26/08/2011 East Midlands Today

This is East Midlands Today. Our top story tonight. Police bring in

a mobile video screen to help catch a killer. It will display images of

a man detectives need to talk to about the murder of a mother of two.

I will look at any method that will make sure the public have seen

these images sthraind the ability to ring in and give us the name of

the person who killed Caroline Coyne. Also tonight the supermarket

plans that market traders fear could put them out of business.

Plus on song at the airport as 90,000 board bank holiday flights.

And so long summer. Why do our Good evening. Welcome to Friday's

programme. And first tonight, detectives have released fresh CCTV

pictures of a suspect they want to identify in the Caroline Coyne

murder investigation. The pictures are being shown on a large mobile

screen in Nottingham tonight. Let us go straight to our reporter Mike

O'Sullivan for the latest in Mapperley. Yes, tonight the police

showing CCTV pictures of the man they are trying to trace in this

murder inquiry. On a mobile screen that will be touring parts of the

city tonight, that is the vehicle behind me. It is believed it's the

first time that this technique has been used in the Midlands. I think

we can get a closer look at those CCTV pictures that the detectives

are showing to the public on the streets. This white male was seen

on the CCTV footage in the Thorneywood area of Nottingham. The

area where Caroline was found dead five weeks ago. The police want to

speak to anyone who knows hip. Let us look now at some of the key

dates in this murder inquiry. On Saturday July 23rd Caroline's body

was found in mount, which is a road in Nottingham. She has earlier left

a family party in Arnold town centre some time after midnight.

Some days later the police irshued the CCTV footage of the last known

sighting of Caroline alive. She was trying to flag down a bus on

Portchester Road. On July 27th, the police spoke about the immediate to

find Caroline's missing pink and white size three Nike trainer, and

they showed one similar to that. On August 3rd, they released the first

CCTV images of the man they are currently trying to trace in the

Thorneywood Mount area, and on August 15th, a �20,000 reward from

Crimestoppers were announced for information leading to the

conviction of her killer. The police have been stopping cars at

night, in other parts of their investigation. Let us speak to

Detective Chief Inspector Tony Haydon, who is leading this inquiry.

What difference will showing this image of this screen tonight make

do you? It is our intention that somebody that may have seen

Caroline on the night of her death, as she passed through this area, so

it is vital that we use every opportunity to bring these images

to the public's attention. Public response has been fantastic so far,

but somebody has that extra piece of information we need. You are

using Facebook and Twitter, how you going to use that during the night?

At key points tonights at key times where Caroline was, during the

evening, we will release certain messages to the followers we have

on Twitter and Facebook, in order they might give us information, but

also bring their attention to the images as well bl. You say the

response has been good but you need more people to come forward. The

response has been fantastic. We have had lots of information. We

need that extra piece that we haven't got. Who is this man?

you very much. The police will be touring the area tonight we will

have an update on the late news. Thank you P Next, a union says a

council's decision to re-employ a senior officer, just after he has

been made redundant and paid redundancy sends out the wrong

message. That is what has happened at Leicester City council. Where

the former chief finance officer is being brought back on a short-term

contract, but Leicester's mayor says the move is the best practical

and financial solution to an urgent problem. James Roberson is in our

Leicester news room. What is the background to this? Good evening.

