It's almost 6:30pm. Tonight, a Nottingham that man is jailed for

:00:00.:00:14.

making explosive and downloading a terrorist manual. A jury heard how

:00:15.:00:19.

Roger Smith saw himself as a crusader against Muslims.

:00:20.:00:24.

Horses right, an investigation is underway after a 46-year-old woman

:00:25.:00:28.

is seriously injured after being struck by a police car.

:00:29.:00:33.

Plus the social care initiative helping people like Miles live more

:00:34.:00:37.

independent lives. And Clumber Cathedral gets its

:00:38.:00:44.

makeover. Volunteers are cleaning up as carvings and other treasures. --

:00:45.:00:49.

it's carvings and other treasures. Good evening and welcome

:00:50.:00:51.

to the programme with Dominic Heale First tonight a "survivalist"

:00:52.:00:54.

who made explosives and stockpiled chemicals has been jailed

:00:55.:01:00.

for terrorism offences. 46-year-old Roger Smith claimed

:01:01.:01:04.

he wanted to protect the UK from an attack by the so-called

:01:05.:01:08.

Islamic State. Nottingham Crown Court heard that

:01:09.:01:11.

Smith saw himself as a crusader Our Social Affairs Correspondent,

:01:12.:01:14.

Jeremy Ball, is there. Smith's been sentenced

:01:15.:01:21.

for possessing those explosives. And for downloading a document

:01:22.:01:29.

called the Anarchy Cookbook. The judge said he wasn't

:01:30.:01:33.

planing an imminent attack, but they were ready to use

:01:34.:01:48.

at short notice. And his offences fell within

:01:49.:01:51.

the legal definition of terrorism. He told Smith, in your warped view,

:01:52.:01:53.

you were preparing the possibility of a siege, and for a local war

:01:54.:01:56.

with Islamic temperatures. That created an obvious and extreme

:01:57.:02:02.

risk to others, he said. And tonight Smith's beginning

:02:03.:02:05.

a four-year jail sentence. These are some gunpowder samples

:02:06.:02:13.

referred. This is why the bomb squad was called to his home. They have

:02:14.:02:20.

heard several clinical. She was grinding down the gunpowder pellets

:02:21.:02:24.

inside a domestic ball clock that was sealed with a bathroom plug. He

:02:25.:02:31.

said that he had an interest in chemistry and that she liked to make

:02:32.:02:37.

explosions in his own back garden for the entertainment of people in

:02:38.:02:41.

his family. You must have been concerned by what you found. Yes,

:02:42.:02:47.

and there is a risk attached that the harm that could be done not only

:02:48.:02:54.

to neighbours but also to himself. Investigation began after police

:02:55.:02:58.

were called to deal with a dispute between Smith and his neighbours.

:02:59.:03:03.

Behind these are reinforced to Gates, he had several knives and

:03:04.:03:08.

bows and arrows. His neighbour saw him testing the exposes. I went out

:03:09.:03:15.

the back and asked the copper is what they are doing, they said that

:03:16.:03:21.

if he had had a fire, it would have blown the block up. Smith was also

:03:22.:03:28.

convicted of possessing a copy of the Advocate Click. The downloading

:03:29.:03:39.

of the anarchist cookbook is totally unequal -- totally illegal. It

:03:40.:03:42.

supported that the members of the public understand that we searching

:03:43.:03:48.

bombs is an offence. You could velocity will ever be an excuse for

:03:49.:03:55.

downloading something terrorist related. -- your curiosity.

:03:56.:03:57.

So, Jeremy, what do we know about Roger Smith?

:03:58.:03:59.

Smith told the police he thought all citizens had the right

:04:00.:04:06.

And if there was another Lee Rigby-style attack,

:04:07.:04:08.

then he wanted to do something about it.

:04:09.:04:12.

But the judge told him, you're as misguided, and foolish,

:04:13.:04:14.

A woman is being treated for serious injuries in hospital after being hit

:04:15.:04:23.

by a police car in Nottingham last night.

:04:24.:04:25.

Police say the vehicle was on its way to an incident

:04:26.:04:28.

when it collided with the 46-year-old pedestrian.

:04:29.:04:30.

The police watchdog is now investigating

:04:31.:04:32.

The collision happened close to the tram stop on Wilkinson Street

:04:33.:04:37.

in the Basford area of Nottingham around 6:45pm yesterday.

:04:38.:04:42.

Several police cars were responding to an incident when one collided

:04:43.:04:45.

with a 46-year-old woman, who lives locally and

:04:46.:04:48.

