birmingham six. in 2013, as part of a bbc documentary, the hambletons agreed to meet paddy hill. there is still a cloud over us, there always has been. some of the things they said is we got out on a technicality. so i want the truth to come out, just like the hambletons. it's like we're going to meet the enemy. when i see the hambletons, i'm looking forward to it, but i'm still a bit apprehensive, you know? i know how i'm going to take them — it's how they're going to take me. this is one man of six, who through the years has been vilified and is infamous for the death of our sister and 20 other innocent souls. we can't go further forward without doing this. i understand how those people feel, like, you know? they've had years of having someone to focus their anger on and, of course, theiranger was focused on us. i have a similar anger. but my anger is focused on the west midlands serious crime squad. there's many questions i want to ask him. i don't know what order i will ask them in. but it'sjud

sima kotecha reports now from birmingham. for many, renting somewhere to live is the only affordable option, and now, under government plans, tenants could have more power than before. i'm worried also about the people who don't necessarily know their rights... nick had a bad experience while renting. he was given just four weeks to move out of his flat. it was quite stressful at the time. i had to find a flat at short notice. i had to settle for somewhere that was probably, i wouldn't have chosen in an ideal world, in terms of the state it was in. if these changes come into force, tenants won't be able to be evicted without good reason. yeah, it is a relief that at least in principle what happened to me before couldn't happen again. in that sense, it's a positive and it also shows how desperate the situation has become for a lot of private renters. i think that the government has been forced to act, after pressure. at the moment, landlords are able to terminate tenancies through section 21 notices, which means they don't hav

gregory kumar, bbc news, birmingham. the motoring journalist maria mccarthy joins me via webcam. welcome to you. why do you think there is this postcode lottery, as it is called?|j think postcode lottery, as it is called?” think there is a lot of different reasons. first of all, we have local authority charging points. the government does offer local authorities grant to install these points but it does require a certain amount offunding points but it does require a certain amount of funding on behalf of the local authorities, which as we know are very stretched at the moment, so lots of authorities haven‘t taken that up to a very great extent. then, of course, we have got private charging points in supermarkets, in railway stations, national trust houses and so forth and that‘s all done on a very sort of ad hoc basis. the companies will look at how many electric cars might be around, whether or not they want to draw in customers by offering them these charging points. so, as was said earlier, it is all very sort of a lottery like, it is a very patchy sort of situation at t

another teenager stabbed to death last night in birmingham, as homicide figures for england and wales hit a ten—year high, and knife offences recorded by police reach record levels. the sense is that violence is rising in england and wales, but let's look at the bigger picture. homicide is up, a 10—year high, but this graph suggests it is too early to say that society is becoming more violent. 0verall figures for violent crime show actually a huge fall since the mid—‘90s. the chances of being a victim of violence then were 110 in 1,000. now, the lowest ever, 29. figures for offences involving a knife recorded by police are at their highest. but they only go back to 2011. some experts think the apparent trend upwards may not be quite what it seems. violence involving knives is localised. it affects relatively small numbers of people. so overall, the risk to us all has decreased. there are hotspots of serious violence, notably disputed gang areas in london and other big cities. but mercifully, for people generally, the risk of being a victim of violence is still going down. mark

whereas ben is at birmingham train station. rail bosses are calling for a major shake—up of the way our trains are run, including scrapping the current franchise system and taking control away from the government. ben is at birmingham‘s news street station this morning. i cannot compete on flowers. it is the biggest shake in our railways, calling for things to try and improve railways, ticket prices, punctuality, service and competition. the government will report back in the autumn. today, companies are submitting proposals and some are pretty drastic, they are saying we need to do this differently so what difference could it make to all of us. with me, robert from the rail delivery group, and from the owners group. as of the rail companies yourselves are proposing big changes. why do you need to do this? because we have relied on short—term fixes for too long and we are saying and now they need to be fundamental changes that we believe this is the opportunity with this government rail review to produce a white paper tha

thank you, ben thompson in birmingham. victims of anti—social behaviour are being left to suffer in silence, according to a new report. the victims commissioner for england and wales, baroness newlove, says petty low level crime is still being played down or ignored by the authorities. our home affairs correspondent peter cooke reports. anti—social behaviour remains a daily problem across our towns and cities. this latest report paints a picture of little having changed in more than a decade. we've got to address the issue of cuts to the public services and to police, but also the fact that, you know, in 2007, there was better funding for police and then, there still was no action. since her husband's death in 2007, baroness newlove has championed measures to cut anti—social behaviour. garry newlove was attacked outside their home in warrington when he tried to stop a gang vandalising his car. the report says the police and local councils often treat incidents in isolation and ignore the underlying causes. society ha

