A four-year-old boy has been praised by the emergency services | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
after dialling 999 when his mother collapsed suddenly at home. | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
Jake Onions from Shropshire reacted the moment he saw her lying | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
motionless on the floor of their kitchen. | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Four-year-old Jake Onions at his home in Telford | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
Even at his tender age he knew exactly what to do when his mum | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
She stumbled and fled. Her son picked up a mobile phone and dialled | :00:36. | :01:08. | |
999. where she can loose consciousness | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
at any moment. I woke up with him tugging on my | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
hair. He was on the phone to the police lady on the service and she | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
was trying to talk to me. She said what a wonderful little boy he is. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
And it wasn't easy for Jake, he has developmental problems | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
with his speech making his family even more proud. | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
It was so emotional, just hearing him and knowing that my little boy | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
was on his own, that is how it felt to me. He was trying to get the | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
right help for me. He knew what the lady was saying but for him to get | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
it across and say what was going on was amazing. | :01:53. | :01:53. | |
The operator who took the call for West Mercia Police said | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
she'd shed a few tears after speaking to Jake. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Campaigners opposed to plans for the controversial high speed | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
rail link between London, Birmingham and the north of England | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
say their fight will continue, despite the news that phase one | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
is likely to get royal assent in the next month. | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
Protestors say there are still issues over construction | :02:14. | :02:15. | |

A group of elderly and disabled people have had a roller | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
coaster of a week - and now their fortunes have | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
First a trailer filled with their mobility scooters | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
was stolen then a Midlands Today viewer donated a new trailer. | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
Well, the stolen trailer's been returned, and they've had scooters | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
and a wheelchair given to them too by people touched by their story. | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
They've certainly got something to sing about now. | :02:41. | :02:51. | |
The Place of Refuge Community Church in Walsall had had a terrible week | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
when a trailer and mobility scooters were stolen. | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
It threatened day trips and independence for | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
But yesterday, after an anonymous tip off, their trailer was returned. | :03:01. | :03:10. | |
I find it hard to cry but inside I was really sad and really really | :03:11. | :03:22. | |
worried that we would not get it back. Now I feel really willing | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
proud that they have. They have brought it back and... And I will be | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
able to regain my life again. Earlier this week Midlands Today | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
viewer Darren Logan donated another trailer, and he's happy to let them | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
to keep it. The viewers and listeners, the | :03:41. | :03:51. | |
contacts we have had through this misfortune, it is probably the | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
positives outweigh the negatives and I want to thank everybody who was | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
listening now. Mobility scooters and a wheelchair | :04:00. | :04:00. | |
still haven't been returned - The fantastic thing is they ended up | :04:01. | :04:12. | |
with more wheelchairs and mobility scooters than they had in the first | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
place, such as been the response from the public. | :04:17. | :04:17. | |

Wasps scored seven tries to defeat zebra. They will play Leinster in | :04:42. | :04:59. | |
the quarterfinals. It's been a bitterly | :05:00. | :05:00. | |
cold weekend hasn't it? Claire Baffin-Massie sent us this | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
frosty photograph of the sun rising And it looks like there are more sub | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
zero temperatures to come this week? Despite high pressure in charge, we | :05:06. | :05:22. | |
have seen quite a lots of variations, sunny spells, cloud and | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
snow. Through this evening and overnight, we have cloud around but | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
some breaks and the chance of seeing this -- frost developing and patchy | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
fog. Lows of minus four Celsius. A chilly start tomorrow, some dense | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
patches of fog first thing. The fog will lift and in some areas it could | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
last all day but we will see bright intervals, temperatures not up to | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
much, five Celsius and similar on Tuesday. | :05:55. | :05:55. | |
