And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Amy Harris.

:00:11.:00:13.

:00:16.:00:19.

It follows an incident in Aylestone during the early

Two other boys, aged 13 and 15, have been charged with robbery.

:00:30.:00:34.

Two teenage girls arrested at the time have been released

:00:35.:00:37.

without charge and a 14-year-old girl remains on bail.

:00:38.:00:41.

A motorcyclist has died after a collision on one

:00:42.:00:43.

Officers were called to Gregory Boulevard just

:00:44.:00:48.

after midday after the collision between the motorbike

:00:49.:00:50.

The rider, a man in his 30s, died as a result of his injuries.

:00:51.:00:57.

A Special Constable was taken to hospital after being injured

:00:58.:00:59.

while making an arrest at a party last night.

:01:00.:01:03.

The incident happened on High Street in Melton Mowbray

:01:04.:01:05.

Leicestershire police say five people were arrested at the scene.

:01:06.:01:12.

The force's Chief Constable, Simon Cole, said the incident

:01:13.:01:14.

A martial arts and self-defence class for people

:01:15.:01:20.

with disabilities is being established in Loughborough.

:01:21.:01:22.

It's also open to people with any level of fitness or skills.

:01:23.:01:25.

The aim of this class is to build confidence and practice

:01:26.:01:31.

Carl, who is a black belt in free-style martial arts,

:01:32.:01:39.

already runs sessions in other areas.

:01:40.:01:40.

I'm not as vulnerable as people might think.

:01:41.:01:47.

So, definitely self-confidence, new skills, more of

:01:48.:01:52.

I'll see what they can actually do, I may give them a bit of a seed

:01:53.:02:00.

of an idea of what they could do in various situations,

:02:01.:02:02.

but they actually come up with a lot of the stuff themselves.

:02:03.:02:05.

The classes improve fitness as well as self defence.

:02:06.:02:12.

To know that if somebody did come up to you and threaten you,

:02:13.:02:15.

Because they'll think you're weak and an easy target.

:02:16.:02:24.

With the new class now becoming established it's hoped more people

:02:25.:02:27.

Emily Anderson, BBC East Midlands Today.

:02:28.:02:33.

Walk-outs by teaching staff in Derby are set to continue after talks

:02:34.:02:36.

A series of strikes have already been held by members

:02:37.:02:40.

The council has now agreed that an independent assessment can go

:02:41.:02:46.

ahead but the union says no progress has been made -

:02:47.:02:48.

Derbyshire's Police and Crime Commissioner is looking

:02:49.:02:55.

for volunteers to become part of his custody welfare scheme.

:02:56.:02:59.

They'll make unannounced visits to detainees to check

:03:00.:03:01.

on their welfare and the standard of their facilities.

:03:02.:03:05.

Hardya Dhindsa says the visitors will perform a vital scrutiny role.

:03:06.:03:10.

An information evening is being held at Derbyshire Police

:03:11.:03:12.

Leicester City fans have been reacting to yet another

:03:13.:03:19.

defeat for their team, this time in the FA Cup.

:03:20.:03:22.

The Foxes went out after a late goal from opponents Millwall yesterday.

:03:23.:03:26.

Simon Ward has been speaking to supporters today.

:03:27.:03:33.

This was Leicester's chance for a much-needed win.

:03:34.:03:36.

The Premier League champions have been in terrible league form,

:03:37.:03:41.

so a cup victory against League 1 Millwall could have been

:03:42.:03:43.

Instead, a determined Millwall, who played most of the second half

:03:44.:03:49.

with ten men, grabbed a late goal by Shaun Cummings.

:03:50.:03:51.

Fans are trying to remain positive back home in Leicester today.

:03:52.:03:56.

We are fans and we do support them through thick and thin.

:03:57.:04:05.

Personally, in our house, that's what we do.

:04:06.:04:07.

But, yeah, a lot of disappointed faces watching.

:04:08.:04:09.

I think there's a bit of fight gone, if I'm honest.

:04:10.:04:11.

I think they need to just pull themselves together a bit and get

:04:12.:04:15.

I think we've got to see this season out and hopefully get some results,

:04:16.:04:20.

Foxes never quit so we'll keep going and hope for the best

:04:21.:04:28.

and I hope Ranieri stays as the manager because he won us

:04:29.:04:31.

the league after 132-year history of playing football.

:04:32.:04:36.

We've pretty much got the same players, I just don't

:04:37.:04:39.

I don't know if it's all gone to their head.

:04:40.:04:42.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri says he needs

:04:43.:04:44.

soldiers and gladiators to save their season.

:04:45.:04:48.

In contrast with the Premier League, the Champions League's been very

:04:49.:04:51.

successful for Leicester and that's the next challenge,

:04:52.:04:53.

with a trip to Spain against Sevilla on Wednesday.

:04:54.:04:55.

Simon Ward, BBC East Midlands Today, Leicester.

:04:56.:05:00.

I spotted a bit of sunshine today but will it continue?

:05:01.:05:04.

The east saw the best of any sunshine today but as he moved

:05:05.:05:11.

through this evening and overnight we are going to return

:05:12.:05:13.

I think there will be quite a lot of murk round,

:05:14.:05:17.

some hill fog and some outbreaks of light and patchy rain

:05:18.:05:20.

Overnight lows around nine Celsius, so it will be really mild and not

:05:21.:05:26.

Again it will be a cloudy day, with one or two brighter intervals.

:05:27.:05:33.

If you catch some sun, it will be really pleasant

:05:34.:05:35.

It will be quite breezy and that cloud is thickening up

:05:36.:05:40.

into the afternoon and there's a few outbreaks of rain.

:05:41.:05:43.

As we move through the week, an unsettled picture and I think

:05:44.:05:46.

it will turn slightly cooler by midweek.

:05:47.:05:47.

That's it for now, we're back later at 10:20pm.

:05:48.:05:50.

on and on. It is because of the direction of the wind. Tomorrow's

:05:51.:06:20.

temperatures might be higher than today by a couple of degrees. There

:06:21.:06:24.

has been a lot of cloud. But we had some lovely pictures coming in. Some

:06:25.:06:28.

sunshine, but predominantly the clouds have been -- the skies have

:06:29.:06:35.

been cloudy. This will continue as well as a smattering of rain. For

:06:36.:06:42.

all those reasons it isn't going to be a cold night. In fact a night's

:06:43.:06:47.

temperatures will be higher than the daytime maximum averages for

:06:48.:06:48.
