:01:05. > :01:09.Good evening and welcome to Friday's programme. First tonight, she was as
:01:10. > :01:13.proud of Leicester as Leicester was of her. Today a host of tributes
:01:14. > :01:22.have been paid to Sue Townsend, the author, who's died at the age of 68.
:01:23. > :01:25.Born and raised in the East Midlands, Sue spent most of her life
:01:26. > :01:29.in Leicester, using it as a setting for her most famous work ` the
:01:30. > :01:38.Adrian Mole series. Amy Harris reports.
:01:39. > :01:44.Hapless hero Adrian Mole brought to life on television. He is the
:01:45. > :01:48.creation of Sue Townsend, whose hugely popular series follows him
:01:49. > :01:54.from adolescence to maturity, all set in and around her home city. She
:01:55. > :02:02.charted social history in an ordinary town that was not London.
:02:03. > :02:07.Over the course of 30 years. She is a national treasure. Adrian Mole
:02:08. > :02:11.made her name but her the role was originally called something else and
:02:12. > :02:18.at the University of Leicester's library lies the evidence. This is
:02:19. > :02:23.one of our prize possessions. This is the only draft manuscript of The
:02:24. > :02:41.Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole. You will notice that it is actually
:02:42. > :02:46.Nigel Mole. This presenter met her before the release of the brick and
:02:47. > :02:51.they have been friends since. I still get overwhelmed thinking about
:02:52. > :02:55.it. To be just a tiny part in those incredibly well wonderfully funny
:02:56. > :03:02.and much loved book 's is just wonderful. She achieved worldwide
:03:03. > :03:13.success following the publication of Adrian Mole books. She was left
:03:14. > :03:21.blind by diabetes and died after a stroke. She was able to touch people
:03:22. > :03:29.'s hearts through her story telling. She was a real person. Her honesty
:03:30. > :03:33.came across in her books which have entertained and enchanted millions
:03:34. > :03:39.of readers. She will go down in history as the Leicestershire
:03:40. > :03:45.schoolgirl who gave Adrian Mole to the world.
:03:46. > :03:48.As you heard in Amy's piece, tributes have been paid from across
:03:49. > :03:53.the country and here's just a few of those quotes from Twitter today.
:03:54. > :03:56.JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, said she was "so sad
:03:57. > :04:00.to hear about Sue Townsend. She gave me so many laughs." Comedian Sarah
:04:01. > :04:03.Millican said she was just about to start reading Sue's most recent
:04:04. > :04:07.novel, The Woman Who Went To Bed For A Year, and will "do so now with a
:04:08. > :04:11.heavier heart". The actor David Walliams described her as a "comedy
:04:12. > :04:14.genius" and "a lovely lady". And finally, the writer Caitlin Moran
:04:15. > :04:26.said she was "one of the funniest women who ever lived".
:04:27. > :04:29.The Leicestershire`based Rosemary Conley Health And Fitness Company is
:04:30. > :04:31.terminating its contracts with all franchisees across the country. The
:04:32. > :04:35.business is already in administration but a lack of cash
:04:36. > :04:38.coming in has prompted the move. Simon Ward is outside the company's
:04:39. > :04:46.headquarters at Quorn in Leicestershire. Simon, what's led to
:04:47. > :04:55.the decision today? There are various parts of the
:04:56. > :04:59.business empire up for sale. During the recession, less people went to
:05:00. > :05:05.fitness classes and it has been hard to find new members. Rosemary Conley
:05:06. > :05:11.and the administrators remain confident and hope they will find a
:05:12. > :05:14.new buyer. But at the moment the process of terminating contracts is
:05:15. > :05:17.going ahead. It's a famous brand that is getting
:05:18. > :05:21.into difficulties. Already in administration, parts of the company
:05:22. > :05:24.are up for sale. Now it has been revealed more than 120 franchisees
:05:25. > :05:26.who run Rosemary Conley Food And Fitness clubs are having their
:05:27. > :05:30.contracts terminated because some were not paying regular fees. The
:05:31. > :05:34.business requires an income from management services fees payable by
:05:35. > :05:37.the individual franchisees. A number have not been able to pay for one
:05:38. > :05:42.reason or another. That means the company cannot continue providing
:05:43. > :05:46.support to franchisees. Sharon Perdue is one of the franchisees in
:05:47. > :05:51.Nottingham. She has operated for 19 years. We have been going to classes
:05:52. > :05:55.for the last ten weeks, trying to keep the smile on our face. The last
:05:56. > :05:59.week, Rosemary told us on Monday that we would be able to walk away
:06:00. > :06:03.from our contract. Yesterday, we knew the date, which will be the
:06:04. > :06:07.17th of April. That was a bit of a relief because we had been in limbo.
