This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and Kylie Pentelow. | :00:05. | :00:07. | |
Tonight, an exclusive interview with the new manager of Nottingham | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
Forest and the chairman who's appointed him. | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
It is a dramatic return to the City ground for Billy Davies and a | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
chance to complete that unfinished business. I am absolutely delighted | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
to be back, delighted to work with the new Warners, and very much | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
looking forward to try my very best to achieve what we never done in | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
the last ten years. -- new owners. Defending Derby from serious | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
flooding. And �8 million project gets the go ahead. | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
Plus voting for big savings. The council cuts that could cost 1400 | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
jobs. And the darling of the tea dance. | :00:50. | :01:00. | |

Strictly's Mr Nasty reveals his Good evening. First tonight, Billy | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
Davies is back as manager of Nottingham Forest. And on the day | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
of his remarkable, shock appointment, East Midlands Today | :01:13. | :01:23. | |
has an exclusive interview with him and the club chairman. Davies was, | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
of course, sacked as Forest manager 18 months ago. And he now becomes | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
the fourth manager at the City Ground since Forest was taken over | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
by a Kuwaiti consortium last summer. Natalie Jackson reports now from | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
central London. Tonight, I am at of Homo of | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
Nottingham Forest chairman, Fawaz Al Hasawi, in London. It is here | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
that over the past weeks he and former manager, Billy Davies, have | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
been planning his shock return to the city Ground. | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
We had lunch and, within minutes, officially announcing that Billy | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
Davies had been reappointed as boss. Then he and the chairman gave their | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
first interviews. I am delighted to be back, to be working with the new | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
owners, and very much looking forward to try my very best to | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
achieve what we never done in the last time here. Does Billy have to | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
get promotion this season? We hope so. We hope that will happen. It is | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
not far. We have only 16 games to go. I think we are only six or | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
seven points. If we continue winning, it will happen. When I | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
found out about this one, my decision was very easy. | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
Fortean-year-old Scotsman was harshly sacked 20 months ago by the | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
previous owners. -- 48-year-old Scotsman. That was despite leading | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
into semi-finals. So why go back? In my meetings with the chairman, I | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
can see clearly he is a winner. And I am sure he would agree that I am | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
also a winner. Together, we want to win. The Kuwaiti family have sacked | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
three managers since taking over at Nottingham Forest six months ago. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
But Fawaz Al Hasawi says Billy Davies's return heralds a fresh | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
start. Maybe some of the fans feel we are interfering with the | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
managers. This is totally wrong. I know Billy Davies is a strong | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
manager and I will not interfere. He does not like that. There is his | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
reputation you are the kind of sky that can have an argument in a | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
telephone box. -- the kind of person. Can you get on? I am here, | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
that tells you everything. Fawaz Al Hasawi says he will be | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
there at Billy Davies's first game against Bolton a week on Saturday. | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
In the meantime, Billy will meet the media as the new Nottingham | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
Forest manager officially on Monday. And there will be more on this in | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
our sport with Colin later in the programme. | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
Moving on to other news of the day. Rolls-Royce has come under fire for | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
announcing hundreds of job losses, mainly at its sites in Derby and | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
Bristol. The union Unite says 320 posts are being axed, yet the | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
company is making record profits and the cuts are unnecessary. | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Rolls-Royce says the number of people it employs in the UK will | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
not alter a great deal. But the workforce profile will change. More | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
people will be in engineering and production and fewer in support | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
jobs. Detectives are still questioning | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
two men arrested on suspicion of killing a murder suspect. The | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
search for the remains of James Brodie on farmland at East | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
Heckington in Lincolnshire is now in its fourth day. Two men, aged 32 | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
and 41, were arrested yesterday. Brodie was wanted for the shooting | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
of the jeweller Marian Bates in Nottingham in 2003. | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
Still to come... In sport, all the reaction to the return of Billy | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
Davies to the City ground. Plus Mary Portas pops into | :05:13. | :05:23. | |
:05:23. | :05:26. | ||
Loughborough, but can this pilot But before that, Derby is getting | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
one of the largest payouts in the Government's latest flood | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
protection programme. It will receive the lion's share, �80 | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
million, to safeguard homes and businesses along the River Derwent. | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
