:03:09. > :03:14.now? That is racist. It's nonsense. They're just having

:03:26. > :03:30.nothing to do with race. We're model control society, we don't do that.
:03:31. > :03:33.It's not something that should have have done, and I don't know who gave

:04:38. > :04:39.the Health Secretary said the problem of patients waiting
:04:40. > :04:47.on trolleys was mainly down to two West Midlands hospitals.
:04:48. > :04:50.The most recent statistics show that nearly three quarters of trolley
:04:51. > :04:53.In Worcestershire in particular, there have been a number
:04:54. > :04:56.of unacceptably long trolley waits, and in the media, two reported
:04:57. > :05:03.We're also aware of ongoing problems in north Midlands,
:05:04. > :05:09.with extremely high numbers of 12-hour trolley waits.
:05:10. > :05:11.In response, the Shadow Health Secretary, Jonathan Ashworth,
:05:12. > :05:15.asked Mr Hunt if the Government would take action over the deaths.
:05:16. > :05:18.One of the most upsetting reports to come out of hospitals last week

:05:36. > :05:38.Karen Lumley, who earlier this afternoon held an urgent meeting
:05:39. > :05:40.with the Health Secretary to talk about the problems
:05:41. > :05:42.at the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.
:05:43. > :05:47.First of all, where you happy with what Mr Hunt had to say?
:05:48. > :05:52.We talked about the situation that has been ongoing in both the
:05:53. > :05:57.Worcester royal and Alexandra Hospital over the last few weeks.
:05:58. > :06:01.And what the Health Secretary could do to alleviate some of those
:06:02. > :06:06.problems. More importantly, what he could do to make sure this doesn't
:06:07. > :06:10.happen again. I'm very keen that we put a bit in the expanded capacity
:06:11. > :06:15.at both hospitals. I want him to look at that bid very seriously. I
:06:16. > :06:19.was in that debate this afternoon, and I specifically asked him about
:06:20. > :06:24.that. He said he would lick sympathetically on that bid.
:06:25. > :06:28.With the idea of expansion in mind at the moment is, the Alex in
:06:29. > :06:33.Redditch is looking at having its A downgraded, is this not an
:06:34. > :06:38.opportunity to say to the Health Secretary, we need that A
:06:39. > :06:42.apartment? We have a department...
:06:43. > :06:49.It's being downgraded? 85 % of people can go to that A I
:06:50. > :06:54.was there talking to the staff, making sure they were OK. We owe
:06:55. > :07:01.those staff a great deal of our gratitude. In that debate this
:07:02. > :07:06.afternoon, there was over 100 members of Parliament, across the
:07:07. > :07:09.country, who have stories to tell that -
:07:10. > :07:16.not as bad as ours - but tale of difficult times ahead.
:07:17. > :07:19.Staffer under very huge pressure, did he give you any assurances about
:07:20. > :07:24.additional staff, support, more funding?
:07:25. > :07:29.There were assurances that they are putting additional support in now.
:07:30. > :07:35.They are also opening another ward to alleviate some of these problems.
:07:36. > :07:38.As I said to you, in the short term, that is what is needed. In the
:07:39. > :07:43.longer term, we need to make sure that this doesn't happen again next
:07:44. > :07:48.year, and that we have these plans in place that make sure our
:07:49. > :07:53.hospitals are equipped to deliver what we should be delivering for our
:07:54. > :07:56.residents. I don't want to have to be looking at that again. My
:07:57. > :08:05.condolences go out to those families today who have lost relatives.
:08:06. > :08:09.Thank you very much. In a statement, the trust told us as they are
:08:10. > :08:13.currently holding internal reviews into all three of those deaths, and
:08:14. > :08:18.how they are completed, they cannot comment borough. They say they are
:08:19. > :08:22.working hard to reduce the times that patients are waiting on
:08:23. > :08:24.trolleys, but they accept that some are waiting longer than the like,
:08:25. > :08:27.and they apologise for that. A coroner has recorded
:08:28. > :08:29.a verdict of accidental death after a 10-year-old boy
:08:30. > :08:32.from Hereford was found hanged It had been suggested that
:08:33. > :08:36.Alfie Hyett had been taking part But the police told today's
:08:37. > :08:40.inquest they could find no Alfie Hyett, described
:08:41. > :08:51.by his teacher at today's inquest as a very
:08:52. > :08:55.happy ten-year-old. Yet, last March his mother Louise
:08:56. > :08:58.found him hanged by a school scarf on his
:08:59. > :09:03.bedroom door handle. He could not be revived
:09:04. > :09:07.and was pronounced dead at hospital. This is Alfie's room,
:09:08. > :09:10.as you can tell, very, very tidy. In the summer, Alfie's mum
:09:11. > :09:16.Louise told Midlands Today she was convinced her son had been
:09:17. > :09:20.taking part in a web craze, a so-called choking game -
:09:21. > :09:24.starving the brain of oxygen cause Detective Sergeant Mark
:09:25. > :09:30.Jinks from West Mercia Police told the inquest that he had
:09:31. > :09:34.investigated suggestions that Alfie might have been taking part in some
:09:35. > :09:40.sort of choking game when he died. The youngster's Xbox and laptop
:09:41. > :09:43.were examined but there was no evidence to suggest he had been
:09:44. > :09:47.researching the game. Several classmates were
:09:48. > :09:51.also interviewed but there was no suggestion
:09:52. > :09:53.that the choking game had been a talking point before
:09:54. > :10:03.Alfie's death. Alfie's family did not
:10:04. > :10:05.want to talk to camera convinced her son
:10:06. > :10:08.was playing a game. The coroner said he was satisfied
:10:09. > :10:12.Alfie had tied the scarf around his neck but not satisfied
:10:13. > :10:15.he intended to take his life. Recording of verdict of accidental
:10:16. > :10:20.death, he said he believed this was an accident of childish
:10:21. > :10:29.curiosity or experimentation. Two people died in a burning car
:10:30. > :10:33.after a crash that shut part of the M6 in Warwickshire
:10:34. > :10:37.in the early hours of this morning. Their vehicle hit a barrier
:10:38. > :10:40.on the motorway near Corley Services A man and a woman were
:10:41. > :10:45.confirmed dead at the scene. The road was closed for several

