This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and me, Geeta Pendse. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
Tonight, a jury was told of two confrontations that ended whth the | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
fatal stabbing of a young football coach. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
Two teenagers are in the dark accused of murdering Antoin Akpom | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
last year. Also tonight, the pioneering spinal | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
surgery helping people like Thaine life a normal life. It's grdat to be | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
the first one to have this `nd I hope everyone that has scolhosis can | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
have this operation. Plus, filling the void. A ndw | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
campaign to reach their thotsands left alone and lonely. Loneliness is | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
so destructive to people's health, physical and mental, and it's lovely | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
that there is a campaign dr`wing attention to ways of allevi`ting it. | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
And why this minibus is bound for Africa laden with artificial legs. | :00:56. | :01:09. | |
Good evening. Welcome to Tudsday's programme. A murder trial h`s heard | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
that "bad feeling" and a long running rivalry led to a street | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
confrontation and the fatal stabbing of a football coach in Leicdster. | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
The victim, Antoin Akpom, w`s said to have led a group of men from a | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
nearby gym and was carrying a dumb`bell when he was attacked. Our | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
chief news reporter, Quentin Rayner, is at Stafford Crown Court for us | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
tonight. Good evening. Today we have heard | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
how to confrontations within seconds of each other lead to the stabbing | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
of 20`year`old Antoin Akpom. Five hours later, for members of the same | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
family were killed in a house fire two doors down from one of the | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
defendants' family home. Thd court was told that the tragedy w`s that | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
none of the occupants had anything to do with the stabbing. | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
20`year`old Antoin Akpom was described today by a close friend | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
who attended to him after hd was stabbed as an all`round gre`t guy. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
But for a year there had bedn a bad feeling between him and Abdtl | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
Hakim. In the early evening of September the 12th last year, the | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
football coach spotted him `nd another 19`year`old, Hussein | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
Hussein, in Kent Street. After an initial confrontation, Antohn Akpom | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
ran to a nearby gym. Seconds later, he ran back with the group of nine | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
men to confront the teenagers again. Witnesses say they saw the football | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
coach carrying a dumbbell and one of his group shouted, you're a dead | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
man, and appeared to be the aggressors. The court heard Antoin | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
Akpom was seen exchanging ptnches with the two teenagers before | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
emerging with a blood stain on his upper back then collapsing hn the | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
street. After fleeing to London the 19`year`olds were arrested. Both | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
deny murder. The prosecution claim Hussein wielded the knife btt he | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
claims Abdul Hakim told him he'd stabbed Antoin Akpom becausd he was | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
scared after he swung a dumbbell at him. Abdul Hakim said he never saw a | :03:06. | :03:16. | |
knife. Mr Hakim told the police he intended to return to Leicester | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
after hearing about a fire two doors down from his mother's home. Four | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
members of a family were killed The jury was told the tragedy w`s that | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
the occupants had nothing to do with the Kent Street incident. Rhchard | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
Latham QC said whoever did this if it had anything to do with the | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
stabbing, got the wrong house. It was a ghastly, ghastly event. The | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
trial is expected to last jtst over two weeks. | :03:39. | :03:49. | |
I gather that this afternoon the court heard from Antoin Akpom's | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
close friend who was with hhm when he was stabbed. | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
Yes, they had been friends since they were 12 and they ran a business | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
together providing football coaching and fitness for schools. He was with | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
his friend at the time of the confrontation will stop he was asked | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
by the rustic `ish and if Antoin Akpom had said anything beforehand | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
about trouble, he replied no. He also said it took an ambulance long | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
time to get their hand that the police had blocked the road off He | :04:25. | :04:33. | |
will continue his evidence here tomorrow morning. | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
A man has denied ordering the shooting of a Derby teenager six | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
years ago. Kadeem Blackwood was murdered in Caxton Park in Sunnyhill | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
in 2008. Callum Campbell adlitted pulling the trigger and is hn | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
prison. The prosecution clahm Michael Hamblett`Sewell orddred the | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
shooting and stood by Campbdll's side as he did it. But, tod`y in | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
court, he said he had no idda a gun would be involved and thought it | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
would be a one`on` one fight between Campbell and Kadeem. The retrial | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
continues. A shoe repair shop in Derby is now | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
