military activity in the area tonight. That is all from | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies, and me, Dominic Heale. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Tonight ` a police force under fire over a rape investigation. Former | :00:09. | :00:17. | |
policeman Trevor Gray was acquitted, but only after his wife tracked down | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
a key witness. It raises a puestion, did they have a preconceived idea | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
that he was guilty? Also denied, the firm 's tr`ining an | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
army of apprentices, and thdre are more in the pipeline. | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
Plus, why we should all learn to use defibrillators. If it happened and | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
you didn't know what to do, and you're stood there waiting for | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
someone who does. And how this woman's swapped the | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
suburbs for the mud and blood of a battlefield hospital. | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
Welcome to Friday's programle. First tonight, the Police Federathon says | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
the case of a detective who was wrongly convicted of rape r`ises | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
serious questions about the integrity of the original | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
investigation carried out bx Nottinghamshire police. | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
Trevor Gray only cleared his name after his wife tracked down a key | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
witness who'd been missed bx the police. The former detectivd now | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
wants his job back, but the Force says it's waiting for the ddcision | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
of an appeal tribunal. Here's our Chief News reporter Quentin Rayner. | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
Former detective Trevor Grax is a free man only because his whfe | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
turned detective. After he was wrongly convicted, she discovered a | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
key witness had not been tr`ced With an four days of her putting out | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
an appeal, the taxi driver was found. His evidence was crucial in | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
overturning the conviction. The family complained about the way the | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
case was investigated, only to find the officers assess in their | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
complaint were the same ones who carried out the original | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
investigation. I have littld, if any, faith in that team. I | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
complained about themselves and the manner in which they conducted the | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
investigation. Integrity, honesty, transparency? Questionable. The | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
police Federation is funding his appeal. It raises the assumption | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
that they had a preconceived idea that the start that they have | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
apparently not even looked for that is... Such a crucial defencd | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
witness. It raises the question with me, did they have a preconcdived | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
idea that he was guilty and they have a preconceived idea th`t he was | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
guilty and therefore stop looking for the truth? The IPCC is `lso | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
looking at the case. Absolutely delighted. The IPCC commisshoner has | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
assured me that a fully inddpendent investigation will be carridd out. | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
Nottinghamshire police said Mr Gray is appealing his dismissal. In a | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
statement, the force said, we take any report of sexual assault and | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
rape extremely seriously and have a duty to investigate such | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
allegations. Whoever they are made against. Trevor Gray says hd just | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
wants his job back. His appdal should be heard by June. | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
Next tonight ` learning a skill and getting paid for it. In the old days | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
apprenticeships were a common route into the world of work ` and now | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
they're back. Across the country the numbdr of | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
apprenticeships is rocketing as the Government encourages more companies | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
to give young people a chance. Which is why the Skills Minhster was | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
in Leicester this afternoon visiting a state of the art training academy | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
run by one of our biggest elployers. Mike O'Sullivan is there now. | :03:43. | :03:52. | |
Give us a clue who this employer is. It is a big`name company, British | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
Gas, which could trace the hndustry back to 1822 here in Leicester, when | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
the gas street lighting was turned on. Today the company emploxs around | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
about 4000 people in Leicestershire alone. It has got the | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
state`of`the`art training academies. Part of the apprenticeships boom | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
across the region. The skills Mr takes a look at some hands`on | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
training. This is the British Gas Academy in Leicester. 50 people | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
apply for each training place. Graduates and the over 20 is | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
competing. Really lucky to be here, there was a lot of good people in | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
the interview. I want to get as much out of this as I can. If yot have | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
got a keen eagerness to learn, why not? The government is pourhng lots | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
of money into subsidising apprenticeship training. Just over | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
?1 billion nationally in 2009/1 . And around ?1.4 billion last year. | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
The number of apprenticeship starts in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshhre and | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
Leicestershire, and their corresponding cities, stood at more | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
than 33,000 last year. That is up more than 73% on 2009`10. At British | :05:04. | :05:13. | |
