Hundreds lined the streets, from the young to the old. They came together | :01:28. | :01:48. | |
to remember Rakesh. They were very sad to hear the news but on the | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
other side he died as a hero and served his country. At this young | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
age, he has sacrificed his life for Great Britain and the community and | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
humanity and I think this is the highest honour we can give him today | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
for his last journey and so he can rest in peace. He did fantastically | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
for the country and we are so proud of what he has done. Flanking the | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
hearse, six friends, as the 29`year`old made his last journey | :02:18. | :02:23. | |

in the RAF, his brother says, this is exactly what he would have | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
wanted. A funeral with full military honours. We wanted to be here today | :02:47. | :02:56. | |
to show our respect to Rakesh and also to show our support to his next | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
of kin. Sadly cut down so young in his life, you won't be able to | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
realise his career, but he will long be remembered as a true hero. From | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
here, the cortege headed to Loughborough. | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
The sombre, sorrowful reminder of a war being fought thousands of | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
And so they came to mourn and to remember a colleague, | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
a friend, a brother, a son, who died for the country he was | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
As the cortege arrived, his mum kissed her son's coffin | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
During the short service, Rakesh's father paid tributd to him, | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
telling the congregation, we are indebted to you and the | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
The chaplain, who had known him since he was 11, | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
said that Rakesh wanted to lake a difference in the world and | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
After the service, there was a fly`past by an RAF Hawk. | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
Rakesh's cousins paid tribute to him. | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
He's a hero and we are really, really proud of him. | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
Sad but very happy that he lived for the 29 years that he did live to | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
I was in Afghanistan a week before the accident. | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
I saw how professional he w`s, saw how highly he was regarded | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
by the crews that he worked with, and it is a huge loss for us all. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
The funeral service was by his school chaplain at his request. | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
He felt that it was up to him to step up and do the job that he | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
He felt it made a real difference to the world that | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
he was doing a good thing and he was doing it with all his heart. | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
For those here today, Rakesh will always be remembered | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
as a man with a big heart who was selfless and kind. | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
A man who everyone is proud to have known. | :04:59. | :05:07. | |
Still to come, why it's the end of the road | :05:08. | :05:10. | |

Sarah Teale has been at Nottingham Crown Court. | :05:48. | :05:54. | |

Dexter Dias QC calling his client to the witness box with the words, "Mr | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
He then asked the 19`year`old whether had he told the truth to | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
police in two days of interviews over the arson attack on the | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Mullings replied, "I told numerous lies through police intervidws | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
and it was a cowardly and stupid thing to do but I in these certain | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
Mr Dias then asked him whether he had known about plans to | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
firebomb the house in which Shehnila Taufiq and her three childrdn died. | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
He said, "No, I didn't know but I did know there was a plan to smash | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
The jury had heard the gang had meant to target | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
the family home of a man who they believed had been involved | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
in the stabbing of their friend Antoin Akpom earlier in the evening | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
And the court had been shown some CCTV | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
Mullings was asked who it was caught on camera. | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
He was asked whether that petrol can had anything to do with the fire. | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
It had been in his boot for several days as a precaution. | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
He was asked why he'd disposed of it. | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
He said he was in shock after the firebomb attack and added, | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
"I was scared and I didn't want to be caught with anything on le". | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
He also admitted disposing of a phone | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
because he'd made numerous contacts with some of his co`defendants. | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
He said when police asked hhm about it all, he was in a desperately | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
cowardly state and didn't want to admit to anything that night. | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
And he admitted to the jury he had previous convictions? | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
In March 2009, he pleaded gtilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
He was 14 at the time and it was a fight at school. | :07:43. | :07:46. | |

today's announcement, many parents have been left feeling their fight | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
four years ago was for nothing. A man accused of murder has claimed | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
that it was another defendant who carried out the brutal attack | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
in Derbyshire last year. The prosecution says three people | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
beat 48`year`old Barry Smith to death before setting light to | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
his body outside a club in Kilburn. James Roberson reports | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
from Leicester Crown Court. Four people in all are | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
on trial here at Leicester Crown Court for what occurred last October | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
at this welfare club in Kilburn, where a father`of`four was `llegedly | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
beaten to death and then burnt. It's claimed Vincent Aitken | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
and his daughter Emma and her partner Nathan Doherty were involved | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
in the murder, while Pamela Aitken But the courts heard Pamela Aitken | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
had an argument with 48`year`old Barry Smith which resulted | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
in her losing her job at the club and the attack on | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
Mr Smith was in revenge for that. Today, 27`year`old Nathan Doherty | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
in his defence claimed it was Vincent Aitken who alone attacked | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
Mr Smith with a pool cue and then Nathan Doherty denies attacking Mr | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
Smith himself or burning his body. All of the defendants deny all | :13:43. | :13:50. | |
of the charges Next tonight, | :13:51. | :13:52. | |

