:00:07. > :00:15.Dominic Heale and Anne Davies. First tonight - a crime wave in the
:00:15. > :00:21.countryside. Farmers say they face a huge
:00:21. > :00:26.problem. This tractor with �70,000 was stolen and used to ram raid a
:00:26. > :00:30.cashpoint. And the woman stripped and
:00:30. > :00:36.handcuffed by police when she was seven months pregnant. It was
:00:36. > :00:40.degrading, humiliating, I felt violated.
:00:40. > :00:45.Plus, from Richard to poorer. The brides to be battling to get their
:00:45. > :00:50.wedding money back. I'm going to have to postpone my wedding for
:00:50. > :01:00.somebody that is selfish and has done this to many different brides.
:01:00. > :01:03.
:01:03. > :01:06.And deep under Derbyshire, a long Good evening and welcome to Monday's
:01:06. > :01:11.programme. First tonight, new figures suggest that rural crime is
:01:11. > :01:18.falling - but try telling that to farmers. According to an annual
:01:18. > :01:21.rural crime survey, there's been a 20% drop from last year. But the
:01:21. > :01:25.farming community say thefts are as bad as ever - it's just that people
:01:25. > :01:28.don't bother reporting them to the police. Our chief news reporter
:01:28. > :01:38.Quentin Rayner is at a farm in Nottinghamshire which has been
:01:38. > :01:39.
:01:39. > :01:42.targeted by countryside criminals. Yes, good evening. I can report it
:01:43. > :01:47.is a very wet Nottinghamshire countryside that I'm reporting from.
:01:47. > :01:54.But let me tell you, this is the sort of thing that these are after -
:01:54. > :02:00.diesel and fuel from farmyards. But at this farm, they are no strangers
:02:00. > :02:08.to rural crime. This �70,000 raptor of theirs made the headlines last
:02:08. > :02:12.year when it was used in an audacious raid. -- tractor. In the
:02:12. > :02:16.top left-hand corner, you'll see a tractor smashing into a building.
:02:16. > :02:22.That is a banking Bing and the tractor was used to rip out a cash
:02:22. > :02:27.machine. This is the tractor in question now returned to the arable
:02:27. > :02:31.farm it was stolen from. It was stolen by a gang specialising in
:02:31. > :02:36.taking agricultural vehicles to target cashpoints. If we had lost
:02:36. > :02:42.this machine, we would have lost �70,000. We've also lost toppers,
:02:42. > :02:46.the engines of machines and a lot of ancillary equipment like chainsaws.
:02:46. > :02:51.The survey has found that most rural crime is planned. Across the East
:02:51. > :02:54.Midlands last year, the cost was more than �2 million. Top of the
:02:54. > :02:59.thieves' wish list was machinery and fuel like heating oil and read
:02:59. > :03:06.diesel. However, the survey has recorded a slight increase in
:03:06. > :03:11.livestock thefts. This tallies with James's experienced - a beef farmer
:03:11. > :03:18.with 200 acres. We've been targeted on three separate occasions and in
:03:18. > :03:27.one hit, they took over 12 cattle straight out of the yard. So that's
:03:27. > :03:31.ten to �12,000 worth of couple. -- cattle. It is a significant problem.
:03:32. > :03:36.Overall, rural crime is said to be down but it's not an impression
:03:36. > :03:41.shared by farmers because they often don't report it. The police don't
:03:41. > :03:45.come. We've had to machine stolen. They never came out to see us or
:03:45. > :03:52.asked is serial numbers. Do you think it's pointless? It's totally
:03:53. > :03:57.pointless in my opinion. We never see the same police officer twice.
:03:57. > :04:01.It is a city -based police and we often get someone out of the city
:04:01. > :04:06.who knows nothing about rural crime at all. Chris's family has farmed
:04:06. > :04:12.for four generations. He says his is the first to experience rural crime
:04:12. > :04:15.on such a scale. So, have the police had anything to say about farmers
:04:15. > :04:20.claiming they just don't do enough to tackle rural Quine?