Gas, they received ?9,000 from the taxpayer towards the ?40,000 cost of | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
training each apprentice. Wd have got leading facilities, which you | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
can see here today. And we `re proud to have that. We offer the hndustry | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
engineers. I want to see thd new norm that people, when they leave | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
school, either go to university or into an apprenticeship. It hs our | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
job in government not to push them one where the other, becausd | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
university is right for somd people but not for everybody, it is our job | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
to make sure there are good options available. British Gas hopes to | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
train hundreds more engineers this year at this Academy. The mhnister | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
was here as part of National apprenticeships week, the rtn`up to | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
that, which is next week. In Nottingham, the city council is due | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
to announce that they are t`king on 50 new apprentices in the | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
neighbourhood services Department. Derby College is an apprenthceships | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
open evening on Tuesday. Thd Leicester apprenticeships htb is due | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
to be started on Wednesday. For details, search online or check out | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
social media. Thanks very much indeed. | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
Still to come ` skills of a different kind. Thousands of | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
schoolchildren learn how to save a life. | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
Plus, from art heavyweights to new talent. While Nottingham's Light | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
Night is going to be an illtminating experience. | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
The man accused of the attelpted murder of a Sikh spiritual leader is | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
to face a retrial after a jtry failed to reach a verdict. Harjit | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
Singh Toor from Oadby in Leicestershire attacked the Guru | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
with an axe at a Leicester temple. His Holiness Sirisat Guru Uday Singh | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
suffered a broken arm and a cut to his face. Toor said he only intended | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
to hurt him and has admitted grievous bodily harm. The rdtrial is | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
due to start at the end of next month. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Next tonight ` creating a gdneration of life`savers. Thousands of | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
children are taking part in the new Heartsafe campaign. | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
It's about learning what to do if someone has a cardiac arrest. A | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
local heart specialist wants to train every secondary school pupil | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
in Leicester and Leicestershire Our health correspondent Rob Sissons | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
reports A union says staff `t a Derbyshire factory have been | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
completely devastated by thd news that 360 jobs are to go. | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
There are about 60,000 cardhac arrest a week. About half of these | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
are attended by the emergency medical services, and only 00% | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
survive. Minutes are vital. Thousands of people will be involved | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
in Heartsafe, one aim, to create life`savers. If you don't t`ke the | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
head back, you won't get anx air in. Would you know what to do whth | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
somebody stopped breathing properly? The pupils are being taught CPR | :08:13. | :08:21. | |
Ante to use a later. `` and how to use eight fib relate. The children | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
are fantastic. They act straightaway. Lights will bd saved. | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
The idea came from a heart specialist to dreams of mord lives | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
being saved. These pupils are first target, beyond that, straight into | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
other years in schools, famhlies, sports clubs. Heartsafe has a | :08:45. | :08:53. | |
high`profile backer. If it happened, and you're just stood here waiting | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
for someone who does... One`woman collapse playing rounders. People | :08:59. | :09:08. | |
gathered around me, kicking me. It is amazing, the people who have come | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
together. You don't expect ht to be a strenuous as it is. The bhg hope | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
is that today's children will be tomorrow's life`savers. | :09:20. | :09:42. | |
A union says staff at a Derbyshire factory have been completelx | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
devastated by the news that 360 jobs are to go. Sandvik in Swadlhncote is | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
closing production of construction machinery and moving the opdration | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
to Northern Ireland. The firm blames the slow pace of the global economic | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
recovery. James Roberson reports. Today, the factory here in | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
Swadlincote is quiet, as thd vast majority of workers are at home day | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
jesting the information that 36 jobs are to go. News the unhons say | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
that came completely out of the blue. The jobs are to go ovdr the | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
next 12 months as the firm consolidates this factory's | :10:08. | :10:08. | |
operations with its plant in Northern Ireland. The community the | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
subcontractors in the supplx chain, they are affected. It is devastating | :10:14. | :10:22. | |
for those members in the workplace. Sandvik, which makes heavy | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
construction machinery, says they could not run two UK plans. Hence | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
the move to County Tyrone. We have not seen any real market recovery | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
since the post`financial crhsis of 2009. The local MP says she is | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
hopeful other firms like Toxota Nestle and Brunel health care may | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
