The court ruled that the signs alerting drivers to this bus lane | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
are not clear enough. Also tonight. A stand-off in Leicester, armed | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
police surrounded a flat as a manned barricades himself in. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
Plus, the 20 year struggle to get people in a wheelchair from this | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
side of the station across to the other platform. | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
And, campaigners demand justice for Alice, a Derby woman jailed for | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
plotting to kill a Prime Minister. Good evening - welcome | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
to Friday's programme with Anne Davies and me, | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
Dominic Heale. First tonight, a council says it | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
won't be refunding thousands of motorists' fines despite a court | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
ruling that signs for a city centre bus lane - | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
are not good enough. More than 23,000 drivers have been | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
fined up to ?60 for wrongly driving up a street outside | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
Nottingham Trent University - a street that isn't even | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
used by public buses. The City Council went | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
to the High Court after a taxi driver won an appeal | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
against his penalty. Beware the cameras of | :01:24. | :01:24. | |
Shakespeare Street in Nottingham. Outside Nottingham Trent University, | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
there's a fine of up to ?60 at a bus gate that isn't used by any | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
public bus services. Now a High Court judge | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
has upheld an appeal by a cabbie who said he shouldn't | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
have to pay the fine. The judge agreed with | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
the ruling from the Traffic Penalty Tribunal which said | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
motorists probably wouldn't understand signs here that are | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
supposed to indicate that a bus gate I came to drive past here, | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
and my friend had to say, stop, I've already been fined, | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
so you will get fined for this, so I Unfortunately for me it | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
all comes down to the driver You need to look out | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
for the signage. Unfortunately, there is no | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
excuse for saying that the signage isn't clear enough | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
because the signage is out there. Last month, we revealed more | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
than 11,200 had been issued here Last month, we revealed | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
more than 11,200 fines had been issued here | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
in the 2015-16 financial year. Figures to the end of | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
September 2016 show that Nottingham City Council went | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
to the High Court after the taxi driver won his appeal | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
at the Traffic Penalty Tribunal. The adjudicator said | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
it was highly unlikely a motorist In a statement, | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
Nottingham City Council said they wanted the High Court | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
to provide clarification. They are now working | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
out their next move, but it won't alter cases where people have | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
accepted a fine on Today the signs remain in force | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
and so do the fines. Mike joins us now from | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
Shakespeare Street - So the council saying they won't pay | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
back fines although the signs have been criticised - | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
have other councils Well, yes, in Hertfordshire back | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
in 2012, the council said it would repay around ?1.3 million | :03:16. | :03:25. | |
to 36,000 drivers fined in a bus That was after the Traffic | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Penalty Tribunal said signs The council said it was acting | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
on moral, rather than In Birmingham, the council there has | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
refused to give refunds That was after the | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
Traffic Penalty Tribunal It said they were confusing and the | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
wrongly placed for the motorist. One councillor in Birmingham said | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
people who had paid up had Nottingham City Council isn't | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
giving interviews on this. We've had a lot of reaction | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
on our Facebook page from people who feel other fines should be | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
challenged - what is the procedure? Well the first thing I'd | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
advise is the obvious - don't drive down a bus lane, | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
watch out for the signs. But the first step is to contact | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
the council itself, If you're not happy | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
with that you can go They look at cases | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
on an individual basis. Now I've looked at ten cases ruled | :04:37. | :04:46. | |
on by the TPT by drivers fined One motorist gave the reason | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
as following a sat-nav But in four of the cases, | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
including the cabbie case, when signs were mentioned the appeal | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
was allowed and now there's been what could be | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
a definitive ruling on that. And as we mentioned you can | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
have your say on this subject Armed police have spent the day | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
outside a flat in Leicester Police say he had | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
another person with him. This evening officers took the man | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
away after long negotiations. Simon Ward is at Keightley Road | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
in the New Parks area of Leicester. Simon what do we know | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
about what happened? This all started at 7am this | :05:26. | :05:39. | |
morning. Officers came to this road as part of an ongoing investigation. | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
We are told the man refused to leave his flat, that led to some kind of | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
stand-off situation. Armed officers were involved and also trained | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
negotiators were brought in. Some people couldn't get into their | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
properties around here because both sides of the roads were cordoned off | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
and other people who live in the area were told to stay inside for | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
their safety. There's been sniffer | :06:04. | :06:04. | |
dogs in the back garden And then there's obviously all this | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
