It's almost six thirty. so it's goodbye from me, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
You're watching East Midlands Today. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight - putting out the welcome mat for | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
There are calls for councils here to accept more teenagers are fleeing | :00:08. | :00:24. | |
the world's trouble spots. Also, sax and sugary drinks. Why are our main | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
sugar producer thinks it will not work. -- attacks on sugary drinks. | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
This is a simplistic approach which looks like a silver bullet which | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
simply does not exist. Anger as caravan owners in Derbyshire are | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
told to leave this site immediately. Tigers' player talking about | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
depression. I did not believe there was anything more from the near | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
future and if that was the case, I wanted to die. -- there was not | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
anything for me in the future. Good evening and welcome | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
to Tuesday's programme with Dominic Heale | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
and me, Anne Davies. First tonight - should we be doing | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
more to help unaccompanied Community groups here | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
certainly think so. Tonight they're asking some | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
of our councils to take in more teenagers fleeing some | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
of the world's most And while the Government appears | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
to be rowing back on a promise to accept more young refugees, | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
we can reveal that the East Midlands could get a new regional team | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
of specialist social workers, Our Social Affairs Correspondent, | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Jeremy Ball, is at Nottingham Trent This is where campaigners | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
are about to unveil details of a detailed report | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
on Nottingham's refugees and a string of recommendations | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
for everyone from councils, A real priority is those | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
"unaccompanied children" - teenagers who arrive | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
here, from as far afield Scattered across Europe | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
in winter, tens of thousands of unaccompanied children, | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
many fending for themselves. The Archbishop of Canterbury says | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
Britain must do more and has warned that child refugees face | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
being exploited or even killed after the Government announced one | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
relocation programme This man told me his 16-year-old | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
brother was stranded in the notorious Jungle near Calais | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
but he has been refused permission to bring Solomon to Nottingham under | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
family reunion rights, so now he is offering | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
to take a DNA test. TRANSLATION: All his | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
friends have left. Like most unaccompanied children, | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
he does not have a family here so he was age assessed to check | :02:41. | :02:52. | |
he is under 18 and taken into care. Today this report from the campaign | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
group Nottingham Citizens has urged the city and county councils to take | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
in more teenagers. It wants them to reach | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
the Government's maximum limit for unaccompanied children - | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
one for every 1400 youngsters It also want those children | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
to get school or college Council say they do not have enough | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
foster carers or Government funding to support more unaccompanied | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
children, and now they are We need to increase the number | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
of placements but also reduce the cost local authorities | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
are ocurring looking We could pool that have some social | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
workers potentially work across various regions, | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
and that enable specialisation The Home Office says it bought more | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
than 900 unaccompanied children from the continent last year, | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
but it needs to balance their needs with local | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
councils capacity to cope. There will be more calls | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
for Government action Let's talk to Helen Murphy, | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
who's one of the organisers here. You're asking for something | :03:52. | :04:04. | |
like a three-fold increase, in the numbers cared | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
for in Nottinghamshire. But councils are struggling to find | :04:07. | :04:07. | |
the money to support In many ways it is a hypothetical | :04:08. | :04:22. | |
question and we really need the Government to act as they promised | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
to bring 3000 over and above got 350. I really believe the City | :04:27. | :04:36. | |
Council and county and charities, community organisations, churches | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
are up for working together and being united on making a difference | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
for the young people. It will put you pressure on Foster and school | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
places? It has a lot of moral obligation to do something and I | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
feel the city with all the different groups are working together -- are | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
up for working together. We have done so much already over the past | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
few years to help resettle young people in this city. | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
The Government is warning encouraging people to copy your | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
alone could incentivise them to make dangerous journeys. -- to come here | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
alone. We want people to make journeys that are legal and safe and | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
