This is East Midlands Today. Tonight we're live from Bombardier | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
in Derby where almost 1,500 workers have been told they're to lose | :00:06. | :00:14. | |
their jobs. It's a hammer blow for the City and many are now asking | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
how long can Britain's last trainmaker survive? | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
And here in the studio, I'll be assessing the political impact, why | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
did this happen and where does Bombardier and Derby go from here? | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
My genuine anxiety is that Bombardier's will decide their | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
there is not a future for them in the UK. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
In other news tonight, a tragic accident - how the owner of the | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
King Cobra Sanctuary was killed by his own snake. | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
And holy amazing - the Cape Crusader's all flying show is | :00:48. | :00:58. | |

Good evening. Welcome to Litchurch Lane in Derby, the home of | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
Bombardier. There has been trained making in this city since the 1840s. | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
It is part of Derby's crowd engineering and industrial heritage. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
For how much longer? There are fears about this factory's short- | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
term future. Today's announcement means half of the work force here | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
will be leaving. Almost 1,400 people looking for work in | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
difficult economic times. In a moment I will be speaking to the | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
leader of Derby City Council and the man who runs this 88 acre site. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
First, a report from Mike O'Sullivan. | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
A signal from a railway man that said it all. The night shift was | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
the first to be told that 1,400 jobs were being lost at Bombardier | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
in Derby. More workers were briefed throughout the day. This is going | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
to be the end of the train building industry in Britain. Everybody is | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
doom and gloom today. I blame the Government. They gave the contract | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
to Germany. We are all upset. We feel like the Government have let | :02:16. | :02:25. | |
us down. Hoping that we get another contract. Fingers crossed. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
Bombardier says it hasn't got enough for his current workforce of | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
3,000 in Derby. Four of the five production lines come to a halt by | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
September. Two weeks ago Bombardier lost the Government's 1.4 billion | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
pound Thameslink contract to his German rival, Siemens. Today, | :02:45. | :02:53. | |
Bombardier announced 1,400 job cuts. 983 contracts staff are to go. 446 | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
permanent jobs will be lost. Many of them skilled engineers. The | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
company said, if it had won the Thameslink contract, no permanent | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
staff will be leaving at all. were the preferred bidder for | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
Thameslink, those engineers will be working on the design and, step -- | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
concept. They would be fully employed today. They would be no | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
threat to their job? No threat. Deflated, saddened. Darren Barber | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
had told me how we will affect his family. He is a staff member but | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
his son is a contract worker. Both of them could be at the job. | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
market is going to be flooded. Core staff like my itself will hang on | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
to the end. I would be last in the queue to find a job. Is there going | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
to be anything out there? I don't think so. Bombardier says contract | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
staff would have benefited from Thameslink. They would have been | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
shared out to short-term employees with the potential of having them | :03:56. | :04:06. | |
:04:06. | :04:07. | ||
back. A? Now hangs over the future of this factory. -- A? Macro hangs | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
over the future of this factory. With me is the leader of Derby City | :04:12. | :04:20. | |
Council. A black day I presume, what is your reaction? | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
devastating decision as far as Derby is concerned. Half the | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
workforce will be made redundant and the real possibility that we | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
will lose this train making site in this city, bringing to the end 170 | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
years of train manufacturing in Derby. In future, every train, tram | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
and Underground train at the UK purchases will come from abroad. | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
understand you have attempted to contact David Cameron to talk about | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
the issues. What has been this -- the response? If all I have had | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
back are to acknowledge rents of three letters. I am extremely | :05:02. | :05:11. | |
disappointed. -- and acknowledgements. Nick Clegg was | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
here with the Cabinet at describing Derby as a powerhouse of the UK. I | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
am a Conservative but those words are becoming hollow now in the | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
light of today's announcements. I am critical of the contract | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
assessment process because no economic impact assessment took | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
place as part of the evaluation of that contract. How can it be that | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
this contract is the best value for the British taxpayer if the costs | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
of making these people redundant would all stop you get a flavour of | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
the sort of political storm that is brewing over this issue. Form Ahmad | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
Khomeini he is an in the studio. -- for more on that. | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
Europe bans giving contracts on the basis of nationality. Germany | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
routinely Awards 90 % of its rare work to German workers. In France, | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
it is 100 %. John Denham, Labour's shadow business Secretary thinks we | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
have to change the way we play the game. We have to have an industrial | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
policy so we can build up our manufacturing industry. I look at | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
Germany and France and they might - - find ways of doing that. Why | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
can't we do the same? If John Hess asked Business Secretary, Vince | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
Cable, where the Government rejected Bombardier's bid in the | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
first place? In this case, the former Labour Government drew up a | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