:06:08. > :06:10.Then it was a little scary as well. Rosemary Conley herself is
:06:11. > :06:15.travelling out of the UK but spoke on the phone. Discussions are
:06:16. > :06:22.ongoing with a number of parties who are interested in taking the
:06:23. > :06:25.franchise operation forward. If that doesn't work out, there is a real
:06:26. > :06:38.opportunity for franchisees to be able to use my name under licence.
:06:39. > :06:48.Administrators hope the company founder is right and someone steps
:06:49. > :06:56.in to rescue the business. What is the timescale now?
:06:57. > :07:00.From next Thursday, business support is being withdrawn from people who
:07:01. > :07:05.run the clubs. From the 25th of April, the contract will be
:07:06. > :07:10.terminated. At that point, people will have to stop using the Rosemary
:07:11. > :07:17.Conley branding although they are hoping to licence the name in
:07:18. > :07:22.future. There trying to find a buyer for part of the company at least so
:07:23. > :07:25.it is likely to be a crucial month. Still to come: the row over
:07:26. > :07:33.freemasonry that sparked a walk`out by county councillors.
:07:34. > :07:34.And all set for a festival of cycling in Derbyshire. I'm off to
:07:35. > :07:46.join the fun. A man has been charged with the
:07:47. > :07:49.murder of a woman in the Normanton area of Derby. Yvette Hallsworth was
:07:50. > :07:56.found dead on Sunday morning at the back of houses on Hartington Street.
:07:57. > :07:59.The 36`year`old died of stab wounds. 18`year`old Mateusz Kosecki appeared
:08:00. > :08:04.before magistrates in the city today and is due to appear again at
:08:05. > :08:07.Nottingham Crown Court on Monday. A Nottinghamshire Police officer who
:08:08. > :08:09.was sacked after he was wrongly convicted of rape has been
:08:10. > :08:13.reinstated today. Trevor Gray was dismissed after being sentenced to
:08:14. > :08:17.eight years for attacking a woman at her home. That conviction was later
:08:18. > :08:21.quashed and he was subsequently cleared at a retrial. Yesterday, the
:08:22. > :08:27.Police Appeals Tribunal ruled that Mr Gray could return to his job.
:08:28. > :08:32.A teenager from Loughborough has denied preparing a terrorist attack
:08:33. > :08:36.on his own home town. Today Michael Piggin told the Old
:08:37. > :08:39.Bailey that he was influenced by the Columbine High School killers. But
:08:40. > :08:43.he said he only wrote about repeating the attack as a way to
:08:44. > :08:46.cope with bullying. Our social affairs correspondent, Jeremy Ball,
:08:47. > :08:56.was in court and joins us from London. What happened today?
:08:57. > :09:11.Today he was giving evidence for the first time in this trial. He went
:09:12. > :09:14.into the witness box wearing an Arctic Monkeys t`shirt. And he
:09:15. > :09:18.quietly took the jury through his side of the story, led by questions
:09:19. > :09:21.from his barrister. The central plank of Michael Piggin's defence.
:09:22. > :09:23.That he was simply a bullied teenager who fantasised about
:09:24. > :09:25.killing as a coping mechanism. But who never intended to go through
:09:26. > :09:28.with it. What did he say about the claim that
:09:29. > :09:32.he planned to copy the notorious Columbine high school massacre?
:09:33. > :09:37.Michael Piggin told the jury that he was influenced by the Columbine
:09:38. > :09:40.killers. And he admitted that he felt sorry for them because, like
:09:41. > :09:43.him, they'd been bullied. And he talked about a central piece of
:09:44. > :09:46.evidence in this case. Detailed notes he wrote called Plans And
:09:47. > :09:49.Tactics For Operation: The New Columbine. His barrister, Ali Bajwa
:09:50. > :09:53.QC, asked, "Is this a genuine plan?" Michael Piggin replied, "Of course
:09:54. > :09:56.not". And he was asked, "Did you approve of what they did?" The
:09:57. > :09:59.teenager said, "Of course not, no". He also denied that he was serious
:10:00. > :10:03.about attacking Loughborough mosque, and other targets that he'd named on
:10:04. > :10:07.a hit`list. And what did he say about weapons
:10:08. > :10:08.and videos that have been shown to the jury?
