It's almost 18:30 - you're watching East Midlands Today. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight - a suspended jail sentence for the saleswoman who hounded | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Relentless pressure from Barbara Stone took everything from them. | :00:08. | :00:19. | |
When they realised they'd lost everything, the house they'd lived | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
in all their life, it was a moment of great trauma. My father, of | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
course, was a broken man. Also tonight, families take their | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
fight over children's heart surgery to Downing Street. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
The after-care is amazing. The care while you're there is amazing. And I | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
just think it would be a travesty if they it. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
Plus, a huge fire at a derelict textile factory in Leicester may | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
have been started deliberately. And tributes to Professor Sir Peter | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
Mansfield, MRI pioneer and Nobel Prize winner, who has died. | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
Good evening, and welcome to Thursday's programme | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
First tonight, a "heartless" Leicester saleswoman who pressured | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
elderly and vulnerable victims into paying out tens of thousands | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
of pounds for advertising was today given a 22-month suspended prison | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
Barbara Stone bombarded one elderly couple with daily phone calls, | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
and harassed them into parting with their life savings. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
They have both since died and the judge today told the court, | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
"they'd been hounded to their deaths." | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
The case formed part of the biggest investigation ever led by | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
the East Midlands Trading Standards team into cold calling, | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
which has seen another ten people prosecuted for fraudulent trading. | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
The story of what happened to my parents is just astonishing. | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
Seven years on, it still keeps me awake at night. | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Franny Moyle has spent years fighting for | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
John and Olga Moyle were in their 80s when they became | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
Working for Leicester-based Aspire magazine, she cold-called Mr Moyle | :02:10. | :02:19. | |
in 2010, persuading him to place a rental ad for their | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
It was the start of a 10-month campaign of harassment | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
which ultimately saw the couple lose the home they shared for 50 years. | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
It's quite clear to me that Barbara Stone targeted him. | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
She put him under a huge duress, calling him daily, harassing him. | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Between January and October, she was managing to secure ?8,000 | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
How horrified were you when you found out the sums of money | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
At this stage, John Moyle was nursing his dying wife | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
Despite repeatedly pleading for the ads to stop, | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
Stone took ?73,000 from his account, promising that nonexistent sponsors | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
What did they ever get out of all this money | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
We didn't get a single booking for the house. | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
Franny then discovered her father had also been conned out of another | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
?30,000 by a separate publishing group, Derby-based Wyvern Media, | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
Franny, describe the impact that all of this ended up | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
When they realised they'd lost everything, and the house | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
they lived in all their life, it was a moment of great trauma. | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
My father, of course, was a broken man. | :03:41. | :03:41. | |
My mother was ever so brave, and she put the house on the market. | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
But within about a month of the house going on the market, | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
In 2011, the East Midlands scambusters team | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
It was to become the biggest case they'd ever handled. | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
In 2012, they raided nine Wyvern Media offices. | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
They discovered thousands of customers were pressured into buying | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
And in October last year, ten people were sentenced to a total | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
62-year-old Barbara Stone has previously pleaded guilty | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
Her other victim was a dogs' charity in Shropshire, which lost ?14,000. | :04:24. | :04:35. | |
Nottingham Crown Court was told Mr Moyle was at his wit's end, | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
pleading for the ads to stop, drowning in a sea of paper, | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
The judge, Stuart Rafferty QC, said John and his wife, Olga, | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
He sentenced Stone to a 22-month suspended prison | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
sentence and he told her, "You directly made | :04:58. | :04:58. | |
The court was told Stone had apologised, but today | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
Do you want to say anything to your victims, Barbara Stone? | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
Do you think you should apologise to your victims? | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
Justice came too late for John and Olga. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Speaking before he died in 2015, John explain | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
I do get annoyed with myself that I fell for it. | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
But, I mean, they're just persisting the whole time. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
I just wanted to get rid of it all because I had | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
Franny Moyle struggles to understand why Stone did it. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
I see her as the person who brought tragedy on our family. | :05:34. | :05:43. | |
Joining us now is James Delaney from the East Midlands | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
scambusters team, who headed up this investigation. | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
James, welcome. Let's talk about Barbara Stone. From what we saw, she | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
