Dominic Heale and Anne Davies. First tonight - a crime wave in the | :00:07. | :00:15. | |
countryside. Farmers say they face a huge | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
problem. This tractor with �70,000 was stolen and used to ram raid a | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
cashpoint. And the woman stripped and | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
handcuffed by police when she was seven months pregnant. It was | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
degrading, humiliating, I felt violated. | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
Plus, from Richard to poorer. The brides to be battling to get their | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
wedding money back. I'm going to have to postpone my wedding for | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
somebody that is selfish and has done this to many different brides. | :00:50. | :01:00. | |
:01:00. | :01:03. | ||
And deep under Derbyshire, a long Good evening and welcome to Monday's | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
programme. First tonight, new figures suggest that rural crime is | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
falling - but try telling that to farmers. According to an annual | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
rural crime survey, there's been a 20% drop from last year. But the | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
farming community say thefts are as bad as ever - it's just that people | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
don't bother reporting them to the police. Our chief news reporter | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
Quentin Rayner is at a farm in Nottinghamshire which has been | :01:28. | :01:38. | |
:01:38. | :01:39. | ||
targeted by countryside criminals. Yes, good evening. I can report it | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
is a very wet Nottinghamshire countryside that I'm reporting from. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
But let me tell you, this is the sort of thing that these are after - | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
diesel and fuel from farmyards. But at this farm, they are no strangers | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
to rural crime. This �70,000 raptor of theirs made the headlines last | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
year when it was used in an audacious raid. -- tractor. In the | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
top left-hand corner, you'll see a tractor smashing into a building. | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
That is a banking Bing and the tractor was used to rip out a cash | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
machine. This is the tractor in question now returned to the arable | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
farm it was stolen from. It was stolen by a gang specialising in | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
taking agricultural vehicles to target cashpoints. If we had lost | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
this machine, we would have lost �70,000. We've also lost toppers, | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
the engines of machines and a lot of ancillary equipment like chainsaws. | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
The survey has found that most rural crime is planned. Across the East | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Midlands last year, the cost was more than �2 million. Top of the | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
thieves' wish list was machinery and fuel like heating oil and read | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
diesel. However, the survey has recorded a slight increase in | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
livestock thefts. This tallies with James's experienced - a beef farmer | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
with 200 acres. We've been targeted on three separate occasions and in | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
one hit, they took over 12 cattle straight out of the yard. So that's | :03:18. | :03:27. | |
ten to �12,000 worth of couple. -- cattle. It is a significant problem. | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
Overall, rural crime is said to be down but it's not an impression | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
shared by farmers because they often don't report it. The police don't | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
come. We've had to machine stolen. They never came out to see us or | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
asked is serial numbers. Do you think it's pointless? It's totally | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
pointless in my opinion. We never see the same police officer twice. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
It is a city -based police and we often get someone out of the city | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
who knows nothing about rural crime at all. Chris's family has farmed | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
for four generations. He says his is the first to experience rural crime | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
on such a scale. So, have the police had anything to say about farmers | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
claiming they just don't do enough to tackle rural Quine? | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
In a statement, they told us that they have set up what they call a | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
rural crime working group to help improve prevention and also the | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
detection of rural crime. They link up more with farmers and local | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
businesses and say they are going to be holding another rural crime | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
summit in November, building on last year's successful event. But NFU | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
Mutual, who came up with this survey, say that things like CCTV, | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
tracker devices and decent locks are better deterrent than a greater | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
police presence in the countryside. Go and get dry, Quentin! Thank you. | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
A mother who was handcuffed for 11 hours while she was heavily pregnant | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
has told us that the police officers concerned should have been sacked. | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
Lynnette Wallace's baby was born prematurely. And today the police | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
watchdog's confirmed that it's investigating whether that was | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
linked to the way she was treated. Three Nottinghamshire officers have | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
already been found guilty of gross misconduct. Our social affairs | :05:17. | :05:27. | |
:05:27. | :05:33. | ||
correspondent Jeremy Ball reports. Shana's full of energy but still | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
struggles with her speech and two years ago she was on life-support | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
after being born prematurely. The in dependent police complaint | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
commission is investigating whether that would be to do with what | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
happened two years earlier when her mother was arrested. They stripped | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
my clothes off and I was handcuffed behind by back with some big | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
handcuffs. When you're seven and a half months pregnant, it is really | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
difficult, uncomfortable, painful. How do you feel about the way you | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
were treated? It was degrading, humiliating. The most distressing | :06:07. | :06:15. | |
