Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
The murder of an innocent schoolgirl on a bus | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
could've been avoided, according to a new report into her death. | :00:16. | :00:25. | |
There were enough signs, enough risks, in people who did wave | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
warning flags, but not enough people listening. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
Claims that Alan Henning, a British man taken hostage | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
in Syria, was there with a Worcester`based charity. | :00:41. | :00:41. | |
We expose the pension scam that s left hundreds facing | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
We meet the Shropshire man trying to save his 16th century chhldhood | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
Whether I finish it before the end of my time, who knows, but the idea | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
is to get it liveable and gdt the house safe and secure. | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
And Friday's northern lights at Broadway Tower left a lasting | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
impression and a wonderful reminder of last week's weather, but could we | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
One thing's for sure ` it's warming up. | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
Medics, police and prison sdrvice staff have all been criticised | :01:09. | :01:19. | |
in a report into the murder of a schoolgirl who was stabbed to | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
Christina Edkins died on thd top deck of a bus in Birmingham at | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
the hands of a stranger, paranoid schizophrenic Phillip Simel`ne. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
He had been released from prison only weeks before, but | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
mental health professionals admit he'd slipped through their net. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
The report says Christina's death could have been prevented | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Her family describe it as meaningless and avoidabld. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
Christina Edkins, making her way to school just two | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
Phillip Simelane, living rotgh, tormented by mental illness. | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
Their paths crossed on a rush hour bus in March last year. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
The result ` Christina's de`th, tragic and needless. | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
But her family say her killdr should never have been walking the streets. | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
I think it is quite clear that more than a year before Cristina Plazas | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
macro death, there were manx opportunities to recognise that this | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
person needed to be held in a hospital, and kept in a sectre | :02:26. | :02:26. | |
place. The authors | :02:27. | :02:27. | |
of today's report disagree that the killing was predictable, | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
but accept the warnings werd there. We did find that there were mist | :02:30. | :02:39. | |
opportunities for him to receive health care for his mental health | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
problems, and therefore concluded that her killing could have been | :02:44. | :02:44. | |
prevented. Simelane had been released from | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
prison just three months earlier. In another prison, HMP Hewell, | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
serving a sentence for thre`tening to kill, he was judged psychotic | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
but discharged without a care plan. In the three months after hhs | :02:55. | :03:04. | |
release, there is no record of contact between him, his GP and | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
mental health professionals. He slipped through our net, in that | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
we did not assess him as behng at the level of risk that he clearly | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
went on to pose to members of the public and Christina. | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
In another prison, he was jtdged psychotic, but released without a | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
care plan. Give any fact that he had bden | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
discharged from prison, the fact he only had three days of | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
anti`psychotic medication and was living rough and under no mddical | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
supervision, it was certainly predictable back at some pohnt, some | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
kind of violence would happdn. Similar aim, from Walsall, hs locked | :03:41. | :04:02. | |
up indefinitely. His mother says when she tried to get him hdlp, she | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
wasn't listened to. Not enotgh listening, not an absorbing, and it | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
costs Christina Edkins her life Joining me now is the | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
Conservative MP for Halesowdn and Rowley Regis, James Morris, | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
who is the Edkins' family MP. I think this is a shocking `nd | :04:15. | :04:28. | |
devastating report with a lhtany of failure around the mental hdalth | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
care of Phillip Simelane, which tragically led to the death of | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
Christina Edkins, and my thoughts are very much with Christin` | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Edkins' family and friends tonight, who are still suffering the | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
devastation of the loss that they suffered. What can you do now? | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
Because there are many people and agencies involved in this, so how | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
can they be brought to accotnt, and will they? In my position as chair | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
of the All Party Parliament`ry Group on Iran, I am calling for a | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
parliamentary debate on this report, because I think it raises | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
some very important issues that need to be addressed. | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
We are urgently calling for meetings with ministers to make sure the | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
recommendations outlined in this report are implemented as swiftly as | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
possible, so we do not find ourselves in a situation ag`in which | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
could lead to the loss of innocent life. There are 51 recommendations. | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Artisanal Bulloch, including prisoners' health records to be | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
shared with GPs after release, but there have been a lot of ch`nges to | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
the health service, the probation service. How can you make stre these | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
agencies are going to start talking to one another? | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
I think one of the key recommendations in this report is | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
that we need to have a lot lore sharing of information and darly | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
diagnosis of problems beford they become more serious. Phillip | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
Simelane was looked at in prison, but unfortunately, his records were | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
not then shared with police and probation. We need to get bdtter, | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
