This is East Midlands Today with Kylie Pentelow and me, Dominic | :00:04. | :00:06. | |
Heale. Tonight - the safety fears that | :00:06. | :00:13. | |
keep children cooped up at home. Unlike their grandparents, one in | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
five has never played in fields of farmland. You try to tell their | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
children about the freedom you have done everything. It's hard for them | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
to understand because they've not known it. | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
Also tonight, a man filmed walking in the early hours, close to where | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
a young mother was murdered. It is a significant and I urge the public, | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
if they know who this person is, please give us a ring and help us | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
with the inquiry. Past Derby County is hoping for a | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
good result, saving jobs at Bombardier. | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
And taking some knocks, scaling new heights and having a ball at a | :00:52. | :01:02. | |
:01:02. | :01:06. | ||
Welcome to the programme. First tonight: how free are your children | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
or grandchildren? New research has revealed that many children are | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
denied the freedom to play outside because of their parents' fears | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
over safety. A charity, the National Children's | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Bureau, found that one in five children has never played in fields | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
and on farmland, far fewer than their parents and grandparents. | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
Our reporter James Roberson has been to meet three generations of | :01:28. | :01:38. | |
the same family in Derby to find out more. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Outside their grandad so house, the younger grand children play on | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
their bikes. This is what this youngest generation is used to, | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
only being allowed to play on their own within sight of the family's | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
houses which are close by. It is a huge change since 65 year-old Dave | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
was a lad growing up. In the early 50s, he would happily Rome on his | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
bike, up to 10 miles from his home. By the 70s and 80s, when his sons | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
were growing up, they were only allowed to go to a nearby park on | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
their own. Now their children, aged 14 down to seven, have grown up | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
with only the street outside being considered safe. It was a different | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
world. He tried to tell the children about the freedom you had | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
and everything. They've not know it themselves. It was a lovely world | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
then. Do you worry about being saved? Yeah, a little bit. The | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
people around here, fell in gangs and carry weapons around with them. | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
The family now escort their children to the park, to events | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
like this Sunday, designed to help children enjoy the outdoors with | :02:48. | :02:56. | |
their children. We were not allowed to go too far. Our parents always | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
knew we were at the park. It was so. It is not as safe now to let our | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
kids out. We have to bring our children and here and Mollet am am | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
off whilst they are playing. Children like to be outside, they | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
like to be well to activities with or without parents. Sometimes it is | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
nice for them to experiment without parents. Anything that gets them | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
out and about, doing things, using their minds to do things his | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
reimport and in a child's development. Play is essential. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Playing under the watchful eye of a parent is the reality for many | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
children these days. But not for thousands of Scouts and | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
Guides gathered for their annual jamboree in Leicestershire. And our | :03:44. | :03:54. | |
:03:54. | :03:55. | ||
reporter Jo Healey is there too. As you can see from all of those | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
tense over there, here in Leicestershire, thousands and | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
thousands of children are staying well away from their families and | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
homes all week. They are doing loads of activities. What are you | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
doing? We have got climbing, zip wire, Mountain bought Ding, sailing, | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
kayaking, everything really. There has been the order water fight! | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
They say kids are over-protective. Have the children here been up for | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
it? Definitely. They have all loved having a go and try new things. No | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
one has not wanted to get involved and statin. Everyone has been | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
jumping on and having a go. important to you think it is that | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
children have a go? It is so important to try new things out and | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
get the opportunity to try things that you would not usually get to | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
at home. That is how you came into climbing. Yes, I came in 2001 as a | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
Brownie and tried it. I loved it and joined a club. Then it went | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
from there. And just what do you reckon children get out of the sort | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
of thing? The opportunity to try new things and make new friends, | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
and have fun while they are doing it. Great. You cannot get better | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
and that. Later, I will be finding out just what the children here | :05:14. | :05:24. | |
:05:24. | :05:26. | ||
Thank you, Becky. We'll be back with you later. And we like to hear | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
