:00:14. > :00:14.Welcome to Midlands today. New wet and chilly day.

:00:15. > :00:19.Welcome to Midlands today. New governors tried but failed to get

:00:20. > :00:22.into run and Islamic faith school as parents protest. Speak ill of the

:00:23. > :00:27.education authority is coming down without the consent of the parents

:00:28. > :00:30.or consulting the parents. Also tonight, a month until the

:00:31. > :00:35.Commonwealth Games, the Queen's Baton arrives in Birmingham after

:00:36. > :00:42.travelling around the world. If we can inspire people, to take up

:00:43. > :00:48.sport, we have done our job. His quest is to be the man with

:00:49. > :00:54.perfect looks, but should we be paying for it?

:00:55. > :00:56.A cliff hanger between England and Sri Lanka at Edgbaston tomorrow.

:00:57. > :01:00.But will they get much play? Even though we're now in June

:01:01. > :01:03.and after a weekend with scenes like this,

:01:04. > :01:06.we just can't shake those showers. There will be some sunny spells this

:01:07. > :01:07.week, but it's looking rather wet too.

:01:08. > :01:14.I'll have all the details later. There's a standoff

:01:15. > :01:24.tonight at an Islamic faith school which has been accused

:01:25. > :01:26.of failing pupils. A team from Birmingham City Council

:01:27. > :01:30.arrived this afternoon to take over the school,

:01:31. > :01:31.but they were denied entry. This morning, parents protested

:01:32. > :01:38.in support of Al Hirjah school. It's reportedly at least ?400,000

:01:39. > :01:40.in the red. Ofsted inspectors found some

:01:41. > :01:41.teaching was There was also criticism that plans

:01:42. > :01:45.to improve were Giles Latcham has been

:01:46. > :01:49.following today's developments. Protesting parents at Al Hijrah

:01:50. > :01:51.in Bordesley Green, awaiting the arrival of new governors expected to

:01:52. > :01:55.take over the running of the school. This group told us they're

:01:56. > :02:02.not wanted or needed. The LEA and the education authority

:02:03. > :02:05.are coming in without the consent of the parents,

:02:06. > :02:07.without consulting the parents and trying to take over, which is

:02:08. > :02:11.a major concern for our children. The school is not a failing school,

:02:12. > :02:14.it is an outstanding school, It's an Islamic faith school

:02:15. > :02:18.which boasts exam results far But Ofsted have put it

:02:19. > :02:21.in special measures,criticising But Ofsted have put it

:02:22. > :02:23.in special measures, criticising If a new board's to come in, the

:02:24. > :02:28.current Chairman of Governors wants a three`week delay

:02:29. > :02:30.until exams are over. With the local authority,

:02:31. > :02:33.I hope they have come around the table and agreed a smoother

:02:34. > :02:40.and more professional handover. normal, there are nearly 750 pupils

:02:41. > :02:45.here. And some of them are Of course every school has

:02:46. > :02:49.its ups and downs, I'm not going to deny that, but

:02:50. > :02:53.overall, it is a positive school and I love it here, otherwise I wouldn't

:02:54. > :02:56.be here in the first place. The interim executive board, that is

:02:57. > :02:59.the new governors, did arrive at twenty to two this

:03:00. > :03:01.afternoon after all the cameramen and

:03:02. > :03:03.reporters had left. They were refused entry

:03:04. > :03:05.by the existing governors, And the parents who have

:03:06. > :03:10.come back to the school are I was really disappointed that the

:03:11. > :03:16.IAB, the Board of Governors, which I've actually got concerns

:03:17. > :03:23.about the board not being balanced. And there's anger too about city

:03:24. > :03:26.council figures suggesting the school may be in debt by as much as

:03:27. > :03:29.a million pounds. Obviously,

:03:30. > :03:32.there are two sides to the story but at the end of the day, we know we

:03:33. > :03:36.are not in deficit by that amount. If the city council is the holder

:03:37. > :03:39.of the cheque`books, then it is the city council to be

:03:40. > :03:42.blamed at the end. Pupils are sitting exams this week

:03:43. > :03:45.that will help shape their future. The future for their school is far

:03:46. > :03:57.from certain. Well, Giles is outside the school

:03:58. > :04:04.right now. It is a bit of a stand`off, what happens now?

