The headlines tonight: continues. The dream shall never | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
After the promise of more powers for Scotland, calls for the same | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
They need to be given greatdr freedom over their own abilhty to | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
raise their own tax, council tax, and also business taxes. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
We'll be asking a Black Country MP, who's also a Scot, what changes he | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
thinks should be made to thd way things are run in the West Lidlands. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Also tonight: More than 600 jobs to go at the Staffordshire | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
The closest thing I can rel`te it to is sudden shock and bereavelent | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
that was the reaction that H personally felt myself. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
A blow for Warwickshire ahe`d of their one day final at Lord's ` star | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
And we've been a little spoilt with the we`ther | :00:46. | :01:01. | |
recently, things a will be lore lively in the sky tonight ` but | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
Good evening, the promise of more powers for Scotland | :01:06. | :01:21. | |
in the wake of the referendtm is triggering renewed demands for extra | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
devolution in English regions ` including here in the Midlands. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
There's a population of around 5.3 million people | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
in Scotland ` over 5.5 millhon live in the West Midlands. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
In terms of public spending by the UK government, Scotl`nd | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
In the West Midlands, it's lower at ?8,500. | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
However Scotland contributes just over ?20,000 per person to the UK | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
economy, compared with around ?17,500 per head in the Midlands. | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
Nicola Beckford has been gathering reaction to the historic vote. | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
Her report contains flashing images from the beginning. | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
The Scottish referendum may be over ` but its impact will be felt | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
In this truck stop in Cannock diners were taking | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
If they'd all voted yes thex would have been sat there stumped thinking | :02:14. | :02:32. | |
` what is the next step and I don't think they would have | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
We got married up in Scotland ` it's part of our lives as we know it | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
we're just glad they are staying part of the UK. | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
The 300`year`old union between Scotland and England may | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
have been preserved but the political consequences for the | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
The Prime Minister said new reforms would deliver | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
"English votes for English laws ` and hinted at greater powers | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
It is important we have widdr civic engagement about how to improve | :02:57. | :03:07. | |
governance throughout the United Kingdom including how to | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
We will say more about this in the coming days. | :03:10. | :03:21. | |
The news was welcomed by thd Local Government Association. | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
They're demanding greater powers for local authorities across England | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
They need to be given greatdr freedom over | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
their own ability to raise their own tax council tax and also biz taxes. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
And they also need to be given greater freedom to raise money | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
independently via arrangements with the city | :03:39. | :03:39. | |
and other financial institutions because only by that will they be | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
It's a theme that's echoed by the business community. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Our cities are not able to invest nimbly. | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
We're not able to spot opportunities and take them | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
because we've got this Westlinster machine that takes forever to grind | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
out authority and they have no sense of what really works locallx. | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
There's just this national view of how things should be run. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
So the Prime Minister has promised a new and fair devolution | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
The question is now ` how will the government delhver | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
Earlier I spoke to Pat McFadden the Labour MP for Wolverhampton South | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
East and a Scotsman. I began by asking him whether the promhse of | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
more devolved powers for Scotland means the government should now be | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
focused on devolved powers for cities or regions in England? | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
Well I think what we have sden overnight is the end of somdthing | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
We have seen the end of a decades`long campaign | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
for Scottish independence and I am very relieved and thankful | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
that Scotland last night voted to remain in the United Kingdol. | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
That is the most important thing to say first of all. | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
But I also think that while that debate has been going | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
on people in England have bden watching it and thinking wh`t about | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
So I think it is healthy th`t we have a debate now, here in Dngland, | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
And we have already had a lot of options thrown out in the l`st 4 | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
hours, and I think it is a healthy debate and one that we should have. | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
There are actually more people living in the west Midlands than | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
That may well be true and even in the few hours since the restlt was | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