in need of repair itself after a car smashed into it in the earlx hours | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
of this morning. This is thd moment when the front of John's Shoe | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
Repairs near the city centrd was badly damaged. Police were called to | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
the incident just after 4:30AM. The driver was arrested at the scene on | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
suspicion of drink`driving, but was bailed to go to hospital. | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
Still to come ` the scourge of loneliness. | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
We speak to broadcaster Esther Rantzen about a new campaign to help | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
the growing number of peopld who find themselves alone. | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
Now the extraordinary story of a young boy who faced life in a | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
wheelchair, only to be saved by becoming one of the first pdople in | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
the country to get pioneering surgery. | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
The parents of Thaine Marston, who is from Long Eaton, fought for him | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
to get the new procedure after discovering his spine was ctrved. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
They were thrilled when a strgeon at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
agreed to help, as Jo Healex reports. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
Doing this was something Th`ine feared may never happen. He was | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
diagnosed with early onset scoliosis. It felt like a strain on | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
my back, but I also felt upset and hurt emotionally because I would not | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
believe that it could happen to me. But it did. You can see herd the | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
curves in his spine. Tradithonally he would have endured many | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
operations, his spine fused and unable to grow much. But thhs | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
surgeon agreed to fit Thaind with new magnetic rods. He basic`lly has | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
something like a scaffolding which holds his spine upright, as well as | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
allowing us to distract these rods according to his growth. We can | :06:57. | :07:06. | |
locate them on the x`ray and put a strong magnet on the skin and that | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
causes the motorised section of the rods to lengthen. So no operations | :07:10. | :07:21. | |
and Thaine can move and crucially grow. ?? FORCEDYELLOW I feel really | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
happy. I think I have been one of the luckiest boys in the UK. It is | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
100% better than the other option. It is straightforward and ldss | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
intrusive and it makes his life much better. He could have been hn a | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
wheelchair. I could have bedn pushing a wheelchair around. But | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
with this magnetic spine he has got, it is fantastic. It is piondering | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
work and that is what we ard trying to push forward at the Queen's | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
Medical Centre. Only about 200 people in the world have had it so | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
Thaine's mum and dad did have to push for it. I felt really happy and | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
proud of them that they put a lot of work into it to help me get the best | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
lifestyle and I have loved them for it all the time. | :08:09. | :08:17. | |
The Police Commissioner for the region's biggest force has described | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
the translation services usdd by police and courts as "crap". Paddy | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
Tipping was responding to claims that Nottinghamshire Police are | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
struggling to deal with fordign nationals. | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
His outspoken remarks were lade while he was talking to our Social | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Affairs Correspondent, Jerely Ball ` who's here now. Why's he got so hot | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
under the collar? Because the police and courts rely | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
on interpreters to deal with foreign nationals who can't speak English. | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
Both people who've been arrdsted and with people who've been victims of | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
crime. Now if you look at this list of languages, you can see what | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
they're up against. It's thd 40 languages that Nottinghamshhre | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
Police had to get translated last year. And that cost the force almost | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
?400,000. But this conference heard complaints that interpreters often | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
aren't available when they're needed. And Paddy Tipping told me | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
that he's particularly worrhed about agencies who translate for the | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
police, on the phone or in courts. And he used some very strong | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
language to call for their contracts to be scrapped. | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
If we do not have the tools to do the job and we haven't got ` | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
contract that delivers, then it is costing us all money. It is not good | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
for the offenders, the victhms, and in terms of public justice. ?? | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
FORCEDWHITE do you regret using the term "crap" to describe this | :09:39. | :09:47. | |
service? I think you need to tell it as it is. And this is, let le say it | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
on camera, a crap scheme. It needs to be taken away, torn up, started | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
again. Has there been any response? | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
Yes. As you can imagine, thd translation services involvdd are | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
putting up a very stout defdnce For the courts, Capita told me ht is | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
meeting its national targets. I ve also heard from Language Line, who | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
provide interpreters on the phone for Nottinghamshire Police. They say | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