But the Government also says the funding will generate much-needed | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
new jobs in the city. From Derby, here is political editor John Hess. | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
Derby is no stranger historically too serious flooding. Even back in | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
1842, the level of the flood water would have come up to my chest. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
Michelle Killmartin needs no history lessons in flooding. Her | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
home in Darley Abbey, just north of the city centre, rarely escapes a | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
winter without it. It is really bad, the path down there, the houses get | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
flooded, all the gardens. It is really mad. It must be a worry? | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
is. Older people live around here. When the water floods, they cannot | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
get out and their belongings get ruined. But today's Government | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
announcement should help prevent future flooding. There will be the | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
potential for great regeneration. Huge numbers of jobs, in the | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
construction, will come through from the regeneration afterwards. | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
This is massive day for Derby, a There will be new flood defences | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
along a three-mile stretch of the It will go from Darley Abbey | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
through the city centre to Price Park in the south. The politician | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
in charge of Derby's environment policy says the �80 million price | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
tag will kick start housing development. 1400 new riverside | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
homes will be built. I think it will benefit immensely, meaning we | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
will attract private developers to build houses where they cannot be | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
at the moment, but also in terms of businesses coming in and creating | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
jobs for the city and region. imagine the force of the River | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
Derwent when it is flooding. The Government hope that this �80 | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
million programme will be enough to protect homes and businesses in | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
this city. So just how much damage does | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
flooding cause? We have been taking a detailed look at the figures. | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
Last year, swollen rivers flooded more than 200 homes here in the | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
East Midlands. But in previous episodes, thousands of properties | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
were damaged by floodwaters. Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, | :07:44. | :07:54. | |
Imagine having to deal with this. Your home engulfed by floodwater. | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
Every time this happens, it turns another life upside down. Now the | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
Environment Agency has given us figures that show how many people | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
have been affected in recent years. The most serious damage was back in | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
2007. Homes along the River Trent bore the brunt of serious flooding. | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
In Nottinghamshire, it left almost 1500 flooded properties. In | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
Lincolnshire, another 660 homes ended up in river water. The | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
flooding damaged 430 properties in Derbyshire. And 30 homes in | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Leicestershire were damaged by those floods. That prompted a | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
multi-million pound response. This is Nottingham's new flood defences | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
along the Trent. We saw what difference that made when serious | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
flooding hit this region again last year. This time, Leicestershire got | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
the worst of it. There were 110 flooded properties. But only 20 | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
homes were flooded by river water downstream in Nottinghamshire. And | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
the Environment Agency says that shows how the flood defence schemes | :08:48. | :08:57. | |
Thank you very much. More than half of the residents | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
living in two tower-blocks in Nottingham say they cannot afford | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
to heat their flat. The Park Street flats in Lenton feature in a | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
Government report as the third worst in the UK for fuel poverty. | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
Meanwhile, the charity, Shelter, says the situation is getting worse | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
across the whole of the East Midlands. Rebecca Sheeran reports. | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
Towering above Nottingham, but when temperatures plummet, residents | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
become some of the most vulnerable in the UK. Jim has lived here for | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
seven years and says not being able to afford heating can make things | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
unbearable. I can only afford to put a firearm, I cannot afford | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
central-heating. It would cost too much. -- I can only afford to put | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
that fire on. How does that make you feel? Terrible, I have cancer. | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
Because of the rising cost of heating, and the design of these | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
flats, he is not alone. You need to get your blanket and try to keep | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
yourself warm. Terrible. It is really cold. Really awful, | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
particularly if you are elderly, disabled or unwell and cannot leave | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
your flat very much. You are literally sitting in a really | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
freezing cold. Over half of the people living in these tower-blocks | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
cannot afford to heat their homes. Elsewhere in the East Midlands, it | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
is not much better. Over half a million people are classed as | :10:25. | :10:35. | |
:10:35. | :10:37. | ||
Many say this is causing them stress and depression. These flats | :10:37. | :10:44. | |
