Moyes has been sacked after a season of blue results. He spent just ten | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
months This is East Midlands Today with | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Maurice Flynn and me, Anne Davies. Tonight: David Cameron visits the | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
region talking jobs, business and the region's economy. Why the Prime | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
Minister has come to visit this huge motorway construction site in | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
Leicestershire. The animal rescuer facing neglect. Also, youngsters are | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
dicing with death on the regions tracks. The railway is hazardous. | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
Not places for children to play. They are risking their lives. And a | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
theatre that whores always been ahead of the curve but find out why | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
this venue will have a musical using sophisticated special effects. | :00:51. | :01:02. | |
Good evening and welcome to the programme. First tonight, the Prime | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
Minister has told East Midlands Today that new businesses are | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
replacing jobs under threat in this region's traditional industries. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
David Cameron was in Leicestershire to see how our taxes are being spent | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
improving the motorway network. Let's cross to Catthorpe near | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
Lutterworth ` where our social affairs correspondent Jeremy Ball | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
has been following the visit. I started by asking asked PM why this | :01:24. | :01:32. | |
infrastructure project so important. This will be a huge new motorway | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
interchange linking to our busiest motorways, the M1 and the M6. This | :01:38. | :01:48. | |
is a project costing ?200 million. Today, the prime list came to see | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
how the money is being spent. He was accompanied by the Chancellor and | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
after looking at the plans they headed out to meet workers here. The | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
men and women who have been employed on this vast site. Afterwards, I | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
asked David Cameron why the scheme is so important for the region. It | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
is important to see for myself this important infrastructure project. We | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
need our roads to be working well, we need people to get around the | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
country, schemes like this improve road safety and everybody knows | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
where they meet there have been a lot of traffic, many accidents and | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
this will make things better. And this is about economic success | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
stories but in the East Midlands it has been a tough time. The last | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
cigarette factories closing down, and a mine is closing down. What you | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
say to those people? We need to grow the economy to | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
create new jobs and we are. There are over 1.5 million more people in | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
work today than four years ago. 72,000 more people in work in this | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
region. You see some industries facing difficult times but new | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
businesses and new jobs and investment are coming including | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
here. Many of the new jobs are part`time jobs, zero hours | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
contracts. That isn't what I want but if you look at the employment | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
figures, the biggest level of growth in permanent employment and | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
full`time jobs. In the East Midlands you see a fall in the number | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
claiming unemployment benefits, 5000 fewer unemployed than the last | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
election and a lot of new private`sector jobs and new | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
businesses starting up. 400,000 businesses nationwide, more than one | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
I became Prime Minister. We are seeing growth but what matters is | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
making sure the growth is filed across the country, not just in | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
London and transport has a huge role to play which is white motorway | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
scheme is matter and railways matter. I want the country to | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
benefit from this growth. It is no coincidence the Prime Minister and | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
Chancellor came to `` chose to come here because there is a European | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
election coming up next month. If the result doesn't go David | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Cameron's way, he might need more than hard hats and goggles to | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
protect him from the political fallout. | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
Thank you. Next tonight ` the owner of an animal rescue centre has | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
appeared in court to face more than 30 neglect charges. One of the | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
allegations relates to the death of a pig which made the news after it | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
was rescued from being kept in a house. Mike O'Sullivan reports, from | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
Stafford Magistrates' Court. The former veterinary nurse who | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
denies 31 charges of neglect at our animal rescue sanctuary. Lindsay | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Newall from Burton on Trent is facing the RSPCA allegations at | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
Stafford Magistrates' Court. She ran sanctuary in Etwall getting local | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
and national media coverage when she took in Babe the pig which had been | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
evicted after living with its owner a council house in Derby. The court | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
heard the pig was in good condition when she arrived at the sanctuary. | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
Concerns were raised about the welfare of animals by this | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
