It's almost 6.30, you're watching East Midlands Today. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
On our programme tonight - hand in your weapons. | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
The message from two grieving mothers. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
Both their sons were stabbed to death in Leicester and both are | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
backing a new amnesty. If you carry a knife, there are consequences. I | :00:21. | :00:31. | |
love him. And I miss him. Also tonight, what women's hair might | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
tell us about their chances of becoming pregnant. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
Plus, why a walk in the park could soon cost dog owners a hefty on the | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
spot fine. And Dennis Skinner the documentary, | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
a new cloud funded film about the beast of Bolsover. I believe that we | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
have to look after those people that haven't got two hate me is to rub | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
together. -- ha'pennies. Good evening and welcome | :01:00. | :01:08. | |
to the programme with Dominic Heale First tonight, they've borne | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
the same indescribable loss - Now two mothers of young men stabbed | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
to death in Leicester have spoken out in support | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
of the city's knife amnesty. The month-long campaign - | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
which began today - is part of new efforts to stem | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
the rising number of in a moment but first the women tell | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
us why NO mother should EVER suffer I really, really, | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
really, really miss you. Three years after her son's death, | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
Cheryl Armatrading says the pain isn't easing - | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
it's getting worse. 20-year-old Antoin Akpom had been | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
planning his future. He'd set up his own business, | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
secured a job teaching football in America, | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
and he was coaching in the UK. Then, in September 2013, | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
that all stopped. He died from a single stab wound | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
on Kent Street in Leicester. Children that he taught, | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
if it affected people Children that he taught, | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
it affected people When he set up a business to help | :02:21. | :02:21. | |
others, that's no longer there. There's a role model that's taken | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
away in less than a minute, Someone who understands | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
is Amy Morgan, her 16-year-old son Tyler Thompson was stabbed to death | :02:30. | :02:41. | |
on Leicester's Freeman Road North. One of 900 knife incidents | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
in the county last year. That figure's up by a third | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
on the year before. To bury your own child, | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
there's no words for it. I won't be able to watch him grow | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
up, he won't be able to achieve... just because somebody | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
decided to use a knife. There's no changing anything, | :03:05. | :03:05. | |
and you just literally have to live Two mothers sharing their loss | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
and sharing a new goal - For me, it's about looking at, | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
why is it happening? Not just putting a plaster | :03:18. | :03:28. | |
on when it happened, but putting prevention | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
measures into place. It's simple, do not carry | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
a knife, because if you're not going to use it yourself, | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
it might be turned And then it'll be your mum | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
or siblings that are getting that news that they are never | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
going to see you again. Listen to a mother's cry, | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
look around - lots of people no Listen to a mother's cry, | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
look around - lots of people know friends that have been stabbed, | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
friends that have been lost through knife crime - | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
and think about the emotions that they felt at that | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
time when it happened. That's what you'll be | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
doing to somebody else. We've just seen two very | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
powerful interviews there Talking to me now about the knife | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
amnesty being run by Leicestershire Police | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
is Inspector Simon Preston. Just start by telling me, | :04:08. | :04:08. | |
why has the number of people caught carrying knives in Leicestershire | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
increased in the past year I think it just goes to show | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
the proactive work that we are doing to try to reduce knife crime and | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
reduce the impact of knife crime. We all know what a devastating | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
effect knife crime has. We need to do all we can to take | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
knives off the street and certainly catching people with knives, | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
recovering them, is one We've seen you hold | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
knife amnesties before. How likely are they to | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
actually work, though? How likely is it that this one | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
is going to be effective? Well, I'm not going to stand | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
here and say that I expect us to recover hundreds | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
and hundreds of knives. It's a way of us raising awareness, | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
it's starting a conversation, it's hopefully taking some knives | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
off the street, and any offence that we prevent by taking one | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
knife off the street We really are trying | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
to promote his message that lives We'll have more on this story | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
tonight on BBC One at 10:25. New research by scientists | :05:02. | :05:11. | |
in the East Midlands suggests a hormone measured in a woman's hair | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
can affect the success of some Nurture fertility asked | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
