Hello and welcome to Midlands Today. so it's goodbye from me -

:00:00.:00:00.

The headlines tonight: Countdown to June eighth

:00:00.:00:07.

With four weeks to go until the general election, we are in Dudley,

:00:08.:00:15.

gauging the public mood. Also tonight: Celebrating the best

:00:16.:00:17.

of the great outdoors: Join me later at the foot of the

:00:18.:00:28.

Malvern Hills at what is firmly the best spring gardening in Britain.

:00:29.:00:35.

Join me and the boxing girls to find out why they're film stars today.

:00:36.:00:36.

And temperatures in the twenties and lovely sunshine today,

:00:37.:00:38.

but the gardens need a drink, and it's on the way,

:00:39.:00:41.

find out more with me a little later.

:00:42.:00:56.

With exactly four weeks to go until polling day,

:00:57.:01:00.

nominations have now closed for candidates standing

:01:01.:01:02.

So today was always going to be a big moment for those seats

:01:03.:01:09.

where there are slim majorities in the run-up to June the 8th.

:01:10.:01:12.

And that was even before the leak of Labour's draft manifesto.

:01:13.:01:15.

Our political editor Patrick Burns is here to survey

:01:16.:01:17.

Our part of the country has generally been much more

:01:18.:01:20.

of a two-party affair than most other areas of Britain,

:01:21.:01:22.

with our clusters of marginal seats, flip-flopping back and forth

:01:23.:01:25.

between Labour and the Conservatives.

:01:26.:01:28.

And there are so many of them, that they really do have a genuine

:01:29.:01:33.

There's no clearer demonstration of this than Dudley.

:01:34.:01:36.

A town with two marginal seats, one Conservative, the other Labour.

:01:37.:01:39.

And it's from there that Ben Godfrey reports.

:01:40.:01:44.

It's a beautiful day in Dudley North, a seat held by

:01:45.:01:47.

Labour since its creation in 1987 but high on the

:01:48.:01:49.

We've come to, yes, Corbyn Road to see what people are thinking.

:01:50.:01:57.

First we met Mandy Yerster, an undecided voter who wants

:01:58.:01:59.

the next Government to champion social care.

:02:00.:02:04.

Giving single parents a little bit more leeway, childcare,

:02:05.:02:08.

because my son is autistic, a little bit help with regards

:02:09.:02:10.

I haven't really heard anything yet as regards to social care.

:02:11.:02:16.

With decent support for Labour, the Conservatives and Ukip in this

:02:17.:02:18.

area, it's no surprise the big hitters have been pounding

:02:19.:02:21.

Far from getting ready for the next politician to visit -

:02:22.:02:32.

Lyndon Corbett - just to clear it up, he's the Corbyn Road beekeeper

:02:33.:02:35.

would welcome a ban on zero hours contract hours.

:02:36.:02:37.

Lyndon also runs a business providing home care to locals.

:02:38.:02:39.

It would be beneficial because we don't get paid

:02:40.:02:42.

Basically, when you're doing a 15-minute call

:02:43.:02:45.

for an old-age pensioner, you don't have enough time

:02:46.:02:47.

to communicate with them and that's what they need most of all.

:02:48.:02:54.

Retired shop worker Betty had a bee in her bonnet when I caught up

:02:55.:02:57.

What would you like the next Government to do for you?

:02:58.:03:02.

Well, I'd like them to put this country straight.

:03:03.:03:04.

There is a lot of men in London, they aren't in the real world.

:03:05.:03:10.

The are in cuckoo land and my bus is here and I'm off.

:03:11.:03:13.

At the barbershop nearby, we met one young businessman

:03:14.:03:21.

Definitely with the NHS, I think they should plough

:03:22.:03:24.

Policing, any of the public services.

:03:25.:03:31.

Some polling experts suggest Dudley North may turn blue

:03:32.:03:36.

in fours weeks' time, but on on Corbyn Road we found many

:03:37.:03:40.

We went back to Mandy's house, she makes a living as a psychic.

:03:41.:03:44.

Who's going to win the general election?

:03:45.:03:45.

That's for me to know and you not to!

:03:46.:03:55.

