The weather for the West Midlands.

We'll be back with our usual mix of news, sport, travel and weather from 08:00 tomorrow, but keep an eye out here for more updates this evening and into the morning.   

Hereford FC have announced John Mills and Pablo Haysham have both agreed new deals at Edgar Street for next season.

Mills was last season's top scorer with 52 goals in 53 appearances while Haysham netted 29 times as the Bulls completed the Midland Football League and Cup double as well as reaching the FA Vase final at Wembley.

Hereford now have 12 players signed on for what will be their debut season in the Southern League Division One South and West.

More on the story about David McGreavy who murdered three young children and impaled their bodies on railings in the 1970s - he's being considered for release.

Robin Walker, MP for Worcester, says he's written to the Ministry of Justice to outline his concerns over McGreavy's possible parole.

He said: "This is a case that has taken place over decades now and this is one of the longer cases where someone has been in prison for a very, very long period of time.

“Of course there has to be some sort of judicial process to check on that…. but I appreciate the concern that that causes and the distress that that causes and I know it causes distress for all the families involved."
