:00:09. > :00:19.Tonight a local vicar urges parents to wake up to the threat of
:00:19. > :00:20.
:00:20. > :00:25.internet bullying. His comments came as a book of
:00:25. > :00:29.condolences was opened for trawling the victim Hannah Smith. Even here
:00:29. > :00:34.the internet has an effect and it comes right into our homes and into
:00:34. > :00:39.our children's bedrooms and people said all the things to our children.
:00:39. > :00:45.The moment a man commits two of the so called Fatal Four of driving
:00:45. > :00:49.offences. He is texting as he drives. I saw the phone in his hand.
:00:49. > :00:53.Plus the furniture recycling project that is helping Mansfield's
:00:53. > :01:03.military veterans. And in a bit of a spin, the

:01:07. > :01:08.launderette worker who has cleaned Good evening and welcome to
:01:08. > :01:11.Wednesday's programme. First tonight:
:01:11. > :01:14.Special prayers are being said and a condolence book has been opened
:01:14. > :01:19.in memory of a Leicestershire teenager who, according to her
:01:20. > :01:24.father, took her own life after being bullied online. 14-year-old
:01:24. > :01:28.Hannah Smith was found dead at her home in Lutterworth last Friday.
:01:28. > :01:38.Now the local vicar is warning that no community, not even market towns
:01:38. > :01:39.
:01:39. > :01:46.like his, is safe. Eleanor Garnier reports.
:01:46. > :01:50.Candles in memory of a daughter, sister, friend and neighbour. All
:01:50. > :01:54.lit for fourteen-year-old Hannah Smith who took her own life last
:01:54. > :01:59.Friday. Her body was found by her 16-year-old sister and her father
:01:59. > :02:03.said that Hanna had become a victim of online bullies, getting
:02:03. > :02:07.anonymous messages telling her to take her own life. Her death has
:02:07. > :02:11.left Lutterworth in shock. Everybody will be talking about it
:02:11. > :02:16.and someone on the checkout will have a two-year rolling down her
:02:16. > :02:20.face so it has been a very big deal. The shock is a big part of that and
:02:20. > :02:24.obviously it is just really sad, it is tragic. As more flowers are laid
:02:24. > :02:28.at the family home here in Lutterworth, there is increasing
:02:28. > :02:32.concern about the scale of online bullying, with parents being warned
:02:32. > :02:36.about the signs they need to look out for. Young people might be more
:02:36. > :02:43.secretive about their online behaviour, perhaps hiding the use
:02:43. > :02:47.of their phone or perhaps becoming withdrawn. Very similar symptoms to
:02:48. > :02:51.other types of bullying so any changes in your child's behaviour,
:02:51. > :02:55.perhaps start thinking and looking at the information that is
:02:55. > :03:00.available online and in leaflets. The focus now is to support
:03:00. > :03:05.Hannah's family and also a message of caution about the powers of the
:03:05. > :03:08.Web. It teaches us and challenges us and it acts as a warning to was
:03:08. > :03:12.about the power of the internet that even in someone like
:03:12. > :03:16.Lutterworth where it is comfortable and relatively prosperous that
:03:16. > :03:21.actually the internet can have an effect. It comes right into our
:03:21. > :03:24.homes, right into our children's homes -- bedrooms and p+horrible
:03:24. > :03:30.things to our children. Friends and family have been coming to the
:03:30. > :03:35.church all day as the book of condolence fills up. The community
:03:35. > :03:41.here is trying to hold on to every memory it has of a young life taken
:03:42. > :03:44.too soon. A military charity's helping young
:03:44. > :03:50.veterans return to civvy street by setting up a furniture recycling
:03:50. > :03:55.scheme. They've filled a warehouse in Mansfield with donations that'll
:03:55. > :03:59.help the former soldiers make a new start. And the project's also
:03:59. > :04:07.planning to train them up for new careers. Our Social Affairs
:04:07. > :04:12.Correspondent Jeremy Ball reports. Maureen is clearing out the house
:04:12. > :04:16.where she was born after losing her father three months ago. Derek
:04:16. > :04:20.Palmer was a soldier who fought in the second world war and took part
:04:20. > :04:24.in the D-Day landings. Now all his belongings have been handed over to
