Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. The headlines tonight: | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
If all the pensioners take advice off me, and I mean that, | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
is that when people come to the door, don't open the door. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Colin Bennett was the victim of a so-called distraction burglary | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
when thieves talked their way into his home. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Why ask? The school that has had five minibuses stolen in the last | :00:28. | :00:38. | |
month. I am here for the challenge says Harry Redknapp after his | :00:39. | :00:39. | |
Thursday at Birmingham city. After I said yes, I looked | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
at the fixtures and thought, "It's an even bigger challenge | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
than I thought it was." His 37th coming up this weekend and | :00:44. | :00:53. | |
his last, the 80-year-old who has ran every London Marathon since it | :00:54. | :00:54. | |
began in 1981. And after a touch of frost last | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
night where temperatures hit freezing in one or two spots, | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
time for a change - there's milder weather | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
on the way with some rain. "I keep looking at her photo | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
to say I've let you down." The words of a heartbroken widower, | :01:04. | :01:15. | |
who was duped by a team The so-called "distraction burglars" | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
tricked their way into 80-year-old Colin Bennett's home | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
in Sutton Coldfield to steal his late wife's wedding ring, | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
jewellery and over ?3000 in cash. Today he invited our reporter | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
Ben Godfrey into his home in the hope of getting | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
back his wife's precious belongings. I've let her down. I've let her | :01:35. | :01:52. | |
down. I talked to her now, and ICI have let you down, and I have. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
Colin Bennett first set eyes on Irene at school | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
They went on to have two children and were married for over 50 years | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
She had dementia, and Colin nursed her. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
Her wedding ring - symbolising their enduring love - | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
I cried. I just can't stop it, you see what I mean? It breaks my heart. | :02:10. | :02:27. | |
If I told you, I am a very hard man normally, but this has just pulled | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
me up hard. -- apart. Last Wednesday morning, | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
at around 11 o'clock, a man called at Colin's door falsely | :02:36. | :02:36. | |
claiming to work for Severn Trent. After seeing an ID badge, Colin | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
let him in but left his door ajar. The trickster ran the tap | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
in the kitchen for twenty minutes while his accomplice sneaked | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
upstairs and began rifling An 18 carat gold chain, | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
earrings and three thousand two All that money was meant for your | :02:48. | :03:05. | |
son, Neil? It was Neal's benefit money, ?1200 of my pension. | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Colin couldn't pay it into the bank because he's recovering | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
One of the burglars is described as white, five tall in his late 20s, | :03:11. | :03:21. | |
wearing a dark baseball cap, a dark jacket and grey jeans. Detectives | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
want to speak to anyone who may have been offered some of Colin's | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
positions for sale in the last seven days. Colin, what advice would you | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
give to people who don't know what you know now? I am saying to all the | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
pensioners, if we want to break it, and we are the only people that can | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
do it, we have got to say to these people, if they are telling lies, | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
the book thereof. -- they will clear off. | :03:50. | :03:50. | |
Colin Bennett speaking to Ben Godfrey. | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
And if you have any information that can help West Midlands Police, | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
you can contact them via the non emergency number 101. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
Two well known cattle breeders say compensation for farmers whose | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
livestock is affected by TB isn't nearly enough. | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
Last December Staffordshire farmer Ernie Durose had almost his entire | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
herd slaughtered to stop the disease spreading. | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
Tomorrow, Michael Brown from Herefordshire will send one | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
of his best breeding cows to be culled. | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
He says he'll only get back a fraction of her value, | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
Nicola Beckford joins us live from the farm in just a moment, | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
Michael Brown is counting down the hours with this cow. | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
He says she's one of the most perfect cows he's ever bred. | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
But she's tested positive for bovine TB and now she's one of two cows | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
When she started to develop, she was obviously an elite cow. | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
She stands out, to me, in amongst all the others I've got. | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
Michael's been breeding prize-winning cattle | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
He says that DEFRA have completely underestimated his cow's true value. | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
They bring farmers, get full value for their animals, | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
and I'm getting a paltry amount of ?1,857 for a cow that's worth... | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
I mean, what the future might have held for her, | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
she could be worth infinitesimal amounts of money. | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
But the department say they have a well-established system | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
in place for determining compensation for TB affected cattle, | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
which takes into account an animal's pedigree, | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
It's not just the cull that's a problem on this farm. | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
DEFRA have placed a ban on moving any cattle, | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
including these bulls, at the height of the selling season. | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
By the time it's lifted, it'll be too late to get a good price. | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
And it's not just here that's been hit by TB. | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
This Staffordshire farmer lost almost his entire herd of Guernsey | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
dairy cattle to the disease before Christmas. | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
Obviously I want nothing to pay for that, so that comes out of me. | :05:57. | :06:11. | |
It's very strange getting up in the morning and having no cows to milk. | :06:12. | :06:27. | |
Back in Herefordshire, Michael has accepted | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
