Good evening and welcome to Monday's programme First tonight, a

10`year`old boy has been excluded from a primary school in Nottingham

after he was caught with a kitchen knife in his bag. Arnbrook Primary,

which has only just become `n which has only just become `n

academy, says it was an isolated incident and both they and the

police have acted swiftly. Our chief news reporter, Quentin Rayner, is

outside the school for us tonight in Arnold.

The Executive Principal of the Trust which runs Arnbrook Primary told me

this "was a one`off incident which has horrified us all". The police

are describing this as an act of foolishness, rather than something

sinister. What is certain, hs that sinister. What is certain, is that

everyone is taking it very seriously. Late on Friday afternoon

a kitchen knife was spotted in a ten`year`old's rucksack and

reported. It was understood he threatened no teacher or chhld. The

threatened no teacher or child. The police were called immediatdly and

police were called immediately and the boy has been excluded. The trust

which runs the academy said it acted, swiftly, decisively `nd

acted, swiftly, decisively and offered support to the children.

Parents were sent a text thhs Parents were sent a text thhs

morning alerting them about the incident. Many did not see it and

were left shocked and angry at the disguise discovery of a knife. I am

fuming about it. It is not very good is it. I have to fetch my children

from this dangerous in school. You should be able to come here and know

they will be safe. It is very concerning, it is a ten`year`old boy

and a primary school. It is getting worse and worse. It is ridiculous.

It leaves you worried about your children's safety. This happened on

Friday and we only get told about it today. It is disgusting. The

stop things are hotting up. Experts at the University of

Nottingham have discovered the number of diagnosed cases of coeliac

disease has quadrupled over the last 20 years. They believe it's because

people are far more aware of the condition. People with coeliac

disease often have to avoid foods which contain gluten, so they don't

suffer unpleasant symptoms. Our health correspondent, Rob Sissons,

reports. Because it is an wheat, you will

find gluten in lots of food. Research by the University of

Nottingham reveals a number of people with coeliac disease who feel

unwell when they eat gluten foods has gone up fourfold in 20 xears.

This is when your small`bowel goes This is when your small`bowel goes

wrong because it reacts badly with wheat. The difficulty can cause many

wheat. The difficulty can c`use many different symptoms. You might find

you are anaemic. That could be a strong indication that you should be

tested for coeliac disease. In blood tests one in a hundred people in the

UK test positive for coeliac disease.

They need to avoid wheat, b`rley and rye to avoid gloating and headaches.

But this lady, a gluten`fred rye to avoid gloating and hdadaches.

But this lady, a gluten`free diet But this lady, a gluten`fred diet

has a way of life. She was not diagnosed for 40 years. My lemory of

childhood was continual illness The joy in all of this is that with all

the things you cannot have, you must use your mind to think about the

different things that are there. Example, polenta, the Americans use

it a great deal. Easdale is `` these days there is more awareness. This

is one of Britain's biggest quiche many factories in Nottinghal. They

have spotted a gap in the market and are developing a range of

gluten`free products. There are coeliac 's and then self diagnosed

is free from lifestyle is, who follow a gluten`free diet for

fitness or health and well`being choices. Coeliac UK now hopd more

choices. Coeliac UK now hope more manufacturers will follow stit.

A fire at a Derby supermarkdt is being treated as suspicious.

Officers at the nearby Pear Tree Police Station raised the alarm just

after 3.15am this morning. Four fire engines were called to Super Sam's,

which is said to be the biggest European food store in the city

No`one was injured. Leicestershire police have issued an

image of a man they want to trace in connection with a series of alleged

frauds. Officers want to question connection with a series of alleged

frauds. Officers want to qudstion a frauds. Officers want to question a

man who told his clients his name was Kamal`Ji. He claims to be a

"spiritual healer" who can help with health, business and relationship

problems. It's alleged that once he's gained a victim's trust, he

asks for money, defrauding many clients of tens of thousands of

pounds. At the Queen's Medical Centre in

Nottingham just before Christmas. The couple had to face their loss on

a maternity ward surrounded by smiling parents and newborn babies.

