:00:07. > :00:09.This is East Midlands Today with Kylie Pentelow and Dominic Heale.
:00:09. > :00:19.Our top story tonight: The convicted killer released from
:00:19. > :00:20.
:00:20. > :00:25.prison who went on to stab two neighbours to death.
:00:25. > :00:30.This is self-styled angel of mercy, Andrew Dawson and these other flats
:00:30. > :00:33.where he will two innocent men. is an evil man. He planned both of
:00:33. > :00:39.these murders and planned to escape from the police.
:00:39. > :00:43.Also, the crashers caused by a blind spot on foreign lorries and
:00:43. > :00:47.the families left to grieve. We know we cannot bring my father
:00:47. > :00:51.back. But what we would like to highlight is the prevention of
:00:51. > :00:55.other families having to go through what we have suffered.
:00:55. > :00:59.These massive turbines will be fully operational and the first
:00:59. > :01:05.commercial wind farm in Leicestershire.
:01:05. > :01:10.Fine out why this question, "do you want salt and vinegar on that".
:01:10. > :01:15.Might be a thing of the past. Good Evening, welcome to Monday's
:01:15. > :01:18.programme. First tonight, the convicted murderer who was released
:01:18. > :01:24.to kill again. Andrew Dawson dubbed himself "the Angel of Mercy" after
:01:24. > :01:27.stabbing two neighbours to death. He'd moved into their block of
:01:27. > :01:30.flats in Derby just weeks before. Probation officials insist Dawson
:01:30. > :01:35.was handled correctly and there was no indication he would commit
:01:36. > :01:45.further murders. Simon Hare was at Nottingham Crown Court earlier
:01:46. > :01:46.
:01:46. > :01:49.today when Dawson was sentenced. Good evening.
:01:49. > :01:51.Andrew Dawson was today told by a judge that he'll serve the rest of
:01:51. > :01:55.his life behind bars. He'd previously been released after
:01:55. > :02:02.serving almost 30 for killing a man. Today he admitted two similar cold-
:02:02. > :02:05.blooded murders. Committed while he was out on licence from prison.
:02:05. > :02:09.This was the moment Andrew Dawson was arrested. He'd been traced to
:02:09. > :02:13.Whitehaven in Cumbria. He jumped into the harbour but was eventually
:02:13. > :02:15.pulled from the sea and a taser had to be used for him to be fully
:02:15. > :02:18.restrained. He'd been named by Derbyshire police as the prime
:02:18. > :02:21.suspect in the murder of his neighbour, 66 year old Dave
:02:21. > :02:24.Matthews. Just hours after Dawson's arrest, police discovered the body
:02:24. > :02:28.of a second man 58 year old, Paul Hancock, who'd been filmed by a
:02:28. > :02:31.shop's security camera on the day he died. Both were found in the
:02:31. > :02:35.bath at their separate flats at Waterford Drive in Chaddesden in
:02:35. > :02:39.Derby last July. They'd been repeatedly stabbed. Andrew Dawson
:02:39. > :02:42.had only moved into the same building just weeks beforehand.
:02:42. > :02:51.Today he went on trial after denying murder, but changed his
:02:51. > :02:56.pleas to guilty after hearing details of the case against him.
:02:56. > :03:00.is a very evil man. He planned both of these murders. And he had
:03:00. > :03:04.planned to escape from the police. He certainly made a lot of attempts
:03:04. > :03:06.to destroy forensic evidence. Dawson's flat police discovered a
:03:06. > :03:10.notebook which bore the impression of a letter he'd written confessing
:03:10. > :03:13.to one of the killings and signed "Yours, the Angel of Mercy". As a
:03:13. > :03:16.teenager, Dawson was given a life sentence in 1982 after admitting
:03:16. > :03:22.the murder of an elderly man in his flat at Ormskirk in Lancashire,
:03:22. > :03:24.where Dawson's originally from. He'd been released on licence from
:03:24. > :03:34.Sudbury Prison in 1999, but was subsequently recalled to Nottingham
:03:34. > :03:36.
