Now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Anne Davies. A Lincolnshire man, | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
who murdered 10`year`old Rosie`May Storrie, has lost his appeal against | :00:22. | :00:24. | |

Paul Smith. He was convicted of suffocating her and sentenced to 14 | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
years in jail. He's always denied murder and his previous `` has | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
previously attempted to change the verdict. Today, it was announced the | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
Court of Appeal refused an appeal againsts his conviction and | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
sentence. It's welcome news for Rosie`May's family. It means we can | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
get on with our lives and go forward in a positive way. It's a decision | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
that can't be reversed, but Paul Smith's father, Nigel, says the | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
fight to clear his son's name will go on. My son is innocent. This is a | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
huge miscarriage of justice. I will continue to fight it. Rosie`May was | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
a born performer. This year, she would have been 21. Her family are | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
coping with their loss by putting their energy and efforts into a | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
dance academy and a children's home in Sri Lanka, set up in her name. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
Their way of giving other young people the future that Rosie`May was | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
denied. Amy Harris, BBC East Midlands Today. Next tonight, the | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
twins who, their parents say, have missed out on months of schooling. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
The girls both have disabilities and need to be assessed, but the family | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
have been waiting since last June for some kind of decision. There is | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
the chance of places at a school a mile away, but the council won't | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
fund special transport. Jo Healey reports. It was the girls birthday | :02:22. | :02:34. | |
yesterday, 10 years marked by surgery. Zara had an operation on | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
her spine, last June they moved back from Birmingham to Derby. Since then | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
their concern hasn't been just their health, but their education. My | :02:44. | :02:53. | |
favourite subjects are maths and English. I miss my friends. I miss | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
not going back to school. They are highly dependant. We have been | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
struggling throughout. We have not been able to get any schooling, any | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
home education. It's been uphill. We want them to go to school. City | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
Council has a school in mind. The family say it's a mile from home. | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
The council won't give them special transport. Their chairs won't fit in | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
a car. This would be their only option. They are prone to infection, | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
they have a low immune system. We're worried they will end up in hospital | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
again. If we have to do this every day in the cold, rain and wet it's | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
not a solution. We are very worried that we won't be able to keep this | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
up. In a statement, Derby City Council said the family had been | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
encouraged to apply for help with transport and the council always | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
puts the needs of children first. A 71`year`old woman was helicoptered | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
to hospital after a smash between a bus and tractor in a Leicesteshire | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
village. Witnesses saw a single decker bus collide with a tractor, | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
before hitting a wall in North Street in Rothley today. Three | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
others were taken to hospital as a precaution. The road was closed | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
while emergency services rescued the woman, who suffered serious leg | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
injuries. The bus was well lodged in the wall. The driver side was lodged | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
worse, the tractor hit the door as you would step onto the bus. The | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
front of the bus was in a good mess. The Government has turned down a | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
plan to improve one of our key rail links. A minister says there's no | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
business case for work on the Castle Railway line from Nottingham to | :04:35. | :04:45. | |
Lincoln, via Newark. To no avail. The East Coast Main Line gets | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
passengers into King's Cross in 1 hour 22 minutes. The Government is | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
talking about spending a lot of money on North/ Rail. It's cross | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
country that we need a lot more help. The service would be improved | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
because there is always too many people on it. If the train was more | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
frequent, it would be better. From Nottingham toll Newark in the | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
evening you have two coaches. You have a lot more people commuting | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
from work or university, like myself, who want to get home, yet | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
you can't get a seat. That's bad service. The Castle line opened? 18 | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
46 and is regarded as an an important railway. That's why local | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
politicians want new investment to cut journey times. We all want this | :05:35. | :05:49. | |
to succeed right outside our constituency. It's emerged that the | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
message has yet to reach a Transport Minister. The department has | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
received no comment from Nottinghamshire County Council or | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
Lincoln conshire County Council Council. We haven't seen a business | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
case. Council is the organisation that lobbies for our region say it | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
is's disappointed. A business case has been made. Maybe on the Castle | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
Line these things take much longer to arrive. Football now, and both | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
Leicester and Derby were in action tonight. The Foxes beat Birmingham | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
2`1 to set a new club record of eight League wins in a row. Derby | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
were 2`0 down to Yeovil at half time, but they fought back to win | :06:36. | :06:36. | |
3`2. Now a look at the weather: were 2`0 down to Yeovil at half | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
time, but We are in nor a short, sharp cold snap over the next few | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
days. The showers will diminish tomorrow. Some could turn wintry. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
For the time being it's wetness we have in store for tonight. There | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
could be a wintry element to the showers later on in the night across | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
the Peak District. For most it will be rain showers. It is relatively | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
mild, four or five Celsius our lowest temperature. Grim start to | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
tomorrow morning, cloud and showers. The showers will merge for a time | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
during the morning time. They may turn wintry as the cold air feeds in | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
with highs of five Celsius. Colder still on Thursday, 0 | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
with highs of five Celsius. Colder still on Thursday, wet, windy and | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
mild again by Friday. That's about it from the late team. From all of | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
us, goodbye. | :07:28. | :07:31. |
