This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and me, Anne Davies. | :00:04. | :00:08. | |
Our top story tonight: The mum who died days after a | :00:08. | :00:17. | |
gastric band operation. Out inquest hears Clare White had struggled | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
with her wait for years before opting for surgery. | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
I am tributes act school for a six- year-old boy who drowned with his | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
grandmother in a lake. He simply loved life. He tackled everything | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
with enthusiasm. And boxer Carl Froch backtracks | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
over claims he deliberately prolonged this title fight. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
comments I made in hindsight, I shouldn't have said. But it was a | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
throwaway comment. And bowing out at 92, but is there | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
:01:03. | :01:08. | ||
Good evening. First tonight, she was so desperate to lose weight, | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
but the surgery that she hoped would finally sort out her obesity | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
problems ended up taking her life. Clare White was 37 when she died | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
from a blood clot after undergoing an operation to fit a gastric band | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
at the Royal Derby Hospital. An inquest into her death was held | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
today. Our health correspondent Rob Sissons was at that inquest and | :01:28. | :01:38. | |
:01:38. | :01:42. | ||
joins us now. Rob, why did she want this surgery? | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
Good evening. She tried with diets, but always ended up putting the | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
weight back on. She tried medication. So she turned to the | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
Royal Derby Hospital for gastric surgery, to try and finally lose | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
weight. She leaves a widow were and three children. It has left a huge | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
hole in their lives, the fact that there were complications following | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
the operation and that she sadly died. What was the evidence from | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
the Royal Derby Hospital? Here at the Royal Derby Hospital they have | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
developed and regional centre for of the city surgery. They have done | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
hundreds of these operations. Paul leader, the consultant who carried | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
out the operation, said his theory was maybe the gastric band had | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
caused tiny porous, not visible to the naked eye, that would have let | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
bacteria from the gut travel to another part of the body and cause | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
infection. The post-mortem examination that was carried out | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
following her death revealed she died of a blood clot, but she did | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
not feel well in the days after the operation and ended up in intensive | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
care before her condition went downhill. So, a complicated case. | :02:58. | :03:07. | |
And one that is not quite finished? No, her widower, Craig, had lots of | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
questions, he found it very complicated. He said his brain was | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
being fried by the evidence. He was obviously -- was obviously a | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
complex case and the coroner himself as a manager and the case | :03:19. | :03:27. | |
after killing all the evidence. He will deliver his verdict on Friday. | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
Next tonight, a 6-year-old boy who drowned has been described by his | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
head teacher as someone who simply loved life. The bodies of the boy | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
and his grandmother were pulled from a lake in Lincolnshire. Police | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
say inquiries are continuing, but there are no suspicious | :03:41. | :03:51. | |
:03:51. | :03:51. | ||
circumstances. Helen Astle reports. After the shock, come the questions. | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
But what happened here, we may never truly know. But we do know at | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
grandmother and her six-year-old grandson lost their lives at this | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
late in Lincolnshire. This afternoon, the police named the | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
pair as Don Molineux and Laurence Marlet me Mills. It is thought they | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
may have got to view the ducks on their way to their home in kept it. | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
This morning, the boy's head teacher pay tribute to him. He was | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
such a special little boy. He simply loved life. He tackled | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
everything with enthusiasm. He relished the challenge, he had a | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
wonderful sense of humour. He was chatty, sociable, and he had | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
impeccable manners. He just loved everything about school and he | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
would run to get here every morning. Meanwhile at the village church, | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
Campbells are being let and prayers being said. I visited the family | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
yesterday and found them in terrible grief. As we would expect. | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
They are an open and from the household, people have been coming | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
and going. I think the family are aware what a friendly and | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
supportive village and a delightful school he attended. We have had a | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
special assembly for the children and they know that they can speak | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
with any one of us at any time if they have any questions. Throughout | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
the day, people have been coming here to pay tribute to Laurie and | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
his grandmother. Many locals have been visibly upset, saying because | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
of with his family, who lived just up the road from here. For Laurie's | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
Mann, she has lost her mother and her six-year-old son. And she may | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