the Government have closable routes to make that happen. Thank you. | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
There will be more on the late news title at 10:30pm. -- the Government | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
have closed those routes. Still to come - could HS2 | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
threaten the building of much-needed new homes | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
in a Leicestershire village? It's feared changes to the route | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
of the new rail line could lead to the scrapping of plans for 300 | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
houses in Kegworth. Now for the second of our reports | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
this week on sugar. The company that runs the only sugar | :05:42. | :05:51. | |
factory in the East Midlands is urging the Government | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
to rethink its tax on sugar British Sugar says the controversial | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
levy due to come into force next year hasn't been | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
properly thought out. But health campaigners insist | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
the measure is desperately needed Our health correspondent Rob Sissons | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
has been looking at how The UK sugar tax is aimed | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
at these high-sugar drinks, particularly fizzy drinks, | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
which are popular among teenagers. The Office for Budget Responsibility | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
predicts it'll add 24p a litre to drinks containing more than 8g | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
of sugar per 100ml and 18p a litre to drinks containing more | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
than 5g of sugar per 100ml. It's expected to raise | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
?520million a year. The Government says that money | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
will be spent on sport in school. Supporters of the sugar tax | :06:44. | :06:56. | |
on sugary drinks say it is already encouraging manufacturers | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
to reformulate their products, and targets a key source of sugar, | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
especially among teenagers. High levels of sugar can contribute | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
to excess weight gain, type two diabetes, particularly | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
if you have too much through sugary drinks, | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
and tooth decay as well. Currently we are consuming | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
two to three times more British Sugar, which runs the Newark | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
factory, sees it very differently, The single statistic which I think | :07:20. | :07:29. | |
is most revealing about this is since 2001 consumption per head | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
of sugar has dropped by 15% and since then | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
obesity has spiralled. So there clearly is not a simple | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
link between sugar and obesity. We clearly have a role | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
and I would not suggest anybody We think sugar should be part | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
of a healthy, balanced diet. The levy has some high-profile | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
backers, like the TV The sugar tax was originally | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
announced last year by the then-Chancellor George | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
Osborne. A year is a very long time | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
in politics and more details are now Here's the date to look | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
out for - March 8th. The Government's spring | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
budget which should have It's still due to come into force | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
in April of next year. Conservative Government | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
will ditch it. The King Fund says it has | :08:29. | :08:38. | |
reservations about some of the plans to reform health services, including | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
those in the East Midlands. It's latest report says the changes | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
will provide more services in the community but it warns | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
cutting hospital beds David Pearson who's behind | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
the vision for health and social care across Nottinghamshire insists | :08:51. | :08:59. | |
it is possible to reduce around 200 The Nottingham University Hospital | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
so there at any one time 200 people who could be at home or in another | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
place if there were the right What we need to do is to build those | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
services in the community to be sure everybody has that trust | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
and confidence in the plans. A vigil by school support staff | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
outside Derby's council house At midday, after 24 hours, | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
protesters blew out candles as the vigil opposing wage | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
cuts came to a close. The union Unison says talks | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
with the city council have again failed to reach an agreement, | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
and therefore from next Monday, they're planning another five | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
days of strike action. Tenants at a caravan park | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
in Derbyshire say they've been left Last week letters were sent | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
to residents at Haytop Country Park, telling them to remove | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
their homes and possessions But today we've been told they'll | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
be allowed to go back, after urgent repairs | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
are carried out. What used to be a relaxing | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
holiday home, but the bed, sofa and television have been | :10:14. | :10:22. | |
removed after a letter was sent I had a phone call on Monday | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
the 13th, last week, out of the blue, total shock, | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
saying we had to be off site and take all our belongings, | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
and the gate was going to be locked Pat is one of about 50 | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
people who use this site Dave and Iris, both now | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
in their 80s, have been coming here for 25 years, | :10:49. | :10:57. | |
spending thousands of pounds. But they say it is the emotional | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