:04:05. > :04:09.Certainly, it is an impasse. We hoped to speak to the leader of the

:04:10. > :04:13.cancelled tonight, he didn't want to appear on television. On the radio

:04:14. > :04:18.this morning, he said the situation here was out of control and it

:04:19. > :04:21.cannot be allowed to continue. The interim Board of Governors a

:04:22. > :04:26.statement in which they said parents had been informed of the changes and

:04:27. > :04:34.their appointment is crucial to the rapid improvement space they need to

:04:35. > :04:38.be affected here. They say as to regards today's events, they were

:04:39. > :04:42.refused entry and have been to consider their options. The OFSTED

:04:43. > :04:47.report came out in February and this is taking an embarrassingly long

:04:48. > :04:53.time to sort out. We have heard about concern surrounding some

:04:54. > :04:58.Birmingham schools, particularly the Trojan horse plot to infiltrate

:04:59. > :05:04.schools with Muslim activists. What is happening there? It is important

:05:05. > :05:08.to point out that Al Hirjah forms no part of that, it is a Muslim faith

:05:09. > :05:13.school and the Trojan horse is about secular schools that it is suggested

:05:14. > :05:17.could be run on religious principles. The OFSTED report

:05:18. > :05:22.focuses on 20 but the remedial report says Sikh schools could be

:05:23. > :05:26.put into special measures as a confidence that smash Sikh schools

:05:27. > :05:29.could be put into special measures. Already seeing allegations and

:05:30. > :05:36.counter allegations about what schools did not do about it. ``6

:05:45. > :05:54.celebrating the birth of the bard, and a royal welcome for Prince

:05:55. > :05:58.Charles in Stratford. The Queen's Baton arrived in Birmingham today

:05:59. > :06:03.after visiting 68 countries. It is heading to Glasgow for the beginning

:06:04. > :06:08.of the Commonwealth Games. It has arrived in centenary square and

:06:09. > :06:12.Holly Lewis is there. Is everything running to schedule? Absolutely, the

:06:13. > :06:16.bat on arrived here about 20 minutes ago. You can't quite see it but it

:06:17. > :06:21.is currently going around the sporting stands you can see behind

:06:22. > :06:27.me and it is being greeted by an impedance and Paralympian is who are

:06:28. > :06:34.in courage and people to have a go at sports they have not tried before

:06:35. > :06:36.`` Olympians and Paralympians who are encouraging people. Amy Cole has

:06:37. > :06:38.been watching the progress today. This is the moment the Queen's Baton

:06:39. > :06:41.came to Birmingham. Carried by the city's former Olympic

:06:42. > :06:43.swimmer Adam Ruckwood. He then handed it over to

:06:44. > :06:46.Pritesh Pattni, a man who has dedicated the past 25 years to

:06:47. > :06:50.helping young people take up sport. We represent the community and also

:06:51. > :06:53.sport in this city and by holding this baton, I have got to say,

:06:54. > :06:57.it is still really sinking in at the moment, but if we can inspire

:06:58. > :07:00.people, especially young people, to take up sport, then we

:07:01. > :07:03.have done our job really today. I went to three Commonwealth Games

:07:04. > :07:07.and was lucky enough to win three medals, one of them being gold,

:07:08. > :07:10.so being asked to carry the baton The baton arrived in England

:07:11. > :07:15.on Saturday and has been delighting It'll travel to major cities over

:07:16. > :07:21.the next two weeks before reaching Scotland,

:07:22. > :07:27.with Glasgow its final destination. Back in Birmingham and for Adam and

:07:28. > :07:31.Pritesh, there was no time to stop ` hundreds of local schoolchildren

