It's almost 6:30pm, you're watching East Midlands Today. | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
Tonight - Derby based Rolls Royce is to pay hundreds of millions | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
of pounds to settle claims of bribery and corruption. | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
But with no-one being prosecuted, has someone got away with it? | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Awarded Prime Minister regards who says she will stand up. Plus the | :00:45. | :00:57. | |
campaign against knife crime. My card is breaking for my son. It's | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
big and I cant help it and I have to live with this for the rest of my | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
life. And one of Derbyshire's finest comedy boxing legends he retired to | :01:07. | :01:07. | |
run a chip shop. Welcome to Tuesday's | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
programme with Dominic Heale it was carefully planned | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
and went on for 24 years. And it was carried out by one | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
of this region's flagship For four years, the Derby | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
aero-engine maker's been the subject of the biggest investigation | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
in the history of the Serious Fraud Office and will now have to pay | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
a record amount to settle the case. But, tonight, we'll be asking why | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
nobody is facing jail. First, though, Navtej Johal | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
has the background. Grey skies of a Rolls-Royce in Derby | :01:41. | :01:55. | |
today, but the cloud of the corruption and bribery prosecution | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
hanging over the firm has now lifted. The cost, a ?671 million | :01:59. | :02:09. | |
settlement. The aero firm is set to pay ?479 million plus costs of the | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
Serious Fraud Office. They cited investigating claims of wrongdoing | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
overseas in 2012. Rolls-Royce will also pay ?141 million to the US | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
Justice Department and 21.5 million to Brazilian regulators. This type | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
of settlement is known as a deferred Grecian agreement. They allow | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
organisations to pay huge penalties, but avoid prosecution, it is freely | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
admits to economic crimes such as fraud or bribery. The scale of the | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
settlement is unprecedented. In these years fraud office's 28 year | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
history, this is the largest penalty it has ever issued. The court heard | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
that the case against Rolls-Royce involves bravery of senior foreign | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
officials and senior staff. Stretching across the globe and its | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
businesses from 1989 to 2013. Lawyers said the conduct was | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
carefully planned and led to large contracts earning as much as a | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
quarter of ?1 billion. Countries including India, Russia, Nigeria and | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
China were named as places where there was either conspiracy to | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
corrupt or failure to prevent bribery. Rolls-Royce told as nobody | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
was available for an interview today, but instead releases video | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
which the firm recorded itself. The behaviour uncovered in the course of | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
the investigations by the Serious Fraud Office and other parties is | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
completely unacceptable and we apologise. Unreservedly for it. 'S | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
rise is a very large, international company and it is financially very | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
well served. It is quite in order to pay theirs. It can do so over a | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
period of four years. It is a large amount, but it is a manageable. | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
It is a large amount, but it is a manageable. | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
This is only the third deferred prosecution | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
since the agreements became law three years ago. | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
In a moment we'll hear from the Serious Fraud Office, | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
but first Quentin Rayner's been getting reaction | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
There was urgency in the High Court today to resolve this settlement | :04:10. | :04:19. | |
both here and in the States, before Donald Trump's inauguaration. | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
It's thought the opportunities to secure these deals in the US may | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
By entering this voluntary agreement, Rolls Royce has | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
But this has been condemned by an organisation called | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
Corruption Watch, who's stated mission is to expose corruption | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
By not prosecuting Rolls-Royce, the Serious Fraud Office is | :04:34. | :04:42. | |
unfortunately giving the impression that some companies are just too big | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
and too politically important to prosecute. | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
These deals that are made, deferred prosecution agreements, | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
are actually a pretty good deal for the company. | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
They don't get convicted, they don't have | :04:51. | :04:51. | |
to plead guilty to anything and not all of the wrongdoing that | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
they've been involved in will necessarily get | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
So, this is why companies like these deals. | :04:57. | :05:15. | |
Since the investigation, Rolls Royce has declared on its website | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
that, "High standards of ethical behaviour | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
are essential to protecting the reputation and long-term | :05:20. | :05:20. | |
We are committed to conducting our activities in a wholly ethical | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
manner and have zero-tolerance to bribery and corruption. | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
We have put in place the people, the processes and the support | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
network needed to live up to our promise to be trusted | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
