:00:04. > :00:07.Our top story tonight - a woman's jailed for crying rape.

:00:07. > :00:12.Amber Mills accused a former lover - but later admitted she'd made it

:00:12. > :00:20.Also tonight - the city schools facing a parking levy bill of

:00:20. > :00:30.�500,000 a year. And a wagtail in the works - the

:00:30. > :00:51.

:00:51. > :00:55.tiny bird that's brought a building First tonight, the damage done by

:00:55. > :00:57.women who make false allegations of rape. Innocent men arrested, police

:00:57. > :01:03.resources wasted and genuine victims discouraged from coming

:01:03. > :01:08.forward. One Derby woman who told police she'd been raped was today

:01:08. > :01:18.jailed for 16 months. She'd accused a former lover but later admitted,

:01:18. > :01:22."I suppose I was just being evil". Simon Hare was in court.

:01:22. > :01:25.Rape victims are entitled to anonymity. But Amber Mills, seen

:01:25. > :01:28.here hiding her face, is no such victim. She'd told police she'd

:01:28. > :01:32.been raped by a former boyfriend - but she'd made it up just to get

:01:32. > :01:34.back at him. Derby Crown Court heard he was arrested and

:01:34. > :01:39.questioned over that and another allegation that he'd indecently

:01:39. > :01:44.exposed himself to her. Mills later admitted, "I suppose I was just

:01:44. > :01:52.being evil". She pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice

:01:52. > :01:55.and tonight finds herself behind bars.

:01:55. > :02:01.Sentencing Mills took 16 months, the judge said that this was a

:02:01. > :02:06.planned, despicable, determined and sustained attempt at revenge. He

:02:06. > :02:09.added that significant police resources had been wasted by the

:02:09. > :02:14.investigation into her totally false allegations. Officers from

:02:14. > :02:21.Derbyshire police's Operation Diamond unit, which investigates

:02:21. > :02:23.sexual crimes spends hours investigating the claims. They're

:02:23. > :02:27.very, very rare occasions that people make false reports, my

:02:27. > :02:32.officers will get to the bottom of it and those people will have to be

:02:32. > :02:37.prosecuted because it is wrong. Police time is so scarce and

:02:37. > :02:42.resources are so difficult at this moment that it should not be wasted

:02:42. > :02:45.on false allegations. The false -- the judge also said that false

:02:45. > :02:54.allegations have not only affect the confidence of the police but

:02:54. > :02:59.also have an impact on conviction rates and a genuine victims of rape.

:02:59. > :03:05.Earlier, I spoke to Sue Younger of Victim Support. She says that false

:03:05. > :03:09.rape allegations can have serious consequences. They are very rare

:03:09. > :03:13.indeed, although they do receive a lot of media coverage, which often

:03:13. > :03:17.leads people to believe that they happen more often than they do.

:03:17. > :03:22.Let's take the effects on the victim - the person who has been

:03:22. > :03:27.falsely accused, usually a man. It is devastating, isn't it?

:03:27. > :03:31.Absolutely. It is ethically wrong to make false allegations of rape,

:03:32. > :03:37.and the things that can happen can be very severe. It can affect homes,

:03:37. > :03:45.jobs, relationships. It can be very traumatic. Does it also affects the

:03:45. > :03:48.way that genuine rape victims feel about reported it? Yes, it can

:03:48. > :03:55.devalue Gabriel rape victim's experience, because they can often

:03:55. > :03:58.feel that they can't come to court. -- a real rape victim. It is very

:03:58. > :04:05.difficult to get the help and support that they need and deserve,

:04:05. > :04:09.and that is where Victim Support comes in. Every rape investigation

:04:09. > :04:15.can be very complex, so if you are talking about wasting police time,

:04:15. > :04:25.it costs an awful lot of money.. does. It wastes a lot of people's

:04:25. > :04:32.

:04:32. > :04:35.time. It should not happen. A drink-driver who injured a

:04:35. > :04:37.policeman and narrowly missed a group of pedestrians has been

:04:37. > :04:41.jailed for six months. 25-year-old Andrew Richmond was trying to get

:04:41. > :04:43.away when he pinned the officer's leg between his car and a patrol

:04:43. > :04:47.vehicle. His escape had been blocked by a level crossing on

:04:47. > :04:50.Sawley Road in Long Eaton. A short time later, Richmond crashed into a

:04:50. > :04:51.house and parked cars - and almost hit six people who were walking

:04:51. > :04:54.past. Meanwhile, Leicestershire Police

:04:54. > :04:55.say they are disappointed at the high number of people arrested

:04:55. > :04:59.during their summer campaign against drink-driving. Officers

:04:59. > :05:03.arrested 100 in just 30 days. Almost a quarter will appear in

:05:03. > :05:13.court in the next month. Police praised pubs for offering free soft

:05:13. > :05:15.

