This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and me, Anne Davies. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |

Monday's programme. First tonight, a gang boss convicted of murder has | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
won the right to demand the names of officers who write reports about | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
him. He wants to know who is compiling | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
his record as he serves a life sentence in a high security prison. | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
Colin Gunn ran a gang in Nottingham blamed for giving the city its | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
reputation for gun crime. He was finally jailed for ordering the | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
murders of John and Joan Stirland in a vendetta killing. Gunn's | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
serving 35 years, currently in the high security Belmarsh prison in | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
London. It's there he complained that prison officers' names and | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
other information were withheld from copies of his record. The | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
Prisons and Probation Ombudsman agreed and Belmarsh has now | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
arranged to give him uncensored copies. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
Well, our chief news reporter Quentin Rayner joins us now. What's | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
behind his demand? Colin Gunn complained that since | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
being at the high security Belmarsh prison, reports written about him | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
didn't include names of the prison officers who'd written them. He | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
said officers' names hadn't been removed at his previous high | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
security jail. So he complained to the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
The Prison Service advised the ombudsman that information should | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
only be redacted in exceptional circumstances. So the ombudsman | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
asked Belmarsh to review the records given to Gunn and a | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
governor there decided that he should receive unredacted copies. | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
How did this come to light? The ruling was actually made in May of | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
this year but it's only just come to the public's attention. Because | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
a letter from Gunn has been published in this month's edition | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
of Inside Time, the national newspaper for prisoners. In it he | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
wrote: I know that prison staff up and down the country must hate the | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
thought of us being able to actually see who has written what | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
about us and will try to tell us we are not entitled to see names and | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
redacted information but this is 100% wrong. I hope this will be of | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
help to others. The ombudsman ruled that the names of prison staff | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
should only be removed if there is reasonable expectation that bodily | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
safety or even life itself are put at risk, but the Prison Officers' | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
Association isn't reassured. If the ruling is put in force to | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
the letter, and there is a knee- jerk reaction to it, and every | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
prisoner in a country is good in the name of every single prison | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
officer it has ever made an entry about them or give any information | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
about them, it could place prison officers in severe jeopardy for | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
their safety. Now this isn't the first time the ombudsman has ruled | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
in Colin Gunn's favour. Last year he won the right to be called Mr | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
Gunn by prison officers, complaining he wasn't being treated | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
with respect. The future of two midwife-led | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
maternity units in the Derbyshire will be decided this week. The NHS | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
wants to close the Darley Birth Centre near Matlock and a similar | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
facility in Buxton. It says both units are relics from the past and | :04:05. | :04:15. | |
:04:15. | :04:16. | ||
too expensive to keep open. A Maisie came into the world nine | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
months ago. She was born at the Darley Dale birth centre near | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
Matlock. Her mother got what she wanted, a natural birth and she had | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
no pain relief. It was fantastic. I had a really easy second birth and | :04:34. | :04:42. | |
no complications, no problems. family value the Birth Centre so | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
much that they have decided to spread the world -- spread the word | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
of a unit under threat. I did a big bike ride, without leaving | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
Derbyshire. The primary care trusts says it doesn't doubt people's | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
affection for the unit but says there are simply not enough birth. | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
In the last 12 months, only 100 people have used it. Have you been | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
winding its down? At its best it would have been 150 or 160. The | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
guidance we have is that around 300 makes basis Bain the ball -- makes | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
a sustainable Birth Centre. Could it be marketed before? That has | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
been done before. We don't think they are marketed fit enough before. | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
This meeting in 1980 it closed similar units in other towns. In | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
fact, there are now just four stand-alone midwife Redberth units | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
in our region. Darley Dale sells itself with a birth pool and mood | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
lighting. Today's weather has done little to lift the mood of | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
campaigners and it might not be the only winter gloom they have to put | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
up with if Wednesday's closure recommendations go through. Still | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
:06:08. | :06:09. | ||
to come on the programme: a hidden army of young carers. | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
A normal childhood for Sophie means caring for her disabled mum. She | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
says it's no big deal but, as you'll, see it it ia, for Sophie | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
and thousands like her. British police officers have | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
travelled to Spain in the hunt for Madeleine McCann. Madeleine from | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