Even the psychics sitting on the fence!

:03:56.:04:00.

Patrick, you've just said our local marginal seats

:04:01.:04:02.

And yet you're telling us that this will be an election like no other.

:04:03.:04:07.

Instead of just taking the poll ratings and applying them

:04:08.:04:15.

to the swings required in the familiar Nuneatons,

:04:16.:04:17.

Tamworths and Cannocks of this World, you have to view it

:04:18.:04:19.

through the prism of Brexit, in a region where most voters

:04:20.:04:22.

But now Ukip aren't standing in three North Birmingham seats

:04:23.:04:27.

currently held by Labour, a boost for the Conservatives there.

:04:28.:04:31.

Three of Labour's other Birmingham seats could also be vulnerable

:04:32.:04:33.

to Conservative challenges, including Edgbaston, where

:04:34.:04:35.

On the other hand Labour will have Telford in their sites.

:04:36.:04:42.

They need a swing against the Conservatives of

:04:43.:04:46.

The "front line" does appear to be shifting in other cities too.

:04:47.:04:54.

Stoke, Wolverhampton and Coventry are solid blocks of red

:04:55.:04:57.

But Labour face serious Conservative challenges in Stoke South,

:04:58.:05:07.

All places where Vote Leave won big last June, so expect Brexit to loom

:05:08.:05:10.

The Lib Dems' prime target here is Cheltenham.

:05:11.:05:16.

They need a 12% swing to win it back from the Conservatives.

:05:17.:05:21.

They have a strong anti-Brexit message in a town which voted

:05:22.:05:23.

But with a month to go, there's ample time for some

:05:24.:05:27.

unexpected twists turns before polling day.

:05:28.:05:31.

Drayton Manor Park in Staffordshire will be closed again

:05:32.:05:33.

tomorrow following the death of a schoolgirl from Leicester.

:05:34.:05:36.

11-year-old Eva Janneth was on the Splash Canyon Rapids

:05:37.:05:38.

on Tuesday when she fell into the water.

:05:39.:05:40.

The park closed yesterday as a mark of respect and remained closed today

:05:41.:05:43.

so health and safety officials can complete their investigations.

:05:44.:05:50.

Sarah Bishop is at the park for us this evening.

:05:51.:05:53.

Sarah, a number of other theme parks have closed their water

:05:54.:05:55.

rides since Eva's death, including Alton Towers

:05:56.:05:59.

and Thorpe Park, do we know any more about how safe these rides are?

:06:00.:06:07.

I've been speaking to a theme park safety expert

:06:08.:06:14.

who told me these water rides are generally perceived as pretty

:06:15.:06:17.

safe, come under same safety law as roller coasters and are subject

:06:18.:06:20.

to same strict maintenance and fatigue checks.

:06:21.:06:23.

He'd done some calculations on Drayton Manor ride,

:06:24.:06:25.

which he reckoned been used by between 20 and 30 million people

:06:26.:06:28.

He only found one documented incident of someone

:06:29.:06:35.

But that doesn't account for how people act when they're on the ride.

:06:36.:06:48.

There is speculation that Eva may have stood up to switch seats.

:06:49.:07:00.

her death is the first serious injury accidents here at Drayton

:07:01.:07:08.

Manor in its 67 year history. Have Eva's family said any more? We had a

:07:09.:07:14.

heart wrenching statement from them yesterday in which they said their

:07:15.:07:23.

world had been torn apart. They have asked to be left alone to grieve in

:07:24.:07:29.

private. The postmortem takes place on Monday and we are thinking they

:07:30.:07:32.

will have the funeral midweek in Leicester.

:07:33.:07:40.

Think they're anticipating many people will want to come

:07:41.:07:42.

and pay their respects as tragic circumstances of Eva's death

:07:43.:07:44.