volunteer, and police and RSPCA raided the centre in November 2012. | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
The court heard the pig died as this man a trading standards officer | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
filmed the animal in a ramshackle pen. The RSPCA prosecutor said it | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
showed the pig was seriously undernourished, quite simply it died | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
because it was not properly fed. The court heard sanctuary looked after | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
too many animals, including ponies, sheep, goats and rabbits. There was | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
no evidence Lindsay Newall arrange for veterinary treatment. The case | :05:53. | :06:01. | |
is expected to last for five days. You are watching East Midlands | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
today. Lots to come still between now and seven o'clock, including a | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
catch`up on the busy Easter weekend of sport. And how these pretty | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
little fellas are helping to preserve their entire species ` | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
right here in the East Midlands. Next tonight, the latest pictures of | :06:13. | :06:22. | |
youngsters risking their lives trespassing on train lines over | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
Easter. This year, Network Rail and British Transport Police | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
re`introduced safety trains to target trespassers, thieves and | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
vandals. So has it had an impact, if children are still playing with | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
their lives on the tracks? Jo Healey reports. | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
Children trust passing near the Robin Hood line at Easter unaware | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
how incredibly dangerous it can be. The railway is hazardous. Not places | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
children should be playing on or hanging around on. They are risking | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
their lives. This is about safety trains | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
patrolling lines in the East Midlands. And by British Transport | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
Police officers and Network Rail. Searching for trespassers and | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
vandals. They started running in time for the Easter break in so far | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
they are making a difference. Last year, during Easter there were 41 | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
incidents, this year, so far there have been 33. They say the | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
improvement is slight and there is little room for complacency. | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
We are striving to reduce trespassing and vandalism and the | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
aim is to get it down to know incidents of trust pass and | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
vandalism on the railway. Some trains travel at 120 miles an | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
hour, weighing 400 tonnes. It would take the driver and mile and a | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
quarter before he could stop so if you are a child on the line, you | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
would not stand a chance. This is the sort of thing the safety | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
trains look out for and they are desperate to stop it. As the | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
pictures from the Easter weekend show, some youngsters still need to | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
heed the warnings. A Nottinghamshire conman has been jailed for three and | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
a half years for defrauding elderly and vulnerable people, for a second | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
time. 39`year`old John Cooney from Radcliffe`on`Trent admitted taking | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
over ten thousand pounds from at least ten victims aged from 69 to | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
99. He mis`sold sofas, stair lifts and mobility scooters. In 2012, | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
Cooney was sentenced to six months in prison, also for mis`selling | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
mobility aids. Work has started to pedestrianise | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
part of a busy Leicestershire town centre after years of planning. The | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
Market Place, in Loughborough, will be joined with busy shopping streets | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
as part of a nineteen million pound scheme. Once the road is | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
pedestrianised, all traffic, including buses, will use the newly | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
constructed inner relief road. A project which began in Leicester | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
supporting children in care is celebrating its expansion into | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
Scotland. The Letterbox Club sends parcels to children every month for | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
six months. Inside are books, games and stationery. It's managed by | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
Booktrust, in partnership with the University of Leicester. The project | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
which first started with 20 children in the city, now delivers to more | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
than seven thousand nationwide. You are watching East Midlands | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
today. The next phase in a major redevelopment of roads in Leicester | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
is starting this week ` the joining of the Golden Mile with the rest of | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
the city. After the Belgrave flyover was demolished, traders say they're | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
now looking forward to the end of all the work. Officials have also | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
told us that the remaining roundabout may become an open space | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
for use during public events, as Simon Ward reports. | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
After the disappearance of the Belgrave flyover, the changes to the | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
road layout and access for walkers and cyclists can begin. As the works | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
continue, nearby traders have stayed open. Business slowed down because | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
of the traffic but it's been going good since Sainsbury's closed. It | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
has attracted much more people to use the local shops. Local concern | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
