Anne Davies and me, Dominic Heale. Tonight - a Derbyshire schoolboy | :00:06. | :00:16. | |
:00:16. | :00:18. | ||
drowns on a family holiday to France. Tributes have been paid to | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
16-year-old Kieran Knight, described by his family as our much loved son | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
and happy, lovely young man. Also tonight, three men go in trial | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
in Leicester accused of paying for sex with a child. | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
Plus, the grandfather who was diagnosed with testicular cancer at | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
the age of 27. And the root of the problem, how | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
fungus felled tree and almost flattened house. | :00:51. | :00:59. | |
Good evening. Welcome to Monday's programme. First tonight - a family | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
have paid tribute to their "much loved son" who drowned after | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
swimming off the coast of south west France on a summer holiday. | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
16-year-old Kieran Knight from Derbyshire disappeared after getting | :01:09. | :01:17. | |
into difficulty swimming with his father. Sarah Teale reports. | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
The Knight family had been enjoying a holiday on the Atlantic coast of | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
south west France. It's believed 16-year-old Kieran had been swimming | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
in the sea with his father near the town of Messanges when he got into | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
difficulties and couldn't get back to shore. A patrol boat and three | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
helicopters were scrambled in the search for him, but couldn't rescue | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
him. Kieran, from Newhall in South Derbyshire, had just finished his | :01:41. | :01:51. | |
:01:51. | :01:52. | ||
last year at the William Allitt Secondary School. I have spoken to | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
teachers this morning, and they are devastated by this news. It is | :01:56. | :02:05. | |
dreadful for them actually, just to lose a child like that. Tell me what | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
Kieran was like. He was very popular, and a good student. | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
Tributes have also been paid to Kieran on social network sites, one | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
calling him one of life's good guys, are bright, lovely young man who | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
will be missed. Today, the foreign office issued a statement on behalf | :02:27. | :02:36. | |
:02:37. | :02:54. | ||
of Kieran's family -- Kieran's Kieran went missing last Wednesday. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
Rescue teams spent several days searching for him. The foreign | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
office confirmed that his body was found on Saturday. They said they | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
were offering his family all the help they needed at this difficult | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
time. Three men have gone on trial accused | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
of paying for sex with a child. The 16-year-old Sikh girl from Leicester | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
was described as very damaged and vulnerable. | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
The three men deny 22 counts against the teenager. The charges also | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
include trafficking and child prostitution. Let's cross to our | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
Chief News reporter Quentin Rayner, who's in Leicester. | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
Tell us about the background to this case. This goes back to a two-month | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
period between November last year and January of this year. A chance | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
meeting between one of the defendants and the-year-old girl at | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
a festival led to her having sex with up to six men and being paid. | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
Three of men -- three of them deny 22 counts. They are accused of | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
paying sex -- paying for sex with a child, and two of the men with | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
trafficking had to several locations and introducing her for sex with | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
others. What form did the exportation take? The men would | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
arrange to meet her, and she would be driven to various locations | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
around Leicester including public parts, -- parks, flats and | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
bed-and-breakfast. She would be given alcohol and cannabis before | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
being paid �20 for sex. On one occasion one of the men told her, if | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
you keep me happy, I will keep you happy. Afterwards, she was driven | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
back to her college, but she also began to get bombarded with calls | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
and texts from men she did not know. What the court hear about the girl | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
in this case? The jury was told, and she was described to them is very | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
damaged girl who self harmed and took cannabis. But prior to meeting | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
these men, the court was told she was offering sex to boys at her | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
college for �20. The jury was told the teenager made it abundantly | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
clear to the men what her age was. She also made it plain that she was | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
a prostitute, and that she had told them she had entered a business | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
relationship with them. How did the police become involved? By January | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
of this year, both the family -- her family and the Sikh community became | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
