very much. That's all from the BBC News at Six. Goodbye from | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
Feeling the suffering of their compatriots ` Yazidis talk of their | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
horror at events back home in Northern Iraq | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
We'll be reporting live from Coventry, where members of the | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Yazidi community are holding a crisis meeting. Also tonight: | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
A desperate search for donors as time starts to run out for two young | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
people with rare forms of cancer. Struggling to cope ` the Potteries | :00:26. | :00:28. | |

It seems like your debt is never paid off. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Prove your food has been grown locally ` strict rules bringing | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
record business for a farmers market. | :00:43. | :00:43. | |
And nothing more super than a supermoon on a clear night. But that | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
was Sunday's highlight. Tomorrow, it's the Perseid meteor showers at | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
their peak, but will you be able to see them? Find out later. | :00:50. | :01:22. | |
Members of the Yazidi community say they've been traumatised by the | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
Up to 400 followers of the persecuted sect have made | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
They've watched with mounting horror as Yazidis flee extremists | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Our reporter Sarah Falkland is with some families tonight. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
I don't think they are coping well. It is very frustrating for them. | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
Some men here tonight have been glued to the television screens as | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
their wives are at home watching the horror is an fold in Iraq and | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
powerless to do anything. Many of them are here in Coventry, having | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
come over after the second Gulf War and have extended family there. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Today our reporter spent time with the community. | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
Jamil Shardeen Darwish arrived in Coventry 11 years ago, leaving loved | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
TRANSLATION: Family is my blood, we have more than 100 family there. | :02:08. | :02:21. | |
Many of them have run away to Syria, to the mountains, some of them we do | :02:22. | :02:22. | |
not know where they are. The father of seven is seen | :02:23. | :02:33. | |
as a head of the Yazidi community in Coventry, which is planning to | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
travel to Downing Street to hold a peaceful demonstration calling | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
for more British aid to help the TRANSLATION: We have a lot of people | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
in the mountains but still are people there are very weak, they | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
have gone ten days without food can, `` without food, but we are | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
trying to say, the send help, anything is a help. `` please send | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
help. Hundreds of Yazidis have | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
been killed or kidnapped. Tens of thousands have fled their | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
homes and are trapped on a mountain near Sinjar in northern Iraq, | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
driven there by Islamic militants The Yazidi religion is | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
a closed sect. It's not possible for someone | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
to convert to the religion. For centuries, they have suffered | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
persecution, mislabelled as devil worshippers because the name of | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
the spirit they worship is similar In reality, it has elements of both | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
Christianity and Islam at its roots. It's estimated that as many | :03:22. | :03:35. | |
as 20,000 people may still be on the southern side of the mountain, | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
all in desperate need of aid. I am here now with two men who have | :03:39. | :03:50. | |
family in the attacks that area. We have all seen these awful pictures | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
on TV. It must be frustrating for you. It was terrifying, it made me | :03:55. | :04:04. | |
feel worse, you can see the picture of thousands of people without food | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
or anything, the art kids, young, old, old the same. How many family | :04:11. | :04:21. | |
do you have? We have blood family still there, we need help to get | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
them food, clothes, stop. There has also been criticism of how the | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
British government is handling this crisis. What do you think? I want to | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
say thanks to the British people to help, but the government are too | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
slow because the last element went into Iraq, and a lot of people died, | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
women are in danger, kids are in danger, and we ask the government to | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
go, save our family now. So you think parliament should be recall. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
How quick they can come, that would be great. Please, British people, | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
help us. You have been collecting aid here. We have collect it clothes | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
for our people because they have left their family and they are in | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
the mountain without anything, so here we try to help our people | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
there, we take clothes and give them to people. A sense of the urgency | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
and frustration here amongst the Daisy Dee and Kurdish people here in | :05:30. | :05:36. | |

Why plans to make this colliery into an industrial park are | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
A desperate struggle is on to find suitable stem cell or bone marrow | :05:51. | :06:00. | |
19`month`old Khalid Adam and 21`year`old Riya Dandekar have | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
But a shortage of suitable donors from ethnic minorities means | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
Our reporter Kevin Reide has been finding out more. | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
Khalid Adam from Coventry was just four months old when he was rushed | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
After months of tests, he was diagnosed with acute myeloid | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
leukaemia and needed treatment to save his life. | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
You have to be positive, otherwise it starts at the thing your mind, | :06:29. | :06:36. | |
the way you think. You look at him and think he looks fine. | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
After chemotherapy, things seemed to be going well, | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
He now has just four weeks to find a donor to give him | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
You just think, why? You cannot take it in. | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
Meanwhile, in Solihull, Riya Dandekar is | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
Just five months ago a swelling near her shoulder turned out to be | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
anaplastic lymphoma, another blood cancer. | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
The dog brought the chair forward and in slow motion said it is | :07:04. | :07:14. | |
lymphoma, and my brain panicked. I didn't know what to think, I | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
thought, wait, is this cancer? He said yes, the doctor said yes, and I | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
didn't know what to do. I looked at my mum and we both cried. | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
The fact is that if Khalid and Riya were white northern European, | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