about extra traffic seems to have eased. Businesses are looking | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
forward to the works being completed. I think it looks pretty | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
good. It is more open. People can see the shop. Before the flyover | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
covered the shop. Now it is quite open. There will be a pedestrian | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
crossing so people can walk across the roundabout. And there will be | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
trees planted but the council is considering how that is done because | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
this could become a relatively open green space. We will take stock to | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
make sure we are doing what we want. We want to plant the trees in the | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
right place. We want to get the best use out of the island. It will be a | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
lot of work and we encourage people and commuters to consider using | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
alternative routes while the work goes on. It could be this space is | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
used for public events, especially when the surrounding roads are | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
closed. It is due to be finished in October, in time for Diwali | :11:12. | :11:12. | |
celebrations. They seem to have done it quickly. | :11:13. | :11:27. | |
Now as a natural habitat, Britain is special. We've got one of the | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
longest growing seasons in the world and a weather pattern ` as much as | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
it can be frustrating ` that means we can pretty much grow anything. In | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
fact, to protect plants from all over the world, you may have heard | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
of National Plant Collections. Well, the East Midlands boasts a huge | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
number of them. And in the first of a series across the year, I've been | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
to see one of them. These are auricula, two dozen | :11:49. | :12:08. | |
natural collections in the East Midlands with almost a dozen in | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
Nottinghamshire alone. They are grown and curated by Bob Taylor and | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
foul. These look almost too perfect, they look painted. They are | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
artificial. It is hard to say what I see. I was | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
reading a gardening magazine one day and this auricula was pictured on | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
the page, a large picture. And it let out of the page at me. It was a | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
love affair. I have felt like that ever since. | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
You started with six. Yes, now I have hundreds of | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
thousands. The distinctive feature of some | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
strains is the striking white seed. They look natural but original | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
varieties grew wild the outs without and were brought here in the 16th | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
century. They are displayed in theatres, cases or steps of wooden | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
shelves with an overhanging roof to protect them. To hold a national | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
collection you need 75% of all of the varieties listed in the Plant | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
Finder and then three of each one. This collection has 750 different | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
varieties making it one of the largest in the country if not the | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
world. We are conserving a collection of | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
names, a collection of varieties, not necessarily everyone being of | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
the quality that an exhibitor would want. The vowel is in the process of | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
adding another 30 to the collection, she need three from each specimen to | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
gain recognition. Auricula do not come true from seed. | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
So the parent might not look anything like it. It sometimes leads | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
to new creations. I named this after my late mother | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
because she collected blue and white china and when I look at it, I think | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
of her. And what a lovely tribute. It is, such shame she never knew | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
about it. I have to say, Val did slightly | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
convert me to the way of the 'auricula'! But you can make up your | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
own mind. I thought they were lovely. If you | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
want to see the collection yourself, it's at Gotham's Field House Nursery | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
and open to view by appointment. Check the Nottinghamshire | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
collections on the plant heritage website for the contacts. | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
You can put in any county and find the ones where you are. | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
We will be looking at hydrangeas two. I need to learn how to | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
pronounce those correctly. Colin's here in a moment with the sport, and | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
soon Kaye with the weather. And something that could cause havoc for | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
a forecaster ` the waterfall that doesn't make anyone wet! We said | :15:11. | :15:19. | |
Colin would be here in a moment and that moment is here. A very big | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
nights potentially for us tonight. Tonight in the Championship it's all | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
about the numbers on the board. The maths of this table have become very | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
simple indeed if you're a Leicester City fan. A win tonight in Bolton | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
and the Foxes will be seven points clear with six to play for. They | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
will become very deserving Champions. Leicester fans have been | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
treated to some high quality stuff this season. The players dominating | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
matches and even ` on Saturday ` bringing a smile to the face of | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
their boss. They will be there in the their thousands at the Reebok | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