It goes back earlier this year, when some staff took redundancy

from lessster City Council, and in mayor one of those with the former

chief finance officer, Mark Noble. And he was one of the council's

most senior officers. But no now, because of the tough financial

climate facing the council and all East Midlands council, Leicester

has decided to re-employ Mr Noble, on a temporary contract, to help

plan for the next few financial years. But one union believes that

sends out the wrong signals. message it sends is that while lots

of people are worried about their future, whether they will have jobs

with the council, it seems on the surface that senior managers can

leave and then return at a later date. I think it send the wrong

message to the work force as a whole. So will this cost local

council taxpayers a fortune? according to the city's mayor. He

says that Mr Noble's agreed to come back on a contract, and he will be

paid 25% less than the one he left on. But the mayor believes though,

it wasn't the wisest decision in the first place, to let Mr Noble go,

back in May. I think if this particular very valuable finance

officer were to be coming back as a consultant or enhanced salary,

people would be doing more than raising eyebrow, they would be

outraged. I believe, in fact what aim getting represents excellent

value for the council, ensures I get the advice and the support I

need, and puts right what I found an astonishing decision which is

the decision to make him redundant in first place. Mr Noble will be

working full-time on a six month contract. The council hopes that in

that time, he will be able to lay the basis for significant savings

in the finances of Leicester for the next few years P We will leave

you there, thank you. A mother whose daughter was killed in a

crash on the A6 in Leicestershire is welcoming news of an extra speed

camera. It is exactly three years since Julie Holwell's daughter

Becki died close to their home in Mountsorrel. Julie has been

campaigning for a speed camera, and now the Leicestershire Road Safety

Partnership says one will be installed in the area. The thought

of it being three years ago since I last spoke to Becki, saw her, it is

just heartbreaking, it is, it is a horrible life. I life an existence

now. I haven't got a life any more. The night she was killed my life

ended as well. You are watching East Midlands Today. Coming up

later in our programme. The bank holiday break away. Thousands pack

their bags and fly off from East Midlands Airport. Next tonight, the

on ward march of supermarkets. This week we have reported on Oakham's

determination to stay supermarket free, and on claims that Grantham's

already lost the battle. Tonight, we look at Derby, the City Council

there is currently considering a number of planning applications for

new stores. Local market trader says that could be the final straw.

This Grade-II listed building in Derby has been derelict for year,

but now plans are Mr Place to improve the area by building a

large supermarket, leisure facilities and residential

properties. If you look at the site behind me known would say the area

should not be regenerated. We have to make call. If we want it

regenerated, the only offer on the table at the moment would involve a

large supermarket. And that is where we are. We have to accept

that. Already, there are almost 40 supermarkets in Derby, and planning

applications are in place for another six. It may claim to be

Britain's largest indoor market, but many of the stores stalls here

are empty and a rise in the number of supermarkets will only make

things worse. Pete has been trading here at the centre for 35 years. He

is worried about the future. We are in direct competition. Once you

shop under one roof and get everything you need there, why

bother coming anywhere else? It is driving people out of the city

centre, because the issue that when they go to supermarket, they find

most thing, clothes, food and there is no parking fees. The council in

its report says shops could lose out on �50 million a year if the

supermarkets are built. What we need to recognise is the majority

of the impact won't be taking away revenue from the city centre, what

it will be doing is churning it between the supermarkets themselves,

so they are competitive, and it will swap between the different

supermarkets. But it is little consolation for these traders who,

who fear it is only a matter of time before the shutters come down

or more businesses. Two men have been arrested in connection with

the death of a cricket fan who was attacked in knot city centre last

month. 28-year-old James Hodgkinson was attacked outside Yates's Wine

Lodge on 31st July. He had travelled from London to watch the

Test Match between England and India. A man who woke up on a beach

in Kent saying he couldn't remember anything has been identified as

being from Derbyshire. The 59-year- old man told police he thinks his

name is Frank but couldn't remember any other details. His family have

confirm who had he is. He is still being cared for at a hospital in

Kent. Now, more than 40 children have followed in the footsteps of a

boy from the East Midlands who travelled to America for cancer

treatment. You may remember three years ago Alex Baan's family had to

raise tens of thousands of pounds for his proton therapy. Now the NHS

is funding more cases, and sending record numbers of children overseas.

Our health correspondent reports P Alive and kicking. Alex has

overcome cancer twice. Three years ago his brain tumour was removed in

America, and weeks of proton therapy in Florida seem to have

worked. Have a drink please. Alex. Now mum's enjoying living, rather

than worrying about him dying. is a perfect little boy. He is

fully recovered, with no side effects. God was good to us and

answered our prayers and he is perfect. Proton therapy is designed

to kill remaining cancer cells. It is aimed at the Nuer. With some

cancers the extra degree of accuracy over radiotherapy can make

a difference, sparing healthy tissue. Now the NHS has budgeted to

send 400 patients abroad every year but there are plans too for three

yuebg proton centres. We paid �110,000 all together but it was

worth every penny. When we went back to floor dat Christmas we went

to say hell throw the people tat proton therapy centre and say thank

you. When we were there there were three or four familys from the UK.