In the last laugh, we've had a statement from the park saying it

:07:45.:07:51.

will be closed again tomorrow well investigations continue. -- in the

last hour. A man's been charged

with using drones to fly drugs and mobile phones

secured by West Midlands Police. Drones were allegedly used to drop

working on the beaches Undoubtedly, the sunshine I had then

:09:54.:09:58.

is instrumental in melanoma that I would urge people to cover up

:09:59.:10:06.

because that's easier than putting on sun block and having

to reapply it. Doctors say it's vital

:10:17.:10:18.

for us to apply sun cream BEFORE we go in the sun,

:10:19.:10:25.

and that's because we all have a different burning threshold -

when our skin starts to turn pink. Sunscreen helps to combat the sun's

up and instead cover up. It's got more Michelin-starred

:11:54.:12:11.

restaurants than any other place outside London -

:12:12.:12:15.

hardly surprising then that so many people are opting to sample

:12:16.:12:22.

Birmingham's culinary delights. But one restaurant says it's

:12:23.:12:24.

losing thousands of pounds because people aren't showing up

:12:25.:12:26.

despite booking a table. But is it right for

:12:27.:12:28.

restaurateurs to get tough? Our business correspondent

:12:29.:12:30.

Peter Plisner's been getting Birmingham is home to 5

:12:31.:12:32.

Michelin-starred restaurants. As a rule they tend to take your

:12:33.:12:41.

card details when you book. They can charge a hefty cancellation

:12:42.:12:48.

fee. The big chain restaurants

:12:49.:12:51.

behind me don't do that But at many smaller places,

:12:52.:12:53.

if people don't show, then they stand to lose

:12:54.:12:56.

a lot of money. An increasingly popular

:12:57.:12:59.

restaurant close to Birmingham's New Street Station,

:13:00.:13:03.

it's reckoned that last week alone they lost ?1,000

:13:04.:13:05.

because of no shows. Its head chef says

:13:06.:13:11.

that's not sustainable. It varies week to week,

:13:12.:13:15.

there are no hard or fast rules but to give you an idea,

:13:16.:13:24.

we have 24 seats, so if one table of two decides not to show,

:13:25.:13:27.

that's almost 10% of our I have five chefs with me

:13:28.:13:30.

in the kitchen, I have five people out in front,

:13:31.:13:34.

it's a fine balancing act and it has Now it may seem like a pretty

:13:35.:13:37.

controversial step to take, but speaking to people earlier

:13:38.:13:41.

today, most seem to I can understand their point of view

:13:42.:13:44.

and I can understand their position, but they could lose trade

:13:45.:13:52.

because we're not used to it I think that's fair enough if it's

:13:53.:13:54.

a small restaurant and you don't If it's a big chain

:13:55.:14:01.

that was proposing to do this, I think I'd probably

:14:02.:14:07.

have the opposite opinion. Well, joining me here Birmingham

:14:08.:14:09.

food blogger, Laura Creaven. I think it's a really positive move.

:14:10.:14:19.

I think the Wilderness have been very vocal about their cancellations

:14:20.:14:24.

and no shows and it's a problem affecting a lot of smaller

:14:25.:14:26.

restaurants in Birmingham, smaller ones can't handle people not showing

:14:27.:14:31.

up because it has lost revenue. It's not really different from a

:14:32.:14:34.

cancellation charge if you feel to cancel in time. Absolutely not. It's

:14:35.:14:39.

similar to what you would do if you are looking to go to the cinema or

want to go to exciting restaurants like the Wilderness will pay up

:14:55.:15:01.

Some say they make even charge a fee for the cheapest four course meal so

:15:02.:15:05.

you're paying for the wholemeal upfront. That's similar to what you

:15:06.:15:08.

would do if you are going to the theatre for the cinema, you would

:15:09.:15:12.

pay upfront for that's why not do it for your dinner? I was Birmingham

:15:13.:15:17.

doing for the food front? It's a positive, vibrant scene, especially

:15:18.:15:21.

street food and a Michelin star restaurants, it's an exciting time

:15:22.:15:27.

for dining out in Birmingham. as Lorna said, they do tend to pay

:15:28.:15:30.

upfront for many things these days, so why not a meal at a restaurant?

:15:31.:15:33.

Ben Sidwell's not gone quite as far as that,

:18:36.:18:37.

but he did make it to Malvern on the trail of plant history.

:18:38.:18:45.