will be demolished this year and a residents repose -- rehoused. | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
average, the homes where work has been done is already saving tenants | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
between �95-�250 per year on heating bills. But there are | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
worries plans to reduce benefits this year will make paying for | :10:58. | :11:08. | |

A Nottingham man who dug up his garden to hide a shipping container | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
full of drugs has been jailed for three years. Police made the | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
unusual find at the home of 43- year-old Adrian James. They | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
discovered a tunnel leading to an underground container full of | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
cannabis plants and growing equipment. In total, drugs worth | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
�86,000 were seized. James, from Hungerhill Road, admitted | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
commercially producing cannabis. Plans to build 2000 new homes on a | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
former iron works site in Derbyshire have been revealed. The | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
owners of Stanton Ironworks want to turn the 470-acre site into a new | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
neighbourhood. It will be complete with shopping centre, retirement | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
village, business park and community facilities. An area | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
destroyed in a massive recycling centre fire last year would also be | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
redeveloped. The Melton Show, one of the best | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
known events in Leicestershire's entertainment calendar, is to end. | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
Held in the town centre on the Whitsun Bank Holiday, the show ran | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
for nearly 30 years. It attracted tens of thousands of people to the | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
town's parks. The organisers have now decided to call it a day. They | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
are going out on a high following last year's Jubilee Show. | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
A Tory council leader says they cannot continue making more and | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
more cuts despite bring in another swingeing budget in his own council | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
for next year. Andrew Lewer, who runs Derbyshire County Council, | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
acknowledges services will be trimmed. And 1400 jobs will go. | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
The council's Labour group agrees cuts are unavoidable. But they | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
should be targeted on the area's most able to afford them. Actually, | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
one disabled woman thinks any cuts are unfair. James Roberson reports. | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
It may look comfortable. But this flat in Belper is much smaller than | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
the bungalow Jane Lyon used to own in Ashbourne. Jane, who has lung | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
disease and chronic fatigue syndrome, had to move here when | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
Derbyshire County Council cut the benefits it paid her by 80%. Now | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
thousands more people are going to Over the next four years, �127 | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
million in savings will have to be made. �26 million will be cut this | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
year alone. Almost �8 million will go from support for children | :13:19. | :13:29. | |

services. And a further �9 million People do not choose to be disabled | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
and to be in the. And to continue to hit us with these funding cuts, | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
I think it is very cruel, never mind anything else. But the council | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
leader who steered the cuts through says he agrees his own Government | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
party needs to stop hitting councils were tough financial | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
reductions. We have coped well with what we have done up until now. But | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
we will struggle to provide services if cuts continue at this | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
level. What county council elections looming, the Labour Party | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
thinks things could change she have radically in May, giving the | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
current ruling Conservative Party only has a majority of one. But it | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
look -- but the Labour group says they would not be able to reverse | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
the cuts, but would seek to read this that the Budget to help the | :14:18. | :14:23. | |

Next tonight, the NHS troubleshooter in the East Midlands | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
to says the NHS must always be looking to improve standards in the | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
wake of the Stafford Hospital scandal. Yesterday's damning report | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
revealed how hundreds of patients died because of sub-standard care | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
there. Eric Morton was the man sent in to sort out the crisis in | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
Stafford in 2009. Now he is working in Nottinghamshire dealing with the | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
troubled finances of King's Mill Hospital. Health Correspondent Rob | :15:03. | :15:13. | |
:15:13. | :15:14. | ||
Sissons is there. -- here. What have the lessons? Lessons for all | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
parts of the NHS. This has sparked a national debate. Some comments on | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
radio and e-mails to us. One woman said she would give the NHS ten out | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
of ten. But one woman said her experience in hospital was terrible. | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
And one nurse said there was simply too much Agency and temporary staff | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
in the NHS. You were speaking to Mr Morton. He is the temporary boss at | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
King's Mill. What does he have to say? He says the NHS should look | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
out for a sub-standard care. That is him in King's Mill Hospital, | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
where he was trouble-shooting. Standards must be the same on at | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
the war, every shift, and it is not good that people have perception | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
that things are not good across the board. There will always be times | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
