The headlines this lunchtime: Police launch a murder inquiry | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
after a man is stabbed to death on a bus in Birmingham. | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
At some point during the journey, there was a verbal altercation at to | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
a physical fight. One of the wells a physical fight. One of the wells | :00:20. | :00:20. | |
produced by. -- one of the males. Plans to run former | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
London Underground trains on Midlands railways | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
are still on course, And keeping our canals | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
running smoothly. The divers going deep underground | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
to carry out vital maintenance. Police have opened a murder inquiry | :00:34. | :00:42. | |
after a man was stabbed to death The victim, who was in his 30s, | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
was attacked on the top deck of the bus in the Handsworth | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
area last night. Roads in the area remain | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
closed-off this lunchtime Our reporter Ben Sidwell | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
is there for us now. Within the last half an hour, police | :00:58. | :01:12. | |
have been carrying out searches here. They have been searching the | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
road and the guttering in some of these shops. On the bus itself, the | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
incident happened further down this road in Handsworth in Birmingham. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
Police say they were called at about quarter to 11 last night. When they | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
arrived, they found a man slumped over one of the seats. Paramedics | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
did their best to save the man, but sadly he was pronounced dead. Police | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
say there were also a number of other people on the bus at the time | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
and they are keen to tilt to them. -- keen to talk to them. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
We know that there were five people sat | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
around with the two males on the | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
top deck, so we've managed to speak to one of the people. | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
The other four people left the bus shortly after | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
Now, it might be that they didn't realise | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
how serious the matter was and they just wanted | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
to get out the way, which is perfectly understandable. | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
However, what I would ask is they would come | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
forward and speak to the | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
It is a large area as you concede that has been cordoned off. A lot of | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
locals have been coming out to look. I've spoken to a few of them and | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
they all have the same feeling. They are all very concerned. | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
Everybody in this road, they are worried about it. | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
If you can't feel safe on the bus, where | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
What happens if I'm on the bus with my children one day and then, | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
Police say they think this was a completely chance altercation. They | :02:38. | :02:48. | |
say the suspect they're looking for is a black man in his 20s with Greg | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
Clark chair and a centre part ten. -- dreadlock hair. And a centre | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
parting. A man's been jailed for 21 years | :03:02. | :03:02. | |
for killing his former partner and trying to murder her lover | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
in West Bromwich. 26-year-old mother of three | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
Wendy Mann was strangled in her own home by 63-year-old | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
Leroy Sterling in August 2015. A month earlier he stabbed | :03:13. | :03:15. | |

London Underground trains on the Midlands rail network | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
are still on course, despite a fire The Warwickshire company Vivarail | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
is converting Tube trains to help It says the fire on a test train | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
is still being investigated Our Transport Correspondent Peter | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
Plisner has been given exclusive access to the firm's | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
testing facilities. Here we are at Long Marston. The | :04:10. | :04:20. | |
fire last month caused by a fire in the engine. This is the very fire. | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
As you can see, it is business as usual. This is one of the London | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
Underground trains currently being converted. This is the actual test | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
trainer caught fire. A lot of work going on to it. It should be back on | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
the tracks in the spring. Here with me is the Chief Executive. Tell me, | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
the investigation, how is it going? The investigation is almost | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
complete. We are going to publish a final report next week. We know why | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
the fire happened, we have a series of actions that we are going to put | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
in place to make sure it doesn't happen again. How disappointing and | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
a setback was it for you? Clearly it is disappointing. But the train was | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
a test trainer and the purpose of them is to find out what happens. | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
Alexi ran extremely well apart from that one incident -- it actually ran | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
extremely well. Other things we're very pleased about that the fire | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
didn't damage the car body much at all. Minor repairs. We put special | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
plates under the floor to protect passengers in that worked extremely | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
well. How much difference will this make to the overcrowding we are | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
seeing on the rail network? They have the potential to move a lot of | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
people very quickly. Also, shorter station times. Really is what this | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
whole train designed for. Thank you. There is a national shortage of | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
diesel trains, so they could be coming to eight station near you | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
pretty soon. -- a station. Now, a diving team is working deep | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
under Birmingham this lunchtime to keep the city's | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
canals workng smoothly. The divers will use an inflatable | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
pillow to plug and then drain a stretch of pipeline which moves | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
water around the canal network. Our Environment correspondent David | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
Gregory-Kumar has been on site. Well, this is something you don't | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
often see in landlocked Birmingham. This is actually, believe it or not, | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
a diving operation and it is going to be taking place about 17, 19 | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
metres beneath that entrance hall. And to explain what it is all about, | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
it is Neil Bedford. Neal, there is a culvert | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
down there, a pipe. This pipe, it connects to the canal | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
down at Saltley and it's And what allows us to do | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
with the pumping station, we can pump water from | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
down at the bottom. From there, we can | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
feed the rest of the canal system down through | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Knole and further south. So, this diving operation | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
is right at the We're going to be blocking it | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
off because they want to drain it so you can check | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
the pumps themselves. What the diver's going to do | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
is insert an stopper. That is effectively | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
an inflatable balloon in The diver is going to push | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
this stopper under the We're then going to inflate | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
it from the ground. Once we're happy, I can | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
then start the pumps up. I can then dewater just that | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
short section of the culvert, between the | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
stopper and the pumps. So we're dewatering a short | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
section and protecting the And that means you can | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
check the pumps that have The pumps were installed | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
27 years ago. They pumped nearly | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
400 litres of water We're looking to actually | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
replace them later this year, but we need to | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
inspect the installation. As you can see, the | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
operation is ongoing. We'll have an update | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
in tonight's programme. Time for a look at the weather now | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
with Charlie Slater. Not a bad afternoon | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
in store for you either. A good deal of dry and fine weather | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
around over the next few hours, just a little bit of cloud | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
building into the picture. Particularly the further | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
west you are. Basically, the further east | :08:06. | :08:06. | |
is better this afternoon. You will find more blue | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
sky and sunshine there. Temperatures will climb up to around | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
six or seven Celsius. You might even get the odd | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
eight Celsius at fair. That being said, there | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
is still the occasional area where there is an isolated | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
patch of fog which will last all day long today and that will of course | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
limit the growth of temperatures. We will go through | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
tonight and onto the early hours of Wednesday morning, | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
the foggy patches unfortunately are going to return, particularly in | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
further southern and eastern areas Temperatures not falling | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
as far as last night. Last night was minus four minus five | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
and a couple of spots. That being said, there | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
are a couple of warnings that have been issued from the to | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
Met Office, still cold enough for there to be a little | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
bit of ice around. Again, we will have | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
to look out for some fog first thing | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
on Wednesday morning. Of course, ice and fog | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
are not a good combination. Can affect visibility | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
out there on the roads. Going through the daytime, | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
on Wednesday a good deal of Occasionally, the cloud | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
will thin and break. The fog patches could linger | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
a little bit as well. Temperatures will do | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
all right on Wednesday, getting up to around | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
six or seven Celsius. But later, we'll be in Worcester | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
as Paralympic gold medallist Claire Cashmore officially opens | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
the city's new swimming pool. That's in Midlands Today with | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
Mary Rhodes at 18:30 on BBC One. Until then, have a very | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
good afternoon. | :09:20. | :09:22. |
