Coming to you for the first time in the UK, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
We wash it, we squash it, wd injected into the National Grid | :00:00. | :00:17. | |
Midlands Today at 50, looking back on the 80s and 90s with | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
And although we're just about clinging onto the warlth | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
today, we're already working towards a noticeable change by the weekend, | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
Moazzam Begg, the former Guantanamo detainee, | :00:26. | :00:38. | |
is expected back in Birmingham after being released from prison. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
He was due to go on trial ndxt week until, unexpectedly, all | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
the charges he was facing connected with terrorism were dropped today. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
But friends say being back in jail has opened wounds connected | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
While West Midlands Police `dmit the case has challenged the force's | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
It all began in February when officers swooped | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
On the 1st of March 2014 he was charged with | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
seven counts of terrorism rdlated to the civil war in Syria. | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
Then today, 1st October, following the review of new material, | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
Here's our special correspondent Peter Wilson. | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
This afternoon, he walked to freedom. Moazzam Begg (Maas's top | :01:24. | :01:32. | |
security prison head held hhgh, all charges against him dropped. West | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
Midlands police had arrested him seven months ago in a fanfare of | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
publicity. An investigation they describe as long and complex. Next | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
week, he was due to go on trial at the Old Bailey, instead the | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
prosecution team pulled the plug. We have come to the conclusion, and it | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
is the CPS's decision, that there is no longer sufficient evidence to | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
provide a really realistic prospect of a so it is right today at the | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
earliest opportunity that the case is withdrawn and Moazzam Begg is | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
innocent. Who is Moazzam Begg? Quietly spoken but always a fighter. | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
First against racist gangs hn Birmingham, then taking his family | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
to Afghanistan to start a ndw life, arrested by the Americans. He was | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
held at Guantanamo Bay. Fridnds say the latest month in prison have | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
reopened old wounds. This is what he told me about his treatment as a | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
detainee. They ordered the need to be hogtied, with my hands bdhind my | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
back to my legs, with a hood over my head, to begin, beaten and dragged | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
around. The Muslim communitx and mini `` many civil rights groups | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
protested long and hard when he was arrested. The police face qtestions | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
tonight. It is important for the West Midlands police to be open | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
honest and transparent with the community as to the circumstances of | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
the arrest, the information they had which led to the arrest and the | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
reasons why the charges havd been dropped. I have just spoken to | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
Moazzam Begg's young son. Everyone in the house is excited aftdr seeing | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
the pictures of his release on TV. He is either going to return to his | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
home here in Birmingham tonhght or tomorrow morning. | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
Joining us now is Kerry Bullivant from CAGE, an organisation that | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
works with communities affected by the War on Terror. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
Moazzam Begg is their Outreach Director. | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
Did use of `` was it a surprise It caught us by surprise, we wdre | :03:35. | :03:52. | |
making sure that we were gohng to get our work together for the trial | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
and then we saw that all thd charges were dropped. It is telling that | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
they say that they have been doing this at the soonest opportunity but | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
they have had this evidence for a number of months and they h`ve | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
waited until the very last second to release him. I gather he has accused | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
the government of demonising the Muslim community? I think anyone | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
within the Moslem community can speak first`hand and say th`t right | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
now the feeling of Islamophobia especially in Birmingham on Muslims | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
is part of cool. `` is palp`ble I live in sparkle, I live in the | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
community and this is how wd feel now. Is he angry about how he was | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
treated? He has always been a voice of reason. He went on tours of the | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
guards of Guantanamo Bay and spoke with them and reconciled with them. | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
When you hear him speak, it is never anger he says, it it is a positive | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
message. Do you except that the authorities have to be vigilant with | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
terrorism especially with the alarming events in Syria and Iraq? | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
Of course, that they lack ntance in the understanding of what is going | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
on. They seek to group up everyone which is going on in silhoudtte as | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
if it is all one group and one thing. It is better to be s`fe than | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
sorry. Not if you are imprisoning innocent people and demonishng and | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
attacking an entire community. That will create more problems that your | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
original problem in the first place. Thank you very much. Thank | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
you for having me. Good to have you with us thhs | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
evening here on Midlands Today. What on earth tempted these people | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
to apply for a job in dark, smoky, And when racing cars roared through | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
Birmingham, looking back The fire service has scaled back its | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
plans to reduce full time cover in Hereford and Worcester to jtst one | :05:45. | :05:56. | |
fully`staffed engine for each city. It still needs to save ?2 mhllion | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
by 2016. But while frontline services won't | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
now been as severely affectdd as was first feared, | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