your views. Do you think children have less freedom today? Let us | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
know how you used to spend the long summer holidays. You can send us a | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
message by Twitter or by email and we'll read some of them out later | :05:36. | :05:45. | |
in the programme. You're watching East Midlands Today. | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
Still to come: the family of a soldier killed in Afghanistan hear | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
tributes to his bravery - as a Police have released CCTV pictures | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
of a man they believe may have vital information about the murder | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
of a woman in Nottingham. The body of Caroline Coyne was | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
found between two houses in the St Ann's area of the city just over a | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
week ago. Angelina Socci reports. The 28 year-old woman, a mother of | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
two children, was found dead on 23rd July. Her body was discovered | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
here, and she died from head injuries. Today, Nottinghamshire | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
police have released these pictures of a man walking in the area in the | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
early hours of that morning. Officers say he is wide, around 6 | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
ft tall and you can see he has a backpack and light coloured shoes. | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
If someone is watching television and sees the CCTV, recognises the | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
person, allowed her son to give us a call. If there is anyone out | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
there that recognises the image and thinks they know who it is, awarded | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
them to give us a call. There are still a lot of unanswered questions. | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
A missing trainer worn by Caroline still has not been found. Officers | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
are also following up information gathered in the early hours of | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
Saturday morning when they stopped cars and buses near to where she | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
was found a week earlier. Now they are hoping that this man may also | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
have vital information that can help the murder investigation. | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
Next tonight, the worker left with a fear of heights and the need for | :07:25. | :07:35. | |
several operations after he fell 15 feet through a factory roof. | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
As Simon Hare reports, the company involved today pleaded guilty to | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
breaching health and safety rules and was fined �10,000. | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
There was a big bang, like a crack, and the next thing, as on the floor. | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
Michael fell 15 ft on to textiles equipment. He had been working on | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
the roof. He was left needing six skin graft operations. I did not | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
dare I had done that to my back. I thought I had banded. I could see | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
blood down my arms and down my head. Two years on, the contractor or | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
from Mansfield today admitted breaching health and safety rules. | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
Derby magistrates fined the firm �10,000 and ordered it to pay more | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
than �5,000 costs. The court heard there were some safety bores on the | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
roof to spread the load of people walking on them but they did not | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
have got rails and through flights have not been covered. We have 35 | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
fatalities every year from work at Hyde. With workers are a big | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
proportion of that. Several thousand people have life-changing | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
injuries from falling through all of industrial rooms every year. | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
court heard that the company deeply regrets the accident and Mr Hawkins | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
will be in line for compensation for the injuries he suffered. | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
cannot go up Heights, and scared of them now. I never used to be scared | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
of heights. If fire and stood still for too long, I cannot do it | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
because my Back's seizes up. -- If I am stood still. | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
The former leader of Derby City Council has pleaded not guilty to | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
assaulting his ex-wife. Conservative councillor Harvey | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Jennings, seen here in the dark blue suit with his new partner, is | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
alleged to have assaulted Jane Jennings on the 3rd of May - just | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
days before this year's local elections when he retained his seat. | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
The trial will take place at Nottingham Magistrates' Court. | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
Police have begun an investigation after a woman's body was discovered | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
in a car in a field in Derbyshire. Officers were called to the field | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
off Wilne Lane in Long Eaton, after a report of a car on fire. The | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
woman is thought to be in her 30s. Police say they're not treating her | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
death as suspicious. The Department of Health has | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
praised the way King's Mill Hospital in Sutton in Ashfield has | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
cracked down on hospital acquired infections. The Sherwood Forest | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
Hospitals trust says strict measures have led to King's Mill | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
being free of the MRSA superbug for over a year. Staff say all patients | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
are screened when they arrive. Next tonight - he was awarded one | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
of the highest military honours for his part in rescuing wounded | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
comrades. Today, four years after his death, part of an army training | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
