4th this is East Midlands Today. The top story. A senior policeman

appears in court on tier child-sex charges. Inspector Russell Dew is

accused of engaging in sexual activity with a child under 16.

Helping victims of domestic violence. Could these charities see

their funding cut? And up for auction, jury that sparkled on the

Antiques Roadshow. -- a brooch at And we meet Hilary Devey. The

Good evening. The top story. A senior police officer has been

remanded into custody after being charged with sexual offences

against a charge. Inspector Russell Dew had been suspended from

Nottinghamshire Police while investigations were carried out.

This is Inspector Russell Dew, aged 44, and an inspector based at

Mansfield police station. He was arrested by officers from his own

force. He is accused of having sex with a child under 16. He is also

accused of a less serious sexual offence against the same child. The

girl was 13 years old at the time of the alleged offences, which are

said to have happened last year when he was off duty. Today, during

a 45 minute hearing at Sheffield magistrates', Inspector Russell Dew

spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth. For much of the

hearing he sat with his head bowed, looking at the floor. He was

refused bail. He will appear in court or in a week.

Next, the business secretary Vince Cable was in the region to talk to

the Derby train make a bomb RDA. It faces the loss of 1400 jobs. The

pace again after the company last the Thames like contractors Siemens.

The government refused to consider -- consider reopening the bidding

process, despite pressure. I have spoken to the civic leaders and

management. Private conversations, but they commuter -- communicated

their concerns. I tried to stress the importance of keeping

bombarding a year. Vince Cable would not be drawn into any

commitment to bombarding a today. We are dealing with the decision

that has been made on a legal process. There are legal

complexities if it were reopened. I will certainly report back to my

colleagues everything I have heard and I have not -- heard a lot of

new points. This has become a lightning rod for worries about

British work migrating abroad. The government is keen to show it is

supporting British workers. Norton motorcycles at Castle Donington

became a beneficiary of a loan scheme to boost British exports

today. We have managed to get funding to put more money into the

supply chain, which will give us the volume to exporting to Europe.

To get valuable export sales to help us grow. This scheme is likely

to feel long-term for bombarding a workers. -- bombarded a.

Nottinghamshire County Council is looking at cutting funding it gives

to organisations caring for victims of domestic violence. They want to

save 18% of the budget by reducing duplication of the work done by a

number of women's shelters. Around 13,000 calls are answered here each

year. They are from women and children who have experienced

domestic abuse. Many need a refuge. Nottinghamshire County Council is

starting a consultation to cut funding to over �912,000. They say

it will reduce confusion and maximise potential for income.

have minimised the cuts where we can. We are working together. Part

of the consultation is the police, probation and health, so that we

get the best services for victims. We want to give reassurance she and

put the victim in the middle of this. This is two months of

consultation. We are joined by the executive director of Women Aid

Integrated Services. Does the council and a point?

We understand why they are trying to streamline. There is a

significant cut in there. They gave 1.3 million towards various

organisations in the can see working with domestic abuse and

they want to cut that to 900,000. That is more than bureaucracy. We

are concerned. Your organisation act as a referral system. How might

you be affected? We run a 24-hour helpline for women and children. At

the moment, we receive 13,000 calls each year. We are worried that we

will get women who cannot get into a refuge for get other help because

the amount of help will be reduced -- or get. With women and children

suffer because of these cuts? believe so.

There is a consultation period. We have the sport later and Mark is

at Trent Bridge. This ground has seen sensational

cricket over the past few days. And history has been made by the

hometown hero and man-of-the-match Stuart Broad.

The RSPCA believes that dog breeders could be behind a rise in

dumped pedigree dogs. They suspect the animals are abandoned when they

can no longer produce puppies. Officers in Derby say finding homes

for them is a struggle. This has been this animal's home

for five months. Workers at the centre in Derby believe this animal

was abandoned because she was no longer able to breed. They reach

the end of their breeding cycle. What happens then? Who will take

them on and look after them? We need her to have a nice home for

the rest of her life. Staff say there is an increase in similar

cases. They recognise most breeders are responsible. There is an

element where they are looking to make quick money. I do not say it

is in this case. But some people I used in the animals to make money

and at the end of their lifetime when they are not making money,

what happens to them? There has been plenty of interest in other

animals at the shelter, but five months on, and this one is still

waiting for a family. Police hunting the killer of a

young mother are following up information gathered at the weekend.

Officers spoke to 200 people in cars and buses in the St Ann's area

in the early hours of Saturday near to where Caroline Coyne's body was

found. Police have arrested three people

in connection with an armed robbery at Frankie and Benny's at Giltbrook

Retail Park. The two men aged 25 and a woman are being questioned

about the raid. They took cash before leaving in a stolen Mercedes.

How often have you watched the Antiques Roadshow and wondered if

you had something valuable in the attic? That is what happened to

Gill Cousins. She was watching the show when an expert described a

broached by a Victorian designer as his most wanted item. -- a brooch.

