:00:00. > :00:00.Frost. That's all from us. Now it's time
:00:00. > :00:18.for And now the news for the East
:00:19. > :00:21.Midlands. I'm Dominic Heale. First tonight, dramatic pictures of
:00:22. > :00:26.how armed police brought two people out of a snooker hall at the centre
:00:27. > :00:29.of an armed stand`off. The police have surrounded the building in
:00:30. > :00:33.Hucknall in Nottinghamshire and are believed to be talking to a man
:00:34. > :00:37.still inside. Our reporter Simon Hare is in Hucknall. Let's cross
:00:38. > :00:47.straight over to him now. Simon, what's the latest?
:00:48. > :00:53.As you can see, Hucknall High Street is still cordoned off this evening.
:00:54. > :01:00.Elise have confirmed to me that they are the direct negotiations with a
:01:01. > :01:07.man in a snooker club who is thought to be armed. My colleague captured
:01:08. > :01:14.dramatic footage at around nine o'clock of two people being wrought
:01:15. > :01:18.outside from that snooker hall. It is believed they may have been
:01:19. > :01:22.hiding inside and the man may not have been aware that they were
:01:23. > :01:30.there. They are said to be shaken but unharmed. Police believe that
:01:31. > :01:33.nobody else is inside apart from the man they are negotiating directly
:01:34. > :01:40.with. He has previously threatened officers.
:01:41. > :01:46.How did this all start? It began at around 2:40pm today when
:01:47. > :01:58.a man was reported to be acting suspiciously at the Spot On snooker
:01:59. > :02:04.centre. Police set up a cordon and a school within the cordon was shut
:02:05. > :02:09.down. Many homes within the cordon are also affected. People who can't
:02:10. > :02:15.get into their homes will have to go to the town's leisure Centre
:02:16. > :02:21.tonight. The main focus of police attention tonight is the continuing
:02:22. > :02:29.negotiation with this man who is thought to be armed.
:02:30. > :02:32.A heart surgeon has won his courtroom fight to stop future
:02:33. > :02:35.patients learning about his links to the deaths of five people. John Lu
:02:36. > :02:38.unwittingly passed on a deadly bug during cardiac surgery at Nottingham
:02:39. > :02:41.City Hospital. Our health correspondent Rob Sissons has more.
:02:42. > :02:45.John Lu, seen here in the middle, hasn't operated for over four years.
:02:46. > :02:48.He feared the arrangements for him returning to heart surgery would
:02:49. > :02:54.destroy his career. Hospital bosses talked of a moral duty to tell
:02:55. > :02:58.patients about his past. They lost. This is what Dorothy Brown looked
:02:59. > :03:03.like when she became infected. She says she nearly died. She is baffled
:03:04. > :03:07.by today's High Court ruling. I'm not happy with it. If he can live
:03:08. > :03:11.with that, that's fine. But if that bug breaks out again while he's been
:03:12. > :03:17.operating, we'll beat on that judge's head. At the Trent Cardiac
:03:18. > :03:19.Centre, exactly how the bug ` staphylococcus epidermidis ` got
:03:20. > :03:24.from the surgeon's skin into the heart valves isn't clear. We have a
:03:25. > :03:28.surgeon who is now completely clear of any bugs and has exactly the same
:03:29. > :03:32.chance as any other surgeon to pass on bugs so I suppose the High Court
:03:33. > :03:39.is probably right to say, why should you declare that? It's like saying
:03:40. > :03:57.you had chickenpox. Tonight, in a statement, the trust said...
:03:58. > :04:12.Mr Lu did lose a claim for damages. The judge ruled the trust hadn't
:04:13. > :04:15.acted unreasonably. The legal battle has begun at
:04:16. > :04:18.London's High Court over whether Leicester has the right to the bones
:04:19. > :04:21.of Richard III. The city wants the king's bones buried in Leicester
:04:22. > :04:24.Cathedral. But the Plantagenet Alliance claims it should have been
:04:25. > :04:27.consulted and wants the king reinterred at York Minster. King
:04:28. > :04:30.Richard was found buried in a car park in Leicester nearly 19 months
:04:31. > :04:34.ago. A Nottingham man in his 70s has been
:04:35. > :04:38.sent to prison for 28 days for refusing to pay his council tax.