the university of nottingham to compare levels of the stress | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
hormone cortisol as our health You can tell a lot from a few | :05:25. | :05:39. | |
strands of hair. It's been shown to contain one of the hormones, | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
cortisol, that's important in regulating fertility. One centimetre | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
of hair can tell you about the levels of cortisol that have been in | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
circulation in the previous month. What we found was that cortisol, | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
measured in the three months prior to starting IVF, predicted the | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
likelihood of women becoming pregnant. Such that women who had | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
higher levels of this hormone in their hair were much less likely to | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
become pregnant. Here at the University of Nottingham, this is | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
something of a world first. Although cortisol levels in human hair have | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
been looked at before, it hasn't been done in relation to IVF. The | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
major fertility clinic in Derbyshire funded the University of Nottingham | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
research. Our success rates are high already, we're looking at 60 to 70% | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
pregnancy rate. In the patients with normal cortisol levels, we saw that | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
rate. With higher levels, the pregnancy rate fell to around 40%. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
There was no other explanation. We looked at factors such as age or the | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
number of eggs, really important predictors, they were not as | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
powerful as the cortisol measurements in the hair. That is | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
really interesting. Joanne has had ABF -- IVF and has eight-year-old | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
Reggie. IVF is very stressful because the main thing you have to | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
have is hope. It is ultimately the thing that can also drive you | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
crackers. Anything that can lower your stress levels is always a | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
bonus. Sarah turned to acupuncture to relieve stress. She now has two | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
children, but it was seven cycles of IVF. Total, utter, emotional | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
roller-coaster. You start thinking, I'm going to get the baby out of | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
this, and then I went for scams and realised I haven't got as many eggs | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
as I thought there'd be or there wasn't as many follicles, so you | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
think, OK, that's reducing my chances. The high cortisol levels | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
might not be all down to stress. The researchers wanted to do a bigger | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
study. We've done a really small study on a sample of just under 90 | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
women. We want to do is work again. We are actively seeking | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
collaboration now with clinics and patients. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
We're in the swim with the amazing Hayley. | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
A paralympic prospect - despite putting her health | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
on the line every time she gets in the pool. | :07:59. | :08:09. | |
The University of Nottingham has asked for a full report | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
from its Students Union after a team taking part in a pub crawl | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
appeared to dress up as victims of the Alton Tower's rollercoaster | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
The students made their fancy dress outfits for the annual fundraising | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
event and posed for photos for a student news website. | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
They've apologised unreservedly for any offence or distress they may | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
have unwittingly caused to the teenagers who had legs | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
amputated following last year's Smiler ride accident. | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
I think what a lot of other people think, | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
and that is that they were trying to portray it. | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
They came out saying it was a traditional costume, | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
but it's not traditional to have mutated legs attached to it, | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
So the poll asked people if they thought it was | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
offensive or not - just a simple yes/no question - | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
Campaigners fighting to have Grantham A re-opened overnight, | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
say they've had a productive meeting with the Health Secretary. | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
Opening hours have been reduced because of a shortage of doctors. | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
The town's MP and six campaigners met Jeremy Hunt last night. | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
They say he assured them that the A will not close, | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
and that he would raise their concerns with | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
It's now well over a year since lines 2 and 3 of the Nottingham tram | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
And the problems during construction may seem like a distant memory. | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
But today, it's emerged that councils paid almost ?3.5 million | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
to help businesses stay afloat during the works. | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
For months on end, it was chaos on the Chilwell high road. | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
Now, more than a year has passed since the tramline opened, | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
but the businesses will never forget the destruction. | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
People couldn't get here, so they just didn't come, | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
they couldn't park, people sometimes couldn't get into the shops. | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
There was a great big hole outside our shop at one stage. | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
Takings dropped by probably half and now they've | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
dropped by three quarters, I think. | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
There's just nobody coming in, hardly. | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
