This is East Midlands Today. I'm Anne Davies and tonight we're live | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
here in the market town of Bingham, part of the constituency that | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
following last night's resignation of Patrick Mercer, no longer has an | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
MP. So who's in the running? Not, it seems, the controversial leader of | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
UKIP, Nigel Farage. I am not from the East Midlands and I have no | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
connections with the East Midlands. I would look like a carpetbagger. | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
In other news, Halal meat products are taken off the school menu in | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
Leicester. City Council tests revealed a lamb kebabs contained 50% | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
beef. And the world's first surgery that gave Ben they heartbeat. | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
From what it was before to a normal heartbeat. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
And we will be looking at the designs of a former Nottingham | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
students now known as the Queen of boho chic. | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
Good evening and welcome to Wednesday's programme. I am in the | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
sleepy and rather quiet market town of Bingham, a town that was voted | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
last year as the best place in the whole of the country to bring up a | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
family. Of course it is also in the Newark Parliamentary constituency, | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
that had Patrick Mercer as its MP until 24 hours ago. So who will be | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
next? There were rumours that the controversial leader of UKIP Nigel | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
Farage could be heading this way to fight out a spectacular by`election | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
but he said no. Why? We will be hearing reaction from the | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
constituency about the plans for the by`election. But first our political | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
editor is in Westminster and he looks back on a remarkable 24 hours | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
in politics. College Green, Westminster, and as soon as Patrick | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
Mercer announced this... When I have got something wrong, you have to | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
confess and get on with it. All the attention shifted to hear, 100 miles | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
away and Nigel Farage. Would he throw his UKIP hat into the ring and | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
become a candidate in the Newark by`election? This morning he snuffed | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
out the speculation. I am not going to stand in this by`election. I want | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
to focus on winning the European elections in the next three weeks. | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
Also I don't have any links with the East Midlands. I would look like an | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
opportunist and that would not work. That prompted one Patrick Mercer's | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
constituency neighbours, Ken Clarke, to weigh in. Whatever else he is, he | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
is not an idiot, so he has sensibly decided not to put himself up as the | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
candidate in Newark. I think he would be rather badly thrashed if he | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
stood there. There are sensible people in the villages and towns of | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
Newark who know perfectly well that he has not got very much to say. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
Patrick Mercer resigned after confirmation that he would be | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
suspended from the House of Commons for six months for breaking | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
Parliamentary lobbying rules. He had been filmed by undercover reporters | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
agreeing to lobby for a client in exchange for cash. That is not | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
allowed. The irony in all this? The official report and its findings | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
into Patrick Mercer's conduct is not actually published until tomorrow. | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
But he already knew its conclusions. 24 hours can be a long time in | :03:39. | :03:49. | |
politics. It can indeed. You can see that Bingham is twinned with Bavaria | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
and it was only brought into the new constituency recently. In the last | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
13 years, Patrick Mercer brought up a large and good majority for the | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Conservatives. Possibly it was that that put off Nigel the Raj deciding | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
he could overhaul it. Maybe he underestimated the level of support | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
in the constituency. Quentin Rayner reports. | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
Nigel Farage's opponents accuse him of throwing in the towel by not | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
standing. But it will be tough for UKIP to win in Newark and overturn | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
the 16,000 majority of that always `` the Tories. They would need a | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
swing of 75% and the highest they have ever achieved in a by`election | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
is 19%. But UKIP does have the support here. We want them here. | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
Everybody I know will be voting for UKIP. I will vote for UKIP because | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
of immigration in this town. We are overrun. Its popularity is really | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
good throughout the country, isn't it? He would be good for Newark. I | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
am attracted to some of the stuff he says and kind of repelled by some of | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
the other stuff. People of Newark, it is the overwhelming thinking of a | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
lot of people in England now, to be against the massive immigration that | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
we have had. That has clinched it. How much of a political barometer | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
will be imminent by`election be? I think it could be very important, | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