:05:15. > :05:18.drinks for designated drivers. Still to come on the programme -

:05:18. > :05:21.the clutch problem that's halted a digger at a building site. Namely,

:05:21. > :05:31.the clutch of eggs being hatched by a wagtail under the wheels of this

:05:31. > :05:31.

:05:31. > :05:36.Next year, schools in Nottingham face a potential bill of more than

:05:36. > :05:41.�500,000 just for parking. It's because of the workplace parking

:05:41. > :05:44.levy, which comes into force next April. Schools now face a choice.

:05:44. > :05:47.Pay up from money that could be used for education, or pass on the

:05:47. > :05:57.costs to those who drive in - staff and sixth-form students. Mike

:05:57. > :06:00.

:06:00. > :06:04.O'Sullivan has this report. Driving into school, this sixth-

:06:04. > :06:09.former at the Trinity Catholic School in Long Eaton in Nottingham

:06:09. > :06:15.parks on side. From next April, he could have to pay an estimated �279

:06:15. > :06:19.per year just to do that. I decided to drive to make it easier for me

:06:19. > :06:25.to get to school and to save money and make my student life easier.

:06:25. > :06:31.Having to pay would be another cost on running my car. The school has

:06:31. > :06:38.around 80 parking spaces. Its individual bill for the thirstier

:06:38. > :06:41.could be around �22,000. -- the first year. Governor has have to

:06:41. > :06:45.decide whether the cost is borne by the school or passed on to

:06:45. > :06:50.employees. It is assessed on the car parking spaces in the school

:06:50. > :06:54.area, so the students have to drive in and are subject to the same

:06:54. > :07:00.costs. Elliott says he will continue to drive in, but try to

:07:00. > :07:03.park on the street. Mike O'Sullivan reporting there. So - schools

:07:03. > :07:06.affected. Who else will be liable for the charge - and who will

:07:06. > :07:15.escape it? Here's the workplace parking levy zone. It's estimated

:07:15. > :07:18.it contains around 38,000 parking spaces. The levy's being put in

:07:18. > :07:20.place to help pay for public transport projects in Nottingham.

:07:20. > :07:26.Some 3,500 premises will have to licence their parking spaces. And

:07:26. > :07:31.each space will cost �279 a year in the first year. That's at current

:07:31. > :07:34.estimates - no guarantee it won't go up because of inflation. So,

:07:34. > :07:43.what about charging Nottingham's schools? Is it really fair to

:07:43. > :07:46.charge even pupils to park at school? We put that to the council.

:07:46. > :07:52.A painter park your car, or wherever you are parking at, or

:07:52. > :07:56.whether it is in town or wherever it is. -- paying to park your car.

:07:56. > :08:01.It is something you have to take into account when you were deciding

:08:01. > :08:11.whether you can afford to have a calf.

:08:11. > :08:13.

:08:13. > :08:15.Mike O'Sullivan can rejoin us. A landmark day for the project? Yes,

:08:15. > :08:19.because from today, businesses and organisations can actually apply

:08:19. > :08:22.for a workplace parking levy licence. So they're having to think

:08:22. > :08:24.hard now about the number of parking spaces they have, and the

:08:24. > :08:27.number of vehicles that regularly use their site. That's because the

:08:27. > :08:30.council will be enforcing all this with ANPR technology in a special

:08:30. > :08:32.van, costing around �90,000. This is technology that recognises and

:08:32. > :08:35.records number plates. They'll be making regular sweeps of premises

:08:35. > :08:38.to check who is regularly parking there. That could mean an extra

:08:38. > :08:41.bill in some places. The businesses and organisations will also have to

:08:41. > :08:45.decide whether to pay the levy themselves, or pass on the charge

:08:45. > :08:49.to the car user. Now if they do, the car user will have to pay VAT

:08:49. > :08:51.on top. But the city council says that won't apply if the business or

:08:51. > :08:54.organisation starts up a tax arrangement called a salary

:08:54. > :08:57.sacrifice. But whether or not that would apply to a sixth-former or

:08:57. > :09:07.student isn't clear. Registration has to be completed by October the

:09:07. > :09:27.

