:01:00. > :01:03.Good evening. Welcome to Tuesday's programme. First tonight, a special
:01:03. > :01:07.investigation by the BBC's Inside Out has revealed how a paedophile
:01:07. > :01:10.deceived charities to gain access to vulnerable children. Former
:01:10. > :01:13.headteacher Derek Slade from Mickleover in Derby is now serving
:01:13. > :01:20.a 21-year sentence for abusing boys at a boarding school between 1978
:01:20. > :01:26.and 1983. Back then, alarm bells about his behaviour had been rung
:01:26. > :01:30.in a BBC programme for Radio 4 with investigative reporter Roger Cook.
:01:30. > :01:40.But, as Roger now reports, Slade went on to abuse boys in India at a
:01:40. > :01:42.
:01:42. > :01:45.school paid for by a Leicester When Derek Slade was finally
:01:45. > :01:51.convicted of child abuse, his victims had become grown men. They
:01:51. > :01:57.are still living with the legacy of that abuse. I tried to commit
:01:57. > :02:02.suicide within six months of leaving school. I am a loner.
:02:02. > :02:09.Several failed relationships. I have tried time and time again.
:02:09. > :02:14.Back in 1982, the BBC Radio 4 check point programme had exposed Derek
:02:14. > :02:20.Slade's reign of terror with the help of some pupils and staff.
:02:20. > :02:27.pupils made to swap clothes. whole of his backside was covered
:02:27. > :02:32.in bruises. They were every colour. Even though the sexual abuse
:02:32. > :02:39.remains covered up, it made national headlines and he resigned
:02:39. > :02:43.later on. Further accusations made access to children difficult for
:02:43. > :02:46.him so Slade took on a false identity. Years later, he launched
:02:46. > :02:49.an organisation called International British education
:02:50. > :02:55.projects and then exploited his connections to abuse more children
:02:55. > :03:01.at more schools abroad including this school in India, funded by a
:03:01. > :03:08.Leicester charity. We tracked down some of their's victims. How many
:03:08. > :03:12.of you were beaten by a Slade? All of you? He used to beat us every
:03:12. > :03:15.Sunday. He used to beat us and then take notice and then offered
:03:15. > :03:22.chocolate. He would review afterwards and say nothing had
:03:22. > :03:27.happened. -- he would rob you afterwards. Much of the school was
:03:27. > :03:35.paid for by the Leicester Gujarat earthquake Relief Fund. Another
:03:35. > :03:38.charity also gave Slade funds. He was given a glowing account of
:03:38. > :03:43.children across the world and they admit they did not check his
:03:43. > :03:50.credentials. In all our lives, we make mistakes and this was a very
:03:50. > :03:55.grave mistake that made me think that if I was to pass by this ever
:03:55. > :03:58.again, I would never do this again. So how was he caught and convicted?
:03:58. > :04:03.The full story in a special 30 minute programme they did tonight.
:04:03. > :04:08.And that programmes, An Abuse Of Trust, goes out on BBC One at
:04:08. > :04:11.10:35pm. Next tonight, the soldiers from
:04:11. > :04:16.Leicestershire and Derbyshire who are now playing a crucial role in
:04:16. > :04:18.Britain's exit strategy from Afghanistan. The 9th/12th Royal
:04:18. > :04:21.Lancers are fighting and patrolling alongside Afghan troops in Helmand
:04:21. > :04:23.province. They'll be in charge of security when British forces
:04:23. > :04:33.finally come home. Our social affairs correspondent, Jeremy Ball,
:04:33. > :04:34.
:04:34. > :04:44.Afghan tours are less about fighting a war and trying to win
:04:44. > :04:44.
:04:44. > :04:49.BP's. This is a tank regiment patrolling on foot. The Royal
:04:49. > :04:53.Lancers are working with soldiers from Afghan's National Army,
:04:53. > :04:56.helping them to do skills on their own. We are using interpreters but
:04:57. > :05:00.it is a bit of a struggle but they seem to be picking up on everything
:05:00. > :05:05.we are teaching them so it seems to be be getting better for them.
