And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn.

Two people are under arrest tonight on suspicion of murdering a

Police have been given more time to question them.

Today tributes were left at the address in Bestwood Park

Trying to come to terms with the sudden death of a young girl.

Throughout the day, flowers and children's toys were laid ottside

It was yesterday morning when police were called herd over

Today, as more people who lhve nearby learnt of her death,

It is shocking, to be so close, I pass it

on my way to school every d`y, and to not know that somethhng like

It is shocking, really, to do that to a kid.

My neighbour came and knockdd on the door and told me abott it,

it sent me really cold, I s`id, it sent me really cold.

It is quite a shock to the local community.

Nobody likes to hear of the death of a child, any child, in f`irness.

This particular child is no exception.

The 23`year`old woman who w`s arrested yesterday on suspicion

of murder has been named locally as Kay Anne Harris, and she is thought

Neighbours who I've spoken to say that she's lived here for around

three years, and they descrhbe her and the young girl as very puiet,

they kept themselves to thelselves and they rarely saw them.

A 47`year`old man who was arrested yesterday on suspicion

of assault has now been arrdsted on suspicion of murder.

Both he and the 23`year`old woman are being in custody.

Police have yet to identify nowhere a body found inside a factory that

The fire broke out at the Sherwood Works building in Basford

The hosiery factory was destroyed in the blaze.

Later, the police confirmed they'd discovered a body inside it.

How the fire started is still under investigation.

If you're planning to catch an early flight next week from

East Midlands Airport, build in some extra time to get there

There's going to be an 11 mile detour on the jotrney

from some directions becausd of six weeks of overnight roadworks

Traffic from the congested @453 tries to get onto

the busy roundabout at junction 24 of the M1 near Kegworth.

Now they're building a relidf road through the roundabout.

That will cut out the need for lots of vehicles to circle `round

The road is from the A50 is going to be coming through the centrd

of the roundabout, and then going up towards the A453 for M1 south

Much of the work will be done at night.

From Monday, there will be six weeks of overnight

Closures as well on the middle two weekends next month.

Passengers going to East Midlands airport will be sent

The signed diversion route will be taking motorists down to junction

23 on the motorway, and then back round up to junction 23A.

We estimate that's around an extra 11 miles.

Customers should allow an extra 15 minutes to get the airport,

The ?150 million upgrade of the A453 is being done the same time

as the roundabout work, itself costing ?6 million.

The whole reason for doing the work now is it will tie into the A45

widening improvement scheme, and that means we don't have to come

The roundabout road should be completed in January,

and the long`awaited A453 dtelling by May next year.

Derby's pantomime isn't going ahead this Christmas becausd

It was going to take place at the Assembly Rooms

but the building is out of `ction after it caught fire in March.

The city council had hoped to switch the panto to the new velodrome,

The council says people who've already bought tickets for Beauty

and the Beast will get a full refund.

Now, Monday will see an act of mass remembrance across

the region, at least that's the hope of the Royal British Legion.

The Lights Out event is meant to mark the outbreak of World War I

Earlier I spoke to one of its organisers.

If people could support us by purchasing a candle, all profits

And light it between 10pm and 1 pm on Monday night, to show support

You want all the lights out as well, why specifically that form

Between ten and 11 was the powers 100 years ago when radio broadcasts

were being made with a final declaration at 11pm to say that

So we're just asking for th`t support, over that one hour, when

England or Britain was approaching its darkest hour at that tile.

And just to show support for that period.

It is, it's very busy, therd are a lot of things happening throughout

the counties, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire

There are so many events, end if people want to get involved,

That is the reason we try to do it, to make sure people remember

Lots of ways to get involved, they can get involved through

social media, is there somewhere we can go to find out more?

If you go to the British Legion website,

the information you'll need is there.

And it's been another good day for our athletes

A moment Isobel Pooley will never forget.

I can't believe it, it feels so surreal.

I just had to ask the offichal, did I do that?

My coach said today, focus `nd do what we've been doing, and ht's

a credit to what a fantastic coach he is, I just did what he s`id.

It was a leap of faith, I b`rely felt it, I just went for it.

It's been a fantastic few d`ys for Nottingham gymnast Becky Downie but

She went in carrying an ankle injury that's been

troubling her this week but she got off to the worst possible start

She fell off three times in all but she can certainly still hold

her head high after winning two golds at these

games, firstly in the team dvent and then in yesterday's parallel bars.

That was the one medal that I wanted, and I am

To say that that I'm the European bar champion and the Commonwealth

bar champion is just amazing and I'm so pleased.

Squash, and there's definitdly going to be another medal for

She's already won a silver hn the individual event, but is now through

It's the same story for Derbyshire table tennis player Liam Pitchford.

He's made the final of the mixed doubles so now it's

just a question of whether ht's gold or silver for him.

Hockey, and England's women have gu`ranteed

themselves a medal after winning their semifinal earlier tod`y.

Hollie Webb is part of the Dngland squad that drew one all with

New Zealand and went on to win `1 in the penalty shoot out.

They'll now face Australia in tomorrow's final.
