:07:30. > :07:31.These are just some of the photos shared on social media
:07:32. > :07:41.What's happened is that in March the NEC group re-issued tickets
:07:42. > :07:49.the idea was to make it easier for people to get in.
:07:50. > :07:52.But the NEC group have admitted failing to communicate this
:07:53. > :07:59.This lead to some fans missing a bulk of the concert.
:08:00. > :08:01.Waited nearly three hours in a queue outside.
:08:02. > :08:05.And when we got there, told there was nothing wrong with the
:08:06. > :08:08.tickets and we can go and enjoy the rest of the show
:08:09. > :08:14.So, after waiting all the time, to be told there's nothing
:08:15. > :08:23.nobody can do, absolutely disgusting.
:08:24. > :08:25.To add to the problem, some people had purchased tickets
:08:26. > :08:28.from secondary sellers and therefore were unable to get in at all -
:08:29. > :08:32.They were OK. They were a bit disappointed.

:09:01. > :09:02.Some of those children, thankfully, are coming

:09:16. > :09:19.So, once again, we do apologise to our 211 customers who
:09:20. > :09:22.did not get the experience they wanted when we sold them the ticket.
:09:23. > :09:28.Fans are on the move going into the arena tonight. It's hoped that some
:09:29. > :09:31.of them are not as disappointed as some of them were last night.
:09:32. > :09:34.More than a dozen churches have been stripped of lead from their roofs,
:09:35. > :09:39.The trail of destruction means many small parishes have been left
:09:40. > :09:41.with repair bills running to tens of thousands of pounds.
:09:42. > :09:45.St Peter's Church has been at the heart of the Worcestershire
:09:46. > :09:47.village of Inkberrow since the 13th century, but in the last
:09:48. > :09:50.few weeks it's twice been targeted by lead thieves.
:09:51. > :09:53.From the top of the tower, you can see the real
:09:54. > :10:07.When the lead is removed, the roof is no longer secure, no longer
:10:08. > :10:12.sealed, and then water gets in. Often, you don't find out the lead
:10:13. > :10:14.has gone until we get rain. Then the damage is done.
:10:15. > :10:17.Around two and half tonnes of lead were stolen in the two
:10:18. > :10:21.attacks, leaving St Peter's with a bill of around ?20,000.
:10:22. > :10:28.You can do so much. We have extra cameras and floodlighting on the
:10:29. > :10:35.roof. Other precautions are being taken. That's all you can do. We
:10:36. > :10:38.hope it's going to be sufficient to stop any in the future.
:10:39. > :10:40.It's a similar story across Worcestershire at St Andrew's
:10:41. > :10:43.Although not as obvious, nearly all the lead flashings around
:10:44. > :10:48.around one and a half tonnes of metal, was stolen.

:11:00. > :11:04.had so far for replacement and repair is over ?20,000. There's
:11:05. > :11:14.massive shortfall that we, as a church are going to have to find.
:11:15. > :11:21.It's not just these places, I've heard of at least ten places. The
:11:22. > :11:23.effect is intelligible to these small congregations. It's
:11:24. > :11:26.horrendous. It's thought the sharp

:16:56. > :17:00.people will think it's a load of old parts collected by an obsessive man

:17:16. > :17:23.years and years. To see it all together, this is the history of one
:17:24. > :17:29.factory in a collection. He has collected the porcelain since the
:17:30. > :17:34.late 60s. It was an interest and not an investment. Lots of pieces have
:17:35. > :17:39.got chips and cracks. That hasn't mattered because it was important to

:18:05. > :18:11.the collection. It dates back to 1790 and features de Ironbridge just
:18:12. > :18:18.after it was completed. It is worth 3500. The porcelain works were
:18:19. > :18:27.started in 1775, now just a small brick monument remains. It was a
:18:28. > :18:32.very busy factory, not as large as a 19th century like Coalport. But it
:18:33. > :18:38.employed many workers, some of them quite skilled. Back at the auction
:18:39. > :18:44.room, Morris reveals why he is selling. I'm over 80 now and we

:19:30. > :19:33.suspended for the next three games at least.
:19:34. > :19:38.He's got until 6pm tomorrow to reply to the charge.
:19:39. > :19:40.At least Birmingham are two points clear of relegation,
:19:41. > :19:45.which is more than can be said for Port Vale in League One.
:19:46. > :19:49.Yes, Vale have failed to score a single goal in their last five
:19:50. > :19:56.games which explains why they need a miracle to avoid relegation.
:19:57. > :20:00.Eddie Jackson and his wife Jean never miss a Port Vale game.
:20:01. > :20:13.Not quite. I'm the eternal pessimist but a couple of things in our
:20:14. > :20:18.favour. Walsall have only won one in the last eight of themselves and
:20:19. > :20:22.they can't go up or down so I think Paul Vale might be slightly more
:20:23. > :20:28.motivated than they are. But they are very poor team on rotten run.
:20:29. > :20:30.We've only won one away game so I'm not expecting us to do what we need

