:02:21. > :02:24.got onto the flat roof of the hotel and tried to jump onto his own
:02:25. > :02:29.balcony, where he was found badly injured at an air conditioning unit.
:02:30. > :02:32.But he said the judge raised questions about whether the hotel

:02:35. > :02:40.The lawyer said the judge concluded that there was evidence
:02:41. > :02:48.Even though the hotel denies it, the police believe that he must
:02:49. > :02:51.have fallen onto a door that was unlocked, and the judge
:02:52. > :02:55.accepted the police's view on the matter, that one of two doors

:03:54. > :03:58.Next, a crematorium in Leicester is raising thousands of pounds for
:03:59. > :04:05.charity through recycling metal reclaimed from cremation. The
:04:06. > :04:06.crematorium has raised 43rd -- ?47,000, much of it has gone to a
:04:07. > :04:16.children's hospice. From steel hip and knee joints, the
:04:17. > :04:19.coffin screws. This is what is recovered from crematorium passions.
:04:20. > :04:24.This metal has been collected at Gill rose in Leicester since October
:04:25. > :04:33.for recycling. It will be smelted, refined and sold. We have been
:04:34. > :04:36.committing at Gilrose for 100 years, which has produced a lot of metal
:04:37. > :04:41.and before, it would have been buried somewhere in the grounds. As
:04:42. > :04:44.environmental awareness is grown, people are more concerned about the
:04:45. > :04:49.environment impact of cremation, the legislation has changed, this has
:04:50. > :04:52.led us to look at alternative means. Gilroes is part of a national scheme
:04:53. > :04:58.to recycle metal like this, with profits going to charity. Families
:04:59. > :05:05.choose to give their consent to it when applying for cremation. Here,
:05:06. > :05:09.almost all do. Around 2500 commissions are carried out here at
:05:10. > :05:17.Gilroes every year. -- cremations. Raising thousands of pounds for its
:05:18. > :05:26.chosen parity dullard charity, Rainbows children's hospice. So far
:05:27. > :05:30.this year, it has received ?5,000. -- its chosen charity. It is a way
:05:31. > :05:35.of turning what is a very sad, tragic in many cases time for
:05:36. > :05:40.families into one that has a positive outcome. As well as raising
:05:41. > :05:43.money for Jordan, the material will be used to manufacture modern
:05:44. > :05:48.orthopaedic implants or turned into a raft of products. -- raising money
:05:49. > :05:55.for children. Giving new life to the metals we leave behind.
:05:56. > :05:58.He would never think there would be so much metal! -- you would never
:05:59. > :05:58.think. Plenty to get you thinking tonight,
:05:59. > :06:01.and there's lots more ahead. Including - the owner
:06:02. > :06:03.of Notts County Ladies, who's coming in to explain
:06:04. > :06:05.what's gone on. We meet the new wave
:06:06. > :06:16.of poets making their mark. And something else making its mark,
:06:17. > :06:21.the cooler weather on the way next week.
:06:22. > :06:23.Part of the A38 in Derbyshire has been closed
:06:24. > :06:29.At one stage there were said to be three miles of queues.

:07:43. > :07:44.and will now take place in the middle of
:07:45. > :07:46.the general election campaign launched earlier this week.
:07:47. > :07:49.We have the last two shire County Councils in England
:07:50. > :07:51.still controlled by Labour - Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
:07:52. > :07:53.So, we're a key battleground in the local fight.
:07:54. > :07:55.But whoever wins, our County Councils are facing huge changes
:07:56. > :07:58.in the way they get money to pay for our services.
