This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies and me, Dominic Heale. | :00:04. | :00:08. | |
Tonight — the Government threatens to shut down the Al Madinah Free | :00:08. | :00:18. | |
School in Derby — for good. Minister accuses the school of delivering a | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
poorer standard of education and of discriminating against women and | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
girls also tonight, sales at a seven—year high, or are these the | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
first signs of a new property boom? The rare medical condition which | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
causes excruciating pain in the sufferer's face. Trigeminal | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
Neuralgia, you would not wish it on anyone. It is like having your tooth | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
drilled without an anaesthetic. Leicester cuts, how familiar | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
landmarks left in Prince on local artist. —— imprints. The government | :00:52. | :01:06. | |
is threatening to withdraw its funding for a controversial free | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
school — unless it takes "swift action" to address major concerns | :01:09. | :01:17. | |
over how it's run. Officials say the Al—Madinah school in Derby has | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
failed to ensure the safety of its pupils, has delivered an | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
unacceptably poor standard of education and discriminated against | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
female members of staff. Our reporter Simon Hare is at one of the | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
school's two sites in the city. Simon, the Government appears to be | :01:28. | :01:43. | |
taking a hard line? Yes, a very hard line after a month of | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
investigations, inspections and intense media scrutiny. Today the | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
Education Minister wrote this very strongly worded letter to the school | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
telling them that unless they make major changes to the way the school | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
is run, they will lose funding. It is fair to say that having spoken to | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
parents tonight, many remain broadly supportive of what is happening | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
here. Parents of schools at Al Madinah Free School arrived to | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
collect their children this afternoon. Most had already heard | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
that the government was threatening to withdraw funding. There is no | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
problem with the school. I think it is the job of the teachers to sort | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
everything out. Parents should back the teachers and give their support. | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
The government should not withdraw funding. We need schools like this | :02:38. | :02:47. | |
in society and in the community. Are you happy with the school? It is | :02:47. | :02:56. | |
OK. Parents were given a letter from the school in response to the | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
criticism from the government. The Education Minister accused the trust | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
which runs the school of breaching the conditions of its funding | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
agreement by failing to ensure the safety of children at the school. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
That relates to the lack of paperwork to prove background checks | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
have been carried out on staff, delivering an unacceptably poor | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
standard of education. We revealed that the regulator accused the skill | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
of being inadequate. It was discovered in 18 in its policies | :03:27. | :03:35. | |
towards female staff. It failed to discharge its duties and | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
responsibilities in respect of the governing body. The government said | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
there have been significant failings in the financial management of the | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
school. It now has to comply with a list of demands from the government | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
by the end of this month. In the letter to the chair of governors, | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
the minister warned unless swift action is taken to address these | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
concerns, I will become hailed to terminate the funding agreement. | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
Tonight the acting principal gave this reaction. We had a team of | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
inspectors in earlier this month and they will be publishing a report | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
which will be published nationally with their objective views. I look | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
forward to when you receive that report, because this is their | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
professional objective judgement for the school. There are things we have | :04:24. | :04:38. | |
to address. Their view is objective. Well, in that letter to parents, the | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
school says that to say the criticisms have come out of the blue | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
would be an understatement. They say that the school is struggling to see | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
how it is being treated in comparison to other free schools. | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
While it intends to cooperate with the Department for Education on | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
these improvements, it is also going to be seeking the advice of its | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
solicitors. Thank you. Next tonight — If you're looking to a buy a house | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
or sell your home, things could be looking up. A survey by the Royal | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
Instiution of Chartered Surveyors says house sales here in the East | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
Midlands have hit a seven year high and the recovery is gathering pace. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
The news came as the Prime Minister used a visit to this region to | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
launch the Government's Help to Buy scheme. Jo Healey reports. This | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
