Tonight: An off-duty nurse saves the life of Leicester City | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
The nurse was at an awards ceremony when the former player suffered a | :00:12. | :00:21. | |
cardiac arrest. After the fourth shot comic he came around and was | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
breathing for himself again on the first thing he said to me was, wow, | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
what just happened? So straightaway, he was alert. Also tonight, caught | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
on CCTV. The RSPCA say what happened next was sickening. Plus the latest | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
chapter in the amazing story of the development of MRI in Nottingham. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
And in sports, in northern Italy, Nottingham Pampers historic | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
Continental cup campaign gets off to a winning start. -- Nottingham | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Panthers. Good evening and welcome to Friday's | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
programme with Anne Davies For years now, former | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
footballer Alan Birchenall has campaigned for defibrillators to be | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
installed at sports grounds. Last night his life | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
was saved by one. The football legend | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
and Leicester City ambassador collapsed at an awards event held | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
at the home of Leicester Tigers, but he was saved by the emergency | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
first aid he received. He is affectionately known as the | :01:27. | :01:43. | |
Birch. Since the early 1970s, Alan Birchenall has been part of | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
Leicester City. As well as being a player coming he is also known to | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
raising millions for charity. While handing out awards at the Leicester | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
Mercury sports event last night, Alan collapsed because of a cardiac | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
arrest. His life was saved by nurse Lisa Fereday. She was there because | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
her daughter was nominated for an award. Read I started chest | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
compression is, asked for the automated defibrillator to be | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
brought to me as soon as possible. Somebody got that. That was brought | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
quickly to me and all the time, it is obviously important to continue | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
effective chest compression is, which I did. When the automated | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
defibrillator came, we attached it and was able to deliver a shock for | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
his day with me, which was obviously pivotal in saving his life. How | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
Bhagwati 's condition? He did speak to me afterward. After the fourth | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
shot coming he came round and was breathing for himself again. The | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
first thing he said to me was wow, what just happened then? This doctor | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
has worked with Alan Birchenall public events to promote the use of | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
defibrillators. The very equipment which kept him alive. There were two | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
things that saved his life last night. One was the immediate | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
commencement of resuscitation, compression of the heart and the | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
second thing was the defibrillator that was quickly available and the | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
shocks from it saved Alan's life. Is it fair to say he has been | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
overwhelmed by messages from the public? He has had many messages. | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
I've warned him not to spend too much time trying to respond to them. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
He is overwhelmed and overjoyed at the support he has had. | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
Simon is outside the King Power stadium now. | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
I understand you managed to speak to Alan earlier this evening? | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
Yes, late this afternoon I was able to speak to Alan Birchenall at the | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
Glen field hospital. Understandably, he is very tired, be very happy and | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
recovering well and pleased with all those hundreds and hundreds of | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
messages of support that are coming through from members of the public. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
It gave me a great big smile on the thumbs up. It is remarkable by his | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
life was saved by the device as he has been promoting to the public. | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
We've had a stem from Leicester City, they've also thanked everyone | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
who is helping Alan Birchenall for the messages of support and have | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
sent all the love from everybody here at Leicester city football | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
club. Alan posted a Facebook message this afternoon, it said he hopes to | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
have an operation tomorrow and be out of Spittal in the next few days. | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
He said to all his well-wishers that one of his favourite songs was | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Staying Alive. Thank you. Best wishes to Alan. | :04:40. | :04:40. | |
"Violent, sustained, brutal and degrading." | :04:41. | :04:41. | |
That's how a judge has described attempted rapes and serious sexual | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
assaults on two women in Nottingham last autumn. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
But the judge also said what makes the attacks more shocking | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
is that they were carried out by a 16-year-old boy. | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
It was last October, just after 8am, when a woman in her 20s was walking | :04:53. | :05:12. | |
along this alleyway. Suddenly, she was grabbed from behind by a man and | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
subjected to a terrifying and serious sexual assault. The attacker | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
ran off, but then 15 minutes later, struck again. This time, a woman in | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
