:00:08. > :00:12.This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and me, Geeta Pendse.

:00:13. > :00:15.Tonight, a jury was told of two confrontations that ended whth the

:00:16. > :00:17.fatal stabbing of a young football coach.

:00:18. > :00:20.Two teenagers are in the dark accused of murdering Antoin Akpom

:00:21. > :00:23.last year. Also tonight, the pioneering spinal

:00:24. > :00:30.surgery helping people like Thaine life a normal life. It's grdat to be

:00:31. > :00:34.the first one to have this `nd I hope everyone that has scolhosis can

:00:35. > :00:39.have this operation. Plus, filling the void. A ndw

:00:40. > :00:44.campaign to reach their thotsands left alone and lonely. Loneliness is

:00:45. > :00:48.so destructive to people's health, physical and mental, and it's lovely

:00:49. > :00:55.that there is a campaign dr`wing attention to ways of allevi`ting it.

:00:56. > :01:09.And why this minibus is bound for Africa laden with artificial legs.

:01:10. > :01:15.Good evening. Welcome to Tudsday's programme. A murder trial h`s heard

:01:16. > :01:18.that "bad feeling" and a long running rivalry led to a street

:01:19. > :01:24.confrontation and the fatal stabbing of a football coach in Leicdster.

:01:25. > :01:28.The victim, Antoin Akpom, w`s said to have led a group of men from a

:01:29. > :01:33.nearby gym and was carrying a dumb`bell when he was attacked. Our

:01:34. > :01:41.chief news reporter, Quentin Rayner, is at Stafford Crown Court for us

:01:42. > :01:50.tonight. Good evening. Today we have heard

:01:51. > :01:55.how to confrontations within seconds of each other lead to the stabbing

:01:56. > :01:59.of 20`year`old Antoin Akpom. Five hours later, for members of the same

:02:00. > :02:06.family were killed in a house fire two doors down from one of the

:02:07. > :02:10.defendants' family home. Thd court was told that the tragedy w`s that

:02:11. > :02:13.none of the occupants had anything to do with the stabbing.

:02:14. > :02:17.20`year`old Antoin Akpom was described today by a close friend

:02:18. > :02:21.who attended to him after hd was stabbed as an all`round gre`t guy.

:02:22. > :02:28.But for a year there had bedn a bad feeling between him and Abdtl

:02:29. > :02:31.Hakim. In the early evening of September the 12th last year, the

:02:32. > :02:33.football coach spotted him `nd another 19`year`old, Hussein

:02:34. > :02:36.Hussein, in Kent Street. After an initial confrontation, Antohn Akpom

:02:37. > :02:40.ran to a nearby gym. Seconds later, he ran back with the group of nine

:02:41. > :02:44.men to confront the teenagers again. Witnesses say they saw the football

:02:45. > :02:47.coach carrying a dumbbell and one of his group shouted, you're a dead

:02:48. > :02:49.man, and appeared to be the aggressors. The court heard Antoin

:02:50. > :02:53.Akpom was seen exchanging ptnches with the two teenagers before

:02:54. > :02:56.emerging with a blood stain on his upper back then collapsing hn the

:02:57. > :02:59.street. After fleeing to London the 19`year`olds were arrested. Both

:03:00. > :03:02.deny murder. The prosecution claim Hussein wielded the knife btt he

:03:03. > :03:05.claims Abdul Hakim told him he'd stabbed Antoin Akpom becausd he was

:03:06. > :03:16.scared after he swung a dumbbell at him. Abdul Hakim said he never saw a

:03:17. > :03:20.knife. Mr Hakim told the police he intended to return to Leicester

:03:21. > :03:23.after hearing about a fire two doors down from his mother's home. Four

:03:24. > :03:27.members of a family were killed The jury was told the tragedy w`s that

:03:28. > :03:30.the occupants had nothing to do with the Kent Street incident. Rhchard

:03:31. > :03:34.Latham QC said whoever did this if it had anything to do with the

:03:35. > :03:38.stabbing, got the wrong house. It was a ghastly, ghastly event. The

:03:39. > :03:49.trial is expected to last jtst over two weeks.

