:01:56. > :02:04.light of the terror attacks in Berlin, they are now reviewing their
:02:05. > :02:10.security measures in Birmingham and increasing their patrols. I've been
:02:11. > :02:13.here since early this morning. And whilst sometimes sombre, people here
:02:14. > :02:17.have told me they are determined to celebrate their Christmas at the
:02:18. > :02:22.German market. The shutters were going up this
:02:23. > :02:28.morning, business as usual at Birmingham's Christmas market. The
:02:29. > :02:32.largest outside of Germany. Stallholders and shoppers had a mood
:02:33. > :02:36.not of fear but of defiance. My family have been trading in
:02:37. > :02:41.Birmingham for 100 years. They've seen the Luftwaffe here and the IRA
:02:42. > :02:45.bombed the city. My standpoint is nothing would intimidate me. Of
:02:46. > :02:49.course it's really sad about what happened but you've got to carry on
:02:50. > :02:53.with your life. If you dwell on it too much, and sit back and don't do
:02:54. > :02:57.anything, you would become a hermit and never go anywhere. The security
:02:58. > :03:02.services were expecting an outrage somewhere in Europe, targeting a
:03:03. > :03:09.Christmas event. The terror attack on bailing nearly claimed the life
:03:10. > :03:14.of this man from Birmingham. A large truck came through. It went past me
:03:15. > :03:17.and my girlfriend. It missed me by about three metres, thereby about
:03:18. > :03:21.five. It came into the entrance, hit the sides of the barriers and then
:03:22. > :03:28.carried on past us. Low key and out of sight. Police armed response
:03:29. > :03:33.teams, sat in their unmarked, blacked out cars at strategic sites
:03:34. > :03:38.around the market area. Foot patrols were more visible. One trader said
:03:39. > :03:44.the British police response was far better than those you'd experienced
:03:45. > :03:49.in Europe. I am from Slovakia. When we have a Christmas market in our
:03:50. > :03:54.country, there is no security at all. Maybe two policeman for the
:03:55. > :03:58.whole thing. It's pretty good here. I like it. He reinforced concrete
:03:59. > :04:04.bollards are here to stop any vehicles gaining access to the
:04:05. > :04:09.market area. West Midlands Police say they formed part of the original
:04:10. > :04:14.safety plan and are not part of any new or specific intelligence.
:04:15. > :04:18.Additional bollards were installed just before the Berlin attack.
:04:19. > :04:25.Tonight, the police said they were reviewing their security tactics on
:04:26. > :04:30.a daily basis. The worst thing is if you are scared to leave your house.
:04:31. > :04:34.Then they've won. We've got to carry on, haven't we? Carry on and not let
:04:35. > :04:40.people stop you doing what you normally do with your life. Every
:04:41. > :04:45.year, the city's German market has grown now attracting over 5 million
:04:46. > :04:50.visitors. Such is the scale of this event that those who wish to make a
:04:51. > :04:54.statement to create will also inevitably cast their eyes at
:04:55. > :05:01.Birmingham. With me now is a security expert,
:05:02. > :05:04.Doctor Steve Hewitt, from the University of Birmingham. Steve,
:05:05. > :05:09.clearly the security services were expecting this type of attack but
:05:10. > :05:15.they couldn't prevent it. You think back two years ago, this month,
:05:16. > :05:19.there were two attacks in France on market, one involving a fan and the
:05:20. > :05:25.other a car. Very few lives were lost. In Nice, they used a lorry in
:05:26. > :05:31.July. In Berlin, they were combining those two things. The Christmas
:05:32. > :05:34.market is very symbolic and that creates the possibility for
:05:35. > :05:39.terrorism. How likely is an attack on such a large-scale event as this
:05:40. > :05:44.one in Birmingham? There is obviously a risk but we need to put
:05:45. > :05:49.it into perspective. Driving your car is riskier, walking down your
:05:50. > :05:51.street. Cycling in Birmingham as much riskier. Statistically,
:05:52. > :05:57.terrorism is way down the list in terms of risk. It is nice to see
:05:58. > :06:02.people are out tonight because we should live our lives as normally as
:06:03. > :06:05.possible. It's a cliche but otherwise truly, the terrorists have
:06:06. > :06:11.won. West Midlands Police tonight say they are working very closely
:06:12. > :06:15.with Birmingham City Council and all the different security staff that
:06:16. > :06:20.are here at such a large-scale event to make it safe, pleasant for
:06:21. > :06:26.everyone who attends the German market in Birmingham.