:21:28. > :21:32.60 thousand pounds for charity - 12 years ago, he tackled the route
:21:33. > :21:39.of the Tour de France. But he says this will be his
:21:40. > :21:42.toughest challenge yet. But for Mick the caffe lattes
:21:43. > :21:56.are about to become genuine. The maglia rosa
:21:57. > :21:58.or pink jersey is the clue. He's set the ride the route
:21:59. > :22:01.of the Giro D'italia at the age of 78 to raise money
:22:02. > :22:10.for four charities. You realise that people out there
:22:11. > :22:17.are not having a nice life and they might not have a long life. So I
:22:18. > :22:20.feel that if I can do something to help less fortunate, then I've
:22:21. > :22:23.achieved something, problem you more than I've ever achieved on the bike.
:22:24. > :22:25.But I use the bike a tool. Mick's from Bagington near Coventry
:22:26. > :22:28.and has been cycling 350 miles a week through rural
:22:29. > :22:30.Warwickshire for his training. Mick's an ex professional
:22:31. > :22:36.with 78 British titles to his name. In 2005 he rode the route
:22:37. > :22:38.of the Tour De France But the 3,400km of
:22:39. > :22:52.the Giro will be harder still. It's tough. At my age, it's almost
:22:53. > :22:56.impossible. I'm taking on a challenge which is huge.
:22:57. > :22:57.Everyone at the Pavilions cafe in Lighthorne
:22:58. > :23:08.It's very impressive. He's always the first in. What probably the
:23:09. > :23:19.oldest in the bunch but he's always the first one. Is this the last big
:23:20. > :23:22.challenge for you? My Mrs says yes but my heart at the moment says no.
:23:23. > :23:26.Mick will ride two days in front of the race itself.
:23:27. > :23:36.When was the last time you saw one of these?
:23:37. > :23:39.The number of watervoles are in sharp decline,
:23:40. > :23:41.so a project's under way to try and change that.
:23:42. > :23:45.As many as 90 per cent have been wiped out since its main predator,
:23:46. > :23:47.the American Mink, was released into the wild in the 1950s.
:23:48. > :23:51.But now work's under way to try and save them -
:23:52. > :23:55.In North Warwickshire the watervole population like many
:23:56. > :23:58.other places in the UK, has all but disappeared.
:23:59. > :24:02.They're falling prey to the American Mink
:24:03. > :24:04.and their plight made worse by human creations like this steel canal
:24:05. > :24:10.embankment which can trap voles in the water.
:24:11. > :24:16.But thanks to the work of volunteers the environment is being made safer.
:24:17. > :24:24.The Warwickshire wildlife trust are creating what they describe as
:24:25. > :24:29.Volmink tells along this stage of the canal. They allow the voles to
:24:30. > :24:31.climb out of the water and avoid the steel barrier.
:24:32. > :24:33.There's already evidence the watervoles are making use
:24:34. > :24:35.of the new facilities and similar projects previously
:24:36. > :24:47.I thought ten years ago that I would witness the extinction of water
:24:48. > :24:48.voles in Warwickshire. What happened is really nothing short of a
:24:49. > :24:50.miracle. And there's more good
:24:51. > :24:53.news for the watervoles, it seems the American mink itself
:24:54. > :25:04.is now subject to it's own predator, There is anecdotal evidence that
:25:05. > :25:09.with the resurgence of otters after banning pesticides in the 80s and
:25:10. > :25:16.90s, with otters coming back into pretty much all watercourses in
:25:17. > :25:20.Warwickshire, they out, beat the mink. We are seeing less mink
:25:21. > :25:23.around. This is potentially because of this rise in to numbers.
:25:24. > :25:25.The battle for the wilds has nearly cost Watervoles
:25:26. > :25:27.their existence in the UK, but surveys have confirmed
:25:28. > :25:29.they're on the increase in parts of Warwickshire,
:25:30. > :25:32.and with the help of more volunteers t's hoped the motels can be

:25:41. > :25:53.The hat is off, is that a good sign? It is. Snow one minute, sunshine the
:25:54. > :26:03.next. The hat was to stop my hair flopping around.
:26:04. > :26:06.out of the sky today - the clouds were threatening
:26:07. > :26:08.over in Shropshire Whereas some parts enjoyed
:26:09. > :26:12.But there were plenty of showers in between with reports of snow
:26:13. > :26:14.storms and more than just a dusting of it.
:26:15. > :26:17.I'm please to the say that the temperatures will begin
:26:18. > :26:22.to pick up after tomorrow although the picture's
:26:23. > :26:25.still fairly unsettled from the pressure chart you can see
:26:26. > :26:28.we're currently caught in between high pressure
:26:29. > :26:31.to the west and low to the east which is directing our winds
:26:32. > :26:34.in from a sheer northerly direction blasting in from the Arctic -
:26:35. > :26:41.and as we head into tonight - those showers continue to rattle
:26:42. > :26:44.on until they slowly begin to die out through the second half
:26:45. > :26:48.of the night when clearer skies begin to develop across western
:26:49. > :26:51.parts and temperatures tumble down to zero -
:26:52. > :27:01.but across Eastern parts at least - a different day tomorrow in that
:27:02. > :27:05.you'll be waking up to showers - quite a few of them -
:27:06. > :27:10.Sunnier and slightly drier further west.
:27:11. > :27:12.And temperatures - still no great shakes
:27:13. > :27:25.much drier tomorrow night but with a warm front arriving
:27:26. > :27:30.from the north through the course of Thursday - the temperatures
:27:31. > :27:36.will slowly recover but duller conditions with some
:27:37. > :27:45.That's all for now. I'll be back with the late news at 10:30pm. Have
:27:46. > :27:52.a good evening. Goodbye. Our crack team of experts
:27:53. > :28:01.use pioneering research ..to how to help your pet
:28:02. > :28:14.lose weight. but I was wondering if maybe you
:28:15. > :28:19.might fancy a drink?