:07:59. > :08:09.Laid to one of Nottinghamshire was my most famous landmarks,
:08:10. > :08:12.communities and Local Government Secretary Sajid Javid was on the
:08:13. > :08:16.campaign trail at Trent Bridge today. It has been seven years not
:08:17. > :08:21.out for the Conservative Government, and while they are looking towards
:08:22. > :08:26.winning another term in the general election, it is all to play for in
:08:27. > :08:29.the local elections first. Here in Nottinghamshire, 66 seats are being
:08:30. > :08:35.contested. At the moment the council is made up of 32 Labour members, 21
:08:36. > :08:38.Conservative and the rest independent and Lib Dems. The
:08:39. > :08:45.overall majority winning party would have to have 34 members to take
:08:46. > :08:49.overall control at County Hall. And Sajid Javid's visit was all about
:08:50. > :08:53.persuading voters that the Labour innings should be over. In
:08:54. > :08:57.Nottinghamshire we want to make sure the Conservatives can come back into
:08:58. > :09:02.office, they did a fantastic job and have an excellent track record. The
:09:03. > :09:08.drug also took in Westbridge library which was an overhaul in 2013.
:09:09. > :09:11.County councils are responsible for major services like education,
:09:12. > :09:16.social services, I'm Owais -- highways and the arm. Many are
:09:17. > :09:21.warning council tax will have to go up to fund the increasing cost of
:09:22. > :09:24.adult social care. When it comes to tough spending decisions, you can
:09:25. > :09:28.decide to pass the burden to local people for higher taxes, or as you
:09:29. > :09:32.will find with most Conservative councils, they try much harder to
:09:33. > :09:36.look for savings at home first by finding efficiencies. If we have
:09:37. > :09:40.Conservatives back at the County Council, does that mean we will see
:09:41. > :09:45.services cut? I think it means the opposite. It means you will see
:09:46. > :09:49.better services using --, you will see Walcott services, but the lowest
:09:50. > :09:51.cost for a local people. The local elections take place on the 4th of
:09:52. > :09:52.May. Well, Derbyshire is the other county
:09:53. > :09:55.shire still in Labour hands. There, one of the vital services
:09:56. > :09:57.supported by council funding So, people are looking closely
:09:58. > :10:03.at what might happen to funding for those services
:10:04. > :10:07.after the local elections. James Roberson has been
:10:08. > :10:09.to Derbyshire to talk to a charity which runs community transport
:10:10. > :10:12.buses, mainly for the elderly - a charity that's wondering what this
:10:13. > :10:27.election, and future funding It may seem like a rural idyll, but
:10:28. > :10:30.the reality of living in country towns and villages is that without
:10:31. > :10:38.private transport, travelling is difficult. John is both driver and
:10:39. > :10:42.Chairman of the community transport. This September, their support grant
:10:43. > :10:46.is due to be cut entirely, so they are looking closely at the result of
:10:47. > :10:51.the forthcoming County Council election. We are hoping that all the
:10:52. > :10:59.parties that are involved look at the current proposed cuts and
:11:00. > :11:02.virtually reversed them. The Derbyshire -- but Derbyshire is
:11:03. > :11:05.facing increasingly difficult financial choices. The revenue
:11:06. > :11:09.support grant, millions from the Government to support councils, is
:11:10. > :11:15.ending. So Derbyshire will see its government funding goal from ?44
:11:16. > :11:20.million this year to zero by 2020. So what might future cuts mean for
:11:21. > :11:25.transport companies and charities? Unless the local councils themselves
:11:26. > :11:33.actually step up the funding, I can see transport going down roots that
:11:34. > :11:38.are not viable financially. The Government hopes a new marriage of
:11:39. > :11:41.council tax, business rates and new homes bonuses will support councils
:11:42. > :11:43.in the future. This charity hopes they will not simply be relying on
:11:44. > :11:47.public generosity. A widower's going to cycle 1,600
:11:48. > :11:50.miles across Europe to raise awareness of a painful condition
:11:51. > :11:52.suffered by his late wife. Sandra Watson had lived for several
:11:53. > :11:55.years with lymphoedema, which causes extremely painful
:11:56. > :11:59.swellings in the limbs, But she discovered exercise -