:09:27. > :09:32.Not everyone will have to pay. The NHS is not liable, so hospitals, GP

:09:32. > :09:36.surgeries, the emergency services will not pay. What about Nottingham

:09:36. > :09:43.City Council? Yes, they will be charging their own people, too,

:09:43. > :09:47.based on salary grades. A union will ballot staff at

:09:47. > :09:51.Nottinghamshire Police over whether to take industrial action in a

:09:51. > :09:56.second round of redundancies. But also needs to save �46 million over

:09:56. > :10:01.the next four years. The union Unison claims Nottinghamshire

:10:01. > :10:05.Police has announced 746 redundancies. The police, though,

:10:05. > :10:08.accused the union of using inflammatory language and said the

:10:08. > :10:12.eventual number of redundancies is expected to be a fraction of that

:10:12. > :10:17.they get. The consultation period to decide

:10:17. > :10:20.the future of children's heart surgery in Leicester ended today. A

:10:20. > :10:24.government review is considering stopping specialist operations at

:10:24. > :10:29.Glenfield Hospital as part of a nationwide changes, but supporters

:10:29. > :10:33.have spent weeks is any campaigning. Already, 20,000 responses from the

:10:33. > :10:39.East Midlands and petitions with more than 100,000 names have been

:10:39. > :10:45.handed in to ministers. Tesco shareholders have been

:10:45. > :10:47.lobbied by 100 pig producers. Members of the British Pig Industry

:10:47. > :10:52.Support Group say that a rising feed prices mean that they

:10:52. > :10:56.currently lose �10 on every paid that they sell to Tesco. They want

:10:56. > :11:05.the supermarket chain to follow Waitrose, Morrisons and McDonald's

:11:05. > :11:07.in supporting producers with higher payments.

:11:07. > :11:10.A fundraiser for the Maggie's Cancer Care Centre in Nottingham

:11:10. > :11:13.has been jailed for a year after admitting trying to steal from the

:11:13. > :11:16.charity. Emma Critchley was told by the judge the offences were so

:11:16. > :11:23.grave that prison was the only option. Sarah Teale has been

:11:23. > :11:26.following the story, and reports from Nottingham Crown Court.

:11:26. > :11:30.Yes, this is Maggie's Cancer Centre, which is due to open later this

:11:30. > :11:32.year. It'll be a place of support and care for cancer patients and

:11:32. > :11:35.their families. Emma Critchley was the well-known face behind a

:11:35. > :11:38.campaign to raise �500,000 towards the building of it. But today

:11:38. > :11:40.Nottingham Crown Court heard how the mother of two actually tried to

:11:40. > :11:43.steal money from the charity instead. The 36-year-old from

:11:43. > :11:51.Kirkby Woodhouse received a cheque for �3,500 from a cancer patient

:11:51. > :11:54.who had held a garden party to raise money for the charity project.

:11:54. > :11:59.Critchley blanked out the payee details and tried to pay it into

:11:59. > :12:03.her account instead. The bank raised the alarm and she was

:12:03. > :12:06.arrested. We heard today that when she committed that offence in 2009,

:12:06. > :12:08.she was already on police bail for stealing �8,000 from the East

:12:08. > :12:17.Titchfield Neighbourhood Management Team - a community group where she

:12:17. > :12:20.volunteered. Her defence solicitor urged for a lenient sentence,

:12:20. > :12:27.saying Critchley was three months pregnant and suffering depression

:12:27. > :12:30.and mental health problems. But the judge told her that the offences

:12:30. > :12:40.were so grave she had to go to prison. She was sentenced to 12

:12:40. > :12:49.months behind bars. The Gedling MP Vernon Coaker has

:12:49. > :12:52.today officially opened a new flood defence scheme on the River Trent.

:12:52. > :12:54.The scheme at Burton Joyce is designed to protect some 300

:12:54. > :12:56.properties in the village. Construction has cost almost

:12:56. > :13:06.�500,000. Experts say the new defences reduce the risk of

:13:06. > :13:12.

:13:12. > :13:16.flooding to just a 1% chance in any year.

