:00:00. > 3:59:59Inevitable, I suppose. That's all from the News at Six. Goodbye from
:00:00. > :00:18.me. On Police say the growers are changing
:00:19. > :00:23.tactics with multiple smalldr scale operations. They are having
:00:24. > :00:30.multiple, smaller grows throughout communities, all at addressds rented
:00:31. > :00:34.by themselves. And this drug only became illegal today, but whll its
:00:35. > :00:38.people using khat? Also tonight, the hospital hoping
:00:39. > :00:44.its plans for a helipad really take off.
:00:45. > :00:48.And World Cup whizz kid Diego' diction for tonight's England game.
:00:49. > :00:56.I think England are going to win 2`1.
:00:57. > :01:02.First tonight, a new crackdown on homegrown drugs.
:01:03. > :01:06.East Midlands Today can revdal that Nottinghamshire Police have set up
:01:07. > :01:11.the region's first specialist team to tackle cannabis gangs.
:01:12. > :01:13.The force has told us that it's seizing around 50
:01:14. > :01:18.This exclusive report from our social affairs
:01:19. > :01:35.Searching for illegal cannabis growers has become a full`thme job,
:01:36. > :01:38.with the tell`tale pungent smell bringing the police to this House.
:01:39. > :01:41.They did not need to force their way in because the tenant was ott and
:01:42. > :01:46.the door was unlocked. Downstairs they found a typical family home,
:01:47. > :01:52.littered with toys and photos. In the bedroom, a different story. As
:01:53. > :01:57.you go up the stairs, the slell gets stronger and stronger. You can see
:01:58. > :02:04.why. This is a growing tent, several cannabis plants inside, alrdady
:02:05. > :02:08.harvested and hanging out to dry. But finding cannabis is just the
:02:09. > :02:12.start, the police have to prove that dogs are being sold. That is where
:02:13. > :02:17.Nottinghamshire's new cannabis dismantling team comes in, team of
:02:18. > :02:20.experts to gather evidence `nd free up local officers. Because we deal
:02:21. > :02:25.with it on a daily basis, wd know what we need to seize and the whole
:02:26. > :02:32.process will be great we reduce in time. It's a cost saving. Police
:02:33. > :02:35.used to find cannabis being grown in large factories, these days, the
:02:36. > :02:40.drug is becoming harder to find with gangs becoming more
:02:41. > :02:45.sophisticated. Organised gangs are approaching people in residdntial
:02:46. > :02:51.areas, and they are having lultiple small grows throughout commtnities.
:02:52. > :02:56.Or renting addresses themselves So if they do lose one or two of those
:02:57. > :02:59.grows, they do not lose all of the crop. There are disagreements about
:03:00. > :03:03.the damage cannabis causes, but by the police, it is simple. It is
:03:04. > :03:06.illegal and growers who get caught can end up in jail.
:03:07. > :03:10.This new team came into operation on the day another drug has bedn
:03:11. > :03:18.Khat acts as a stimulant and is very popular amongst Somalis.
:03:19. > :03:21.The ban has been welcomed by the Somali community in
:03:22. > :03:25.Leicester, which has itself pushed for the drug to be made illdgal
:03:26. > :03:33.Here's our chief news reporter, Quentin Rayner.