have alternative positions. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. No stone | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
will be left unturned. Workhng with Unite, working with managemdnt, | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
rectors, we want to make sure those that want to have another job will | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
find one. My next step is to get some cancers from the company, we | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
were just told about this yesterday. We are totally in the | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
dark. 80 jobs are being ret`ined in Swadlincote. The union starts talks | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
tomorrow `` on Monday. Nottinghamshire county council has | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
been criticised for dropping a welfare scheme for people f`cing | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
financial hardship. The council approved the axing of the Wdlfare | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
Assistance Fund yesterday as part of its budget plans for the next | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
financial year. One of the biggest charities in the | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
county says the decision will hurt those already suffering the most. | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
Navtej Johal reports. This man has had a rough six months. | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
He has Asperger's syndrome `nd spent a month in hospital after stffering | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
psychotic episodes. Despite his situation, he was not eligible for a | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
Nottingham county council scheme, set up to help vulnerable pdople as | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
he was still employed. I felt rejected. If I can't get thd funding | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
in my circumstances, who can? Through the help of a charity and a | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
food bank, he has managed to get by, but he is one of many who h`s been | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
turned down. One in four have had their application approved. And only | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
around 10% of the money has been spent so far. Charities havd | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
criticised the authority for making the criteria too harsh. The | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
eligibility criteria is incredibly rigid. Many people find it `lmost | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
impossible to access the fund, which explains the underspend. I think we | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
targeted the resources perfdctly. We can use some of the fund we have not | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
spent to provide services to people we have got a statutory is | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
responsibility to. The council decided to end the fund as part of | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
next year's budget. But where can people turn? Supporting people | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
through our benefit advice service, we will retain full benefit workers, | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
support people through supporting people programme. Even though he did | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
not get the hell, this man hs hoping he can move on to a better chapter | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
in his life. `` did not get the help. | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
From Tracy Emin to Sarah Lucas, illuminating works by some of the | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
UK's best known artists are featuring in a new exhibition of | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
neon creations. It's part of Nottingham's annual | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
Light Night ` an event that could also turn the spotlight on the work | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
of local artists. Geeta Pendse reports. | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
If you are rushing to catch a train at Nottingham station, it would be | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
very easy to miss this building But those inside are hoping you will | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
pause for a minute so they can illuminate your thoughts. From Tracy | :13:55. | :14:04. | |
M into Sarah Lucas, these ndon works have been brought together `s part | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
of Nottingham's Light Night. It all came about at this woman met Andy | :14:10. | :14:18. | |
Colin Shaw, . A curator who happens to be friends with the artists. It | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
is a great thing to have thdse artists exhibit out of London in a | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
gallery in this crazy littld gallery on top of a really old building in | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
the middle of Nottingham. It is quite special to have art of this | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
calibre. In order to create this light effect, these tubes are | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
moulded out of glass in temperatures of up to 500 Celsius. They `re then | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
filled with argon gas and sdaled off so that when they come into contact | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
with the source of electrichty, you get this light. Tonight, thd | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
spotlight will also be on ndw talent. These porcelain sculptures | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
were made to collaborate Thd Great War. `` to commemorate the great | :15:04. | :15:13. | |
War. These works will be lighting up the walls for another six wdeks | :15:14. | :15:24. | |
You need to go up how many flaws? I think there is a fourth floor, tiny | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
little room. Still to come ` more evidence of our | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
personal connections with the Great War. I meet the proud nephew of this | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
young Nottingham woman who volunteered to be a nurse and lost | :15:34. | :15:42. | |
her life in Northern France. It is time for sport. Doubld trouble | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
tonight. Why have one sports presentdr when | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
you can have two? Natalie is here because we want to take a closer | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
look at our other two clubs first. She will take a look through it | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
Let's start with Leicester, shall we? Can they continue to stdam | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
roller the division? The bookies certainly think so, they have got | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
them 10`1 to go up. They have also got odds of 33`1 for Leicester to | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
avoid defeat between now and the end of the season. And why not? | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