In all, 128 businesses received financial support, and today we can | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
reveal how much taxpayers' money was needed to keep them afloat. | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
Nottinghamshire County Council gave ?1.33 million to shops | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
and cafes in Beeston, and that figure was matched | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
The city also paid around three quarters of a million | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
to businesses in Clifton, meaning the total amount spent | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
For many of the shops and cafes around here, | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
this money wasn't compensation, and without it they'd | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
Some are still struggling, and two businesses told me that, | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
after much heartache, they are now selling up. | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
The Cameron House Shop moved seven weeks ago, | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
We had no options during the tram work. | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
We had to literally stand there and try and trade | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
on a building site, so we didn't have compensation. | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
The financial assistance was to assist us to keep trading | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
during the tram works, so there's no compensation been | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
offered or ever will be offered, unfortunately. | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
A lot of time in shopping areas, you do have a high | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
With the financial assistance package, we were able to help | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
businesses through that long period of construction, | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
but there will always be certain changes in terms of the shops | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
The figures released today have reignited the debate | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
about the success of Nottingham's tram extension. | :11:36. | :11:36. | |
Studies show there are now fewer empty shop fronts in Beeston, | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
but other areas may never see the benefit. | :11:40. | :12:03. | |
Charnwood Borough Council is discussing introducing a public | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
space protection order for Bradgate Park. The orders are used to deal | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
with anti-social behaviour and could see pet owners hit with a ?100 on | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
the spot fine, as Amy Harris reports. Bradgate Park is a jewel in | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
Leicestershire's crown, but protecting the vast and varied | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
landscape and its wildlife is becoming challenging. Patrolling the | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
830 acres of public land are Rangers like Matt. Today, assisted by Holly. | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
And they have their work cut out. With an increase in dog fouling, | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
dear chasing and littering. It is totally unacceptable, really. It's | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
just spoiling it for everybody. They come to enjoy the park. It shouldn't | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
be like that. It's just irresponsible dog ownership. | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
Bradgate Park is one of Leicestershire's best loved beauty | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
spots and those in charge want to keep it that way. Charnwood Borough | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
Council looks set to approve a public spaces protection order for | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
the park and nearby wood. It targets dog owners who fail to clear up | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
after their pets or keep them under control. The order updates existing | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
bylaws and comes after trial restrictions were introduced in | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
June. Now, those who break the rules could face a ?100 on the spot fine. | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
We realise that a lot of good dog owners out there are very | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
responsible, so we're not expecting a big enforcement activity, and | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
these controls are brought in place to try to control people and make | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
sure everyone can enjoy the park. It's a good idea, especially with | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
young children around. The last thing you want is then walking | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
through it. The park is a wonderful place to come and people should | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
respect it. They shouldn't just assume they can do as they like. I | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
don't know whether it's enforceable, the park wardens, who would take | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
control of that. Enforcing the order may be difficult, but those in | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
charge of the threat of the find will encourage the minority of dog | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
owners to follow the majority's lead. | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
Prince Harry is to pay another visit to Nottingham, focusing on youth | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
His return to the city next Wednesday will be his fifth | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
He'll tour the Ice Centre and the Full Effect recording studio | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
before officially re-opening a police station where | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
The council was to help tackle anti-social behaviour. It has | :14:29. | :14:52. | |
attracted a lot of criticism from the public, with many saying the | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
homeless are being targeted by the order. Richard Davis has more. | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
This part in West Bridgeford is one of the places that the public space | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
protection order will be enforced. It will allow officers to issue ?100 | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
fixed penalty notices to those causing anti-social behaviour, and | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
rough sleepers. It has angered many who feel it targets the homeless. | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
Vicky Turton has set up a position in the hope of preventing it coming | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
into effect. Defining the one people in Nottinghamshire who cannot pay a | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
fine is not the answer. They won't pay it, they want benefit from it. | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
If anything, it will drag them away from society and seeking help. The | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
policy has been approved by councillors and will apply to these | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