She was taken by ambulance to the Queen's Medical Centre,

:04:49.:04:54.

where she remains in a serious condition.

:04:55.:04:58.

Nottinghamshire Police have released some more details and said

:04:59.:05:01.

that the police car involved was responding to an ongoing

:05:02.:05:03.

burglary when the collision took place and the superintendent leading

:05:04.:05:09.

the investigation, Simon Firth, released a statement saying,

:05:10.:05:13.

our thoughts are very much with the lady involved and her

:05:14.:05:15.

After being notified of the incident, the police watchdog

:05:16.:05:22.

the Independent Police Complaints Commission immediately deployed

:05:23.:05:25.

They'll be gathering CCTV along with other video

:05:26.:05:30.

footage as well as any data from the police vehicle.

:05:31.:05:35.

What we need to understand is the manner in which the police

:05:36.:05:38.

Did it have its emergency notifications on?

:05:39.:05:42.

Did it suspend the road traffic regulations?

:05:43.:05:52.

Which police officers are entitled to do when on emergency response.

:05:53.:05:56.

And to assess whether the appropriate risk assessments

:05:57.:05:58.

were carried out by the officers to ensure the public safety.

:05:59.:06:03.

The IPCC say there should be many potential witnesses

:06:04.:06:07.

because it was busy in the area at the time and a tram and bus both

:06:08.:06:11.

They're urging anyone who saw what happened to contact them.

:06:12.:06:22.

Still to come - in sport, a chance to hear from

:06:23.:06:25.

And we might have missed out on the main area of snow today. There is a

:06:26.:06:39.

chance of a few snow showers overnight but the main problem will

:06:40.:06:41.

be ice. A 32-year-old man from Derby has

:06:42.:06:43.

appeared in court today charged in connection with a series

:06:44.:06:46.

of sexual assaults in the city. Nadeem Bhatti from Queensway

:06:47.:06:49.

is accused of ten counts of sexual assault after a number of attacks

:06:50.:06:54.

on lone women in the Cathedral He's been remanded in custody

:06:55.:06:58.

until the 9th of February, when he will appear at Derby Crown

:06:59.:07:02.

Court. Drivers faced huge disruption today

:07:03.:07:07.

because of two separate incidents. A car turned on its side

:07:08.:07:11.

and caught fire on a stretch The road was closed for seven hours

:07:12.:07:15.

while the debris was cleared Meanwhile, on the A38

:07:16.:07:19.

near the Little Eaton Island in Derby there was a crash involving

:07:20.:07:24.

a lorry and a tractor. It was revealed in the Commons today

:07:25.:07:29.

that over 200 patients in Nottingham's Hospitals

:07:30.:07:33.

are medically safe to return home but can't because of

:07:34.:07:39.

a lack of social care. Meanwhile, the Labour leader

:07:40.:07:42.

Jeremy Corbyn has suggested one way He's told East Midlands Today

:07:43.:07:45.

that the huge debts run up by the NHS on building

:07:46.:07:49.

and maintaining new hospitals should Here's our political

:07:50.:07:52.

editor Tony Roe. If it is a crisis as labourers say,

:07:53.:08:07.

one in Nottinghamshire MP delivered that message in the comments. Today,

:08:08.:08:14.

Nottingham University hospitals have over 200 patients who are medically

:08:15.:08:21.

safe to be discharged but cannot be. Is it any wonder that

:08:22.:08:24.

Nottinghamshire at University Hospital is on black alert again?

:08:25.:08:29.

Nottinghamshire County Council are calling on the Government to take

:08:30.:08:34.

some action. When will the Government response to the crisis?

:08:35.:08:37.

While it is understood the true that there are pressures on the NHS and

:08:38.:08:44.

social care at this time. The Government has acted through the

:08:45.:08:47.

better confront and social care precept and bringing hovered ?900

:08:48.:08:54.

million of spending to give local authorities additional resources.

:08:55.:08:59.

There is a new unit at the Queens medical Centre to speed up the

:09:00.:09:03.

assessment of Friel and emergency patients. Jeremy Corbyn told me that

:09:04.:09:08.

finding social care properly will help preserve this problem. Yes, it

:09:09.:09:14.

does require more money. This Government has cut money over the

:09:15.:09:22.

past six years and underfunded the NHS. That has been recognised by the

:09:23.:09:32.