her 60s who was walking her dog ear. She was attacked and subjected to | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
two serious sexual assaults and two attempted rates. From DNA at the | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
scene, the police sooner arrest the attacker. He was 16 and had been | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
drinking and taking drugs or lie before the attacks. Today, | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Nottingham Crown Court heard both victims had been strong, independent | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
women before that October morning. But the younger men now says she | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
needs somebody to go with her wherever she goes and lives in | :05:51. | :05:51. | |
terror another attack. The older victim also said she now | :05:52. | :06:05. | |
can't go far from her house, because of the memory of the attack, which | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
now controls. They've both been affected terribly | :06:08. | :06:20. | |
and this attack was in broad daylight. So they both made the | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
comment that it is not even as if it was at night. So it has caused | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
significant trauma since that time. Judge Gregory Dickinson told the | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
youth, this is to all intents and purposes the same as rate. It was | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
violent, sustain, brutal and degrading. These offences are | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
shocking enough, but what makes it all the more extraordinary for the | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
courts and the public is that you are just 16 years old. You have | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
admitted terrible crimes with very serious consequences for the | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
victims. The judge sentenced the US to nine years in prison, with, if | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
and when he is released, five years afterwards of extended licence. | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
A car fitted with CCTV cameras has captured over 600 drivers | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
parking illegally over the last ten months. | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
It's part of a crackdown on what's considered to be dangerous | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
and inconsiderate parking outside schools and bus stops | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
The county council invested in the vehicle last year, | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
It says the idea isn't about making money, but changing behaviour. | :07:24. | :07:40. | |
More than eight million pounds of Government | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
funding is being awarded to the East Midlands | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
The money can be used to fix around 150,000 potholes | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
or stop them forming in the first place. | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
The Department for Transport's already agreed almost | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
92 million pounds, to repair the region's highways. | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
Still to come: Are the Panthers about to make ice hockey history? | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
Colin Hazelden's in Italy this evening. | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
Well, here in this hall and atmospheric arena, the Pampers | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
campaign got off to the best of starts this afternoon. Find out how | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
later on in the sport. -- the Panthers. | :08:18. | :08:18. | |
The RSPCA is investigating what it describes as an horrific | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
They say it's important to catch the culprit. | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
The incident was caught on security cameras by Millie's owner, | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
Patrick McGeary, who's been talking to our reporter Geeta Pendse. | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
And a warning for you - we will be showing the video | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
So if you want to, please look away now for the next 30 seconds. | :08:36. | :08:47. | |
Enjoying attention from her owner Patrick. | :08:48. | :08:48. | |
But 24 hours ago, Millie was attacked outside | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
Patrick's private CCTV camera captured the shocking moment when a | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
My cat was just sat there, being friendly and | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
I felt sick, I felt angry to think that | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
somebody thinks they have the right to do that to a defenceless animal. | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
Millie's suffered swelling to her jaw and is now being treated for a | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
Determined to find out who carried out the attack, | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
Patrick posted the footage onto Facebook and | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
I've had messages from all over the world wanting to know how | :09:26. | :09:34. | |
Millie is and it is nice to know there are some of the good people | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
The RSPCA are now investigating and appealing for | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
They say inflicting such an horrific attack on a | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
defenceless cat is sickening and it is | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
important we track down the | :09:48. | :09:48. | |
I think they are the lowest of the low. | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
If they've got a problem with somebody, they | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
should go to them, not pick on adefenceless little animal. | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
Patrick says he will not let Millie out of | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
the house, fearful it may happen again. | :10:06. | :10:15. | |
Six men have appeared in court accused of running an insurance scam | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
where they caused dozens of car accidents across Derbyshire. | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
The court heard that they targeted mainly older or lone female | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
drivers and made claims using stolen identities. | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
This man, the director of the company described today in court as | :10:25. | :10:43. | |
fraudulent and at the heart of a crash for cash scam. His brother was | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
the secretary of that company. The pair were part of claims management | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
firm, dobby enterprise solutions, where 17 number 41 collisions that | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