:04:24. > :04:28.a military charity. My dad would have liked this so much. He talked
:04:28. > :04:32.a lot about his Army days and he would have thought this was really
:04:32. > :04:36.good, rather than just throwing things away, helping others, he
:04:36. > :04:39.would have liked it. They have been lovely while we have been clearing
:04:39. > :04:42.and they have been respectful and look at that things. They have just
:04:42. > :04:46.been really like its -- they have just been really nice for my dad
:04:46. > :04:51.would have liked that more than anything. They are going to bring
:04:51. > :04:55.Derry's furniture here to this huge warehouse. Look at how much they
:04:55. > :04:59.have already collected. It has come from homes and businesses and the
:04:59. > :05:04.local council as well and it is all going to be used to help
:05:04. > :05:08.Mansfield's military veterans. someone we come across military
:05:08. > :05:11.veterans through the charity we can refurbish them and when they
:05:11. > :05:15.improve they can come and get involved here in repairing
:05:15. > :05:19.furniture and delivering and suchlike. They can look good on a
:05:19. > :05:25.CV or for a potential employee in the future but hopefully as it
:05:25. > :05:29.grows it will provide employment as well. Ricky has found a full time
:05:29. > :05:33.driving job after this charity helped him to turn things around.
:05:33. > :05:37.He had been so traumatised by his experience in Afghanistan that he
:05:37. > :05:41.made four separate suicide attempts and he eventually admitted himself
:05:41. > :05:47.to a psychiatric hospital. I just couldn't cope with it any more.
:05:47. > :05:51.Dreams, nightmares, sleeplessness, flashbacks. You fall down a well
:05:51. > :05:55.and you are at the lowest point in the well and you see there is no
:05:55. > :05:59.way to climb out. Gradually through time and help I have started to
:05:59. > :06:03.climb and I am getting higher and higher every day. Every day is a
:06:03. > :06:07.big jump for me. This charity has already helped dozens of homeless
:06:07. > :06:14.veterans get back on their feet and to allow civilians in need are
:06:14. > :06:17.being offered help as well. What a brilliant scheme.
:06:17. > :06:20.Still to come: Is playing outside childs play? Apparently not. We've
:06:20. > :06:30.been to an event that teaches youngsters about the joys of the
:06:30. > :06:31.
:06:31. > :06:36.great outdoors. A man's in hospital with serious
:06:36. > :06:39.injuries after a shooting in Nottingham. Police cordoned off the
:06:39. > :06:43.scene on Woodborough Road in St Anns as they investigated the
:06:43. > :06:46.incident which happened around 10:00pm last night. The van in
:06:46. > :06:50.which the injured man is thought to have travelled is being
:06:50. > :06:55.forensically examined. The victim's in a stable condition at the
:06:55. > :06:59.Queen's Medical Centre. Labour has selected Nick Palmer to
:06:59. > :07:05.try to win back the Nottinghamshire constituency he lost in one of the
:07:05. > :07:08.closest results of the last general election. The former MP had held
:07:08. > :07:12.the suburban seat of Broxtowe for 13 years. It's among the most
:07:12. > :07:17.politically marginal constituencies in the country. His decision to
:07:17. > :07:20.stand again means a rematch against the Conservatives' Anna Soubry.
:07:20. > :07:24.She's now a health minister and one of the best known political names
:07:24. > :07:28.in the East Midlands. At the last election Nick Palmer lost by only
:07:28. > :07:30.389 votes. Campaigners fighting to save
:07:30. > :07:33.children's heart surgery at Leicester's Glenfield Hospital were
:07:33. > :07:39.due to meet health bosses in London today, who are leading another
:07:39. > :07:44.review of the service. A previous decision to stop children's heart
:07:44. > :07:49.surgery in Leicester was overturned. The aim is to provide a better
:07:49. > :07:52.service with fewer, larger centres across the country. Campaigners
:07:52. > :07:58.were meeting officials from NHS England to put forward the case for
:07:58. > :08:02.keeping surgery in the city. Next tonight:
:08:02. > :08:05.It's been a chastening day for dozens of drivers in Leicestershire.
