:04:00. > :04:03.Portuguese police and police from the Metropolitan Police has been
:04:04. > :04:08.taking place in this area behind me. The site is around 15 acres. An
:04:09. > :04:14.extensive area of Scotland just outside the main central part of
:04:15. > :04:18.Praia da Luz. We can show you some pictures we filmed in the last
:04:19. > :04:21.couple of hours of quite intense activity. Police officers in
:04:22. > :04:27.forensic suits going inside the tent. We've also seen the officers
:04:28. > :04:31.taking out buckets of soil. We've also seen a sniffer dog on the area
:04:32. > :04:35.and a lot of clearing of the grassland, a lot of strimmers being
:04:36. > :04:41.used. The police were searching with their hands, shovels and through a
:04:42. > :04:52.lot of areas of bushland. What are they focusing on? What we've seen
:04:53. > :04:55.are the police identifying certain parts of this large area of ground
:04:56. > :05:00.which they are interested in. We don't know why, but they seem to be
:05:01. > :05:05.marking out certain areas. On this site behind me, the white tents have
:05:06. > :05:08.gone up, we've seen yellow evidence signs going in. The police have also
:05:09. > :05:15.been using a machine called ground radar. They pass it over the earth,
:05:16. > :05:20.essentially that enables them to be able to map out what is in the soil,
:05:21. > :05:23.if there are any anomalies. For example, if something had been
:05:24. > :05:28.buried in a part of the land behind me, it might show up. Cavities
:05:29. > :05:31.should show up. If they were to find anything of interest, then the

:06:35. > :06:38.couple were found buried in the back garden of their home in Blenheim

:06:46. > :06:49.85 at the time of his death and Mrs Wycherley was 63. In front of the
:06:50. > :06:53.jury, Mr and Mrs Edwards both pleaded not guilty to charges of
:06:54. > :06:58.murdering her parents. But earlier, before the jury was sworn in, Mrs
:06:59. > :07:01.Edwards admitted the manslaughter of her mother. The prosecution said
:07:02. > :07:07.they wanted to proceed with the murder trial. The Edwards have
:07:08. > :07:11.previously admitted two charges of obstructing the coroner by burying
:07:12. > :07:15.the bodies in the garden 15 years before they were found. They've also
:07:16. > :07:20.pleaded guilty to the theft of a credit balance from the Halifax bank

