the better the chance of a rather wet and chilly day. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
This is East Midlands Today. Tonight ` a city calls time on | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
spiralling levels of truancy. Forget church moves and railway | :00:11. | :00:34. | |
lines. Thieves have taken his crime is a stretch further. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
Rescued from a garden shed. Remarkable footage from a World War | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
I munitions factory. And relaxing now, in a few moments | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
time, Carl Froch talks to me about his super fight. | :00:51. | :00:59. | |
Good evening and welcome to Monday's programme. First tonight, we can | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
reveal that thousands of fines have been issued to parents whose | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
children have played truant so far this school year. In one city | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
there's been a steep rise. Pupils at schools in Nottingham are among the | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
worst in the country for truancy. From today the city council wants | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
schools to take a 'zero tolerance' approach with a tough message to | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
parents ` if your child is not in school, you are breaking the law, | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
and could face prison. Jo Healey reports from Bulwell Academy. | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
Although it is one of the worst schools for truancy in Nottingham, | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
many want to be here. If I have 100% | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
attendance, I know employers have a high chance of employing me. I am | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
always at school to get my work done so I can get a good grade on my | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
GCSE. And this school year, they have been taking a tough line on | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
truancy. Our attendance has risen by over 1%. And persistent absentees | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
have gone down by 6%. I can only think that what the council is doing | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
will support what we are doing as a school. Nottingham has slumped to | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
150th out of 152 local authorities in the country's school attendance | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
table. The people of Nottingham would | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
expect us not to be near the bottom of the league table. We do have | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
issues, but not more than the rest of the country. We would like to see | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
more improvements. There have been some but we | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
we would like to step that up. They are doing | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
it by talking to youngsters in schools, out in the street. All | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
staff, council or the police can challenge youngsters. Parents are | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
being fined and ultimately face prison. It | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
is a legal duty for every young person to attend school every day | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
unless they are too unwell to do so. That | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
is our expectation in Nottingham. I will not apologise for | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
using fines. At the end of last year, seven of | :02:53. | :03:03. | |
Nottingham's secondary schools, that is half of them, were put into | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
special measures. One of Ofsted's key | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
issues was poor attendance. Now, the council is hoping that the zero | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
tolerance approach will bring more pupils back into schools and keep | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
them there. So, is this to do with people taking | :03:14. | :03:28. | |
their children out of school because it was go on holiday, because it is | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
cheaper? But some of these absences are children going out of school | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
behind their parents' back. Some parents let their children stay out | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
of school because they are tired, even because they want to go on a | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
shopping trip. For a lot of these children, their education is really | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
suffering. How big is a problem is it? You can see from these figures | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
from the Department for Education. There were more than 3,500 | :04:01. | :04:14. | |
"unauthorised absences" in the Autumn term alone. Now a lot of | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
those children's parents were fined as a result. In Leicester, they've | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
issued more than 2,000 fixed penalties since last Summer. With | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
over 600 more across Leicestershire and Rutland. The councils in Derby | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
City and Derbyshire both handed out more than 800 fines. And there were | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
over 400 more, across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. All for children | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
missing school without permission. And how much are people being fined? | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
Well it can all add up. Those fixed penalty notices are for ?120. If | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
that doesn't work, they prosecute you. And then fine you up to ?2,500. | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
So they're taking this very seriously. And if your children do | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
miss school, there's a good chance miss school, there's a good chance | :04:53. | :05:09. | |
it'll cost you. Pupils across the East Midlands | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
returned to the classroom today after the half term break, but not | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
at a school in Leicester. Parks Primary has been forced to shut | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
because thieves have stolen pipes cutting off the water supply. Around | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
130 feet of copper piping has been taken. Emily Anderson reports. | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
When staff arrived at school this morning, this is not what they | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
expected to find. During half term, thieves climbed onto the roof using | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
this ladder. They damage the doors into the roof space. Here, above the | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
school reception, they stole 131 feet of copper piping, ripping out | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
all the copper they could find. The pipe supply the water to the school, | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
so there was no option but to close. It is extremely frustrating. You are | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
