the Turner Prize in 1999. Christie's said it had been bought by an | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
There will have to be an election for a new commissioner. | :00:09. | :00:29. | |
Just yesterday our cameras were filming Bob Jones at work, attending | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
He was at a public meeting to debate the so`called | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
Government officials have constantly linked the police to | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
the investigations but Bob Jones was always happy to speak | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
Our greatest ally in the fight against counter`terrorism, | :00:49. | :00:59. | |
the community themselves are not as confident the police are getting | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
This is an issue the education authorities need to resolve. | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
Bob Jones was the first to be elected Police and Crime | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
He was regarded as the country's most knowledgeable commissioner. | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
Today at Police Headquarters the news of | :01:17. | :01:17. | |
The most important thing for him was being the voice of the community. | :01:18. | :01:26. | |
Not his voice, his voice was not important. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
He would often say it is what the people want. | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
The Crime Commissioner sets the police targets and holds the police | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
to account ` some chief constables have fallen out with their new | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
political masters but Chris Sims and Bob Jones made the new role work: | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
No one has a bigger Democratic task in trying to connect with 2.6 | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
million people across the West Midlands in often sensitive and | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
difficult areas and he was literally out day and night meeting people, | :01:54. | :02:06. | |
holding summits, no one could have worked harder. Bob Jones famously | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
said his job should be scrapped ` calling it too expensive and flawed. | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Yet his success at making it work will leave a huge void: | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
Today in Wolverhampton people were remembering a local councillor who'd | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Aged just 59 Bob Jones was a man who many counted as a friend. | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Tonight his widow Sarah said that he also loved | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
his family more than anything else in the world and they loved him. | :02:31. | :02:40. | |
He was a great champion of all that was best in British policing. He | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
worked hard in the West Midlands, having to cope with a thousand | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
police officers who had been cut but maintaining local policing. | :02:54. | :03:02. | |
Ironically, he was against the concept of Police and Crime | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
Commissioners, wasn't he? He took the view that having commissioners | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
was not a wise move but elections were held. He was one of the very | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
best commissioners. I learned valuable lessons from him. He | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
believed in accountability of the police service and he was good at | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
exercising authority. What is his legacy would you say? A man who made | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
a real difference in 30 years of public life and a man who was Police | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
and Crime Commissioners and stood up for what people want which is | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
neighbourhood policing, safety and security in their homes and in the | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
streets where they live. He will be remembered with great fondness and | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
affection and for a remarkable set of achievements throughout his | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
lifetime in public service. A man has tonight been charged with | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
killing his ex partner and the attempted murder | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
of two children in Birmingham. 42 year old Luan Leigh was found | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
dead at her home in Pype Hayes A 15 year old boy and a 9 year | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
old girl were also attacked. Andrew Leigh, who's also 42, | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
is due to appear Tougher punishments for | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
fly`tipping came into force today. Offenders can now face jail | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
and fines of up to ?3 million. Last year 711,000 cases were | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
dealt with across the country. The estimated cost of clearing | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
up the mess was ?36 million. Bob Hockenhull reports | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
from the Enville estate near Stourbridge where fly`tipping | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
is a weekly occurrence. This country track may seem idyllic | :04:37. | :04:50. | |
on a summers day but this is how it looked a few months ago, completely | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
blocked by contaminated waste led by flight tippers. These gates were | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
smashed and 33 times of pre`sorted material, or contaminated, were | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
dumped here in this beautiful woodland setting. The estate spent | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
?7,000 getting the rubbish cleared up but it is an ongoing battle as | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
rubbish is dumped on a weekly basis. The estate hopes introduction of | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
stricter penalties will deter criminals. Until today the light of | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
us could often expect a fine of just ?200. The sentencing council says | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
that is too lenient. New guidelines mean those caught are far more | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
likely to go to jail or a period of 18 months. Yet more waste discovered | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
on the estate today. The local council is looking for clues as to | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
who dumped it. The good message now is that there are clear guidelines | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
setting out where magistrates should be looking and taking a more serious | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
approach to this blight on the countryside. The authorities stress | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
the need more information from the public if they are to stop flight | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
tippers ruining our beautiful countryside. `` flight tippers. | :06:16. | :06:24. | |
Finally, a pregnant woman shocked shoppers in Birmingham City Centre | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
this afternoon when she went into labour on the pavement. | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
It happened outside the Primark clothing store on New Street. | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
Ambulance crews arrived in time for the birth of a baby girl. | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
Mother and daughter are said to be doing well. | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
I've leave you now with the weather from Shefali. | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
At the end of fairly decent day you can rest assured we'll see at least | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
the same but most probably better even better tomorrow ` possibly | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
So in preparation for that the skies are already clearing ` | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
just a bit of cloud floating around but a warm one with a minimum | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
of ten but for most 13 or 14C and by dawn tomorrow ` hardly a wisp of | :07:00. | :07:09. | |
A beautiful sunny morning tomorrow ` brimming with sunshine | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
which will be the catalyst to those soaring temperatures. | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
We expect to reach a maximum of 24C but maybe even higher for the | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
southwest of the region with light to moderate southwesterly winds. | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
Those values may be knocked back a degree or two after that | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
as cloud increases hand in hand with some rain from Thursday | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
The national forecast is next ` here's | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
more cloud on Friday. None of this survives into the weekend, some rain | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
around on Saturday. It's certainly been a feast of | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
football again. The temperature in S?o Paulo was much the same as we | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
had in Glasgow and Bristol. Here, temperatures are set to climb higher | :07:48. | :07:50. |
