:00:00. > :00:12.I This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies and me, Dominic Heale.
:00:13. > :00:23.Tonight, the single punch that destroyed a man's life. Brian Hogan
:00:24. > :00:26.is now blind and paralysed. One reckless act, one moment of
:00:27. > :00:36.craziness. It is just not worth it. No way.
:00:37. > :00:40.Also, the expats whose dream of a life in the sun is in ruins. I
:00:41. > :00:47.worked for my pension, and it is all gone. Plus, with hundreds more
:00:48. > :00:52.children skipping school, I am at a primary taking a tough stance on
:00:53. > :01:10.truancy. And as the Princess Royal pops by,
:01:11. > :01:12.and eager puppy steals the show. Good evening. Welcome to Monday's
:01:13. > :01:15.programme. First tonight, the victim of a
:01:16. > :01:18.drunken attack who was left blind and paralysed is supporting a police
:01:19. > :01:21.campaign to tackle a rise in violent crime.
:01:22. > :01:25.Brian Hogan was hit in the face with a single punch during a night out in
:01:26. > :01:30.the city. He was in a coma for three months and, four years on, is still
:01:31. > :01:34.living in a rehabilitation centre. The 36`year`old says that one moment
:01:35. > :01:37.snatched his life away from him. And he is now backing
:01:38. > :01:43.Nottinghamshire Police's Alliance Against Violence campaign. Sarah
:01:44. > :01:46.Teale has the details. This campaign comes in the light of
:01:47. > :01:50.new figures which show violence in the county is rising. In the 12
:01:51. > :01:54.months up to this June it has gone up by 6%. And the numbers are large.
:01:55. > :02:01.We are talking around 13,000 cases of violent crime committed in the
:02:02. > :02:04.last year. Of those, almost half resulted in injury. Ironically, this
:02:05. > :02:09.campaign comes after a weekend which saw three men stabbed during a fight
:02:10. > :02:12.between a group of around 20 people. It happened outside the gate`crasher
:02:13. > :02:17.nightclub in the city centre in the early hours of Saturday morning.
:02:18. > :02:21.Police say it is exactly that sort of alcohol`fuelled violence they
:02:22. > :02:32.want to stop. And one man who knows more than anyone the impact violent
:02:33. > :02:37.crime can have is Brian Hogan. Brian Hogan was once fit and active,
:02:38. > :02:40.with a promising future. He was on a normal night out with friends in
:02:41. > :02:49.Nottingham in 2009 when a single unprovoked punch changed his life
:02:50. > :02:53.forever. Today, I am a blind man. I cannot see at all today. I had to
:02:54. > :02:59.learn how to walk, and how to talk again, a bit like a baby does. When
:03:00. > :03:02.you have to learn those things all over again when you are an adult, it
:03:03. > :03:09.is much, much more difficult, it is very hard. Just say when you have
:03:10. > :03:10.had enough. You are doing well. Brian 0
:03:11. > :03:14.had enough. You are doing well. Brian was in a coma for three
:03:15. > :03:19.months. Now 36, he had to move back to Ireland to be near family, and
:03:20. > :03:24.lives in a rehabilitation centre. When you go from being a very busy
:03:25. > :03:31.professional person, very independent, fiercely independent,
:03:32. > :03:35.very active, very sporty and fit, to being in a wheelchair in the dark,
:03:36. > :03:40.you would do anything to get your life back on track, really.
:03:41. > :03:46.Brian is not the only victim. Since 2001, eight people have died from
:03:47. > :03:54.the force of one punch, including 19`year`old Liam, who was hit just
:03:55. > :03:58.once outside the Halo club in 2009. His death was described in court as
:03:59. > :04:06.another act of senseless city centre violence. Brian's attacker had drunk
:04:07. > :04:10.around ten pints before he hit him. The damage you can cause to another
:04:11. > :04:16.person, the way you can blow their lives apart, it is massive, really.
:04:17. > :04:22.Through one reckless act, one moment of craziness. It's just not worth
:04:23. > :04:26.it. No way. The consequences there of just one
:04:27. > :04:31.single act of violence. What else will this campaign focus on? It
:04:32. > :04:34.focuses on many things, and it runs for three weeks.