:04:39. > :04:40.Ross Longhurst, who's from New Basford, said he wouldn't pay
:04:41. > :04:44.because City Council cuts had targeted the most vulnerable
:04:45. > :04:47.sections of the community. A council spokesman sympathised but said not
:04:48. > :04:54.paying the council tax was illegal and the magistrates had no option
:04:55. > :04:58.but to send him to jail. Nearly half the road markings on our
:04:59. > :05:01.highways are so worn`out they need replacing immediately, according to
:05:02. > :05:04.a new survey. It suggests only 16% of markings on motorways and single
:05:05. > :05:12.carriageways can now be clearly seen. Sarah Teale reports.
:05:13. > :05:18.As a busy driving instructor, Carol Donaldson sees worn and nonexistent
:05:19. > :05:22.road markings on a daily basis. And she doesn't even have to go far from
:05:23. > :05:28.her own front door at Keyworth in Nottinghamshire for an example. When
:05:29. > :05:31.you get to the end here, you can't really see the white lines at all.
:05:32. > :05:33.They are virtually nonexistent, aren't they? New figures from the
:05:34. > :05:38.Road Safety Markings Association show that half of the markings on
:05:39. > :05:41.our roads aren't up to scratch. 52% of markings on motorways, 42% on
:05:42. > :05:50.dual carriageways and 48% on single carriageways need replacing
:05:51. > :05:56.immediately. Carol says the lack of proper markings has even caused
:05:57. > :05:59.problems for one of her pupils. She was coming down to the junction and
:06:00. > :06:05.you couldn't see the white lines at all. I was sitting in the back of
:06:06. > :06:08.the car while she was on test and she started to creep forward and
:06:09. > :06:12.went over what would have been the white lines and she failed her test.
:06:13. > :06:20.There are now calls for immediate action to bring road markings up to
:06:21. > :06:30.standard. That's your news. We will have all
:06:31. > :06:33.the details on that situation in Hucknall in our breakfast bulletin.
:06:34. > :06:34.So, it's goodbye from me. But with your weather now, here's Anna
:06:35. > :06:45.Church. We have had a stunning day.
:06:46. > :06:54.Overnight tonight it remains dry but we can expect widespread fog. There
:06:55. > :07:00.is a yellow warning for fog as it will be quite dense. At the moment
:07:01. > :07:07.it is fairly clear. We will start to see the cloud and fog increasing in
:07:08. > :07:13.the early hours of the morning. Maybe a little bit of frost as well.
:07:14. > :07:21.The fog becomes quite widespread and very tense that it will start to
:07:22. > :07:23.clear as we go through the morning and then we expect plenty of
:07:24. > :07:29.sunshine during the afternoon. It will be warm in the sunshine. I'll
:07:30. > :07:33.leave you with a look at the than it did today across parts of
:07:34. > :07:41.the Thames estuary, temperatures could be 17 or 18 degrees. Now we
:07:42. > :07:48.will get the National forecast. It has been a funny day. Warm and
:07:49. > :07:52.sunny for some, cool and mystique for others, cloudy and damp for a
:07:53. > :07:57.few. Wet weather getting into northern Scotland tonight. Fog is
:07:58. > :08:01.the issue. It already is across the heart of England with thick patches.
:08:02. > :08:06.It could become widespread through the rest of the night. Touches of
:08:07. > :08:10.frost where the skies remain clear for any length of time. Tomorrow
:08:11. > :08:15.morning, difficult conditions across more central and southern parts of
:08:16. > :08:19.England. Dense patches. If you are planning a journey early, allow
:08:20. > :08:23.extra time because you could run into trouble. Check out your BBC
:08:24. > :08:30.local radio station first thing in the morning. There could be some
:08:31. > :08:31.disk -- significant disruption. There is a