centre was named after Sergeant Craig Brelsford. | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
Family and friends attended the ceremony at the Catterick Garrison | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
in Yorkshire where the Nottinghamshire soldier trained, as | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
Paul Bradshaw reports. Putting on of the medals of a | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
fallen hero, Sue Brailsford prepares for a ceremony marking | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
their courage of her son who was killed and Afghanistan in 2007. | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
of the number of sold his but have been killed, that Craig has been | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
remembered, and very proud. He was awarded the Military Cross | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
posthumously after trying to save his colleagues. Today, his family | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
returned to Catterick Garrison almost 12 years to the day after | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
Craig started his training here to see an accommodation block named in | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
his memory. He was the perfect example of what we look for in a | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
senior non-commissioned officer. His biggest priority was looking | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
after has sold us. He was clearly a very brave man. He performed | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
extremely capably operations. new facility has cost �60 million | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
and it is hoped great legacy will inspire the next generation. He is | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
a good example to new recruits come through this place. All of our new | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
crew recruits come to this place and this is the perfect example of | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
what they should be aspiring to be in their careers. I don't know how | :11:57. | :12:06. | |
to put it into words, to be honest. I am really honoured that his name | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
has been put on of these blocks as a remembrance. Although he gave his | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
life for thousands of miles away, there is now a permanent memorial | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
to Craig closer to home. Car parking charges at hospitals in | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
Leicester are set to double in price. Among the proposals to be | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
discussed at a board meeting of the NHS Trust tomorrow, are plans to | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
increase a one hour parking ticket from a pound, to two pounds thirty. | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
-- �2.30. Staff permits could also go up. The new charges would end | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
the Trust's subsidising of parking. In just one day the police in Derby | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
have stopped almost a hundred people for dangerous driving or for | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
having unsafe vehicles. Drivers in Chaddesden were cautioned for a | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
range of offences including not wearing seat belts, using hand held | :12:53. | :13:03. | |
mobile phones or for having un- roadworthy cars. | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
One of the region's major tourist attractions has won a Green Flag | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
Award. Rutland Water received the top gong for being well maintained, | :13:09. | :13:18. | |
well managed and for having excellent facilities. Set in more | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
than 4,000 acres of open countryside it's a haven for | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
wildlife and attracts thousands of visitors every year. | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
Elm trees are making a come back in the East Midlands after millions | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
died from Dutch Elm Disease. The outbreak, particularly the big one | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
in the 1970s, meant they all but disappeared from our landscape. | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
But now they're on their way back and a tree planting scheme is | :13:39. | :13:49. | |
:13:49. | :13:54. | ||
starting to a make a difference in It caused the biggest disaster for | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
our trees in modern history. More than 20 million were felled because | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
of Dutch elm disease. Preventative measures are desperately important. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
In many areas, the elm will disappear. We very much hope that | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
people will recant in the future. And planned for the future they did. | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
It has been slow but 16 disease resistant elm trees are now getting | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
established as Leicestershire could schools and in the National Forest. | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
It was devastating and the disease are still around today. There | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
appears to be a genetic experience -- was distance with this tree. | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
We're also looking to propagate from other isolated trees which | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
survived the disease through the 70s and 80s. This is rare timber, | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
and untrue that may have designed - - died from the disease. At this | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
Park, they are preparing for a would fare on 29th August and some | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
of this would will be available to craftsmen. People will have a | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
chance to learn all about the Somme project. They will be able to see | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
some of the Elms we are milling today, made into beautiful | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
furniture. It will be a chance for them to learn all about the forests, | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
all about the developments and the things that people can see and do | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
here. It is taking time but with care, more and more are on trees | :15:08. | :15:17. | |
will flourish for everyone to enjoy. Coming up - Rams to the rescue. Why | :15:17. | :15:27. | |

Derby County's backing Bombardier. It is a lovely evening here. The | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
stunt -- the Sun is still shining but it is a different story in | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
other parts of the region. I will have a full forecast at the end of | :15:35. | :15:43. | |
a programme. Time for sport with Nat. | :15:44. | :15:53. | |

