:07:25. > :07:30.On the move and on the mend. Today his first time in the Freem`n
:07:31. > :07:37.hospital playroom. Out of intensive care. First of all it was mxself and
:07:38. > :07:40.Anita who could be with him and we had aprons on and were washhng our
:07:41. > :07:48.hands every time we went through an airlock. That lasted for about ten
:07:49. > :07:55.days. This is Albert's verdhcts That is pink which we haven't seen
:07:56. > :07:59.since it was four days old. He's always been a dusky blue colour I
:08:00. > :08:08.always say, are you happy? He said yes, very happy. Because I got my
:08:09. > :08:12.new heart. Everything he's gone through in the next couple of
:08:13. > :08:17.weeks, it's been worth it and we've got the dream ticket. He arrived in
:08:18. > :08:22.Newcastle by ambulance. A r`ce against time from his home. The call
:08:23. > :08:25.came out of the blue that there was a heart available and the strgeon
:08:26. > :08:33.today really impressed with his progress. His heart was in ` mess.
:08:34. > :08:40.We know from before but he suffered a heart attack. A great part of his
:08:41. > :08:44.heart was not working. I was surprised how well he was,
:08:45. > :08:50.considering the condition of his heart. When you see Albert, it's
:08:51. > :08:57.great. Particularly when I look at his history. I think he's done
:08:58. > :09:02.fantastically. I'm very ple`sed Who can forget Albert's alternative ice
:09:03. > :09:07.could challenge, viewed 1 mhllion times on social media, with so many
:09:08. > :09:12.messages of support. We are still receiving messages daily of people
:09:13. > :09:17.showing their donor cards, saying they were inspired by Albert. We are
:09:18. > :09:22.keen to carry that on. Therd are few centres in this world who would have
:09:23. > :09:26.attempted his transplant because the blood donor was a different blood
:09:27. > :09:29.group but, all being well, he could be back home again next month. Good
:09:30. > :09:32.old Albert. Next tonight, what's
:09:33. > :09:34.the answer to the English Qtestion? In his speech to the Labour party
:09:35. > :09:37.conference today, Ed Miliband hinted at new devolved economic powers
:09:38. > :09:39.for our big English cities. But could Labour's thinking benefit
:09:40. > :09:42.Northern cities like Manchester Liverpool, Newcastle and Ledds,
:09:43. > :09:46.at the expense of the Midlands? With that in mind,
:09:47. > :09:49.senior politicians from Birlingham and Nottingham are joining forces
:09:50. > :09:51.to ensure the voice of the Lidlands And for starters,
:09:52. > :09:57.they are highlighting poor rail connections between the two cities
:09:58. > :10:01.as a block to economic growth. From the Labour conference
:10:02. > :10:03.in Manchester, here's our From Labour's conference venue
:10:04. > :10:11.you see a Manchester transformed. It's the visible sign
:10:12. > :10:13.of the northern powerhouse. Northern powerhouse@ That's the
:10:14. > :10:17.increasing political and economic clout that's being wielded by the
:10:18. > :10:21.Northern cities linked to M`nchester to have their voice heard bx both
:10:22. > :10:25.the Treasury and at Westminster Inside a small room at the Labour
:10:26. > :10:36.conference council leaders from the Midlands, East and West,
:10:37. > :10:39.meet to consider their response to London and the south`east whll
:10:40. > :10:43.always grow as an economy. We've got this growing percdption
:10:44. > :10:45.of the North, northern citids, If we're not careful,
:10:46. > :10:49.the Midlands is a bit in So a new pressure group,
:10:50. > :10:53.Midlands Connect, is bringing together council leaders
:10:54. > :10:56.from both the East and West Midlands This is about trying to enstre that
:10:57. > :11:02.the same message is out there Albert Ball,
:11:03. > :11:08.the leader of Birmingham City Council backs HS2 but says hmproved
:11:09. > :11:10.cross`country rail links, especially between Birmingham and Notthngham,
:11:11. > :11:17.is vital and he's got the stpport The roads and railways that connect
:11:18. > :11:24.our regions are simply inaddquate. Albert already talked about
:11:25. > :11:27.Nottingham and Birmingham, both cities relatively good conndctions
:11:28. > :11:31.down to London but really poor But having that case heard loud
:11:32. > :11:38.and clear in Whitehall is why council leaders from the Midlands,
:11:39. > :11:41.East and West, believe it is now A short while ago,
:11:42. > :11:51.I spoke to John at the Labotr conference and asked if the concerns
:11:52. > :11:56.of our Midland cities is justified? I think there's a feeling that
:11:57. > :11:59.the North is stealing a march and the Midlands is in dangdr
:12:00. > :12:02.of being bypassed by the government, The Chancellor George Osborne
:12:03. > :12:06.recently announced plans for creating a northern powdrhouse,
:12:07. > :12:10.allocating ?15 billion of investment Let's talk about HS2,
:12:11. > :12:16.the high`speed rail project. Won't that put the Midlands on the
:12:17. > :12:20.map as far as economic growth is I think HS2 they believe will help
:12:21. > :12:28.investment in the Midlands but it's What they want are improved
:12:29. > :12:35.transport links between the East and West roads and railways
:12:36. > :12:37.and it's not just the politicians who are sayhng it's
:12:38. > :12:41.time for the Midlands to muscle in. I think cities in the north do have
:12:42. > :12:45.that gravity in terms of thdir size. What we've got in the East Lidlands
:12:46. > :12:49.are three very important cities and many important good`sizdd towns
:12:50. > :12:52.as well. We need to use those to
:12:53. > :12:54.our advantage and make thosd work together and make a case for why
:12:55. > :12:57.investment should be coming here and really maximising the potential
:12:58. > :13:01.that we do have in East Midlands. Is it unusual for the East `nd
:13:02. > :13:04.West Midlands to come together Well, I think after Scottish
:13:05. > :13:09.devolution, Midlands cities feel Midland Connect is a way in
:13:10. > :13:14.which they are determined to get The RSPCA in Leicestershire has
:13:15. > :13:25.begun the biggest fundraising It wants to raise a million pounds

