:00:36. > :00:36.Join me and the boxing girls to find out why they're film stars today.
:00:37. > :00:38.And temperatures in the twenties and lovely sunshine today,

:00:42. > :00:56.find out more with me a little later.
:00:57. > :01:00.With exactly four weeks to go until polling day,
:01:01. > :01:02.nominations have now closed for candidates standing
:01:03. > :01:09.So today was always going to be a big moment for those seats
:01:10. > :01:12.where there are slim majorities in the run-up to June the 8th.
:01:13. > :01:15.And that was even before the leak of Labour's draft manifesto.
:01:16. > :01:17.Our political editor Patrick Burns is here to survey
:01:18. > :01:20.Our part of the country has generally been much more
:01:21. > :01:22.of a two-party affair than most other areas of Britain,
:01:23. > :01:25.with our clusters of marginal seats, flip-flopping back and forth
:01:26. > :01:28.between Labour and the Conservatives.
:01:29. > :01:33.And there are so many of them, that they really do have a genuine

:01:37. > :01:39.A town with two marginal seats, one Conservative, the other Labour.

:02:17. > :02:18.With decent support for Labour, the Conservatives and Ukip in this
:02:19. > :02:21.area, it's no surprise the big hitters have been pounding
:02:22. > :02:32.Far from getting ready for the next politician to visit -
:02:33. > :02:35.Lyndon Corbett - just to clear it up, he's the Corbyn Road beekeeper

:02:38. > :02:39.Lyndon also runs a business providing home care to locals.
:02:40. > :02:42.It would be beneficial because we don't get paid
:02:43. > :02:45.Basically, when you're doing a 15-minute call
:02:46. > :02:47.for an old-age pensioner, you don't have enough time
:02:48. > :02:54.to communicate with them and that's what they need most of all.
:02:55. > :02:57.Retired shop worker Betty had a bee in her bonnet when I caught up
:02:58. > :03:02.What would you like the next Government to do for you?
:03:03. > :03:04.Well, I'd like them to put this country straight.

:03:56. > :04:00.Even the psychics sitting on the fence!
:04:01. > :04:02.Patrick, you've just said our local marginal seats
:04:03. > :04:07.And yet you're telling us that this will be an election like no other.
:04:08. > :04:15.Instead of just taking the poll ratings and applying them
:04:16. > :04:17.to the swings required in the familiar Nuneatons,
:04:18. > :04:19.Tamworths and Cannocks of this World, you have to view it
:04:20. > :04:22.through the prism of Brexit, in a region where most voters

:04:28. > :04:31.currently held by Labour, a boost for the Conservatives there.
:04:32. > :04:33.Three of Labour's other Birmingham seats could also be vulnerable
:04:34. > :04:35.to Conservative challenges, including Edgbaston, where
:04:36. > :04:42.On the other hand Labour will have Telford in their sites.

:04:55. > :04:57.Stoke, Wolverhampton and Coventry are solid blocks of red

:12:49. > :12:51.fee. The big chain restaurants
:12:52. > :12:53.behind me don't do that But at many smaller places,
:12:54. > :12:56.if people don't show, then they stand to lose

:13:42. > :13:44.today, most seem to I can understand their point of view
:13:45. > :13:52.and I can understand their position, but they could lose trade
:13:53. > :13:54.because we're not used to it I think that's fair enough if it's
:13:55. > :14:01.a small restaurant and you don't If it's a big chain
:14:02. > :14:07.that was proposing to do this, I think I'd probably
:14:08. > :14:09.have the opposite opinion. Well, joining me here Birmingham
:14:10. > :14:19.food blogger, Laura Creaven. I think it's a really positive move.
:14:20. > :14:24.I think the Wilderness have been very vocal about their cancellations
:14:25. > :14:26.and no shows and it's a problem affecting a lot of smaller
:14:27. > :14:31.restaurants in Birmingham, smaller ones can't handle people not showing
:14:32. > :14:34.up because it has lost revenue. It's not really different from a
:14:35. > :14:39.cancellation charge if you feel to cancel in time. Absolutely not. It's
:14:40. > :14:43.similar to what you would do if you are looking to go to the cinema or
:14:44. > :14:48.the future, he would be expected to pay upfront. you think it will put
:14:49. > :14:52.people off? I don't think it will put people off, I think people who