that he will lose two of his best pedigree cows. | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
What he can't come to terms with is the compensation pay out. | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
The cows will be sent to abbatoir tomorrow and slaughtered on Friday. | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
And we can join Nicola at Michael Brown's farm now. | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
Clearly an extremely frustrating time, a worrying time | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
for cattle breeders, Nicola? | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
It certainly is a very worrying time. | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
TB still affects hundreds of beef and dairy farmers | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
In the last 12 months up to January 2017, there have been | :06:52. | :07:02. | |
nearly two million TB tests carried out on cattle | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
And 7,528 cattle have been slaughtered as a result. | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
This is an issue of great concern to the National Farmers | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
Union who echo the sentiments we've heard here in Herefordshire | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
While the NFU is supporting its members and welcomes | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
the progress being made to make England TB free, it says there | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
are some things money can't buy - like a herd which has been improved | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
by years of good breeding and genetics. | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
are being advised to avoid travelling to and from | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
There are no trains running in or out of Euston at the moment, | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
due to a line-side fire which has damaged signalling equipment. | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
The Prime Minister, Theresa May, has paid tribute | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
to a Birmingham University student who was stabbed to | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
23-year-old Hannah Bladon from Burton on Trent | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
was attacked on a tram at the weekend. | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
She was taking part in an exchange programme at the Hebrew University - | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
she'd been studying there since January. | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
A 57-year-old Palestinian man has been arrested. | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
Our thoughts are also with the family and friends of Hanna, who was | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
murdered injuries alone last week. Workers at BMW's engine plant have | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
been staging the first in a series of strikes today | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
in a dispute over pensions. Members of Unite, at | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
Hams Hall in Warwickshire, are taking part in a 24 hour | :08:26. | :08:26. | |
stoppage over plans to end The union says some members | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
could lose ?160,000 We are out to achieve the company to | :08:30. | :08:49. | |
go into negotiations and find a resolution and what the long-term | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
could be on the pensions. We are fighting to keep the pensions open | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
in some form or shape and we have given the company many solutions but | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
we are just ignoring them at the moment. | :09:00. | :09:00. | |
BMW says it wants to resume negotiations. | :09:01. | :09:15. | |
Elected in 1997, she told supporters in an e-mail she knew when it was | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
time to stand down. Whoever is elected as the Labour candidate will | :09:23. | :09:23. | |
have my full backing, she said. The Labour MP for Wolverhampton | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
South West, Rob Marris says he won't stand in the General Election | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
on June eighth. Mr Marris, who was born | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
in the city, has been He lost his seat in the 2010 | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
election to the Conservatives The new Birmingham City manager | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
Harry Redknapp says he's facing a big challenge to keep them | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
in the Championship this season. His arrival follows the resignation | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
of Gianfranco Zola, with Blues just three points above | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
the relegation zone. Our sports editor Nick Clitheroe | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
was at Redknapp's first media conference today, | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
and he's at St Andrews now. There is some flash photography | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
coming up. He was bubbly and confident as we | :10:02. | :10:11. | |
have come to expect but Harry Redknapp is 70 years old, he hasn't | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
managed for two years and he told us his last coaching sessions was with | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
the team of under ten in the park over the road. But he just loves the | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
game, it took him 15 minutes to accept the offer from Birmingham | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
city and the hardest part was telling his wife. | :10:29. | :10:29. | |
When I got home, half past two in the morning, my wife was asleep. | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
I said, "I'm going to Birmingham end of the season." | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
Everybody I know thinks I'm mad, but I'm here. | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
So what does he think is the key to keeping Birmingham up? | :10:42. | :10:53. | |
He is targeting one win from these three games, maybe four points, but | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
takes comfort from the fact that in 2002 he took over Portsmouth with | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
five games to go, kept them up and the next the league. He was asked if | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
blues stay up, which he stay on? I met the representative | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
the other day of the owners and they seem good people, | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
ambitious people, got big So I think there's no reason, | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
if we survive this year, which I'm sure we can, | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
that the future's good. The first of his three games is | :11:18. | :11:28. | |
against Aston Villa on Sunday. The Villa striker will miss that game, | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
Jonathan Kodjiia, despite having his ban reduced from three bands to | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
wonder. He is embarking on a new error at Saint Andrews and you can | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
see more of his press conference on the Midlands today Facebook page. | :11:46. | :11:46. | |
In rugby, the Wasps forward Joe Launchbury has been surprisingly | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
left out of the British and Irish Lions squad | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
His club team-mate Elliot Daly is included, though, | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
along with the Worcester centre Ben Te'o. | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
He'll become the first player from the Warriors | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
A school in Kidderminster is struggling for transport | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
after having five minibuses stolen in the last eight months. | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