:03:36. > :03:40.Prison three times. We always knew he was difficult. But there was
:03:40. > :03:44.nothing in all of the years to indicate the things we heard in
:03:44. > :03:46.court that he was planning to kill again. If When Dawson was arrested
:03:46. > :03:50.he was armed with seven kitchen knives. He told psychiatrists he
:03:50. > :03:53.felt driven to kill both men as he feared he was about to be recalled
:03:53. > :03:56.to jail again for assaulting a previous landlord.
:03:56. > :04:00.A final report into how Dawson was handled is due to be submitted on
:04:00. > :04:05.Wednesday. It's expected to conclude all correct procedures
:04:05. > :04:08.were followed. We heard that he later confessed to wanting to kill
:04:08. > :04:11.someone at Markeaton Park in 2007 after being arrested But for the
:04:11. > :04:20.families of Dave Matthews and Paul Hancock, several questions remain
:04:20. > :04:22.and Dawson's full life sentence has come too late.
:04:22. > :04:25.The Department for Transport today dismissed claims that it could
:04:25. > :04:31.after all reopen a multi-million pound rail contract in favour of
:04:31. > :04:33.the Derby-based train maker Bombardier. Documents leaked to a
:04:33. > :04:43.national newspaper appeared to contradict the Prime Minister's
:04:43. > :04:44.
:04:44. > :04:47.claims that his hands were tied on the issue.
:04:47. > :04:50.The Prime Minister in South Africa today on a trade mission. Absent is
:04:50. > :04:53.Colin Walton, the boss of Derby- based Bombardier. Although invited
:04:53. > :04:56.to accompany the Prime Minister, he dropped out after a call from
:04:56. > :05:02.Downing Street at the weekend. Could Bombardier's anger over
:05:02. > :05:05.losing a government rail contract be the reason? Maybe this is
:05:05. > :05:07.another reason? Department for Transport documents leaked to the
:05:07. > :05:13.Daily Mirror appear to question David Cameron's assertion that he
:05:13. > :05:16.was powerless to intervene. A clause in the original tender
:05:16. > :05:18.document that awarded the contract to build new carriages for
:05:18. > :05:21.Thameslink to Seimens rather than Bombardier, gives the government an
:05:21. > :05:24.option to reconsider the deal. think they should be looking very
:05:24. > :05:27.hard, particularly in light of the Mirror's article today. They should
:05:27. > :05:32.be look very hard at awarding it to Bombardier because it means so much
:05:32. > :05:34.to the local people. The Department for Transport, in a brief statement,
:05:34. > :05:39.said the clause allowed only minor changes to the original contract
:05:39. > :05:42.awarded to Seimens. But it's further ammunition for Derbyshire
:05:42. > :05:46.MPs when they see the Prime Minister on his return from South
:05:47. > :05:51.Africa. We need some confidence in Derby and if the Prime Minister
:05:51. > :05:55.does a U-turn, it'll be the best U- turn he's ever made. 1400 jobs are
:05:55. > :05:57.to go at Bombardier in Derby. The Thameslink contract and the very
:05:57. > :06:06.future of Britain's last-remaining train makers is now to be
:06:06. > :06:09.investigated by the influential Commons Transport Committee.
:06:09. > :06:14.You're watching East Midlands Today, later: When cyclists and
:06:14. > :06:23.pedestrians clash. We find out why the police are having to step in,
:06:23. > :06:27.in what's supposed to be a bike- free zone.
:06:27. > :06:32.The twin sister of a woman who was murdered in Australia says she had
:06:32. > :06:35.expressed concern about her safety before her death. Sally Brooks died
:06:35. > :06:42.on the day she was due to return permanently to Nottinghamshire with
:06:42. > :06:45.her three children to begin a new life.