:12:00. > :12:03.particularly cycling - So now her husband's
:12:04. > :12:20.encouraging others Preparing to cross countries between
:12:21. > :12:29.the two homes he had shared with his wife. Tomorrow, Jerry Watson and his
:12:30. > :12:34.friends will leave the cycles to southern Spain. Sandra, his wife,
:12:35. > :12:38.died from cancer last March but for years she had also had lymphoedema,
:12:39. > :12:43.swollen legs caused by the body's lymphatic system failing to drain
:12:44. > :12:47.away fluid. Initially told to rest, she was later given new advice, to
:12:48. > :12:52.get active. Running was not an option for her, walking was painful,
:12:53. > :12:56.but she found that cycling was something she could do. The first
:12:57. > :13:00.time she did it, she got maybe 200 metres of the road and gradually
:13:01. > :13:06.every day, she expanded her bit and then she was regularly doing after
:13:07. > :13:12.20 or 30 miles a day. As she did that, her leg condition improved
:13:13. > :13:17.dramatically. Penny also has lymphoedema, again after cancer
:13:18. > :13:18.treatment. She also says she can manage your condition with
:13:19. > :13:24.compression stockings and keeping fit. By having good muscle tone, the
:13:25. > :13:31.tissues are sandwiched between good muscles in my calves and the
:13:32. > :13:34.compression stopping outside, therefore it reinforces the movement
:13:35. > :13:40.of fluid up the leg. So finally, I can make sure I have got I am having
:13:41. > :13:45.a good day, I can see my ankle bones. If I have a bad day, I know I
:13:46. > :13:55.had had to exercise more, or that night I need to put my feet up. But
:13:56. > :13:58.these are cyclists will not be putting theirs. Sandra's bicycle
:13:59. > :14:02.will also travel the entire route while the novice riders will join
:14:03. > :14:06.them. Jerry says it is about helping them discover exercise as well.
:14:07. > :14:10.People who have never been cycling have become inspired to start, and
:14:11. > :14:16.it is quite extraordinary how it is changing their lives. If you manage
:14:17. > :14:17.your lymphoedema this way, but also people who do not have it, it has
:14:18. > :14:23.been a life changing experience. What an incredible reaction, and
:14:24. > :14:27.good luck! Time for the sport now. We start with the loss of one
:14:28. > :14:30.of our leading football clubs. Women's Super League side
:14:31. > :14:32.Notts County Ladies have folded just two days before the start
:14:33. > :14:34.of their season. It leaves a squad including
:14:35. > :14:36.four England internationals without jobs and,
:14:37. > :14:40.in some cases, without homes. In a moment, we'll be talking
:14:41. > :14:43.to Notts County owner and chairman Alan Hardy about why he's
:14:44. > :14:45.shut down the Ladypies. But first, I've been talking
:14:46. > :14:47.to England international goalkeeper Carly Telford about the end
:14:48. > :14:58.of the club. It is heartbreaking, seeing your
:14:59. > :15:04.mates and people you know you might not see again, you have lived with
:15:05. > :15:07.for two or three years, it is depressing. That heartbreak was
:15:08. > :15:12.visible. This morning as the players left Meadow Lane for the last time.
:15:13. > :15:17.Simply put, the ladies had huge debts and were spending more than
:15:18. > :15:21.they were bringing in. Amelie side's bosses are outweighed by the
:15:22. > :15:27.marketing spin off but Alan Hardy said he could not take nearly ?1
:15:28. > :15:33.million of hit this season. He did not see it as a feasible business,
:15:34. > :15:38.but he has probably looked at the numbers and come to the conclusion
:15:39. > :15:43.that he doesn't want to do it any more. It is pretty heartbreaking. So
:15:44. > :15:48.we are all left in a boat that is sinking. This was a club that went
:15:49. > :15:52.to an FA Cup final less than two years ago. Some players were so
:15:53. > :15:56.angry, they found it safer not to speak today but I was able to ask
:15:57. > :16:05.Carly Telford what her message was to Alan Hardy. People with no home,
:16:06. > :16:08.stuff like that, I really would not want to see it again. There is
:16:09. > :16:15.probably people on the team that would have a lot to seemed to him --
:16:16. > :16:23.a lot to say to him. You can only talks much -- talks at online. Alan
:16:24. > :16:25.Hardy has joined us to talk about this.