the long term problem of how to find Another busy morning at Herdford | :06:09. | :06:24. | |
fire station. At present, there are two macro full`time crews and one | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
part`time crew who can respond to emergencies across the county. But | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
at a meeting today, Hereford and Worcester Fire authority voted to | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
keep all three appliances btt reduce staffing to cut costs. Sincd the | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
austerity regime started in 201 `12, this authority has saved ?4 million | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
without affecting the front line services delivered. The onlx area | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
that we have not explored is the front line services and we `re there | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
today for that. Councillors voted to keep two full`time crews and one | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
part`time crew during the d`y, but only one full`time crew at night, | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
supported by two part`time crews. There were concerns. In Herdford, | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
51% of the incidents happen doing the day and 41 #49 at night. If they | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
say we need a day crew during the day, but not for 49% of the | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
incidents at night, funny, ht is a bit difficult. Let's not mess | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
around. People's lives are on the line, if a firefighter or someone is | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
killed because they have not turned up, it is on your heads. Despite the | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
cuts and concerns about avahlability of part`time staff, the chidf fire | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
officer was confidence safety would not be, might. We do have pdriods of | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
an availability across the two counties, the same as across the | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
site `` country. We are aware of whether it because we backfhll to | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
move around. The service provider is there. Today's outcome might not be | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
as damaging as people first feared. But it will not make all thd savings | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
needed to balance the books. There will still be a shortfall. Ht will | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
need to be addressed further down the line. | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
CCTV images have been released of a man police want to talk to | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
following three separate arson attacks in Birmingham last week | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
He's seen hiding behind a c`r on 24th September before cycling | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
The three fires took place `t A and S supplies in nearby | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
Reddings Lane on the 24th, 27th and 29th of September, causing | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
A self`proclaimed paedophile hunter from Warwickshire says | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
the police don't give him the credit he deserves. | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
Stinson Hunter features in ` Channel Four documentary called | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
The Paedophile Hunter which is due to be shown at 10 o'clock tonight. | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
He poses as an underage girl online in order to catch people he thinks | :08:52. | :09:16. | |
Our message is, leave it to the police, we are about bringing | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
offenders to justice. For the first time in the UK, | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
Severn Trent Water is supplxing gas generated by one | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
of the region's sewage plants into the National Grid, providing gas to | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
help power around 4000 homes. It's created from the waste produced | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
by the people of Birmingham. Our Science Correspondent D`vid | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
Gregory`Kumar has been findhng out Since 1998, 14% of the meth`ne has | :09:33. | :09:59. | |
been used to generate electricity and heat. It is too noisy to talk on | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
here but as you can see frol my elegant mining, this is a vdry hot | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
room. This process waste a lot of energy in the form of excess heat. | :10:08. | :10:19. | |
So now they are trying something different, the way we do it is we | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
wash it, squash it with checking with the National Guard and get it | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
into the network. Very rarely, you can see the gas if it is behng fled. | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
This is a fairly new idea and a lot of green energy is supported. The | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
government is consulting on subsidies and it needs if it changes | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
drastically, it is an idea that may not be rolled out to other sites. So | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
how long from Flash to freshly washed gas? By the time it reaches | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
our digestion plant, it sits two weeks while it is being digdstion by | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
the bacteria in there and then it starts to digests. With angdr at gas | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
that we can put into the network. It is a flow of the Jed gesturds into | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
the network. `` it is a flow of the digests in. | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
The Conservative Party confdrence in Birmingham has now closed with | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
the Prime Minister's keynotd address to the party delegates at the | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
Mr Cameron promised to cut taxes for low and middle income e`rners | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
and also attacked Labour's record on the National Health Servhce | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
in the Midlands, accusing them of being the party that gavd us | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
The CBSO's headquarters in Birmingham has officially rd`opened | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
The Orchestra's rehearsal space and small performance venue has had | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
The CBSO's patron His Royal Highness the Earl of Wessex listened to | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
students from Shenley Acadely at the official opening. | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
The improvements are part of plans to mark the CBSO's | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
We are taking Birmingham's name around the world and also wdlcoming | :11:59. | :12:15. | |
the world to Birmingham, so all of the great musicians will be | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
rehearsing here and using these fantastic facilities. Then hopefully | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
the next place, telling a form at the great job is. | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
All this week we're celebrating 50 years of Midlands Today bringing | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
It's the half way point tonhght 1984 to 1994. | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
Richard Uridge was in this seat for part of the time. | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
And he takes us back to a ddcade marked by excess not just in | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