woman did not think she would be packing up and moving on until the | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
spring, but as soon as it went on the market, her home was stabbed up. | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
The estate agent came round on the Tuesday, took photographs on the | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
Wednesday, the sign went up on Saturday. We had three viewings on | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
the Sunday and had the asking price on them Monday. It went through | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
quickly. We were pleased. All the estate agents I spoke to said there | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
has been a surge in sales. More crucially, there is an increased | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
confidence in the market. We have got plenty of properties coming into | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
the market. We have also got plenty of sales being agreed. The | :06:12. | :06:21. | |
government's new Help To Buy is helping the market. We are hoping to | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
move to a three bedroom house. We have not been able to get the | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
deposit together until now. Now this couple have sold, they are heading | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
off to live in Turkey. They're quick sale means they are sailing into the | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
sunset much sooner than they thought. Well, Jo mentioned the | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
Government's new Help to Buy scheme in her report. It was officially | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
launched by the Prime Minister this lunchtime — here in the East | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
Midlands. Our Political Editor John Hess joins us in the studio. John, | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
is it significant that the Prime Minister should chose our region to | :07:00. | :07:09. | |
announce the scheme? The East Midlands is a region that's seen | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
some of the biggest housing Midlands is a region that's seen | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
pressures in recent years. Those new figures from the Royal Instiution of | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Chartered Surveyors are based on findings from its 12,000 members in | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
the East Midlands Half of them report sales are up: That's the | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
highest level in seven years. But are there enough homes to meet the | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
demand. According to East Midlands Councils, seven and a half thousand | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
new homes were completed last year — that's half the total of ten years | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
ago. And the National Housing Federation says it expects house | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
prices for first—time buyers in our region to increase by 36% over the | :07:39. | :07:49. | |
next SEVEN years. More For Sale signs are a sure of a recovering | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
housing market. Certainly the Prime Minister believes the housing market | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
and other changes now in place should make more homes available in | :07:55. | :08:04. | |
the East Midlands. But it's wrong to think that the scheme is helping on | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
the demand side. It is helping with the supply for the reason that the | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
builders will not build unless the buyers are able to buy. This is | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
helping to unlock the housing market which is part of a good and balanced | :08:17. | :08:26. | |
recovery. But are there concerns of another house price bubble in the | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
East Midlands? The Prime Minister says this will" unlock the housing | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
market" .It's a basic law of economics: if there's a shortage, | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
the price goes up. That's why the National Housing Federation is | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
warning an East Midlands spike in property prices for first time | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
buyers, the very group the Prime Minister wants to help. Thank you. | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
Still to come — top flight speedway in Leicester. After the sport | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
collapsed in the city in the 80s, it seems the Leicester Lions are on the | :08:52. | :09:01. | |
verge of joining the Elite League. And we are speeding our way into | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
winter, we have a temperature roller coasters on the way. Join me later | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
in the programme. —— roller coasters. The Old Bailey's heard | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
that a teenage terror suspect was arrested after threatening two | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
schoolboys with a knife in Loughborough. The seventeen year | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
old's accused of preparing weapons and plans for a Columbine High | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
School—style attack. For the latest — let's cross to Loughborough — and | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball. This is Granby Street | :09:29. | :09:43. | |
in Loughborough, not the kind of straight you would expect a | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
terrorism investigation to begin, but this is worth the 17—year—old | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
was arrested in February after a row with two schoolboys. The details | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
emerged in court where he was in the court with an interim media victory | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
and cannot be identified. This afternoon witness described how he | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
and his friend were confronted here. He said the teenager was wearing | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
military style clothing and he told them to stop messing around with a | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
drinks can and when they got to this corner, his friend shouted knife! | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
The teenager moved towards them pointing a jagged blade. That is | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
what led to the arrest and police searched his home. The prosecution | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
say more weapons were found and a list of potential targets. These | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
