start to the weekend, some sunshine filtering through. By Monday feeling | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
warm for Good evening. The family of a | :00:00. | :01:10. | |
psychiatric patient who took her own life say more must be done to | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
protect young people. 21`year`old Samantha Maritza from Rugeley died | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
after being allowed to walk out of St George's Hospital in Stafford | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
without an escort. She stepped in front of a train. The NHS Trust | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
which runs the hospital has apologised, but Samantha's family | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
fear other young people are being put at risk. Amy Cole reports. That | :01:30. | :01:39. | |
was before she was going to uni, wasn't it? | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
Coping with grief and loss, it's a daily struggle. Something is missing | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
from my life, definitely. I still have a loving family. I am still the | :01:51. | :02:01. | |
same person. Just very, very sad. I am at a loss Sundays. In June 2010, | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Samantha Maritza was being treated at St George's Hospital in Stafford | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
after suffering from depression. Despite her parent's repeated | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
concerns, the hospital allowed her to leave the site unaccompanied. She | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
died the same night after being hit by a train on the West Coast | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
mainline near Lichfield. The family has now received compensation and | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
more recently, a letter from South Staffordshire and Shropshire NHS | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
Trust. I have read the letter. Do you feel you have had an unreserved | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
apology from the trust? It's not even about the apology. It is about | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
the changes. They are not there. What specifically that you want to | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
see changed? The underscored leave we wanted that looked at. `` an | :02:50. | :02:59. | |
escorted. How can you get ready so quickly for an escorted leave. This | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
is the hospital she was allowed to leave so quickly. The trust says | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
that's unescorted leave is a recognised practice. Investigation | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
has been carried out. The mental health charity Mind says, it | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
believes there needs to be a greater focus on supporting young people. It | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
is really a port to and that we look at having more age`appropriate | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
services so we can support young people to feel less worried about | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
their mental health issue and to understand that they actually can | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
get over their issues. Samantha used to share a room with her younger | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
sister Jamie. They were exceptionally close. It's really | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
hard, every day is really hard, it hasn't any easier. She was my best | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
friend and I miss her. Jamie, Joan and Steve don't want anyone else to | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
suffer like they have and they're in the process of setting up a charity | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
in Samantha's name. You're watching Midlands Today. | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
Coming up later in the programme: Bear with, bear with ` the | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
frustration of traders in a Shropshire town, who say they're | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
losing business because of appalling mobile coverage. Extremely | :04:14. | :04:23. | |
frustrating. I would have more luck talking to this orange. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
Hundreds of mourners turned out to pay their respects today to an RAF | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
airman killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. Flight Lieutenant | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
Rakesh Chauhan from Birmingham, was one of five men killed in the crash | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
last month. A service for him was held today in Leicester, where his | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
family now live. Giles Latcham reports. | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
Young and old, hundreds lined the streets, keen to pay their respects | :04:45. | :04:54. | |
to Flt Lieutenant Rakesh Chauhan. Community is always very sad about | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
the news. He died as a hero. At this young age he has sacrificed his life | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
for Great Britain and the community and humanity. I think this is the | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
highest honour we can give him today for his last journey. May he rest in | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
peace. He did fantastic for the country. We should appreciate what | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
he has done. Rakesh died last month in Kandahar province when a Lynx | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
helicopter crashed on a routine flight. Also killed was Lance | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
Corporal Oliver Thomas from Kington. A service of thanksgiving for his | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
life was held in the Herefordshire town on Saturday. At today's service | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
for Fl Lt Chauhan, six friends flanked the hearse and shops shut as | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
a mark of respect ` his family say the funeral with full military | :05:42. | :05:51. | |
honours was what he wanted. We wanted to be here today to show our | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
respect to protest and to show our support to his next of kin. Sadly, | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
he won't be able to realise his career but he will be long | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
remembered as a true hero. Described as charismatic and loyal, with a | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
contagious sense of humour, Flt Lt Chauhan was born in Birmingham and | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
attended King Edwards School in Edgbaston. An investigation into the | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
cause of the crash is still underway. | :06:18. | :06:27. | |
More details have been released about plans to honour the | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
Staffordshire teenage fundraiser, Stephen Sutton, who died from bowel | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
cancer last week. A book of condolence has opened at Lichfield | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
Cathedral ahead of a public vigil next Thursday and Friday, which will | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
be followed by a private funeral. Thousands of people are expected at | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
the Cathedral, to pay their respects. The fund set up by the | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
teenager from Burntwood has so far brought in almost ?4 milliom to help | :06:46. | :06:55. | |
teenagers with cancer. It has been such `` been designed to be a long | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
open occasion. People can come in, sign the book, like a candle and sit | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
still and reflect. It's not a heavy occasion, it is orientated for | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
people to come and participate as they want to. | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
The Benefits Street star known as White Dee ` or Deirdre Kelly ` is | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
threatening legal action against the Department for Work and Pensions. A | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