the force is clear that it hs happy with the service and doesn't have | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
any concerns. There has been some clarification from Paddy Tipping | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
too, because, although he w`s responding to concerns about what is | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
happening in Nottinghamshird, he says he is complaining about the | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
translation service nationally. And I suspect those complaints will have | :10:27. | :10:36. | |
been heard loud and clear tonight. The family of a woman who wdnt | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
missing nearly four months `go have been told by police that thdy have | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
found a body in Nottinghamshire 59`year`old Elaine Harrison | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
disappeared from her houseboat at Castle Marina in Nottingham in | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
December. Underwater search teams made the discovery at 11am this | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
morning close to Colwick Park. Formal identification is yet to take | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
place but the death is not thought to be suspicious. | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
A Leicester speedway cycling club faces a repair bill of thousands of | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
pounds after intruders brokd into its clubhouse and wrecked the | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
building. They set fire to the kitchen and spattered paint across | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
the walls and furniture of the Leicester Monarchs club basdd in | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Frog Island. The club estim`tes the total cost of repairing the damage | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
will be around ?6000. It is completely devastating. You | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
can probably expect people to break in to try and steal things, but when | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
you look around and see what they have done ` they have just wrecked | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
the place. We're a communitx sports club and we cannot replace what they | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
have done. Next, the anger felt by people with | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
disabilities over the Government's controversial "fitness to work" | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
tests. At a protest today, campaigners claimed the assdssments | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
are leaving many people who can t work without any support. | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
Ministers insist the procedtres are fair. They say they want disability | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
payments to go to people who need them most. Simon Ward reports from | :11:57. | :12:07. | |
Leicester. Who should be told to go out and get | :12:08. | :12:16. | |
a job and who should get benefits? These protestors are unhappx with | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
the tests called Work Capabhlity Assessments. I agree that bdnefits | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
it should go to those who nded them. I disagree that the governmdnt wants | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
that to happen. They have sdt things up to cut down the number of people | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
getting disability benefits, when less than one percent of those | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
claiming disability benefits were committing fraud in the first place. | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
The company that carries out the tests, ATOS, is losing its contract | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
early next year after criticism None of these campaigners are having | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
to appeal, but they say the process of assessment is unfair. We think | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
that the DWP should be carrxing out assessments by itself. We do not | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
think that assessments should be carried out for profit by a private | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
contractor. In a statement the Department for Work and Pensions | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
told us the majority of people on Disability Allowance receivd awards | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
without reassessments and the new Personal Independence Payment | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
includes face`to`face assessments and reviews to ensure the stpport | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
goes to those who need it most. Loneliness is as damaging to the | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
long term health of the elddrly as smoking or obesity. That's the claim | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
being made by Age UK. Today the broadcaster Esther Rantzen was in | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
Nottingham to support a loc`l campaign to help tackle londliness. | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
It coincides with a new reghonal survey showing thousands of older | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
people feel trapped in their own homes. Tom Brown reports. | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
Many people dream of retirelent but for Colin Harrison it was one of the | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
toughest times of his life. After leaving work aged 16 C was left | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
living alone with nothing to do `` aged 60, he was. I think work | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
provides structure and gives you a reason to do things. Unforttnately | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
when you retire you have to find those things yourself. Over 1 | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
million people in the UK ovdr 6 continually feel lonely. Thdir | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
charity Age UK says thousands of people in Nottinghamshire fdel | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
trapped in their own home whth many admitting their main companx is the | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
television. Today a conference was held in Nottingham to give `dvice to | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
anyone struggling to cope on their own. The need to meet peopld and be | :14:43. | :14:51. | |
part of what is going on. Wd are asking people to do small things | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
like smile or say hello. We are asking them to think about ways to | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
extend their social network to include new people. I think | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
loneliness is so destructivd to people's health, physical and | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
mental. It is likely there hs a campaign drawing attention to ways | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
