:01:05. > :01:06.gardeners take note. More details on that

:01:26. > :01:28.appeared before a judge Seated in the dock accompanied

:01:29. > :01:36.by a female custody officer, the 23-year-old man accused

:01:37. > :01:43.of the murders of a mother and son. 13-year-old Pierce Wilkinson died

:01:44. > :01:46.at the family home in Greyhound Lane in Stourbridge along with his mum

:01:47. > :01:51.Tracey. His father, Peter, Tracey's

:01:52. > :02:02.husband, suffered wounds Any hearing that lasted seven

:02:03. > :02:07.minutes, the defendants did to confirm his name. There was no

:02:08. > :02:08.application for bail. His trial will likely take place in the autumn and

:02:09. > :02:10.last up to two weeks. Yesterday the Wilkinson's 18

:02:11. > :02:14.year-old daughter, Lydia, who was away at university

:02:15. > :02:16.when the attack happened visited the family home

:02:17. > :02:18.to see the many floral Her brother, nicknamed Pippin,

:02:19. > :02:24.she described as fun-loving, Mum Tracey was she said loving

:02:25. > :02:33.and caring, a wonderful mother. In statement she also said

:02:34. > :02:35.Aaron Barley had never lived at the family home but had been

:02:36. > :02:38.helped by the family In court he's been described

:02:39. > :02:44.as of no fixed address. Lydia's father, Peter,

:02:45. > :02:52.remains seriously ill in hospital. Children's Emergency Services centre

:02:53. > :02:55.at County Hospital in Stafford is to remain closed

:02:56. > :02:59.after a review found that re-opening it would be

:03:00. > :03:01."unsafe and unsustainable". The centre shut last

:03:02. > :03:03.August following concerns Since then a minor injuries

:03:04. > :03:08.unit's been in place. That'll be replaced with an urgent

:03:09. > :03:10.care centre to meet demand for treatment for under 16s

:03:11. > :03:12.with minor illnesses. Here's our Staffordshire

:03:13. > :03:19.reporter, Liz Copper. For more than six months now,

:03:20. > :03:21.children from Stafford needing emergency treatment have been coming

:03:22. > :03:27.here to Stoke-on-Trent. It is one of the larger

:03:28. > :03:30.hospital A departments Now there is confirmation this

:03:31. > :03:34.arrangement shall continue. The number of children

:03:35. > :03:36.who would use this Therefore, it is much better

:03:37. > :03:45.to treat this very small group of very sick children in

:03:46. > :03:47.larger hospitals, such as the Royal Stoke

:03:48. > :03:52.here or Wolverhampton. Since the Children's Emergency

:03:53. > :03:57.Centre in Stafford was shut, up to ten extra patients per week

:03:58. > :04:00.have been transferred to be treated The trust said it has made

:04:01. > :04:04.the changes to make sure safe children's services

:04:05. > :04:07.are delivered at both hospitals. The minor injuries unit for under

:04:08. > :04:09.16s at Stafford will continue But 46% of patients have been

:04:10. > :04:19.attending with minor illnesses. The plan is to start

:04:20. > :04:23.a GP led services. Campaigners who fought to keep

:04:24. > :04:26.services at Stafford view this It affects so many families,

:04:27. > :04:34.so many children. When are they going to see sense

:04:35. > :04:43.and stop doing this to us? The adult A department

:04:44. > :04:46.at Stafford will be unaffected member of staff trained

:04:47. > :04:54.in resuscitation on duty in Stafford It seems there's barely a week goes

:04:55. > :04:58.by when we're not reporting on hospital closures -

:04:59. > :05:00.either temporary or permanent. Our Health Corespondent

:05:01. > :05:02.Michele Paduano is here - So what's the overall picture

:05:03. > :05:07.like around the region, Michele? Reducing the number of children's

:05:08. > :05:10.units and emergency departments has been on the cards for more than ten

:05:11. > :05:13.years, but the speed is increasing Well, there's a national shortage

:05:14. > :05:18.of children's and emergency consultants and safety regulations

:05:19. > :05:21.mean that there should be consultant European working time regulations

