This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and Geeta Pendse. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Tonight, sending in the military to take on the miners. 30 years on, new | :00:09. | :00:17. | |
government papers reveal how close Mrs Thatcher came to sending troops | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
into the East Midlands coalfield as the hit strike intensified. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Also, the tax that helps to pay for the tram improvements in Nottingham | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
goes up by 8.3%. Plus a secret no more, we were `` we | :00:35. | :00:47. | |
reveal why Lester's before city of cultural dream agriculture failed. | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
And wind turbines, a closer look at them. | :00:54. | :00:54. | |
Good evening and welcome to Friday's programme. Confidential Government | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
files released today have revealed that Margaret Thatcher considered | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
sending the army into the coalfields of the East Midlands at the height | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
of the miners' strike. Cabinet papers from 1984 also show she was | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
thinking of declaring a state of emergency, and she was alarmed at | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
cash support for the miners coming from Soviet Russia. This report from | :01:16. | :01:16. | |
our political editor, John Hess. Rufford Colliery closed 20 years | :01:17. | :01:29. | |
ago. But it was a decision taken ten years beforehand that sealed its | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
fate, for its 1,200 miners and thousands of others across the East | :01:33. | :01:33. | |
Midlands. It was in the East Midlands | :01:34. | :01:48. | |
coalfield that the miners strike was going to be won or lost. That is why | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
scores of flying pickets attempted to stop working miners from clocking | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
on for their normal shift but government papers revealed for the | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
first time today revealed how close the Prime Minister 0 | :02:04. | :02:04. | |
first time today revealed how close the Prime Minister came to calling | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
in the troops. Three months into the dispute, and with the threat of | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
dockers taking sympathy action, Mrs Thatcher held a meeting of her | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
ministers to consider calling a state of emergency. They feared | :02:16. | :02:16. | |
power cuts and 0 state of emergency. They feared | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
power cuts and food shortages. I am not surprised she considered using | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
the army, I have already said that if she thought it was necessary to | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
use the air force, she would have used that. Preparations were made | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
back then not to provoke a strike but to ensure that if the threat | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
ever echoed again, the Government and the country would be in a | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
position to at least negotiate from some position of strength rather | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
than weakness. At his Derbyshire home today, | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
journalist and author Matthew Parris recalled the crisis as one of Mrs | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
Thatcher's MPs. I don't think there are any astonishing revelations in | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
these papers will stop she had a plan and have had it for some time | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
and this was a long, prepared military style strategy for her. And | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
by no means as might have seemed at the time that it caught the | :03:09. | :03:09. | |
Government 0 the time that it caught the | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Government unawares. Paddy Tipping was once the MP for the | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Parliamentary constituency that included Rufford colliery. It is | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
hard not to remember the antagonism and the emotion, family against | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
family in some cases, workers against workers. Troops would have | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
blown the lid off, it would have been a bloody legacy. The troops | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
were kept in the barracks the threat of the dock strike stopped. But the | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
papers showed the extent that she was pushed to the edge. The | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
Government papers revealed it was the dockers once they 0 | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
Government papers revealed it was the dockers once they rejected | :03:52. | :03:52. | |
taking strike action. Next, businesses, organisations and | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
individuals in Nottingham are facing another big hike in the workplace | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
parking levy ` the local tax that helps to pay for transport | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
improvements in the city. From April, the city council says it'll | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
go up by more than 8%, a rise that will raise funds for two new tram | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
lines and, according to one senior councillor, bring wider benefits | :04:16. | :04:25. | |
too. It is helping to pay for two new | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
tram lines and transport improvements in Nottingham. And now | :04:30. | :04:30. | |
this 0 improvements in Nottingham. And now | :04:31. | :04:31. | |
this year, the workplace parking levy is going up by an inflation | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
busting 8.3%, to ?362. This firm based in Nottingham city | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
centre provides laser cutting for the textiles, aerospace and motor | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
industries. With 0 the textiles, aerospace and motor | :04:44. | :04:44. | |
industries. With its sister company, it has to pay the workplace parking | :04:45. | :04:53. | |
levy on 13 car parking spaces. That will result in a bill of more than | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
?4,700 from April when the charge goes up. But once again, the tax | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
will be passed on to the workforce. 13 spaces at those sort of values, | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
that is a significant sum of money to find each year and we have no | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
choice but to pass it onto the of staff. | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
The deputy leader of the city council has defended the latest rise | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
in the levy, which was introduced in 2012. There is nothing we could do. | :05:19. | :05:27. | |
Parliament would not rescind the legislation even if we ask them to. | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
You have to remember the benefits the city is getting from this, this | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
is paying for the tram and that has brought in ?500 million worth of | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