:06:45. > :06:49.This is one of the last photos of Sally Brooks, taken in May visiting
:06:49. > :06:52.her father in Stapleford who's very ill. Sally had decided to return
:06:52. > :06:56.home so that her twin sister Alison could help bring up her three
:06:56. > :06:59.children. For two and a half years she'd struggled as a single parent
:06:59. > :07:04.and full time IT consultant having been married for ten years in
:07:04. > :07:07.Australia. On July 1st, the alarm was raised when she failed to pick
:07:07. > :07:16.up her children from school. She was found at her Melbourne home
:07:16. > :07:20.with serious head injuries and died ten days later. I thought the last
:07:20. > :07:23.of my twin sister was more than I could bear. But it was nothing
:07:23. > :07:29.compared to seeing the faces of her children when they were told by the
:07:29. > :07:33.police she had been deliberately hurt. Worse was to come when we saw
:07:33. > :07:37.the three children crying hysterically by her bedside, trying
:07:37. > :07:41.to wake her up. We know the meaning of heartbreak.
:07:41. > :07:48.The family home was already sold and 48 year old Sally was selling
:07:48. > :07:52.other household items via the internet. We're hoping to find
:07:52. > :07:56.information from anyone who might have been in sales with the victim,
:07:56. > :07:58.that might help with information as to who has done this.
:07:58. > :08:01.During a news conference Alison said her sister had expressed
:08:01. > :08:10.concerns about her safety and was asked how the childrens' father had
:08:10. > :08:12.taken the news that she was returning to England. It was
:08:13. > :08:15.eventually consented to after some difficulties.
:08:15. > :08:18.Sally was described as an exceptional mother who lived for
:08:18. > :08:22.her children. Her twin said she would forever be half instead of
:08:22. > :08:27.whole. The family of a man who was killed
:08:27. > :08:29.by a lorry driver say a special lens could have saved his life.
:08:29. > :08:34.Michael Matthews from Burbage in Leicestershire died last year in a
:08:34. > :08:38.crash on the M1. His wife was severely injured. His family say
:08:38. > :08:43.the lorry driver couldn't see their car because of a blind spot as the
:08:43. > :08:53.HGV was left-hand drive. Michael's widow spoke to our reporter, Helen
:08:53. > :08:53.
:08:53. > :09:03.Astle. We had been together since I was 18
:09:03. > :09:06.and I married when I was 19. He was just my best friend. Pat Matthews
:09:06. > :09:10.talking about her husband, Michael. Last year they were making their
:09:10. > :09:15.way home on the motorway when a left-hand drive lorry pulled into
:09:15. > :09:20.the path of their car. Michael lost his life and Pat says she has been
:09:20. > :09:23.given a life sentence for what has happened. A lorry driver, the
:09:24. > :09:28.Czechs as Backley and national spend the next six months of his
:09:28. > :09:34.life in prison after pleading guilty to causing death by driving
:09:34. > :09:39.without due care and attention. dad was sideswipe, hit on the rear
:09:39. > :09:44.bumper which spun the car around. The car spun several times and hit
:09:44. > :09:49.the Embankment and it flipped the car over and landed on the roof.
:09:49. > :09:53.The this was a left-hand drive a lorry, my steering wheel would be
:09:53. > :09:57.here and my blind-spot would be over there and that is the problem.
:09:57. > :10:04.Looking in that mirror, anyone driving along the right hands side
:10:04. > :10:11.of the lorry, cannot be seen. In 2009, 18 people were killed by
:10:11. > :10:17.foreign left hand lorries. That is one death every few weeks. The
:10:17. > :10:21.family is launching a campaign to make it legal for all left hand
:10:21. > :10:25.drive lorries to be fitted with a special lens which reduces the
:10:25. > :10:30.blind-spot. If it saved somebody else's life, then we would be very
:10:30. > :10:34.grateful. Something has got to be done. We cannot bring my father
:10:34. > :10:38.back, but what we would like to highlight is the prevention of
:10:38. > :10:43.other families having to go through what we have suffered. The family
:10:43. > :10:47.is writing to the Prime Minister to highlight their campaign. Pat is
:10:47. > :10:51.waiting for possible further surgery but says she will never
:10:51. > :10:55.recover from what has happened. More former residents of a
:10:55. > :10:58.children's home are to take legal action against two councils. 21
:10:58. > :11:03.people now claim they were victims of physical and sexual abuse by
:11:03. > :11:06.staff while they were at Beechwood Children's Home. The property on
:11:06. > :11:09.Woodborough Road in Nottingham was owned and operated by the county
:11:09. > :11:15.council up until 1998, when ownership transferred to the city
:11:15. > :11:19.council. It was closed in 2006. The Government's announced that RAF
:11:19. > :11:23.Cottesmore at Oakham is to be turned into an Army base. It was
:11:23. > :11:26.the home of the Harrier aircraft until last year. Since March it's
:11:26. > :11:30.been a satellite base to RAF Wittering near Stamford and it was
:11:30. > :11:38.due to close next year. Now the Defence Secretary says after 2015
:11:38. > :11:42.Cottesmore will house a major new army unit.