First swimmer Rebecca Adlington The players warm-up shirts will | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
carry the slogan, save our rail industry. | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
The training T-shirts have been made, the banners printed, a packed | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
pride Park on Saturday will have no doubt about the message. | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
employees have stood by the club over many years and we've got an | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
opportunity to do the same for them. Something like 20,000 people work | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
for Rolls-Royce here. 40 years ago, another Derby company under threat. | :16:29. | :16:39. | |
It looks very bleak. That's all I can say. Derby's then manager Brian | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
Clough said he wanted to cheer up the workers and went out and paid a | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
record transferred three to sign the Robert Todd. Derby County has | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
always held on to its industrial roots and in turn, the workers of | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
Derby have always come out to support their club. They are the | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
best supported club in the East Midlands. That relationship will be | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
tested this season. At one stage last season, Derby were forced but | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
with only four league wins since the CERN of the year, the fans have | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
got fed up. -- the turn of the year. With a year left on his contract, | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
does Nigel Clough have something to prove? I don't look at it like that | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
at all. If we start trying to look at it in a personal way, you tend | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
to make decisions for the short term and not in the best interests | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
of the club over the long term. player have played in the day... | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
They derby lad, one of his brothers works for Bombardier. Absolutely | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
brilliant to be back. Loving it. Itching to get back playing. | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
players may still come up but where does it leave Derby ahead of the | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
new season? The championship is so unpredictable. There are teams | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
coming into it from League One, those coming down. It is almost | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
impossible to predict. The bookies are even finding it difficult to | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
say who will go up. You have the obvious Leicester and West Ham who | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
are favourites but after that, it could be anybody. 40 years ago, | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
against the odds, Derby won the League and the government saved | :18:14. | :18:23. | |
Rolls-Royce. How the City would love that to happen again. | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
The Rams kick-off on Saturday against Birmingham. Tonight, they | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
have a friendly at home to Aston Villa. | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
Leicester City are closing in on signing striker Shane long from | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
Reading. Swimming and Rebecca Adlington says | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
she can get even better in the run- up to 2012, despite becoming world | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
champion over 800 metres at the weekend. Becky arrived back in the | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
UK last night. And today she's been out promoting a swimming campaign | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
in London. Earlier she told me what spurred her on to her latest gold | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
medal. It was the last 50, I pushed off and said holiday, holiday, | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
holiday, just keep going. I put my head down and thought it is all | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
over after this. It doesn't matter about the pain, work as hard as you | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
can. Just try and finish. Did you expect to do so well at the | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
world's? No, I definitely different -- didn't. At the last World, I | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
came away with two bronze medals. It was an exciting time it but to | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
come away this time with a gold and silver is absolutely amazing. And | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
so glad I've improved as well. I never thought it was going to | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
happen. I wasn't even thinking about medals or play how much does | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
it mean to you guessing that gold and silver in the world? In terms | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
of the Olympics coming up, with it being just a year away. It is | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
extremely exciting and the whole of the UK is looking forward to it. | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
Especially as... It was so nice to see my colleague qualifying for the | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
Olympics. It got us all extra motivated and have made us more | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
excited. It is not that far away now. There seemed to be a | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
sensational spirit among the team. What was that like? The support and | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
the team are absolutely amazing at the minute. The atmosphere is so | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
good and everyone is so positive. It is such a great thing to be part | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
of. I wouldn't be able to do it without the team's support. If | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
somebody has a bad swim, they pick them back up for the next race. It | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
is so nice that we have that. We have and always have that in the | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
past and that is why we are doing so well. Becky, does all the | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
support back home still means something to you? It didn't get a | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
chance to see any of the coverage or read any of the papers. | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
Everybody was sending their best and it was so nice. That support | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
means everything to all of us. Great to see you. Have a nice break | :20:54. | :21:04. | |

