Good evening, a train has crashed about 2 miles outside of Birmingham New Street Station, causing heavy delays and cancellations for services to Sheffield and Manchester, Hereford and services through to wales. This is causing disruption to commuters travelling out of Birmingham. Our Traveling Travel Correspondent Steve Markham is live at the scene of the incident.
Hello Steve, what is the current situation do we know what the current death toll is?
(Cut to Birmingham New Street, sirens and heavy machinery in the background)
Well, i'm standing at the site of the train crash, which has happened about 5 miles outside Birmingham.
I managed to get a quick word with the police officer in charge here, who told me that there were already 44 confirmed dead and 65 injured 24 of which are serious, making this the worst train incident in the last 20 years I'm hoping to get another update on the casualties later for you here on Dave.
Do we know what the cause of this incident is?
The cause of this incident is currently unknown, weather conditions were fine, and tracks had just been re-laid. Emergency services are looking into the causes of the crash and initially expect that trains won’t be running for at least the next 24hrs.

Thanks Steve. We will bring you more updates on that as they come in.

Tension between Russia and the West has increased after an incident at a UN conference in Brussels yesterday, where French President Nicolas Sarkozi is alleged to have challenged Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to a fist fight during a debate about Russian Gas Supplies to the West.
At a Kremlin Press Conference the Russian Foreign Minister Ludmilla Ivanova made a strong statement: (English translation over Russian)
“My Government is outraged at the behaviour of President Sarkoz. We believe that his behaviour was unnecessarily aggressive and quite unacceptable for a Head of State. We cannot reach a trade agreement about energy supplies if we are forced to break off diplomatic relations.”

In the Studio with us is our Foreign Correspondent, Reginald Blogger. Reginald, what impact do you think this will have on the UK?
“Potentially this is very serious. Any disruption to French Gas Supplies will automatically affect the UK. Downing Street are also dismayed at Mr Sarkozi’s behaviour and possibly Gordon Brown will put pressure on him to apologise.”
Ludmilla Ivanova is a new face in Russian politics, what do we know of her?

“Well, it is believed that she rose up through the Russian Secret Service and commands the ear of Putin himself. Kremlin insiders think that she might even bid for the leadership in the next Russian election.”
Thanks Reggie.

Downing Street has announced the winner of the PM’s sporting day out this morning.
Brian Green, aged 14 from Little Snoring in Norfolk, has won the opportunity to take a trip out with Gordon Brown to the cricket.
“Well I think it’s a great idea, it gives me a chance to meet with the younger generation”.
Brian, who developed a life threatening brain tumour, has had groundbreaking surgery and is now on his way to gaining 5 GCSE’s at his local school.
He said he was really glad to get the chance to meet the prime minister and that he loves cricket.


BBC Hereford and Worcester might be in a bit of trouble after Director General Mark Thompson made it public that the BBC were considering the closure of Local Radio Stations all over the UK. They have been struggling over the past few months with falling ratings and bad listener reviews, Mark Thompson said that he feels ‘it is a waste of money to keep failing Local Services running if people aren’t listening to them’. There was some support for keeping the station broadcasting, but the majority of listeners at the forum felt the same way, as it is the public that pay for these services through the license and felt that it was a waste of their money.

“Well, at the moment it is only in the planning stages but if it comes off, we hope to maintain the quality support the RNC currently provides to the VI community in FE,
“Thank you for that.”
In a statement released by RNC this morning, they confirmed that there was a possibility of the two college’s joining up, but stressed that at this minute in time, there commitment was to their current learners.
