The headlines tonight: and on BBC One we now join | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A supersonic boost to our economy- calls for expansion to Birmhngham | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
airport as the government announces plans to extend Heathrow. | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
We need to be able to get in and out of the market without the h`ssle | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
I think expansion of Birmingham is absolute common sense. | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
With Birmingham Airport running at under capacity we look | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
at the role it could play in future transport plans. | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
Let down by this system. Thd woman abused as a child by a imam. He fled | :00:29. | :00:40. | |
the country the day after bding convicted. | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
It was a victory than any when he was found guilty. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
I was like, yes, he will go down for what he has done, | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
I'm alive at Molineux where tonight Wolves are looking for a new manager | :00:49. | :01:03. | |
to replace Walter Zenga. I `m at the hippodrome where they are rdliving | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
some of the times of some of the greatest rock 'n' roll artists who | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
played under Sperry stage. ,- on this varies stage. | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
And mornings are getting mistier and the days milder. | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
We have north/south split this week with high pressure in control. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
Finds out what that's going to mean for us later. | :01:25. | :01:36. | |
A supersonic boost - that's how leaders in the rdgion see | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
the economic potential of expanding Birmingham Airport. | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
The Government's decision to back a third runway at Heathrow, | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
with no mention of regional airports, has led to a fierce back | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
With little prospect of the new runway at Heathrow | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
becoming operational for a decade, could our region's | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
international airport still be required to fill the gap? | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
Our Political Editor Patrick Burns has been following today's dvents. | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
With London's airports full up, why not Birmingham? | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
It could handle more than twice the 11 million passengers | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
High-speed rail would eventtally connect it both north and south | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
So would today's announcement of the Government's "preferred | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
option" for London also recognise Birmingham in the strategic mix | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
Labour wanted to know if major regional airports were being | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
There's no mention of greatdr utilisation of our internathonal | :02:32. | :02:44. | |
gateways. What message does that send to Stansted, Birminghal, East | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
Midlands about the government commitment to the so-called Northern | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
Powerhouse? And one of our local Tories had | :02:52. | :02:52. | |
a pointed question, too. Why can we not be talking about | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
expansion at Birmingham International Airport? | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
But the Transport Secretary repeatedly avoided what he called | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
Even though the chairman of the Airports Commission Sir | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Howard Davies has said this week high-speed rail would make | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
Birmingham a more attractivd proposition for expansion | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
One one local business leaddr returning to Birmingham Airport | :03:12. | :03:22. | |
today had no doubt about its economic importance. | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
It is extremely important. The hassle of going south to He`throw | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
for example is too much for some people. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
main parliamentary parties' candidates fighting to be elected | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
West Midlands "metro mayor" next spring. | :03:41. | :03:41. | |
They all want Birmingham to be allowed to expand into glob`l | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
But environmental campaigners warn expansion here would | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
I think it is the wrong way to go here. Becoming more reliant on | :03:49. | :04:03. | |
overseas business is not wh`t it is all about. | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
With a 12-month consultation looming in the New Year, the arguments, | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
like the runways themselves, are all set for the long hatl. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
So is this really a setback for Birmingham Airport's | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
Those environmental campaigners will certainly hope it is. They say | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
expansion will pay no heed to the concerns of local residents, who | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
were up in arms when the flhght approach paths were changed. Local | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
business leaders had been hoping, especially after the intervdntion by | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
Howard Davies, they would bd a recognition about the role | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
Birmingham could play in thd mix. I think the reality years, and I've | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
spoken to both Chris Grayling and Theresa May, that they have clear | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
appreciation of the strateghc importance of Birmingham with the | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
high-speed connection, but they are clearly working hard to keep the | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
debate narrow rather than broad A woman who was abused as a child | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
by an Imam says she's been Hafiz Rahman was able | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
to leave the UK the day He was found guilty of sexu`lly | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
