:00:00. > :00:10.Tonight - ?90 million to boost this region's economy.
:00:11. > :00:22.A day after the budget, Chancellor Philip Hammond fires up the middle
:00:23. > :00:24.and engine. Huge centres of successful entrepreneurial small
:00:25. > :00:34.businesses and we are backing them all the way. The Nottinghamshire
:00:35. > :00:40.woman who uncovered the national obvious orders an enquiry.
:00:41. > :00:44.Protesters and some tough questions over its plan to end children's
:00:45. > :00:49.heart surgery here in the East Midlands. And find out why boxing
:00:50. > :01:00.legend Frank Bruno is throwing his weight behind this boxing school.
:01:01. > :01:04.Welcome to Thursday's programme with Dominic Heale
:01:05. > :01:09.First tonight, the chancellor Phillip Hammond has announced
:01:10. > :01:14.a 90 million pound cash injection for this region.
:01:15. > :01:16.The move, to boost our economy, has been widely welcomed.
:01:17. > :01:18.It's predicted thousands of jobs could be created.
:01:19. > :01:21.The money will go on a variety of projects, including
:01:22. > :01:23.regenerating Derby City Centre, creating a space park in Leicester,
:01:24. > :01:25.improving road links around Loughborough and improving town
:01:26. > :01:34.In a moment we'll have local reaction to the news,
:01:35. > :01:36.but first Sarah Teale looks at exactly where the
:01:37. > :01:44.The Chancellor's visit to the Midlands today may have been
:01:45. > :01:45.overshadowed by the uproar over national insurance
:01:46. > :01:52.But Philip Hammond was here to shine the spotlight
:01:53. > :01:55.on a ?390 million pound investment into the Midlands Engine -
:01:56. > :01:58.the equivalent to the Northern Powerhouse, it's the government's
:01:59. > :02:00.plan for boosting economic growth in the region.
:02:01. > :02:09.From that pot the East Midlands will receive ?90 million pounds.
:02:10. > :02:15.Pal tell you the good news, I used to live in Nottingham, I don't just
:02:16. > :02:19.think about the West Midlands, I know the East Midlands as a
:02:20. > :02:23.powerhouse small business. Across the East Midlands, Nottingham,
:02:24. > :02:25.Leicester, huge centres of successful entrepreneurial small
:02:26. > :02:26.businesses and we're backing them the way.
:02:27. > :02:34.The cash is being spread across the region.
:02:35. > :02:36.One of the biggest spends, almost ?13 millions,
:02:37. > :02:38.will go towards developing a Space Park in Leicester
:02:39. > :02:41.which will become a national hub for for research and learning.
:02:42. > :02:43.And ?12 million will be spent on improving roads around
:02:44. > :02:45.Loughborough including the A512 and the M1 junction 23.
:02:46. > :02:49.That will unlock land for 4,000 new homes.
:02:50. > :02:52.Derby is set to receive more than 11 million pounds to regenerate
:02:53. > :02:54.the city centre and fund a replacement performance venue
:02:55. > :03:00.And two million pounds has been allocated towards
:03:01. > :03:02.a new museum and attraction at Derwent Valley Mills
:03:03. > :03:09.In Nottinghamshire, some ?8 million pounds is going towards regenerating
:03:10. > :03:14.town centres and redeveloping Nottingham Castle.
:03:15. > :03:16.And ?10 million is being spent on refurbishing
:03:17. > :03:18.the Broadmarsh car park and bus station.
:03:19. > :03:20.While those are the headline figures, many more millions
:03:21. > :03:22.are being pumped into other projects around the region.
