:01:30. > :01:38.transported to Hong Kong, where they could have sold
:01:39. > :01:40.for up to ?1.3 million. We're live by the the River Severn
:01:41. > :01:43.tonight near Tewkesbury with our Rural Affairs Correspondent,
:01:44. > :01:45.David Gregory-Kumar joins. So is it a good spot
:01:46. > :01:54.to fish for elvers, David? after dark tonight this stretch
:01:55. > :01:58.of the Severn will have plenty continuing a tradition that
:01:59. > :02:03.goes back centuries. But is all this threatened
:02:04. > :02:05.by the advent of potential Full moon means high tides and peak
:02:06. > :02:14.elver catches on the river Severn. These are all legal elvermen
:02:15. > :02:21.using their traditional elver nets. But alongside the illegal fishing
:02:22. > :02:28.for elvers on River Severn there is now a worry
:02:29. > :02:31.there is a growing amount of poaching and then smuggling
:02:32. > :02:34.of elvers out of the country. Something the legal elvers fishermen
:02:35. > :02:36.relieved to not like. If we do not look after the fish
:02:37. > :02:39.we haven't got any fish here. So people who are smuggling
:02:40. > :02:41.and taking them abroad, well, Because eels and elvers
:02:42. > :02:54.are endangered, and beause the appettite for them in China
:02:55. > :02:57.and the Far East is so large, But those who break the ban can
:02:58. > :03:01.make a lot of money. Elvers here tonight that will go
:03:02. > :03:03.to the elvers station, they are getting what we currently
:03:04. > :03:06.believe the price is - But most importantly those elvers
:03:07. > :03:13.when sold into Asia can be worth as much as ?6,000 per kilo,
:03:14. > :03:16.so that is what makes it attractive for smuggling, if you like,
:03:17. > :03:19.and the theft of elvers. This is the UK's first large-scale
:03:20. > :03:22.elver smuggling bust - Hidden under legal fish,
:03:23. > :03:27.three trays of elvers with a street value of ?1.3 million -
:03:28. > :03:31.more expensive than beluga caviar. And with elver season now
:03:32. > :03:41.at its peak on the Severn, the authorities are stepping up
:03:42. > :03:43.efforts to stop the smuggling. I think it has always been there
:03:44. > :03:47.since the export to Asia stopped. At the end of the night the legal
:03:48. > :03:55.trade end up at this elver station. The catch is weighed -
:03:56. > :04:00.in this case nearly a kilo - To the illegal trade though
:04:01. > :04:07.it's worth a lot more. It spoils it for everybody
:04:08. > :04:15.because no doubt there will be some restrictions put on or something
:04:16. > :04:18.and we will all be suffering, Increased efforts to stop smuggling
:04:19. > :04:21.will help legal elvermen So David, how do you tackle elver
:04:22. > :04:26.smuggling which is taking place under cover of darkness,
:04:27. > :04:40.in remote locations? It is all about intelligence
:04:41. > :04:48.gathering. If you talk to the border force, until this boss that he threw
:04:49. > :04:53.for ?1.3 million worth of illegal elvers, this crime was not even on
:04:54. > :04:57.their radar but now we see it is big money and it has an endangered
:04:58. > :05:00.species so they want to work with the Environment Agency are also
:05:01. > :05:08.worth the elvers fishermen to preserve fishermen -- preserve the
:05:09. > :05:15.elvers for the legal fishermen. What happens to the elvers that are
:05:16. > :05:20.caught. They are a delicacy, not so much in this country but you will
:05:21. > :05:27.find them on Spanish have passed menus, for example. That's about 40%
:05:28. > :05:31.and the other 60% are sent out to European rivers for conservation and
:05:32. > :05:35.try and boost the numbers and so that is why smuggling makes people
:05:36. > :05:42.so angry because for every kilogram that ends up any restaurant in China
:05:43. > :05:44.is one kilogram less for the conservation efforts here.
:05:45. > :05:47.And you can read more about the efforts to combat elver

:06:02. > :06:03.Five of them were partly due to the same problem -

:06:09. > :06:14.Joanne what further details do you have?
:06:15. > :06:17.The BBC's learned of at least 10 suspicious deaths at the Shrewsbury

:11:00. > :11:02.It is hidden crime and people find it very difficult to come forward
:11:03. > :11:04.and report these matters, but I think it is very difficult
:11:05. > :11:11.for men to come forward culturally as well because men are meant to be
:11:12. > :11:14.the powerhouse of family and meant to shut up and get on with it.