:10:53. > :10:55.faced long delays today after a boulder fell onto a railway
:10:56. > :10:59.line during a landslip. The mass of rock tumbled
:11:00. > :11:02.onto the line near Chalford. Engineers have spent the day
:11:03. > :11:05.breaking it up into smaller pieces, but Network Rail says the line may

:11:20. > :11:21.to cope with anything of the size that we saw fall
:11:22. > :11:24.onto the track today. So that's one of the questions
:11:25. > :11:27.were going to have to ask ourselves about the geological knowledge

:12:13. > :12:25.is this decision? The biggest blow is for passengers,
:12:26. > :12:30.because this train was due to relieve overcrowding on that line.
:12:31. > :12:36.This is the trainer currently runs on it, pretty noisy as well. There
:12:37. > :12:42.is a national shortage in the UK of diesel trains at the moment. It's a
:12:43. > :12:46.blow to Vivarail, the Warwickshire-based company. Their
:12:47. > :12:52.test train caught fire on December 30. They had been due to start a
:12:53. > :12:56.trial in February. A partnership of councils, including the West
:12:57. > :12:59.Midlands Combined Authority and London Midland have effectively
:13:00. > :13:06.pulled the plug. With me from London Midland is Francis Thomas, why have
:13:07. > :13:09.they made that decision? Vivarail tell as their programme
:13:10. > :13:13.goes back three months, that means we do not have time to run the
:13:14. > :13:17.programme before the change of franchise in the summer.

:13:36. > :13:41.route that has seen two new stations open in the last 18 months.
:13:42. > :13:44.My kind you find any other diesel trains?
:13:45. > :13:47.Every train company in the country is playing the same game, chasing

:23:14. > :23:16.Well, mystery continues to surround the identity of the couple,
:23:17. > :23:19.with some claiming it could be a publicity stunt.