:10:09. > :10:14.Well, he's denied stockpiling weapons for an attack. Instead, he
:10:15. > :10:19.said he collected airguns and knives, because it was cool. And a
:10:20. > :10:25.crossbow found by the police was a Christmas present from his nan. He
:10:26. > :10:29.was also asked about this evidence. A petrol bomb test. He said that was
:10:30. > :10:34.something he did with his friends, simply for entertainment. And
:10:35. > :10:37.finally those videos where he made threats on behalf of the Urban
:10:38. > :10:40.Revolutionary Army. Michael Piggin said they wanted to be seen as an
:10:41. > :10:47.anti`extremist group, to defend people. But he suggested it was just
:10:48. > :10:56.teenage bravado. He'll be back in the witness box next week, to face
:10:57. > :10:59.questions from the prosecution. Anti`fracking campaigners have set
:11:00. > :11:03.up an eco camp in Nottinghamshire. It's an attempt to block plans to
:11:04. > :11:05.drill for shale gas at Daneshill, in the north of the county.
:11:06. > :11:08.The campaigners claim the first application for underground fracking
:11:09. > :11:11.in the East Midlands is now just weeks away. This report from the
:11:12. > :11:17.Sunday Politics reporter Helen McCulloch.
:11:18. > :11:26.In a wood in the north Nottinghamshire, a protest camp is
:11:27. > :11:29.growing. Ic ame from Scotland and I heard they were setting up here and
:11:30. > :11:33.I thought with the Robin Hood legends and stuff and the nature
:11:34. > :11:36.reserve, this would be a good place to try to turn the tide. At the
:11:37. > :11:40.moment, they are objecting to drilling to extract methane gas from
:11:41. > :11:43.the coalbed below the ground. With this area potentially rich in shale
:11:44. > :11:46.gas, it could soon become the next battle ground in the fight against
:11:47. > :11:50.fracking. We have been told the first application in the East
:11:51. > :11:53.Midlands could come as soon as the next two weeks. Protesters here are
:11:54. > :11:56.making plans. Would you like some leaflets? Kat Boettge from the Green
:11:57. > :12:02.Party is a regular visitor to the camp. She shares concerns voiced by
:12:03. > :12:07.protesters here. We need strict regulations in place. It is a joke,
:12:08. > :12:11.isn't it? An absolute joke. To produce 10% of the gas we need in
:12:12. > :12:15.this country, we are talking about 300 wells every year for the next
:12:16. > :12:24.ten years. That is 3000 wells drilled over ten years. You tell me
:12:25. > :12:27.how you will regulate when you drill one mile down, turn left and drill
:12:28. > :12:31.for another mile. How do you regulate that? But fracking
:12:32. > :12:35.companies have the backing of the Prime Minister and are casting their
:12:36. > :12:38.eyes over the East Midlands. The first thing is we have to explore
:12:39. > :12:42.and establish the presence of shale and ascertain whether or not it is
:12:43. > :12:47.economically attractive. That will entail at some point having to frack
:12:48. > :12:50.the well in order to get the gas to flow. Our expectation is that
:12:51. > :12:57.probably will occur sometime in 2015. Protesters are heading to the
:12:58. > :13:03.region and the battle lines are being drawn.
:13:04. > :13:06.And the issue will be debated on the Sunday Politics for the East
:13:07. > :13:10.Midlands with MPs Jessica Lee and Jon Ashworth. Join Marie Ashby at
:13:11. > :13:20.the later time of 2.30 this Sunday here on BBC One.
:13:21. > :13:23.Plans to make it compulsory for councillors to declare if they're a
:13:24. > :13:27.freemason has led to a walk`out by elected members at one authority.
:13:28. > :13:29.The man behind the plan says it's to promote greater transparency. But
:13:30. > :13:32.the Conservative group on Derbyshire County Council says the idea's been
:13:33. > :13:40.poorly thought out. Simon Hare reports.
