This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies and me, Dominic Heale. | :00:06. | :00:11. | |
Tonight: A deaf couple survive a devastating gas explosion at their | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
home. It is thought they owed their lives | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
to a special alarm system installed by the fire service. We fitted the | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
alarms to the premises not that long ago when we realised we had people | :00:25. | :00:32. | |
here with hearing impairments. type, a new twist in the Hannah | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
Smith bullying case. And the tale of two harvests. | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
And it is all aboard at the sailing club as they secure �15,000 from the | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
:00:53. | :00:57. | ||
Welcome to Monday's programme. First tonight, a couple from | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
Leicestershire have had a remarkable escape after a gas explosion | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
destroyed most of their home. The blast happened in the village of | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
Burbage at around 3am and caused a fire that engulfed the bungalow. The | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
couple are deaf and were only saved by a special fire alarm. | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
We can go live now to our reporter Tom Brown. He is at the scene. Good | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
evening. Good evening. I am standing directly | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
in front of the bungalow. You can see some of the damage caused by | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
what was thought to be a gas explosion and fire. Round the back, | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
much of the roof has also been damaged. As this was going on, the | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
couple who are deaf were fast asleep. It could have had a tragic | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
end to the night. Thanks to the special smoke alarm system involving | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
a vibrating pad under the bed and a strobe light in the bedroom, the | :01:59. | :02:08. | |
couple woke up and escaped. They were very fortunate. The police | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
were reasonably fast in attendance and the occupants could not get out | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
of the bedroom because of the fire. I understand they tried to throw | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
some chairs at the window but failed to break it. I understand it was the | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
police officers that broke the window. What do you know about the | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
state of the couple now? I spoke to them this morning through a sign | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
language interpreter. They are fine. It was a horrific position at | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
that time of the morning but they have no ill effects from the smoke | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
and very happy to be the way they are. You must be delighted.We are | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
always delighted. We fitted the death alarms to this premise is not | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
that long ago when we realised that we had people here with hearing | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
impairments. To know that it works and I have spoken to the person who | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
fitted it and they are very pleased as well. The police have not named | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
the couple officially yet. Let us have a quick chat with their | :03:09. | :03:19. | |
:03:19. | :03:19. | ||
neighbour. What did you see? I heard banging. Within minutes, the police | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
work back and said that we had to evacuate because of an explosion we | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
were really concerned about the couple because we did not know | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
whether they were out of the property -- the police came back. | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
What has been the feeling among the community? This is not the sort of | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
thing you expect to happen, and explosion. It is surreal. Thank you. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
The couple ran a sign language class out of their home here so not only | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
have they lost where they live but where they work. Today the feeling | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
in the community is one of relief that the deaf couple were able to | :03:59. | :04:09. | |
:04:09. | :04:10. | ||
walk away from the burning house. A teenage girl and a woman have been | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
arrested after allegedly making more than 400 hoax calls to the police in | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
the space of just six days - the same number received for the whole | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
of last year. The pair, aged 16 and 20 and both from the Osmaston area | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
of Derby, were arrested on suspicion of causing a public nuisance after | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
making the calls in June. Both have been released pending further | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
enquiries. Derbyshire Police say nearly 800 hours were spent dealing | :04:30. | :04:40. | |
:04:40. | :04:52. | ||
with hoax calls last year. It would result in delaying emergency | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
responses and somebody's life could be lost. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
It's understood the Derby-based train maker Bombardier has submitted | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
its bid for the �1 billion Crossrail contract. Today is the deadline for | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
firms competing for the project - an order for 60 trains for a new route | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
across London. Bombardier missed out on the lucrative Thameslink deal | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
which was given to Siemens. But the German company's already withdrawn | :05:15. | :05:24. | |
from the running for Crossrail. Still to come: The Government | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
announces tough new measures to control TB in cattle. | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