:08:05. > :08:13.This morning police carried out a blitz on those committing one or
:08:13. > :08:15.more of the Fatal Four offences. If you're unfamiliar with the
:08:15. > :08:18.phrase, it's actually the term used by the emergency services to
:08:18. > :08:26.summarise the four most likely causes of fatal road traffic
:08:26. > :08:35.collisions. And they are drink driving, speeding, driving while on
:08:35. > :08:39.a mobile phone and driving without a seatbelt. Jonathan Cecil reports.
:08:39. > :08:44.This driver is committing two offences. He is not wearing a
:08:44. > :08:50.seatbelt and he is using a mobile phone. He may get three points and
:08:50. > :08:55.a �60 fine for losing his own -- using his own and another �60 for
:08:55. > :09:00.not wearing his seatbelt but he may not that they either. Instead of
:09:00. > :09:05.being prosecuted here we are issuing a fixed penalty ticket and
:09:05. > :09:09.he may be eligible for an awareness course to educate him not to do it
:09:09. > :09:16.again. Over 300 people are being killed or seriously injured on
:09:16. > :09:20.these roads every year because of Fatal Four. This morning's Clinic
:09:20. > :09:25.saw 24 vehicles stopped, 19 for having a seat belt and three using
:09:25. > :09:29.a mobile phone and three vehicles were seized for having no insurance.
:09:29. > :09:32.There is nothing worse for a legitimate driver to be struck by a
:09:32. > :09:36.driver driving a car with no insurance and we are doing our
:09:36. > :09:40.level best to take these drivers off the road and, as you have seen
:09:40. > :09:44.this morning, we took the car into the car-park and within half an
:09:44. > :09:48.hour back of was recovered to a vehicle recovery so that is one of
:09:48. > :09:52.the road. Leicestershire police will continue to operate these
:09:52. > :09:55.teams throughout the country until they see a dramatic improvement of
:09:55. > :09:58.its motorists. The Home Office has rejected
:09:58. > :10:00.recommendations for greater scrutiny of the new Police and
:10:00. > :10:05.Crime Commissioners, following the controversial suspension of an East
:10:05. > :10:08.Midlands chief constable. Now a senior Nottinghamshire politician
:10:08. > :10:12.says the Home Office's decision calls into question the role of the
:10:12. > :10:22.panel set up by the government, as a check on the power of the
:10:22. > :10:24.
:10:24. > :10:28.Commissioners. This report from our Political Editor John Hess.
:10:28. > :10:32.This hall will soon be the new headquarters for Nottinghamshire's
:10:32. > :10:35.police commissioner but it is not just about bricks and mortar. My
:10:35. > :10:39.mum's into power of the police commissioners are making a real
:10:39. > :10:42.impact according to the Home Office. Lincolnshire's commissioner
:10:42. > :10:46.certainly made an impact. He suspended his chief Constable
:10:46. > :10:50.within weeks of taking office over a suspected conflict of interest.
:10:50. > :10:55.The jeep was later reinstated but the court costs involved prompted
:10:55. > :11:00.MPs to investigate. A judge has described the decision that you
:11:00. > :11:06.took as perverse and irrational. accept entirely the High Court
:11:06. > :11:09.judge's criticism. We think that the best way in which you can
:11:09. > :11:13.scrutinise it is for the police and crime panels to be doing their job
:11:13. > :11:16.as effectively as possible. Home Affairs Committee recommended
:11:16. > :11:20.greater scrutiny of the commissioners, their budget and
:11:20. > :11:24.their financial interest. Today the policy at -- today the politician
:11:24. > :11:28.in charge of scrutinising Nottinghamshire's commissioner
:11:28. > :11:31.learn the government had rejected the calls for greater
:11:31. > :11:35.accountability. I think is a great mistake. This is a cross-party
:11:35. > :11:39.committee back came up with sensible recommendations and
:11:39. > :11:42.concerns. They should have paid notice, not just throw it away,
:11:42. > :11:45.they should have paid notice to what was put before them and come
:11:45. > :11:48.back with their comments instead of rubbishing it. The Government says
:11:48. > :11:52.the final quarter of a cow will be in the ballot box when
:11:52. > :11:55.commissioners what the voters to give them a second term in office.
