case to the businessmen and government specialist adviser who | :02:23. | :02:25. | |

RBS of putting good and viable businesses into default so it could | :02:32. | :02:35. | |

companies themselves and pushed them to the wall in order to make a | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
profit. Those will be incredibly serious allegations. They have to be | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
investigated quickly. Mr Reilly is scathing about the wider banking | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
industry. The banking industry has transformed from what I used to | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
believe was a pillar of the local community into just a bunch of | :03:15. | :03:19. | |

Mr Reilly has been told he could buy back the building, the asking price | :03:36. | :03:46. | |

capital to buy back this building, he has appealed task. He has lost | :04:39. | :04:44. | |

Last winter saw the coldest March for 50 years, and today it was | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
revealed that thousands more vulnerable people died as a direct | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
result of the freezing conditions. Campaigners say it's a shameful | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
state of affairs. And, with fears that the death toll could rise even | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
more this winter, the row over rising energy bills has intensified. | :05:07. | :05:08. | |

noticeable scar on my face. I was lucky I got away. Others earlier in | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
the evening didn't get away because they weren't sharp enough. That's | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
the extreme end of it. But name`calling, snide remarks, that's | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
quite common. The survey also hears from victims of the hate crimes, | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
such as homophobia and racism. As well as the homeless, disabled or | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
new migrant communities. These groups often seen as hard to reach | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
but researchers say that's only because the victims haven't been | :18:13. | :18:18. | |

subjected to threatening behaviour. It's thought full results of the | :18:45. | :18:48. | |

British champions for the third time in a row. It's a competition they | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
didn't expect to be at. Just a few weeks ago Nick had to have a heart | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
operation. But amazingly they're back on the ice and looking forward | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
to the Olympics. Kirsty Edwards reports. | :19:48. | :20:00. | |
Nick and Penny will never take this for granted. Four years ago at the | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
Olympics, Nick got the first signs of a heart condition. He feared it | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
could end his career. The morning after the opening ceremony, my heart | :20:13. | :20:17. | |

Doctors told Nick it was tachycardia, an abnormality of his | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
heart rhythm. For a while it was something he could control himself | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
recently, it got worse. It got more regular this year, so they fitted me | :20:40. | :20:45. | |

weeks ago the device showed some dangerously high readings and Nick | :20:56. | :20:56. | |

do this, all these things are popping into your head. I was amazed | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
I was back on the ice within a week, but the uncertainty was terrible. So | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
far from ending their hopes of another Olympics, the pair will be | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
confident of a good performance in February, even better than the one | :21:30. | :21:32. | |

I'm in for a nice surprise at the Olympics, basically. 0 | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
Olympics, basically. Few quick bits of news, starting | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
with Leicester Tigers, who are unlikely to bring in new players ` | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
despite the injury crisis at Welford Road. Tigers lost both Geoff Parling | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
and Matt Smith in the last ten days ` and could ask for permission to | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
add to their battered squad. But Director of Rugby Richard Cockerill | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
thinks he's better off with what he has. We have a strong enough squad, | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
we just have to have them fit and available. We have enough cover, | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
there's no point spending money and signing guys you probably don't | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
need. Could you get more quality, probably not. We have to back the | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
lads to come through, they are good players. | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
Now, there is football tonight and both Notts County and Mansfield | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
really need a win. For the Magpies, new manager Shaun | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
Derry has been in charge for four Games ` all of which have ended in | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
defeat. And at Mansfield, Paul Cox's men haven't won in the league since | :22:42. | :22:43. | |

Blast ` mostly on Friday nights. It's been announced today that one | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
of Leicester's best and biggest bands, Kasabian, are set to play a | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
huge headline gig in the City's Victoria Park next year. A few years | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
ago they won the Best British Group at the BRIT Awards. But this is the | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
first time the band have put on a performance this big in their | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
hometown. Tickets could go quickly though ` Rebecca Sheeran reports. | :23:42. | :23:53. | |
They started off as dance rock outside is from Leicestershire, now | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
Kasabian are one of the biggest rock bands in the world. Next June they | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
return to their roots, headlining at Victoria Park. We all grew up here, | :24:06. | :24:14. | |
we rehearsed around the corner. From what we started, to where we can get | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
to, I just want kids to come and be inspired by that and join bands. | :24:21. | :24:29. | |
2014 will be the first time they have played in the UK since their | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
headline slot at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park this summer. They will | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
be performing for over 30,000 fans and are promising eagerly awaited | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
material from the fifth album. Fate has a way of saying, now is the time | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
for this to happen. We're going to take over the city for a day, put on | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
an incredible night stop it will remain with people forever. For us | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
to do that as a special thing. Tickets go on sale on Friday. Nice | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
to see they were wearing their woolly hats! | :25:09. | :25:16. | |
They certainly needed it this morning. A lovely picture this | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
morning. I will move out of the way so you can get a full review of it. | :25:24. | :25:35. | |
