Summary:


There's been a steady stream of people coming down here to the spot behind me where the crash happened last night. They've been coming all day. There have been plenty of very young children with their families, as of course the little girl who died was just seven years old. They've been bringing teddies, balloons, flowers and they've been writing tributes and one said, I will remember your beautiful soul forever, thinking and praying for your family. Well, one local woman I spoke to said she realised that something was happening just before seven o'clock last night. We just heard the helicopter really loud outside our window and looked out and saw the air ambulance on the field and then saw all the flashing blue lights and everything down there and it's just awful. My 13 year old just goes wandering round here and it's making me think should she be out here on her own.


Shock and Grief Among the Community

It's not nice. And it seems like everyone obviously is shocked and sad. Yeah, definitely. 100 percent. It's heartbreaking. I mean, the poor family tried to think what they're going through. That's a sentiment echoed by West Midlands police who today said this is a heartbreaking situation that no family should ever have to go through.

Urgent Appeal for Information

They've also urged anyone to come forward with any information they have, however large or small, saying this is not about protecting people. This is about doing the right thing.


The investigation is ongoing, and the community remains in mourning over the tragic loss of the young girl. Authorities are determined to bring justice to the grieving family and hold the responsible party accountable for their actions.

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction?

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis People are packing up in their cars. They're getting out of here. A few days before I found myself standing there on the edge of Kharkiv, watching those first tank shells hit into the apartment blocks in Saltyvka, my editor, Louis Emmanuel, had asked me to come up with something to be published on the day of the war, if the war began, explaining to readers why this was happening. And I was hoping it would never be published. It was, and the answer I came up with was, probably in the simple balance of power. I quote it, Russia's military is at its strongest and most capable since the Cold War. Its public finances are also in good order, and Mr Putin may believe he is well placed to bear the costs of the conflict and inevitable sanctions. We'll come back to that in a second. The West is conversely at a moment of historic econo...

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired?

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired? I mean, he caveated his remarks so that he wasn't departing from the official government line, which is that Ukraine makes the calls here when Ukraine's ready, then Ukraine may negotiate. But the fact that he, that comment we were taking out of context, and people will say that Rishi Sunak believes that there has to be a negotiation at, so at what point are we going to lean on the Ukrainians to negotiate? And I think that in Kiev, I think it won't be very, they won't welcome the fact that he said it. It's also, it's just not true that all wars end at the negotiating table. It's a line we've heard from the beginning, right from the start. People should read a book occasionally. The Second World War did not end in negotiation. One of yours perhaps. Yes. The First World War did not end in a meaningful negotia...