national newspaper claimed the Birmingham woman, who featured in | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
the Channel four series, had benefits payments stopped after | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
being pictured on holiday in Mallorca. Her agent said she would | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
consider suing if the DWP had leaked details to the media. The government | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
department says it won't comment on individual cases. | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
Two people appeared in court today charged with the murder of a man | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
whose body was found in a Birmingham canal. Earlier this week police in | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
Smethick cordoned off this house, after the body of 39`year`old | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
Michael Spalding was discovered in the Ladywood area. A 34`year`old | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
woman and a man aged 33 were remanded to appear at the Crown | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
Court next week. A surgeon who branded his initials into a | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
patient's liver has resigned following a disciplinary hearing g. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
Simon Bramhall, who worked for University Hospital Birmingham, said | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
that he had made a mistake and had apologised for it. The incident | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
involved an argon beam used to stop the liver bleeding. Mr Bramhall said | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
that the stress of the past five months had taken its toll and it was | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
time to move on. It's polling day in elections for | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
the European Parliament and for nearly 350 council seats around the | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
Midlands. The polling stations will be open until 10pm tonight, with the | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
first of the local results expected to start coming in around midnight. | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
Our political editor, Patrick Burns, joins us from the Council House in | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
Birmingham, home of Britain's biggest local authority. And I | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
gather there's news of a heightened police presence around the West | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
Midlands. Yes. West Midlands Police tell us | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
they will be maintaining a bit presence right across this polling | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
day and across the area. Not because of news the civic information but | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
against because a historical background of electoral fraud which | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
make this city Tory a few years back. It caused a judge to liken the | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
city to a banana republic. They will be monitoring the situation closely | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
on the ground and preventing any breaches of electoral law. | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
Just remind us where polling is taking place and who will be | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
elected. The simple answer is everybody in | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
the West Midlands gets a chance to elect the seven NEP 's who will | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
represent us for the next five years. Be on that there are 18 | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
significant district authorities, intruding the giant metal bulletin | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
councils in Birmingham and elsewhere, `` giant councils, it is | :09:51. | :09:59. | |
a very significant test of public opinion. | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
If people thought that was compensated, what about the | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
decorations? Ten of the Mets will be declaring | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
tonight, then the other two Solihull and Wolverhampton will be declaring | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
their results tomorrow night. On Sunday night, we would hear about | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
the European elections when the polls elsewhere in Europe close. | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
And you will have the first of the results later on tonight. | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
That is right. Vote 2014 start after Question Time. We expect have more | :10:41. | :10:54. | |
details at 4:35pm, 1:35pm and by 2:35am we should have the complete | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
picture. Then too. This is our top story tonight: More | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
must be done to protect young people with mental illness, a plea from the | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
family of a 21`year`old who took her own life. | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
Your detailed weather forecast to come shortly. Also in tonight's | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
programme: Sold at auction ` what next for the Birmingham pub at the | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
heart of the hit drama series Peaky Blinders. | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
And small green spears of wonder ` the Vale of Evesham heralds a | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
healthy asparagus crop this season. If you have a story you think we | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
should be covering on Midlands Today, we'd like to hear from you. | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
You can send an email to midlands today at bbc.co.uk. We are also on | :11:37. | :11:47. | |
Facebook or you can tweet us ` @bbcmtd. | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
All this week our science correspondent, David Gregory`Kumar, | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
has been in Switzerland looking at our region's contribution to the | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
CERN project. The giant underground lab has brought discoveries such as | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
the existence of the Higgs boson particle ` the glue that holds | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
everything in the universe together. For his final report, he took a | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
journey around the huge laboratory, looking at the benefits the work | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
there could bring to all of us. CERN is so big. There are fleets of | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
CERN bicycles and even tiny cars to get around between experiments. So, | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
let's take a tour and meet more Midlands scientists. This is the | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
ALICE experiment. Like all of CERN, she's getting an upgrade right now | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
so her doors are open. There's more iron in those red bits than in the | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
Eiffel Tower. She is 10,000 tonnes. Her day job is to recreate and then | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
study conditions that existed moments after the big bang. But | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
doing that brings benefits to the world outside. To do cutting edge | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
research we have to generate cutting edge technology. At CERN the pushing | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
the cutting edge all the time. The technology in `` technology we are | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
using just not exist a couple of years ago. Some of it does not exist | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
yet, we are still working on it. Cutting edge... Pushing technology | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
to its limits is vital to this research. But the scientists know | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
the same technology can also have a huge impact in the world outside the | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