increasingly concerned. A group attacked a local restaurant where | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
the 16-year-old girl had had sex with some of the men at a flat | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
there. That brought the police in, and the full extent of what is | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
alleged to have happened came to light. Three other men have already | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
pleaded guilty to related charges, and this trial is expected to last | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
up to three weeks. A council is to check big trees near | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
houses, after an ash fell and damaged a couple's home. The owners | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
of the house in Melton Mowbray say they could have been killed if | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
they'd been in their garden. The council's requested a report from a | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
tree surgeon to establish exactly why it came down. Carol Hinds | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
reports. It's the unexpected feature that has | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
left Wayne and Sharon Kimberlin unharmed but shocked. The ash tree | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
which had stood on neighbouring council land came crashing into | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
their garden in the early hours of Saturday morning. There was a | :06:43. | :06:53. | |
rumbling noise, I shut the tap and a rumbling continued, following by a | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
large crash. Things could have been so much different if it had happened | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
a couple of hours later. We could have been outside in the garden, and | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
first instinct was -- would be to run towards the house for safety | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
which would have been the worst thing to have done. We sell -- row | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
we have something like 8,000 trees in the borough. In any one year we | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
would expect 250 to 700 trees individually and group. This tree | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
was inspected in 2011, and it was our plan to be inspected this year. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
The borough council say that when the ash was last expected Royal | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
Wolverhampton NHS Trust inspected, there was nothing to suggest a | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
problem with the tree. A tree surgeon has been at this morning, | :07:42. | :07:50. | |
and we have asked for a full report. The Kimberlins say they're just | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
looking forward to getting their garden back to normal. | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
But nothing can be done until the ash is removed, and that may still | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
take a few days, as the council has been told a crane will be needed to | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
remove it. The borough council says it now | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
plans a review of similar trees in similar locations, to see if any | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
more may be vulnerable. Still to come - any more storms on | :08:14. | :08:23. | |
the horizon? Kaye's on downpour duty. I have my eyes fixed to the | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
radar image. We have had some nasty storms across parts of | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
Leicestershire today, and we still have a yellow weather warning in | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
force. All the details later in the programme. | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
Two men have been charged in connection with the murder of a man | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
who was discovered at a house in Grantham at the weekend. | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
30-year old Daniel Walsh was found at Edinburgh Road in the early hours | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
of Sunday morning. He died later in Grantham Hospital. Two men aged 24 | :08:56. | :09:05. | |
and 21, who are both from Barrowby, have been remanded in custody. | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
Mairead Philpott and Paul Mosley have been told their appeals against | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
the length of their prison sentence have been thrown out. | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Mairead Philpott was jailed for 17 years in April for her part in the | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
manslaughter of her six children in a fire in Derby. Paul Mosley, a | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
family friend, was given the same sentence. A judge at the Court of | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
Appeal has refused permission for the application from the pair to go | :09:27. | :09:37. | |
:09:37. | :09:37. | ||
forward. Mairead's husband Mick was given a 30-year life sentence. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
Cab drivers have criticised the planning of Nottingham's five-week | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
railway station close-down. They say customers can't find their new | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
temporary taxi rank - and that's contributing to a huge drop in | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
income. The City Council says new signs will be put up this week, and | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
insists the short-term disruption will be worth it in the long run. | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
Mike O'Sullivan has this report. Taxi drivers say their custom has | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
dropped dramatically since the disruption started just over a week | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
ago at Nottingham railway station. It's being closed for five weeks for | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
�100 million of engineering work, and replacement buses laid on. Some | :10:14. | :10:22. | |
taxi drivers say this is a hugely difficult period for them. They are | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
not coming to the train station because they know it is closed. That | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
is the problem. They told the people in advance, don't bother coming to | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
