17/08/2014 East Midlands Today

There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel and I will

be back With your news now for the

East Midlands, I'm Jim Davies. Four years after a temple

in Leicester was destroyed in a gas explosion, worshippers have

been able to celebrate their annual The celebration by members of

the Iskcon temple coincides with a 30 people escaped just before this

temple exploded four years ago. A massive fire then ripped

through the building. Since then, it's been a struggle

to find another permanent temple. It's hard to imagine

anything four years ago. The explosion actually happened

the day after our celebrations. But, then, at that point,

we didn't know where and what would happen, where we would go,

and what would happen after that. But it was only

after an anonymous donor came forward that the congregation was

able to move into new premises. Today's significant because it's

the first time we are having our celebration in the temple as

well as here in town hall square. It's all part of one big festival

in the city which sees more than 70 Any festival has got to

be worthwhile having. It attracts people

into the city centre. I mean, here in the Premier League

in football, From national scale cycling races to

parades through the streets, the city festival is on day and

night until bank holiday Monday. A Lincolnshire mayor has become

of office in the studios. I've got listeners that are

listening via the Internet, I want to promote what we do here

in Grantham, the local businesses, and it's just a wonderful format

in which to do that. And, as Labour councillor,

lays off the party politics, too. If you're party politics

on your radio show, you're basically alienating

a certain part of your audience. Back in the Mayor's parlour,

and a busy diary Sunday night is already booked,

though. In football, Leicester returned to

the Premier League and got a well deserved point, while

Forest and Derby remain undefeated. After a decade waiting,

this was the moment. Leicester's visitors, Everton,

but what's in store for us? Good evening. It's been another cool

and blustery day today. The winds are easing down over the next 24

hours but there's no sign of the summer returning. It is staying cool

and showery. We have seen some showers this evening and we continue

to see some pushing southwards so it is cloudy and damp. But those

temperatures are up into double figures at around 11 or 12. Tomorrow

morning, starting cloudy and damp, we continue to see the showers

pushing away to the south, and for many of us, it will brighten up.

Despite those winds being lied to, temperatures are struggling once

again with highs of 17 or 18. I'll have more for you just

after 10:15pm. Good evening. It was a slow start

for England and Wales. We got there in the end today. A cloudy morning,

with some outbreaks of rain. As that weather front sank south, breaks in

the cloud developed. Different further north - it stayed windy and

wet, with showers and longer spells of rain at times. That low area of

pressure drifts off to the east. A few showers drifting further south,

inWales and northern England. The strongest of the winds first

thing tomorrow morning across the far north-east of Scotland. Rough

seas. Hopefully fewer showers than we have seen today. A cloudy start

and we run the risk of a few showers through Wales, the Midlands, into

the south-east corner. By the end of the day to North Sea-facing coasts.

As we move towards Tuesday,
