:01:30. > :01:33.assaults, he regards these attacks as very, very serious. They both

:10:00. > :10:03.Leicestershire County Council had in mind for the future of our
:10:03. > :10:08.rubbish. But three years after planning began, the Government
:10:08. > :10:14.withdrew its funding, and the scheme is now in the rubbish bin as
:10:14. > :10:24.well. Except this is costly waste. Around �1.5 million has been spent
:10:24. > :10:24.
:10:24. > :10:28.on the plans, and that does not include the cost of buying the land
:10:28. > :10:33.near Coalville. It is very disappointing. We have private
:10:33. > :10:37.finance in place, we were ready to go. It can now no longer happen.
:10:37. > :10:41.But Leicestershire's waste will certainly be looked after. This was
:10:41. > :10:45.going to be the site. It would have dealt with thousands of tons of
:10:45. > :10:49.rubbish every year. But while the plans have gone away, and locals
:10:49. > :10:55.are delighted, we have still got the problem of what to do with our
:10:55. > :10:58.rubbish. We are delighted to win this battle, but what we have to do
:10:58. > :11:03.about the rubbish, we have to start at the top, we have to stop buying
:11:03. > :11:08.things. We have to cut out the carrier bags, we have to we used
:11:08. > :11:14.before we recycle. That's right. We have got to save the resources we
:11:14. > :11:21.have. -- we have got to re- use. The first thing is education and
:11:21. > :11:29.packaging and paper recycling. There's loads of alternatives to
:11:29. > :11:33.this - re-using, recycling, composting. If you look at
:11:33. > :11:40.recycling rates in Germany, they are vastly more than here. We have
:11:40. > :11:48.got to up our game. As a nation which relies on landfill, will all
:11:48. > :11:54.of this be enough? Just as the school holidays are
:11:54. > :11:59.starting, a museum in Derbyshire has temporarily closed because of a
:11:59. > :12:02.flood. Water pipes have burst at the Museum of Childhood. The main