cost which is the hardest to bear. I know there are worse things | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
to lose but when it takes the part of your life off t the age we have | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
got, we could still come here and enjoy it, | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
like we have always done. If we have to move we will probably | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
try and find somewhere else but I do not think | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
that is going to be very This is the letter the residents | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
received from the owners, and it clearly says they are required | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
to remove their holiday home and possessions from the park | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
with immediate effect. This afternoon we had a different | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
statement from owners which said they will not be closing the park | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
permanently and they need to carry out urgent repairs, | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
and once those are carried out it I mean, why couldn't | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
they contact, why was there Why couldn't they just | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
tell us all this? Why have they let us go | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
through all of this? And them old people having to suffer | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
all this for nothing. Pat and other residents now | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
want more clarification on what the repairs will | :12:02. | :12:02. | |
mean for them. Still to come this evening - | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
extreme exercise. Why a man with Parkinsons | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
disease is planning to row Robin Buttery will be constantly | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
monitored during the challenge to help researchers find new way | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
of helping others with There are concerns that plans | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
for almost 300 new homes to the HS2 route. | :12:25. | :12:38. | |
scrapped due to changes The new high speed rail route | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
announced in November will go through two housing developments | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
planned for Kegworth. Tonight a public meeting is taking | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
place in the village for people to express their views, | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
and our reporter Navtej Johal This village is no stranger to big | :12:53. | :13:11. | |
transport projects, the more -- the M1 and others have all taken place | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
nearby residents thought they had been spared the worst of the | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
disruption from HS2 which was originally going to go underneath | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
the airport. In November the route was redesigned and the new | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
high-speed rail line will now go around the airport through the edge | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
of Kegworth which means there is no uncertainty over whether to new | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
housing developments which could result in almost 300 new houses | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
being built here will go ahead and it may also affect the creation of | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
some new local sports facilities. The parish council wouldn't believe | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
the overall impact of HS2 in the village could be harmful. -- the | :13:48. | :13:57. | |
parish council leader believes. HS2 will go over the viaduct and | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
that will be the entrance to Kegworth. The railway viaduct with | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
nine trains an hour in each direction. Quite a shame, really. | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
We have heard a range of views on this issue today and the meeting | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
tonight well be the last chance for people in the village to express | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
their views on the issue to the parish council. The consultation on | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
the new route ends on the 9th of March and we will have more on this | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
story later tonight at 10:30pm. The Home Affairs Select Committee | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
has been hearing from Nottinghamshire Police | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
and campaigners about their work tackling sexist street harassment | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
in the county. Last year, Nottinghamshire became | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
the first force in the UK to include Today MPs heard how it's working - | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
with a view to forming Mel Jeffs from Nottingham Women's | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
Centre said it was about protecting women, and not about criminalising | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
men. Women are not going to use this kind | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
of policy for some kind of malicious They ring when they have a real | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
concern, when they feel by reporting that it might help the perpetrator | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
to be stopped before they do something else, | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
when they want some kind of action. We have no experience | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
of woman ringing up In terms of police resources | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
what it is doing is focusing the police on things that need | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
to be dealt with. Investigations are underway | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
after flytippers dumped two lorry loads of rubbish at the side | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
of a road in Leicestershire. The rubbish has been left just off | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
the A47 near Hinckley and according to the local council, | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
it's commercial waste. It was reported on Saturday morning | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
and officers estimate it will cost "Living was just | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
like hell on earth". That's how Leicester Tigers | :15:37. | :15:48. | |
scrum-half Jono Kitto has described his personal experience | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
of depression as a teenager. Now 24, the New Zealander | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
is supporting The Rugby Players' Association 'Lift | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
the Weight' campaign. It's aiming to tackle the stigma | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