I like playing on my book bike. I have to go into hospital, I don't

like going there though, but I have to. Alex still needs check ups, but

so far it is so good. Brilliant news P of You have noticed it has

been raining nearly all day for many of us. But some lucky ones are

jetting off to sunnier climbs. Not us sadly but more than 90,000

people are expected to travel through East Midlands Airport this

bank holiday weekend alone. We went to chat too the jet set. Coming in

out of the wet, and hoping for warm weather abroad. Thousands of people

were arriving at the airport today, the destination, anywhere with some

sun, the aim, to have a well earned rest. I need a break. I've worked

all year, and I have had odd days off, but, not a week. So I am

looking forward to it. Relaxing by the beach, and I can't wait. It is

our first holiday together. We are going to Tenerife and they are

excited. They didn't sleep all night and they were up at five

clock this morning. For some it was a chance for a last minute get away.

We booked it about four weeks' ago, just last minute thing really. We

are off to Turkey. We have never been there before. Today and this

weekend, it is set to be the busiest in the year for East

Midlands Airport and travel agents say there is a rise in last minute

bookings and people get away for summer sun. They are leaving it

late. People are coming in haven't been away so they are thinking we

want to get away. We want to escape for the summer. This is our last

opportunity, one day less holiday, and we can can can can can book

anything a, as long as the plane hasn't departed. For others they

were still working. This band is off to Italy to sing at a wedding.

# Lady hear me tonight # Because my feeling is just so

right # As we dance by the moonlight

# Can't you see, you're my delight. To weather might not look great but

it is a bank holiday and there All afternoon, we have been keeping

an eye on the state of the roads and railways. We can report that

nothing so far. Back in the East Midlands, you could be forgiven for

thinking that summer is over today. But is it really time for autumn.

Some of our trees are starting to turn, and Leeds have already fallen.

Express one per help to find out if autumn has really got in ahead of

itself. -- experts want our help. If you opened your curtains to a

downpour, you would be forgiven for thinking that water was on its way.

Weise turning brown and cream, surely signs that it is time to go

back to school. The normal pattern suggests that autumn does not

usually start until next tell a late September. We have had a

really dry summer, and that may affect autumn. Normally, the

shorter days and Cologne next of September triggered changes in the

leaves. We have asked this woman whether temperatures have been

normal. During August, the temperatures have been a little

below August. What we have seen, is that of body temperatures have been

around the 20 Celsius mark, there has been a drastic drop into the

next time temperatures, with many places dipping into single figures.

The Woodland Trust is encouraging all of us to encourage -- to visit

our it needed points. To find signs of autumn and let them know our

findings. They say they need as much evidence as possible to work

series changing colour. It may be a factor that because it has been so

dry, the trees have been wilting and it is almost like a false

bottom. A lot of leaves are falling off the tree, and people may

confuse that with true autumn, when it is not in fact often itself.

Whatever the reason, there is no escaping the fact that we are now

enjoying typical August Bank Holiday weather.

You are watching East Midlands today, still to come. It is Horst -

- its horse trials first started 50 years ago, but we have discovered a

there is a lot more to Bali. With almost 200 rooms, join me as I take

a look inside one of our greatest Elizabethan homes.

It looks nice. Do not miss it. for the sport.

Can Leicestershire become the key 20 cricket King's? We start with

football, because pride Park will be packed tomorrow, as Derby County

look to equal their best ever start to a Football League season. To do

it, they need to win five in a row and beat Burnley.

For much of last season, it is fair to say that the Derby fans did not

have much to cheer about. It could have gone better. Dismal. The one

before that, as well. We were expecting a lot, and we got nothing.

How times have changed. Tomorrow, Derby are looking to make it five

wins a bid of five. -- fibre wings at out of five. It has been an

amazing August so far for Derby. are going to enjoy it. We have been

on the other side of it, it makes it more worthwhile. Then makes you

appreciate it even more. Tomorrow, Derby will come Burnley to pride

Park. But what would they have got a someone had told them a few weeks

ago that they would be going into that game with four wins out of

force will? I would have probably applies to put them in a not house

somewhere. Getting four games and getting 12 points, and the chances

of making it 15 hours of five, that is something that no one could have

thought. The players have enjoyed being on the right side of the

results. There is a great atmosphere. When you are doing well

and people are revved up, it is nice to get that feeling.

Tomorrow's game is the last before a two-week international break. How

derby would love to go into that break with their perfect record

still intact. Next, Nottingham Forest manager

Steve McLaren says his team have some way to go before their

promotion favourites. But they are a healthy work in progress. The

Forest boss says he learned a lot watching last weekend's game

against Leicester, but says that the coming game against West Ham

will be his toughest test yet. The transfer window closes on Wednesday,

and he would like one or two new players. Will he get their? I hope

so. I want some. But a lot of things have to happen before that

is it. All we are ambitious, and we know we need one or two players. We

are trying our damned hard just to make sure it happens. Elsewhere in

the championship, Leicester City are looking for a their first home

win in the league at the King Power Stadium tomorrow. Meanwhile, in

week one, there has been confirmation of Great West are's

news -- move to testify will tomorrow. There will be full mast,

Terry of all the big games on the local BBC radio station.