tonight hoping for confirmation that their achievement is total. I think | :15:54. | :16:03. | |
it would be great for the players themselves to finish off the job | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
mathematically ourselves and I am really pleased with how the players | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
have approached the season, never mind the situation we are in now. We | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
have done ourselves justice. We are there tonight with the fans and the | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
players. And if ` when ` the title is confirmed we will be bringing you | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
reaction tomorrow night right here on East Midlands Today. Our good | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
wishes go with them. Leicester have been a treat to watch and to be | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
around this season. Now, what about the play`off contest. With Derby | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
already there, attention turns to Nottingham Forest. Almost out of it | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
last week back`to`back Easter wins have taken them seventh. Just a | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
point away now thanks to a striker who's forced his way into the | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
starting line`up. Jeremy Nicholas reports. After the ups and downs of | :16:49. | :16:58. | |
the season, the first 15 minutes at Elland Road were like watching | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
Brazil for Forest fans. Matt Derbyshire bagged them both with the | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
first after 91 seconds. It was only Derbyshire's sixth start but he is | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
on a goal`scoring run now ` his second, four in three games. Brazil | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
says he has a positive mental attitude and scares the life out of | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
the opposition with his runs into space behind the back four. | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
Goalkeeper Dorus de Vries picked up a knock to join Karl Darlow on the | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
injury list leaving Forest with third choice keeper Dimitar Evtimov | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
to keep the opposition at bay. Games against the seasiders Bournemouth | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
and Brighton still to come. Foreset fans keeping an eye on the Reading | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
squad tonight but at the moment the play`off hopes are still alive, two | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
wins in the last two games could set up a semifinal, probably against | :17:44. | :17:44. | |
Derby. Reading could leapfrog forest. One | :17:45. | :17:58. | |
thing to note ` Forest's final game of the season is against rivals | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
Brighton. That could yet prove to be a heart stopper for the City Ground | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
faithful. If that wasn't enough drama, look at what would happen if | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
Forest did make it ` a semifinal against Derby. The Rams are in form | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
and looking good heading into the play`offs despite watching Burnley | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
seal that last automatic promotion spot yesterday. But after | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
yesterday's win at the iPro, the boss wants them to have more of a | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
killer instinct. He shoots from distance! 25 yards! | :18:20. | :18:46. | |
The left side of the box. Reverse pass. Russell looks up and shoots. | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
Oh, Johnny Russell. He shoots some scores. That is | :18:52. | :19:09. | |
sloppy. Sloppy from Derby. No security about anything in football. | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
I thought I was secure after 67 minutes but we concede, miss a | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
penalty, open goals, chances. So, we talk about this team being too nice | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
and getting a ruthless streak but they didn't have that today. | :19:27. | :19:35. | |
Dexter Blackstock has been charged over gambling. Blackstock has been | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
accused of multiple breaches of an FA rule concerning betting by | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
players on matches. He has until Monday to respond to the charge. The | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
striker had been on loan at Leeds but is currently out injured. Notts | :19:49. | :19:56. | |
County boosted their chances of survival with a win at home to | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
Crawley. But Mansfield Town's playoff hopes ended with a home | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
defeat to Cheltenham. After losing at Bristol City on Good Friday, | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
Notts earned all three points with a hard fought win over rawley. | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
Spencer came close in the first half before Notts won a free kick. Alan | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
Sheehan took it and Spencer headed it home. After that, Crawley went | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
close a few times with keeper Bartosz Bialkowski keeping the | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
Magpies in the game. Notts still in the relegation zone, a point behind | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
Colchester, Tranmere and Crewe with two games left. Mansfield Town's | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
manager Paul Cox wasn't happy saying the Stags lacked hunger and desire | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
as they went down to two goals at home to Cheltenham. Defeat ends | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
Mansfield's faint play`off hopes and could signal a clear out of players | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
out of contract. An Aviva Premiership semifinal is | :20:41. | :20:54. | |
still in Leicester Tigers' own hands despite the disappointment of a | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
narrow defeat to Harlequins on Friday. It was a pulsating encounter | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
at the Stoop with Jamie Gibson scoring a try that put Tigers two | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
points ahead with both sides pushing for a win. It was converted by Toby | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
Flood giving Tigers a twenty`sixteen lead. But in an exciting finish the | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
home team triumphed with Mike Brown going over. Tigers are fourth with | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
two games left away at Sale and then Saracens at Welford Road which is | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
already sold out. In cricket, two second division | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
