:01:59. > :02:04.year-old girl who was very drunk and led hope -- led her to a
:02:04. > :02:08.secluded area. CCTV footage clearly showed him pushing her along the
:02:08. > :02:12.street. She was stumbling and he was holding her up. He pulled her
:02:12. > :02:18.into this alleyway where he raped her. He then stole her phone. She
:02:18. > :02:22.was stripped naked and unable to call for help. She staggered to
:02:23. > :02:30.Lower Parliament Street where 18- year-old Elliot found her. She was
:02:30. > :02:36.stood there, but naked, saying help me, help me. She said, help me go
:02:36. > :02:44.home. I said come off the road. I gave her my jacket. She said help
:02:44. > :02:50.me, don't let me go. I said to him, come over here. He walked off, I
:02:50. > :02:53.followed him, and he tried to run off. Afterwards, he took her to a

:03:47. > :03:52.brutally raped her and left her helpless.
:03:52. > :03:55.On the response from the Salvation Army, we had a statement. A

:04:32. > :04:35.School is a caravan site tonight. Nine trailers moved into a field
:04:35. > :04:40.protected by wooden stakes. The headteacher asked them to leave,
:04:41. > :04:45.but for now, they are going nowhere. Pupils were kept away from the main
:04:45. > :04:51.entrance to prevent any friction. Now the school is getting legal
:04:51. > :04:54.advice from counsel, but it will still have to find up to �10,000 to
:04:54. > :04:59.clear the site, because Chilwell has foundation status and runs its
:04:59. > :05:04.own budget. I was fuming. This is public money at a time when cuts
:05:04. > :05:08.are in place, and that is a third of a teacher I have got to spend to
:05:08. > :05:12.try to move people on, and I had no choice in this. They just put
:05:12. > :05:15.themselves there. I have no objection to the travel lifestyle,
:05:15. > :05:20.but I'm going to fight this, because I refused to take that
:05:20. > :05:23.money out of my school budget. travellers say they don't want to

:05:35. > :05:40.nice site for us, we will go there. All I want is a sight. I'm getting
:05:40. > :05:43.too old for this now. I would love to settle down. The travellers say
:05:43. > :05:47.they will stay here until they are served with a legal notice. They're
:05:47. > :05:52.expecting to get moved on in a week or two, and they said that before

:09:44. > :09:48.This is Sandiacre lock on the canal in Derbyshire at the centre of the
:09:48. > :09:52.pollution aspect of his major ongoing incident. As you say, the
:09:52. > :09:57.large fire actually began on Saturday night at the would
:09:57. > :10:00.recycling plant at Stanton by Dale. There have been hopes that the fire
:10:00. > :10:05.service could start to scale down its operations there later tonight,
:10:05. > :10:09.but I am told just a short time ago that flames were seen again, and
:10:09. > :10:13.the fire service has had to bring in another crew. Lots of work to be
:10:13. > :10:19.done by the Environment Agency here. Mark, how bad has the pollution
:10:19. > :10:23.been to the fish? It has been quite a big incident. There are a lot of
:10:23. > :10:26.staff on the ground looking after this one. A lot of organic matter
:10:26. > :10:32.from the fire-fighting water has got into the canal. It is
:10:32. > :10:37.unavoidable. It is not toxic, but what it does is it reduces the
:10:37. > :10:43.amount of oxygen in the canal, which means the fish can't breathe.
:10:43. > :10:47.And hundreds have been killed? unfortunately. But we have been
:10:47. > :10:51.oxygenating the water to get more oxygen in there to help the fish.
:10:51. > :10:56.We think we have saved quite a few thousand. But you have another plan
:10:56. > :11:02.as well? We do. Hopefully tomorrow we're going to mobilise a team of
:11:02. > :11:08.people to move the fish, scooped them further up the canal and put
:11:08. > :11:12.them in some fresh water so they can breed there. Mark Haslam from