Leicester are looking good on the training field, they are eight | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
points clear at the top of the championship. 13 games unbe`ten | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
they have only lost once at home all season. Tomorrow they play Charlton | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
at the King Power Stadium. Charlton have been a little bit of a bogey | :16:37. | :16:46. | |
team. They are side that have been tough opponents for us in rdcent | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
years. They managed to beat us earlier in the season. It whll be a | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
tough game. They have got good players, tremendous spirit, Chris is | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
very thorough in his prepar`tion. We know it will be a tough gamd and we | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
will do our best to win it. That is Chris Powell. Angel` | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
Rafferty will be at Leicestdr tomorrow for us and we'll h`ve a | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
special feature on Monday. But what about Forest, Nat? There is quite a | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
story there, isn't there? Yds. Injuries dominating ahead of the | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
Wigan game at the City Ground tomorrow. We've got a graphhc here | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
which shows the extent. Nind players out, nearly a whole team. Shx of | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
them first`team regulars. The headline news is that Jack Hobbs has | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
an ankle stress fracture. That is a serious injury, it means thd | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
shortest timescale for him being out is six weeks. 6`10 weeks. On a | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
slightly brighter note, Andx Reid has had his hernia operation today, | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
and the early signs are that that went well. Thanks for a much indeed. | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
At the beginning, I said thd big game is Derby's. They are in third | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
place, and they go up against Burnley. | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
This is the Derby County kit room. Everything is ready in here to take | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
away for the big game. The players are ready as well. Time to see just | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
how far Derby County have come. It is certainly one which everyone | :18:18. | :18:36. | |
on the outside will be lookhng to. Can Burnley maintain what they are | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
doing? Can Derby continue their innocence climb to the top dchelons | :18:42. | :18:50. | |
of the Championship? We havd got a chance to play at an even bdtter | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
level. I give everything evdry day. We will try our hardest. Much has | :18:56. | :19:09. | |
been said about the free`flowing attacking football under Stdve | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
McClaren, but just recently, we have seen a different side. Less goals, | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
but at the back Derby have been unbreakable, they have kept three | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
clean sheets in a row. We wdre disastrous against Yeovil and | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
Birmingham, we conceded fivd goals in two games. That was a big shock. | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
We have looked at that, addressed it. Trying to get the balance | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
between still attacking and scoring goals, but making sure that we are | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
not that open but we can throw leads away. They certainly have not been | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
doing that lately, the Rams are unbeaten in their last seven games, | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
including five wins. What c`n they do against second`place Burnley Big | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
test for the team to see just how far we have come. Let's hopd we give | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
a performance and get a restlt. In League One, it's another tough | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
assignment for Notts County. They're struggling but have to face high | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
flying Rotherham away from home Notts currently four points from | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
safety. And Mansfield Town owe their fans a performance after behng | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
hammered by Bury. They're off to East London to take on Dagenham | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
Redbridge who are seven places but only two points above them. | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
In cricket, Nottinghamshire's Michael Lumb is making his One Day | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
debut for England in today's first ODI against the West Indies. His | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
Outlaws colleague Alex Hales had been expected to play too btt was | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
ruled out because of the knde strain. Stuart Broad was captain for | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
the first time, won the toss and fielded. The West Indies made 2 9`6 | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
in their 50 overs. England were 67 without loss, with Michael Lumb at | :20:52. | :21:08. | |
58. In rugby, we previewed Leicdster | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
Tigers last night ` they're off to Newcastle on Sunday and it's an | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
opportunity to cement their place in the all important Premiershhp Top | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
Four. And Nottingham Panthers homd game | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
with Sheffield tomorrow night is close to yet another sell ott. Less | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
than a couple of hundred se`ts left last we heard. | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
Now to the last in our week`long series of features about thd Great | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
War, and to a volunteer nurse from Nottingham called Dorothea Crewdson. | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
As the conflict raged on, Dorothea was sent to a succession of vast | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
military hospitals in Northdrn France to help treat thousands of | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
injured soldiers. In rare moments of relaxation she wrote a serids of | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
beautifully illustrated diaries chronicling the highs and lows of | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
her life. They've recently been published by her nephew Richard We | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
met up at a Church in Nottingham where Dorothea's memory is still | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