included a local mosque and the local council along with this cinema | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
and two of the teenager's schools. Today the court heard from a former | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
student who talked about a pattern where the teenager used to get | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
taunted and then use to respond with death threats. The jury heard from | :10:51. | :10:59. | |
one of his former teachers who described him menacingly turning to | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
a bag after she reprimanded him. The bag contained two knives and what | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
looked like a gun. The teenager on trial has admitted possessing petrol | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
bombs and pipe bombs but he has denied that they were for an act of | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
terrorism. Fire crews from all over South Derbyshire have been at a | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
warehouse fire this afternoon The fire service got numerous calls | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
around 3.40pm that this Victorian Warehouse on Northern Road in Derby | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
was ablaze. Fire officers from the three Derby stations, as well as | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
Long Eaton, Belper and Duffield turned out — along with a high rise | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
appliance. Initially it was thought people might be trapped inside, but | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
it now appears the building is empty. Damage, though, has been | :11:38. | :11:53. | |
extensive. People who have it describe it as one of the worst | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
pains on earth. Now a woman from Leicestershire who says she has | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
suffered from it for years is hoping to make a world of difference. She | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
has set up a global online support group for Trigeminal Neuralgia. As | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
our health correspondent reports, this severe facial nerve pain can | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
last from just a few seconds to up to two excruciating minutes. It | :12:15. | :12:26. | |
feels like my face has got tight. Nicholas Smith says she experiences | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
pain in her face many times a day. —— Nikki Samuel. It covers all the | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
nerds across my face. It makes my face feel like it is burning —— | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
nerves. Trigeminal Neuralgia is not one of the worst pains known to man. | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
It is a bit like having your tooth drilled without an anaesthetic. In | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
most cases the pain is caused from pressure on an artery. Tumours can | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
affected and surgery only cure is some cases. Some people commit | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
suicide if they do not get adequate treatment. Sudden changes in | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
temperature make it worse and it can be hard to play outdoors. I watch | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
Harry through the glass and that is not how it was meant to be. | :13:19. | :13:27. | |
Sorry... Just then I had a shock across my face. It makes us very | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
sad. The condition is hard for her partner. She has got no control over | :13:35. | :13:44. | |
it. It can hit her at any time. She has helped to organise the first | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
international awareness Day, eliminating landmarks around the | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
globe, a publicity stunt to shed light on condition that affects one | :13:53. | :14:02. | |
in 20,000 people in the UK. An inquest jury's witnessed an | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
emotional exchange between the sister of a man found fatally | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
stabbed three years ago and the psychologist who'd been in charge of | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
his mental health care. It happened at the inquest into the deaths of a | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
man, his former partner, and their young son in Derbyshire in 2010. | :14:15. | :14:23. | |
James Roberson reports. It was at this cottage in 2010 that three | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
bodies were found. Those of Rachel Slack and her son Aidan and his | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
father Andrew Cairns. The year before, the couple had split up and | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
Andrew Kerins lived alone here. Throughout 2009 and early 2010, his | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
mental health deteriorated. He was supposed to see his care | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
coordinator, but he began to miss appointments. In March, 2010, in | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
desperation, he insisted that this woman went with Rachel Slack to see | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
him along with his doctor. However he refused to admit any of them. The | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
doctor told the jury we had no powers to enter the property or take | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
things further. The coroner said that the woman left you a number of | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
messages the following day which you made no response. The doctor then | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
said to her personally, that was not acceptable and I apologise to you | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
for any distress that I may have caused you. She said it would not | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
do. The inquest also heard that Andrew's sister could only be | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
directly involved in his care with his permission and he was against | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
that. Additionally, the doctor was asked if knowing him | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
professionally, the deaths that happened later could have been | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
foreseen. He said no, he was not violent, it could not have been | :15:52. | :16:01. | |
foreseen. The inquest continues. With almost a million young people | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
out of work anything to reduce that figure is bound to be welcomed — and | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
that's where Nottinghamshire's biggest careers fair may help. | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
Thousands of people have been visiting Nottingham Racecourse where | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
