:00:07. > :00:13.This is East Midlands Today. Our top story: they have been there for
:00:13. > :00:17.four months now they have a week to leave. Occupy Nottingham protesters
:00:17. > :00:21.face eviction but say they will fight on. The fact that the council
:00:21. > :00:27.are moving us on the shows they are not listening to the people, they
:00:27. > :00:32.are trying to dictate to the people. Under-par asked dupe students from
:00:32. > :00:36.Broxtowe have gone to university but now an East Midlands
:00:36. > :00:39.entrepreneur of is helping them bill for a brighter future.
:00:39. > :00:44.Plus a phone tracker guides police to the wrong house with the
:00:44. > :00:48.damaging results. Very sparse evidence for breaking down the door,
:00:48. > :00:54.especially when the cost of the door is more than the I phoned to
:00:54. > :00:58.start. And can culture keep our cities ahead of the curve? From
:00:58. > :01:08.musicals to cinema, we will look at whether Leicester's vision for a
:01:08. > :01:16.
:01:16. > :01:20.cultural quarter is heading in the Good evening. First tonight,
:01:20. > :01:24.occupied protesters have been given a week to leave Nottingham's Market
:01:24. > :01:30.Square. The notice was served by the council this afternoon. There
:01:30. > :01:33.are still dozens of 10s there in a camp that were set up last October.
:01:33. > :01:41.The protesters say they are on public land and they will fight the
:01:41. > :01:45.eviction in court. They have been here for more than
:01:45. > :01:49.130 days as part of the global protest against the international
:01:49. > :01:54.financial system. This camp has become a prominent landmark but now
:01:54. > :01:57.they have been told they will be evicted. The city council says it
:01:57. > :02:02.has allowed the protesters to make their point and it has tried to
:02:02. > :02:06.negotiate with them but now it is time to move on. We support their
:02:06. > :02:12.right to protest and it is important people feel they can do
:02:12. > :02:16.that. On the other hand, we have had complaints. This is a public
:02:16. > :02:20.highway and the responsibility of the council to keep it clear.
:02:20. > :02:25.protesters say their tents on land that belongs to all citizens and
:02:25. > :02:29.they put up notices to say they will treat an eviction as trespass
:02:30. > :02:34.and claim thousands of pounds in compensation. If the council think
:02:34. > :02:40.that pushing us off the square we will be out of sight and disappear,
:02:40. > :02:44.quite the reverse. It will strengthen us and we will be back
:02:44. > :02:49.day-in, day-out. We will hold our meetings here, we are not going to
:02:49. > :02:55.go. Outside the camp there are strong views on both sides of the
:02:55. > :03:01.argument. They are doing a good job. If they want to stop here, let them
:03:01. > :03:08.stay. Leave them where they are. It does look a bit of a mess. I would
:03:08. > :03:16.get rid of it. One of them now? we all moved in, what will it be
:03:16. > :03:19.like? Definitely go. This is one of Britain's last surviving occupied
:03:19. > :03:26.camps but after well over four months it looks as though time is
:03:26. > :03:32.running out. Jeremy is with us. Why is it taking
:03:32. > :03:36.them so long? The council has tried a softly-softly approach. They have
:03:36. > :03:39.negotiated with the protesters and they thought they had an agreement
:03:40. > :03:45.for this can to be scaled down but the talks have broken down and
:03:45. > :03:49.today, this notice has been served on the protesters. Why do the
:03:49. > :03:54.protesters think they will win this? They say they are not
:03:54. > :03:58.committing any crime. We all have a legal right to protest and this is
:03:58. > :04:04.a battle over whether they are trespassing on not. The council
:04:04. > :04:08.says it owns its land said they are trespassing. The protesters say it
:04:08. > :04:16.is his land belonging to everyone and the courts will decide who is
:04:16. > :04:19.right. Thank you. Still to come: more details about
:04:19. > :04:25.the Queen's Jubilee tour of Leicester with the Duchess of
:04:25. > :04:29.Cambridge. 41 lucky student could be a huge step in the right
:04:29. > :04:38.direction if his or her desire is chosen to be worn by the Duchess. -