:03:50. > :03:51.I gather that this afternoon the court heard from Antoin Akpom's

:03:52. > :03:57.close friend who was with hhm when he was stabbed.

:03:58. > :04:01.Yes, they had been friends since they were 12 and they ran a business

:04:02. > :04:06.together providing football coaching and fitness for schools. He was with

:04:07. > :04:11.his friend at the time of the confrontation will stop he was asked

:04:12. > :04:17.by the rustic `ish and if Antoin Akpom had said anything beforehand

:04:18. > :04:24.about trouble, he replied no. He also said it took an ambulance long

:04:25. > :04:33.time to get their hand that the police had blocked the road off He

:04:34. > :04:40.will continue his evidence here tomorrow morning.

:04:41. > :04:46.A man has denied ordering the shooting of a Derby teenager six

:04:47. > :04:49.years ago. Kadeem Blackwood was murdered in Caxton Park in Sunnyhill

:04:50. > :04:53.in 2008. Callum Campbell adlitted pulling the trigger and is hn

:04:54. > :04:56.prison. The prosecution clahm Michael Hamblett`Sewell orddred the

:04:57. > :05:01.shooting and stood by Campbdll's side as he did it. But, tod`y in

:05:02. > :05:04.court, he said he had no idda a gun would be involved and thought it

:05:05. > :05:08.would be a one`on` one fight between Campbell and Kadeem. The retrial

:05:09. > :05:12.continues. A shoe repair shop in Derby is now

:05:13. > :05:16.in need of repair itself after a car smashed into it in the earlx hours

:05:17. > :05:19.of this morning. This is thd moment when the front of John's Shoe

:05:20. > :05:24.Repairs near the city centrd was badly damaged. Police were called to

:05:25. > :05:27.the incident just after 4:30AM. The driver was arrested at the scene on

:05:28. > :05:34.suspicion of drink`driving, but was bailed to go to hospital.

:05:35. > :05:36.Still to come ` the scourge of loneliness.

:05:37. > :05:40.We speak to broadcaster Esther Rantzen about a new campaign to help

:05:41. > :05:48.the growing number of peopld who find themselves alone.

:05:49. > :05:53.Now the extraordinary story of a young boy who faced life in a

:05:54. > :05:57.wheelchair, only to be saved by becoming one of the first pdople in

:05:58. > :06:00.the country to get pioneering surgery.

:06:01. > :06:04.The parents of Thaine Marston, who is from Long Eaton, fought for him

:06:05. > :06:08.to get the new procedure after discovering his spine was ctrved.

:06:09. > :06:11.They were thrilled when a strgeon at Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre

:06:12. > :06:15.agreed to help, as Jo Healex reports.

:06:16. > :06:19.Doing this was something Th`ine feared may never happen. He was

:06:20. > :06:26.diagnosed with early onset scoliosis. It felt like a strain on

:06:27. > :06:32.my back, but I also felt upset and hurt emotionally because I would not

:06:33. > :06:38.believe that it could happen to me. But it did. You can see herd the

:06:39. > :06:41.curves in his spine. Tradithonally he would have endured many

:06:42. > :06:46.operations, his spine fused and unable to grow much. But thhs

:06:47. > :06:53.surgeon agreed to fit Thaind with new magnetic rods. He basic`lly has

:06:54. > :06:56.something like a scaffolding which holds his spine upright, as well as

:06:57. > :07:06.allowing us to distract these rods according to his growth. We can

:07:07. > :07:09.locate them on the x`ray and put a strong magnet on the skin and that

:07:10. > :07:21.causes the motorised section of the rods to lengthen. So no operations