investment. But it's been a controversial tax | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
and back at the laser firm, one worker is determined he'll never pay | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
up. I will never pay the levy, I will park elsewhere. I will walk. I | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
will park it as near as I can. The city council says eventually for | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
every ?1 raised, the levy will deliver ?10 of economic benefits. | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
Still to come ` should pupils be fingerprinted ` at school? Privacy | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
campaigners say thousands have ` and it's time more parents complained. | :06:13. | :06:23. | |
And the unsettled theme in the weather shows no sign of change as | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
low pressure after low`pressure moves in but, they will be some dry | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
weather this weekend and I will tell you when later. | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
Next, Leicester lost out in its attempt to become the next UK City | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
of Culture because its bid "lacked ambition". The judging panel also | :06:43. | :06:43. | |
say 0 ambition". The judging panel also | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
say the city relied too much on safe ideas like the Diwali celebrations. | :06:46. | :06:54. | |
As we know, the title for 2017 went to Hull instead. Leicester's bid | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
team say they're disappointed by some of the feedback. | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
Last November, the team behind Leicester's bid to become the UK | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
City of Culture in 2017, gathered at the Curve Theatre to see if they'd | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
won. I am delighted to announce that the UK City of Culture 2017 is Hull. | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
At the time, the judges said Hull's proposal showed its determination to | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
shake off its image of decline and deprivation. And that's why it had | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
scooped the title. It was a city that was hungry, desperate to come | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
out of eight negative perception and find its place in the 0 | :07:37. | :07:37. | |
out of eight negative perception and find its place in the world and they | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
will used phrases like they want to find their place in the UK and come | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
out of the shadows. Now, the judging panel has sent | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
feedback to the city council on why Leicester's bid failed. Team members | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
are disappointed that the judges felt the bid lacked ambition and | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
innovation. On the one hand they were saying that we have cultural | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
excellent and then that we were not quite ambitious enough but having | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
worked for months on the programme, I thought it was really ambitious | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
and bold and exciting. The city that prides itself on its | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
diversity, found the judging panel were concerned that their bid hadn't | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
fully developed ideas on how a cultural activity might bring | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
communities together. I think they were two 0 | :08:18. | :08:18. | |
communities together. I think they were two comments really about the | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
diversity of the communities in Leicester, one was that it was | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
positive and the strength of the bid and then there was more work week | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
should do to bring people together using culture and some of the | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
communities and we still need to focus on that. | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
The panel felt that Leicester's bid relied heavily on safe ideas like | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
Diwali and festivals. Not so, say the team who will use the feedback | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
to help put the city on the UK's cultural map by 2017. | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
Leicestershire Police has dropped its investigation into former County | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
Council leader David Parsons after an 18`month inquiry into his travel | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
expenses. Last year, officers started looking into trips he made | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
to Europe while he was council leader. The council says it's still | :09:02. | :09:11. | |
expecting final repayments of more than ?2,000 from Mr Parsons after a | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
long`running dispute over a range of expenses. | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
Several staff and inmates at Nottingham Prison were injured in a | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
disturbance which broke out yesterday afternoon. The prison's | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
independent monitoring board says no`one needed hospital treatment but | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
said the injuries weren't trivial. They visited the prison this morning | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
and say the situation is now calm. No`one from the Ministry of Justice | :09:32. | :09:42. | |
has been available for comment. Next tonight, how the sun is shining | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
on one council's green initiative while another's has been blown off | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
course. A Freedom of Information request has revealed that two wind | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
turbines in Rushcliffe produce so little energy it'll take decades to | :09:52. | :10:02. | |
repay the cost. Meanwhile, Gedling's solar panels are so successful that | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
all the council's computers can be powered for the next four years. | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
Ten years ago, two wind turbines were put up in Rushcliffe Country | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
Park. Half of the ?30,000 was paid for by the borough council, the rest | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
from a grant. A Freedom of Information request by the Daily | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
Telegraph has disclosed that last year, the turbines only produced | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
around ?70 worth of power on a lower tariff, and it would take hundreds | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
of years to recoup the cost. They only have a life span of 15 years. | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
The council insists the meter wasn't working properly and the turbines | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
normally produce 3,500 kiloWatt`hours a year. But even at | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
that rate, it would still take about 50 years to pay back what was spent | :10:40. | :10:50. | |
on them. So does it accept they were a waste of money given that wind | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