when we do not treat a patient went that is expected. We need to be | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
honest, sheer that and learn from mistakes, so the next patient get | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
treated excellently well. We are here to look after people and do no | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
harm. The patient wants that little bit of time and attention, to be | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
cared for. Some insuring quality is top the | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
agenda? It is. When we look at where the NHS is going, we should | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
look at where it has been. I have been doing this for ten years. This | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
was the Leicester Royal Infirmary in 2001, when I was looking at | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
weights of 12-14 hours. There is proof of the ageing process. And | :16:50. | :16:58. | |
cases of people waiting a year or two years for a hip operation. I | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
travelled with this woman who was using her life savings to go to | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
Germany for heart operation. But a lot of those waiting times have now | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
been sorted out. -- for her operation. I did my bit in the air | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
force, because that was patriotic. I loved my country, but my country | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
does not love me. All I have done, just this once, is something I | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
cannot fix myself. Challenging times. It sounds like the man is up | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
for it. Thank you very much indeed. The Queen of shops has been in | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
Loughborough today. Mary Portas has been speaking to business owners | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
about how to bring empty shops back into use. The market town is one of | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
27 across the country taking part in the Portas Pilot Scheme. Eleanor | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
Garnier went to find out more. She's known for her straight | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
talking, no nonsense approach. And it wasn't long before Mary Portas | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
was having her say. You would rather have a business the near | :17:59. | :18:06. | |
than it looking like that. Much rather. The Queen of Shops was in | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
Loughborough. It is one of 27 towns across the country which was given | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
�100,000. It is under the Portas Pilot Scheme. This is not about | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
�100,000, but to make a change. This as help people come together, | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
with ideas, and have a business opportunity to go out to other | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
retailers, businesses, social entrepreneur and asked to come into | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
this town. There are currently 47 empty shops here. This pilot is | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
aiming to change that. But what kind of help to people in | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
Loughborough want for their high street? Chiba war three mac car | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
parking to encourage people back to the market, back to the High Street. | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
-- cheaper or even free car parking. Reach out to the community. It's | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
clear who the crowds were interested in. But the Government | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
also wanted to have their word. They launched a new Future High | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
Streets Forum to help towns adapt to the era of online shopping. | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
These are tough times. But if you change, you can prosper. I have met | :19:14. | :19:22. | |
a number of businesses adapting to consumer habits to are doing well. | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
-- who are. The retail guru certainly brought a buzz to the | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
market today. But the test is whether behind the scenes talks | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
with businesses and politicians will create a long-lasting | :19:31. | :19:39. | |
excitement in our high streets. Sport now and interesting times at | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
the city Ground. Colin is there. What a week it has been. I do not | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
know who your support, and it does not matter what you think of the | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
man, but the return of Billy Davies is quite a news story. He lost his | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
job just over 18 months ago. But now, he is back under the new | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
owners. We have had exclusive access to Billy Davies and chairman | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
Fawaz Al Hasawi today. They were giving their only broadcast | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
interview to Natalie Jackson. If you missed the beginning of the | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
programme, it will be on the iPlayer later. We wanted to give | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
you a taste of what Billy had to say. Obviously, I am delighted. I | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
have said to the fans who were listening that we had unfinished | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
business. They have been very loyal. No matter who has been there and | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
doing the job. I think, from my own point of view, I am delighted. | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
have you made of the new owners since dealing with them? It is very | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
difficult at the moment, in this short period of time together, but | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
there is no doubt, if you look at the chairman and the investment he | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
has already made, a Ticketus 14 players, you have to say that there | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
is a huge return there. -- I think it is 14 players. We know this is a | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
developing team. It has new ownership. It is a project that | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
will take time. Billy can be a robust character, he | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
would not deny that. The new owner, Fawaz Al Hasawi, has shown a | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
ruthless streak and a willingness to we'll be axed. So other fans | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
convinced this is a match made in heaven? It is the best news we | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