the station because of the work, and people are not coming. The customers | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
do not know where we are, and we are overcrowding because there are not | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
many spaces we can park. The hackney cabbies say they used to | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
have around 60 parking spots on Station Street. Now, they have | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
around 20 on Station Street and another dozen or so on Queen's Road. | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
One taxi driver took me to the Queen's Road rank - claiming many | :10:58. | :11:08. | |
:11:08. | :11:08. | ||
passengers don't know it's there. See how far away from the exit, and | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
there are no signs whatsoever telling passengers that taxes are | :11:12. | :11:21. | |
waiting on the left-hand side for you. Well, surely they can see there | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
a taxi service here. But people still do not know. -- most people | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
still do not know. East Midlands Parkway near Kegworth | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
has become the hub for Nottingham's London services. But the Nottingham | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
station taxi drivers can't base themselves at the Parkway because of | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
their licensing conditions. The City Council says they have | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
ambassadors around to direct members of the public to a taxi. It's also | :11:48. | :11:57. | |
:11:58. | :12:11. | ||
agreed to provide additional signing to the taxi rank on Queens Road. | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
Police want people to contact them with information after a teenage | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
girl was sexually assaulted. Tichfield Park in Mansfield was | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
cordoned off at the weekend. A 15-year-old told police she was | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
attacked there late on Friday night. She's given officers a description | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
of her attacker. Detectives want anyone who saw anything suspicious | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
to contact them. A record number of parks in the East Midlands have been | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
recognised by their -- row for their quality. They have been given a | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
coveted greenfly award. The University of Nottingham's Jubilee | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
campus is among the first time winners. Keep Britain tidy say they | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
are delighted that the region still boasts so many World Cup public | :12:48. | :12:57. | |
spaces. Still to come, a full round-up of the weekend's sport, and | :12:57. | :13:07. | |
:13:07. | :13:18. | ||
find out what our twin towns have ever done for us. Next - the latest | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
figures show the most common cancer in men is now survived by nearly all | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
who have it. 160 men a year in this region are diagnosed with testicular | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
cancer. But only around half a dozen of them will now die. Navtej Johal | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
reports. This is a scene that Tim Parkes thought he might never see. | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
The now retired grandfather was diagnosed with testicular cancer | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
aged just 27. That was back in 1984 when survival rates were | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
significantly lower. On the ward you make friends, and you get quite | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
close to people in there. And then you see those people around you | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
dying. Today, thanks to more advanced research and improvements | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
to treatment, 96% of men survived testicular cancer, an increase of | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
30% in the last 40 years. In the East Midlands, around 160 men are | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
diagnosed every year, and one former surgeon says the national figures | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
are reflected in our region as well. Survival rates in the East | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
Midlands have really improved, and it is very uncommon for people to | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
die from testicular cancer now. Pete -- patients to present earlier, and | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
it is uncommon for them to present with really big lumps now, and the | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
effectiveness of changing drug regimes has helped. Testicular | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
cancer is still the most common cancer among young men. Tim Parkes | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
wants to make sure more of them keep beating the disease. If you do not | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
go to the doctors, you will be one of the 4%, it is better being one of | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
the 96% who has gone early, and you might not even need the drugs. | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
Next tonight, the first of three special reports on civic twinning. | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
Yes - your town or village is probably twinned with somewhere, | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
probably in Europe. The idea's been around for decades - but what do we | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
get from it? And can we still afford it? Derby, for example, spends | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
�35,000 a year on its twinning arrangements with a German city. A | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
lot of money. In his first report, Tom Brown travelled to Germany to | :15:26. | :15:36. | |
:15:36. | :15:43. | ||
find out if it's worth it. The signs are there. In parks, | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
streets and even Nottingham station. But how much do we actually know | :15:46. | :15:56. | |
:15:56. | :16:01. | ||
about our twin towns? Have you ever heard of Derby? No, I have not. | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
Why do they have to spend a lot of money anyway? I think it is an | :16:08. | :16:18. | |