:04:20. > :04:25.In a statement, they told us that they have set up what they call a
:04:25. > :04:29.rural crime working group to help improve prevention and also the
:04:29. > :04:34.detection of rural crime. They link up more with farmers and local
:04:34. > :04:41.businesses and say they are going to be holding another rural crime
:04:41. > :04:46.summit in November, building on last year's successful event. But NFU
:04:46. > :04:50.Mutual, who came up with this survey, say that things like CCTV,
:04:50. > :04:55.tracker devices and decent locks are better deterrent than a greater
:04:55. > :04:59.police presence in the countryside. Go and get dry, Quentin! Thank you.
:04:59. > :05:02.A mother who was handcuffed for 11 hours while she was heavily pregnant
:05:02. > :05:08.has told us that the police officers concerned should have been sacked.
:05:08. > :05:10.Lynnette Wallace's baby was born prematurely. And today the police
:05:10. > :05:13.watchdog's confirmed that it's investigating whether that was
:05:13. > :05:17.linked to the way she was treated. Three Nottinghamshire officers have
:05:17. > :05:27.already been found guilty of gross misconduct. Our social affairs
:05:27. > :05:33.
:05:33. > :05:36.correspondent Jeremy Ball reports. Shana's full of energy but still
:05:36. > :05:40.struggles with her speech and two years ago she was on life-support
:05:40. > :05:43.after being born prematurely. The in dependent police complaint
:05:43. > :05:47.commission is investigating whether that would be to do with what
:05:47. > :05:50.happened two years earlier when her mother was arrested. They stripped
:05:50. > :05:57.my clothes off and I was handcuffed behind by back with some big
:05:57. > :06:02.handcuffs. When you're seven and a half months pregnant, it is really
:06:02. > :06:07.difficult, uncomfortable, painful. How do you feel about the way you
:06:07. > :06:15.were treated? It was degrading, humiliating. The most distressing
:06:15. > :06:21.was being taken away from my children. I felt violated. Lynette
:06:21. > :06:24.was taken to Nottingham's Bridewell custody suite on suspicion of arson
:06:24. > :06:29.and witness intimidation, allegations which did not lead to a
:06:29. > :06:34.criminal conviction. Three police supervisors have received formal
:06:34. > :06:44.written warnings. The force said it deals with thousands of people in
:06:44. > :06:49.
:06:49. > :06:53.good enough. I believe they should be sacked. They can't go around
:06:53. > :06:58.stripping women naked and throwing people in prison and saying, sorry
:06:58. > :07:01.we made a mistake. I think they should be sacked. And it has
:07:01. > :07:04.received a formal apology from the Nottinghamshire force for what
:07:04. > :07:08.happened but the police complaints commission is now investigating
:07:08. > :07:12.whether to refer her treatment to the Crown Prosecution Service.
:07:12. > :07:20.Still to come: You might have stayed dry earlier, but there's not much
:07:20. > :07:23.chance you'll escape the rain overnight.
:07:23. > :07:32.And I'm meeting the couple who love the legend of Robin Hood so much
:07:32. > :07:36.they travelled 3000 miles for some medieval merrymaking.
:07:36. > :07:39.A man from Nottinghamshire has been arrested following a stabbing at a
:07:39. > :07:44.caravan park. 28-year-old Adam Stirrup was found dead at the Stud
:07:44. > :07:48.Farm Holiday Park in Heysham in Lancashire yesterday morning. His
:07:48. > :07:50.partner, who'd also been stabbed, is critically ill in hospital. A
:07:50. > :07:57.26-year-old man, who's originally from Sutton-in-Ashfield, is being
:07:57. > :08:00.questioned on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.
:08:00. > :08:05.Three prisoners, including a violent burglar, have absconded from an open
:08:05. > :08:10.prison in Derbyshire. Daniel Taylor and Sean Kavanagh, both from
:08:10. > :08:12.Birmingham, failed to return to Sudbury Prison on Saturday. The
:08:12. > :08:15.third man, Stephen McElvaney from the Meadows in Nottingham, was
:08:15. > :08:24.branded a dangerous man when handed an indeterminate prison sentence in
:08:24. > :08:28.2008. He attacked a shop worker with a crowbar.
:08:28. > :08:31.A pub landlady's stepped in to try to save the day for dozens of brides
:08:31. > :08:36.whose wedding celebrations are now at risk because of the collapse of
:08:36. > :08:46.an events company. Jay Lewis says up to 60 brides have contacted her
:08:46. > :08:48.
