Taking Wolverhampton to Cannes - the latest phase of the city's | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
multi million pound regeneration - looking for international | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
For a few years we've been moving into our economic recovery phase. | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
Now we're into that really confident phase. | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
We'll be looking at how and when this promised regeneration | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
Stalling on pension plans - the BMW workers protesting | :00:23. | :00:34. | |
against the car makers proposals to close final salary scheme | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Too fragile to touch, the family of a five year | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
old raising awareness of a rare skin disease - which means | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
When you pick a baby up, you'd scoop them under their arms - | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
naturally, that's the way that you'd pick a baby up. | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
Not the historic house, but a small eco-dome made | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
And Hereford was basking in the best of the sun and the temperatures | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
today on the warmest day of the year so far. | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
But will we be so lucky this weekend? | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
The future of Wolverhampton has gone on show on the French Riviera. | :01:06. | :01:22. | |
It's hoped businesses attending an international property convention | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
in Cannes will help to regenerate the City - and create 2500 | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
It's part of a multi million pound redevelopment of Wolverhampton. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
As our Black Country reporter Ben Godfrey has been discovering, | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
the investment has been a long time coming. | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
You have to go back a long way to hear people talking up | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
Wolverhampton as a place of prosperity. | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
But after years of failed regeneration, | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
of missed opportunity, the economic clouds are parting. | :01:57. | :02:07. | |
a staggering ?3.7 billion is currently being invested into | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
Wolverhampton. It's the largest Invesco meant in years. | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
The Mander Centre is being rebuilt, grim old market buildings are making | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
way for a massive retail corridor on the Westside, and the decaying | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
railway station will be rebuilt as part of a | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
And this is i9 - a prestige office development, | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
occupying 50,000 square feet of land next to the historic | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
Today, the plans went on show in Cannes, where international | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
With 2000 and eight in the economic recession, Wolverhampton was hit the | :02:46. | :03:01. | |
same as other people. The last few years we've been moving into an | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
economic recovery phase. Now we're into the really confident phase | :03:05. | :03:05. | |
where we know we can do things. Around 2,500 jobs will be | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
created in the city centre, when the Wolverhampton interchange | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
is complete. There's some brilliant work being | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
done about how you rigid generator cities. If you can keep that 20 to | :03:21. | :03:30. | |
30-year-olds in the city, the city will regenerate. | :03:31. | :03:30. | |
But for many Wulfrunians, large scale regeneration | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
like this is decades overdue, so you can forgive some cynicism. | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
You've got places like Bentley Bridge, St John's retail centre, you | :03:36. | :03:45. | |
can actually do your shopping without coming into town centre. It | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
just ate a little bit more, a bit more shine to it. You have people | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
who live on the street and that is not good if you are doing with | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
generation. You want to take care of your people. | :03:58. | :03:57. | |
With a growing student population, the city is becoming one | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
Investment brings new challenges then, and here the demand | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
for affordable homes has never been higher. | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
Ben Godfrey, BBC Midlands Today, Wolverhampton. | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
Joining us now from Wolverhampton, is Ninder Johal from | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
the Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership. | :04:18. | :04:18. | |
There are some big numbers here - | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
for the interchange area and this new office | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
It is all ready been secured and we are hoping if everything goes to | :04:28. | :04:37. | |
plan everything should be up and ready at the end of 2018. Apologies | :04:38. | :04:47. | |
for the interruption. We'll see if we can go back once we've gotten rid | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
of the interloper! How much does the regeneration | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
of the City depend on investors I think if you have great products | :04:53. | :05:07. | |
to sell you need to go where the action is. And the action is where | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
all the global players come together and if that is the place you need to | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
be that is the place you need to be. And if you are not there then you're | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
not serious about your products, your place. You will be missed and | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
people will know that. Well, there is certainly no shortage of | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
enthusiasm in Wolverhampton! The point was made in the report | :05:28. | :05:28. | |
about taking care of the people of the City - | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
not just office space, but affordable homes, | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
plans for that? Absolutely. If you look at Bilston, | :05:34. | :05:43. | |
there is ready and village being built there. We should be looking at | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
another 13 to 15,000 homes. Across the country we are looking at | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
40,000. For the region to work it needs housing, infrastructure and | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
with this kind of investment you are taking all the boxes. Thank you very | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
much. BMW workers at the Hams Hall engine | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
plant in Warwickshire could be going out on strike, | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
in protest at the car makers plans BMW wants to close the current | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
scheme for everyone at the end of May - | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
workers say they stand to lose Hands off our pensions! | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
Hands off our pensions! They've never protested | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
like this before - but then there's never been | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
so much at stake. ?150,000? | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
It's roughly about ?130,000. That's what they reckon they'll lose | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
if BMW push through with a plan to end the current final salary | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