our correspondent, sima kotecha reports from birmingham: there's nothing quite like a bit of bacon and sausage... or is there? medium breakfast, bacon well done... at this cafe, for some diners, it's a must, especially at breakfast. i enjoy it, i don't see anything wrong with it. i'll probably eat bacon and sausage four or five times a week. and it's the ideal start to the day. i'm not one for cereal, but i feel i'm quite healthy, active, at the age of 46. but now, this — further evidence suggests red and processed meat such as salami, bacon and hot dogs can be harmful if eaten regularly, even in small quantities. the six—year study showed that for those who ate the equivalent of one rasher of bacon per day, four out of 1,000 developed bowel cancer. and for those that ate three rashers of bacon per day, five out of 1,000 developed the same cancer. the advice is, the less you eat, the lower the risk. this doesn't mean that you have to completely give up bacon or go vegetarian if you don't want to, but simple ways that you can cut down on the amount that you are eating can all make a

birmingham is planning to charge drivers next year. similar schemes will follow in leeds, glasgow, greater manchester and others. it's a move that many drivers disagree with drivers disagree with but now it's set to spread. we can't look back in 20 years' time and say, "well, we protected the rights of drivers, we protected the rights of businesses to drive big vehicles around, and it's a bit of a shame but some people have died about it." you know, you can't have it both ways. only on the worst days can you actually see air pollution hanging in the air. but the damage can be done by gases and particles that are invisible. the hope is that the new zone will quickly make a difference. david shukman, bbc news. lucy sadler runs urban access regulations, a european—wide website on low emission zones and congestion charges. she led the london mayor's air quality strategy development and implementation from 2000 to 2005, and shejoins us now from freiburg in germany. thank you for being with us. what do you make of ultra low emission zone?

highs of 14 in birmingham and london. through this evening and overnight we have a band of rain that will slowly push its way eastwards whilst tending to weaken. they will be some damp weather in wales and northern ireland. largely drive for scotland across northern england, the midlands, east anglia and the south—east. a lot of cloud around. it will not be as cold. on tuesday, a lot of cloud across the country. we have still got a weather front bringing rain. heaviest in western scotland. the weather will brighten up scotland. the weather will brighten up in northern ireland, south—west england and southern wales later in the day. it is through wednesday that we start to see things really begin to warm up. more sunshine around for many areas. with lighter winds they will help the temperatures. we could see them reach as high as 18 or 19 degrees in south east england. further north, 13 for belfast, 14 in edinburgh. it is set to get warmer as we move towards the latter part of the weekend. temperatures in the low 20s.

here is a picture from kings norton in birmingham, the son really starting to show its hand, just a bit misty on the horizon. i think the midlands will fare pretty well for the sunshine today. it is looking rather grey across south wales, but a few glimmers to the rear. the fog and low cloud could be short lived. claudia towards the east, a breeze coming in from the east, a breeze coming in from the east as well, always cooler. you are probably onto a winner in the belfast area, and aberystwyth you are further away from the north sea so not quite the same bracing effect of the north sea wind. looking on the face of it it is not all that clea n the face of it it is not all that clean cut, because we have cloud swirling around. gaps across the middle part of the uk at the moment, as we saw for the midlands, and some thicker cloud in the west. give it a few hours and i think what we will tend to see is western areas brightening, south—eastern areas with some thicker cloud, and a weak weather front bearing rain on and off through the day, particularly through central and southern scotland

cities across england are considering similar schemes with birmingham and leeds saying they will introduce clean air zones next year. the idea is to discourage people to drive into central london if they‘ve got polluting vehicles, to encourage them to walk, cycle, or use public transport. if they have to drive into central london, to use a cleaner form of vehicle, electric, hybrid, or hydrogen powered. but if you are going to drive in with a more polluting vehicle you‘d have to pay for that. so, what is a more polluting vehicle? well, it‘s based on a standard emissions test. petrol vehicles registered before 2005 are likely to be subject to this new charge. but most diesel vehicles registered before 2016 will be liable. and what will it cost? well, if you include the congestion charge, it could cost £24 per day to drive a car or van into central london. for small business owners like alex who runs a house clearance and recycling company it has meant upgrading his van to a newer one compatible with these ultra low emission rules. i haven‘t been paid in two months. really? that‘s

phase one of hs2 is expected to reach birmingham by the year 2026. with phase two, the routes to manchester and leeds are expected to be completed by 2034. but there are growing questions about whether the line will never reach places like leeds. in recent weeks construction contracts for hs2 have been postponed and won the minister has even said the government will be reviewing how much they spent on the project. but business leaders here in the north are adamant hs2 must go ahead. hs2 isn't just about going to london faster. it does do that, it increases capacity to london, but most importantly it connects the northern powerhouse to the midlands. the country has been debating the merits of hs2 for over a decade. for homeowners who have sold their homes to make way for the line, they now have three years to move out. but the story of hs2 is far from over. in a moment, we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... crossrail, the new london line being built across the capital, could be over two years behind schedule, the bbc
