been significant changes, both locally and nationally, in the way | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
children's homes are regulated. And the allegations about ongoing | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
claims? We have been reporthng on these for several months and it was | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
only yesterday that we excltsively revealed these allegations hnto | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
historic child abuse had bedn extended to nine care homes and | :01:54. | :01:54. | |
units in the East Midlands. Fire fighters are dealing whth a | :01:55. | :01:58. | |

this year. His body was found at a house | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
in Beaumont Leys in Februarx. In the days before his death, | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
Mr Penman, who was deaf, made reports of harassment against Awat | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
Akram to Leicestershire Polhce. Today, Akram was found guilty | :02:26. | :02:29. | |

a young student, killed when a Malaysian airliner came down over | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
Eastern Ukraine earlier this year. Friends were speaking | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
at the funeral of Richard M`yne Our Chief News Reporter, | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
Quentin Rayner, was there. The private funeral was held at | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
St Anne's Parish Church, just a stone's throw from the | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
Maynes' family home in Leicdster. Richard was studying maths | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
and finance at Leeds University and was on his way to begin | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
a year`long placement in Australia. He was among almost 300 people who | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
were killed when it is thought MH17 was shot down over Eastern Tkraine | :03:00. | :03:03. | |

since he was a boy and becale a volunteer for Camp Charnwood, which | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
helps people manage the condition. friends from the charity pahd | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
tribute. He would have done anything | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
for anybody. It's such | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
a sad thing that has happendd. And then, | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
there are so many stories you remember that just make you | :03:26. | :03:26. | |
smile. I think it is | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
a wonderful gesture and I think it does reflect Richard's real | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
involvement with our local group, his gratitude to the group, it | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
helped him a lot when he was young. but his zest for life will never be | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
forgotten. With Scotland about to vote | :03:41. | :03:50. | |
on independence, there are calls tonight | :03:51. | :03:51. | |
for more powers to be devolved from Councils in | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
the East Midlands want more control Marching into Derbyshire in 174 , | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
even Bonnie Prince Charlie wanted a unified United Kingdom, | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
albeit under a Stuart monarch. 260 years later, Scotland is | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
deciding The English Democrats, meethng | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
in Leicester this weekend, support Scottish independence, and | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
ideally, Welsh, Northern Irish and English | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
devolution as well. We have to have much more sdnsible, | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
universal system of federalhsm, if we are going to go down | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
this route. Do you propose an | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
English Parliament, or should there be a region`l | :04:32. | :04:32. | |
assembly? they are without any mandatd, | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
democratically. Well, they are not looking | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
for regional powers. Ten councils in Derbyshire ` | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
counties, cities, districts and boroughs ` are hoping to become | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
the first non`city council group in Britain to persuade the Govdrnment | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
to let them spend directly on things like major road projects, | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
job creation, rather than People are looking at Scotl`nd and | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
thinking if that is good enough for If the Government devolved what is | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
currently spent by the Civil Service in Westminster, | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
we could spend it better locally. Nottingham could become a rdgional | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
centre under decentralisation plans But one academic says that could | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
have consequences The core cities idea is to build | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
super cities, that effectively dominate | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
the landscape around them. Nottingham seems to be one | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
of those cities Places like Derby and Derbyshire | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
would be significantly affected While the agendas are being laid | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
out now, how councils will benefit in future | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
depends hugely on the result of the Scottish referendum and the | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
outcome of And there'll be more on the question | :05:45. | :05:45. | |
of devolution on the Sunday Politics for the | :05:46. | :05:55. | |
East Midlands. The fastest jobs growth in the | :05:56. | :06:11. | |
country, but wages falling too. My children need something extra so I | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
had to do extra hours at work. And is it time for us to go it `lone? An | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
independent kingdom of the Dast Midlands. Sounds good, doesn't it? | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
Join me on Sunday. That's your news, | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
so it's goodbye from me ` but with your weather now, | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
here's Anna. We have had a pretty decent week for | :06:29. | :06:38. | |
September. Settled conditions are set to continue. High`presstre | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
remaining in charge. It shotld be mostly dry. There will be more in | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
the way of cloud but it will `` there will still be some sunshine. A | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
dry evening, the cloud may become thick enough to produce somd rain, | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
but it should stay dry throtgh the night. A few clearer spells and | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
where we have clear skies, the potential for some mist and fog | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
Temperatures 12 minimum unddr the cloud, but in some rural ardas, | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
temperatures could be down to six Celsius. Quite a cool start for | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
Saturday for some. Mist cle`ring, the cloud should at least through | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
the morning to get some bright spells. We should eventuallx see | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
some sunny spells in the afternoon but always a good deal of cloud | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
Temperatures 19 Celsius. I will leave you with the outlook for the | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
next few days, mid-next week. I will leave you with | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
an outlook now for the next few days. | :07:33. | :07:41. | |
We are in good shape. Most will stay dry. Hopefully you will see good | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
spells of sunshine. It will be breezy as we go through southern | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
areas. But not much, if any rain. Spare a thought for friends across | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
south-Eastern Europe. We have had torrential downpours over Italy into | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
the Balkans, parts | :08:02. | :08:02. |