speed here is low? We regret that we have not got the return that we | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
wanted on the investment and we acknowledge that, we recognise that | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
in hindsight, these have not produced what we anticipated. They | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
are part of the wider measures that we have implemented in the park | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
which enabled it to achieve dreams like status for seven years running | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
but we recognise that we have not got back as much as we hoped. | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
But it's a sunnier story in Gedling. The borough council has installed | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
over 500 solar panels on four of its buildings. It reckons to pay back | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
the ?90,000 cost within five years and in six months generated over a | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
100,000 kiloWatt`hours, enough to power its 250 computers for the next | :11:28. | :11:36. | |
four years. If we prove that it is successful and other authorities | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
then may do the same thing. And it may have saved us money which is | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
definitely a bonus. Other organisations can use this | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
technology effectively and we will help to support that. | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
Critics say Rushcliffe's experience has once again exposed the | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
limitations of wind energy. Next tonight, claims that our | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
children's privacy is being invaded by schools who use fingerprint | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
scanners on their pupils. The civil liberties campaign group Big Brother | :12:07. | :12:07. | |
Watch 0 liberties campaign group Big Brother | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
Watch says more than half of the secondary schools surveyed in our | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
region use so`called biometric scanners to take children's personal | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
data and a quarter of them didn't have parental permission. In a | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
moment, we'll hear more from Big Brother Watch, but first, why have | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
these scanners caused such a fuss? They collect our most personal and | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
unique data. Fingerprints, retina patterns and even the shape of our | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
face and hands. Biometric scanners are now widely used to identify an | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
individual. But today's research from the | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch suggests our region has the | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
highest proportion of secondary schools which use the scanners to | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
collect data from their pupils, and a quarter of them didn't have | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
permission from parents. The scanners are used to record | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
attendance or help children claim school meals. But Big Brother Watch | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
says it infringes on pupils' privacy. | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
The Government has already acted. Last September, a new law came into | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
force meaning schools and colleges must now get written consent before | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
a child's biometric data is taken. Crucially, parents can refuse the | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
school's request. Earlier I spoke to the director of | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
Big Brother Watch, Nick Pickles. I asked him why he thought it was so | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
wrong for schools to collect pupils' data in this way. I think you have | :13:25. | :13:34. | |
got two big problems. First, the conditioning of children and | :13:35. | :13:36. | |
arguably the criminalisation of children by making it seem normal | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
that their fingerprints are taken at regular intervals throughout the | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
day. But also the bigger question is that in the region we saw one in | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
four schools taking fingerprints without parental permission. But I | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
think is particularly worrying. How does it criminalise children by | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
keeping data which keeps them safe and means they don't have to carry | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
around large sums of money? There are alternatives, for example using | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
contactless smart cards or even applications on smartphones. But the | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
broader question is in an age where we are sharing more information | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
about us than ever before, should young people be told at school but | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
it is perfectly normal to place your fingerprint down when you are using | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
services? And this is not just tracking one service, in some | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
schools it is tracking three or four different services so your | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
fingerprint essentially forms the same purpose as an ID card. Hasn't | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
the law already changed on consent so the horse has already bolted? | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
That is only for pupils who have not enrolled yet so that was from the | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
beginning of this school year but our research shows that before the | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
law changed, upwards of 1 million pupils were already being | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
fingerprinted so this report is a wake`up call to both parents of | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
pupils who started secondary school this year but also parents who had | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
pupils already there to say, "do you know that your children may be being | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
fingerprinted and that you have a legal right to ask for an | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
alternative system to be put in place which mark" Is your advice to | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
go along to the school to find out what is happening to your children? | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
Ask your children, and you have a right to withdraw that consent. | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
Derby train`maker Bombardier has lost work worth ?265 million with | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
London Underground after admitting it couldn't complete the work on | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
time. The contract was for modernising signals on almost half | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
of the tube network. The news shouldn't affect train`making in | :15:46. | :15:45. | |
Derby. 0 shouldn't affect train`making in | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