:23:46. > :23:50.I think she feels humiliated by Graham, so she has he related him. I
:23:51. > :23:56.don't think it's revenge. It's very boldly.
:23:57. > :24:01.Do you think it is my it mean? No.
:24:02. > :24:05.Yes. She's properly hanging him out to
:24:06. > :24:09.dry. If he has been paying away from
:24:10. > :24:14.home, he has only himself to blame. I think Linda should come in and
:24:15. > :24:19.have a chat and a copy about Graham! With the images going viral on
:24:20. > :24:23.social media, the poster company are refusing to comments, but had told
:24:24. > :24:29.friends that Linda is a genuine customer, and this is not a PR
:24:30. > :24:33.stunt. But hasn't it gone too far? Just be very careful what you say, I
:24:34. > :24:39.don't think Linda made for it to be shared in America and be on the BBC,
:24:40. > :24:43.but it's out there now for everyone to see. It's and anti-love story,
:24:44. > :24:50.but it is so intriguing, who is she, why has he done this? Can we help
:24:51. > :24:53.out? I think it's great. Through this entries, Warwick Castle
:24:54. > :24:57.has seen a few acts of revenge, and this is nothing new to this town. On
:24:58. > :25:01.the 14th century, prisoners will be held in a cell where sewage would be
:25:02. > :25:08.poured upon them, and they would be left to die. Today, there's no sign
:25:09. > :25:12.of grain here. The identities of both Graham and Linda remain a
:25:13. > :25:16.mystery, although this bar owner claims he knows Linda's true
:25:17. > :25:22.identity, and has even offered her a bottle of champagne.
:25:23. > :25:26.All I know is who Linda is, I am not quick to say any more. If she wants
:25:27. > :25:29.to lay low, I'm not going to change that.
:25:30. > :25:34.There could be a final twist in this sad love story, flyposting is
:25:35. > :25:39.illegal, and guilty parties could be fined.
:25:40. > :25:51.Oh, Graham! There are rumours of snow, search Farley is here to give
:25:52. > :25:54.us the forecast. Our cameraman, Joe, over there has confirmed some big
:25:55. > :26:00.fat flakes of snow at Edgbaston earlier today. There could be more
:26:01. > :26:04.substantial snow later this week, but lets concentrate on the
:26:05. > :26:12.miserable conditions today. But this picture looks quite nice. We should
:26:13. > :26:16.title this, And Then The Heavens Opened. This was the reality of this
:26:17. > :26:22.situation once the rain got going, it was miserable, very wet. Just
:26:23. > :26:24.three hours ago, this was the situation across Staffordshire,
:26:25. > :26:29.things drying up with some breaks in the cloud. This is how the rest of
:26:30. > :26:34.the week is shaping up. At the moment, it has been wet and cloudy,
:26:35. > :26:40.by the time we get to midweek, the colder hair and windier conditions
:26:41. > :26:47.start to move in. Those will be with us right until the end of the week.
:26:48. > :26:49.At this stage, for the Midlands, just wintry showers, nothing to
:26:50. > :26:56.substantial. This is what is bringing in the colder air, and
:26:57. > :27:01.northwesterly breeze from the Arctic, that is what's going to
:27:02. > :27:04.cover the entire country. That is going to bring in some substantial
:27:05. > :27:09.snow to parts of the north of the country, Wales as well, and also the
:27:10. > :27:14.East Midlands. That's weather warnings are. For us, it looks like
:27:15. > :27:18.we have no snow at all for most areas, certainly at lower levels.
:27:19. > :27:24.Actor this evening, write out there as a result of the rain earlier.

:28:03. > :28:13.have been warned about the risks? but it's not always

:28:20. > :28:22.now competing. There's no beds. I do the right thing
:28:23. > :28:27.all the time in this job, but it's not always
:28:28. > :28:31.the right thing for one person. I do the right thing