:03:34. > :03:40.Imported from Africa, khat hs a legal plant which when chewdd, acts
:03:41. > :03:46.like a less powerful amphet`mine. You ticket, you are very happy. It
:03:47. > :03:54.makes you happy. Can you im`gine someone who doesn't eat for three
:03:55. > :04:02.days? Who is talking, 24 hotrs. It is made! I have lost five children
:04:03. > :04:18.and a beautiful wife. Due to this khat. Gentleman, from today, khat is
:04:19. > :04:23.illegal. It is not at least a third of the Somali community use khat,
:04:24. > :04:27.including women. I welcome ht very much, the community welcomes the
:04:28. > :04:30.ban, it has a huge impact on our community, including familids and
:04:31. > :04:35.children. It has serious consequences financially, socially
:04:36. > :04:43.and culturally. Criminalising khat is a bit like banning smoking. There
:04:44. > :04:50.will be a response rating, `nd potentially prosecution. Ophnion is
:04:51. > :04:54.divided about the health risks. The Home Affairs Select Committde
:04:55. > :04:58.opposed the ban, because it believes there is insufficient evidence of a
:04:59. > :05:03.direct link between its use and psychosis. Are conveniences is that
:05:04. > :05:07.it can cause mental illness in people. The main things are, in high
:05:08. > :05:14.doses it can cause psychosis, and when you stop taking it, it can
:05:15. > :05:15.cause depressive illness. It is hoped Somalis will ensure the ban is
:05:16. > :05:18.effective. Earlier I spoke to Danny Kushlik of
:05:19. > :05:21.Transform, a charitable think`tank that campaigns for the legal
:05:22. > :05:23.regulation of drugs. I asked him what he thought about the ddcision
:05:24. > :05:36.to ban khat. Actually, it has been banned for no
:05:37. > :05:41.good reason. Clearly, khat does cause problems for some people. But
:05:42. > :05:46.its prohibition will only ptsh users who continue to use underground and
:05:47. > :05:51.will give the trade to a regulated dealers and organised criminals It
:05:52. > :05:56.does not help anybody. We spoke to a former khat user who spoke of how it
:05:57. > :06:03.ruined his life, surely by laking it illegal, it sends a strong lessage
:06:04. > :06:06.to users? Simply, if we devdloped public policy for alcohol on the
:06:07. > :06:10.basis of what alcoholics told us, we might well move to ban it, but where
:06:11. > :06:15.are we to do that, we would begin the same as what happened in the
:06:16. > :06:21.alcohol prohibition in the TS between 1920 and 1933. It m`de it
:06:22. > :06:24.very dirty and dangerous. So, the answer is to control it and
:06:25. > :06:29.regulated and look after usdrs through the health system. We were
:06:30. > :06:33.also speaking about the fact that once a week, there is a cannabis
:06:34. > :06:38.raid in our region. Clearly, a big problem. How would you deal with
:06:39. > :06:42.that? Illegal cannabis crops are a product of prohibition in the same
:06:43. > :06:48.way that illegal alcohol sthlls were. The way to deal with them is
:06:49. > :06:54.to stop them happening at all, the legally regulate cannabis through
:06:55. > :06:59.licensed retailers and for the government to take control. It takes
:07:00. > :07:03.the unknown `` unregulated dealers out of business. So, we shotld
:07:04. > :07:09.decriminalise all drugs? Government should take control of prodtction,
:07:10. > :07:12.supply, of all drugs, that can potentially cause harm. We do not
:07:13. > :07:13.want them in the hands of paramilitaries and organised
:07:14. > :07:15.criminals. A double decker bus hit a r`ilway
:07:16. > :07:18.bridge in Leicestershire earlier, disrupting rail services and
:07:19. > :07:22.blocking traffic during rush hour. It happened in Sileby
:07:23. > :07:24.near Loughborough just These photographs were taken

:07:30. > :07:31.there were no passengers It's understood it was on its way to
:07:32. > :07:52.collect schoolchildren from another I heard a big bang, and I c`me out
:07:53. > :07:58.of the door and there is thd bus, just under the bridge. We dhd not
:07:59. > :08:04.know if anyone was on it. Wd were really scared. The noise of it as
:08:05. > :08:08.well, it was terrifying. Thdre was a bang and everyone came runnhng out,
:08:09. > :08:11.it was stuck right in the mhddle, right underneath.
:08:12. > :08:13.Tributes have been paid to a fighter who died

:11:20. > :12:58.although there was a verbal interchange, that was no excuse for

:13:04. > :13:08.visit on a Saturday night, they are watching TV, having a wonderful
:13:09. > :13:09.time. To expect him to go somewhere else and get used to a whold new way
:13:10. > :17:49.of living without all his friends, the moment, still? We will find out.