seemed absolutely relentless. She was heartless. She embarked on a | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
callous cold calling campaign, subjecting people to direct | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
pressure, pressurised sales. She was relentless in taking money from them | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
fraudulently. As we've heard, she worked for Aspire magazine, but she | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
had previously been employed by Woven magazine. How complex was this | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
case? This was a huge operation. To put things into perspective, there | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
was over 230 different publications that were investigated. Over 90 | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
companies but banned nationally. In terms of this scale, we've never | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
dealt with anything as big. -- over 90 companies that banned nationally. | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
What kind of message does this send out, do you hope? I hope it sends | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
out a strong message that we will pursue any business that looks to | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
make illegal gains fraudulently by misleading and fraudulently | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
deceiving businesses and consumers. In this case, as in so many others, | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
elderly people are being targeted. What can they do, and what can their | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
relatives to? We would say just reported. If you believe you've been | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
a victim, or you know somebody, you need to report that through to | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Trading Standards. So much money has been lost. Is there any likelihood | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
that the victims get any of it back, if they're still with us? There is | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
an ongoing process of investigation. We've already seen that we've | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
managed to recover over ?100,000, which will go directly to some of | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
the victims involved in the case. That's an ongoing investigation as | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
well so were hopeful that more money will come forward for that. | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
Presumably this is something going on all the time. We hope that it | :07:45. | :07:53. | |
isn't going on all the time, but obviously the larger offences and | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
the bigger cases that come to our attention, we will act on those. | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
James, thank you very much indeed for speaking to us. | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
Next tonight, the battle to save children's heart surgery in | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
Campaigners joined MPs in Downing Street to hand | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
in a petition containing nearly 130,000 names - the names | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
of people fighting to keep the service in Leicester. | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
Their protest came just two hours after a surprise | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
the news that the long-awaited public consultation into plans | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
to end children's heart surgery at Glenfield Hospital had begun. | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
Our Health Correspondent, Rob Sissons, is there tonight. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Rob, how has this announcement gone down today? | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
Good evening. Well, it was a surprise, as you mentioned. 16 weeks | :08:38. | :08:47. | |
of consultation has begun. The clock has started ticking. The fact that | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
it coincided with this visit to Downing Street was a bit of a shock | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
for some campaigners. Our political editor was with them as they took | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
their fight to the heart of government. | :08:59. | :08:59. | |
The strength of feeling of a community, delivered | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
In the days of e-petitions, where it's easy to add your name | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
from your front room, these red boxes contained over | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
The couriers were East Midlands MPs, Labour and Tory, and campaigners | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
fighting against closure - including mothers who have | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
seen for themselves what the heart unit can do. | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
He had heart saving surgery at five months old. | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
While we were in there, they didn't just operate on him, | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
The care while you're there is amazing. | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
I just think it would be a travesty if they shut it. | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
There is absolutely no reason on God's earth to close this unit, | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
It has the best outcomes for children, probably | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
Two hours before the petition was handed in, NHS England, | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
which wants to close the congenital heart unit, open the public | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
Campaigners now know the real fight starts here. | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
I would say to anybody watching this programme who wants | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
to save children's heart surgery at Glenfield - get involved, | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
come along to Leicester Tigers on March the eighth between 6-8 PM. | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
Make sure your views and voices are heard. | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
Campaigners will be on the march again this weekend in Leicester, | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
The key now is to get the decision-makers to take | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
There will be a public consultation exercise, | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
which runs until June, and key politically is the fact | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
that this has the backing of both conservative and Labour MPs | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
The boss of Leicester's hospitals, John Adler, says this isn't a | :10:43. | :10:56. | |
fighter parochial self interest. It's about saving a high-performance | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
unit that is beloved by the local population and also growing. The | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
slogan on the doors here at Glenfield Hospital is "Hold on to | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
our hearts." That is the view of one of the consultants I spoke to, who | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