:07:22. > :07:25.and Thaine can move and crucially grow. ?? FORCEDYELLOW I feel really

:07:26. > :07:30.happy. I think I have been one of the luckiest boys in the UK. It is

:07:31. > :07:33.100% better than the other option. It is straightforward and ldss

:07:34. > :07:40.intrusive and it makes his life much better. He could have been hn a

:07:41. > :07:44.wheelchair. I could have bedn pushing a wheelchair around. But

:07:45. > :07:52.with this magnetic spine he has got, it is fantastic. It is piondering

:07:53. > :07:55.work and that is what we ard trying to push forward at the Queen's

:07:56. > :07:59.Medical Centre. Only about 200 people in the world have had it so

:08:00. > :08:04.Thaine's mum and dad did have to push for it. I felt really happy and

:08:05. > :08:08.proud of them that they put a lot of work into it to help me get the best

:08:09. > :08:17.lifestyle and I have loved them for it all the time.

:08:18. > :08:20.The Police Commissioner for the region's biggest force has described

:08:21. > :08:26.the translation services usdd by police and courts as "crap". Paddy

:08:27. > :08:28.Tipping was responding to claims that Nottinghamshire Police are

:08:29. > :08:31.struggling to deal with fordign nationals.

:08:32. > :08:35.His outspoken remarks were lade while he was talking to our Social

:08:36. > :08:41.Affairs Correspondent, Jerely Ball ` who's here now. Why's he got so hot

:08:42. > :08:44.under the collar? Because the police and courts rely

:08:45. > :08:48.on interpreters to deal with foreign nationals who can't speak English.

:08:49. > :08:53.Both people who've been arrdsted and with people who've been victims of

:08:54. > :08:57.crime. Now if you look at this list of languages, you can see what

:08:58. > :09:00.they're up against. It's thd 40 languages that Nottinghamshhre

:09:01. > :09:07.Police had to get translated last year. And that cost the force almost

:09:08. > :09:10.?400,000. But this conference heard complaints that interpreters often

:09:11. > :09:14.aren't available when they're needed. And Paddy Tipping told me

:09:15. > :09:19.that he's particularly worrhed about agencies who translate for the

:09:20. > :09:23.police, on the phone or in courts. And he used some very strong

:09:24. > :09:28.language to call for their contracts to be scrapped.

:09:29. > :09:31.If we do not have the tools to do the job and we haven't got `

:09:32. > :09:35.contract that delivers, then it is costing us all money. It is not good

:09:36. > :09:38.for the offenders, the victhms, and in terms of public justice. ??

:09:39. > :09:47.FORCEDWHITE do you regret using the term "crap" to describe this

:09:48. > :09:53.service? I think you need to tell it as it is. And this is, let le say it

:09:54. > :09:57.on camera, a crap scheme. It needs to be taken away, torn up, started

:09:58. > :10:01.again. Has there been any response?

:10:02. > :10:04.Yes. As you can imagine, thd translation services involvdd are

:10:05. > :10:07.putting up a very stout defdnce For the courts, Capita told me ht is

:10:08. > :10:10.meeting its national targets. I ve also heard from Language Line, who

:10:11. > :10:15.provide interpreters on the phone for Nottinghamshire Police. They say

:10:16. > :10:18.the force is clear that it hs happy with the service and doesn't have

:10:19. > :10:21.any concerns. There has been some clarification from Paddy Tipping

:10:22. > :10:23.too, because, although he w`s responding to concerns about what is

:10:24. > :10:26.happening in Nottinghamshird, he says he is complaining about the

:10:27. > :10:36.translation service nationally. And I suspect those complaints will have

:10:37. > :10:39.been heard loud and clear tonight. The family of a woman who wdnt

:10:40. > :10:42.missing nearly four months `go have been told by police that thdy have

:10:43. > :10:45.found a body in Nottinghamshire 59`year`old Elaine Harrison

:10:46. > :10:48.disappeared from her houseboat at Castle Marina in Nottingham in

:10:49. > :10:52.December. Underwater search teams made the discovery at 11am this

:10:53. > :10:55.morning close to Colwick Park. Formal identification is yet to take

:10:56. > :11:02.place but the death is not thought to be suspicious.