:03:23. > :03:24.Quentin Rayner has spent the day gathering reaction
:03:25. > :03:37.Sherwood Forest's heroes became legends by handing out bounty to the
:03:38. > :03:42.needy. This afternoon the local clothes than it was walking in the
:03:43. > :03:45.outlaws footsteps with with ?63 million on his back pocket to boost
:03:46. > :03:49.growth in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire. Half a million quid to
:03:50. > :03:53.help the new visitor centre in the forest on the boat will go towards
:03:54. > :03:59.regenerating sites across the two counties. Big vote of confidence, it
:04:00. > :04:05.will help us create over 6500 jobs, ?150 million of private investment,
:04:06. > :04:08.over 6000 homes and 2000 learners. It's a good result for other local
:04:09. > :04:11.enterprise partnership, one of the biggest allocations in the country
:04:12. > :04:15.and I think that demonstrates the government have confidence we can
:04:16. > :04:19.deliver the jobs and growth they want. The East Midlands's is less is
:04:20. > :04:23.only a quarter of the overall growth fund for the Midlands but the
:04:24. > :04:26.minister doesn't swallow the idea that this side of the region is the
:04:27. > :04:29.poor relation. The idea that the government picks winners between
:04:30. > :04:33.different regions of the country is nonsense. We are investing in the
:04:34. > :04:37.East Midlands and the Midlands and Yorkshire and Humber and the Midwest
:04:38. > :04:43.because we're absolutely genuine when we say we want to create an
:04:44. > :04:48.economy that works for. His colleague, Marcus John says space
:04:49. > :04:52.technology with Leicester at its hub was crucial to the UK's growth, so
:04:53. > :04:55.there was ?1 million for an extension of the National space
:04:56. > :05:00.centre and ?30 million for a space park in the city. Another million
:05:01. > :05:05.pounds is available for road improvements. We have to look at the
:05:06. > :05:10.enterprise last month and it's backed up with some real substantial
:05:11. > :05:13.funding, ?26 million, so I really significantly because we have money
:05:14. > :05:17.to be behind things. Sherwood Forest's new centre should be built
:05:18. > :05:20.by next spring, it's unclear when other projects will get going.
:05:21. > :05:22.Our political editor Tony Roe is here.
:05:23. > :05:25.So we heard last night from MPs who feared the East Midlands
:05:26. > :05:27.would be a junior partner in the Midlands engine.
:05:28. > :05:38.I think so because if you look at the figures, ?90 million is quite a
:05:39. > :05:44.lot when you take what each individual area gets. Derbyshire are
:05:45. > :05:47.Nottinghamshire and Derby and Nottingham, they get more than any
:05:48. > :05:53.other part of the Midlands as a whole, more than Greater Birmingham.
:05:54. > :05:56.And the Leicester and Leicestershire partnership, they get more than
:05:57. > :05:59.Stoke and Staffordshire, so if you look at it like that, we've done
:06:00. > :06:04.quite well and also remember that the chairman of the Midlands engine
:06:05. > :06:08.is John peace, he's from Nottingham, so he will have the East Midlands's
:06:09. > :06:12.interests at heart. This funding announcement is for four years but a
:06:13. > :06:17.lot of these projects will last a lot longer than that. They've got
:06:18. > :06:21.money to spend on where the project should go and we're talking about
:06:22. > :06:24.infrastructure in particular roads and transport. Midland Main line
:06:25. > :06:27.electrification is still on their list. We haven't had a confirmation
:06:28. > :06:33.from the government yet that is going ahead but still on their list.
:06:34. > :06:36.Many road schemes, not just the ?12 million near junction 23 because the
:06:37. > :06:40.roads do need some work doing to them. There are so many pinch
:06:41. > :06:46.points. I was out today filming for Sunday politics at a haulage company
:06:47. > :06:49.and they are saying it causes them so many problems because they never
:06:50. > :06:51.know when the delays will happen and it costs them time and money. Thanks
:06:52. > :06:55.very much. The former Nottingham social
:06:56. > :06:58.worker who uncovered a child migration scandal,
:06:59. > :07:00.says "torture, rape and slavery" were covered up
:07:01. > :07:02.at the highest levels. Margaret Humphreys has been giving
:07:03. > :07:04.evidence to the "Independent Inquiry Our Social Affairs Correspondent,
:07:05. > :07:20.Jeremy Ball, reports The smiling faces of British
:07:21. > :07:25.children who were shipped across the Empire but today the National
:07:26. > :07:27.enquiry had they were deported and raped and this was the most
:07:28. > :07:32.catastrophic child abuse legacy in living memory. Look at the
:07:33. > :07:38.violations that we've heard them talk about two hours. Kidnapping,
:07:39. > :07:44.sexual abuse in the UK before they were sent, before they were sent!