:05:05. > :05:08.are letting them lead the patrols to the Afghan locals concede that
:05:08. > :05:12.the Afghan national army are doing it for themselves and hopefully
:05:12. > :05:18.take over. Some East Midlands soldiers are running high where
:05:18. > :05:22.patrols protecting Afghanistan's busiest roads, that makes them a
:05:22. > :05:28.prime target. This was one of several improvised bomb was
:05:28. > :05:32.discovered and last week, Paul Watkins was shot dead on patrol. It
:05:32. > :05:35.is being investigated whether his killer was wearing an Afghan
:05:35. > :05:39.National Army uniform. This is how they were training just before
:05:39. > :05:45.their deployment and now almost all of them have been in real firefight.
:05:45. > :05:49.We have had come to that with insurgents which lasted about
:05:49. > :05:53.around five hours. That was my first small arms contact, quite a
:05:53. > :05:59.surreal feeling. These love hearts on local taxes are pretty surreal
:05:59. > :06:02.as well. In a place where peace is still a long way off. Where the
:06:02. > :06:05.Royal Lancers are keeping this part of Helmand province open for
:06:05. > :06:08.business. It's emerged today that millions of
:06:08. > :06:10.pounds of public money was spent on private consultants as part of the
:06:10. > :06:15.Thameslink train deal that's left Derby's train-making industry
:06:15. > :06:18.fighting for its life. It's feared that Britain's last train-builder,
:06:18. > :06:25.Bombardier, could close after the loss of the Thameslink deal to a
:06:25. > :06:27.rival firm, Siemens. The trains will now be made in Germany. To
:06:27. > :06:37.tell us more, our reporter Simon Hare joins us from Bombardier's
:06:37. > :06:40.
:06:40. > :06:45.Good evening. Bombardier front page news again today, this is the Daily
:06:45. > :06:48.Mirror talking about 15 million Train robbers in relation to the
:06:48. > :06:56.amount of money the Government is said to have paid to private
:06:56. > :07:00.consultants to advise it on the awarding of that lucrative
:07:00. > :07:04.Thameslink contract. Somebody else says that �20 million of public
:07:04. > :07:09.money could also be spent. I am joined by the Derby North MP, Chris
:07:09. > :07:13.Williamson. It sounds like a lot of money but it is only 1% of this
:07:13. > :07:17.very lucrative contract, isn't it? Surely the Government should get
:07:17. > :07:21.the best advice it can? In to a huge sum of money and one thing
:07:21. > :07:24.that is a kick in the teeth to the Bombardier workforce is that these
:07:24. > :07:30.are consultants and have been working on how to give away the
:07:30. > :07:34.last train manufacturing factory in the UK. His inability to build
:07:34. > :07:38.trains, if this decision is not reversed, will be gone for it.
:07:38. > :07:47.of the money was spent apparently by the previous government, the
:07:47. > :07:53.Labour government will stop I am afraid that is a. I am afraid that
:07:53. > :07:56.is a rather pathetic smokescreen. The outcome is disastrous. If the
:07:56. > :08:00.Government does not do the right thing. Rolls-Royce went bust 40
:08:00. > :08:05.years ago and the Government did the right thing and saved it. It is
:08:05. > :08:09.now an icon. It can be the same for Bombardier. This is a centre of
:08:09. > :08:13.rail technology excellence and it is vital to the sector in this
:08:13. > :08:23.country for the Government to reverse its decision. Thank you for
:08:23. > :08:34.