Affected farmers say it'll be pointless without tackling the | :05:29. | :05:39. | |
:05:39. | :05:48. | ||
disease in badgers first. There's a new twist in the tragic | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
death of Hannah Smith, the Leicestershire teenager found dead | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
at her home ten days ago. Her father has always said the 14-year-old | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
killed herself after being bullied online. | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
But now it's being reported that Hannah may have written the majority | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
of the abusive messages herself from anonymous accounts on the social | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
networking site Ask.fm. Eleanor Garnier reports. | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
Just 14 years old when she took her own life. Hannah Smith's father has | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
always claimed it was cyber bullying that drove his daughter to kill | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
herself. Now it is being reported that she may have written the | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
majority of the abusive messages herself from anonymous accounts on | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
the social networking site Ask.fm. The company has apparently analysed | :06:31. | :06:39. | |
the addresses of the computer and apparently 95% of the abuse came | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
from Hannah's IP address. You can view an IP address like a telephone | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
number for a landline. You do not know what person was using the | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
connection. It could be anyone in any machine in the house or it could | :06:55. | :07:04. | |
be Wi-Fi or a hacker. Today Ask.fm told the BBC that claims the | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
messages had been written by Hannah had come from an undisclosed source | :07:09. | :07:18. | |
and not from Ask.fm in an official capacity. Officers acting on behalf | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
of the coroner has secured a computer and mobile phone as part of | :07:23. | :07:30. | |
the investigation into the settlements at delete macro -- the | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
circumstances of her death. How easy would it be to work out who exactly | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
posted the abusive messages? This can be really difficult to find the | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
user from the IP address. Services can be paid for to change the IP | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
address. These are services that people use for downloading films and | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
music illegally. They can change the IP address to make it difficult to | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
track who you are. Clues but no answers as to what food drove -- as | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
to what drove Hannah Smith to take her own life as her family prepare | :08:07. | :08:16. | |
for her funeral. It's being claimed that up to 8,000 | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
jobs could be created as a result of Nottingham's tram extension. Work on | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
two new lines is due to be completed next summer. The city council says | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
that already almost half of the construction jobs have gone to local | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
people. Mike O'Sullivan has this report. | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
It will stretch out for 17 kilometres across Nottingham. The | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
city's tram extension has already created around 1000 construction | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
jobs. I was unemployed for about five or six months. I was laid off | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
in January. Looking for work was very stressful. It is a big project. | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
To be part of this project, it is an honour. I was unemployed for a few | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
months. It was really difficult. They did not seem to be a lot of | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
work. They put me through a six-week college course to get a guaranteed | :09:11. | :09:21. | |
:09:21. | :09:22. | ||
interview for the tram work. It is going to cost five and had a �70 | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
million. The city council is asking me contractors to deliver as many | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
job opportunities as possible to local people -- it is going to cost | :09:33. | :09:40. | |
570 million jobs. 320 jobs have apparently gone to people in the | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
city. As well as the construction jobs on-site, there are claims the | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
tram extension will create 8000 jobs when it is completed. All of those | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
jobs will not be in construction. They will be as a result of the | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
economic benefit. That is proven in all sorts of cities all over the | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
world. Are people here convinced of the benefits of the tram? It is | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
causing chaos at the moment. We will see. I have not been on one yet but | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
I cannot wait for it to be up and running. I think it is a waste of | :10:15. | :10:22. | |
money. We have a perfectly good bus system. Here is a man who can see | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
both sides. He lives here and now works at the tram contractor's depot | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
after being out of work for 16 months. A lot of my friends were on | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
the trams. Without that, they would still be unemployed like I would be. | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
It is only a good thing in my eyes. But lots of people have different | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
views. Construction work is due to finish next summer. The first tram | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
is due to start running in winter, 2014. | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
And tomorrow Mike's looking at one of the biggest engineering | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
challenges facing the tram - lifting a massive bridge into place next to | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