Rothley disappeared in Portugal four years ago. Scotland Yard | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
detectives were asked by the Prime Minister to review the case after | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
Portuguese police dropped its investigation. The Metropolitan | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Police say last month's visit to Barcelona and previous trips to | :06:39. | :06:48. | |
Portugal were to liaise with other forces. | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
17 people have been arrested in Leicestershire during the first | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
weekend of the Christmas anti- drink-drive campaign. The None for | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
the Road campaign started last Thursday. Police say nine people | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
were over the alcohol limit on Saturday alone. Last year 125 | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
motorists were arrested for drink driving during the whole of | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
December. It's not just the roads that are | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
being prepared for the cold weather this year, East Midlands Trains | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
says its improving the way it deals with freezing temperatures. The | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
company's planning special snow timetables and has new anti-freeze | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
in vehicles which can withstand temperatures as low as minus 28 | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
degrees Celsius. It also plans to offer passenger information on | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
special screens and through dedicated Twitter feeds. | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
Nottingham City Council has apologised after people living in a | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
block of flats had to wait more than two weeks to have their bins | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
emptied. Residents said they felt ignored by | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
the authority. However, the rubbish was finally taken away less than an | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
hour after our lunchtime programme had reported their complaints. | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
The council says major changes to its bin collection schedules were | :07:50. | :07:59. | |
to blame for the delay. This was the scene at 10am today. | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
The council had not collected the bins at this block of flats since | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
the middle of November. Residents taking out their rubbish were | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
greeted by overflowing bins and piles of bags. It is not on. The | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
council just ignores us. They are ignoring a sound that is the only | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
thing I can say. They are totally ignoring our plight. If this is | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
council care, I don't know what is Foster with of a room beginning to | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
phone up, some residents were forced to put rubbish on their | :08:29. | :08:39. | |
:08:39. | :08:41. | ||
patios. -- with the room are beginning to fill up. I found... We | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
are getting desperate. These were the views aired on our lunchtime | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
programme today. Then, at around 2pm, the bins were finally | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
collected. As soon as it is on television, it is clear within 20 | :08:55. | :09:03. | |
minutes. Why has the response to the phone calls we've made... Why | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
have they done nothing? It is a side effect to last month's changes | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
to bin collections. It says the new system will save them �700,000 a | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
year but there have been some teething problems. Two weeks on and | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
the rubbish at at least 200 properties is still to be collected. | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
But for the residence here, things are finally back to normal. -- | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
residents. A youth project that's facing | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
closure got some unlikely celebrity backing today. | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
The American pop-star, Aloe Blacc, popped into to Nottingham's | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
Community Recording Studio, ahead of a performance in the city | :09:43. | :09:53. | |
:09:53. | :10:01. | ||
This is the track that turned him into a overnight recording star. He | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
was visiting Dane Nottingham youth project that is desperately short | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
of money. It has been taking teenagers off the streets for 21 | :10:10. | :10:20. | |
years. There are questions for local school children as well. | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
is not about the money you have put about what you can do with your | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
fame. I hope I can inspire the local community to support this | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
project because without it, places will not be able to stick around. | :10:33. | :10:41. | |
We needed. -- we need it forced up and then he listens to some of the | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
young musicians. -- we need it. And then he came and listened to some | :10:47. | :10:57. | |
of them the UN musicians. It gives awareness to the work that we do. | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
Last year, another big name from the musical world came to visit. | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
Feargal Sharkey was here with the culture minister to unveil a new | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
rehearsal space. Now the studio might have to close because of cuts | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
in its funding. We are reaching the point where we could cease to be. | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
People were completely disillusioned, had no way to go, we | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
were bringing parents. We are trying to make sure that kids are | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
not confused because it was a big issue, the riots. I don't know how | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
easy we could have been of places like this were around. Getting | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
support from such a big star is a shot in the arm but it is money | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
they really need here. It will take very much more than a dollar to get | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
this centre up and running. Now it's hard enough caring for a | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
family member virtually full time but it's even harder if you're | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
trying to do well at school too. But that's the reality facing 14- | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
year-old Sophie Walker from Derby, who, with her dad, looks after her | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
mum who suffers from Huntingdon's disease. | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
In the first of our series on carers, James Roberson went to met | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
Sophie, whose only respite from her duties comes through her dance | :12:09. | :12:17. | |
classes. At classes in Derby, Sophie Walker | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