mainly because I don't think UKIP can win it but they could | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
potentially take enough votes away from the Conservative Party and let | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
Labour in through the middle. That could put pressure on David Cameron | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
to move further to a Eurosceptic position. The Newark market is | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
always busy but the politicians will also be setting out their stall over | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
the next few weeks. As we know, Patrick Mercer was a | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
popular MP for more than a decade but his time in the comments came to | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
an end last night in the cash for questions scandal. Navtej Johal | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
reports on the highs and lows of his political career. Patrick Mercer | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
hoped to write his name in history as a politician with purpose but the | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
rise and fall of this former military man has instead become a | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
cautionary tale. The Oxford educated son of the former Bishop of Exeter | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
served for 25 years as an army officer, including postings to | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
Northern Ireland and Bosnia. He also worked as the defence correspondent | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme. In 2001 he was elected to Newark, | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
recapturing it from Labour. After just two years he was promoted to | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
the front bench by Iain Duncan Smith as shadow minister for homeland | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
security. He was then dropped by David Cameron before the election | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
following controversial remarks he made about ethnic minorities in | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
armed forces. As Newark MP, Patrick Mercer campaigned on behalf of | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
Newark hospital and maintained a strong interest in the armed forces | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
locally. Last night, the published author decided to close the chapter | :07:06. | :07:15. | |
on his time as an MP. With a year before the next | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
election, the sudden resignation of Patrick Mercer has caught some | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
parties off guard. The Liberal Democrats have not chosen a | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
candidate. UKIP said they would pick theirs next week. Lead and the | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Tories do have candidates. We could not contact the Conservative Party | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
contact today. Labour did talk to us. They said they were not relying | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
on UKIP taking votes of the Tories to win the seat. If you talk to | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
people here, the hospital is a massive issue. People want a | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
positive future for hospital and that is what I will be campaigning | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
on. It is the Labour Party who will stand up for the NHS. Ambulance | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
times increase. Delays in Accident Emergency and an Nick Clegg and | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
David Cameron, but UKIP policy about that. `` under Nick Clegg. The real | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
question is when is the likely date of the by`election? John is in | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
Westminster. What is your gas? This is a clue. The Treasury announced | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
today that Patrick Mercer had been appointed steward and bailiff of the | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
Chiltern Hundreds, which is the historic device by which a sitting | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
MP can resign. It also clears the debt for the Parliamentary | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
by`election. `` clears the decks. My guess is a Thursday towards the end | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
of June, possibly before Parliament rises for the long summer break. But | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
I would not put any money on it. Very wise, very wise! Thank you. | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
That is just about it from all of us in Bingham. I guess it is a question | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
of watch this space. But now it is back to the studio. | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
Still to come: The blood scare affecting students in Derby. | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
Hundreds have been told they're at risk of infection after a health | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
worker reused syringes. We'll also meet a teenager who owes | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
his life to advances in keyhole surgery. | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
And Anna's got the weather outlook. Yes, with the bank holiday weekend | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
creeping up on us, the big question is whether it will be dry and fine. | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
I will have the answer shortly. Halal meat has been taken off the | :09:24. | :09:37. | |
menu at all of Leicester's schools after another food scare. Tests | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
showed a halal lamb kebab contained more than 50 percent beef. Last year | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
it was discovered halal lamb burgers contained pork DNA. Mike O'Sullivan | :09:47. | :09:47. | |
reports. Dinner time at this Leicester | :09:48. | :10:01. | |
primary school but now halal meat is off the menu at all schools in the | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
city. Tests carried out by the City Council showed that her la Lamb | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
kebabs work containing more than 50% beef, this second halal scare in a | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
year. Parents are upset. I have lost my trust in all the people providing | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
halal to schools. It will be disappointing if they can't bring it | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
back in the near future. That would be better for kids. It is one of | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
nine primary schools known to have served up the suspect kebabs and as | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
a result the City Council has withdrawn halal meat from the menu | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