finalised this morning we'vd heard people talking about more ddvolution | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
to other cities, more devolttion to regions, some ideas about England | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
wide solutions so we have a lot of ideas out there but you do not | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
change the constitution in ` rush and so I think it is import`nt that | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
we have a proper debate abott this and importantly, maybe this is also | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
a lesson from north of the border, not one that just involves | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
politicians locked away in a room but one that involves | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
There does not seem to be a lot of appetite | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
for local government here in this region, bearing in mind Birlingham | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
They didn't and mayoprs werd rejected in most cities when they | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
I wonder if the impact of last night's vote is going to | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
One of the mistakes that we made when Labour was | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
in government was proposing regional assemblies in the North of Dngland | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
only to find that they were rejected by the voters so I think yot got to | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
And not think that the solution that looks good in Whitehall will | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
That is why I think it is rdally important that we have this debate | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
but that it is one that is ` proper dialogue between politicians | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
and local communities because you do not want to get this wrong. | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
Well, our Political Editor Patrick Burns is in | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
Birmingham tonight, so the Dnglish question has really been aw`kened, | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
This is at least part of it, according to the Prime Minister | :06:37. | :06:48. | |
David Cameron wants to "re`empower the great cities". | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
To which the counties promptly expressed | :06:54. | :06:54. | |
their disappointment that hd didn't mention them in the same brdath | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
Many people can agree England needs a new deal ` polls | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
suggest more than 80% of people think that. | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
The problems start when yoy try to decide what exactly | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
that means and how you should go about achieving it. | :07:09. | :07:26. | |
And Patrick will be back with Sunday Politics on on BBC1, 11: 0pm | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
Thanks for joining us at the start of the weekend here | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
Muslims across the region pray for the two British hostages being | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
628 staff at the Staffordshhre Head Quarters of Phones4U h`ve been | :07:42. | :07:51. | |
The adminstrators, who were appointed on Mondax, | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
made the announcement to workers late this afternoon. | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
Phones 4U collapsed at the weekend after network operators | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
Here's our Staffordshire reporter, Liz Copper. | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
On Monday, some staff were `lready bidding farewell at the | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
Staffordshire Headquarters of Phones 4U. As they departed, many were | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
resigned to the reality ` they wouldn't be returning to work here. | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
And tonight ` confirmation that 628 jobs are going. | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
This recruitment agency in Newcastle's taken calls | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
from hundreds of Phones 4U staff since thd firm's | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
Already some workers have bdgun the process of securing new jobs. | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
Something like this happens it is nevdr easy | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
but you have got to look at it as a positive, and look out there | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
It is not nice but you get on with it | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
and you have to move forward and we will remain as positive as we can. | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
You can't dwell on it and the thing is for me personally | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
I've seen it as a chance to change and actually create a career. | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
The directors of this agency were also both former | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Their new business has maintained strong links with the company. | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
But they hadn't forecast the speed at which it found itself | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
The closest thing I can acttally related to his sudden shock | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
That was the reaction that H personally felt myself | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
but also that was definitelx what the staff were conveying. | :09:17. | :09:24. | |
What we're talking about is getting a sledgehalmer | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
The founder of Phones 4U ` Staffordshire`based billion`ire | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
John Caudwell ` was renowned for his straight | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
talking when he ran the bushness, before he sold it eight years ago. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
And he's been equally forthright this week, | :09:40. | :09:51. | |
My experience was one of growth and always good t`lented | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
people in the organisation laking profits so I think you know | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
it was a shock that it happdned so quickly. | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
Vodaphone will be taking on 140 Phones 4U shops, | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
But that deal's subject to court approval. | :10:09. | :10:20. | |
the administrators are in t`lks with three different parties so that the | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
next few days will be critical in determining how many jobs c`n be | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
saved. A Birmingham man's been arrdsted | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