they would have a 90% chance of finding a donor, but | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
because they're of Asian heritage, they're chances are just 40%. | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
Riya has enlisted the help of her friends at | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
Dorridge Music School to demonstrate just how simple taking a swab test | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
And she's now planning swab sessions in predominantly Asian communities. | :07:44. | :07:52. | |
We have been talking to parents and students when they come in, so | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
hopefully we will spread the word a lot. I was ignorant on the subject | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
but I find out it is easy, three quick and straightforward steps. | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
Exploding the myths is half the problem. | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
Many are unsure what stem cell or bone marrow donation entails, | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
but both are done without the need for surgery. | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
I am 95% of cases just collecting themselves from the blood, which is | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
having injections for four days and on the fifth day, needles will be | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
put into arms and the blood flows through the machine to collect this | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
themselves. Only a minority of blood conditions will we need to collect | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
the bone marrow, and the bone marrow is also done under general | :08:40. | :08:50. | |
anaesthetic. I going to die because I'm not responding to Chemotherapy? | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
It is a difficult question and to be honest with you I try to avoid it | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
because it is so difficult. Riya is planning to set up her own | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
charity to encourage potential donors, particularly from the Asian | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
community, and if she doesn't survive, she | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
hopes any legacy will help others, A teachers' organisation has | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
criticised anti`extremism measures introduced in the wake | :09:11. | :09:20. | |
of the "Trojan horse" inquiry into radicalisation | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
at Birmingham schools. The Association of School | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
and College Leaders says new standards have been "rushed through" | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
and could have unintended An inquest has recorded | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
a suicide verdict on a grandmother who was worried | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
about losing her home because Stephanie Bottrill, | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
known to her family as Doreen, She left a note saying | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
the government was to blame, before walking in front | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
of a lorry on the M6. On the morning of May 4th last year, | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
Doreen Bottrill walked across the M6 motorway and | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
into the path of a lorry. In suicide notes left for her | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
family, she blamed changes to the housing benefit system and said she | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
couldn't cope with the stress of Political opponents have called it | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
a bedroom tax and it's been one of the coalition government's most | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
controversial policies, leading to From April last year, | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
councils and housing associations could reduce the amount | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
of benefits paid to tenants with The government said up to half a | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
million homes were being underused With Doreen Bottrill's family gone, | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
she was living alone Her choice was to find, | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
from somewhere, an extra ?80 At today's inquest, | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
Mrs Bottrill's brother said his sister's death was a tragedy, | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
but he understood why the government For social housing to work, it needs | :10:53. | :11:09. | |
for everyone to take their turn, and went you are adequately housed by | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
successive governments and your needs are met, then you must give | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
somebody else a turn. It is terrible that people in this country are | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
cramped into one or two bedroom flats for children while other | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
children `` other people set in two bedroom houses. | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
Solihull council said if Mrs Bottrill had decided to move out | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
of the home where she'd lived for more than 20 years, | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
As a verdict of suicide was recorded, the family | :11:35. | :11:37. | |

More people are struggling to pay their debts in Stoke`on`Trent than | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
A study by two charities found more than a third of children | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
in the city were living in families with debt problems. | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
The report's authors say many feel taking on credit is | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
Here's our Staffordshire reporter, Liz Copper. | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
Enjoying the school holidays with her children, | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
She's happy to be debt`free now, but when she was 16 she took out a | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
loan and for a while her financial problems spiralled out of control. | :12:50. | :12:59. | |
Sleepless nights, you worry about people knocking on your door and you | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
worry about money especially when you have children, all the | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
responsibilities and you feel like you have failed because you have no | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
money. It is just a domino effect. And in Hanley city centre, | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
plenty of other families were also You think you have the money and it | :13:19. | :13:28. | |
can only go so far. I don't really believe in loans. I think they just | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
get you in more debt, so I wouldn't risk it. | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
But despite some families being reluctant to take out loans, | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
a study out today suggests this city is one of the worst affected areas | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
The report found half of children in families with problems that said it | :13:41. | :13:50. | |
caused arguments and nine out of ten families said they cut back on | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
essentials like food, clothing and heating. | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
And at this food bank at a church in Bentilee, every week volunteers | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
Sometimes as well as handing out bags of food, | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
We have people in that they cannot buy anything because they cannot pay | :14:04. | :14:17. | |
their way. The first thing they need to do is pay the debt and worry | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
about food later on, and that is what we have found. | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
Bentilee is typical of many estates in the city, | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
Children will often pick up on the anxiety there parents feel around | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
financial problems and it is well known that they could be extreme and | :14:34. | :14:43. | |
relationships. `` they put a strain on race and ships. `` on | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