:05:22. > :05:26.also mean that more doctors Stafford has today downgraded

:05:27. > :05:35.children's services The Emergency department is only

:05:36. > :05:40.open 12 hours a day and the plan going forward is likely

:05:41. > :05:48.to be complete closure. In Worcestershire, a public

:05:49. > :05:49.consultation has just and children's had already moved

:05:50. > :05:53.from the Alex in Redditch The A in Redditch is likely only

:05:54. > :05:59.to be equipped in future In Shropshire, children's services

:06:00. > :06:02.moved from Shrewsbury to Telford, but could now move back

:06:03. > :06:04.to Shrewsbury because the plan has changed

:06:05. > :06:08.and they now want to close In Warwickshire, they are still

:06:09. > :06:12.arguing, but the George Eliot in Nuneaton is the most likely

:06:13. > :06:15.to lose services as it is smallest And in the Black Country the most

:06:16. > :06:20.at risk of losing out As well as having fewer specialists,

:06:21. > :06:29.you don't have to have surgeons and anaesthetists

:06:30. > :06:31.and all the operating staff Modern medicine does say

:06:32. > :06:36.concentrating expertise in bigger hospitals leads to better outcomes,

:06:37. > :06:44.but what frightens the public is how you deal with those patients

:06:45. > :06:47.who are dying children when you have to drive past the front

:06:48. > :06:58.door of a hospital. Police have released images of a man

:06:59. > :07:01.they believe murdered a stranger in a random attack at a Birmingham

:07:02. > :07:03.tram stop during Friday 57-year-old Anthony Banting suffered

:07:04. > :07:06.multiple stab wounds Ben Sidwell is by the tram

:07:07. > :07:10.stop for us now, where So what do we know

:07:11. > :07:17.about the attack, Ben? The attack happened just before five

:07:18. > :07:21.o'clock on Friday. He got off the tram here and made his way across

:07:22. > :07:28.and up to the exit where he was attacked. It seemingly random attack

:07:29. > :07:34.and was stabbed multiple times and sadly died at the scene. The judge

:07:35. > :07:38.transport police have released CCTV footage. That is of a man they

:07:39. > :07:43.believe may have carried out the murder. The very keen to speak to

:07:44. > :07:48.him and anyone who knows who he is. The also saying there were two Asian

:07:49. > :07:51.women here around the scene at the time. They may have witnessed

:07:52. > :07:57.something, maybe the man leaving and maybe the attack itself. We are keen

:07:58. > :08:02.to speak to them as well. With the murderer still on the list, there

:08:03. > :08:05.are concerns around here. The senior investigator says he understands

:08:06. > :08:08.that are doing everything they can to make everybody feel safe.

:08:09. > :08:11.Understandably, I think people would be concerned.

:08:12. > :08:14.I would reiterate that we have increased our patrols on the

:08:15. > :08:17.We are working in close proximity with

:08:18. > :08:19.our colleagues in West Midlands Police and we are doing everything

:08:20. > :08:33.What more do we know about the man who died? Anthony was 57. He has

:08:34. > :08:39.been described as the loving and family man. On the day he was

:08:40. > :08:43.heading to see his son at a local pub and that is why he got off at

:08:44. > :08:50.the start. Plenty of floral tributes to him here. The British Transport

:08:51. > :08:55.Police say if you know anything get in touch as soon as possible. -- at

:08:56. > :08:56.this tram stop. Thanks for joining us

:08:57. > :08:58.here on Midlands Today I've walked my legs off

:08:59. > :09:03.the last couple of days! The forecast later with Shefali,

:09:04. > :09:06.also this evening: If you go down to the woods today,

:09:07. > :09:09.you'll find them trying to create And celebrating a special

:09:10. > :09:13.anniversary down by the riverside at the birthplace of

:09:14. > :09:21.the industrial revolution. Well, what an occasion at Wembley

:09:22. > :09:24.yesterday as Coventry City won their first silverware

:09:25. > :09:25.for 30 years. They won the Checkatrade Trophy -

:09:26. > :09:28.roared on by 45,000 Sky Blues fans, among them one young fan who has

:09:29. > :09:31.a very special Yes, I am. Welcome to the Howden

:09:32. > :09:49.area of Coventry. Welcome to the Coundon area

:09:50. > :09:52.of Coventry and the family home Now James has a pair of boots that