narrow tender terms for this contract which led to the current | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
transport secretary to make the decision he did. He had no choice. | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
I don't want to minimise the fact that this is a serious play it -- | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
bloke to Derby and the workers. I want to do what I can to help. | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
Today we are setting up a task force and a senior executive of | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
Rolls-Royce to keep the skills boys together to help Derby ever come | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
this blow. I want to investigate how future public procurement can | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
operate within European walls, but at the same time it take account of | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
the importance of British suppliers. The so much for the blame game. | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
What next? What of the future. Will this damage investment in our | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
region? I have seen companies come and go at Litchurch Lane. I have | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
found Bombardier aid to be the most consistent in terms of their | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
support for the work force, investment, through lean times as | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
well as good times. I do wonder, and it would do everything I can to | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
keep the company in the UK. I think we are pushing our luck. I don't | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
think it will put people off investing because we have great | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
skills in the region. Bombardier is one of them. I don't think it will | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
put people off. However it is a blow to the region. Whatever | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
happens, no one knows tonight if it would be in time to save Britain's | :08:28. | :08:37. | |
last train builder. That now have to Dominic in Derby. -- back now. | :08:37. | :08:47. | |
With me is France's pay NASA who is president of the passenger division. | :08:47. | :08:55. | |
-- Frances Power NASA. We can't understand the decision. | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
Could she bear some responsibility in terms of losing his contract, -- | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
? We will be happy to share the blame if we know why we had lost | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
the bid. During our feet back, we were given no specific information | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
which allowed us to make that judgment. For we are hearing of the | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
BBC is hearing, there were issues raised about the cost per carriage | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
they are you offering was higher than your rivals and there were | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
problems with suppliers. Would it surprise you to know this | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
information is coming out? For I am surprised by this. The two points I | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
would make, worldwide in the last five years, when Bob RDA -- | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
Bombardier has gone with Siemens, this is the first time we have lost | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
out to them. We won 70 % of the contracts in the UK with the same | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
EU rules and the same competition. The civil servants in London over | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
saw these bids. Are they uncaring? What do you think of them? They | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
could have taken a broader view in the way the economic assessment was | :10:06. | :10:15. | |
carried out on this project. final question, has this place, | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
what is left of it, has it got a future beyond 2014 or beyond the | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
end of this year? We are not in a position where we can say. | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
Bombardier is carrying out an extensive review of our operations | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
and until that is completed, the future of the site is uncertain. | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
That is it for now from Bombardier. I will be back later in the | :10:39. | :10:49. | |
programme. Back now to the studio. It was a tragic accident, the death | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
of a man regarded as an expert in King Cobras, beaten by one of his | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
pet snakes. Luke Yeomans died -- died at his home which he turned | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
into a century for his reptiles. A coroner recorded a verdict of | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
accidental death today. A month ago, we filmed with him at his home in | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
Eastwood. Luke Yeomans dedicated his life to | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
the King Cobra. He created a sanctuary for them behind his home. | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
On 29th June, he was bitten. The inquest heard his partner, seen | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
here with the stripy top, saw him holding a hosepipe to his own. -- | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
on. She knew he had been bitten. She gave him adrenalin and tried to | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
resuscitate him but could see he was dead. The coroner said it was a | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
tragic case where a man passionate about snakes and King Cobras had | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
devoted his life to them. She read a statement from his daughter. It | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
said, dad lived for his next and was particularly passionate about | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
King Cobras. He was fully aware of the possibility he could be written. | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
I took comfort that he died doing something he loved so much. East | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
Midlands Today filmed with him in May. He spoke of his dedication to | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
his animals and how he was aware of the risks. He had been bitten | :12:13. | :12:20. | |
before. I have had a few nasty next and one or two cases where I have | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
had to get in touch with the School of Tropical medicine to advise on | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
using anti- venom. He knew the risks and thought it was worth it | :12:31. | :12:40. | |
Controversial plans for a waste incinerator in Derby are back on | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
the table. A High Court judge says that an inspector was wrong last | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
year to block the proposals for a waste tree man plant at Sinfin. It | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
followed a fierce campaigner against the plans. There will now | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
be another planning inquiry. More money than originally planned | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
could be spent redeveloping Nottingham's Broadmarsh Centre. The | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
city council says it believes up to �12 million will be spent | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
transforming it by the owners, Westfield. The first phase of an | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
estimated �500 million project involves updating Drury Hill and | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
the centre's Middle Pavement entrance. | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
Plenty more to come. We will have a soggy weather forecast. | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
