hundreds of people after a South That's all

:00:00.:00:00.

You This is East Midlands Today with Geeta Pendse and me, Dominic Heale.

:00:00.:00:12.

Tonight: Jail for three men who aimed a laser beam at a passenger

:00:13.:00:18.

plane. Are the three admittdd endangering passenger safetx. All I

:00:19.:00:25.

can say is I am very sorry for what happened. It would never happen

:00:26.:00:32.

again. Also tonight, a frightening end to a night out. A new w`rning

:00:33.:00:38.

for drivers towing caravans. Plus a huge rise in the number of people

:00:39.:00:45.

using food banks. Della mac you just get some food to keep you going And

:00:46.:00:53.

British touring car is at Donington Park, we have the best view of the

:00:54.:01:07.

action. Good evening and welcome to the

:01:08.:01:11.

programme. First tonight: J`iled ` three men who put the lives of

:01:12.:01:14.

hundreds of passengers in d`nger by aiming a laser beam at plands

:01:15.:01:17.

landing at East Midlands Airport. Twenty`one`year`old Luke Walters,

:01:18.:01:20.

seen here on crutches, and Craig Appleby, who's twenty, were

:01:21.:01:23.

sentenced to five months in prison. Nineteen`year`old Alex Parkdr was

:01:24.:01:28.

jailed for seven months. The judge condemned their actions,

:01:29.:01:31.

adding that people living in the region remembered the Kegworth

:01:32.:01:34.

Aircrash and therefore thesd were deterrent sentences. Simon Ward

:01:35.:01:42.

reports from Leicester Crown Court. The court heard that the aircraft

:01:43.:01:48.

and the control tower is at Midlands airport were struck by the laser.

:01:49.:01:53.

The crew of one error plane said the light was so bright, they h`d to

:01:54.:01:59.

cover the windows. These pictures from a police exercise shall have

:02:00.:02:04.

powerful laser pointers can be. Officials on the ground in the laser

:02:05.:02:08.

into the sky. This can affect the vision of crew at night. 20`year`old

:02:09.:02:16.

Craig Appleby pleaded guiltx with the others. They were caught near

:02:17.:02:22.

East Midlands airport in February last year. He told me he regrets the

:02:23.:02:27.

whole thing. There is no pohnt in lying about it. I said I shone a

:02:28.:02:36.

laser pen at the aeroplanes. I know what dangers it can cause now. It

:02:37.:02:43.

was horrible. On reflection, you can understand the dangers therd could

:02:44.:02:49.

be? After I read my statement, I was very shocked at the damage ht did.

:02:50.:02:54.

Having pleaded guilty, what would you say to other people? All I can

:02:55.:03:00.

say is I am very sorry for what happened. It will never happen

:03:01.:03:04.

again. I was not aware of what I was doing. In a darkened room, the laser

:03:05.:03:12.

pointer shows up more brightly. In recent years, the more powerful

:03:13.:03:15.

laser pointers have been reloved for general sale. They are supposed to

:03:16.:03:20.

be used in education and presentations. But others are easily

:03:21.:03:27.

available for just the few pounds. The main surprise was shock, it was

:03:28.:03:34.

the surprise that the pilot recorded. The real danger is flash

:03:35.:03:39.

blindness. The laser pointer comes unexpectedly, and is extremdly

:03:40.:03:44.

bright, and that flash blindness stays with the pilot for a while. It

:03:45.:03:49.

is an offence that has been increasing. East Midlands ahrport

:03:50.:03:55.

ranks about any medal for UK airports, with 70 incidents with

:03:56.:03:58.

laser pointers reported in the last year alone. The airport said that

:03:59.:04:03.

the safety of passengers and staff are their first priority. Shmon

:04:04.:04:09.

Ward, BBC East Midlands tod`y, Leicester.

:04:10.:04:17.

Next tonight, holiday`makers are being warned to take extra care

:04:18.:04:21.

after dramatic footage of a van towing an out of control caravan,

:04:22.:04:26.

was taken in Leicestershire. Footage of the crash has been released as a

:04:27.:04:30.

warning to holiday`makers to take care, as thousands head off for the

:04:31.:04:35.

bank holiday weekend. Shocking CCTV footage taken on the

:04:36.:04:40.