:09:53. > :10:01.won't fit him for a very long time. That pair of boots helped Coventry

:10:02. > :10:05.City win yesterday. We will speak to James in just a moment. Here is the

:10:06. > :10:09.story of an incredible day. Surrounded by thousands,

:10:10. > :10:11.alone with his thoughts. This is the moment Gael Bigirimana,

:10:12. > :10:13.a deeply religious man, fell to his knees gave thanks

:10:14. > :10:16.for the most amazing And not just because Gael had scored

:10:17. > :10:19.Coventry City's opening goal. To set alight this Wembley

:10:20. > :10:25.final against Oxford ... And not because he was in the right

:10:26. > :10:29.place at the right time to clear off the line in the final minute

:10:30. > :10:33.to guarantee Coventry's 2-1 victory Oh, no, what really made

:10:34. > :10:38.this weekend special. was that 24 hours earlier Gael had

:10:39. > :10:52.watched his wife Natalia give birth If your baby had been born 24 hours

:10:53. > :10:56.later, would you have missed this Wembley final? That is a hard

:10:57. > :11:04.question. My wife wanted me to play but all I can do... I can't complain

:11:05. > :11:09.but give God thanks for planning how things have turned out. It is

:11:10. > :11:13.unbelievable. He is a great lad. I am really pleased for him. He scored

:11:14. > :11:20.the goal and he did that and what you we can for him. Outstanding.

:11:21. > :11:28.Earlier, Coventry's day had got off to a flying start. Seven members of

:11:29. > :11:31.the Prichard family had chosen to wear seven variations of shouts.

:11:32. > :11:41.Mary and clear how does all in stitches. They had noted figures of

:11:42. > :11:46.every player from that famous if a cup win over Spurs. Wembley Way

:11:47. > :11:52.hasn't welcomed Coventry fan since 1987 and this was an opportunity not

:11:53. > :11:57.to be missed. The silver lining in a season of very dark clouds. How

:11:58. > :12:02.fitting that it was George Thomas, one of several academy graduates,

:12:03. > :12:07.that scored the second goal. The majority of Wembley went wild and so

:12:08. > :12:10.did George, just one week after his 20th birthday. You are dreaming

:12:11. > :12:15.about how it is going to go and I could never have pictured what

:12:16. > :12:23.happened out there. To get the winner in the final, that is what

:12:24. > :12:27.dreams are made of. Coventry City are the winners 2017. Had he been in

:12:28. > :12:32.touch with the owners? I have, indeed. And their reaction?

:12:33. > :12:37.Delighted. No wonder street vendor 's were still selling Coventry stuff

:12:38. > :12:42.in the city centre today. Great for the city. It's fantastic. I was just

:12:43. > :12:47.discussing how good it was. We never thought we would see this day again.

:12:48. > :12:53.I'm thrilled to bits. It is great when something after all this time.

:12:54. > :12:58.Before the end of April, relegation looked almost certain. But for 90

:12:59. > :13:05.minutes, winning at Wembley but the smiles back to the fan's faces.

:13:06. > :13:17.Let's get the story of James and his bits. Why do you have them's

:13:18. > :13:29.at the end of the match when all the players were holding the trophy,

:13:30. > :13:36.then came out and handed the football boots over to me just over

:13:37. > :13:41.the fence. Can you believe you have is here of football boots that won

:13:42. > :13:54.at Wembley? No, it is a rear chance to get them. -- a chance to get

:13:55. > :13:59.them. Will you ever wear them's maybe I will wear them once but I

:14:00. > :14:07.probably will not clean them. Lisa, could you believe the other 24 hours

:14:08. > :14:13.and these football boots? It has been incredible. We have been

:14:14. > :14:17.speaking to local radio and television, 24-hour is for the young

:14:18. > :14:22.boy 's dream to come true likeness was amazing. It has been incredible

:14:23. > :14:29.and it is nice to think so much publicity has been given. It also

:14:30. > :14:34.makes young people get behind the club and the city. I could not say

:14:35. > :14:40.it better myself. We will be back later with the rest of the sport but

:14:41. > :14:44.the fans are smiling. I would have given anything at your age to have

:14:45. > :14:50.something like that happen to me. Wonderful.