City commentators say investors will be shocked by the scale | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
Pre-tax profits are forecast to halve when they're | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
reported next month, and it's thought Rolls Royce's | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
reputation will have taken quite a hit. | :05:41. | :05:56. | |
The man in charge of the investigation with David Green, the | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
director of the Serious Fraud Office. I caught up with him a while | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
ago. Why do you cut deals that let guilty | :06:03. | :06:03. | |
people get off scot free? A deferred prosecution agreement | :06:04. | :06:15. | |
today deals only with the company. We will now focus our attention on | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
them as our priority and in due course, decide which if any of them | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
should be charged based on the evidence. And this could be people | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
currently employed by Rolls-Royce? It will be those to whom the | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
evidence points. Could you give us an idea of how many people? No. How | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
big was this as an investigation for you? I opened this investigation in | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
2012. It has involved 70 employees from us. It has concerned 30 million | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
documents that have been examined. It dealt with conduct stretching | :06:55. | :07:03. | |
back for decades. It also concerned seven jurisdictions, seven different | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
countries and in three divisions of Rolls-Royce business. A huge | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
investigation, but then the serious fraud offered is used to such | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
investigations such as libel. Is any trip in the perception that big | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
companies around the world get away with the sort of thing they do? Is | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
it just the way the world is run in high finance? I don't think have ?1 | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
billion can be described as getting away with it. What it reflects is | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
they have had to discourage their illicit profits may have paid a very | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
significant financial penalty, which has been discounted, because of what | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
the court called their exemplary cooperation with the S F O | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
investigation. We will leave it there, thank you very much indeed. | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
Thank you. Next - today's big | :07:53. | :07:53. | |
story about Brexit. The Prime Minister has now made | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
clear we cannot remain a member of the single market when we leave | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
the European Union. How has that gone down | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
here in the East Midlands? We've been to the constituency | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
of one of those rebellious Tory MPs, who have openly disagreed | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
with their leader on Brexit ever From Loughborough, here's our | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
political editor Tony Roe. While the Prime Minister made her | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
speech to the diplomats in London, we watched in a cafe | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
near Loughborough town Hall. We are leaving the | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
European Union, but were This is the seat of the former | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
Education Secretary She wants us to stay | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
in the single market and said it would be destructive | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
to have a hard Brexit. She is, though, encouraged | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
by the Prime Minister's speech. And there's clearly | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
been a huge amount of work going on across Government | :08:36. | :08:35. | |
to think about what that future There are clearly much | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
for details, much more negotiations, but I thought the tone | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
of the speech and the awareness of the magnitude of the important | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
new relationship was very welcome. We know that Nicky | :08:45. | :09:01. | |
Morgan picked great importance on what people | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
in Loughborough marketplace say. Well, there is no market | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
today, but plenty of people around | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
to get reaction from. I think any strong Prime Minister | :09:08. | :09:08. | |
should have said, this was We should take the fact that some | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
people are unhappy with being in the EU and use that | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
to press for reforms within the EU. Well, I'm fed up of | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
the European market. The Government are in Brussels | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
or wherever they are. They say we've got | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
to do this, we've got We should be in charge | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
of our own money, we should be in I just don't think we | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
should be tied to the Anna Soubry is in the same | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
camp as Nick Morgan. For her, the PM's speech did not | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
indicate a hard Brexit. We are going to be out | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
of the single market. Her critics for too long have been | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
saying that she has not been specific about what our aims | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
of negotiations are. Our new relationship | :10:01. | :10:02. | |
with the European Union The Prime Minister | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
has been very clear. Well, she hasn't said anything today | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
that she has not said She spelt it out | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
rather more clearly. It was more accepting that this has | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
got to be in everybody's And tonight, the Labour | :10:15. | :10:26. | |
leader in the European Parliament, | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
the East Midlands' the Prime Minister of giving up | :10:30. | :10:30. | |
on the single market before A woman accused of the manslaughter | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
of her niece has told the jury at Leicester Crown Court she treated | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