are part of this trial were dealt with on behalf of the claimants. The | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
brothers and the other four defendants have all been charged | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
with conspiracy to defraud. It is alleged that between November 2000 | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
11 March 2013, they were involved in as gamma whether deliberately caused | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
road traffic collisions across Derbyshire in order to make a false | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
insurance claims, including for personal injuries. A quarter of | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
those collisions took place at the marked Eaton Island roundabout in | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
Derby. The prosecutor said the group targeted older drivers and lone | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
women. They are also accused of using stolen identities and false | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
medical reports as part of those claims. The court heard that this | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
man from Bradford produced assessment reports on the vehicles | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
involved in the collisions before the claims were sent to insurance | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
companies. But the prosecutor says these reports were fraudulent and | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
produced without the vehicles being examined. The other defendants | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
include these men are from Derby and Adam Stark from Nottingham who is | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
also charged with perverting the course of justice. Another seven | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
defendants have already pleaded guilty to their part in the scammer. | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
The six defendants he had denied all charges. The trial continues. -- the | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
six defendants here denied all charges. | :12:20. | :12:20. | |
An Iraqi family who were moved to Derby so their deaf son | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
could learn sign language have earned a last minute reprieve | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
from the Home Office, which means they won't be | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
Six-year-old Lawand Hamad Amin's family fled Iraq because | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
Islamic State had threatened to kill disabled children. | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
A decision on his future has been deferred until a High Court judge | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
Derby City Council's putting aside forty thousand pounds | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
for an art installation, featuring thousands | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
The piece was created by Derby artist Paul Cummins, | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
and featured as part of his display outside the Tower of London in 2014. | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
The installation, called Weeping Window, will see the poppies | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
cascading down the city's historic Silk Mill from June this year. | :12:59. | :13:08. | |
A nine million pound investment in MRI scanning was celebrated today | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
It was there back in the 1970s that MRI was developed | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
Well, things have moved on since then. | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
The latest state of the art imaging paves the way for more research | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
into a whole range of health problems, as our health | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
The late 1970s at Nottingham University, and the British inventor | :13:30. | :13:38. | |
Sir Peter Mansfield working on the world's | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
Today, almost 40 years on, the Nobel Prize winner was back | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
there to hear about the University's latest | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
investment in magnetic resonance imaging. | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
It is nice to hear that there is still some interest, not | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
just locally, but that there is interest in MRI | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
One of the University's new MRI scanners. | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
It provides sharper images, including | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
of the brain and is being used to research hearing loss. | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
We are now able to get much better quality | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
pictures of this part of the brain, which has been | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
It is the brain stem and I'm interested in how sounds get | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
There's also a new vertical scan at the | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
It will be used to investigate a range of conditions. | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
We want to extend what is possible with MRI to make the new systems | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
that give us a different kinds of information, | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
systems we currently have and apply them in the best possible way. | :14:37. | :14:45. | |
Pam, and her husband, Mike, who was a paramedic, | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
have raised over ?20,000 for this new development. | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
Their son Sam from Newark died following a | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
We had a very difficult time at MRIs and we want | :15:02. | :15:10. | |
to help young people and children get over the anxieties that he had. | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
I'd like to thank everybody who donated and supported us to make | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
this possible and make it for all children who need it in our area. | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
All part of the latest chapter in the story of Nottingham's | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
Rob, some interesting developments there which will help patients. | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
And this of course will go down as a hugely pressured week for the NHS. | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
After a war of words, is there any sign of things easing off? | :15:34. | :15:46. | |
Yes, and I can tell you our main A things have eased off a little here | :15:47. | :15:56. | |
in Nottingham. They say they are seeing fewer patients, but the | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
pressure is still high. In Leicester, where we have that system | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
critical incident, which is the highest state of alert, earlier this | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