:08:34. > :08:37.your time. From Bombardier, back to A man who allegedly conned Peter
:08:37. > :08:40.A man who allegedly conned Derbyshire pub landlords out of
:08:40. > :08:43.thousands of pounds is on a list of the ten most wanted suspected
:08:43. > :08:46.fraudsters in the UK. Peter Stead is accused of posing as an
:08:46. > :08:49.entertainer and the brother of Peter Kay. He offered to put on a
:08:49. > :08:52.comedy night to raise money for Lewis Mighty, a youngster suffering
:08:52. > :08:54.from cancer. His family want to take him to America for specialist
:08:54. > :08:57.treatment. Stead was allegedly given cash to secure bookings but
:08:57. > :09:00.failed to turn up to perform. The car-marker Toyota has announced
:09:00. > :09:03.a dramatic fall in profits and has plunged into the red. The Japanese
:09:03. > :09:07.company, which has a factory at Burnaston in Derbyshire, says net
:09:07. > :09:09.profit fell by 99% in the three months to June. It made a loss of
:09:09. > :09:13.just under $1.5 billion. It's blamed the earthquake and tsunami
:09:13. > :09:15.in March for a fall in sales. But it predicts sales will rise over
:09:15. > :09:18.the coming year. Next, the museum shut by council
:09:18. > :09:20.cuts that could be re-opened by local people. Grantham Museum
:09:20. > :09:24.closed its doors when Lincolnshire County Council decided it was no
:09:24. > :09:33.longer viable. Now volunteers have committed themselves to re-opening
:09:33. > :09:37.the museum in June next year. Geoff Getting to grips with the scale of
:09:37. > :09:41.the task, these volunteers are among 200 people who have come
:09:41. > :09:44.forward to save Grantham Museum. Anybody across the East Midlands
:09:44. > :09:48.will know what it is like to be involved in voluntary organisations
:09:48. > :09:52.but let's not forget the great work being done for generations by
:09:52. > :09:56.people coming together with a common aim which is not necessary
:09:56. > :10:02.for personal profit. For the Diamond Jubilee weekend this week
:10:02. > :10:05.next year, it will be open again. �30,000 had been pledged to upgrade
:10:05. > :10:08.the building but the district council is offering volunteers a
:10:08. > :10:13.deal on the rent. Were it was founded 100 years ago,
:10:13. > :10:17.Grantham Museum was that set up by volunteers like Henry Preston here
:10:17. > :10:20.he used to run the water works. The charge for contemporary as it had
:10:20. > :10:25.to make this museum modern, interesting and relevant but still
:10:25. > :10:31.pay the bills. I still perceive it as taking on something that I am
:10:31. > :10:36.passionate about, having something in the community. I do not want it
:10:36. > :10:41.to go. We have got plans for a shop to make it successful, we want to
:10:41. > :10:47.get corporate sponsors and have a scheme for friends of the museum so
:10:47. > :10:50.a whole set of plans to raise the profile of the museum. Every member
:10:50. > :10:55.of the group here and all the other volunteers have a different room,
:10:55. > :11:01.we have got to try somehow to get them close together so they can

:11:08. > :11:14.cramp and certainly has a story to tell, and the Iron Lady has a story
:11:14. > :11:20.to tell. If we can manage the funding carefully and well, we will
:11:20. > :11:23.reap the rewards without some of the costs back go into local
:11:23. > :11:27.authorities and big organisations getting involved. The museum is due
:11:27. > :11:32.to open its doors next June to coincide with the Diamond Jubilee
:11:32. > :11:34.Wildlife experts at the Attenborough Nature Reserve near
:11:34. > :11:39.Nottingham are warning blackberry pickers to be extra careful when
:11:39. > :11:41.rummaging for fruit. This year, the berries have ripened much earlier
:11:41. > :11:51.than usual, coinciding with the bird breeding season. Geeta Pendse
:11:51. > :11:53.
:11:53. > :11:57.For many, blackberry picking is a highlight at the end of the summer.
:11:57. > :12:01.But this year in some places, the fruits have ripened much earlier.
:12:01. > :12:04.And as visitors flocked to Attenborough Nature Reserve in
:12:04. > :12:08.Nottingham, some staff say that because are disturbing the nests of
:12:08. > :12:13.young chicks without realising. As well as a source of food, these
:12:13. > :12:16.brambles are prime locations for birds to nest. Partly because these
:12:16. > :12:21.groups are forming and uninviting to predators like crows and weasels
:12:21. > :12:31.but people walking through, it is also exposing their nests. Last
:12:31. > :12:34.
:12:34. > :12:37.week, staff were exposed to this nest which was left empty.