:04:43. > :04:47.police are refusing to repair the damage they caused after they broke
:04:47. > :04:51.down his door looking for a stolen phone which was not there.
:04:51. > :04:54.Nottinghamshire police have admitted they based some of their
:04:54. > :05:00.information on the phone's apparent location by using satellite
:05:00. > :05:03.tracking technology on the stolen phone. But Robert Persis he
:05:03. > :05:10.believes tracking software like that is not accurate enough to
:05:10. > :05:15.pinpoint a single house. In show what in Nottingham, or
:05:15. > :05:19.Robert checks out a house he is renovating. He is angry his front
:05:19. > :05:24.door remains damaged. It was broken down by police officers who
:05:24. > :05:28.believed a burglar and stolen I phone were inside. They were not.
:05:28. > :05:33.Although the police paid for temporary boarding up, Robert has
:05:33. > :05:36.been quoted nearly �500 to repair the door and surround. But the
:05:36. > :05:40.police solicitors have written saying he will not receive
:05:40. > :05:45.compensation because the police reasonably believed an offender was
:05:46. > :05:50.in the house. The stubborn phone had an application called find my
:05:50. > :05:53.phone. This means another computer can use satellite technology to
:05:53. > :05:58.track the phone's location. Nottinghamshire police have told us
:05:59. > :06:03.officers at the scene believed this to be accurate down to 8 ft. But
:06:03. > :06:10.Robert believes it is not. They are not accurate. The firm could have
:06:10. > :06:15.been anywhere between 50 yards. It seems very sparse evidence for
:06:15. > :06:21.breaking down a door. Four we asked a scientist for his assessment of
:06:21. > :06:26.the potential accuracy of satellite phone trackers. 20-50 metres range
:06:26. > :06:31.would be reasonable with existing technologies but that could be
:06:31. > :06:35.improved. Roberts says that assessment backed his beneath the
:06:35. > :06:38.phone could have been up to 50 metres from his house. In a
:06:38. > :06:41.statement the police and officers decided to search his property in
:06:41. > :06:46.good faith with the intention of quickly locating an offender and
:06:46. > :06:51.recovering stolen items. However, that decision was not simply made
:06:51. > :06:55.on the basis of phone tracker information but was taken after
:06:55. > :06:59.speaking to a local residents. Robert still believes he is owed
:06:59. > :07:06.compensation and has referred the case to the Independent Police
:07:06. > :07:10.Complaints Commission. In other news, two people have
:07:10. > :07:17.received lengthy prison sentences for the murder of a man from
:07:17. > :07:21.Leicester. 47-year-old Mark Postles and 55-year-old Margaret Heeley
:07:21. > :07:26.killed John Cogan last year. They then dismembered his body and tried
:07:26. > :07:31.to conceal it in the back garden of Postles's house. They pair were
:07:31. > :07:36.found guilty after a trial in Nottingham Crown Court. Each was
:07:36. > :07:40.sentenced to 22 years in prison. The funeral of a boy and his
:07:40. > :07:45.grandmother who both drowned in a lake took place today. The bodies
:07:45. > :07:52.of Dawn Mullany who were 71 and her grandson known as Laurie were found
:07:52. > :07:56.at Holywell more than a week ago. Family and friends gathered for the
:07:56. > :08:01.service in Ketton in Rutland. A 48-year-old man has been arrested
:08:01. > :08:08.on suspicion of arson with intent following a flat fire in Nottingham.
:08:08. > :08:11.Five crews were called to Bentinck Court. A woman was rescued from the
:08:11. > :08:15.balcony on the 14th floor. No one else was injured or evacuated and
:08:15. > :08:23.the man who was arrested has been released on bail pending further
:08:23. > :08:29.inquiries. It's aims are ambitious, it was to
:08:29. > :08:33.change the lives of hundreds of children. How? By it and Investment
:08:33. > :08:38.to break down the barriers to higher education. The first new
:08:38. > :08:41.learning centre called Nottingham Potential opened this afternoon in
:08:41. > :08:51.Broxtowe and it is backed by one of the region's most successful
:08:51. > :08:55.businessmen. It is a hive of activity here in
:08:55. > :08:58.Broxtowe and it is hoped over the next five years, thousands of
:08:58. > :09:04.inner-city children will benefit from what this centre has to offer
:09:04. > :09:09.and it has been made possible by the backing of a local entrepreneur.
:09:09. > :09:13.It is his chance to give something back. David Ross, co-founder of the
:09:13. > :09:18.Carphone Warehouse, has donated more than �2 million of his own
:09:18. > :09:23.money to inspire the next generation to aspire to university.
:09:23. > :09:28.I was lucky, I enjoyed my time at university. Hopefully I learned a
:09:28. > :09:32.little bit and when I visit schools today and there are children there
:09:32. > :09:37.who are not excited and motivated by what they are doing in school,
:09:37. > :09:42.that is a waste of talent. Nottingham Potential is delivered
:09:42. > :09:46.by the University of Nottingham in partnership with the education
:09:46. > :09:51.charity in to university. It is a long-term project to provide
:09:51. > :09:57.support to children as young as seven in deprived areas. It is
:09:57. > :10:06.really fun coming here. It helps me because I'd get one-to-one
:10:06. > :10:12.attention. It is brilliant because they do not teach children like
:10:12. > :10:17.they taught us at school. They come here and it teaches me as well as
:10:17. > :10:20.them. Nottingham North has one of the lowest take a braids to higher
:10:20. > :10:25.education. This scheme aims to break down the barriers facing many
:10:25. > :10:31.young people in the city. It is about giving children that helping
:10:31. > :10:35.hand outside school, with their academic work but also with a
:10:35. > :10:42.future life goals, helping them apply for universities, colleges
:10:42. > :10:46.and jobs. For a number of families who have not experienced university,
:10:46. > :10:52.the whole thing may be seen as complicated and maybe not directly
:10:52. > :10:55.relevant. Hopefully what schemes like this do is give the children
:10:55. > :11:00.and the family is the exposure and involvement to make them realise
:11:01. > :11:05.this is something they can aspire and achieve. This is the first
:11:05. > :11:09.potential centre, two more will follow. It is a multi-million-pound
:11:09. > :11:15.commitment which could help the -- changed the lives of 15,000
:11:15. > :11:21.children over the next five years. I am joined by Dr Penelope Griffin
:11:21. > :11:25.who runs this project. How do children get on this scheme? Most
:11:25. > :11:31.are from less well-off families, probably their parents had not been
:11:31. > :11:35.to university. How do they get referred? They can come a long
:11:35. > :11:40.themselves or their teachers can tell them about us and refer them.
:11:40. > :11:45.The whole bonus is about getting children to university with course
:11:45. > :11:51.fees rising to 9,000 a year, are you raising unrealistic
:11:51. > :11:57.expectations? The truth is this is a really good time for people from
:11:57. > :12:01.less well-off backgrounds to go to university. They do not have to pay
:12:01. > :12:05.fees and after they have graduated and have a good job. There is
:12:05. > :12:11.support from the government and universities. With the tripling of
:12:11. > :12:14.course fees we have seen a drop in applicants. Is that the case at the
:12:14. > :12:18.University of Nottingham? applications have gone up. Students
:12:18. > :12:23.are thinking carefully about where they apply but it is still a good
:12:23. > :12:33.deal. The message tonight is if you want to find out more about into