:04:35. > :04:37.It will look at hate crime, domestic violence and robbery, but the main
:04:38. > :04:41.push is to tackle this kind of violence at night, and that is all
:04:42. > :04:45.tied in to do with alcohol, and police say a lot of the problem is
:04:46. > :04:49.this culture of pre`loading, people who go out and get drunk before they
:04:50. > :04:54.have even gone out. They are the people that are most likely to get
:04:55. > :04:59.caught up in violence, even as `` either as a victim or an offender.
:05:00. > :05:02.Police reckon half of 18 to 35`year`olds do that, get drunk
:05:03. > :05:06.before they go out, and the police say a major part of the campaign is
:05:07. > :05:13.to stop them from the in the city at all. In the towns and cities you may
:05:14. > :05:16.see more officers on the streets, directing people to leave because
:05:17. > :05:19.they are too drunk. You will see officers on transport stopping
:05:20. > :05:23.people coming into towns and cities because they are already drunk, they
:05:24. > :05:28.have brought and guile and drunk to access prior to their night out. We
:05:29. > :05:31.have seen some occasional horrendous incidents where one punch has
:05:32. > :05:33.destroyed the life of an individual and meant somebody else has got a
:05:34. > :05:35.significant prison 0 and meant somebody else has got a
:05:36. > :05:38.significant prison sentence. When people have drunk too much alcohol
:05:39. > :05:42.they do not make rational decisions, and that can be the end result.
:05:43. > :05:44.The police say they want the public's support for their Alliance
:05:45. > :05:47.Against Violence. And they will be naming and shaming anyone charged
:05:48. > :05:55.with alcohol`related or violent crime in the next few weeks.
:05:56. > :05:58.A couple from Rutland whose dream retirement villa is about to be
:05:59. > :06:00.demolished say their lives have been ruined.
:06:01. > :06:06.Peter and Margaret Hegarty used their life savings of ?150,000 to
:06:07. > :06:09.buy the villa. But, to their horror, they discovered it had been built
:06:10. > :06:13.illegally. They are now waiting for it to be
:06:14. > :06:19.bulldozed and want to warn others about what has happened. Helen Astle
:06:20. > :06:24.reports. For Peter and Margaret Hegarty, it
:06:25. > :06:27.was their dream home. A villa in Andalusia, where they could spend
:06:28. > :06:30.their retirement. Only a year after they moved in, they were told their
:06:31. > :06:35.villa had been built illegally, and it would have to be demolished. For
:06:36. > :06:41.Margaret, the stress was too much. It took me through to the hospital,
:06:42. > :06:47.and they said I had a heart attack. I was in intensive care for a little
:06:48. > :06:52.while, and then it happened again. About a year, ten months, later, it
:06:53. > :06:56.happened again. After a legal battle the couple moved back to the UK.
:06:57. > :07:02.They now live in a rented flat, and they are waiting for their villa to
:07:03. > :07:06.be demolished. It has made a difference. Our social life... To
:07:07. > :07:10.live in a villa with a big heart and then come back here... It just
:07:11. > :07:16.changes everything. You don't have the same money as you had before. We
:07:17. > :07:21.don't have any savings now. That makes a big difference as well. The
:07:22. > :07:25.couple have lost around ?150,000. Last day, a Spanish court ruled
:07:26. > :07:29.their builder should pay them compensation. They are still
:07:30. > :07:34.waiting. I worked 30 odd years for my pension, my redundancy money, and
:07:35. > :07:43.now it is all gone. Very devastating. It is. In what we? They
:07:44. > :07:48.have ruined our life. We have got nothing. This has been hanging over
:07:49. > :07:53.us for eight years and it is still dragging on, it does not seem to be
:07:54. > :07:56.going away. You see television, people going over to buy cheap
:07:57. > :08:01.properties. They are mad. Absolutely mad. Peter and Margaret say they
:08:02. > :08:08.don't know what the future holds, but they will never return to Spain.
:08:09. > :08:15.Still to come: We heeded the warnings, we battened down the
:08:16. > :08:20.hatches, but the wind stayed away. I think I have got some explaining
:08:21. > :08:23.to do! It was closer than you think, we can count ourselves lucky. Find
:08:24. > :08:32.out what happened with me later on in the programme.