what's going on around here. I was a bit... | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
A bit on edge. I just went outside and went, | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
"What's going on?" Normally pretty quiet. | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
Like any other estate. After 3pm we could see armed | :06:15. | :06:28. | |
officers were preparing themselves in a nearby garden, getting on their | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
protective gear, getting their weapons ready and also their body | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
armour and masks as well. We could see them creeping up a pavement very | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
carefully preparing to get closer to this property, hiding behind a hedge | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
for a long time before they eventually moved in to the property. | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
And then it was around 5pm, just before 5pm, that we saw a man being | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
taken away. Tonight police have said that a 40-year-old man has been | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
arrested on suspicion of firearms offences. A 48-year-old woman who | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
was in the flat is unharmed and is being treated by police as a | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
witness. This whole area has now been opened up and tonight people | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
are returning to their homes. Simon Ward, thank you very much | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
indeed. Leicestershire Police have | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
identified the man who was stabbed to death outside Leicester Railway | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
Station. 30-year-old Dilovan Fazil Mohammed, | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
of no fixed address, was discovered with serious injuries | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
on London Road in the early hours A 30-year-old Leicester man, | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
who's been arrested on suspicion of murder, remains in custody | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
and is being questioned New figures show Nottingham Prison | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
had one of the highest numbers of fires in jails in the whole | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
country last year. 78 blazes were recorded | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
at the Perry Road site. They include fires that | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
were started deliberately The figures were revealed | :07:50. | :07:50. | |
in a Parliamentary answer to a question by Tim Farron, | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
the Liberal Democrat leader. The 20-year battle | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
over disabled access 100 years to the day since a Derby | :08:03. | :08:15. | |
woman was convicted of trying to kill the then Prime Minister the | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
family campaigners who are still trying to clear her name. | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
Police and forensic officers have spent the day investigating | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
after a man was found stabbed to death at his | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
His body was discovered in a bungalow in Ashby de la Zouch | :08:29. | :08:42. | |
A woman had suffered serious stab wounds. | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
And a little girl was rescued unhurt. | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
A family home that has become a crime scene. Police were called to | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
this bungalow on Holland Crescent at around 3:20pm yesterday. Inside they | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
found a man stabbed to death, a woman with serious stab wounds and a | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
child described locally as a girl aged around two unhurt. People | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
living nearby described how this quiet neighbourhood in Ashby became | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
anything but. I have seen the street full of police and it was just | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
shocking and it was just like, what has gone on? And all of the kids | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
were out and it was scary. You would not expect it around here, to be | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
honest. It is a shock. It is a real shock. It is just horrendous, very | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
chilling, very unnerving, very sad. Allan Blakemore lives doors away | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
from the family and he told me he saw them regularly and is shocked. | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
When I took the dog for a walk and met the young girl quite a few times | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
and she was found by a dog and I met the little girl as well and to me | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
they were such a nice little family. It is something totally out of the | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
blue. House to house inquiries are under way today as police tried to | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
piece together what happened at this bungalow yesterday afternoon. So the | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
investigation is at an early stage officers don't believe anyone else | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
was involved. As investigations continue the woman found injured | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
here is in a critical condition at Coventry's Walsgrave Hospital where | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
she was airlifted. The little girl is being looked after by relatives. | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police. Amy Harris, BBC | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
East Midlands today, Leicestershire. Network Rail has apologised | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
for delays in improving access for disabled passengers | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
at Alfreton Railway station. There's no lift to the footbridge | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
at the station, meaning those in a wheelchair can't get | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
on to the southbound platform. The family of one disabled boy says | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
it plans to take legal action against Network Rail if it doesn't | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
improve access soon. 11-year-old Owen Porter has had | :10:46. | :11:01. | |
serious health problems since he was born and needs a wheelchair. Doctors | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
have told his parents that he is not expected to live to adult hood. When | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
he was born with or he was fine and to go from having a healthy baby to | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
being told we had a really sick one was traumatic. Owen is under | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
constant care at hospital but Britain is his nearest railway | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
station. It takes under half an hour on the train to get from here to | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
Nottingham. But there is a problem. These stairs are the only way to get | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
up to the footbridge. There is no lift here which means that if you | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
are in a wheelchair there is no way in this station to get across to the | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
southbound platform and catch a train to Nottingham. | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
Tara doesn't drive so instead they have to take a two hour bus journey | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
to get to Owen's appointments. It's very frustrating. You know, | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
obviously we were promised the funding for this for it not to | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