:11:42. > :11:45.Police in Derby are hoping to speak to the victim of a stabbing later.
:11:45. > :11:49.The 35 year old was attacked on Stanton Street in Normanton early
:11:49. > :11:55.on Saturday morning. Officers say it looks like he was trying to
:11:55. > :11:58.break up an argument. Police in Leicester were today
:11:58. > :12:01.targeting cyclists who ride in pedestrian areas of the city.
:12:01. > :12:11.Officers were in the New Walk area advising and encouraging cyclists
:12:11. > :12:12.
:12:12. > :12:15.to use different routes, as Paul Bradshaw reports.
:12:15. > :12:21.Can I stop you a moment? There's been a ban on cycling along
:12:21. > :12:25.New Walk for many years. And today Police were enforcing the bye-law.
:12:25. > :12:28.We are trying to let people know why we're here and to think from a
:12:28. > :12:36.different perspective. To some cyclists, the restrictions seemed
:12:36. > :12:41.unfair. I understand they have to police this so people can use it as
:12:41. > :12:47.a pedestrian area but in other places they have cycle paths. But
:12:47. > :12:50.lots of people agreed something has to be done. It is long overdue.
:12:50. > :12:55.Some come down at a reasonable speed but sometimes you have to
:12:55. > :12:59.jump out of the way. Quite a few pedestrians walk a bit so you can
:12:59. > :13:06.understand where they come from. Become down here 20 miles an hour
:13:06. > :13:10.it seems and it's obvious it is will accident waiting to happen.
:13:10. > :13:12.At the end of the day the message to cyclists was clear - on your
:13:12. > :13:14.bike! They divide communities - to some
:13:14. > :13:18.beautiful, others a blot on the landscape. But one thing looks
:13:18. > :13:21.certain - there will be more wind turbines in our region in years to
:13:21. > :13:24.come. The government wants to produce 15% of UK energy from
:13:24. > :13:30.renewable methods by 2020. At the moment it says only 3% of our
:13:30. > :13:32.energy is generated this way. Well, in the first of a new series, Simon
:13:32. > :13:42.Ward was given access to Leicestershire's first commercial
:13:42. > :13:44.
:13:44. > :13:50.wind farm. Harnessing the power of nature is
:13:50. > :13:56.not new, but a modern wind farm and turbine industry is in comparison
:13:56. > :13:58.to this old windmill. But opinions are divided on the issue - should
:13:58. > :14:02.refund them to benefit the environment? Or, are they a waste
:14:02. > :14:08.of money and a blot on the landscape. Their numbers are
:14:08. > :14:12.increasing across the East Midlands. This is the low spinning wind farm
:14:12. > :14:16.near Gilmorton, Ashby magnet and Donson batters. It is the first in
:14:16. > :14:20.the county and is due to be operational this summer. Graham
:14:20. > :14:25.Jordan lives about 2.5 miles away and is convinced about the benefits
:14:25. > :14:29.of the wind farm. I didn't find it difficult to become a supporter
:14:29. > :14:36.because the people against it made such strong claims that were
:14:36. > :14:40.clearly, they were myths and lies. Scientifically they are in
:14:40. > :14:44.experienced. I know the science, that is why I took exception to it.