M1 in Leicester. The caravan is out of control, before being off into

:04:41.:04:46.

the side of the road. Thankfully, the motorway wasn't busy. Drivers

:04:47.:04:51.

here are looking forward to the Easter break, but they know all too

:04:52.:04:55.

well how dangerous towing a caravan can be. Della mac I have sedn

:04:56.:05:01.

caravans in the ditch, upside down, cars upside down, caravans smashed

:05:02.:05:07.

all over with their furniture already hard shoulder. When you put

:05:08.:05:13.

the foot on the break, you can't stop that easily. They are difficult

:05:14.:05:19.

to tour if the wind gets hold of them, they can turn over a very

:05:20.:05:27.

easily. You have two tonne of car, two tonnes of caravan, and then if

:05:28.:05:32.

somebody comes in and cut straight in front of me, how do I stop?

:05:33.:05:38.

Between January and March l`st year, there were 60 incidents on our roads

:05:39.:05:45.

involving caravans and trailers Over the spring, that figurd rose to

:05:46.:05:49.

125. Over the summer, the ntmber of incidents on our roads rose to 27.

:05:50.:05:59.

So what can drivers do? The best thing to do is make sure th`t the

:06:00.:06:03.

tyres are legal, the pressure is correct. Ensure that trailers are

:06:04.:06:10.

correctly attached, and keep to the speed limits. The message is clear `

:06:11.:06:19.

slow down and stay safe, so that you arrive at your destination hn one

:06:20.:06:25.

place. Leicester Prison was found to be 80

:06:26.:06:29.

per cent over capacity during a spot`check by inspectors. Today s

:06:30.:06:31.

report follows a surprise vhsit by Her Majesty's Inspector of Prisons

:06:32.:06:34.

in November. It concludes that the jail faces some significant

:06:35.:06:37.

challenges if it's to becomd more effective. Staff were praisdd for

:06:38.:06:41.

the way they dealt with those at risk of self harm, but inspdctors

:06:42.:06:44.

were concerned many prisoners felt unsafe when it came to levels of

:06:45.:06:48.

violence. Derby's new velodrome could be used

:06:49.:06:52.

to host some events affected by the closure of the city's Assembly

:06:53.:06:56.

Rooms. Yesterday, it was announced that the venue will be shut for at

:06:57.:06:59.

least 18 months while it's rebuilt or repaired. A number of

:07:00.:07:02.

high`profile events have had to be cancelled. The velodrome, which

:07:03.:07:06.

opens next January, is being considered as an alternativd.

:07:07.:07:10.

Building a temporary venue hs also an option.

:07:11.:07:18.

Still to come ` feeding the hungry. Church leaders clash with the

:07:19.:07:20.

Government over the reasons behind a huge rise in the number of people

:07:21.:07:41.

relying on food banks. A teenager who murdered a football

:07:42.:07:44.

coach has been sentenced to life imprisonment and must serve a

:07:45.:07:47.

minimum of fifteen years. Htssain Hussain stabbed Antoin Akpol after a

:07:48.:07:50.

street confrontation in Leicester last year.

:07:51.:07:51.

The judge told the nineteen`year`old the killing was the result of

:07:52.:07:54.

gang`related street violencd. He said whatever the failures of Antoin

:07:55.:07:58.

Akpom, there was a good sidd to him and nothing could justify t`king his

:07:59.:08:00.

life. The jury was unable to reach a

:08:01.:08:03.

verdict on another nineteen`year`old, Abdul Hakim who

:08:04.:08:06.

denied murder. A decision on whether he'll face a retrial will bd made

:08:07.:08:09.

within the next two weeks. Here s our Chief News reporter Quentin

:08:10.:08:23.

Rayner. 20`year`old Antoin Akpomb w`s a

:08:24.:08:26.

father, fiance, and football coach, and the youngest of five.

:08:27.:08:29.

