This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale, and me, Anne Davies. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Tonight: Police discover body parts in a garden — and they could be a | :00:07. | :00:17. | |
decade old. The remains were found in the back garden of this | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
semidetached house near Mansfield. First tonight — the bodies of two | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
people have been found buried in the back garden of a house in Forest | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
Town in Mansfield. I am worried about my daughter's future. I want | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
her to have an education, that is her right. The new flood bank | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
villagers hope will protect them from scenes like these. And in | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
sport, it might be a last visit to Leicester Tigers to Belfast. | :00:44. | :00:59. | |
Good evening. First night, the bodies of two people have been found | :00:59. | :01:09. | |
buried in the back garden of a house in Forest Town in Mansfield. Police | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
say the remains could have been there for more than a decade. No | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
arrests have been made but officers are appealing for information not | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
just locally but nationally and internationally as well. Our | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
reporter is there for us now. Good evening. What led police to this | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
discovery? It was a tip—off given to Nottinghamshire police that led them | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
to this semidetached property in Mansfield. Then, after digging up | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
the garden, that chilling discovery of two bodies. It is not yet known | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
what happened here, but officers have told me there are investigating | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
an incident which they think happened here in the late 1990s. A | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
quiet, cul—de—sac in the centre of a shocking discovery. It was a tip—off | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
that led Nottinghamshire police to this semidetached home in the Forest | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
Town area of Mansfield. Buried in the back garden, two bodies, thought | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
to have been here since the late 1990s. We walk our dogs passed the | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
house every night. It is just a shock to realise you have been | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
walking past such a scene. What kind of community is this normally? It is | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
lovely. Everybody helps each other. Can't believe it. Forensic teams | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
have been gathering and removing evidence all day, but police say it | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
could take weeks or even months to formally identify the bodies. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
Officers say the community is not at risk. It is a historical enquiry | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
because of the length of time the people have been there. Clearly, | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
people move on. But any information at all would be really great to | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
receive. One neighbour told me an elderly couple living here in the | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
1990s suddenly disappeared. Local people assumed they had emigrated. | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
No arrests have been made in connection with the discovery of | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
these human remains. Officers have told me that the tenant and the | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
owner of this property are not linked to their investigation. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
Postmortems have been carried out this afternoon, and until those | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
bodies are identified, mystery will continue to surround this quiet | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
cul—de—sac. Thank you very much. Parents worried about the future of | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
their children's troubled school have met with staff to air their | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
concerns. The school, in Derby, admits it faces an enormous task | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
meeting a string of demands made by the government earlier this week. | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
One parent has told us she believes the Al—Madinah free school is | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
failing to give her daughter a broad enough education. Simon Hare has | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
more. What are you coming to find out | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
tonight? I don't know, wait and see. Parents arrived for a meeting last | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
night at the troubled Al—Madinah. Among the parents, this woman. Her | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
five—year—old daughter attends the school. She feels there's too much | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
emphasis Islamic studies. They need to learn things like English, Maths, | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
science. You don't think they do enough of that? They should have | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
more of that. But you're not taking your daughter out of school? Right | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
now I can't do that. In a letter to the school this week, Education | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
Minister Lord Nash threatened to withdraw its funding unless | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
governors meet a number of demands to a series of deadlines. In a | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
letter of response to the parents, the school's governing body said: | :05:06. | :05:24. | |
We understand the school will be found to be inadequate in all areas | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
and then placed in special measures. That is only if the school continues | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
to receive funding in order to operate. This headteacher, behind | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
plans for a new free school in Nottingham, says the Al—Madinah | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
experience has made the government much more robust. I think Lord Nash | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