:16:18. | :16:18. | ||
excellent idea. I am visiting the three German partners of our cities. | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
My journey begins at the top of the church tower, a group visiting from | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
Derby are being given a birds eye view of their German twin. | :16:26. | :16:35. | |
You can see the house where I live from here. Followed by a reception | :16:35. | :16:43. | |
at the hostel at town Hall. This trip has been arranged by the two | :16:43. | :16:50. | |
envoys of the time. Rob has been sent here to promote | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
Derby as part of the city Council's annual twinning budget of �35,000. | :16:56. | :17:04. | |
These houses... Anti-Morsi's council pays marina to | :17:04. | :17:13. | |
come to Derby. But does having an envoy to value for money? It is an | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
expense that is worth it and pays for itself. It brings so much money | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
into the economy from private tourists. We do not want to be a | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
useless expense, we want to bring money in. | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
But despite the envoys, the real benefits of twinning have not always | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
been easy to find. There is the odd name on a sign, and the occasional | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
council gift. Three years ago, the relationship almost came to an end. | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
Right back row with budget cuts beginning to bite, the city Council | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
in Derby was contemplating cutting the envoys system and ending almost | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
four decades of twinning, but under pressure from here in anti-Morsi, | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
they decided to keep it and both time-saver twinning is as strong as | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
ever. Part of the envoys role is to | :18:07. | :18:16. | |
attract students to do work placements in Derby. Derby City | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
Council says the money the students spent alone pays for almost all of | :18:21. | :18:31. | |
:18:31. | :18:33. | ||
its twinning budget. At first I contacted lots of times and they | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
said no, and she helped me to find the place here. So you are both here | :18:39. | :18:46. | |
because of the twinning links? It is money that would not be spent | :18:46. | :18:56. | |
:18:56. | :18:57. | ||
in Derby. -- would have been spent in Derby. The envoys say they help | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
boost tourism, attract trade, and give people the chance to experience | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
a whole new culture. You will find plenty of people who say twinning is | :19:07. | :19:14. | |
worth the money. For the friendship between England and Germany. | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
Tomorrow, Tom is in Leicester's German twin town of Krefeld. | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
And we must mention Andy Mayer - the cameraman on this series - for | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
without him there would be no pictures! Time now for the sport. | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
First, Derby County have confirmed the signing of Tottenham Hotspur | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
defender Adam Smith on a season-long loan. The 22-year-old replaces John | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
Brayford at right-back, after he left Derby for Cardiff last week. | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
Smith, who's an England under-21 international, already has over 100 | :19:41. | :19:51. | |
:19:51. | :19:52. | ||
Football League appearances to his name. Today there was a signing | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
session in the club shop. Hundreds of fans turned out to see them. | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
Derby fans have high hopes about the new campaign. Hopefully a top six | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
finish. I am really excited about it. Hopefully we will get at least | :20:10. | :20:20. | |
:20:20. | :20:21. | ||
in the play-offs. The pre-season has been helpful. Hopefully we will do | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
it this time. Well, five days to go now until the | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
big kick off and we are counting down to the season with features on | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
all our teams. Starting tonight with Leicester City, who in preparation | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
for Saturday played a pre-season friendly with Monaco at the weekend. | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
Monaco have spent �200 million on international stars, as James | :20:37. | :20:47. | |
:20:47. | :20:56. | ||
Championship season. But on Saturday it was all about Leicester versus | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
Monaco. A mammoth task lay ahead. Logic says we will get destroyed, | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
but you always believe, don't you? You'd think, we can do this. It is | :21:11. | :21:21. | |
:21:21. | :21:27. | ||
going to be 3-1. I think it will be 2-2. Monaco's manager fielded a | :21:27. | :21:37. | |
:21:37. | :21:38. | ||
strong side with many of his big hitters starting the game. | :21:38. | :21:48. | |
:21:48. | :21:48. | ||
City started the game the brighter of the two teams. Eight minutes put | :21:48. | :21:58. | |
:21:58. | :22:02. | ||
the visitors won - nil up. -- one goal up. | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
The margin of victory did not flatter Leicester. I don't think we | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
created enough opportunities today to make it competitive enough, which | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
I would have expected us to do, but having said that it has still been a | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
worthwhile exercise. This season is about to start. Not quite the result | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
Leicester City wanted, but Nigel Pearson's men cannot be too down on | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
themselves. In cricket, Nottinghamshire batsman | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
James Taylor looks ever more likely to play for England in the third | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
Ashes test against Australia. He hit an unbeaten 121 against Australia | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
