:00:23. > :00:32.trying to do as much with her kids as she could. That is why I feel

:01:17. > :01:20.Nottingham after going to a party. Police are still hunting her killer.
:01:20. > :01:24.The mother of two was found dead beside a house of miles from where
:01:24. > :01:28.she lived but tonight detectives have revealed a fresh sighting of
:01:28. > :01:34.her much closer to where her body was found. Today a close family
:01:35. > :01:38.friend has spoken to his Midlands today. For more, Let's join our
:01:38. > :01:45.reporter who is at Saint Ann's police station in Nottingham now.
:01:45. > :01:49.So a new sighting reported? Yes, and more information on that in a
:01:49. > :01:53.minute but first, this is where the murder investigation team is based
:01:53. > :01:57.and officers from here are working around the clock but tonight there
:01:57. > :02:02.is a family in morning and two young children who do not have a
:02:02. > :02:08.mother, and there are still more questions than answers. Who killed
:02:08. > :02:13.Caroline and why? Caroline Coyne, 28, a mother of two.
:02:13. > :02:20.She used to be a carer for people with learning difficulties. Today
:02:20. > :02:26.her partner's best friend spoke on behalf of the family. There are
:02:26. > :02:28.friends and family dropping by at various times to show support. If
:02:28. > :02:33.anyone out there does there anything that could help this

:02:36. > :02:43.consider ridiculous, please go -- just get in touch with Nottingham
:02:43. > :02:50.police. Caroline was seen in are not town-centre on Saturday morning
:02:50. > :02:55.best 12:30PM, after she had left a family party. The last time she was
:02:55. > :03:00.seen alive was on the early hours of Saturday on this street. Hours
:03:00. > :03:04.later, at a 45 am, her body was discovered four miles from her home
:03:04. > :03:11.in Top Valley. The man who found her body on the path of his home
:03:11. > :03:21.did not want to be identified. appeared to be a young girl.
:03:21. > :03:23.
:03:23. > :03:28.Sleeping. So I said hello, are you all right? Then looking at her, it
:03:28. > :03:32.wasn't right. Neighbours on the road where Caroline was found are
:03:32. > :03:39.stunned. We got up and saw the police around the place and we have
:03:39. > :03:43.never really had anything like this happen before. He is a family area.
:03:43. > :03:50.Everyone is really friendly. We talk to each other in the street.
:03:50. > :03:59.You feel safe. It was a real shock. Just as though she was asleep in
:03:59. > :04:08.bed, in a foetal position. And her hair was over her face. Caroline
:04:08. > :04:12.leaves behind two sons, 17 and the other just five months. -- one was
:04:12. > :04:18.seven and the other five months. She loved having friends and family