has set a new agenda on this particular area, the scrutiny of | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
board applications through his civil servants is much greater. The | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
criteria that you have to meet is much more rigorous. | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
Still to come: The council houses that come with cold 'built in'. | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
These properties have cast iron frames, making them freezing in | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
winter. But hopes are rising of warmer times ahead. Certainly not | :06:11. | :06:20. | |
warming up weather—wise. It will be windy, and wet as well, and you | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
remember that weekend last weekend that was so warm and sunny? It is | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
not going to be like that this weekend. Full details in the next | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
few minutes. Next tonight: BBC research for the | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
East Midlands Sunday Politics programme shows that fewer than 1.5% | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
of the region's elected councillors are black. One of the few black | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
councillors in the East Midlands is warning her community could be left | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
feeling alienated and ignored. From Leicester, here's our Political | :06:55. | :07:03. | |
Editor John Hess. The vibrant sound of the Caribbean. | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
Members of this steel band on their weekly practice session at the | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
city's African Caribbean Centre. They certainly make a big sound. It | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
celebrates their cultural heritage will stop but when it comes to | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
Parliament, they feel the black community is not being heard nearly | :07:21. | :07:31. | |
loudly enough. I am not quite sure why we are not getting to more black | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
people being there. Maybe a lot of people feel just like they are not | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
benefiting from it. Even if it was targets or quarters, that is the way | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
I would see it improving. The black community makes up 3% of the | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
population. The number of black MPs is half that. The black vote could | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
be decisive in 25% of Britain's Parliamentary constituencies. Those | :07:57. | :08:05. | |
168 seats are in some of the most marginal seats in the country. This | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
woman is one of two black city councillors. She is one of only six | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
in the whole of the East Midlands. Black young people will be | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
increasingly disenfranchised from the moderate politic. The middle way | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
that is represented by our two or three party system will be alien to | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
those young people, and I suspect that young people, black and white, | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
will seek to find their own solutions. Our black unity say | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
without better representations in politics, expect them to turn up the | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
volume. MPs Chris Williamson and Andrew | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
Bridgen will debate the issue on the Sunday Politics for the East | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
Midlands. That's with Marie Ashby from 11:15 on BBC One. Next tonight, | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
A 22—year—old man has become the eighth person to appear in court | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
charged with murdering four members of the same family in Leicester. | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
Shehnila Taufiq and her three teenage children all died in a fire | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
at their home on Wood Hill last month. Tristan Richards and seven | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
other men have been remanded in custody accused of killing them. | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
Police say a man who carried out a violent sex attack in Mansfield may | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
have been left with bite marks on his hand. The assault happened on | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
Racecourse Park last month. A woman was punched in the face as she | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
walked her dog and was then attacked. Officers say she bit the | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
man — and his clothing could have been left dirty and bloodstained. | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
Firefighters across the East Midlands will strike for a second | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
time a week tomorrow. The five hour protest is against planned changes | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
to their pensions. The Fire Brigades Union held a four hour strike last | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
month as part of the same dispute. The Government has called the action | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
"totally unconstructive and unnecessary". | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
A fresh bid is being made for lottery money to redevelop | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
Nottingham Castle as a major tourist attraction. You may remember, the | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
first attempt was turned down earlier this year. | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
The City Council now wants to spend a total of £26 million on new | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
buildings and galleries — with the main theme being a riot which | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
virtually destroyed the castle. Quentin Rayner reports. | :10:24. | :10:34. | |
This bed for £15 million of Heritage Lottery funding to help redevelop | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
Nottingham Castle into a world—class tourists attraction has less to do | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
with Robin and more to do with a bunch of rioters who set fire to | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
this place over 180 years ago and gutted it. In October 1831, a group | :10:46. | :10:55. | |
of Parliamentary reformers marched on the castle. They were furious the | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
reform bill had been defeated, scuppering electoral reform. The | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
