:02:33. > :02:35.for months. He had also been the prime suspect any street robbery,

:20:00. > :20:06.just a few weeks ago. Natalhe Jackson reports.
:20:07. > :20:09.This, the moment Ben Birchall was fired out of his bike at 120 mph. We
:20:10. > :20:13.both got thrown off the thing and ended up in a big heap. One each
:20:14. > :20:17.side of the road. You don't have to think very hard or for a very long
:20:18. > :20:20.about what's involved with that race and what could have bedn.
:20:21. > :20:22.Brothers Ben and Tom from Mansfield were leading the race at
:20:23. > :20:29.of June at the Isle of Man TT when the crash happened. The first
:20:30. > :20:34.my mind is, where is Tom? And I could see that he was, therd was a
:20:35. > :20:37.bit of movement there, and he was making some noises, so... That was
:20:38. > :20:41.good enough. And then when Ben went to see Mark Eaton, the spechalist
:20:42. > :20:46.there, in Wigan, well he got on a level with Ben, I think, and said, I
:20:47. > :20:50.realise what you want to be doing, you want to be racing, but we need
:20:51. > :20:55.time to put it right. For what he has done, Mark Eaton is incredible,
:20:56. > :20:59.really. Some of the stories Ben s told us after, what he to gdt into
:21:00. > :21:03.his head, that he possibly could lose the power of his hand. It took
:21:04. > :21:06.a bit of revaluation that d`y, it gives you a bit of a slap in the
:21:07. > :21:09.face. This is it, and it cotld have been a lot worse.
:21:10. > :21:13.really race again, but astonishingly, tomorrow, he and Tom
:21:14. > :21:18.are back out on the track at the world Sidecar Championships in the
:21:19. > :21:21.Netherlands. I can certainlx ride, as to what level, we will fhnd out
:21:22. > :21:25.when we get there, but a bit of red mist about that, I'm sure. We will
:21:26. > :21:28.give it 110%. I'll tell you that, but we'll see what the points are
:21:29. > :21:32.like, you know, it is a long year, anything could happen. We h`ve
:21:33. > :21:35.already proved that. We will be trying. We will be trying otr best.
:21:36. > :21:39.Well, after all, they are two of the best in the world. Natalie Jackson,
:21:40. > :21:55.Back here at the school gamds, the matches are still going on. I have
:21:56. > :21:59.two things to mention to yot. Follow the cricket action on the BBC sport
:22:00. > :22:03.website, and a huge well done to Jocelyn Rae, who won mixed doubles
:22:04. > :22:07.gold in the column of games. Now they have got to the first round of
:22:08. > :22:12.Wimbledon. So well done to them Let's talk to the young people
:22:13. > :22:16.you're been taking part tod`y. You had been playing basketball, has it
:22:17. > :22:19.been fun? I have really enjoyed myself, especially with all my
:22:20. > :22:26.friends, it has been an amazing experience. Is this really
:22:27. > :22:32.competitive? Yes, it is really nerve wracking. Well done. Whatevdr you're
:22:33. > :22:45.doing for the summer of sport, enjoy it too. That was a quality cheer.
:22:46. > :22:52.Finally tonight, he made a fortune from mobile phones and
:22:53. > :22:54.the trappings of success. D`vid Ross, the former Carphone W`rehouse
:22:55. > :22:57.tycoon, is a noted philanthropist whose roots, he says, are fhrmly in
:22:58. > :23:00.the East Midlands. For one week a year he opens up his countrx mansion
:23:01. > :23:03.in Leicestershire to host a lavish opera production. And today he
:23:04. > :23:13.allowed us a very rare glimpse behind the scenes at his hole.
:23:14. > :23:17.For one week a year, the sound of opera fills thd air
:23:18. > :23:21.at this spectacular country mansion in Leicestershire.
:23:22. > :23:27.Carphone Warehouse entrepreneur David Ross opens his grounds
:23:28. > :23:31.So it was opening night last night, how did it go?
:23:32. > :23:35.think it was a triumph. It `ll went very well and I think the
:23:36. > :23:38.audience... All the feedback I got was that it was the best show we
:23:39. > :23:41.have ever had here. We've still got three more nights of La Boheme,
:23:42. > :23:44.and then we've got two nights of Turn Of The Screw.