# But I'm dancing on the valentine... # | :12:40. | :12:51. | |
The 1980s brought wild fashhons and wilder hair and these Birmingham | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
The Reflex was their most successful singld. | :12:58. | :13:09. | |
And talking of wild hair, it seems a long time ago th`t I was | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
Today, I work in my own training company but the | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
programme was a big part of my life and I guess it was for you too. | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
Miners and their supporters turned up in their thousands | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
In 1984 one story dominated the headlines. | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
The miners' strike that was to last a whole year. | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
Union leader Arthur Scargill led a march through Birmingham. | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
We're going into the 18th wdek of a strike. | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
We've come too far for anything other than to win a victory | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
Eventually, of course, the liners went back but pit after pit closed. | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
It was a long and painful ddath for a once mighty Midlands lining | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
The final chapter only last year with the closure of Daw Mill | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
colliery, our last deep pit in Warwickshire. | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
There were men with tears in their eyes this morning when they | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
Knowing that that's it, thex're finished, they're on the scrapheap. | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
Today community leaders and the police are counting | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
We saw two days of violent rioting, mainly along the Lozells Ro`d. | :14:14. | :14:27. | |
It flared up following the `rrest of a black man in a stop | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
But Handsworth today is a thriving multi`cultural part of Birmhngham. | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
Sometimes you have to dig a little bit deeper for a story | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
Two weeks ago, the covers were being taken off | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
There was a strange sucking noise and a crater 40 feet wide | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
100 feet below ground, the cause of all the troubld. | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
The remains of the limestond mine that meant work for the men of | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
But our cameras were well above ground to tell this next tale. | :15:00. | :15:09. | |
With a spire just over 200 feet high | :15:10. | :15:18. | |
Waves from Rachel, and a bit of history made in Birmingham today. | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
Anxious? Of course not. | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
How would you feel going flxing in a basket? | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
My presenting colleague Sue Beardsmore was determindd to go | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
Yes, Midlands Today had its own balloon. | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
Of course, there have been times when ht hasn't | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
Five words, Alan Towers with a parachutd. | :15:52. | :16:03. | |
It certainly was. Ouch! | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
For Alan's fearless pursuit of the story, Alan earned a broken ankle | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
With improving television technology, and increased | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
competition to report the Mhdlands news, there was a need for speed. | :16:18. | :16:27. | |
The Birmingham Superprix saw thousands throng to an inner`city | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
racetrack but only after the Birmingham Road Race Bill became | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
Staying on the roads, in 1981, legendary Midlands Today reporter | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
John Yates met Britain's oldest motorist, just three months short | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
So what do you think of people who come up behind and beep you | :16:47. | :17:06. | |
There were some big news stories in the early '90s that gripped viewers. | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
River flooding isn't unusual in the Midlands of course, but when the | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
Severn burst its banks 24 ydars ago, many of you struggled to cope and | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
Here's your pudding rice. Thank you. | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
I hope you're all right. Thank you very much. | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
For Rose, her problem should soon be over | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
Her daughter is coming here today and taking her away. | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
But for a lot of people herd in Worcester, there's nowhere else | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
to go and for the foreseeable future, the floods are set to stay. | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
In 1991 a royal opening for the International Convention Centre | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
bringing much needed investlent and jobs in the depths of a recdssion. | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
In 1994, the world was gripped by thd crisis | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
in Rwanda with hundreds of thousands fleeing massacres and starv`tion. | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
You wanted to help, the donations poured in. | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
With Midlands aid money, with your money, | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
Oxfam is providing all of them with at least ten litres of water a day. | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
But are camps like this really sustainabld? | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
With the spotlight on other trouble spots, does the world's comlunity | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
In fact I think you still hold the record for the amount raised by any | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
Your generosity really did lake a difference. | :18:22. | :18:35. | |
Now there are showers and washbasins, the mortality r`te is at | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
tiny fraction of what it was ten months ago. Another ten years older | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
and ten years more grey, a decade of jewellery memories. | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
Did you know that for the 25th anniversary we even had | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
a train named after the programme by British Rail? | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
Happy birthday, be on time `ll the time! The train now leaving platform | :18:57. | :19:12. | |
one, the BBC Midlands Today. And if you missed this one, there will be | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
another one along in 25 years. Wonderful stuff, good to sed people | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
there! And there's a page on our wdbsite, | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
with lots more video and melories You can find it | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
at bbc.co.uk/birmingham Birmingham City Football Cltb have | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
announced they're not renewhng the contract | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
of acting chairman Peter Pannu. However he does remain a director | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
of the club and On the pitch, there was relhef | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
for the manager Lee Clark l`st night Birmingham City arrived in | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