The contrast was harrowing. Now they want a haven hospital for parents

Their daughter was full`terl Their daughter was full`terl

Al It wasn't until I was in recovery that I held her. She was just so

beautiful. It was so sad. Afterwards, they had to stay on the

Afterwards, they had to stax on the labour ward at the medical centre.

The contrast was amazing because you are in the depths of despair. You

come out and thereafter pictures of newborn babies, fathers with empty

car seats. The worst thing for me was hearing a father outsidd

car seats. The worst thing for me was hearing a father outside making

calls, telling his family hd had calls, telling his family hd had

just had a baby daughter, and knowing that we had to ring round

telling everybody what happdned That's why they've set up Forever

Stars, to raise money for a bereavement suite. That is the only

time you have with your baby. That's the only memories you have of your

baby. To have somewhere comfortable, peaceful, it would just help to make

that a smoother journey for people. So this week, she's meeting bosses

at the hospital to see what can be done for families like them. They

need to have a space where they can deal with what happened and move

together as a family and that's what together as a family and th`t's what

we want to build. You're watching your regional

Much of the English Civil War You're watching your regional news.

Much of the English Civil War which changed our ideas about mon`rchy and

republicanism for other happened here in the East Midlands. Newark

was a key Royalist town. So it's highly appropriate that New`rk's

received millions of pounds to set up the country's only national Civil

War museum. James Roberson's been to see how work's progressing.

Enthusiast is re`enact one of the most influential periods of English

history, the Civil War of the mid`17th`century, in which new work

was pivotal. We reported two years ago that the old Magnus school in

the town was going to get a conversion into a national Civil War

museum. Now workers at full tilt. The main building is wrapped in

plastic sheeting to a height of 70 feet. Rooms are unused for decades

are now full of scaffolding and building teams. But perhaps most

spectacular are the oak roof beams of the 1529 building, revealed for

the first time since being instructed during the reign of Henry

VIII. Some of it survived miraculously, others failed

dismally. We need to decide what repairs are needed. The restoration

is being carried out by specialists from Nottinghamshire. There are

areas of rot and insect infestation areas of rot and insect infdstation

which have damaged this part of the roof. You can see the various bits

roof. You can see the variots bits of new joiner reinserted into the

roof. There was a doormat here. There are sections of newsp`per here

and sections that provide rudimentary damp`proofing. The

transformation would be happening without the bulk of the funds, 3.5

million, from the Heritage lottery fund. Without support look like that

from this sort of scheme, wd fund. Without support look like that

from this sort of scheme, wd would have lost the heritage and lost the

buildings. It is a heritage centre for people to enjoy and bring

tourists in. We've got some great interactives describing the scenes.

We have our Marie from the Civil War and some really gory stuff for the

kids. `` we have armoury. T`lking of kids. `` we have armoury. T`lking of

donations, a donation of more than ?1 million from a former rahlway

Nottingham Hospitals Charity when he Nottingham Hospitals Charity when he

died in 2011. He was that sort of a man. He would help anybody out. He

was that sort of a man. Wonderful. But we never expected all this and

it's going to help all different people. My mum would be verx, very

proud of him. Wonderful. Coming up ` no disgrace in Denmark.

Time now for sport and the dream continues for Derby!

Well, after a magical Sundax, Derby County are almost all the way there.

County are almost all the w`y there. Almost all the way to the Premier

League. It was one of the best performances of the season ` and by

beating Brighton yesterday, Derby have put themselves into the

have put themselves into thd play`off final. One huge game at

play`off final. One huge gale at Wembley which could be worth

hundreds of millions of pounds ` and a priceless amount of glory. Kirsty

was there, and this is how they did it.

A miserable, grey, wet day. But the biggest day of the season for Derby.

One by one, the team arrive and amongst the fans, nervous excitement

builds. We were up at five o'clock this morning! So this is it, the

moment of truth. Are Derby destined for Wembley?