Sometimes I'm OK, sometimes it feels like someone has ripped somdthing

:08:30.:08:32.

out from inside me, because he was the youngest one and he... Xou just

:08:33.:08:36.

miss his voice, his laughter... I could talk to him about anything. He

:08:37.:08:39.

was just an amazing person. Her son was stabbed once in the back

:08:40.:08:43.

with a ten inch kitchen knife by Hussein Hussein, a refugee from

:08:44.:08:46.

Somalia. It happened shortlx after 5:30pm on the evening of 12

:08:47.:08:49.

September last year, just as this BBC employee was returning to his

:08:50.:08:52.

parked car. I noticed there was a young man

:08:53.:08:55.

lying face`down, right next to my card here, and he was attended by

:08:56.:09:00.

some paramedics. It was onlx later on that I noticed that therd was a

:09:01.:09:04.

trail of blood from the corner of Sussex Street all the way up to here

:09:05.:09:17.

where Antoin fell. Gang riv`lry was blamed. But Antoin Akpom's family

:09:18.:09:27.

categorically denied he ever had anything to do with gangs.

:09:28.:09:31.

He didn't even look back. Hd stabbed my son and ran. What type of person

:09:32.:09:35.

or monster would do something like that? Someone that he didn't even

:09:36.:09:40.

know. He just killed my son. After he was stabbed, Antoin

:09:41.:09:44.

collapsed into the arms of his close friend and business partner.

:09:45.:09:47.

To see a man like this leadhng and dying, basically, is somethhng that

:09:48.:09:50.

will never leave my memory because it's something that should never be

:09:51.:09:57.

seen from such a great man. This is Antoin's corner. I come here

:09:58.:10:01.

every evening, I like the c`ndles, and I talk to my baby. I love you

:10:02.:10:05.

baby. I really really miss xou. Antoin was engaged to Amber, his

:10:06.:10:08.

childhood sweetheart. They `lready had a son, one`year`old Akedl.

:10:09.:10:13.

He was such a proud dad, he really was, amazing... And that is the

:10:14.:10:17.

saddest part, Akeel, he'll know of his dad, but he will never know his

:10:18.:10:28.

dad. That's really sad. The latest unemployment figtres show

:10:29.:10:32.

the East Midlands is one of the few English regions bucking the national

:10:33.:10:34.

trend, with an increase in hts jobless figures. There are now

:10:35.:10:40.

163,000 people out of work. That's a rise of 14,000 on the last

:10:41.:10:43.

quarterly figures, although the region's unemployment rate of 7 is

:10:44.:10:50.

the same as the national avdrage. But these latest figures won't

:10:51.:10:54.

reflect a recent round of bhg job loss announcements in the rdgion's

:10:55.:10:56.

more traditional industries. Here's our Political Editor John Hdss. Old

:10:57.:11:10.

industries may go, but making things still matters in the East Mhdlands.

:11:11.:11:15.

There are 300,000 jobs in the region's manufacturing sector. No

:11:16.:11:21.

surprise they there, maybe. But that figure has fallen by 40% in the last

:11:22.:11:27.

25 years. 1.5 million peopld now work in the service sector. Banks,

:11:28.:11:32.

retail, leisure, hospitalitx. That has increased by 186% in thd East

:11:33.:11:39.

Midlands. Our world of work is changing.

:11:40.:11:41.

When coal dominated the reghon's economy two generations ago, the

:11:42.:11:44.

collieries of the East Midl`nds provided work for more than 60, 00

:11:45.:11:48.

people. It was a way of lifd. The closure of our last pit, Thoresby,

:11:49.:11:51.

was announced a week ago. Lhkewise, shoemaking in Leicester, bicycle

:11:52.:11:54.

making in Nottingham, textiles in Darbyshire and, till yesterday,

:11:55.:11:56.

cigarette production at Impdrial Tobacco: They are now all p`rt of

:11:57.:12:03.

the sunset industries gone or going. If the industrial landscape of the

:12:04.:12:06.

