It's almost 6.30 and you're watching East Midlands Today. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight: Storm Doris blows in, causing damage, | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
Across the region, travel has been badly hit with roads closed, train | :00:09. | :00:20. | |
services halted and cars and buildings damaged. It is even to | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
windy for windmills. I've got a device here to measure wind speed. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
It is showing about 25 at the moment, but it has been blowing to | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
over 40. In other news, calls for safety improvements outside a school | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
after a second pupil is involved in an accident. Plus, one of | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
Leicester's biggest stars comes back to school after more than 25 years. | :00:48. | :00:58. | |
Good evening and welcome to Thursday's programme | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
with Dominic Heale and me Anne Davies. | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
First tonight, Storm Doris made her presence felt today right | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
Gusts reaching 87 miles an hour hit the region causing | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
There have been no trains to and from London, the M1 has been | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
shut and numerous other roads have been closed because of fallen trees. | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
The police and fire Services say they've been inundated with calls | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
but thankfully no-one has been injured. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
In a moment we'll hear from Geeta Pendse with the latest | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
But first our reporter James Roberson, who's been | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
out in the storm today, joins us from Derbyshire. | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
Doesn't look quite as windy now? Yes, it is much calmer here in | :01:32. | :01:53. | |
Derbyshire. The windmills need wind to work of course, but this one did | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
not the kind of wind they had today. In fact, they had everything tied | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
down and their fingers crossed that the famous Derbyshire landmark would | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
not be damaged seriously. Now, the shot you saw earlier of me holding | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
that wind measuring device, the winds here were gusting up to 60 | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
miles an hour, but as you said, the speeds were up to 87 mph, so it was | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
really not surprising there was huge disruption right across the region. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
It was a scene replicated across the region. This tree closed the road | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
for over an hour. It was not just country roads, this road in | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
Nottingham was also closed up the glass blew out of a derelict | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
building. This tree went over in Nottingham also. And a billboard | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
blew down in Leicester. Viewers sent in dozens of pictures. Trees were | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
obviously the biggest victims, it meant that country parks across the | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
East Midlands were closed. But Matlock town also lost a floodlight | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
and even walls went down. This one was a Shire broke. Attraction owners | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
and councils also closed venues before the storm. Because the market | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
Hall in Derby was shut, these two stallholders moved just outside to | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
an empty shop to run their businesses for the day. We are | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
struggling enough at the moment to get all the business because we are | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
small traders and they are in difficult as anyway, so we have to | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
try and be still on the go. I've got all be stuck and I went to the | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
market this morning in Nottingham, everything is fresh and we are open | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
for business. That's what you do. At the window, emergency measures were | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
taken to secure the sales. They did not want a repeat of the disaster in | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
1894, when the sales were blown off, destroying the mill. We have all the | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
breaks we possibly. There's a big strap, so fingers crossed we will be | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
OK. Motorists have been injured by falling trees and a woman was hurt | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
near Chatsworth. Now, businesses and the authorities are looking at the | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
big clear up. Well, we've been looking at disruption across the | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
region's roads, but it has been difficult for all kinds of | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
transport. There's been problems on the motorways. | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
My colleague Geeta Pendse is at Nottingham Train station | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
with the latest on the disruption to transport across the region. | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
There have been serious disruptions for travellers. This evening, a | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
number of lines here and Nottingham station RE the delayed or suspended | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
entirely. Passengers have to work out alternative arrangements. The | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
problems started at around nine this morning when there was damage to | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
overhead wire at St Albans. This meant trains in and out of London | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
were halted. Eventually, East Midlands Trains had to suspend the | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
service entirely to Nottingham and Sheffield. Over in Derby, there were | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
disruptions to services because of reports of fallen trees. As you can | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
see, there are constant updates for passengers who may be war faced | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
delays of several hours. We heard from one passenger whose travel time | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
went from two hours from Loughborough to six hours. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