week, extra staff had to be drafted in and things have eased off there | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
as well. And the political fallout continues? It does indeed. A war of | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
words over the NHS, as you said, Theresa May criticising opposition | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
and the British Red Cross have also come in for flak for describing the | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
situation as a humanitarian crisis. Many in the NHS have been working go | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
overboard on the front line this week and I think they will be glad | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
to see the back of this week. But we know that although things have eased | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
off, things can ramp up quickly again and the flu season has not yet | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
peaks. Not good news at all there. Thank you, Rob. | :16:47. | :16:47. | |
Still to come this evening - hair with style. | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
A new exhibition gets underway that celebrates the afro cut and explores | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
the styling of black hair as an art form. | :16:54. | :17:02. | |
Time for sport and things rather overshadowed today, Nat, | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
by the sad news that Alan Birchenall has been seriously unwell. | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
Yes, we brought you an update on Alan's recovery at | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
Tomorrow, fans plan to light up the King Power Stadium for the Birch. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
On the tenth minute of Leicester's game with Chelsea, supporters | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
will switch on their mobile phone lights to show the man they call | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
Today there's been an out pouring of emotion on social media, | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
as sporting stars, celebrities and former players wish Alan well. | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
Birchy is a great friend of this programme and is hugely | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
popular with fans, pundits and the footballing world. | :17:41. | :17:51. | |
We hope everyone is sending Birchy our get well wishes, too. | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
Now is almost time for kick off in a massive game for Derby County. | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
They're at Elland Road tonight facing promotion rivals Leeds | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
Earlier, midfielder Will Hughes signed a new deal long | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
Making his debut tonight, new signing David Nugent. | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
A man who knows exactly what it takes to win promotion | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
the Premier League, as Angela Rafferty reports. | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
David Nugent scores and it is one-nil to Leicester! | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
He is the dictionary definition of a | :18:22. | :18:22. | |
He wants me to come here and score some goals and get the team | :18:23. | :18:32. | |
He knows I've been promoted twice, and | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
he wants me around the place giving a lot of encouragement and hopefully | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
Reunited with Steve McClaren, who gave him is one | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
Steve gave me my debut against Andorra and in the | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
last 20 minutes, he managed to grab a goal and I will | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
It is the relationship he has to the players. | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
He's out there on the training pitch. | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
A firm favourite with fans, his former club has | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
had flowers delivered to Derby yesterday. | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
Loved by the Foxes faithful, too, their top goal scorer | :19:04. | :19:05. | |
I got on with the players really well. | :19:06. | :19:17. | |
They deserved it, they had an incredible season. | :19:18. | :19:27. | |
Two promotions to the Premier League with two different teams. | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
That's the job, coming here and encourage the lads | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
and make them believe they can get promoted. | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
In the past couple of years, they have almost been there, | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
but I'm hoping now I can come in, score my goals and get the lads | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
playing even better and push them up the table. | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
A presence on the pitch and a menace off it. | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
He's one of our own, he's one of our own! | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
You've got a bit of a reputation as a joker. | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
Not yet, I think he went out to get some jam roly-poly and left | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
the table, but I was thinking about it, but it is early days yet. | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
Onto Forest, and their transfer embargo has been lifted | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
They also say it does not mean the proposed takeover is complete. | :20:18. | :20:27. | |
The manager, meanwhile, just trying to get on with it. | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
I prefer to look toward what I have than what I haven't. | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
I'm sure it is the first time in my career that | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
When times are difficult, you need to be stronger. | :20:39. | :20:53. | |
Notts County begin a new era tomorrow under new owner Alan Hardy | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
And what a start for him as Notts play local rivals Mansfield | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
in the Nottinghamshire derby in front of a big | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
In rugby, the Leicester Tigers play tomorrow in a European Champions Cup | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
Now, last but not least from me, it's a huge weekend | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
for Nottingham Panthers and the whole of British Ice Hockey. | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
They are trying to make history as the first British club to win | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
a European trophy and Colin is there live for us now | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
at an Arena in the mountains of Northern Italy. | :21:28. | :21:29. | |
Good evening to you. Look at this place. It is just warm enough for me | :21:30. | :21:49. | |
in here to take my coat off, but I can still see my breath. This is an | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
