it's starting to clear from shropshire now, these are these guys we see between the showers.. not as mild as yesterday but still relatively mild. as you can see, it's really very wet indeed for some parts of ireland and northern ireland, and it will stay that way for the next few hours. through lunchtime lots of heavy showers across southern areas of the uk. that persistent rain across dumfries and galloway and parts of northern ireland. it starts to ease towards the evening. the east of scotla nd towards the evening. the east of scotland may not seem much rain. despite strong, southerly winds, but we'll see some heavy downpours. they could be the odd rumble of thunder. expect rain if you are heading out and about. 0vernight we see a calm in the weather, the rain eases away, and we get more rain later on into the west, but tonight is colder. much colder than last night with a touch of frost. these are the town and city values. and i start for many of us tomorrow. another pulse of rain runs along that into the afternoon. away from that western areas much brighter tomorrow. bre

shrewsbury and the home of shropshire voted for brexit. and it was a close margin, i have to say.ntry, to start to negotiate with the eu on the new relationship. so the country is even more split now, i would say, than it was a few years ago, in what they perceived to be the best way forward. we will have two analyse those sentiments and we will have to as best as we can take on board those soundings before we decide how to vote on this bill in, i estimate, early december. yes, those soundings you plan to ta ke yes, those soundings you plan to take from councillors and constituents of this weekend, they say this will absolutely inform you decision whether or not to support theresa may‘s deal or not? very much so. i think a lot of conservative mps behave in this way. we campaigned for brexit because we felt that the renegotiation at mr cameron brought back after a two—year process of renegotiation with the eu was nothing but a figleaf, and it did nothing to allay the concerns of vast numbers of our constituents, who had real difficulties with certain aspects of our membership of th

honourable friend and our right honourable friend and our right honourable friend the member for north shropshire of the european union who actively think that the backstop would be a good place for the uk, because of its access to the european union markets, without having financial obligations and without free movement. and so that‘s why they don‘t want us to be in the backstop either. neither of us want to invoke it. the taoiseach has been clear about that. we want to ensure that the future relationship replaces it and delivers our commitment to the people of northern ireland. thank you, mr speaker. the prime minister‘s deal means scotland is to be taken out of the european union against our will, and out of the single market, a market which is around eight times the size of the uk. mr speaker, scotland voted to remain. 0ur rights must be respected. leaving will rip away jobs, living standards and end freedom of movement, something that will make it harderfor our freedom of movement, something that will make it harder for our precious nhs to attract and retain the stuff that we need. migration

shrewsbury and telford nhs trust in shropshire — at the centre of a maternity scandal — is put into specialplay for england against usa at wembley later this month in honour of his international achievments. he is the country's record goal—scorer. the fa, who've been in discussions with rooney for over a year, have been accused of cheapening the feat and limiting game time for players who need the experience more than rooney. we are a strange country in that we bemoan the fact that we haven't achieved as much as we would like and then we have a player who should be held in the highest regard. we are spending a lot of time justifying giving him that tribute. from my point of view, i am looking forward to seeing him, working with him for the next few days, giving him the sendoff i think he deserves with england. i am sure the crowd will give him the reaction he deserves. this man could make his debut against the usa. bournemouth's callum wilson has received his first call up after impressing for bournemouth this season. he's scored 6 goals in 11 games this season. there's also a recall for ev

an nhs trust in shropshire, which is under review following alleged failings in maternity care, has beenral birth when you knew that there was something wrong with his head ? it could have been a completely different story. throughout, the trust have insisted that current care is safe, but today's report highlights a catalogue of failures. both maternity and accident and emergency are rated as inadequate for safety. staff say there was a culture of bullying and harassment. some of the executive team do not have the right skills and ability to provide high quality sustainable care. there is no doubt that the leadership was not creating the right culture in the organisation. staff told us they were fearful about raising concerns. that's not acceptable. staff need to be feeling free to raise concerns about safety for patients, and those concerns need to be acted upon. the trust was put into special measures earlier this month, due not just to failings in maternity but also because of long—standing problems in the a&e unit. critically ill patients left waiting hours to see a doctor and then