ready to learn, and you have to close because we have no water going | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
into the toilet. It is not clear at this stage how much the piping is | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
worth, but ?2 of copper normally spells `` normally sells for about | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
?2 50. Police are saying they are investigating the theft and work is | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
going on to get the water supply back on. All the staff can do is | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
wait. There is nothing sadder than an empty classroom for a | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
headteacher. Your job is about teaching children and we have not | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
been able to do that. Just because of a bit of mindless damage and only | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
a small amount gained for the criminals. But a massive problem for | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
the school. The damage is still being assessed, but because there is | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
no water here at the school, it will have to remain closed. Staff hope | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
they can reopen by the end of the week. | :06:55. | :07:16. | |
We will be we will be talking to Carl later on, life. | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
Join me for the details of the weather later on in the programme. | :07:23. | :07:37. | |
In Leicester family is calling for improvements after a man died on his | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
way home. A man died after swerving. His | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
family said the road is blighted by speeding drivers. | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
At the moment, he has 3463 people who have paid their respects. | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
Tributes have flooded in for the popular doorman who died on his way | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
home from work eight days ago. Those people that are put there to beat on | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
Facebook, it has helped me. It has really helped me through one of the | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
worst times of my entire life. He was a wonderful dad, devoted. He was | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
one of the most well loved, well`respected person, Dorman that | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
you could ever wish to meet. He hit the curb, we think you then lost | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
control. He has come up this drop curbs and then he has had the post. | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
He has then continued on and fell in the hedge further on. Cheryl is | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
trying to work out why her partner swerved off the road. The | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
44`year`olds died from head injuries. It is is heartbreaking for | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
us as a family. We want to know why it happened. We may not ever know. | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
This is the second death on this stretch of road in two months. | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
Dale's family says it needs to be made safer. We don't think you just | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
came off. We think he was overtaken. It has got to be made slower. It is | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
too much of a fast road. A County Council spokesman said it would be | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
inappropriate to comment at this stage. Meanwhile, this family | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
1000 people are expected to attend. 1000 people are expected to attend. | :09:28. | :10:08. | |
A car park, badly damaged in Derby has been reopened. The 70 rooms have | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
also been reopened. There has been rebuilding work and it should open | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
again in the middle of this month. The council want to look at all | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
options for the main venue including its demolition. It could be months | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
before any decision is made on the venue's future. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
Another major part of Nottingham railway station has been reopened. | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
`` has been opened. The main concourse is the part which will | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
link to the car park. It will also link to the extended tram system. It | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
is part of ?1 million that of a multi`million pound station | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
overhaul. A sixth defendant accused of | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
murdering a family of four in a botched arson attack says he lied to | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
police because of fear. Jackson Powell said he was scared to put his | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
family in danger if he named the man who he believed was in danger. The | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
family killed was in Leicester. On trial for murder, Jackson Powell | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
joined his co`accused in blaming Tristan Richards. To be fatal fire | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
at Woodhill in Leicester last September. The 20`year`old said he | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
was outside the terraced house when he saw 23 older Richards pour petrol | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
over the front door. The prosecution claim it was a revenge attack, but | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
on the wrong house. It killed a woman and T3 teenage children. | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
Powell, who had spent a few years in the Army was due to start a business | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
degree at University. The jury heard he cried in police interviews | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
because he said he had no idea there would be a fire. His barrister asked | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
him, why do you lie about two movements that night? Powell | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
replied, I was trying to distance myself from the situation and from | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
what I have seen, knowing what at least one of my co`defendants was | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
capable of, I did not want to put myself or my family at risk. Jackson | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
Powell said he was so frightened, he initially did not give police | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
Tristan Richards' name. He said he feared it would put him or his | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
family in serious danger because Richards had a big repetition. He | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
said he had heard he had stabbed people and owned guns. That is | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
something that Tristan Richards has consistently denied. Powell denies | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
four charges of murder as to all the other defendants. | :12:38. | :12:47. | |
Now, turn around in Europe these days, `` in Newark, these days and | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
you are likely to bump into someone who run the country. The Prime | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