:07:45. > :07:48.Starting all over again in various institutions within the
:07:49. > :07:51.Commonwealth. Margaret's 30-year quest for justice prompted this
:07:52. > :07:56.feature film. Today she described how victims were stripped of their
:07:57. > :08:00.identity, some were flogged just for singing British nursery rhymes. The
:08:01. > :08:02.Inquirer had how she set up the child migrants trust are
:08:03. > :08:06.Nottinghamshire after victims had been told they were orphans and
:08:07. > :08:09.discovered it wasn't true. One mother went to visit a children's
:08:10. > :08:14.home as her son was being taken away. He said as the train pulled
:08:15. > :08:19.out she was screaming and crying, get the children off, get the
:08:20. > :08:23.children off. Stop the train. Her boy put his fist at the window and
:08:24. > :08:28.shouted I'll never forget you, ma'am. Doctor Humphreys told enquiry
:08:29. > :08:32.that my children were selected for migration to preserve the British
:08:33. > :08:37.Empire's racial unity. She said many were used as slave labour on farms.
:08:38. > :08:40.Margaret Humphreys told enquiry that record is about children were
:08:41. > :08:47.deliberately destroyed. Social workers raised concerns and they
:08:48. > :08:48.were ignored and her charity is now reunited well over 1000 child
:08:49. > :08:53.migrants with their families. Still to come - a host
:08:54. > :08:56.of golden daffodils - All spied by our growing army
:08:57. > :09:02.of weather watchers. Sara's standing
:09:03. > :09:10.by with our forecast. A man has been airlifted to hospital
:09:11. > :09:13.with serious injuries after a collision involving six
:09:14. > :09:16.vehicles on the A1. The crash happened just before 8
:09:17. > :09:19.this morning on the northbound It's thought to have
:09:20. > :09:24.involved several cars, One of the lorries,
:09:25. > :09:28.which was carrying a shipping A man who was trapped
:09:29. > :09:32.in the wreckage, has been taken The road's been closed in both

:09:37. > :09:41.found fatally injured in the street outside Leicester Railway Station
:09:42. > :09:44.had been stabbed to death. Officers believe the victim,
:09:45. > :09:46.who hasn't been formally identified He was found shortly after midnight
:09:47. > :09:50.yesterday on London Road. A 30 year old Leicester man
:09:51. > :09:52.was arrested on suspicion of murder yesterday afternoon
:09:53. > :10:02.and remains in custody. NHS England is facing tough
:10:03. > :10:06.questioning tonight from campaigners fighting to save the East Midlands
:10:07. > :10:11.children's heart surgery unit. Tonight's public consultation event
:10:12. > :10:16.into the plans to close the unit at Glenfield Hospital started half
:10:17. > :10:18.an hour ago. Protestors have also gathered
:10:19. > :10:20.outside as there's been criticism that everyone who wanted to go
:10:21. > :10:25.could get tickets. We'll be hearing from our health
:10:26. > :10:27.correspondent Rob Sissons in a moment but first how have
:10:28. > :10:31.we got to this point - there have been so many twists and turn -
:10:32. > :10:42.here's how it all began. Question has been hanging over the
:10:43. > :10:47.future of Leicester getting children's heart surgery unit for 20
:10:48. > :10:52.years. It follows the heart scandal in Bristol, where high rates of
:10:53. > :10:55.babies died after heart operations in the 80s and 90s. The hard-hitting
:10:56. > :11:04.report that followed led to demands for fewer bigger centres bringing
:11:05. > :11:08.expertise together and controversial choices were avoided. A review is
:11:09. > :11:13.being carried out across England and there is speculation that at least
:11:14. > :11:17.four on the country's 11 children's heart units may stop operations. In
:11:18. > :11:21.Leicester, this intent to the streets and they went to the top.
:11:22. > :11:28.Their wares celebrity backing, thousands of people filled in
:11:29. > :11:32.consultation forms. With the world-famous service alongside the
:11:33. > :11:37.heart unit, they felt upbeat but other cities were fighting two.
:11:38. > :11:42.Proved winners. Our reward is staying! CHEERING
:11:43. > :11:48.. Leicester and Leeds were losers. Also tonight, ending children's
:11:49. > :11:51.heart surgery in the East Midlands. The experts defend their decision.