assaulting two young girls who'd been sent to him for religious | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
tuition in the 1980s He's now believed to be in | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
Bangladesh. One of his victims, Nabila Sharma, | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
has been speaking to our reporter Audrey Dias, she's given her first | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
interview since the trial ended He would stroke my | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
hair, stroke my back. That would, over the months, | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
that went gradually on to hhm Nabila Sharma - not her real name - | :05:41. | :05:53. | |
was just seven when the abuse began. There was this one time, | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
he had grabbed me and And he was trying to get my clothes | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
off and I know for sure if he wasn't interrupted, | :06:03. | :06:12. | |
he would have raped me. Her abuser was this | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
man - Hifiz Rahman. He was the Imam at the Queens Cross | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
mosque in Cradley Heath when the assaults took | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
place in the 1980s. He is no longer involved | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
with the mosque. They thought he was | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
God, which they do. That is how we are taught, | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
as well, that he is the imam at the mosque | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
and you do as you are told. It's a story that's all too | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
familiar to those who work all that Asian community | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
because of the notion of honour and people don't like to talk | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
about it, they don't like to admit | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
it is happening in their colmunity because it is seen as being quite | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
shameful. Rahman was eventually chargdd | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
with sexually assaulting two girls. He claimed he was too ill to attend | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
the end of his trial here at Wolverhampton Crown Court | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
earlier this month and was convicted I've been through so much | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
to get to this point It was a victory for me when he was | :07:07. | :07:30. | |
found guilty. Then he disappeared. Somebody needs to come forw`rd | :07:31. | :07:46. | |
and take responsibility It was only through her book that | :07:47. | :07:57. | |
she was able to tell her story. She hopes it will encourage othdrs to | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
speak up as well. A man has been convicted | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
of murdering a teenager, shot dead Disharn Dowie is due to be sentenced | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
next month for killing He was also found guilty | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
of the attempted murder of `nother man and firearms offences - | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
after firing into a car, parked on St Marks Crescent | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
in March this year. Severn Trent Water is promising | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
to investigate why a waterphpe burst in Prees in Shropshire yestdrday, | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
flooding homes and blocking a road. People who live on Moreton Street | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
say it's happened before. Nuneaton and Bedworth's leaders | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
are planning a special meethng to discuss how to deal | :08:30. | :08:38. | |
with illegal traveller camps. The council says it's involved | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
in expensive legal action It has invited local MPs | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
as well as Warwickshire's Police and Crime Commissioner | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
to discuss the issue. Plans for a 6km track for cxclists, | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
runners and walkers around Croome Court's parkland havd | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
been heavily criticised. The National Trust says it wants | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
to make it easier for peopld to enjoy the Worcestershire estate, | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
but those opposed to the scheme say it would damage the landscape | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
designed by Capability Brown. The mother of a baby boy | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
alleged to have been killed by his own father has told how | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
she heard a loud thud the nhght her 19-year-old Zoe Howell said | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
she walked into the lounge to find Daniel Sanzone hovering over baby | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
Joshua who had become, Mr Sanzone, who's 23 | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
and from Pendeford in Wolverhampton, denies murdering | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
13-day-old Joshua Millinson. Ms Howell denies causing | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
or allowing his death. This is a particularly | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
distressing case. What was said to Ms Howell | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
under cross examination? Joshua was barely a fortnight old | :09:47. | :09:55. | |
when he suffered what was ddscribed as catastrophic brain injurx, he | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
also had injuries to both ldgs. He was on a life-support machine for | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
almost a month before the Hhgh Court decided it could be switched off and | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
he was allowed to die. His lother arrived in court today accolpanied | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
by her own mother, almost a blister 88 she was by clothing, and their | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
hearing had to be suspended as she broke down. The Ashe almost | :10:19. | :10:19. | |
obliterated. She said he was a good fathdr. She | :10:20. | :10:33. | |
recalled the loud Fahd and how she challenged him over the noise. He | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
said he dropped the remote control on the floor. She conceded the | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
remote was still on the table where she had left it. What was s`id to | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
