This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies and me, Dominic Heale. | :00:06. | :00:08. | |
Our top story tonight: An official report blames police | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
officers, and lawyers for the collapse of a major climate change | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
trial. Activists planned to storm a power | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
station but the presence of this undercover policeman scuppered the | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
case against their and. Also, the family is driven to | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
despair caring for disabled relative so. | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
One question that goes over in your mind, what happens when I die? What | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
happens when I die? Who will look after you? | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
Plus, how Rolls-Royce defied the downturn are, engineering 800 jobs | :00:47. | :00:51. | |

in the East Midlands want a puppy for Christmas. Meanwhile, Dogs | :00:55. | :00:59. | |

Good evening. Welcome to Tuesday's programme. First tonight, the | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
prosecution of climate activists who tried to shut down Ratcliffe | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
power station has been heavily criticised in an official report. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
The cases collapsed because their lawyers weren't told about evidence | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
from Mark Kennedy, an undercover policeman embedded with the | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
protestors. Today it's emerged that he was actually authorised to break | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
the law by a senior Nottinghamshire Police officer. It's also been | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
revealed that a Nottingham based prosecution lawyer's being | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
disciplined over what happened. Let's cross to Ratcliffe power | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
station, and our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Good evening. This is the power plant at the | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
heart of this case and you will remember that more than 100 climate | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
activists were arrested hours before they were planning to try to | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
break in here and shot him down. Today, this official report found | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
they should never have been prosecuted because secret | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
undercover police recordings could have helped their defence case. | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
It was a trial that made headlines around the world. It is a year | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
since 20 activists were convicted by a jury in Nottingham but they | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
didn't get a fair trial because the lawyers were not told about crucial | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
evidence from the policeman that had him for trotted them. PC Mark | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
Kennedy was arrested with the others in a school in Nottingham. | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
These officers didn't know he was a fellow policeman but today's | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
inquiry revealed that Nottinghamshire's Chief Constable | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
had given him authorisation to make recordings and break the law, | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
including criminal damage and aggravated trespass. The protesters | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
could have argued it was a entrapment. The report from Sir | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
Christopher Rose says there was a number of individuals and the | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
police were too focused on protecting an undercover source, | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
there was no effective communication between the CPS and | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
the police and the prosecution's reviewing Moya didn't read Mark | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
Kennedy's evidence. The Ratcliffe prosecution collapsed because of | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
mistakes not because of conspiracy and there was no deliberate attempt | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
to suppress Mark Kennedy's evidence. It is recommending new guidance. | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
There were serious concerns identified by today's inquiry but | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
is anybody carrying the can? At least one of the main players is | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
facing disciplinary action. He is Ian Cunningham, the senior | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
prosecution lawyer. Today's report says he had the prime | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
responsibility for that evidence not been disclosed and the Attorney | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
General has been discussing the implications of this case. | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
Any response from Nottinghamshire Police? | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
They are not allowed to talk in detail at the moment because there | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
is another official report into their role coming out the next few | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
weeks but we have had a statement from Julia Hodson and she says that | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
lessons have been learned by the force and she is pleased no one has | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
been found to have acted dishonestly, but these errors have | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
been very costly. A multi-million- pound police operation and at the | :04:24. | :04:30. | |
end of it almost criminal conviction. | :04:30. | :04:40. | |
:04:40. | :04:41. | ||
I spoke to the Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer QC. I | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
asked if he was shocked by the report's conclusions. | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
allegations the CPS had suppressed evidence. Sir Christopher Rose has | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
found that was not the case and I broken that because the integrity | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
of the Prosecution Service is important. He did find individual | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
failings, that is of a different order. And I am determined to put | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
in place measures to make sure that they are not repeated. The main | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
allegation, which was serious wrongdoing by the CPS, has been | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