:07:32. > :07:33.were waiting to meet them at Sunset Park, thrilled to be

:07:34. > :07:37.part of it. Everyone's just excited and happy

:07:38. > :07:55.about this, wealth games, and people Everyone's just excited and happy

:07:56. > :07:58.about this Commonwealth Games, and Excited and, like ,

:07:59. > :08:02.my heart was pumping fast. is a great opportunity to see the

:08:03. > :08:06.baton. It is so much fun. And she wasn't the only one having

:08:07. > :08:09.a good time. who's already had a lot

:08:10. > :08:13.of success in her chosen field. This is a big day

:08:14. > :08:16.for the young athlete. Laura Samuel is currently

:08:17. > :08:18.showing off her baton. She is a British junior triple jump

:08:19. > :08:21.champion and she trains I got involved through my school

:08:22. > :08:26.and getting involved in sport and I think it is really important for

:08:27. > :08:34.children to be pushed towards sport. And at Centenary Square, there are

:08:35. > :08:36.plenty of sporting activities When you have

:08:37. > :08:40.a look at the variety of different sports that are here, it makes it

:08:41. > :08:44.more real for the kids, I think. We are from Glasgow and we thought

:08:45. > :08:48.we would watch it and then bring And thousands more are

:08:49. > :09:06.expected to do the same. What happens to the baton tonight? I

:09:07. > :09:14.have someone with me who can answer that, Andrew Foster from

:09:15. > :09:18.Commonwealth Games England. Does it go on tonight? It moves to Bristol

:09:19. > :09:22.and then to Plymouth and then to Kent and then to London. The great

:09:23. > :09:26.thing about being in Birmingham today is Birmingham took the baton

:09:27. > :09:32.to the people, in the parks, hundreds of kids got behind the

:09:33. > :09:36.baton and the Games. Now tonight, people are getting a chance to

:09:37. > :09:41.participate, giving it a try. What we want people to do is to get

:09:42. > :09:46.behind the England team for the games. They have done it today, we

:09:47. > :09:52.want everybody behind, the biggest and best prepared 450 people who go

:09:53. > :09:56.to Glasgow when it starts on the 23rd of July. And do you think this

:09:57. > :10:01.kind of thing inspires the Commonwealth Games champions of the

:10:02. > :10:06.future? Definitely, the baton, seeing stars of the past and stars

:10:07. > :10:10.of the future is the thing that inspires kids to give it a try and

:10:11. > :10:15.get behind it and see if they can do it. As you heard, the baton

:10:16. > :10:23.continues around Britain and it will be in Scotland for the home run

:10:24. > :10:26.until the games start on the 23rd. Speechwriter specialist firefighters

:10:48. > :10:50.at 10:25pm. Prince Charles will be brushing up

:10:51. > :10:52.on his Shakespeare tonight after being guest of honour at the

:10:53. > :10:55.Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford`upon`Avon.

:10:56. > :10:58.He's spent the day in Warwickshire, looking at the county's connections

:10:59. > :11:01.with our greatest playwright, as well as making several other visits.

:11:02. > :11:05.There is some flash photography in this report.

:11:06. > :11:10.Shakespeare had a lot to say about princes and royalty and today, the

:11:11. > :11:15.prince who will one day be cliff visited the RSC to celebrate the

:11:16. > :11:20.playwright's 450th birthday year. We were over there and we got told to

:11:21. > :11:25.come over here. It was great to see him. We don't have a printer

:11:26. > :11:29.recurring figure back home, so it is a great experience. Students from

:11:30. > :11:32.across the country went on to entertain his Royal Highness with

:11:33. > :11:37.their favourite Shakespearean one`liners. If you start with

:11:38. > :11:42.Shakespeare before you have hit cynical, as young teenagers tend to

:11:43. > :11:47.do, if you are grabbed by this story is, by the language, the characters,

:11:48. > :11:52.you a passport through your life and I think Prince Charles understands

:11:53. > :11:55.that very well. At King Edward VI School, where the young William