looks like all the other young dancers learning the latest routine. | :12:22. | :12:32. | |
:12:32. | :12:33. | ||
For Sophie, this is her knee time. -- me time. But she soon get back | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
to her other eating, washing up and making food, so she can help to | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
look after her mother. She has Huntington's disease. It | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
progressively affects the brain and nervous system. Hadn't really mind | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
because I think I am used to it now. I don't find it as hard. -- I don't | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
really mind. Some people think it is a big deal but it is normal life. | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
Sophie has spent most of her child at helping care for her mother. As | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
her condition has worsened, so he has done more and more so Alpo, | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
from making her bed debating have lost up people say you are doing | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
really well. She just doesn't see what all the fuss is about. She | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
doesn't think she is anything special. So he also has to fit in | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
homework and every week her dancing, her bit of respite care. It gives | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
me a really good break and everyone is fully supportive. It gives me | :13:30. | :13:38. | |
someone to talk to land gives me a break. Because my father a break. | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
Her parents are proud of her daughter who has already won a | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
committee Champions Award and is hoping to be part of the Olympic | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
torch relay. The mother nominated me. I felt really good. I like it | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
when I make my mother pride and she is happy. As long as my mother is | :13:54. | :14:03. | |
happy, I'm happy as well. There could be up to 750,000 teenagers | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
like Sophie across the country. Many are reluctant to admit they | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
care for other people, a point made by Nikki Thompson from the | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
Barnardo's charity earlier this afternoon. | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
The overriding fear for young carers and their parents is if they | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
ask for help it will be perceived that they are not coping and they | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
are frightened that their family will be split up if they do ask for | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
some support. That is not what happens but I think that is the | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
overriding fear. That is the biggest challenge that we all face | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
in terms of identifying young people like Sophie and their | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
parents. Sophie is obviously comfortable with her role. She is a | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
great girl. There are other children who would fear being | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
bullied, is that right? Yes. At Barnardo's, day-in, day-out, we | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
would have lots of young carers who are not coping as well as Sophie | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
and to one not as resilient as Sophie evidently is. One of the | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
many negative impacts of being a young carer can be bullying from | :15:02. | :15:12. | |
:15:12. | :15:13. | ||
Piers, which is very distressing. - - peers. No teenager wants to be | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
seen as being different. Sadly, in society, even today, there are | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
tremendous stigmas associated with mental health, physical | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
disabilities and alcohol and substance issues, which many of our | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
young carers parents are experiencing. By association, the | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
young carers are stigmatised as well. I know that Barnardo's | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
supports young carers. There is help out there, isn't there? | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
Certainly, Barnardo works with over 350 young carers in Leicester and | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
Leicestershire every year. There are other young care services | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
throughout the East Midlands. There is a great website younger carers | :15:54. | :16:04. | |
:16:04. | :16:05. | ||
.net. You can search in your area. There is a safe chat room as well. | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
Still to come: it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
Yes, snow in some parts last night. And there's another cold one on the | :16:15. | :16:24. | |
:16:25. | :16:25. | ||
way. I am keeping warm and snug, looking at some of the snowy images | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
that have come in today four cross region. I will be giving you the | :16:28. | :16:38. | |
:16:38. | :16:48. | ||
First Nigel Pearson says he'll be looking to tweak his Leicester City | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
squad in the January transfer window. It follows defeat to his | :16:51. | :17:00. | |
old club Hull City at the weekend. Jeremy Nicholas reports. | :17:00. | :17:09. | |
The Hull City Platt -- fans had been... They were not impressed. | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
Another game. That is your people's job to build it up like that. It | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
was a game we are all looking forward to. 10 of the 11 players | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
were signed by Pearson and it was left to his players to open the | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
scoring, nearly. A crucial moment was the sending off of his play a. | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
At first, the second red card seemed harsh but closer inspection | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
showed it wasn't for the initial challenge but for the following | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
trip. Have got no complaints with it. I've seen at a number of times. | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
-- I've got no complaints with it. Friarton made no mistakes from the | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
spot. Leicester were back in the game when David Nugent found | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
himself in space. His shot was straight at the keeper. The shot | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
came back to this other player. His right foot found the bottom corner. | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
The travelling supporters sang, with only got 10 men, and it looked | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
like they were going to win it. But this player scored a goal right at | :18:14. | :18:24. | |
:18:24. | :18:26. | ||
We know we've got very good players. The balance of the squad needs | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
tweaking slightly. We will look at that when the January comes but | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
there is a bit of football to be paid between Valand them. -- | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
between now and then. Leicester's squad, tweaked or not, | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
learned yesterday they will go to Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