her under cross examination? The prosecution focused on police | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
interviews. She was asked if there were any signs of things not being | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
quite right. She said Joshu` did not cry, but screamed when he w`s left | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
alone with his father and hhs father kept asking for the baby monitor to | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
be switched off, something she said was a bit weird, in her own words. | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
But she said she was not suspicious. It was put to her, what do xou think | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
he was doing to your baby to make an screen? Did you not realise he was | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
getting hurt? No, I did not, she said, had I done so, I would have | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
acted. The prosecution alleged he was not a good father and w`s | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
violent and jealous. She was asked if there were any other signs? She | :11:35. | :11:44. | |
said no. She said she wasn't convinced Mr Sanzone loved his son. | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
Asked why, she said it was the way he would look at him with a blank | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
stare. The trial continues. Thanks for joining us | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
on Midlands Today. We'll have your detailed we`ther | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
forecast to come shortly. Open all hours - the corner shop | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
still going strong after 53 years, and the high street looks | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
to be bouncing back. Wolverhampton Wanderers are looking | :12:05. | :12:20. | |
for a new manager - again. The club sacked Walter Zeng` this | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
afternoon, less than three lonths He's the sixth manager to ddpart | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
the Championship club He wasn't number one for very long | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
and now he has gone. clubs in a short space of thme. | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
Walter Zenga's CV revealed lany But he insisted Wolves | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
would be different. Do you believe you will be | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
here for the long haul? But the axe fell after just 87 days, | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
17 games, seven defeats, Wolves legendary manager St`n Cullis | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
was born on this day He was manager here at Molineux | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
for 16 years, including 672 league There are no plans to erect | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
a similar statue to mark thd brief Yet only ten days ago, | :13:02. | :13:12. | |
Zenga had acknowledged he ndeded My job is under pressure | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
and if you are thinking there is someone in two months can | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
make everything perfect 100$, please, give me his phone ntmber | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
because I have to call him In Wolverhampton city centrd today, | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
fans had a mixed reaction I'm surprised he lasted | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
this long, to be honest. I thought it was a bit | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
of a ridiculous appointment It's his own fault because he had | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
the money and after Saturdax's result, I think it was | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
a no-brainer. I think Zenga has been harshly dealt | :13:51. | :13:51. | |
with and he's had a lot of bad luck. So less than three months | :13:52. | :14:00. | |
after believing Walter Zeng` was the right man for the job, | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
Wolves are looking for the next right man to get the club | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
moving upwards again. So, Ian, do you think | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
they have a new manager in lind There are two names prominent on the | :14:11. | :14:26. | |
bookies list of favourites tonight. One is the Portuguese managdr Marco | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
Silver and the other is forler England boss Sam Allardyce born just | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
a few miles from here. What does the former Wolves legend make of today's | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
developments? It has come as a bit of a shock because I thought he had | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
endeared himself well to thd fans. Having said that, we know football | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
on it results business. Havd the Chinese owners acted hastilx and do | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
you think they -- you are confident they will get it right next time? We | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
won't know if they will get it right. We thought Walter Zenga was | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
going to be OK, and he was. But the last five games, one draw which was | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
with Aston Villa. We all know how crazy that was because Wolvds | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
absolutely battered Aston Vhlla especially in the second half. Aston | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
Villa went on to win a couple of games and Wolves have gone on to | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
lose a couple of games. That is what happens in football. I think it is | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
very lucky that I can understand why the owners have decided to lake the | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
change. One interesting devdlopment, a well-placed source within the club | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
tells me there will be no ilminent appointment here, not within the | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
text 48 hours. Rob Edwards will take temporary charge while the club | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
makes a thorough investigathon into the new manager. | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
Latest retail figures suggest the decline in local high streets | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
may to slowing down, with fewer small shops | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
Our Business Correspondent, Peter Plisner, is in | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
Peter, the figures also suggest larger shopping centres | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
Well, tonight we're in Cottdridge which for many years has suffered | :16:11. | :16:27. | |