Cricket and at Leicester, a superb spell of bowling has set up a close | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
finish in the game against Kent. That is all your sport on the day | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
when the big names of Derby County show his solidarity with a train | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
makers that Bombardier. Now it is time for us to head back | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
to the sunshine. You will remember earlier in the programme, we had a | :21:32. | :21:41. | |
Hello. There are thousands of children here. This is just a few | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
of them and they are doing hundreds of activities all week, not just | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
here, but also out and about. Watersports in Leicestershire, | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
climbing, caving in Derbyshire, here is just a taste of some of the | :21:54. | :22:04. | |
:22:04. | :22:14. | ||
Thousands of kids, hundreds of activities. They are busy all day | :22:14. | :22:23. | |
long and loving it! It was really great. If it was a bit scary at | :22:23. | :22:33. | |
:22:33. | :22:34. | ||
first. It is scary. You don't see anything. Jamie, what have you been | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
up to this week? Running and jumping and everything. Bouncing up | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
and down and running around and everything really. Do you like | :22:43. | :22:53. | |
:22:53. | :22:59. | ||
Are you enjoying the climbing? Loving it. It's really fun. I love | :22:59. | :23:08. | |
coming down and I love dangling. were trying to get the balls from | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
the top of the net to the bottom and we were getting really squashed | :23:12. | :23:22. | |
:23:22. | :23:28. | ||
really. It was very complicated but These are largely scouts and guides | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
from the East Midlands but also there is very much a national and | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
international flavour. Here right now, we have people from Ireland, | :23:38. | :23:47. | |
Germany and cannier! Are you all enjoying yourselves? -- Kenya. One | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
slight fly in the ointment, the weather has been amazing. What is | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
it going to be like from here on There is a lovely breeze which has | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
suddenly picked up but it has been a different story across the region | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
today. Although the western side has seen the drier weather, we have | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
a warning in force at the moment for heavy rain. We did this | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
afternoon start to see some pretty heavy thundery downpours. If they | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
all merged together across parts of Leicestershire and Lincolnshire. It | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
really has been awful whether to try and deal with. The showers are | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
finally starting to clear away towards the east coast. Gradually | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
throughout the evening, will start to see the weather improving again. | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
It is still going to stay she made overnight. Summer temperatures to | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
last night, a minimum of 16 Celsius. There his card already coming in by | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
the early as of the morning and as we have a weather front coming from | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
the south-west, that will bring a band of rain for Thursday. That | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
will also bring a change in the the temperatures. The temperatures are | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
gradually going to go down to what they should be for the time of year, | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
around 20 sources. The rain will become quite heavy and persistent | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
for a time through the middle part of tomorrow and then it will start | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
to pull away eastwards during the evening. Friday will not be a bad | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
day. That will be the better day at of the next three. The temperatures | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
will be more reasonable sober again, daytime temperatures at 20 Celsius | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
on Friday. Some sunshine as well. A good day in store but then we do | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
have some low pressure coming in over the country for the weekend. | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
What that will do is start to keep us unsettled. We will see a mixture | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
of sunny spells and showers. It will be unsettled for the early | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
part of next week. It will not deter anybody here. Everyone has | :25:38. | :25:48. | |
have been -- has been having a Those storms you mentioned, there | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
of all ready making themselves felt. This picture was e-mailed to West a | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
short time ago, heading into Leicester. | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
The showers are moving away, they will clear towards the North Sea. | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
We were watching them on the radar in the office and they were | :26:07. | :26:14. | |
spectacular. A lot of rain fall in a short space of time. | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
It was perfectly clear to see that the Scouts and Guides have been | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
having a fantastic time at the jamboree. Let's hope that weather | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
holds for them. Earlier in the programme, we ask | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
you to write in to tell us how much freedom you used to have when you | :26:28. | :26:38. | |
:26:38. | :26:45. | ||
were a child. Terence said he never had any adverse experiences. | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
Of DEC clones says, children have less freedom. He said when my dad | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
was young, he was always out and about. Another viewer said he used | :26:55. | :27:02. | |
to play football, tennis, kick the can and marbles. | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
Down the said, he used to play out with his friends every night. -- | :27:08. | :27:16. | |
Daniel said. Another viewer says, back in the 60s, he was out all day | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
playing or riding his bike in the countryside. | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
A jammer says my parents preferred this to be outside. -- Gen a. | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
Stewart says, we were outside all the summer holidays and only in for | :27:28. | :27:37. |