She realised she had the very peace of jury in her home. She was going

to sell it for �10 at a local sale. But she did take it to the Antiques

Roadshow. This is a valuable object. Somebody

lucky enough to buy back from you would have walked away with

something close to �10,000. I was within two days of selling it. I

forgot to take it to the market. Tomorrow, it goes up for auction in

Market Harborough. I spoke to the auctioneer. Can I ask you to

explain why it is so special? incredibly special. It was designed

by William Burgess, a Goliath of Victorian design. It was probably

made for somebody who was part of the Pre-Raphaelite group. It was on

its way to a local antiques market. We should be grateful it did not

make it. Absolutely. It was fortunate my client did not sell it

there and brought it in for me to advise her on its potential.

got this wonderful clue from watching the Antiques Roadshow. It

is everybody's dream to find a piece like this. We all seem to

know more about antiques now because of programmes like the

Antiques Roadshow. How where is this? It is very rare for something

of this importance to arise. It is probably eight years before the

last piece we walked through the door here. I feel proud to be able

to offer it for sale. There is a guide price of �10,000. Will it

make that? We are looking to get as close as we can. With the emotion

thrown into the auction, maybe more. A Nottinghamshire teacher who

allowed a sixth-former to stay overnight at his home has been

suspended for six months. Richard Pratt was a trainee at the Minster

School it when it happened in 2009. The General teaching Council said

that he even though he was an experienced teacher, he did not

maintain professional boundaries and failed in his duty of care by

not letting the pupils' parents know where she was. A lamp left

switched on by a family was responsible for damaging four

houses in Newark. Nobody was hurt and the Fire Service believes that

was because the family had a smoke alarm. An exhibition by Royal Crown

Derby to commemorate the launch of the Titanic has returned to Derby.

It boasts more than 100 new exhibits, including clothing warned

by the actors in the famous film. Last night, the series that sends

shivers down the spines of entrepreneurs was back on the BBC.

Sitting in one of the chairs was a new dragon. Hilary Devey is based

in Leicestershire and runs a distribution firm. As well as being

the new star of the show, she is also lashing the government

transport policy. Hilary Devey is having to get used

to being a well-known face and the media attention it brings. I will

give you 120,000. A new dragon has entered the Den. She has gained a

fortune in excess of �100 million in haulage after having a good idea

to set up a freight distribution business in the heart of the

country. Companies bring goods every day it to a harbour in

Leicestershire and her company makes short when the lorries leave

they are as full as possible. It keeps empty lorries off the roads

and saves fuel costs. Most of the trailers are almost five metres.

They carry more goods and that reduces pollution and lorry numbers.

But the European Commission wants to standardise trailers at four

metres because bridges in the rest of Europe are not as high as in the

UK. Hilary Devey is furious. There are 10,666 hauliers in this country.

By introducing this, I would say 75% would be put out of business,

creating more unemployment. For what reason? We have a motorway

network adequately equipped to carry double decked trailers.

industry has support from the Federation of Small Businesses,

which plans a lobby of the European Parliament. East Midlands MEPs back

them and the Department of Transport will oppose the plans. It

does not mean it will not go through. Why do we have to emulate

what every other country is doing? I disagree. Vehemently. Meanwhile,

Hilary Devey is concentrating on expanding into Europe. She will be

filming with the Dragon's den and the inside out programme in the

East Midlands which has followed her fortunes throughout 2011.

She was very good last night. The Leicestershire landscape that has

found a new home in the capital in a prestigious art competition. And

the weather will paid its own picture with orange on the weather

chart as temperatures reach up to 26 degrees.

And now the sport. Coming up, Jose Mourinho, Kaka and

the stars of Real Madrid, but first, remarkable days for Stuart Broad.

Two weeks ago he was in danger of being dropped it from England. Now

he is the golden boy after a sensational and historic few days.

Tonight, our reporter is live at Trent Bridge.

England beat India by 319 runs. You can see the last of the spectators

are leaving. That is pretty much the England team coach with Stuart

Broad on board behind me. Saturday, we can look at that because it was

absolutely special. Stuart Broad taking the first hat-trick against

India and the first Test match hat- trick at Trent Bridge. When the

third wicket went down, the scenes were incredible. Stuart Broad has

often been compared to Ian Botham, who was watching, and this sort of

performance with five wickets for zero runs turned the game and will

continue to have him talked about in those terms. He is the golden

boy of English cricket. It was not just about Saturday for him. On

Friday, he rescued England went he scored 66 runs. He scored 44 today

and took a vital wicket that sent England on their way to this

astonishing victory. 319 runs against the best team in the wild

and Stuart Broad collected the man- of-the-match performance. He was

not the only local boy who was a hero today. Out in the field was a

Scot Elston, the fielding substitute. He was on the field

even though he had not played a first-class match before. He is a

much in demand to talk about his story. He was burnt -- born in

Burton-on-Trent. His image is plastered across the broad more

Centre in Nottingham, a bridge onto which the Indian team passed on

their way to Trent Bridge. Little did they know he would be one of

the men to defeat them at Trent Bridge. This is an historic victory.

