:01:52. > :01:58.This is a monster. It's not a man. He is not just a paedophile. He is a
:01:59. > :02:03.rapist. He is violent. He is evil. He is just a monster. During his
:02:04. > :02:08.sentence, he managed to get threatening messages to Joe. He will

:04:44. > :04:49.than ?5,000 for information leading to his arrest. This is a murder of a
:04:50. > :04:53.young man that was assassinated in a car park. It is really important
:04:54. > :04:59.that, for the benefit of people in Nottingham, but specifically
:05:00. > :05:03.McKenzie's family, we will bring everyone to justice if we possibly

:05:46. > :05:48.The reward for his arrest is a substantial of ` sum of money in

:08:15. > :08:21.at the candidates who aspired to become the next MP. Tonight, we are
:08:22. > :08:24.at Arsenal academy school and the candidates of all the main parties
:08:25. > :08:28.are there and soaring questions from members of the audience. It has been
:08:29. > :08:31.organised by the local business community and for the candidates, my

:10:02. > :10:04.on Thursday? After UKIP's Euro success, there is something of a
:10:05. > :10:08.purple haze over the East Midlands. When it's left by the time the

:10:17. > :10:18.Chris, the Chambers has been one of the organisations behind the

:10:26. > :10:31.issues, the local hospital, the railway but also some bigger issues
:10:32. > :10:38.like energy policy, the local Polish community. Why is it important that
:10:39. > :10:43.this type of event still takes place? It's good for people to come
:10:44. > :10:54.along and hear straight from the horses mouth and get cancers. It's
:10:55. > :10:58.important. ` get answers. This hustings is going on until eight

:11:53. > :11:56.48`year`old father of four was allegedly beaten to death and his
:11:57. > :11:59.body satellites nearby. It is claimed Vincent Aitken, his daughter
:12:00. > :12:05.and her partner were involved in the murder and Vincent's wife Pamela is
:12:06. > :12:08.accused of assisting an offender. Prosecution said Pamela and Barry
:12:09. > :12:13.had an argument which resulted in Pamela losing her job and Mr Smith
:12:14. > :12:17.was attacked in revenge. Last week, Nathan Dougherty claimed Vincent

:13:03. > :13:04.of the defendants deny all of the of the defendants deny all of the

:13:13. > :13:16.and District Hospital has 16 respite But the building needs almost
:13:17. > :13:21.a million pounds worth of repairs. This afternoon the local clinical
:13:22. > :13:24.commissioning group decided to shut it down and use the money saved to
:13:25. > :13:35.treat more patients in their homes. It is better for the people of our
:13:36. > :13:41.speed to get care where they needed. If we are looking at basic care that
:13:42. > :13:47.can be provided in people 's own home, we know people recover quicker
:13:48. > :13:52.at home. It allows us to focus our other resources on hospitals where

:13:58. > :13:59.a brand`new television channel. Notts TV started broadcasting

:14:40. > :14:50.make over, transforming it into a make over, transforming it into a
:14:51. > :14:54.world`class tourist attraction. Reform bill rioters stormed
:14:55. > :15:01.Nottingham Castle, torching it and getting it. Just part of its rich
:15:02. > :15:07.past. In its 1000 year history, this place has been a Norman castle, a
:15:08. > :15:14.mansion and a museum. But does it really cut it as a tourist
:15:15. > :15:20.attraction? No. I came about ten years ago and it hasn't changed a
:15:21. > :15:24.great deal. It's not as castle like as I would have imagined. They need
:15:25. > :15:29.to be more interactive elements, for the children to have a better
:15:30. > :15:34.experience. Now a Heritage lottery fund boost of ?13 million could help
:15:35. > :15:39.to transform it. It has come a long way and has come a long time to get
:15:40. > :15:48.here. It would be great for local people, for tourism and will improve
:15:49. > :15:52.the economy by ?77 million. We expect to bring 20,000 children to
:15:53. > :16:08.hear every year. They are planning to open up the caves below.

:16:15. > :16:18.Let's make it work for Nottingham. There is much to be done to secure
:16:19. > :16:24.the grant and the full ?24 million of funding. If they do, the
:16:25. > :16:36.castle's rich past could secure a prosperous future.

:17:19. > :17:21.How good does it feel to have those in your hand?
:17:22. > :17:26.The last two weeks have been amazing. The girls have done so well
:17:27. > :17:32.at the Europeans. Our junior boys have done so well. To finish it off
:17:33. > :17:37.with two Brits on the podium on Sunday in the last event, it was a
:17:38. > :17:40.great week. Let's look at the performances. We had a standout
:17:41. > :17:45.vault from you in the team competition. The highlight was the
:17:46. > :17:51.great to come back from a poor start. We had a difficult start.
:17:52. > :17:54.There were a couple of mistakes in the first two rotations. We needed
:17:55. > :18:02.to pick it up and I was happy to do that fault. I managed to stick my
:18:03. > :18:06.routine on the high bars. It got the rest of the team going. Going into
:18:07. > :18:11.the floor, we had some incredible scores, three scores over 15.
:18:12. > :18:14.Finishing off on the pommel horse, there was a world record. It was
:18:15. > :18:20.amazing to even get back into contention. Speaking of the high
:18:21. > :18:24.bar, that is your individual event. One of the favourites fell at the
:18:25. > :18:26.beginning. Did that affect you? I was trying to go out there to do my
:18:27. > :19:38.big Mike ` big routine. Football is ugly and cold
:19:39. > :19:48.sometimes. It was an insanely cruel day for Derby County and their fans.
:19:49. > :19:54.It is just heartbreaking. They played with pride and we did not
:19:55. > :20:01.deserve it. I feel physically sick. Gutted. Broken hearts. I don't know
:20:02. > :20:05.how long it'll take to get over it. 120 million and a place on match of
:20:06. > :21:44.the day snatched away with just ten until full`time.