relationships. Zoe Walton's finances are now | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
trouble free, but for many families, escaping the cycle | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
of debt remains difficult. A public meeting's being held | :14:53. | :14:53. | |
tonight over controversial plans to turn the site | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
of the region's last deep coal mine Daw Mill Colliery in Warwickshire | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
shut last year. The pit had been struggling to break | :15:01. | :15:01. | |
even, but the final straw was a devastating fire underground, | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
which took months to put out. At one time it was one of Europe's | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
biggest collieries. And when it shut last year, | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
Daw Mill was the last remaining deep coal mine in our region, | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
employing nearly 700 people. Now he's a councillor | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
and he's worried about the future I feel we've got to do something | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
on the site. It's got to be a business park but | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
it's got to be the right sort of business, so we've got to look at | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
the infrastructure carefully, about But the hope is 1400 jobs could be | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
created in a new industrial park ` twice | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
the number who worked underground. That could mean dozens of lorries | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
like this on winding country lanes, through villages which are already | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
too familiar with the effects I think most people welcome jobs but | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
the concern here is that we have a site which is extremely inaccessible | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
and most people fear the worst of both worlds, where we will get very | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
few jobs created and massive amounts of traffic | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
from heavy goods vehicles that will And it's not just | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
the neighbours who are worried. Five miles away in Coleshill, the | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
prospect of even more traffic is People, children cross the road, | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
it's a route for the kids to get to school, | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
pushchairs, elderly people crossing We have no pedestrian crossing, | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
you can't cross at the moment, so more traffic, | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
more damage to the area, damage to It may not look like much now, | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
but one of this site's main assets is that it has access to | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
the rail network for freight. The developers say that will cut | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
down on the number of lorries coming here, | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
and they also say they're willing to This is Danny Bath, who is one of | :16:47. | :17:21. | |
very few rich agents playing in professional football. That is | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
something the FA wants to change. Nick, | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
the Football Association is very And that's why they've organised | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
a series of forums in places with large Asian communities, like this | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
one tonight here at the Hawthorns. Across the Midlands, thousands of | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
British Asians have a real passion for football, as I discovered | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
in the Black Country this morning. The school holidays are | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
in full swing Around two dozen lads have turned up | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
for a training session with Jerusalem Rangers, one of many clubs | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
around the Midlands encouraging youngsters to play the beautiful | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
game at a grassroots level. I've been playing here for two | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
months and it's really good because I want to do this path so I can | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
become a professional footballer. So how many British`born Asian | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
players are playing professional football in the top four English | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
leagues? The answer is just eight, | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
including Adil Nabi at West Brom, Malvind Benning at Walsall, | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
and Danny Batth at Wolves. Danny's father is Indian and his | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
outstanding talent has made him a He said, "It would be great to | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
see more Asian footballers making If that does make me | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
a role model for other aspiring young Asian players, | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
that can only be a positive thing." We need to increase | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
the participation at a foundation level, at a grassroots | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
level, therefore that will filter up to hopefully finding more people | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
in the professional game. And in five or 10 years, will | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
that picture look very different? There is a shift in culture | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
at the moment where football is You have eight players | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
across the four leagues. Let's give the kids that push, | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
let's give ourselves that push to In the meantime, Adam and thousands | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
of youngsters just like him can only work hard and dream of breaking | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
through the glass ceiling and making the grade, but the stats don't lie | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
for British`born Asians aspiring to Let's talk to a couple of guys with | :19:22. | :19:38. | |
an interest in this subject. Adil is one of the young professional agent | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
that owners of the year. Do you regard yourself as a role model? If | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
that is what you want to call it, yeah, a role model to young Asians | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
in deprived areas like I was from, so it can help young lads do what I | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
have supposedly done now, great. You have put in so much hard work, not | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
just yourself but all your family. Yes, if you want to get to the top | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
you have to put hard`working, my mum, my dad, my brothers, so it is a | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
whole family thing, but obviously I get the headlines but there is a lot | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
of work from the family that has to be done. Your father had to change | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
jobs and to all of his brothers on the playing staff. Brendan, a former | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
legendary players here and consulted on equality matters. What more can | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
the FA do? Forums like this where they are having consultations with | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
the Asian community, who make up 5% of the population here, and we want | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
to embrace everyone and we have had one or two come through but we need | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
a deeper pool of talent for that to rise to the top, so that all is | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
lovely, you are welcome, just come forward and be part of it. Is | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