And find out about some of my favourite things in Nottinghamshire. | :13:27. | :13:37. | |

It is a new era for the home of Leicester City Football Club. From | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
today, the Walkers Stadium is changing its name to the King Power | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
Stadium. The rebranding is all about the new owners and the club's | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
new Thai chairman. What do the fans make of the change? | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
They have signed some new players, it laid the new turf and for the | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
new season, there is even a new name. It has been on the shares for | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
a season, now it will be all over the ground. -- on the shirts. It | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
has become the King Power Stadium. Walkers Stadium is synonymous with | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
Leicester but obviously, King Power Stadium have new sponsors and that | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
has got to be great for the club. do not know if I am that keen on it. | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
But I will get used to it. It is a complete takeover. But as long as | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
they keep bringing the money in and the players. Will people know where | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
the King Power Stadium is? If they might think it is in Thailand. | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
club says it reflects the owner's commitment to the club and that its | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
partnership with Walkers will continue. Sponsorship of stadiums | :14:53. | :15:02. | |
never lasts for ever. The dreams for the owners is Bob them to score | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
high. We are told the stadium will be rebranded in time for the pre- | :15:07. | :15:14. | |
season friendly with Real Madrid at the end of the month. | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
Nottinghamshire's fire service could spent half-a-million pounds | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
trying to reduce its carbon for print. The county's fire authority | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
is considering installing solar panels, wind turbines and ground | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
source heat pumps in its stations. She says it would hate save money | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
in the long term. -- help save money. | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
A kerbside recycling scheme in part of Leicester is to be extended | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
across the city. Traditional green recycling boxes are being replaced | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
with orange sacks because they take a much wider range of ways. A | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
recent trial led to I 30% increase in the amount collected each week. | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
Talking about recycling, the old bat man is back and it is big. With | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
an awful lot of "kerpow" the caped crusader is on stage with a show of | :16:03. | :16:13. | |

What makes you proud of where you live? Tonight, we begin a journey | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
around our counties through the eyes of some of our local radio | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
presenters. This week, BBC Radio Nottingham's Mark Dennison tells us | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
what he thinks is the pride of the county of Nottinghamshire. | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
Today I have come to one of my favourite places in Nottingham. | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
Wollaton Hall. This is a place that everyone knows. I remember spending | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
many a happy Sunday-morning fitting the leaves in the park with my son. | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
Now he is a teenager. It is a great place for a stroll around the lake, | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
a picnic, or watching the famous deer. | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
I have been coming here for years and the great thing is, there is | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
always something new to do. On the last Sunday of each month, you can | :17:04. | :17:14. | |
:17:14. | :17:23. | ||
Welcome to Nottingham's Galleries of Justice Wright in the heart of | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
the town. A fantastic place to bring the kids. I sometimes forget | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
this place. Set in Nottingham's Centre, on the site of the Old | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
Court House and Dale, it gives a pretty authentic taste of what life | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
was like as a criminal hundreds of years ago. If you are brave enough, | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
you can take part in a mock trial, have a guided tour with all sorts | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
of outlaws and if you are really unlucky, you might end up getting | :17:51. | :18:01. | |
locked up. From incarceration, to the great outdoors. This is where I | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
love to come for some peace and quiet. The Grantham Canal. It runs | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
through three counties, some 33 miles long. You can take in | :18:14. | :18:23. | |
teashops, some fantastic pubs, you can cycle ought stroll along with | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
your dog. They are even places way you can bring a canoe and have a | :18:29. | :18:37. | |
paddle. This is the beauty of Nottinghamshire. Peace and quiet, | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
fantastic. We have all got somewhere just like this right on | :18:43. | :18:53. | |
:18:53. | :18:55. | ||
I feel quite peaceful after that. Time for sport. I am ready for | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
tomorrow afternoon at Trent Bridge. It is nice to have international | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
cricket back there. It is a must- win game for England against Sri | :19:04. | :19:11. | |
Lanka. 2-1 down. A third defeat would mean the whole one day series | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
is lost when Dent. But at Trent Bridge, there is still a spark | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
about England. After a grey start to the series, | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
two defeats mean that the Trent Bridge won their means it has some | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
drama to it. We know we have got to win the next | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
two games to win the series. I think we are more than capable of | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
doing it. We need to replicate the form we had a week ago. We need to | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
try to put the last two games to the back of our minds. We are | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
proving to people because this is why we are runners up in the World | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
Cup, but not just because we played on the sub-continent, but we are a | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
pretty good cricket team. There are some specific questions about the | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
team, for our three Nottinghamshire players. Can Stuart Broad find true | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
form? He has got a firing has about him because you need that in fast | :20:07. | :20:17. | |
bowlers. I do not want to see my bowlers stroking kittens. Will | :20:17. | :20:26. | |
cynic but I'll get a game? -- will Samit Patel get a game. Or will | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
Graeme Swann's form be matched by beating? I would rather be taking | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
winning games. I cannot argue with the way it is coming out of my hand. | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
