Thousands of fish feared dead as a stretch of | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
People come here to feed them, but it's going to be a sad loss | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
and I think it's going to take a long time before it | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Local people are being warned to keep livestock and pets away | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
As Donald Trump becomes US President, we get the view | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
from the Whitehouse - the other one. | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
When the pavement becomes a road - confusion over shared spaces causing | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
They reduce my independence, they reduce where I can | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
The stuff of dreams, from making music in a converted bedroom | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
in Coventry to being nominated for an award in LA. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
And as we get revved up for the weekend you might be | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
wondering whether we're in line for more sunshine, | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
I'll have a full forecast, and find out why I'm at the Genting | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
It's feared thousands of fish may have been killed after a river | :01:04. | :01:19. | |
The Environment Agency has set up an incident room, | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
after chemicals were found in the River Morda, near Oswestry. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
The water company United Utilities says there has been an issue | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
at its nearby water treatment works and is investigating. | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Bob Hockenhull is in Oswestry for us tonight. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Brown trout and heels have been affected in the Morda. | :01:36. | :02:04. | |
It may look beautiful in the winter sun, but last night local people | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
were sickened to see hundreds of fish gasping | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
Acid from a nearby water treatment works flowed into the Morda, | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
Staff at Western Pools Fishery witnessed the river | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
They fear it'll take years for the habitat to recover. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
The river was white and there was evidence of dead and dying fish. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
They seemed to have a problem with oxygen. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
The length of time it's taken to build up this system, | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
the complete ecosystem, the invertebrates, the stuff | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
on which they feed, plus four or five generations of trout | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
which spawned after the original, all wiped out. | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
A mile and a half from the fishery, this is | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
They've confirmed there has been an incident here and they're working | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
By this afternoon, the dead fish had been washed downstream after water | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
levels were raised to flush the pollution out. | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
The Environment Agency has launched an investigation and is working | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
There's acid that has gone into this river. | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
Even for our staff that are working here today | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
and the work that we're doing, we have to be exceptionally | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
I advise people to keep their pets, themselves out of the water and, | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
where possible, keep livestock out of the water | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
Fortunately, the pollution doesn't appear to have got | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
But the owners fear it'll be a long time before the River Morda is once | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
A lot of work has been done to clean up the Morda in recent years and | :03:34. | :03:50. | |
people love coming here to see the brown trout in the clear water. The | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
fishery staff see the believe this stretch is now dead but the | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
Environment Agency is beating a slightly better spent on it. They | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
are saying the river is already beginning to you. -- recover. | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
Millions watched today as Donald Trump was sworn in | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
But around the world there have been protests, | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
from a group whose tag line is 'Build bridges, not walls.' | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
Joanne Writtle went to see one such protest in the historic | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
setting of Ironbridge and she's been gathering more | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
As Donald Trump became the 45th president of the | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
a peaceful protest had taken place in the unlikely setting | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
of historic Ironbridge - birthplace of the | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
It was one of 100 such demonstations by the group Bridges Not Walls. | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
We see a lot of kindness around us every day, really, | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
and just to reinforce that and recognise it and celebrate it | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
and encourage people to focus on that rather than negativity | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
and divisiveness that's been characterising our politics lately. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
We don't really know what's going to happen and it's nice | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
to join together with similar people to build bridges and get | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
There's a lot of suspicion and fear, both in Europe with Brexit and also | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
Trump is, from his personality, a president which we have | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
never experienced before and we don't actually know. | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
In the summer, Ironbridge is packed with tourists and today's winter | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
sunshine brought out the visitors too, all with views | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
I have my doubts about whether he's wired up right. | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
Some of the things he says are excellent, but some | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
of the other things, I think he's just gone | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
My view is to give him a bit of time and just see how it goes. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
We're living in a world that's changing rapidly and all sorts | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
of uncertainties and he's not a politician. | :05:49. | :05:49. | |
Many experts say Pennsysvannia was the state that swung it | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
for Trump, an area suffering from a decline in industry. | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
