:00:35. > :00:36.Cadbury workers protesting back in 2009 against the Kraft takeover.
:00:37. > :00:41.Their main concern was the future of Bournville, a site that's made
:00:42. > :00:47.But far from winding it down the factory has just got
:00:48. > :00:52.a ?75 million boost with these ultra-modern production lines.
:00:53. > :00:57.It means that daily output at Bournville has now increased
:00:58. > :00:59.to over a million Creme Eggs, five million bars of chocolate

:01:54. > :01:56.we will be up there in the pecking order to try and gain some
:01:57. > :02:01.The changes have also left some buildings at Bournville empty and,
:02:02. > :02:03.according to Modelez, that could mean additional space
:02:04. > :02:06.for its highly popular chocolate attraction,
:02:07. > :02:11.Part of the Cadbury World attraction is an insight into manufacturing,
:02:12. > :02:16.and we want to make sure that's part of the experience in the long term

:04:15. > :04:17.the police have arrested a man in his 20s, thought to be from the
:04:18. > :04:19.local Winston green area, though they are stressing this is just one
:04:20. > :04:21.line of enquiry they are following. There are numerous lines
:04:22. > :04:24.of enquiries ongoing, and we still would like to speak
:04:25. > :04:27.to anybody that might have been in this area of Benson Road
:04:28. > :04:29.between four o'clock and five o'clock on Friday, or anyone that
:04:30. > :04:32.may have help for them identifying the individual
:04:33. > :04:43.that we've circulated. British Transport Police have
:04:44. > :04:48.released CCTV footage of a man they are keen to speak to. This
:04:49. > :04:52.afternoon, they were stopping motorists, passers-by, and talking
:04:53. > :04:55.to people using the metro network. Tonight, police are saying they
:04:56. > :04:59.still believe this was a random attack. They do not believe that

:05:02. > :05:03.Worcestershire's hospitals turned away more ambulances this winter

:05:06. > :05:08.the organisation closed its doors making it the second worst
:05:09. > :05:16.performing in the country. We do these things to make sure
:05:17. > :05:18.that patients are safe in the system, so we don't agree
:05:19. > :05:22.to diverts lightly. We are consulted when diverts
:05:23. > :05:26.are requested and, if we think it's unsafe for patients,
:05:27. > :05:31.we will raise that as a concern. A Birmingham mosque has been praised
:05:32. > :05:34.for its generosity after raising a record ?1.2 million to supply
:05:35. > :05:40.bread to starving Syrian refugees. An appeal was launched after staff
:05:41. > :05:43.from Green Lane Mosque in Small Heath travelled to refugee

:06:00. > :06:02.Worcester Warriors did pick up a much-needed bonus point
:06:03. > :06:05.in their fight against relegation. After the home side had
:06:06. > :06:08.taken an early lead, Francois Hougaard grabbed the first
:06:09. > :06:11.of four tries for Worcester, who have now opened up a ten-point
:06:12. > :06:15.advantage over the bottom club, In the other game, Gloucester have
:06:16. > :06:25.gone down 16-14 at Newcastle. I'll leave you now with
:06:26. > :06:30.the weather from Rebecca Wood. It's certainly been
:06:31. > :06:35.a pleasant day today. We started with some cloud,
:06:36. > :06:37.the sun desperately trying to break through,
:06:38. > :06:40.and it did for many spots. We got some glorious blue skies,
:06:41. > :06:44.with temperatures responding nicely. More of the same to come as we head
:06:45. > :06:47.through this weekend. Meanwhile, temperatures
:06:48. > :06:50.are going to fall away. It will be a chilly
:06:51. > :06:52.night for some spots. In some sheltered spots,
:06:53. > :06:54.we could see temperatures touching close to freezing,
:06:55. > :06:56.so we could get a bit of grass frost, particularly
:06:57. > :06:58.across parts of Herefordshire. Further inland, we should manage
:06:59. > :07:01.to stay up a little higher than that, but a chilly start
:07:02. > :07:04.for many tomorrow, but the high pressure has
:07:05. > :07:07.shifted ever so slightly. It starts to bring up much milder
:07:08. > :07:10.air through the day tomorrow, so it will be a fine and dry start
:07:11. > :07:13.to the day. We'll be left with lots of lovely

:07:19. > :07:23.the mid-to-high teens. There is more information on that
:07:24. > :07:27.in the national forecast. I'll leave you with an outlook
:07:28. > :07:34.for the next few days. Monday, and north-westerly wind will