could wish for. Over the moon. He is the man for the job. He is not | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
going to stand for no rubbish. brings belief in the fans. That is | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
what the club needs. It seems we lost a bit of stability. Hopefully, | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
King Billy can bring good times back. What forest means more now | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
than ever is some stability. -- forest. He has a good track record, | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
but his three years were spent with a public fall-out with the last | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
owners. She his his own man. He will say what he wants. -- he is | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
his own man. He will play the game, and if he gets what he gets, who | :22:13. | :22:20. | |
knows? Even back in the Premiership. That sort of split mirrors what we | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
have seen on social media. We have received some tweets. For every | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
person saying they were not a fan, everyone else says it is brilliant | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
and they hope the headlines are positive. Twitter also spawned a | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
harsh attack, unfinished business, because that is what Billy said he | :22:40. | :22:50. | |
:22:50. | :22:52. | ||
had here. -- hashtag. We asked what he meant by that. They are a club | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
waiting to go into the Premier League. They deserve to be in the | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
Premier League. They certainly have the fans, all the reasons why they | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
should be in the Premier Division. We know that is a difficult task. | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
We know there are other people and teams out there wanting the same | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
thing. The reason for me being back here now again is pure than simply | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
to try to get this club to the Premier League. | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
Well, we shall see if that happens over time. It is certainly more | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
drama here at the city Ground. This programme on the iPlayer, full | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
interview on the website. And more to come from Billy Davies tomorrow. | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
If you are a fan of football, you will not want to miss tomorrow's | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
interviewed. In the meantime, the circus rolls on. | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
Indeed it does. Thank you. Whether you are a Strictly fan or | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
not, you will probably know the show's pantomime villain. Billed as | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
the Mr Nasty of the judging panel, Craig Revel Horwood is always quick | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
to fire barbed comments and criticism at the dancers. He has | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
been in Nottingham this afternoon, where Jo Healey discovered his | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
softer side. It needed shaking, lifted up | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
slightly. A little dynamic. | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
I am nervous about this one. He is a big bad judge. I am not good with | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
difficult people and I cannot dance. So how nervous are these people? | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
They are practising, because Craig Revel Horwood is about to come to | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
their tea dance. Quite excited to see him. He is quite a character. | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
We are Tara fight, that is why we are standing at the back. -- we are | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
terrified. But they do not need to worry. He is here as patron of the | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
osteoporosis Society. Many men and women get this, over the age of 50, | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
and it is really important to teach children in primary school that, if | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
they do not like sport, they should do some weight bearing exercise. | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
Like exercising. -- like dancing, but what does he think? | :25:07. | :25:15. | |
CHEERING. We have never had the score 10 before. A great fun. I | :25:15. | :25:22. | |
want to keep my bones strong. was really good. You are actually a | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
seriously nice person. Doing all of us for osteoporosis. Yes, when I | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
have my judge's hat on, it is only when I see bad dancing that I get | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
annoyed. You are dancing is fine. It is wonderful to support this | :25:41. | :25:51. | |
:25:51. | :25:54. | ||
society. And today, his support for I thought of her dancing was lovely. | :25:54. | :26:02. | |
He looks very young. It is all his dancing keeps them | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
youthful. We could be doing some dancing to | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
keep warm, with cold temperatures this weekend and the opportunity to | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
see some snow back. But not quite tonight. Some frost developing | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
overnight. There is a weather front across the West having an impact on | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
overnight temperatures. Under clear skies, across Leicestershire and | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
Rutland, temperatures going down to about minus one. Then cloud | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
increases at the first sign of bad weather front during the early | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
hours of the morning, across parts of Derbyshire initially, and it | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
being wintry first think and as it sinks towards the south east corner. | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
Some rain, sleet and snow, giving an and grey and damp day. Under | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
called one with that wind. Maximum temperature of five Celsius. A cold | :26:55. | :27:04. | |
night Friday into Saturday. Thump rain, sleet and snow. It is on | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
Sunday that we have an early weather warning with regards to the | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
return of snow. We are hesitant as to the direction that low pressure | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
is likely to travel in. It will probably produce heavy snow across | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
the north, but that could sink southwards. By the time we get to | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
Monday, and set me rush-hour, we could see some nifty -- and | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
certainly Russia, we could see some significant snowfall. We shall keep | :27:32. | :27:37. |