:11:58. > :12:03.another world first - the birth of baby Oliver, created at Care in
:12:03. > :12:08.Nottingham. A woman had had 30 failed attempts at IVF. She was in

:12:11. > :12:19.embryo transfer that she had with this chromosome test produced baby
:12:19. > :12:24.Oliver. You can't tell through a microscope whether the fertilised
:12:24. > :12:27.embryo has abnormalities, but at Can a developed this test. We want
:12:27. > :12:31.to find out whether the young woman who has to go through IVF for the
:12:31. > :12:36.very first time, if she were to have this chromosome assessment
:12:36. > :12:41.test on her embryos, eliminating those, probably up to 40% that have
:12:41. > :12:45.a chromosomal of an anomaly, would we improve the chances of a healthy
:12:45. > :12:50.life birth? The test involves taking a single cell from the
:12:50. > :12:55.embryo. Human cells have 46 chromosomes, 23 inherited from each
:12:55. > :13:01.parent. Before an egg is fertilised, it ejects half its chromosomes to
:13:01. > :13:03.make way for the 23 coming from the Mail. These discarded chromosomes
:13:03. > :13:08.are a mirror image of those remaining in the end, and it is
:13:08. > :13:14.these that are tested. If the chromosome balance is wrong, the
:13:14. > :13:20.end is discarded. It took three goes at IVF for baby