:08:48. > :08:52.already. James Roberson reports. Last Friday evening at the Charnwood
:08:52. > :08:55.Arms hotel in Coalville near Leicestershire, this function room
:08:55. > :09:02.should be transformed into somewhere fit for a bride. It at that moment,
:09:02. > :09:04.and she was wondering whether her reception would happen at all. A
:09:05. > :09:12.company called ASD Special Occasions was supposed to be dressing room but
:09:12. > :09:16.last week they stopped taking calls. Mortified. Mortified. It ruined what
:09:16. > :09:21.I thought was go to the best day of my life. Luckily, another wedding
:09:21. > :09:24.planning firm stepped in to help out. We're a new business but I
:09:24. > :09:29.really want to try and help as much as I can. I felt absolutely gutted
:09:29. > :09:36.when I found out about this yesterday. Today a man who was among
:09:36. > :09:46.a group of planners and brides brought together by J Lewis stepped
:09:46. > :09:50.in to help. Some of them have spent all their money with this company
:09:50. > :09:56.and there's nothing left. The weddings are within a couple of
:09:56. > :09:59.days, some within a couple of weeks. But the companies have been
:09:59. > :10:02.brilliant and a lot of them have done it for free and it has meant
:10:02. > :10:06.the world for these bright to get out of the situation they've been
:10:06. > :10:12.put in. Now planners have been able to help the brides, some of whom
:10:12. > :10:15.fear they've lost thousands of pounds. I've had a lovely kind offer
:10:15. > :10:22.from Amanda and she's doing the whole room for me, to be honest.
:10:22. > :10:26.It's amazing. What we're doing is openly restoring faith in humanity.
:10:26. > :10:31.We're there to help. We've got the stock and it's not being used on a
:10:31. > :10:35.particular day, so it might as well be put to good use. Help has worked
:10:35. > :10:39.so far. This is what Amanda did for Angie's reception room at Coalville
:10:39. > :10:46.on Saturday. Now the other women hope their venues will now be
:10:46. > :10:49.stressed the way they dreamt. -- dressed.
:10:49. > :10:52.We have tried to contact ASD Special Occasions for their comment but so
:10:52. > :10:56.far, without success. Plans to revamp Lincolnshire's
:10:56. > :10:59.entire library system may lead to 170 job losses. If approved, two
:10:59. > :11:09.thirds of the county's libraries could close and many villages would
:11:09. > :11:11.
:11:11. > :11:15.lose their mobile library services. Victoria Norris reports.
:11:15. > :11:19.A mobile library service has been coming to this village in South
:11:19. > :11:25.Lincolnshire for more than 40 years but now the county council needs to
:11:25. > :11:29.cut �2 million from its library budget. 32 out of the 47 permanent
:11:29. > :11:33.libraries could close and 11 villages, including Gretford, will
:11:33. > :11:38.lose their mobile service completely. I do think that the
:11:38. > :11:44.rural communities do lose out on county council funds and I think
:11:44. > :11:49.it's another way of us being marginalised. For the elderly, the
:11:49. > :11:53.mobile service is something they look forward to. It's so helpful and
:11:53. > :11:57.they're so friendly and we all have a chat together while we're on
:11:57. > :12:03.there, which breaks the monotony of the morning. At the council says
:12:03. > :12:08.usage is declining. In villages like Gretford, only seven people on
:12:08. > :12:11.average use the mobile service every four weeks and 82% of the population
:12:11. > :12:16.of Lincolnshire doesn't use any library service at all, making the
:12:16. > :12:21.present system unsustainable. Lifestyles are changing and our
:12:21. > :12:24.current service is designed for the 1960s. What we're saying to any
:12:24. > :12:28.community is that if they want to set up a library service in the
:12:28. > :12:32.village hall, we will help them do that and help them stop it. We won't
:12:32. > :12:38.be able to man it. The consultation runs until the end of September,
:12:38. > :12:42.with a final decision made before the end of the year.