:11:56. > :11:58.Shakespeare was a pupil, Prince Charles relived the Bard's

:11:59. > :12:05.Schooldays. They weren't paying attention to the teacher. Opening a

:12:06. > :12:08.special unit at the Shakespeare Hospice, Prince Charles paid tribute

:12:09. > :12:17.to everyone who supports hospice care. We owed the huge deal of

:12:18. > :12:22.gratitude to the people who make the hospices in this country such a

:12:23. > :12:32.wonderful feature and offer the palliative crap. And `` palliative

:12:33. > :12:36.care. It is the children helped by the care that the Prince is most

:12:37. > :12:49.interested in. Has it made a difference? To Rubin and myself,

:12:50. > :12:54.yes. It has made a lot. Speak `` I was very nervous then and I'm very

:12:55. > :12:58.nervous now. He was much nicer than I expected, and I expected him to

:12:59. > :13:04.just say, I am Prince Charles, that is it, goodbye. But he was

:13:05. > :13:08.interested in what we had to say. At Warwick School, 1100 pupils gave a

:13:09. > :13:20.roar to the Prince for celebrating their 100th anniversary.

:13:21. > :13:25.The top story tonight: As parents protest, new governors try and fail

:13:26. > :13:28.to move in to run a Birmingham Islamic faith school.

:13:29. > :13:33.Rebecca is here soon with the detailed weather forecast, including

:13:34. > :13:38.details for the cricket tomorrow. Also tonight... Meet my friend, who

:13:39. > :13:43.has been trained to help us search for a wild animal that is so great,

:13:44. > :13:50.we actually thought it is extinct. And the story of two police ``

:13:51. > :13:52.peaceloving brothers from the Cadbury family who chose very

:13:53. > :13:57.different paths in World War I. Perfection is his stated aim and

:13:58. > :14:00.Sam Barton isn't done yet. He's paid for most

:14:01. > :14:03.of the plastic surgery he's had out of his own pocket, although the NHS

:14:04. > :14:06.has picked up some of the bill. Ben Sidwell has been to meet

:14:07. > :14:10.the retail worker who doesn't object to being described as Britain's

:14:11. > :14:13.vainest man. Sam Barton's a man who likes to

:14:14. > :14:26.stand out from the crowd. I think everyone's has their own

:14:27. > :14:29.idea of perfection and I'm just trying to achieve mine. So when I

:14:30. > :14:34.finally feel comfortable and I look in the mirror and I think, you look

:14:35. > :14:38.all right, that is when all stop. Until then, I'll keep going.

:14:39. > :14:41.The 22`year`old from Sutton Coldfield was so unhappy with his

:14:42. > :14:50.The value of his cosmetic treatments so far is ?50,000.

:14:51. > :15:00.Does it become addictive? Yes. There was a point where I would probably

:15:01. > :15:06.go without food to make sure I had my Botox and if I didn't have a tan,

:15:07. > :15:10.I would feel ill. I wouldn't want to leave the house. It sounds so

:15:11. > :15:15.stupid, I know, but it does become so addictive. Anything can be

:15:16. > :15:19.addictive, I suppose. Labelled the Venice man in Britain, Sam has paid

:15:20. > :15:24.the most of the work himself. Botox, teeth, fillers and eyebrows,

:15:25. > :15:31.although his corrective nose job was on the NHS. It seems that Sam is not

:15:32. > :15:33.alone, it seems that as men are becoming more vain and turning to

:15:34. > :15:37.treatment like Botox and cosmetic surgery.

:15:38. > :15:40.Also based in Sutton Coldfield, this aesthetic clinic have seen

:15:41. > :15:44.plenty of young men like Sam come through the door recently.