:14:44. > :14:48.They put a poster outside my house and told me five miles from the
:14:48. > :14:55.site, the whole area would be devastated. That is a very strong
:14:55. > :15:00.term. The Blades are 125 metres high. The company behind the
:15:00. > :15:04.project claims it will provide electricity for 5,000 homes.
:15:04. > :15:09.Platforms block the view inside but this ladder reaches 80 metres up.
:15:10. > :15:13.An escape plan shows a technician could throw themselves out when an
:15:14. > :15:18.abseil type system in an emergency. Local environmentalists have been
:15:18. > :15:22.keeping an eye on the development of this Leicestershire wind farm.
:15:22. > :15:27.It is the way forward. Obviously they cost money to construct, but
:15:27. > :15:32.in contrast to conventional power stations and installations, the
:15:32. > :15:37.wind is free. It is inexhaustible, so it is an no-brainer.
:15:37. > :15:42.everyone agrees. Local opponents failed to stop planning permission
:15:42. > :15:46.being granted and they are still worried. You will read 12 things
:15:46. > :15:52.and six of them will say there won't be any problems. You read
:15:52. > :15:55.another six, No It's one not be fine it will be horrendous. Until
:15:55. > :15:59.it is operational, you are living with a constant uncertainty.
:15:59. > :16:03.Opponents say they are concerned about the health effects of noise
:16:03. > :16:09.and so called flicker, when light comes through the turbines at
:16:09. > :16:12.sunrise and sunset. We continue to campaign against them. At the
:16:12. > :16:17.moment we are carrying out a health survey within the community to find
:16:17. > :16:20.out how well the community is now and we were repeated in the year to
:16:20. > :16:27.find out the detrimental effect the turbines have had on the health of
:16:27. > :16:29.the community. In terms of bigger wind turbines, figures show there
:16:29. > :16:35.are 13 Bills and operating in the region. But the scene is changing,
:16:35. > :16:39.with 22 more large turbines given approval and many planning
:16:39. > :16:45.applications in the pipeline. With the benefit of real experience, how
:16:45. > :16:48.do people opposed to wind farms feel after some time? This is
:16:48. > :16:52.Nottinghamshire, it went into operation towards the end of last
:16:52. > :16:59.summer. This man and his wife can see it from their front garden and
:16:59. > :17:05.say the turbines can occasionally be heard at night. I believe at a
:17:05. > :17:10.125 metres from bottom to the top. I think myself overlooking the
:17:10. > :17:16.village, further back they would have been better. But this lady
:17:16. > :17:19.lives even closer to the turbines. I always think they can't build
:17:19. > :17:24.underneath it and it preserves the countryside in that respect. I
:17:24. > :17:31.cannot hear anything and the trees around me obscure a lot of them
:17:31. > :17:35.anyway, although I can see them from to spring's aspects. --
:17:35. > :17:39.different aspects. There is no perfect solution for energy at the
:17:39. > :17:44.moment. Fossil fuel have their problems at the moment and wind
:17:44. > :17:47.farms cannot give us everything. The battles will rage on but with
:17:48. > :17:52.more wing turbines being given approval they are increasing
:17:52. > :17:55.presence on our landscape. And tomorrow, we'll be talking to a
:17:55. > :17:59.company which has designed a new type of off-shore wind turbine
:17:59. > :18:09.system. It says it could double the amount of power generated by
:18:09. > :18:12.
:18:12. > :18:18.existing off-shore wind farms. We have a wind of a new signing at
:18:18. > :18:21.Nottingham Forest? Frustrated Forest fans can rest a
:18:21. > :18:23.little easier this evening. The club have made their second signing
:18:23. > :18:25.of the summer. It's former Manchester United, Middlesbro, West

:19:53. > :19:58.has caught up with them in Stockholm.