say they are well up for the fight. We've done it before, | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
and we will do it again. Our case is very strong, | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
there is no place to close our unit and dismantle our high | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
quality service. We fundamentally disagree | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
with what is being proposed and will NHS England has always argued that | :11:23. | :11:32. | |
fewer big centres is the way forward. That's in the interest of | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
children, babies, anyone who needs heart surgery. And they want to move | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
to that as soon as possible. But here they're saying this is a | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
fantastic service - don't wreck it. We will leave it there, thank you | :11:48. | :11:48. | |
very much. It was all smiles | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
between the managers of Leicester City and Derby County - | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
but what might last night's FA Cup match do | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
for their respective seasons? A man who attempted to meet | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
schoolgirl Kayleigh Haywood for sex days before she was raped | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
and murdered has been sentenced to 43 months in a young | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
offenders' institute. Bruce Cordwell contacted 15-year-old | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
Kayleigh through Facebook The 20-year-old admitted a charge | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
of attempting to arrange to meet He had nothing to do with her death | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
at the hands of Stephen Beadman, who was jailed for | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
35 years last summer. Derby's Rolls-Royce has | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
announced a new order The company's signed a deal | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
with Singapore Airlines for their Trent 1000 engines, | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
to power 19 Boeing 787 It follows a previous order in 2013 | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
for engines to power 50 787s. It's believed that a large fire | :12:48. | :12:56. | |
at a derelict building near Leicester city centre | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
was started deliberately The blaze at the former Corah | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
textiles factory also spread to a car dealership across the road, | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
damaging dozens of cars. A number of roads were closed | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
as dozens of firefighters A historic building | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
going up in flames. This is where thousands used to work | :13:13. | :13:22. | |
for Leicester hosiery firm, Corah - at its height, considered one | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
of the world's greatest But in the early hours of this | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
morning, that history Some of the metalwork that holds | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
are building up has collapsed, and you can see a number | :13:36. | :13:48. | |
of the external walls One of the reasons why | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
the Fire Service is so concerned about what happened here this | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
morning is that this is the seventh fire on this site | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
here in the last two years. In fact, a different corner | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
of the same building was on fire It's destroying the heritage | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
of Leicester City, because these are old buildings, and our fear | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
is at some point somebody, whether that's a member of public | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
or a firefighter, will die. How confident are you that this fire | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
was caused deliberately? Currently I'm happy | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
to say that we believe In total, around 35 cars at this | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
dealership on St Margaret's Way From other local businesses, concern | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
about yet another fire in the area. I thought, luckily our building | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
has not gone on fire. There's a lot of concern | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
because people are worrying But there's nothing you can | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
do until it happens. The Fire Service is expected to be | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
here for the rest of the day tackling the pockets of fire that | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
remain inside the building. Meanwhile, demolition work is due | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
to start here soon, to. Tributes have been paid | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
to Sir Peter Mansfield, the British inventor | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
of the MRI scanner. The Nobel Prize winner died | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
last night, aged 83. Sir Peter carried out | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
his pioneering work at the University of Nottingham - | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
work which revolutionised The University said, "Sir Peter | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
changed our world for the better and he has left an extraordinary | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
legacy which will continue to Quentin Rayner looks | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
back on his life. For someone who failed the 11 | :15:27. | :15:36. | |
plus and was told as a teenager that science wasn't for him, | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
Sir Peter Mansfield's Nobel Prize He received it for his work forty | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
years ago, developing MRI scanner technology | :15:42. | :15:54. | |
at the University of Nottingham. Back then he couldn't be | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
completely sure it was safe The worst thing that could have | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
happened would be a cardiac arrest. Working alongside Sir Peter | :15:59. | :16:09. | |
then was his Ph.D. Student, Peter Morris, | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
who is carrying on the pioneering He expected things | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
to happen quickly. We've lost the rock on which MRI | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
was founded, and the whole world MRI scanners are now commonplace | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
in major hospitals across the world. They've helped save thousands | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
of lives by diagnosing cancer is far One is looking at poor quality | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
images and trying to understand If there is a problem, then it | :16:36. | :16:44. | |
stands up very, very clearly. So medically I think | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