never know why. Nottinghamshire Police have been | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
severely criticised for failing to give proper care to a teenager who | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
died in custody. The family of Reece Staples called it incredible | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
that four different police officers ignored the teenager when he told | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
them he had swallowed packets of cocaine and feared he would die. | :05:51. | :06:01. | |
:06:01. | :06:03. | ||
Sarah Teale reports. The father of Reece Staples led the | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
inquest today, saying he could not come to terms with the fact that | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
his dying son was denied vital medical assistance. Reece died in | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
police custody after a cocaine packet Burston his stomach. He had | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
smuggled that drugs from Costa Rica and the day after he arrived back | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
in this country he was arrested for a different defence and taking to | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
the police station. Four different officers ignored him when he told | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
them he had swallowed drugs. He collapsed are as later in the cells | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
and died on arrival at hospital. Thus, the officers eliminated at a | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
stroke the possibility of his survival through hospital treatment | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
and surgery. Had he only received medical help, at least he would | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
have had a fighting chance of life. The inquest heard that Reece would | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
have died anyway, because his cocaine levels were so high. But an | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
Independent Police Complaints Commission reports criticised | :07:04. | :07:14. | |
:07:14. | :07:17. | ||
Five police officers have since been disciplined for gross | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
misconduct, but the inquest heard that staff have not received | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
training on guidelines introduced in 2007, stating that anyone | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
suspected of swallowing drugs should be given immediate medical | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
treatment. The jury returned a verdict of death by misadventure. | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
The coroner said he was confident that the police had changed their | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
practices to make sure that frontline officers were aware of | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
what to do is something similar happens again. | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
So, why weren't frontline officers trained to follow guidelines put in | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
place two years before Reece Staples died? Well, that is the | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
question our chief news reporter Quentin Rayner put to | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
Nottinghamshire's Assistant Chief Constable, Paul Broadbent. | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
I am absolutely not satisfied, that that is a feeling on the force, | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
they did make -- did not make sure officers were aware of the | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
guidelines, both personally in writing and having received a | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
briefing. Obviously, back for the, there have been no deaths of a | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
similar nature since the time of Reece's death. But why did it take | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
a further two years for all frontline officers to receive the | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
training? Reece died in June 2009. Within a short time, the attention | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
of officers was brought to the existence of the policy, and a | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
short time after that, with the IPCC recommendations came out, a | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
formal briefing was delivered. So there was a lot on between his | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
death and the time that that training was completed. What | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
aspects of the five officers response alarmed you the most? | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
guess it was the fact that a number of the officers were told by Reece | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
that he had taken some drugs, and foreign number of reasons, all | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
those officers did not respond as quickly as they should have done. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
We are presented with people on a daily basis who tell us lies. If | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
they told us the truth all the time, maybe they would not be as much | :09:19. | :09:27. | |
crime. But unfortunately, or five officers should have, between them, | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
Dr but Reece had told them and should have taken more decisive | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
action and for that, I apologised. Still to come on the programme: | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
Water levels on the slide. As the Government issues drought warnings, | :09:37. | :09:47. | |
:09:47. | :09:51. | ||
we have the latest aerial views of Lots of controversy today around | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
the sport of boxing, and our own Carl Froch is right in the middle | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
of some of it. It is because of a live interview he gave to BBC Radio | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
Nottingham. In it, he said he could have finished his 2005 Commonwealth | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
title defence against Ruben Groenewald in the 4th round. | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
Instead, he deliberately avoided doing so because of bets placed on | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
him finishing it in the 5th. Let's hear what exactly Carl said to | :10:18. | :10:28. | |
:10:28. | :10:28. | ||
Robin Chipperfield about trying to end the fight in a particular round. | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
I have done it a more than one occasion and it was right fight, | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
but that is not illegal. I can say, I ended to stop him in round five, | :10:37. | :10:47. | |
:10:47. | :10:47. | ||
if I am good enough to do that, fair enough. My friends,... Again | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
say if I'm good enough to step on the gas to stop it, that is my | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
privilege. That is what I did in this particular fight at the Arena. | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