:21:27. > :21:30.Nottingham, but the England team here, let's face it, was built in
:21:30. > :21:35.Trent Bridge, whether it was Alex Hales who will start things off on
:21:35. > :21:38.the bat or Graeme Swann to tie things down with the spin, and
:21:38. > :21:42.Stuart Broad who has the responsibility of doing just about
:21:42. > :21:46.it a thing. He will become the first England captain ever to lead
:21:46. > :21:51.the team against Afghanistan, and it goes without saying he doesn't
:21:51. > :21:54.want to be the first England captain to lose. We know they are
:21:54. > :21:57.going to be a dangerous side. That is important we don't focus too
:21:57. > :22:04.much on that, and we really look at ourselves and get our disciplines
:22:04. > :22:08.right. We have got some really good players in our unit. This is the
:22:08. > :22:12.biggest test of Stuart Broad's career. Being Twenty20 captain
:22:12. > :22:16.means you really have no time to stop and think about your decisions,
:22:16. > :22:22.and you have to bowl as well. But at least he will have the
:22:22. > :22:26.familiarity of a number of his Notts team mates. Also preparing
:22:26. > :22:29.for a big match are Rugby's Leicester Tigers.
:22:29. > :22:32.They've made an excellent start to the season, but face reigning
:22:32. > :22:34.Champions Harlequins at Welford Road on Saturday. Tigers may look
:22:34. > :22:40.strong, but Director of Rugby Richard Cockerill insists that
:22:40. > :22:45.Quins pose a massive challenge. They are yet again that pace-
:22:46. > :22:50.setters, so we need to make sure that we get it right. We need to
:22:50. > :22:54.try to put that right. But they are a good side, they are playing very
:22:54. > :22:59.well and have started the season very well. A couple of other things
:22:59. > :23:02.briefly. Nottingham Panthers say their match with Sheffield Steelers
:23:03. > :23:06.this weekend is heading for a sell- out. It's the first encounter of
:23:06. > :23:09.the season between the two old rivals. And we need to send good
:23:09. > :23:12.luck wishes to cyclist Lucy Garner. Today she turned 18. Tomorrow she
:23:12. > :23:20.defends her World Junior Road Race title in Holland. It's not her
:23:20. > :23:24.ideal course, but hopes are still high. And today marks the
:23:24. > :23:27.anniversary of the death of Brian Clough.
:23:27. > :23:31.The Olympic Games have of course finished, but it seems people still
:23:31. > :23:33.can't get enough of London 2012. So much so that momentoes from the
:23:33. > :23:37.Athletes' Village and other venues are being bought by excited
:23:37. > :23:41.souvenir-hunters. Now a Nottingham firm has the Olympic-size task of
:23:41. > :23:51.delivering the goods to their buyers. We sent Carol Hinds to find
:23:51. > :23:53.
:23:53. > :23:57.Welcome to a warehouse full of items from the Olympic Games. They
:23:57. > :24:02.have been bought through an online sale by people wanting a memento of
:24:02. > :24:07.London 2012. The task of sending the furniture, fittings and
:24:07. > :24:11.equipment to their Byers has been won by Nottingham company.
:24:11. > :24:16.Currently in the system there is just in excess of 7,000 orders, and
:24:17. > :24:21.some of those are for single items, some for multiple items. It is a
:24:21. > :24:25.bit like a giant jigsaw puzzle. You can't complete the jigsaw puzzle
:24:25. > :24:30.until all the pieces are on the table for you. Where a customer
:24:30. > :24:34.wants one item, that is easy. As soon as the item comes in, we can
:24:34. > :24:37.dispatch it. But if that customer wants, for instance, a bean bag of
:24:37. > :24:42.one of these chairs, we have to wait for the other piece of the
:24:42. > :24:46.jigsaw to come together before we can dispatch both items. And it's
:24:46. > :24:51.amazing what has been snapped up - everything from coat-hangers to
:24:51. > :24:54.this umpire's chair. New balls, please! The Games are over, but
:24:54. > :24:58.there are still plenty of action in the Olympic village. The apartments
:24:58. > :25:02.that were used by the likes of Chris Hoy and Rebecca Adlington
:25:02. > :25:06.will be rented, while everything else that made these flats an
:25:06. > :25:11.athlete's home away from home is being sold off. Among the most
:25:11. > :25:19.popular items are these green bean bags. I wonder if Mo Farah sat
:25:19. > :25:25.here? This could be a share -- a chair that Usain Bolt satin,
:25:25. > :25:29.Jessica Ennis, Tom Daley, we don't know. I am told that the sale is
:25:29. > :25:39.still on, so you've got time to buy an item from the athletes village
:25:39. > :25:39.
:25:39. > :25:44.It is worth a punt! There could be a gold medal stuffed down the back
:25:44. > :25:53.of the sofa. It is unlikely, I would say.
:25:53. > :25:56.Whether time now. Is the autumn We are keeping an eye on this,
:25:56. > :26:05.because it is yacht not yet confirmed that we will be seeing
:26:05. > :26:12.some wetter weather. We have seen some lovely clear skies over the
:26:12. > :26:18.last few days, but it might seem like a distant memory at the moment.
:26:18. > :26:22.Please keep your weather pictures coming in. As far as tonight is
:26:22. > :26:29.concerned, we have a band of rain sitting to the north of the country.
:26:29. > :26:32.It has been producing some showery bursts of rain throughout the day.
:26:33. > :26:38.For the showers are starting to diminish, but we then see them
:26:38. > :26:42.replaced by rain coming down from the north. A minimum temperature
:26:42. > :26:47.tonight at 11 Celsius. Tomorrow morning, that front is slowly going
:26:47. > :26:52.to work its way southwards. It is weakening as it comes up against
:26:52. > :26:58.high pressure, probably producing the odd heavy burst. Coming in
:26:58. > :27:03.behind it, a clearer skies. Daytime temperature tomorrow under a
:27:03. > :27:06.westerly breeze probably around 14 Celsius, but cold temperatures
:27:06. > :27:10.Friday-night into the early hours of Saturday, and that is due to the
:27:10. > :27:15.high pressure. We could quite easily go down to about three
:27:15. > :27:20.Celsius in rural areas. This also puts us in good stead for a nice
:27:20. > :27:24.day on Saturday. It will feel a little fresh at times, and daytime
:27:24. > :27:34.temperature of around 14 Celsius. But by the time we get to Sunday,
:27:34. > :27:36.