:19:58. > :20:02.We are in Sweden for Leicester City's ten-day tour. We have been
:20:02. > :20:06.behind the scenes with the team and been up close and personal with the
:20:06. > :20:12.owners and they say what goes on tour, stays on tour but we will
:20:12. > :20:15.have all of the secrets in Sweden and East Midlands today some --
:20:15. > :20:17.tomorrow. Meanwhile, Derby County are denying
:20:17. > :20:20.reports they've approached Leicester about signing their
:20:20. > :20:23.former skippe,r Matt Oakley. Derby start their more modest tour of the
:20:23. > :20:25.north west of England tomorrow. Now, the revival of Donington Park
:20:25. > :20:28.racing circuit continues with the first ever visit from the World
:20:28. > :20:31.Touring Car Championships over the weekend. It's fast and tight racing
:20:31. > :20:35.in cars that look almost like something you and I might drive.
:20:35. > :20:37.But we don't drive them the way these guys do. As I found out in
:20:37. > :20:41.some style from the Championship Leader.
:20:41. > :20:44.Rob Huff is that man. The only Brit in the Championship and the
:20:44. > :20:47.definite star of the weekend at Donington. With the World Touring
:20:47. > :20:56.Cars now a key part of the parkland circuits programme. But what's it
:20:56. > :21:06.really like to drive? Time to find out. It is a fantastic circuit. It
:21:06. > :21:11.is Grace -- great for the racing. It will be close this weekend.
:21:11. > :21:15.can see what you're thinking, not the Championship driver, but he
:21:15. > :21:19.said he needed help. I will take you round the circuit and we will
:21:19. > :21:24.get you fully kitted out. You can pretend you are a racing driver for
:21:24. > :21:30.the evening. Just been whipped around the course, I have a
:21:30. > :21:38.sneaking suspicion this might be scary.
:21:38. > :21:41.4th here late braking. We have a 1.6 turbo engine, slick tyres,
:21:41. > :21:51.massive brakes and a stiff suspension. You won't want to drive
:21:51. > :22:01.this down your local high street. Matt was some braking, goodness me!
:22:01. > :22:05.Hard on the brakes, third gear, second gear. That was all some. He
:22:05. > :22:08.is the only Brits in it, and I can see why.
:22:09. > :22:11.Amazing! As for the racing? Well, as dramatic as ever, with Rob Huff
:22:11. > :22:20.taking two second places to maintain his Championship lead. And
:22:20. > :22:24.highlighting the one bit of the experience I missed. It is a non-
:22:25. > :22:31.contact sport. We are touring car drivers and won't shy of using the
:22:31. > :22:37.bumpers. That is when it has entertaining. Yeah. Happy to stick
:22:37. > :22:40.to what I did. Whatever the consequences personally. Hat hair.
:22:40. > :22:43.In boxing, it was a brave effort, but Derby's Ovill McKenzie who we
:22:43. > :22:46.featured last week, missed out on the British and Commonwealth light
:22:46. > :22:50.heavyweight title. Mckenzie, from Derby, was beaten on points by Tony
:22:50. > :22:55.Bellew in Liverpool. In cricket, the dates have been
:22:55. > :22:58.announced for the Twenty20 quarter finals. Leicestershire will play
:22:58. > :23:06.Kent on Saturday 6th August. Whilst Notts take on Somerset the
:23:06. > :23:09.following day with an afternoon start. 1:45pm.
:23:09. > :23:11.And a quick mention of an event at Braunston Leisure Centre in
:23:11. > :23:14.Leicester tomorrow night. They've got both the England under 16
:23:14. > :23:19.basketball team in action and a special game involving the medal
:23:19. > :23:22.winners for the GB Special Olympic team. Well worth your support.
:23:22. > :23:25.It's the usual question they ask when they're about to wrap your
:23:25. > :23:28.fish and chips: "do you want salt and vinegar on that"? Well a
:23:28. > :23:31.Leicester chip shop owner believes he's come up with a way of adding
:23:31. > :23:35.vinegar without making your dinner soggy. Our condiments correspondent
:23:36. > :23:39.Angelina Socci's been finding out more.
