:02:11. > :02:24.I should never have let him go, really, but they wanted him and I
:02:25. > :02:35.did a deal. He was one of the few that I got on very well with. He was
:02:36. > :02:41.a well-educated man, articulate, and always says what is on his mind. He
:02:42. > :02:46.involved everybody at the club, the tea lady, the man on the door, she

:03:03. > :03:03.working with him. In 1994 Taylor returned to club

:03:40. > :03:41.strong Academy structure, that is largely due to the work Graham did
:03:42. > :03:43.in the 1990s. Wolves have already lowered the flag
:03:44. > :03:46.over Molineux to half mast and are preparing a special programme for

:03:53. > :04:04.influential football managers. Dan Pallett is at Villa Park for us
:04:05. > :04:08.tonight. This has come as a tremendous shot and the affection
:04:09. > :04:13.has been obvious from the tributes paid throughout the day. It
:04:14. > :04:17.certainly has. You can possibly see behind me a beautiful photo of
:04:18. > :04:23.Graham here at Villa Park, because he was such a cherished gentleman.
:04:24. > :04:28.There have been tributes on radio, TV and online. There are so many to
:04:29. > :05:03.choose from but we can give you a few.
:05:04. > :05:13.What was his impact as manager at Aston Villa? It was enormous. He
:05:14. > :05:19.managed to avoid sacking from Doug Ellis, not many did. He joined when
:05:20. > :05:23.they were in the second division, he got them promoted, they survived and
:05:24. > :05:28.they were so close to winning the league championship, runners-up to
:05:29. > :05:30.Liverpool. Then England came calling. I was speaking to Steve
:05:31. > :05:37.Froggatt earlier today and he said Graham had a real eye for players.
:05:38. > :05:43.Dwight Yorke was bought the ?10,000, he was sold for Manchester United
:05:44. > :05:49.for ?13 million. A true gentleman, a proper footballing man.

:06:52. > :06:52.handling of Hillsborough. So, of those 23 suspects,
:06:53. > :06:55.15 are related to the cause of the disaster, and eight suspects
:06:56. > :06:59.are related to the alleged cover-up. At this stage the CPS

:07:14. > :07:15.who lost her brother She was incandescent
:07:16. > :07:18.about today's developments. She said it was absolutely
:07:19. > :07:21.disgraceful that after five years this was the best the authorities
:07:22. > :07:25.could do, 23 people. That they can scrape together eight
:07:26. > :07:27.for the alleged cover-up is an insult to the

:21:39. > :21:40.And it's the Camp Hill School that might be the very first
:21:41. > :21:43.nature school in the UK, in a location that might
:21:44. > :21:48.It was identified as the area with greatest need for a new school and
:21:49. > :21:51.we are going to create out door spaces for learning, wildlife areas,
:21:52. > :21:56.possibly beehives, very exciting. Perhaps not surprisingly parents
:21:57. > :21:58.visiting the trust's Some have already looked
:21:59. > :22:05.into applying to the new school. She loves being outdoors and we
:22:06. > :22:09.would like that for her for education really. The outside is an
:22:10. > :22:13.amazing place to learn and I think you can have so many experiences
:22:14. > :22:17.that are not traditional education that still give you the same
:22:18. > :22:18.knowledge that you would have in a classroom, so I think it is
:22:19. > :22:20.brilliant. If all goes very well the UK's first
:22:21. > :22:23.nature school could open A charity is on the lookout
:22:24. > :22:30.for volunteer "otter spotters" Otter numbers had been
:22:31. > :22:34.in decline since the 1950s because of habitat loss
:22:35. > :22:38.and pesticide use. But improvements in water quality
:22:39. > :22:41.mean they have made a comeback. Now the Canal and River Trust wants
:22:42. > :22:44.local people to build a better picture of where otters
:22:45. > :22:57.are most active. If you are of a certain vintage, the
:22:58. > :23:05.names giant haystacks and Big Daddy will be familiar.
:23:06. > :23:06.36-year-old wrestler Trent Seven, from Wolverhampton,

