:01:19. > :01:21.Battalion of the Mercian Regiment held their final parade in Stafford
:01:22. > :01:23.today, before it's disbanded. Formerly the Staffordshire Regiment,
:01:24. > :01:26.the 3rd Battalion, The Merchan Regiment was formed in 2007,
:01:27. > :01:28.recruiting soldiers from Staffordshire, the West Midlands and
:01:29. > :01:30.Birmingham. Since then, thex've spent a total of two and a half
:01:31. > :01:34.years on operations in Afgh`nistan. But in 2012, the Government
:01:35. > :01:37.announced the 3rd battalion would be disbanded by 2016 as part of the
:01:38. > :01:42.restructuring of the British Army. Today was a day of mixed emotions
:01:43. > :01:58.as Lindsay Doyle reports. Welcomed back to Stafford whth

:02:16. > :02:19.lovely. Yeah, very smart. So proud. They have done us, oh just
:02:20. > :02:23.unbelievable. I'm so emotional. Today has been particularly
:02:24. > :02:34.poignant. In line with Army 202 which sees the restructuring of the
:02:35. > :02:44.British Army, the third Mercian is being disbanded. It will merge with
:02:45. > :02:51.the other two Mercians. This is really a merger. The 1st Battalion
:02:52. > :02:57.will be the armoured infantry ba ttalion and the second one hn
:02:58. > :03:02.Chester. A huge opportunity for the soldiers. The parades are a chance
:03:03. > :03:08.for the soldiers to show how the traditions and ties to the community
:03:09. > :03:12.won't be forgotten. The homd coming parades are an important. A chance
:03:13. > :03:16.to say thank you to the towns who supported them whilst in
:03:17. > :03:20.Afghanistan. 90% of the reghment is recruited from from the West
:03:21. > :03:25.Midlands. The support we have had from the local community, across
:03:26. > :03:28.Staffordshire has been tremdndous. It was a long tour. The parcels and

:05:07. > :05:08.the Public Accounts Committde criticised this latest
:05:09. > :05:14.restructuring, it was driven by money. It started off by how much

:07:17. > :07:22.just because of the quantitx of it, a small percentage will be `
:07:23. > :07:26.significant security risk. H have had two young people at Birlingham

:07:46. > :07:49.and doing all the right things to support them. So there are really
:07:50. > :07:53.difficulties that we need to address and that has been combined with the
:07:54. > :07:56.community and the Security Services. If you see the activity going on,
:07:57. > :07:57.please report it to the polhce and Security Services to help them

:08:17. > :08:19.Coventry studio for us now. So Ben what more do we know about his
:08:20. > :08:27.case? In March an 18`year`old went missing
:08:28. > :08:30.and we know that West Midlands counter`terrorism unit are
:08:31. > :08:35.investigating amid allegation that he could be in Syria with ISIS. The
:08:36. > :08:43.police haven't given us his name. I have been speaking to the Coventry
:08:44. > :08:48.Muslim Forum who say if the allegation are true, they are
:08:49. > :08:56.concerned. Some teenagers are feeling ail yaen ated `` alhenated.
:08:57. > :09:00.I wish that all youth growing up a will attend Madrasas in the UK
:09:01. > :09:04.because by doing so they will learn the right Islamic teaching `nd
:09:05. > :09:09.principles and uphold it and will practise Islam in the best way
:09:10. > :09:14.possible. They will then distinguish wh ha is good news and what is bad
:09:15. > :09:19.news in terms of who will influence their future. That sounds lhke the
:09:20. > :09:23.view of moderate Muslims, Bdn. Where do we think the extreme views are
:09:24. > :09:27.coming from? Well, one view is that it is coming from the internet. A
:09:28. > :09:32.self radicalisation at home rather than the mosque. Last week we told
:09:33. > :09:36.you about a 20`year`old frol Birmingham, he skipped bail and
:09:37. > :09:40.ended up in Syria uploading pictures of himself with ISIS. An expert told
:09:41. > :09:45.us in Birmingham today that to suggest the internet is a source of
:09:46. > :09:51.radicalisation is probably wide off the mark. It is certainly a factor,
:09:52. > :09:55.but it is simplistic to see it as the sole driver of this. Thdre is a
:09:56. > :10:02.history of people going abroad to fight in conflicts. Bosnia, Libya,
:10:03. > :10:06.Kashmir, but in the 1930s, xou had 2,000 British men who went to fight
:10:07. > :10:11.in the Spanish Civil War. There wasn't social media around `t that
:10:12. > :10:14.time. It is not certain that these latest investigations involve
:10:15. > :10:18.extremist activities committed, but the authorities are watching. This
:10:19. > :10:22.year alone in the West Midl`nds at least five men and women from
:10:23. > :10:29.Birmingham have been charged with terror related offence ins Syria,
:10:30. > :10:35.but it is a small proportion of the arrests made in the last 18 months.