:04:24. > :04:31.could. I feel very sorry for them. -- do as much with her kids as she
:04:31. > :04:35.could. What are the police St tonight?
:04:35. > :04:38.They are trying to build up a picture of her last movements but
:04:38. > :04:43.at the moment they still do not know where she was or who she was
:04:43. > :04:52.with. Nottinghamshire Police are urging anyone who may have any
:04:52. > :04:57.information to contact them. It is this number.
:04:57. > :05:03.Next, the German firm Siemens has criticised what it calls a campaign
:05:03. > :05:08.of misinformation after it beat Bombardier of Derby to the
:05:08. > :05:12.lucrative rail contract. There was a huge protest rally in Derby at
:05:12. > :05:16.the weekend in support of 1,400 Bombardier workers who now face
:05:16. > :05:23.redundancy. Here is our political editor.
:05:23. > :05:26.After the rally comes the reckoning. 6,500 voices may have shouted for a
:05:26. > :05:31.Government you turn to give Bombardier the Thames Link contract
:05:31. > :05:35.but today, with one voice, Siemens responded. There have been a lot of
:05:35. > :05:39.misquotes and misinformation in the press. I understand why, because
:05:39. > :05:46.there was a campaign on going, but some of those things, the record
:05:46. > :05:52.needs to be put straight. That in a glutes -- that includes
:05:52. > :05:57.claims that the drains have yet to be tested properly and are not up
:05:57. > :06:01.to scratch. We have invested millions in the sea route city
:06:01. > :06:07.train, the train that will only be used in the UK market, they begin
:06:07. > :06:10.this month. Among the rally, local Conservative MPs. They will press
:06:10. > :06:15.their Government to speed through other rail contracts in the
:06:15. > :06:17.pipeline to give Bombardier a chance. We continue to work even
:06:17. > :06:21.the parliament is in recess, so the work that we are doing in
:06:21. > :06:25.requesting that the Treasury and perhaps the business department
:06:25. > :06:31.look at releasing funds early to bring forward some contracts that
:06:31. > :06:39.are perhaps already in the pipeline for Bombardier. The Government
:06:39. > :06:42.says... Lord Andrew Adonis, the last Transport Secretary, in the
:06:42. > :06:46.Labour Government, told me that if the commission was so unhappy about
:06:46. > :06:52.the contract, they were well within their legal rights to scrap it and
:06:52. > :06:57.start we tendering process all over again. Do I do think it will change
:06:57. > :07:00.their mind? It was a public tendering process. Everybody knew
:07:00. > :07:05.what the evaluation criteria was and they selected the best value
:07:05. > :07:10.for money. But best but you for money for these protesters is not
:07:10. > :07:16.the total picture. They want the Government to take into account the
:07:16. > :07:22.contract going to Germany not least for the Bombardier train makers but
:07:22. > :07:28.also for the economy. Still to come: A hive of live. Why
:07:28. > :07:35.people around the world think these webcam pictures are the bee's knees.
:07:35. > :07:39.And is it time to make a bee line for sunnier climes? Later in the
:07:39. > :07:47.programme I will have your cloudy but generally dry forecast for the
:07:47. > :07:52.week. Doctors say a baby in
:07:52. > :07:57.Nottinghamshire with a rare genetic disorder tenses her muscles so much
:07:57. > :08:02.it is like running a marathon every day. Maralise Fan Vake from Bingham
:08:02. > :08:06.has a condition which affects her movements. Her family say
:08:07. > :08:12.hydrotherapy is one treatment which can make her life easier. We have
:08:12. > :08:18.been to meet them. Maralise enjoys the sights and
:08:18. > :08:24.sounds of round her but her life is different. She has a genetic
:08:24. > :08:28.condition. Only five children are currently known to have the
:08:28. > :08:33.condition in the UK. It affects her brain and means she cannot crawl
:08:33. > :08:38.all move properly. She battles in virtually every aspect of life. The
:08:38. > :08:43.condition manifests itself in very tight muscles. She has poor
:08:43. > :08:47.mobility. She can take a little bit of food orally but she is fed
:08:47. > :08:52.through a tube into her stomach. Children with the condition may
:08:53. > :08:56.only live to have found five years. It is estimated the chance of Becky
:08:56. > :09:03.and her South African husband meeting and having a baby both with
:09:03. > :09:07.the faulty gene is very rare. Hydrotherapy releases the baby's
:09:07. > :09:11.muscles. The family are planning to convert the garage and install a
:09:12. > :09:20.hot tub. Following our coverage, a Nottingham company has offered to
:09:20. > :09:25.donate a hydrotherapy swimming pool to the family. The family are
:09:25. > :09:29.giving their daughter the best live they possibly can. She has changed
:09:29. > :09:33.my life so much for the better and in a way she has been a gift to
:09:33. > :09:38.make me appreciate what I have and the small things in life, such as
:09:38. > :09:41.being able to eat and stand, we will take them for granted. When a
:09:41. > :09:47.child with special needs comes along it makes you re-evaluate what
:09:47. > :09:55.is important in life, and she Turton it has done that -- see
:09:55. > :09:58.certainly has done that. With this there is the family's
:09:58. > :10:02.consultant from Nottingham City Council. -- Nottingham City
:10:02. > :10:06.Hospital. The family have not ruled out the possibility of trying for
:10:06. > :10:12.another child but how difficult is that when you carry this faulty
:10:12. > :10:16.gene? There is a significant risk, one in four, of having another
:10:16. > :10:20.affected child. In this case we have identified the exact gene
:10:20. > :10:25.fault and we will be able to offer the couple a Test in pregnancy and
:10:25. > :10:30.if they have a positive test they can decide whether or not to
:10:30. > :10:34.continue but the pregnancy. There is another technique known as pre-
:10:34. > :10:38.implantation genetic diagnosis, which is an IVF technique and you
:10:38. > :10:44.fertilise some eggs from the mother outside the body, test the
:10:44. > :10:50.resultant embryos and only use... So there are things that can be
:10:50. > :10:55.done? Yes. This is a rare condition. Was it difficult to diagnose?
:10:55. > :10:59.did actually come across two other children with the same condition in
:10:59. > :11:04.the few months before we saw Maralise so when we had a look at
:11:04. > :11:08.her scans, my colleagues and I were quite confident with the diagnosis,
:11:08. > :11:17.based on the similarities. Thank you.
:11:17. > :11:20.In other news, the Derby-based bank, Egg, has been broken up and sold.