:13:41. > :13:46.Conservative county councillors in Derbyshire walk out of this week's
:13:47. > :13:51.full meeting of the authority. It follows a motion tabled by Labour's
:13:52. > :13:55.Andy Botham who feels if she has to declare his membership of a trade
:13:56. > :14:00.union, others should declare if they are a Freemason. The motion was
:14:01. > :14:05.passed unanimously and supported by the third majority party. The
:14:06. > :14:10.Conservatives have walked away and I don't know when they are coming
:14:11. > :14:14.back. No one from the Conservative group was available for interview
:14:15. > :14:18.but they made a statement saying that the motion had been thoroughly
:14:19. > :14:23.worded and was unconstructive and they have not had the chance to
:14:24. > :14:29.debate it properly. This solicitor has been a Freemason for 50 years.
:14:30. > :14:33.He says it is nonpolitical and members cannot use it in their self
:14:34. > :14:40.interest. We must declare an interest if any conflict arises. You
:14:41. > :14:45.can't ask a Freemason to declare himself when he is involved in any
:14:46. > :14:54.walk of life. Its ties to the human rights act. Freemasons are proud of
:14:55. > :15:01.what we do and should promote it but if they are hiding behind secrecy
:15:02. > :15:08.how can they do that? It will be taken to another council committee
:15:09. > :15:10.before being confirmed as policy. Yesterday, we had a look inside
:15:11. > :15:14.Derby's new partly completed velodrome. And it seems if you're a
:15:15. > :15:17.serious cycling enthusiast or just want to get fitter this summer then
:15:18. > :15:20.Derby and Derbyshire are the place to be.
:15:21. > :15:25.Over 100 separate events will take place throughout the city and
:15:26. > :15:29.county, in a festival of cycling. Some will be light` hearted ` a
:15:30. > :15:32.celebration of old bikes, good food and fine wine. Others, more serious,
:15:33. > :15:40.including the gruelling and ultra`competitive Tour de France.
:15:41. > :15:46.James Roberson reports. Typical. You wait for one Olympian
:15:47. > :15:50.and two come along at once. Annie Last, who did well at her mountain
:15:51. > :15:53.biking event in the London Olympics knows all about the value of cycling
:15:54. > :15:57.in the Peak District. She grew up there. Having great trails and
:15:58. > :16:01.accessibility on my doorstep meant it was easy to get out and have
:16:02. > :16:10.great fun and good training and bike riding. The Olympics have hugely
:16:11. > :16:13.boosted cycling's popularity. Now dozens of events in Derbyshire at
:16:14. > :16:18.this summer will raise its profile further and hopefully bring visitors
:16:19. > :16:25.and money to the area. Tourism is already worth about ?1 billion per
:16:26. > :16:28.annum here so it is big business. The range of events being staged
:16:29. > :16:33.here over the summer are of national and international importance. It is
:16:34. > :16:36.hugely important to the national park because this is a cycling
:16:37. > :16:41.festival that celebrates the landscape, local food, local
:16:42. > :16:45.communities and heritage. They will be focusing on well dressing, cheese
:16:46. > :16:48.and the fantastic beer that comes from the Peak District and our
:16:49. > :16:53.landscape. That's the great thing about it. But it's not just in the
:16:54. > :16:56.Peak District. Both the opening of the new velodrome and a new bike hub
:16:57. > :17:00.are happening in Derby this summer. We are very excited that the
:17:01. > :17:03.velodrome is opening in Derby so that will add another facility to
:17:04. > :17:06.claim we are a great place for cycling. The highlight must be the
:17:07. > :17:09.Tour de France. Three times Paralympic gold medal winner Anthony
:17:10. > :17:12.Katz from Derbyshire says in its brief visit to the Peak District,
:17:13. > :17:18.the steepest path will be unmissable. Whether you know about
:17:19. > :17:22.cycling or not, everyone knows the Tour de France. It is such a
:17:23. > :17:26.spectacle and opportunity to see the best riders in the world going
:17:27. > :17:31.through the area. Anyone who has the opportunity to have a look, you have
:17:32. > :17:35.to take the opportunity. We are all set for a summer of cycling. I'm off
:17:36. > :17:49.on a bicycle made for two, or maybe 3000, with a Paralympian on the
:17:50. > :17:51.back. Coming later on the programme:
:17:52. > :17:55.limbering up for the London Marathon.