games dodging the rain. Both will struggle for a clear result but led | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
by a Stephen Moore century Derbyshire have done well at home to | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
Hampshire and Leicestershire have kept Kent under pressure at | :21:37. | :21:37. | |
Canterbury too. Derbyshire marking the life of Keith | :21:38. | :21:55. | |
over the weekend. Audiences here in the East Midlands | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
will be the first in the world to see a brand new musical being | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
described as a landmark for on`stage special effects. | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
Yes, Leicester's Curve Theatre will host the world premiere of the Water | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
Babies. Navtej Johal has been checking out some of the theatrical | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
magic that will bring it to life on stage. | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
It is an all singing, swimming and dancing musical that has got the | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
theatre world very excited. But it isn't just the performers making the | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
headlines. The water babies is being talked about is a huge leap in | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
special effects. This waterfall feature is one of the stars of the | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
show. In every performance there will be 4000 litres of water used in | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
the performance. And British acting royalty Richard E Grant stars. But | :22:46. | :22:54. | |
not as you would expect. He appears as a hologram, it doesn't | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
make sense but he is a 3`D projection that appears in the set | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
and appears to be there. He will be performing in the show. | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
It is a production that means more to this cast member than most. She | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
grew up in Leicestershire and made her professional stage debut at the | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
curve theatre. My mum has come three times and I | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
have friends and family coming. It'll be nice to be here and they | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
are down the road. In London, it is difficult for them to come to see | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
me. The world premiere is another big coup for the curve theatre. | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
It also hosted the first showing of finding Neverland two years ago. | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
This theatre is better equipped technically the most London. We are | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
lucky they made this data with every technical gadget you could ever | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
have. The technical rehearsal was one of the last chances to bring the | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
elements of the show together. The cast, crew and theatre hope it will | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
be a show worthy of a song and dance. | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
Yes, there is an audience out there, it could go horribly wrong but I | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
will stick to what I know, get on stage and if all else fails I will | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
smile. It won't go horribly wrong. | :24:14. | :24:21. | |
If you are interested, it opens on Thursday and runs for quite awhile. | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
I have tickets ready. They have more chance of getting wet | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
on their way to the theatre than inside. Yes, a wishy washy messy | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
picture over the next couple of days, high pressure across the UK at | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
the moment. More organised bands of rain but in general the brain will | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
be quite showery making it quite difficult to pin down any details. | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
The showers will be hit and miss, we won't all see them but a few catch | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
them you will know about it. They will be heavy. Hale and thunder. | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
Equally, decent spells in between and feeling quite warm at the moment | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
with temperatures in the mid`teens. We are seeing heavy showers around | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
today, they are easing down so a dry night, most of the showers fading | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
away. Dry, some clear spells with cloud around and turning misty and | :25:21. | :25:28. | |
murky as well. A quite mild night. Tomorrow morning, a dry start, quite | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
a great start, a lot of cloud around. The cloud will be chopped up | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
into the afternoon, decent spells of sunshine coming through but the | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
showers `` the sunshine will spark of a few showers. Some of them could | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
be on the heavy side, hale and thunder across eastern parts. Some | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
of us escape altogether staying dry. Behind me, one of the organised | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
bands of rain pushing in tomorrow evening. Some heavy rain tomorrow, | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
pushing in eastwards through the night, heavy downpours to come but | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
it clears out of the way so a dry start on Thursday, sunshine coming | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
through again and the chance of showers in the afternoon. Organised | :26:17. | :26:25. | |
rain sounds scary like an army. I would like to avoid the flabby | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
front. You are back tonight. Goodbye. | :26:29. | :26:52. | |
Some people don't think real change in Europe is possible. | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
Some people don't think real change is necessary. | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
Some people don't think it's worth fighting for. | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
But we want to make Europe work for Britain, | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
and give you the final say with an in-out referendum in 2017. | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
have made Britain's economy stronger and more competitive. | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
a record number of people in work. And we're predicted to be | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
the fastest-growing economy in the G7 this year. | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
We're working through our long-term economic plan at home | :27:27. | :27:31. |