An early pause in play for some balloon popping but there w`s

nothing deflating about Derby's performance. How about this for a

goal? A cheeky backheel from performance. How about this for a

goal? A cheeky backheel frol Will goal? A cheeky backheel from Will

Hughes just the start of thhngs to come. Top scorer Chris Martin,

Hughes just the start of things to come. Top scorer Chris Marthn, of

come. Top scorer Chris Martin, of course, got in on the act. His goal

all but sealing the win. But Derby weren't finished there. George

Thorne's volley was superb. The Rams had been completely dominant. They

more than deserved yet another. Jeff Hendrick completing the rout. There

was a late consolation for Brighton. No`one cared, though. Just moments

later, the full`time whistld sparked later, the full`time whistle sparked

wild celebrations. This is big. This is really big. We've been working on

this quietly for five or six years now, stabilising the team. Look at

the team we've got. Unbelievable. I'm pretty proud to be part of this.

I've never been involved with anything like this in footb`ll.

I've never been involved with anything like this in football. This

is why you play the game, for something like this. Obviously, it's

a great achievement to turn up and put on such a great victory and

performance for the fans. You can just see them all now. They've been

brilliant all day and I'm sure brilliant all day and I'm sure

they'll fully back us when we get to Wembley. Huge celebrations for a

huge result. The Rams are just one huge result. The Rams are jtst one

win away from the Premier League. huge result. The Rams are just one

win away from the Premier Ldague. Go win away from the Premier League. Go

on, you Rams! Go on, you Rals! win away from the Premier Ldague. Go

on, you Rams! Go on, you Rams! I on, you Rams! Go on, you Rals! I

can't wait for Wembley. Come on, you Rams! Go on, you Rams! I

can't wait for Wembley. Comd on on, you Rams! Go on, you Rals! I

can't wait for Wembley. Comd on you Rams! THEY CHANT: We're the famous

Derby County and we're going to Wembley! They were awesome today.

From minute one, they just wore Brighton down. Wore them down and

wore them down. It's something Brighton down. Wore them down and

wore them down. It's somethhng you wore them down. It's something you

probably dream of as a kid, leading the team out at Wembley in such a

big game. Everyone deserves this today and hopefully we can finish it

off now. Quite a day ` and quite a couple of

weeks ahead for this man. S`m Quite a day ` and quite a couple of

weeks ahead for this man. Sam Rush weeks ahead for this man. S`m Rush

is Derby's chief executive. We're delighted he's here tonight. Not as

delighted as you are by the win though. It was fantastic watching it

again. A great afternoon and evening. A fantastic perforlance by

everyone. It has put a huge smile on everyone's phases. Your first full

season as chief executive. We've got some pictures of you celebr`ting.

everyone. For myself and the team. everyone. For myself and thd team.

We've got a fantastic team back at the stadium. You've got to dnjoy

moments like that. They're not all that often in football so you've got

to really enjoy them. They say winning could be worth as mtch

to really enjoy them. They say winning could be worth as much as

?120 million. How does that work? That's probably not an inaccurate

assessment over four or fivd years. assessment over four or fivd years.

It's the TV money, the prize`money. You wouldn't get that all in one go.

But spread over time, it will be very good for the club. Still a big

game to come. A word about the fans. How are you going to make sure

game to come. A word about the fans. How are you going to make stre all

the fans we saw celebrating, everyone who deserves to go, gets a

ticket for Wembley? We'll find out ticket for Wembley? We'll find out

tonight what our allocation will be. We have QPR and Wigan. A bit of a

difference in the allocations. But I'm sure we can accommodate all our

fans. You want Wigan so you can go and dominate Wembley? We'll find out

shortly who we'll get but whatever happens, we'll have a fantastic fan

base. The fans really made xesterday base. The fans really made yesterday

and it was an atmosphere th`t base. The fans really made xesterday

and it was an atmosphere that we've never seen before. Thrilling. I m

sure they'll do the same at Wembley. Are you going to be able to enjoy

the next fortnight or will ht be wrapped with tension? It'll be

enjoyable. A fantastic time for the football club. Thank you for coming

in on such a special weekend. Very much appreciated.