third round. So no pressure for either team there. Actually, its | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
probably an unwelcome distraction for Forest in particular. A third | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
defeat on the bounce on Saturday in another game which Forest should | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
have won. This is why they did not. But his | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
injury time and a moment of weakness and Brighton and pick | :18:56. | :19:06. | |
:19:06. | :19:08. | ||
Forest. -- unpick. It was a crawl way to lose it. We've got to keep | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
our focus and belief. We cannot turn in a performance like that and | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
there be too much wrong with us. can show you exactly what Steve | :19:18. | :19:28. | |
:19:28. | :19:28. | ||
Especially in the second half, passing and movement to savour. In | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
the end there, all for nothing. Like it or not, Nottingham Forest | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
of Ackerman bottom three. -- back in the bottom three. | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
Bit of Forest news today. Former striker Marlon Harewood is back | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
training with the club. He's been playing in China and becomes a free | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
agent next month. Notts County are safely through to the third round | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
of the FA Cup, where a they have the rather dull draw of Doncaster | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
away. But at least they made it past non-league Sutton United. | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
Notts progress was by no means certain until the very end of the | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
game. Jeff Hughes had given them the lead 35 minutes in, but Notts | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
only stayed in front because Stuart Nelson was able to save a Sutton | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
penalty. The Magpies finally finished their non league opponents | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
off in injury time. Hughes again. One final thing from the FA Cup. | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
Derby, who drew against Crystal Palace in the league on Friday, | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
will be at home to guess who? Crystal Palace, in the third round | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
of the Cup. In Rugby, a bit of a relief for me. | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
On Friday I absolutely promised you Leicester Tigers against | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
Northampton would be exciting. So thank goodness it was. Tigers | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
victorious by just five points in a cracking Premiership game at a | :20:33. | :20:41. | |
packed Welford Road. It is fair to say they will not be | :20:41. | :20:50. | |
many Christmas cards sent between these two teams. Northampton's Tom | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
Ward was not pulling his punches. The cavalry arrived and it all | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
kicked off. Two of the players were sent off. Ashton, who started the | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
whole thing, escaped Scot free hand went on to score a try to keep | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
Northampton in the game. Young went over to keep Leicester's noses | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
ahead. Northampton hit back with tries from these two players. The | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
Saints went into the lead. They left Tigers fans with their hearts | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
in their mouths. A win is even sweeter when it is almost taken | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
away. To rub salt into Chris Ashton's wins, he was even GG | :21:29. | :21:37. | |
enough to touch down with his famous splash. -- cheeky enough. | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
It was also tight for Nottingham Panthers, though it shouldn't have | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
been. These goals had helped Nottingham to a four one lead but | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
later they somehow let Dundee back into it for a tense final few | :21:46. | :21:54. | |
minutes. In the end though the work Panthers did here was enough. 5-4, | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
the final score. A mention, finally, for Leicester | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
Riders. No BBL Cup final for them, a poor first half did the damage as | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
they lost in their semi final second leg at Newcastle. Now for | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
the first in a little series we're running to give you a flavour of | :22:08. | :22:15. | |
Christmas, with the emphasis on the flavour. | :22:15. | :22:18. | |

Good evening. We've had snow recedes across the East Midlands | :25:15. | :25:23. | |
and a couple of our cameraman went out to film these scenes. This dog | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
is having a great time, isn't he? Into Ashbourne as well, plenty of | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
snow around. If you have not seen any snow today, there has been | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
plenty around. We are set to see further icy conditions as we go | :25:37. | :25:44. | |
through the ceiling and overnight tonight. If you have any nice shots, | :25:44. | :25:52. | |
or send the men. -- send them in. We have a Met Office weather | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
warning, a yellow alert for icy conditions overnight tonight and | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
into tomorrow morning. It is mainly for the Peak District which is | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
going to be affected by this weather warning. As we move on and | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
look ahead over the coming few days, we can save there are some showers | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
trickling in across the region. Just to the north, we are seeing a | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
wintry mix. A little bit of snow is still over the Peter strict. Way we | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
do see those showers continuing as there temperatures plummet. -- over | :26:23. | :26:33. | |
the Peak District. Temperatures will be turning very cold. A very | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
cold start to Tuesday morning, I stand for Sunday. A touch of frost | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
tomorrow morning. A bright and sunny start but the cloud increases | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
and we get further showers blowing in through the afternoon. The | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
temperatures still struggling, only getting up to around six Celsius as | :26:48. | :26:55. | |
your maximum temperature. Another cold night ahead. Wednesday is a | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
blustery day. The chance of one or two showers although they will be | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
mainly rain showers. Further very wet and windy weather heading our | :27:03. | :27:12. | |
And finally tonight, a happy ending for a flock of geese. For ten years | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
they have lived on an allotment in Mansfield Woodhouse. | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
But their owner, Roger Spate, was told that after complaints the | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
birds would have to go. Well, after their case was highlighted on East | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