the baby like her own child. Chaunfang Zheng denies violently | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
shaking seven-month-old Phoebe Guo to stop her crying | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
at her flat in Lutterworth. Giving evidence at the second day in | :10:43. | :10:59. | |
her defence, she was cross-examined about the events leading up to the | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
death of her knee is Phoebe. The 31-year-old had been looking after | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
the baby at her flat on Linden dies in Lutterworth in March 2000 15. Her | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
parents were working nearby at the family takeaway. The prosecution | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
alleges within half an hour in her saltier, CB suffered eight | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
catastrophic brain injury. Cost examining her, the prosecution said | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
you had for young children all in a very small flat. Phoebe was crying | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
and refusing to eat. You were feeling very stressed, weren't you? | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
She replied, I did not feel stressed. The prosecution continued, | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
you pick up Phoebe into your arms and you violently shake her to stop | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
crying. She replied, no. Phoebe died four hours later having never be | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
gained consciousness. The prosecution claim she lost control | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
and shook the baby. She says her knees went pale and lost | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
consciousness as she tried to feed her. The prosecuting barrister asked | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
would you tell her mum and dad what you did to her. I tried to | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
resuscitate her, I tried to save her, she replied. You're simply not | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
telling the truth, are you? All I say is fact, she replied. She denies | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
manslaughter, the trial continues. She denies manslaughter, | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
the trial continues. Police have begun a murder | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
investigation after a body was found Officers were called | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
to Cromer Street just after 9:30am this morning and forensic teams | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
are still there tonight. There are also cordons in place | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
on Mayfield Road and Lyme Street. A 50-year-old man has been arrested | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
on suspicion of murder A man's been arrested after tonnes | :12:37. | :12:39. | |

off this morning while A passer-by alerted | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
police at around 7am, spotting a tractor and a muck | :12:54. | :12:56. | |

they arrested a 49-year-old You're watching East Midlands today | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
here in the East Midlands. Next tonight, the profoundly moving | :13:01. | :13:20. | |
accounts from three parents They've come together with | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
a powerful message, Today, the three parents | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
were given knives, which Nottinghamshire Police had | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
seized in covert operations. The parents in turn presented | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
the knives to an artist. He's using them to help create | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
a huge and extraordinary monument The chap pulled out a kitchen knife | :13:33. | :13:47. | |
and stabbed him eight times. In the heart, in the face, straight through | :13:48. | :13:56. | |
the heart. You do get a ten inch knife and plunged it in his neck. | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
One stab wound in his neck. A single knife wound to the chest. He didn't | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
have a chance. He bled to death, literally. They didn't stop their | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
sons being murdered. Their mission now to save other parents their | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
pain. Dealing with the fact that your child is no longer with you and | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
taking away in such a horrible way. If you lay what lot of emotions. My | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
life is over. It's been a hard five years and it's not getting any | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
easier. My heart is breaking for my son. It's breaking. How dangerous a | :14:32. | :14:40. | |
knife is. A danger highlighted by this, created out of 100,000 knives | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
gathered together from police for knife amnesty is across the country. | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
It's called the night angel. Today, they handed its crater at three | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
knives was received by Nottinghamshire Police who used | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
targeted operations rather than amnesties to fight knife crime. Is | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
about the individual to have a propensity for violence and to feel | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
the need to carry this type of weapon and targeting those people to | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
take them off the streets. It was those people that were in possession | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
of these knives. That is correct, yes. It is hoped when finished, this | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
will occupy the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square. Hugely important, | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
usually. If we can raise awareness and just one person from going | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
outside with the knife and taking another persons life. It's not just | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
a statue, it's a work of art and its lives, its salts. My son will never, | :15:39. | :15:47. | |
ever be forgotten. When I'm dead and gone, it will still be there for | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
people to see. Celtic money programme tonight, | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
Derbyshire town remembers its most famous son. The former heavyweight | :15:57. | :16:02. | |

The chair of a Nottinghamshire parish council has resigned, | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
along with three other councillors, because of threats made over plans | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
to hire private security guards for their village. | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
Selston councillor Robert Sears-Piccavey says | :16:14. | :16:14. | |
he and his colleagues had been subject to what he calls a negative | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
The idea of private security has been mooted to combat anti-social | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