I had to get off just after Bedford because of a line down, so we | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
managed to get a train back to Bedford and wait for another train | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
to pick us all up and take us back to Loughborough. | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
However, a tree is now on the line, so we have to wait | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
for that to be clear and then we got back | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
on the move to get back to | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
So what has the overall impact to be Storm Doris? | :05:47. | :06:01. | |
Today, we had a number of trees blown down across the network, | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
bringing down overhead equipment in a number of places. Lots of people | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
have been out and about, chopping trees down a re-and enquires are | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
making sure customers are OK getting the ball safely to where they wants | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
to go to. It has been difficult for the customers, I am proud of what my | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
colleagues on the railway have done to make sure everybody got to where | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
they want to safely. There are also problems on the roads earlier, | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
particularly in areas where there have been fallen trees. Southbound | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
on the M1, three lanes were closed between junction 25 and 26, but that | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
has now reopened. It is hoped that all services will resume tomorrow | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
and East Midlands Trains say if you have a chain ticket data for today, | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
it will be valid tomorrow. At least that is one bit of good news! Thank | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
you. Still to come: A fire officer comes | :06:54. | :06:54. | |
up with a new smoke alarm that's more likely to wake | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
up sleeping children. Research has shown many children | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
don't respond to standard alarms, Parents and teachers are calling | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
for safety improvements outside a school in Leicester, | :07:02. | :07:16. | |
after a boy was hit by a car. It's the second accident | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
there in three months. The 13-year-old was taken | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
to hospital yesterday after the collision | :07:22. | :07:22. | |
near St Paul's Catholic Like many schools, at Saint Paul's | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
in Leicester, pick-up and drop-off Two pupils were hit by a car | :07:25. | :07:35. | |
on their way to school in Luckily, neither were | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
seriously injured, but the latest accident yesterday morning | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
has renewed calls for increased I feel tremendously frustrated, | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
really exasperated that despite these things happening, | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
despite children coming to school and despite efforts we go to every | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
day to keep them safe, they can't cross this very, very busy | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
and congested road safely in the Something absolutely needs | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
to be done about it. They've been petitioning | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
for a crossing here for With a primary school | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
are now on the same site, teachers and parents said the road | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
must be made safer as children's For people with | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
children who are in a That would slow the kids down | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
and they could cross If somebody manned it or police | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
were there, that would cut down quite a lot of future | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
accidents, I hope. But the council remains | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
against creating a crossing here, saying footfall is not great | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
enough to justify it. There's a very low number | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
of pupils actually crossing Most pupils have | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
crossed the road before The sort of measures we wish | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
to introduce things like bollards, railings to prevent dangerous | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
parking, people parking on verges. We're also trying to get | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
a school crossing patrol in. The teachers and parents | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
here are determined to keep Unless action is taken they fear | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
the school drop-off will A woman from Nottingham has been | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
jailed after an autistic Nottinghamshire Police and has been | :09:23. | :09:37. | |
displaced following allegations of misconduct. He failed to spot an | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
elderly man had his driving licence revoked. Albert Newman had dementia | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
and went on to cause a fatal accident in October last year. He | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
was driving the wrong way up the M1. Mr Newman and a passenger in a van | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
both died. The policeman was found to have breached the standard | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
professional behaviour in respect of honesty and integrity. It can appeal | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
the panel 's findings. Lincolnshire Police have crushed | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
a car used in hare coursing as part Officers seized a number of vehicles | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
which were used to chase hares The force has carried out similar | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
public displays in the past, to try to stop potential offenders | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
from coming to the county. A woman from Nottingham has been | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
jailed after an autistic man in her care drowned | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
while she was texting on her phone. 29-year-old Nikki Deaney | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
from Sneinton was also making phone calls whilst caring for Majid | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
Akthar. They were on a day trip to Kingsmill | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