on suspicion of theft after police released CCTV footage | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
of a man trying to hide a phece It happened last month | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
at a gallery in the city centre West Midlands Police say officers | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
arrested The footage attracted more than | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
204,000 hits in 48 hours after the police uploaded it to | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
their Youtube site. A fundraising appeal to keep the | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
Wedgwood Collection in Staffordshire The collection at the | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
Wedgwood Museum in Barlaston is being sold because of a pension fund | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
debt that arose when Waterford Public donations of ?1 millhon have | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
now been matched by major donors, trusts and foundations, | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
leaving the appeal ?750,000 short The words of religious leaddrs in | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
a national day of prayer as muslims condemned the actions of extremists | :11:17. | :11:25. | |
holding British hostages. In the clearest language evdr used | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
packed mosques were told th`t the Islamic State do not represent | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
Islam. Alan Henning and John Cantlhe are | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
being held in Syria Our Special correspondent, Peter | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
Wilson has this exclusive rdport. This Birmingham mosque was one | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
of dozens around the countrx, 10,000 worshippers hearing | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
in the same message that thd Islamic State are terrorists and condemning | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
the kidnapping of aid worker Alan Henning and photojournalist | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
John Cantlie. The imams appdaled directly to those threatening to | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
kill Mr Henning. We ask you, please show compassion, | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
justice and mercy to Mr Henning Alan Henning was part | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
of a Worcester`based charitx convoy Known as Gadget to his friends, he | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
simply wanted to help those in need. It is worthwhile | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
when you see what is needed actually Today's appeal and prayers were | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
broadcast on the Internet, designed to place maximum pressure on those | :12:36. | :12:44. | |
holding the British hostages. Muslims around the world fedl that | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
the so`called Islamic State which we are calling the un`Islamic | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
state does not represent Islam or We want to make it crystal clear | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
what Islam feels about the terrible atrocities that are being committed | :12:58. | :13:06. | |
in the name of the Islamic State. The organiser of this national event | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
which continues over Alan was a humanitarian, he went | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
with a Muslim organisation to help He was a humanitarian | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
and today the mosques are praying for all humanitarians ` | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
for their safety and securhty. These sermons | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
and messages are being repe`ted The message unequivocal | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
and the prayers for the safdt return After a promise of more powdrs | :13:30. | :13:36. | |

of the largest Kashmiri ex`pat In the last two weeks, they've seen | :14:19. | :14:31. | |
their homeland devastated bx the Kashmiris here struggling to contact | :14:32. | :14:40. | |
their relatives are calling for more As Bob Hockenhull reports, | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
they're also raising funds to help Nearly 300 have died. | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
Three quarters of a million people have lost their homes after floods | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
devastated Kashmir. It's distressing for Eram Rather from Shirlex in | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
Solihull ` she tries to keep in daily contact with her parents who | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
live in the capitol Shrinig`r. But When you know that | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
your parents are there and xou don't know that they are fine and you | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
are not able to contact thel. Some | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
of Eram's relatives were tr`pped But all of her and her husb`nd's | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
family have now been accounted for: All the main hospitals, | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
all the speciality hospitals are underwater. There are some places | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
over 30 feet of water. The West Midlands is home to | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
an estimated 90,000 people The Birmingham based Islamic Help | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
charity has already raised thousands of pounds to help ` | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
its volunteers are distributing food We have had a tremendous response | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
from our volunteers here in the UK who have heard about the problems | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
and have wanted to come forward Individuals are also doing | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
their bit to help. This Kashmiri curry house | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
in Sparkbrook will donate 40 per cent of its takings over fotr days | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
next week. People there have got no food, | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
they have got no homes, thex are homeless so it is our opportunity to | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
help those people there. With officials describing | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
the Kashmiri flooding as unprecedented in living lemory, | :16:19. | :16:19. | |
the fundraising will be needed Ian's here with the sport | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
and a blow for Warwickshire ahead Yes, the Bears will be without | :16:23. | :16:33. | |
their England batsman Ian Bdll for tomorrow's One`Day Cup final | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
against Durham. He's suffering from a broken toe | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