found to be not the case by Sir Christopher Rose has. You are | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
starting disciplinary action against a reviewing lawyer, Ian | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
Cunnigham, what should he have done differently? Sir Christopher Rose's | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
findings were clear, he didn't ask enough questions of the police and | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
he didn't double-check disclosure when he should have done. They are | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
individual failings and I have agreed the disciplinary process | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
should be started and I should not comment on him until that process | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
is thorough. How significant of these findings, particularly in the | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
way that undercover officers are dealt with? The most important | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
thing is to treat today as a watershed. What needs to be | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
absolutely clear from here on in it is that in all cases, concerning | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
undercover officers, the authorisation and the activity of | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
the officer must be shared with the Prosser QC and as soon as a | :06:13. | :06:21. | |
prosecution is contemplated. -- must be shared with the prosecution. | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
I have written to the ACPO to put in an understanding to make that | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
absolutely clear. We will go a long way to dealing with the problems in | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
this case if we do that. Thank you. It's been confirmed that the Notts | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
County striker Lee Hughes was arrested over the weekend on | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
suspicion of sexual assault. It follows an incident at a hotel in | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
Croydon on Saturday night. Hughes was taken to a South London police | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
station but has since been released on bail pending further | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
investigations by police. A drug dealer who distributed | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
heroin and crack cocaine across Nottinghamshire has been jailed. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
24-year-old Courtney Voce was the manager of a lucrative drug dealing | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
business in Radford. He operated it from an unregistered pay-as-you-go | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
mobile phone arranging deals across Nottinghamshire. He was jailed for | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
seven years. Still to come on the programme: | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
The charity spending �7 million on a halfway house for dogs. It's a | :07:21. | :07:24. | |

this Christmas, it's unlikely to be Next tonight, a jobs boost in Derby | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
from a big name that's always stood for engineering excellence. Despite | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
the gloomy outlook in some parts of the economy, Rolls-Royce has | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
increased its workforce in the city by around 800 people. Mike | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
O'Sullivan explains how they've done it. | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
It is an economic powerhouse for Derby and for the region. Now | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
Rolls-Royce has added another 800 people to its workforce in the city. | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
In a year. Rolls-Royce didn't want to be interviewed its increased | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
offer work for saying it tries to recruit talented people | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
consistently but those that have observed this company closely save | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
the job figures are hugely important. It means another boost | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
of high-value, high-quality jobs. And the supply chain that supplied | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
this job so it is important news. Rolls-Royce says top 1,000 people | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
now work for the company in Derby. And around one in 11 workers in the | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
city are directly employed by them. It has claimed more staff at Rolls- | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
Royce means a significant spin-off for the local supply chain. Their | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
estimate suggesting that for every job there are 4-5 in the supply | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
chain, so it is a multiplier effect. So 800 jobs for Dobbie will mean | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
another times for, times five number of jobs for the local | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
economy and UK manufacturing. Rolls-Royce has a worldwide | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
reputation for making aero engines and it has won huge contracts over | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
the last year. It is also a centre for marine and nuclear power plants. | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
It provides top-quality skills, a level of employment, a good quality | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
employment that, to a certain degree, with in the manner pack | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
drink areas that we have got his world-class. Most of the growth is | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
coming from the jet engine business and Rolls-Royce sees many more | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
orders coming from the Asian markets. | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
Next tonight, the Nottingham mother driven to the edge, tempted to end | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
her own life as she tried to cope with her son's severe disability. | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
But a charity says Michelle Harrison is not alone. A survey by | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
Contact A Family reveals that three quarters of families with disabled | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
children are depressed. One in five suffer a family breakdown. Sarah | :10:07. | :10:16. | |
Sturdey reports on how Michelle found a way out. | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
Peter was born autistic with life- threatening diabetes and needs | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
blood tests every four hours. you come to the table? In the | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
summer, Peter refused to eat. After 20 years of trying to cope, this | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
single mum reached breaking point. I kept ringing people up and saying, | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