:17:50. > :17:57.Diego, what was your prediction 2`1 to England. It could be a bht of a
:17:58. > :18:02.quickfire finish! But you love your football? Yes. We filmed with you at
:18:03. > :18:06.a Brazilian football club that you belong to, what is it you lhke about
:18:07. > :18:13.the game? At Italy the Brazhlian style. I like learning new stuff. ``
:18:14. > :18:20.particularly the bronzed `` the Brazilian style. You are very good
:18:21. > :18:25.with the ball. All that fancy stuff. They teach you skills, how to
:18:26. > :18:30.dribble and how to shoot. You are very good at it. As we can see from
:18:31. > :18:40.these pictures. How long have you been playing football? I don't know
:18:41. > :18:45.exactly. About two years. As a whole has been made about football? About
:18:46. > :18:52.the last three years. He has come to enjoy it more. He is getting more
:18:53. > :18:58.experience and learning how to deal with the ball, he thinks he is a pro
:18:59. > :19:01.now! He did say England werd a bit rubbish and they have not rdally
:19:02. > :19:09.delivered for us, so which teams do you like at the moment? Brazil, and
:19:10. > :19:14.Argentina. Is that because of the style of football they play?
:19:15. > :19:21.Well... It is more exciting. What should be done about England being
:19:22. > :19:26.so rubbish? Should they comd to your training school? You could probably
:19:27. > :19:31.teach them a thing or two. @re there any other brothers and sistdrs who
:19:32. > :19:36.are made on football? No, hd is an only child. I take it you would like
:19:37. > :19:44.to play for England? Could xou change it? Yes. Thank you so much
:19:45. > :19:54.for coming in. The game has finished now, it is a goalless draw. Never
:19:55. > :20:03.mind! Thanks for coming in. It is not just football that is ilported,
:20:04. > :20:08.there is Wimbledon. Doesn't it look beautiful down
:20:09. > :20:12.here? But we really do want to talk about tennis because we are in for
:20:13. > :20:15.quite a fortnight. Not just nationally, but in the East Midlands
:20:16. > :20:20.as well, just lend Ray going in the doubles, fantastic, yesterd`y, a
:20:21. > :20:24.host of juniors next week, ` lot of them have a decent chance and we
:20:25. > :20:29.will follow all of them. But today was about Dan Smethurst, since he
:20:30. > :20:33.moved to Nottingham, he has done extraordinary things with hhs
:20:34. > :20:40.career. His ranking has gond from 400 all the way to under 250, sheer
:20:41. > :20:44.determination and guts. That was enough to get a wild card hdre at
:20:45. > :20:49.Wimbledon into the first rotnd. A pretty unkind draw meant he was up
:20:50. > :20:53.against John Izmir, but Dan can be really proud of what he had done,
:20:54. > :20:57.beaten but never disgrace, `nd sometimes playing really gorgeous
:20:58. > :21:06.tennis. In the end, the powdrful service overwhelmed Dan and it
:21:07. > :21:07.finished with the American winning. But there is still stuff here to
:21:08. > :21:12.work on. Well, while we dream of mord British
:21:13. > :21:15.success on the courts here, England's dreams of World Ctp
:21:16. > :21:18.success are long gone. The game just finishing
:21:19. > :21:19.against Costa Rica So, why was the tournament such
:21:20. > :21:23.a failure for England? Kirsty Edwards has been to
:21:24. > :21:43.Loughborough University, The hopes of a nation left hn
:21:44. > :21:49.tatters. The postmortem alrdady underway. Just what went wrong for
:21:50. > :21:58.England? For those involved in sports psychology, it is all in the
:21:59. > :22:01.mind. At a high level of sport, it is often the psychological side that
:22:02. > :22:04.is the distinction factor bdtween those that achieved at the highest
:22:05. > :22:07.level and those that do not quite make it, because of the pressure,
:22:08. > :22:11.these athletes are there because they are the best in the world. It
:22:12. > :22:18.equalises things, they all become fairly equal because `` technically.
:22:19. > :22:23.It is who can deal with the pressure that succeeds. Damn `` Roy Hodgson
:22:24. > :22:28.but in a top psychologist jtst before the tournament but it was far
:22:29. > :22:31.too late. We are seeing that psychologists who are involved
:22:32. > :22:37.around the clock the whole xear as part of the preparation, yot would
:22:38. > :22:43.never leave physical prepar`tion to the last minute so why would you do
:22:44. > :22:46.that the psychology? England's stars were left devastated by thehr early
:22:47. > :22:51.exit and it has the potenti`l to break these players, but it could be
:22:52. > :22:54.the making of them. We have done studies of Olympic gold med`llists
:22:55. > :22:59.and we found that for a lot of these athletes, have had, Dick experiences
:23:00. > :23:03.early in their career and often they reflect on these and s`y they
:23:04. > :23:07.were turning points in their lives, when they became single`minded and
:23:08. > :23:12.motivated to achieve at the highest level. So it can be done, you can
:23:13. > :23:18.turn this major adversity into a real springboard to further success.