:13:06. > :13:10.shame it has come to an end. It gave me such a good opportunity to
:13:10. > :13:16.get into a job. I had been unemployed for a while and it gave
:13:16. > :13:21.me an opportunity to get my foot on the ladder. The fund has received
:13:21. > :13:28.for pud �5 million in Government funding and the council added �2

:13:36. > :13:41.council is now looking at setting up a replacement for the Future
:13:41. > :13:46.Jobs Fund, but there is no pledge on cash just yet. If it is such a
:13:46. > :13:50.priority, why are you not making it a cash priority? It is clearly a
:13:50. > :13:55.priority for the council but we have to look at the spending on
:13:55. > :14:00.this in relation to other priorities. Graduate Jasmin Popat
:14:00. > :14:04.is another young person helped by the Future Jobs Fund. She believes
:14:04. > :14:10.it is vital for something to carry on. It has governor a lot of

:14:14. > :14:18.Without it, unemployment will rise. The council hopes to have some

:14:28. > :14:32.apprenticeships. In other news... Nottingham's two
:14:32. > :14:34.maternity units were shut to new admissions of at the same time on
:14:34. > :14:37.five occasions last year. The closures meant women had to travel

:15:27. > :15:33.Next, a lorry firm from Nottinghamshire has found a way to

:16:06. > :16:10.It looks and drives like a diesel engine but there are three
:16:10. > :16:15.complicated parts we fit to the engine to make it operate as a low
:16:16. > :16:19.carbon vehicle. Trevor Fletcher, the managing director of Hardstaff

:16:34. > :16:39.That feeds natural gas into the engine as well as diesel. From
:16:39. > :16:43.whatever source, the gas is carried on the lorry in these tanks. Mixing
:16:43. > :16:51.gas and diesel, Hardstaff believes, can save haulage firms considerable
:16:51. > :16:59.sums. Based on an average mileage, we are talking about possibly
:16:59. > :17:04.saving �12,500 per trip per annum. Huge savings for any haulier.

:18:15. > :18:18.Yes. Rebecca Adlington is shaping up nicely for the 2012 Olympic
:18:18. > :18:21.Games. The Mansfield swimmer has claimed a silver medal at the World

:18:58. > :19:02.field to claim the silver. -- burst past. Unfortunately, my time was
:19:02. > :19:08.not there but I try to get in the race as much as a good and to come
:19:08. > :19:15.away with a silver medal in an event that is not my best ament --
:19:15. > :19:20.event, amazing. I am so pleased. Her favoured race, the 800m, is
:19:20. > :19:25.still to come in Shanghai. Then it is back to the training swimming
:19:25. > :19:31.pool and a hard graft ahead of London 2012, when she might just be
:19:31. > :19:34.celebrating again. We will follow it all the way. A
:19:34. > :19:38.week ago, Stuart Broad was fighting for his place in the England Test
:19:38. > :19:41.team. This evening, he is the hero, after taking the final wicket at
:19:41. > :19:44.Lord's to help England win the first Test against India. This was
:19:44. > :19:48.it, be Ishant Sharma LBW. It was the Nottinghamshire bowler's third
:19:48. > :19:53.wicket of the innings and his seventh of the match. The second
:19:53. > :19:55.Test is at Trent Bridge and it starts this Friday.
:19:55. > :19:58.Leicestershire's James Taylor has been named captain of England's
:19:58. > :20:02.second team, the Lions, for their series with Sri Lanka A. The 21
:20:02. > :20:05.year-old is skipper for the first time. He has joined in the squad by
:20:05. > :20:11.Nottinghamshire's Samit Patel and Alex Hales, who is getting his
:20:11. > :20:14.first national call-up. It may be the home of Torvill and
:20:14. > :20:17.Dean but parents of young ice dancers in Nottingham say they feel
:20:17. > :20:20.they are being driven away by cuts to their coaching. Exclusive time
:20:20. > :20:28.for dancers to have the ice to themselves is going and they will
:20:28. > :20:33.no longer be a formal part of the academy at the National Ice Centre.
:20:33. > :20:38.Figure skaters were practising their moves today on one of the
:20:38. > :20:42.Nottingham's ice rinks, while those stating for fund showed slightly
:20:42. > :20:48.less grace. But there is not the time all the money to give them
:20:48. > :20:53.what they want. We literally do not have enough ice time. With only ten
:20:53. > :20:59.at solo skaters, you have to look at the practice. For me they are to
:20:59. > :21:03.ensure every skater has an opportunity. We are not taking away
:21:03. > :21:08.ice dance but there are other pressures. Earlier coaching changes
:21:08. > :21:13.had already seen this couple, Britain's best, head for the US.
:21:13. > :21:19.Now a younger skaters feel they have to go, too. I do not think
:21:19. > :21:26.they have had any desire to keep ice dancing. They have used money
:21:27. > :21:33.as an excuse. The shadow of Torvill and Dean blooms belong here. For
:21:33. > :21:36.many people, Nottingham is the home of -- home of ice dance. But as a
:21:36. > :21:42.discipline, it has to compete with everything else that goes on on the
:21:42. > :21:46.ice. The point is that Torvill and Dean did what they did before these