:15:45. > :15:50.As time is gone by and we have got more experienced and learned more

:15:51. > :15:54.about the various techniques, we can do things for both sexes and I am

:15:55. > :16:01.finding that whereas ten years ago, 5% of my patients were men, it is

:16:02. > :16:04.close to 25% now. If there wasn't a cost to surgery, I don't think there

:16:05. > :16:08.would be a stopping point, where I would say that is enough. I would

:16:09. > :16:11.always find something else. But unfortunately, there is a cost to

:16:12. > :16:23.surgery and there will be a point where I have to stop but as long as

:16:24. > :16:27.I can carry on, I will carry on. Ben is hoping one day he will be happy

:16:28. > :16:31.with his luck. Until then, all his money will go on trying to make him

:16:32. > :16:42.perfect. We have a few of your comments here.

:16:43. > :16:53.Just one word comment from Catherine Louise Ward. And this one says...

:16:54. > :17:02.Thanks to all of you who got in touch.

:17:03. > :17:04.A century ago, two members of Birmingham's chocolate`making

:17:05. > :17:06.Cadbury family faced a daunting dilemma in World War One.

:17:07. > :17:09.As Quakers, they fundamentally opposed war and killing.

:17:10. > :17:12.But while Laurence Cadbury opted to save lives in an ambulance unit,

:17:13. > :17:14.his brother Egbert decided to fight and became a pilot.

:17:15. > :17:17.The BBC has been given access to private letters

:17:18. > :17:21.and has shown them to descendants of the two men for the first time.

:17:22. > :17:28.Laurence and Egbert Cadbury's family were famous for making chocolate

:17:29. > :17:41.and as pacifist Quakers, for being against war.

:17:42. > :17:44.This was a problem for two young brothers who were keen

:17:45. > :17:47.to do their bit for the country in World War One.

:17:48. > :17:50.How could they without being at odds with their faith?

:17:51. > :17:53.He was a rebel, set apart to be different.

:17:54. > :17:56.Justin Cadbury's grandfather Egbert volunteered to become a Royal Navy

:17:57. > :18:00.Along with his gunner Bob Leckie, Bertie shot down the last Zeppelin

:18:01. > :18:13.He spoke to the BBC about it after the war. Bob Leckey gave a burst of

:18:14. > :18:20.tracer bullets and within seconds, flames started shooting about, her

:18:21. > :18:23.nose dropped and she went down in a mass of flames.

:18:24. > :18:36.has heard this story as his never spoke to him about it.

:18:37. > :18:40.`` his grandfather. I can't say any words to compare with what I just

:18:41. > :18:44.heard, it is extraordinary. Bertie's elder brother Laurence was

:18:45. > :18:46.at the front within months Instead he was there to

:18:47. > :19:05.save lives as a founding member He wouldn't be put off by any of the

:19:06. > :19:10.things he saw. He had a strong stomach. It is not a story his son

:19:11. > :19:13.knows either, but the BBC has been given access to the brothers' War

:19:14. > :19:18.letters and, using actors, have brought them to lie. They were

:19:19. > :19:22.smashed and bleeding, choking, making awful noises in their

:19:23. > :19:27.throats. We then learned for the first time of the asphyxiating

:19:28. > :19:31.fumes. The private papers show Lawrence almost joined the Army and

:19:32. > :19:35.spoke at his shame of being a noncombatant. He, as a volunteer,

:19:36. > :19:40.would have found it difficult, I think, to come to terms with the

:19:41. > :19:45.fact that he was seen in any way to be ducking his responsibilities. And

:19:46. > :19:50.that was not him. At the same time, the letters show Bertie questioned

:19:51. > :19:53.his own decision to fight, but both were decorated for their bravery and

:19:54. > :20:02.returned home to help run the family firm, now famous around the world.

:20:03. > :20:11.It is fascinating. You can see the full story tonight as part of the

:20:12. > :20:16.BBC's World War I at home series. Your BBC local radio station will

:20:17. > :20:21.have more from where you live all this week at 8:15 a.m..

:20:22. > :20:23.Cricket and England play Sri Lanka in a series`deciding

:20:24. > :20:24.one`day international at Edgbaston tomorrow.

:20:25. > :20:30.It's a vital match for England as they look to rebuild after

:20:31. > :20:33.And it's also important for Edgbaston `

:20:34. > :20:36.a ground deprived of Test cricket for a second consecutive summer.