Derby. The city's factory will continue to make underground trains | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
until 2016. A new date has been set for the | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
judicial review into Richard III's reburial. The case will be heard in | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
the Royal Courts of Justice in London on March 13th and is expected | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
to last two days. It comes after the original court battle was adjourned | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
last November. Leicester City Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby says the row over | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
the future of the king's remains has caused considerable inconvenience. | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
A homelessness charity is running a drop`in centre for dgos. Rough | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
sleepers are getting free treatment for their pets, from trainee vets. | :16:24. | :16:32. | |
Sleeping rough can be a dog's life for pets as well as people. And | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
these monthly checks are giving Carly the basic treatment, that Paul | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
simply can't afford. Most of the lads on the streets rely on their | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
dogs, it is company. When you are on your own, they keep you warm as | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
well. The sessions are run by students | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
from the Nottingham Veterinary School. A chance to practice | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
everything from microchipping to worming and fleaing under close | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
supervision. The cost of veterinary care is quite expensive and to have | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
that service free where they will come down to a non`judgemental | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
situation and everybody respects the situation that the service uses are | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
in, they feel more comfortable coming down here and they know they | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
will be treated with respect and a good service from the students. | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
For Carly, this is a welcome dose of tender loving care. And for Paul, | :17:23. | :17:23. | |
it's peace of mind. Still to come: sky`high | :17:24. | :17:33. | |
celebrations. It's 50 years since the Red Arrows first donned their | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
flying gear. Now, there are big plans for a landmark anniversary. | :17:39. | :17:48. | |
A spectacular display. Talking of which, here is Colin! | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
It is, of course, FA Cup weekend and whatever you might have heard, no | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
doubt there is still real magic about the cup. Simon has been on | :17:58. | :18:07. | |
flying form for the Rams and I am sure he will want to play with Derby | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
County. Just ask Derby County fans ` they're looking forward to what is | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
undoubtedly one of the plum ties of the third round as they take on | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
Chelsea at the iPro Stadium. Angela has been looking ahead to the big | :18:19. | :18:20. | |
game. It looks like a David and Goliath | :18:21. | :18:43. | |
encounter, millions of pounds separate these two teams but if Jose | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
Mourinho claims to be the the special one, Steve McClaren can also | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
claim to be pretty special. It is a game we have got nothing to lose in | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
and it should be an enjoyable one. I think we have got a good chance of | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
beating them. Steve McClaren has brought us together. A shock result | :19:06. | :19:13. | |
is what Derby hope for and Chelsea have the utmost respect. I am happy | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
to play against Steve. I have full respect for the championship and as | :19:18. | :19:25. | |
all good managers are. He belongs to a different level so hopefully he is | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
back to the Premier League soon. Premier League giants up against a | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
team fighting hard to get there. Could there be an upset? Most of the | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
crowd here will be hoping so. Another bit of Derby news because | :19:38. | :19:49. | |
Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford will join them after the weekend on loan. | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
He scored 16 goals during a loan spell with MK Dons and was actually | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
a product of the Nottingham Forest Academy. He'll be with the Rams | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
until the end of the season. Nottingham Forest are likely to ring | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
the changes against West Ham United on Sunday, who are likely to play a | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
young side too. So, does the FA Cup still matter? Do expectations weigh | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
heavily at Forest? And how does a striker look at a plan to bring in | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
competition? I've been asking Reds forward, Simon Cox. | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
The history around the football club is probably one of the greatest in | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
the division so there is a bit of pressure but with that comes big | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
personality and big performances from what we call a very good group | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
of players. I think it is good. It takes a bit | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
of stress away from the league. We will go against a team who might not | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
be doing as well as they should be this year and it will be a good test | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
for the players who may not have played as much but we will still | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
field a strong team. We have all got one goal at the end | :21:02. | :21:12. | |
of the season, if the manager decides to bring another striker in | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
and he helps us get to our goal, I am all for that. That improves | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
competition for places and that is healthy. | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
It is a really good place to be. What I would say about the manager | :21:29. | :21:38. | |
is that he is good at getting everybody in and keeping the smiles | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
on their faces. It makes it enjoyable to come in every day and | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
he knows when to have fun and when to be serious as well. The serious | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
business this weekend is given serious coverage. Full live | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
commentary on BBC Radio Nottingham. And on BBC Radio Derby and BBC Radio | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
Leicester. Leicester City are taking their brilliant league form on the | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
road as well to Stoke. If they are to build on their promise and get | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