please help me, he is going to die. You wouldn't leave a child with me | :10:41. | :10:49. | |
if you didn't -- if I didn't wash or feed them. I need help. A survey | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
by the charity says that almost three-quarters of families with | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
disabled children suffer from mental health problems and almost | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
half a vast for anti-depressants or cancelling with one in five | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
experiencing family breakdown. Two- thirds of parents surveyed suffer | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
as a nation must have the time, worrying about the future. Any drug | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
that has got such massive needs and such disabilities, there is one | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
question that goes over in your mind - what happens when I die? Who | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
will look after you? Who will do this? No one will do this job. And | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
you think, if I am going to go, I am going to take you with me. | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
family is part of a national pilot scheme providing extra support but | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
Michelle fears for others in a similar situation still desperate | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
for help. Without this help, without this package, I don't know. | :11:45. | :11:54. | |
Maybe the would have gone to the Humber Bridge and maybe Pete would | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
be in residential. It would not have been good for. | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
A short time ago I spoke to Srabani Sen, Chief Executive of Contact a | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
Family, and I began by asking her how unusual cases like Michelle and | :12:03. | :12:12. | |
her son were. Michelle is not an isolated case. | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
The research has shown that two- thirds of families with disabled | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
children fill their isolated either all the time or some of the time | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
and it is leading to devastating consequences like poor mental | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
health, anxiety and depression and one in five families break up | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
because of these pressure is. extreme feelings of suicide? It is | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
unsurprising that people feel extreme feedings of emotion because | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
they are under pressure, financial pressures, not enough services to | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
support them, and 50% of the family's say they face | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
discrimination. What should local authorities do to help us back | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
local authorities really need to do two things. Firstly protect | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
services for disabled children and they need to assess the needs of | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
the carers, the families looking after these disabled children so | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
these families can continue to do the fantastic job they do to get | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
for their children. Briefly, if somebody is watching and is in a | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
desperate state, what should they do? If families are feeling | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
desperate, it is crucial they reach out either to their local services | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
or national services like Contact A Family because you cannot struggle | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
on your own and there is help, it is crucial that you get it. Thank | :13:33. | :13:43. | |
you for speaking to us. The children putting puppy at the top | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
of their Christmas list and the charity waiting to go before lot of | :13:49. | :13:56. | |
it. Dogs Trust is currently building one of the country's | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
biggest re-homing centres in Leicestershire. But, before it | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
opens, they're visiting schools to try to teach children what it's | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
really like to have a new four legged member of the family. Jo | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
Healey reports. Please may I stroke your doctor? | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
The first thing he is going to do is many of. | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
Teaching the art of dog care thanks to the charity Dogs Trust. Is the | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
message getting through? He will smile your hand, your | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
feet... It is important to look after the dog because if you don't, | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
the dog could get injured, get hungry. You have got all the | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
responsibilities to walk the dogs twice a day. It is really important | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
to look after your dog even when it has done one of these. He you have | :14:39. | :14:47. | |
to pick it up and put it in a back. The workshop here is paving the way | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
for a massive new re- homing centre. Covering 14 acres, costing �7 | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
million, it will be one of the biggest in the country. It will | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
make a huge difference, allowing us to look after 150 dogs at any one | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
time and potentially we home 1,000 dogs. We have been proud of what we | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
have achieved and it will be a supreme dog welfare. Dogs Trust | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
never puts healthy dogs like these down but local authorities have two | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
and the number being destroyed is higher than at the. Here are the | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
figures showing just how the number of dogs being put down has risen in | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
the last year alone. Nearly a third of children in our region want a | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
puppy for Christmas. Dogs Trust did that survey, that is why it is | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
working here as well as at the sharp end with dogs that needs new | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
:15:52. | :15:54. | ||
homes. Some very lovely dogs. | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
With the rush on to get ready for Christmas, it can be a very busy | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