there's been a huge advance. And Sir Peter kept up | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
with developments. Only last month he returned | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
to the University as it celebrated It's nice to hear that there | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
is still some interest. Not just locally, but that there | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
are some interests in MRI I spent ten years working on ways | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
of reducing the noise level. Few people's lives leave | :17:15. | :17:26. | |
such a legacy on others. Sir Peter Mansfield, | :17:27. | :17:38. | |
who died last night. You're watching East Midlands Today. | :17:39. | :17:56. | |
A representative from Derby's Twin town has come to the city to discuss | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
projects. 12 months ago Derby City Council announced it would stop | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
funding the envoy's trips from the German town which left many | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
frustrated. However, this week meetings have been held to consider | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
partnerships with the College, University and councils despite the | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
financial restraints. A third coach found on sale in | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
Derbyshire has been identified by police as an illegal wildcat pulps. | :18:22. | :18:25. | |

to officers. A woman from Leicester is backing | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
a campaign to help raise awareness The East Midlands has been chosen | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
as a pilot for the "be clear Figures show that only a third | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
of people here think that discomfort in the stomach area could be | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
a sign of the disease. Sharon was diagnosed | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
with pancreatic cancer in 2013. I was going to the | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
doctors with problems. I was going with | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
indigestion, mainly. Indigestion, bloating, | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
feeling uncomfortable. I was also suffering | :19:15. | :19:15. | |
weight loss and diarrhoea. Lots of little things that | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
were all mounting up, Sharon is one of the lucky ones, | :19:19. | :19:23. | |

cancers - including pancreatic, The primary message is if they | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
have had any bloating, diarrhoea or abdominal discomfort for three | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
weeks or more and they haven't seen a doctor about it, | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
then we'd like to see them. But if it is, then cancer's | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
much easier to treat Don't be embarrassed, | :19:51. | :19:59. | |
they've heard it all before. If you've got diarrhoea, say, | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
"I've got diarrhoea." If your poo's changed colour, | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
tell them it's change colour. It is hoped that by raising | :20:08. | :20:09. | |
awareness, patients will be treated more quickly and | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
lives will be saved. I enjoy life and I don't | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
take things for granted Sharon is now cancer free and | :20:23. | :20:29. | |

sport. Colin has joined us in the studio. | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
First tonight, can that cup win over Derby rejunevate | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
Two years ago at this time Leicester were bottom of the Premier League. | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
Last year at this time they were top. | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
Now they're fighting relegation again - | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
But a much changed side last night pulled off a 3-1 win | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
over the Rams to show, that maybe, just maybe, they have the fight | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
This was a game that had far more importance | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
for Leicester City than Derby County - | :21:17. | :21:18. | |
a chance to get their faltering season back on track. | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
The home fans were out in force at the King Power Stadium, | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
but there were clearly some nerves in the stands. | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
The game didn't really get going until the second half. | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
The home side took the lead just a minute after the break, | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
But Derby kept the pressure on and were rewarded | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
with an equaliser from a deflected Abdul Kamara free kick. | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
Leicester finished the 90 minutes as the stronger side, | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
nearly benefiting from some very risky Derby defending. | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
But the game was destined for extra time, and whatever the under | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
pressure Claudio Ranieri told his players going into | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
Foxes created a number of chances, taking the lead through a wonderful | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
And they sealed their passage into the fifth round with a brilliant | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
individual effort from the man of the match, Demarai Gray. | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
COMMENTATOR: Gray has it now, attacking the Derby box. | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
What a goal, what a goal from Demarai Gray! | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
Derby made eight changes to their starting 11, | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
Manager Steve McClaren was very proud of his side's performance. | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
But unfortunately we just ran out of steam at the end. | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
They had better quality to win the game. | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
This was Leicester's first win in 2017, and the first time | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
Premier League survival is clearly still the priority, | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
but Andy King says this has the potential to get | :22:46. | :22:47. | |
It was important to get a win tonight, and to try and kick-start | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
You know, it's been a tough few weeks for us. | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
But I think tonight shows the fight within the squad. | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
Like I said, the win could hopefully kick-start us in the league now. | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
The win also relievs some of the pressure on Claudio Ranieri | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
ahead of the crucial game at Swansea on Sunday. | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