joined up working with the police, probation service, mental hdalth | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
services and social services in order to make sure that we deal with | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
these problems in a timely fashion. Thank you very much. | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
A cracking start for the Villa, four games in and still unbdaten, | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
leaves them second in the Premier League table. | :06:10. | :06:22. | |
It is believed the British `id worker Alan Henning, who has been | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
threatened with beheading bx terrorists in Syria, had bedn part | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
of a convoy led by a Worcester `based charity. Mr Henning was able | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
volunteer on a mission to ddliver aid including the charity Al`Fatiha | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
Global. What more do we know? As you mention, he had been on this | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
convoy with this charity, b`sed in Worcester. Here he is in front of a | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
vehicle in the convoy, which was taking aid to Syria. Their | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
headquarters are registered with the Charity Commission as being at a | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
domestic property in Harrington Road in Worcester. We sent a reporter | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
there today and knocked at the door. A woman answered and said they did | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
not wish to comment, so we did not get any comment from them at all. We | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
also know that Alan did not travel from Worcester itself, but from | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
Bolton, where he had been on convoys from before, and he had also been | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
known to a BBC reporter, who we talked to earlier. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
I was actually introduced to Alan as Gadget, which was his nickn`me, | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
because he was good with gadgets and technology. He is a funny m`n, a | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
very kind man. I only spent a brief amount of time with him, but that | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
was confirmed by everyone that knows him. | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
And I understand that the charity is being investigated? That is right, | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
they are being investigated by the Charity Commission, who havd | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
monitored and since last ye`r. They launched their investigation | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
this March, saying they werd concerned with the way it is being | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
run. In detail, they said they wanted to look at whether the | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
trustees are effectively discharging their duties under charity law, with | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
particular regard to the proper accounting for the income and | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
expenditure of the charity, and also, the management of the charity | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
in accordance with the law, and I did ask the Charity Commisshon today | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
whether there had been any progress in that investigation. They said it | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
was ongoing, but did not wish to comment any further. Thank xou very | :08:18. | :08:18. | |
much. A man has appeared in court | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
in Wolverhampton accused of murdering a woman in Smethwick | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
earlier this month. The body of 47`year`old | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
Glynis Bensley was found in 20`year`old Zoheb Majib who lives | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
in the street, was arrested in connection with her | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
death on Thursday night. Business leaders are vowing to do | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
all they can to help workers threatened with redundancy | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
following the announcement that the Staffordshire mobile phone | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
retailer Phones 4 U has gond The business was founded | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
by the Stoke entrepreneur Staff were given a briefing | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
about the company's prospects when Nationwide, it's thought more than | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
5,000 jobs are at risk ` 500 of them based at the firm's headquarters | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
in Newcastle`Under`Lyme. What we have got to do is to set | :09:11. | :09:22. | |
this news against what is a very buoyant economy here in | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
Staffordshire. We are creathng jobs at really quite record numbdrs, and | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
of course, we know that unelployment levels are down to almost 2007 | :09:31. | :09:31. | |
medals at the moment. Joining me now from | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
Newcastle Under Lyme is Rob Hunt from the administrators | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
Price Waterhouse Cooper. So, what is the likelihood | :09:37. | :09:37. | |
that jobs can be saved? Well, it depends what we achieve | :09:38. | :09:50. | |
over the course of the next 24 48 hours, as we seek to have a number | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
of conversations with mobild network operators, and hence whether we can | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
reopen some of the stores. Our staff going to be paid? That is one of the | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
crucial questions. We have said to staff this evening that we will do | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
our absolute utmost to raisd the necessary funds to pay them what | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
they are due, and I have gone in front of all of the staff that | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
remain here tonight and said that. I said that to the remaining people as | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
well. I know how critical it is to make sure that those people are paid | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
what is due to them, so that will be one of my biggest priorities during | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
because of tomorrow, to makd sure that we have got the funds to pay | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
them. This all seems to havd come completely out of the blue. How have | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
staff reacted? Well, there was a real sense of shock and a lot of | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
emotion around the phones four U offices, and I'm sure throughout the | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
store network during the cotrse of today. Staff have been very good, | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
help does during the course of the day, and we are very grateftl for | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
their support, but there is clearly an enormous amount of shock and | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
uncertainty throughout the whole of the business. Thank you verx much. | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
Finance experts are warning people to beware of so`called Penshon | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
Liberation schemes which promise to release money from pension pots | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
Hundreds of people have been persuaddd to | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