It's where mum of two Cathy Wardius is from. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
I think, like most Americans, we're apprehneisve because we don't | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
know what the next four years are going to bring. | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
But then, like I said, I know a lot of really good hard | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
working people who had voted for him who are optimistic that he'll bring | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
jobs back and do the things that he promised. | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
I wonder how they're feeling at the White House right now. | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
I think it's the most scariest thing that I've ever heard of. | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
He's scary because I think if anybody's going to push | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
the button, he's going to be the one to do it. | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
He may have his sceptics, but President Trump gave this message: | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Together, we will make America great again. | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
Thank you, God bless you and God bless America. | :06:49. | :07:04. | |
A man's appeared before Walsall magistrates charged | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
40-year-old Kulwinder Kaur was found dead | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
at her home, in Gomer Street, in Willenhall, on Wednesday. | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
46-year-old Azad Singh was remanded in custody | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
and is due to appear before Wolverhampton Crown Court on Monday. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
Police are appealing for witnesses, after a man was arrested | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
on suspicion of robbery, following two incidents | :07:25. | :07:25. | |
The first took place at the BP Garage on Stratford Road in Warwick, | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
where it's alleged an armed man demanded money from the till. | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Less than half an hour later, an armed man is believed to have | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
demanded cash from the Heart of England Co-op on Church Road | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
A 29-year-old from Leamington Spa has been bailed with conditions | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
until the beginning of March while investigations continue. | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
The search for a company to design, build and maintain high speed trains | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
for the HS2 project, has been launched by the Government. | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
Up to 60 trains will be needed and the contract to build them | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
Construction work on phase one from London to Birmingham is due | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
The Transport Secretary Chris Grayling says the project should be | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
given royal assent in the next month. | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
This is the real thing, this is the start of | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
the construction of HS2, a huge project that will | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
transform our country, will transform our transport system | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
and will create huge opportunities for people | :08:21. | :08:21. | |
The Labour MEP Sion Simon has formally launched his campaign to be | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
elected West Midlands "Metro Mayor" in just over three months. | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
He told an invited audience at a training centre | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
in Wolverhampton that, if elected, he would fight | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
for fairer Government funding for the West Midlands | :08:37. | :08:37. | |
compared with Scotland, Wales and even other regions of England. | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
Our political editor Patrick Burns is in Central Birmingham for us. | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
So what exactly is he concerned about? | :08:45. | :08:55. | |
is the public spending formula operated by successive governments | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
for 40 years and it means that in Scotland there is an allocation of | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
over ten and a half thousand pounds per head over the past year while | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
here in the Midlands, just ?8,750 and Mr Simon wants it scrapped | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
because it fails to recognise the fact that the population of the | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
Midlands is bigger and makes a bigger contribution to the UK | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
economy than Scotland. I put it to him however that successive | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
governments that shall not the slightest interest in scrapping it | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
because Scotland is a nation whereas the Midlands is merely a region. | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
We pay the same taxes as they do in Scotland, Wales, | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
Northern Ireland and London, but they get much better public | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
services deliberately on purpose, because of this formula, | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
It is not fair that they should have better hospitals | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
and better schools than us, even though we pay the same tax. | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
I just want our fair share of the national pie. | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
Interesting to see that slogan taking back control. Where have we | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
heard that before? How could we possibly forget? Mr Simon says it | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
reflexes determination and as he puts it, we need to seize back | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
control from a Westminster Government that has no plan for | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Brexit, far less than the challenges that flow from that from our part of | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
the world. There is an irony that a Labour MP who until recently had on | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
his website a statement in support of the Remain vote should now be | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
campaigning under the slogan made famous by the league campaign. When | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
I reminded him of this, he said it was his idea first. -- Leave. | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
I've been campaigning for this for seven years now | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
and throughout that time, my single clear message has been - | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
we need to take back control from London | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
If some other people more recently have appropriated my slogan | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
for their ends, then that's not my problem. | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
How do you see his chances and those of the other candidates? Labourer | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
will see the idea traditional front runners in this part of the country, | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
