It's feared thousands of fish may have been killed | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
after chemicals were found in the River Morda, near Oswestry. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
The water company, United Utilities, say there's been an issue | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
at its nearby water treatment works and is investigating. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
It may look beautiful in the winter sun, but last night local people | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
were sickened to see hundreds of fish gasping | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Acid from a nearby water treatment works flowed into the Morda, | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
Staff at Western Pools Fishery witnessed the river | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
They fear it'll take years for the habitat to recover. | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
The river was white and there was evidence of dead and dying fish. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
The length of time it's taken to build up this system, | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
plus four or five generations of trout | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
which spawned after the original, all wiped out. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
By this afternoon, the dead fish had been washed downstream after water | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
levels were raised to flush the pollution out. | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
The Environment Agency has launched an investigation and is working | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
There's acid that has gone into this river. | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
Even for our staff that are working here today | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
and the work that we're doing, we have to be exceptionally | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
I advise people to keep their pets, themselves out of the water and, | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
where possible, keep livestock out of the water | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
Fortunately, the pollution doesn't appear to have got | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
But the owners fear it'll be a long time before the River Morda is once | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
As Donald Trump settles into his new life in the White House, | :01:40. | :01:50. | |
it's not just in America that his Presidential inauguration | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
Here in the Midlands opinion is equally divided, | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
As Donald Trump became the 45th president of the | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
a peaceful protest had taken place in the unlikely setting | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
of historic Ironbridge - birthplace of the | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
It was one of a hundred such demonstations by | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
I think there's a lot of suspicion and fear, | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
Trump is, from his personality, a president which we have | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
never experienced before and we don't actually know. | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
In the summer, Ironbridge is packed with tourists and today's winter | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
sunshine brought out the visitors too, all with views | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
I have my doubts about whether he's wired up right. | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
Some of the things he says are excellent, but some | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
of the other things, I think he's just gone | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
My view is to give him a bit of time and just see how it goes. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
Many experts say Pennsylvania was the state that swung it | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
for Trump, an area suffering from a decline in industry. | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
It's where mum of two Cathy Wardius is from. | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
I think, like most Americans, we're apprehneisve because we don't | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
know what the next four years are going to bring. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
But then, like I said, I know a lot of really good hard | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
working people who had voted for him, who are optimistic. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
I wonder how they're feeling at the White House right now. | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
I think it's the most scariest thing that I've ever heard of. | :03:25. | :03:33. | |
I think if anybody's going to push the button, he's going to be the one | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
He may have his sceptics, but President Trump gave this message: | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Together, we will make America great again. | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
The date has been announced for the Stoke-on-Trent | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
The vacancy has been created by Tristram Hunt's | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
resignation to become Director of London's Victoria | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
Voters will go to the polls on the 23rd of February. | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
So called Shared Spaces, where roads have their markings | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
and kerbs removed, are now a common sight | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
They're designed to make drivers more cautious, | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
but can also make life difficult for blind people. | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Here's our transport correspondent Peter Plisner. | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
Charlotte Nickson and guide dog Layla navigating their way | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
But for them, shared space doesn't make things very easy. | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
This is where she's stops for this crossing. | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
Here Layla gets confused because there's no kerbs and waits | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
for instruction from Charlotte. | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
And it's not just Layla who doesn't understand the layout. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
When we filmed, there were cars and other vehicles everywhere, | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
even on what was supposed to be the pavement. | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
They make it harder for me to get to work, and that's just not fair. | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
They make it impossible for a lot of my blind friends to come | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
and visit me and if they do, we have to make sure | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
there is a sighted person there to help us at all times. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
As you get to this side, Peter, it doesn't lead to anywhere. | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
Sarah Gayton from Staffordshrie campaigns on behalf of the blind | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
and partially sighted and she maintains that shared | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
Today, Sarah and others had the chance to speak directly | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
to MPs on the Women and Equalities Select Committee | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
as it held an outreach meeting in Birmingham. | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
The committee is currently investigating the build environment | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
You can read all the papers you like, but until you have the people | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
sat in front of you telling you exactly how it feels to not be | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
able to move around their city centre or that they can't get | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
a house that's suitable for them to live in, | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
you don't really get the human feeling of it. | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
Coventry City Council maintains that its shared space is safe | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
and that schemes developed in consultation with | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
But despite concerns of some, the use of shared space is growing | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
Football and one big transfer completed this evening - | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
Stoke City have signed Sido Berahino from West Bromwich | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
The fee for the 23-year-old striker could eventually rise to 15 million. | :06:07. | :06:15. | |
And one result tonight in League One - Port Vale have | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
I'll leave you with the weather from Rebecca Wood. | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
It has been a pleasant day today, right the way across the board | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
we had gorgeous sunshine and clear blue skies. | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
As we head through this weekend, more of the same to come. | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
There will be sunny spells, variable amounts of cloud, | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
but it is also feeling very chilly out there and that's because we're | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
It is going to be a cold night tonight | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
Temperatures plummeting, we're looking at them dipping down | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
widely right the way across the board into minus figures. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
We cuold see them getting a touch lower than -5 in some | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
We could also get a little bit of freezing fog. | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
As we start the day tomorrow with high pressure and very little | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
We could see that fog lingering through the day. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
It'll be a chilly start with a widespread frost, | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
and there's going to be some sunshine through the day. | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
We start to get cloud filtering in for a time, | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
but it should be largely dry and bright with temperatures ranging | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
More information on all of that in the national forecast next. | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
I'll leave you with an outlook for the next few days. | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
there isn't that much around it will feel cooler. Can we keep it going | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
until the start of the new week? I suspect we can. Unconfirmed about -- | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
concerned about the fog around. Here is Helen with the national picture. | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
Good evening. The weather is upon us. The cloud has made all the | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
difference this week in particular. We have had some wonderful weather | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
watcher pictures, this is Marlowe in Buckinghamshire, this was Conwy | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
earlier in the day. Some areas still have the cloud. What | :08:01. | :08:02. |