East Midlands is changing, xou see it on estates like this. New

:12:07.:12:11.

companies, smaller companies, specialising in IT, pharmacduticals

:12:12.:12:13.

and precision engineering. That s reflected in new research bx one of

:12:14.:12:16.

the country's biggest busindss organisations the D2N2 Chamber of

:12:17.:12:25.

Commerce for the East Midlands. We have got this growth in

:12:26.:12:29.

manufacturing jobs going on locally. But, yes, the world of work is

:12:30.:12:33.

changing. More people are bding self`employed, taking their own

:12:34.:12:35.

economic destiny into their own hands. More people are doing more

:12:36.:12:40.

than one job, so maybe doing several jobs, which is in some respdcts very

:12:41.:12:44.

helpful ` if there is ever ` downturn they don't actuallx lose

:12:45.:12:49.

the whole of their employment. Cue Nigel Stevenson. Having worked

:12:50.:12:52.

for an established, big`namd company, he decided to branch out on

:12:53.:12:58.

his own. Madcap? He set up his own cafe business in Kimberley,

:12:59.:13:01.

Nottingham called the Mad H`tter. He now employs seven people.

:13:02.:13:06.

I think if everybody that w`nted to open their own business within a

:13:07.:13:09.

community did that, and employed people locally, slowly the dconomy

:13:10.:13:11.

would get better, and the communities would be built. It's not

:13:12.:13:18.

just about the money, it is about the communities, and working within

:13:19.:13:26.

the communities. All my staff are local, and I love the fact that we

:13:27.:13:30.

are buying into the community and working together.

:13:31.:13:33.

The way we work, and who we work for is changing. Now here is another

:13:34.:13:40.

sign of changing economy. Think science, and you may think of

:13:41.:13:43.

Cambridge or the silicon valley But the East Midlands, now employs

:13:44.:13:51.

around 155,000 people. That is an increase of just under 80% since the

:13:52.:13:58.

late 1990s. If that rate of growth continues, forget coal, forget

:13:59.:14:01.

tobacco, we will be talking about science.

:14:02.:14:06.

A man accused of murdering ` teenager in a gang`related shooting

:14:07.:14:08.

in Derby nearly five`and`a`half years ago is facing another

:14:09.:14:11.

re`trial. Michael Hamblett`Sewell's ndxt court

:14:12.:14:14.

date could be in September `fter a jury failed to reach a verdhct

:14:15.:14:19.

earlier this month. The prosecution claim he ordered the shooting of

:14:20.:14:22.

15`year`old Kadeem Blackwood in Caxton Park in Derby in 2008,

:14:23.:14:30.

something Mr Hamblett`Sewell denies. A cricketer is to carry the

:14:31.:14:33.

Commonwealth Games relay baton on the Leicester leg of its worldwide

:14:34.:14:37.

tour. The Leicestershire all`rounder Shiv Thakor has been given the

:14:38.:14:41.

honour. He'll carry the Quedn's Baton through the city on Ttesday

:14:42.:14:45.

the 10th of June. It will h`ve visited 70 nations and terrhtories

:14:46.:14:48.

ahead of the Commonwealth G`mes in Glasgow in July.

:14:49.:14:55.

There's been a huge rise in the number of people relying on free

:14:56.:14:58.

food parcels here in the East Midlands. Today, one food b`nk

:14:59.:15:01.

charity revealed that it's feeding well over 700 people in this region

:15:02.:15:09.

every week. It's prompted a row between churches and the Government

:15:10.:15:12.

over whether it's linked to welfare reforms. Let's cross to Narborough

:15:13.:15:16.

in Leicestershire, and our social affairs correspondent Jeremx Ball.

:15:17.:15:27.

Welcome to a food warehouse which is packed with supplies for Easter

:15:28.:15:33.

lots of fruit and vegetables, big bags of pasta, and pallets stuffed

:15:34.:15:38.

full of spaghetti and breakfast cereal. They have all been donated

:15:39.:15:47.

to the charity by supermarkdts and food producers, and some of this

:15:48.:15:50.

will begin in a way to independent food banks.

:15:51.:15:52.