the Queen's Medical Centre. Farmers in the East Midlands say new | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
plans to control TB in cattle will be pointless without tackling the | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
disease in wildlife first. Today the Department of Food, | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
Environment and Rural Affairs announced a raft of new regulations | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
aimed at farmers in ten counties, including Derbyshire, Leicestershire | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
and Nottinghamshire. James Roberson reports. | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
There have been cattle on this farm for decades but for the last nine | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
years they have been periodically affected by bovine TB. The farmer | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
says the TB has come from the spread of the disease in badgers which | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
mixed with cattle in Barnes and leave infected droppings in the | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
fields. The disease came in the badgers. There is no disputing that. | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
You know that because of the different kinds of TB that have been | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
identified. Most of the badgers died a horrible death with TB. Derbyshire | :11:55. | :12:05. | |
:12:05. | :12:08. | ||
is at the wave of bovine TB spreading across the country. | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
important that we try to make sure that it does not spread any further. | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
That is going to impose some disciplines but I hope they will | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
realise that it is for the good not only of their own cattle but also of | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
their neighbours' in preventing the further spread. The farmers say it | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
is little use without tackling the TB infections in wildlife. All of | :12:30. | :12:37. | |
these measures are only against Catalan nobody has the political | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
will to tackle it in wildlife. This is a very dangerous disease -- only | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
against cattle. Nearly 40,000 cattle a year are being killed. Once it is | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
in the wildlife, you have a major problem to solve. We do not know | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
where the front edge is. There has been spreading eastwards for the | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
past few years. DEFRA say that money is available for badger vaccinations | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
and they say they are assessing TB infection rates in badgers from | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
those killed by traffic. Staying with rural life and the | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
harvest is in full swing, as you can hardly have failed to notice. | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
To quote a well-known harvest hymn, they're bringing in the sheaves. But | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
will farmers be rejoicing? Well, it depends. If they planted | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
rapeseed last autumn, probably not. I took a trip out to a 1,700-acre | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
arable farm south of Nottingham to find out more. | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
From afar, it looks like a bumper crop. As ever for farmers it is | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
about quality not quantity. This field is a perfect example of the | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
problems faced by some farmers. On the left of the field, the wheat | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
crop harvested this weekend, excellent quality. On the right, | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
this should have been rape seed oil but the quality was so patchy in the | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
spring they dug it up and replanted it with barley. This is the good | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
news. Quality wheat harvested this weekend at the rate of over three | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
tonnes per acre helped by the sunshine. We only started on | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
Saturday and we are about a third of the way through. Depending on the | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
weather and the rest of the quality, it remains to be seen. At | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
the moment, the quality is high and it will produce the best quality | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
flour. For rape seed being harvested today the opposite is the case. The | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
cold spring delayed growth, pigeons took the seat and weeds fill the | :14:36. | :14:45. | |
gaps. The end result, a poor crack that is costly to clean and process. | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
These are weeds and this is the rape. It has got to be cleaned and | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
served and we will get a small amount. It will cover the cost of | :14:54. | :15:02. | |
the combine harvester. It is a salvage operation rather than a | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
farming operation. Farmers like this one need a fortnight of fine weather | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
to finish the wheat harvest. For those whose rape seed has suffered, | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
there may not be a lot of profit on the balance sheet went always safely | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
gathered in. What a lovely colour, the gold. | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
Still to come, when recycling is music to the ears. We meet a man who | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
makes instruments out of everything from furniture rails to rusty | :15:29. | :15:39. | |
:15:39. | :15:40. | ||
umbrellas. Sports clubs across the East | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
Midlands have won almost �2 million worth of funding. | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
It's part of a wider �40-million project from Sport England in the | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
bid to keep the Olympic legacy alive. Rebecca Sheeran reports from | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
one club in Rutland to benefit where the funding is proving a lifeline. | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