of alleviating it. It is cl`imed that loneliness is as damaghng to | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
their health as smoking or drinking. Colin agrees that a simple smile | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
could prevent the pain of bding by yourself. Over the years on this | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
programme we've featured quhte a few epic charity treks. | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
But this one's a little different. This challenging journey involves a | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
minibus stacked to the roof with five hundred artificial legs. The | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
prosthetic limbs are being driven from Leicester to the Afric`n state | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
of Gambia. That is a bum`nulbing 4,000 miles. So, where have the legs | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
come from ` and who will be using them? We have been collecting these | :15:55. | :16:06. | |
prosthetic legs for the last 12 months from charities and hospital | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
departments across the UK. To have a new prosthetic leg built costs | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
between ?5000 and ?15,000. So those amputees out in the Gambia do not | :16:13. | :16:20. | |
have a chance of funding a new one. So what we do is we send out these | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
redundant prosthetic legs from here and they will customise thel to be | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
reused over there. It all c`me about three years ago, during a trip to | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
the Gambia. We met a wonderful family, but the father of the family | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
had lost his leg from diabetes. We could see first`hand how difficult | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
that was for everyone. So wd went about and we found him a new | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
prosthetic leg. Since then our cause has grown from that one leg to a van | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
full of 500 prosthetic legs. So these are going to the Royal | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
Victoria Teaching Hospital hn the Gambia where there is a real need | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
because of their problems whth diabetes and landmines. We have | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
nearly loaded the van now rdady for Africa. We even have a spard engine | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
on board. I am confident we will make it. The van already has 18 ,000 | :17:05. | :17:16. | |
miles on it. I don't see thhs as a problem, another 4000 miles will not | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
hurt. You can follow the progress of our trip on our Facebook page, Legs | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
for Africa. And please wish us the best of luck. | :17:32. | :17:41. | |
"Forget the Hype." That is the message from Leicester City Manager | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
Nigel Pearson. But it is hard to do. The Foxes go into tonight's game at | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
Wigan needing a maximum of just seven points from eight gamds to | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
confirm their promotion to the Premier League. Kirsty Edwards looks | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
ahead. Nigel Pearson will tell you nothing | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
has been won yet. He is right of course, but it is easy to sde why so | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
many people think the Foxes have promotion in the bag. The whn over | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
Burnley saw Leicester go six points clear at the top. They are ` whole | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
15 points ahead of third pl`ce and they have been nothing short of | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
consistent. 19 games now thdy have gone unbeaten in the League and they | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
certainly do not want that run to end tonight. Unbeaten is ond thing, | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
but we want to win as many games as we can. We have to try and keep | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
focused and not get involved with the hype that is becoming slightly | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
more noticeable. The players should enjoy it but also understand there | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
is a job to be done. Leicester have benefited from a very settldd side | :18:46. | :18:55. | |
this season. But when needed, they have showing real strength `nd | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
depth. Just like on Saturdax when striker Jamie Vardy had to be | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
replaced by Chris Wood ` who went on to score a great goal. The players | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
are very much supportive of each other. You can only ever have 1 in | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
the starting plan, but the competition is very very kedn and | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
the players recognise more than anything that our collectivd success | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
is probably more important than any individual's situation. The dream of | :19:20. | :19:29. | |
Premier League football herd next season is so close now. Thex have | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
eight games left to make th`t dream a reality. Kirsty Edwards, BBC East | :19:34. | :19:41. | |
Midlands today, Leicester. While Leicester stride towards | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
promotion, Derby and Forest are both thinking of play`offs. Semifinal | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
dates have now been confirmdd. The two two`legged matches will be | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
completed over a lively fivd days between the eighth and 12th of May. | :19:51. | :20:01. | |
Big rugby 's Leicester Tigers go into the Heineken cup this weekend | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
as underdogs. The Tigers have returned to form in their l`st two | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
games after struggling this season. They have not lost a home for nearly | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
five years. We are looking forward to the challenge. As a sportsman you | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
look forward to the biggest gains and you want to challenge yourself. | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
I am sure that they are looking to go one step further to win ht this | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
year but we will be doing everything we can to stop them. | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
The cricket season started today ` and that is not an April Fool! Our | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
first season preview is at Derbyshire, where the new Dhrector | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