Today, the largest of those charities revealed that shocking new

:15:53.:15:55.

figures The Trussell Trust runs 25 food banks, here in the East

:15:56.:15:59.

Midlands. Last year, those centres handed out well over 37,000 food

:16:00.:16:03.

parcels. That's up from fewdr than 11,000 the year before ` more than a

:16:04.:16:08.

threefold increase. I've bedn out to their Coalville food bank to ask why

:16:09.:16:15.

there's so much demand. Welcome to a store where thdy hand

:16:16.:16:20.

out free bags of shopping. But this isn't open to anyone. It's `n

:16:21.:16:25.

emergency stopgap that's only for people who've been given official

:16:26.:16:27.

vouchers. Lee's been out of work for ` year.

:16:28.:16:30.

He was receiving Jobseeker's Allowance. But now his monex's been

:16:31.:16:33.

stopped for three months, under what's known as a "Benefit

:16:34.:16:41.

Sanction". I have already spent two weeks with no electric, it has made

:16:42.:16:47.

a huge difference. It is nice to know there is help out therd for

:16:48.:16:50.

people who do need it, and `re in dire straits.

:16:51.:16:58.

Lee got into such dire strahts because he missed a job`seeker's

:16:59.:17:03.

training appointment scheduled on a day when he had to go to cotrt as a

:17:04.:17:07.

witness. Others have never received any benefits, weeks after losing

:17:08.:17:11.

their jobs. Often you are told it could be three to six weeks before

:17:12.:17:17.

you get your benefits. All xou can have happen is you have an `ccident

:17:18.:17:22.

at work and you miss your bdnefits. And in Loughborough, they wdre

:17:23.:17:25.

queuing for food parcels thhs week outside another Christian charity

:17:26.:17:28.

that's seen a surge in demand. They think that's partly because there's

:17:29.:17:31.

less stigma about using food banks. But many here are desperate. And

:17:32.:17:34.

Gemma still needs their help, despite getting work s a part`time

:17:35.:17:37.

cleaner. I have two children, and it is very hard at the moment. I have a

:17:38.:17:41.

growing boy here, and he can't stop eating. You get out there, xou get a

:17:42.:17:47.

job and it is fine, but it hs a struggle at the moment. We get

:17:48.:17:54.

people who are hard`working people who unfortunately that month all the

:17:55.:17:57.

bills have come in, and there is just no much money `` no money left

:17:58.:18:02.

at the end of the month to pay for food for the kids.

:18:03.:18:04.

Today church leaders have ddscribed the increase in food parcels as

:18:05.:18:07.

"terrible". But the Governmdnt says they're not part of the bendfits

:18:08.:18:10.

system, and there isn't any robust evidence of a link with its welfare

:18:11.:18:14.

reforms. It's a row that's becoming increasingly political.

:18:15.:18:19.

Coming later ` we've had a perfect spring day.

:18:20.:18:26.

Here they supply three quarters of a million meals last year. How much

:18:27.:18:33.

difference is this making? We have seen tremendous growth in ddmand for

:18:34.:18:40.

our services, last year it came up from 40 organisations we supply to

:18:41.:18:45.

over 60. We supply to organhsations, that Cook, serve and supply food to

:18:46.:18:50.

people in need. Is there a danger that food banks create a dependence

:18:51.:18:55.

on hand`outs? That can be an issue, so our national policy is to

:18:56.:19:00.

encourage organisations to cook and serve meals, community cafes,

:19:01.:19:07.

breakfast clubs etc, so there is a social interaction of eating. Is

:19:08.:19:12.

this increased engineered or partly down to the fact that all `` more

:19:13.:19:17.

food banks are opening? I c`n understand that to a degree there is

:19:18.:19:21.

an increase in availability, but you and I know how much food prhces

:19:22.:19:25.

increase, and equally our rdnt, council tax, utility bills, so for

:19:26.:19:31.

people on the lowest income, the money they have to spend on food is

:19:32.:19:35.

getting squeezed. This is just helping people in need,

:19:36.:19:40.

it is also that might have been thrown away if it wasn't here. So it

:19:41.:19:44.

is actually preventing wastd as well.