Duke of Newcastle had voted against it in the Lords. The march turned | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
into a riot, and the palace was set alight with only the holes left | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
standing. The castle was never restored on the jukebox Mac | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
lifetime, he saw it as a symbol, a lasting rebuke to the people of | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
Nottingham for having dared to provoke his ire. It is a fantastic | :11:20. | :11:29. | |
story, dramatic, spectacular. They have got a much better castle to | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
look forward to. They came up here and rioted and changed the face of | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
this country. We need to make sure we get something for Nottingham. If | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
the lottery bid is successful, it will be used to build a brand—new | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
visitor centre and new galleries at the castle. Soon the public will get | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
a flavour of what they could be like. From next year, new, | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
interactive technology will allow visitors to use their smart phone to | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
scan their device over objects and displays connected with the riot and | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
see them come to life. Such as these leather wall panels which survived | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
the fire. Visitors will be able to hold their tablet to these panels | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
and will be able to look around with their tablet and see the gallery. | :12:15. | :12:23. | |
The council hopes by next April two bid has not been shot down in flames | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
again. Police investigating the death of a | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
man found in a derelict building in Derby have released — on bail — one | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
of the men they arrested. Firefighters found the body of a | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
thirty year old in a disused building on Great Northern Road on | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
Tuesday. A 53—year—old was released without charge. A 39—year—old has | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
been released on bail. Officers have yet to release the identity of the | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
man who died. The police have released an image of | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
a man they want to speak to in connection with a drugs incident in | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
Leicester. Officers went to a house in the Henley Crescent area of | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
Braunstone on 18th August and found the premises were being used as a | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
cannabis factory. A man was seen running from the house. The police | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
believe the man pictured may have key information. Motorists in | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
Nottingham are being warned to prepare for more rush—hour misery as | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
another set of works gets underway this weekend on the ring road. It is | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
a week ahead of major works on the A52, just days after parts of the | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
city were brought to a virtual standstill because of lane closures, | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
and work to the district heating system. | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
You might as well just stay at home. Still to come, we have that lovely | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
weekend weather forecast. Plus, the villagers who are hoping they will | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
not need their wellies after the installation of a new flood bank. | :13:52. | :14:03. | |
Some people living in Derby say they have been dreading the dropping | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
temperatures. The reason, they live in council houses with cast iron | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
frames which they claim make them absolutely freezing in winter. But | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
help could be on the way. Since moving to this house in Derby | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
from Wales three years ago, this woman says she has seen her energy | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
bills go through the roof. Absolutely horrendous, we are | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
spending £50 a week, 25 on gas and 25 on electric. You can see the | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
house —— the heat going out of the house. This is one of the houses | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
that was built from cast iron panels. In the past, they have had | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
internal installation fitted, but she says not nearly enough. You have | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
got to have the heating on in winter 24 hours. As soon as the heating was | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
off, it is really cold in here. We're refurbishing the external face | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
of the homes here by adding installation and rendering the | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
properties. Her landlord has grants to put in installation on these | :15:09. | :15:17. | |
types of houses. The work we're doing will improve the fuel bills | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
and reduce them considerably, and will enhance the installation has | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
already been applied to these houses. Having extra wall cladding | :15:23. | :15:32. | |
should make a difference. Such insolation can improve. It can even | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
be designed to blend with increasing —— existing housing. This looks like | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
solid brick but it is actually cladding. It is about one centimetre | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
thick. Back in Derby, these houses will have similar cladding. They | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
also hope now to get grants to insulated the rest of the houses. If | :15:53. | :16:00. | |
we can get this scheme approved and secure grant funding from energy | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
companies to support this work, we're hoping we will be able to | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
complete all of these house times across the course of the next year | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
or so the city. A new flood defence scheme opened | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
