:00:55. > :00:58.Dominic Heale. First tonight, a council says it
:00:59. > :01:02.won't be refunding thousands of motorists' fines despite a court
:01:03. > :01:05.ruling that signs for a city centre bus lane -
:01:06. > :01:08.are not good enough. More than 23,000 drivers have been
:01:09. > :01:11.fined up to ?60 for wrongly driving up a street outside
:01:12. > :01:13.Nottingham Trent University - a street that isn't even
:01:14. > :01:20.used by public buses. The City Council went
:01:21. > :01:23.to the High Court after a taxi driver won an appeal
:01:24. > :01:24.against his penalty. Beware the cameras of
:01:25. > :01:32.Shakespeare Street in Nottingham. Outside Nottingham Trent University,
:01:33. > :01:35.there's a fine of up to ?60 at a bus gate that isn't used by any
:01:36. > :01:38.public bus services. Now a High Court judge
:01:39. > :01:41.has upheld an appeal by a cabbie who said he shouldn't
:01:42. > :01:50.have to pay the fine. The judge agreed with
:01:51. > :01:52.the ruling from the Traffic Penalty Tribunal which said
:01:53. > :01:54.motorists probably wouldn't understand signs here that are
:01:55. > :01:57.supposed to indicate that a bus gate I came to drive past here,
:01:58. > :02:04.and my friend had to say, stop, I've already been fined,
:02:05. > :02:07.so you will get fined for this, so I Unfortunately for me it
:02:08. > :02:11.all comes down to the driver You need to look out
:02:12. > :02:14.for the signage. Unfortunately, there is no
:02:15. > :02:16.excuse for saying that the signage isn't clear enough
:02:17. > :02:18.because the signage is out there. Last month, we revealed more
:02:19. > :02:26.than 11,200 had been issued here Last month, we revealed
:02:27. > :02:28.more than 11,200 fines had been issued here
:02:29. > :02:30.in the 2015-16 financial year. Figures to the end of
:02:31. > :02:32.September 2016 show that Nottingham City Council went
:02:33. > :02:36.to the High Court after the taxi driver won his appeal
:02:37. > :02:38.at the Traffic Penalty Tribunal. The adjudicator said
:02:39. > :02:40.it was highly unlikely a motorist In a statement,
:02:41. > :02:44.Nottingham City Council said they wanted the High Court
:02:45. > :02:48.to provide clarification. They are now working
:02:49. > :02:52.out their next move, but it won't alter cases where people have
:02:53. > :02:54.accepted a fine on Today the signs remain in force
:02:55. > :03:02.and so do the fines. Mike joins us now from
:03:03. > :03:06.Shakespeare Street - So the council saying they won't pay
:03:07. > :03:13.back fines although the signs have been criticised -
:03:14. > :03:15.have other councils Well, yes, in Hertfordshire back
:03:16. > :03:25.in 2012, the council said it would repay around ?1.3 million
:03:26. > :03:28.to 36,000 drivers fined in a bus That was after the Traffic
:03:29. > :03:32.Penalty Tribunal said signs The council said it was acting
:03:33. > :03:37.on moral, rather than In Birmingham, the council there has
:03:38. > :03:44.refused to give refunds That was after the
:03:45. > :03:55.Traffic Penalty Tribunal It said they were confusing and the
:03:56. > :04:02.wrongly placed for the motorist. One councillor in Birmingham said
:04:03. > :04:05.people who had paid up had Nottingham City Council isn't
:04:06. > :04:10.giving interviews on this. We've had a lot of reaction
:04:11. > :04:14.on our Facebook page from people who feel other fines should be
:04:15. > :04:18.challenged - what is the procedure? Well the first thing I'd
:04:19. > :04:21.advise is the obvious - don't drive down a bus lane,
:04:22. > :04:27.watch out for the signs. But the first step is to contact
:04:28. > :04:32.the council itself, If you're not happy
:04:33. > :04:36.with that you can go They look at cases
:04:37. > :04:46.on an individual basis. Now I've looked at ten cases ruled
:04:47. > :04:49.on by the TPT by drivers fined One motorist gave the reason
:04:50. > :04:53.as following a sat-nav But in four of the cases,
:04:54. > :04:56.including the cabbie case, when signs were mentioned the appeal
:04:57. > :04:59.was allowed and now there's been what could be
:05:00. > :05:01.a definitive ruling on that. And as we mentioned you can
:05:02. > :05:06.have your say on this subject Armed police have spent the day
:05:07. > :05:10.outside a flat in Leicester Police say he had
:05:11. > :05:17.another person with him. This evening officers took the man
:05:18. > :05:20.away after long negotiations. Simon Ward is at Keightley Road
:05:21. > :05:25.in the New Parks area of Leicester. Simon what do we know
:05:26. > :05:39.about what happened? This all started at 7am this
:05:40. > :05:44.morning. Officers came to this road as part of an ongoing investigation.
:05:45. > :05:49.We are told the man refused to leave his flat, that led to some kind of
:05:50. > :05:55.stand-off situation. Armed officers were involved and also trained
:05:56. > :05:57.negotiators were brought in. Some people couldn't get into their
:05:58. > :06:01.properties around here because both sides of the roads were cordoned off
:06:02. > :06:03.and other people who live in the area were told to stay inside for
:06:04. > :06:04.their safety. There's been sniffer
:06:05. > :06:06.dogs in the back garden And then there's obviously all this
:06:07. > :06:10.what's going on around here. I was a bit...
:06:11. > :06:12.A bit on edge. I just went outside and went,
:06:13. > :06:14."What's going on?" Normally pretty quiet.
:06:15. > :06:28.Like any other estate. After 3pm we could see armed
:06:29. > :06:33.officers were preparing themselves in a nearby garden, getting on their
:06:34. > :06:37.protective gear, getting their weapons ready and also their body
:06:38. > :06:41.armour and masks as well. We could see them creeping up a pavement very
:06:42. > :06:46.carefully preparing to get closer to this property, hiding behind a hedge
:06:47. > :06:52.for a long time before they eventually moved in to the property.
:06:53. > :06:57.And then it was around 5pm, just before 5pm, that we saw a man being
:06:58. > :07:02.taken away. Tonight police have said that a 40-year-old man has been
:07:03. > :07:07.arrested on suspicion of firearms offences. A 48-year-old woman who
:07:08. > :07:11.was in the flat is unharmed and is being treated by police as a
:07:12. > :07:15.witness. This whole area has now been opened up and tonight people
:07:16. > :07:17.are returning to their homes. Simon Ward, thank you very much
:07:18. > :07:19.indeed. Leicestershire Police have
:07:20. > :07:21.identified the man who was stabbed to death outside Leicester Railway
:07:22. > :07:23.Station. 30-year-old Dilovan Fazil Mohammed,
:07:24. > :07:28.of no fixed address, was discovered with serious injuries
:07:29. > :07:31.on London Road in the early hours A 30-year-old Leicester man,
:07:32. > :07:35.who's been arrested on suspicion of murder, remains in custody
:07:36. > :07:37.and is being questioned New figures show Nottingham Prison
:07:38. > :07:43.had one of the highest numbers of fires in jails in the whole
:07:44. > :07:45.country last year. 78 blazes were recorded
:07:46. > :07:49.at the Perry Road site. They include fires that
:07:50. > :07:50.were started deliberately The figures were revealed