and tonsilitis. Warwickshire's Director of Cricket | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
Dougie Brown says he's disappointed. Bell says he's gutted to miss | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
the game, but he'll be watching It was very warm and very htmid | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
at Lord's this afternoon. Nevertheless, the Bears camd out to | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
play in the nets, knowing that Ian Bell ` one of their key potdntial | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
match`winners had been ruled out Earlier this week as they g`thered | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
for a round of golf on the famous Brabazon course the Warwickshire | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
players were still hopeful that Bell would be fit in time for tolorrow's | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
big match at cricket HQ. This they are all hoping to complete | :17:14. | :17:33. | |
the double which would be a fitting finale for this talented sqtad. If | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
you were not playing in this final you would be there? 100%. You want a | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
Warwickshire to do well with you are playing or not and there is a good | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
chance I will be playing. That is just great and I am excited as much | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
as any of the other lads. Hhs team`mate has rediscovered his | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
form. He is available for England and would love to sign of the season | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
with victory. The same applhes to this pace bowler from Yorkshire How | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
much are you looking forward to the experience? Massively. To go back | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
and play in the final in front of a big crowd is going to be fantastic. | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
20 years since what we showdd the treble. It has been thought about. | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
The championship has slipped away from us but certainly we want a | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
double as well so we want to push on for second in the championship and I | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
cannot think of a better se`son It may have been lacking in little | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
consistency but cricket has been outstanding Arab season. Thdir | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
opponents will be a tough ntt to crack but Bush `` all season. `` but | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
Warwickshire. They travel to Spurs, | :18:53. | :18:53. | |
still looking for their first win. These are tough times | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
at the Hawthorns. Yes, just one win in | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
their last 10 Premier Leagud games. So far this season, | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
they've drawn two, and lost two since Alan Irvhne took | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
over as Head Coach in the stmmer. He says he can understand the fans | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
frustration at Albion's slow start. Anybody who is down towards | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
the bottom end of the table is going to be in that position wherd they | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
are under pressure. It is four games in, it can change | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
very very quickly, I have too say It is four games in, it can change | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
very very quickly, I have to say that Paul Lambert has just been | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
given a new contract and if I remember rightly he was unddr a | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
great deal of pressure last season. But at the other end of the table, | :19:32. | :19:39. | |
Aston Villa could go top? Villa are just two points | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
behind the leaders Chelsea who take their 100 per cent record to | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
Man City on Sunday. Tomorrow, | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
Villa are at home to Arsenal. When they last met in January, | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
Villa lost 2`1. Christian Benteke scored | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
and the good news is that hd's now But if Villa win, then they would | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
go top ` for 24 hours at le`st. And you can follow all your teams | :19:55. | :20:04. | |
this weekend by listening to your Big celebrations | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
in Coventry tonight to mark the 40th There's a drive`in film scrdening | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
underneath the famous carri`geway. We'll be live | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
there in a moment ` but I w`nt to the "trailer" ` which is thd world | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
premiere of the video for "Let's Go Round Again" ` that's the cleverly | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
remade Ska version of the Average White Band's hit | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
and it's the brainchild of the team Well, we think it's great ` | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
but see what you think. #Maybe we'll turn back the hands | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
of time #One more time | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
#Watching all the people go round. Well, that's the trailer | :20:44. | :20:57. | |
for tonight's drive`in. Sarah Falkland is at the Whhte | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
Street car park for us, what is it? Well, no prizes for this ond, | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
but here's a clue. " I only told you to blow the bloody | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
doors off!" Had to be the original Italhan Job | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
because as everyone in Coventry knows there's the connection with | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
the city's sewers. Sewers in Turin were too puny and | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
small ` they needed big impressive sewers to speed those Longbridge | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
built minis through so came to Coventry to use the ones behng built | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
to link up with the the finham sewage plant ` in fact they're | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
now underneath Stoke Aldermoor. How the child are you with the | :21:40. | :21:52. | |
result? `` how chuffed. We `re excited. If you are one of the | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
people who came out thank you so much. It is amazing. The rahlroad | :22:01. | :22:14. | |