from empty shop syndrome, but in the last six months | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
many of those empty shops have suddenly started | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
There are several new busindsses here, although, sadly, | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
Hereford, Leamington Spa and Newcastle-under-Lyme have done | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
well with more shop opening than closing, but that | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
places like Wolverhampton, Nuneaton and Tamworth | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
saw the opposite happen with more shops closing down. | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
The good news is that compared with a year ago the number of shops | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
closures across the West Midlands was down 21%, the biggest | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
According to experts - the figures illustrate how our high | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
There is no doubt that the overriding trend | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
is still towards the Interndt, but I think what we have sedn this | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
time round in our survey is that, actually, that rate of declhne | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
of the high street is slowing and the high street is prob`bly | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
finding its place again, although it's changing in tdrms | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
of being more experience drhven more leisure driven. | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
Things like coffee shops, restaurants, take aways | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
Fashion and other stores are still struggling a little bit. | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
But some retailers just carry on regardless and not far | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
from here there's a couple who've been running their traditional | :17:37. | :17:38. | |
corner shop for more than half a century. | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
Setting up shop, a daily routine that's kept Derek | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
and Pauline Hughes busy for the last 53 years. | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
This is one of the last traditional corner shops left in Birmingham | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
And in that time they've sedn a lot of shops disappear forever. | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
The newsagents was just in front there, that was a general store | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
that thing over there and then the one over this side, | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
it used to be a sweet shop when we first came. | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
So how has their shop survived when others haven't? | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
Often likened to Arkright's corner shop in the BBC's Open All Hours - | :18:12. | :18:27. | |
here there's even an old cash till, too. | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
You always get the, "Oh, it's like Open All Hours," | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
which we laugh about, but it is... | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
This one doesn't trap your finger, though. | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
Derek's family has always bden in retail - this was | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
his grandfather's shop in nearby Stirchely. | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
One thing they used to sell there was barrels of beetroot. | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
They used to boil their own beetroot in the back and we used to have | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
But then, as now, the most hmportant thing to a corner shop are customers | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
Nothing is too much trouble for them. | :19:00. | :19:09. | |
When you've got a little problem, you just come | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
So this is clearly one corndr shop that neither supermarkets nor | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
internet shopping will ever put out of business. | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
A lot of shops traditionallx make a lot of their money in the rtn-up to | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
Christmas. With Christmas around the corner, I think high Street | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
struggling around the region, they will be hoping the end of 2016 will | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
be a bumper time. One thing I've noticed here, no Christmas lights, | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
perhaps a sign of austere thmes in some high streets. There is still | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
time yet! And Q. -- thank you. An artist who has been using sound | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
to help cancer patients recover Life Echo was developed | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
to help stimulate memories, 84-year-old Gerald McCarty hs one | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
of those who's used the therapy He says the sound project | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
has helped him come out Our Arts Reporter Satnam Rana has | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
been to meet him and to find out how his memories are being shared | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
in a new exhibition. These sounds of cycling havd | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
unlocked memories from 1950 when Gerard McCarty too part | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
in road races. And it just one part of Lifd Echo - | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
a project which the 84-year,old has taken part in as a day patidnt | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
at John Taylor Hospice in Erdington. I had written down the memories but | :20:28. | :20:42. | |
then to bring another dimension of their sound, that brings it even | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
more prominent because you can hear it at any time. And it brings you | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
back to life. The project is the brainchild | :20:55. | :21:02. | |
of Jason Wiggan a who's exibiting at | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
Birmingham Open Media He created soundscapes based | :21:05. | :21:05. | |
on gerald's memeories, Gaerald's friend and voluntder carer | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
Jenny Hall has come to take a listen at Birmingham Open Media | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
in the city centre. For artist Justin this experiment | :21:14. | :21:23. | |
with sound and memory started when his wife was dhagnsoed | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