areas in the borough. In a statement in response to the petition and | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
recent criticism, the authority says... | :15:46. | :16:10. | |
But Nottinghamshire homeless charity Framework say it's a step in the | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
wrong direction. Gower we don't agree with the decision to try to | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
criminalise homeless people and take the first step into intervening with | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
them through enforcement. Offenders could be fined if they don't use | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
recommended support services or later prosecuted. The council has | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
not said when the audible comment, but it is expected sometime soon. | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
There is quite a lively debate about this on our Facebook page. | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
All sorts on our Facebook page, have a look. | :16:47. | :16:47. | |
Still to come,... Dennis Skinner has seen a fair few dramas in his time | :16:48. | :16:58. | |
and now he is the subject of a new film that has been two years in the | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
making. We have a little clip of that. More | :17:01. | :17:12. | |
drama now, possibly... Usually, in football. | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
First tonight: The Nottingham Forest owner Fawaz Al Hasawi says he's | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
consulting his legal team after allegations he demanded | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
huge payments as part of any potential takeover. | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
Al Hasawi has said the article - published in a national | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
The article also claimed some players were threatening a revolt | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
But today club captain Chris Cohen told us the players never considered | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
it and any payment issues will be resolved. | :17:36. | :17:44. | |
There's been issues a couple of times since I've been | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
here and they always get sorted out, as they will be this | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
As I said, you don't want it to happen and you don't want... | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
You'd rather everything run completely smoothly, | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
but they are small issues and talk of a players' revolt | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
or whatever it was - if that's going to | :18:04. | :18:05. | |
Well, it really was an insightful interview with Cohen. | :18:06. | :18:15. | |
You can watch the whole thing on our BBC Nottingham Sport Facebook page. | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
Onto Leicester City and what a few days for manager Claudio Ranieri. | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
This week Leicester became one of just three teams | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
in the Champions League to take 9 points out on 9 in the competition. | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
in the Champions League to take 9 points out of 9 in the competition. | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
The other two sides are Athletico Madrid and Barcelona. | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
It's also his 65th birthday today but plans to retire | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
At Derby County, after a period of poor form manager Steve McClaren | :18:45. | :18:57. | |
says it's important his player don't feel scared and play without fear. | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
Had two games in charge - including the Rams first home win | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
in the league this season - and McClaren says his | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
priority is to restore the players confidence. | :19:09. | :19:17. | |
You know, the biggest word we've used with | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
You've not won for six months - courage - go out and play in front | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
of 30,000 people and we'll take responsibility for mistakes | :19:26. | :19:27. | |
because that's the one thing when you do play that style - | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
you're going to make mistakes, but you can't let that affect you. | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
And congratulations to Alfreton Town. | :19:37. | :19:37. | |
They claimed the final place in the first round proper | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
They beat Gateshead 3-2 in extra time. | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
Their reward - a home tie against Newport next month. | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
Now, if there's one thing all swimmers know, it's how much | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
time and energy goes into the sheer hard slog of producing winners. | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
And we've been pretty good at it in the East Midlands | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
over recent years - Becky Adlington and Adam Peaty are | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
And now there's a young prospect for the Paralympics who may just | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
be the next big thing, as Ed Collard's been finding out. | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
Training time for Grantham's young swimming stars - | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
all wearing the regulation club cap with one notable exception - | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
Last year, aged 16, she had her first epileptic seizure, | :20:27. | :20:35. | |
so the one thing we did was we bought her an orange hat | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
so that when she does her training sessions, she'll often | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
wear her orange hat so she's easy to pick out in the lanes just | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
in case something happened in the water. | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
It's not stopped her - she just happily takes her | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
Epilepsy is only the latest obstacle Hayley's had. | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
This recent brain scan dramatically illustrates just why she's missing | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
much of the power and control down her right side. | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
Not that you'd know from watching her in the pool - | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
It means I've got to kick more to catch them up, so it's harder, | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
so that makes it more difficult and stronger for me. | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
Hayley, don't breathe in that first stroke. | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
If we look from the perspective that she needs to swim | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
with the swimmers that are not disabled swimmers - | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
to keep up with them, it's a massive, massive effort. | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
And she never complains and she never sees her disability | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
