west midlands we saw highs of 2a degrees, in the mid—70s. some cloud and rain further north, that weakened, some brightness in the south, and in the midlands and in the south coast. the rain will begin to pep up in northern ireland and into the scottish borders eventually. it will be murky here with coastal mist as well. to be south of that, it stays mild and to the north it is fresher but it will bea the north it is fresher but it will be a muggy start to our tuesday. cloud and rain pushes eastwards, it wea ke ns a cloud and rain pushes eastwards, it weakens a little. bright and fresh conditions in northern ireland, scattered showers of 14—18d. with brightness, highs of 21 degrees and any rain will be the odd spot during daylight hours in eastern england. there's weather fronts clearing into the north sea, and some slightly fresher air. a noticeable difference to the weather. bright with sunny spells coming through. top temperatures of 16—19d. moving out of wednesday, we should keep dry weather in england and wales. wet and windy condit

so i think this is a real opportunity for birmingham and the west midlands and for the uk to showcase itself as hosting these major international events across the world. struggling with a bit rubbish collection dispute that continues to hang over the city, birmingham will have to pay for one quarter of the cost of the games itself. this year we have received the largest cut of any local government in terms of spending power, so these are challenging times financially, but we've got the whole region behind our bid and the whole region contributing financially to make sure we deliver the best ever commonwealth games. and for sutton coldfield's number one rhythmic gymnast in britain the training now has additional motivation. i think for every athlete in every sport to have a game that means so much to them personally, coming to their own city, their own home town and country, it will probably be the highlight of my career. the success of glasgow's commonwealth games three years ago enhanced britain's status as a leading host of global sports events. birmingham's task will now be to bui

midlands in five years come up ata west midlands in five years come up at a quarter has to be raised by local authorities. but the government has seen the success in recent yea rs government has seen the success in recent years of events like london 2012, the commonwealth games in glasgow two years later, while temperatures in cricket, rugby and athletics and many feel that hosting sport can be a platform as it prepares for brexit for greater trade and tourism. this is the sports minister, tracey crouch. there has always been a boost to the local economy from hosting the event and what you do see is a strong legacy in both terms of participation but also use of the venues after the event. so i think this is a real opportunity for birmingham, a real opportunity for the west midlands and a real opportunity for the uk to showcase itself is hosting these major international events across the world. with the deadline for submissions tomorrow and we understand birmingham being the only candidate city so far to actually deliver its bid there is no doubt it is the red—hot favourite but the