Dubbed as Europe's biggest party, the 59th Eurovision Song Contest

came and went with a bang this weekend. It was, of course, a big

night for the Leicestershire singer night for the Leicestershird singer

Molly Smitten`Downes ` who ended night for the Leicestershire singer

Molly Smitten`Downes ` who dnded up Molly Smitten`Downes ` who ended up

in 17th place. I was in Copdnhagen in 17th place. I was in Copdnhagen

following the highs and lows of the competition. We're supporting

Finland! And Sweden! The weird and wonderful world of

Eurovision. Copenhagen was teeming with fans, contestants and some very

excited members of Molly's family and friends. It's going really

well. We're absolutely having a ball and we're just so proud. And I'm

ready to burst. With the media spotlight on her, Molly seemed to be

taking it in her stride. I'l hoping that when I walk out that door, I'm

going to feel calm, collected, going to feel calm, collected,

confident. In my Zen. This hs the confident. In my Zen. This is the

press tent, where hundreds of journalists and broadcasters are

poised, ready to give their version of tonight's performances. In

poised, ready to give their version of tonight's performances. Hn just a

few hours, Molly will get up on that stage and perform her heart out. And

stage and perform her heart out And then the moment arrived.

# The feeling that I'll never walk alone.

# We're children of the universe #. But when the scores were in, it soon

became clear who the winner would be. And congratulations, Conchita.

Austria, 12 points. GRAHAM NORTON: Well, you can't say

fairer than that. So, Conchhta GRAHAM NORTON: Well, you can't say

fairer than that. So, Conchita stole the show for Austria. It wasn't

quite the top`table finish we would've liked for Molly but it was

certainly better than recent UK entries. Not bad for a

Leicestershire girl who used to have stage fright as a teenager. It was

great. Obviously, we are a bit disappointed but we've all enjoyed

disappointed but we've all dnjoyed it. It's been a great night. I don't

think there's any UK fan gohng home think there's any UK fan going home

tonight who isn't really, rdally tonight who isn't really, really

delighted with that perform`nce tonight who isn't really, rdally

delighted with that perform`nce and how well she did. Ten million people

watched Molly in the UK alone, with her music now showcased worldwide.

Commiserations to Molly but the Eurovision Song Contest alw`ys

throws up a huge surprise. Conchita ` who'd have thought it? I never saw

so many knitted beards in one room! We've had some wild weather this

weekend. Heavy winds and he`vy weekend. Heavy winds and heavy

showers. The isobars have bden showers. The isobars have been

opening out so the winds have been a bit lighter but we're still

struggling to ditch the showers and there will be more popping up

there will be more popping tp through tomorrow. Another day of

through tomorrow. Another d`y of sunshine and showers tomorrow but

hopefully the showers will be fewer and there will be more sunshine.

With the lighter winds, it isn't feeling too bad with temper`tures

into the mid`teens. We didn't manage to escape the showers today. Loads

of them rattling in on the winds. The winds slowly easing through

today and we will see showers continue over the next couple of

hours they should ease down later. One or two across northern parts of

Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire at most of us drying up. Five or six as

a minimum. Tomorrow morning, showers popping up fairly quickly. Once

again, there will be heavy ones so some hail and thunder possible later

in the day. More sunshine in between the showers and less frequent, as

well. In between the showers, in the sunshine, with lighter winds it will

feel pretty pleasant. 14 or 15 as a top temperature. That is a taste of

things to come because things are settling down quite nicely. An area

of high pressure settling across the UK, which will help squash out the

showers. Dreyer from Wednesday onwards so there will be more

sunshine around. And the big thing is that it is warming up quhte

is that it is warming up quite nicely with temperatures up to 0 by

nicely with temperatures up to 20 by the end of the week.

And early taste of summer, hopefully. We love it, don't we? See

you for the late news at 10:30pm. Goodbye.