cash in their pensions before the age of 55, only to find they're | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
In a special investigation for BBC Inside Out, Andy Akinwolere | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
found four out of nine scheles he contacted gave misleading advice. | :11:20. | :11:29. | |
When we take out a pension, it's all about securing our future. @ nest | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
egg for retirement. But what happens if I want to cash mine in bdfore I | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
am 55? According to some colpanies, age is no barrier. Sounds | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
liberating. In fact, that's what they call it dashed Pension | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
Liberation. When John, not his real name, needed to free up somd cash, | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
he wasn't short of others. One seemed particularly appealing. I | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
have been unemployed for about two years, hardly earning money. I have | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
a wife, two kids, and I was struggling really badly fin`ncially. | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
In debt. And it basically offered up to 50% of your pension fund, and | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
before the age of 55. The scheme freed up ?47,000 in cash, btt | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
John's relief was short livdd. First, the pensions regulator and | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
then the High Court ruled hd had taken what was called an | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
unauthorised payment. The great thing about pensions is that they | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
are taxed efficient. In othdr words, we get tax relief on them to | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
encourage us to save. But there are strings attached. If you trx to cash | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
yours in before you are 55, cutting those strings will cost you a | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
fortune. You will have to p`y up to 70% of what you get back in tax But | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
our companies setting out to mislead, or just being short on | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
facts? I am hoping if you c`lled will help me find out. We h`ve | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
chosen a selection of companies at random, and I am a state pensions | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
expert to listening. Hello there. We have made it clear I am unddr 5 , | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
but need cash and faxed. Yot switch your pension fund, and you will | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
receive 20% of the value of your investment. It is a scam. That is | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
Pension Liberation, whatever name they put on it. In fact, thd nine | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
companies be contacted online and on the phone, four of them gavd | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
misleading advice. So what hs the pensions regulator doing about it? | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
We have raised awareness with the police. The important thing now is | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
to raise awareness with consumers. The message we need to get out to | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
consumers is that if anyone up as you access to your pension scheme | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
before 55, they are telling you a lie. You need to walk away very fast | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
indeed. A lesson the victims are learning the hard way. | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
And Inside Out will have more on this story as part | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
of their Pension Special tonight at the usual time of 7:30 | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
A report finds the murder of schoolgirl Christina Edkhns | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
could have been avoided if her killer's mental health problems had | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
Your detailed weather forecast to come shortly. | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
Proof that you're never too old to enjoy sport ` | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
we meet the racquetball plaxer still going strong aged 92. | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
And 20 years of making people laugh ` we're at the club which | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
Imagine your cherished childhood home was falling down. | :14:25. | :14:37. | |
That's the dilemma faced by one Shropshire man. | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
Stuart Lawrence was brought up in a timber`framed 16th century | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
But it's now uninhabitable, so he's been forced to live in a caravan | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
Old Hall in Old Marton near Ellesmere ` one of the finest | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
Owner Stuart Lawrence grew tp here and wants to move back. | :14:56. | :15:05. | |
It's a lovely area of the country to grow up in, and the house w`s | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
certainly interesting as a child, as you can imagine, growing up in an | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
old house. It can be a bit spooky at times. | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
But the farmhouse is in serhous disrepair. | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
While he finds the ?150,000 to fix it, Stuart is forced to livd | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
You can only live in a mobile home for so long, but the idea rdally is | :15:28. | :15:36. | |
to try and get it in a lovable state again. I am sure there will always | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
be ongoing work to do, and ht is whether I finish it before the end | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
of my time. Who knows? Stuart inherited the property from | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
his late parents Norman and Brenda. The property is on the | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
English Heritage At`Risk Register. Old Hall Is A Bit Of A Mystdry. Most | :15:48. | :16:01. | |
Homes Have Belonged To The Same Estate In The Past, or staydd in the | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
same family for generations. But most of the property here h`s been | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
lost. The Property Is On The | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
English Heritage At`Risk Register. But it hasn't | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
the funds to help restore the hall. Under the watchful eye of | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
English Heritage, Now, Stuart must turn | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
his attention to the There is nothing nicer than a great | :16:15. | :16:25. | |
big open fire, and it reallx gets you nice and toasty in here. | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
The house needs replumbing, rewiring and decorating. | :16:28. | :16:28. | |
With fewer grants available, the task of preventing historic | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
houses from decaying will f`ll increasingly to private owndrs. | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
At least the future of this grand old building does seem assured. | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
Christian Benteke has thankdd the Villa fans for all | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
In tonight's sport, the golfer who has won a trip to outer space. But | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
first, more good news for Aston Villa. | :16:54. | :16:54. | |
Christian Benteke has thankdd the Villa fans for all | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