:22:16. > :22:21.The answer could be more eyes. definitely need a third ice-rink. I

:22:35. > :22:38.yesterday's Outlaw Triathlon. It was a 6am start for the swimming in
:22:38. > :22:41.what the organisers describe as one of the world's toughest one-day
:22:41. > :22:44.endurance events. After two and a half miles of swimming, 112 miles

:22:57. > :23:04.
:23:04. > :23:07.just before 11pm last night. That is quite something.
:23:07. > :23:11.I thought about the competitors when I was in bed on Sunday morning.
:23:11. > :23:15.I saw them when I was walking my dog!
:23:15. > :23:18.Here is an internet hit with a difference - a young boy's bees are
:23:18. > :23:21.attracting hundreds of viewers from all over the world. The mysteries
:23:21. > :23:31.of the beehive had been laid bare with the aid of some glass panels
:23:31. > :23:35.and a webcam. Bees, they play an important role,
:23:35. > :23:40.pollinating flowering plants across the world. This is nine year-old
:23:40. > :23:45.James, and he is a beekeeper. really like honey and it is one of
:23:45. > :23:50.the best ways to get it. James was showing an interest in bees. I
:23:50. > :23:56.wanted to show him what was going on in a beehive and de Gaulle
:23:56. > :24:00.debate that interest. He built an observation hive. It is made of
:24:00. > :24:05.glass and located inside the house, where the temperature can be
:24:05. > :24:11.regulated. The bees come and go through a pipe and beehive is
:24:11. > :24:16.completely sales -- and the Bee hive is completely sealed from the
:24:17. > :24:22.house. The website is getting hundreds of hits the Daily from
:24:22. > :24:27.bees enthusiasts around the world. Everyone is fascinated, even if
:24:27. > :24:31.they are not particularly interested in bees. I can look at
:24:31. > :24:36.it whenever I want and don't do not have to get dressed up. Now that
:24:36. > :24:43.James is older, he has his own beehive, and it is proving a winner.
:24:43. > :24:47.Last year, I got one budget of honey and about 40 jars. And
:24:47. > :24:54.already this year, I have got one and a bit buckets and I am hoping
:24:54. > :24:59.to get some more. You can see the live streaming of the bees at the
:24:59. > :25:09.website. They have stung me about five times but it has not put me
:25:09. > :25:10.
:25:10. > :25:20.off. Respect! Nice outfit. Bumbling

:25:22. > :25:32.through the where they have now... A more settled week then we have
:25:32. > :25:35.
:25:35. > :25:39.It is the summer holidays so why not take the children out and about
:25:40. > :25:46.across the East Midlands with a camera, because we would like to
:25:46. > :25:50.see bet whether it pictures. Send them to us. -- we would like to see
:25:50. > :25:56.their weather pictures. One or two bright intervals this morning but a
:25:56. > :26:01.lot of cloud. The cloud has stayed through the afternoon. Into the