:23:39. > :23:43.We all know what's it like, you buy your fish and chips, you get them
:23:43. > :23:47.home and all the vinegar has soaked through to the paper. Well fear not
:23:47. > :23:50.because this shop believes it's found a solution. Lefteris
:23:50. > :23:54.Eleftheriou has been running his fish and chip shop on Welford Road
:23:54. > :24:04.for the past 30 years. But recently decided to come up with a dry
:24:04. > :24:09.alternative to vinegar. I have a friends who works in ingredients
:24:09. > :24:13.and flavourings. I asked him about three years ago if it was possible
:24:13. > :24:18.to do salt that tastes like Vennegoor. It took him three years
:24:18. > :24:22.and we have had some samples. Eventually about a week ago he came
:24:22. > :24:25.with a sample that tastes nice. This is the ingredient and here's
:24:25. > :24:34.the science. It includes salt, sugar and dextrose and when
:24:34. > :24:39.combined is supposed to taste like salt and vinegar. I think this is
:24:39. > :24:42.the right combinations. The flavour is nice and you can taste the
:24:42. > :24:45.vinegar. The salt and vinegar is the right combination. The dry
:24:45. > :24:51.sprinkle contains one third less sodium than normal salt. But do
:24:51. > :24:56.customers approve? It is quite nice All Star had to me it tastes lovely.
:24:57. > :25:03.Better than soggy chips. You can taste the Vennegoor. Deathly taste
:25:03. > :25:05.the salt, but it is not soft. don't like a lot of vinegar.
:25:06. > :25:09.his customers seem happy, Lefteris is hoping that other places will
:25:09. > :25:12.pick up on the idea. The shop is now busy developing the packaging
:25:12. > :25:22.for the product and looking at ways to market it. Only then will they
:25:22. > :25:24.
:25:24. > :25:29.know if it's really worth its salt And vinegar!
:25:29. > :25:37.There was me thinking the height of sophistication was spray on vinegar.
:25:37. > :25:44.Makes me want some fish and chips for my tea.
:25:44. > :25:49.We thought we wouldn't see many showers in Nottingham but it has
:25:49. > :25:58.rained very heavily within the last hour. One new arrival was captured
:25:58. > :26:01.the of the day at the marina. We have a few showers with us at the
:26:01. > :26:06.moment and as you might get more prolonged period of rain during the
:26:06. > :26:10.early part of this evening. Gradually we will see the showers
:26:10. > :26:15.diminishing. There won't go away totally overnight. If you will come
:26:15. > :26:20.back in in the early hours of the morning. It has been a blustery day
:26:20. > :26:25.and the wind will ease off overnight. Minimum temperatures
:26:25. > :26:30.around 11 Celsius. Tomorrow morning, starting with a lot of cloud,
:26:30. > :26:34.brightness at times but the showers developing. The wind will be much
:26:34. > :26:38.lighter, so the showers, as they become heavier into the afternoon
:26:38. > :26:43.and if you find yourself into the afternoon, it will be there for
:26:43. > :26:50.quite a bit of time and some thunder also possible. Temperatures
:26:50. > :26:54.will be warmer. Highs tomorrow of 20 Celsius, so improving slowly.
:26:54. > :26:58.The wind direction much changed again coming from the north by the
:26:58. > :27:02.middle part of the week and then a north-easterly. We still have
:27:02. > :27:07.showers by the time we get to Wednesday. We will get to see a
:27:07. > :27:12.small amount of sunshine in between those showers. On Thursday there is
:27:12. > :27:16.a weather front, so it will be quite a showery day. The wind
:27:16. > :27:21.continues to come from the North East. It will have an impact on the
:27:21. > :27:24.temperatures. We will see them in the region of around 16 or 17
:27:24. > :27:29.Celsius through the middle part of the week. Night-time temperatures
:27:29. > :27:33.not doing too badly. The wind will also ease down a bit. Towards the
:27:33. > :27:35.weekend, although high pressure is not building in, it should ease off