pension scheme by May of this year. Last year BMW reported record | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
profits of ?6 billion. There's real anger here today - | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
in fact, industrial relations are said to be at their | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
most fraught since the They say they are proud | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
of what they call excellent pension | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
provision in the past but, crucially, they want | :07:07. | :07:07. | |
toensure and protect pension With an ageing population though, | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
some argue big companies like BMW can't afford final salary | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
pensions any more. Profitable companies, | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
it's part of the package they offer. Our members have actually | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
given up some of their pay in the past to make sure this | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
pension scheme operates properly. Many of the 600 staff | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
here transfered from BMW's The agreement was that when we came | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
over here they would keep our final And we feel let down | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
that they haven't done that and honoured that agreement | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
from when we did come over here. Because they needed | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
skills to come into this A ballot for industrial action | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
will close at the end of March - unions say a strike is imminent | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
unless BMW do a U-turn. Sarah Bishop, BBC Midlands | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
Today, near Coleshill. Unemployment in the region | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
has bucked the national trend and is on the rise, | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
according to new figures. The jobless total in | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
the West Midlands rose by nine thousand in the last quarter - | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
meaning 160 thousand people That's the equivalent of 5.6% | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
of the working population - 261 motorists have been | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
given new heavier fines for using mobile phones | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
while driving in the West Midlands. In a week-long clamp-down, | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
offenders included 30 lorry drivers, a driving instructor, | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
and a driver accessing mobile All those caught have | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
been fined ?200 - A former governor allegedly involved | :08:40. | :08:49. | |
in the Trojan Horse scandal in Birmingham schools, | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
is appealing against a ban imposed on him | :08:58. | :08:58. | |
by the Department for Education. Tahir Alam, who was chair | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
of governors at Park View in Alum Rock, is barred | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
from being involved He was accused of trying to instil | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
hardline Islamic values. Mr Alam is challenging the decision | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
at a tribunal in London. Fundraisers trying to keep | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
a rare piece of Wedgwood pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, have been | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
given until July to find the money. Yesterday's deadline | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
was extended after a ?90,000 But a total of ?482,500 is needed | :09:22. | :09:22. | |
to stop the vase from going abroad, rather than being returned | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
to the Potteries Museum. As a parent, hugging your child | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
is one of the things But for Kim and Paul Lovatt | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
from Stoke-on-trent, cuddles have been few | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
and far betwen. Their five-year-old daughter, Poppy, | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
was born with a rare skin condition It means her skin is so fragile | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
that it can blister and peel Her family have been fundraising | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
and want to help others Laura May McMullan's report | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
contains images some Poppy loves flowers | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
and playing outdoors. But the slightest of knocks | :10:04. | :10:18. | |
and even a cuddle can We have to dress the | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
affected areas every day. The worst areas of her left leg, | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
round her feet, round her You just have to be there for her, | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
more than anything else. Five-year-old Poppy was born | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
with EB, epidermolysis bullosa - a rare condition affecting | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
around one in every 17,000 Picking a baby up, you'd scoop them | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
up under their arms, - naturally that's the way | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
you'd pick a baby up and we had to tell people not | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
to because she blistered and the skin came away | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
from her armpits. There were three main types of EB | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
and the severity, there is a wide spectrum | :11:04. | :11:12. | |
from mild to very severe. And Poppy as the type of EB | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
where as she gets older, hopefully, it will be | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
easier to manage. Mummy does my dressings | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
and I help her. On her back, there were scabs on her | :11:26. | :11:35. | |
back and you had to avoid them, But it doesn't stop | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
her living her life. She's thriving at school, | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
where they've made special We had to look at the indoor | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
environment, and change the tables We had to add a medical room | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
to the school so there's a safe, sterile environment to deal | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
with Poppy's needs. There's no cure for the condition, | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
and that's why her parents Debra, the EB charity, | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
term it as "the worse disease That's their slogan | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
for their charity, because so many Nothing at all holds her back - | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
she's very, very strong willed. She won't do anything | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
she doesn't want to do. And we're all really, | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
really proud of her. I like cuddles with | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
Mummy, Daddy and Jacob. Poppy tries to lead as normal a life | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
as possible and, on her say so, the family never say no | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
to her precious cuddles. Thanks for joining us | :12:35. | :12:49. | |
on Midlands Today, this is our top story tonight: Taking Wolverhampton | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
to Cannes - the latest phase of the city's multi million | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
pound regeneration - looking for international | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
investors. Your detailed weather | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
forecast to come shortly - also in tonight's programme, | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
Keeping the Wolves from the relegation trap door | :13:09. | :13:10. | |