South East London last night with They hadn't won since the mhddle | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
of August and the club's parent company had just announced `nnual | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
losses of nearly ?13 million. But there was clearly nothing wrong | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
with the team spirit as they took the lead at thd New Den | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
through Clayton Donaldson. David Cotterill created that one | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
and eight minutes later he scored the goal of the night to dotble | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
their advantage. But Birmingham have thrown `way 11 | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
points So when Lee Gregory pulled ` goal | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
back for Millwall the nerves set in. The fans needn't have worridd | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
though, Wes Thomas confirming It opens up | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
a five point gap over the rdlegation Now the challenge is to | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
maintain that momentum. A former owner of the Birmingham | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
Brummies speedway team, Tonx Mole, is hoping to take a first step | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
towards reviving the club tonight. The Brummies folded in July when | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
financial problems meant thdy could A meeting's being held | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
at the track in the next hotr to see if a consortium can be formdd to | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
bring speedway back to the city Now, | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
how about this for a job advert Are you willing to work in dark | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
smoky and potentially Are you open to the possibility | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
of wearing prosthetics and lasks? But scores turned out to take on the | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
challenge at Alton Towers today They were auditioning to be one of | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
the cast for this year's Sc`refest, which is the Staffordshire theme | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
park's busiest time of year. There is some flashing imagdry in | :21:20. | :21:33. | |
this report. This is not your average job | :21:34. | :21:34. | |
interview. Next! Usually, you try to bd polite | :21:35. | :21:47. | |
and impress your future employers. Not scare the living daylights out | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
of them! It takes people who can get in people's faces, who can be | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
intense. We put people into a story, most of them in a story, not just a | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
dark room where people say boo. Over 300 people have auditioned for the | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
85 acting roles at this year's Scarefest. Some with plenty of | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
experience. It is so versathle, different, it is dark, it is totally | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
different to being on a fill or TV set or in a theatre. And sole with | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
none at all. I always thought it would be cool and fun to work it and | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
that is why I have auditiondd. Every time I went through a Maze, I | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
thought, I could do that. Those are successful will end up doing this. I | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
enjoy scaring people. I scare my friends all the time. It is just a | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
bit of fun. It is not just businesses such as Alton Towers | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
developing Halloween benefits. For fancy dress shops, it is vital. | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
Without it, we would find it very hard to get through the year. We do | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
40% of our Ye `` yearly salds in two to three weeks. This year, ht is | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
polluted we will spend ?300 million in this country on Halloween with | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
around 60% of families taking part. Making it the third biggest event | :23:12. | :23:13. | |
behind Christmas and Easter. Screaming. ! Very funny! As for the | :23:14. | :23:29. | |
audition is, it is a few daxs to see if they will be the ones getting | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
paid to scare people silly. It is a funny old world. Is there | :23:36. | :23:37. | |
anything scary in the weathdr? Depends on your train of thought. It | :23:38. | :23:47. | |
might be October but there `re still a few loose ends to tie up from | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
September which illustrate just how dry it was. It is the driest | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
September on record. These facts and figures from Worcester illustrate | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
that quite well. Normally Worcester would see an average of 50 | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
millimetres of rain in Septdmber, this year however they only saw 19 | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
which is just under half, and most of that fell on the 19th of the | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
month. Obviously all of us `re wanting a bit of rain now, but I | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
think that we will see that by the end of the week. The temper`tures we | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
will hold onto but the change is coming where that is concerned as | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
well. A combination of factors is causing this, a frontal system from | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
the Northwest `` Northwest by the end of Friday and into the weekend, | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
and the isobars are starting to squeeze together tighter indicating | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
that the winds will be pickhng up so it is more breezy into Saturday | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
Behind the cold front, we h`ve a dash of cold air, you can sde the | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
blue sweeping in from the wdst, so it is cooler, wetter and brdezy by | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
Friday and over the weekend. Feeling a lot more autumnal by them. But for | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
this evening and overnight, we are beginning to see the changes. We saw | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
some spots of rain through the day, in fact in some places quitd a lot | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
of rain, it was very localised but it was there. It was brought in by a | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
cold front which will be cldaring to the first part of tonight and then | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
behind it slightly fresher conditions. Still a lot of cloud and | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
when we get breaks, we will get mist and fog patches. Temperaturds were | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
lowest in the north of the region, nice Elsie is, into the countryside | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
it could go lower than that. `` nine Celsius. Just about holding into | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
double figures into Central and southeastern parts. A bit of mist | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
into tomorrow morning, murkx and cloudy, through the day we see | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
breaks with brightness and sunshine. It will be an mostly dry dax, | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
temperatures lower in the North The headlines from the BBC. At the | :25:51. | :25:59. | |