:13:16. > :13:22.Today, steam train started running again and took Matlock from the

:13:22. > :13:25.north. The old track used to provide an express service between

:13:25. > :13:28.Manchester and London - but it closed as a result of the infamous

:13:28. > :13:32.rail cuts of the 1960s. So, 43 years on, the reopening's been a

:13:32. > :13:34.great day for steam buffs. Heading into Matlock, a steam-

:13:35. > :13:39.hauled train full of enthusiasts, with plenty more on the platform,

:13:39. > :13:43.there to witness a historic moment. The peak rail line - since the

:13:43. > :13:46.1960s - ended here. But today, exactly 43 years to the day since

:13:46. > :13:56.steam trains - indeed ANY trains - approached Matlock from the north,

:13:56. > :13:59.

:13:59. > :14:02.the first arrived from that direction since 1968. We have been

:14:02. > :14:11.struggling for six years to get all the negotiations ready but we made

:14:11. > :14:14.it. We are here now, so it is wonderful. It's taken well over a

:14:14. > :14:17.decade to build the connection from the old Riverside station just

:14:17. > :14:19.north of Matlock. Finally, in April, the last connections were put in

:14:19. > :14:29.place, meaning the rails were at last open again into Matlock

:14:29. > :14:31.

:14:31. > :14:34.station itslef. Passengers can now arrive from Derby on National Rail,

:14:34. > :14:37.cross the bridge, and travel north with Peak Rail. Shareholders and

:14:37. > :14:41.enthusiasts who've backed Peak Rail were on the first train back north.

:14:41. > :14:45.Absolutely delighted. It has been a long time coming. We are remaking

:14:45. > :14:52.history. We have to make sure we look after these things and pass

:14:52. > :15:02.them on. Peak Rail's next ambition is continue the tracks northward

:15:02. > :15:03.

:15:03. > :15:05.from Rowsley South station. We want to push on to Bakewell. There'll be

:15:06. > :15:08.a public steam-rail festival from Matlock for the next three days.

:15:08. > :15:18.But Jackie Statham's just happy that ALL passengers can - once

:15:18. > :15:18.

:15:18. > :15:23.again - enjoy trips from a proper station.

:15:23. > :15:29.This year's big summer clean got under way in Nottingham today. It

:15:29. > :15:32.is about making the city a better place to live in and visit. They

:15:32. > :15:36.have a helper in this dog. She hates to see rubbish on the street

:15:36. > :15:41.and picks it up so there owner can put it in the bin. The clean-up

:15:41. > :15:45.runs until the end of August. We have got this dog who is not an

:15:45. > :15:52.employee of the council, but likes to pick up bits of rubbish to get

:15:52. > :15:58.them put away. If she can do it, the rest of us can, as well.

:15:58. > :16:02.Everyone should have one like that! Are Work to build a new Highways

:16:02. > :16:05.depot near Newark has been held up, and it's for a very unusual reason.

:16:05. > :16:09.A bird weighing in at around 25 grammes has stopped a digger

:16:09. > :16:14.weighing 17 tonnes in its tracks. Jim Harris has more.

:16:14. > :16:17.Work ground to a halt here at the new Highway depot at Bilsthorpe. It

:16:17. > :16:27.wasn't machine failure, or even a strike. It was a small pied wagtail

:16:27. > :16:29.

:16:29. > :16:32.measuring about 4 inches long that stopped this digger. At the end of

:16:32. > :16:37.last week, the machine was digging away and the birds kept following

:16:37. > :16:43.the machine and browned. They were underneath and we could see the

:16:43. > :16:48.nest, so we brought the machine back. The this is where the bird is

:16:48. > :16:53.nesting. There is no way we can get a camera in there, so we are going

:16:53. > :17:00.to use my smartphone. Project is on the lights and I am using my phone

:17:00. > :17:02.as a camera. -- Roger. The results weren't great - that's the nest

:17:02. > :17:06.next to the suspension. The bird's obviously wiser than I thought,

:17:06. > :17:09.though. While we were busy under her home, she'd moved to a place of

:17:09. > :17:13.safety and was keeping a motherly eye on us. The management are

:17:13. > :17:20.fairly unruffled about their visitor. The driver's busy on

:17:20. > :17:26.another vehicle and hopefully the project will still be on time.

:17:26. > :17:30.has been there eight days so far. The gestation time for the eggs is

:17:30. > :17:34.10 to 13 days and from then, there is another 13 days before the

:17:34. > :17:37.fledglings are ready to leave the nest. We are looking at 15 days

:17:37. > :17:47.before she is gone. So for now, that JCB stays put till nature's

:17:47. > :17:56.

