Vandals have badly damaged a vital bridge for visitors to one

The hydraulics of the drawbridge to the visitor

centre at the Attenborough Nature Reserve in Nottingham were `ttacked

Temporary repairs were made this morning so the reserve could open.

They'd managed to sever the hoses and of course it led to

hydraulic oil spilling out hnto the SSSI nature reserve and potdntially

harming some of the ducks hdre, but fortunately when we had the

drawbridge installed, we made it very clear that we

wanted biodegradable oil to be used for the hydraulic ram

so that it wouldn't, in the event of something like this happdning,

actually harm the wildlife we have here on the reserve.

More than 1,000 Sikhs from the East Midlands will travel to London

Organisers say the Indian and British governments need to be more

It was the second busiest d`y when the attack took place `nd there

were thousands of lives lost, but at the same time, we also want

to send a strong united message to our government and also the Indian

government that we are very united on this issue. It's been 30 years

and we need the truth for this issue and we need justice to happdn.

An ancient tradition started 40 years ago has come to an end today.

The Gate to Southwell, as it's called, sees scores of Morrhs Men

But organisers claim red tape has silenced their bells,

This could be a scene from centuries ago. Dancers in an English village.

This is just one of the places they are performing on the way to

Southall, having collected loney the way. Every parish in the cotnty had

a certain amount to contribtte, from throttles farthing to the m`ximum 13

shillings and 4p for Nottingham This was their annual contrhbution

to the upkeep of the Minster. But this is the last time the event will

be run. Organisers say modern day official administration is the last

time the event will be run. Organisers say modern day official

administrations around the county difficult. In 1981, we revived it

and I don't think in those days we thought everybody would havd to stop

33 years later. We had a good run but unfortunately, the 21st century

has at last caught up with ts. And so too subtle. After a day dancing

and it'll drinking, they approach the Minster. `` and so to `` South

well. Let's see what's coming

in the forecast. Good evening. We have had some

lively downpours but it is ` quieter story for tomorrow.

For most places, a dry evenhng with plenty of sunshine around and we

hang onto those clear spells overnight, so we could have a few

mist patches around but certainly not a cold night, with tempdratures

well into double figures. Some brightness around first thing

tomorrow and largely dry with the risk of showers as we had through

the afternoon, but many places avoiding them altogether, and in the

sunshine, feeling pleasant with highs of 21. An unsettled start of

the week but temperatures not doing badly.

Good evening. Most of us have seen some rain so far today. It started

off in the south. As it worked its way north, we lost the thunder and

the lightning. Many of us ended the day on a decent note. After a decent

day in the north of Scotland, that band of rain marches northwards Be

hiengd it, there is a -- behind it, there is a lot of dry weather to be

found. Most of us are dry by the end of the night and relatively mild.

Starting Sunday in Scotland, still some showers around in the south and

the west. I suspect the north and the east are getting off to a decent

start to the day. The North West, there may be a bit more cloud.

Northern Ireland doing quite well through the morning. Across Wales,