A sensational performance by Stuart Broad and England winning.

Leicestershire and England wicketkeeper Paul Nixon is to

retire at the end of the week. Tier East Midlands world champions,

Mansfield's Becky Adlington won her first world title with a nail-

biting swim in Shanghai, while Liam Tancock joins her by collecting

gold in the 50 metres backstroke. Rebecca Abington won a thrilling

race, coming from behind on the final length. She and her coach

have won dulled at national, European and Olympic and world

level. I cannot believe it. It was all my coach kept saying. You have

the set. Nobody can take that away from year. I am so happy. It is

something I can look back on. It will be amazing to hopefully tell

my children one day. Tonight the national press are speculating

David Beckham is coming to Leicester. Away from that, we

understand that Robbie Keane and a shame longer our targets. And this

is -- Shane longed. And this is after they came to Leicester. It

felt like a Hollywood premiere. Thousands were there to see Real

Madrid arrive. It is mind-blowing. Amazing. An incredible achievement

for them to get Real Madrid to Leicester. Jose Mourinho will know

he has been to Leicester tonight. Part of the world domination plan,

I believe! This was the moment the fans were waiting for. The famous

players in the white shirts of Real Madrid at their club. There was a

record crowd in the stadium to see the Spanish champions. But, the new

stars from Leicester did not disappoint. The biggest cheer of

the first half came when substitute Ronaldo started warming up. Before

half-time, they took the lead. As it was only a friendly, at the

interval there was a change of kit and after a defensive mix-up,

another goal for Real Madrid. But, in the sweltering heat, Leicester

City were resilient. Finally, they got their reward.

It finished 2-1. What a way for Leicester to start their new season

in the championship. It is good for everybody, the club and the players,

everyone in the club. A great day of football. I believe this team

with this manager, I believe, very soon, they will be in the

Premiership. So Ronaldo and Real Madrid say goodbye to Leicester

City and the special one says the Swedish one will have Leicester in

the Premier League soon. And the Swedish one is on BBC Radio

Leicester's phone-in as we speak. You can listen again on the eye

player. Finally, we must mention Alfreton Town Football Club as they

compete in the Conference for the first time. They warmed up with a

game against Sheffield Wednesday and they won 14-0. Brilliant. That

is it from the on a day that England won the Test match at Trent

Bridge. Ever since 1789, the Royal Academy

of Arts has hosted the annual Summer Exhibition. It is the

largest contemporary show in the wild. Artists are desperate to take

part. This year, two students from Loughborough has their work

selected from thousands of entries. Every year the Royal Academy of

Arts has around 12,000 entries from artists hoping to be part of the

Summer Exhibition. It is the largest contemporary art exhibition

in the wild. For the first time, two laugh but students have been

picked -- in the world. -- to Loughborough students. It has been

a whirlwind few months for the students at Loughborough University.

Neither imagined they would have the chance of being picked. Jane

returned to study fine art after raising a family. Her painting

almost did not make it in. We had trouble leaving Loughborough. We

are battling against rush-hour traffic to get through London for

the 6pm deadline. We got to the back of the academy and had ten

minutes to get the working in! works are entered anonymously so

that judges do not know who the artist is. Emma's painting was

inspired by the Leicestershire landscape. It was a big moment to

see her work in the gallery. I felt proud and excited to be around such

fantastic work. Some of my heroes. While it is a great honour to be

picked, for new artists it is also a chance to have their work cells.

In both their cases they have had buyers who have loved their

paintings -- work sold. For Jane, it is personal, because her work

was produced after her mother passed away. I think my mother

would have been really pleased. And the weekend we trotted off, it was

Mothering Sunday. -- dropped it off. Sitting alongside famous artists,

but two hope it is just the beginning for them.

I know somebody who is envious. You paint.

I do. I do live painting. Do you know what it is? That is people

with no clothes on. Shall we move with no clothes on. Shall we move

on to the weather!? It has been very hot and humid

today. We do not use much of the humidity. The deer were enjoying

the sunshine yesterday. Please keep your weather pictures coming in. We

have seen a lovely day across the East Midlands. The sunshine became

more hazy into the afternoon, but it has stayed dry. We have had the

best weather. It was very hot this afternoon. Throughout the evening,

temperatures will not get below 15 degrees. But there is a weather

front moving in, and cloud will increase and by the early hours of

the morning, we will see a small amount of light rain working East.

By the afternoon, showers will start to develop. They will be

around until the afternoon and will be slow-moving. It is going to be a

hot and humid day. The temperatures similar to today. We might even top

that tomorrow afternoon. Wednesday is a better day. There is another

weather front coming in for Thursday. On Wednesday, some breaks

in the cloud. Still remaining hot and humid. The temperatures at

night time on Wednesday will be even warmer. By Thursday, we see

the front crossing the East Midlands. It will be a wetter day.

Coming in behind that, slightly Clare. Temperatures going back to

what they should do for the time of year. -- cooler air. It should be