:17:56. > :18:02.Still to come - becoming clean- shaven for the first time in over

:18:02. > :18:08.30 years. Quite a revelation for him, as well as his wife and kids.

:18:08. > :18:12.What if she doesn't like it?! Time for sport and news of some

:18:12. > :18:17.tennis success. It is and often we start with tennis but because of

:18:17. > :18:20.the success of Britain's newest rising star, he was a trained in

:18:20. > :18:24.Nottingham. We met Adrien Brody after his

:18:24. > :18:31.quarter-final yesterday and today, he made it into the final with a

:18:31. > :18:35.storming win over Jason Kubler. He won the match in straight sets. He

:18:35. > :18:40.goes to the final with the chance of being the first British boy's

:18:40. > :18:45.champion since 1962. No pressure, then! I don't feel any because I

:18:45. > :18:51.wasn't expected to make it this far anyway. I have already done quite

:18:51. > :18:54.well, so I don't know what to say. He later captain and wing with

:18:54. > :19:04.victory in the doubles quarter- finals, too, so he has got a busy

:19:04. > :19:05.

:19:05. > :19:08.weekend ahead. Nottingham Forest have confirmed the return of former

:19:08. > :19:11.star and Republic of Ireland midfielder Andy Reid. Reid was last

:19:11. > :19:14.seen in a Forest shirt in early 2005 before leaving on a five

:19:14. > :19:17.million pound deal to play for Tottenham. He's also had stints at

:19:17. > :19:20.Charlton, Sunderland and Blackpool. He's back on a two year deal and is

:19:20. > :19:23.new manager Steve McClaren's first signing. And confirmation that Paul

:19:23. > :19:25.McKenna is leaving the City Ground. His deal with Hull was completed

:19:25. > :19:27.today. Leicester City look to be close to

:19:27. > :19:30.another big-money signing. Peterborough say they've accepted a

:19:30. > :19:33.three million pound bid from the Foxes for Craig Mackail-Smith. The

:19:33. > :19:35.striker wasn't with the Leicester squad today - as they returned for

:19:35. > :19:38.pre season training. Ross Fletcher was there.

:19:38. > :19:42.It feels like they've barely been away - and now they're back and

:19:42. > :19:45.getting ready for another promotion campaign. Yes, the football pre

:19:45. > :19:55.season is officially here - even though there's still plenty of

:19:55. > :19:56.

:19:56. > :19:59.cricket to be played. While Kaspar Schmeichel is being

:19:59. > :20:06.put through his paces, the rest of the squad are doing the dreaded

:20:06. > :20:11.bleep test. It is good to have the data on them, and see if someone

:20:11. > :20:16.needs to work harder. It is the worst day in the calendar for me. I

:20:16. > :20:21.was on a beach yesterday and today I was doing the big test, so it was

:20:21. > :20:24.a shock to the system. There was also a first glimpse of

:20:24. > :20:28.new signings Lee Peltier and Neil Danns as they mixed it with the

:20:28. > :20:38.rest of the squad. Sven says he wants another 2 or 3 signings to

:20:38. > :20:41.improve on last season, when a playoff place slipped away. There

:20:41. > :20:46.were 10 or 15 games that you could pick something about we could have

:20:46. > :20:51.done better. I am sure the manager and the staff have looked at it

:20:51. > :20:59.over the summer, and we will be looking at that in the pre-season.

:20:59. > :21:07.But before the big kick-off, and plenty of hard running!

:21:07. > :21:14.Also back in training were Derby County. They have an Newquay Perth.

:21:14. > :21:24.-- a new goalkeeper. What other then macro cricket

:21:24. > :21:28.

:21:28. > :21:31.against today. The details are on the screen. -- lots of T20 games.

:21:31. > :21:35.Bit of rugby news - Leicester Tigers Scrum Half Ben Youngs WILL

:21:35. > :21:38.be fit for the World Cup later this year - even though he's been

:21:38. > :21:41.through knee surgery. The keyhole operation was to trim cartilege but

:21:41. > :21:44.his recovery has already gone well - and England expect to have him

:21:44. > :21:50.available for their second world cup warm up game which is against

:21:50. > :21:53.Wales in August. A year ago this week, England got

:21:53. > :21:55.knocked out of the World Cup in South Africa. But at least some

:21:55. > :21:57.English footballers made an impression. A local charity went

:21:58. > :22:00.into the townships delivering coaching sessions and handing out

:22:00. > :22:05.footballs and rugby balls. Now they've brought their skills to the

:22:05. > :22:10.inner city here. Mark Shardlow reports. For the teenagers of this

:22:10. > :22:16.college, a trip to Cape Town was life-changing. They coached 30,000

:22:16. > :22:22.kids and gave out thousands of but balls. But their work also goes on

:22:22. > :22:29.back here. Someone yesterday said they wanted to be like Jesse J.