at every school in the city. It is certainly concerning an equally | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
disappointing. This is the second incident that has occurred with | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
halal meat meals in Leicester's schools in the last year. Punjab | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
Kitchen that supplied the meals is based in South Shields. They say | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
they are entirely innocent because they did not manufacture the kebabs. | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
They have contacted their own supplier, who are in turn working | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
with trading standards officers in Yorkshire. In this individual case, | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
I know there is sometimes a dispute about what can be in a kebabs and | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
whether it should be lamb or beef. In this case, if it was labelled as | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
lamb and it was not, that is very serious. I can understand the | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
decision the local authority have taken in this case. The council says | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
further investigation is needed. Last year in a separate affair, | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
halal lamb burgers were said to contain pork DNA. The council is | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
considering taking legal action in that matter. | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
Prosecutors are considering evidence against a former Leicester MP as | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
part of an inquiry into historic child abuse. Lord Janner hasn't been | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
arrested but officers from Leicestershire Police are taking | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
advice from the Crown Prosecution Service on moving the investigation | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
forward. Officers raided his London home four months ago. Greville | :11:57. | :12:04. | |
Janner was a Labour MP for 27 years in Leicester North West and then | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
Leicester West. Flights have returned to normal at | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
East Midlands Airport today after a cargo plane was left stranded on the | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
runway. The aircraft was finally moved last night and is currently in | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
a hangar on site. It became stranded early yesterday morning after its | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
landing gear failed. Dozens of flights were cancelled, affecting | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
thousands of passengers. A telephone helpline has been | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
inundated with calls from worried students after they were told they'd | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
been put at risk of infection. A health care worker's been suspended | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
after it emerged they'd reused syringes for blood tests and | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
vaccinations. From Derby, Simon Hare reports. | :12:44. | :12:53. | |
Totally inappropriate and unacceptable. The medical director | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
for NHS England in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire explains the dangers | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
of reusing syringes and not just needles. There is a potential of | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
body fluid from the patient that you have just vaccinated in the very far | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
end of that syringe. Then you are injecting it into the next person. | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
It is very clear that there was a risky set of circumstances arising | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
from the actions of this particular health worker and that we would need | :13:21. | :13:28. | |
to take action straightaway. More than 600 students at the University | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
of Derby, past and present, had been seen by the worker. They have been | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
contacted and been urged to tested for infections like hepatitis and | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
HIV. A helpline has been set up at the University. It has been very | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
brisk. A lot of students are contacted us already and that is | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
ready helpful, just what we want. Professional experts are on hand to | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
give the advice required. It is not what you expect to happen when you | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
are on a nursing course having vaccinations so that you can go into | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
practice yourself. You don't expect it. It is extremely worrying. That | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
particular student told me that today she was going for a blood test | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
to determine if she has picked up any kind of infection, and a similar | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
anxious wait is faced by hundreds of others. | :14:22. | :14:29. | |
Now on a happier note, news of a pioneering surgical procedure that | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
saved the life of a teenager from East Leake. Ben O'Neill was born | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
with four serious heart defects. But a team at Leicester's Glenfield | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
Hospital used complex keyhole surgery to cure his condition. Helen | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
Astle reports. Like most 14`year`olds, Ben enjoys | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
playing with his brother, but Ben, who was born with serious heart | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
defects, is now able to play without getting breathless thanks to | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
pioneering surgery at the Glenfield Hospital. Straightaway I noticed my | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
heartbeat had changed from what it was before, which was like a | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
washing, into a normal heartbeat, boom boom. After that, I noticed | :15:09. | :15:17. | |
sport became easier. Ben underwent five hours of keyhole surgery, the | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
fourth operation on his heart. Lady has done this before. Enlarging a | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
tube between the heart and the lungs, when there is a coronary | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
artery behind it. To give you some idea of the complexity, we had about | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
30 people in the room and we were coordinating the procedure. It gives | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