And such dedication has turned her into the one | :21:36. | :21:48. | |
of the nation's best young prospects in para swimming, already top | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
In her disability category, she is first in breaststroke, | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
She is the second-fastest ever behind a paralympian in 100 | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
I need to keep healthy, so let's do swimming. | :22:02. | :22:11. | |
Swimming, it's easy to be disabled because you're not pooling hard. | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
So swimming is Hayley's life - and not just the dozens | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
There's also the day job - an apprenticeship at | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
the Meres Leisure Centre, much of it in the training pool | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
She's helping kids to swim and on the way to becoming a real | :22:28. | :22:45. | |
Paralympic star. Fantastic. That's amazing. Back to the film we | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
were talking about. He's one of the longest serving | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
members of Parliament, He's also been kicked | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
out of the Commons more It's not surprising | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
when in Parliament he has described some of his fellow MPs as a little | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
squirt of a minister, Now there's to be a film | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
about the man they call the Beast Our political editor Tony Roe has | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
been to see the film makers. I am proud to have | :23:14. | :23:22. | |
fought every single day. These words of mine don't come out | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
of my mouth because of greed. They've persuaded Dennis | :23:26. | :23:34. | |
Skinner to cooperate - But he still managed to fit us in - | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
all round the country, The remarkable thing | :23:41. | :23:50. | |
about Dennis Skinner is he's not only been an MP since 1970 - | :23:51. | :23:59. | |
one of only three to be there that long - before that, | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
he was a miner for 22 In Bolsover, there's | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
a recognition for their MP most politicians would hanker | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
for in these mistrustful times. He comes up and down here, | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
talks to the market traders, He's the most brilliant man | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
that there ever was. Excuse me, can I give | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
you a flyer for a documentary The young film-makers had to raise | :24:22. | :24:31. | |
the final funding they needed to pay There's a little bit | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
more to the man beyond, obviously, you know, | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
the fire and brimstone you see So I approached him to make | :24:41. | :24:42. | |
a documentary and, after a lengthy Two years later, we've filmed | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
everything, edited everything. There's always going to be something | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
else that needs to be done. Last night, they hit | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
their target - ?18,000. The number for the beast to hit | :24:59. | :25:00. | |
the big screen. He's one-of-a-kind, no matter what | :25:01. | :25:15. | |
you you think of him. Certainly is. | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
Here is the weather. Very high pressure, off the roof. Settled | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
conditions at the minute, it will stay with us through the next couple | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
of days and into the weekend with high-pressure dominating our | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
weather. Couple of showers coming in from the area of low pressure over | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
the North Sea, which we've seen today. Some lovely pictures coming | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
in. Just about caught the rainbow here near Derby. However, here in | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
Nottinghamshire, Steve took this lovely picture of the Glaxo Smith | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
Kline building, where we had plenty of sunshine. It has been a mixed | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
bag. If we have any showers out and about as we speak, they will clear | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
and it will be a mostly dry night tonight and it will get a bit | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
chilly. Not hugely so, temperatures will not drop that low, just nip in | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
the air. One or two showers still in places. These clear through, | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
variable cloud, clear spells, and because of those clear spells and | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
light breeze, we will get mist and fog forming. Temperatures down to | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
seven or 8 degrees for most towns and cities, but in more rural spots, | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
lower than that. Chilly starts tomorrow morning. If you have missed | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
and fog across southern and western parts, stubborn to clear but it will | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
do so through the morning. We import trade area -- drier air tomorrow. | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
Most of us, dry and fine day. A gentle northerly breeze, | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
temperatures around 12 or 13 degrees. For the 21st of October | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
tomorrow, it is not looking too bad at all. High-pressure staying with | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
us as we head into the weekend. Still that area of low pressure over | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
the North Sea, could give a couple of showers through Saturday | :26:47. | :26:49. | |
afternoon. Other than that, it stays dry and in the next system, it looks | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
like it'll stay further south. Good news for the weekend, on the whole | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
mostly dry, but it will get chilly overnight. Maybe a touch of grass | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
frost. Don't go anywhere, stay at home. | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
And before go - don't forget it's less than four weeks to go | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
BBC Children In Need, and Pudsey is encouraging everyone | :27:08. | :27:09. | |
to think about fund-raising on his tour of the East Midlands. | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
This week he stopped off at a training session | :27:13. | :27:14. | |
of the Leicester Riders basketball team. | :27:15. | :27:16. | |
The players were preparing ahead of their match | :27:17. | :27:18. | |
I think Pudsey impressed with his dribbling skills | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
Of course it's all about Children in Need - Friday, November 18th - | :27:22. | :27:30. | |
and fund-raising packs are available to download from the BBC website. | :27:31. | :27:40. |