scores of exhibitors are providing advice and support. And as Quentin | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
Rayner reports, for one teenager, going to the fair really paid off. | :16:15. | :16:26. | |
Up to 6000 young people and their parents are expected to have | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
attended the fair at Nottingham Racecourse. Aimed at 15 to | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
19—year—olds, the exhibitors offered advice on the best choices for | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
further and higher education as well as apprenticeships. Really useful. | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
What do you want to do? I want to be a science engineer. I have been | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
searching for apprenticeships and I have found a few. I was looking at | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
construction work. How useful has it been? It has been very useful. It | :16:58. | :17:08. | |
does lead to a job. They get some real work experience. That stands | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
them in good stead either to be taken on by that employer or by | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
someone else after they finish their apprenticeship. This man walked into | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
full—time employment after an apprenticeship when he visited the | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
fair two years ago. The 19—year—old now works as an IT support | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
consultant for the training provider who give him his apprenticeship. I | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
went to the fair and I learned so much more. You find out a lot more | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
that you can do. He is typical of many young people. He wants to work | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
and has a great work ethic. He has an interest in IT which he was able | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
to develop. When he got qualified, we decided he was too good to lose. | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
Success for Jake and that they went down a as well. A leading charity | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
says almost a quarter of seven—year—olds, from lower income | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
families in the East Midlands, are NOT reaching the expected reading | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
standards. Save the Children says the government must act to stop | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
pupils falling behind. Simon Ward has been to a school in | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
Nottinghamshire that's trying to improve reading skills. At this | :18:21. | :18:32. | |
school, they are eager to learn, but in our region, 22% of | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
seven—year—olds from low income backgrounds are being left behind. | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
More intensive lessons are helping to boost reading ability. These are | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
the children of the recession, they were born in the economic downturn | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
and are beginning school life now. The charity is campaigning to reduce | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
the reading skills gap. With intensive teaching from our highly | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
qualified teachers, we returned these children to age expectations. | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
Five years ago in Nottinghamshire we started with ten schools and we | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
currently have 50 schools who are engaged with reading recovery. This | :19:16. | :19:27. | |
boy's reading skills are improving thanks to the scheme. The earlier | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
the intervention the better. That is why Reading recovery is so powerful | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
because it picks the most honourable children at the age of five and six | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
and really nips any problems they have with reading. The charity wants | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
the government to increase spending on reading tuition and in the | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
meantime schemes like this hope to set pupils on the right course to | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
enjoy books and reach the right standards for their age group. It is | :19:55. | :20:06. | |
time for the sport. Leicester Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
has confirmed the signing of Argentine flanker Pablo Matera until | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
the end of the season. Matera is just 20 but comes fresh from the | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
Southern Hemisphere's version of the Six Nations. He will help to cover | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
for the injured Tom Croft. And Cockerill is delighted to have him. | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
Very abrasive and tough. We have had some good history with the | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
Argentinians and we are delighted to have him. He could be a real find | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
for us and hopefully, a decade or so with us would be very nice. In | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
football, some bad news for Derby County — striker Johnny Russell will | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
be out for around six weeks after breaking a bone in his leg. He | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
fractured his fibula during the match with Leeds at the weekend. | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
Elsewhere, there are two corking games in the Johnstone's Paint | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
Trophy to distract us tonight. Mansfield renew their always spicy | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
rivalry with Chesterfield — that's at the One Call Stadium. And Notts | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
County have a trip to one of the lower leagues' giants — Wolves. Top | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
flight speedway seems set to return to Leicester after 30 years. The | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
Leicester Lions say they're confident they'll be awarded | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
promotion to the Elite League next month. The sport collapsed in the | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
city in the mid 80's. But the revival's been remarkable. And this | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
Sunday the biggest crowd of the season is expected when Coventry are | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