Ben a normal life expectancy, which he did not have before the operation | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
in March, so he can now live a full and long life and do all the things | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
that he dreams of and that we dream of him doing. For us, it just takes | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
away 14 and a half years of worry, because we knew the day he was born | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
that he had a problem and that has now gone. Ben will need to have the | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
valve replaced in ten years' time but for now, at last, he is enjoying | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
an active life. Great news for Ben and his family. | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
Still to come: In sport, the players featuring on Derby County's wish | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
list. We've been talking to Rams chief executive Sam Rush. | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
And who ate all the pies? For once, not me but the 108 judges here at | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
the British Pie Awards of Melton Mowbray. | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
From Hollywood stars to Broadway shows the fashion designer Marian | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
Clayden sprang to fame in America in the 70s. Described as the Queen of | :16:40. | :16:48. | |
boho chic, her career spans decades. But it all began in Nottingham, and | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
now there's a special exhibition of her creations, as Geeta Pendse | :16:52. | :17:01. | |
reports. Capturing the bohemian spirit of the | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
late 60s and 70s, the British designer Marian Clayden's works were | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
in vogue after she produced textiles for the Broadway musical Hair. She | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
went on to become a sought`after design in America. But some of her | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
early inspirations came as a student at Nottingham School of Art in the | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
1950s. It is now part of Nottingham Trent University and that is why | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
they have gathered 60 of their works to celebrate her journey from | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
student to innovator of boho chic. Marian's rollers that she is the | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
person really in a very singular way who was so instrumental in creating | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
the hippy style and the sophisticated tie`dye, doing the | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
shows for here, but then to have that ability, that facility with the | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
dying, and made it more and more sophisticated. A textile designs | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
evolved as during the 80s and 90s, have fits were worn by Hollywood | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
stars ranging from Elizabeth Taylor to Whitney Houston. `` her outfits. | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
You would hear someone saying she is wearing Marian Clayden! They are so | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
generous to women, so beautiful and the fabric is just so sensuous. | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
There is no scrimping. Beautiful, weighty, draping, flowing fabric. | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
Marian now lives in California and is unable to travel because of ill | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
health. Mary says that the chance to share her work with students in | :18:33. | :18:42. | |
Nottingham is a dream come true. Time now for sport and a lady who | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
was not born in the 60s and barely remembers the 1970s. Just a twinkle | :18:49. | :19:03. | |
in my mother's I? First, Sam Rush has told us he would like his club | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
to sign up Andre Wisdom, Patrick Bamford and George Thorne in the | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
summer, or players of their calibre. We have been speaking to him. To | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
chart the rise of the Rams, we took the men who run the club to the | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
highest point in Derbyshire. In the last 15 months, Sam Rush and | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
John Vickers have restructured Derby on and off the field. They have gone | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
from 14th to third and they are in the play`offs. The ascent has been | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
so quick. I know that we cannot think of a comparison. I cannot | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
think of many scenarios equal to Derby. That is nice, really. And | :19:39. | :19:46. | |
when you consider there has only been one signing, that Steve has | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
only asked for one signing. Steve has done it his own way. There have | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
been good quality players but just one signing, that is a phenomenal | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
story. It is. What about signing players like George Thorne and Andre | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
Wisdom. Can Derby do that in the summer? We would like to. Whether it | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
is them or players off their calibre, we will look at acquiring | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
players that are on a level with the players that we see already. Man | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
tour is one of the most rheumatic viewpoints in the Peak District, so | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
Pertwee and Derby climbed to the top? `` so can the we climb? I am | :20:31. | :20:42. | |
hugely excited and I cannot wait for the coming weeks. We're nearly at | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
the top. How would it feel if Derby reached the top and get to the | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
Premier League? Absolutely huge for the football club, the city of | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
Derby, and the County of Derbyshire. So much was always right about Derby | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
and it is a club that means so much to the city. Fantastic facilities, | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
great crowds, great fan base. We have 25,000 this year, which is a | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
fantastic number. If you are celebrating at the end of May, will | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
you come back up here with us in better weather? We will check the | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
weather forecast beforehand! I think we have only just tried out! | :21:22. | :21:40. | |