:12:42. > :12:47.Now, it's going to be a busy time in Leicester over the next few months
:12:47. > :12:50.as the city bids to become the next UK City of Culture. Those behind the
:12:50. > :12:56.bid say the title would showcase the city, help stimulate the economy and
:12:56. > :12:59.leave a legacy. Well, our arts reporter Geeta Pendse is going to be
:12:59. > :13:07.following the campaign closely and exploring the city's cultural
:13:07. > :13:16.make-up. Geeta is with us here in the studio. You're going to be
:13:16. > :13:20.rather busy. Yes, very busy. We all remember that jubilant moment
:13:20. > :13:23.when those behind the bid found out they'd been short listed. They're
:13:23. > :13:27.now working a detailed vision of what would happen if Leicester were
:13:27. > :13:30.to win. The final decision is in November. So we are going to be
:13:30. > :13:39.following the process itself and asking whether the title City of
:13:39. > :13:46.Culture is worth fighting for. But we're also trying to build a picture
:13:46. > :13:50.of what makes up Leicester's cultural DNA. We want to build a
:13:50. > :13:53.footprint of what is going on in Leicester now. From the story behind
:13:53. > :13:56.the makings of those intricate costumes at the Caribbean Carnival
:13:56. > :14:00.to iconic buildings in and around Leicester, the idea is to explore
:14:00. > :14:04.what's going on in the city culturally. And we want to build a
:14:04. > :14:07.picture using your experiences and stories at home. Is there an arts
:14:07. > :14:17.group or maybe a person you know who's had a major impact on
:14:17. > :14:22.
:14:23. > :14:25.Leicester's arts scene? You can get in contact with us via e-mail - the
:14:26. > :14:29.address is emt@bbc.co.uk. You can also get in contact through Facebook
:14:29. > :14:35.and Twitter. And we'll be showcasing some of those stories over the next
:14:35. > :14:38.few months - so watch this space. You're watching East Midlands Today,
:14:39. > :14:41.and can you believe it? The new football season has just started.
:14:42. > :14:51.We'll have all the action from the weekend's matches, including the
:14:52. > :14:52.
:14:53. > :14:58.goal that secured a win for A 68-year search for deposits of a
:14:58. > :15:02.rare stone in the Peak District has finally come to an end. The lost
:15:02. > :15:05.vein of Blue John stone was reported by a miner working underground near
:15:05. > :15:11.Castleton in 1945 - but he died before passing on the exact
:15:11. > :15:16.location. Now the semi-precious metal - which is used to make
:15:16. > :15:26.ornaments and jewellery - has been rediscovered. Danny Carpenter
:15:26. > :15:26.
:15:26. > :15:32.reports. They are minors, these three. Mine
:15:32. > :15:37.is not of coal or some industrial mineral but of Blue John. Of what,
:15:37. > :15:42.you ask? 50 years ago, this is how they got Blue John from this cavern.
:15:42. > :15:46.50 years ago, they were searching for a missing seem. The scene was
:15:46. > :15:53.described to Peter Harrison by the previous owner, John Royce. He found
:15:53. > :15:57.it but died before he could tell anyone where it was. For the next 70
:15:57. > :16:00.years, the precious scene stated. And if you're wondering how
:16:00. > :16:08.something so sought after could remain so hidden for so long, there
:16:08. > :16:11.are two reasons. The first is, it's not exactly access a ball. And the
:16:11. > :16:19.second is, the man who made the original discovery made absolutely
:16:19. > :16:24.sure that nobody else is stealing his find. John Royce had a ritual of
:16:24. > :16:27.hiding his vain and hiding his work at the end of the day. So I couldn't
:16:27. > :16:34.sneak up on the idyll of the night and hack his vain out and sell it in
:16:34. > :16:39.the village for ale. It was used as currency in the pubs! We did find a
:16:39. > :16:49.new iron bars, some would and a carpet concealing the vein itself.
:16:49. > :16:52.
:16:52. > :16:59.We found a bigger rocks on top of that. John is now mining this seam.
:16:59. > :17:01.With a bit of luck, he'll find it before it's his turn to retire.
:17:01. > :17:08.looked for it for hundreds of years and when John stumbled across it
:17:08. > :17:17.under the old carpet, I was amazed. Absolutely amazed. And it produces
:17:17. > :17:22.some very nice moonshine. It's such good quality that Peter is hopeful
:17:22. > :17:31.it can be worked into the coveted larger items, like cupboards and
:17:31. > :17:35.vases, which have not been produced for many long years.