:11:55. > :12:02.Our Political Editor John Hess joins us in the studio.The Police
:12:02. > :12:07.Commissioners must be rather relieved tonight. Certainly Alan
:12:07. > :12:11.Hardwick has been in a get to know you session with the local public
:12:11. > :12:16.today. That would in Stamford and despite the grille he had at the
:12:16. > :12:20.hands of Keith Vaz, he is actually quite easy about greater scrutiny
:12:20. > :12:23.and says he gets on with his chief constable and he welcomes the call
:12:23. > :12:28.for a greater declaration of financial interests. The committee
:12:28. > :12:34.had wanted a central register of financial interests but the
:12:34. > :12:39.government says it is not its job. It is up to each commissioner. Home
:12:39. > :12:43.Office ministers have been fairly dismissive of the calls for at
:12:43. > :12:48.greater accountability from Keith Vaz's Committee. The Government is
:12:48. > :12:52.saying that the existing legislation is robust enough.
:12:52. > :12:56.that the end of the matter for Keith Vaz? Keith Vaz does not give
:12:56. > :12:59.up easily. I suspect he and his committee suspect there is an issue
:12:59. > :13:03.here and you can guarantee there will be a further report from his
:13:03. > :13:09.committee by the time they celebrate their first anniversary.
:13:09. > :13:11.Thank you very much. In other News tonight:
:13:11. > :13:14.Mallory Park race track near Hinckley in Leicestershire has
:13:14. > :13:19.agreed to change its racing hours. It follows complaints from local
:13:19. > :13:21.residents over increased noise and disturbance from the circuit. The
:13:21. > :13:31.track's managers met with the borough council and residents, and
:13:31. > :13:36.will now submit a revised calendar by the end of the month.
:13:36. > :13:44.Planning permission is likely to be granted to night for a new King
:13:44. > :13:47.Richard III visitors' centre in Leicester. The multi million pound
:13:47. > :13:55.exhibition is expected to attract about 100,000 people a year. Helen
:13:55. > :14:00.Astle reports. But if plans are approved the
:14:00. > :14:03.visitors' centre will be fit for a king. It will be fitted out with
:14:03. > :14:07.interactive displays to tell how we found Richard III in the last year
:14:07. > :14:13.or so. An interesting thing about it is if you look at the window you
:14:13. > :14:17.can see where King Richard III's body was found in the monastery
:14:17. > :14:22.side. The former school in the City is going to be transformed so that
:14:22. > :14:25.visitors can learn about the life, death and discovery of King Richard
:14:25. > :14:29.III. What is really exciting is what it will bring for the people
:14:29. > :14:31.of the city as well as the people who visit and we will create a
:14:31. > :14:36.world-class visitors' centre that people from all over the place will
:14:36. > :14:40.be able to enjoy. It is in Leicester, and that to me but,
:14:41. > :14:45.because I grew up in Leicester, is the most exciting thing. On the
:14:45. > :14:49.outside this is what it could look like, with plans for a new
:14:49. > :14:52.courtyard garden, Cafe, entrance hall and viewing balcony. If
:14:52. > :14:58.planning permission is granted the work is set to start in earnest at
:14:58. > :15:02.the end of the month. It will cost �4 million addition be finished by
:15:02. > :15:10.next spring to coincide with the retirement of Richard III's remains
:15:10. > :15:13.at Leicester Cathedral. Something to look forward to.
:15:13. > :15:16.Playing outside during the long summer holidays used to be
:15:16. > :15:19.something that all children did, but not any more. So a group of
:15:19. > :15:22.youngsters from Nottingham were part of a special scheme today to
:15:22. > :15:25.re-introduce kids to the delights of the great outdoors. Youngsters
:15:25. > :15:27.in Bulwell were involved in the 26th national Playday event,
:15:27. > :15:37.sampling all sorts of activities like baseball, face-painting and
:15:37. > :15:44.
:15:44. > :15:50.zip-wires. Paul Bradshaw reports. Fun in the sun. These children are
:15:50. > :15:54.making new friends at this park. It is all part of a national play day
:15:54. > :15:58.campaign that is encouraging children to literally get out more.