was being taken away from my children. I felt violated. Lynette | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
was taken to Nottingham's Bridewell custody suite on suspicion of arson | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
and witness intimidation, allegations which did not lead to a | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
criminal conviction. Three police supervisors have received formal | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
written warnings. The force said it deals with thousands of people in | :06:34. | :06:44. | |
:06:44. | :06:49. | ||
good enough. I believe they should be sacked. They can't go around | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
stripping women naked and throwing people in prison and saying, sorry | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
we made a mistake. I think they should be sacked. And it has | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
received a formal apology from the Nottinghamshire force for what | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
happened but the police complaints commission is now investigating | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
whether to refer her treatment to the Crown Prosecution Service. | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
Still to come: You might have stayed dry earlier, but there's not much | :07:12. | :07:20. | |
chance you'll escape the rain overnight. | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
And I'm meeting the couple who love the legend of Robin Hood so much | :07:23. | :07:32. | |
they travelled 3000 miles for some medieval merrymaking. | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
A man from Nottinghamshire has been arrested following a stabbing at a | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
caravan park. 28-year-old Adam Stirrup was found dead at the Stud | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
Farm Holiday Park in Heysham in Lancashire yesterday morning. His | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
partner, who'd also been stabbed, is critically ill in hospital. A | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
26-year-old man, who's originally from Sutton-in-Ashfield, is being | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
questioned on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Three prisoners, including a violent burglar, have absconded from an open | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
prison in Derbyshire. Daniel Taylor and Sean Kavanagh, both from | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
Birmingham, failed to return to Sudbury Prison on Saturday. The | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
third man, Stephen McElvaney from the Meadows in Nottingham, was | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
branded a dangerous man when handed an indeterminate prison sentence in | :08:15. | :08:24. | |
2008. He attacked a shop worker with a crowbar. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
A pub landlady's stepped in to try to save the day for dozens of brides | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
whose wedding celebrations are now at risk because of the collapse of | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
an events company. Jay Lewis says up to 60 brides have contacted her | :08:36. | :08:46. | |
:08:46. | :08:48. | ||
already. James Roberson reports. Last Friday evening at the Charnwood | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
Arms hotel in Coalville near Leicestershire, this function room | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
should be transformed into somewhere fit for a bride. It at that moment, | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
and she was wondering whether her reception would happen at all. A | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
company called ASD Special Occasions was supposed to be dressing room but | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
last week they stopped taking calls. Mortified. Mortified. It ruined what | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
I thought was go to the best day of my life. Luckily, another wedding | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
planning firm stepped in to help out. We're a new business but I | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
really want to try and help as much as I can. I felt absolutely gutted | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
when I found out about this yesterday. Today a man who was among | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
a group of planners and brides brought together by J Lewis stepped | :09:36. | :09:46. | |
in to help. Some of them have spent all their money with this company | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
and there's nothing left. The weddings are within a couple of | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
days, some within a couple of weeks. But the companies have been | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
brilliant and a lot of them have done it for free and it has meant | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
the world for these bright to get out of the situation they've been | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
put in. Now planners have been able to help the brides, some of whom | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
fear they've lost thousands of pounds. I've had a lovely kind offer | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
from Amanda and she's doing the whole room for me, to be honest. | :10:15. | :10:22. | |
It's amazing. What we're doing is openly restoring faith in humanity. | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
We're there to help. We've got the stock and it's not being used on a | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
particular day, so it might as well be put to good use. Help has worked | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
so far. This is what Amanda did for Angie's reception room at Coalville | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
on Saturday. Now the other women hope their venues will now be | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
stressed the way they dreamt. -- dressed. | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
We have tried to contact ASD Special Occasions for their comment but so | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
far, without success. Plans to revamp Lincolnshire's | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
entire library system may lead to 170 job losses. If approved, two | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
thirds of the county's libraries could close and many villages would | :10:59. | :11:09. | |
:11:09. | :11:11. | ||
lose their mobile library services. Victoria Norris reports. | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
A mobile library service has been coming to this village in South | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
Lincolnshire for more than 40 years but now the county council needs to | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
cut �2 million from its library budget. 32 out of the 47 permanent | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
libraries could close and 11 villages, including Gretford, will | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
lose their mobile service completely. I do think that the | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
rural communities do lose out on county council funds and I think | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
it's another way of us being marginalised. For the elderly, the | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
mobile service is something they look forward to. It's so helpful and | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
they're so friendly and we all have a chat together while we're on | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
there, which breaks the monotony of the morning. At the council says | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
usage is declining. In villages like Gretford, only seven people on | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
average use the mobile service every four weeks and 82% of the population | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