today after decades of flooding in South Derbyshire. It's cost almost | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
nine million pounds and taken just over a year to finish. | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
Environment officials and local people say the investment will help | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
avoid major clear up operations when the waters rise. Simon Ward reports. | :16:26. | :16:34. | |
This river is beautiful today, but also notorious for flooding and | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
causing misery for homeowners. The villages around this area have been | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
badly affected by flooding over the years. Today, the new defences were | :16:41. | :16:49. | |
opened, protecting the communities. 1600 homes and businesses should | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
benefit from the barriers. They cover more than three miles of the | :16:54. | :17:02. | |
river. The flood banks themselves may not look particularly | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
impressive, but the Environment Agency say they are designed to hold | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
back a one in 100 year flood, perhaps the worst possible flood. | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
And they can prevent 500 cubic metres of water flowing a second. | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
lot of the expense takes place underground. Floodwater conceit | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
beneath embankments as well. We have to put foundations in that | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
waterproof and bury them again. A lot of work has gone on. This woman | :17:27. | :17:37. | |
has lived in Hatton all her life. It was horrific. It came through our | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
garden like a tsunami. It literally pulled down the wall of five | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
bungalows, and water came everywhere. We were just like a | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
lake, surrounded by water for about three days. Couldn't get in or out. | :17:55. | :18:04. | |
So here it is. The local MP officially opened the flood defence | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
scheme. Residents say it is a relief to know they can now live without as | :18:07. | :18:15. | |
much fear of flooding. Drier times ahead. It is sport time | :18:15. | :18:24. | |
now, and a massive night in rugby because the Tigers Heineken Cup | :18:24. | :18:32. | |
campaign gets underway. Which is why we have sent Colin to soak up some | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
of the atmosphere. This is Ravenhill, the home of | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
Ulster rugby. They are spending a lot of time developing it for big | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
European nights like this. A visit from Leicester Tigers. It is the | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
opening of the Heineken Cup. Hopes for Leicester are very high indeed. | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
It has to be said, the team going to face Ulster tonight is weaker, and | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
the fans are not expecting a huge deal. More importantly, big European | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
nights at places like Ravenhill are under threat. The Heineken Cup is on | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
its last legs. The English and French leagues think that the Celtic | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
nations and the Italians are taking too much money out of the system and | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
a qualification for them is simply too easy. As a result, plans for a | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
breakaway competition are well underway. Only the best survive. The | :19:23. | :19:35. | |
French and the English have to have an equal share. Never mind the | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
history, never mind Leicester's great Heineken moments. The | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
competition is on its last legs as the French and English clubs sees | :19:45. | :19:53. | |
the power to match their muscle. Whether it be Leicester or the | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
English clubs or to lose for the French clubs, there is a value to | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
that. That is the nature of business. It is all important | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
European prestige and the Leicester Tigers. But 2002 seems a long time | :20:09. | :20:17. | |
ago. If you look at what Leicester have achieved in the past, winning | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
the European cup twice. You are part of Europe's elite when that happens. | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
We have got a responsibility to the past to perform to the best of our | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
ability. I was involved in the team that won the Heineken Cup. It's | :20:34. | :20:43. | |
huge. It is so difficult to win it. The benefit of a new competition may | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
be a better chance for that Tigers to win it. The atmosphere is | :20:46. | :20:54. | |
fantastic. The supporters get behind their team really well. All the | :20:54. | :21:01. | |
players lift their intensity levels. If you want to win in Europe, you | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
have got to play against the best teams in the league. An Irishman may | :21:05. | :21:18. | |
relish Leicester's tribes but he may want his countrymen to share in the | :21:18. | :21:27. | |
enjoyment. —— Leicester's triumphs. The European cup is dead, long live | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
the European cup. The last thing we heard there was | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
that fans will get what they want, when they want European rugby. Let's | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
ask people in this pub in Belfast. We can dig a few of them out here. | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
They are coming through with the bears. Begin is is flowing. Let me | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
dive in this way. How much the European nights mean to you? It | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
means everything. The fans are here ready to go, we are excited about | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
the outcome. Can't wait. Can I ask, is it looks like there may be a | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
possibility that Ulster may be off the agenda. How much would you miss | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
that? It would be great to see them off the agenda. We have got to win | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
this game to get through to the final. But evenings like this in | :22:19. | :22:26. | |
Belfast? Fantastic. The atmosphere is great. Thank you very much. Enjoy | :22:26. | :22:34. | |