:14:10. > :14:15.I have been playing around with this. This is a ball of 60 carbon
:14:16. > :14:20.atoms and it is the same structure as a tra dushgal football ``
:14:21. > :14:28.traditional football. What the researchers at Keele have bden doing
:14:29. > :14:32.is give this ball an even longer tail of carbon atoms. With ` few
:14:33. > :14:35.tweaks you can change that. You start playing around with the
:14:36. > :14:47.structure of these bits herd, you can actually then make much larger
:14:48. > :14:50.Assemblies too. We can have gels. They contain fibres about the same
:14:51. > :14:58.thickness of my hair. Within the hair strand as it were or gdl fibre,
:14:59. > :15:03.you have got lots of C`60 columns. Here is the doctor creating some of
:15:04. > :15:07.this gel. Now, if we look at it under a microscope, we can see some
:15:08. > :15:11.of the new fibres inside thd gel itself. If you tweak the chdmistry
:15:12. > :15:17.more, you can start to create regular sheets of these carbon balls
:15:18. > :15:23.and tails and what you get hs a material that's flexible and
:15:24. > :15:28.conducts electricity and it behaves like silicon. Silicon is so
:15:29. > :15:33.fantastic in electronic circuitry, but we are reaching the limhts as to
:15:34. > :15:36.what silicon can do. We need to look to other materials, I'm not saying
:15:37. > :15:45.this is going to offer the alternative to that material, but I
:15:46. > :15:53.think that the method assembling that molecule is important. This
:15:54. > :16:00.model has bendy TV screens. To make things like this, you are going to

:16:53. > :17:12.sacrifice hasn't been properly In the Punjab in Northern India they
:17:13. > :17:19.found willing volunteers. The Sikh had proven himself to be thd most
:17:20. > :17:22.staunchiest, the most bravest, the first versatile prolific soldier
:17:23. > :17:28.that the British Army had come across. Jack's grandfather, pictured
:17:29. > :17:33.on the left, aged just 15, was one of those to answer the call. My
:17:34. > :17:38.grandfather, he was already eager to go. Two previous generations already
:17:39. > :17:44.in the Army, fighting, soldhering battles, that was already in his
:17:45. > :17:50.DNA. He wasn't alone, to begin with 35,000 Sikhs fought beneath the

:18:29. > :18:33.proud that we did or my ancdstors did and my tribe did it so H'm proud
:18:34. > :18:37.in saying that we stood for the right reasons. As the war goes on,
:18:38. > :18:42.they realise they need something thicker. The kit issued to Sikh
:18:43. > :18:47.troops offered scant protection from the freezing mud of the French
:18:48. > :18:51.trenches. The actual Indian officers were complaining about the
:18:52. > :18:54.situation. But as usual, thdy get dismissed because they are not
:18:55. > :18:58.British troops. That's the way they are looking at them which is an
:18:59. > :19:02.awful shame. The men are fighting and dying just the same as dverybody
:19:03. > :19:06.else. In Coventry, Jack's hometown, a
:19:07. > :19:11.memorial commemorates the Shkh contribution. It is inaccessible
:19:12. > :19:17.though, tucked away on a busy roundabout and some feel thdirs is a
:19:18. > :19:24.sacrifice often forgotten. Today, in modern Britain we simply have no
:19:25. > :19:29.recognition of this phenomenal contribution of people who hadn t
:19:30. > :19:35.even set foot in Britain and yet were fighting for Britain. Sikh
:19:36. > :19:37.tradition has it to die on ` battlefield is an honour. Thousands
:19:38. > :19:48.did just that. Wimbledon started today with Dan

:20:08. > :20:13.6`1 down in just 19 minutes. The second set got better. After an
:20:14. > :20:17.early break, down. The third set was best of all. He won that 6`3. He is
:20:18. > :20:21.doing OK and he is back in the match after a terrible start. He never
:20:22. > :20:25.reached the second round? No, never beforeful he had a great run in the
:20:26. > :20:29.US Open where he got to the third round, but he never got to the third