Reservoir in September 2012. and a mental age of four, | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
had wandered off. A fire officer who investigated | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
the deaths of six children in Derby Dave Coss worked on the Philpott | :10:43. | :10:55. | |
case, where the children were killed His research has found that younger | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
people tend to respond to alarms which have a lower frequency noise | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
and he's now decided This is how quickly a fire | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
can rip through a room. Within minutes, it causes | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
complete devastation. In 2012, Dave Cross | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
was investigating what happened in the Philpott case, | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
in which six children died in an arson attack after alarms | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
failed to wake them. One of the problems that hit | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
the investigation team was that all six of the children that had | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
died were Even though a smoke | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
detector was present at the scene and had | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
operated during the fire, none of the children had woke | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
to the smoke alarm or tried to The case spurred Dave | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
on to look at why the children may not have | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
woken up and threw three years of research, | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
he realised that although | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
effective for adults, This is the traditional | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
smoke alarm being Now, their mother tries | :11:57. | :12:04. | |
out the new alarm. And immediately, | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
all four get straight Just the thought that what we've got | :12:11. | :12:18. | |
in the house doesn't work properly, that something | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
like this that will give The more people that can | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
test them the better. It's quite heart-wrenching | :12:28. | :12:40. | |
when you see children die in a house fire and it's even more upsetting | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
when you think you could have prevented | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
that from happening. And at the very least, | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
this may be one of the items we can put in place that | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
will stop that in future. Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
are now appealing for volunteers to try out the new alarm, | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
which will hopefully help to protect Still to come - back to school | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
for Kasabian's lead singer. Tom Meighan was there | :12:58. | :13:07. | |
to open a new building. The first time he's been back | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
to his old primary for 25 years. Two of our Conservative | :13:10. | :13:20. | |
MPs have clashed over whether Britain should take more | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
unaccompanied child refugees. Some of our councils are caring | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
for dozens of youngsters who've fled But the Government's been accused | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
of failing to take its fair share of vulnerable children who've | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
arrived in Europe alone. And today's there's been | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
a passionate debate Our Social Affairs Correspondent, | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
Jeremy Ball, has been Why now? Because some MPs are | :13:40. | :13:55. | |
extremely angry about the ending of what is known as the dump scheme, | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
which was expected to bring 3000 unaccompanied children to the UK. In | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
the end, it looks like only 350 will come. The minister said that is | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
because it was a magnet, and bringing youngsters to a watery | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
grave. He was supported by the Derbyshire MP Pauline Laffan. | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
Why aren't the French doing anything about it? | :14:20. | :14:20. | |
Why aren't the French dealing with that situation? | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
Lots of people live there quite safely, so why are we worrying | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
about us doing this when it should be the French in that situation? | :14:32. | :14:39. | |
What response did she get? The Loughborough MP Nicky Morgan said | :14:40. | :14:48. | |
many of these children have a legal right to come to the UK and now | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
suffering further trauma, including trafficking, sexual exploitation and | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
freezing conditions as a direct result of the Government's failure | :14:58. | :14:58. | |
to bring here. There is scope in this debate a | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
thing of our moral obligations and compassion. As a parent, I know that | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
the member for Derbyshire said let us hope the situation these children | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
are running from never arises here. Of course we hope that. But it | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
could. And I know, as a parent, that if my son need a refuge, I would | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
want to know the world was offering him about safety. Should give the | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
Government credit though for what happened after the closure of the | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
Jungle Camp in Calais last year. She said they helped large numbers of | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
unaccompanied children in a short period of time at that point and | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
said it showed that where there is a political will, the system can work. | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
Next, the latest in our week of special reports on sugar. | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
Tonight we hear from a doctor who's been investigating childhood obesity | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
for years and is convinced the sugar tax on soft drinks is worth trying. | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
Change Dr Dilip Nathan says most of us are eating too much sugar - | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
way over official recommended amounts. | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
Our Health Correspondent Rob Sissons has more. | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