:12:37. > :12:41.chicks have been eaten by a predator which may not have seen
:12:41. > :12:44.the nest otherwise or been able to access it because of the thick
:12:44. > :12:50.vegetation. The main problem is that the berries have ripened at
:12:50. > :12:54.the same time as the bird's breeding season. People are being
:12:54. > :12:58.warned to stick to the paths and not wade through vegetation. It
:12:58. > :13:02.seems in many cases, visitors were unaware of the problem. I was very
:13:02. > :13:05.surprised because I thought they had flown the nest by now. It is
:13:05. > :13:09.not something that one would normally think about. I should be
:13:09. > :13:13.aware of this. People have obviously gone right into the
:13:13. > :13:17.bushes at the back so we are trying to stay across the border here and
:13:17. > :13:24.not tried to go into them too much. Staff hope that people continue to
:13:24. > :13:27.enjoy the berries were the -- while the sun is out but hope people take
:13:27. > :13:32.care of the wildlife as well. Nottinghamshire's fire authority is
:13:32. > :13:35.consulting on plans to radically change the way the service is run.
:13:35. > :13:39.More than �6 million needs to be cut from its budget over the next
:13:39. > :13:41.four years. Up to 80 part-time firefighters may go, and some
:13:41. > :13:47.traditional fire engines could be replaced with smaller fast response
:13:47. > :13:50.vehicles. The consultation will last 12 weeks.
:13:50. > :13:54.The sister of a soldier who was killed serving in Afghanistan has
:13:54. > :13:57.completed a sponsored skydive in his memory. Lance Corporal Liam
:13:57. > :14:02.Tasker was a dog handler and had been based at Melton Mowbray before
:14:02. > :14:08.being deployed. He was shot dead while on patrol in Helmand province
:14:08. > :14:11.in March. His sister Laura and her friend Emma Rushton are hoping to
:14:11. > :14:16.have raised thousands of pounds for the armed forces charity Help For
:14:16. > :14:19.Heroes. It's the first in our new series
:14:19. > :14:24.Historic Holmes, looking at the industrial legacy of the East
:14:24. > :14:28.Midlands with John Holmes. This week he explores the uprising of
:14:28. > :14:38.the Luddites who targeted knitting frames. A protest against
:14:38. > :14:48.
:14:48. > :14:52.mechanisation which began in The year is 1817 and here in the
:14:52. > :14:56.Galleries of Justice, 21-year-old Daniel Biggar will is about to be
:14:56. > :15:04.sentenced to death for attempted murder. His hanging sounded the
:15:04. > :15:09.death-knell of the Luddite uprising It is hard to believe that our
:15:09. > :15:13.story begins with a simple domestic seen here in Calverton. A local
:15:13. > :15:19.Rector was in love with a man who was in love with knitting and so he
:15:19. > :15:24.tried to impress her with a knitting machine that spared the
:15:24. > :15:28.whole process up. It caused a revolution when it caught on. After
:15:28. > :15:34.a series of bad harvests and the war with France, the four of loss
:15:34. > :15:39.of jobs and starvation was the last straw. 200 years ago here in
:15:39. > :15:43.Nottingham, the No 10s' frustration erupted a revolution of frame
:15:43. > :15:48.smashing which started in Arnold West 60 frames were destroyed in
:15:48. > :15:56.one night. Support was strong. The authorities could not find out who
:15:56. > :16:02.did it. The writers published a declaration. An address in Sherwood
:16:02. > :16:11.Forest, Ned at large. He did not exist but 30 years earlier somebody
:16:11. > :16:21.had smashed up two machines. He became known as the patron of the
:16:21. > :16:22.
:16:22. > :16:26.Luddite. The response was to make frame breaking a capital offence.
:16:26. > :16:35.They were never against technology, they claimed the frames were
:16:35. > :16:41.turning out an inferior garment. The legacy? The Luddite sadly means
:16:41. > :16:51.someone who opposes technology, not somebody who embrace his
:16:51. > :16:51.
:16:51. > :16:54.It is scary seeing John Holmes with a sledge hammer in his hands!
:16:54. > :16:58.Still to come on the programme, that brooch. Its owner almost sold
:16:58. > :17:08.it for a tenner. Its guide price at auction was �10,000. So what did it
:17:08. > :17:15.