:11:03. > :11:05.A Leicester speedway cycling club faces a repair bill of thousands of

:11:06. > :11:09.pounds after intruders brokd into its clubhouse and wrecked the

:11:10. > :11:11.building. They set fire to the kitchen and spattered paint across

:11:12. > :11:15.the walls and furniture of the Leicester Monarchs club basdd in

:11:16. > :11:20.Frog Island. The club estim`tes the total cost of repairing the damage

:11:21. > :11:25.will be around ?6000. It is completely devastating. You

:11:26. > :11:29.can probably expect people to break in to try and steal things, but when

:11:30. > :11:35.you look around and see what they have done ` they have just wrecked

:11:36. > :11:41.the place. We're a communitx sports club and we cannot replace what they

:11:42. > :11:44.have done. Next, the anger felt by people with

:11:45. > :11:46.disabilities over the Government's controversial "fitness to work"

:11:47. > :11:49.tests. At a protest today, campaigners claimed the assdssments

:11:50. > :11:52.are leaving many people who can t work without any support.

:11:53. > :11:56.Ministers insist the procedtres are fair. They say they want disability

:11:57. > :12:07.payments to go to people who need them most. Simon Ward reports from

:12:08. > :12:16.Leicester. Who should be told to go out and get

:12:17. > :12:18.a job and who should get benefits? These protestors are unhappx with

:12:19. > :12:24.the tests called Work Capabhlity Assessments. I agree that bdnefits

:12:25. > :12:28.it should go to those who nded them. I disagree that the governmdnt wants

:12:29. > :12:31.that to happen. They have sdt things up to cut down the number of people

:12:32. > :12:33.getting disability benefits, when less than one percent of those

:12:34. > :12:37.claiming disability benefits were committing fraud in the first place.

:12:38. > :12:41.The company that carries out the tests, ATOS, is losing its contract

:12:42. > :12:44.early next year after criticism None of these campaigners are having

:12:45. > :12:52.to appeal, but they say the process of assessment is unfair. We think

:12:53. > :12:55.that the DWP should be carrxing out assessments by itself. We do not

:12:56. > :13:03.think that assessments should be carried out for profit by a private

:13:04. > :13:06.contractor. In a statement the Department for Work and Pensions

:13:07. > :13:08.told us the majority of people on Disability Allowance receivd awards

:13:09. > :13:10.without reassessments and the new Personal Independence Payment

:13:11. > :13:19.includes face`to`face assessments and reviews to ensure the stpport

:13:20. > :13:23.goes to those who need it most. Loneliness is as damaging to the

:13:24. > :13:29.long term health of the elddrly as smoking or obesity. That's the claim

:13:30. > :13:32.being made by Age UK. Today the broadcaster Esther Rantzen was in

:13:33. > :13:36.Nottingham to support a loc`l campaign to help tackle londliness.

:13:37. > :13:39.It coincides with a new reghonal survey showing thousands of older

:13:40. > :13:47.people feel trapped in their own homes. Tom Brown reports.

:13:48. > :13:53.Many people dream of retirelent but for Colin Harrison it was one of the

:13:54. > :14:00.toughest times of his life. After leaving work aged 16 C was left

:14:01. > :14:07.living alone with nothing to do `` aged 60, he was. I think work

:14:08. > :14:14.provides structure and gives you a reason to do things. Unforttnately

:14:15. > :14:20.when you retire you have to find those things yourself. Over 1

:14:21. > :14:27.million people in the UK ovdr 6 continually feel lonely. Thdir

:14:28. > :14:32.charity Age UK says thousands of people in Nottinghamshire fdel

:14:33. > :14:38.trapped in their own home whth many admitting their main companx is the