of Lincolnshire doesn't use any library service at all, making the | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
present system unsustainable. Lifestyles are changing and our | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
current service is designed for the 1960s. What we're saying to any | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
community is that if they want to set up a library service in the | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
village hall, we will help them do that and help them stop it. We won't | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
be able to man it. The consultation runs until the end of September, | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
with a final decision made before the end of the year. | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
Now, it's going to be a busy time in Leicester over the next few months | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
as the city bids to become the next UK City of Culture. Those behind the | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
bid say the title would showcase the city, help stimulate the economy and | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
leave a legacy. Well, our arts reporter Geeta Pendse is going to be | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
following the campaign closely and exploring the city's cultural | :12:59. | :13:07. | |
make-up. Geeta is with us here in the studio. You're going to be | :13:07. | :13:16. | |
rather busy. Yes, very busy. We all remember that jubilant moment | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
when those behind the bid found out they'd been short listed. They're | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
now working a detailed vision of what would happen if Leicester were | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
to win. The final decision is in November. So we are going to be | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
following the process itself and asking whether the title City of | :13:30. | :13:39. | |
Culture is worth fighting for. But we're also trying to build a picture | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
of what makes up Leicester's cultural DNA. We want to build a | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
footprint of what is going on in Leicester now. From the story behind | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
the makings of those intricate costumes at the Caribbean Carnival | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
to iconic buildings in and around Leicester, the idea is to explore | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
what's going on in the city culturally. And we want to build a | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
picture using your experiences and stories at home. Is there an arts | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
group or maybe a person you know who's had a major impact on | :14:07. | :14:17. | |
:14:17. | :14:22. | ||
Leicester's arts scene? You can get in contact with us via e-mail - the | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
address is [email protected]. You can also get in contact through Facebook | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
and Twitter. And we'll be showcasing some of those stories over the next | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
few months - so watch this space. You're watching East Midlands Today, | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
and can you believe it? The new football season has just started. | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
We'll have all the action from the weekend's matches, including the | :14:42. | :14:51. | |
:14:52. | :14:52. | ||
goal that secured a win for A 68-year search for deposits of a | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
rare stone in the Peak District has finally come to an end. The lost | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
vein of Blue John stone was reported by a miner working underground near | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
Castleton in 1945 - but he died before passing on the exact | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
location. Now the semi-precious metal - which is used to make | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
ornaments and jewellery - has been rediscovered. Danny Carpenter | :15:16. | :15:26. | |
:15:26. | :15:26. | ||
reports. They are minors, these three. Mine | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
is not of coal or some industrial mineral but of Blue John. Of what, | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
you ask? 50 years ago, this is how they got Blue John from this cavern. | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
50 years ago, they were searching for a missing seem. The scene was | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
described to Peter Harrison by the previous owner, John Royce. He found | :15:46. | :15:53. | |
it but died before he could tell anyone where it was. For the next 70 | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
years, the precious scene stated. And if you're wondering how | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
something so sought after could remain so hidden for so long, there | :16:00. | :16:08. | |
are two reasons. The first is, it's not exactly access a ball. And the | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
second is, the man who made the original discovery made absolutely | :16:11. | :16:19. | |
sure that nobody else is stealing his find. John Royce had a ritual of | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
hiding his vain and hiding his work at the end of the day. So I couldn't | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
sneak up on the idyll of the night and hack his vain out and sell it in | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
the village for ale. It was used as currency in the pubs! We did find a | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
new iron bars, some would and a carpet concealing the vein itself. | :16:39. | :16:49. | |
:16:49. | :16:52. | ||
We found a bigger rocks on top of that. John is now mining this seam. | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
With a bit of luck, he'll find it before it's his turn to retire. | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
looked for it for hundreds of years and when John stumbled across it | :17:01. | :17:08. | |
under the old carpet, I was amazed. Absolutely amazed. And it produces | :17:08. | :17:17. | |
some very nice moonshine. It's such good quality that Peter is hopeful | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
it can be worked into the coveted larger items, like cupboards and | :17:22. | :17:31. | |
vases, which have not been produced for many long years. | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
Coming up: A spectacular crash - again - for biker Leon Haslam. But | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
first, the football season is back. Coming up: Behind the scenes with | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
Forest's owner and the Derby player being watched by Premier League | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
clubs. But the result of the weekend was Leicester's 2-1 win away to | :17:45. | :17:53. | |
Middlesbrough. In the first half, Leicester were | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
not very good. They were battling just not to go behind. But Apple was | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
lost when a player put through his own net. Stiff half-time team talk | :18:05. | :18:14. | |
:18:15. | :18:15. | ||
worked. Another beautifully taken goal followed with Jamie Nugent | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
supplying the perfect pass to his colleague. A flying start for | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
Leicester and it could have been more with Middlesbrough struggling | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
to hang on. Certainly in the second half we played with a better tempo, | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
made a lot more positive decisions in possession and we looked a | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
