Good evening. stories on the BBC News Channel. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Two elderly residents of a care home in Staffordshire are in a serious | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
condition in hospital after a fire severely damaged the property. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
They were amongst 25 residents who had to be evacuated. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
The alarm was raised at around 11.30 last night at the Standon House | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
It took 20 firefighters around three hours to bring it under control. | :00:23. | :00:32. | |
Staffordshire Fire Service say it was caused by a discarded | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
cigarette in an external smoking area which lead to the fire | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
spreading to the roof of the home. Seven of the residents had to be | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
One to the Queens Hospital in Burton upon Trent | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
In two of them here are said to be in a serious condition. | :00:46. | :00:54. | |
The remaining residents had to be rehoused in nearby flats, and two | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
Many of the residents' bedrooms were unfortunately quite seriously | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
The majority of the fire was in the roof space and then | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
we had quite a lot of smoke damage and obviously where we put water | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
on to the fire, that water ingresses into the residents' rooms as well. | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
That is why there was the need to re-home some of the residents. | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
Keith Hall's 91-year-old mother who has dementia, | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
She was absolutely fine about it, really. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Just totally unbelievable what has happened. | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
Police have thanked local residents for raising the alarm and helping | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
A 36-year-old man is in a stable condition in hospital after being | :01:35. | :01:44. | |
stabbed in Burton-upon-Trent in the early hours of this morning. | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
A 32-year-old man, arrested for attempted murder, | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
Police are looking for another man believed to have been | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Around 2,000 people turned out at the Guru Nanak Sikh Temple | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
in Walsall to celebrate one of the most important dates | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
Vaisakhi commemorates the year of 1699, when Sikhism was born. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
These five sword-bearing men are symbolic of those who in 1699 | :02:12. | :02:23. | |
were baptised into the Khalsa, an order, a way of living | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
if you like, that was established by the Guru Gobind Singh Ji. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
Today, a time for reflection and for Suki | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
and Jason Peters, a chance for their little girl, | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Simaren, to experience Vasakhi for the first time. | :02:41. | :02:41. | |
She is just one-year-old and this is the first time | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
we are bringing her and obviously she is going to look | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
and then as she gets older, we want to explain to her. | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
Obviously, I want this to be a tradition because I went | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
as a little girl every year, as a family, and we | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
And it is very much a family occasion, | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
To the beat of the drums, the procession sets off, | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
a celebration of a faith that is rooted in equality. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
No one is higher than anyone else apart from the Guru Granth Sahib. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
We stand as a community, we don't judge anyone otherwise | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
and it is all about, you know, no prejudice either. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
The streets of Walsall packed with colour and people | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
And you're hoping your kids will continue this tradition | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
Well, I'll carry on bringing them and hopefully | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
A tradition that clearly means so much to so many. | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Amy Cole, BBC Midlands Today, Walsall. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
West Bromwich Albion and Liverpool fans stood in silence | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
at the Hawthorns to remember Tracey and Pierce Wilkinson | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
who were stabbed to death at their home in Stourbridge just | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
The Club said Peter Wilkinson who was critically injured | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
in the attack, was determined to return to the ground today | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
And the result of that match West Bromwich Albion | :04:02. | :04:07. | |

more promise, clear skies and some flower -- cloud showers compared to | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
today. The cloud reducing rain through the south-east overnight | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