The ContinU Plus Academy caters for youngsters who've been excluded | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
from other schools or struggled in mainstream education. | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
Two of the buses that bring them to school were stolen over Easter, | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
This is the only minibus left at the Continu Plus academy | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
in Kidderminster a school that sets out to give children a second chance | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
in Kidderminster a school that sets out to give children | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
Some of them take some persuading to return to the classroom | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
and the transport that picks them up is crucial. | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
So the theft pictured on CCTV of two of their three minibuses | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
over the Easter break has upset everybody. | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
I did actually cry. It is heartbreaking and devastating and | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
it's not just that, the kids, the rely on this transport. Whoever they | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
were, they came prepared cutting through a padlock, removing tracking | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
devices from the vehicles and dumped them in a flower pot and then | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
manoeuvred around the ball out that the school had installed last summer | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
after the first theft. Three minibuses were stolen that | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
time - this was one of them. The head and her staff have pruned | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
spending elsewhere to top up the insurance pay out and buy | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
new vehicles and now We are incredibly sad about it. Our | :13:20. | :13:31. | |
transport is a lifeline for our children to come to school. We | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
keirin about them very much, we want them here and educate them and look | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
after them and we can't at the moment. | :13:39. | :13:39. | |
Without the buses a big part of school life it's outdoor trips | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
I was disgusted because it happened in the past. The depend on the bus | :13:43. | :13:56. | |
because the need to get to kayaking destinations, for example. I feel | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
awful because I can't get to and from school and it's affecting my | :14:01. | :14:01. | |
learning. Police are carrying | :14:02. | :14:02. | |
out forensics tests It's important the public get in | :14:03. | :14:11. | |
touch with us if they've seen these vehicles, the art sign read and | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
vehicles, it would be unusual for them to be seen outside the | :14:16. | :14:16. | |
immediate area. The school's motto is | :14:17. | :14:17. | |
we will work it out. With the summer term starting | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
on Monday, this a problem When Birmingham became | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
the first city to stage the People's Marathon in 1980, | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
Dale Lyons jumped at Little did he know, that he'd | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
soon become addicted On Sunday, in London, | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
Dale is hoping to complete the 100th and final marathon | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
of his athletics career. Birmingham's cherry blossom | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
was looking beautiful. And Dale Lyons was | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
blooming marvellous too. Having just celebrated his 80th | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
birthday, Dale's decided that Sunday's London Marathon | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
will be his last. because only 11 people can claim | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
to have been ever present since it And Dale is proud to be part of this | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
select group of marathon runners. It's such a status symbol, | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
in a way, and it's basically And over the past 36 years, | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
Dale has proved it by tossing pancakes along the 26 mile route, | :15:18. | :15:25. | |
or carrying an egg on a spoon, or doing anything to | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
raise money for charity. So this year he's running to help | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
people like Warren Newman, who's Just one of many who will benefit | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
from this ?14 million centre, the new HQ of the deaf | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
blind charity, Sense. I'm really proud of him | :15:43. | :15:51. | |
running to raise money for Sense and for charity, | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
and it's so great that this If people like Dale and what he's | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
done is absolutely amazing, but everybody like him just making | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
possible a really fantastic So if you're planning to watch | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
the London Marathon on Sunday, keep an eye out for Dale | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
in his distinctive running vest, as he prepares to run his 100th | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
and final marathon at the age of 80. Not with all of the London | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
Marathon crowd around me. No, I'm afraid I'll | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
need it on the day. An ex-prisoner who shot to notoriety | :16:27. | :16:35. | |
as one of only two men ever to escape from Shrewsbury Jail has | :16:36. | :16:49. | |
been back behind bars today. Walter Groom escaped in 1961, | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
he was on the run for six days. Today he returned to the former jail | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
to explain to our reporter Joanne Writtle how he's to become | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
a tour guide for a day to talk Walter Groom never thought he'd | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
want to go back to jail, but 56 years after escaping, | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
he's brought his wife Barbara back Graham Goodwin was a | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
prison officer here. Walter's escape from | :17:12. | :17:19. | |
here is legendary. Walter was known and spoke of over | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
the years, because being the only Older officers that | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
were here at the time and as I came here in the 80s, | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
those stories would get relayed. This was Walter aged 25, he served | :17:34. | :17:48. | |
three sentences for breaking into shops and in amongst the lines of | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
cells, Walter finds his own. And there was no sanitation. There was | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
only a part to do your bit thin. In 1961, Walter escaped with another | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
prisoner, the only two ever to manage it. I was approached by | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
another prisoner and he was desperate to get out. I thought, | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
that would be a challenge. It took 16 days to plan and in basic terms | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
this is what happened. There was a man out here and we had to go down | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
there and remove grills, the tunnel led to another manhole and out into | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
the yard. We need a human ladder to get out of the wall. Can you believe | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