And these East Midlands schoolchildren do look | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
not overweight, never mind obese, do they? | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
67 years on and England has a childhood obesity epidemic. | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
10% of 4-5 -year-olds, 19% of 10-11 -year-olds are obese. | :16:14. | :16:25. | |
Doctor Nathan is a community paediatrician in | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
He says taxing sugary soft drinks has to be worth a go. | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
If you look at what young people consume, we know | :16:37. | :16:38. | |
that about a third of their sugar intake comes from sugary drinks and | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
we know they are consuming too much sugar already. | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
We've not proven it will definitely work, but we have to | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
The official advice is that added sugars should not make | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
up more than 5% of your daily calorie intake. | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
That's about 30 grams of sugar a day, or seven | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
Laura in Derbyshire reckons she's consuming far less | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
She's eliminated processed foods from her diet and | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
I'm not going to say that it wasn't difficult for the first few weeks | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
and I craved sugar, got a bit shaky, I was bad-tempered and I was looking | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
She's lost more than a stone and her husband, | :17:23. | :17:33. | |
who followed soon after, has seen a difference as well. | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
Doctor Nathan says it does not have to be that | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
Many of those could reduce sugary snacks. | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
The trends nowadays are for teenagers to spend more time | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
in their room, often on computer games and telephones and when they | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
do that, they unconsciously, without realising, | :17:51. | :17:51. | |
reach out for a drink or | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
If you can avoid those, these invisible calories, you can | :17:54. | :18:03. | |
Colin's on his way back from sunny Seville with | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
Yes and Leicester are back and with real hope. | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
The Premier League Champions showed SOME fight and heart in Spain | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
so tonight their European dream is still alive. | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
The Foxes did lose 2-1 but Jamie Vardy, this time, | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
came to the party AND with a crucial away goal to stun Seville. | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
Goal! Jamie Vardy's first Champions League goal. That was all they | :18:23. | :18:45. | |
wanted. These fans who are troubled in their thousands buying, begging | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
and black ink to give that they were. A bit of pride at a | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
problematic time. They were made to wait, however. The first half was | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
left at their most ordinary. Saville took the lead and it could be much | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
worse. The Foxes showed signs of the second half life only to concede | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
again and looked doomed them from somewhere, they found some spirit | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
and they found that goal. Vardy's first this year could have a huge | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
impact on all these players. I felt the change when we arrived in the | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
dressing room. The togetherness. And like you said, Jamie Vardy has his | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
goal on and he deserved it tonight and he works hard and it was a | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
nightmare for their defenders. Hardly anyone comes to this place | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
and winds, so a defeat to be expected, and the away goal? That is | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
special and keeps things alive. Leicester City fans were sat up | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
there in the top area, celebrating as hard as they could. 2-1! We've | :19:50. | :20:01. | |
scored in 2017, so it is a good start. After we scored, it was a | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
completely different side playing out there. My voice is gone! A | :20:07. | :20:20. | |
winner for the fans, so relief? The look was on your side. We had to | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
keep going. Now we know our focus is on the Liverpool match, because it | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
could be a turning point. We must make a good match. For three | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
quarters of an hour, Leicester found something good from the past so let | :20:37. | :20:37. | |
us hope they keep hold of it. At Derby County manager | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
Steve McClaren said today Despite a week of disappointing | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
results he says the Rams still have a chance | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
of making the Play-Offs. We nearly got to the 50-point mark | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
and what has happened is we shot right up the league on a great run | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
and all expectations started to rise and we failed to sustain | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
that, which is normal. We just have to quickly | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
find another run. Now - it'll be one of the East | :20:57. | :21:08. | |
Midlands Sports highlights of 2017. A crowd of 20,000 is expected | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
to see some of the worlds The event's been officially | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
launched this afternoon, Yes, it is a sport that Britain are | :21:16. | :21:34. | |
leading the world in and more people are taking part. All ages and both | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
sexes, and that is why there is such a buzz about this event at the | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
beginning of September. A short time ago, I spoke to the world's best | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
about the event in Nottingham. It is good when it is in the heart of the | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
city and I like it when the triathlon... It makes the city. And | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
hopefully that will be the case in September, with the mixed relay cup | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