:07:17. > :07:28.that he and Ms Hill hadn't declared. The judge gave him a two-year
:07:29. > :07:32.suspended prison sentence and ordered them to do 200 hours unpaid

:08:23. > :08:32.in court as in chaos. These two people were very senior in
:08:33. > :08:36.the organisation. One was a director. They had an intimate
:08:37. > :08:38.knowledge of our systems and processes and it would seem they
:08:39. > :08:40.used that to commit this fraud. They didn't want to talk to us,

:09:08. > :09:09.in Essex last year. He was shot six times at close range
:09:10. > :09:16.in a contract-style killing. John Palmer, Goldfinger. He got the
:09:17. > :09:21.nickname after being involved with the Brinks mat heist in 1983.
:09:22. > :09:27.Speaking to reporters at the time, he denied having anything to do with
:09:28. > :09:33.it. I am completely innocent of any thing to do with this so-called
:09:34. > :09:38.bullion ride. I know nothing of it. In June last year, shortly after
:09:39. > :09:41.these CCTV pictures were taken, Palmer was shot six times at his
:09:42. > :09:47.home. Four days, police didn't realise he'd been murdered, thinking
:09:48. > :09:50.he'd died as a result of gall bladder surgery. It was a mistake
:09:51. > :09:57.they since apologised for. Today, an inquest was held here in Chelmsford.
:09:58. > :10:03.The coroner concluded that he had been unlawfully killed. There was
:10:04. > :10:09.only one member of John,'s family present, a man called Ashley Phil
:10:10. > :10:14.Thorpe. He is the partner of John Palmer's daughter. He is seen here
:10:15. > :10:18.on the right leaving the hearing with policeman. DCI Jennings gave
:10:19. > :10:21.evidence and said the murder investigation is ongoing. One
:10:22. > :10:25.problem and detectives have is the sheer number of people who might
:10:26. > :10:31.have had a motive to kill Palmer. In relation to his four conviction in
:10:32. > :10:35.2001, they were listed anything up to or above 16,000 victims. There
:10:36. > :10:40.could been 16,000 motives why he was killed in relation to that. And
:10:41. > :10:44.there is criminality involving the Brinks mat. A number of people
:10:45. > :10:49.involved in that crime have now been either killed or died. That was a
:10:50. > :10:53.much consideration. And Hatton Gardens as well possible involvement
:10:54. > :11:05.there. Possible. It was a line of in Cairo -- enquiry. Police say someone
:11:06. > :11:09.involved in the criminal underworld know who killed John Palmer. Today,
:11:10. > :11:11.officers renewed their appeal for anyone with any information to come
:11:12. > :11:16.forward. The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,

:13:52. > :13:56.shell and it's so good to see her happy. It has opened a whole new
:13:57. > :14:01.world. You can see how friendly everyone is. They are wonderful
:14:02. > :14:06.people. They've all got a story to tell. We are all chatting and having
:14:07. > :14:10.a lovely lunch and doing exercises. We are thoroughly enjoying it. Who