It might be over the years since the 2012 Olympics, but here at the | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
sailing club, the idea of sportsmanship is very much alive. | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
are supporting the two army bases in the area, as we have done with the | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
RAF. We are giving those families an opportunity to enjoy sport. It is a | :16:17. | :16:25. | |
sporting club that is their to improve people's lives. Now they | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
have caught the winds of good fortune, securing �50,000 of | :16:29. | :16:37. | |
National Lottery funding from Sport England to improve train -- improved | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
changing rooms. We wanted to be more family friendly. We want adults and | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
young people to be able to get changed separately. And | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
schoolteachers, we want them to feel like they are in a safe environment. | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
3000 people come here to use the club from schoolchildren to the | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
Army. The management say that the funding is going to be vital to make | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
sure it continues to thrive. It was all hands on deck today. Let us hope | :17:09. | :17:16. | |
thousands more will fail here in the future. -- will sail here. | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
Messing about on the water. I fancy the idea of learning to sail | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
there. Sport proper. | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
Lots to come, including Leicester at home and a proud day for Mansfield. | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
But let's start our round up with two away wins for Derby and Forest. | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
The Rams' victory at last season's play-off semi-finalists Brighton was | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
a particularly good performance. Natalie Jackson begins by the | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
seaside. Derby in their new kit were on top against Brighton who have | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
been totally out of sorts. When the home team went ahead, it came as a | :17:51. | :17:58. | |
bit of a shock. We started excellently. I think it was | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
Brighton's first meaningful attack. It led to a goal. We are | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
disappointed with that. To come back and win the game, brilliant | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
performance. This is how they did it. Two goals from Chris Martin. The | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
first was built on a smart turn, lots of persistent and a little | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
luck. The second was a goalkeeper's nightmare. Chris Martin arrived at | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
speed to bury it in the goal. Last season's waveform turned firmly on | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
its head. -- away form. Forrest worked hard | :18:37. | :18:45. | |
but left it late at Blackburn Rovers. We had some chances. You get | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
what you deserve in this business. What they deserved finally arrived | :18:49. | :18:59. | |
:18:59. | :19:02. | ||
in injury time. They never came up. Open goal! He drives it in from 20 | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
yards. He popped up, wonderful performance, wonderful goal. | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
Delighted for him and the substitutes who made the huge | :19:11. | :19:20. | |
:19:21. | :19:21. | ||
difference. Two games and two wins in the championship for Forest. | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
Speaking of Forest, signs this afternoon of a resolution to the | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
crisis affecting the Nottingham Forest Ladies side. They had said | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
they were a week away from going bust. But officials at the men's | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
side say the ladies who are currently independent would be | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
welcome as part of one structure at Forest. We'll see how it develops. | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
At Leicester City, the first home game of the season. For the Foxes | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
faithful, a chance to see whether the team that came so close last | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
season can go one better. Angela joined an expectant crowd at the | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
King Power Stadium. Always a special atmosphere for the | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
first home game of the season. After the emotional roller-coaster of the | :19:58. | :20:08. | |
:20:08. | :20:09. | ||
last campaign, what are the fans expecting this time? I think we are | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
going to do it this season. This is the first game, we want to win and | :20:15. | :20:25. | |
:20:25. | :20:26. | ||
win well. I would like automatic promotion. Come on, Lester! High | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
expectations. Can this team fulfil them? They put plenty of pressure on | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
the defence and there was no lack of effort but no one could break the | :20:34. | :20:44. | |
:20:44. | :20:56. | ||
the substitute Chris . Denied by the woodwork. It ended in a stalemate. | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
game of few chances, two disciplined side is out there. It was all is | :21:02. | :21:12. | |
going to be tough for one of the sides to win. Next up, Derby County. | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
In League One, Notts County had a bit of a shocker at Meadow Lane. | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
Peterborough, a Championship side last season, were never going to | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
easy opponents. Notts started really well, taking the lead through Dean | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
Leacock. But after that, the traffic was almost all one way. The visitors | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
dominating the match and scoring four times before Yoann Arquin put | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
the consolation penalty into the back of the net. Notts, a side that | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
still need to settle. As well as Leicester, we had another | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
nil-nil draw over the weekend. But the clean sheet could not possibly | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