lab. Let's travel to another experiment, LHCb. They want to | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
understand where all the anti matter in our universe disappeared to, but | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
the rescuers also work on uses of this technology outside CERN. `` | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
researchers We have a huge opportunity. Use the RND we are | :13:30. | :13:39. | |
developing and use it with colleagues in other areas. In | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
practice, that means parts developed for this experiment are also used | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
inside high tech cancer treatments in the UK. Finally, were back with | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
Atlas, where they made and measured the Higgs boson. It's what they set | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
out to do. But the young researchers working here see so much more still | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
to investigate. And that means more spin off technology for the rest of | :13:59. | :14:07. | |
us. If you worked in the business world you could have all of the | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
results for the last year and say we did that well. But you would not | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
just up there. You would say, what can we do with these results? How | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
can we make it better in the future? The biggest spin off was the | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
adventure `` invention of the World Wide Web. Who knows what they will | :14:26. | :14:37. | |
do next? Former Hereford United manager | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
Martin Foyle has issued a winding up order against the club. His petition | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
to wind up the club will be heard by the High Court in London on June | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
2nd.Our sports reporter, Dan Pallett, is here. Dan this adds | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
further pressure on the club's owners as they seek new investment. | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
The problems mount, don't they? Yes, it is one problem after the other | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
now. He left the club in March. Hereford United have big financial | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
problems. They have been struggling to pay all wages. Martin Foyle has | :15:08. | :15:16. | |
decided the best way to pay back the money is to turn to the courts. If | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
he is successful, Hereford United will be put into administration. | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
They could leave is little points `` lose league points. Hereford said | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
today, they knew this was coming and they are confident they can deal | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
with it. So new investment or a takeover? What is the latest? We | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
have been waiting for news for two days. The clock is ticking. Hereford | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
survived last season and they hope to play in the Conference on June | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
six. All teams have the show they have enough money to survive the | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
season. Hereford may not have. They have had fundraising. The fans got | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
together and raised ?30,000. They still own `` oh over ?300,000. It's | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
quite simple. If there is not a takeover or an investment, it is | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
bleak. Any idea when we might have an answer? No. These things are very | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
conjugated. One tiny change in a contract must go through all the | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
solicitors. They know the clock is ticking. At the moment we just don't | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
know when there will be a resolution to this. Well, tell us as soon as | :16:42. | :16:50. | |
you do here. Traders in a Shropshire town say, | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
they've been losing business for two months because of appalling mobile | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
phone coverage. Signals are intermittent or nonexistent and now | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
frustration is boiling over. Joanne Writtle's been investigating. | :17:00. | :17:10. | |
Hello? I am struggling like mad to get through to anyone. People are | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
struggling to get through to me. My business card has my mobile, it's | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
personal and people like to get in touch with me any time. | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
For the last two months, people have wandered around Broseley, trying to | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
find a spot to get a phone signal. More specifically, those who use the | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
EE network, which also covers T Mobile and Orange. Very frustrating. | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
I would have more sense to into an orange than to a network. Barmaid | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
Helen Vickers collected 350 names on a petition and sent a copy to EE. I | :17:44. | :17:52. | |
decided I would go around to the local hairdressers and other shops | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
and leave these petitions. As I was going around, they were all telling | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
me the stories. EE told us there was a problem with a mast, adding: | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
"We're very sorry for any inconvenience caused while we fix | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
this issue. We're working on resolving it as a matter of | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
urgency". It was mainly yuppies who had the first mobiles back in the | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
eighties. But they were cumbersome and could be unreliable."Thankfully | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
phones... Internet access too." Thanks Billy are more slimline now. | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
There are more than 80 million mobiles in use in the UK, more than | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
one each for many people. Just over half of us use our mobiles for | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
Internet access to. Unsurprising then that in Broseley, business | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
people are fed up. We are out and about all the time doing valuations | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
and viewings. Customers get used to speaking to us on our mobiles. You | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
are in a middle of a conversation, about an offer, an important | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
conversation and the signal drops out. For now, the only reliable | :18:53. | :19:01. | |
method here is the landline. A pub in Birmingham, which was made | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
famous by the BBC drama Peaky Blinders, sold at auction today for | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
?20,000 more than the guide price. The Garrison was a regular meeting | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
place for the Brummie gangsters in the award winning drama. Holly Lewis | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
has been looking at the impact the series has had on the city. | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
It was here at the Garrison Pub in Smallheath that writer Stephen | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
Knight first heard tales of the Peaky Blinders from his father. | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
Years later, he turned those stories into the acclaimed BBC drama about | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
the gangs who ruled the streets of Birmingham 100 years ago and at the | :19:31. | :19:42. | |
heart of it was the Garrison. Although no filming was done here, | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
one of the actors did visit. This was part of the actor's education in | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