:14:51. > :14:52.Highways England says it growing increasingly concerned

:14:53. > :14:57.about the number of road workers being killed or seriously injured

:14:58. > :15:02.There've been a dozen deaths in the past decade,

:15:03. > :15:05.many as a result of being hit by a motorist recklessly entering

:15:06. > :15:10.The road may be coned off - workers wearing high vis gear -

:15:11. > :15:12.but it doesn't stop some drivers ploughing on.

:15:13. > :15:15.This lorry driver makes a mockery of a lane closure.

:15:16. > :15:27.Menacing behaviour with the human cost. Les Bramwell was hit by a car

:15:28. > :15:32.whilst repairing a pothole in Stoke-on-Trent last year. These

:15:33. > :15:37.images capture the moment before impact. The grandfather of four was

:15:38. > :15:43.left with a broken neck and leg and he is not able to return to work,

:15:44. > :15:49.when you're on. Lucky to be here. I am trying to get the date out of my

:15:50. > :15:54.mind and get on with my life but that overtakes everything. Highways

:15:55. > :15:58.England say 12 road workers have lost their lives doing their job. We

:15:59. > :16:04.have seen figures that suggests more than 300 have been injured in that

:16:05. > :16:08.time, making it the 16th most dangerous occupation going. At the

:16:09. > :16:12.traffic control centre, this camera was trained on the mortuary this

:16:13. > :16:20.afternoon after a serious crash. It gives the sort of idea that... We

:16:21. > :16:25.have recorded since last May incidents of cars driving

:16:26. > :16:30.incorrectly. I would say to people, just imagine what it would be like

:16:31. > :16:36.if heavy goods vehicles were driving through your place of work. The

:16:37. > :16:41.driver who injured Les was fined and given three points on his licence.

:16:42. > :16:45.Do you think that was a good penalty for him? No, it will not be a

:16:46. > :16:50.deterrent. Driving behaviour is difficult to predict but that has

:16:51. > :16:53.not stopped highways England setting itself a target to ensure no good

:16:54. > :17:08.worker is killed or injured by the year 2040. How will climate change

:17:09. > :17:11.affect a English forest? Scientists are artificially creating the

:17:12. > :17:15.atmosphere of the future across acres of Staffordshire woodland, the

:17:16. > :17:21.Sting Green how is gas levels to see how the trees and plants react. I am

:17:22. > :17:26.not a scientist but this is an intriguing long-term experiment.

:17:27. > :17:28.At first sight this wood in Norbury in Staffordshire

:17:29. > :17:34.Ancient oaks are just about to burst into leaf.

:17:35. > :17:40.But this entire wood is now a massive scientific experiment.

:17:41. > :17:45.The important thing about this experiment is that we have taken the

:17:46. > :17:51.laboratory into the woodlands. It is very much about how the plants

:17:52. > :17:52.interact with the microbes in the soil, the insects and so on.

:17:53. > :17:55.These masts will pump out greenhouse gas carbon dioxide...

:17:56. > :17:57.Artificially raising levels of the gas to where scientists think

:17:58. > :18:06.Then they'll see how the wood reacts.

:18:07. > :18:12.Only the researchers and scientists can actually go inside the heart of

:18:13. > :18:18.the wood inside the tower is because that a area is packed with

:18:19. > :18:24.instruments. There are high tap two Tech robots. Shortly, this is going

:18:25. > :18:28.to be the most measured with land anywhere in the northern hemisphere.

:18:29. > :18:33.We want to follow the carbon that we are adding in as it comes into that

:18:34. > :18:36.woodland, it is taken up by the plants through photosynthesis. We

:18:37. > :18:43.want to follow it as it goes through the ecosystems. Some of it will be

:18:44. > :18:48.stored and some of it will come out. We were here when you're a goal. The

:18:49. > :18:53.entire aim is to keep the impact on the wood to a minimum. Making sure

:18:54. > :18:58.any changes are down to the extra carbon dioxide and nothing else.

:18:59. > :19:02.When it is all over, everything will be removed. When we are finished, we

:19:03. > :19:08.will answer them and tick the towers away. We will let the Forest go back

:19:09. > :19:12.to its natural resting state. For the next ten years, this weird is

:19:13. > :19:14.the site for an extraordinary scientific experiment.