surrounding mental health issues. Jono Kitto has been talking | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
to our reporter Victoria Hicks. It is acceptable to say you're | :16:03. | :16:22. | |
struggling and finding it hard. I could go through it with other | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
people and they could support me. To be isolated and on your own is very | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
hard. Jono Kitto supporting the rugby players' Association campaign | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
by sharing his experience of six months of depression when he was 19. | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
I would wake up and think if this is my existence better not want a part | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
of it and I cannot handle it. -- if this is my existence I do not want. | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
I would describe it as hell on earth and did not have any hope there was | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
anything more in the future from me and I thought if that is the case I | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
want to die and I got to the point where I am training any rugby team | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
and getting in the car and crying. Going to university and go to | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
lectures and getting back in the car and crying and that night just | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
feeling absolutely overwhelmed and do not want to be living any more. | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
So I was like, something needs to be spoken about and people need to know | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
so I can get to a place where this is not my reality any more. It to | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
the weight off my shoulders and that I thought I was carrying it alone | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
and there was the one around me who could be laid-back approach that was | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
not the truth of the matter. The moment hope comes back is the moment | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
you start to think, it is worth fighting and worth staying alive and | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
worth going through all the what might first seem be scary process of | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
opening up and being a vulnerable about what you are going through in | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
order to actually give yourself a chance to see what can be changed | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
and what things can get better. Because I have got to the place I am | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
not that afraid of what people think now I am quite happy to share it | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
because if it does help even one person it has done its job, in my | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
opinion. That shows it affects anybody, no matter how tough and | :18:26. | :18:26. | |
strong you are. Coming up, the big build up | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
to Leicester City's champions league showdown in Seville - | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
but we start tonight with Derby County take on Burton | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
Albion this evening - and it marks the return of some very | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
familiar faces to Pride Park. Nigel Clough brings his | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
Burton Albion team here for the first time in their league | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
history, and returns to the club But nothing but praise | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
from the man who replaced him. I have respect and admiration | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
for Nigel Clough, for what he has done and even the job he did here, | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
we applauded it when we came in. He left us with a very good squad | :19:00. | :19:07. | |
and he has got that at Burton. If they can beat Norwich | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
then they come here was Plenty of familiar faces | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
in the Burton team, too. Added spice for a Derby | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
team still smarting Anybody can lose perspective | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
of where we were and where we have been and where we are going | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
and where we are now. We have just got to think, | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
this is the Championship, this is football, you will lose | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
games and sometimes You have just got to dust yourself | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
down, get back onto the training 11th in the Championship, | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
this is all about points. The Rams need results to stay | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
in touch with the play-offs. Now to Leicester City, | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
and the players have arrived, the fans are out in force, too, | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
it's all set for a Champions League Faltering in the league, | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
out of the FA Cup - could tomorrow night be the game | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
to salvage their season? This is the home of Sevilla and fled | :20:10. | :20:27. | |
the city wanted a game to be starting spot them they do not come | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
much tougher than this. -- Leicester. Three European cups in | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
April and that is why they are now in the Champions League and pushing | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
a Barcelona at the top of the Spanish league and Leicester City | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
are struggling to score at all in the Premier League this season but | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
the Champions League has been special for them and on the pitch in | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
this stadium, 42,000 capacity, in training there were scenes of | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
genuine enthusiasm and passion and the desire to get back to something | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
special. And the press conference as they spoke it is clearly see | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
tomorrow as an opportunity. It is a bit strange but it is a game where | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
we can forget about that for one night and if we make sure we put in | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
a good performance we can hopefully use that to kick on and drag | :21:22. | :21:30. | |
ourselves away from it. We play away from the Premier League we play like | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
and for this reason I hope we can show our football. We know they are | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
better than us but we want to fight. Fight is exactly what they will have | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