time. But for some it can be a very lonely month. In the second part of | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
our look at carers, we meet those volunteers who visit older people | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
in their own homes. The befriending scheme in | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
Leicestershire and Rutland is run by just 21 people and is in | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
desperate need or more helpers. Our reporter Jonathan Cecil has been to | :16:12. | :16:20. | |
meet one volunteer, and one of the pensioners she regularly visits. | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
This is DEC, 90 years old and lost his wife six years ago. He spent | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
most of his week alone. I asked him how he spends his time. Sitting | :16:30. | :16:40. | |
here. Doing what? Nothing. To date is a Lesley day. Hi, Dick. Hello. | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
Nice to see you. She is a part-time volunteer who comes to visit Dick | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
once a week. She chats, offers company and offer support. She is | :16:51. | :16:59. | |
part of the scheme. It helps me, and it makes me come. Lesley is one | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
of 21 volunteers in Rutland and they also help each other. They | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
regularly meet to share their experience is. If somebody says | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
something like you, I wanted to keep this a secret, then, obviously | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
that is a no-go area. I love it because they have so many lovely | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
stories to tell. It is also a very satisfying experience to be able to | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
help people even in the rather ordinary things of life. It is very | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
rewarding and there are so many lonely people that never get out of | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
their houses. They sit there all day, maybe 12 hours a day, never | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
see anybody. Must be some distressing for them. The scheme is | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
looking for more volunteers. It is an hour of company and friendship | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
that can make all the difference. When people are alone like myself, | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
it is wonderful for. Just an hour of your time. Amazing | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
scheme. Still to come on the programme: | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
Fight night. We look ahead to one of the biggest events in the | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
martial arts calendar. And the taste of Christmas in an ice-cream. | :18:09. | :18:19. | |
:18:19. | :18:27. | ||
I like ice-cream. Oh... Really? Time for the sport. | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
First tonight, as we speak, rugby's disciplinary committee is debating | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
whether Leicester Tigers Alesana Tuilagi should be banned followed | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
his red card on Saturday. He was sent off for throwing punches after | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
being dragged off the field by his hair. But TV replays seem to show | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
he never swung a fist. The hair- puller, Northampton's Chris Ashton, | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
was cited after the game, and also being disciplined today. But Tigers | :18:51. | :19:01. | |
:19:01. | :19:02. | ||
coaches don't want sanitised rugby. Hair-pulling, it is unusual, but | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
everybody has a bit of his bar, is at the end of the world? Probably | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
not. What do you think that happened after that, it is the | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
flash point and it has happened. Former Loughborough runner Paula | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
Radcliffe has become one of the first athletes to be named in the | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
British team for the London Olympics. She's been selected today | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
for the marathon. The 37-year-old's inclusion makes Radcliffe only the | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
third British athletics competitor ever to be selected for five | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
Olympic Games. She'll be hoping to avoid the injuries and illness | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
which ruined her chances in Beijing and Athens. | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
Well, earlier this year, Gemma Steel from Whitwick near | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
Loughborough beat Paula in a road race. Now Steel's all set to | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
compete for Britain in the European Cross Country Championships this | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
weekend, where she has an outside chance of a medal. The 26-year-old | :19:48. | :19:55. | |
also tells us she's aiming for a place in the team at the Olympics. | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
One of the biggest events in mixed martial arts comes to the East | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
Midlands this weekend. Nottingham Arena hosts BAMMA 8. That means | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
some of the country's top fighters are in action and Jeremy Nicholas | :20:06. | :20:16. | |
:20:16. | :20:18. | ||
has been to see some of them prepare. This is the British | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
Association of mixed martial arts, BAMMA 8. Nottingham has been a | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
hotbed for the sport and a big event has come to the arena. They | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
should have had an event here long ago. It is perfect especially with | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
all the guys we have got out of love to and Nottingham, Dan Hardy, | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
guys like that. Deane has a degree in nutritional biochemistry in | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
Nottingham and plays the saxophone and piano, not something you would | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
expect in such a brutal sport. thing is, you used brutal, but at | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
the end of the day, the sport is the combination of Olympic combat | :20:53. | :21:03. | |
:21:03. | :21:04. | ||
sport. For me, it was a boxer and a wrestler, and we saw crew would one. | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
Jimmy has �14 to lose by way in. So, three days, you are going to lose a | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
stone? Years. Eating salad as well. And more salad. And salad and | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
plenty of trips to that toilet. Because it is in a cage, BAMMA 8 | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