with breast cancer five years ago. This turned into a research project | :21:30. | :21:41. | |
to find out where sounds ard, if they are stored within us and if not | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
we can remake them for oursdlves. What do you think about Ger`ld | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
leaving this digital sound lemory? I think it is brilliant because to | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
think of doing something like that and DHEA is, as well, I think it is | :21:58. | :22:05. | |
wonderful. -- the age peers. Enjoy life from your memories. Wh`t you | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
can remember and with other people and you can share the memorhes with | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
other people and help them to bring the pictures and the sound to life. | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
And you can listen to his lhfe story through sound at Deming open media | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
from now on tour January 27. -- Birmingham. | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
They're some of the biggest names in rock and roll and they once took | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
It's been nearly 40 years shnce Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
But this week, they're back - well, sort of. | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
It's the story of one of the greatest recording | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
Million Dollar Quartet chronicles the day Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins got together at Sun Studios in | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
Back in home city, in the role of Carl Perkins, is born and bred | :23:02. | :23:10. | |
Without this music, the mushc today would not sound as it does. Thanks | :23:11. | :23:22. | |
to these guys in this studio, we have this music we have tod`y. | :23:23. | :23:23. | |
Sam Phillips was the man who discovered and recorded | :23:24. | :23:25. | |
Playing him is someone who knows a thing or two about hit | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
You never know the value of the moment until it becomes a mdmory. | :23:30. | :23:39. | |
When that music is put and fast forward 20 years, it brings people | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
alive because they remember where they were, how they were fedling, | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
what they were smiling, what they were looking like. | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
This week it may be actors playing the songs, but some of their real | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
life counterparts have been here before, many years ago. | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
John Weston went to hundreds of rock 'n' roll gigs in the 1960s, | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
including the night Jerry Lde Lewis played the Birmingham Hippodrome. | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
With countless memories from the time, the one John | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
cherishes most is the day he got to meet Jerry Lee | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
When I went in, there was jtst a set ENT was sitting there and I was | :24:15. | :24:24. | |
dumbstruck to start with. Hd came over and shook my hand. He was | :24:25. | :24:34. | |
really nice. There was nobody else, just Sam Pepys and Jerry Led Lewis. | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
The best 30 minutes of my lhfe. And it's not just Jerry Lee, | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
Johnny Cash also graced the stage We were probably one of the key | :24:42. | :24:53. | |
venues in the city for music back in the 50s and 60s where theatre was | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
really changing. The advent of rock 'n' roll had made a difference to | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
programming is so there werd some big names here. | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
Million Dollar Quartet is at the Hippodrome until Saturday. | :25:05. | :25:13. | |
Any chance of the sun putting in an appearance | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
We have all the systems in place for a lovely few days and more of this, | :25:18. | :25:27. | |
some pleasant sunshine to start the day, particularly in the north. Look | :25:28. | :25:36. | |
at this spectacular sunrise. This is how it is looking for the rdmainder | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
of the week. It will turn mhld and apart from misty night and lornings, | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
it is quite settled with best of the sunshine in the south, parthcularly | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
during tomorrow and Thursdax. Here is the pressure chart, you can see | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
the high pressure has removdd a bid itself to the south. It is sitting | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
on and will be drawing in whnds from south westerly direction. | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
Temperatures will pick up over the next few days. We have more chance | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
of seeing sunshine in the south of the region tomorrow and Thursday | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
because winds will be slightly stronger. Tonight, looking `t a lot | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
of cloud and where it breaks, mist and fog developing quite widely It | :26:20. | :26:30. | |
is sitting there this evening and during the early hours we whll see | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
mist and fog developing. Temperatures dropping to about seven | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
Celsius here and a bit lower in the countryside where we may sed frost | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
in sheltered spots. Tomorrow morning, that south-westerlx already | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
in place so it will start to lift the temperatures, introducing milder | :26:48. | :26:55. | |
air with highs of around 15,16dC. Just the odd spot of rain hdre and | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
there but it will be a sunnx day once that mist and fog has | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
disbursed. Tomorrow night, sunshine tomorrow, clear skies tomorrow night | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
with the prospect of mist and fog developing quite widely and there | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
will be a split between northerners out for the rest of the week with | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
the best of the sunshine in the South. | :27:20. | :27:20. | |
Tomorrow we meet a Syrian rdfugee who's hoping to become | :27:21. | :27:22. | |
Helal Albaarini was part of the official UN relocation | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
programme when he arrived in Birmingham earlier this xear | :27:27. | :27:28. | |
He's now hoping to play football full time. | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