After the game, Derby's Steve McClaren said FA Cup | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
replays should be scrapped - sparking a big discussion | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
As you heard in that report, the teams sent out of the dressing | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
rooms yesterday evening were very different to those | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
And despite the match producing some top drawer goals, | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
McClaren remains convinced one-off cup matches are the answer. | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
I thought the first game was a fantastic game. | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
Extra time and penalties, one game would have been great. | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
But nobody wants a replay, especially in the middle of the week | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
when you've got important games at the weekend. | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
Just before we leave football - news that Nottingham Forest manager | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
Gary Brazil has dismissed reports the club were keen to off load | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
former Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner in January. | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
The stories appeared in the Danish press, | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
but Brazil says Bendtner's still a big part of the squad. | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
At the moment he's not getting a game, but there might come a point | :24:03. | :24:14. | |
in the future that we really need Nicholas. | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
From that, my point of view, he's a member of our squad and will be | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
a member of our squad till the end of the season. | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
In rugby, no surprises in the England line-up to face Wales | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
in Cardiff at the weekend - which is very good news | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
for Leicester Tigers' Ben Youngs and Dan Cole, who both start. | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
Owen Williams misses out on the Welsh side, though. | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
I'm going to leave you with a clash between Derby and Nottingham | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
to decide who wins a league - but not in football. | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
This is badminton, where the University of Nottingham Club | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
was playing Team Derby in the final of the National Badminton League. | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
The spoils went Nottingham's way in front of a big crowd | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
in the unusual venue of Milton Keynes' | :24:51. | :24:52. | |
On the winning side, Nottingham lad and Olympian Chris Adcock. | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
Anybody that came to watch it would have hopefully enjoyed themselves. | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
It was tougher on the losing team, but I think they also agreed | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
Hopefully it's going to be a good thing for badminton. | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
If we can keep the momentum going and get this another year, | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
Centre MK, I think the shopping centre was called. Taking sport to | :25:15. | :25:27. | |
the people! That's fantastic. Thank you very | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
much, Colin. Time now for the weather. I am | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
frozen, Sara. We may even see a frosty night with | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
the cloud over the top of us, which is quite rare. | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
A very similar story being told by all of our Weather Watchers today. | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
It has been a blanket of grey Cloud sitting over the East Midlands. Out | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
of that cloud at times we have seen a few snow grains and flurries. That | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
will continue through the evening and overnight. As I've just | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
mentioned, a frost developing underneath that blanket of cloud to | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
show how cold it really is. Temperatures within towns and cities | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
hovering around freezing tonight. In Rauball areas, one or two snow | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
showers may give a little dusting. We will see temperatures dropping as | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
low as -2 Celsius. It will continue in that we first thing tomorrow with | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
a frosty, cloudy start to the day on Friday. The thickness of that cloud | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
gradually produces a little bit of snow at times. In the form of snow | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
flurries, so it will only be very light in nature. The odd grain | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
allowed into the afternoon. And it feels bitterly cold outside with a | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
daytime temperature no higher than a 2-3 Celsius. Things will change a | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
little more Friday night into Saturday. What we're starting to see | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
as high pressure still in charge of the weather, but we've also got the | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
weather front coming in. An occlusion just comes in from the | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
eastern side of the North Sea. As that starts to meet with the cold | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
air, certainly through Saturday morning it has the potential to | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
start to turn quite wintry in the form of some snow showers. Not | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
everybody getting to see them, so there will be some disappointed | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
people on Twitter later! But we will see whether it does give us a | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
dusting of snow on Saturday. The air changes into the afternoon to | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
convert those showers into sleet. A similar story for Sunday, more in | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
the way of sleet showers because the temperature is just to lift a little | :27:25. | :27:25. | |
bit. But certainly a cold weekend. Well, I never heard of a snow grain. | :27:26. | :27:38. | |
It is like snowy drizzle - snizzle! A real weather guru there. Bye-bye. | :27:39. | :27:52. | |
OK, everyone, have you got your bamboo sticks? | :27:53. | :27:59. | |
If you just paint what you want to paint, | :28:00. | :28:01. | |
I've turned around, my painting washes away. | :28:02. | :28:07. | |
..and take on The Big Painting Challenge. | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
Remember, you're not painting a pond. | :28:13. | :28:14. | |
Before I met you, I was a civilised woman. | :28:15. | :28:45. | |
Now I don't even know what that means. | :28:46. | :28:48. |