The issue has divided opinion in Selston, with opposition | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
There's going to be a new visitor's centre in Sherwood Forest. | :16:25. | :16:39. | |
A planning application's been approved | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
for the site at Forest Coner in Edwinstowe. | :16:42. | :16:42. | |
The project was created by a consortium, led by the RSPB. | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
The new site will mean the current visitor's centre and car park, | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
which dates back to the 70s,will be removed. | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
A charity, which has trained more than 16,000 Leicestershire | :16:56. | :16:58. | |

Once you sit down and learn the fundamentals on the | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
basics, it's quite a simple task that anyone can do and it's | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
They don't know whether, when or where | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
they may witness a cardiac arrest, but this should help them know | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
Sadly, in this country, the majority of people don't get dudes | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
early resuscitation, so instead of getting survival | :18:06. | :18:06. | |
rates of perhaps 40%, its under 10% in the UK. | :18:07. | :18:16. | |
It's quite easy, like if you narrow it down | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
Anything is better than nothing, I guess. | :18:19. | :18:27. | |
At Loughborough town Cricket club, they've got a defibrillator. | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
Backed by the Joe Humphrey's Memorial trust, they want | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
to train as many cricketers as possible. | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
We want to be as equipped as we can be, in order to deal with that. | :18:36. | :18:39. | |

recreational game and the scores of clubs and recreational players | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
that are out there at the weekend playing the sport. | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
Originally, Leicester City's ambassador Alan Birchenall was | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
going to be there, but he is recovering | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
His life saved by one of these, a defibrillator. | :18:52. | :19:03. | |
I think he is doing quite well. If you're watching, keep on going. Here | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
Rugby and Leicester Tigers head coach Aaron Mauger has | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
confirmed he's is looking to bolster his squad. | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
The Tigers haven't won in four games and need injury cover | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
One name in the frame is experienced French | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
international centre Maxime Mermoz from Toulon. | :19:22. | :19:22. | |
As well as being a rugby union star, the 30-year-old he is a model. | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
Mauger told BBC Leicester Sports Martin Ballard | :19:27. | :19:27. | |
We've been searching for a replacement for Manu Tuilagi. | :19:28. | :19:41. | |
Obviously, the guy has long-term injuries, but nothing | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
So, is he amongst those players that you are looking at? | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
He's definitely one of those players we're looking at. | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
Football and one that Nottingham Forest News, Tyler Walker has gone | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
out alone again to Port Vale. Meanwhile, the club continue to hunt | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
for a new manager and is moving closer to appointing a senior member | :20:04. | :20:04. | |
of staff in the finance department. Now, we have features on two | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
different sport for you tonight. Table tennis coming up, but first, | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
Britain has become the first country in the world to recognise Parkour | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
as a sport. To most people, doing a back-flip | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
off a wall seems like a crazy idea, but this extreme sport has really | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
taken off here in the East Midlands. Now table tennis is a sport | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
that's played by many. The East Midlands is playing a big | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
part in its resurgence. And the national championships | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
are being held for the first time This is Britain's top player | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
and Britain was Michael This is Britain's top | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
player and Britain's These sessions at the new | :20:42. | :20:42. | |
table tennis centre at Carlton the Willows | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
Academy in Nottingham. I think it is a great sport | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
to watch at high level when It's on TV, you can't | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
connect yourself to it. It opens your eyes to | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
what table tennis really is. The East Midlands has a reputation | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
for developing players. Two of the four strong Olympic | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
team were from here. They finished fifth in the event, | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
Britain's best ever Mostly a lot of table | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
tennis going on in Nottingham in general these days | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
at the universities. Great to come to a school | :21:12. | :21:13. | |
like this, we got a And to see so many kids | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
that actually do play The future of the sport | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
is in younger hands, like Giorgio, | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
for whom today was so special. It's probably the best | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
thing ever written. At a session like this, | :21:28. | :21:28. | |
40 years ago, a young Derbyshire schoolboy was inspired | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
to take up the sport. The coach that started us | :21:34. | :21:43. | |
playing that day, he sat all of us down after we'd had this | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
big session of table tennis and he said, "One day, one of you guys | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
could be next English champion." For now, Paul Drinkhall | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
is number one, the five times national champion | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
is looking to make it six and join his coach as second | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
on the all-time list to the University of | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