the visitors. Mark Shardlow reports. It is nearing the end of the | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
season. The club the fans fought for for two decades to revive is going | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
strong. In tough economic times, the return of speedway has been a | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
success. We knew we would start off with a core crowd. The people who | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
remember the sport. We have got new supporters who are coming in to | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
support us. There is no open ocean and relegation. This time last | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
year, they applied to enter the top league but it was turned down. They | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
hope for a different outcome next month. The fans are brilliant. They | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
deserve the best racing. If they continue to support the club, they | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
will end up in the league sooner or later. Speedway has loyal fans. They | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
have to be looked after with great racing. To grow, Lester Haas to | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
attract newcomers, selling it as a family friendly night out. It is | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
great. It is good. I will come again. I always enjoyed it. I'm | :22:17. | :22:30. | |
excited about the racing. The little one likes it. This Sunday there is a | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
taste of what might be on offer next season. Coventry are in the Elite | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
League and they were once the bitterest of rivals. All our local | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
teams are in the Elite League. We will be racing against Coventry and | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
Wolverhampton. It makes the whole thing far more exciting for our | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
supporters. Some fans worry that promotion might mean a change at | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
race night, more expensive ad mission and the sustainability of | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
the club would be threatened. After a 30 year wait, the top—flight | :23:07. | :23:27. | |
speedway seems close to a return. Now as Leicester waits to find if | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
it's to become the next UK City of Culture, we're exploring how the | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
city has helped shape and inspire an array of creative people. Tonight in | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
the second of our series Made in Leicester, our Arts reporter Geeta | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
Pendse has been to meet a print maker whose imagination has been | :23:41. | :23:55. | |
fired by the city's architecture. In the busyness of life it is easy to | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
forget our surroundings, but for this artist, a walk—through | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
Leicester is a source of constant inspiration. From the historic | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
gallery to the forgotten factories of the city's industrial era, Sarah | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
has been documenting Leicester's many buildings through her work. One | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
of the things I find is that it is very compact. You get these changes | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
in the city very quickly. They're all within yards of each other. | :24:27. | :24:35. | |
There are lots of residential streets. The Tory and terraces. —— | :24:35. | :24:48. | |
Victorian terraces. These details are minute. There are a lot of | :24:48. | :24:59. | |
bricks. Sarah uses a technique which involves carving a design onto a | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
piece of lino and cutting out the white areas of the printer. Inc is | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
rolled over the design and a machine is used to make the impression on | :25:07. | :25:16. | |
paper. I was aware that people who had come to Leicester were very | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
modest about their own city and yet I was walking past buildings that | :25:21. | :25:29. | |
I've found gorgeous and interesting. There was something in me which | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
wanted to make something of those buildings that other people were not | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
shouting about. In many ways her work is about inspiring people to | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
take a second look at a world that is right in front of them. Such hard | :25:41. | :25:51. | |
work, but they are beautiful. They are stunning. It is time for the | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
weather. Our heat wave is coming to an end. | :25:53. | :26:05. | |
We have seen it out with a bit of a cracker. More sunshine today and | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
temperatures were even higher. We were up to 20 degrees in the East | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
Midlands and we peaked at 21 degrees. Temperatures are usually | :26:15. | :26:24. | |
around 15 degrees, so we are above average. There are changes to come, | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
high pressure is building in the West and that means winds will turn | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
to a northerly direction and we will bring in much colder air behind this | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
cold front. A bit of a shock to the system, it is turning colder and by | :26:38. | :26:47. | |
the end of the week, we will pull in brisk winds. Not a lot changing for | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
the rest of the day and tonight, it will be dry with clear spells. The | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
cloud will thicken later on. Temperature wise, 11 or 12 degrees. | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
A little bit cooler than last night. Tomorrow morning, we will | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
start off dry, a bit of brightness first thing, but the clouds will | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
thicken up and we will see a line of showers moving in. The showers are | :27:10. | :27:17. | |
associated with the cold front, some beautiful sunshine in the evening | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
tomorrow, but that is when we will start to introduce that cooler air. | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
It will feel cooler and fresher with highs of 13 or 14 degrees. | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
Temperatures will continue to take a nosedive later in the wake. Dry up | :27:30. | :27:44. | |
bright weather, but highs of 11 or 12 degrees —— in the week. Goodbye. | :27:44. | :27:46. |