:08:33. > :08:35.More details from Kaye later, but, yes, we were lucky. The great storm
:08:36. > :08:38.steered away from the East Midlands and we were spared much of the
:08:39. > :08:42.anticipated flooding and damage. But we didn't get away scot`free.
:08:43. > :08:46.Train services were badly affected and are only now beginning to
:08:47. > :08:54.recover. Our chief news reporter Quentin Rayner is outside Nottingham
:08:55. > :08:59.station with the latest. 0 Good evening, Quentin. Good evening.
:09:00. > :09:03.Tonight, East Midlands Trains is still unable to get any services in
:09:04. > :09:06.and out of St Pancras and won't be for the rest of the day. The Midland
:09:07. > :09:09.Mainline remains closed between Luton and London in both directions
:09:10. > :09:17.while damage is repaired in Hertfordshire. As you can see here,
:09:18. > :09:20.trees have fallen onto overhead power lines, and mains power lines
:09:21. > :09:24.from pylons have also fallen onto the track. In the last couple of
:09:25. > :09:28.hours, the East Coast Mainline has started to get trains in and out of
:09:29. > :09:31.Kings Cross. They will be travelling slower between Stevenage and London
:09:32. > :09:33.on a reduced timetable. Flooding and fallen trees disrupted commuters
:09:34. > :09:43.this morning, including these travelling from Grantham.
:09:44. > :09:47.I brought my wife down to catch the 5:44am to London King's Cross. That
:09:48. > :09:53.was cancelled. They said to get on the 6:17am to go to Peterborough.
:09:54. > :09:56.That would catch the 7am to London. That was cancelled. I have just
:09:57. > :10:01.heard it will be four hours before any trains get to London. My husband
:10:02. > :10:05.is heading to London, I was just ringing him, so we will see how the
:10:06. > :10:09.trains. My train has been cancelled, I have got to wait an hour, so I
:10:10. > :10:13.will be late for work. I checked the website this morning but it was
:10:14. > :10:26.off`line. The servers have probably crashed through overload.
:10:27. > :10:30.So what about tomorrow? East Coast Mainline plan to run as near normal
:10:31. > :10:33.a service as possible from tomorrow morning. They do expect some
:10:34. > :10:39.retiming but the frequency of trains should be the same. East Midlands
:10:40. > :10:42.trains says it is reliant on network rail completing repairs. They say
:10:43. > :10:45.they will have teams out all night and are confident there will be a
:10:46. > :10:49.full service tomorrow morning on the Midland mainline. Check for updates
:10:50. > :10:56.before travelling tomorrow. If you do have a ticket waited for today,
:10:57. > :10:59.it will be valid or two days on East Midlands trains and will be valid
:11:00. > :11:03.just for tomorrow on the East Coast mainline. Thank you.
:11:04. > :11:06.Derbyshire Police have dropped two allegations of rape against
:11:07. > :11:09.convicted killer Mick Philpott. It is believed two women who made the
:11:10. > :11:14.historic allegations have told police they no longer want to pursue
:11:15. > :11:17.their claims. Officers say there is insufficient evidence to put to the
:11:18. > :11:21.Crown Prosecution Service. In April, Philpott was found guilty of the
:11:22. > :11:27.manslaughter of his six children in a house fire in Derby.
:11:28. > :11:31.People living in Loughborough are being asked for their views on plans
:11:32. > :11:35.to allow buses through the town centre. A portion of the A6 in the
:11:36. > :11:39.town will be pedestrianised as part of a transport scheme costing ?19
:11:40. > :11:42.million. Over the next six weeks, Leicestershire County Council wants
:11:43. > :11:51.feedback on whether buses should be allowed in the pedestrian area or
:11:52. > :11:55.routed away from the town centre. Next, could a railway line axed by
:11:56. > :12:02.Dr Beeching in the 1960s provide a much cheaper alternative to HS2? The
:12:03. > :12:06.Great Central Railway used to link Nottingham and Leicester with
:12:07. > :12:09.London. The idea of re`opening the line has
:12:10. > :12:13.been put forward ahead of an updated Government report on HS2, which is
:12:14. > :12:19.due out tomorrow. Mike O'Sullivan reports.