:16:10. > :16:11.at Etchills Wood Railway in Warwickshire was vandalised
:16:12. > :16:13.last Thursday evening. We're devastated really,

:16:19. > :16:21.time it's happened and we had a marvellous response

:20:44. > :20:46.has been named in the British team for the European Championships
:20:47. > :20:48.in Romania next week. It's the first time he has made
:20:49. > :20:51.the squad for a senior competition. The 18-year-old won the British

:21:41. > :21:44.You always want to get a peak performance out
:21:45. > :21:47.in the next Olympics, but again it is very hard
:21:48. > :21:49.to peak at each Olympics. No British person ever, I think,

:22:20. > :22:22.People ask me all the Yeah, he has changed but he has
:22:23. > :22:26.changed for the better. He copes with the media really well
:22:27. > :22:29.and tries his best to try and still give back to the community
:22:30. > :22:32.and get involved in The other vital element in Adam's
:22:33. > :22:37.rise to Olympic champion has been Mum Caroline talked him out
:22:38. > :22:41.of quitting at 14 but he's also grateful that he wasn't pushed
:22:42. > :22:44.into the sport too early. I think I have been more successful
:22:45. > :22:47.because I have not had that grilling from a young age and I am enjoying

:23:10. > :23:23.to Easter weekend, Shefali? That brisk breeze was the wind of
:23:24. > :23:29.change and it was meant to kick in sooner than it did but that meant we
:23:30. > :23:33.got to see any few more hours of sunshine and very pleasant across
:23:34. > :23:40.the region. Thicker cloud started to sink in later in the day. For many
:23:41. > :23:47.it remained dry with just a a few around but for the Easter weekend it
:23:48. > :23:50.looks like this. Plenty of dry weather but the besties will be
:23:51. > :23:56.bestowed day on Easter Monday. Some rain on good Friday and Saturday but
:23:57. > :24:03.some sunshine around and cooler days and nights. Currently it looks like
:24:04. > :24:07.this, high pressure to do with keeping these fronts slipping down
:24:08. > :24:14.from the north quite a week. The one affecting us today moves out of the
:24:15. > :24:21.way by tonight and the role model leaving us with drier conditions and
:24:22. > :24:26.lighter winds. A couple of front come-down from the north by Good
:24:27. > :24:31.Friday bringing this rain. But mostly light rain. This evening, a
:24:32. > :24:35.few spots of rain at the moment but they will clear out as will be
:24:36. > :24:39.cloudy during the early hours so much clearer conditions overnight
:24:40. > :24:45.and in the early hours temperatures drop. A little cooler in the
:24:46. > :24:50.countryside. Those cooler might persist for a few days. The chilly
:24:51. > :24:55.start tomorrow but some pleasant sunshine first thing and the cloud
:24:56. > :25:03.bubbles up in the afternoon and that, if ticking off, could set off
:25:04. > :25:09.some rain but mainly dry tomorrow. A light breeze from the westerly
:25:10. > :25:12.direction. Tomorrow night, the cloud thickens up from the North West
:25:13. > :25:19.ahead of those systems coming in from the North producing a bit of
:25:20. > :25:24.rain by Good Friday but it will be showers on Saturday. Drier towards
:25:25. > :25:31.the end of the weekend. I was particularly interested to see
:25:32. > :25:36.how warm it is tomorrow as we are on the move.
:25:37. > :25:39.Starting in Stoke Heath, Coventry, we're taking the team on the road,
:25:40. > :25:42.with help from music industry legend Pete Waterman who grew up there.
:25:43. > :25:47.of a pioneering local charity which has helped tens of thousands
:25:48. > :25:50.of local people, and celebrates its 40th birthday this weekend.
:25:51. > :25:53.I'll have your forecast, and here's a little taste of what Mr Waterman
:25:54. > :26:09.We have this crass and I played for England, I won the World
:26:10. > :26:15.Championship three times here! It was fantastic. It will be great fun.
:26:16. > :26:17.I hope he can join us tomorrow at 6:30pm and I will be back tonight at