Nottingham in March. And those championships take place | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
over the first weekend in March. Giorgio was great there, wasn't he? | :22:06. | :22:15. | |
He could be the next champion. In his day, he was one of the most | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
famous boxers in Britain. Jack Bodell, the former | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
British Heavyweight champion, is said to have put his home town | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
of Swadlincote on the world map. In the 70's, Jack retired | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
to run a chip shop, but never forgot his | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
South Derbyshire roots. After his death last November, | :22:32. | :22:32. | |
a new exhibition has opened in Swadlincote | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
to celebrate his life. I think it's an opportunity | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
to celebrate the life, the sporting life, of one of South Derbyshire | :22:37. | :22:46. | |
and Swadlincote's most famous sons, Inside Sharpes pottery | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
Museum in Swadlincote, the new exhibition on the life | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
of the boxing legend. Born in 1940, Bodell went | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
into the call industry, Ken Land's father ran | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
amateur boxing for So, Jack was at my father's house | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
regularly and we became big friends. We got to know him very well | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
and he was always there. It was typical, real | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
South Derbyshire. Very difficult | :23:13. | :23:13. | |
sometimes even for me. I'm South Derbyshire, | :23:14. | :23:14. | |
but it was difficult for me sometimes even | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
understand we were saying. When he turned professional, | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
he trained at the Royal Oak boxing George Balfour is still | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
a member of that club, which has contributed | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
to the exhibition. The first time I ever walked | :23:25. | :23:34. | |
in there was when I was 12, Jack was by the bag | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
there in the ring. The biggest thing that ever, | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
to Swadlincote for boxing. Jack's greatest triumph | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
was to beat Joe Bugner in 1971, to become British | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
heavyweight champion. Graham and Jackie, | :23:49. | :23:49. | |
volunteers with the magic Attic charity, but the exhibition | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
together to celebrate The Bodell family have | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
donated or loaned us other items belonging to Jack, | :23:54. | :24:09. | |
including his shorts, And I think what we've | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
done has done him proud. Jack retired in 1972 | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
and his old sparring partner, Muhammad Ali, came to open the chip | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
shop Jack set up in Coventry. Even when he retired | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
to Coventry, Jack Every Friday, he used | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
a come back for a pint and people would stop him | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
on Swadlincote high Street Jack died in Coventry last | :24:29. | :24:30. | |
November, but his hometown Anywhere you go in | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
this country, when he mentioned Swadlincote, | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
nine times out of ten, somebody will follow it up | :24:41. | :24:41. | |
by saying Jack Bodell. And Jack, during his | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
career, put some of the And he put Swadlincote | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
and South Derbyshire on the map. That's just one of our stories on | :24:48. | :25:10. | |

Gorgeous in east bridge for it. Thank you to David for sending that | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
end. A lovely start, but only cloud did increase and it has been quite | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
benign. Pictures like this as we head through the afternoon. A little | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
bit damp as well. As we head into tonight, a little change. We hold on | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
to be cloud, patchy outbreaks of rain and drizzle as well, all | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
courtesy of the weak front. High pressure in charge. A lot of | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
moisture in the year, that weak front as well, eg bits and pieces of | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
light rain and is all. Because of the cloud as well, it does mean that | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
might be said of the UK, we should be mostly frost free. Temperatures | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
will vary between three and 6 degrees as we had through the early | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
hours of the morning. Patches of mist and fog forming. A little bit | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
like Groundhog Day for tomorrow. Again another cloudy day on the | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
cards. Thick enough at times very few spots of rain. Some of us will | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
stay dry and much like today, the winds will stay fairly gentle. | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
Temperatures back up again. Not doing too bad for January. Highs of | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
seven. I wish I could tell you something else other than it says | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
the same. High pressure still firmly in charge. Repeat the process but | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
Thursday and Friday as well. Light winds, it was acquired out and | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
about. Most of us will be dry and for the overnight period, it should | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
be largely frost free as well. We started up was tempered as a little | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
bit as we head towards the weekend, but still a lot of settled weather. | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
Tonight, tomorrow, after Wednesday, but there is a common for Friday, | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
settled. Driver most of us, if you spot of light rain. Staying with us | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
into the weekend. There are only some anyways you can say is settled, | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
dry, cloudy, light winds. You're doing wearing well very a lot of | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
time by saying the same thing over and over. It's very, very dull. | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
Never mind, you're here to cheer us up. | :27:36. | :27:37. | |