:12:38. > :12:41.in Leicester. Not only that - the Queen will be accompanied by the
:12:41. > :12:44.Duchess of Cambridge. As well as the Clock tower and the Cathedral
:12:44. > :12:47.the royal party are visiting De Montfort University where one shoe
:12:47. > :12:50.design student will find out if they've been chosen by the Duchess
:12:50. > :12:58.to make her a pair of shoes. Needless to say - they're all
:12:58. > :13:03.pretty excited at De Mont - and I've been to see them. If fashion
:13:03. > :13:07.is your bag, this is the place to be. We are at to Montfort
:13:07. > :13:11.University School of fashion and textiles. You don't get more of a
:13:11. > :13:15.fashion icon than the Duchess of Cambridge, which is why this place
:13:15. > :13:23.is budging -- buzzing with excitement. We got the phone call
:13:24. > :13:30.three weeks ago, and some of the said would they mind if the Queen
:13:30. > :13:35.launched her Diamond Jubilee tour at our camp has? Many students will
:13:35. > :13:45.be showing their designs in a catwalk show. We are so fortunate.
:13:45. > :13:50.
:13:50. > :13:55.No one gets to meet the Queen, They are six shoe design students
:13:55. > :14:01.who are waiting on tenterhooks. The Duchess is going to choose one of
:14:01. > :14:06.those designers to have the design made up into a shoe that she is
:14:06. > :14:10.going to walk where. You feel like to have already won, because you
:14:10. > :14:16.know she's going to see the design. For there to see it is amazing! I
:14:16. > :14:25.am so excited! It is a bit overwhelming, to be fair. Couple
:14:25. > :14:30.that with a nice dress... That is very sexy. I did my best! What an
:14:30. > :14:33.amazing opportunity for a student, something that they can talk about
:14:33. > :14:37.at interviews, and that will stay with them for the rest of their
:14:37. > :14:43.lives. It is an incredible opportunity for them. The students
:14:43. > :14:50.find out which you has been chosen when the East -- the Queen and
:14:50. > :14:53.Duchess come to the University next week. A woman has been charged with
:14:53. > :14:56.three robberies at bookmakers in Leicester. A member of staff was
:14:56. > :14:59.forced to hand over takings at this bookmakers on Melbourne Road in the