:12:20. > :12:24.Could the great Central line become great again? These days in our
:12:25. > :12:28.region, the great Central line is a ten mile Heritage route between
:12:29. > :12:33.Loughborough and Leicester. Axed by Dr Beeching in the 1960s, it once
:12:34. > :12:36.ran between Nottingham and London. Now there is an idea that much of
:12:37. > :12:43.the great central should become operational once more. It would not
:12:44. > :12:49.affect the Heritage line, but the boss says the rest could become an
:12:50. > :12:52.alternative to HS2. That is currently costing ?50 billion. The
:12:53. > :12:58.government said all parties have got to agree and, if they agree, they
:12:59. > :13:01.would support HS2. If that failed and there was then another
:13:02. > :13:06.alternative, this looks like a good alternative. The disused great
:13:07. > :13:09.Central line would become part of the freight line between the Channel
:13:10. > :13:15.Tunnel and Glasgow. The cost, ?6 billion. Services could then be
:13:16. > :13:21.carried on upgraded existing passenger routes, says the Labour MP
:13:22. > :13:24.behind the plan. I think HS2 is not sensible, personally. I think there
:13:25. > :13:28.are all sorts of sensible alternatives. It is not necessary,
:13:29. > :13:33.expensive, and we should invest the money in other schemes, including
:13:34. > :13:36.the GB frequent. This retired railway worker started as an
:13:37. > :13:43.apprentice on the great central. He believes it can be rebuilt. South of
:13:44. > :13:50.Leicester, you could use that very well. It would be good for freight
:13:51. > :13:53.macro everything. If it did make a comeback, it would be one of the
:13:54. > :14:07.great return journeys in railway history. I wonder if that idea will
:14:08. > :14:11.fly. Still to come: Notts County looking
:14:12. > :14:13.for their eighth manager in the space of just four years.
:14:14. > :14:16.Chris Kiwomya departed after Saturday's home defeat at Meadow
:14:17. > :14:22.Lane. We'll be talking to Magpies' chief executive Jim Rodwell.
:14:23. > :14:24.There has been a marked rise in the number of children skipping school
:14:25. > :14:27.here in the East Midlands. Latest figures suggest an extra 2,500
:14:28. > :14:29.pupils missed lessons in the past year alone.
:14:30. > :14:32.But schools are taking action against truancy. Some are now
:14:33. > :14:36.informing parents straightaway, via texts and emails, that their
:14:37. > :14:45.children have not turned up. Jo Healey reports.
:14:46. > :14:49.If you are the parent of a child here at hillocks primary and your
:14:50. > :14:52.child does not turn up for school or skipped lessons, you will instantly
:14:53. > :14:58.get a text or an e`mail to let you know. Because they miss school, they
:14:59. > :15:02.won't learn anything. When the teacher asks you a question, you
:15:03. > :15:07.won't know what to do. You don't really know anything. I think it is
:15:08. > :15:16.bad because you won't learn anything and get a good job. Just how bad is
:15:17. > :15:19.truancy here in the East Midlands? Recently it went up from 5% to 5.4%.
:15:20. > :15:28.That .4% might not sound very much, but, in real terms, that is more
:15:29. > :15:36.than 2400 pupils, extra pupils, missing school. But does this really
:15:37. > :15:40.help? They see the texts, access their e`mails, see we are continuing
:15:41. > :15:46.to raise attendance issues so they know it is a high priority for us as
:15:47. > :15:50.a school. Does it work? I think it definitely works. I have just done a
:15:51. > :15:53.trail of attendance for the last half term and there were a lot of
:15:54. > :16:00.children who have improved their attendance based on the work we have
:16:01. > :16:03.done. Many schools have taken up the advantage that this offers and it
:16:04. > :16:06.means they can get in touch with parents quickly, find out reasons
:16:07. > :16:11.for the absence, and do something about it. And they are doing plenty
:16:12. > :16:21.here to try to tackle truancy head`on.
:16:22. > :16:24.Of course, everyone here had an exemplary attendance record.
:16:25. > :16:26.Including Colin, who is here with the sport.