:19:15. > :19:24.Let's get back to sport and Ian's here.

:19:25. > :19:31.Have you recovered from all the excitement yesterday at Wembley?

:19:32. > :19:41.My abiding memory of the whole day will be the player beaming away

:19:42. > :19:46.remembering his triumph from 30 years ago and really enjoying

:19:47. > :19:48.sharing the success of that young Coventry city team at Wembley.

:19:49. > :19:51.It's back to the relegation battle in League One

:19:52. > :19:54.for Coventry on Wednesday night and there were contrasting fortunes

:19:55. > :19:56.in that for Port Vale and Shrewsbury on Saturday.

:19:57. > :19:59.But Nick Clitheroe starts his look back at the weekend action

:20:00. > :20:01.with an impressive showing from West Bromwich Albion

:20:02. > :20:05.They had to do a lot of defending but then who doesn't

:20:06. > :20:08.And in fact the Baggies came agonisingly close to a winner

:20:09. > :20:10.through Darren Fletcher who was returning

:20:11. > :20:21.A decent shot but it was let slip through. It hit the bar. A great

:20:22. > :20:22.point, though. The Stoke City manager Mark Hughes

:20:23. > :20:24.says they must improve if they're to ensure a place

:20:25. > :20:27.in the Premier League's top ten. Defeat at Leicester leaves them

:20:28. > :20:31.in ninth for now but with five clubs Can Aston Villa still reach

:20:32. > :20:34.the Championship playoffs. Closing a ten point gap with only

:20:35. > :20:37.seven games to play looks tough but with Jonathan Kodjia in superb

:20:38. > :20:39.goalscoring form Wolves two goal hero

:20:40. > :20:42.was rather more unexpected. Captain Danny Baath hadn't

:20:43. > :20:45.scored since August. But even he'll have to admit

:20:46. > :20:48.the goal of the game was Performance of the day surely goes

:20:49. > :20:56.to Burton Albion though. Their 1-0 victory at promotion

:20:57. > :20:58.chasing Huddersfield moves the Brewers four points

:20:59. > :21:00.clear of danger. Birmingham City are six points

:21:01. > :21:02.above the relegation zone but left Suffolk frustrated

:21:03. > :21:04.after Jonathan Grounds goal was cancelled out by a freak

:21:05. > :21:06.equaliser for Ipswich. Port Vale were the big

:21:07. > :21:09.movers in League One. This win over Wimbledon

:21:10. > :21:11.means they climb out Which all meant that Shrewsbury Town

:21:12. > :21:15.dropped in to the bottom four. Defeat at Bristol Rovers leaves them

:21:16. > :21:17.two points from safety. Walsall seem destined for mid

:21:18. > :21:20.table after their one-nil And finally plenty to cheer

:21:21. > :21:27.for Cheltenham boss Gary Johnson who's recuperating at home

:21:28. > :21:29.after a heart operation and saw Harry Pell's double keep them six

:21:30. > :21:33.points clear of the League Two drop. The Birmingham City Ladies forward

:21:34. > :21:39.Ellen White has been named in the England squad for this

:21:40. > :21:42.summer's European Championships White is the only Midlands based

:22:05. > :22:08.manager, we have won a bronze medal, we have beaten top international

:22:09. > :22:11.teams. We have beaten the best in the world. We have massive things

:22:12. > :22:14.behind us that can push us forward and really help us go forward for

:22:15. > :22:18.the Urals. We've heard about Coventry's

:22:19. > :22:21.football success, but disappointment Yes, there'll be no

:22:22. > :22:25.European Cup final were well beaten 32-17

:22:26. > :22:28.by Leinster in Dublin and will now have to concentrate

:22:29. > :22:31.on winning the Premiership. And what's this I hear

:22:32. > :22:33.about rugby league possibly Wasps have admitted

:22:34. > :22:40.they are interested in setting up a Super League club in Coventry

:22:41. > :22:43.but that faces a lot of hurdles I must also mention

:22:44. > :22:48.Gloucester who beat Cardiff in the European Challenge Cup

:22:49. > :22:58.quarter-finals and today announced their head coach will be

:22:59. > :23:00.South African Johan Ackermann It's considered to be the most

:23:01. > :23:02.important industrial Now ambitious plans have been

:23:03. > :23:05.unveiled for a fifteen million pounds makeover

:23:06. > :23:20.at the Ironbridge A cluster of industrial buildings

:23:21. > :23:22.that helped change the world for ever.