:11:52. > :11:57.By having bigger teams of surgeons doing more cases in the centre, we
:11:58. > :12:02.can maintain a high quality service in the future. After challenges, the
:12:03. > :12:05.Health Secretary eventually overturned the reviews findings. The
:12:06. > :12:10.outcome on the safe and sustainable review was based on a flawed
:12:11. > :12:15.analysis. Another review but with NHS England proposing to end surgery
:12:16. > :12:18.in Leicester and at the Royal Brompton in London, the East
:12:19. > :12:22.Midlands's fight was back on. To bring us right up to date, that
:12:23. > :12:29.consultation meeting going on this evening, robbers they are now. Good
:12:30. > :12:33.evening. Passions running very high here in Leicester, so many people
:12:34. > :12:37.care about the future of children's heart surgery in Leicester which has
:12:38. > :12:42.been under threat for so many years, we've come to expect the unexpected
:12:43. > :12:45.in this saga. The meeting which is happening out there in one of the
:12:46. > :12:50.rooms at Leicester Tigers is being streamed live on the Internet. Spent
:12:51. > :12:55.quite a lot of time explaining the ground rules. One of the reasons for
:12:56. > :12:59.that is because there is always the risk of temper is becoming a little
:13:00. > :13:03.bit frayed in all of this. I've been to speak to one family at Coalville
:13:04. > :13:07.in Leicestershire and I told to the mother of a little boy who is in the
:13:08. > :13:11.meeting behind me and she explained why she cares so much about the
:13:12. > :13:18.future of the hard service in Leicester. I'm Jess Whitehouse, my
:13:19. > :13:21.son was born 11 weeks ago and we discovered he had down syndrome and
:13:22. > :13:25.as a direct result of that he also had a heart condition where he had
:13:26. > :13:31.two large holes in his hand. Glenfield heart unit, I'm eternally
:13:32. > :13:33.grateful to them and without them we wouldn't be here today. I'm
:13:34. > :13:37.disgusted there is a threat to the heart unit. The standard of care
:13:38. > :13:40.there is absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I'm very passionate
:13:41. > :13:48.about this, so much so that last month myself I were to donate 50
:13:49. > :13:51.hand a petition. I do feel the campaign will be successful because
:13:52. > :14:00.I think if it goes to a fair panel there is no way they can justify
:14:01. > :14:03.closing the unit. A short time ago I spoke to someone from NHS England
:14:04. > :14:07.and ask them what they were trying to achieve by all of this. The
:14:08. > :14:12.reason why we're here today is that we've developed initial proposals to
:14:13. > :14:16.the consequences of how services should be delivered. We are now out
:14:17. > :14:20.to consultation and we are here in Leicester very much to listen to the
:14:21. > :14:23.public and very interested to know whether these proposals make sense.
:14:24. > :14:28.Campaigners don't think they make sense and many suspect this process
:14:29. > :14:31.is rigged. I would definitely say this process is not rigged. There
:14:32. > :14:37.are no predetermined numbers of centres with NHS England. What we
:14:38. > :14:44.remain very firm about is that having spent a lot of time in
:14:45. > :14:48.consultation with charities, with patients, with professionals in
:14:49. > :14:54.developing the standards, we do need to implement them so that we can
:14:55. > :14:58.provide the best possible care. Let's have a chat with some of the
:14:59. > :15:03.people who haven't got tickets, they are not at the meeting but they are
:15:04. > :15:08.outside making their point. Sally, you went to the unit at Glenfield a
:15:09. > :15:11.few years ago. Our twin sons were eight weeks premature on one of them
:15:12. > :15:15.had a suspected hole in their hearts so he was referred to Glenfield and
:15:16. > :15:22.had a couple of visits. Thankfully everything was OK? Fantastic
:15:23. > :15:26.treatment and fantastic care. Do you not buy the argument that fewer
:15:27. > :15:32.bigger centres would save more lives. The fact it was local for us
:15:33. > :15:37.took some concern out of it and it was a fantastic unit. Some deals
:15:38. > :15:42.here is Tom, why are you here? I oppose the closure of the heart
:15:43. > :15:45.unit. Out here right now standing in solidarity with all of the people
:15:46. > :15:50.that have been unable to register for this event. They called it a
:15:51. > :15:54.public consultation. You're not impressed with the organisation?