But the problem with that is, I held him up in round four. It was | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
there for the taking and they held them up. I could have got done | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
myself in round four. Well, Colin Hazelden has been | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
following all of this. It sounds controversial to me, has it been? | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
It's certainly had plenty of attention. Lots of reaction in | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
places like Twitter and the most read story on the BBC website for | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
most of this morning. It's not actually the first time Froch has | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
said something along these lines. He made less direct comments about | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
this immediately after the fight and in his autobiography. But, as | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
one expert pointed out to me, because of cricket's scandals, | :11:26. | :11:35. | |
times have changed. External perceptions are everything. No one | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
wants to call suspicion down on themselves. Just think before | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
speaking, in many respects. We think carefully about the | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
consequences. Carl Froch said clearly he had not gambled, so he | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
had done nothing wrong. But it is not as simple as that. | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
So what's Carl Froch had to say today? | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
He's been all over the media, mostly talking about the brawl | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
between Haye and Chisora you may have seen on the news. And of | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
course, he's been asked about what he said. A "throwaway comment" not | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
to be taken seriously is his line. I think it has been flagged up | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
because of the cricket issue. But in hindsight, I should not have | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
said that throwaway comments which are set on the radio. A fight | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
prediction is what it is. It is something fighters are like to do, | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
to generate media attention. That is basically all I did. | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
Will it end here, do we think? It looks like it. The British | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
Boxing Board of Control say they've spoken to Carl, who's explained the | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
comments. They think it's an old story. It will get discussed at the | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
next meeting, but certainly, the indications we're getting is that | :12:39. | :12:48. | |
Police believe a body which was found in Leicestershire yesterday | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
is that of missing man Stuart Taylor. Officers were called to | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
fields at Foxton near Market Harborough yesterday afternoon. The | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
discovery was made by a dog-walker. Stuart Taylor was last seen in | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
December and enquiries are continuing. | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
Thieves used a mechanical digger to carry out a ram-raid on a cash- | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
point at a Co-op store in Leicestershire. The digger was | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
stolen from a farm in Long Clawson and then rammed into the Co-op at | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
Asfordby at around 4am this morning. The cash-machine was damaged. It's | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
not clear how much money was stolen. The thieves escaped in a red pick- | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
up truck. Charities in the East Midlands tell | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
us more people than ever before are relying on food parcels to make | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
ends meet. Many can't afford to heat and eat. As Marie Ashby | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
reports, food parcels have now become a lifeline for some people | :13:35. | :13:45. | |
who you wouldn't expect to be living hand-to-mouth. | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
Joseph's Storehouse In Love produced hub around a dozen people | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
when it opened its doors three years ago. -- in Loughborough | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
helped around a dozen people. Now they help thousands the. Sudden | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
changes in circumstances and redundancies have proved more | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
people on to the breadline. We are seeing more and more of the people | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
who you and I would pass in the street and never think they would | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
have to come somewhere like this. It is a very humbling thing for | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
people to have to come here. It is really a matter of circumstances | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
for me and with my daughter being special needs, and then my wife | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
contracting an enormous. I have had to rely on income support. It has | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
been very helpful. All this food at FareShare's new depot in Leicester | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
would have ended up in landfill. Instead, it is shared out between | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
charities around the city. Three years ago, they distributed 40 tons. | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
That has trebled. Over the last four quarters, we have distributed | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
over 120 tons of food. You think of the articulated lorries we see on | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
our roads each day, that the equivalent of killing six of those | :15:00. | :15:10. | |
:15:10. | :15:10. | ||
completely. -- that is equivalent to filling. This couple said they | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
could not survive without their food parcels. FareShare says it is | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
expanding to meet demand. There's more on this on tonight's | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
Inside Out programme here on BBC One at 7.30pm, along with a profile | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
of an East Midlands environmentalist who's enlisting | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
the help of local school children to help save the coral on the other | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