the game. Nottingham Rugby in action this evening as well, they are away | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
at Plymouth. The Nottingham Panthers are in cup action as well, two games | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
for them. They are at home tomorrow night to Coventry, and away in Hull. | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
Good luck to all of our footballers on international duty as well. | :22:49. | :22:56. | |
Mansfield town, at home to Bristol Rovers. They are trying to come back | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
from two successive defeats, one of them in the trophy. But they have | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
had a cracking start the season and there is a great atmosphere around | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
the stadium and that where that game is tomorrow. Back to the rugby and | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
that question about Europe. Is it going to be sorted out for the fans | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
of Irish provinces and the Welsh and Scots and the Italians, and what | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
about tonight as well? BBC Radio Leicestercommentary team is here. Is | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
it going to be sorted out, it is isn't it? All we can do is hope. It | :23:24. | :23:32. | |
has got a long way to run yet. The unions are getting involved know | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
which has good, Kate matters —— which is going to complicate | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
matters? Nights like this, everybody has been talking to me about the | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
atmosphere. Explain the atmosphere. It is electric. We have been | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
thrashed on two occasions, but we have always had a welcome here at | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
Ravenhill. I expect tonight will be superb. Leicester are under | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
pressure, a lot of changes to the team. It will not be easy. Anywhere | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
in Ireland is a difficult place to come to. For clubs like Leicester | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
that is the challenge. That is the challenge we love in Europe. We | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
don't win that often when we come over here. Maybe tonight is the one | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
step too far for us. We have had a lot of injury problems. But of the | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
Leicester spirit is there, we will not disgrace ourselves. We will see | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
what happens and catch up with at all. You can keep up with it here on | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
BBC East Midlands Today. Can I say hello to a couple of people. The | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
Quinn family, thank you very much for helping us out earlier on. And | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
also a 60—year—old man who still plays who is being honoured | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
tomorrow. I am intrigued, I want to know what | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
the Quinn family did. There is nothing much nice about our weather | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
forecast tonight apart from the weather forecaster. Thank you very | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
much, you're far too kind. You will regret saying that in a moment. The | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
weather forecast is not going to be very pretty unfortunately. It will | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
be wet and cold this weekend. It will certainly be very windy as | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
well. I hope you get used to them because they are not going anywhere | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
over the next 48 hours or so. As far as this evening, we have got a few | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
drizzly Scherer making their way north words. As we move into the | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
early hours, more persistent rain. It is spreading into parts of | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire largely getting away with | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
it. It will be relatively mild, much milder than the last couple of | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
nights. Ten or 11 degrees is not too bad. The problem is it is not going | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
to budge too much as we make our way into the weekend, this band of rain | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
slowly making its way up. If you are doing anything in the afternoon, and | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
with the international breaking news that leads to take centre stage, a | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
couple of games across the East Midlands, you will probably need to | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
take the umbrella with you. The rain will be heavy and northern parts on | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
Saturday afternoon. It will not be particularly pleasant at all. Those | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
temperatures, around 12, 13 Celsius. But let's talk about wind—chill. It | :26:13. | :26:25. | |
becomes more like nine, 10 Celsius. Sunday is slightly better, slightly, | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
as it starts off wet, but thankfully this system will start to spin away | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
from us. We will get a little pocket of drier and brighter weather in the | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
afternoon as well. But unfortunately, with all of these | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
low—pressure systems knocking about at the moment, it will not be too | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
long before we see the next lot of wet weather. However, we might get a | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
couple of drier days to start off the new working week. But notice the | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
little blue spot their hanging over the UK and that air mass will eat a | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
more cold weather. The wind will pick back up again and it will turn | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
things really quite cold. A wet weekend in front of us. I wish I | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
could bring you better news but I cannot. It is like a little conveyor | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
belt of nastiness at the moment. I just thought I saw it move a | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
little bit. Have a great weekend despite that. Goodbye. | :27:18. | :27:20. |
