Keep an eye on the news. I am looking out of my window in Birmingham city centre UK. The police have are sirens blazing towards the jewellrey quarter area. The police helicoptor is overhead with it searchlight focussed on full beam. The only time there has been activity like this was during the evacuation two weeks ago and the arrest of the bomber the other morning.
The operation has been going for about 15 minutes... can't see exactly what is happening. More as I find it out...

OK. Show appears to be over. The chopper has gone! And I am not close enough to see if there is any activity still on the ground. I guess we will either see in the papers tommorrow that some arrests were made..... or we wont! Very interesting times we live in. It's certainly got me jumpy. I'm going to bed. But if anyone finds a link that may explain what just happened please ping me!
(thanks for all the good wishes by the way)

Thanks for the report, it is THIS kind of personal report that sometimes lets us get ahead of the MSM.
Have a good night.

Here's a link to the Beeb's radio station in/around Birmingham, Radio WM. So far they're just playing American oldies, so things sound okay.