:16:27. > :16:29.Absolutely. Notts County's chief executive, Jim
:16:30. > :16:32.Rodwell, has admitted the club's board have not been good at choosing
:16:33. > :16:35.managers. Saturday's home defeat was followed by Chris Kiwomya becoming
:16:36. > :16:39.the seventh manager to leave in just four years. And today Jim Rodwell
:16:40. > :16:45.told me it was all because of results.
:16:46. > :16:49.We are very disappointed to see Chris go, he has worked hard and
:16:50. > :16:52.been diligent, but at the end of the day we are a result driven industry
:16:53. > :16:55.and we have to win games of football. If we don't, it affects
:16:56. > :17:00.the business and we have to do something about it. Ultimately, the
:17:01. > :17:03.manager becomes the fall guy. Do you have questions to and they hear? If
:17:04. > :17:08.we look at your record, no one can blame the club for hands back and
:17:09. > :17:13.Steve Cotterell going, they volunteered. And you had Craig Short
:17:14. > :17:20.for 4.5 months, Paul Ince for five months, three managers in succession
:17:21. > :17:24.all of whom got less than a year. Surely you have got to look at
:17:25. > :17:27.yourselves? Without any shadow of a doubt there is a lot of
:17:28. > :17:31.soul`searching this weekend. Absolutely right, ie, we as a board
:17:32. > :17:35.of directors, choose the managers, and clearly we have not been very
:17:36. > :17:38.good at it or we would not be having this conversation again. If you
:17:39. > :17:41.listen to a lot of fans, they felt the performance was poor on
:17:42. > :17:46.Saturday. Obviously the result was poor. How do you find someone to
:17:47. > :17:51.pick that up and turn it around now? I think the players are better
:17:52. > :17:54.than they are proving at the moment. There is a lack of confidence. But
:17:55. > :17:59.we have got to stick together and try to move forward, to do something
:18:00. > :18:02.about it. Fundamentally, will this not be about finding someone and
:18:03. > :18:07.giving them two years, no matter what, just letting them do it? You
:18:08. > :18:11.can look at it both ways, absolutely. You could give Chris as
:18:12. > :18:15.long as you like, but could we also argue that we offered ling while
:18:16. > :18:19.Rome burns? We are bottom of the league, we have to do something
:18:20. > :18:22.about it. If you change for changes sake? Only time will tell.
:18:23. > :18:27.There's no stopping Leicester City at the moment. The Foxes have now
:18:28. > :18:30.won their last six Championship games at home and they're up to
:18:31. > :18:34.second in the table. Saturday was a special day all round for the club
:18:35. > :18:37.as it was their fifth annual Respect day. Kirsty Edwards was there.
:18:38. > :18:42.A date for the players to keep their run going, and to promote a cause
:18:43. > :18:46.close to the club's heart. Leicester have had at the forefront of
:18:47. > :18:52.promoting the FA's Respect campaign, which aims to make names as safe and
:18:53. > :18:56.enjoyable for fans as possible. It's all a special mixed zone set up for
:18:57. > :19:02.you and Leicester supporters to sit and watch the game alongside
:19:03. > :19:06.Bournemouth once. It adds to the sort of integration, if you like.
:19:07. > :19:12.They can have some friendly banter, that is what it is about. And there
:19:13. > :19:17.is loads going on today, not just the mixed fans but stuff going on
:19:18. > :19:21.outside as well? Plenty going on around the place today. Outside the
:19:22. > :19:26.stadium, inside, before the game we had presentations, 30`something
:19:27. > :19:34.Junior teams parading around, proud as punch. A special day for this
:19:35. > :19:37.football club and the kids. If you see the kids now, they are smiling,
:19:38. > :19:45.happy. It is just brilliant, it really is. Plenty of respect amongst
:19:46. > :19:53.the fans today, and now the players will be hoping to earn it on the
:19:54. > :19:57.pitch. The foxes looked bright from the start, lots of early pressure
:19:58. > :20:01.saw David Nugent bag his eighth goal of the season. As the half went on,
:20:02. > :20:07.Bournemouth got back into the game. By the break, it was all square.
:20:08. > :20:10.Leicester are a team high on confidence, though, and fully
:20:11. > :20:17.deserved this second`half winner. It lifted them into the automatic
:20:18. > :20:24.motion places. Promotion is always the aim, and in previous seasons we
:20:25. > :20:28.have not quite gone on to retain that but we will keep working hard,
:20:29. > :20:31.and the players are enjoying themselves.