:22:21. > :22:25.supply, yeah. Tomorrow's order for Wimbledon will be leaving hdre later
:22:26. > :22:31.today, but it might be a little light. But there is still more than
:22:32. > :22:33.enough to serve the crowds `nd all we need now is for Andy Murray to
:22:34. > :22:44.serve up a few aces. There is more about how the winners
:22:45. > :22:48.trophies were made in Birmingham. With the Commonwealth Games a month
:22:49. > :22:53.away, hundreds of schoolchildren in Birmingham spent the day ushng it as
:22:54. > :22:57.inspiration to find a sport they love. The Games could help hn the
:22:58. > :23:01.classroom because education experts claim taking part in compethtive
:23:02. > :23:05.sport helps children get better grades.
:23:06. > :23:11.He 700 children from 20 prilary schools across Birmingham. @ll
:23:12. > :23:15.loving a chance to get out of the classroom and into action. This is
:23:16. > :23:20.national schools sport Week. It is designed to get young children of
:23:21. > :23:25.all and abilities a taste of as many sports as possible. We are not here
:23:26. > :23:28.to push kids. That's not wh`t it is about. There are so many different
:23:29. > :23:33.sports out there. I really believe there is a sport or an activity for
:23:34. > :23:40.everybody. Taking part is one thing, making sure they enjoy it is the
:23:41. > :23:46.most important part of the plan I liked doing it. It makes me stronger
:23:47. > :23:52.and I feel better. I enjoy ht so much that I would do it all my life.
:23:53. > :23:58.On a scale of one to ten, about ten. An event like this isn't just great
:23:59. > :24:05.for getting the kids playing sport, Ofsted said there is a link between
:24:06. > :24:13.achievement and competitive sport. One great school I saw after the
:24:14. > :24:17.exam they took part in sport. Release and relax after you have
:24:18. > :24:21.done your exams. Having really great PE teachers and great staff who are
:24:22. > :24:26.really enthusiastic about staff is the key to this working. With just a
:24:27. > :24:32.month to go before the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, every school had a
:24:33. > :24:35.country to represent. With two Commonwealth champions to encourage
:24:36. > :24:37.them as well, the hope is that educational and athletic inspiration
:24:38. > :24:54.will follow. Some disastrous news about Dngland
:24:55. > :24:57.cricket. Chasing 250 to win. 57`5. England are, but Moeen Ali hasn t
:24:58. > :25:02.gone in yet. Moeen Ali of Worcestershire, good luck to him!
:25:03. > :25:06.Time for the weather now. It has been another mainly stunning day
:25:07. > :25:11.unless you experience that had unbelievable storm in Gloucdster.
:25:12. > :25:18.A day that's produced some of the highest temperatures this ydar. So
:25:19. > :25:25.particularly so for southern counties. The values were vdrging on
:25:26. > :25:28.hot in Worcestershire. That has taken its toll on pollen levels
:25:29. > :25:32.which soared as a result of the sunshine and the warmth.
:25:33. > :25:34.Unfortunately for those to drop we have to see a change this
:25:35. > :25:37.conditions. I think we will see those during the second half of the
:25:38. > :25:40.week. High pressure is going to give way to low pressure and that
:25:41. > :25:44.unfortunately is going to bring with it cooler conditions and also some
:25:45. > :25:47.showers perhaps and rain as well by Friday. If we look at that, we can
:25:48. > :25:51.see that the high pressure hs already showing signs of giving way
:25:52. > :25:54.as this cold front starts to slip southwards and this is why we are
:25:55. > :25:59.seeing the thunderstorms brdak out across parts of Gloucestershire So
:26:00. > :26:03.here and southern counties through this even and the first part of
:26:04. > :26:07.tonight, we will see heavy downpours, but there will bd a more
:26:08. > :26:11.substantial system that's moving in from the West and clipping the parts
:26:12. > :26:15.of the south later in the wdek. That's on Friday and that's going to
:26:16. > :26:20.bring in more substantial r`infall. Tonight, it is drying up. Wd have
:26:21. > :26:23.got clearing skies, but there will abbit of cloud `` will be a bit of
:26:24. > :26:28.cloud to hold the temperatures up to 13 Celsius. Still warm. The coolest
:26:29. > :26:31.spot will be the south`west where temperatures drop to 10 Celsius We
:26:32. > :26:35.could see some isolated mist patches developing into the morning
:26:36. > :26:39.tomorrow, but under the strdngth of the sunshine which will bre`kthrough
:26:40. > :26:44.by daybreak it should disperse quickly. So it is another vdry
:26:45. > :26:48.pleasant day for most of it, it is largely dry with sunny spells. The
:26:49. > :26:51.cloud starting to drift southwards during the afternoon as another
:26:52. > :26:54.system starts to roll in from the north and this is just going to lead
:26:55. > :26:58.to some fairly sharp showers breaking out across parts of the
:26:59. > :27:05.north`east. They are largelx light and they are not particularly heavy,
:27:06. > :27:10.but for most of us, dry and temperatures rising to 20 or 22
:27:11. > :27:14.Celsius. Temperatures dropphng to 10 Celsius widely and this is going to
:27:15. > :27:16.ring the changes for the rest of the week. Chilly nights and chilly
:27:17. > :27:28.starts, but largely dry. The headlines:
:27:29. > :27:38.A third British Jihadist fe`tured in an ISIS video urging Muslims to
:27:39. > :27:43.travel to Iraq has named locally. The old Staffords march through
:27:44. > :27:46.their county town one last time That's it for now. I will bd back at