:14:55. > :15:01.front and considered it an investment into an exciting night.
:15:02. > :15:05.Some say they make even charge a fee for the cheapest four course meal so
:15:06. > :15:08.you're paying for the wholemeal upfront. That's similar to what you
:15:09. > :15:12.would do if you are going to the theatre for the cinema, you would
:15:13. > :15:17.pay upfront for that's why not do it for your dinner? I was Birmingham

:15:22. > :15:27.street food and a Michelin star restaurants, it's an exciting time
:15:28. > :15:30.for dining out in Birmingham. as Lorna said, they do tend to pay

:16:33. > :16:34.of the Birmingham Community The idea is also to make the sport
:16:35. > :16:41.cheaper and accessible. What I thought I'll do different
:16:42. > :16:44.is provide the football pitches so we've got a local area so we sort

:23:25. > :23:26.shoots again and again. How easy we all just fell
:23:27. > :23:32.into it and went with it. It was really good, we had
:23:33. > :23:36.a good time, really good. Judge for yourselves
:23:37. > :23:38.when the best images from today's shoot hit our television
:23:39. > :23:55.screens next month. We'll have the weather in just a
:23:56. > :24:02.moment, but look at this. This was yesterday afternoon in Shropshire.
:24:03. > :24:06.The nationwide plant hire company have a large dusty yard and this is
:24:07. > :24:14.what is known as the dust tornado or dust devil. Thank you to Stewart for
:24:15. > :24:15.sending us those pictures. Very dry in Shropshire but I'm told it will
:24:16. > :24:24.not stay that way tomorrow. Rebecca. Changes on the way but it has been
:24:25. > :24:28.pleasant today. The wind has picked up so it may be windy through
:24:29. > :24:31.tonight but it was a break but chilly start to the day today,
:24:32. > :24:35.temperatures touching freezing in parts of Shropshire but helped by
:24:36. > :24:40.sunshine through the day. We saw the temperatures rise by 20 Celsius in
:24:41. > :24:43.some spots. Lovely sunshine but through the afternoon, we started to
:24:44. > :24:47.see the cloud filtering in, making the sunshine here at times and
:24:48. > :24:54.finally, for the Gardners, something to give them a sky of relief, we
:24:55. > :24:58.started to see rain pushing in. Heavy downpours and lightning
:24:59. > :25:01.flashes in there as well. As for tomorrow, we're going to continue to
:25:02. > :25:05.see the chance of some showers but they will be some sunny spells
:25:06. > :25:09.around those as well. For tonight, high pressure that has been driving
:25:10. > :25:13.our weather for the past few weeks has skidded out of the way. We got
:25:14. > :25:17.low controlling the weather and that is going to start to introduce
:25:18. > :25:20.something more unsettled so through tonight, we're going to see some
:25:21. > :25:24.showers working there way northwards and those showers are going to
:25:25. > :25:34.introduce something a little bit muddier overnight so temperatures
:25:35. > :25:41.are at ten to 13 -- more muggy. We will get some brighter breaks. More
:25:42. > :25:46.cloud and showers following behind but the showers will be triggered by
:25:47. > :25:50.that unstable atmosphere. The cloud might have hail and thunder in there
:25:51. > :25:53.and temperatures will be down on where they are today but by the end
:25:54. > :25:56.of the day they will ease as we lose the powder from the sun and we will
:25:57. > :26:05.see them dying out overnight but it will be another muggy Knight. As for
:26:06. > :26:13.Saturday, a drier affair with the odd shower around. It is definitely
:26:14. > :26:18.some rain in the forecast. It's good news for the Gardners but if you
:26:19. > :26:21.like the sunshine you will have to wait a little bit.
:26:22. > :26:25.I'll be back at 10:30 with your late update.
