:00:00. > :00:25.Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you
:00:26. > :00:28.spoken about their ordeal in Afghanistan. They told our
:00:29. > :00:35.correspondence how they werd attacked from three sides while
:00:36. > :00:38.raiding Caliban strongholds. A heartfelt welcome from cheering
:00:39. > :00:42.crowds in Leicester City centre but the last eight months, the ninth 12
:00:43. > :00:44.Royal Lancers had a much more hostile reception in Helmand
:00:45. > :00:51.province where they were targeting the tally van's strongholds ``
:00:52. > :00:54.Caliban strongholds. We would identify the gunmen, the rocket
:00:55. > :01:06.teams and suicide bombings, and the task was to neutralise the threat
:01:07. > :01:10.the soldiers were sent on operations like this and were sent behhnd enemy
:01:11. > :01:16.lines from helicopters. Thex would form on the edges of us and attack
:01:17. > :01:20.the groups, they would attack is from 300 or 600 metres away and we
:01:21. > :01:26.would have to identify them before they could engage us. There was a
:01:27. > :01:31.huge machine gun over to thd left and we had some kind of single round
:01:32. > :01:35.fire, and then to the right some other kind of machine gun. Xou are
:01:36. > :01:39.getting attack from three shdes How frightening is this? It's a real
:01:40. > :01:45.issue for the young lads, so it s a firefight and then move on. Other
:01:46. > :01:52.soldiers supported them using warthog armoured trucks working with
:01:53. > :01:56.local troops. It remains prdtty dangerous. On any single dax we
:01:57. > :01:59.recovered over 2000 rounds of ammunition and a number of rockets,
:02:00. > :02:03.and that was done in a single operation. That took place hn the
:02:04. > :02:10.area where we lost a soldier two months prior. The Lancers all made
:02:11. > :02:12.it back from Afghanistan, btt two of their soldiers came back to
:02:13. > :02:15.Leicestershire with serious injuries, and this week 's parades
:02:16. > :02:28.are a chance to thank them for putting their lives on the line
:02:29. > :02:33.Now, "the lowest of the low". That's how patients describd thieves
:02:34. > :02:35.who stole thousands of pounds of donations from a cancer charity
:02:36. > :02:37.They smashed their way into the centre, in the grounds of Nottingham
:02:38. > :02:41.City Hospital. A man's been
:02:42. > :02:49.Today has not been great as patients at this singing class were putting a
:02:50. > :02:54.brave face on the burglaries. It is a service the people who ard already
:02:55. > :02:59.suffering. I don't think thd people that did this could get any lower.
:03:00. > :03:07.Lower than scum. The servicd this place gives affects all of ts in
:03:08. > :03:13.Nottingham. People that do this sort of thing don't realise how luch hurt
:03:14. > :03:17.they are causing us. The thheves forced their way in through his door
:03:18. > :03:23.and then into the office. It was just hours after the summer fare for
:03:24. > :03:27.the centre and they stole computers. Basically it is the four Apple Mac
:03:28. > :03:31.computers we use, plus a laptop and the worst thing is that the sake
:03:32. > :03:35.that contain the proceeds which had gone well, plus any contribttions
:03:36. > :03:39.made last week, so a fairly substantial amount of cash. Anna had
:03:40. > :03:44.given up her Sunday to raisd money selling summer cocktails. Wd made
:03:45. > :03:49.about ?180 in two hours, whhch is quite amazing. We did reallx well.
:03:50. > :03:54.The strawberries went down well And the pins. After three burgl`ries,
:03:55. > :03:56.computers have been taken bdfore, and the Centre is now reviewing
:03:57. > :04:06.security with the police. A man's been found guilty of
:04:07. > :04:09.murdering a Derby bus driver, who'd David Hunter was found dead outside
:04:10. > :04:13.his home at Breadsall Hilltop Heteny Tarsoly will be sentdnced
:04:14. > :04:16.on Wednesday at Derby Crown Court. A public meeting's been called to
:04:17. > :04:19.discuss a village's concerns about County Council has served
:04:20. > :04:23.an abatement notice on Lood`ll Farm It says the farmer has pledged to do
:04:24. > :04:26.what he can to improve the situation, but residents want
:04:27. > :04:39.assurances they won't face We have to cover up any food that is
:04:40. > :04:44.out and even cover up the c`t food. Things like that. This year the
:04:45. > :04:48.problem has been far worse than previous years, and we want to
:04:49. > :04:51.prevent it happening again, year on year on year.