:17:56. > :18:02.Hundreds of East Midlanders will be taking part ` among them, our very
:18:03. > :18:06.own Mel Coles. Find out why, later. And will it be perfect weather for
:18:07. > :18:10.the marathon or outdoor plans this weekend? Your detailed forecast
:18:11. > :18:23.shortly. First, Derby County could confirm
:18:24. > :18:29.their place in the play`offs tomorrow at home to Huddersfield in
:18:30. > :18:32.front of their home fans. For striker Johnny Russell it would be
:18:33. > :18:38.so sweet after a tough season with three bad injuries in less than a
:18:39. > :18:41.year. Kirsty Edwards reports. Just another day on the Derby
:18:42. > :18:46.training ground but there's one player here who doesn't take a
:18:47. > :18:51.minute for granted. Johnny Russell is all smiles now. Back in the team
:18:52. > :18:55.and enjoying their great position in the league. In the past year, he
:18:56. > :19:00.suffered three serious injuries. It has been a pretty rubbish year, to
:19:01. > :19:03.be honest. I hadn't missed any games or training through injury and then
:19:04. > :19:13.I had the leg breaks and a fractured cheekbone and all in the space of
:19:14. > :19:16.about a year. The latest injury, a nasty fractured cheekbone, saw him
:19:17. > :19:22.having to wear a protective mask for a while but not even that could
:19:23. > :19:26.change his approach to the game. I would give 100%. I would never pull
:19:27. > :19:31.out of a tackle or shy away from anything just because I'd been
:19:32. > :19:35.injured before. He has been unlucky. His first game, he scored two goals
:19:36. > :19:41.and breaks his leg. Comes back and gets another injury. He has been one
:19:42. > :19:47.of the unluckiest players. When he is fit and playing he is a great
:19:48. > :19:51.asset for us. He says this past year has been his most frustrating but
:19:52. > :19:59.also the best. The dream of promotion is still very much alive.
:20:00. > :20:04.Derby is a Premier League team so that's where we want to be. I signed
:20:05. > :20:08.to be a part of the team that got us back up there. There is still a long
:20:09. > :20:12.way to go but we feel we are in a good position and hopefully we can
:20:13. > :20:15.go for it. Fingers crossed all the injuries are now well and truly
:20:16. > :20:21.behind him. They come in threes, they say. Hopefully that's it done
:20:22. > :20:24.with. So Derby up in third. Nottingham
:20:25. > :20:28.Forest meanwhile are down in tenth place without a win in 11 games. But
:20:29. > :20:32.they are still just four points off the playoff places and up against
:20:33. > :20:37.QPR tomorrow. Caretaker manager Gary Brazil believes their luck will
:20:38. > :20:41.change. It is frustrating because obviously when you are doing
:20:42. > :20:45.something you want to do it well. There is definitely momentum on the
:20:46. > :20:49.training ground and in the place. I think we need to that win to pick it
:20:50. > :20:55.up and make it more visible to people outside the club who aren't
:20:56. > :20:58.there day`to`day. In League One, Notts County continue
:20:59. > :21:03.their battle to avoid the drop as they face Port Vale at Meadow Lane.
:21:04. > :21:07.And Mansfield Town are at home to Rochdale.
:21:08. > :21:10.Rugby, and Geoff Parling will be back in contention for the first
:21:11. > :21:15.time in months as Tigers take on London Wasps. He has recovered from
:21:16. > :21:28.a long term shoulder injury and joins Niall Morris on the bench.

:21:36. > :21:37.Dave Brailsford has stepped down as performance director for British
:21:38. > :21:40.Cycling. Brailsford, from Derbyshire, led the GB team to
:21:41. > :21:43.unprecedented success including eight gold medals in Beijing and the
:21:44. > :21:47.London Olympics. After ten years in the role he is leaving to
:21:48. > :21:50.concentrate on his work for Team Sky which he helped establish and led to
:21:51. > :21:59.victory in the Tour de France with both Bradley Wiggins and Chris
:22:00. > :22:04.Froome. What an ambassador for the area.
