Bristol. Here's our Sports reporter Ian Winter. Team Sky is the hottest | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
team on two wheels. Their attographs were much in demand. Their star | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
rider is one of the most falous faces in world cycling. And this | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
morning, Sir Bradley Wiggins was guaranteed the warmest of wdlcomes | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
in Worcester. How much would it mean to do what he | :04:46. | :05:01. | |
did last year? That Jura Brhtain is very important. `` the two of | :05:02. | :05:12. | |
Britain. It is a fantastic place to have a bike race. They were all | :05:13. | :05:23. | |
desperate for a glimpse of the latest gear and the fastest bikes. | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
They get to catch up with all the other people. Attracting less | :05:31. | :05:44. | |
attention. This team are colpeting in their first two of Britahn. What | :05:45. | :05:53. | |

better, Ian? Bradley Wiggins finds himself 2 | :07:02. | :07:22. | |
seconds behind the leader. This has been a huge success. It has been a | :07:23. | :07:38. | |
fantastic day for Worcestershire. The Tour de France received rave | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
reviews in Yorkshire. How does this compare? The crowds on the hill | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
climbs have matched the two advance. People have turned out in | :07:51. | :07:59. | |
their tens of thousands. Yot always had the confidence to back this | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
event. Does it raise awarendss of the county? It raises awareness It | :08:04. | :08:12. | |

am confident we can celebrate again in three years time. It sounds like | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
a resounding success. A 13 year old boy has been ordered | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
to appear before Worcester Crown court to face charges connected to a | :08:36. | :08:38. | |

All the latest polling suggdsts the vote will be very tight, but what | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
impact could the result havd on people here in the Midlands? One | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
whisky distributor says he's concerned about what a yes vote will | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
mean for consumers. He spokd to Joanne Writtle, as she gaugdd | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
reaction from those for and against an independent Scotland. | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
Scotland is famous for its whisky. It's distributed all over the world, | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
some of it ending up here, hn Leamington Spa, in the hands of | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
whisky consultant Matt Swift. As the referendum on Scottish independence | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
looms, he fears a yes vote could lead to an increase in dutids. Matt | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
My concerns are the tax and duty implications. | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
supplies restaurants and bars with top shelf whiskies. But if he's | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
right about price rises, both he and licensees like Helen Wild mhght | :10:24. | :10:36. | |
start looking elsewhere for their supplies. | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
figures there are about 750,000 people born in Scotland livhng south | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
of the border. That's more than the population of Edinburgh or Glasgow. | :10:47. | :10:50. | |

frustrating that you do not have a vote? Slightly frustrating hn that I | :11:34. | :11:39. | |

Scotland get the vote. campaigning goes on. And cole | :11:41. | :11:51. | |
September 18th, voters will decide. But whatever happens Scotland's most | :11:52. | :11:54. | |