:16:28. > :16:32.this, but many do not want it. do not want someone buying my house
:16:32. > :16:39.to pieces. I am going to have a new kitchen next week, and I do not
:16:39. > :16:44.want them finishing the kitchen and then someone coming in to rip my
:16:44. > :16:51.kitchen to pieces just above the boiling -- boiler in. The change is
:16:51. > :16:54.expected to cost �4.5 million. confident that provided the people
:16:54. > :16:59.use the system efficiently, there is a great chance they will be able
:16:59. > :17:05.to reduce their costs. Is it going to be cheaper? You know what the
:17:05. > :17:10.gas companies are like. Labour grit your face off for �10 of profit. I
:17:10. > :17:15.do not believe it will be cheaper. Our staff will be on hand to help

:17:39. > :17:42.who found himself running to Meadow Lane just in time to play. Its a
:17:42. > :17:45.great story. But I'll start with a fantastic win for Nottingham Forest.
:17:45. > :17:51.The Reds were looking down and out not so long ago but they continued
:17:51. > :17:55.their revival at in-form Birmingham City. Kirsty Edwards reports. The
:17:55. > :17:56.Nottingham Forest manager had every reason to be in a good mood as they
:17:56. > :18:01.arrived at Birmingham. Their side arrived at Birmingham. Their side
:18:01. > :18:08.was about to produce a big shock. Birmingham had not lost at home in
:18:08. > :18:14.the league all season, but Forest are in good form at the moment. How
:18:14. > :18:21.about best that -- Dexter Blackstock? He was in the right
:18:21. > :18:26.place to tuck in the first goal. He has been mainly used as a
:18:27. > :18:31.substitute, but has started the last few games. He had a career
:18:31. > :18:38.threatening him to make -- injury. To come back like that is full
:18:38. > :18:41.credit to him. Birmingham grabbed an equaliser, but Forest, and
:18:41. > :18:48.Dexter Blackstock, were not finished yet. How about this for a
:18:48. > :18:55.winning goal? We are ready pleased for Dexter and his goals. Both
:18:55. > :19:00.teams had a chance to add to their scores. There was -- there was a
:19:00. > :19:06.nervy moment for the Forest defence. We knew it was going to be tough
:19:06. > :19:12.coming here, and they are a very organised side. For us to come here
:19:12. > :19:22.is massive -- come here and get a result is massive for us. Forest
:19:22. > :19:26.
:19:26. > :19:29.are now three points above the then and it's the same for Notts
:19:29. > :19:32.County in league one. New manager Keith Curle kept up his perfect
:19:32. > :19:35.start with another 1-0 win at Meadow Lane. This time against
:19:35. > :19:38.Chesterfield. For one player though it was all a bit of a hair-raising
:19:38. > :19:41.experience. Jon Harley was not named in the team, so he popped out
:19:41. > :19:46.for a haircut. But 15 minutes before kick-off, he got a call from
:19:47. > :19:52.the manager saying he was needed. He said, where are you? For some
:19:52. > :20:00.random reason, I cannot tell him I was having a haircut, I was having
:20:00. > :20:07.a coffee by the ground! He did his warm-up out of the back end of the
:20:07. > :20:11.stadium. One or two people were not happy with the first deliveries,
:20:11. > :20:20.but others happy in the end. As for the game, that was decided in the
:20:20. > :20:30.second half. Alan Judge almost made it 2-0, but he hit the crossbar. He
:20:30. > :20:31.
:20:32. > :20:41.has hit it five times in the last top is a bit longer! I have not
:20:42. > :20:42.
:20:42. > :20:45.quite got that done yet! Batting You can see the action from those
:20:45. > :20:48.two games again on BBC1's Late Kick off tonight which will also have an
:20:48. > :20:50.exclusive feature at home with Derby County captain Shaun Barker.
:20:51. > :20:53.He talks about his obsession for collecting vinyl records and about
:20:53. > :20:56.his amazing parents. That's at 11:05pm tonight. Onto other sport
:20:56. > :20:59.now, starting with an astonishing example of sporting guts from World
:20:59. > :21:02.Superbike rider Leon Haslam. A week ago he broke his leg in a practice
:21:02. > :21:05.crash. But here he is yesterday - leading this group at Australia's
:21:05. > :21:14.Philip Island in the season opener. With the leg pinned together, he
:21:14. > :21:17.finished twelfth in one race and an amazing fifth in the other. In