Onto Nottingham Forest who have handed young midfielder Ben Osborne | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
a big new deal. The 19 year old's agreed a five`year contract having | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
only made his first team debut at the end of March. | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
Staying with football but in the non`league. Alfreton Town have just | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
had their best season ever but today it was revealed they have been put | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
up for sale. The club have had a remarkable journey over recent years | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
from the Northern Counties East League to the Conference. This | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
season they narrowly missed out on the play`offs. But they've struggled | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
with low attendances and Chairman Wayne Bradley says they need a fresh | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
injection of finances to progress. In cricket, two matches finishing | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
the County championship today. Heavy defeat the Derbyshire with | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
Worcestershire beating them by an innings and 64 runs. A tense finish | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
at the Leicestershire match but in the end they had to settle for a | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
draw against Glamorgan. And well done to the Jester from | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
Leicester Mark Selby. He's made it through to the semi`finals of the | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
World Snooker Championship. That is all the sport. Thank you. | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
Now, it's been around for at least 700 years and it's still as popular | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
as ever. What am I talking about? The humble pie! In fact we Brits eat | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
?1 billion worth of pies every year, and today the very best of them from | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
all over the UK were being judged at the British Pie Awards where else | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
but in Melton Mowbray? We sent James Roberson to sniff out some winners. | :23:01. | :23:09. | |
Pennies? No, pies from heaven. A sea of them inside the parish church in | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
Melton Mowbray, arguably the spiritual home of British pies. And | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
what a choice. Fruit pies, pasties, chicken, and pork pies of course. | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
We'd ?1 billion worth of pies in Britain and they are stable and we | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
eat more than any other country and we have celebrated that at these | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
awards. 800 pies are being judged by 100 judges. This TV judge was | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
tasting the fit for a hero category to celebrate the World War I | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
centenary. The pigeon from World War I saved hundreds of lives. They | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
looked at what ingredients they could get hold of well`being in the | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
field. We have beefburger in young, sweet onion and goats cheese as | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
well. Hundreds of years ago, the poor used to eat intestines, or | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
humbles, hence the expression humble pie. Is it mundane? There is nothing | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
mundane about it because the pie is at the heart of British cooking | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
history. I love it. And the winners are not the makers but the pies | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
themselves. In the fine tradition of regional | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
news, he brought some back. The first`ever convenience food because | :24:40. | :24:41. | |
you could hold the pork pie on one hand while riding your horse. We | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
have not got a horse, obviously! You have one minute 30 and four pieces | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
there. Make sure you remove the evidence afterwards! You might need | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
comfort food on Friday because things are set to get cold, but by | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
Monday you will be eating ice cream again. Thank you for this photograph | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
by Colin of the bumblebee. More hay fever sufferers, I suspect. We have | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
some showers around this evening, sometimes heavily in nature. They | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
will clear away over the next few hours and then it is dry overnight | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
with some clear skies. Some mist and fog forming in the Peak District. | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
Some showers developing towards dawn, pushing in from the West. A | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
mild night with low temperatures of 10 degrees. Tomorrow morning is dry | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
but some showers as we go through into the afternoon. As we head into | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
the late afternoon, the showers become widespread and there is a | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
risk of them becoming heavy at times. Something to watch out for | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
during the rush hour on Thursday. Temperatures not doing too bad | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
tomorrow with a high of 14 degrees. All change on Friday. A cold front | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
moves South with some rain. That will introduce colder are behind | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
it, so feeling quite chilly on Friday. Also it brings the return of | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
frost. Bedding plants beware. Friday into Saturday, the chance of a frost | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
but largely dry with sunny spells for the rest of the bank holiday | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
weekend. Thank you. As you can see, I have been restrained because I am | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
counting the calories. I count thousands every day! I will be back | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
with the late news and I hope you can join us | :26:32. | :26:50. | |
Some people don't think real change in Europe is possible. | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
Some people don't think real change is necessary. | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
Some people don't think it's worth fighting for. | :26:59. | :27:03. |