:14:39. > :14:42.television. Today a conference was held in Nottingham to give `dvice to

:14:43. > :14:51.anyone struggling to cope on their own. The need to meet peopld and be

:14:52. > :14:56.part of what is going on. Wd are asking people to do small things

:14:57. > :15:00.like smile or say hello. We are asking them to think about ways to

:15:01. > :15:07.extend their social network to include new people. I think

:15:08. > :15:13.loneliness is so destructivd to people's health, physical and

:15:14. > :15:18.mental. It is likely there hs a campaign drawing attention to ways

:15:19. > :15:23.of alleviating it. It is cl`imed that loneliness is as damaghng to

:15:24. > :15:28.their health as smoking or drinking. Colin agrees that a simple smile

:15:29. > :15:33.could prevent the pain of bding by yourself. Over the years on this

:15:34. > :15:37.programme we've featured quhte a few epic charity treks.

:15:38. > :15:40.But this one's a little different. This challenging journey involves a

:15:41. > :15:45.minibus stacked to the roof with five hundred artificial legs. The

:15:46. > :15:49.prosthetic limbs are being driven from Leicester to the Afric`n state

:15:50. > :15:54.of Gambia. That is a bum`nulbing 4,000 miles. So, where have the legs

:15:55. > :16:06.come from ` and who will be using them? We have been collecting these

:16:07. > :16:09.prosthetic legs for the last 12 months from charities and hospital

:16:10. > :16:12.departments across the UK. To have a new prosthetic leg built costs

:16:13. > :16:20.between ?5000 and ?15,000. So those amputees out in the Gambia do not

:16:21. > :16:24.have a chance of funding a new one. So what we do is we send out these

:16:25. > :16:28.redundant prosthetic legs from here and they will customise thel to be

:16:29. > :16:31.reused over there. It all c`me about three years ago, during a trip to

:16:32. > :16:37.the Gambia. We met a wonderful family, but the father of the family

:16:38. > :16:40.had lost his leg from diabetes. We could see first`hand how difficult

:16:41. > :16:44.that was for everyone. So wd went about and we found him a new

:16:45. > :16:49.prosthetic leg. Since then our cause has grown from that one leg to a van

:16:50. > :16:52.full of 500 prosthetic legs. So these are going to the Royal

:16:53. > :16:55.Victoria Teaching Hospital hn the Gambia where there is a real need

:16:56. > :17:00.because of their problems whth diabetes and landmines. We have

:17:01. > :17:04.nearly loaded the van now rdady for Africa. We even have a spard engine

:17:05. > :17:16.on board. I am confident we will make it. The van already has 18 ,000

:17:17. > :17:27.miles on it. I don't see thhs as a problem, another 4000 miles will not

:17:28. > :17:31.hurt. You can follow the progress of our trip on our Facebook page, Legs

:17:32. > :17:41.for Africa. And please wish us the best of luck.

:17:42. > :17:45."Forget the Hype." That is the message from Leicester City Manager

:17:46. > :17:48.Nigel Pearson. But it is hard to do. The Foxes go into tonight's game at

:17:49. > :17:51.Wigan needing a maximum of just seven points from eight gamds to

:17:52. > :17:59.confirm their promotion to the Premier League. Kirsty Edwards looks

:18:00. > :18:03.ahead. Nigel Pearson will tell you nothing

:18:04. > :18:07.has been won yet. He is right of course, but it is easy to sde why so

:18:08. > :18:12.many people think the Foxes have promotion in the bag. The whn over

:18:13. > :18:17.Burnley saw Leicester go six points clear at the top. They are ` whole

:18:18. > :18:21.15 points ahead of third pl`ce and they have been nothing short of

:18:22. > :18:25.consistent. 19 games now thdy have gone unbeaten in the League and they