:17:35. > :17:38.Coming up: A spectacular crash - again - for biker Leon Haslam. But
:17:38. > :17:41.first, the football season is back. Coming up: Behind the scenes with
:17:41. > :17:45.Forest's owner and the Derby player being watched by Premier League
:17:45. > :17:53.clubs. But the result of the weekend was Leicester's 2-1 win away to
:17:53. > :18:00.Middlesbrough. In the first half, Leicester were
:18:00. > :18:04.not very good. They were battling just not to go behind. But Apple was
:18:05. > :18:14.lost when a player put through his own net. Stiff half-time team talk
:18:15. > :18:15.
:18:15. > :18:19.worked. Another beautifully taken goal followed with Jamie Nugent
:18:19. > :18:22.supplying the perfect pass to his colleague. A flying start for
:18:22. > :18:27.Leicester and it could have been more with Middlesbrough struggling
:18:27. > :18:31.to hang on. Certainly in the second half we played with a better tempo,
:18:31. > :18:36.made a lot more positive decisions in possession and we looked a
:18:36. > :18:38.dangerous side. Good to get off to a winning start. Early days but a very
:18:38. > :18:42.promising start. At Nottingham Forest, Kuwati owner
:18:42. > :18:45.and chairman Fawaz Al-Hasawi has spent �500,000 on part one of a plan
:18:45. > :18:49.to redevelop the stadium. He's been backing manager Billy Davies on the
:18:49. > :18:52.field too - with eight new contracts for players during the summer. Well,
:18:52. > :19:02.on Saturday, Natalie was behind the scenes as Forest got off to a
:19:02. > :19:08.
:19:08. > :19:15.With the QA to flag flying over the ground, the owner flew in on opening
:19:15. > :19:19.day to be greeted by fans. I want to feel what they feel. I am one of
:19:19. > :19:29.them and I feel what they feel. I wanted to make them happy this
:19:29. > :19:32.
:19:32. > :19:37.season. It is his full -- first full campaign as manager. Ever since he
:19:37. > :19:41.has come in, the amount of work he has done and what he is shown to us
:19:41. > :19:47.as supporters is fantastic. He seems to have a good heart. I think is the
:19:47. > :19:50.person we've been waiting for a long time. We can't waste all our money.
:19:50. > :20:00.He spent it on good players and that's what we need in order to win
:20:00. > :20:02.
:20:02. > :20:07.the league. They've renamed the boardroom after his son here and
:20:07. > :20:13.spent �500,000 on new players. The Al-Hasawi family hope this will be
:20:13. > :20:18.their season. And on the pitch, three debutants were used. It wasn't
:20:18. > :20:23.the best first half but in the second, man of the match and new
:20:23. > :20:27.captain Chris Cohen set up Henry Lansbury to give Forest a good
:20:27. > :20:30.start. Its great credit to the chairman and the family for what
:20:30. > :20:35.they're trying to do to this football club and that's what many
:20:35. > :20:40.of the fans should appreciate - what is being done not only on the pitch
:20:40. > :20:50.but off the pitch which is very important. He is not only my manager
:20:50. > :20:54.but my friend and my brother. is how much I love you. He even got
:20:54. > :20:57.his name on the shirt! You can't beat that, can you?

:21:45. > :21:52.bits of around �15 million for the Derby teenager and a salary of
:21:52. > :21:55.�20,000 a week. Hughes shone as Derby benefited from a clumsy
:21:55. > :22:03.handball after Blackburn had had the better of the early stages of the
:22:03. > :22:08.match. Debut boy Johnny Russell got a first goal. Derby, rallied by
:22:09. > :22:14.Hughes, were looking for a second as for a time they were on top. But
:22:14. > :22:18.with a minute of normal time remaining, Leon Best, returning from
:22:18. > :22:26.a career threatening injury, scored his first goal in 19 months. The
:22:26. > :22:33.wind snatched away. The scouts were here. Is it going to be hardball for
:22:33. > :22:39.Hughes? If somebody does come it will have to be a huge offer to
:22:39. > :22:46.tempt the club. 125 years ago, Derby County won the first-ever football
:22:46. > :22:49.league game 6-3. Today was a bit more frustrating.
