:01:16. > :01:19.A BBC investigation has found that drivers in Birmingham
:01:20. > :01:21.and Wolverhampton are among the top five to fall foul
:01:22. > :01:34.Birmingham issued nearly 55,000 fines in the year 2015-16,

:02:12. > :02:15.He received a demand for ?30 after driving into a bus lane

:03:31. > :03:32.Birmingham City Council insists the signs are adequate.
:03:33. > :03:33.It says the money raised pays for improvements
:03:34. > :03:36.And labelling bus lanes as lucrative is wrong.
:03:37. > :03:39.Is this fining people for going in bus lanes simply a cash
:03:40. > :03:42.That's not what bus lanes are for at all.
:03:43. > :03:45.They are there to maximise the capacity of our roads.
:03:46. > :03:48.If people break the law and get in the way of that,
:03:49. > :03:52.they would expect the full force to come down on them like it

:04:23. > :04:27.Something must be investigated here, because it's just too large a number
:04:28. > :04:33.for it to be motorists deliberately flouting the bus lane regulations.
:04:34. > :04:36.To be fair, Birmingham City Council say they think the signage
:04:37. > :04:44.They're obviously making a lot money.
:04:45. > :04:47.They are perhaps too busy counting the money as opposed to trying
:04:48. > :04:51.Bus lanes presumably do a good job, don't they?
:04:52. > :04:54.Bus lanes are there for a reason, obviously.
:04:55. > :04:57.Motorists shouldn't drive in them because they are there to make sure
:04:58. > :05:00.the buses run on time and they've got a clear run at the traffic.
:05:01. > :05:03.Interestingly, in Liverpool they had a trial where they did away
:05:04. > :05:10.with 26 other bus lanes and after a while they
:05:11. > :05:14.And actually found the traffic moved perfectly well and the buses
:05:15. > :05:18.Obviously it's the latest kind of cash bonanza, if you like.
:05:19. > :05:28.We've got parking charges, councils seem to do very well at all.
:05:29. > :05:31.Bus lanes shouldn't be about raising money,
:05:32. > :05:34.they should be about making sure people don't drive at them.
:05:35. > :05:37.But perhaps we need to look at where the cameras are positioned.
:05:38. > :05:39.Sometimes the cameras may be positioned at the very
:05:40. > :05:42.start of the bus lane, so if you make an honest mistake
:05:43. > :05:44.it's too late by the time you realise it and correct yourself.
:05:45. > :05:47.The councils are obviously making an enormous amount of money
:05:48. > :05:51.In their defence, they do say that that money is ploughed back
:05:52. > :05:53.into transportation of one sort or another.
:05:54. > :05:57.It's good to hear that, but the RAC carried out research
:05:58. > :06:02.for its annual report on motoring said that the state

:06:06. > :06:07.Motorists are constantly fed up with pothole ridden roads
:06:08. > :06:10.and we are constantly found to be faced with reporting them or just
:06:11. > :06:15.And we'll bring you some of the many comments we've

:06:20. > :06:22.Anorexia is responsible for more deaths than any other
:06:23. > :06:25.mental health condition, but there's concern that GPs aren't

:06:51. > :06:54.In the future, she wants to help children with mental health
:06:55. > :06:57.problems, and she wants GPs to have better training because of her own
:06:58. > :07:04.They said, "Oh, well, bring her to McDonald's
:07:05. > :07:07.because all kids love McDonald's, I'm sure she'll eat there."
:07:08. > :07:10.In the meantime, I was just getting more and more ill,

:07:29. > :07:31.and they said I was going to go into a coma.
:07:32. > :07:35.So they quickly put me on drips and tubes and things like that.
:07:36. > :07:41.With the help of her family, she is improving.
:07:42. > :07:45.But she only eats the same things at the same time every day
:07:46. > :07:54.you just don't know what to do next or what's going to come next.
:07:55. > :07:57.And you don't know where to go to get help.
:07:58. > :08:01.If I was to be at home on my own, I wouldn't eat it.
:08:02. > :08:03.I would just pretend that I've had it and I haven't.
:08:04. > :08:08.Even though in your head, you know this is wrong,
:08:09. > :08:11.you would still not be able to deal with it on your own, you need
:08:12. > :08:17.I can't allow myself to do it, I need somebody to tell me
:08:18. > :08:20.that I've got to eat, and then it makes the guilt a bit

