Good evening. inquiry. Join me now on | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
The government's been accusdd of fobbing off the families | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
of those killed in the Birmhngham pub bombings in 1974. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Tomorrow is the deadline for submissions about | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
what should be considered as part of the fresh inquests into | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
the 21 people who died, but it's still not clear what help | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
- if any - their relatives will get with their legal bills. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
Our reporter Giles Latcham has been following the families' campaign. | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
So what has or hasn't been offered, and to whom? | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
Eight of them are with one firm of lawyers, KRW in Belfast `nd that | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
group includes the Hambletons, sister and brother | :00:47. | :00:55. | |
of Maxine Hambleton, killed in the Tavern In The Town in 19 4. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Last night they got an award at a London theatre | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
What they haven't got is any funding. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
The Legal Aid Agency says they can't fund them | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
because they don't have contracts with law firms | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
Another family is with a Liverpool firm of lawyers. | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
I understand they've been offered just one month's funding - to take | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
That family are very disappointed - the families as a whole consider | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
They are treating us as second class citizens. | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
of the Human Rights Article six act, which | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
is the right to a fair hearhng, because the rates are so low | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
that it would make KRW and the Liverpool company b`nkrupt. | :01:36. | :01:45. | |
The deadline is very close now. Where does this go from herd? It is | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
going to get more and more political. I was a debate in the | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
Commons last night with manx Birmingham MPs attending. They will | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
put pressure on the Justice Secretary now. The Justice Linister | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
last night said that the government supports the principle of ftnding. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
The family should be represdnted, if the case requires | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
it, and that's the system that we are trying to creatd. | :02:12. | :02:19. | |
The timescale for these inqtests will now probably slip. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Almost ?20 million is being spent on weirs along the River Severn | :02:23. | :02:34. | |
It's being hailed as the most exciting river project in Etrope. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
It'll mean that protected species that haven't been able to gdt | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
upstream to breed will now be able to flourish. | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
At 220 miles long, it is Britain's longest rivdr. | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
150 years ago, the River Severn used to be full of these. | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
They are called shad, and they are like herring. | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
They used to run as far up as Welshpool, | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
Now they have dwindled, not to extinction, but not far off. | :03:03. | :03:15. | |
Weirs like this at Worcesters are the reason for the declhne. | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
In the biggest project of its kind in Europe, | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
gates are being constructed in the weirs to allow the shad | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
How can you be sure that thd fish will come upstream and breed? | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
They did before the passes were built anyway, | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
but by pure instinct we know that they will return. | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
Research on other rivers where we have done similar projects | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
the fish know what they havd got to go and find a way. | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
So the fish know where they are heading. | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
The hope is that people will be able to walk along this path, | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
up to the weir, alongside the new fish pass and then | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
into an underground chamber, a natural aquarium, | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
where they will be able to see the shad, salmon and eels | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
The water quality is the best it has been for years. | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
Largely as a result of workhng with big industry, | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
sewage works and that kind of stuff, | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
the quality of stuff that goes into the river is excellent now | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
There is even talk of a Shad Fest, a homecoming party | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
for this old species, said to be a favourite of Hdnry III. | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
But does anyone know what is they are? | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
I would guess it is a big to do with a shadow? | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
A man's been arrested at Birmingham Airport | :04:34. | :04:51. | |
The 32-year-old from Coventry was detained | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
by officers from the West Mhdlands Counter-Terrorism Unit | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
A new report has found that Birmingham Prison is struggling | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
to cope with the behaviour of inmates | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
who are taking new psychoactive drugs. | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
The Independent Monitoring Board found the drugs | :05:06. | :05:06. | |
are creating a climate of fdar and bullying amongst prisondrs. | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
It also warns that staff shortages are making it increasingly difficult | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
Hereford's MP, Jesse Norman, has claimed that the Trust running | :05:14. | :05:23. | |
Herefordshire's hospitals is at risk of being taken over | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
by another hospital nearly 70 miles aw`y. | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
There've been suggestions that Hereford County Hospital will merge | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
with another hospital for some time, but Jesse Norman fears a de`l with | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
South Warwickshire Foundation Trust is being rushed through. | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
It should not be done with no consultation. | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
There's got to be a focus on patient well-being and on the long-term | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
security and well-being of health care in Herefordshire, | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
The hospitals haven't commented but | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
NHS Improvement said that Hereford County is getting better. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
It's working with the trust's Board on how best to make sure | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
it gets the support it needs to continue improving | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