Tory committee. The last Labour Government used PSI is to invest in

:09:33.:09:39.

hospitals. This hospital has a ?200 billion bill that it will not pay

:09:40.:09:47.

off until very far away. My colleague, our Shadow Chancellor of

:09:48.:09:50.

the Exchequer, is looking at ways in which the Treasury could buy out the

:09:51.:09:58.

debts but that would mean that the burden is not sorted by the patient.

:09:59.:10:04.

I think that PFI was a big mistake. I think that the best way to invest

:10:05.:10:09.

in hospitals is by direct public investment. I don't think anybody

:10:10.:10:14.

know supports PFI. The Government says that it is not about throwing

:10:15.:10:18.

money at the NHS but about having a strong economy to give the NHS the

:10:19.:10:21.

funding it needs. And this afternoon,

:10:22.:10:24.

Nottinghamshire County Council approved a motion urging

:10:25.:10:27.

the Government to provide adequate The local authority says

:10:28.:10:29.

that across the country, an extra ?2.3 billion

:10:30.:10:35.

is urgently needed. Our political reporter, Peter Saull,

:10:36.:10:37.

has been learning about one initiative which is designed

:10:38.:10:40.

to reduce the strain on the system. Just like any 18-year-old,

:10:41.:10:49.

Miles from Gedling wants to be He's always struggled

with public transport, so here to help is a council

support worker, Adrian. Right, Miles, do you remember what

:11:01.:11:05.

we do when we get to the bus stop? But before that we need

:11:06.:11:09.

to cross the road, don't we? Gradually, Miles has

:11:10.:11:16.

gained the confidence When I first met him,

:11:17.:11:17.

although he was quite confident, he was unsure about crossing roads,

:11:18.:11:22.

finding what number bus to catch, things like that, but we broke it

:11:23.:11:25.

down and he's come on wonders. Nottinghamshire County Council

:11:26.:11:31.

is spending an extra ?750,000 over the next 18 months to pay for more

:11:32.:11:34.

will no longer have access an already stretched

on it all the time. So what do you like

:12:04.:12:05.

about the cinema, Miles? I liked watching

:12:06.:12:09.

the movie Passenger. While there is a positive outcome

:12:10.:12:11.

here, this initiative isn't a silver Today, the county council passed

pieces of Roman masonry still standing in Britain,

and its story - told in this museum -

attracts 27,000 visitors a year. Now the council hopes to triple that

:13:56.:13:58.

by updating and extending it - at a cost of up to ?7 million

:13:59.:14:03.

pounds. We have an opportunity

:14:04.:14:06.

to reinterpret this for Leicester people but also to bring it

still more people Leicester. By doing that, we can do more

by Leicester Civic Society. It's all part of the heritage

:14:56.:15:04.

of Leicester and its history, If we don't know where we come from,

:15:05.:15:06.

we don't know where we're going to. In tough economic times, spending

:15:07.:15:11.

on heritage may raise eyebrows, but those behind the plans insist

:15:12.:15:15.

that investing in Leicester's past will secure the

:15:16.:15:20.

city a bright future. Now, a wrestler from Leicester has

been selected to fight He's called Jack Stars

to meet Jack as he prepares It's a sport famous for its grudge

matches, dramatic writing and hard-fought victories. Now a

:16:03.:16:09.

wrestler from Leicester has been chosen to take part in the first

:16:10.:16:15.

ever WWE UK championship tournament. This is a dream come true. To be

:16:16.:16:22.

selected in the first ever WWE championship tournament to represent

:16:23.:16:25.

not only Leicester but the entire company. -- the entire country. It

:16:26.:16:32.

involves a lot of training. Jack spends up to three hours per day in

:16:33.:16:36.

the gym. She has weekly sessions in the ring on top of that. For him, it

:16:37.:16:42.

is more than just a fight. I was mesmerised from when I first started

:16:43.:16:47.

watching it. I always got dragged out of the house before it. I've

:16:48.:16:51.

remember just thinking if they can do it why can't I do it? He is the

:16:52.:16:59.

strongest life that I know. He is stronger than guys five times his

:17:00.:17:04.

side. To have somebody as dedicated as that is easy to teach. For Jack,

:17:05.:17:13.

just a few more days of practice before she takes on the ring. Did

:17:14.:17:22.

you see those biceps? We've been reminiscing about wrestling being on

the TV. My grandad was a big fan. Big Daddy was a favourite.

:17:34.:17:35.

Yes, Notts County's new manager is Kevin Nolan.

:17:36.:17:38.

The former West Ham, Bolton and Newcastle captain,

:17:39.:17:41.

who scored 99 Premier League goals, now has his first big break

:17:42.:17:44.