:18:26. > :18:31.certainly do not want that run to end tonight. Unbeaten is ond thing,

:18:32. > :18:34.but we want to win as many games as we can. We have to try and keep

:18:35. > :18:41.focused and not get involved with the hype that is becoming slightly

:18:42. > :18:45.more noticeable. The players should enjoy it but also understand there

:18:46. > :18:55.is a job to be done. Leicester have benefited from a very settldd side

:18:56. > :18:59.this season. But when needed, they have showing real strength `nd

:19:00. > :19:03.depth. Just like on Saturdax when striker Jamie Vardy had to be

:19:04. > :19:08.replaced by Chris Wood ` who went on to score a great goal. The players

:19:09. > :19:13.are very much supportive of each other. You can only ever have 1 in

:19:14. > :19:16.the starting plan, but the competition is very very kedn and

:19:17. > :19:19.the players recognise more than anything that our collectivd success

:19:20. > :19:29.is probably more important than any individual's situation. The dream of

:19:30. > :19:33.Premier League football herd next season is so close now. Thex have

:19:34. > :19:41.eight games left to make th`t dream a reality. Kirsty Edwards, BBC East

:19:42. > :19:44.Midlands today, Leicester. While Leicester stride towards

:19:45. > :19:47.promotion, Derby and Forest are both thinking of play`offs. Semifinal

:19:48. > :19:50.dates have now been confirmdd. The two two`legged matches will be

:19:51. > :20:01.completed over a lively fivd days between the eighth and 12th of May.

:20:02. > :20:08.Big rugby 's Leicester Tigers go into the Heineken cup this weekend

:20:09. > :20:13.as underdogs. The Tigers have returned to form in their l`st two

:20:14. > :20:17.games after struggling this season. They have not lost a home for nearly

:20:18. > :20:23.five years. We are looking forward to the challenge. As a sportsman you

:20:24. > :20:30.look forward to the biggest gains and you want to challenge yourself.

:20:31. > :20:34.I am sure that they are looking to go one step further to win ht this

:20:35. > :20:37.year but we will be doing everything we can to stop them.

:20:38. > :20:40.The cricket season started today ` and that is not an April Fool! Our

:20:41. > :20:43.first season preview is at Derbyshire, where the new Dhrector

:20:44. > :20:47.of Performance, Graeme Welch, has a target to get them promoted straight

:20:48. > :20:50.back to Division One. He is a familiar face at the three @ County

:20:51. > :20:54.Ground. He played there for seven years. But today he was the man in

:20:55. > :20:59.charge watching, with me, hhs men take on Durham University. How good

:21:00. > :21:03.is it to see them out there again for the new season? It is brilliant.

:21:04. > :21:06.We have had 12 good weeks of preparation and they are all

:21:07. > :21:09.champing at the bit to get out there. Personally, how are xou

:21:10. > :21:13.feeling? Back somewhere you are clearly loved. We saw someone on the

:21:14. > :21:18.stairs talking about the past, how does it feel for you? It has been

:21:19. > :21:21.great to come back. It is lhke I have never left. I have been away

:21:22. > :21:26.for seven years in different parts of the country, but as soon as the

:21:27. > :21:29.job came up it was a no`brahner really. Back to where I plaxed for

:21:30. > :21:33.seven or eight years. I havd got really fond memories of this place.

:21:34. > :21:37.What makes it special? It is the people in the club. In 2000, the

:21:38. > :21:40.club took me under their wing and it is just a great place with great

:21:41. > :21:44.people. The facilities are good Everything is looking good `t the

:21:45. > :21:48.moment. A new role, are you feeling the pressure off it? I wantdd to put

:21:49. > :21:58.myself under pressure. I wanted to challenge myself. We have good

:21:59. > :22:03.people under us so it should be good. It is a difficult job, but it

:22:04. > :22:07.is one I am looking forward to. You have got a squad that only narrowly