:08:43. > :08:44.A woman had suffered serious stab wounds.
:08:45. > :08:46.And a little girl was rescued unhurt.
:08:47. > :08:53.A family home that has become a crime scene. Police were called to
:08:54. > :08:58.this bungalow on Holland Crescent at around 3:20pm yesterday. Inside they
:08:59. > :09:02.found a man stabbed to death, a woman with serious stab wounds and a
:09:03. > :09:08.child described locally as a girl aged around two unhurt. People
:09:09. > :09:12.living nearby described how this quiet neighbourhood in Ashby became
:09:13. > :09:17.anything but. I have seen the street full of police and it was just
:09:18. > :09:23.shocking and it was just like, what has gone on? And all of the kids
:09:24. > :09:29.were out and it was scary. You would not expect it around here, to be
:09:30. > :09:35.honest. It is a shock. It is a real shock. It is just horrendous, very
:09:36. > :09:40.chilling, very unnerving, very sad. Allan Blakemore lives doors away
:09:41. > :09:44.from the family and he told me he saw them regularly and is shocked.
:09:45. > :09:49.When I took the dog for a walk and met the young girl quite a few times
:09:50. > :09:55.and she was found by a dog and I met the little girl as well and to me
:09:56. > :09:59.they were such a nice little family. It is something totally out of the
:10:00. > :10:03.blue. House to house inquiries are under way today as police tried to
:10:04. > :10:08.piece together what happened at this bungalow yesterday afternoon. So the
:10:09. > :10:12.investigation is at an early stage officers don't believe anyone else
:10:13. > :10:18.was involved. As investigations continue the woman found injured
:10:19. > :10:21.here is in a critical condition at Coventry's Walsgrave Hospital where
:10:22. > :10:26.she was airlifted. The little girl is being looked after by relatives.

