:02:33. > :02:37.With reference to what was claimed he was responsible for, he is not a

:03:12. > :03:18.can claim he was out there to help. Is there not a part of you that
:03:19. > :03:22.recognises the pivotal part he played in the peace process. He was
:03:23. > :03:29.a cog in a complex wheel. He is seen as a significant clock. That is
:03:30. > :03:33.propaganda. People say he was a significant and pivotal cog, but he
:03:34. > :03:37.was brought to the table. What brought him to the table? Martin
:03:38. > :03:41.McGuiness would do things to cover himself, and also for himself. Could
:03:42. > :03:54.you never have worked with him, for example like Colin Parry did? No,
:03:55. > :03:58.but I would have considered meeting him that is the only way we may have
:03:59. > :04:02.gained information from him. But with reference to his connection to
:04:03. > :04:08.the Good Friday agreement, absolutely not, no. There were so
:04:09. > :04:11.many people involved. You have to remember that Gerry Adams and Martin
:04:12. > :04:17.McGuiness were discussing peace deals with the Prime Minister on the

:05:28. > :05:31.am. Sorry. For seven years, David has been under the care of
:05:32. > :05:35.University Hospital Coventry. He was given physiotherapy for an irregular

:05:40. > :05:43.together all that time, he and Vicky are planning a wedding. I want the
:05:44. > :05:50.hospital to recognise they cannot keep doing this to people. David to

:06:41. > :06:45.for all patients. Bone cancer is rare. Only 600 cases a year, but
:06:46. > :06:50.experts say too often it is diagnosed too late. A survey showed
:06:51. > :06:54.nearly one in four visited their GP more than five times. One in three
:06:55. > :06:58.saw three or more health care professionals, and more than half

:15:37. > :15:40.the farm, the wider parklands, the garden and the Arboretum. Just
:15:41. > :15:43.really tried to sweep away the municipal eyes Asian that has
:15:44. > :15:48.happened over the last 80 years and open up the parkland for people to
:15:49. > :15:51.get out and explore. We are at the beginning of a journey and we are
:15:52. > :15:55.asking our visitors to come along. We have not finished everything yet,
:15:56. > :15:59.this is just the start of National Trust ownership, but keep coming
:16:00. > :16:02.back and having a look, and you will see a transformed over the next ten
:16:03. > :16:06.years. We can see that there is a lot of
:16:07. > :16:09.work to do here which will cost a lot of money. I know the
:16:10. > :16:13.Staffordshire County Council are losing close to ?1 million a year,
:16:14. > :16:17.which is why they have given up the lease. What was the deal, and how do
:16:18. > :16:22.you make this profitable? Well, they have surrendered their lease 50
:16:23. > :16:26.years early. They are paying The National Trust ?20 million in
:16:27. > :16:31.compensation for that, which we will receive over next three years. As we
:16:32. > :16:36.know, they were losing huge sums of money and there was a backlog of
:16:37. > :16:40.conservation work it. Then is ?2.8 million that needs to be spent on
:16:41. > :16:45.it. We have already invested in the infrastructure and made it says, but
:16:46. > :16:50.the keep for us to make this work, we need to attract at least 250,000
:16:51. > :16:56.visitors a year. I think it is going to be a big benefit for the local
:16:57. > :17:01.people, and hopefully an improvement on what the county council were able
:17:02. > :17:05.to do. They will do a lot of repairs and it will be a long project, but
:17:06. > :17:10.we will be interested to see how it goes. When I heard that it was going
:17:11. > :17:15.to be open all year round, I was absolutely thrilled about that. This
:17:16. > :17:19.area here is the real difference because this is somewhere that
:17:20. > :17:23.people have not been, isn't it? Yes, we have opened up the whole of the

:20:22. > :20:24.there are always fans there and they always turn out.
:20:25. > :20:28.So, they agree on that, but there the similarity ends.
:20:29. > :20:33.And a good save from Grant, and he did it again!
:20:34. > :20:36.The 34-year-old was signed on loan from Derby in the autumn
:20:37. > :20:42.Really enjoying the good times, playing every week

:20:45. > :20:48.I almost don't want this season to finish, to be quite honest.
:20:49. > :20:51.In contrast Butland broke his ankle against Germany 12 months ago
:20:52. > :20:58.When you're staring out of the gym window,
:20:59. > :21:00.watching all the other boys training, it is difficult
:21:01. > :21:05.It is a tough time, you are really low for quite a long time
:21:06. > :21:08.because you are not able to do what you want to do.
:21:09. > :21:11.But he's now back in full training and desperate to play.
:21:12. > :21:14.Who are the fans going to see in goal for Stoke City in August?
:21:15. > :21:18.This is the club I am at, this is where I want to be,
:21:19. > :21:23.and I am determined to get that number one shirt back.
:21:24. > :21:25.For me personally, it is a great challenge and one
:21:26. > :21:30.I want to be part of every single game between now
:21:31. > :21:43.The fans will look forward to the battle.
:21:44. > :21:49.Coventry City are aiming to do the double tonight. Can they manage it?
:21:50. > :21:51.Tonight's game is live on BBC Coventry and Warwickshire
:21:52. > :21:55.By the way, well done to Tunstall Town.
:21:56. > :21:58.Once described as the worst team in the country after their winless
:21:59. > :22:01.run stretched to 171 games, now they've finally got something