:23:19. > :23:24.That is one picture of wherd England might be going wrong.
:23:25. > :23:28.One man with half a clue wh`t the England team are going through
:23:29. > :23:31.Tomorrow he starts his pre`season with the Rams.
:23:32. > :23:36.Today he's been here at Wimbledon, indulging his other passion.
:23:37. > :23:41.The crowds flocking here and Steve McCarren loves being in amongst
:23:42. > :23:46.them. He has played the gamd of tennis and scenes in great latches
:23:47. > :23:51.on these courts. I have alw`ys loved tennis and coming here, it hs
:23:52. > :23:55.special, it is a British tr`dition. To come here, this is my thhrd time,
:23:56. > :23:59.and this time the weather is very good. You could forgive him for
:24:00. > :24:04.being distracted by events on the other side of the world. He has been
:24:05. > :24:08.part of three major tournamdnts with England, even he found the speed of
:24:09. > :24:11.their destruction this time in Brazil startling. I think it is
:24:12. > :24:18.trying to adapt to how the game is going. Quite rightly, we ard trying
:24:19. > :24:22.to adapt with these younger players, expanding the game more. Th`t has
:24:23. > :24:26.left us vulnerable at the b`ck. If you do not defend well, you do not
:24:27. > :24:31.win games. The grass tomorrow will have a different character, but
:24:32. > :24:35.Steve's staff should not be surprised if what he has sedn at
:24:36. > :24:39.Wimbledon makes its way to the training pitch tomorrow. Thdy are
:24:40. > :24:43.individuals and that is where we can learn from tennis because it is very
:24:44. > :24:49.much a selfish sport, you h`ve to concentrate on yourself. Yot have to
:24:50. > :24:52.do it yourself. You have to have great self belief and motiv`tion,
:24:53. > :24:58.inspiration. That comes frol within. But now, Steve McCarron shotld be
:24:59. > :25:01.grateful he just has to watch sporting stars. `` Steve McClaren.
:25:02. > :25:03.Back here at Wimbledon, Dan Smethurst will be reflecting
:25:04. > :25:07.on a brave first appearance at the Championships.
:25:08. > :25:12.You mentioned a very busy fortnight, who else should we be looking out
:25:13. > :25:19.for? Next week we have the likes of Freya
:25:20. > :25:22.Christie, who is going in the juniors. It can be a springboard to
:25:23. > :25:29.success here at Wimbledon. We will be watching her closely. Thdre is
:25:30. > :25:33.the genuine chance, Freya Christie beat the world number seven just
:25:34. > :25:41.over the road. In case you `re wondering where you had heard the
:25:42. > :26:30.name John Isner, showery outbreak. That front will
:26:31. > :26:35.continue to move South tonight, taking the rain with it, so it will
:26:36. > :26:38.dry up again. It will introduce a lot cooler and fresher air or
:26:39. > :26:43.tomorrow. Once again, dry for much of the day with brightness `nd
:26:44. > :26:51.sunshine. But you will notice the difference in terms of how ht feels
:26:52. > :26:54.tomorrow, mid to high teens. So the cool and fresher air will bd coming
:26:55. > :26:59.through tonight, the weather front will be sinking South, that will
:27:00. > :27:03.take the showers with it. Some clear spells, but light winds and
:27:04. > :27:08.temperatures will take it `` will take a tumble. Into single figures
:27:09. > :27:12.in some places. Baby around ten or 11 in the town centres. The moral
:27:13. > :27:17.morning, starting off dry and write with sunshine around. `` tolorrow
:27:18. > :27:20.morning. Cloud building into the afternoon. It will stay dry and
:27:21. > :27:27.bright throughout the day. Temperatures 17 or 18. And ht stays
:27:28. > :27:31.quite cool as the going to be end of the week, finally the rain will
:27:32. > :27:38.catch up with us on Friday, staying cooler and showery for the weekend.
:27:39. > :27:43.I will be back at a slightlx later time of 11.35 tonight.
:27:44. > :28:01.See you later. Catch the late-afternoon games
:28:02. > :28:27.on the go.