:08:16. > :08:19.which commissioned the report, says it was simply
:08:20. > :08:21.about gathering intelligence and no Derbyshire County Councillors will
:08:22. > :08:33.now have to reveal Freemason. It's been agreed that
:08:34. > :08:36.councillors will need to declare their membership of certain groups,
:08:37. > :08:39.including the freemasons. Labour say it's about transparency. The
:08:40. > :08:42.Conservatives say it's about prejudice. They've compared the
:08:43. > :08:44.situation faced by Freemasons to that experienced by ANC members in
:08:45. > :08:54.South Africa during apartheid. Next tonight,
:08:55. > :08:55.East Midlands Ambulance service, which has come under attack
:08:56. > :08:58.for failing to hit response times, has received an offer of help from
:08:59. > :09:02.health care and medical students. The students,
:09:03. > :09:04.from Nottingham and Derby, are the first in the country to operate
:09:05. > :09:06.an inner`city First Responders' scheme, volunteers trained
:09:07. > :09:26.in basic first aid who provide vital University students on the front
:09:27. > :09:31.line in Derby. First year medical students, doubts and Haran, are also
:09:32. > :09:38.first responders for the ambulance service. All packed and ready. They
:09:39. > :09:44.are among volunteers at the University of Nottingham medical
:09:45. > :09:48.School who attend 999 calls, providing vital help until trained
:09:49. > :09:51.paramedics arrived. We learn a lot of theory because we are still first
:09:52. > :09:55.years, but it's nice to get out there and see patients in the real
:09:56. > :09:58.world, see how things can progress quite quickly and being able to make
:09:59. > :10:09.a difference and do something. The initiative is one of the very first
:10:10. > :10:13.city responded teams in the country. It was started by 25`year`old
:10:14. > :10:18.Darren, who came up with the idea of medical and health care students
:10:19. > :10:22.responding. He went to East Midlands ambulance service after starting in
:10:23. > :10:27.Derby as a medical student himself. The initial response was great. The
:10:28. > :10:30.support we've had from the ambulance service, University and the students
:10:31. > :10:35.union has been fantastic. We've been to 70 or 80 calls in the five weeks
:10:36. > :10:39.we've been operational. We've seen quite a few patients. Today, more
:10:40. > :10:42.than 20 students came for an official launch of their service.
:10:43. > :10:48.They've already gone through extensive training. This is
:10:49. > :10:52.absolutely not a replacement for the full`time professional ambulance
:10:53. > :10:55.service. This is about community engagement. In those first few
:10:56. > :10:59.minutes when a patient is in need, that had a cardiac arrest or chest
:11:00. > :11:03.pain or choking, that the community first responders can get there
:11:04. > :11:06.whilst the ambulance service are deployed. It says a lot about the
:11:07. > :11:09.medical students that they are prepared to give up some of their
:11:10. > :11:22.spare time on an already busy course to try and help the community. Last
:11:23. > :11:24.week we responded to a cardiac arrest and performed resuscitation
:11:25. > :11:27.on the patient, that patient ended up surviving. It's a great feeling.
:11:28. > :11:31.If the scheme can continue to do that, that's great.
:11:32. > :11:33.A school in Leicestershire has been given thousands of poppies after
:11:34. > :11:36.its Remembrance Garden for World War One was accidentally destroyed.
:11:37. > :11:39.Locals have knitted poppies and people from across the country have
:11:40. > :11:42.sent paper versions, so the school can build a commemorative wall.
:11:43. > :11:45.The headteacher says it shows the World War I community spirit
:11:46. > :11:53.Helen Astle reports from Stoney Stanton.
:11:54. > :11:56.This school field is meant to be full of poppies, planted to create a
:11:57. > :12:01.But, by mistake, a council worker mowed the field,
:12:02. > :12:09.We've got a bit of an issue because the idea was to build
:12:10. > :12:15.The poppies had been sown earlier in the year.
:12:16. > :12:18.I was very disappointed and thought, "What are we going to do now?"
:12:19. > :12:22.I came up with the idea of "yarn bomb" of the fence with lots
:12:23. > :12:26.We were going around the playground recruiting parents to help out.
:12:27. > :12:28.People who could knit were given knitting patterns.
:12:29. > :12:30.Other parents said they couldn't knit or crochet,
:12:31. > :12:34.so they decided they would make something out of anything red we can
:12:35. > :12:38.In the classroom, pupils are still busy making poppies.
:12:39. > :12:41.We're making these poppies to show what has happened in the war.
:12:42. > :12:43.And the people that have died in the war.
:12:44. > :12:50.Originally, staff were hoping to collect around 700 poppies
:12:51. > :12:54.But as news spread about what had happened,
:12:55. > :13:04.Relatives have got involved, we've had grandmas from Swansea
:13:05. > :13:11.We've had poppies sent to us from Cheshire.
:13:12. > :13:15.People who have been on holiday and came back with poppies as well.
:13:16. > :13:17.Yes, it has definitely been a nationwide thing.
:13:18. > :13:23.We've got such a wonderful community here that in our time of adversity
:13:24. > :13:25.they've all pulled together in a real community spirit.
:13:26. > :13:32.And learning about the war has had a big impact on the children.
:13:33. > :13:36.We should always remember because people gave up their lives for us
:13:37. > :13:50.Ever since the dramatic resignation of Patrick Mercer, the people
:13:51. > :13:53.of Newark have been at the centre of a political whirlwind.
:13:54. > :13:56.But tomorrow, finally, they'll get the chance to vote for a new MP.
:13:57. > :13:59.The by`election has drawn dozens of high profile politicians to
:14:00. > :14:05.But tomorrow, to the relief of some no doubt, all canvassing must stop.
:14:06. > :14:10.Our political editor John Hess joins us.
:14:11. > :14:17.John, what's been happening on the very last day of campaigning?
:14:18. > :14:27.Today saw the final head`to`head debate between the candidates from
:14:28. > :14:32.the main parties. This was Radio Nottingham's Studios this morning,
:14:33. > :14:37.where the would`be MPs squared up for a debate. Unlike the Carl Froch
:14:38. > :14:41.fight, there was no eighth round knockout punch, more of a score
:14:42. > :14:44.draw. Fascinating all the same, with each candidate anxious to win over
:14:45. > :14:50.any of those final undecided voters. If you want to listen back to the
:14:51. > :14:54.debate, just catch up on the iPlayer. Click on the Mark Dennison
:14:55. > :15:00.show that is on the Radio Nottingham site. Signs of last`minute
:15:01. > :15:05.campaigning? I bumped into bus pass Elvis in the marketplace this
:15:06. > :15:08.morning, looking very chipper and confident. The main parties this
:15:09. > :15:13.evening will be delivering leaflets and getting their messages out. Over
:15:14. > :15:17.the next few hours, party workers will be gravitating to new work.
:15:18. > :15:19.This was the scene at Newark Northgate session, campaigners
:15:20. > :15:24.arrived from London this evening. The Prime Minister has urged
:15:25. > :15:29.conservative voters to get to Newark tonight and tomorrow, to help in the
:15:30. > :15:34.final push for votes. The Conservatives are defending a 16,000
:15:35. > :15:38.Conservative majority. Remind us when the voting starts. The polling
:15:39. > :15:43.stations open from 7am tomorrow. They will remain open until 10pm
:15:44. > :15:50.tomorrow night. Here is a reminder of all 11 candidates standing.
:15:51. > :15:58.The final result should be somewhat where between 3am and 3:30am on
:15:59. > :16:06.Friday morning. You will be up all night!
:16:07. > :16:11.No one can predict the outcome of the vote with absolute certainty. At
:16:12. > :16:15.least we know someone who can predict what the weather will be
:16:16. > :16:19.like. I can, if you are planning to vote
:16:20. > :16:23.tomorrow, the weather shouldn't stand in your way. It is said to be
:16:24. > :16:24.drier, brighter and warmer, but it's looking stormy just around the
:16:25. > :16:30.corner. This week we've been marking
:16:31. > :16:34.the centenary of the start of It was a time
:16:35. > :16:37.of great social change. And the Nottingham`based Boots
:16:38. > :16:39.company rose to the challenge of providing much needed supplies
:16:40. > :16:43.for the war effort. Jesse Boot, who founded
:16:44. > :16:46.and ran the company, was determined to play his part by turning the firm
:16:47. > :16:49.into a manufacturing powerhouse. In the archives of the Imperial War
:16:50. > :16:53.Museums we've found some film footage, believed to be the earliest
:16:54. > :16:58.moving images of the factory. I went to meet the company
:16:59. > :17:10.archivist to find out more. As with Rolls`Royce in Derby, the
:17:11. > :17:13.outbreak of war changed everything Germany had been a major exporter
:17:14. > :17:19.of pharmaceuticals. Now our medicines would be made
:17:20. > :17:25.at home. The Daily Mail saw their mass
:17:26. > :17:30.copying of German medicinal products Jesse brought a team
:17:31. > :17:34.of scientists to Nottingham. He increased his manufacturing
:17:35. > :17:36.capacity in the factory side, reconstructing the company
:17:37. > :17:39.and moving it much more towards We rose from about 9000 to
:17:40. > :17:45.around 12,000 employees over the war period,
:17:46. > :17:48.most of them here in Nottingham. Medicines, too,
:17:49. > :17:50.had to be manufactured for soldiers in the trenches, in
:17:51. > :17:54.containers small enough to be sent This tells us an awful lot
:17:55. > :18:00.about conditions in the trenches, This was one of the early responses
:18:01. > :18:08.to the war, to produce a range of products designed to give comfort
:18:09. > :18:11.to the men serving overseas. Power like this could get rid
:18:12. > :18:15.of those bugs keeping them awake And scientists at Boots created
:18:16. > :18:18.the chemicals that went into respirators, designed to protect
:18:19. > :18:23.from the horror of gas attacks. 8 million of these respirators were
:18:24. > :18:26.made at the Nottingham factory and over 900 women were trained
:18:27. > :18:30.on the production line. A slight amount of dust would give
:18:31. > :18:36.enough space for gas to come We had to run night shifts to
:18:37. > :18:44.be able to accommodate the huge It's always said the First World War
:18:45. > :18:49.really showed what women could do and that's absolutely the case,
:18:50. > :18:53.a lot of this work was really physical and women could do it
:18:54. > :18:55.as well as the men. As well as seeing the Boots logo
:18:56. > :18:58.on their vermin powder and gas masks, soldiers who'd been