Forensic scientists at West Midlands Police say they're working on ways | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
of cutting the time it takes to give officers information taken from DNA | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
evidence from five days to `round an hour. Today's an important | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
anniversary ` it's exactly 30 years since DNA profiling was devdloped | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
here in the Midlands. Our special correspondent Peter Wilson has been | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
finding out more. At the forensic labs in Birlingham | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
the West Midlands police te`ms are examining evidence found at dozens | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
of cime scenes. Looking for finger prints. CCTV. DNA. 30 years on from | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
the discovery of the crimefhghting tool, advances are still behng made. | :13:20. | :13:33. | |
We have gone from obtaining a DNA profile from a stain the size of a | :13:34. | :13:46. | |
Hundreds of high profile murders have been cleared over the last 30 | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
years thanks to DNA profiling. On New Years Eve 1996 17`year`old | :13:52. | :14:12. | |
Nicola Dixon was murdered in Sutton Coldfield. | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
Banks to DNA the family werd given justice. `` because of DNA. | :14:21. | :14:35. | |
to convict Colin Waite ` his DNA profile meant there was 1 in a | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
billion chance that someone else had carried out the murder. DNA | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
identifies variations in each human retrieved from hair, saliva and | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
blood that makes each one of us unique. But the police teams here | :14:45. | :14:53. | |
The impact would be to bring offenders to justice more swiftly. | :14:54. | :15:08. | |
DNA has proved people innocent as wdll as | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
guilty. Giving detectives DNA hits almost from the crime scene could | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
mean some criminals being arrested red handed. | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
Work is underway to repair what some historians have described as one of | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
the finest buildings in the Midlands. Beauchamp Chapel hn | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
Warwick dates back to the 14th century. It was built to honour a | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
man who was the richest in the country at the time. In the latest | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
in our series on crumbling buildings, Bob Hockenhull rdports on | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
the mission to save an archhtectural masterpiece. | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
St Mary's Church in Warwick. Within its walls lies one of the greatest | :15:40. | :15:48. | |
medieval chapels in Europe. When the richest man in the country Richard | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
Beauchamp died in 1439, he wanted his fortune to be spent on creating | :15:52. | :16:06. | |
this finery. But now it's all under threat. | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
300 halls of beheading if I do. `` 300 halls have been identifhed. | :16:14. | :16:29. | |
badly eroded too. ?1 million has been raised for these repairs. But | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
another ?1 million is needed to restore the chapel completely. The | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
problem's been compounded bx shoddy repairs in the past. So where | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
is the other ?1 million needed for the restoration coming from? Nobody | :16:39. | :16:50. | |
knows yet. But the town's MP, who worships here, believes it would be | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
disastrous if Beauchamp Chapel was allowed to crumble. | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
This Church symbolises the history of Warwick. The battles and the | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
intrigues. In a sense it represents vanity | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
Richard Beauchamp donated hhs vast buy his way into heaven. In doing so | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
he's left the church with both a The best artists of the timd puts | :17:20. | :17:30. | |
their work into the chapel. to preserve all this beauty is | :17:31. | :17:43. | |
available. Now all that's ndeded is Not many of us can claim to | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
have had a life that's exciting But Neil Baldwin | :17:48. | :17:57. | |
from Newcastle`under`Lyme c`n ` and the premiere of Marvellous, | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
based on his life, is taking place You might know him better | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
as "Nello". He's 68 | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
and he's been a familiar figure Our reporter Elizabeth Glinka is | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
at the red carpet launch Yes they have. Tonight 's event is | :18:10. | :18:37. | |
about the film Marvellous, which will be broadcast on BBC Two later | :18:38. | :18:47. | |
in the year. He has been a fixture on this university campus for many | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
years. But he has never been a student here. He counts celdbrities | :18:54. | :19:04. | |
amongst his friends. Prince Edward, Prince Charles. As a shy tednager he | :19:05. | :19:20. | |
began visiting the campus. If he says he knows somebodx, he | :19:21. | :19:31. | |
more than likely has. Assessed as having special needs as a child his | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
story reached the national press in 2010. Marvellous recounts m`ny of | :19:38. | :19:54. | |
the surprising events in his life. How do you do it? How do yot stay | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
positive? I always wanted to be happy, so I decided to be. He also | :20:03. | :20:10. | |
has a passion for music. Frhends from the local choir also fdature in | :20:11. | :20:29. | |
the film. I felt that I had achieved something. I am very excited. I | :20:30. | :20:50. | |
joined by the star of the fhlm and also by the director. What did you | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
make of the script when you first read it? I could believe it. I could | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
not believe it was set in and around the Stoke City. I have been a | :21:06. | :21:17. | |
lifelong Stoke City supportdr. The script works because it is | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
quintessentially revealed. The events that happened are marvellous, | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
but they are not incredible. What was it like being watched bx Henman? | :21:32. | :21:44. | |
`` by him. He was like a Gu`rdian angel to the set. Is there ` message | :21:45. | :21:55. | |
to this film? It is an optilistic message. You can make things happen. | :21:56. | :22:05. | |
If you expect people to say yes they generally do. The premher will | :22:06. | :22:16. | |
get under way shortly. The rest of us can see it on September the 5th. | :22:17. | :22:21. | |

their way into our workplacd and even the classroom. | :22:39. | :22:40. | |

It is the West that will be the best for the sunshine and the East less | :24:41. | :25:07. | |
so. We are seeing pleasant sunshine even in the East of the reghon. The | :25:08. | :25:23. | |
sunshine is turning easy through the day. With high pressure across the | :25:24. | :25:38. | |

More cloud tomorrow night starting to filter through. Reasonably mild | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
in towns and cities. Meanwhile, it's magnificent weather | :26:50. | :26:54. | |

Invictus Games. The event, which is being championed by Prince Harry, is | :27:08. | :27:12. | |

short`term, but that has given me a bit of focus. The headlines. | :27:41. | :28:03. | |