:22:29. > :22:36.What do you think she has had to do to get into that position? Does

:22:36. > :22:41.anybody have a clue what intuition means? Sport and popular culture

:22:41. > :22:45.are key in their lessons. Last week, a week focused on inspiration and

:22:45. > :22:50.this week we are focusing on aspirations. From Beckham to

:22:50. > :22:57.Muhammad Ali, the pupils are asked about their aspirations. My mum

:22:57. > :23:02.because she always looks after me. Wayne Rooney. He scored the best

:23:02. > :23:10.goal against Barcelona. My grandma, because she has always been there

:23:11. > :23:15.for me and my mom and she is a great grandma. Then it is outside

:23:15. > :23:22.took tiller their new footballs. is a chance to deliver themselves

:23:22. > :23:25.out of comfort zones. They also growing self-confidence during the

:23:25. > :23:30.public speaking, teaching the youngsters about different cultures

:23:30. > :23:34.and integration, and re-enacting the township coaching sessions in

:23:34. > :23:38.the playground. Just to see them happy, are learning a skill from me

:23:38. > :23:42.makes me feel like I am a role model. The session ends with a

:23:42. > :23:47.return to the topic of the day. Does anybody believe they behave so

:23:47. > :23:51.well that somebody would aspire to behave like them? My little brother

:23:51. > :23:55.because I show good manners and I help around the house. The students

:23:55. > :24:01.really believe sport can change lives. They believe they have seen

:24:01. > :24:06.it in the townships of South Africa and the inner city of Nottingham.

:24:06. > :24:16.Good to have role models. Another one on the way in the form of Liam

:24:16. > :24:18.

:24:18. > :24:28.Broady. He has done really well. Now, there are some people who you

:24:28. > :24:40.

:24:40. > :24:44.can't imagine without a beard - 1977, the height of Saturday Night

:24:44. > :24:50.Fever and the last time Rob had a clean-shaven. He started growing

:24:50. > :24:54.his beard at 15 and 34 years later has decided to shave it off. His

:24:54. > :24:58.granddaughter is the reason why. He is raising money for the neonatal

:24:58. > :25:03.unit at a hospital where she was born. But the beers has become

:25:03. > :25:07.legendary. I left school with a reasonable beards. I came to work

:25:07. > :25:12.here and it has been there ever since. Some people just ask for the

:25:12. > :25:18.man with the beard when they bring up. That will be a bit daunting!

:25:18. > :25:24.Have you ever seen him without a beard? No, never. How are you

:25:24. > :25:29.feeling? We have been married 26 years. I am very nervous for him

:25:29. > :25:32.and excited, too. While he gets ready for the shade at a car

:25:32. > :25:37.showroom where he works, here is what was going on the last time he

:25:37. > :25:42.was clean-shaven. But Queen celebrated her Silver Jubilee and

:25:42. > :25:46.Virginia Wade won the ladies' title at Wimbledon. We said hello to

:25:46. > :25:52.Johnny Rotten and that the punk movement, and said goodbye to some

:25:52. > :25:58.old favourites, too. The transformation is complete, so what

:25:58. > :26:05.does everyone think? Aids takes years off him. It looks really

:26:05. > :26:10.strange. -- it takes years of him up. But a robber might have to wait

:26:10. > :26:16.a view years to find out what his granddaughter things!

:26:16. > :26:24.-- Robert might have to wait a few years.

:26:24. > :26:30.Could you imagine me with a beard? No, I can't. I used to have one.

:26:30. > :26:33.That was me in 1989. That was the last time I had a beard. The great

:26:33. > :26:41.thing about beards is that you can always remember the previous day's

:26:41. > :26:51.breakfast! If you go to nightclubs with ultraviolet light, you can see

:26:51. > :26:53.

:26:53. > :26:58.Now, the weather. Good news for anyone taking part in the relay

:26:58. > :27:07.events this weekend. Settled conditions across the weekend. Two

:27:07. > :27:12.events are happening in the East Midlands. There are high pollen
