire for the weekend. Wet | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
and windy on Saturday. Blustery showers on Sunday. Over the next | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
three days, the winds will prevail. Today's warm sector is out of the | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
way. Temperatures will dip tonight. The main thing is we have the | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
clearing, that is the improvement for tomorrow. Then this next warm | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
sector pushes up for the weekend bringing rain. The winds starting to | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
strengthen as the isobars tighten and turned to north`westerly which | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
is why the temperatures will dip on Sunday. At the moment, the rain has | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
cleared. The odd shower now and again. A lot of dry weather. Cloud | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
as well. Towards the end of the night, when most of us are tucked up | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
in bed, another line of angry looking showers. Hopefully these | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
will be over by tomorrow morning. If they are not, you could be waiting | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
up to them. Temperatures dropping again to a very mild eight to 10 | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
degrees. The wind is picking up in the morning. The showers will move | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
away to the east. After that, just the odd shower. Otherwise, largely | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
dry tomorrow. Sunshine breaking through. Temperatures rising to | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
around 14 to 16. Coupled with that, blustery, gusty westerly wind which | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
could be up to 40mph. Tomorrow night, it starts fairly dry, but | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
then we see the warm sector moving in from the West. It will introduce | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
the rain towards the end of the night and in the early hours of | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
Saturday morning. This will be quite heavy. He winds quite strong. The | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
dark colours, heavy to come. That is throughout Saturday. Blustery heavy | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
showers for Sunday with a change in wind direction to north`westerly | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
which is why the temperature is right down to 12. | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
Tonight was my headlines: Female British soldiers could be allowed to | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
serve on the front line for the first time. | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
Barclays is to cut 19,000 jobs. The Home Office says it will | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
consider any formal request for a public inquiry into the deaths of | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
three men killed during the Birmingham riots. The new academy in | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
Nuneaton has been put into special measures. | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
That was Midlands Today. I will be back at 10pm. Have a good evening. | :25:26. | :25:52. | |
No-one would have believed, in the first years of the 21st century, | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
that Britain's affairs were being watched and scrutinised | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
With the help of our three political parties, | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
who lie to the British public about their intentions, | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
minds immeasurably more bureaucratic than ours | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
slowly and surely drew their plans against us. | :26:13. | :26:24. | |
smashing our democracy and destroying our laws... | :26:25. | :26:29. |