:21:24. > :21:27.Nice little offload from Murphy here to make sure of Tigers' third
:21:27. > :21:33.try. And in the end there was simply no doubt about their

:21:36. > :21:39.Panthers had another five and a half thousand crowd in the Ice
:21:39. > :21:42.Arena for their six three win over Cardiff Devils on Saturday night.
:21:42. > :21:44.And actually the three goal gap probably doesn't do the Panthers'

:22:30. > :22:33.Everything went well for us today. From theatre to cinema - it's 13
:22:33. > :22:37.years since the idea to create a cultural quarter in Leicester was
:22:37. > :22:40.first put forward. The aim was to regenerate a run down part of the
:22:40. > :22:43.city centre through the arts. Tonight in the first of a new
:22:43. > :22:46.series looking at the State of the Arts in our cities, Geeta Pendse
:22:46. > :22:56.asks - is the cultural quarter thriving or does it still have

:24:19. > :24:22.maybe we should have gone for more Alongside programming, getting
:24:22. > :24:28.people to the cultural quarter is the key. Many people are
:24:28. > :24:33.unconvinced. It is not very nice around here. A lot of people are
:24:33. > :24:40.squarer tears, or where the restaurant is, so I don't think it
:24:40. > :24:43.has been promoted that well yet. Unless -- I think the
:24:43. > :24:49.infrastructure is here, but he is about the people, and if the
:24:49. > :24:53.cultural quarter can put itself any imagination of people, then I think
:24:53. > :24:59.it can deliver. At the moment, I would say the cultural quarter
:25:00. > :25:03.still has to reconnect. It is not just about big venues. These
:25:03. > :25:08.artists are converting a warehouse into studios and the gallery. But
:25:08. > :25:11.they have not felt a part of the cultural quarter. There has been a
:25:11. > :25:16.level of regeneration. They have been a lot of buildings, but it
:25:16. > :25:25.lacks the diversity and the variety which I think a cultural quarter it
:25:25. > :25:31.should have. I figured is only now that people like ourselves are
:25:31. > :25:41.going to be let into the cultural establishment. There is a genuine

:26:19. > :26:23.us your pictures. We started the day on a dry note. We have seen the
:26:23. > :26:31.cloud increasing as we have gone through the afternoon. This warm
:26:31. > :26:35.front is going through the south- east. Some of these outbreaks of
:26:35. > :26:40.rain is -- rain will be heavier at times. It will be heading south-
:26:40. > :26:46.east over the next few hours. It will gradually become dry, however,
:26:46. > :26:51.we are holding on to a lot of cloud. Maybe some rain across the Peak
:26:51. > :26:57.District. These temperatures are what we would expect in the daytime
:26:57. > :27:04.for this time of year! The cloud will break in places to give it
:27:04. > :27:09.some spells of sunshine through the day. It is looking stubborn along
:27:09. > :27:13.Derbyshire and Lincolnshire. Tuesday is expected to be the
:27:13. > :27:17.mildest day of the week. The high pressure stays with us, and we will

:27:31. > :27:38.as we head towards the weekend. But a dark and cold the few days ahead!