:19:45.:19:48.

We have had a perfect spring day today.

:19:49.:19:52.

But will the blue skies strdtch into the weekend? Yes, there will be more

:19:53.:19:59.

sparkling sunshine to start the Easter break, but first, th`t is

:20:00.:20:03.

cloud to talk about. More ddtails shortly.

:20:04.:20:09.

`` there is cloud to talk about Time for the sport.

:20:10.:20:12.

First, Derby County defender Jake Buxton has won the supporters' club

:20:13.:20:16.

player of the season, and today Head Coach Steve McClaren hailed what he

:20:17.:20:18.

called Buxton's enormous contribution this campaign.

:20:19.:20:24.

The bearded Beckenbauer, as fans call him, is a real cult hero. When

:20:25.:20:30.

he signed in 2009 from Burton Albion he says no`one had heard of him and

:20:31.:20:36.

he was the sixth choice centre half. But he's defied the critics who said

:20:37.:20:39.

he couldn't cut, and this afternoon at Derby's weekly press conference

:20:40.:20:42.

the boss called him the ide`l professional. `` who said hd

:20:43.:20:50.

couldn't cut it. His perforlances have been excellent, not just that

:20:51.:20:53.

but his leadership on and off the field, in the dressing room, I run

:20:54.:20:59.

the players. He has that old school honesty that should never go out of

:21:00.:21:06.

the game. He tells it how it is great leadership.

:21:07.:21:09.

Well, the men's football se`son is nearly over, but the ladies are just

:21:10.:21:12.

getting started. Tonight a little bit of history is being madd tonight

:21:13.:21:15.

as Notts County play their first`ever game in the Women's Super

:21:16.:21:20.

League. They're taking on one of the top clubs ` Arsenal ` at Me`dow

:21:21.:21:27.

Lane. Jeremy Nicholas reports. Last season the club were known as

:21:28.:21:34.

Lincoln Ladies, but they have moved across the border into

:21:35.:21:36.

Nottinghamshire, and tonight they will run out as Notts Countx. It is

:21:37.:21:43.

a new season and franchise, all the players want to play for Notts

:21:44.:21:49.

County, they are playing for the barge, not the name on the back

:21:50.:21:53.

Therefore they have got to dnsure they are nice and relaxed, game day,

:21:54.:21:58.

but also, the reception we have had from the city and the club htself

:21:59.:22:04.

has been infectious. There has been an increase over the years hn

:22:05.:22:08.

participation in women's football, I hope it involves more to get

:22:09.:22:15.

involved. It is looking poshtive. Jess is one of the Cricketers

:22:16.:22:20.

wingers in the game. `` quickest wingers. It is great to havd a

:22:21.:22:26.

little bit of unity. We will see some of the guys around the training

:22:27.:22:30.

pitch, and they will have a word of encouragement. We have a fotr year

:22:31.:22:38.

franchise, and the chairman has brought us together because we want

:22:39.:22:41.

success. It might not come instantly, but once we gel H am sure

:22:42.:22:46.

we will be there in the mix for forthcoming seasons. They f`ce `` it

:22:47.:22:54.

is a 7:30pm kick`off, and Notts County season ticket holders get in

:22:55.:22:57.

for free. Nice sunny night to go and watch,

:22:58.:23:00.

but there's also commentary available on BBC Radio Five Live

:23:01.:23:02.

Sports Extra. Cricket, and Nottinghamshird's

:23:03.:23:05.

Director of Cricket Mick Newell was interviewed to be the new coach of

:23:06.:23:09.

England this morning. Newell is thought to be one of five n`mes in

:23:10.:23:13.

the frame to succeed Andy Flower. Finally from me tonight motor sport

:23:14.:23:17.

because it's a big weekend for Donington Park as the second round

:23:18.:23:20.

of British Touring Cars arrhves Colin Hazelden has been to the track

:23:21.:23:24.

to see the new cars, teams `nd drivers and to have a go hilself.

:23:25.:23:35.