:10:33. > :10:34.for delays in improving access for disabled passengers
:10:35. > :10:36.at Alfreton Railway station. There's no lift to the footbridge
:10:37. > :10:39.at the station, meaning those in a wheelchair can't get
:10:40. > :10:42.on to the southbound platform. The family of one disabled boy says
:10:43. > :10:45.it plans to take legal action against Network Rail if it doesn't
:10:46. > :11:01.improve access soon. 11-year-old Owen Porter has had
:11:02. > :11:06.serious health problems since he was born and needs a wheelchair. Doctors
:11:07. > :11:09.have told his parents that he is not expected to live to adult hood. When
:11:10. > :11:14.he was born with or he was fine and to go from having a healthy baby to
:11:15. > :11:18.being told we had a really sick one was traumatic. Owen is under
:11:19. > :11:21.constant care at hospital but Britain is his nearest railway
:11:22. > :11:25.station. It takes under half an hour on the train to get from here to
:11:26. > :11:29.Nottingham. But there is a problem. These stairs are the only way to get
:11:30. > :11:33.up to the footbridge. There is no lift here which means that if you
:11:34. > :11:37.are in a wheelchair there is no way in this station to get across to the
:11:38. > :11:41.southbound platform and catch a train to Nottingham.
:11:42. > :11:46.Tara doesn't drive so instead they have to take a two hour bus journey
:11:47. > :11:51.to get to Owen's appointments. It's very frustrating. You know,
:11:52. > :11:55.obviously we were promised the funding for this for it not to
:11:56. > :11:58.happen is frustrating. Alfreton has been campaigning for 20 years to
:11:59. > :12:02.improve access to the station and it is difficult to understand how in
:12:03. > :12:05.2017 we are still having this debate, we have a fully designed
:12:06. > :12:09.scheme on the table ready to be built. Work to provide step free
:12:10. > :12:13.access here has been delayed until 2019 at least but the Derbyshire Law
:12:14. > :12:17.Centre says it is planning to take legal action against Network Rail
:12:18. > :12:27.for disability discrimination. When we were first approached about the
:12:28. > :12:30.case we it unbelievable at Danac that this day and age there is a
:12:31. > :12:32.station where the service provider has not made reasonable adjustments
:12:33. > :12:35.for access by wheelchair users. We are sorry that the plans we had in
:12:36. > :12:37.place for the station have been delayed, the funding is not
:12:38. > :12:40.available as we stand. The station was built over 150 years ago when
:12:41. > :12:44.there was no legislation around disabled access and we have plans to
:12:45. > :12:47.do the work at Alfreton station. In a statement the Department for
:12:48. > :12:50.Transport has said it is sorry to learn of the family's difficulties

:16:44. > :16:46.Deirdre Mason, the great granddaughters of Alice Wheeldon, at
:16:47. > :16:49.the Royal Courts of Justice today. They want to see Alice and her

:16:56. > :16:59.Alice and her family from this house in Derby were against World War I
:17:00. > :17:02.and helping conscientious objectors. A man called Alex Goode and

:17:08. > :17:11.claimed they were planning to poison the Prime Minister Lloyd George. On
:17:12. > :17:16.the 11th of March 1917 the family were convicted at the Old Bailey and
:17:17. > :17:22.jailed. It's really partly because of the conviction of people in Derby
:17:23. > :17:25.itself who have given us huge support to say this is a case of a
:17:26. > :17:31.grave miscarriage of justice that we need to rectify. It's the end of a
:17:32. > :17:34.long journey for us coming here. With done it in Derby before but
:17:35. > :17:39.we've never been in London doing something like this so it is
:17:40. > :17:44.fantastic. Alex was released in jail in 1917 and returned to Derby, a
:17:45. > :17:47.social pariah -- Alice. My grandmother knew Alice and she is to
:17:48. > :17:51.take food to her after dark because there was a lot of hatred in Derby
:17:52. > :17:55.for the Weald ands so people were fearful of being seen to help her