side of the world. Still to come on the programme, the | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
Foxes snare the Canaries in the FA Cup. They needed a fifth-round | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
upset in East Anglia and they got it. Now the fans are dreaming of | :15:38. | :15:48. | |
:15:48. | :15:49. | ||
The Environment Department is warning that the East Midlands is | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
at high risk of severe water shortages if the drier-than-average | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
winter continues. Anglian Water says that levels at Rutland Water | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
are worryingly low. Staff say the reservoir is under 70% capacity | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
because of two dry winters and a lack of rain last summer and spring. | :16:06. | :16:16. | |
:16:16. | :16:16. | ||
We sent Carol Hinds to check the level at one Derbyshire river. | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
It is one of the shortest but prettiest rivers in Derbyshire. | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
Villagers say the Bradford is only just recovering from one of its | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
driest summers. For water has come back again but we had virtually no | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
river -- water in the River Taw from August to December. It is | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
coming back but no where near to the extent it should be. The river | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
Bradford runs through part of the White Peak. The organisation | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
looking after the areas as low levels cannot be blamed solely on | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
the weather. His shoe such as the underground drainage and through | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
the limestone, so the loss of water in some rivers is disappearing | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
through cracks in the limestone, whether they be natural cracks or | :17:02. | :17:10. | |
due to mines. There is due to be a meeting to discuss what could be | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
the worst crisis over water levels in England since 1976. What can | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
make a difference now is starting to save water now. At the moment, | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
the river and water levels are no where near strong enough to get us | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
through the summer. We will be in trouble again this summer. That is | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
why tomorrow night, the Bradford redaction group will be meeting to | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
discuss how to protect this precious resource. -- the Bradford | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
at River action group. Time for the sport now, with Colin. | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
Some big results for us this weekend, but Notts County are | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
stealing all the headlines. They've named Keith Curle as their new | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
manager less than 48 hours after the shock sacking of Martin Allen. | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
Kirsty Edwards has more. Yes, never a dull moment! Who would | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
have thought that at the end of last week, we would be stood here | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
today talking about a new manager and Notts County. 48 hours after | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
Martin Allen's surprise sacking, former Mansfield Town boss Keith | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
Curle has been officially named as the new man in charge. He was | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
actually recommended to the club by Neil Warnock, who he worked and at | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
Crystal Palace and, more recently, at QPR. Give the guy a chance. See | :18:27. | :18:35. | |
what he can do. But he has a lot to live up to of the Martin Allen. | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
-- after Martin Allen. Both of his clubs are languishing but I will | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
give him every chance. Martin Allen's final act as manager was a | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
dismal 3-0 defeat at Hartlepool. Despite that, they're lying 11th in | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
the league positions. Not disastrous. The club are keeping | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
tight lipped saying it is being dealt with privately. Also | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
announced today, the departures of the system manager and the first | :19:08. | :19:17. | |
team coach, John Scofield. So, Keith Curle becomes their 7th | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
manager in less than two and a half years. He will be here in the dug- | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
out for the first time on Wednesday night. | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
Nigel Clough has today confirmed that Derby County are talking about | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
bringing in a director of football. But he's stopped short of welcoming | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
the idea, as Jeremy Nicholas reports. | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
Derby fans were reflecting on a 4-0 drubbing and there were reports the | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
manager was unhappy about plans to bring in a director of football to | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
work with him. It was suggested he was on a collision course with the | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
club about the appointment. We have been assured talks are taking place | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
and there has been no fall-out. But he doesn't sound too enthusiastic. | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
We are looking to improve in any way we can but we are certainly not | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
on a collision course. Anybody in training has far too much respect | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
for John. So you would welcome a director of football? No, we are | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
talking about it. Derby would not comment on speculation on who the | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
director might be but it is widely thought to be Ross Wilson from | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
Watford. That being said, forest needed to start well. The first of | :20:33. | :20:41. | |
was forgettable, however. But then this happened. It was like Forrest | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
Gump, except instead of running out of the stadium, he did a lovely | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
stepper and put the ball into the net. The goal wrapped up the points | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
and with Portsmouth dock 10 points for going into administration, | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