:20:37. > :20:47.England are back in town, but can they put Edgbaston back on the map.

:20:48. > :20:50.Warwickshire will host just three days of international cricket this

:20:51. > :20:55.summer will stop the fact that this game will decide the series is a

:20:56. > :20:58.bonus. It has been a really topsy`turvy series and both sides,

:20:59. > :21:02.when they are playing well, are very attractive teams to watch, so

:21:03. > :21:05.hopefully, both get them playing well at the same time with a good

:21:06. > :21:08.crowd and good atmosphere cheering England home. There are two

:21:14. > :21:17.Chris Woakes is still waiting for his chance. And it will be hard to

:21:18. > :21:23.break into a team after Saturday's dramatic game at Lord's. A stunning

:21:24. > :21:27.century from Joss Butler nearly pushed England to the target of

:21:28. > :21:34.301, but they fell seven runs short, leaving the series at 2`2. We would

:21:35. > :21:38.love to win, it would be great. We would love it but if you're go into

:21:39. > :21:43.any contest, you have to accept that if they play well, you take it on

:21:44. > :21:49.the chin. A crowd of 15,000 is expected but tickets remain on sale.

:21:50. > :21:52.You can sit here side onto the action for ?38 weight appear for

:21:53. > :21:58.?80. So it is a good moneyspinner for Warwickshire but not if it

:21:59. > :22:03.rains. If fewer than ten overs bowled, everybody gets a full

:22:04. > :22:07.refund. Fewer than 25 and people get half the money back. Today is

:22:08. > :22:11.sunny, but rain is forecast tomorrow. So far, the focus has been

:22:12. > :22:17.wronged evidently time, so I hope it is consistent. The forecast is the

:22:18. > :22:19.forecast. Sri Lanka were in the mood for football this afternoon but both

:22:20. > :22:27.England and Warwickshire hope everyone is talking about the

:22:28. > :22:32.cricket come tomorrow night. That have a look at Spring watch now

:22:33. > :22:40.possible comeback in Ferrera mammal once thought to be extinct in this

:22:41. > :22:45.region `` and in Shropshire. Tracking down the elusive Pine

:22:46. > :22:49.Marten, and as our correspondent discovered, using high`tech cameras

:22:50. > :22:54.and the only Pine Martin sniffer dog in the world.

:22:55. > :22:57.And here she is. This is lunar, and she is joining us deep into

:22:58. > :23:12.Shropshire would on the hunt for Pine Martins. We have your cameras,

:23:13. > :23:15.we have a dog, let's go. Pine Martins members of the stud weasel

:23:16. > :23:22.family and all around the size of cuts, quite big `` stoat weasel

:23:23. > :23:26.family and are around the size of cuts. A tale which is approximately

:23:27. > :23:31.two thirds the length of its body. Pine Martins were thought to be

:23:32. > :23:35.extinct in the Midlands for more than half a century but a small

:23:36. > :23:40.population survived over the border in Wales and Stuart thinks they are

:23:41. > :23:46.coming back. We have had the siting of a dead one, collected by a

:23:47. > :23:49.Wildlife Trust and proven to be born in Wales, because it was a juvenile,

:23:50. > :23:57.so there is evidence there is a population big enough in Wales to

:23:58. > :24:03.actually be breeding. If they then breed the young will have to come

:24:04. > :24:07.this way in search of territory. So while Luna keeps looking, here is

:24:08. > :24:10.the other part of the search. High`tech cameras scattered

:24:11. > :24:18.throughout the world. This is the camera. A brilliant design. The

:24:19. > :24:21.first mammal in the session, a squirrel, unsurprisingly. Another

:24:22. > :24:28.squirrel. And that was it. The squirrel has taken it on this one.