Conservatives say they only need a 4% swing but with other parties | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
contesting this, it is the real contest and it's more about | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
personalities than most street party political fight because of the very | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
nature of the job. Thank you, Patrick. | :11:14. | :11:14. | |
Thanks for joining us on Midlands Today, still to come | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
on tonight's programm: Searching for his century, Stoke City's Peter | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
Crouch is poised to score his one hundredth Premier League goal. | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
And if you're looking for something fun to do this weekend, I might just | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
But if this is a bit noisy, the weather is | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
They were supposed to make getting about easier, | :11:30. | :11:42. | |
but the so-called shared spaces where kerbs and road | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
markings are removed in some town and city centres, | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
Campaigners for blind people say the concept, widely used | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
They have been discussing their concerns at a special | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
meeting of MPs on the Women and Equalities Committee | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
Here's our transport correspondent, Peter Plisner. | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
Charlotte Nickson and guide dog Layla navigating their way | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
But for them, shared space doesn't make things very easy. | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
This is where she's stops for this crossing. | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
Here Layla gets confused because there's no kurbs and waits | :12:15. | :12:28. | |
for instruction from Charlotte. | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
And it not just Layla who doesn't understand the layout. | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
When we filmed, there were cars and other vehicles everywhere, | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
even on what was supposed to be the pavement. | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
They make it harder for me to get to work, and that's just not fair. | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
They make it impossible for a lot of my blind friends to come | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
and visit me and if they do, we have to make sure | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
there is a sighted person there to help us at all times. | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
The idea of shared space comes from Holland, what happens is, | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
road signs, traffic lights and road markings are removed and drivers | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
don't quite know who actually has priority, and they go slower. | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
But it might be safer for some, but not others. | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
As you get to this side, Peter, it doesn't lead to anywhere. | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
Sarah Gayton from Staffordshrie campaigns on behalf of the blind | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
and partially sighted and she maintains that shared | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
Blind people have real difficulties navigating them because the kerb | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
line is taken away and crossings are taken away. | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
Some zebra crossings are put in, but they're not put in properly. | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
Today, Sarah and others had the chance to speak directly | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
to MPs on the Women and Equalities Select Committee | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
as it held an outreach meeting in Birmingham. | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
The committee is currently investigating the build environment | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
You can read all the papers you like, but until you have the people | :13:32. | :13:39. | |
sat in front of you telling you exactly how it feels to not be | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
able to move around their city centre or that they can't get | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
a house that's suitable for them to live in, | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
you don't really get the human feeling of it. | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
Coventry City Council maintains that its shared space is safe | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
and that schemes developed in consultation with | :13:58. | :13:58. | |
But despite concerns of some, the use of shared space is growing | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
It's been announced that the by-election | :14:06. | :14:17. | |
to vote for the next MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central will be | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
It comes after the resignation of Tristram Hunt, | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
who announced his resignation last week to become Director of | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
Mr Hunt is expected to leave the House of | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
Conductors on London Midland trains are to vote on strike action. | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
The rail union, RMT, said it was balloting its members | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
over the proposed imposition of security contractors on trains. | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
The union said the company's move was made without agreement. | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
London Midland said it was "very disappointed" the RMT | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
Now here's a tale of far-away seas - with links to | :14:47. | :14:56. | |
In 1914, the polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton gathered | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
28 men to explore the Antarctric - three | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
His ship, the Endurance, was destroyed, but there was just | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
about time to recover a collection of incredible photographs, | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
For the first time, they're on show in Birmingham. | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
Arguably the greatest polar explorer. | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
A man who would not accept he'd be beaten by the elements. | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
The Enduring Eye exhibition is billed as one of the finest | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
photographic records of human survival, documenting his | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
exploration of the Antarctic aboard the ship The Endurance. | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
The idea that Shackleton had was to be the first person to cross | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
He'd been beaten to the first person to reach the Pole by Roald Amundsen | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
and this was the last achievement there could be | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
He also wanted to make a name for himself as being | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
Many of these previously unseen images were captured by ship | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
photographer Frank Hurley, who hoped to earn a small fortune | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
