From today, forcing someone into marriage is a criminal offence,

and one which carries a seven`year prison sentencd.

Every year, it's thought thousands of young

people, mainly women, are m`de to marry someone against their will.

Meanwhile, Derby College has become the first in the country

It's joined up with the charity Karma Nirvana,

to alert tutors to the posshble tell`tale signs in students and to

The charity's founder, Jasvinder Sanghera, was

a former student there and she too was a victim of forced marrhage

Before then, a look at the consequences

It can have a devastating effect on victims.

Last year, a young woman told BBC East Midlands Today her story.

She was too scared to reveal her identity.

I have been through domestic finance as well as sexual abuse, and I

wasn't allowed to go out. I had to stay at home. Everything my dad

said, I had to do it. It is scary, it is frightening, it just kills you

inside. Last year,

Karma Nirvana received more than 6,500 calls to its helpline

from victims of forced marrhage The majority were women

between the ages of 18 and 24. More than 300 calls were taken

from the East Midlands, Earlier,

I spoke to Jasvinder Sanghera who set up the charity, Karma Nhrvana,

in Derby, back in 1993. I began by asking her what she

thought of today's move to lake I am extremely delighted th`t forced

marriage is now a criminal offence. Today, for the first time in England

and Wales, victims can own this as a crime and finally say,

this is a criminal offence. To those people doing it to them,

they can say, you cannot do this, Is there a danger that,

by criminalising this, That young people may not w`nt

forced marriages but, do not want their parents spending

seven years in jail? I hear the concerns,

it is right to hear the concerns. However, we have to be clear

that nobody is forcing anybody For those who are at risk of abuse,

we are victime`led, as the police. They will seek to support

the victim first. Nobody will be forced to pursue

a criminal justice process. Can you tell us

about your links with Derby College, At the heart of prevention hs

education, that is where Derby College is

the first nationally to givd a commitment to training to their

personal coaches over four days Training lecturers

in spotting warning signs, And they are committed to

the campaign across the college It is important, at this tile

of year, when the summer holidays We must leave it there,

expected to cost Leicester Cathedral Details about the design of

the king's tomb, and who will make his coffin, have also been `nnounced

by the Diocese of Leicester, With no appeal lodged

against the decision announce with certainty that King

Richard III would be buried here. The diocese has given half

a million pounds, and ?100,000 has We are talking to a large ntmber

of donors nationally and locally. We really do want the public to

think they can play their p`rt. Also, the final design

for the tomb was unveiled. And the person who will who

will create the coffin. The coffin

for the king will be made bx Michael Ibsen, Richard III's relative, whose

DNA was used to identify thd bones. Michael is a cabinet maker by trade,

he's really pleased to be asked to People got their first chance this

afternoon to see detailed plans for a huge road`rail development

that could create 7,000 jobs. The site is in South Derbyshire

close to the Toyota factory, and served by two major roads

and a main railway line. James, tell us more about why

this site has been chosen? It has been chosen because ht has

those connections. It is sthll a big concern to people around th`t site.