:22:08. > :22:11.missed out on staying in thd first division, can they go back `t the

:22:12. > :22:15.first attempt? I can't see why not to be honest. There are a lot of

:22:16. > :22:18.processes in place and we h`ve done a lot of technical work. Thdy are

:22:19. > :22:23.probably fitter than they h`ve ever been. All we can do is prep`re them

:22:24. > :22:27.for when they go over the white line and I think they are in a good place

:22:28. > :22:31.at the moment. Are they enjoying it? They seem to be. The first game of

:22:32. > :22:36.the season at the moment so they are all excited, but we will sed how the

:22:37. > :22:38.are in June, July, and August when it is actually hard work.

:22:39. > :22:42.Finally, he was Nottingham's forgotten sporting hero ` btried in

:22:43. > :22:44.an unmarked grave and overlooked by fans for decades. After an

:22:45. > :22:48.outstanding career as a footballer in the late 19th century, Thnsley

:22:49. > :22:52.Lindley died in 1940 aged 74. Now 74 years later, he's finally rdceived a

:22:53. > :23:06.headstone worthy of his memory. Paul Bradshaw reports.

:23:07. > :23:16.I delight in life and now rdcognised in death `` idolised. Tinsldy

:23:17. > :23:20.Lindley laid in an unmarked grave but now this handsome new m`rker has

:23:21. > :23:26.been unveiled in his memory. The new Greystone is down to this m`n from

:23:27. > :23:30.Silverdale. He has spent thd last nine months raising the ?5,000

:23:31. > :23:37.through auctions and donations to pay for their memorial. I al very

:23:38. > :23:41.proud. It has been hard work. I am pleased at the way it has ttrned

:23:42. > :23:50.out. I have a lot of people to thank. Tinsley Lindley had `

:23:51. > :23:56.remarkable sporting career playing for Nottingham Forest and not

:23:57. > :24:01.County, he went on to score many goals and eventually captained the

:24:02. > :24:07.national team. He also playdd cricket for Nottinghamshire. What

:24:08. > :24:12.has been done here is fantastic He has taken so much of his tile and

:24:13. > :24:16.effort to get to where we are today and to unveil it. The centrd forward

:24:17. > :24:24.when termites are nearly three quarters of a century `` went

:24:25. > :24:39.unmarked. It is looking pretty good for

:24:40. > :24:47.tomorrow and the next coupld of days. We have low`pressure `nchored

:24:48. > :24:54.to the west the bus allowing us to draw in warm southerly winds. We can

:24:55. > :25:01.see that we have a weather front pushing its way into night which may

:25:02. > :25:08.bring some showers. But aftdr that, we are looking at a decent day

:25:09. > :25:14.tomorrow. Temperatures could be 18`19 degrees. For the rest of the

:25:15. > :25:26.evening and tonight we will be dry, but later the clouds will increase

:25:27. > :25:37.and some showers. But the Chavez will be fairly isolated. `` these

:25:38. > :25:46.showers. The son will start to poke through in the early hours of the

:25:47. > :25:53.morning. There will be closdd at times and the temperatures `re

:25:54. > :26:03.dependent on where the sunshine is. But possibly 17, 18, or even 19

:26:04. > :26:12.degrees. Some uncertainty for the buyers the `` for Thursday, but it

:26:13. > :26:14.will get to us eventually. We will be back later, Intel then h`ve a

:26:15. > :26:42.good evening. Goodbye. All across the country, millions of

:26:43. > :26:46.families are waking up to a Britain in which they find it harder to get

:26:47. > :26:50.on. Whilst the Government keeps telling people everything is fixed,

:26:51. > :26:53.many are finding that hard work no longer stops the pound in their

:26:54. > :26:58.pocket getting smaller, or the bills getting harder to afford. Under

:26:59. > :27:00.David Cameron, gas and electricity bills have increased by more than

:27:01. > :27:02.?300 for an average family,
