:00:33. > :00:36.Leicester's Golden Mile fivd years ago, a symbol of Leicester's
:00:37. > :00:42.But it's been daubed with graffiti, upsetting the charity that
:00:43. > :00:48.It's hugely disrespectful bdcause we can't see any reason for anx sort
:00:49. > :00:56.This is a cohesive communitx and we had a lot of support from everybody.
:00:57. > :00:59.The graffiti makes reference to 1984.
:01:00. > :01:02.That's when the Indian Army were ordered into the Golden Temple to

:01:17. > :01:20.Here, Leicestershire Police are investigating the vandalism.
:01:21. > :01:26.We have this before but now we are going to have a serious conversation
:01:27. > :01:30.with the authority to look `t security and safety of this area.
:01:31. > :01:34.I think we'll be looking at CCTV, more police patrols.

:01:58. > :02:10.It is a dark section of the wood and we have to deal with it frol a

:02:16. > :02:17.see, we have the roadblocks on and that is what we have been doing all
:02:18. > :02:19.night. A Leicestershire councillor says he
:02:20. > :02:22.won't give up the fight agahnst a traveller site that's stood
:02:23. > :02:25.without permission for five years. The travellers own the land
:02:26. > :02:27.at Barlestone near Hinckley, but have been ordered to le`ve,
:02:28. > :02:35.as Tom Brown reports. Tucked away in the Leicestershire
:02:36. > :02:40.countryside as a traveller site generating huge controversy. They
:02:41. > :02:44.arrived here on Good Friday back in 2009 but five years on, thex still
:02:45. > :02:49.don't have permanent planning permission. In the nearby vhllage,
:02:50. > :02:52.residents have complained of anti`social behaviour. And the local
:02:53. > :02:57.councillor has been handing out leaflets, urging people to keep
:02:58. > :03:01.fighting the site. There ard six sites in the area and they will
:03:02. > :03:06.basically come here for what they need, and while some of thel are
:03:07. > :03:10.probably fine and we probably don't even notice them, there are the ones
:03:11. > :03:14.that come in and cause us trouble. This is the only sight of those six
:03:15. > :03:19.without permanent planning permission. The traveller
:03:20. > :03:22.application was rejected by Bosworth and Hinckley Borough councils and
:03:23. > :03:26.said there would be an unacceptable increase in traffic and othdr birds
:03:27. > :03:30.affect on the countryside's appearance. The travellers have
:03:31. > :03:36.appealed and their case will now be heard in October. The vast number of
:03:37. > :03:40.travellers realise that going through the official route hs the
:03:41. > :03:44.way to do it. They don't want to upset people. In this day and age
:03:45. > :03:50.people do deserve a decent place to live. It is illegal and bec`use it
:03:51. > :03:55.hasn't got planning permisshon, if we let this one happen, we obviously
:03:56. > :03:59.going to get more. It is a war of words that has now entered hts sixth
:04:00. > :04:00.year and it will be another four months before we are any closer to a
:04:01. > :04:03.final result. A church in Derby finished ten
:04:04. > :04:06.days of non`stop prayer earlier The prayer`a`thon at
:04:07. > :04:09.Littleover Methodist Church saw parishioners sign up for an hour
:04:10. > :04:12.each, even through the night. It was to mark Pentecost
:04:13. > :04:15.and ended this morning with Let's check the weather now.
:04:16. > :04:27.Mel has our forecast. Good evening. It has been a fine day
:04:28. > :04:33.for many places but we have had one or two showers around.
:04:34. > :04:38.The cloud increases bringing the risk of one or two showers first
:04:39. > :04:43.thing on Monday but it will feel quite close, with humidity rising
:04:44. > :04:47.and overnight lows of 13. So quite a sticky day tomorrow. Lots of
:04:48. > :04:52.sunshine around, albeit hazx, but also one or two showers, whhch could
:04:53. > :04:53.be heavy and potentially thtndery. But in dry spells feeling pleasant
:04:54. > :04:55.with a high of 21. More for you later than usu`l
:04:56. > :05:12.at 10.55pm. Goodbye. Good evening. We got to 25 Celsius
:05:13. > :05:17.this afternoon. There were some heavy showers elsewhere. Low
:05:18. > :05:21.pressure to the west of the United Kingdom, anticlockwise winds around
:05:22. > :05:25.that, dragging in some warm air from the near continent. The showers will
:05:26. > :05:32.tend to fade away from Scotland and Northern Ireland overnight. Further
:05:33. > :05:37.showers drifting up. 8.00am, in the South West, it is largely fine and
:05:38. > :05:42.dry. Fairly warm, though. Could be 17 or 18 at 8.00am. So quite a warm
:05:43. > :05:46.start to the day. Maybe one or two showers in the south. A much higher
:05:47. > :05:50.chance of seeing some rain in the morning. Largely dry early on in
:05:51. > :05:53.Northern Ireland and in Scotland. We have those showers further south. We
:05:54. > :05:57.have the breeze coming up from the south, so we will see those showers
:05:58. > :05:58.drifting their way northwards into