progress being made? I think there is work being done that hopefully | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
you will see, but this problem keeps rising year in year out and we need | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
positive action, which we are trying to do now. The FA's that all four | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
continues here this evening. `` football forum continues. | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
The owner of Hereford United has confirmed to | :21:32. | :21:32. | |
the BBC that he has failed the Football Association's fit and | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
proper person test and is no longer allowed to be involved in the club. | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
Tommy Agombar took over Hereford in June and attended their opening game | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
He says he's invested around ?240,000 in the club | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
and fears that without his support, Hereford will "crash". | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
It's been a successful day for Midlands athletes at the European | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
19`year`old Matthew Hudson`Smith, from Wolverhampton, | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
was an impressive winner of his heat in the men's 400 metres. | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
He's through to tomorrow's semifinals. | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
Stoke's Ashleigh Nelson set a personal best of 11.19 seconds to | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
qualify for the semifinals of the women's 100 metres. | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
And Birmingham's Hannah England has reached Friday's final | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
Just like our high streets, markets have had to change | :22:15. | :22:26. | |
One of the big successes has been farmers' | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
markets providing produce you don't find on a supermarket shelf. | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
Some are becoming increasingly strict | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
They say that's helping to attract record visitors and sales. | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
In the second part of our series on the state of | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
the region's markets, Ben Godfrey's been to Ludlow, a Shropshire town | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
There's been a market in Ludlow for over 900 years. | :22:43. | :22:53. | |
In the shadow of the castle, 40 stallholders promise quality | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
This isn't Oxford Street where you can sell rubbish | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
People who don't sell quality, who do not maintain quality, | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
So if you didn't hear that message loud | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
Anybody that trades here has to be within 30 miles of that town. | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
Everyone has to make their own product, so if you are selling raw | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
Appleteme are a small company selling apple juice | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
Seven miles away from Ludlow, Jane Cullen and her business | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
partner produce 6000 bottles a year, and they pick, crush and bottle it | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
We supply a growing number of pubs and restaurants | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
and we are stretching as far as Shrewsbury now, so we would | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
like to grow but we want to keep the character of our product. | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
A decade ago, Ludlow built a reputation as a foodie capital, | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
but the recession saw some producers and restaurateurs struggle. | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
The produce market adapted, catching the tourist trade and moving from | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
I'm quite interested in food that's locally grown. | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
I live in Bournemouth and I love to come to Ludlow every time I'm here. | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
For every pound spent here, there is another ?3 that stays | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
There are plans to build a large supermarket | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
It comes as British Market Authorities are seeing reduced | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
footfall as the big players spread more local convenience stores | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
We've got markets now that are reducing in size, | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
Increasingly people are doing what we call click and collect, | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
or shopping via the internet, and that's used now, I think 32 | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
However, it removes the human interaction. | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
And that's something this produce market prides itself on ` and | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
the belief that people will travel from afar to buy the local label. | :25:00. | :25:12. | |
Bit of a grey day today weather`wise and somewhat damp in the last couple | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
We are hoping it will be, and we are hoping for the skies to clear | :25:16. | :25:27. | |
tonight, especially in the early as of tomorrow because there is a | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
galactic spectacle in the night skies. We have a supermoon and also | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
the meteor shower, both competing with each other, but the meteor | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
shower were willed peak later tonight, especially towards dawn. By | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
all accounts it looks as though the skies will clear later tonight | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
because the showers today caused by this area of low pressure, which | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
will swing off to the east by tomorrow, that will clear the way | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
for drier conditions. If we look at what is going on now, we still have | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
some angry looking showers over the region or the next couple of those | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
`` couple of hours and those will fade away to leave dry conditions in | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
the early hours and clear skies developing, not everywhere, central | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
parts may have the best chance of seeing the meteor showers, at | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
temperatures will drop to a minimum of 12 Celsius, but tomorrow morning | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
there is a lot of sunshine to be had. Not as wet as today, a lot of | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
dry weather and sunshine but we will see the winds turned to | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
north`westerly as today they were south`westerly. It will cut off the | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
flow of showers from the south`west, there are still a few trickling | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
through the Cheshire gap, very light and sunshine to take temperatures up | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
to around 20 Celsius. We have winds picking up again tomorrow night and | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
that will draw in more showers through the second half of the night | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
and into Thursday, so Thursday we are looking at a return of some | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
fairly lively and prolific showers and that will also lead to winds | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
picking up and it will feel quite cool, but drier by Friday, cooler | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
and quieter. Before I hand back to Nick, a quick mention of Twitter. I | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
am on that, so you can find my official account online. | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
The actor and comedian Robin Williams has died. | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
He's believed to have killed himself. | :27:31. | :27:32. | |