dangerous side. Good to get off to a winning start. Early days but a very | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
promising start. At Nottingham Forest, Kuwati owner | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
and chairman Fawaz Al-Hasawi has spent �500,000 on part one of a plan | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
to redevelop the stadium. He's been backing manager Billy Davies on the | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
field too - with eight new contracts for players during the summer. Well, | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
on Saturday, Natalie was behind the scenes as Forest got off to a | :18:52. | :19:02. | |
:19:02. | :19:08. | ||
With the QA to flag flying over the ground, the owner flew in on opening | :19:08. | :19:15. | |
day to be greeted by fans. I want to feel what they feel. I am one of | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
them and I feel what they feel. I wanted to make them happy this | :19:19. | :19:29. | |
:19:29. | :19:32. | ||
season. It is his full -- first full campaign as manager. Ever since he | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
has come in, the amount of work he has done and what he is shown to us | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
as supporters is fantastic. He seems to have a good heart. I think is the | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
person we've been waiting for a long time. We can't waste all our money. | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
He spent it on good players and that's what we need in order to win | :19:50. | :20:00. | |
:20:00. | :20:02. | ||
the league. They've renamed the boardroom after his son here and | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
spent �500,000 on new players. The Al-Hasawi family hope this will be | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
their season. And on the pitch, three debutants were used. It wasn't | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
the best first half but in the second, man of the match and new | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
captain Chris Cohen set up Henry Lansbury to give Forest a good | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
start. Its great credit to the chairman and the family for what | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
they're trying to do to this football club and that's what many | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
of the fans should appreciate - what is being done not only on the pitch | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
but off the pitch which is very important. He is not only my manager | :20:40. | :20:50. | |
but my friend and my brother. is how much I love you. He even got | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
his name on the shirt! You can't beat that, can you? | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
Derby County's manager Nigel Clough says it would take an extremely big | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
offer to tempt them to sell teenage midfielder Will Hughes. Hughes once | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
again caught the eye of the Premier League scouts in Derby's one-all | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
draw with Blackburn. Yesterday's game was part of the Football | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
League's anniversary celebrations. And Mark Shardlow was at Pride Park. | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
125 years ago, Barbie and Blackburn were two of the 12 founder members | :21:18. | :21:26. | |
of a new competition. The football league. -- derby. Derby were then | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
owned by the football and cricket club but it is now a worldwide | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
consortium. In Victorian times, players like Will Hughes needed a | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
second job to make ends meet. Premier League clubs are pondering | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
bits of around �15 million for the Derby teenager and a salary of | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
�20,000 a week. Hughes shone as Derby benefited from a clumsy | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
handball after Blackburn had had the better of the early stages of the | :21:55. | :22:03. | |
match. Debut boy Johnny Russell got a first goal. Derby, rallied by | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
Hughes, were looking for a second as for a time they were on top. But | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
with a minute of normal time remaining, Leon Best, returning from | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
a career threatening injury, scored his first goal in 19 months. The | :22:18. | :22:26. | |
wind snatched away. The scouts were here. Is it going to be hardball for | :22:26. | :22:33. | |
Hughes? If somebody does come it will have to be a huge offer to | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
tempt the club. 125 years ago, Derby County won the first-ever football | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
league game 6-3. Today was a bit more frustrating. | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
In League One, Notts County kicked off their season at Sheffield United | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
on Friday night. They were soon down to ten men when centre back Gary | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
Liddle was sent off for this rash challenge. Notts went behind but | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
equalised with this lovely finish from Enoch Showunmi. I think he | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
enjoyed that. But Sheffield went on to win by two goals to one. | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
Meanwhile in League Two, Mansfield, on their return to league football, | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
went down two-nil at Scunthorpe. Loughborough's Fran Halsall won | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
Britain's only medal at the World Swimming Championships, which have | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
come to an end in Barcelona. Halsall, who'd earlier finished | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
fourth in the 50 metres Butterfly, came third in the Freestyle Sprint. | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
The bronze medal was a great relief to her - and her team-mates. | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
Cricket - and congratulations to Derbyshire, who got their first | :23:32. | :23:42. | |

County Championship Division One win reach, you know. Elsewhere, today's | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
rain didn't just hit the Ashes match. A torrential downpour at | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
Taunton meant Notts' game against Somerset was abandoned as a draw. | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
But the weather couldn't save Leicestershire, who lost by an | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
innings against Lancashire in innings against Lancashire in | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
Division Two. Derbyshire's Leon Haslam has had | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
another injury scare in the World Superbikes at Silverstone. Just look | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
at this. Remember, Haslam is still recovering from a broken leg. | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
Incredibly, all he picked up were more bruises. He's got a planned | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
operation to remove screws from his left leg this week and then a month | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
off before his next event Two Robin Hood fans have travelled 3,000 miles | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
from New Jersey to Nottinghamshire to renew their wedding vows in | :24:18. | :24:28. | |
Sherwood Forest. Today, Joe and Debbie Tencza were | :24:28. | :24:32. | |

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