Minister is in town but he was not the only big beast. You might have | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
found the Shadow Chancellor Today's electioneering destination, | :13:00. | :13:46. | |
you're a's biggest employer, this distribution centre. Prime Minister, | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
your fourth visit in Newark in a few weeks, you must be particularly | :13:52. | :13:52. | |
concerned? Farage said that he thought they | :13:53. | :14:57. | |
were 80% of the way to getting the swing they need to win. That would | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
open the door to getting the balance of power in the general election | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
next year. No Nigel Farage in town today, perhaps a good thing with one | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
stallholder willing to sell eggs for 50p a throw. It was of a laugh | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
today, a bit of a farce. But it certainly put Newark on the map. And | :15:18. | :15:25. | |
the high`profile nature of the Prime Minister's visit did not deter one | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
man from showing his entrepreneurial visit. Have you heard of the | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
cashback for any television over ?1700? | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
And many candidates are standing in the by`election. He is a list of all | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
11 standing on Thursday. taken. Emily Anderson reports. | :15:44. | :16:14. | |
Well, here he is. The man of the moment. Carl Froch. On Saturday | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
night he took on George Groves in front of 80,000 at Wembley and | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
millions around the world on television. A grudge match. A score | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
Have you absorb what you were part of, Carl Froch? I do. Reality hits | :16:27. | :16:37. | |
me in the morning. I had one decent night's sleep. Wembley Stadium, | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
80,000, phenomenal. It will take a bit longer than a couple of days to | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
sink in. Let's reflect on it ourselves. There is a fight, on DVD. | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
We will have more from Carl in a few moments. Let's relive it. | :16:53. | :17:17. | |
Groves. One punch from the champion which settled this feud once and for | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
all. Wembley was simply electric as Carl Froch and Groves came | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
face`to`face. The time for talking was done. Time to finish business. | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
With so much at stake, Little wonder the opening rounds were cagey. No | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
clue as to what was to come. Round eight started slowly but finished in | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
breathtaking style. A stunning finale from the world champion with | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
his devastating right hook. Groves has been knocked out! He has | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
successfully followed those world titles and settled a score with | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
George Groves. He's promised to deliver and did so in some style | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
here at Wembley. That is the biggest occasion I have been | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
involved in, boxing wise. And the biggest I will be involved in for | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
the next 20 years. This means everything to me in terms of my | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
Boxing career. I can't wait to tell my kids what I did last night. He | :18:16. | :18:25. | |
demolished groves and proved his doubters wrong. His latest title | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
defence, his most satisfying. I would have had to listen to the | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
whole saga for the rest of my life if I did not give in the rematch. I | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
gave him the pasting he is in good health. But he had that coming. It | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
was amazing, one punch and he was gone. The best results! You not out, | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
we knew you would do it. It job well done, time for the people who does | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
it all for. They are my family. They mean the world mean the world to me. | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
I would give up all this fame and fortune for them. I do know how you | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
give `` I do know how you cope with all this, Carol. Beforehand, it was | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
like the world was on my shoulders. But he has won the world title. I'm | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
so pleased. Was that a proposal for Rachel? Sort of. I went down on my | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
knees. I said, will you marry me, Rachel. So ring shopping for you | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
next time. He got down on one knee and said Rachel, I did have a ring, | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
but will you marry me! You can't say no in front of 20,000 `` 80,000, can | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
you? Exactly. No wonder he called the greatest night of his life as | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
the boxing world was witness to a great champion on the best night of | :19:52. | :19:52. | |
his life. everything to me in terms of my | :19:53. | :20:12. | |
Some other sports news quickly. Mansfield's sidecar racing Birchall | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
Brothers have suffered a spectacular crash at the Isle of Man TT Races. | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
They were trying to build on last year's win but hit a wall at | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
extraordinary speeds. Somehow they both walked away ` but driver Ben | :20:23. | :20:24. | |
Birchall suffered a broken hand and That will be the end of it for this | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
year. So, Carl will that be the end of | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
boxing for this year? It will be have `` it will have to be something | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
really big to get the motivation. I'm not a young athlete, but I'm | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
still young enough to do what I need to do. I have proven that. I have | :20:46. | :20:55. | |
box nearly ten years. I am not 46, I'm 36 but I am towards the end of | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
my career. I have been a professional for 12 years. I need to | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
be drawn in by something big. What is going to be bigger than the | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
Wembley Stadium, the National Stadium? The only thing that takes | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
the box will be something I've never done before in my career. And that | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
is, boxing in Las Vegas. The public will follow you, one day? I know, | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
I'm looking forward to trip and I will enjoy it. Actual former club, | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
they are so behind you. The supporters phenomenal. They spend | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