happen is frustrating. Alfreton has been campaigning for 20 years to | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
improve access to the station and it is difficult to understand how in | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
2017 we are still having this debate, we have a fully designed | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
scheme on the table ready to be built. Work to provide step free | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
access here has been delayed until 2019 at least but the Derbyshire Law | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
Centre says it is planning to take legal action against Network Rail | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
for disability discrimination. When we were first approached about the | :12:18. | :12:27. | |
case we it unbelievable at Danac that this day and age there is a | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
station where the service provider has not made reasonable adjustments | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
for access by wheelchair users. We are sorry that the plans we had in | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
place for the station have been delayed, the funding is not | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
available as we stand. The station was built over 150 years ago when | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
there was no legislation around disabled access and we have plans to | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
do the work at Alfreton station. In a statement the Department for | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
Transport has said it is sorry to learn of the family's difficulties | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
and urged it to speak to East Midlands Trains which runs the | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
station about arranging alternative transport such as a taxi at no extra | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
cost. Navtej Johal, East Midlands Today, Alfreton. | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
Plans for a new helipad on top of a car park | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
at the Queens Medical Centre have been approved. | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
Hospital bosses say it's "an important milestone" | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
in the project which will cost more than ?3 million. | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
The Trust behind the scheme claims it'll cut patient handover times | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
It's hoped the helipad will be in use from early 2018. | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
The Conservatives have scored a major victory | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
Steve Willoughby took the Tories from fourth place to win the Derwent | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
Labour came second and Ukip, the party that had previously held | :13:30. | :13:34. | |

Next night, the woman who signed up to the organ donor register more | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
than 40 years ago and ended up as the recipient of a life-saving liver | :13:52. | :13:52. | |
transplant. Janet Tilford is on something of a | :13:53. | :14:02. | |
mission now. She's speaking to local community groups sharing her | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
transplant story to encourage more people to register as potential | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
donors. Our health correspondent Rob Sissons has more. | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
Janet agrees with this, the best things in life are free. It was the | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
commitment of an anonymous stranger to join the organ donation register | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
before she died that saved her life. Janet carried a donor card herself | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
for years. I've been on the register from being a team so I have been on | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
40 years and quite happy to give away anything if I was ever in that | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
position but you never really think you're going to need one, not for | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
any reason that you're special or you should never be poorly, but just | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
for everything to happen so quickly, I woke up in intensive care like, | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
what's happened? Some people watching this will think a liver | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
transplant, I bet it was to do with alcohol. No! The world's worst | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
drinker. Definitely not. Something so rare, they've never seen it in | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
Nottingham. These numbers give you an idea of how many people are | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
typically waiting for a transplant. In these three East Midlands cities | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
alone it is getting on for nearly 300. Janet and her husband Dave in | :15:11. | :15:19. | |
Hucknall know people Dai Whittingham the transplant. Trying to get people | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
on the register and making sure their relatives know. At Kings Mills | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
dialysis unit Michael knows what it is like to wait for a kidney donor | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
and has been on the transplant list for nearly two years. Got to stay | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
fit and well and wait for the phone call. About one Dummett one in three | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
of us has signed the online register and many say they will do it but | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
don't get round to it. You can't control that, we can only control | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
that we are ready, fit and able and then that day comes. Janet now | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
assures story doing talks for community groups. It seems to be the | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
only way I can thank my donor family and other donor families, to promote | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
the register because I think if they hear a personal story it makes | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
people think more than just a little generic poster somewhere. Rob | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
Sissons, East Midlands Today. It's been described by supporters | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
as a major miscarriage of justice - the conviction exactly 100 years ago | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
today of Alice Wheeldon. Alice - from Derby - | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
was accused of trying Today, her great granddaughters, | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
with 30 other supporters, demonstrated outside | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
the Royal Courts of Justice in London, where they hope | :16:27. | :16:27. | |
eventually her conviction All the way from Australia Chloe and | :16:28. | :16:43. | |
Deirdre Mason, the great granddaughters of Alice Wheeldon, at | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
the Royal Courts of Justice today. They want to see Alice and her | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
daughter Winnie Mason and Winnie's husband Alfie Mason cleared. In 1916 | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
Alice and her family from this house in Derby were against World War I | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
and helping conscientious objectors. A man called Alex Goode and | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
pretended to sympathise with them. In fact he was an MI5 spy who | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
claimed they were planning to poison the Prime Minister Lloyd George. On | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
the 11th of March 1917 the family were convicted at the Old Bailey and | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
jailed. It's really partly because of the conviction of people in Derby | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