by selling the rights when they returned. | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
When the Endurance started sinking in 1915, | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
he risked injury or worse by plucking glass plated photographs | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
This Hurley image was directly digitised from one of those plates. | :16:10. | :16:17. | |
He chose three men - a geologist, a scientist, and a doctor - | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
And Shackleton wanted all of his men to contribute no | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
But Ernest Shackleton's epic voyage would never had departed, | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
some say, were it not for a Birmingham businesman. | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
Dudley Docker is very well-known locally I think as being a major | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
industrialist of the time, of the early 20th century. | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
Shackleton, like a modern explorer, would look for funds from all sorts | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
of sources and he had inspired Dudley Docker. | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
In today's money, he gave about ?430,000 to support the expidition. | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
The were two more Brummie seamen including James A Mcilroy, | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
who studied medicine at Birmingham University. | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
For the 28 men on board, the wanderlust was lost | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
to the ferociuous cold and thick ice which swallowed the ship. | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
Enduring Eye at the Library of Birmingham continues | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
Stoke City's Peter Crouch is poised to reach a century | :17:12. | :17:24. | |
Yes, he gave us the robot goal celebration and his model wife won | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
But actually Peter Crouch is one of the most down to earth | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
So it will be a very popular moment if he can score his one hundredth | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
Premier League goal this weekend when Stoke City take | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
Peter Crouch is loving his football and who can blame him? | :17:42. | :17:54. | |
He was brought back into the starting line up for Stoke | :17:55. | :17:56. | |
at Christmas and he's scored three goals in five matches since. | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
I looked at where my career was going and thinking, | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
I think now that I've been given this opportunity to play again, | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
I'm loving it, probably more so than when I was 18 months ago | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
and before that period because now I realise how much it means | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
His attributes and his ability to affect games hasn't changed. | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
He's getting on years, he's probably coming | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
towards the end of his career, he knows that. | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
But we haven't seen any diminishing of his qualities at all. | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
The very first Premier League goal came for Aston Villa 15 years ago. | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
The 20-year-old was still growing into his six foot seven frame then | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
and it took a move to Southampton before his career really blossomed. | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
42 England caps and appearances at two World Cups followed. | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
He's scored 36 goals for Stoke since joining them in 2011 but he's | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
The goal for Stoke against Man City was probably the best | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
Headed it down to me and being able to flick it up and volley it. | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
Nine out of ten times they don't get anywhere near the goal. | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
So to see it fly in the top corner was probably the best | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
His wife Abby Clancy won Strictly Come Dancing in 2013 | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
and Crouch is also famous for his goal celebration moves. | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
So will we see the robot again for the first time in a decade | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
I've had so many people say to me, if you get the 100th, | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
you've got to do it, you've got to do it. | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
The pressure's taking its toll, let's put it that way. | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
He's clearly a popular member of the Stoke City squad | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
and would love to play on until he's 40. | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
So we could see that Peter Crouch goal celebration plenty more times | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
And you can see the full interview with Peter Crouch on Football Focus | :19:44. | :19:51. | |
And he's about to get a new team mate. | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
Saido Berahino set to move up the M6 from West Bromwich Albion. | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
Yes, Albion have accepted a bid from Stoke for their striker. | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
Berahino is still only 23 but he's being trying to leave | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
His attitude has been questioned at Albion | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
For Albion it's one in and one out as they've completed the signing | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
of midfielder Jake Livermore for ?10 million | :20:23. | :20:24. | |
He's had his problems, notably the loss of | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
But Tony Pulis says Livermore is back to his best. | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
Having gone to Hull, the tragedy that followed him around | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
We played him twice this season and he was exceptional in both games. | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
He looks as though he's getting his form back and he's just 27. | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
We think it's a really, really good time. | :20:51. | :20:59. | |
Onto tennis and another fantastic victory for Birmingham's Dan Evans | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
Yes, recently dropped by his sponsor he had to stock up | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
But it's working he's through to the fourth | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
round of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career. | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
He beat Australia's Bernard Tomic in straight sets 7-5 7-6 7-6. | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
And he played some scintillating tennis. | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
This 25 shot rally in the final tie break arguably the pint | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
His winner even drew applause from his opponent. | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
Moments later, he'd earned himself three match points. | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
He was receiving serve but he only needed one match point. | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
