Plans to scrap two fire enghnes in Nottinghamshire have been criticised

:00:17.:00:18.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue service says removing pumps

:00:25.:00:28.

The service needs to shrink its budget by nearly ?2.5 mhllion

:00:29.:00:32.

in the next three years due to cuts in Government funding.

:00:33.:00:35.

But the Union claims if it gets the go ahead

:00:36.:00:38.

It's not about writing a report or anything like that.

:00:39.:00:44.

Many people in the crowed are affected by dementia condithons

66`year`old Richard was diagnosed four years ago.

:01:31.:01:34.

It's just overwhelms your life altogether.

:01:35.:01:37.

It's very sad to see someond who was so articulate, so clever,

:01:38.:01:40.

so strong come to a stage where he just can't think much for hhm

:01:41.:01:47.

He needs help, really, round the clock.

Dozens gathered at the Memorial Cross in Barrow`upon`Trent `s an

:02:40.:02:45.

100 years ago it was dubbed the most patriotic village in England

:02:46.:02:50.

due to the high proportion of men who served in the First World War.

:02:51.:02:55.

We felt it was important th`t we remind people of what this village

:02:56.:02:58.

Schoolchildren played a pivotal role and they weren't glorifying war

:02:59.:03:05.

They were remembering the sdnse of community and they were reminding

us all of the losses and the people who didn't come back

Let's see what the weather has in store, with Sara.

:04:07.:04:19.

Well, we've had a lot of cloud today.

:04:20.:04:21.

In fact, it did try to brighten up a little bit late afternoon but the

:04:22.:04:25.

cloud is thick enough at thd moment to produce the odd light shower

:04:26.:04:28.

Then we start to see clearer skies coming in.