:15:55. > :15:57.There was a demonstration a few weeks ago that had two dozen people
:15:58. > :16:02.just in Leicester, the fact they have a room for 150 people is not
:16:03. > :16:08.good enough. Quick word with Darren. What do you think? You wanted to
:16:09. > :16:14.stay? Of course, the distances would be too great if this unit is closed
:16:15. > :16:17.and it's a symptom of a wider problem to privatise the NHS. We
:16:18. > :16:18.don't want to see patients go to Birmingham, that's the message from
:16:19. > :16:23.people here. Two men have been found guilty
:16:24. > :16:26.of conspiring to commit fraud by telling businesses
:16:27. > :16:28.they were selling them halal lamb Mahmudur Rohman and Kamal Rahman
:16:29. > :16:32.imported the cheaper They sold it to dozens of customers
:16:33. > :16:37.in the East Midlands for almost double the price,
:16:38. > :16:52.making a profit of hundreds These two men were involved in
:16:53. > :16:57.selling meat on a big scale. In court today, Kamal Rahman and
:16:58. > :17:03.Mahmudur Rohman were found guilty of running a fraudulent operation. They
:17:04. > :17:07.were based in Peterborough but it sold meat to restaurants, takeaways
:17:08. > :17:14.and butchers here in Leicestershire and beyond. The men told customers,
:17:15. > :17:19.like this butchers, that the meat was boneless leg of lamb but it was
:17:20. > :17:22.actually Turkey, much cheaper, which they then sold for double the price.
:17:23. > :17:26.There maybe some people watching this at home who are thinking, hang
:17:27. > :17:30.on a minute, he's a butcher, how could you not tell the difference
:17:31. > :17:36.between what is lamb meat and what turkey meat, what would you say to
:17:37. > :17:40.that? We never chop them, we never cut them for customers. We don't
:17:41. > :17:45.know what the meat looks like and it's very young but the colour of
:17:46. > :17:55.the meat is different. If you look at it, it's just read lamb meat. You
:17:56. > :18:02.can't tell. This is actually some of the turkey meat that was sold off to
:18:03. > :18:06.a local butchers as halal lamb meat. Authorities raised concerns when
:18:07. > :18:10.meat was tested in the East Midlands area in 2013 after the horse meat
:18:11. > :18:16.scandal. That testing revealed that meat in the region was not what it
:18:17. > :18:24.had been labelled as. Leicester City Council's investigation linked the
:18:25. > :18:28.need to the company. Any reaction? No. The judge told the men their
:18:29. > :18:35.crime was a serious matter. They will be sentenced next month.
:18:36. > :18:46.Still to come - tram 222 gets a new name
:18:47. > :18:48.It's named after an inspirational couple whose work has touched
:18:49. > :18:54.the lives and hearts of so many people.
:18:55. > :19:01.That tram naming coming up after the sport.
:19:02. > :19:04.Starting with cricket and straight into the action because THIS is how
:19:05. > :19:08.Nottinghamshire's Alex Hales was finally fit to play for England
:19:09. > :19:11.and promptly scored his fifth one day century.
:19:12. > :19:21.This six a stunning way to cross the line.
:19:22. > :19:24.He finally fell for a 110 at over a run every ball.
:19:25. > :19:27.After a month and a half out - and doubts over his form -
:19:28. > :19:30.Some quick lines from our football clubs.
:19:31. > :19:33.Leicester City are back from warm weather training in Dubai -
:19:34. > :19:35.still no official word on the expected appointment
:19:36. > :19:38.Nottingham Forest's visit to Burton will be an "emotional occasion"
:19:39. > :19:40.according to Brewers manager Nigel Clough.
:19:41. > :19:42.He was heavily linked with the Forest job,
:19:43. > :19:43.And Derby County have lost midfielder Bradley
:19:44. > :19:46.They go to promotion chasing Brighton tomorrow.
:19:47. > :19:48.It's Badminton's equivalent of Wimbledon -
:19:49. > :19:50.the All England Championships - and Nottingham's Chris Adcock,
:19:51. > :19:53.along with wife and partner Gabby is through to the Mixed Doubles
:19:54. > :19:56.This afternoon they got past Singapore's Xu Chen
:19:57. > :20:12.It's our home event but the history and everything behind it is amazing.