:15:58. > :16:01.It highlights the importance of play in their lives. This is about
:16:01. > :16:04.saying that you need children -- places for children to play and
:16:05. > :16:08.adults must give them more opportunities to play because that
:16:08. > :16:13.is what children do. They play and they learn and they develop and it
:16:13. > :16:17.is how they grow physically and in every way. A survey released today
:16:17. > :16:23.found that more than 50% of adults said they played at every day when
:16:23. > :16:29.they were growing out. -- growing up, compared to less than a quarter
:16:29. > :16:32.of children today. 40% of today's children say they want to play out
:16:32. > :16:37.more. There are lots of children and you start to get to know them
:16:37. > :16:42.and you start to play with them every day after school. It brings
:16:42. > :16:46.all the community together and it is really nice for the kids to play
:16:46. > :16:50.outside. If you can get an open space to play then you get more fun
:16:50. > :16:54.out of it. It is nice to have this sort of thing so you can supervise
:16:54. > :16:58.and they can still explore. There are lots of activities like face
:16:58. > :17:01.painting and everyone is really friendly. Parents can come and
:17:01. > :17:05.socialise. Quite a lot of parents and brought picnics and it is great
:17:05. > :17:08.to see all the parents and children in the community having a great
:17:08. > :17:11.time. There will be plenty more opportunities to have a good time
:17:11. > :17:20.with more events taking place across the East Midlands throughout
:17:20. > :17:22.the summer. I used to stay out until I got
:17:22. > :17:26.hungry! Still to come, the laundrette
:17:26. > :17:36.worker who's in a bit of a lather. Sue's cleaned up on the
:17:36. > :17:39.Euromillions, now her head's in a spin as she plans how to spend it.
:17:39. > :17:41.Before that it is Natalie with that the sport:
:17:41. > :17:49.First football because there were wins for Leicester, Forest and
:17:49. > :17:53.Derby last night in the first round of the League Cup. Three goals for
:17:53. > :17:56.Forest. Derby in the hat for second round for the first time in five
:17:56. > :18:02.years and another good away win for Leicester.
:18:02. > :18:08.The manager was full of praise for the 1140 City fans who travelled to
:18:08. > :18:14.Wycombe. They did not have to wait long to see a goal. Andy Keogh
:18:14. > :18:23.tripped and David Nugent scored the penalty. Wycombe were a nuisance at
:18:23. > :18:28.times, showing flashes of real quality. It was one-one. With this
:18:28. > :18:34.game fetched two the extra time there was a last-gasp winner that
:18:34. > :18:39.put the foxes in the second round. At the City Ground 10,000 saw
:18:39. > :18:46.Nottingham Forest get up and running in style. Their precise
:18:47. > :18:50.Polish playmaker picked out the man of the match to make it 2-0. Matt
:18:50. > :18:54.Derbyshire was out of form and out of the team last season but his
:18:54. > :18:57.goals pre-season and his looping third last night shows he is
:18:57. > :19:03.growing in confidence and despite conceding a soft goal, Forest were
:19:03. > :19:07.efficient and too good for our people. Derby's first-round victory
:19:07. > :19:13.was at Oldham and it was the quality of the goal that pleased
:19:13. > :19:21.the manager the most. It was worked well right from Richard Kiel in the
:19:21. > :19:25.back. There were seven passes down the field. The thing that made the
:19:25. > :19:32.fans smile the most was this ironic cheeky celebration towards the
:19:32. > :19:36.empty stand. Mansfield were our only team to be knocked out of the
:19:36. > :19:40.Capital One Cup last night at the Tranmere but as the old cliche goes,
:19:40. > :19:45.it gives them a chance to concentrate on the leader, after
:19:46. > :19:48.all this is their first first season back in six long years.
:19:49. > :19:53.And Notts County play tonight in the League Cup 1st round. They're
:19:53. > :19:57.at home to Fleetwood Town but will without Gary Liddle.
:19:57. > :20:05.They have completed a signing of the Celtic midfielder. He was
:20:05. > :20:08.signed in time to be eligible to play this evening.