:22:05. > :22:08.It's the London Marathon this weekend and hundreds of runners from
:22:09. > :22:10.the East Midlands will be taking part, many of them raising money for
:22:11. > :22:14.incredibly special causes. And that includes our very own
:22:15. > :22:18.weather presenter, Mel Coles. Mel is raising money for a cause very close
:22:19. > :22:21.to her heart. Also running for a personal reason is father of two
:22:22. > :22:25.Andrew Dawkins. Sarah Teale has their stories.
:22:26. > :22:30.A beautiful morning for a final training run for the big day itself.

:22:33. > :22:38.competing with thousands of others in the London Marathon on Sunday.
:22:39. > :22:43.She has forecast a tough race but she will be spurred on by a very
:22:44. > :22:50.special little girl. She is raising money for three`year`old Iris. She
:22:51. > :22:55.suffers from a rare form of muscular dystrophy.
:22:56. > :23:00.How much training have you done? A lot. It has taken every bit of spare
:23:01. > :23:04.time. I've had to get out there and run and I know that her parents
:23:05. > :23:08.would love to see her get up one more day. I think in those dark
:23:09. > :23:12.moments where it has been painful or cold, to get out there on the start
:23:13. > :23:15.line and be running for Iris means the world, actually. Raising money
:23:16. > :23:19.for another incredibly personal cause is Andrew Dawkins from
:23:20. > :23:22.Hucknall. He is running for his sons Freddie and Louie, the only
:23:23. > :23:28.identical twins in the world with Batten disease. Now aged eight, they
:23:29. > :23:34.are autistic and blind. Andrew is raising ?20,000 to fund critical
:23:35. > :23:38.research. Looking for therapies which could come from different
:23:39. > :23:41.parts of drugs treatment. That's what they're looking for, but
:23:42. > :23:46.ultimately a cure. In the past four years, researchhas come on so much
:23:47. > :23:53.more than we would ever imagine. We have hope now and we've got to fight
:23:54. > :23:56.back. We're going to make a difference for our children and
:23:57. > :23:59.other children with this disease. We are determined, aren't we? Yeah.
:24:00. > :24:02.That is something that that Iris's parents can understand. Mel's
:24:03. > :24:08.marathon run has already helped to raise almost ?4000 for the Muscular
:24:09. > :24:12.Dystrophy Campaign. They are very close to breakthroughs on a lot of
:24:13. > :24:16.research that is going on so it can make a huge difference to a lot of
:24:17. > :24:22.people who do struggle and have quite bleak outlooks. It is hugely
:24:23. > :24:26.important. Mel is hoping to complete the marathon in under four hours and
:24:27. > :24:32.there is one factor which will help to put an extra spring in her step
:24:33. > :24:35.along the route. Your husband is racing as well,
:24:36. > :24:39.isn't he? How important is it that you beat him? Obviously, it is
:24:40. > :24:43.critical. I have to beat him. And she will be backed every step of the
:24:44. > :24:51.way by Iris and her family. Good luck, Mel!
:24:52. > :24:53.Good luck to everyone who's running, including our athletes like
:24:54. > :24:56.Paralympian Richard Whitehead and Leicester's long distance runner
:24:57. > :25:04.Gemma Steel, who's competing in her first ever competitive marathon.
:25:05. > :25:07.So many worthy fundraisers taking part like Ady Turton from Nottingham
:25:08. > :25:16.who's running for Beating Bowel Cancer in memory of his mum and
:25:17. > :25:18.grandfather. If Good luck also to Mansfield District Council
:25:19. > :25:22.electrician Craig Stinson, Richard Norton who's running a year after
:25:23. > :25:25.being in an accident at work and Stewart Sale who's running for Hope
:25:26. > :25:28.Against Cancer. And shout`outs to Gareth Laking raising money for

:26:34. > :26:43.or three Celsius in rural spots. In the Peak District you may get a
:26:44. > :26:47.little frost. This weather front moves south east as we go through
:26:48. > :26:53.the afternoon tomorrow bringing more cloud and sunlight, patchy rain for
:26:54. > :27:00.a time. But it won't amount to much. Saturday starts bright and sunny.
:27:01. > :27:08.First, we see high clouds developing making the sunshine hazy. Just a few
:27:09. > :27:16.spots of rain in the afternoon but some of us will get away with a dry