have mattered more to Mansfield Town. It gave them their first | :21:47. | :21:57. | |
:21:57. | :22:04. | ||
football-league point for five This is now the dressing room for | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
the footballing team again. It means so much to the players, the fans, | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
the town. It means that even though the manager provided Glory, the | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
pressure stays on. The nature of the beast, one minute you are a hero and | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
the next minute everybody hates you. It is important to look forward and | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
try and keep momentum going and keep winning. That is as simple as that. | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
In the end, the first home league game in five years was entertaining | :22:36. | :22:44. | |
but scoreless. Plenty to be optimistic about. They need to | :22:44. | :22:54. | |
believe in themselves a little bit more. We are not going to be bad. | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
for the fans, they are just pleased to be back. | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
In Cricket, the one-day YB40 competition is nearing its climax. | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
Remember, it all builds up to a big final at Lords. A comprehensive win | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
for Notts Outlaws over Northants yesterday means a home victory | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
tomorrow over Worcestershire might well see them safely into the | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
semi-finals from their group. Also yesterday, Leicestershire beat | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
Yorkshire with a ball to spare at Grace Road. A result which keeps | :23:18. | :23:27. | |
them in the semifinal race. Derbyshire on the fringes. | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
Finally, well done to Long Eaton's Will Sharman. The hurdler did | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
brilliantly to grab a place in the 110-metre hurdles final at the World | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
Championships in Moscow. He ran it just a few minutes ago. He finished | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
fifth. After a few years of injuries, he will be delighted. | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
What can you make from old furniture rails, rusty umbrellas and biscuit | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
tins? Well, a guitar it seems. Or a banjo, a violin or a double bass. | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
That's what David Blanchard makes from items he finds in junk and | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
antique shops. But as Carolyn Moses reports, there's one thing he admits | :23:59. | :24:09. | |
:24:09. | :24:09. | ||
he can't yet turn his hand to. In a small loft in a small | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
Derbyshire village, work is under way creating a small string section. | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
While these might not suit a large orchestra, they would certainly suit | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
and unusual one. These are cookie tin instruments. Violins, guitars | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
and double basses he has made since February. It is an American idea | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
with a twist. I tried to make them appropriate to the ten, somehow. In | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
my head, anyway. This one because it is round like a banjo and I thought | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
the image... I don't know, she just looks like she might play a banjo. I | :24:47. | :24:56. | |
try to use salvaged things. This has got an old fork, silver-plated | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
nickel fork. Most of my instruments they have been using copper nails | :25:00. | :25:10. | |
:25:10. | :25:12. | ||
for the fret not. -- nuts. I have used umbrellas, strimmer cables. | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
Makes it more interesting. With all of these strings to his bow, what is | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
next for David? Learning to play them, it seems. The natural thing to | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
do would be to give you a cheering, but unfortunately, I can't. That is | :25:29. | :25:39. | |
on my to do list. The music you could hear was done on | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
one of his instruments but not by him. | :25:43. | :25:53. | |
:25:53. | :25:56. | ||
and showers again. The blustery westerly wind as well. Things are | :25:56. | :26:04. | |
coming down nicely now which is perfect timing. The peak of the | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
Perseids meteor shower is happening tonight. The skies of clearing up | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
for this. If your eyes to the skies tonight, you could see as many 60 | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
shooting stars in the space of an hour. We have got a few showers to | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
get through first. They are starting to clear. They are being blown in on | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
the brisk north-westerly wind. They are fading away now. A dry night | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
with clear skies. Turning a little bit chilly with temperatures just | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
about holding into double figures in towns and cities. In the rural | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
spots, we will be down at seven or eight degrees by the morning. | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
Tomorrow morning, it starts fairly promising once again. We have rain | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
heading our way later on. If you are up early, you will get the best of | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
the sunshine. The clouds will increase and they will start to | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
thicken later. Like today, quite hit and miss. Northern parts of | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
Derbyshire may see dry weather all day long. A lot of cloud tomorrow. | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
Temperatures disappointing. If you get up to 20, you're doing well. | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
Similar story on Wednesday. Starting dry and bright. The cloud will | :27:17. | :27:26. | |
increase and patchy rain later on. If we get any breaks in the cloud on | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
Thursday, temperatures could go up into the mid-20s. | :27:29. | :27:34. |
