was my entire future was Paige and Reuben, you know, that was my | :00:59. | :01:08. | |
future. She touched a lot of lives and she was kind and loving and | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
everyone seemed to love her, you know and 0 | :01:14. | :01:14. | |
everyone seemed to love her, you know and spoil her. Paige was taken | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
to the Leicester Royal Infirmary and doctors tried to save her life and | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
the life of her baby, Reuben, who was born by emergency Caesarean, but | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
they both died. I'm so glad that I went to see them both so I could say | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
my last goodbyes to Paige and hold my baby boy. He looked like he was | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
sleeping, you know. There are dozens of tributes here as | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
you can see. This waun says heaven gained two beautiful angels. The | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
police as well as Paige and rubben's family are appealing for anyone who | :01:52. | :01:53. | |

might have seen anything at 6. 50am Saturday morning to come forward. | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
People that haven't come forward, that have seen it and haven't come | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
forward, that's heartless, you know. She was an innocent girl, you know, | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
an unborn child just going to work and stuff. Have a heart and you | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
know, say what you saw and whatever because if you don't, you are going | :02:17. | :02:21. | |

Senior church leaders from the East Midlands claim Government's cuts in | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
welfare benefits are forcing thousands of people into poverty and | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
hunger. The Anglican Bishops of Leicester, Derby and Sherwood have | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
sent a protest letter to the Prime Minister urging a change of policy. | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
Meanwhile, a parish priest is going on a 40 day hunger in protest at | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
welfare reforms. Here's our Political Editor, John Hess. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
The reverend doctor Keith sets off from his parish church on one of his | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
toughest missions yet. He is to fast for 40 days in protest at Government | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
cuts 0 for 40 days in protest at Government | :03:14. | :03:14. | |

cuts to welfare. Today, he was helping out at a nearby community | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
centre that distributes free food to people who have lost their State | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
benefits. We have got children going hungry. We have got parents missing | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
meals to feed children and reports of teachers giving, spending money | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
on children as they come into school because they haven't got food. The | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
foodbanks go to the heart of the political debate over the impact of | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
the Government's welfare reforms. Downing 0 | :03:41. | :03:40. | |
the Government's welfare reforms. Downing Street is adamant that its | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
welfare changes is about liberating people from a cycle of welfare | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
dependency. That's not outside the Government's message is seen here. | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
Since the welfare changes came into effect last April, we have seen an | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
increase in people who have got no income. Who have got lack in real | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
basic needs. It has been a reality check for us. Rather than giving | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
people advice, we have had to be giving food. An anxious father waits | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
to collect some food donations for his daughter and her three children. | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
She had her money stopped without warning. She couldn't stock up on | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
food or nothing and it is a God send really because she is able to come | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
here and get food to bring her children up. Many of our church | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
leaders say the benefits cuts are bringing increasing 0 | :04:33. | :04:33. | |
leaders say the benefits cuts are bringing increasing hardship. They | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
have to choose whether they are going to spend money on food or pay | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
the rent or pay the gas bills. That's a very difficult choice. | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
These are people who can't afford to buy the normal necessities of life, | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
who can't afford to get a haircut or repair shoes and they can't afford | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
to eat either and not just a few people, but hundreds of thousands | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
that is a national crisis. Keith starts his fast on 0 | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
that is a national crisis. Keith starts his fast on Ash Wednesday | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
after 40 days, he hopes his protest may have had some impact on | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
Government policy. Mark Spencer, the Conservative MP | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
for Sherwood, told me the rise in foodbanks 0 | :05:14. | :05:13. | |
for Sherwood, told me the rise in foodbanks is a symptom of a much | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
wider problem that must be tackled. What they should be talking about, | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
what Government is trying to address is people who are trapped within the | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
welfare system. We need to find a way to help people move from that | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
welfare trap into employment and be better off because the old system, | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
people found they couldn't get out of benefits because if they tried to | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
get a job and they were successful they ended up worse off financially. | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
Police say two men linked to a Leicestershire theatre are being | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
questioned on suspicion of possessing indecent images of | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
children. The Concordia in Hinckley is at the centre of an investigation | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
into alleged abuse. Two other men have been banned from the premises | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
after it was found they had previous convictions for child sex offences. | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
A fifth man linked to the theatre was convicted of serious sex | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
offences against youngsters last year. The county council says it | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
won't now issue licences for children to take part in productions | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
there. The Concordia itself hasn't commented. | :06:10. | :06:16. | |

That's your news. So, it's goodbye from me, but with your weather now, | :06:33. | :06:33. | |
here's Anna Church. We have had a fairly pleasant day. | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
If you got caught in one of the showers, you really did know about | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
it! It will be dry overnight with clear skies and feeling colder than | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
last night. So the showers have started to ease. The skies are | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
clearing and the temperatures will really drop quickly tonight. Really | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
cold with a low of two Celsius. It should stay frost`free 0 | :06:58. | :06:58. | |
cold with a low of two Celsius. It should stay frost`free for most of | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
us. It is the risk of frost into rural sheltered spots. Cold, but | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
beautiful start to Friday. Lots of winter sunshine. We will see more in | :07:09. | :07:11. | |

the way of cloud as we go through the day and one or two sharp | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
showers. The winds will be strengthening. We have got a strong | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
south`westerly wind. The it is not looking too bad on Saturday. Now a | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
look at your outlook which will be followed by the national forecast. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
the outlook. On Sunday, we have grey skies and a bit of drizzle, too. | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
Good evening. You may have had the latest from the Met Office about the | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
rainfall we have had this winter, the wettest winter on record. It is | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
sometimes difficult to visualise the numbers. Let me explain how much | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
rain we had. If you think about a stretch of land across the UK, we | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
had about half a metre of rainfall falling so far this winter. That is, | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
if the water didn't sleep into the ground. We have a huge amount of | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
water brought in by areas of low pressure. 15 of them have been big | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
storms, causing lots of damage. As far as the shorts is concerned, it | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
is just a breeze. We have a few shells on the horizon and that is | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
pretty much it. You can see where the weather is coming from the | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
moment. It has come in from the Atlantic. Just a few scatter shower | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
words here and there. It is going to | :08:28. | :08:29. |