:16:26. > :16:30.The first thing I want to pick up on is the timing, the suggestion you
:16:31. > :16:38.should have sorted the sooner everyone. I did my best. I have left
:16:39. > :16:44.no stone unturned in trying to rescue the team. As late as Tuesday
:16:45. > :16:49.night, Wednesday morning, we're still making urgent phone calls and
:16:50. > :16:52.trying to raise funds, trying to get support for our organisation, to try
:16:53. > :16:58.and save the club. But at the end of the day, new south -- you have to
:16:59. > :17:03.say enough is enough. Why did you have to do this? There is a legacy
:17:04. > :17:12.debt that I inherited of around ?350,000 and the ongoing costs are
:17:13. > :17:15.?500,000 a year. We have had meetings on Mr Wheatley business,
:17:16. > :17:19.disabled have to drive costs down and if we can get them down to
:17:20. > :17:24.?200,000 a year lost they will support it. But it was just not
:17:25. > :17:29.viable. So how do teams like Manchester City or Arsenal make
:17:30. > :17:35.these things work? They are earning tens of millions of pounds, so for
:17:36. > :17:43.them to put ?1 million into the ladies club, they can do it. My
:17:44. > :17:46.whole pledge is about the community. I am devastated, gutted that we are
:17:47. > :17:50.having to say goodbye to the Ladypies. But I cannot afford it.
:17:51. > :18:00.Can you offer them any support or comfort? They may not feel it, but
:18:01. > :18:04.Jason Turner has been having ongoing conversations with the FA on a daily
:18:05. > :18:08.basis. No lady player will be evicted from their house. If that
:18:09. > :18:18.takes a few months, I will personally stand by their houses so
:18:19. > :18:19.there will be nobody evicted. Already some players have gone to
:18:20. > :18:20.other clubs. Now, just one question
:18:21. > :18:22.for Forest fans. Can they avoid
:18:23. > :18:24.relegation this season? Just look at the table, three games
:18:25. > :18:29.to go, they are just one point clear So for the supporters,
:18:30. > :18:32.it will be a nail-biting High hopes at the start of this
:18:33. > :18:42.season - how did it end like this? Three games left, and relegation
:18:43. > :18:46.a very real possibility. Keep being told that the team's
:18:47. > :18:49.too good to be relegated. Some very good teams have gone down,
:18:50. > :18:55.we have to make sure we do everything in our power
:18:56. > :18:59.to show the quality that we possess in the
:19:00. > :19:01.changing room, to give It's a three-game season
:19:02. > :19:04.now, simple as that. Frustration for the fans -
:19:05. > :19:07.new manager, new players and talk of a new owner all so far failing
:19:08. > :19:10.to find the formula for success No player, no staff member
:19:11. > :19:15.wants it on their CV. This is a tremendous club,
:19:16. > :19:18.with a lot of very What we have to do is try and keep
:19:19. > :19:25.the club and maintain status and build from there,
:19:26. > :19:28.there's no doubt about the damage it Players, too, facing the prospect
:19:29. > :19:32.of life in League 1 next season. It's a massive challenge,
:19:33. > :19:34.because the teams on our heels and the teams around us
:19:35. > :19:37.will all be fighting us. Hopefully, we will show
:19:38. > :19:39.that we wanted more than them As for the Forest fans,
:19:40. > :19:43.just one important question, They've got enough quality
:19:44. > :19:52.in the team to survive this season. They just haven't been
:19:53. > :19:57.good enough all season. It's going to be hard,
:19:58. > :20:01.but to be honest with you, it might just be because there's
:20:02. > :20:03.three worse teams. With the likes of Ben Brereton
:20:04. > :20:05.upfront and Britt Assombalonga, I'm sure they can pull
:20:06. > :20:08.it back, absolutely. So, Forest face Reading
:20:09. > :20:14.here at the City Ground tomorrow, the first of three must win games
:20:15. > :20:18.that will make or break the season. Angela Rafferty,