themselves promoted, Stoke are exactly the kind of side that the | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
Foxes will have to learn to match up to. We have to approach the game as | :22:15. | :22:23. | |
we always do, I well established Premier League team against us so it | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
will be a good test and we will see what happens and I am sure that it | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
will be a good game. Notts County not in action this | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
weekend, but Mansfield are. They have a long trip to Exeter. Weather | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
permitting. In rugby, Leicester Tigers welcome | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
back Captain Toby Flood for the match with Bath. He'll take the | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
Number 12 shirt with Owen Williams continuing at fly`half. Bath's visit | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
one of the highlights of the season. We'll round it up on Monday. | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
In ice hockey, it will take something 0 0 | :22:52. | :22:51. | |

Notthingham Panthers to retain their league title after last night's | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
defeat at runaway leaders Belfast. They'd come back from 2`0 and 3`2 | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
down to level it near the end, but the Giants grabbed the winner and | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
are now 16 points clear 0 the Giants grabbed the winner and | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
are now 16 points clear of Panthers and look like they're racing to the | :23:07. | :23:08. | |
title. Still, plenty of twists and turns to | :23:09. | :23:20. | |
come and the trophy up for grabs. It's 50 years since the iconic Red | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
Arrows first took to the skies of Lincolnshire. To mark the | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
anniversary their jets are to be given a make`over. Exact details are | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
expected to be revealed in the next few months ` and the team are | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
already working on a new celebratory routine. | :23:35. | :23:44. | |
The Red Arrows! This is what the red arrows are famous for, action packed | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
displays that entertain the crowd. And they have been doing it for | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
nearly 50 years. It was a combination of several | :23:54. | :24:06. | |
display teams and so we got to a fairly illustrious history. The 50 | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
years of the Red Arrows has seen them displayed over 4500 times in 55 | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
countries but it is not just about the pilots, it takes around 100 | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
people to get the Red Arrows off the ground. The team returned from a | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
tour of the 0 ground. The team returned from a | :24:29. | :24:29. | |
tour of the Middle East last year and since then they have been easy | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
preparing for this season's display. We have been going a long time. But | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
the future has been questioned in recent years and the team has | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
recently suffered tragedy with the deaths of Flight Lieutenant John | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
King and Flight Lieutenant Sean Cunningham in 2011. The following | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
year, the team performed with just seven aircraft before bringing back | :24:56. | :24:56. | |
their 0 seven aircraft before bringing back | :24:57. | :24:58. | |
their signature diamond nine formation last year. Now at the | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
start of their special anniversary year, the red arrows are planning a | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
few surprises. There are certain elements of the aircraft that may be | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
changing, that are quite significant. We are anticipating | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
about 80 displays but intermittent within that display season, there | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
are special events which I shall be arranging. So lots to look forward | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
to 0 0 arranging. So lots to look forward | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
to for enthusiasts and a busy 12 months for the team. Baulk they | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
never fail to surprise me. Nothing magnificent about the | :25:31. | :25:40. | |
weather at the moment but the unsettled theme is staying with us. | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
There will still be some dry weather across the weekend and it looks wet | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
in the morning of Sunday but maybe even a bit of sunshine on Saturday. | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
Sunday starts off well but then the next Atlantique storm is coming in. | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
First, the weather picture time. Think you, Tony. We have some | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
sunshine when this was taken! To keep your pictures coming in to the | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
e`mail address. Here is the pressure chart with an area of low pressure | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
with us today which will slowly push away as it moves away. The winds | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
will be lighter tomorrow but here is the next low pressure pushing in on | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
Sunday. At the moment, still fairly windy out there and the winds remain | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
strong throughout the evening with a scattering of blustery showers. They | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
start to die at and the winds will begin to ease through the night to | :26:38. | :26:49. | |
night. As they become... Temperatures down to around three | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
Celsius and in rural areas, a chance of a touch of frost. The next area | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
of rain pushes its way in from the South on Saturday morning, maybe | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
turning wintry across the Peak District but it moves away quickly | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
and some lighter winds on Saturday afternoon and possibly a bit of | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
sunshine breaking through the cloud. And feeling fairly pleasant with a | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
high of eight Celsius. On Sunday, there is the big deep area of low | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
pressure and it will move its way in looking fairly bright to start the | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
day on Sunday but you will then start to see the cloud increasing | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
before the rain pushes in and as the rain moves in, the wind strengthens | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
so another spell of wet and windy weather to end the week. | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
It never stops. To universal acclaim, Morris will 0 | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
It never stops. To universal acclaim, Morris will be back with | :27:41. | :27:42. | |