of Performance, Graeme Welch, has a target to get them promoted straight | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
back to Division One. He is a familiar face at the three @ County | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
Ground. He played there for seven years. But today he was the man in | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
charge watching, with me, hhs men take on Durham University. How good | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
is it to see them out there again for the new season? It is brilliant. | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
We have had 12 good weeks of preparation and they are all | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
champing at the bit to get out there. Personally, how are xou | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
feeling? Back somewhere you are clearly loved. We saw someone on the | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
stairs talking about the past, how does it feel for you? It has been | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
great to come back. It is lhke I have never left. I have been away | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
for seven years in different parts of the country, but as soon as the | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
job came up it was a no`brahner really. Back to where I plaxed for | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
seven or eight years. I havd got really fond memories of this place. | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
What makes it special? It is the people in the club. In 2000, the | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
club took me under their wing and it is just a great place with great | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
people. The facilities are good Everything is looking good `t the | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
moment. A new role, are you feeling the pressure off it? I wantdd to put | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
myself under pressure. I wanted to challenge myself. We have good | :21:49. | :21:58. | |
people under us so it should be good. It is a difficult job, but it | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
is one I am looking forward to. You have got a squad that only narrowly | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
missed out on staying in thd first division, can they go back `t the | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
first attempt? I can't see why not to be honest. There are a lot of | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
processes in place and we h`ve done a lot of technical work. Thdy are | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
probably fitter than they h`ve ever been. All we can do is prep`re them | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
for when they go over the white line and I think they are in a good place | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
at the moment. Are they enjoying it? They seem to be. The first game of | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
the season at the moment so they are all excited, but we will sed how the | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
are in June, July, and August when it is actually hard work. | :22:37. | :22:38. | |
Finally, he was Nottingham's forgotten sporting hero ` btried in | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
an unmarked grave and overlooked by fans for decades. After an | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
outstanding career as a footballer in the late 19th century, Thnsley | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
Lindley died in 1940 aged 74. Now 74 years later, he's finally rdceived a | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
headstone worthy of his memory. Paul Bradshaw reports. | :22:53. | :23:06. | |
I delight in life and now rdcognised in death `` idolised. Tinsldy | :23:07. | :23:16. | |
Lindley laid in an unmarked grave but now this handsome new m`rker has | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
been unveiled in his memory. The new Greystone is down to this m`n from | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
Silverdale. He has spent thd last nine months raising the ?5,000 | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
through auctions and donations to pay for their memorial. I al very | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
proud. It has been hard work. I am pleased at the way it has ttrned | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
out. I have a lot of people to thank. Tinsley Lindley had ` | :23:42. | :23:50. | |
remarkable sporting career playing for Nottingham Forest and not | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
County, he went on to score many goals and eventually captained the | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
national team. He also playdd cricket for Nottinghamshire. What | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
has been done here is fantastic He has taken so much of his tile and | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
effort to get to where we are today and to unveil it. The centrd forward | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
when termites are nearly three quarters of a century `` went | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
unmarked. It is looking pretty good for | :24:25. | :24:39. | |
tomorrow and the next coupld of days. We have low`pressure `nchored | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
to the west the bus allowing us to draw in warm southerly winds. We can | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
see that we have a weather front pushing its way into night which may | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
bring some showers. But aftdr that, we are looking at a decent day | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
tomorrow. Temperatures could be 18`19 degrees. For the rest of the | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
evening and tonight we will be dry, but later the clouds will increase | :25:15. | :25:26. | |
and some showers. But the Chavez will be fairly isolated. `` these | :25:27. | :25:37. | |
showers. The son will start to poke through in the early hours of the | :25:38. | :25:46. | |
morning. There will be closdd at times and the temperatures `re | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
dependent on where the sunshine is. But possibly 17, 18, or even 19 | :25:54. | :26:03. | |
degrees. Some uncertainty for the buyers the `` for Thursday, but it | :26:04. | :26:12. | |
will get to us eventually. We will be back later, Intel then h`ve a | :26:13. | :26:14. | |
good evening. Goodbye. All across the country, millions of | :26:15. | :26:42. | |
families are waking up to a Britain in which they find it harder to get | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
on. Whilst the Government keeps telling people everything is fixed, | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
many are finding that hard work no longer stops the pound in their | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
pocket getting smaller, or the bills getting harder to afford. Under | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
David Cameron, gas and electricity bills have increased by more than | :26:59. | :27:00. | |
?300 for an average family, | :27:01. | :27:02. |
