Good evening. That

:00:00.:00:00.

Police investigating the attack in Westminster have arrested

:00:00.:00:07.

a 30-year-old man in Birmingham today on suspicion of

:00:08.:00:10.

They've also been searching a flat in the Hockley area of the city

:00:11.:00:16.

which was believed to be regularly visited by the attacker,

:00:17.:00:18.

Another Birmingham neighbourhood disrupted by police activity

:00:19.:00:25.

as officers piece together the movements

:00:26.:00:28.

of the Westminster killer Khalid Masood.

:00:29.:00:31.

Specialist search teams removed bags of evidence from a property

:00:32.:00:34.

Masood lived nearby and visited the maisonette.

:00:35.:00:40.

The police searches began in Hagley Road in Birmingham

:00:41.:00:42.

on Wednesday, hours after Masood ploughed into pedestrians

:00:43.:00:47.

on Westminster Bridge before killing a policeman.

:00:48.:00:50.

Three days ago, this flat was the subject

:00:51.:00:54.

There's no signs of anything untoward, life is back to normal.

:00:55.:01:01.

Along with a 30-year-old man arrested today, a 58-year-old

:01:02.:01:05.

One terrorism expert believes the city has been unfairly portrayed

:01:06.:01:13.

Just label an entire community as being some sort of enemy within,

:01:14.:01:20.

it just plays into the hands of these terrorists in terms

:01:21.:01:25.

of generating alienation and that leads inevitably to small

:01:26.:01:30.

One senior officer admitted today though, we may never know

:01:31.:01:34.

why Masood chose to go on his murderous rampage.

:01:35.:01:42.

Police are investigating the death of a 55-year-old man who was found

:01:43.:01:45.

with serious head injuries at an address in Kidderminster.

:01:46.:01:48.

Paramedics were called to a property on Offmore Road on Friday night

:01:49.:01:52.

A 22-year-old man from Kidderminster has been arrested.

:01:53.:02:00.

The pub in Lichfield where the Staffordshire Regiment

:02:01.:02:02.

was formed 312 years ago this weekend has re-opened

:02:03.:02:06.

Nothing new there you'd think, apart from the fact that new owners

:02:07.:02:11.

are themselves a group of former Staffords who have taken

:02:12.:02:14.

on the lease to save this piece of regimental history.

:02:15.:02:17.

Ben Sidwell went along to the opening.

:02:18.:02:26.

Making a quick advance into their spiritual home.

:02:27.:02:28.

On this weekend in 1705, in the King's Head in Lichfield,

:02:29.:02:32.

Colonel Luke Lillingston signed up his first recruits

:02:33.:02:35.

to what would become the Staffordshire Regiment.

:02:36.:02:38.

All around the pub, reminders of the regiment's long history.

:02:39.:02:41.

Even the new landlord is a former corporal.

:02:42.:02:44.

To actually be asked to run the pub is beyond

:02:45.:02:49.

It was an honour to be approached to do it.

:02:50.:02:53.

I didn't even have to think about it for a second,

:02:54.:02:55.

Earlier in the day, before the official opening,

:02:56.:03:00.

hundreds of veterans marched through Lichfield.

:03:01.:03:03.

The city's streets brought to a standstill by onlookers.

:03:04.:03:07.

Guest of honour, a many times great-grandaughter

:03:08.:03:10.

I didn't think I would get so emotional.

:03:11.:03:19.

It's something we never dreamed would happen.

:03:20.:03:22.

It's as though the regiment has finally come back home.

:03:23.:03:26.

Not only is The King's Head the oldest pub in Lichfield

:03:27.:03:28.

and of course the home of Staffordshire Regiment,

:03:29.:03:30.

it is also believed to be the first pub ever in this country to be owned

:03:31.:03:34.

by a regiment and if trade continues like this,

:03:35.:03:38.

And that's something worth drinking to.

:03:39.:03:48.

In today's rugby, Wasps remain top of the Premiership after beating

:03:49.:03:51.

Worcester by 40 points to 33, but the Warriors still earn two

:03:52.:03:54.

bonus points in their fight against relegation.

:03:55.:03:59.

Time for a look at the weather now with Jennifer Bartram.

:04:00.:04:05.

Good evening. It has been a lovely weekend of weather and it will stay

:04:06.:04:13.

mild into Monday. Tonight there will be a few clear spells, a bit of

:04:14.:04:19.

cloud tending to come and go. Temperatures of four or 5 degrees.

:04:20.:04:24.

There could be a feud misty patches first thing tomorrow. The sunshine

:04:25.:04:29.

will break through but a lot more cloud around tomorrow, so bright if

:04:30.:04:33.

not sunny spells developing and temperatures around 14 degrees.

:04:34.:04:41.

turning a little more unsettled, a turning a little more unsettled, a

:04:42.:04:44.

scattered showers as well. We will scattered showers as well. We will

:04:45.:04:51.

be back at 6:30am tomorrow. Until then, good night.

:04:52.:05:04.

Hello there, it's not often that we have the best of the weather at the

:05:05.:05:10.

weekend. But, that seems to be

:05:11.:05:11.
