forget a first look at the papers over on the BBC News | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
explosions. And struggling with pollution, the latest. And now the | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
news for the East Midlands, I'm Dominic Heale. Good evening. Part of | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Leicester City centre was closed for a time tonight after two explosions | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
in the rush`hour. This photograph captured the moment of the second | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
blast near the railway stathon on London Road. Several streets were | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
sealed off after a fault in an underground electrical power cable | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
blew off two manhole covers. One of them went through the window of a | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
restaurant. Police said it was very lucky that no`one was injurdd. | :00:40. | :00:50. | |
Two manhole covers were blown up but really fortunate considering how | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
busy it is no one was injurdd. One of the covers, it has caused the | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
damage in the window causing one of the windows to shatter but luckily | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
nobody was injured inside the restaurant. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
As the countdown begins to the closure of the last deep mine in | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Nottinghamshire, the Prime Linister is promising the government will do | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
everything possible to help preserve jobs. Six hundred are under threat | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
at Thoresby after UK Coal announced it'll shut the colliery by next | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
Autumn. But a mining union says there's a way of keeping it open for | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
another four years. Here's our Chief News reporter Quentin Rayner. No | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
prizes for guessing what thd main use is in a nearby village. The | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
closure of Thoresby after 90 years. The fight to save the 600 jobs and | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
the fears and the affected will have on the village. | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
It has been the lifeblood of the village. I don't know whethdr people | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
will find work. It is such ` shame because the mining communitx is a | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
special place. You can see the pub has shut and | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
2500 men work there. Regarding business, we are not sure | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
what will happen because we are not sure what the knock`on effects | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
because many men travel in from the area. UK Coal says the government | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
must provide half of a ?20 lillion loan to keep the company solvent to | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
finance a structured closurd over 18 months. This morning the Prhme | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
Minister made this pledge. We will work as closely as we can, I | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
am trying to save jobs to m`ke sure we have diverse supplies of energy | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
so if we can help, we will help But the unions say there's a wax for the | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
pit to stay open for another four years. They want the governlent to | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
bid for European state aid to pay for a longer closure period. | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
We were in Brussels yesterd`y and the commissioner told us we can | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
apply, the British public c`n apply for state aid for closing of the | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
mines which would run out until 2018. But the local MP who's been in | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
talks with ministers and UK Coal for six weeks is sceptical. I al not | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
confident we can do that. Wd need to keep the dialogue open, I whll keep | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
the pressure on the minister but at the global price of coal picks up, | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
it is an economic to remain open. The 45 day consultation beg`n today | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
and with it the countdown to closure. Within 18 months the | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
headstock wheels are expectdd to stop spinning after ninety xears. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
Police have arrested a seventh man in connection with the disappearance | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
of a 15`year`old girl in Lehcester. Ana Simeonova was last seen by a | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
family member in the Lee Circle area of Leicester last Tuesday evening. | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
Five of the men arrested in the past week have been bailed. A 53`year`old | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
was arrested this evening and remains in custody. Tonight officers | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
have been carrying out door`to`door enquiries in the area. | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
Pollution levels here have risen up the scale tonight ` to an index of | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
eight ` officially categorised as 'high'. Ambulance bosses sax there's | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
been a ten per cent rise in the number of emergency calls from | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
people with breathing probldms. One Leicestershire man with cystic | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
fibrosis says it's left him a virtual prisoner. | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
Marius Gregory from Stoney Stanton is now on oxygen twenty`four hours a | :04:19. | :04:28. | |
day. Helen Astle reports. Another day, and more pollution In | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
the countryside as well as the cities, the picture is the same For | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
most of us, it is a talking point but for one man it is life changing. | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
He has cystic fibrosis, his lung capacity is that sent and the | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
pollution is having a big ilpact. Since yesterday I have had oxygen 24 | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
seven, I remain indoors. It is humid. The door is slightly open but | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
it has been affecting me. Hd is in the only one affected. East Midlands | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
Ambulance Service has seen ` 10 cents increase in 999 calls. Experts | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
say the current levels of ahr pollution are pretty rare. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
It is unusual to have quite similar factors all occurring at thd same | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
time, it is unusual and worth a special measures this week to | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
minimise the risk. My chest has been tight, I will not go out unless it's | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
an emergency. Other than th`t, if I need something from the shop, I will | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
bring my parents or get my fiance. Unless it is essential to move the | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
house `` leave the house, I went. It's the first time I've noticed | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
with the weather itself and that whether symptoms have needed the | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
oxygen more. My chest is tighter and I am breathless. Even sitting down | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
watching TV. As he rests at home, the pollution is slowly movhng. | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
Tomorrow, levels are expectdd to fall. Finally, Stuart Pearcd is the | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
new manager of Nottingham Forest. Pearce, who played more than four | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
hundred times for the Reds, will take over in July ` well after the | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
end of the current season. He insisted today that he'll h`ve | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
complete control over team selection and which players bought and sold. | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
That's your news. So, it's goodbye from me but with your weathdr now, | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
here's Anna Church. If you have been feeling the effects of the | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
pollution, you will be pleased to hear a change in wind direction | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
tonight to a south`westerly will help to clear away the pollttion. | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
Tonight, a cloudy story, thdre are outbreaks of rain around. Spells of | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
rain over the next few hours gradually clearing away to the north | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
as we go through the night. It remains cloudy with mist in places. | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
Tomorrow morning, a cloudy start across the East Midlands but with a | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
change in wind direction, I am hopeful the cloud will start to and | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
break to give bright and sunny spells as we go into the afternoon. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
Feeling pleasant in the sunshine with highs of 15 Celsius. S`turday, | :07:21. | :07:28. | |

on in the day. I leave you with the outlook for the | :07:34. | :07:34. | |
had today. That is the way the weather looks. Now the latest on the | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
pesky pollution. Good evening. They say a change of | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
air is good for you and that is what we have on the way. The brush that | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
will sweep away all of the air pollution is a | :07:50. | :07:52. |