and what can be done to ensure | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
the long-term future of the services. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
Kashmiris from the region have taken part | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
outside the Indian High Commission in London. | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
The Himalayan region has bedn disputed since 1947, | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
which has led to wars between India and Pakistan. | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
Campaigners from Birmingham, Walsall and Wolverhampton | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
joined other Kashmiris from across the UK in the protest. | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
We'll be handing a memorandtm, signed, to the Indian government, | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
that they should end their occupation and stop killing and | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
torturing people, because at the end of the day, this issue has to be | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
resolved by dialogue, so India has to come | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
to the negotiating table and | :06:44. | :06:44. | |
have a dialogue with the Kashmiri people. | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
And end the suffering of thd Kashmiri people. | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
The Ricoh Arena in Coventry is on a shortlist of venues to stage | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
matches when England hosts the Rugby League World Cup hn 2 21. | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
It was announced this morning that England had beaten America | :06:58. | :07:00. | |

of rugby league matches next weekend in the Four Nations tournamdnt. | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
The American track and field team is set to return to Birmingham | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
ahead of next summer's World Athletics Championships in London. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
The US and Jamaica used the city as a training base | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
ahead of the 2012 Olympics, and the Americans are close | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
to signing a deal to come back next year. | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
This is no ordinary tourist getting a tour of the landmass. He's a | :07:27. | :07:43. | |
and field team. His finalishng plans and field team. His finalishng plans | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
ahead of the World Championships next summer. Look at the facility | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
for output purposes and get the contracts signed and get re`dy for | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
the World Championships. I `m excited for you folks. This is a | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
nice place to be. We are bidding to host the 2026 world Commonwdalth | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
Games and it can't do any h`rm to demonstrate to major sporting teams, | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
one of whom is a Commonwealth nation, that we have the facilities | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
and the ability to host nathons for sporting events. We been here | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
before, with the Americans `nd Jamaicans using Birmingham `s their | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
base ahead of the London 2002 Olympic. The Americans trained at | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
the Alexander Stadium and included this discus thrower, who will be | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
glad to come back. It was vdry warm and welcoming. The beauty of the | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
sport is it doesn't matter where you're from. It is just the | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
appreciation of athletics. Ht is not just sporting prestige. The | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
Americans came here and it brought ?1 billion of benefit to thd city. | :08:52. | :09:06. | |
Six army reservists from Birmingham and Hereford have set off | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
on a hazardous expedition to reach the centre of the South Pold. The | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
six, known as Spear 17, are seen here | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
Henry was trying to do a solo, again, which is a very | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
Six army reservists from Birmingham and Hereford have set off | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
on a hazardous expedition to reach the centre of the South Pold. The | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
six, known as Spear 17, are seen here | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
They're following in the footsteps of British Army officer | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
Henry Wordsley, who died attempting the same feat earlier this xear | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
Henry was trying to do a solo, again, which is a very | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
He was trying to do it unsupported with no form of outside | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
The fact that we are a six-lan team, we have been training for two years, | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
and preparing for this, and we will take one resupply | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
at the South Pole as well, so I believe we have mitigated | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
And that's almost all from the late team. | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
I'll leave you now with the weather from Rebecca. | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
Good evening. Today was verx similar to yesterday. Temperatures hovering | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
around the mid teens. Perhaps not as high as yesterday but a ple`sant end | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
quite lost but as we head through quite lost but as we head through | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
the next few days very little is changing. It is going to be wide a | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
cloudy day and it will be mostly dry. We have got a slight change to | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
come, though. High pressure sitting over the bulk of us but we have this | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
cold front and it could squdeze out the odd spot of drizzle. We start to | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
see that thinking it's way southwards as we head through the | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
overnight period. Further south we will keep clear skies and wd | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
shouldn't see any mist and fog. Temperatures ranging between ten and | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
12 Celsius. They fuse box of drizzle working their way down -- a few | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
spots of drizzle working thdir way down. In the sunshine tomorrow | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
temperatures could again put up to a possible 16, 17, maybe 18 Cdlsius | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
somewhere. Further north whdre we keep the crowd from the cold front | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
it will be lower than that `nd the cold front will make things feel | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
cooler too. I will leave yot with an outlook for the next few daxs. Good | :11:01. | :11:01. | |
night. fine and dry and on the mild side. | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
My colleague Helen Willetts has with the national picture. | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
Good evening. The dry October weather is set to continue into the | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
weekend. It's been kind if you've been on half term. Not that I'm | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
promising this sort of weather for all. Isn't it lovely, taken on the | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
Isle of Wight. Our top temperature was 17 Celsius, not too far away. | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
What a | :11:28. | :11:29. |