:20:32. > :20:34.Elsewhere, Derby County are continue to watch Kalifa Cisse. The Malian
:20:35. > :20:39.international is on trial at Pride Park. On the field, Derby failed to
:20:40. > :20:41.make it three wins in a row in front of their biggest crowd of the
:20:42. > :20:49.season, whilst Nottingham Forest were blown away as the storm came in
:20:50. > :20:53.at Yeovil. Mark Shardlow reports. More than 27,000 fans at Derby, but
:20:54. > :20:59.it was to be a frustrating afternoon. This mess was followed by
:21:00. > :21:05.a lovely chip, and this shot cleared off the line. Ward found the net
:21:06. > :21:10.before half`time but it was Derby's only goal. A defensive lapse in the
:21:11. > :21:17.second half saw Novak equalised for Birmingham. We had enough
:21:18. > :21:23.opportunities and chances to win the game. We didn't. That is football.
:21:24. > :21:27.Nottingham Forest were hit by two wonder goals, but in the end a key
:21:28. > :21:31.penalty miss cost them dearly at bottom club Yeovil. Simon Cox, the
:21:32. > :21:35.man brought down, went on to take the kick. It produced a
:21:36. > :21:38.straightforward save from penalty, followed by a marvellous reaction
:21:39. > :21:43.from the first rebound and excellent defending for the second. Dobson
:21:44. > :21:49.scored his second long`range goal in the frantic end to the first half.
:21:50. > :21:58.But two minutes later Forrester on the scoresheet. Within a minute,
:21:59. > :22:04.Yeovil extended their lead to 3`1, and that is how it stayed, their
:22:05. > :22:12.first home win of the season ending forest's run without defeat. The
:22:13. > :22:14.second half, we came up against an outstanding goalkeeper, one man of
:22:15. > :22:16.the match. That is what happens in football.
:22:17. > :22:20.Meanwhile in League Two, Mansfield lost out to a late`winning goal as
:22:21. > :22:23.they hosted Plymouth. The Stags will regret a series of missed chances,
:22:24. > :22:26.with Sam Clucas going close in the first half. But deep into the
:22:27. > :22:29.second, Plymouth headed past second`choice keeper Liam Mitchell
:22:30. > :22:32.to secure the three points. Mansfield, who are five games
:22:33. > :22:35.without a win, are 11th in the table.
:22:36. > :22:41.Leicester Tigers continued their poor record at London Wasps, going
:22:42. > :22:44.down 22`12 yesterday. Tigers boss Richard Cockerill was without lots
:22:45. > :22:47.of first`team regulars due to injury and international duty, and it
:22:48. > :22:53.showed as the Wasps went over early on. Owen Williams' four penalties
:22:54. > :22:57.were not enough for Leicester and they are now six years without a win
:22:58. > :23:02.at Adams Park. They stay fifth in the Premiership.
:23:03. > :23:05.And the Nottingham Panthers also lost at the weekend, twice. First to
:23:06. > :23:09.Belfast on Friday, then at home to Coventry on Saturday. The Panthers
:23:10. > :23:13.had come back from 1`0 down to level the scores through Matt Francis. By
:23:14. > :23:17.the end of the second period, they had powered to a 4`2 lead with goals
:23:18. > :23:21.from Steve Lee and this belter from Bob Wren. But a lacklustre final
:23:22. > :23:25.session allowed Blaze to draw level and force overtime. No goals in
:23:26. > :23:32.overtime and the Panthers lost 5`4 on penalty shots.
:23:33. > :23:35.And that is it, after a very busy weekend.
:23:36. > :23:39.Finally, before the weather, one of our military bases hosted a royal
:23:40. > :23:42.visit today. The Princess Royal braved the
:23:43. > :23:45.blustery conditions to visit the Defence Animal Centre near Melton
:23:46. > :23:55.Mowbray in Leicestershire. Paul Bradshaw went along to find out why.
