:00:15. > :00:17.The Government has given its backing to plans for almost 6,000
:00:18. > :00:19.new homes in our region, housed in so-called

:00:26. > :00:26.across the country chosen for development to help
:00:27. > :00:37.This site could soon become one of the England's
:00:38. > :00:40.The Government has backed a planned development
:00:41. > :00:42.here on the edge of Derby, near the business
:00:43. > :00:46.It's one of 14 new settlements proposed across the country
:00:47. > :00:52.The Government are putting forward ?6 billion in total,
:00:53. > :00:56.of which we'll have part of that money which will be used to provide
:00:57. > :00:59.2,000 quality homes on this site, which will go towards meeting our
:01:00. > :01:09.needs to provide 12,500 homes in South Derbyshire by the year 2028.
:01:10. > :01:12.The Government isn't specifying exactly what a garden village,
:01:13. > :01:16.town or city is, but it does say it wants to see evidence of attractive,
:01:17. > :01:23.well-designed places with local support.
:01:24. > :01:26.Another of the villages is set to be created here, near Grantham,

:01:38. > :01:40.It's probably going to get congested and it's going to affect everybody
:01:41. > :01:46.I think the town can grow and get a bit larger.
:01:47. > :01:50.We can attract new shops to the town centre, so I think, all in all,
:01:51. > :01:55.I know people need houses, but then you also have to match it
:01:56. > :01:58.In total, the new villages could provide more than 48,000 homes.
:01:59. > :02:01.According to this economist, it's a step towards easing
:02:02. > :02:07.Over the past decade, we've probably fallen short
:02:08. > :02:11.in England by about 50,000 houses a year.
:02:12. > :02:15.These garden villages will only go some way to make up that backlog.
:02:16. > :02:17.While there have been objections to the news
:02:18. > :02:19.in the East Midlands, ministers insist as well
:02:20. > :02:22.as much-needed homes, the new communities will also bring

:03:47. > :03:52.This is the shop and house in Normanton, Derby,
:03:53. > :03:54.where the Wheeldon family, a century ago, sold
:03:55. > :03:58.But they also helped conscientious objectors,
:03:59. > :04:02.so MI5 sent an agent under the name of Alec Gordon, posing
:04:03. > :04:07.He fabricated a story that the Wheeldons were planning
:04:08. > :04:11.to shoot the then Prime Minister, Lloyd George, with a poison dart.
:04:12. > :04:13.Alice was jailed for ten years, along with her daughter

:04:17. > :04:19.Now, though, the Mason's granddaughter says there
:04:20. > :04:22.is new evidence about the fake agent, Alec Gordon, who was sent
:04:23. > :04:27.Even in the last two months we have actually found more records,
:04:28. > :04:32.new material, that has been found in the South African records
:04:33. > :04:36.where Alex Gordon was sent, in his own handwriting
:04:37. > :04:37.about what happened, so we've got yet another
:04:38. > :04:45.Alice was released later in 1917, but died in Derby in 1919
:04:46. > :04:51.Now Chole hopes a legal case this year will see Alice's

:04:58. > :05:03.Well, Colin Hazelden is here to tell us more.
:05:04. > :05:16.Was this a surprise? I suppose it was only think you are talking about
:05:17. > :05:21.Mr Leicester Tigers here. 23 of the 25 years of Richard Cockerill's
:05:22. > :05:28.career has been at Leicester Tigers. He has led them to three premiership
:05:29. > :05:35.titles... It is less of a surprise when that sense of dominance started
:05:36. > :05:41.to slip. They stopped making those finals. They just suffered a record
:05:42. > :05:45.defeat at Munster. This weekend there were beaten at Saracens.
:05:46. > :05:54.Leicester Tigers are not used to this. That in VM, is why Richard
:05:55. > :05:59.Cockerill has gone. There is the sense that something is not quite
:06:00. > :06:05.right at Leicester Tigers. What happens at Tigers now? They have
:06:06. > :06:09.released a statement, with some very dignified words from temp two. The
:06:10. > :06:14.players have expressed their support on social media, but the head coach,
:06:15. > :06:20.Aaron Mauger, will charge temporarily. We will hear from him
:06:21. > :06:24.on Wednesday. Then the board say they are looking at a long-term plan
:06:25. > :06:28.for a Leicester Tigers, so we will see what that will be.
:06:29. > :06:30.Before we let you go, there was football today
:06:31. > :06:34.Yes, in the Premier League, it was a second clean sheet
:06:35. > :06:37.in a row for Leicester, but a bad day for our clubs
:06:38. > :06:39.in the Championship - Derby with a man sent off too.
:06:40. > :06:41.In League Two, Mansfield provided our only win
:06:42. > :06:45.of the day, while Notts County had another shocker.
:06:46. > :06:51.Good evening, and a chilly evening, and a cold night tonight.
:06:52. > :06:54.So with clear skies at first, that is going lead us to an early
:06:55. > :06:56.frost during the early hours of the morning.
:06:57. > :06:58.It's dry, it's clear, the winds are still fairly
:06:59. > :07:02.That frost forming early doors, although if you just start to look
:07:03. > :07:05.west you can see clouds starting to push in.
:07:06. > :07:07.Temperatures down to about freezing, if not below.
:07:08. > :07:09.So, a chilly start to your day tomorrow.
:07:10. > :07:10.Now, the main difference between the two days
:07:11. > :07:13.is tomorrow you will see more in the way of cloud.
:07:14. > :07:15.Yes, it will still be quite bright and there
:07:16. > :07:18.will be occasional breaks, but, on the whole, a cloudier day.
:07:19. > :07:20.Possibly thick enough for an odd spot of drizzle,
:07:21. > :07:24.A freshening breeze and a little bit milder -
:07:25. > :07:25.temperatures will be about six degrees.
:07:26. > :07:28.Now, high pressure is still in charge, so for Wednesday,
:07:29. > :07:33.It will be dry and bright, variable cloud and spells of sunshine.
:07:34. > :07:36.As it is going to be another clear night into Thursday,
:07:37. > :07:40.Dry and fine, good spells of sunshine, but cold before rain
:07:41. > :07:55.Make the most of that sunshine! I will be back with the late News at
:07:56. > :08:05.10:20 p.m., I hope you can join us then. Until then, goodbye.
:08:06. > :08:14.Good evening. It has been turning colder and clearer and our weather
:08:15. > :08:18.watchers have been capturing the sunshine. Here is the scene in
:08:19. > :08:23.Derbyshire and where we have had the clear skies by day, we are in for a
:08:24. > :08:27.cold night tonight. Temperatures already plummeting, particularly
:08:28. > :08:30.towards the south with some icy stretches across parts of central
:08:31. > :08:34.and southern England, and into Wales. For the north-west, not as
:08:35. > :08:40.cold, as we have the cloud building. But to the south we could see
:08:41. > :08:42.temperatures down to minus four or five first thing Tuesday morning. If
:08:43. > :08:43.you have