:20:08. > :20:10.Onto cricket and Notts say they're hoping for a record Twenty20 crowd
:20:10. > :20:13.ahead of their quarter final match against Essex tomorrow. 13 thousand
:20:13. > :20:16.people are expected at Trent Bridge for the evening game. Today the
:20:16. > :20:19.players trained there, including James Taylor who's back from
:20:19. > :20:22.England duty. Notts have been knocked out in the last eight of
:20:22. > :20:28.the T20 for the past two seasons. This year they want to go one
:20:28. > :20:32.better. We obviously played some good
:20:32. > :20:35.cricket and we are a good team and we believe that. There is a lot of
:20:35. > :20:39.confidence going through the group at the moment in all forms of
:20:39. > :20:43.cricket. If we turn up and play I don't think Essex will come near us.
:20:43. > :20:46.The crowds this year have been as good as I can remember since I have
:20:46. > :20:49.been in the club in the last five years and we have been spoiled and
:20:49. > :20:52.the last few years because the Test matches have had excellent weather
:20:52. > :20:55.of fantastic crowds so hopefully we will see that again.
:20:55. > :20:58.Well, with Notts' push for silverware and England and
:20:58. > :21:00.Australia playing in the Ashes, there's been a lot of attention on
:21:00. > :21:03.top level cricket this summer. But for one team in Nottinghamshire,
:21:03. > :21:06.just having the opportunity to play the game is an achievement in
:21:06. > :21:15.itself. The county's blind cricket team is going from strength to
:21:15. > :21:19.strength, as Tom Brown reports. Rarely does a sport get so little
:21:19. > :21:27.coverage but mean so much to its players. This is blind cricket.
:21:27. > :21:29.Here in Nottinghamshire it is a sport on the up. Our team is about
:21:29. > :21:33.everyone having an equal opportunity and creating
:21:34. > :21:37.independent than getting people to have a new social structure and
:21:37. > :21:40.friends but, as well we have a lot of players who want to win and they
:21:41. > :21:44.want to be competitive and play at the next level. The rules of the
:21:44. > :21:49.game a very similar to its fully sighted counterpart but the ball is
:21:49. > :21:54.the size of a small football and contains ball-bearings to help the
:21:54. > :21:57.minimum of four players per team who are totally blind. I lost my
:21:57. > :22:01.fight two years ago and being involved in cricket and having
:22:01. > :22:04.support from my team mates really did help me through what was and
:22:04. > :22:09.still is at times a very difficult period. What is the sport like to
:22:09. > :22:13.play? It is tremendous. It is great to be back into sport. It is
:22:13. > :22:20.competitive. When you lose your site those sort of things go out of
:22:20. > :22:24.the window. This team was set up in 2009. They play in blind cricket's
:22:24. > :22:26.national development lake, one below the country's top division.
:22:27. > :22:31.Am I right in thinking you have even beaten some fully sighted
:22:31. > :22:37.teams? We have indeed! Some people think it will be easy but once they
:22:37. > :22:42.give it a go they realise it is not easy. The cricket club really --
:22:42. > :22:46.the cricket club recently did the Three Peaks Challenge to raise
:22:46. > :22:50.money and they have lofty ambitions and a desire to be judged on not
:22:50. > :22:55.they -- not what they can see but what they can do. The National
:22:55. > :23:01.League awaits? I does. I think they will get a surprise because we are
:23:01. > :23:04.new and people really do not know how good we are. Yet.Yet, exactly
:23:04. > :23:08.And because they are going well at the top of their league, the
:23:08. > :23:11.national league should not be too far away.
:23:11. > :23:14.Well done dies. That is fantastic.
:23:14. > :23:18.So impressive. Now, you know when someone has a
:23:18. > :23:21.big win we often say that they've cleaned up? Well, here's the story
:23:21. > :23:23.of someone who really has! Yes, a launderette worker from
:23:23. > :23:31.Nottinghamshire is celebrating after becoming one of the latest
:23:31. > :23:36.EuroMillions millionaires. James Roberson has more.