:23:56. > :24:00.The Princess Royal officially opening the new military dog kennels
:24:01. > :24:05.at the Defence Animal Centre earlier today. The newly built block now
:24:06. > :24:09.comprise the National Centre for military canine training. It boasts
:24:10. > :24:13.facilities such as central heating, air conditioning, and an acoustic
:24:14. > :24:18.roof that reduces noise. It can accommodate up to 200 talks. It
:24:19. > :24:22.makes the conditions for success a lot easier to achieve. The dogs are
:24:23. > :24:25.kept healthier because they are in better conditions, the days they
:24:26. > :24:30.lose due to owners are reduced to a minimum. There is staff morale, the
:24:31. > :24:34.staff are indoors in an easy to keep clean Cannell complex and it can
:24:35. > :24:39.only be good news. We know that they will have a good welfare for them,
:24:40. > :24:44.so it makes the handler a lot happier. The centre trains dogs and
:24:45. > :24:48.handlers for a range of duties from searching for explosives to
:24:49. > :24:53.security. It is a crucial role in an ever`changing world. If they do not
:24:54. > :24:56.get the correct training here, then on operations if they do not do the
:24:57. > :25:01.job correctly it could cost lives. The better training here, the better
:25:02. > :25:04.handlers they are on operations. Today, they were thereby will
:25:05. > :25:11.demand, tomorrow they will follow different commands. `` they work
:25:12. > :25:12.their by Royal demand. Lucky dogs with central heating and air
:25:13. > :25:21.conditioning! Time now for the weather. I asked
:25:22. > :25:23.and down the hatches and took away my wheelie bins. I am pleased to
:25:24. > :25:28.hear it! We got away with it. The storm
:25:29. > :25:31.tracked further south than we were forecasting. It took the strong
:25:32. > :25:35.winds with it. I am sure you have seen the footage of the southern
:25:36. > :25:39.half of the UK, but for us we were under the centre of the low, the eye
:25:40. > :25:43.of the storm, for much of the night. That is where the wind is
:25:44. > :25:59.actually dropped out, so for much of it we had quite light winds, but it
:26:00. > :26:02.was not far off, just 50 to 100 miles away. That, in forecast terms,
:26:03. > :26:05.is not far at all, so I think we can say we should count ourselves lucky.
:26:06. > :26:07.We saw heavy rain, though, over an inch in parts of Leicestershire.
:26:08. > :26:10.More autumnal weather to come for the rest of the week. A breezy week,
:26:11. > :26:14.for sure, but it will be cooler than recent days. It has been quite
:26:15. > :26:17.mild, and there will be some dry weather and perhaps some sunshine to
:26:18. > :26:20.cheer things up as well. For the rest of the evening and from tonight
:26:21. > :26:25.the showers will fade away. We are dry for a time, with clear skies,
:26:26. > :26:29.but the winds are turning more north`westerly through the night,
:26:30. > :26:32.with some shallow speeding in on those bruises. Under clearer skies
:26:33. > :26:38.tonight we will be a little bit cooler. Tomorrow morning, there will
:26:39. > :26:44.be a fuchsia was from the word go. They will continue to spread
:26:45. > :26:48.eastwards, but there will not be many of them and there will be
:26:49. > :26:56.drier, brighter weather in between them. Feeling cooler, quite a brisk
:26:57. > :26:59.wind. Into Wednesday, we have another weather front lurking in the
:27:00. > :27:04.wings on Wednesday, which will sweep on later in the day. It starts
:27:05. > :27:08.drier, a cool start to the day, but the cloud increasing and the wind
:27:09. > :27:11.will pick up and we will see more rain later on Wednesday. Other than
:27:12. > :27:16.that, not too bad. Not too bad at all, thank you.
:27:17. > :27:20.Very mobile at the moment. We were very lucky.
:27:21. > :27:50.We will see you for the late news. Goodbye.
:27:51. > :27:55.that's going to present us with the ten grand. When we win it.
:27:56. > :27:58.You've just got to make it as bearable
:27:59. > :28:02.Here we are in the PR nerve centre of Iceland
:28:03. > :28:05.at the end of 96 hours of total hell.
:28:06. > :28:10.But we haven't tested for dog or cat either.
:28:11. > :28:12.Is this the warmest supermarket around?
:28:13. > :28:16.Iceland Foods - Life in the Freezer Cabinet.