:17:15. > :17:19.We know the answer but we will not tell you. Somebody told me anyway.
:17:19. > :17:22.Time for the sport. Nottingham Forest's manager Steve
:17:23. > :17:26.McClaren says there's still a lot of work to do. It was team photo
:17:26. > :17:28.day at the City Ground, but there aren't enough new players for
:17:28. > :17:37.McClaren's liking. He made his thoughts clear to BBC Radio
:17:37. > :17:43.Nottingham. We are still not at this stage where I would say the
:17:43. > :17:47.squad is complete. We are ready with our squad for the rest of the
:17:47. > :17:50.season. There's are still what I feel is a lot of work to be done
:17:50. > :17:52.off the field for. Derby County have signed the
:17:52. > :17:55.Republic of Ireland international Kevin Kilbane from Hull City. The
:17:55. > :17:58.34-year-old joins on a six-month loan. He can play both midfield and
:17:58. > :18:02.fullback and will play in tomorrow's friendly with Aston
:18:02. > :18:05.Villa. It's the same time every year, so I
:18:05. > :18:11.don't know why the start of the football season comes as a surprise.
:18:12. > :18:14.But it does, and it's this Saturday. So, it must be the week to look
:18:14. > :18:17.ahead for all our football clubs, Derby, Forest and Leicester, over
:18:17. > :18:24.the next couple of days. But tonight it's Notts County, where
:18:24. > :18:34.manager Martin Allen is outlining a clear philosophy. I want people to
:18:34. > :18:43.
:18:43. > :18:53.be happy. Award our players to be # Happy days. # Ready to race to #.
:18:53. > :18:54.
:18:54. > :18:59.We will compete to get the ball back if we do not have it. When we
:18:59. > :19:03.score, we will love it. And the club for everybody who pays for a
:19:03. > :19:09.ticket. Everybody who has the privilege of playing for Notts
:19:09. > :19:12.County will be happy. Making it Notts County happy has a lot of
:19:12. > :19:17.players to do with places like this, a lot of time and energy spent in
:19:17. > :19:20.making it look that much more professional. If you're a fan, the
:19:20. > :19:30.improvement that would really cheer you up would be one that happened
:19:30. > :19:31.
:19:31. > :19:36.here, on the pitch. Money, all his money. Football clubs are like pack
:19:36. > :19:40.men who eat away at it. Cash required to pay the new and old
:19:40. > :19:45.players' wages so what about them? Have they bought into the whole
:19:45. > :19:48.Happy Days philosophy? When you are on your knees, it is hard to put a
:19:48. > :19:53.smile on your face but we have got some great characters and the
:19:53. > :20:02.gaffer has got his own take on things. He is fantastic. It has
:20:02. > :20:06.been good and the Boys Are Back, he has gutted the way he wants it.
:20:06. > :20:16.should win every game, full houses every week, I will be the happiest
:20:16. > :20:16.
:20:16. > :20:19.man in the well. # These happy days In rugby, two Leicester Tigers
:20:19. > :20:22.players have had their World Cup hopes ended. Hooker George Chuter
:20:22. > :20:24.and number eight Thomas Waldrom have been released from the England
:20:24. > :20:26.training squad. Away from the heady heights of Test
:20:26. > :20:29.cricket, two county games started today. Durham opener Michael Di
:20:29. > :20:35.Venuto has been the stand-out player on Day One of Notts' visit
:20:35. > :20:38.to the Riverside. Meanwhile, honours even so far in the wooden
:20:38. > :20:42.spoon clash at Grace Road. But at least Leicestershire's James Taylor
:20:42. > :20:49.is pressing for a full England Test place. An excellent 76 for England
:20:49. > :20:52.Lions. Fifties for the Notts pair Alex Hales and Samit Patel too.