The England goodies are being laid out at the ground. Graeme Swann | :20:46. | :20:55. | |
cannot resist bigging up his county. As a is, we are stuck with other | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
guys. I am expecting to run a big total here. It is a fantastic run | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
with a great atmosphere and the best place to play cricket in the | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
country. Home is where the heart is. It is nearly sold out at Trent | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
Bridge. Some tickets will be available on the date. As Bobby | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
Robin, they need one more win to guarantee a home quarter-final in | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
the Twenty-20. They will have to fight for it at all staff. They | :21:22. | :21:32. | |
have had a good start. -- fight for it at Worcester. | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
The Hibernian chairman has said that Forest are on dangerous ground | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
and do not have permission to speak to Colin Calderwood. Nothing to | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
negotiate, apparently. One more bit of good news from | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
Forest. Julian Bennett has joined Forest. | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
David Nugent is thought to be high on the wanted list. And Derby are | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
waiting to hear that look Bani's move to Portsmouth is complete -- 8 | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
Luke Varney. Heir result in need of European | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
Paralympic Swimming Championships to date. There has been a gold | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
medal for Nottinghamshire's Sam Hynd. In the same event, his | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
younger brother, Ollie, one silver, just three seconds behind him. We | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
will hear from both of them tomorrow. | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
We are a cracking area for sport, aren't we ate! | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
They have already been sightings for Batman films at Wollaton Hall. | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
Now it seems the Dark Knight is back but this time as part of a new | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
live stage show, all based on the original comics. It tells the story | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
of how Robin met the great trick crusader. Our reporter has had a | :22:47. | :22:57. | |
:22:57. | :22:58. | ||
sneaky peek at the signs -- behind the scenes at the rear parcels. | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
What do have all been waiting for! For the first time, the story of | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
Batman and Robin has been transformed into when Arena shows. | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
The Dark Knight, there is a 42 strong cast and they are currently | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
rehearsing in Nottingham. The story is the original Robin. How Robin | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
became Robin. We also have stuns, fights, flying, it pyrotechnics, | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
all of the things you would expect from a back now and story. -- from | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
a Batman story. The 3 D set is designed to be interactive. Where | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
would the caped crusader be without his trusted car? This one was | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
specially designs, one of Formula One's most famous car designers. | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
Even if you are not a diehard Batman fan, it is hard not to be | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
impressed. There are two Nottingham performers in the cast. One has | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
come straight after circus school to land his first big jobs. We are | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
on the stage all of the time doing something acrobatic, dancing, | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
running... It is pretty full on the whole time. Then there is the | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
gentleman the villain, the penguins. You are transfers and when you're | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
on stage into the penguins. It is quite different to what end seeing | :24:20. | :24:30. | |
:24:30. | :24:34. | ||
here. I wear a fat cigar. -- a fact suit. The show is rehearsing here | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
for one more week. It will be back in September for part of the arena | :24:38. | :24:48. | |
:24:48. | :24:49. | ||
It does look fantastic. I used to play Pac-Man and Robin with my | :24:49. | :24:59. | |
:24:59. | :25:07. | ||
We have got patchy rain overnight. It will still feel quite mild. | :25:07. | :25:17. | |
:25:17. | :25:18. | ||
Thank you for this photo. Please do send us your pictures. We have had | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
some lovely subtle days over the past two days. But an area of low- | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
pressure out in the Atlantic is slowly moving its way in. We have | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
seen an increase in cloud today. We will start to see some patchy rain | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
overnight. Some more intense rainfall across the Far East Apache | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
showers far everyone else. Overnight, the rain will turn more | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
intense before it slowly moves itself North East. Behind it, some | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
heavy showers. Feeling quite muddy overnight with a minimum | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
temperature of 13 degrees. -- Margie. On Wednesday, a chance of | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
scattered showers. Some decent sunshine across the South before | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
the showers turn more intense in the afternoon. There is a chance of | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
some thunder and event some hail at times. Temperatures reaching 20 | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
degrees. A much fresher feel to things. Quite a fresh south- | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
westerly breeze. The low pressure is staying with us into their state. | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
Quite persistent rainfall to come during the early hours of Thursday | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
but turning more sherry with some sunshine in the afternoon. On | :26:29. | :26:38. | |
Friday, it is a fairly breezy day, the chance of some showers. On the | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
weekend, more showers to come on Saturday but slowly things will | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
start to improve. The temperatures are gradually creeping up. Things | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
will turn was settled towards the end of the weekend. | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
Thank you. Let us hope that the shower stay away from Trent Bridge | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
tomorrow. For the last word on today's job cuts at Bombardier, let | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
us go back to Derby. The half completed carriage will | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
run on the Metropolitan Line in London. Many of the workers here at | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
Bombardier were dreading this morning. They knew that the news | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
would be bad but they did not quite know how bad. At least there is now | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
a certainty. Some very important questions remain. Be the government | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
have done more? Should bombard VII bear some responsibility for the | :27:27. | :27:32. |
