:01:08. > :01:13.offered the leadership of Nottingham City Council the chance
:01:13. > :01:15.to sit at the cabinet table in Number 10.
:01:15. > :01:21.However, that tempting offer depends on Nottingham's voters
:01:21. > :01:25.backing plans, in a referendum, for a directly-elected city mayor.

:03:47. > :03:52.in public at this reception, but it has been a hugely controversial
:03:52. > :03:57.issue. The new pay deal for the city mayor of Leicester has been
:03:57. > :04:00.set at �65,000. There was a huge row when an independent panel
:04:00. > :04:03.suggested a salary in excess of �100,000. The whole controversy

:05:52. > :05:57.He was also asked about cash payments for work done on his
:05:57. > :06:02.properties. Neil Greatrex explained to the court how he paid for work

:06:38. > :06:42.And it was not wrong about today, look at the lingering sunshine

:10:48. > :10:56.stays or not and they have already got the property up for sale. It is
:10:56. > :11:00.an absolute kick in the gut. Instead of asking what we would
:11:00. > :11:03.like first, they have gone and pulled the rug from under our feet.
:11:04. > :11:07.To tell us that nothing has been decided and then for us to find out
:11:07. > :11:12.that they have already been advertising this place for sale, it
:11:12. > :11:15.is disgusting. But the council insists the decision to advertise
:11:15. > :11:20.the lease does not undermine the consultation process. We are
:11:20. > :11:23.looking at to might move in their at the time -- as the same time we
:11:23. > :11:27.are doing the consultation. If the two do not come together, it will
:11:27. > :11:33.not happen, but we cannot wait until we finish the consultation.
:11:33. > :11:37.We have a year to make �1 million of savings. This has gone way
:11:37. > :11:41.beyond the gauging of interest, it has put the whole market up for

:12:49. > :12:53.The staff know each person individually. They cater what they

:13:05. > :13:10.planning to transfer the services here to general day centres across
:13:10. > :13:15.the county. It is spending �7 million up grading 14 centres, but
:13:15. > :13:21.campaigners say they will not offer the specialist services that are
:13:21. > :13:25.here. People like Phil who has been using
:13:25. > :13:31.it for months. He is worried about sharing his care. I could not cope
:13:32. > :13:36.with that. It is not because I dislike other people, but it can
:13:36. > :13:40.make you be overwhelmed. But the council says the fears are
:13:40. > :13:44.unfounded and the new centres will mean dementia care is expanding.

:15:48. > :15:57.It feels a long way from the East Midlands, but people in this city