:13:31. > :13:34.and cheaper care And it's got high`profile b`cking

:14:04. > :14:08.wants to treat all its anim`ls on site by building its own veterinary
:14:09. > :14:11.clinic. We cannot continue to is sustain the number of animals who
:14:12. > :14:17.come here every year. Every year will we get that's increasing their
:14:18. > :14:21.prices which has a massive dffect on the funding to the centre. Over one
:14:22. > :14:29.third of our money goes on veterinary calls. That is one
:14:30. > :14:31.element we can control. The number of abandoned animals in
:14:32. > :14:36.Leicestershire has risen evdry year for a decade. This centre sdes more
:14:37. > :14:42.than 2000 every year. The ndw clinic will cost ?1 million and have two
:14:43. > :14:46.part`time vets, surgery and x`ray room and the centre is convhnced
:14:47. > :14:49.it's worth the money. They've already raised more than half ?
:14:50. > :14:53.million thanks to corporate sponsors. Now it's over to the last
:14:54. > :14:57.shop public to raise the rest of the million pound target. So little dogs
:14:58. > :15:03.like these can get the care they need. And the campaign has `lready
:15:04. > :15:08.received high`profile support. Hello, this is Engelbert
:15:09. > :15:14.Humperdinck. His dog was rescued by the centre ten years ago. Animals
:15:15. > :15:18.have always played a large part in our family. And I certainly hope
:15:19. > :15:25.that you will be able to rahse the necessary funds. We are verx proud
:15:26. > :15:27.to have him on board. He sent us a message from California to play at
:15:28. > :15:32.our gala day which was well received. Once they are fit and
:15:33. > :15:38.well, the only thing left to do will be to find these animals a new home.
:15:39. > :15:41.How cute is that? Still to come,
:15:42. > :15:51.it's the Autumn equinox. It's officially the start of autumn
:15:52. > :15:55.and we have some rain to get things under way but the summer is fighting
:15:56. > :15:57.back later on this week. I will have all of the details later on in the
:15:58. > :16:06.programme. Winter draws on. What a gloomy
:16:07. > :16:12.introduction. Rugby and the nightmare goes on
:16:13. > :16:16.for Leicester Tigers. Their huge injury list is even
:16:17. > :16:19.bigger with hooker Tom Youngs ruled out for up three months with
:16:20. > :16:21.a shoulder problem. Niall Morris and Geoff Parlhng
:16:22. > :16:24.were also hurt in Saturday's The 45`0 scoreline was
:16:25. > :16:30.their worst in the Premiership. Kirsty Edwards has been catching up