:22:19. > :22:28.It's a far cry from Hollywood, so we sent our Arts reporter
:22:29. > :22:32.Actor John Malkovich, taking on the role of a fictional

:22:35. > :22:49.This is actor John Malkovich. I have listed myself up into absolute

:23:18. > :23:19.character perform with a musical response from Austrian organist
:23:20. > :23:31.and conductor Martin Haselbock. A lot of people will identify you
:23:32. > :23:39.with the film such as Dangerous, liaison is, but how it differ being
:23:40. > :23:43.in a film and performing in front of a live audience, for you? Theatre is
:23:44. > :23:51.a living, ephemeral thing. What happens tonight is what matters.
:23:52. > :23:58.That is what people take away, or leave behind. Movies are much more
:23:59. > :24:00.manufactured, and much more manipulated. They are not real.
:24:01. > :24:02.This is the second time John Malkovich has come
:24:03. > :24:07.to perform in Birmingham, a city which has his approval.
:24:08. > :24:20.It seems to be really busy. Incredibly busy. Everyone rushing
:24:21. > :24:22.around, lots of activity. I had a nice impression when we came a few
:24:23. > :24:25.years ago and it remains. Tonight's premiere is
:24:26. > :24:27.a one night only show. But the production will continue
:24:28. > :24:30.its UK tour in London next week. Satnam Rana, BBC Midlands
:24:31. > :24:35.Today, Birmingham. A car in Birmingham has been parked
:24:36. > :24:38.illegally for so long that it's racked up 26 fines,
:24:39. > :24:40.which would cost more Whilst most of the tickets
:24:41. > :24:45.on the Y-Reg Hyundai have been The vehicle's been sitting
:24:46. > :24:50.outside a row of shops In the meantime, Britannia Parking
:24:51. > :24:54.have issued fines adding up Everyone asks about it -
:24:55. > :25:00.literally everyone asks about this car that's got so many
:25:01. > :25:01.tickets on it. The fines are going to be
:25:02. > :25:04.?1000, ?2000, but we just can't do anything about it,
:25:05. > :25:10.we don't whose it is. I'm getting to like
:25:11. > :25:11.this Spring business! Fabulous weather when I
:25:12. > :25:15.stepped out this morning. Presumably unbroken sunshine now
:25:16. > :25:26.until October? Rebecca, Maybe not October, but we may make
:25:27. > :25:30.it to April, it is only ten days away after all. It has been a
:25:31. > :25:35.glorious start to spring today for some places. It was very cold this
:25:36. > :25:39.morning, and we have unbroken blue sky to start the day. But tempered
:25:40. > :25:44.as did fall to one or two Celsius. We saw them rising a little bit,
:25:45. > :25:48.helped by the sunshine, and we reached eight or nine Celsius today.
:25:49. > :25:52.A few breaks in the cloud, and if you escaped the wind, it did not
:25:53. > :25:57.feel too bad. But through this afternoon, we saw the cloud breaking
:25:58. > :26:03.and giving us some showers, and some contained this. This is pale this
:26:04. > :26:08.afternoon. More of that into tomorrow with low pressure driving
:26:09. > :26:13.our weather. A very messy system with weather fronts wrapped around
:26:14. > :26:17.it. It will be over the top of us tomorrow, which is one benefit, but
:26:18. > :26:21.it comes with showers head of it this evening which will push to
:26:22. > :26:24.overnight tonight, and then that rain band will work its way in from
:26:25. > :26:28.the West. Heavy at times and it arrives through the early hours of
:26:29. > :26:32.the morning. Our temperatures are listing slightly. So, a wet brush
:26:33. > :26:39.our and there will be some lively showers, which could contain Hale,
:26:40. > :26:43.sleet and snow. Some rumbles of thunder as well, and it does take
:26:44. > :26:48.its time to move. Once it does, we will get a few breaks in the clouds,
:26:49. > :26:52.with temperatures reaching nine Celsius. Pleasant with those lighter
:26:53. > :26:56.winds in the sunshine. Eventually it does start to work further north,
:26:57. > :27:02.and behind that we will be left with some holes in the cloud and we could
:27:03. > :27:06.get some fog patches developing. That is the weather system wrapping
:27:07. > :27:10.itself back in, so we are not done with it yet. A few showers on
:27:11. > :27:14.Thursday pushing in from the east. Some places will escape it during
:27:15. > :27:18.the day, but as we head towards the end of the week, and for Friday,
:27:19. > :27:20.pressure builds and it will be much calmer. Cold nights, but pleasant
:27:21. > :27:28.with some sunshine for Mother's Day. Tomorrow we will find out about a
:27:29. > :27:33.mural which has been discovered in a church in Coventry. It was painted
:27:34. > :27:37.at Saint Marks Church, but it has been hidden behind a partition wall
:27:38. > :27:38.since the 1970s and it will now be restored.
:27:39. > :27:42.I'll be back at 10.30pm with your late update.