was never expected to reach its 40th birthday, it surprised everxone | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
It was in 1960 that work first started on Coventry's ring road | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
The two and a quarter mile circular carriageway | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
was the icing on the cake of the city's post`war regener`tion. | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
Father and son George and Mhchael both worked on it. | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
We saw the concrete and reinforcing for the flyovers and slip roads I | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
used to work two shifts somd weeks just to get the work done on time. | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
Michael was just 16 and a trainee apprentice. | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
I was put on a tractor on d`y two of my apprenticeship | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
Loaded up to the gunnels it was with materials, and I said to | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
the foreman, I could not drhve that, he said just get on it ` | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
I managed to get it stuck down Union Street and bring Coventry to a halt | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
and the traffic was backed tp and my name was mud for about four hours. | :23:11. | :23:23. | |
Once completed the road was praised by motorists for its efficidncy and | :23:24. | :23:25. | |
these days there are rarely traffic jams but it is not so welcoling to | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
pedestrians with a labyrinth of unwelcoming subways and unddrpasses. | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
But on at least one of the junctions that is set to ch`nge | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
They are creating a huge walkway so pedestrians will be able to | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
cross the ring road without even knowing it's there. | :23:38. | :23:39. | |
Ten of these 50 tonne steel beams have been hoisted over the top | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
of the road and there are a further 22 to follow later in the ydar. | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
What you see here is only a third of the bridge at the moment. | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
In late November we will install the rest of it. | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
You will be able to see str`ight into town and walk direct | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
into town whereas you have puite a torturous route at the molent | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
through various walkways and subways so it will be a lot more opdn, a lot | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
The ring road was only designed to last for 20 years. | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
But there are parts now looking past their sell by date | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
and planners are working on other ideas to improve its overall image. | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
Celebrations carry on into the weekend. | :24:12. | :24:23. | |
These are the lucky people `llowed into night. What is happening on | :24:24. | :24:36. | |
Sunday? We have a sky vied taking place. `` right. We have a bike | :24:37. | :24:47. | |
race. We have many people shgned up for it and we expect between 50 0 | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
and 6000. A chance of a lifdtime? There will be no traffic at all We | :24:53. | :25:02. | |
have lost the signal. I hopd they have decent weather for it this | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
evening because the sunshind seems to have disappeared. | :25:07. | :25:15. | |
Yes Nick it's been covered by a blanket of cloud today ` the | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
good news is that the weekend isn't a total washout ` we have still got | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
some storms to come tonight and tomorrow ` but they will cldar, the | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
cloud will break up too ` and by Sunday we'll have more | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
sparkling sunshine, but with cooler air over the top of us ` | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
Now we do still have a Met Office yellow weather warning in place | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
for heavy rain ` it's with ts until tomorrow morning and it's bdcause | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
some of the showers we're gdtting overnight could be heavy catsing | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
some flash flooding, some hail and thunder in thdre too. | :25:46. | :25:47. | |
It's been one of those days where it started off rather grey and it | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
hasn't got any better ` we still have that blanket of cloud over us | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
this evening it has broken tp a little ` but is with us tonight. | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
We also still have some heavy showers to come ` | :25:58. | :25:59. | |
The cloud and the rain is going to help to | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
keep temperatures up ` so a muggy night on the way with temperatures | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
That means it'll be a rather dull and damp start to tomorrow ` still | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
some showers hanging about ` we have a cold front sinking southw`rds ` | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
once that clears the air behind it will be fresher and clearer and | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
Our temperatures starting to drop a little ` but still 21C is possible. | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
For the cricket at Lord's at the moment it's looking rather dull `but | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
it should start largely dry which is good news for Warwickshire. | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
Overnight into Sunday we sthll have a few showers kicking around ` | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
but then as skies clear temperatures will fall away ` | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
a cooler night than we've sden recently ` temperatures arotnd 0C. | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
So it's a fresher start to things on Sunday ` and for those | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
of you doing the Worcester 00K it's certainly looking like | :26:39. | :26:40. | |
the best day of the weekend ` one of those pleasant autumn daxs with | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
A fresher feel though with our temperatures back to | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
where we'd expect them to bd for the time of year. | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
And it stays settled into next week too. | :26:51. | :27:13. | |
Alex Salmond is standing down as Scotland's First Minister | :27:14. | :27:26. | |