Nottingham Forest are out of the relegation zone. | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
And plenty more on Late Kick Off tonight at 11.05pm on BBC One, with | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
special reports on Notts County and Nottingham Forest. | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
Leicester City are into the quarter finals of the FA Cup. They'll play | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
either Chelsea or Birmingham next month and may well fancy their | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
chances, after disposing of Premier League Norwich. Paul Bradshaw was | :21:16. | :21:26. | |
:21:26. | :21:32. | ||
2.5 nearly 2,500 fans came along to see their team, and a Laurie, | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
outboxed Canaries. It is hoped the Foxes can continue their run. | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
a dream about this game before it happened. If we can get a draw, | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
take them back. Things certainly started well when this header was | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
printed in from the corner. And Leicester were on top for most of | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
the first half and would have stayed that way if not for a | :22:01. | :22:11. | |
:22:11. | :22:12. | ||
dubious penalty decision. Then the Foxes struck again. They danced | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
through the Norwich defence to set up a fifth round upset. More solid | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
defending kept Norwich out and it could have been three. Beckford hit | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
the bar late on. They were in good spirits, so a good performance. Not | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
just in terms of how we played football but in terms of how we | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
behave ourselves and how we were pleased for the players and with | :22:39. | :22:49. | |
:22:49. | :22:50. | ||
the players. A good day for the fans as well. Come on, City! | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
the fantastic FA Cup run continues for the Foxes as their campaign | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
continues. Leicester Tigers Director of Rugby | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
Richard Cockerill says he's still targetting a top-two finish. That's | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
after Tigers became the first club in over a year to win at Saracens. | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
Leicester pressure in the second half finally resulted in an an Ed | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
Slater try to put them one point in the lead. But a Saracens penalty | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
set up an exciting finish, with Leicester working the ball back to | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
Geordan Murphy, who's drop-kick sealed victory by 20-19. | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
No such doubts about Nottingham Panthers' weekend. They beat | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
Edinburgh 9-0 last night. But the real joy was on Saturday. At home | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
in front of a sold-out arena and dishing out a 5-1 thrashing of | :23:33. | :23:42. | |
Sheffield Steelers, their biggest rivals. Fantastic! It has been a | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
busy old day! A 92-year-old bandsman is hoping to | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
retire after more than 80 years of playing. The only problem is, he | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
needs someone to take his place. Bob Taylor, from Melton, first | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
picked up a horn when he was six and has played in almost 30 bands | :23:59. | :24:09. | |
:24:09. | :24:16. | ||
He knows how to blow his own trumpet, well, bass, and he should | :24:16. | :24:26. | |
because he has had over 86 years of experience. Bob Taylor has had | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
loads of experience with the horn after picking his first one up aged | :24:30. | :24:38. | |
six. I was fascinated. What does this do? What does that do? And my | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
uncle was a bandmaster. So bass was in his blood, and since then, Bob | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
has gone on to play in more than 30 bands, even playing in London's | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
Royal Albert Hall. He started Tornado Brass almost 30 years ago | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
but he says the time has come for him to put down his music and make | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
way for somebody younger. But that might not be as easy as it sounds. | :25:02. | :25:09. | |
Locally, he is known as Mr Music, because in Milton, he has been | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
associated with music for many, many years. Fill his shoes? No. It | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
can't be done. Fill his seed? We hope so. So, has you run out of | :25:21. | :25:31. | |
:25:31. | :25:33. | ||
puff? Not quite, it seems. I want to play it again with Tornado Brass | :25:33. | :25:43. | |
:25:43. | :26:03. | ||
Well done, Bob! Absolutely! Here's They headline for the weather is | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
that temperatures are starting to rise and stay mild. Thank you for | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
this photo. Cast your mind back when we had the snow. The park had | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
to cancel their Snowdrop weekend but this weekend, it is on. | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
Temperatures are at around seven degrees on average. By Thursday we | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
expect them to be as high as 16! We are expecting a gradual increase as | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
we go through the next couple of days and that is because of getting | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
the milder air. A lot of cloud through this evening and that | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
produces a few spots of light rain and drizzle as we go through the | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
evening overnight tonight. The cloud is holding the temperatures | :26:48. | :26:55. | |
up with a low of just five degrees. A frost-free night tonight. Maybe a | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
few spots of light rain in the morning but becoming drier in the | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
afternoon and then seeing the cloud break to give some sunny spells but | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
any sunshine will be at a premium. Already starting to see those | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
temperatures rise. As we go further into Wednesday, it will be a windy | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
day and we could get gusts of up to 40 miles an hour, with outbreaks of | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
rain gradually moving east through the day. But then we get the | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
introduction of the warm air, also 15, 16 degrees on Thursday with | :27:28. | :27:33. |