:24:29. > :24:31.Pine Martins are really hard to find and so far, none of the cameras has

:24:32. > :24:38.caught a glimpse of one, but of course, there is also our furry

:24:39. > :24:43.detecting friend. Luna is detected to find their faeces. She is coming

:24:44. > :24:49.today, she will search a large area, and will indicate any scat she

:24:50. > :24:54.finds. That can vary, it can be lying down. Sometimes she might just

:24:55. > :24:58.freeze and she will look at me to indicate she has found something.

:24:59. > :25:03.Compare to the cameras, Luna has been more successful and has found

:25:04. > :25:09.scat she thinks is Pine Marten. A follow`up DNA tests have been

:25:10. > :25:13.inconclusive. Stewart, though, isn't downhearted. The chances of seeing a

:25:14. > :25:17.Pine Marten, even if there were ten here, you wouldn't see one, it is

:25:18. > :25:23.like looking for a needle in a haystack but I'm not daunted, I will

:25:24. > :25:29.keep continuing the search. Soave in Shropshire? Luna is going to make

:25:30. > :25:32.more return visit `` Soave in Shropshire. Although we haven't seen

:25:33. > :25:40.any today, with their help and with more people helping online, if they

:25:41. > :25:44.are here, we will find them. And David's blog has details about

:25:45. > :25:51.how you can help search for the Pine Marten.

:25:52. > :25:54.I dread to ask this, but such a spine tingling cricket match coming

:25:55. > :25:58.up at Edgbaston, we do need the sunshine and no rain. Here is

:25:59. > :26:02.Rebecca. In meteorological terms, we are in

:26:03. > :26:06.summer, which of course means it is going to rain. We have had a wet

:26:07. > :26:10.spring and as we head into tomorrow, not much improvement. We will get

:26:11. > :26:14.some sunny spells through the day but we have got some showers later

:26:15. > :26:18.in the afternoon. Not at the news you want to hear if you are off to

:26:19. > :26:22.Edgbaston. It is going to be a day when we get heavy, slow moving

:26:23. > :26:24.showers, so we could see play interrupted through the afternoon

:26:25. > :26:29.but there will be a reasonable amount of the Sun plays its part. We

:26:30. > :26:33.have some cloud over as today. Some showers working their way in from

:26:34. > :26:37.the West as well. The cloud has broken up a little bit. Through this

:26:38. > :26:45.evening, some late afternoon sunshine in pockets and those

:26:46. > :26:50.showers continuing overnight, said temperatures not falling too far.

:26:51. > :26:56.Quite a mile bike to come. Between 11`13dC `` a mild night. It should

:26:57. > :26:59.break up a little more than it has today. We should get spells of

:27:00. > :27:03.sunshine which will be enough to trigger those heavy showers through

:27:04. > :27:07.the day. They start to come through and by the afternoon, they will be

:27:08. > :27:11.slow`moving. If you experience one, you will know about it. Certainly

:27:12. > :27:15.feeling pleasant. Still some sunshine to end the day. Showers

:27:16. > :27:19.continuing overnight and it is not long before we start to see this

:27:20. > :27:24.area of heavy rain working its way up from the south, Wednesday not

:27:25. > :27:25.looking pleasant at all. Heavy rain and temperatures struggling but an

:27:26. > :27:27.looking pleasant at all. Heavy rain and temperatures struggling but an

:27:28. > :27:31.improvement by Thursday. The headlines tonight, an

:27:32. > :27:35.investigation finds sexual abuse victims of the DJ Jimmy Savile could

:27:36. > :27:41.now number over 500, the youngest being two years old. And parents

:28:05. > :28:11...he landed... ..and in a flurry

:28:12. > :28:23.of feathers, they were gone. But that isn't quite

:28:24. > :28:25.the end of the story. Perhaps you'll dream

:28:26. > :28:27.of a great adventure. 'I'm going on an adventure.'

:28:28. > :28:39.Wow. That is a long way.

:28:40. > :28:42.Quite a bit of it is on bikes. What are you going to do

:28:43. > :28:45.about your hair? They told me I had good technique,

:28:46. > :28:49.I'm quite happy with that.