:16:00. > :16:04.designer from Nottingham has made it feel like home.
:16:04. > :16:14.It seems the Japanese cannot get enough of his English style. More
:16:14. > :16:21.than 40 % of his worldwide business is in Japan.
:16:21. > :16:27.He likes the accessory collection which is simple but queued.
:16:27. > :16:33.TRANSLATION: She likes English a lot. She likes the way they dress
:16:33. > :16:40.in a nice way which which -- which we do not have in Japan. In the
:16:40. > :16:46.shop, you can feel that. For the first time, Paul Smith is
:16:46. > :16:49.designing specific clothing just for the Japanese.
:16:49. > :16:53.Like this three-dimensional womenswear. You do not need glasses
:16:53. > :16:59.to see that it is worth adapting their brand to this market. Back in
:16:59. > :17:04.Derbyshire, John Smedley is also tailoring its knitwear for Tokyo,
:17:04. > :17:08.and sizing is a particular issue. The sleeves are up slightly shorter
:17:08. > :17:12.and the chest with is more-or-less the same, but the sleeve and the
:17:12. > :17:15.body length change. We probably do about six or seven different
:17:15. > :17:20.colours per style. They seem to work very well for their market.
:17:20. > :17:28.It is not just the finished product, but the history, the Heritage, that
:17:28. > :17:37.is making the East Midlands so popular in the Far East.
:17:37. > :17:42.A little closer to home now! Visitors to a stately home get a �6
:17:42. > :17:52.million a welcome. Apparently Bess of Hardwick would approve, we have
:17:52. > :17:58.
:17:58. > :18:01.been told. Another day, another local derby.
:18:01. > :18:10.They've come thick and fast. This time its Nottingham Forest's trip
:18:10. > :18:12.to Leicester City. Forest looking to get three points nearer to
:18:12. > :18:15.safety, the Foxes, three points nearer the play-offs. The world of
:18:15. > :18:19.football is a small one and former team-mates usually end up facing
:18:19. > :18:21.each other at some point. There are some prime examples of that tonight,
:18:21. > :18:31.notably Leicester defender Wes Morgan. He's set to line up against
:18:31. > :18:32.
:18:32. > :18:38.his old side for the very first time. Kirsty Edwards has more.
:18:38. > :18:41.It may be the strange before Forest fans to see where small then in a
:18:42. > :18:51.Leicestershire at. But as far as his former manager is concerned,
:18:51. > :18:55.there will be no hard feelings. is gone, he went with our best
:18:55. > :18:59.wishes. Probably without selling him, we might have been in trouble.
:18:59. > :19:02.Enough has been said about us being able to bring players in and
:19:03. > :19:11.strengthen the team. We have a lot to thank him for.
:19:11. > :19:16.He is not the only Leicester player to move about. Top lad, I have a
:19:16. > :19:20.lot of time thin, good player. It would be nice if we could have him
:19:20. > :19:25.here, but I don't think we could afford him. It will be good to see
:19:25. > :19:31.him again. Respect is definitely mutual, although Nugent all be
:19:31. > :19:35.looking to put one over his old boss. He is a good manager and it
:19:35. > :19:39.will be tough, but it will be a good test. Hopefully we can get the
:19:39. > :19:45.three points. Over the years, you could barely
:19:45. > :19:50.separate them. They have played each other won a one times together.
:19:50. > :20:00.The foxes were ahead by one win. -- 101 times. How will that statistic
:20:00. > :20:05.look after tonight? We got a great result last time. Beat them last
:20:05. > :20:08.season with Portsmouth 6-1. I suppose it had to even out
:20:08. > :20:12.somewhere along the line. Hopefully if I can get back to the record I
:20:12. > :20:16.had before their game, or we will be delighted. All friendships will
:20:16. > :20:26.be forgotten come kick-off tonight with both sides desperate for all
:20:26. > :20:32.
:20:32. > :20:35.Let's talk to the former Leicester captain now. Everyone kept
:20:35. > :20:41.mentioning that FA Cup game, but that was a long time ago, in
:20:42. > :20:46.January. A season will go quickly now. It was only five weeks ago but
:20:46. > :20:50.it does seem like a long time ago. It was a massive game for be teams
:20:50. > :20:56.tonight. Is it that they? Are Leicester serious about the play-
:20:56. > :21:00.offs? I have not given up. Have you? Now permit -- mathematically
:21:00. > :21:05.there are points available. Five points adrift now. People have been
:21:05. > :21:08.saying to me that the season is over, but I do not see it that way.
:21:08. > :21:16.Lest they have got to take each game as it comes. Every game is a
:21:16. > :21:20.cup final. Briefly, how much pressure is wares more than under?
:21:20. > :21:25.He will handle the situation. He is a good player, very reliable and
:21:25. > :21:30.has a lot of respect. Not just from the Leicester fans. It is a big
:21:30. > :21:35.game in and I am sure he will enjoy it. Thank you for joining us. The
:21:35. > :21:37.game's all know that tonight. Nottingham Panthers play off
:21:38. > :21:40.quarter final first leg is tonight against Braehead in Glasgow. It's
:21:40. > :21:43.come round quick! Result in our late bulletin tonight.
:21:43. > :21:46.And in cricket, England were bowled out for just 193 in Sri Lanka but
:21:46. > :21:48.Nottinghamshire's bowlers are leading the fightback. Stuart Broad
:21:48. > :21:53.took an early wicket before his Notts team-mate Graeme Swann took
:21:54. > :21:57.the next four. The marvellous spell from Swanee has Sri Lanka all in a
:21:57. > :22:03.spin at 84 for five. And with Jayawardene out, who knows who'll
:22:03. > :22:06.win the game now? The game here at the King Power is