their support as he battles to recover from a ruptured Achhlles. | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
The Belgium striker has been out injured for the past five months. | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
But that hasn't stopped Villa from making | :17:03. | :17:03. | |
Today, I've been to meet one of thdir | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
Villa fan Chris works can h`rdly believe his good fortune. While he | :17:08. | :17:20. | |
is enjoying a great season, his favourite football fan is gdtting | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
off to a great start in the Premier League. They have played for, and | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
scored four, and they are lxing second with ten points. You and Ian | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
Bell must be pinching themsdlves to see Villa doing so well. We are | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
actually. I text him, saying what you think are the result? Hd was | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
buzzing. So it is just by The Stig, and hopefully we can continte it. It | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
is early days, but who knows what is going to happen if they continue | :17:45. | :17:47. | |

Club opened in 1994, the only way most people in the West Midlands or | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
comedy was on TV or at the Comedy Store in London. It was aftdr a | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
visit to the capital that the club's founder decided if it could | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
work there, it could work in Birmingham as well. | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
Obviously, the naysayers sahd, oh it is a cosmopolitan London thhng, but | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
my light bulb moment was, absolute nonsense. It will work outshde the | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
capital. And what better pl`ce for me than to choose, basicallx, the | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
second city? Over the past 20 years, some of the biggest names in comedy | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
have taken this walk onto the Glee Club staging Birmingham, from | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
Michael McIntyre to Peter K`y, John Bishop to Lee Evans. At the time, no | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
one watching them had any idea that they were soon to become thd next | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
comedy superstar. Hello. Yes, one person conthnued the | :23:38. | :23:45. | |
clapping! After two decades, Glee Club is | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
firmly established on the comedy circuit, and this weekend, some of | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
the up`and`coming big stars took to the stage to help with the birthday | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
celebrations. The Glee Club chain is for le, the | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
best comedy clubs in the cotntry. Particularly on Friday and Saturday | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
night. They have got a very good way of not having people in there you | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
don't want to play too. Thex are very... A lot of people think comedy | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
is like pillars and stuff, but that kind of ruined the night. The best | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
way to run a comedy club is to see how the Glee Club do it and then | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
copy that. Currently back on the road touring, | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
Jasper carrot has seen plenty of changes to the comedy circuht in his | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
40 year career. 20 years ago, comedy clubs were very few and far between. | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
Now, practically every vill`ge has one. It is great to go in the Glee | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
Club, and I have just come `long and turned up, they put me on for 1 | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
minutes and I try out new m`terial. It is an essential part of | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
entertainment now. Comedy is massive. | :24:45. | :24:46. | |
With the 20th birthday celebrations over, planning is underway for | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
Christmas. The next big comddy superstar could be performing on | :24:53. | :24:53. | |
this very stage. Here is the weather now. | :24:54. | :25:06. | |
If today is anything to go by, you can see their Arbour alreadx subtle | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
changes to the weather this week. It will be showery at times, whth some | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
rain as well, and much cloud to be had, but I do not think the rain is | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
too much of a problem, conshdering has been very dry in recent days. We | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
have got some sunny spells on offer, and the main thing is, it whll turn | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
warmer by mid week. Temperatures by the end of the week could rdach the | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
mid`20s, but that is more lhkely be further south you travel. Some misty | :25:31. | :25:32. | |
nights and mornings, quite damp conditions. Low pressure on the | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
outside influences these showers, and you can see that there will be | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
some frontal systems circul`ting as well. As we head into tonight, it is | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
an example of what I've just been talking about. We got some showers | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
floating across the region, quite widespread in places, and you can | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
see from the darker sense is that some of them could be on a heavy | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
side, but a lot of dry weather in between, and eventually, thd shadows | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
will start to fade away, le`ving a dry ends of the night. But puite | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
damp conditions, and also won one, which will encourage the mist and | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
fog patches to develop towards dawn. We are looking at loads of `round | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
ten to 13 Celsius overnight with light winds. A misty morning | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
tomorrow, but that mist will slowly start to live, and that is because | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
the winds alight. Once it does, we are into cloudy conditions `gain | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
just like today, and another batch of showers starts to gravit`te up | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
from the south. These could be on the heavy side, but they ard well | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
scattered, and could be somd brightness and even sunny spell | :26:32. | :26:33. | |
between the afternoon. That will lift temperatures will South West up | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
to 21 Celsius. Quite light winds there, feeling pleasantly w`rm in | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
the sunshine. And again, we have much and again, we have mord showers | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
to content with tomorrow night, which will gain patent, leaving us | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
with misty, cloudy conditions. You can see from those green centres | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
that some of these could turn into thunderstorms. These will f`de | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
during the morning on Wednesday Again, a 1 night tomorrow nhght | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
with lows of just 14. Tonight headlines: Competing visions | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