:23:45. > :23:47.And your son is in this production. What is it like watching, when
:23:48. > :23:50.you're watching as a dad as well? Just to realise what it is hnvolved
:23:51. > :23:54.and I'm delighted he's enjoxing it. I think Neville Holt is, for me
:23:55. > :24:07.It's not a traditional country house.
:24:08. > :24:08.The gardens, they're not traditional country gardens.
:24:09. > :24:10.You come across Mark Quinn sort of hiding,
:24:11. > :24:14.or in the case of Mark Quinn, not hiding in the middle of the lawn.
:24:15. > :24:21.David Ross grew up in Lincolnshire and was educated in Ovinghal
:24:22. > :24:24.and studied law at the Univdrsity of Nottingham, where he still
:24:25. > :24:29.He went on to set up Carphone Warehouse with a friend.
:24:30. > :24:32.We always imagined everyone would want to have one, but I don't think
:24:33. > :24:36.we were envisaging, back in 198 , 1981, that people would be tsing
:24:37. > :24:38.them for sending e`mails, sending texts or taking selfies
:24:39. > :24:43.I guess we always thought there was the opportunity there, but H don't
:24:44. > :24:50.big the opportunity was to become. How proud are you? Very protd. But
:24:51. > :24:59.He ploughs much of his forttne into charity projects are partictlarly
:25:00. > :25:02.His other big passion is collecting art, much of
:25:03. > :25:08.And how important is it to xou to do something like this
:25:09. > :25:11.and welcome people into your home and your grotnds
:25:12. > :25:14.I think the house comes alive when we have the opportunitx to have
:25:15. > :25:20.people enjoying, not only the opera, but also the garden and the ambience
:25:21. > :25:40.enjoys all there are only a few tickets left, so snap them tp. I
:25:41. > :25:48.thought you looked very at home there. Shame I had to leave. Things
:25:49. > :25:54.brightened up a bit in terms of the weather. Yes, but the rain `rrived,
:25:55. > :25:56.as we expected, which wasn't great news for the cricket. I don't think
:25:57. > :26:08.these sheep are very happy, either. There will be some dry weather
:26:09. > :26:12.around, even though there whll be plenty of showers first thing in the
:26:13. > :26:16.morning. It will gradually hmprove, and Sunday looks like it will be
:26:17. > :26:20.mostly dry, with sunny spells. For now, we do have a Met Officd warning
:26:21. > :26:25.in place by rainfall. It will be for the next 24 hours, with a rhsk of
:26:26. > :26:29.torrential downpours and thtndery showers, which may lead to some
:26:30. > :26:32.localised flooding. I expect that the showers will be concentrated
:26:33. > :26:37.butter south, which I will tell you more about any moment. For now, low
:26:38. > :26:41.pressure is in charge, keephng the crowd and the rain with us. Adding
:26:42. > :26:44.to the north of the region `s we head through the evening, and it
:26:45. > :26:50.will linger there throughout the night time, also a few showdrs
:26:51. > :26:54.pigeon into the South East. As we head towards dawn, the rain starts
:26:55. > :26:58.to come lighter and fairly patchy, with minimum night`time temperatures
:26:59. > :27:03.of 11 Celsius. A bit of mist tomorrow morning. As we head through
:27:04. > :27:07.the day on Saturday, a cloudy start, the rain that we have in thd
:27:08. > :27:12.morning, like an patchy, but the weather will gradually start to push
:27:13. > :27:15.the rain further south and then the improvement starts. So we should see
:27:16. > :27:19.some bright or sunny spells as we head through the afternoon, with
:27:20. > :27:22.just the risk of the odd isolated shower. Temperature is still a
:27:23. > :27:26.little bit disappointing for this time of the year, with maxilum of 18
:27:27. > :27:30.Celsius. An improvement on Sunday, with high pressure in chargd, so it
:27:31. > :27:32.should be largely dry and I am hopeful we will see plenty of
:27:33. > :27:41.sunshine, soul and improvemdnt across the weekend. At least we will
:27:42. > :27:43.see some sunshine on Sunday. By goodness. Whatever you're doing this
:27:44. > :27:48.weekend, have a great time. Goodbye.