Now, it has become one of the showpieces of the cricket calendar.

It is the key 20 finals at Edgbaston tomorrow, and

Leicestershire will be there. Four teams are batting it out for the

title, and the foxes are hoping to salvage their season with some

silverware. Warming up for what is going to be

quite a weekend for the foxes, it is now or never. It will be a great

day out for county cricket. The atmosphere will be amazing. For a

small club like Leicestershire, it will be a way to prove that they

can get to the final and possibly go on to win it. There has been

little to celebrate this season, the T 20 has been an exception.

have been superb in Mid T 20, so if we want to rest here, we have

arrested a little bit of the season by getting to the finals. All fully

can continue playing of the brand of cricket we have been to get us

here. Leicestershire are the only county to twice when Lady T 20

titles. The history is there, we obviously have the experience in

the changing room. What we -- there are a lot of young lads wear this

will be the biggest game they have played. They are determined to

prove their doubters are wrong. want to put things right, not

having a great season in the other formats. That gives her supporters

something to cheer for. Staying with cricket, we say

congratulations to Stuart prod and Graeme Swann, both have been named

in the ICC Test team this year. Derbyshire have been playing Essex

today, the game has been washed out so the match has been drawn.

Finally to rugby, not simply will Leicester tonight in a friendly

ahead of the new season. Kick-off at 7:45pm.

Whether any moment, all eyes on the Bank Holiday forecast.

For this week's what on gate, I have been to Burghley House in

Lincolnshire. It is best known for its Horse trials, celebrating 50

years in September. But there is more to it than just forces.

We all know it for the Horse trials, but today I am not interested in

the grounds. I am going inside the house, one of the greatest of the

This is known as the old kitchen. This is the oldest part of the

house, which dates past -- back to the 1500s. The chef used to good

schools on the wall as a warning to staff not to linger too long in

detention. And it is a weekend of culinary delights. There is a fair

at the cathedral in Leicester. He and Burghley this weekend, they are

always a fine supermarket in the grounds. That will all be cleared

away in time for the legendary horse trials from the 1st September.

Back in the house, will be head to the most spectacular run. This is

the heaven room. The Earl of Exeter appointed Antonio pareo to paint

the ceiling ser at Burghley. This is his masterpiece. -- and Claudio

by rail. This is known as hell. The ceiling - that the ceiling was

painted in the 11 sensory and when it came time to restore it, it's

too many years. If you prefer to be outdoors, there is plenty to do

this bank holiday weekend. I have arrived on a train at Stafford

manager: -- knows the railway, or marvel at these Cold War jets.

There is the would fare at Leicestershire, which showcases

some of the best wood crafts and sculpture. A sculpture to add a

burly, do not must these installations tottered around the

grounds. You never know what surprises you might find. I always

knew you could walk on water. Now then, will see fellas with joy

Now then, will see fellas with joy Debate has been a damp, soggy and

awful day. We have needed that train, so plenty of gardeners and

farmers will will be happy. We will see things drying out and turning

more sunny during the weekend. Very cloudy side - that very cloudy

skies. ENT whether pecks at her website. We can see on the pressure

truck, this is the area of low pressure which has been tracking

offers. It has brought a fair amount of rain. Very cloudy skies

over most of the UK. Clear skies to the south. That trend will continue

later on into the night, but for now though -- the outbreaks of rain

will continue. Turning more showery through the evening. And turning

mainly dry in most places during the night. Tomorrow morning,

restarts the bank holiday weekend of probably on a much brighter not.

Sunny spells through the day, but still have this chance of the

scattered showers. People through quite quickly so quite a windy day.

Temperatures up to 18 Celsius. We will see the showers are drying out

overnight on Saturday night, and then on Sunday, I pressure is

building. They are much more settled look to the bank holiday

weekend. Sunny spells, mainly dry. The temperatures still in the high

teens. We could do better with the temperatures, but at least he can

get out and about. The high pressure is over the duty on Bank

Holiday Monday. Dry with sunny spells, but it looks like the high

pressure might hang around for much of next week. We may stay on a try