Events like British touring cars are a key part of Donington's appeal.

:23:36.:23:39.

Motorsport fans can get closer to the action, and with motorsport

:23:40.:23:44.

worth a fortune to the region's economy, this new focus is bringing

:23:45.:23:50.

in new spectators. The sport is in great health, and the spect`tors

:23:51.:23:54.

love it when they come here. But you're right, we need more people to

:23:55.:23:58.

come. We need more people to come and see what motor racing is about.

:23:59.:24:01.

But that will be offering something different. I got lucky, but

:24:02.:24:07.

something very different indeed I am getting today a flying lap ``

:24:08.:24:14.

getting to do a flying lap. This should be something! Wish md luck,

:24:15.:24:18.

everyone. Where I enjoy the madness, H will

:24:19.:24:36.

introduce you to the driver, three times champion Matt Neal. It is

:24:37.:24:41.

great to see the reaction on people's faces. What is it like when

:24:42.:24:50.

you are doing the real thing? Do you still feel the intensity after all

:24:51.:24:54.

these years? I still get butterflies sat on the grid. The butterflies are

:24:55.:25:03.

well worth it. From the inside of a car Donington

:25:04.:25:08.

is looking in very fine neck. From what I saw of it when I was just

:25:09.:25:12.

hanging on for dear life. And there is tremendous spedds could

:25:13.:25:19.

take Neal back to the top. H do not like to get complacent, but I am

:25:20.:25:25.

hopeful. He is just one of the drivers to watch out for. W`tch out

:25:26.:25:29.

for Donington as well, it w`s back in its racing stride.

:25:30.:25:34.

Colin had that helmet on, btt you could see he had a big grin on his

:25:35.:25:37.

face. Not surprising!

:25:38.:25:40.

We saw some lovely blossom darlier, here she is now with the forecast.

:25:41.:25:43.

here she is It has been a beautiful day, and it

:25:44.:25:49.

has been perfect to be out `nd about with your camera.

:25:50.:25:54.

Thank you very much, Nicola. But there is a little bit of ch`nge on

:25:55.:25:57.

the way, we are expecting a cloudy day tomorrow, but it should be

:25:58.:26:02.

mostly dry. The UV levels whll be lowered during the day. At the

:26:03.:26:07.

moment we have some early evening sunshine around, but through the

:26:08.:26:11.

next few hours we start to see some high`level clouds filling `` feeding

:26:12.:26:15.

in from the north, probably enough to keep us frost free but there may

:26:16.:26:19.

be sunlight patchy rain into the North. Then to butchers of six

:26:20.:26:25.

Celsius. Tomorrow morning `` minimum temperatures. Tomorrow a little bit

:26:26.:26:33.

of light, patchy rain as we go into the early afternoon, but a good deal

:26:34.:26:38.

of dry weather still to be had. However the cloud will make it feel

:26:39.:26:44.

a little bit cooler tomorrow. Looking further ahead to Good

:26:45.:26:49.

Friday, then, high pressure is back in charge, so if you have enjoyed

:26:50.:26:51.

the sunshine, there is more to come on Good Friday. All spells of

:26:52.:26:55.

sunshine, dry and settled, with temperatures in the mid`teens. High

:26:56.:27:01.

holds on for Saturday, giving us another dry, sunny, subtle day. But

:27:02.:27:07.

on area of low pressure is starting to push in from east, and that will

:27:08.:27:10.

give us quite unsettled day on Sunday, and I went day. But rain

:27:11.:27:15.

looks like it is still with us as we go into Monday, into Bank Holiday

:27:16.:27:20.

Monday, it looks like it is going to be quite unsettled to end. The best

:27:21.:27:25.

part of the Easter weekend, Good Friday and Saturday, dry and sunny,

:27:26.:27:30.

but unsettled for Easter Sunday and Monday.

:27:31.:27:35.

A bank holiday of two halves then. Rain on bank holiday? That never

:27:36.:27:37.

happens! If you're going to do anythhng, do

:27:38.:27:40.

it on Friday and Saturday. Good night.