to do. The champions Elite has been there one bright spot so far in this | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
season, the one thing that has given fans joy. The fans are not healed in | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
expectations, talking to them, they are just hoping to get away on | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
Thursday morning with a bit of pride and bring back a result with | :22:03. | :22:11. | |
something to bring back to Leicester... This is a great team | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
that plays in the stadium and there are the danger the lights might go | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
out on this season altogether tomorrow night. | :22:21. | :22:21. | |
Tim Peake more build-up tomorrow night. -- plenty more build-up. | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
Nottingham Panthers are at home to the Elite League leaders tonight. | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
Panthers host Cardiff Devils, and will move up to 4th place | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
A lot going on in Seville. A little bit of Brit Art on the line there. | :22:36. | :22:44. | |
But we survived. -- break up. A man from Leicester | :22:45. | :22:46. | |
with Young Onset Parkinsons Disease is to row three thousand six | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
hundred miles across Robin Buttery, who was diagnosed | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
just before his 44th birthday, will be monitored | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
throughout the challenge. The information his body provides | :22:54. | :22:55. | |
will enable researchers to study the impacts of extreme exercise | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
on the condition and find Most people would not guess that | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
Robin has a young onset It is a condition that shows | :23:01. | :23:19. | |
itself in different ways, with symptoms including tremors | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
and memory problems. I am very keen for people | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
to understand what Parkinson is and I want them to see how | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
it affects me. I want to do anything that helps | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
Parkinson's move forward To further help our understanding, | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
in June he will leave Leicester behind and as part of this crew | :23:36. | :23:44. | |
sailing across the Indian Ocean. They will start in Australia | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
and travel 3600 miles to Mauritius. Using live video streaming, | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
researchers at Oxford Brookes This will give us a snapshot | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
into what extreme endurance exercise does in Parkinson's and how it | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
influences the symptoms. It's a far cry his day job | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
as a technical instructor at De Montfort University, | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
a role he works in full-time, 18 months on from being diagnosed, | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
just before his 44th birthday. I am under no illusions | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
about the disease and know I am The main thing people have noticed | :24:17. | :24:29. | |
in the past 18 months is the fact I walk with a limp, | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
and sometimes it will slow me down to almost a standstill, | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
it is a bit like walking a porridge. It is hoped the challenge will raise | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
awareness of the condition and the charity Spotlight YOPD, | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
which supports sufferers. The main point behind the row | :24:45. | :24:45. | |
is to raise awareness, collect this unique research data, | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
to inspire other people with Parkinson's to take up | :24:49. | :24:50. | |
the challenge, and fundraiser With up to 85 days at sea ahead, | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
Robin is using his remaining time We wish him all the very best. | :24:54. | :25:17. | |
Any research they can do for something like Parkinson's is | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
brilliant. There is an awful lot going on outside. Indeed we have | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
storm Doris on the way but more going on outside. Indeed we have | :25:28. | :25:28. | |
storm Doris on the way but more on that later. But if you want the | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
sunshine early on you had to get up very early. After sunrise our | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
weather watchers were stumped if they wanted some brightness. Thank | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
you to our weather watchers for those pictures. To watch tomorrow, | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
more rain on the Wii and a a few more bright spots as well. What a | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
contrast to earlier on with lots of cloud and a few bits of rain across | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
the region as well. This is the pressure chart tomorrow, this cold | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
front spanning across the East Midlands and that is starting to | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
bring some rain in our direction. As we have a look at the details for | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
tonight we can see the showers to the north, quite a lot of cloud but | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
relatively mild for the time of year. Through the course of tomorrow | :26:21. | :26:28. | |
we continue to see this band of rain working across the region. Slightly | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
more patchy through the afternoon and in the North we may see some | :26:33. | :26:40. | |
brightness as we go through the afternoon. Then we have this amber | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
warning in place for wind for Thursday and all thanks to Storm | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
Doris. At the moment this is what we think will be happening on Thursday. | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
Around two or 3pm of those bars squeezed together and that is when | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
we're likely to see the strongest winds. On the ground, first thing | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
quite the lot of wet weather around on Thursday but later on that is | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
when the winds start to pick up, gusts of up to 50-60 mph worked in | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
places. The picture is developing so stay tuned to the forecast but if | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
you have plans for Thursday's take extra care and make sure you stay | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
up-to-date with the latest developments with our forecast. | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
What will come after Boris? Ethel? -- Doris. If you want to know more | :27:34. | :27:42. | |