while on loan at Sussex. Taylor is likely to replace Kevin Pietersen, | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
who's carrying an injury. Taylor's regular team mates at Notts | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
were doing him proud in his absence - they booked a home T20 | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
quarterfinal with a demolition of Lancashire Lightning. In the clash | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
of the North Group's top two the Outlaws got off to the best possible | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
start, with some huge hitting and a brilliant 82 from the previously out | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
of form Alex Hales. They set Lightning a big total to chase, and | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
the visitors never really got close - undone by a personal best | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
five-wicket haul from Graeme White, and some top notch fielding too. | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
This piece of brilliance from Steven Mullaney. Opponents and date to be | :23:22. | :23:29. | |
confirmed later in the week. Leicestershire finished their T20 | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
campaign on a high - thrashing Yorkshire. They finished fourth in | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
the group. But Derbyshire, after hauling themselves into quarterfinal | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
contention at one point, finished a disappointing fifth. They were | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
beaten at Durham yesterday. Our Paralympic athletes Richard | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
Whitehead, Libby Clegg and Dan Greaves all made triumphant returns | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
to the Olympic Stadium in the Anniversary Games. But | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
Loughborough's Jonnie Peacock now knows he faces real competition over | :23:51. | :24:01. | |
:24:01. | :24:04. | ||
the next few years. It was a brief return to the glory | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
days of last summer, the anniversary games giving Richard Whitehead | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
another chance to tease us all with a slow start before charging to | :24:14. | :24:24. | |
:24:24. | :24:33. | ||
victory. Another packed crowd, with Libby Clegg claiming victory. As for | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
Jonnie Peacock, he was never going to win this. The man who finished | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
second, Richard Brown, is his competitor, and he broke the world | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
record for his class. It is a rivalry that will run all the way to | :24:47. | :24:55. | |
real. -- Rio de Janeiro. The football season is approaching | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
fast, so we have all those pieces this week. | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
I cant believe it! It is still some time. | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
Something else that is unbelievable Something else that is unbelievable | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
is the weather. We were on course for one of the | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
driest July months on record, but this week has put a stop to that. We | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
have footage of some flash flooding, on the Nottingham Road last week. We | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
have had lots of reports of flooding this week, and similar pictures | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
across the East Midlands. We have made up for that drives start of the | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
month, but we have had exceptional rainfall amounts over four inches of | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
rain have fallen. 106 millimetres in a week in market Bosworth, and we | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
are not done just yet. We have a daisy chain of weather fronts in the | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
Atlantic, sweeping in over the next few days. Tomorrow we are going to | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
see some lively downpours again, heavy rain through Wednesday as | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
well. But there will be some sunshine in between those showers, | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
and it is warming up once again for the end of the week. It has been all | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
about the thunderstorms today, and nasty band across the Leicestershire | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
area this afternoon, and we are not done yet. We still have a yellow | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
warning in force for Leicestershire and parts of Derbyshire and | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
Nottinghamshire. The next couple of hours will see some further heavy | :26:24. | :26:34. | |
:26:34. | :26:36. | ||
downpours. They will fade away tonight, we will have clear skies, | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
but a bit cooler and fresher than recently. We are looking at lows of | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
down to 12 or 13 degrees. Tomorrow morning it is a promising start to | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
the day, some brightness early on, but the shares quickly develop | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
through the morning, and there will be quite a rush of them into the | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
afternoon. That rain could be persistent in southern areas, but in | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
between the showers there will be sunshine and temperatures on a par | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
with today. For Wednesday, we have an area of more persistent rain | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
moving in, so it will start of drier, but then it will become more | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
persistent rain in the afternoon. Again, temperatures into the 20s. | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
But that rain is linked to a weather front. It is warm front, and it will | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
be drawing up warm air from the South during the latter half of this | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
week. Towards the end of the week it looks drier and brighter, warming up | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
by Thursday again. A real tropical feel in the air, | :27:32. | :27:38. |