:23:36. > :23:42.It is a working life in the launderette and dry-cleaner in
:23:42. > :23:50.Balderton in Inuit that she had had for 15 years. Now pursue call it's
:23:50. > :23:53.life outside work has changed for ever. -- Sioux Cawley's life. Now
:23:53. > :24:02.she can enjoy something of a champagne lifestyle. She is
:24:02. > :24:07.toasting something where she has won a million pounds. I was
:24:07. > :24:11.checking it and checking it and then I got my husband to check and
:24:11. > :24:17.then he asked what it meant because he does not do the lottery it is me
:24:17. > :24:21.that does it. I told him we had won �1 million. She says it will give
:24:21. > :24:26.her, her husband and her family security. We will be all right for
:24:26. > :24:30.retirement now. That has covered that, hasn't it? We do not have to
:24:30. > :24:34.worry about that. My son and my grandson will be all right. As for
:24:34. > :24:37.her win getting her life in has been, absolutely not. She may have
:24:37. > :24:47.taken the lottery to the cleaners but she fully intends to keep
:24:47. > :24:48.
:24:48. > :24:51.working at the launderette. What a lucky Lady X might well done.
:24:51. > :24:54.Well, it's that time of year again when thousands of people flock to a
:24:54. > :24:57.picturesque Derbyshire village for the Bakewell show. The annual two-
:24:57. > :24:59.day event is still going strong after 183 years. Despite the rain,
:24:59. > :25:07.the attractions went ahead, including a horseback display,
:25:08. > :25:11.animal contests, cooking demonstrations and classic cars.
:25:11. > :25:15.Numbers are really dying out now but it is still very important to
:25:15. > :25:19.get out there and get known. At the moment, particularly with of the
:25:19. > :25:23.milk price, it is important to get the public on your side to hope
:25:23. > :25:27.everyone supports us during that time. A really nice show. It is
:25:27. > :25:31.excellent with the stalls and the agricultural content and it is all
:25:31. > :25:35.really interesting for the public. We have been two other shows as
:25:35. > :25:41.well but of course they have been cancelled. It is OK, we have not
:25:41. > :25:45.been here that long but it is quite a big show. I remember when we were
:25:45. > :25:47.there and it poured with rain. Yes, it has been better this year.
:25:47. > :25:51.Yes, it has been better this year. We had you to fact.
:25:51. > :25:54.Thank you very much. The yes, it is quieter now. We do
:25:54. > :25:59.not have the he told the thunderstorms but we have pleasant,
:25:59. > :26:02.warm sunshine. It is down to flabby high pressure which is keeping the
:26:02. > :26:07.weather fronts away from a fat the moment but this little feller is
:26:07. > :26:10.lined up for as later in the week. For the time being it is fairly
:26:11. > :26:14.quiet. There will be some shout was popping up through the day tomorrow
:26:14. > :26:18.but most of us will have the warm sunshine again and it will be
:26:19. > :26:23.warmer tomorrow with the temperatures creeping into the
:26:23. > :26:27.twenties. We have seen a few heavy showers across the south-east. They
:26:27. > :26:31.have not really affected us but they did throw us a bit more cloud
:26:31. > :26:35.in the afternoon. The cloud is already starting to fade away so it
:26:35. > :26:40.is a dry night Again and the cloud will continue to melt away during
:26:40. > :26:44.the night. It is going to be quite chilly for the time of year. These
:26:44. > :26:49.are the temperatures in the towns and city centres but in a more
:26:49. > :26:52.rural spot by the morning we could be as low a six degrees. It will be
:26:52. > :26:56.an epi starred first thing tomorrow morning but we will be compensated
:26:56. > :26:59.with the sunshine. A lot of it around in the morning. The cloud
:26:59. > :27:05.will build into the afternoon and there will be quite a few showers
:27:05. > :27:08.popping up but they will be light and isolated with decent amounts of
:27:08. > :27:13.sunshine in between that. It will feel much warm up with the
:27:13. > :27:23.temperature reaching May the 23 degrees. It will go downhill
:27:23. > :27:23.
:27:23. > :27:27.tomorrow evening as the weather fronts moved in. We will have some
:27:27. > :27:30.rain but it will fizzle out as it reaches us and it will just be
:27:30. > :27:34.spits at the box by the morning. The rain should clear away on
:27:34. > :27:38.Friday and it will be dry and bright on Saturday but more rain on
:27:38. > :27:42.Sunday. It sounds like a flappy high to me!