the life and work of Bob Marley told Bob Marley told on stage, | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
being premiered in Birmingham. How quickly would you be | :13:20. | :13:28. | |
prepared to turn your back on your home comforts, | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
to live in an Eco-dome ? Well hundreds of so called | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
"caretakers" have volunteered to live without modern comforts | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
and technology in a dome made of recycled rubbish, | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
in the grounds of the magnificent In a forest clearing | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
in the Warwickshire countryside stands The Clearing - a creation | :13:45. | :13:54. | |
of environmental art facing the I know they seem quite different, | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
if you look over the river, yes, they are very, very different, | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
but actually they really balance of the landscape and the mansion | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
house with something that actually is very 21st-century - for me it's | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
really, really important. Built with temporary | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
planning permission, scrap metal and recycled industrial | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
plywood, the ?60,000 Heritage Lottery-funded dome will be | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
in place for three years. But can the experiment | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
with other people's What we're trying | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
to do is we're trying to do a project | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
about climate change. It's the idea that, this world | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
without traffic jams and central heating and Kim Kardashian | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
and big supermarkets - is that actually a nightmare or is it | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
actually an opportunity to live in a Capability Brown | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
carefully designed this Now it is hoped the people | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
of the 21st-century will get a You don't have to like it - | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
art's always like that, isn't it? If you make art that pleases | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
everyone, it's really rubbish art! So, yeah, when not even trying | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
to please everyone, you know? We're confident that we've | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
made a good thing here. From next week series of volunteer | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
caretakers will live in the dome for a week at a time, | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
turning their back on the comforts of home for a once-in-a-lifetime | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
experience. Well, I think there's plenty | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
of people that put their names down to be caretakers, | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
so we're one of the lucky ones, There's everything | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
here you need, so... To survive, anyway - | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
let's put it that way. When you live in a space | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
like this you make with what you have and you appreciate | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
everything you have, so it's an exercise of, is almost a social | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
experiment in itself, you know? If you fancy a peek | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
at an artistic life of the grid, the dome opens | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
to the public this weekend. Time for sport - Ian Winter has | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
joined me, not a vintage night if for our football clubs - | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
but one exception. But a couple of well-timed | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
substitutions inspired Wolves to a well-deserved win, | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
away to Brentford. It was quite refreshing | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
to hear both managers agree And Wolves are now four points | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
clear of the Championship It must be infuriating to be | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
a Wolves fan this season. They were booed off on Saturday, | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
and last night, they fell But their battling | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
performance deserved better. And their patience paid off with two | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
goals in the the last four minutes. Matt Doherty made it 1-1, | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
before Heider Costa sealed And both managers agreed, | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
Wolves were the better side Not quite such a rosy | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
picture in League One. Walsall missed the chance to move | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
closer to the play-offs, And just look at the basement battle | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
to avoid relegation. Shrewsbury, who didn't play last | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
night, have that five point cushion above Port Vale, | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
who lost 2-1 defeat at Northampton. but a late, late goal made it | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
a disappointing night It was the same old story | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
for Coventry as Southend scored twice in the first | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
half to win the game, Well, let's just say today's racing | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
at the Festival was more exciting than last night's football, as | :17:11. | :17:19. | |
the Robins lost 3-0 away to Exeter. I'm not too sure about Cheltenham's | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
purple and yellow kit... A glorious day for | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
the Festival today - Stand by for arguably | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
the most exciting finish Racing towards the last | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
in the Neptune Novices Hurdle, keep an eye on Willoughby Court | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
in the yellow and black - ridden by David Bass and trained | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
just 15 miles from Cheltenham The horse delivered a storming | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
finish to beat the 2-1 Delight for the trainer | :17:50. | :17:54. | |