has a reputation but there are rules and the pages therefore | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
protection. No gouging, no biting, no head-butting. No striking to the | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
back of the head. You cannot elbow from the ceiling downwards on | :21:36. | :21:46. | |
:21:46. | :21:47. | ||
someone's head. The cage is there, it actually keeps the fighters in | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
an enclosed space and nobody gets damaged. If you are in a ring, you | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
could fall out. Dean, Jimmy and on freight are on the bill when BAMMA | :21:59. | :22:07. | |
8 comes to Nottingham on Saturday night. I went to take a look when | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
it was in Manchester and it was quite an event for. | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
I remember your excitement. Over the next three weeks, students | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
from Loughborough Hospitality College will be making Christmas | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
cakes. A standard thing for the festive period but these cakes, 150 | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
to be exact, are being made for the troops in the 2nd Battalion the | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
Rifles, who are currently deployed in Helmand. Each fruit cake will be | :22:26. | :22:36. | |
iced and individually personalised with the soldiers' names. The task | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
went from a three hour session, to three four hours sessions. They | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
have got to be ready by 23rd December. We had to wait out the | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
ingredients, put them in the oven. Two hours. Next week, we are icing | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
and the week after, packaging. is lovely. | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
What a lovely idea. And here's another one. Christmassy ice creams | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
and mulled wine sorbets. They're selling like hot cakes at the | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
Bluebell Dairy at Spondon in Derbyshire. My destination for the | :23:05. | :23:15. | |
:23:15. | :23:23. | ||
second in our mini series on This is Bluebell Dairy. They have | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
been since the 1950s. Three years ago, they got into ice cream in a | :23:29. | :23:39. | |
:23:39. | :23:40. | ||
big way. It started with this stuff. And her. So we have come inside | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
from the colt into this lovely shop and rosemary, one of the owners is | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
with me. It is one -- it is freezing, this is not the best time | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
to be selling ice-cream for. have got a lot of ice -- Christmas | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
flavours. They are absolutely Fabulous for Christmas tie him. | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
This is what they call the ice- cream Lab, appropriately, because | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
it is scientific. And here, the chief scientist himself, Oliver. | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
You are creating beautiful ice- creams and sorbets. You are going | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
to made a mulled wine soar by a. put it in here, which will freeze | :24:18. | :24:28. | |
:24:28. | :24:28. | ||
it. A lovely smell. Yes, a lovely smile for this time of the morning! | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
-- a lovely smell. Five minutes later, it is a bit of a minor | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
miracle. Red wine has been turned into sorbate. How did you get that | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
lovely consistency? We add a special am also fire and stabalise | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
are to hold the red wine in and we get the right balance of sugars | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
which keeps the doubly consistency. You wouldn't think that a Derry | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
would, if you like, do so well in the Christmas period, but you have | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
diversified. We have. Only four or five years ago, there was a | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
question whether or not the farm would survive and now it has given | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
a future for the whole family, which is lovely. It is the sweet | :25:12. | :25:22. | |
:25:22. | :25:24. | ||
taste of success. I am looking So, now the proof of the pudding | :25:24. | :25:34. | |
:25:34. | :25:37. | ||
really is in the eating. Oh... Ode... Bow... 0... | :25:37. | :25:46. | |
Oh, stop! I was Frankie Howard for a moment. It was lovely. I couldn't | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
bring you any because it would have melted. | :25:49. | :25:57. | |
I would have paid good money to see you in one of those hairnets. | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
Weather-wise, we have got quite a few things in store. It has been | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
cold. Staying breezy overnight and we will see some showers blowing | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
through mainly rain although the Peak District could see some | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
flurries of snow. Barry Jones was golfing at hoarsely Llodra today. | :26:19. | :26:29. | |
:26:29. | :26:29. | ||
This photo was taken at 9:00am this morning. Look at those clouds. I | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
imagine a fair amount of snow came out of those clouds this morning. | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
We have a couple of France coming in from West to East. The second of | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
which brought in some showery outbreaks. We will see a further to | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
the North West to go, the more you will see snow later on into the | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
evening and overnight. Temperature- wise, not quite as cold as last | :26:53. | :27:00. | |
night, so three or four. Those snow showers continuing through the | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
early morning in the Peak District and then we will see rain showers | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
trickling in through the day but they should be dry and sunny were | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
the tomorrow. Still a windy day tomorrow. Gusting at 60 miles per | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
hour, feeling bitterly cold. Even though the temperatures not faring | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
too badly, with a maximum of seven. The temperatures get milder still | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
into Thursday but also Thursday brings the potential for snow, | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
mainly over Derbyshire, coming in later on through Thursday after | :27:32. | :27:35. |