:16:33. > :16:41.and come back and train The performance is
:16:42. > :16:45.my responsibility. It's my fault how the players play
:16:46. > :16:48.so that's down to me and it's COMMENTATOR: I cannot
:16:49. > :16:52.for the life of me remember when I've seen a Ldicester
:16:53. > :16:55.team this much under pressure. The amount of senior players
:16:56. > :16:59.missing before the game and then We've looked at everything we do
:17:00. > :17:03.here from a training point 90% of their injuries are ehther in
:17:04. > :17:09.play or we have inherited from guys who have signed and got injtred
:17:10. > :17:12.after we signed them or injtries You can't control what happdns
:17:13. > :17:18.on the rugby field sometimes. You've actually got to go ott
:17:19. > :17:21.and do better. It's always a slight double`edged
:17:22. > :17:23.sword so we've been unlucky if that's the right word but wd seem to
:17:24. > :17:27.be unlucky a lot, so we're looking into those things, trying to modify
:17:28. > :17:31.and adjust training to suit, but at some point, you've actually got
:17:32. > :17:34.to go out there and train and try They are good guys, they work hard,
:17:35. > :17:43.and we will make sure this weekend COMMENTATOR:
:17:44. > :17:47.This has to rank as one of the very worst days of Rhchard
:17:48. > :17:51.Cockrell's tenure in charge. In a funny way,
:17:52. > :17:54.can it make you stronger? What doesn't kill you
:17:55. > :17:55.makes you stronger. I'm still alive,
:17:56. > :17:59.so I must be stronger. There's no way of getting ott
:18:00. > :18:10.of 45`0 is 45`0. I'm not pretending it's right
:18:11. > :18:13.or good enough or acceptabld. But it is what it is
:18:14. > :18:16.and now we can sack everybody, and you can start with me, or wd can
:18:17. > :18:23.strap a pair on and get on with it. In football,

:18:34. > :18:39.and that's the good thing. We want to be involved in the Cup,
:18:40. > :18:42.so we have a Cup game this week The only difficulty is you get very
:18:43. > :18:46.little time on the training field to do any real
:18:47. > :18:49.preparation leading into thd games. It's more a case of a recovdry

:24:56. > :25:06.dance. Yes, the Autumn Equinox tod`y, the
:25:07. > :25:10.end of summer and the start of autumn. We have got a littld bit of
:25:11. > :25:16.rain to kick things off. Two weather fronts pushing in from the North
:25:17. > :25:20.West tonight but they don't stick around for too long. They whll push
:25:21. > :25:24.through tomorrow. High pressure building in behind that so once

:25:30. > :25:35.The wind is changing to a north`westerly direction so it will

:25:39. > :25:43.Ahead of that, some beautiftl sunshine today. The clouds `re
:25:44. > :25:47.starting to thicken up and we are starting to see rain pushing in from
:25:48. > :25:53.the north and west. It will fragment as it pushes southwards and eastward
:25:54. > :25:57.tonight, but I think we will get a damp rainfall for the gardens. Not a
:25:58. > :26:04.very cold tonight, not as cold as recently. 10`11. Staying in double
:26:05. > :26:07.figures. Tomorrow morning, hf you are up early, there will be rain
:26:08. > :26:13.knocking first thing but it clears through. One or two showers falling
:26:14. > :26:18.behind and in the afternoon, dry with lots of sunshine coming back.
:26:19. > :26:25.The wind is starting to push in a north`westerly direction so making a
:26:26. > :26:29.dent into those temperatures. 1 `17. The pressure starts to build from
:26:30. > :26:31.the South on Thursday and Friday. Mostly dry but fairly cloudx and it

:26:59. > :27:05.just been absolutely marvellous Something I'm never going
:27:06. > :27:10.to experience again. We knew it was going to be big
:27:11. > :27:13.but not as big as it was. The crowds have been
:27:14. > :27:15.fantastic everywhere. I think what has been extraordinary
:27:16. > :27:23.is the ability of the pilots and the maintenance crew to keep thdse old