their hard and money to travel and support me. I like to think I | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
entertain them and give them value. I put it all on the line. I don't | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
give half a performance. I make sure that when I'm in there, I leave | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
everything in the ring, heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears if | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
necessary. You don't sound like a man who is ready to walk away from | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
this. I love the game so much, I love every aspect of it. The | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
training can be hard, brutal at times. I put my body through it. But | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
when I have a couple of weeks off, I know what my mind is like. I have a | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
bag in the garage and I punch of the bag every morning. I enjoyed | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
training. I enjoy the physicality of it. Some people would have been | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
scared of the other night, but I enjoy it. The bigger the better. I | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
will miss the game if I walk away from it. While I can do it, I will. | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
The public would love to see it. Carl, a true champion and a true | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
warrior. Remarkable new footage from World | :22:38. | :22:49. | |
War One has been discovered in a garden shed in Long Eaton. The film | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
contains images of the men and women who filled artillery shells with | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
high explosives at Chilwell near Nottingham. It was uncovered by the | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
BBC during the making of a film with Kate Adie which is broadcast this | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
evening. Faces of women doing dangerous work. | :23:02. | :23:09. | |
According to the factories to produce dangerous shells which would | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
win the war. Many would die within the year of the shot when a huge | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
blast tore apart the building where the explosive was `` the explosives | :23:18. | :23:25. | |
were being mixed. 139 died and hundreds more were injured and few | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
could be identified. The newly discovered film shows women working | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
with the explosives. This is one of the most important films I've seen | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
in many years at the museum. It is a major find. This film was discovered | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
when the BBC tracked down one of the families of the 1918 explosion. | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
Pleased to meet you, come in. Joe Trude Coseley died, leaving behind | :23:55. | :24:03. | |
four children. `` Gertrude died. The family were left behind. This was in | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
a jumble sale. My aunt put it in the loft of the building she lived in. | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
Then when we knew it was nitrate film, we realise it could be | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
inflammable. So his nephew took possession of it and put it in his | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
shed. And here it is. Rescued from a leaking garden shed in Long Eaton. | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
Clearly showing the chill bar factory. Nitrate film is highly | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
dangerous because it can combust and if I cannot be extinguished. A | :24:38. | :24:42. | |

Museum at Duxford. Six months later, Peter was able to see what the | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
experts had found. Basically a film which has had water damage. As it | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
came out of the shed, it seemed so gummed together, I thought they | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
would never be able to undo it. The negative was also found. It is | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
planned to restore the film by combining the two. The film has been | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
damaged by rainwater and technology has been used to copy it so it can | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
be seen. This is a really exciting discovery for us. Very rarely have | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
we had discoveries like this. This factory had very important part to | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
play in the war effort. The family hope that eventually they may be | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
able to find Gertrude in the restored footage. We may find her. | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
She's very distinctive. She could be in there somewhere. The story of the | :25:47. | :25:53. | |

World War I can be seen in BBC One in the East Midlands tonight at 7:30 | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
p.m.. That is well worth a watch. As | :26:03. | :26:04. | |
indeed is the weather! Difficult to pin down any details. | :26:05. | :26:17. | |
Low pressure to the north and east in the UK. A weak one but not | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
influencing us too much. Some more persistent rain heading our way on | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
Wednesday but it is a picture of not all doom and gloom. We saw some | :26:30. | :26:39. | |
lovely sunshine this morning. Cloud increasing into the afternoon. Some | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
evening sunshine around but also a line of showers off to the west. | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
They will push their way in this evening. A cloudy night with bits | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
and pieces of rain around. Turning misty. Some hill fog around. A murky | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
night and a muggy one. 13 degrees or 40 degrees. It will feel quite | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
humid. Tomorrow morning, we start of the white grey and misty. Some rain | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
around first thing in the morning. Cloud. To break out in the | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
afternoon. `` cloud will start to break up in the afternoon. Light | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
winds tomorrow and feeling pleasant enough. We will get attacked from | :27:24. | :27:30. | |
the South with an area of low pressure on Thursday `` on Wednesday | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
and Thursday afternoon. It will be quite wet on Wednesday. | :27:35. | :27:41. | |
Stop saying summer is here because it has not quite arrived! Excellent. | :27:42. | :28:04. | |
..then... ..he landed... | :28:05. | :28:11. | |
..and in a flurry of feathers, they were gone. | :28:12. | :28:24. | |
But that isn't quite the end of the story. | :28:25. | :28:25. | |
Perhaps you'll dream of a great adventure. | :28:26. | :28:27. | |
'I'm going on an adventure.' Wow. | :28:28. | :28:39. | |
That is a long way. Quite a bit of it is on bikes. | :28:40. | :28:43. | |
What are you going to do about your hair? | :28:44. | :28:44. | |
They told me I had good technique, I'm quite happy with that. | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
Is this the most adventurous thing you've ever done? Without a doubt. | :28:49. | :28:53. |