:19:05. > :19:17.to BBC Radio Derby's Ed Dawes A little earlier I spoke
:19:18. > :19:19.to BBC Radio Derby's Craig Ramage and asked him what Derby will want
:19:20. > :19:22.from the end of the season. I think it's about the players
:19:23. > :19:25.playing for their futures now, Colin, and showing what they can
:19:26. > :19:28.really do and really going for it. Ten games to go, all cup finals,

:20:01. > :20:03.and the players haven't produced on a consistent level
:20:04. > :20:05.and I think there will be questions asked
:20:06. > :20:08.at the end of the season if they don't finish well in
:20:09. > :20:14.the next ten games. There will be a test tonight. Craig,

:20:23. > :20:26.and potential managerial candidate Nigel Clough.
:20:27. > :20:30.And with the potential to drag Forest back
:20:31. > :20:34.Fantastic. Fantastic job there.
:20:35. > :20:37.On the resources that they have I think their story and what they have

:20:44. > :20:45.It's our job to go over there and give a very

:21:42. > :21:47.When you come to a club like Leicester you
:21:48. > :21:51.are aware of the pressure to finish in that top four and the
:21:52. > :21:54.expectations from both the playing group and the supporters as well.
:21:55. > :21:58.No one hurts more than the players and coaches.
:21:59. > :22:00.For now the prospect of a semifinal against Saracens, the
:22:01. > :22:02.reigning champions in the Anglo Welsh,
:22:03. > :22:03.at a ground where Tigers have
:22:04. > :22:10.You know, I think they've got a really strong record at home
:22:11. > :22:16.We know what quality they have in depth.
:22:17. > :22:19.But in saying that we've just got to go there.
:22:20. > :22:21.We know the way Saracens like to play.
:22:22. > :22:23.It's not something we have to do a lot of
:22:24. > :22:26.We just have to execute when we get our opportunities,
:22:27. > :22:29.and make sure that we play with no fear.
:22:30. > :22:31.A blend of youth and experience for the game
:22:32. > :22:32.itself and a chance for the
:22:33. > :22:37.It's exciting for the guys that are selected to go and play.
:22:38. > :22:41.They get to pull on the Tigers shirt and they get to go away and
:22:42. > :22:43.it's probably as tough a fixture as they will face.
:22:44. > :22:46.Not many people will expect us to win but that's the way
:22:47. > :22:48.that sometimes you make the sweetest victories.
:22:49. > :22:52.Two games in Belfast this weekend for Ice Hockey's
:22:53. > :23:01.They want some good form going into the play-offs. In Edmonton on the

