Zeb used Your Questions to ask: "Did the University of Birmingham convert its coal mines into a bomb shelter?"

We got in touch with Luke Harrison at the university to do some digging.

He said: "I know there is certainly discussion about provision of air raid shelters, including references in the wonderful diaries of Sir Raymond Priestley, Vice Chancellor and in the minutes of the Finance and General Purposes committee.

"I haven't found any references to the mines being used in the catalogue listings we have so far and I would have expected to see this noted as a point of interest.

"There are about a mile of phoney coalmine snakes beneath campus. It was built in 1905 to give mining students experience of working underground."

Clear skies tonight mean falling temperatures and some freezing fog by morning with lows of -1C (30F).

The conduct of West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis over the way he left a former club has been described as "disgraceful" by arbitrators.

A Premier League Managers' Arbitration Tribunal had ruled earlier this year that he should pay £3.7m in damages to Crystal Palace over his departure at the start of 2014-15 season. Mr Pulis said it was unfair and mounted a challenge in the High Court but a judge ruled against him.

Details of the case have emerged in a written ruling published by Sir Michael Burton today.

Pulis had a contract with the south London club which promised him a £2m bonus if he kept them in the Premier League at the end of the 2013-14 season and stayed in the manager's job until 31 August 2014.

He secured Palace's place in the top flight but did not stay until the required date, instead asking for the bonus earlier than agreed and then informing the club a day later he wanted to leave.  

The arbitration panel concluded it was satisfied Pulis intended to give the club the "false impression" that he had a pressing, personal need for the money and that "he knew or was reckless to the fact that the impression he was giving to the club was a false one".  

A man has appeared in court charged with causing death by dangerous driving after a car crashed, killing a passenger in Bartley Green, Birmingham.

The 22-year-old is also accused of drink driving, causing serious injury by dangerous driving, and driving while disqualified in connection with the collision in which the vehicle hit bollards and a parked van. It had, police say, failed to stop for officers.

A woman in her 20s − a back seat passenger in the car − was confirmed dead at the scene. A front seat passenger was taken to hospital with a broken foot.  

It happened on Adams Hill just before 03.00 on Saturday. 

The matter has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

I'll have a special Midlands Today report on concerns that building the high-speed rail network HS2 could disrupt the region's roads.   

HS2 crosses several motorways under the proposed project. Transport bosses are worried about the impact on already congested networks.

The West Midlands Combined Authority says HS2 will lead to new jobs in the long term - but there will be pain while the work takes place.  

You can see my report on BBC One at 18:30.

West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis has lost a £3.7m High Court fight with a former club.

Pulis had earlier this year been ordered to pay £3.7m damages to Crystal Palace by a Premier League Managers' Arbitration Tribunal.

He had claimed that the decision was unfair and mounted a challenge in the High Court.

But judge Sir Michael Burton has ruled against him after a hearing in London.

The occupants of this car had a VERY lucky escape, external when they got out just minutes before it exploded on the M6. 

A woman whose sister was killed in the Birmingham pub bombings says difficulty in securing legal funding ahead of reopened inquests amounts to "an imbalance" of justice.

Julie Hambleton lost her sister Maxine in the 1974 blasts in which a further 20 people died and, at a pre-inquest hearing this morning, coroner Peter Thornton QC backed the funding fight of families who were knocked-back in efforts to have their legal fees covered and legal aid secured.

Three police officers have denied giving a false account to investigators after the death of a Birmingham man who was detained under mental health laws.

Kingsley Burrell, 29, died after suffering a cardiac arrest in 2011.

PCs Paul Adey, 36, Mark Fannon, 45, and Paul Greenfield, 50, denied perverting the course of justice and perjury.

They are alleged to have given a false account when being interviewed during an inquiry by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).

Julie Hambleton whose sister Maxine was killed in the Birmingham pub bombings has attended the first pre-inquest hearing ahead of reopened proceedings into the deaths of 21 people.