the reason we're here, the homecoming of the newly-crowned | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
WBA world champion - Kal Yafai. This was the man they'd | :18:39. | :18:41. | |

fought here in Birmingham is massive but to be able | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
to bring a unification fight That success has been built | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
on relentless hours in the gym under the guidance of Max McCracken, | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
whose brother Rob came close to being the first | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
Brummie world champion. And while Yafai is the star turn, | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
the full bill showcases the current With Sam Eggington's European title | :19:13. | :19:16. | |

this really is an amazing time for boxing | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
in the second city. There's always been a very strong | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
boxing community in Now it's time to reach out | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
to the casual audience, the people that like good | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
sport, good entertainment, and we | :19:35. | :19:36. | |

to be a future world champion and then there's Sam Eggington who's | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
rapidly climbing The car really compare his story to | :19:48. | :19:58. | |
mind because he's an Olympian. It's hard to beat that. But having a | :19:59. | :20:07. | |
Birmingham world champion definitely pushes Birmingham boxing forward in | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
general. Like I say, it's a big thing and hopefully I can mimic what | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
he has done. Kal Yafai may well be | :20:14. | :20:14. | |
the centre of attention at the Barclaycard Arena in May | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
but he hasn't let it go to his head. This afternoon he retweeted | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
a picture of his unusual Nick Clitheroe, BBC | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
Midlands Today, Birmingham. But whatever he was eating | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
at that little table, Kal Yafai certainly packs a big | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
punch, Mary The music and words of Bob Marley | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
have echoed across the world, long after his untimely | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
death in 1981. Now, his story is being told | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
on stage in a new musical, which is being premiered | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
here in Birmingham. Our arts reporter Satnam Rana | :20:48. | :20:48. | |

Bob Marley and the whalers on their 1973 appearance on the old Grey | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
Whistle test. This sound has crossed continents and cultures, people and | :21:16. | :21:26. | |
politics. And he left this 17-year-old boy and unforgettable | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
teenage experience back in the 70s. 1975, Bob Marley was forming at the | :21:31. | :21:40. | |
Odeon. He is now a musician and artist, and recalls the moment he | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
met the man in Birmingham city centre. The coach pulled up and he | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
came off. We asked him, Bob, can we have a ticket. He said, turned round | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
to his quote crew and said, give the young lads a ticket. He didn't say | :21:57. | :22:05. | |
it like that, did he? No. And that's how we manage to go in and get | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
concert to see this great man. So here it is, Bob Marley on that day, | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
walking the streets of the city centre. | :22:16. | :22:20. | |

on stage. This is One Love the musical. It looks at two years of | :22:31. | :22:43. | |
Bob Marley pop's life. He put his life on the line for his country. | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
They shot at him. Then he did it again, he returned to Jamaica again | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
to say he stood for peace. It has been written and directed by a | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
former Casualty actor. He chose to bring it to Birmingham. The producer | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
said where should we do this, I automatically said Birmingham, | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
because of the diversity of the city, the audience, the weight-loss | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
reggae. And that love will be shared from now until the 15th of April, in | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
One Love the musical. Now to the weather. There was | :23:19. | :23:29. | |
beautiful son today. And it certainly inspired some of our | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
weather watchers. A very good evening to you. A slow | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
start for some this morning with missed and cloud around but after | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
that, wherever you looked, whether it be North, South, east or west, | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
there was plenty of sunshine to set the temperature is racing. And in | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
the end Hereford had the highest temperatures with 17 Celsius. The | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
warmest place of all in the country was Kew Gardens in London at 18.8 | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
Celsius. The warmest day of the year so far. There will be a change to | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
the right night. Cloud is spreading up from the south-west and that. | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
Temperatures falling below seven or eight Celsius. We could get some | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
missed through the valleys and high points of hills. That Mr will | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
disperse through the morning tomorrow but there is a change on | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
the way in the form of this cold front moving south-eastwards. Head | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
of that, the cloud will thicken through tomorrow, in fact it will | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
already be across many parts during the morning. Much duller day than | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
today. A bit of rain on the north-western fringes towards the | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
south-eastern corner. On the whole it will be dry but cloudier and the | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
temperatures will be around 11 to 12 Celsius, with a light to moderate | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
south-westerly breeze. As the cold print sinks further eastwards, there | :25:07. | :25:15. | |
is much colder air and temperatures of around three or four Celsius | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
overnight. It will be a dry night but then we start to see further | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
changes, all as a result of storm Stella. That is heading closer to | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
the UK. It was lengthened the jet stream and that is why these systems | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
are pushing in from the Atlantic. It was drink from the wins as well. | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
Friday has a much weeks a picture, breezy and colder. Temperatures down | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
to about nine Celsius. Although the weekend is unsettled it will be | :25:54. | :25:54. | |
slightly warmer than Friday. On tomorrow's Midlands Today, | :25:55. | :26:10. | |
we'll be catching up with Herefordshire's Champion Jockey | :26:11. | :26:12. | |
Richard Johnson. He's riding the joint favourite | :26:13. | :26:14. | |
Native River in Friday's Gold Cup. That's all from me for now, | :26:15. | :26:27. | |