and not ago will become a triathlon city for a date and everyone will | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
come down and watch and enjoy it. It is exciting and it has been a long | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
time coming to have one of these races in the UK and Nottingham | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
should be a great venue for it. Right in the city centre and | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
hopefully we'll get fantastic crowds on the day to watch what should be a | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
spectacle. It is amazing. Triathlon is growing every day. So many people | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
are falling in love with it and to be able to showcase it in a relay | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
format, it is new, exciting, fast and furious. And that is just for us | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
and the spectators get to be a part as well. It will happen over there | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
by the cricket and football grounds, longer Nottingham's Victoria | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
embankment. As well as the elite event which will be shown live on | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
this -- BBC One, it will be for all The Leicester rock band Kasabian | :22:50. | :23:00. | |
might have played at Glastonbury and won many awards, | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
but today, the lead singer had a particularly appreciative audience | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
when he went back to his local Tom Meighan was there | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
to open a new building, the first time he's been back | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
to his old school for 25 years. And he told us very | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
little had changed. It was a morning assembly | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
with a difference, as frontman Tom opened a new building | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
at the school for For the lead singer of one | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
of the region's best loved bands, it was a morning | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
full of memories. Really emotional as well, because | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
just walking the corridors... Tom's old teaching | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
assistants, who still work at the school, said | :23:48. | :24:01. | |
he was a lovable rogue. He would go up to the path | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
to the Headlands building, doing the Moonwalk | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
and doing his twirls. He would get told off | :24:08. | :24:09. | |
and not being in line. He always said he would be | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
a singer like We've seen him play Glastonbury | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
and all these massive gigs in front of thousands of people | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
and I think he's been more nervous today than I've ever | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
seen him before. The head teacher is hoping | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
he will inspire today's pupils. The children need | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
to see that there is somebody who comes | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
to their school who has done something with their life | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
and it gives them that enthusiasm | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
to do things themselves. I'm a bit surprised | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
he actually came to THIS school, because you would have | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
expected someone famous to go to a different school, | :24:44. | :24:45. | |
somewhere posh or something. For Tom, even at primary school, | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
it was all about the I played football, | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
but I didn't really So they used to clap and say, | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
Tom, pass the ball! So, from Glastonbury | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
to his old primary. For Tom and the pupils | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
here, it will be Work hard and you can be a rock | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
star! Storm Doris did cause some trouble | :25:13. | :25:38. | |
earlier today and we still have that amber warning in place. Until around | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
eight and this evening for the win. Take extra care on the road even | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
though those gusts are starting to ease off. We had a bit of a weather | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
bomb earlier. That is where the pressure loses and goes down by 24 | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
millibars in 24 hours. It went down by 30 millibars. It was a much of a | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
bomb site for these sheep, but elsewhere in the East Midlands, we | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
saw quite a lot of damage. Thank you to our weather watchers for sending | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
these photos. Where did East Midlands figure in the general | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
scheme? Well, in Wales we saw the strongest gusts today. Also the Peak | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
District and parts of Nottinghamshire. Over 70 mph in | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
Buxton earlier. So it was very windy. This is where Storm Doris | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
tracked earlier. She's just about out into the North Sea now. Less | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
breezy conditions over the course of tonight. But we now have a Yellow | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
Warning for highs, particularly Derbyshire. Take care. Looking at | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
the detail, we will see breezy weather, showers as well and lows of | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
around 2 degrees. As we go toward tomorrow morning, what a difference | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
a day makes. We will still have a fewer showers, but quite a bright | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
day. Noticeably cooler with highs of seven Ivan 8 degrees. Some sunshine | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
as well. Looking toward Saturday and Sunday, wet and windy on Saturday, | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
but a little respite on Sunday with some more brightness on the way. | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
Still some lively weather in the mix. Stay tuned to the forecast in | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
the next few days. A bit of brightness in there as well. | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
Goodbye to the weather bomb. Explosive psycho Genesis. Crikey! We | :27:32. | :27:43. | |
don't know what to say about that. I will be back at 10:30pm. Goodbye. | :27:44. | :27:46. |