:24:04. > :24:10.will stage their first British title.
:24:11. > :24:15.I think Trent has a great opportunity to make it through this
:24:16. > :24:24.tournament. He is one of my favourites to wind this thing. Trent
:24:25. > :24:26.has everything. -- to win this thing.
:24:27. > :24:29.It's less than a year since sales manager Ben Webb gave up his job
:24:30. > :24:47.It is not so bad when he does the more entertainment side of it but
:24:48. > :24:49.the moves and the head slams and the body drops, I shut my eyes and grit
:24:50. > :24:51.my teeth really! Training alongside Trent
:24:52. > :25:01.is 19-year-old Tyler Bate. Now I am getting a chance to
:25:02. > :25:05.actually showcase how good I am at wrestling to the WWE and hopefully
:25:06. > :25:07.it leads on to something even bigger than just this tournament.
:25:08. > :25:09.Trent is also preparing for a world title under
:25:10. > :25:11.the Insane Championship Wrestling banner next month.
:25:12. > :25:23.Now he's dreaming of becoming a household name around the world.
:25:24. > :25:27.We will of course let you know how he gets on!
:25:28. > :25:29.Let's get some more detail on the snow, Rebecca is braving
:25:30. > :25:36.the chilly temperatures outside our offices.
:25:37. > :25:43.It is bitterly cold, due to northerly winds.
:25:44. > :25:45.Very chilly out and about tonight, the temperature has plummeted
:25:46. > :25:47.and despite gritters being sent out across the region
:25:48. > :25:49.conditions this evening are likely to be icy
:25:50. > :25:51.and we have a Met Office yellow weather warning
:25:52. > :25:55.in place for ice overnight tonight into tomorrow.
:25:56. > :25:59.We still have a yellow weather warning for snow through to tonight
:26:00. > :26:01.across Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire.
:26:02. > :26:13.But we also have another yellow weather warning for snow tomorrow
:26:14. > :26:15.in the Welsh borders of Shropshire, where further snow
:26:16. > :26:19.The low pressure system that brought rain and some sleet and snow
:26:20. > :26:23.changed to a northerly, bringing much colder
:26:24. > :26:26.So for tonight temperatures are plummeting, there
:26:27. > :26:29.is still the possibility of a few wintry showers blowing
:26:30. > :26:30.down from the north, particularly over higher ground.
:26:31. > :26:33.And under clearing skies we can expect a widespread frost
:26:34. > :26:35.with lows of minus two, a very cold night to come.
:26:36. > :26:39.Surfaces tomorrow are likely to be icy so do take care on the roads
:26:40. > :26:44.Stay tuned to your BBC local radio station throughout the morning.
:26:45. > :26:47.As well as the risk of ice we also have some showers sinking
:26:48. > :26:49.southwards during the morning, which again could lead to some
:26:50. > :26:53.Once those clear we'll be left with a fine and dry day,
:26:54. > :26:55.bitterly cold in northerly winds, but cold and crisp with
:26:56. > :26:58.plenty of brightness - but in that wind chill temperatures
:26:59. > :27:01.will feel more like sub-zero, so even though they might
:27:02. > :27:13.get up to five Celsius, it will feel more like minus one or two.
:27:14. > :27:19.Another fine, dry but chilly day on the way on Saturday,
:27:20. > :27:22.staying bright and the winds still fairly strong, so again
:27:23. > :27:25.temperatures are likely to feel much colder in the winds.
:27:26. > :27:32.It is not until Sunday when a weather system comes through that we
:27:33. > :27:36.start to get less cold. But we are not done yet because it is going to
:27:37. > :27:41.get much colder by the end of next week.
:27:42. > :27:43.I'll be back at 10.30 with your next news,
:27:44. > :28:13.when we'll have more tributes to Graham Taylor, who has
:28:14. > :28:13...and keep telling yourself over and over, "This will end."
:28:14. > :28:14.Ladies and gentlemen, the bride and groom.
:28:15. > :28:17.So what if I forgot our poxy anniversary?
:28:18. > :28:20.Er, I think this year was copper. 14th is poxy.
:28:21. > :28:22.Marriage is a marathon, not a sprint.
:28:23. > :28:24.Like a marathon, you have to keep on going...
:28:25. > :28:29...drink as much as you can... Please tell me you can see them, too.
:28:30. > :28:34...and keep telling yourself over and over, "This will end."