Yes, welcome to the plant finder parlour. This is at the IHS -- RHS

:18:46.:18:58.

at Malvern. 19th century explorers would have returned with exotic

:18:59.:19:01.

species like these ferns which they were very excited about. As I been

:19:02.:19:05.

finding out, many of these plants are now commonplace in all our

:19:06.:19:06.

gardens. In the shadow of the Malvern Hills,

:19:07.:19:11.

some of the greatest flora and fauna the world has two offer and for

:19:12.:19:17.

this, we need to thank the Victorians which is what they're

:19:18.:19:21.

doing this year at RHS Spring Festival. At the heart of the floral

:19:22.:19:24.

marquee is the plant finder's parlour, designed by Joe Swift. It

:19:25.:19:34.

is important to the intrepid explorers who search the world of

:19:35.:19:39.

exotic plants. They would search for months on end, some of them would

:19:40.:19:42.

never come back, someone come back with broken legs and they would go

:19:43.:19:48.

in search for clients and bring them back in Edwardian cases because they

:19:49.:19:50.

couldn't figure out how to get the plans back. you don't have to go far

:19:51.:19:54.

to find species Victorians brought back far shores. These carnivorous

plants are from Malaysia and Indonesia. It was brought on by the

:20:01.:20:04.

Victorians and remains in cultivation today so that wasn't for

:20:05.:20:08.

the plant hunters, they wouldn't be in conservation. There was one type

:20:09.:20:12.

of plant that surprisingly got the Victorians more excited than any

:20:13.:20:16.

other. Now grown in abundance in Warwickshire, in the 19th century

:20:17.:20:22.

can get enough of ferns -- couldn't get enough. There was a period known

:20:23.:20:27.

as fair and fever and they went mad for building little got was like

moment, but look at this. This was yesterday afternoon in Shropshire.

The nationwide plant hire company have a large dusty yard and this is

what is known as the dust tornado or dust devil. Thank you to Stewart for

sending us those pictures. Very dry in Shropshire but I'm told it will

:24:15.:24:15.

not stay that way tomorrow. Rebecca. Changes on the way but it has been

:24:16.:24:24.

pleasant today. The wind has picked up so it may be windy through

:24:25.:24:28.

tonight but it was a break but chilly start to the day today,

:24:29.:24:31.

temperatures touching freezing in parts of Shropshire but helped by

:24:32.:24:35.

sunshine through the day. We saw the temperatures rise by 20 Celsius in

:24:36.:24:40.

some spots. Lovely sunshine but through the afternoon, we started to

:24:41.:24:43.

see the cloud filtering in, making the sunshine here at times and

:24:44.:24:47.

finally, for the Gardners, something to give them a sky of relief, we

:24:48.:24:54.

started to see rain pushing in. Heavy downpours and lightning

:24:55.:24:58.

flashes in there as well. As for tomorrow, we're going to continue to

:24:59.:25:01.

see the chance of some showers but they will be some sunny spells

:25:02.:25:05.

around those as well. For tonight, high pressure that has been driving

:25:06.:25:09.

our weather for the past few weeks has skidded out of the way. We got

:25:10.:25:13.

low controlling the weather and that is going to start to introduce

:25:14.:25:17.

something more unsettled so through tonight, we're going to see some

:25:18.:25:20.

showers working there way northwards and those showers are going to

:25:21.:25:24.

introduce something a little bit muddier overnight so temperatures

:25:25.:25:34.

are at ten to 13 -- more muggy. We will get some brighter breaks. More

:25:35.:25:41.

cloud and showers following behind but the showers will be triggered by

:25:42.:25:46.

that unstable atmosphere. The cloud might have hail and thunder in there

:25:47.:25:50.

and temperatures will be down on where they are today but by the end

:25:51.:25:53.

of the day they will ease as we lose the powder from the sun and we will

:25:54.:25:56.

see them dying out overnight but it will be another muggy Knight. As for

:25:57.:26:05.

Saturday, a drier affair with the odd shower around. It is definitely

:26:06.:26:13.

some rain in the forecast. It's good news for the Gardners but if you

:26:14.:26:18.

like the sunshine you will have to wait a little bit.

:26:19.:26:21.

I'll be back at 10:30 with your late update.