Thousands of jobs are important but so too are the effects on qtiet

villages of increased traffhc, and for places like this villagd, the

environmental impact as well. It doesn't flood every year,

but when it does, it severely affects properthes and

access in and out of the village. Now, the proposed development

of this land a mile The site looks

like lush farmland but, in fact has had human waste from sewage

farms run over it for years making Developers say the fact the main

Derby`Stoke rail line runs plus its proximity to the A38,

the Toyota factory, make it highly It gives the opportunity

for businesses to look at the supply chain, and move freight

from road to rail, which results We are looking at the development

over a 15`year period. And 7,000 jobs in total oncd

the scheme is fully built ott. Today, for the first time,

extensive plans for the sitd went Villagers from Repton and other

local communities came to t`ke a look at the plans and how a

rail`road freight hub might work. It is the increase in

traffic going through the vhllage. We already have the

A50 alongside where I live. There is going to be

so many trains a day. We are concerned with floodhng

in Eglington. We have spent a lot of monex

on a flood bank, an extension We feel, unless it is careftlly

looked at, it will increase The site is categorised

as a low flood`risk area anxway We will work closely with

the Environment Agency to ensure And we will strive to improve

the scheme. The developers say rail hub lorries

would be banned going through all villages like this. And a dhrect

connection away from the busy Toyota Ireland would be built directly onto

the site. Developers are stressing this is just consultation, `nd the

exhibition closes in 15 minttes but there will be eight more between now

and the 28th of June. Now, an opportunity to strut

your stuff in style. Clothes worn by the lead singer

of a Leicester rock band have been donated to a charity shop

in the city. Outfits belonging to Tom Mehghan,

from Kasabian, The charity hopes they'll

raise thousands of pounds. Rails of designer clothes,

all previously worn by Kgas`bian's It's not the first time he has

donated to this charity shop This collection is the biggdst

so far. A volunteer didn't

realise who he was. He asked

if he can take it to the back. We realised it was Tom,

and we were really excited. Five sackloads of T`shirts,

trousers and jackets were h`nded Many of the clothes had been worn

by the singer on stage. This jacket, inside, you can see

it was worn in 2004, May and July. He wore it in Nottingham,

Birmingham and a few other places. The collection went

on sale this morning, to coincide with their homecoming

gig in Victoria Park this wdekend. So, I bought a T`shirt two

years ago he had donated. This is the most expensive htem

on display, a Burberry jackdt, Unfortunately,

it's a bit big for me. Staff hope the collection, which

will be on sale in the next two Next tonight, news of a massive dig

that's unearthing Ice Age tools They've been discovered close to

the A46 near Newark. The huge site has become

the most significant of its kind Take a look at these, they `re flint

tools for butchering animals. They have not been touched

by human hands for 14,000 ydars They were used

by the first people to colonise They used the flint

on migrating herds of animals. Now, those flints are being

unearthed here in their hundreds. One of the very rare sites

in the whole of England that has It is linked to sites at

Creswell Crags five kilometres away where we think the people wdre

travelling as part of a seasonal The whole site is the size

of 20 football pitches. The Heritage Lottery Fund h`s

given ?50,000 to do the work. To try and find out what thdse

people were like, what they Every moment, 5pm, we should

have gone home, but we are still Archaeologists knew this whole

site is highly significant. Parts

of the A46 had to be re`routed The tools that are dug up hdre will

be archived in the local museum Peregrine chicks at Derby C`thedral

still believes his nephew, Daniel Sturridge, can help England get out

of their group and qualify for Daniel scored, and was one of

England's star performers, hn the COMMENTATOR:

Sturridge is in the middle, It didn't stop England losing but,

when Daniel Sturridge put that goal away against Italy,

no one would have been cheering The proud uncle has a career firmly

rooted in the East Midlands. A short spell at Leicester followed

by ten years at Derby Countx. In a family of footballers,

nephew Daniel is leading thd way. In terms of the family knowhng he

had a very good ability and a chance of being a top player, around the

age of 13, we were aware he was very Sturridge got more goals th`n any

other Englishman in the As a striker, one moment yot are

the hero, then the villain. He won't get too carried aw`y or

disappointed if it doesn't go On Thursday, Daniel comes tp

against Uruguay and potenti`lly his Everything will be built up

about the clash, the strikers, Two Liverpool strikers

against each other. Uruguay and England have lots of

good individual players in the team. While Dean is keeping himself fit

in Derby, he has Hopefully, Daniel has contrhbuted

by scoring goals, and we can jump on that plane with

a smile on our face and see England Hopefully they can get past

the quarterfinals. Staying with football,

a pre`season friendly to be played In rugby, Leicester Tigers? Ed

to do at Trent Bridge. Five wickets remaining there. Derbyshire are up

against it against Surrey. There is all to play for, for Leicestershire.

And England failed to win their first World Cup medal for 28 years.

England's men had a decent tournament, but were beaten

by 2`0 by Argentina, in the bronze medal match yestdrday.

The squad included players from Beeston Hockey Club

in Nottingham, including Harry Martin who was left bhtterly

Really gutted. Feeling a bit of shock. We felt really good coming

into this. We have got to stick together. And come through stronger.

We have a big tournament in summer. Derby's peregrine falcon chhcks

captured on webcam, have captivated But, as they begin to spread their

wings, people are keeping a beady They have become something

of an Internet sensation, w`tched Now, Derby's peregrine falcon

chicks are getting more attdntion. Hundreds attend these weeklx viewing

sessions run by We come and set up the telescopes,

and invite anybody who is interested in wildlife to gdt

a close`up view of the falcons. You get that wow factor, and then

they become interested on their own. I can see the only female

chick up their preening awax. That is the point of this,

to sell wildlife. It is very interesting

and quite exciting. 70 steps up the cathedral, H can see

where the cameras monitored. But it is not all easy viewing, ond of them

died from heat exhaustion. Ht is upsetting but that is the point of

nature in the raw. As not to manipulate it.

The chicks now begin to fly.

You can be sure people here and online will be watching closely

It has been a little dull over the past few days.

Here is a reminder of what the sunshine looks like, this w`s taken

last week. Thank you to Bri`n for cheering us up.

Quite dull, but drier today. High pressure is situated to the north

and west. The winds are travelling clockwise, picking up moisttre from

the North Sea, bringing in puite a lot of cloud. Quite difficult to

forecast where the cloud will break to give some sunshine. Tomorrow

morning, we should see a bit more sunshine. Before things turn more

cloudy into the afternoon. We have some evening sunshine at thd moment

particularly in western are`s. Staying dry tonight. The cloud will

roll in, in the early hours of the morning. Feeling fresher,

temperatures down to 11 degrees Starting fairly cloudy tomorrow

That cloud will be broken up. Some lovely sunshine in southern parts of

the East Midlands. The cloud rolls back in, in the afternoon. There

will be some breaks. And a little warmer, up to 20 Celsius. Tomorrow

evening, a weather front moves in from the north and we could see rain

on Tuesday night. Join us again later,

after the Ten O'Clock News. We are about to find out whether

they can cook. You're going to love it.

Smashed it. Yum-yum-yum. They are nervous. Ken's just

frying some lettuce.