:20:13. > :20:16.In terms of playing an event is the best one for us, incredibly exciting
:20:17. > :20:19.when you get to this point in the calendar year. It's obviously better
:20:20. > :20:20.if you do well, so hopefully we can have a long week.
:20:21. > :20:22.Finally, you'll remember Marcellus Baz - the winner of BBC
:20:23. > :20:28.He runs a boxing school in Nottingham helping youngsters
:20:29. > :20:34.But he's had a bit of a battle lately trying to finance
:20:35. > :20:38.Well today he got a big boost from sporting royalty.
:20:39. > :20:40.Former World Heavyweight Champion Frank Bruno came to visit,
:20:41. > :20:52.The Nottingham School of boxing is absolutely buzzing here and why
:20:53. > :20:56.wouldn't it be, one of the two Legends of the sport this year and
:20:57. > :20:59.will speak to him in a second. Marcellus Baz, where are you in your
:21:00. > :21:04.mission to keep the Nottingham School of boxing in a permanent
:21:05. > :21:10.home? We are still raising funds, we've got absolutely magnificent
:21:11. > :21:15.sport from our community and we are in talks with the Heritage lottery
:21:16. > :21:19.and sport England and we are optimistic, we're really excited. We
:21:20. > :21:23.want to make it our permanent home. How exciting is to have Frank Bruno
:21:24. > :21:27.here? It's absolutely magnificent, words can't explain it. This was my
:21:28. > :21:32.childhood role model. By Kizzire to support the cause and you've been in
:21:33. > :21:37.the ring with him. Did you ever think you'd be in the ring with
:21:38. > :21:41.Frank Bruno? Quite honestly no. I wouldn't think I would be sparring
:21:42. > :21:45.with Frank Bruno. Very good experience. I can imagine it was.
:21:46. > :21:50.That's something to tell a story for a long time to come! Let speak to
:21:51. > :21:53.the man himself, Mr Frank Bruno. Pleasure to meet you. Justin Beaver
:21:54. > :22:01.going on there! How did you first come into contact
:22:02. > :22:07.with Marcellus Baz and are Nottingham School boxing? A man
:22:08. > :22:11.working at the Frank Bruno foundation got in touch with
:22:12. > :22:16.Marcellus Baz and trying to swap ideas. What do you make of the work
:22:17. > :22:20.that Marcellus Baz does here? It's very good, with the youngsters
:22:21. > :22:23.getting them off the street and getting them involved with
:22:24. > :22:27.physicality and manners and if they're going through mental health
:22:28. > :22:30.problems, come down there, let off some steam, go out and feel
:22:31. > :22:33.brand-new. How important is it for boxing and the sport's future that
:22:34. > :22:40.people like Marcellus Baz give up their time? It's very nice, needs to
:22:41. > :22:45.happen all the way round the country to get some discipline amongst kids,
:22:46. > :22:48.getting fitness instead of playing computers. You must be hoping this
:22:49. > :22:53.place finds the permanent home and can pay the bill. Hopefully, give
:22:54. > :22:58.them a good discount on knock-off the VAT. What do you make to
:22:59. > :23:03.Nottingham, have you picked up any of the local catchphrases? I did
:23:04. > :23:10.pantomime in Nottingham and I've been here quite a lot. Nice people.
:23:11. > :23:13.Absolute pleasure to meet you, thank you very much. As the Nottingham
:23:14. > :23:16.School of boxing looks for a permanent home, it certainly got a
:23:17. > :23:24.heavyweight of the sport fighting its corner.
:23:25. > :23:28.I love Frank Bruno, such a great voice. So deep.
:23:29. > :23:30.Believe it or not today is the 13th anniversary
:23:31. > :23:33.of the tram in Nottingham and, to celebrate, tram 222
:23:34. > :23:37.was re-named as part of NET Tram's Community Hero Award.
:23:38. > :23:40.It's only the second time this award has been given and it went
:23:41. > :23:43.to a couple whose charity is helping parents across the East Midlands.