honoured today. I think his baby around herd. | :21:52. | :22:02. | |
Richard and his wife visit ` church. For Richard, this is the end of a | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
journey that began 25 years ago when he found seven small dharies in | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
a desk belonging to his father. The diaries were ridden by Rich`rd s `` | :22:11. | :22:19. | |
written I Richard's ant. Thhs is the first time I have been in this | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
church before. It is quite dxciting. My grandfather was the organist | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
here. I feel a bond which every created by coming here todax. | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
Dorothea Crewdson was a voltnteer nurse who from 1915 tended wounded | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
British soldiers behind the front line in France. Her diaries, | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
beautifully illustrated with pen and ink sketches, paint a vivid picture | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
of her water, water which she bore stoically. This is the beginning of | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
an entry on the 22nd of Aprhl. This is a sad, sad war indeed. It goes on | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
and on bringing so much destruction and misery with it. Her diaries | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
record highs and lows of life in military hospitals. Christm`ses in | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
particular were a of great joy. `` were a source of great joy. On a | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
couple of occasions, she refers to people going West, so peopld dying | :23:25. | :23:32. | |
would have been a common experience for her. If they could not get back | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
to Blighty, it was usually because they were too ill to survivd. They | :23:39. | :23:47. | |
died in the hospitals in Fr`nce In one entry, she gets quite nostalgic | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
for home, saying, they seem to be a good many Nottingham men in the | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
hospital just now. There ard familiar Lingle very pleasantly | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
reminiscent of home. She was awarded the military medal for bravdry and | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
survived the war, but only for three months. Like many of the soldiers | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
she treated, she was carried off by disease, not enemy fire. Her matron | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
wrote a letter to her parents, raking the news that she didd of | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
peritonitis. It was a dreadful shock to us all, as she was always | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
apparently so well and healthy. We later to rest at nine o'clock this | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
morning in a military cemetdry. She was loved by everyone, so thorough, | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
thoughtful and reliable. Anx patient who had her for a nurse was more | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
than fortunate. Wonderful, gentle and loyal, helping her mind as well | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
as her body. She is a seriots loss. A loss recorded here, the only woman | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
featured on this memorial to the fallen. The glorious and undying | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
memory of the men of Linton, she is almost tacked on. She deserves to be | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
there anyway. She did indeed. It has been a lovely | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
series. Very moving, some of it What do you think will last with you | :25:12. | :25:19. | |
the most? What struck you is that this is history, not in the sense of | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
Agincourt or 1066, there is evidence of World War I everywhere. People | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
still feel pretty sad and proud of their families' involvement. There | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
will still be plenty more to come over the year as well. Now ht is | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
whether time. We started getting reports very late | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
last night that the aurora borealis was visible in the UK, incltding | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
here in the East Midlands. Here is a sighting near Lincolnshire, another | :25:50. | :25:58. | |
beautiful view. If you are hoping for a similar opportunity tonight, | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
I'm afraid it is looking quhte slim, as this particular solar storm | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
is diminishing. There will be ample opportunity to see stars, plenty of | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
clear skies out there. That is the first day of the media wrotd logical | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
`` of the meteorological spring tomorrow. We're expecting freezing | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
fog in places. Saturday is looking quite promising, plenty of sunshine | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
to be had. More cloud and p`tchy rain on Sunday. While we sthll have | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
a few showers around, they `re going to start to ease, and it looks like | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
a largely dry night, clearing skies, and temperatures really takhng a | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
tumble, freezing if not below into parts of these Midlands. Quhte a bit | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
of fog starting to form by Dawn We had fog first thing, it will take | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
its time to clear and lift, then we're in for a fairly nice day. Lots | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
of early spring sunshine as we go through Saturday. Light winds, | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
variable winds through the day. It is going to be feeling fairly | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
pleasant, highs of seven Celsius. We start fairly promising on Stnday, | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
but we start to see cloud increase from the West with patchy lhght rain | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
and drizzle at times. This rain starts to make its way known towards | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
the end of the day on Sundax, a wet night on Sunday, taking us hnto a | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
wet start to the new week. The unsettled theme is continuing. But | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
you have got a lovely picture to brighten things up for us. | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
Yes, I kind of orangey one. We will leave you with this picture. | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
Thanks to Mo El`Fatih for this picture he took last night near | :27:40. | :27:41. | |
Buxton. Have a good weekend. Goodbye. | :27:42. | :27:46. |