:20:52. > :20:57.Next to a new cult hero. Nottinghamshire's Scott Elstone has
:20:57. > :20:59.never played a first class cricket match. But he found himself
:20:59. > :21:02.fielding for England at Trent Bridge yesterday. The game ended
:21:02. > :21:05.with him being cheered every time he touched the ball. And he

:21:24. > :21:28.be feeling? At first, or between nerves. A run at it as quick as I
:21:28. > :21:34.could and relief when I got it in my hands. After that, he developed
:21:34. > :21:38.a fan club. Absolutely, I would not call myself a hero but certainly

:22:23. > :22:27.experience. He looks like a good fielder, so it is nice to have him
:22:27. > :22:31.there. It was not all a fairy-tale, he dropped this very difficult
:22:31. > :22:35.chance. A couple of the senior England players said don't worry
:22:35. > :22:44.about it, concentrate on the next one. His date finished in triumph
:22:44. > :22:48.but only just with the second catch. Absolute relief when it went in. It
:22:48. > :22:52.was just relief, I have just been very, very lucky and I thank the
:22:52. > :22:58.people who have supported me up until now with what I have been

:23:06. > :23:12.programme. The forgotten brooch which turned out to be a treasured

:23:18. > :23:21.a local antiques market when experts told her just how valuable
:23:21. > :23:31.it really was. She decided to sell it and today is much the richer.
:23:31. > :23:40.
:23:40. > :23:43.Something close to �10,000. Oh, my God! Oh crikey! TV gold, the moment
:23:43. > :23:48.Jill Cousins found that just how valuable her forgotten broached
:23:48. > :23:54.really was. The brooch by the Victorian designer and architect
:23:54. > :24:00.William Burgess was featured on the BBC's Antiques Roadshow. When
:24:00. > :24:05.jewellery experts called it his most wanted item. Gill, from Market
:24:05. > :24:09.Harborough, realised she had it went she went back onto the show
:24:09. > :24:13.and said that instead of selling it for �10 at an antiques fair as she
:24:13. > :24:18.had planned to, she could get around �10,000 for it. And more
:24:19. > :24:28.surprises came today when it actually ended up selling for
:24:29. > :24:33.
:24:33. > :24:38.�31,000 at auction in Exciting wasn't quite the word! If
:24:38. > :24:43.I had been at home in private, I would have been jumping up and down
:24:43. > :24:49.screaming but it is not bad at all, it was very exciting. Wonderful.
:24:49. > :24:53.Two rival bidders helped to push the price up, much to her surprise.
:24:53. > :24:58.I actually did not think it would sell. I was convinced it would not
:24:58. > :25:05.and I was making sure I was not too disappointed but certainly never
:25:05. > :25:09.expected this. It is... Out Of This World, just wonderful. So the moral
:25:09. > :25:19.of the story is make sure you have a rummage through your trinkets
:25:19. > :25:23.
:25:23. > :25:33.because you never know what hidden I shall check my hand by! --
:25:33. > :25:36.
:25:36. > :25:39.Another hot and sticky day to day across the East Midlands and it has
:25:40. > :25:44.not stopped the farmers becoming very busy digging in the fields and

:25:49. > :25:53.It must have been hot working out there. We will stay hot and humid
:25:53. > :25:58.overnight as well and the only change across the south-east corner
:25:58. > :26:02.of our region is a few showers developing and they seemed to
:26:03. > :26:06.become a bit more active throughout the evening. Some could be quite
:26:06. > :26:09.heavy and thundery and slow-moving as well. We do not lose them
:26:09. > :26:17.totally, remaining with us along the Lancashire coastline until the
:26:18. > :26:23.early hours of the morning -- the Lincolnshire coast line. It will be
:26:23. > :26:26.difficult to get some sleep where it is quite muggy. We will see the
:26:26. > :26:31.showers becoming widespread throughout tomorrow and again, they
:26:31. > :26:38.will become quite heavy. Quite thundery as well as the day goes on.
:26:38. > :26:47.Temperatures even warmer than to date, highs of 27 Celsius but it is
:26:47. > :26:50.actually 81 Fahrenheit so we finally reach the 80s. The change

:27:02. > :27:06.opportunity for it to cause some localised flooding as well because
:27:06. > :27:15.the ground is so dry, Senate will be a wet day on Thursday. A big
:27:15. > :27:20.change to what we have been getting used to -- so it will be a wet day.
:27:20. > :27:22.On Friday, if this hot and humid weather has not made you feel