itself who have given us huge support to say this is a case of a | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
grave miscarriage of justice that we need to rectify. It's the end of a | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
long journey for us coming here. With done it in Derby before but | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
we've never been in London doing something like this so it is | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
fantastic. Alex was released in jail in 1917 and returned to Derby, a | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
social pariah -- Alice. My grandmother knew Alice and she is to | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
take food to her after dark because there was a lot of hatred in Derby | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
for the Weald ands so people were fearful of being seen to help her | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
out but she did. Campaigners turned out in 1917 clothing today to | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
support the Masons sisters, including British relatives. I know | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
we say the past is another country but even then a court case like that | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
should not have been allowed and she should not have been put to trial in | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
the first place. Alice died in Derby in 1919 believing in her innocence. | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
The campaigners hope an appeal can be heard here this year that might | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
at last prove that. James Robinson, East Midlands Today, London. | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
We will keep you posted. Coming up later in the programme - | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
the weekend weather with Sara. Reach into a museum cabinet and take | :18:26. | :18:35. | |
the items out. At this exhibition in Leicester augmented reality allows | :18:36. | :18:36. | |
you to do just that. Sorry about the sound on that, we | :18:37. | :18:45. | |
lost a bit at the top. Let's start with tonight's football | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
and the toughest of tests for Derby County as they try | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
and recover some sort of form. They've only won once | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
since the start of February - and the play-offs look | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
a distant dream. They're at Brighton - | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
who are odds on for promotion. A little earlier I spoke | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
to BBC Radio Derby's Ed Dawes A little earlier I spoke | :19:05. | :19:17. | |
to BBC Radio Derby's Craig Ramage and asked him what Derby will want | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
from the end of the season. I think it's about the players | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
playing for their futures now, Colin, and showing what they can | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
really do and really going for it. Ten games to go, all cup finals, | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
and can they produce now It must be so disappointing | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
for the fans to be going to Brighton who are | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
in the place I think Derby will have | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
hoped to have been in. It's a familiar | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
story once again, Colin. After Christmas they seemed | :19:40. | :19:40. | |
to lose their wheels, the wheels We lacked that form, | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
consistency, and dropped off. fans when we conceded against | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
Preston. They weren't too | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
disappointed, they went away So its body language for you almost? | :19:50. | :19:50. | |
It's about impetus. Yeah, definitely. | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
You could feel it in the air. So much disappointment and spent | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
a lot of money over the last four years, has Mel Morris, | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
and the players haven't produced on a consistent level | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
and I think there will be questions asked | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
at the end of the season if they don't finish well in | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
the next ten games. There will be a test tonight. Craig, | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
thank you. We will keep an eye on it. | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
Forest also in action this weekend and it's a fixture | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
They're away at Burton Albion, managed by former Forest legend | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
and potential managerial candidate Nigel Clough. | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
And with the potential to drag Forest back | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
Fantastic. Fantastic job there. | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
On the resources that they have I think their story and what they have | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
been able to achieve and to be a Championship football club is a | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
They are punching above their weight. | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
It's our job to go over there and give a very | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
Hopefully the quality we have in the side will | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
give us the opportunity to | :20:50. | :20:50. | |
And two huge games in League Two at either end of the table. | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
Play-off chasing Mansfield Town host second placed Plymouth. | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
Relegation threatened Notts County have Hartlepool - | :20:59. | :21:00. | |
just one point and one place above them. | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
Whichever game you're following, BBC Local Radio | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
Now ,what a topsy turvy season it has been at Leicester Tigers - | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
in the Premiership they have been struggling. | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
This weekend a chance to put all that pressure | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
behind them and focus on securing some silverware. | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
They are through to the semi-finals of the Anglo Welsh Cup and Angela | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
went along to ask some key questions ahead of the big game. | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
Been very good in patches, disappointing in others. | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
COMMENTATOR: The Tigers remain firmly in the chasing pack. | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
CORRESPONDENT: Tigers are still smarting from their heavy home | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
When you come to a club like Leicester you | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
are aware of the pressure to finish in that top four and the | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
expectations from both the playing group and the supporters as well. | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
No one hurts more than the players and coaches. | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
For now the prospect of a semifinal against Saracens, the | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
reigning champions in the Anglo Welsh, | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
at a ground where Tigers have | :22:03. | :22:03. | |
You know, I think they've got a really strong record at home | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
We know what quality they have in depth. | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
But in saying that we've just got to go there. | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
We know the way Saracens like to play. | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