Evans was very emotional at this point. | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
It was due to losing a former coach to cancer last year. | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
He said afterwards he wised that Belgian Julien Hofferlin could have | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
He always said I could do it, so obviously, you know, | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
he always said I should be playing top 40 tennis and in the grand slams | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
Evans plays the 12th seed Jo Wilfried Tsonga from France | :21:57. | :22:08. | |
A singer songwriter making music in her bedroom and ends up along the | :22:09. | :22:27. | |
stars of LA. She has attracted quite a following on social media and has | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
been nominated for a prestigious American music award and Emma could | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
be sharing the winning platform with Adele and Ellie Goulding, the only | :22:38. | :22:38. | |
other solo female British singers. From Coventry to Los Angeles, | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
that's where Emma McGann is going. She performs from this converted | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
bedroom at her home in Coventry, and is delighted to be nominated | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
for America's iHeart I was super surprised, it feels like | :22:48. | :23:03. | |
a dream. The nominations have come at a point which is already really | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
exciting. The awards will be broadcast across this state in | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
March. It will be a star studded event and we can wave Emma to walk | :23:16. | :23:16. | |
the red carpet. Last year Justin Bieber | :23:17. | :23:17. | |
was the overall winner, and Adele and Ellie Goulding have | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
nominations this year. With Adele and especially Ellie | :23:20. | :23:31. | |
Goulding, I would let them as my inspirations. To be on a pie with | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
them at the same award show is insane. It's really insane. As well | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
as being busy with the music awards, Emma is experimenting with | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
cutting-edge technology. The plan is too great a music video using | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
virtual reality. It will be the first of its kind in this industry. | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
K, guys. It wouldn't be possible | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
without the help of her boyfriend James, who's the driving force | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
behind all the technology. The main thing idea is our deal but | :24:02. | :24:10. | |
with Emma's broadcasting, I have dabbled individually and lighting | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
and anything to do with computers, anything to improve the broadcast. | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
Emma's been been nominated in the social media category | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
from now until then she's drumming up support amongst | :24:20. | :24:21. | |
Thank you for tuning in and I will see you later on tonight for another | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
broadcast. Goodbye. Finally, the sun made | :24:29. | :24:30. | |
a welcome appearance today. Rebecca has the forecast, | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
but she's somewhere a little different this evening | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
at the Genting Arena. There is something special about to | :24:37. | :24:53. | |
happen this year. You wouldn't catch me doing any of this but one person | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
you might is Chris. You do this, what's wrong with you? I've been | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
doing it from an early age and it's stuck with me ever since. What is | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
Arena Cross? Its motocross. We do tricks, fireworks and everything. | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
You don't actually do this? I stick to the racing. This looks dangerous, | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
is it? It can be, but we really experience and we try not to crash | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
too often. Why should people come down and watch it this weekend? | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
There will be tricks and erasing, fireworks and lots of entertainment. | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
We have to ask the boss man if we can get them to be quiet because | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
I've got to do the weather forecast. If you fancy coming down here that's | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
all well and good about the weather is looking too bad this weekend. It | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
has been a glorious day today, clear blue skies. Our temperatures were | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
only at five Celsius. Through the weekend, we will get much colder air | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
from linear continents. That is going to cool things down. We saw | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
that across the southern half of the region last night. A chilly weekend | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
but some sunny spells and variable amounts of cloud through this | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
weekend. We have got much colder air working its way across as from the | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
east. The map will turn very blue as we head through tonight because | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
temperatures are dropping like a stone. It will start to creep its | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
way northwards, cold right the way across the board. Temperatures | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
dipping two minus five. In some sheltered rural spots, it could get | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
lower than that. Widespread frost and in eastern parts of the region, | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
mist and fog patches developing and they could be clearing into the day | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
tomorrow. High pressure in charge, little movement and breeze. | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
Continuing to see those cold conditions through the morning, a | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
frosty start and a very cold day indeed tomorrow. Still an easterly | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
breeze so temperatures ranging from between one and three Celsius. There | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
will be lots of lovely sunshine. We get cloud coming in from the east as | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
we head through the day, variable and then applied a black cloud | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
should help with temperatures as we head Saturday night into Sunday. | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
Another very chilly night, another widespread frost right the way | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
across the region, temperatures dipping down to around 8-1 or minus | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
three. We could see some drizzle from that cloud which could tend to | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
sleet or snow. Sunday -- Monday is more of the same. Stays that way as | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
we head into the new working week. I am going to go and learn some | :27:40. | :27:41. | |
tricks. Not really. Nicola Beckford will be | :27:42. | :27:42. | |
with you at 10.30 for the late news. | :27:43. | :27:47. |