:04:52. > :04:54.Nearly ?2 million is to be spent recruiting more staff to provide
:04:55. > :04:56.free school meals for infants from September.
:04:57. > :04:59.That's just in Nottinghamshhre, as the county serves up an extra 1 ,000
:05:00. > :05:05.meals a day when government`funded plans are introduced.
:05:06. > :05:11.They've turned up the heat hn the kitchen today at this primary near
:05:12. > :05:18.Nottingham. The pressure is on to provide an extra 75 school dinners.
:05:19. > :05:21.That will be expected every day from September when free school leals are
:05:22. > :05:27.introduced for the infants, the three youngest year groups. We need
:05:28. > :05:33.more pans, chopping boards, more worktop space, but new worktops have
:05:34. > :05:39.been delivered this morning for September, so we will see. @t the
:05:40. > :05:43.moment, Nottinghamshire serves up around 38,000 school meals per day.
:05:44. > :05:49.That will go up by about 12,000 a day in September. The countx is
:05:50. > :05:54.investing ?1.7 million in khtchen expansions and improvements. And
:05:55. > :05:57.they are recruiting another 120 staff. The whole idea was something
:05:58. > :06:01.of a surprise when it was announced by the Deputy Prime Minister Nick
:06:02. > :06:08.Clegg late last year. Maybe there were sceptics who thought they might
:06:09. > :06:15.not follow through but clearly it is the case that it is happening, hence
:06:16. > :06:18.the trial run today. It is ` huge challenge but one we are excited
:06:19. > :06:23.about and we are sure with `ll of the planning in place that we will
:06:24. > :06:27.be ready. Free school meals for infants could save parents or carers
:06:28. > :06:32.?400 per year, cash at the County Council believes might be used to
:06:33. > :06:33.pay for a meal for an older sibling meaning even more school dinners
:06:34. > :06:42.would be needed. I will be back with you at
:06:43. > :06:46.lunchtime, but I will leave you with the weather.
:06:47. > :06:50.A big improvement compared to the weekend with a lot of dry wdather
:06:51. > :06:54.and we are staying with that the rest of the week. We will sde lots
:06:55. > :06:57.of sunshine, particularly through Tuesday and Wednesday althotgh a bit
:06:58. > :07:01.cloudy through Thursday and Friday, but the big thing is that it is
:07:02. > :07:07.warming up with temperatures up to 23 degrees by Wednesday. We stay dry
:07:08. > :07:10.and clear for much of the nhght and the winds are light allowing the
:07:11. > :07:15.temperatures to fall sharplx, so we are downing single figures, seven or
:07:16. > :07:20.eight Celsius but just about staying in double figures in the towns and
:07:21. > :07:23.city centres. Tomorrow, lovdly dry and bright start with sunshhne in
:07:24. > :07:27.the morning and we will see the clouds increasing from time to time
:07:28. > :07:31.but we will stay dry with ddcent sunshine in the afternoon and
:07:32. > :07:33.temperatures a bit higher up to 20 Celsius. From the outlook, dven
:07:34. > :07:33.warmer on fine weather for Friday, before it
:07:34. > :07:47.turns unsettled to tr weekend. There were a few aspects to the
:07:48. > :07:50.forecast today which did not go to plan.
:07:51. > :07:55.There were more showers than expected. The ones which did develop
:07:56. > :07:59.were heavy. They moved through Wimbledon and west London. They have
:08:00. > :08:05.fizzled out now. We have some showers over parts of Scotland.
:08:06. > :08:07.Most places will miss showers tomorrow and stay dry. We have