:12:06. > :12:11.It is hoped people will be able to visit again from Monday, after the
:12:11. > :12:15.water has been mopped up. The Derby train maker Bombardier
:12:15. > :12:22.has reacted with scepticism to a hint from Pinter about new
:12:22. > :12:25.government contracts to avoid huge redundancies. David Cameron said
:12:25. > :12:29.work for the London Underground could be brought forward to avoid
:12:29. > :12:35.Bombardier having to mothball its Derby works or indeed pulling out
:12:35. > :12:41.of the UK altogether. We have been following the latest developments -
:12:41. > :12:45.why is the company apparently unconvinced by this? First of all,
:12:45. > :12:48.Bombardier a wrapping up a contract to build 47 carriages for the
:12:48. > :12:52.Victoria line at the moment. The Prime Minister is hinting at
:12:52. > :12:56.bringing forward contract which will in the pipeline, for example,
:12:56. > :13:00.upgrading existing carriages on the rest of the London Underground. And
:13:00. > :13:08.perhaps there is also promise of bringing forward work for CrossRail,
:13:08. > :13:15.also in London. But when I spoke to Bombardier's boss this afternoon,
:13:15. > :13:22.he said his main priority was the Thameslink contract which so
:13:22. > :13:26.controversially went to Siemens. For us, the main thing is that
:13:26. > :13:32.Thameslink is still not a done deal. It is still at a preferred bidder
:13:32. > :13:36.stage. We are a reserved bidder, and we are very hopeful that in the
:13:36. > :13:39.negotiations which take place, there could be issues where we get
:13:39. > :13:45.called upon, and we will be very willing and able to step up to the
:13:45. > :13:49.mark. More political fall-out tonight on this Thameslink
:13:49. > :13:53.contract? The Government has admitted that the Transport
:13:53. > :13:56.Secretary, Philip Hammond, was not told the name of the two main
:13:56. > :14:01.bidders for the Thameslink contract before he made the decision. The
:14:01. > :14:04.Labour Party have seized on this, because Labour's spokesman John
:14:04. > :14:09.Denham has said this evening it beggars belief that the Transport
:14:09. > :14:12.Secretary was not told by his own officials that the contract for
:14:12. > :14:17.this �1.4 billion deal was going to Germany, rather than staying at
:14:17. > :14:24.Bombardier in the UK. Very quickly, what is happening for the
:14:24. > :14:27.Bombardier workers? They are being offered the possibility of working
:14:27. > :14:33.for Jaguar Land Rover, who are about to take on 1,000 skilled
:14:34. > :14:38.engineers. So that gives them the prospect of working an hour down
:14:38. > :14:42.the road in Solihull. The Chernobyl nuclear disaster
:14:42. > :14:47.happened 25 years ago, but still, the people living nearby are
:14:47. > :14:51.suffering from the effects of radiation. Each year, a group of
:14:51. > :14:54.children come to the East Midlands for one month, a trip which is
:14:54. > :15:00.thought to vastly increase their life expectancy. They have
:15:00. > :15:03.important health checks which they do not get back home. This report
:15:03. > :15:07.from Sarah Teale. This is the second year this Nottingham mother
:15:07. > :15:13.has been a host for children affected by the Chernobyl nuclear
:15:13. > :15:18.disaster. She has opened her home to 11-year-old girls from the
:15:18. > :15:22.Ukraine and from Belarus. When they first come, they're
:15:22. > :15:28.really shy and timid, they seem listless and lifeless, in a way.
:15:28. > :15:33.But after four weeks, they seem to be thriving. Chernobyl was the
:15:33. > :15:38.world's worst nuclear disaster at. It was 25 years ago now, but the
:15:38. > :15:42.people there are still affected by the radioactive exposure. So, part
:15:42. > :15:52.of this stay in England includes health checks, and today, it is the
:15:52. > :15:57.dentist. It all started when a patient of
:15:57. > :16:01.mine was looking after one of the children, and asked me to see them
:16:01. > :16:06.because they had a discoloured tooth. And it has snowballed since
:16:06. > :16:13.then. We have been seeing them for more than 10 years now. My wife and
:16:13. > :16:18.I have hosted since 2001. We are still in touch with our first
:16:18. > :16:24.children that came over, who are now both at university. It is
:16:24. > :16:27.incredible to have that link. host families are always needed,
:16:27. > :16:34.and there's an astonishing statistic to prove just how vital
:16:34. > :16:38.the trips are. Every four weeks spent in this country is believed
:16:39. > :16:44.to add two years to the life expectancy of the visiting child.

:17:26. > :17:32.the solar capital of Britain. Anthony Bartram reports from the
:17:32. > :17:34.latest solar farm to go live. Carefully planted, row after row,
:17:34. > :17:39.these once-green fields of Nottinghshire are harvesting power
:17:39. > :17:47.from the sun. The scale can only be appreciated from above. You could
:17:47. > :17:53.fit 20 football pitches in here, and they want to get almost five
:17:53. > :17:57.megawatts of power out. Roger Pykett's family has farmed this
:17:57. > :18:03.land for four generations. He has seen it transformed in just a few
:18:03. > :18:10.weeks. It is awesome to transform it from horses and arable into a
:18:10. > :18:14.power station within six weeks. Hawton is almost -- is one of
:18:14. > :18:18.almost a dozen solar farms built across the region since February,
:18:18. > :18:21.each one bigger than the last. Why the rush? Companies are trying to
:18:21. > :18:27.beat a deadline at the end of this month which will drastically cut
:18:27. > :18:31.the amount of money sites like this can earn by feeding power into the
:18:31. > :18:34.national grid. Where wind farms have often triggered objections,
:18:34. > :18:41.the planning application for this went through in a month, with
:18:41. > :18:50.strong local support. As far as I can see, it is a kind of low impact,
:18:50. > :18:57.high yield thing, really. There is a proposal that they are going to
:18:57. > :19:03.build another 5,000 houses around here. So it will help those. Five
:19:03. > :19:11.megawatts is enough for 1,300 homes. The Government says there will be

:19:45. > :19:50.McClaren, who signed him at Middlesbrough. Hasselbaink was a

:21:42. > :21:48.bag in winter as well. But the huge dedication has brought even greater
:21:48. > :21:53.rewards. Molly smashed her personal best at the recent national