:23:04. > :23:06.A new interactive exhibition in Leicester is bringing an under
:23:07. > :23:08.told era of British and Sikh history to life.
:23:09. > :23:11.The Sikh Museum is using modern technology to showcase unseen relics
:23:12. > :23:15.from the Sikh wars of the 19th Century.
:23:16. > :23:18.They were sparked by conflicts between the Sikh Empire
:23:19. > :23:24.and the East India Company, as Elise Chamberlain reports.
:23:25. > :23:30.The Anglo Sikh wars were fiercely fought between the Sikh Empire and
:23:31. > :23:34.the East India company through a number of battles leading to the
:23:35. > :23:39.annexation of the Punjab in 1849. This exhibition at Newark houses
:23:40. > :23:43.Museum is bringing the history of them as well as relics and artefacts
:23:44. > :23:49.that have never been displayed before to life. We have Sikh
:23:50. > :23:55.Scriptures, weapons, swords, maps, from the actual battlefield and how
:23:56. > :23:58.the empires, the Sikh Empire which was also expanding up towards
:23:59. > :24:04.Afghanistan and Tibet, clashed with the British Empire, and how the
:24:05. > :24:09.Empire, the great Empire was lost. On this tablet visitors can take a
:24:10. > :24:15.360 degrees look at the equipment used, and even the diamond given up
:24:16. > :24:21.to the British following the 19th-century wars. Gamers may
:24:22. > :24:26.recognise this prized jewel from the assassins Creed franchise. As well
:24:27. > :24:29.as 3D technology this exhibition also features augmented reality so
:24:30. > :24:34.if you have a look at one of these tiles they feature information on
:24:35. > :24:37.the weaponry and some of the armour that would have been used in the
:24:38. > :24:40.wars and if I turn around you can see exactly what they would have
:24:41. > :24:44.looked like. It is definitely more fun and that is what we want to see
:24:45. > :24:47.as part of the exhibition. While it is a serious subject we still want
:24:48. > :24:54.to get younger audiences engaged with it so they can learn more about
:24:55. > :24:58.the history in this new modern way. Items have come from museums across
:24:59. > :25:02.the country to feature in this lottery funded exhibition which
:25:03. > :25:04.opens tomorrow. It is hoped it will prevent this era of British and Sikh
:25:05. > :25:14.history being forgotten. That looks interesting.
:25:15. > :25:19.We could have an augmented reality forecast, just reach in and touch
:25:20. > :25:23.the rain. Don't say that, it will be coming!
:25:24. > :25:27.You will be able to do that soon. It would be nice to be about to turn
:25:28. > :25:35.We have a bit of rain coming but if you were up early enough you might
:25:36. > :25:39.have seen the nice sunrise, our weather watcher pictures showing
:25:40. > :25:43.that in style, and in Arnold the skies looked very vibrant first
:25:44. > :25:47.thing. It's been quite a cloudy day and very different to yesterday. The
:25:48. > :25:51.cloud, although it hasn't produced a lot of rain could just offer a bit
:25:52. > :25:56.of drizzle through the evening and misty conditions, so some hill fog
:25:57. > :26:01.possible. It also might thin and break into the early hours and if it
:26:02. > :26:03.does we could see the odd for patch developing tomorrow morning. The
:26:04. > :26:07.minimum temperature tonight eight Celsius across the East Midlands and
:26:08. > :26:12.tomorrow a cloudy start initially, and it is a mild day on Saturday but
:26:13. > :26:17.the cloud will try and pin and break across southern parts of the region
:26:18. > :26:21.so you might see some sunshine and that will lift temperatures, the
:26:22. > :26:24.maximum 14 Celsius tomorrow with a very light southerly breeze. Still
:26:25. > :26:28.more cloud the further north you go linked to a weather front that will
:26:29. > :26:33.work in overnight Saturday into Sunday. Sunday is a different day, a
:26:34. > :26:38.wet start on Sunday morning, some heavy rain forecast. Another weather
:26:39. > :26:43.front coming in closely behind in between the two the skies could
:26:44. > :26:48.brighten but the second one brings in cooler air behind and that will
:26:49. > :26:53.impact on how it feels for the early part of next week. It brings clear
:26:54. > :26:58.skies on Sunday night into the early part of Monday so it will be a cold
:26:59. > :27:03.start on Monday but we have a ridge of high pressure building in. In the
:27:04. > :27:07.early part of next week it should remain dry. The temperatures will
:27:08. > :27:11.stay in double figures but it will feel a little fresher outside at
:27:12. > :27:17.times. Rightly or wrongly I like it when it says high and it is heading
:27:18. > :27:20.this way. It is cold a window, a device where you can reach out and
:27:21. > :27:23.touch the weather. Great way to end the week. Back
:27:24. > :27:55.later with the news. Bye. So, like, you get sponsored to swap
:27:56. > :27:57.clothes with somebody for a day. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
:27:58. > :28:00.OK, I don't get that. So, maybe... I don't get that.
:28:01. > :28:02...you wear your mother's clothes? I don't get it. What does she wear?
:28:03. > :28:06.No, no, she wears someone else's. OK, I don't get that, it's
:28:07. > :28:10.too complicated. Do another one. So, like, you get sponsored
:28:11. > :28:13.to let people lick stuff No, but, like, you get
:28:14. > :28:17.these flavoured... Cool, yeah. Not going to happen.
:28:18. > :28:20.Peanut butter. Do another one. For better ideas,
:28:21. > :28:25.get your free fundraising kit now. Let's Sing And Dance exploded onto
:28:26. > :28:27.our screens, setting the stage
:28:28. > :28:31.alight...literally.