:16:42. > :16:46.Rugby competition, starting in September, and watch the England
:16:47. > :16:50.rugby's governing body says will be a world-class domestic tournament.
:16:51. > :16:58.Thus was a real blow. Let us find out what it means to the club. How
:16:59. > :17:01.big a blow has this been? Firstly, what the treble trying to do is
:17:02. > :17:10.fantastic. As a club, we have worked so hard, -- the RFU. To have it
:17:11. > :17:15.pulled away from us like this is devastating, as you can imagine. We
:17:16. > :17:19.feel that we are there, we are the best club in the country at the
:17:20. > :17:23.minute. We have two fantastic squad that are doing exceptionally well.
:17:24. > :17:27.And under 18 squad going into cup final at the weekend, so we are
:17:28. > :17:34.immensely proud of where we are the moment about the season ahead holds
:17:35. > :17:39.for us. What do think there could be a rethink? I hope so. I think it is
:17:40. > :17:45.deserved. I think we deserve it. But it's out of our hands. Joining me is
:17:46. > :17:50.Justin Lucas, one of the first team and an England international. --
:17:51. > :17:57.Justine Henin Gus. We have all worked so hard this year. And put so
:17:58. > :18:03.much into our rugby. For the bigger picture, RFU investing in women's
:18:04. > :18:06.rugby is fantastic, but it's a real blow for Lichfield. Your back over
:18:07. > :18:09.the weekend to join your club and then back to the six Nations
:18:10. > :18:15.tournament? Our second team are playing more to go away, a big match
:18:16. > :18:21.for them. They are our top of the league clash, then Scotland next
:18:22. > :18:25.week and Ireland the after. The RFU in their statement said that they
:18:26. > :18:29.will work with clubs who have been unsuccessful in their initial
:18:30. > :18:33.application to help them with potentially future chance to get
:18:34. > :18:37.into the league. Also in rugby, in the premiership, the men's league,
:18:38. > :18:47.was still fighting hard to stay in the top flight.
:18:48. > :18:49.On Sunday Worcester host Bristol in the Premiership.
:18:50. > :18:52.They're the bottom two and the loser faces a real struggle
:18:53. > :18:56.None of those who wear their will forget it.
:18:57. > :18:58.Two years ago, Worcester were promoted in dramatic style,
:18:59. > :19:03.It was an incredible night, but now they must do it all again.
:19:04. > :19:06.It's very memorable for me, up against the odds and pulling it
:19:07. > :19:13.You look back at it fondly, but it's all about the here and now.
:19:14. > :19:16.The squads of both teams have evolved in the two years since,
:19:17. > :19:22.Worcester and Bristol want to play in the premiership.
:19:23. > :19:24.It's why the South African coach Gary Gold has been
:19:25. > :19:31.He has simple job: keep Worcester in the top-flight.1 And he wants
:19:32. > :19:35.I feel we've got a responsibility to them.
:19:36. > :19:38.They pay their hard earned money to come and support the team,
:19:39. > :19:44.I want them to see a team who are massively passionate about the club
:19:45. > :19:50.And I really want us to come out and prove that to them this weekend.
:19:51. > :19:56.Bristol might be bottom but they're improving as shown by last
:19:57. > :20:00.Worcester are now just two points above them.

:20:03. > :20:04.Relegation will see budgets cut, players moved on,
:20:05. > :20:12.But Sunday's Sixways sell-out is also an occasion to be savoured.
:20:13. > :20:14.Games like this is why we play the game.

:21:44. > :21:45.He joined Marston Green Infants Academy in Birmingham

:22:18. > :22:26.They are hard, it's very hard to make them try foods.
:22:27. > :22:29.So we have to encourage them how to be healthy.

:23:26. > :23:27.15 minutes to go, and there's a simmering tension
:23:28. > :23:35.So I'm going to be starting the plating.
:23:36. > :23:37.According to the plan, so far so good.
:23:38. > :23:39.School dinners were never like this in my day.
:23:40. > :23:45.This is Jose's finished school dinner.

:24:51. > :24:54.Thanks to all of you who posted pictures.
:24:55. > :25:07.Even though the official start of spring isn't until later this month,
:25:08. > :25:10.we have already seen signs of it. We have had carpets of spring bulbs
:25:11. > :25:14.breaking through. There was cloud across the northern half of the
:25:15. > :25:19.region this morning, which actually reduced the covering of snow. As the
:25:20. > :25:22.haze slowly lifted, we saw some glorious sunshine breaking through
:25:23. > :25:28.across a large amount of the region. Blue skies and sunshine for the rest
:25:29. > :25:34.of the day. It was quite gusty in Hereford. We saw gusts of 44 mph.
:25:35. > :25:38.Things are changing now as we head into tonight. We have a band of rain
:25:39. > :25:42.coming from the south, producing a more mobile and settled picture as
:25:43. > :25:48.we go into the weekend, low pressure dominating. The weekend, best they
:25:49. > :25:52.will be Saturday. I can't call it the best day, but if you're looking
:25:53. > :25:56.to plan any outdoor events, the best bet will be Saturday. That is the
:25:57. > :26:01.chance of seeing drier weather, but very wet on Sunday. This evening, we
:26:02. > :26:07.have some splinter showers ahead of the main band arriving later
:26:08. > :26:11.tonight. A lot of cloud gathering, keeping temperatures up to four five
:26:12. > :26:15.Celsius. Unlike other nights this week, not as cold. The winds will
:26:16. > :26:19.gradually ease into the morning tomorrow, and the rain starts to
:26:20. > :26:23.cross, moving from south to north, producing heavy bursts in places.
:26:24. > :26:26.Drying up through the central belt in the afternoon. That'll perk up
:26:27. > :26:33.into tomorrow evening once again. Temperatures range from seven in the
:26:34. > :26:37.North to ten in the south, with lighter south-easterly winds.
:26:38. > :26:41.Tomorrow evening, the rain peps up, a fairly wet night before the rain
:26:42. > :26:46.gradually dies away., producing some misty, murky conditions into the
:26:47. > :26:48.morning on Saturday. Saturday is largely dry, with heavy rain on
:26:49. > :26:52.Sunday. It does turn colder by then. I'll be back at 22.30