and know you did it? Noel, looking at it now, I can't. His wife has | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
written a book about it. He turned his life around when they met. The | :18:45. | :18:53. | |
couple's two sons only learned of their father's notoriety as adults. | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
I wanted to make a new life for myself, always wanted to do that. I | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
succeeded in the end. It was hard going, but I did it. Walter was | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
captured after six days on the run. Today he doesn't need to scale walls | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
to get out. Assya Shabir has what's | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
known as Butterfly Skin. It's a rare condition that causes | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
agonising blisters across her skin When she was born, | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
her parents were told At 29, Assya from Yardley | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
in Birmingham has fulfilled a lifelong ambition | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
to skydive. Her inspirational blogs on social | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
media are full of fun and hope for the future and tonight she's | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
sharing her story with us. I'm Assya, I'm 29 and | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
I have junctional EB. This is my cameraman | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
and this is my instructor. I get internal and external | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
blistering from head to toe. Some days it's really good, some | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
days I'm unable to move completely. I've never felt so beautiful | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
in my life, like ever. Yeah, I'm really happy, | :20:04. | :20:15. | |
excited more than anything! I think my excitement | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
is overriding my nerves. When I was born, I was supposed | :20:22. | :20:32. | |
to be born in Birmingham with EB. This is nothing, it could be much | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
worse, so I am thankful I think the landing | :20:36. | :20:51. | |
was the best bit. I just want to show everyone with EB | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
with the condition that I have that you don't have to stop | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
because of your condition. You can do what you want, | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
when you want and how you want. There are more videos about Assya | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
on the BBC news pages and the Midlands Today facebook | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
page, the address is on screen now. And I'm pleased to say Assya's | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
with me in the studio. Hello. Hello. You put up with so | :21:22. | :21:35. | |
much, how do you keep so cheerful and positive? It is the people I'm | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
around, my family and friends and my faith in God. It gets me through | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
each and every day, knowing this is just a test for me and my beliefs, | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
this is a test and may hereafter is going to be much better. You have | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
done the skydive, do you have plans for the next outing? I would love to | :21:56. | :22:06. | |
do another one in Wales, it looks amazing, the longest running Europe. | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
In your day to day life, what's it like? What is the reaction from the | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
public? How do your family called? It is difficult, because some days | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
are worse than others, to the point where I can't get out of bed. | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
Sometimes I'm stuck to the bed, it is harder for my family to see me in | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
pain. On outings, sometimes you have to ignore the public. Society as | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
well, it's like that saying goes, ignorance is bliss. They don't see | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
past what they see and sometimes it's hard. I struggle when people | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
speak to my family and I am standing right next to them. It's like, I can | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
speak. It's lovely to meet you and talk to you. Congratulations, you | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
raised 2000 from the skydive. Thank you. | :22:58. | :22:58. | |
So how's the weather looking for skydivers across the Midlands? | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
A picture of calm at the minute here but if you are hurtling through the | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
skies at that altitude, a whole different story. Take a look at | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
this, a picture of tranquillity at Warwickshire this morning, a lovely | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
sunrise. Plenty of sun right sunshine. That cloud slowly filtered | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
favourite so by the end of the day this is what it looked like. Milky | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
white guys but not really producing very much rain. There is a distinct | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
lack of rain right now. Even over the next couple of days, even though | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
we have lots of cloud around, it is still going to be a mainly dry | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
picture, just the odd aspect of rain here and there. Enough to dampen the | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
ground or perhaps not at all. It will warm up in spite of the cloud. | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
A couple of cold front flooding in from the north-west for tonight and | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
tomorrow and later on Friday, that's what's producing that light rain. | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
High pressure to decide about keeping most of the rain at bay. | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
Tonight, it is going to be a cloudy picture. The cloud is across | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
northern parts of the region right now. Clear skies towards Central and | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
southern parts. If you are looking out for the asteroid hurtling past | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
Earth over the next couple of days, that is your best chance of seeing | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
it if you're in the size of the region, but it's not visible from | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
the naked eye, only visible through a telescope. Later tonight, the | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
cloud syncing southwards, it should stay largely drive us places but it | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
will produce rain across the north of the region. The south-east stain | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
clearest of all, but unlike last night where we had a touch of frost | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
and temperatures near freezing, tonight is much milder, eight or | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
nine Celsius. Overall, it's going to be a cloudy day. That cloud | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
continues to sink southwards and we will see a bit more in the way of | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
rain elsewhere. Not just in northern parts but in very minimal and mostly | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
dry conditions. Highs of 14 to 15 Celsius. It will be milder. | :25:09. | :25:09. | |
I'll be back at ten thirty with your late update. | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
Have a good evening. Bye for now. | :25:14. | :25:41. | |
the most that have ever voted for anything in this country, | :25:42. | :25:45. |