Hardy is the new owner at Notts and is a self-confessed Magpies fan.

:17:45.:18:02.

It is dark and side but a bright new beaver is starting here. A new owner

:18:03.:18:14.

and a new manager. I just food to congratulate first. How are you

:18:15.:18:18.

feeling? It's amazing. It's a dream come true. The last few weeks have

:18:19.:18:27.

been an emotional roller-coaster. Happy, sad, frustrated. It's all

:18:28.:18:32.

come together now. It's the start of the journey. And so excited. And why

:18:33.:18:38.

is Kevin Nolan is your new manager? I saw for five days and they all had

:18:39.:18:46.

their own strengths but Kevin Nolan is head and shoulders in terms of

:18:47.:18:50.

leadership. What this club needs is not just leadership on the pitch but

:18:51.:19:02.

also of the pitch. Absolutely. What about taking over a club at the top

:19:03.:19:10.

of -- at the bottom of League 2 in financial difficulty? I believe I

:19:11.:19:13.

have even plastic opportunity to build something with somebody that

:19:14.:19:20.

is starting a new journey at a new football club with me. I cant wait

:19:21.:19:24.

to get my knuckles in and get into it. We will give it everything we've

:19:25.:19:30.

got and it will give it enough this season. We will continue to build

:19:31.:19:35.

from there. Your first match is a big Nottinghamshire Derby. I've been

:19:36.:19:42.

finding out bit by bit as I'm walking around the ground. Come

:19:43.:19:48.

Saturday, we know it will be a difficult game. They do the basic

:19:49.:19:54.

things really well so I am looking forward to it and I will take it all

:19:55.:20:01.

in. I hope that we. To see some signs on Saturday but you certainly

:20:02.:20:04.

will see some signs began after and we will build from there. Looking

:20:05.:20:10.

forward to it. Looking forward to being back in football and in

:20:11.:20:11.

management. Good luck. Well, from a new manager starting

:20:12.:20:13.

out to the best manager We are of course talking

:20:14.:20:16.

about Leicester's Claudio Ranieri. He was named Fifa's world coach

:20:17.:20:19.

of the year this week. He claimed today he'd rather have

:20:20.:20:24.

more points on the board than any award but said the club certainly

:20:25.:20:27.

deserved the recognition. We made something and all

:20:28.:20:31.

the world spoke about it. And that is normal now

:20:32.:20:36.

to receive something special, Some Forest and Derby news now

:20:37.:20:54.

as the rams boss Steve McClaren says they are still interested in signing

:20:55.:21:00.

reds midfielder Henri Lansbury. Some reports had suggested

:21:01.:21:02.

a deal was all but done No, I find that strange,

:21:03.:21:06.

we've heard nothing of that. We made an enquiry

:21:07.:21:16.

a couple of weeks ago. I think there is turmoil

:21:17.:21:23.

going on at Forest at the You probably know more

:21:24.:21:28.

than I do on that. I think everything is up in the air

:21:29.:21:33.

in terms of Forest and Lansbury. Tomorrow we'll have a special

:21:34.:21:37.

feature on Derby's new And finally from me -

:21:38.:21:39.

the sad news the former England He was born in Worksop

:21:40.:21:45.

in Nottinghamshire. He was a defender for Grimsby

:21:46.:21:49.

and Lincoln and managed Watford, He died today, of a suspected

:21:50.:21:53.

heart attack, aged 72. We interviewed him a number of times

:21:54.:22:03.

and he was always a true gentleman. Everyone has said that. Very sad. It

:22:04.:22:17.

is January the 12th and as they get into the swing of the year, we

:22:18.:22:20.

started to think of spring cleaning. But imagine if it

:22:21.:22:22.

stretched over two months. Well, that's the task facing a small

:22:23.:22:24.

team of volunteers who have just started the annual deep clean

:22:25.:22:27.

of the chapel at Clumber Park Mind you, it's more

:22:28.:22:30.

like a Cathedral in minature. Quentin Rayner has

:22:31.:22:33.

been to take a look. The 180-foot spire of the Chapel

:22:34.:22:35.

of St Mary the Virgin, one of the most prominent features

:22:36.:22:39.

in the 3800 acres of Clumber Park. Completed in 1889 for the seventh

:22:40.:22:42.

Duke of Newcastle, it was built as a family place of worship,

:22:43.:22:46.

but on a grand scale. So why is it known as

:22:47.:22:51.

the cathedral in miniature? It got that name because

:22:52.:22:54.