It's not something we have to do a lot of | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
We just have to execute when we get our opportunities, | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
and make sure that we play with no fear. | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
A blend of youth and experience for the game | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
itself and a chance for the | :22:32. | :22:32. | |
It's exciting for the guys that are selected to go and play. | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
They get to pull on the Tigers shirt and they get to go away and | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
it's probably as tough a fixture as they will face. | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
Not many people will expect us to win but that's the way | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
that sometimes you make the sweetest victories. | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
Two games in Belfast this weekend for Ice Hockey's | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
They want some good form going into the play-offs. In Edmonton on the | :22:53. | :23:01. | |
BBC sport website with the Adcocks in action. | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
A new interactive exhibition in Leicester is bringing an under | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
told era of British and Sikh history to life. | :23:07. | :23:08. | |
The Sikh Museum is using modern technology to showcase unseen relics | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
from the Sikh wars of the 19th Century. | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
They were sparked by conflicts between the Sikh Empire | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
and the East India Company, as Elise Chamberlain reports. | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
The Anglo Sikh wars were fiercely fought between the Sikh Empire and | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
the East India company through a number of battles leading to the | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
annexation of the Punjab in 1849. This exhibition at Newark houses | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
Museum is bringing the history of them as well as relics and artefacts | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
that have never been displayed before to life. We have Sikh | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
Scriptures, weapons, swords, maps, from the actual battlefield and how | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
the empires, the Sikh Empire which was also expanding up towards | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
Afghanistan and Tibet, clashed with the British Empire, and how the | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
Empire, the great Empire was lost. On this tablet visitors can take a | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
360 degrees look at the equipment used, and even the diamond given up | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
to the British following the 19th-century wars. Gamers may | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
recognise this prized jewel from the assassins Creed franchise. As well | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
as 3D technology this exhibition also features augmented reality so | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
if you have a look at one of these tiles they feature information on | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
the weaponry and some of the armour that would have been used in the | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
wars and if I turn around you can see exactly what they would have | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
looked like. It is definitely more fun and that is what we want to see | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
as part of the exhibition. While it is a serious subject we still want | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
to get younger audiences engaged with it so they can learn more about | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
the history in this new modern way. Items have come from museums across | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
the country to feature in this lottery funded exhibition which | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
opens tomorrow. It is hoped it will prevent this era of British and Sikh | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
history being forgotten. That looks interesting. | :25:05. | :25:14. | |
We could have an augmented reality forecast, just reach in and touch | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
the rain. Don't say that, it will be coming! | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
You will be able to do that soon. It would be nice to be about to turn | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
We have a bit of rain coming but if you were up early enough you might | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
have seen the nice sunrise, our weather watcher pictures showing | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
that in style, and in Arnold the skies looked very vibrant first | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
thing. It's been quite a cloudy day and very different to yesterday. The | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
cloud, although it hasn't produced a lot of rain could just offer a bit | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
of drizzle through the evening and misty conditions, so some hill fog | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
possible. It also might thin and break into the early hours and if it | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
does we could see the odd for patch developing tomorrow morning. The | :26:02. | :26:03. | |
minimum temperature tonight eight Celsius across the East Midlands and | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
tomorrow a cloudy start initially, and it is a mild day on Saturday but | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
the cloud will try and pin and break across southern parts of the region | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
so you might see some sunshine and that will lift temperatures, the | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
maximum 14 Celsius tomorrow with a very light southerly breeze. Still | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
more cloud the further north you go linked to a weather front that will | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
work in overnight Saturday into Sunday. Sunday is a different day, a | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
wet start on Sunday morning, some heavy rain forecast. Another weather | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
front coming in closely behind in between the two the skies could | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
brighten but the second one brings in cooler air behind and that will | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
impact on how it feels for the early part of next week. It brings clear | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
skies on Sunday night into the early part of Monday so it will be a cold | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
start on Monday but we have a ridge of high pressure building in. In the | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
early part of next week it should remain dry. The temperatures will | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
stay in double figures but it will feel a little fresher outside at | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
times. Rightly or wrongly I like it when it says high and it is heading | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
this way. It is cold a window, a device where you can reach out and | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
touch the weather. Great way to end the week. Back | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
later with the news. Bye. So, like, you get sponsored to swap | :27:24. | :27:55. | |
clothes with somebody for a day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. | :27:56. | :27:57. | |

..you wear your mother's clothes? I don't get it. What does she wear? | :28:01. | :28:02. | |
No, no, she wears someone else's. OK, I don't get that, it's | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
too complicated. Do another one. So, like, you get sponsored | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