old-fashioned place to hold a final. Concrete terraces over there. | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
Nottingham Panthers have three games to win the Continental cup this week | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
and a first of this afternoon. It could not have got off to a better | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
start. It was the captain who was there at the back post to score the | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
opener for the Panthers. A brilliant start. They are to push in the | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
second period, but they gave up. On that power play, the captain again | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
was there to stick home the second goal. A great start for the | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
Panthers. This is the Panthers assistant coach. A great way to | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
start these games and they're well on top form. Let us talk about what | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
it is like to be here. We came up the weather fans would have them, | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
upon the cable car and the Tramp. It makes it special, doesn't it? Yes, | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
you quite a bit of nostalgia when you play Italian hockey. It is | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
different to what we are used to in Nottingham, but it is nice to come | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
somewhere different. You got off to the best possible start, to more | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
tough games to come this week. The host in particular on Sunday, | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
cheered on by their fans. All the bits of? Yes, you're going to be | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
playing against a stronger teams in European finals, but we've started | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
well. That is the key to a tournament. It puts the pressure | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
back on and they are going into the first tonight. David, thank you. We | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
will have commentary on BBC Nottingham sports Facebook page. | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
Thank you. We will have live commentary of finals weekend over | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
there in Italy on our BBC Nottingham Facebook page all throughout the | :23:39. | :23:39. | |
weekend. It can be your crowning glory | :23:40. | :23:40. | |
or look like a bird's nest. It can be long or short, | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
straight or curly. It can make a huge statement | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
and cost you a fortune, because hair has been important to | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
mankind for centuries. Now, visitors to the New Art | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
Exchange in Nottingham a new display that focuses on black | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
hair as an art form. It all starts tomorrow | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
but Carol Hinds went From locks and braids, | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
to canerows and afros. The Art of Black Hair grew | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
from a workshop that got the black community in Nottingham | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
talking about their hair. These are crochet braids, | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
so you curl your hair backwards and you crochet | :24:17. | :24:18. | |
the extensions into your hair. I have it a bit straighter | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
and put it in a ponytail, but it is a bit | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
lazy, though practical. I usually have got this | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
on and I plait it, most of the time. We are not like many | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
other races, where we So we're really hair artists | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
on a daily basis and that is where the idea for the | :24:38. | :24:53. | |
exhibition came from. The portraits and styles | :24:54. | :24:55. | |
will be on show at the new Art Exchange in Nottingham from | :24:56. | :24:57. | |
tomorrow, along with the selection of hair memorabilia | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
from the 19th century. The iron comb was put on coal | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
fires and then, latterly, paraffin heaters, when we came | :25:04. | :25:05. | |
to England, and then on the gas When I was younger, I used to go | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
crazy with my hairstyles. I used to have it in silver foil, | :25:09. | :25:22. | |
in my younger days. I do like to have my hair out | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
in an Afro, pull it back If it gets wets, it is very | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
curly, and if I run it through with the straighteners, | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
it goes straight. The Art of Black Hair runs | :25:38. | :25:39. | |
until March the 19th. I love braided hair. Absolutely | :25:40. | :25:55. | |
stunning. Now it is time for the weather. It was snowing this | :25:56. | :25:57. | |
morning? A lot of it was across the | :25:58. | :26:06. | |
Leicestershire area. This picture was captured by Gary this morning, | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
falling over the city of Leicester. Loughborough got a light dusting | :26:12. | :26:12. | |
this morning as well. Ice is the big problem we are | :26:13. | :26:29. | |
looking up. Especially if there is still snow on the ground. There are | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
still a a few wintry showers around. Not at the moment, clearer skies | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
mean a widespread frost and a very cold night. Temperatures as low as | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
-3 -4-macro in rural areas. Showers coming across the western side, | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
North Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire into the early part of the morning. | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
Widespread frost for the rest of us, so cold start tomorrow. Saturday, | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
few are showers, brighter skies and the wind will ease off as well. So | :26:58. | :27:05. | |
it is a moderate, North breeze and it will be chilly, temperatures no | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
higher than four. By Saturday night and into Sunday, this area brings in | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
rain by Sunday. Sunday is quite cloudy and grey, quite damp. The | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
temperatures double compared to what we have been used to. Mild on Sunday | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
and through the early part of next week. But it will go a lot colder by | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
the time we get to Wednesday. Get well, Bircher, and stop flirting | :27:30. | :27:43. | |
with the nurses! Goodbye. | :27:44. | :27:45. |