:23:23. > :23:24.Iron smelting was perfected at Coalbrookdale.

:23:25. > :23:27.It paved the way for the mass production of cooking pots sparking

:23:28. > :23:30.Now modern day businesses are being asked to consider

:23:31. > :23:32.contributing towards a ?15 million master plan to boost tourism

:23:33. > :23:34.and improve heritage attractions in the area.

:23:35. > :23:40.The Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust, celebrating its 50th birthday,

:23:41. > :23:47.I think there is a lot in it for them. Most manufacturing businesses

:23:48. > :23:51.could trace their roots back to the events that happened here over 300

:23:52. > :24:04.years ago. There is that relevant even today. It already oversees ten

:24:05. > :24:07.sites. To coincide with the anniversary, the Museum of Ireland

:24:08. > :24:14.has already had a ?1 million overhaul.

:24:15. > :24:19.But there are ambitious plans to create new exhibition areas

:24:20. > :24:21.and cafes to increase annual visitor numbers by 100,000.

:24:22. > :24:27.This is where the money will be spent. This is the old Furnace,

:24:28. > :24:35.where Abraham Darby perfected his iron smelting technique. All the

:24:36. > :24:41.innovations that started here, from the cooking pot to irony reels and

:24:42. > :24:43.the developments in industry, actually affect the way we live our

:24:44. > :24:44.lives today. A few volunteers started off

:24:45. > :24:46.the Museum Trust in 1967. One of its longest serving workers

:24:47. > :25:00.says its come a long way since then When I started in 1982, the sites

:25:01. > :25:07.were so much smaller and so much less happening and less available

:25:08. > :25:10.for the public. And if the ?15 million renovation target is

:25:11. > :25:18.achieved, the museum here should be a tourist attraction worthy of its

:25:19. > :25:22.world Heritage status. What a place to soak up this wonderful sunshine.

:25:23. > :25:35.Yes, it can go on. What ever is going on elsewhere in the region,

:25:36. > :25:41.the weather has in mind of its own on the balcony. It is breezy up

:25:42. > :25:44.here. It is looking settled. A couple of chilly nights. That is

:25:45. > :25:48.something the gardeners need to be aware of if they have delicate

:25:49. > :25:53.plants. During the day, it might not be quite as warm as it was today. A

:25:54. > :26:00.good attempt at Spring. These were today's highs. Gloucestershire

:26:01. > :26:06.airport recorded highs of 16 Celsius. As for the settled

:26:07. > :26:10.conditions, that comes from the high pressure which is out on the south

:26:11. > :26:15.west. A couple of fronts pushing through tonight. The high pressure

:26:16. > :26:20.will establish itself across the region and country. That will also

:26:21. > :26:25.just give us more settled conditions as they beat goes on and some chilly

:26:26. > :26:29.nights as well. Let's take a look at that rain that is heading in from

:26:30. > :26:37.the west. The cloud has been thickening. Earlier we had sunshine

:26:38. > :26:41.but now cloudier. We can see those frontal systems pushing in. There

:26:42. > :26:47.are two of them. The first one may pep up on occasion. The rain is

:26:48. > :26:51.light and traversing the region quite slowly. That cloud and rain

:26:52. > :26:56.keeping those temperatures up tonight. Tonight is not one of those

:26:57. > :27:01.chilly nights. Eight Celsius. A dull start to the day tomorrow and damp.

:27:02. > :27:05.Gradually, we will start to see those cloud layers being peeled back

:27:06. > :27:10.and some pleasant spells of sunshine. Temperatures up to 14

:27:11. > :27:14.Celsius in the south west. Some rain in the south-east. Tomorrow is clear

:27:15. > :27:17.and it is in those sheltered spots that we could see a touch of frost.

:27:18. > :27:18.Thank you. I'll be back at 10.30pm

:27:19. > :27:21.with your late update. We'll leave