:22:07. > :22:10.also completely up for grabs. Two teams who've started scoring goals
:22:10. > :22:18.and entertaining. Lets see what the fans think. Paul Bradshaw's been
:22:18. > :22:22.finding out. It has been an inconsistent season
:22:22. > :22:30.so far, but tonight it is all about the local passion. What will these
:22:30. > :22:40.Corby? 2-0 to it City. It has been a long month of games, but I think
:22:40. > :22:40.
:22:41. > :22:45.we will keep going. A good win at the weekend so it 2-0. Good stuff.
:22:45. > :22:50.Forest put seven past Leeds. would not put a bet on another
:22:50. > :22:55.seven, but I think a revenge of 4-0 would be good. That is quite
:22:55. > :22:59.important to get a bit of pride back after that. That was
:22:59. > :23:06.embarrassing to say the least. I am going for a Forest win. To do zero
:23:07. > :23:08.would be nice. -- a 2-0. We are hoping for an entertaining game
:23:08. > :23:11.tonight. So, Leicester City versus
:23:11. > :23:14.Nottingham Forest. Foxes still harbouring faint play-off hopes.
:23:14. > :23:21.Forest nearly safe but not quite. BBC Radio Leicester and BBC Radio
:23:21. > :23:26.Nottingham both with full commentary.
:23:26. > :23:29.Don't worry about me sitting here, I am thus keeping it warm for the
:23:29. > :23:34.people who are waiting to be entertained. A real prospect
:23:34. > :23:36.tonight. Thank you very much indeed.
:23:36. > :23:39.Exciting stuff! Visitors to one of our finest
:23:39. > :23:42.stately homes will get a whole new experience when they arrive -
:23:42. > :23:45.thanks to a � 6 million makeover. The stable-yard at Hardwick hall
:23:46. > :23:48.will not only house new restaurants and shops, but will also act as a
:23:49. > :23:51.gateway to the estate in Derbyshire. As James Roberson reports, the Duke
:23:51. > :24:00.of Devonshire says his ancestor, Bess of Hardwick, would have been
:24:00. > :24:04.proud. It is a way of arriving he ate
:24:04. > :24:07.never before favoured by Dukes, but the Duke of Devonshire came this
:24:07. > :24:12.way to the stately home in north Derbyshire to see the radical
:24:12. > :24:17.changes that have been brought in the stable yard. They are the
:24:17. > :24:20.culmination of a seven-year project to redevelop the visitors' entrance.
:24:20. > :24:25.These buildings have been on the at-risk register for some time and
:24:25. > :24:28.we wanted to do the basic repairs. But then it was to get them into a
:24:28. > :24:32.good use. You are going to come up the drive as you have done for
:24:32. > :24:37.years, but then go left and go around the back so people will see
:24:37. > :24:42.ague they have never seen before. For more than two years, the stable
:24:42. > :24:45.yard has been a building site, but now it is almost complete thanks to
:24:45. > :24:49.the �6.5 million that has been found to renovate the buildings
:24:49. > :24:54.into shops and restaurants. Visitors can hire the cottages and
:24:55. > :24:58.enjoy a new vistas. This is an investment that not Ali looks after
:24:58. > :25:02.this important historical building, but gives Hardwick a viable
:25:02. > :25:05.financial future by ensuring that people who come they can have the
:25:05. > :25:09.facilities that of fantastic quality, but have access to one of
:25:09. > :25:12.the best houses in the country. There are at least six new things
:25:12. > :25:18.that have been invented false stop opening the development, the Duke
:25:18. > :25:21.said that his ancestor, Bess of Hardwick, would have been pleased
:25:21. > :25:25.by the renovation. I think she would have been
:25:25. > :25:35.thrilled because she loved value- for-money, so to see these
:25:35. > :25:40.buildings, which were falling into dereliction, she would have been
:25:40. > :25:43.thrilled with that. While the House will only be open from February to
:25:43. > :25:51.October and during early December, the new stable yard will be open
:25:51. > :25:53.all year round and bring you access to the estate as well.
:25:53. > :26:03.Doesn't it look gorgeous in the sunshine?
:26:03. > :26:07.
:26:07. > :26:11.It looks lovely. Alan was saying What a glorious day, as it has been
:26:11. > :26:15.over the East Midlands, it will be continuing until the temperature
:26:15. > :26:24.cools towards the end of the week. Overnight it will be quite chilly
:26:24. > :26:30.under the clear skies. First photo of tonight now. The next one,
:26:30. > :26:36.beautifully backed by the blue skies. A final photo, thank you for
:26:36. > :26:39.sending it in. The reason for the settled conditions is the high
:26:39. > :26:44.pressure which is sitting right across the UK now and will continue
:26:44. > :26:50.to dominate for at least the next 24 hours before things start to
:26:50. > :26:53.change. It means overnight, we are dry, settled, we have clear skies.
:26:53. > :26:59.Underneath these guys, temperatures will suddenly fall very quickly so
:26:59. > :27:02.a chilly night ahead. Temperatures down to two or three degrees. The
:27:02. > :27:05.coldest temperatures will be in north Derbyshire way you could see
:27:05. > :27:08.a frost and some patches of mist and fog. That will quickly left in
:27:08. > :27:15.the morning and we are in for another stunning day tomorrow.
:27:15. > :27:21.Clear, blue, sunny skies and a high temperature of 23 degrees. Tamara
:27:21. > :27:24.is going to be the hottest day of the week. Looking further ahead, on
:27:24. > :27:28.Thursday the high-pressure starts to slip away so you will notice
:27:28. > :27:33.things being cooler on Thursday. The temperatures will continue to
:27:33. > :27:37.come down torts the weekend. Still sunny.
