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