:16:38. > :16:39.over big lumps of soil. Increasingly, farmers are starting

:16:42. > :16:43.ploughed for four years now. It's rich, crumbly and

:22:00. > :22:08.to do something extraordinary. I can see a wave coming! And there will be
:22:09. > :22:11.pain along the way. A lot of sore bottoms and skin that leaves a lot
:22:12. > :22:14.of attention. We might have to examine each other's patterns from
:22:15. > :22:19.time to time to make sure they are as healthy as they can be. You might
:22:20. > :22:22.be wondering why we haven't seen these ladies in a boat yet and you
:22:23. > :22:28.know what, those are very good reason for that. They haven't had it
:22:29. > :22:30.built yet. Building starts in January and hopefully it will be
:22:31. > :22:33.completed by the end of March. But before that, they're raising
:22:34. > :22:35.?150,000 sponsorship What's more, two of them have
:22:36. > :23:00.scarily little experience, September. Are you crazy? Probably.
:23:01. > :23:02.Yes. I cant work out if they are inspirational or plain bonkers!
:23:03. > :23:04.The Christmas angels have arrived a little early in Lichfield -
:23:05. > :23:06.and they're certainly making an impact.
:23:07. > :23:10.Just be aware this may contain some flashing images.
:23:11. > :23:12.Sian Grzeszczyk is at the Cathedral this evening.
:23:13. > :23:23.Mary, the light show is well under way. It has taken three months to
:23:24. > :23:27.put this together. There are several projectors that are beaming all
:23:28. > :23:33.kinds of that incredible artwork onto all 38 metres of the Cathedral.
:23:34. > :23:38.I am joined by the Dean of the Cathedral. It's incredible. There is
:23:39. > :23:44.a lot in it for everyone. Take us through it. Briefly, we start with
:23:45. > :23:47.customers -- Christmas customs, the excitement of Christmas, then some
:23:48. > :23:52.Christmas carols and as you can see now, we are moving into the great
:23:53. > :23:59.climax of it, which is the message of the angels, culminating in the
:24:00. > :24:03.Nativity. Let's step out of the way so people can take a really good
:24:04. > :24:07.look at what the crowds are seeing. Just looking across, everyone is
:24:08. > :24:13.completely mesmerised. What are we moving into now? Hark the Herald
:24:14. > :24:19.Angels sing. You can hear it on the soundtrack. The angels are here, it
:24:20. > :24:27.will say. Is this a more effective way of getting across the Christmas
:24:28. > :24:30.story? It's a very engaging way. Continental cathedrals do this and
:24:31. > :24:34.we thought it would be great in this field. The crowds are huge. We are
:24:35. > :24:38.expecting about 10,000 people this week to come and see it. That's
:24:39. > :24:46.quite a reach. What is your favourite part? We are coming into
:24:47. > :24:49.it now. See all the angels inside the Cathedral placard it on the west
:24:50. > :24:57.front and here they are. The angels are here. It's incredible how
:24:58. > :25:02.effective it is. Such a large front to the cathedral. Really
:25:03. > :25:06.spectacular. It is. This is English decorated architecture, the finest
:25:07. > :25:09.of its kind in the country. If you want to come along and see the show
:25:10. > :25:14.for yourself, it's on every night until Friday. 6:30pm until 8pm.
:25:15. > :25:15.Some welcome brightness around today.
:25:16. > :25:30.Thank you. Storm Barbara will be arriving by the time you get to the
:25:31. > :25:34.weekend. It's all going to be changing, which I will talk about
:25:35. > :25:39.more in a moment. First, let's take a look at the pictures. It's been
:25:40. > :25:49.quite pleasant today with lots of dry weather and sunshine. It's going
:25:50. > :25:53.to become even colder by the time we get to tomorrow night. Frost on the
:25:54. > :25:56.cards as well. Storm Barbara is going to be arriving by the time we
:25:57. > :26:01.get to the middle part of Friday. It's hurtling in from the West. By
:26:02. > :26:05.the time we get to Christmas Eve, that's when it starts to change. A
:26:06. > :26:08.lull in the weather. Another storm is heading in from the Atlantic and
:26:09. > :26:14.that will be for Christmas Day itself. This could become the third
:26:15. > :26:17.named storm of the season. I can't emphasise enough that you should be
:26:18. > :26:21.keeping in touch with the forecasts as we approach the weekend because
:26:22. > :26:26.it's going to be quite tricky. Batten down the hatches. This is a
:26:27. > :26:38.jet stream that is driving all the systems in from the Atlantic. But
:26:39. > :26:41.let's take a look at this evening and it is driver now. We've got a
:26:42. > :26:46.weather system that is moving in from the north-west. That will
:26:47. > :26:51.introduce more in the way of cloud. By the end of the night, that's when
:26:52. > :26:54.we start to see clearer skies. Before the rain arrives and by the
:26:55. > :26:58.time it clears away, we will see temperatures dropping down to three
:26:59. > :27:04.Celsius. It will be chilly but not frosty. Into tomorrow morning, the
:27:05. > :27:08.rain clears the south-eastern corner of the region. A dry spell for a
:27:09. > :27:11.time. Another system, a narrow band of rain moves in from the
:27:12. > :27:15.north-west. They could be some heavy bursts embedded in that.
:27:16. > :27:20.Temperatures will be into single figures. A colder air mass sending
:27:21. > :27:25.temperatures down to near freezing tomorrow night.
:27:26. > :27:28.On tomorrow's programme we'll be meeting some of the members
:27:29. > :27:30.of the City of Coventry Male voice choir who've been singing together
:27:31. > :27:35.They're rooted in the area's mining history but are always on the look
:27:36. > :28:02.You only grow old once, so you might as well enjoy it.
:28:03. > :28:08.Four go mad in Florida and Japan in search of the perfect retirement.
:28:09. > :28:19.The Real Marigold On Tour starts with Florida.
:28:20. > :28:25.Celebrating 20 years of one of Britain's best-loved comedians,
:28:26. > :28:30.with a collection of some of his finest and funniest festive moments,
:28:31. > :28:34.brought together for the very first time...