Birmingham culture and accident. The only difference is that sometimes I | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
ought to stand a chance of winning. But the whole idea of the Peaky | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
Blinders has become much bigger than just the programme, Birmingham City | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
fans dressed up like the gangs at the end of the season. The show's | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
historical adviser says, he's not surprised it's catching people's | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
imagination. It is our version of the wild West. The fact that America | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
could turn the real Wild West into something larger than life with its | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
cowboys, why can't Birmingham do the same thing? A group of Digberth | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
residents started running tours of the area associated with the gangs | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
as a result of the drama, there's now 400 people on the writing list | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
and the tour's organiser has joined up with a local publisher to produce | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
a new book. We are starting it was again in September and we are doing | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
a collection of stories. People have passed the stories around in | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
families. That started a history project in the town as well. And | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
other local businesses are hoping to convert the enthusiasm into profit. | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
The Sadlers Ales in Stourbridge started producing a Peaky Blinder | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
beer in March and sold 25,000 pints in the first three weeks. In my | :21:04. | :21:11. | |
mind, it is something that is very regional and appreciated nationally. | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
It is of the moment. There is a great cast within the programme. For | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
us it works perfectly within the brand. The Garrison sold for | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
?183,000, the new owners wouldn't say if it would remain a pub or | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
whether Peaky Blinder might ever be served behind the bar. If you are a | :21:29. | :21:40. | |
fan of the first series, you would like to know that there is a second | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
one being filmed. It will be shown this autumn, may be time for them to | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
perfect the Brummie accent. It's a short season, so lovers of | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
asparagus are keen to make the most of it. Such is its popularity of the | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
vegetable that the harvest has become a major tourist attraction in | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
Worecestershire. There's even an asparagus music festival! And as Ben | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
Sidwell's been finding out there's plenty you can do with this | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
vegetable. They say there is no asparagus that | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
tastes again `` as good as the television's. `` validation. In the | :22:13. | :22:22. | |
last five years the demand for was to share this paragraph `` | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
Worcestershire Asp arrogance `` asparagus has grown. This family | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
have been growing it for 100 years. We headed the dinner and supper. We | :22:39. | :22:51. | |
worked hard on the ground. We almost lived on asparagus at one time. If | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
you think the only way to beat asparagus is a batter think again. | :22:56. | :23:04. | |
Here is the asparagus creme brulee. This chef is taking a vegetable to | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
another level. It is all about playing and having fun. It is not | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
just the creme brulee, there is asparagus in ice cream, cake and | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
bread`and`butter pudding. Down the road, their take on asparagus is | :23:20. | :23:28. | |
very much of the liquid for IT. Probably the limit on some of the | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
things we have got is the tolerance of the human taste buds. Some things | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
are challenging because of the strength of the asparagus flavour. | :23:38. | :23:45. | |
They even make asparagus tea. It is not quite what I had in mind for a | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
cup of tea. Interesting. Not for me exhibition mark with the | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
Worcestershire season due to run into the end of June, there is still | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
plenty of time to get our fill of asparagus. | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
And for more about great food festivals, go to bbc.co.uk/England | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
and search for asparagus. Particular favourites of mine ` the Newent | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
Onion Fayre in Gloucestershire and Pershore's Plum Festival. It will | :24:16. | :24:28. | |
calm down eventually. The contrast between last weekend | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
and this one is 10 degrees and some rain. It's not all bad news. We have | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
got some better news on the way. Saturday will be the wettest day of | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
all. At the weekend wears on, showers will die out. Temperatures | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
will pick up as he tempted by out. Really, average temperatures for | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
this time of year, for May. As to the current the rain, it is still | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
doing some damage. We have some fairly torrential downpours at the | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
moment. There is some localised flooding and some standing water | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
causing travel disruption in places. We can see they are breaking out all | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
over the place. There is slow`moving thundery showers. As one lot | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
disappear, the other moves in from the south`east. A very wet night to | :25:25. | :25:32. | |
come and is a cloud. Temperatures are around ten to 11 Celsius. A | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
fairly mild night. More showers to come from the south`east. | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
Congregating and huddling up on the western part of the region in the | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
afternoon. The East should fare quite well in the afternoon and we | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
could get some sunshine around Gloucestershire. Temperatures could | :25:53. | :26:00. | |
rise to 16 or 17 Celsius, but it could feel quite cool if you are | :26:01. | :26:02. | |
killed in the showers and the breeze. It's fairly relentless `` | :26:03. | :26:14. | |
court thought. The south`east is the area generating the showers. It's | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
not just that you have a lot of them but also the intensity. They could | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
contain some rumbles of thunder. The weekend as a whole is quite wet on | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
Saturday, showers will start to Peter out later on on Saturday. | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
Temperatures are suppressed as a result they will start to pick up on | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
Sunday. If you showers still on Monday. | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
result they will start to pick up on Sunday. If you showers still Ukraine | :26:45. | :26:47. | |

America, they were faced with this - from snow-capped mountains | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
to arid plains and thick forests. The very nature of the American | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