:23:44. > :24:00.One, two, three. The Richard and Michelle Daniels tram takes to the
:24:01. > :24:04.tracks. The charity has made a huge difference in the three years it's
:24:05. > :24:08.been going. After the little girl Emily was stillborn, they set about
:24:09. > :24:11.raising money to build a special serenity suite in the Queen 's
:24:12. > :24:15.medical centre. It opened and now they're raising money for the City
:24:16. > :24:20.Hospital and they have their sights on Derby as well. They bring people
:24:21. > :24:24.together, they inspire people and they help people, genuinely, who
:24:25. > :24:28.suffer that terrible loss of a stillborn baby. To the stars
:24:29. > :24:33.themselves, Richard and Michelle. What is a feeling to have a tram
:24:34. > :24:38.named after you? It's amazing, quite funny. Hopefully it will get the
:24:39. > :24:41.message out to the rest of the city about forever stars and we are
:24:42. > :24:45.desperately trying to get people to talk about stillbirth and remove the
:24:46. > :24:50.taboo on what a brilliant way to do it. As Richard said, Nottingham to
:24:51. > :24:53.the charity to its heart and it's appropriate that tram should now
:24:54. > :24:58.travel to the heart of Nottingham. I think Finley has it about right. My
:24:59. > :25:02.mummy and daddy are great. That's so lovely. I hope he says that when
:25:03. > :25:12.he's 17. Unlikely! The weather now. Nice today, my daffodils in the
:25:13. > :25:17.garden have decided to wake up. Very pleasant but also quite blustery at
:25:18. > :25:20.times. We saw the cloud varying in the daytime, this is the early
:25:21. > :25:25.satellite picture but they cleared nicely as we head into the afternoon
:25:26. > :25:28.and that was captured once again by our weather watchers busy outside
:25:29. > :25:32.taking those photos for us across the East Midlands and thank you for
:25:33. > :25:35.sending them into day. Just showing what a lovely day it was. We will
:25:36. > :25:40.find the weather changes through this and into tomorrow but it's
:25:41. > :25:44.clear skies out there at the moment, so that's the coldest part of the
:25:45. > :25:49.night tonight. The temperatures in rural parts could be just about past
:25:50. > :25:54.freezing at the time. A feel of high cloud coming into the early hours,
:25:55. > :25:57.so we will end at around five Celsius into the early part of
:25:58. > :26:01.tomorrow morning. The cloud that will thicken up throughout the
:26:02. > :26:06.daytime tomorrow is bright to start initially but gradually starts to
:26:07. > :26:08.bring some patchy drizzle as we head into the afternoon and this weather
:26:09. > :26:13.front has been keeping the south-west of the country and fog,
:26:14. > :26:17.so some misty conditions linked to this. I'll be on the wind continues
:26:18. > :26:20.to come from the south but it will be lighter than it was today and the
:26:21. > :26:25.daytime temperature should be in the region of 11 Celsius. As one weather
:26:26. > :26:30.front clears into the early part of Saturday we should find this guy
:26:31. > :26:33.brightens for a time and we have the mild air sitting across the
:26:34. > :26:36.south-east of the country so Saturday will be mild but again
:26:37. > :26:40.we'll find the cloud increases into the afternoon and we find this
:26:41. > :26:43.weather front starts to come through overnight. The couple are weather
:26:44. > :26:47.fronts with us on Sunday, another one the middle part of the day
:26:48. > :26:50.bringing slightly cooler air with it, so we'll find that although high
:26:51. > :26:55.pressure is in charge of the temperatures come down a little bit.
:26:56. > :26:59.As we know that public meeting on the future of Glenfield heart
:27:00. > :27:07.children's heart unit is currently taking place in Leicester. Any
:27:08. > :27:11.update? Good evening. Lots of questions being asked in there, lots
:27:12. > :27:15.of questions about why Newcastle in the eyes of the campaign is being
:27:16. > :27:19.treated different to Leicester, the feeling they're trying to manage the
:27:20. > :27:23.number of cases there but aren't offering to do that with Leicester.
:27:24. > :27:27.Feelings running very high. The meeting is going on up there in the
:27:28. > :27:34.room behind me and we'll have more on it in the late news. Thanks very
:27:35. > :27:37.much indeed. Another milestone in the long saiga of Glenfield
:27:38. > :27:39.children's heart surgery. Still it goes on. I'll be back tomorrow but
:27:40. > :27:42.he'll be back tonight.