:19:03. > :19:06.a magazine called Comrades In Khaki. Issues were crammed with photos,
:19:07. > :19:09.letters and news reports, providing a vital link between the troops and
:19:10. > :19:13.their loved ones back in Nottingham. This photograph in an edition
:19:14. > :19:17.of Comrades In Khaki would have been an absolute joy
:19:18. > :19:23.for Boots workers serving overseas. It shows a festive party,
:19:24. > :19:28.which happened in January of 1916. And pictured are all the wives
:19:29. > :19:33.and children they left behind. It feels like a family magazine,
:19:34. > :19:36.almost like an old school letter, the familiarity with
:19:37. > :19:40.the people writing back in and responding to pictures they've
:19:41. > :19:43.seen people they know. Jesse and Florence wrote in each

:20:41. > :20:49.a wrench leaving somewhere after 16 years, but imagine if you'd
:20:50. > :20:52.been there since you were a kid? Well, Marc Albrighton joined
:20:53. > :20:55.Aston Villa when he was just eight years old, now he's 24 and he faces
:20:56. > :20:59.a new career with Leicester City. Villa said I was getting released,

:21:10. > :21:16.here is Albrighton. And 24 now, I've got
:21:17. > :21:20.my peak ahead of me hopefully. With a bit of luck it will come off
:21:21. > :21:26.and it'll be a great move for me. Albrighton has signed
:21:27. > :21:29.a four`year deal. He is a tricky winger with
:21:30. > :21:33.England Under 20 and Under 21 caps. He troubles defenders and he's