hospital staff valuable time and cut Yes, King's Mill in Nottinghamshire | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
is the first hospital in thd East Midlands to use a hi`tech system to | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
record key patient observathons That's things like blood | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
pressure and temperature. As our health correspondent | :14:20. | :14:27. | |
Rob Sissons reports, they hope it'll mean shorter hospital stays | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
and quicker treatment. Yes, patient notes, observations, | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
never far from the patient at the never far from the patient `t the | :14:38. | :14:45. | |

should not be looking at them but sometimes sneak a look. Herd, things | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
sometimes sneak a look. Here, things are changing, and some say ht could | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
save and they say it is already bringing | :14:52. | :15:08. | |
big differences. Do you feel sick at all? Basic observations are input, | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
including breathing rate, blood pressure and temperature. It's a lot | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
quicker, more efficient. We haven't got the mess of paperwork, running | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
around for notes. One, why are you around for notes. One, why are you | :15:22. | :15:32. | |
in hospital? I keep falling down. King's Mill is still being closely | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
monitored. They call it special measures. It is after the unexpected | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
high level of death how to get out of the fastest flow. | :15:40. | :17:23. | |

Wembley for the play`off final, but it's not all football this week | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
It's also the biggest weekend in Donington Park's year ` | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
The only British round of the series this year. | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
And today's the day they opdn it all up to the public. | :19:30. | :19:53. | |
It is the biggest event of our year and it takes a lot of getting right. | :19:54. | :20:02. | |
It is on my doorstep so obvhously always look forward to Donington. | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
Even more so for me this year. always look forward to Donington. | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
Even more so for me this year. What matters in sport is to allow the | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
stars to be accessible to the fans. I think I've crashed on every corner | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
here, so I know what not to do and now I've just got to figure out how | :20:22. | :20:31. | |
to get fast! Leon is a popular boy around these parts. It is hhs home | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
around these parts. It is his home track, as you saw there. Derby | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
County pretty popular as well at the moment. They are off to Wembley in | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
the play`off final looking for Premier League football over the | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
weekend. It is a renaissance for weekend. It is a renaissance for | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
them and for head coach Steve McClaren, and this, a chance that | :20:47. | :20:55. | |
hangs on Harry Redknapp. He was welcomed back into England football | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
and he was given the coach's job. It will be an interesting meeting. | :20:59. | :21:07. | |
Well, ahead of this game at Wembley, so much attention on Derby County | :21:08. | :21:20. | |
and head coach Steve McClaren. Today, the newspapers are focused on | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
his relationship with Harry Redknapp. Is a great story for the | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
media, isn't it? And a fairx Redknapp. Is a great story for the | :21:29. | :21:30. | |
media, isn't it? And a fairy tale media, isn't it? And a fairy tale | :21:31. | :21:30. | |
ending to the season. Starthng there ending to the season. Starthng there | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
and ending up at Wembley as our opponents. Only a short while ago he | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
was part of the coaching staff at was part of the coaching st`ff at | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
Queens Park Rangers. How ironic it has come full circle. The former | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
England manager, one of the most famous faces in the game, will lock | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
horns in a Wembley showdown. There's a lot of pressure on Queens Park | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
Rangers to go up. A lot of loney. And we all know the story. I think | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
they are the favourites. I think the bookmakers make them the favourites. | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
They've been in great form. Had a good run. A young side full of | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
energy. A good team. Attire at the QPR press call, Harry said he did | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
not regret giving Steve a route back into English football. `` today at | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
the QPR press call. He was great when he was here. But you always | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
knew he would work somewherd and knew he would work somewhere and | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
when the opportunity came. That was the understanding and obviotsly | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
the understanding and obviously Derby, it was a job he couldn't | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
resist. I'm looking forward to a cup of tea and a big hug at the end, no | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
of tea and a big hug at the end no matter what happens. Now the talking | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
is over, Steve McClaren is on the brink of one of the richest matches | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
in football and a return to the Premier League. | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
So, Derby County, superbikes. Plenty of other sports news as well! Lets | :23:02. | :23:03. | |

The crowds are out to here at Donington. Not for me! For people | :23:49. | :23:52. | |

regard this as your home tr`ck now? Definitely. I'm only about 20 | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
minutes down the road. So for me it is very much feeling like a home | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