:22:49. > :22:53.In League One, Notts County kicked off their season at Sheffield United
:22:53. > :22:57.on Friday night. They were soon down to ten men when centre back Gary
:22:57. > :23:00.Liddle was sent off for this rash challenge. Notts went behind but
:23:00. > :23:05.equalised with this lovely finish from Enoch Showunmi. I think he
:23:05. > :23:08.enjoyed that. But Sheffield went on to win by two goals to one.
:23:08. > :23:13.Meanwhile in League Two, Mansfield, on their return to league football,
:23:13. > :23:16.went down two-nil at Scunthorpe. Loughborough's Fran Halsall won
:23:16. > :23:19.Britain's only medal at the World Swimming Championships, which have
:23:19. > :23:23.come to an end in Barcelona. Halsall, who'd earlier finished
:23:23. > :23:29.fourth in the 50 metres Butterfly, came third in the Freestyle Sprint.
:23:29. > :23:32.The bronze medal was a great relief to her - and her team-mates.
:23:32. > :23:42.Cricket - and congratulations to Derbyshire, who got their first

:23:42. > :23:45.County Championship Division One win reach, you know. Elsewhere, today's
:23:45. > :23:48.rain didn't just hit the Ashes match. A torrential downpour at
:23:48. > :23:51.Taunton meant Notts' game against Somerset was abandoned as a draw.
:23:51. > :23:55.But the weather couldn't save Leicestershire, who lost by an

:24:02. > :24:05.another injury scare in the World Superbikes at Silverstone. Just look
:24:05. > :24:08.at this. Remember, Haslam is still recovering from a broken leg.
:24:08. > :24:12.Incredibly, all he picked up were more bruises. He's got a planned

:24:58. > :25:02.America. -- Joseph and Debbie. so looking forward to the rest of
:25:02. > :25:06.the day. They have travelled more than 3000 miles to be here and
:25:06. > :25:11.yesterday celebrated Debbie overcoming breast cancer and 15
:25:11. > :25:17.years of marriage by renewing their vows in Sherwood Foresters. It was
:25:17. > :25:22.magical. The whole night was just amazing. We couldn't have thought of
:25:22. > :25:26.anything better. It was just great. Yes, it was very welcome warder
:25:26. > :25:34.mated with the staff and everything was just perfect and beautiful. --
:25:34. > :25:39.very well coordinated. Today's events have given the Tenczas a few
:25:39. > :25:44.ideas they would like to share with the organisers back home. I think
:25:44. > :25:48.they should bring some of the actors. Yeah, and I love the comedy
:25:48. > :25:52.that they brought out in the opening ceremony. I thought that was
:25:52. > :25:58.wonderful. They don't quite get the accent down in New York. No, they
:25:58. > :26:07.don't. They will return to America at the weekend with many happy
:26:07. > :26:17.memories of a special milestone in their lives. Weather how lovely, and
:26:17. > :26:19.
:26:19. > :26:26.congratulations. Time for the percentage of us with quite a lot of
:26:26. > :26:30.heavy rain. There were two weather fronts around today and it's mainly
:26:30. > :26:34.due to this area of low pressure being quite static for a time and
:26:34. > :26:37.it's now starting to pull away towards the north-east. In doing so,
:26:37. > :26:40.we are starting to see the heavy rain working its way across the East
:26:41. > :26:44.Midlands. But it moves through quite quickly tonight so we will see the
:26:44. > :26:48.back of it into the early hours of tomorrow morning. With clearer skies
:26:48. > :26:54.around, temperatures dot ground to a minimum of around 12 but it could
:26:54. > :26:59.turn quite misty. There was the chance of some fog forming tomorrow.
:26:59. > :27:03.A fine start once the sun comes up. It is going to cloud over throughout
:27:03. > :27:08.the afternoon tomorrow and there is a very slim chance of a light shower
:27:08. > :27:11.with a daytime temperature of 21 Celsius. A decent day in store for
:27:11. > :27:14.Wednesday. A lot of than three showers coming up from France but
:27:14. > :27:21.we'll just see the cloud increasing again into the afternoon on
:27:21. > :27:26.Wednesday. A gentle north-easterly breeze. A set of day again for
:27:26. > :27:29.Thursday. A pleasant outlook and some good periods of dry weather
:27:29. > :27:33.throughout the majority of the week. Just the slim chance of a few
:27:33. > :27:39.showers again by Friday. Very wet out there tonight so careful if
