0:00:10 > 0:00:15of illegally dumped waste.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19The raid in Nottingham comes just over a year after a warehouse
0:00:19 > 0:00:24containing tonnes of plastic went up in flames. Also tonight, looking out
0:00:24 > 0:00:27for the homeless. New figures show how many there are and where they

0:00:47 > 0:00:51Leicester.And it began life as an experiment. Now BBC local radio
0:00:51 > 0:00:52celebrates its first 50 years.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Good evening.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Welcome to Wednesday's programme with Anne Davies
0:01:03 > 0:01:04and me, Dominic Heale.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Good evening.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07First tonight - the police and the Environment Agency have
0:01:07 > 0:01:09made their first arrests in connection with a huge fire
0:01:09 > 0:01:13involving illegally stored plastic waste.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16The blaze at Walesby in Nottinghamshire threw a column
0:01:16 > 0:01:19of smoke into the air that could be seen for miles -
0:01:19 > 0:01:23and it smouldered for a month.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26The inquiry centres on three men who ran a company offering waste
0:01:26 > 0:01:27disposal and recycling services.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Two other sites are also involved.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35Mike O'Sullivan reports.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Early morning, and police and the Environment Agency raid
0:01:38 > 0:01:39a flat in Sneinton Dale in Nottingham.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43The Environment Agency want to question a 40-year-old man
0:01:43 > 0:01:47over a huge fire of illegally stored ways at a business park
0:01:47 > 0:01:50over a huge fire of illegally stored waste at a business park
0:01:50 > 0:01:51in Walesby in Nottinghamshire.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Thousands of tonnes of material went up in flames.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57We believe that people have been taking waste into the site
0:01:57 > 0:02:00and at some point in time, that waste caught fire.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01There was a considerable amount of waste.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03That waste is commercial, industrial, household type waste,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06recyclable materials that have gone into the site, large quantities,
0:02:06 > 0:02:13several thousand tonnes and potentially leading to a large
0:02:13 > 0:02:17amount of money for the people that are involved in it.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19It happened at the Oakham Farm business park in Walesby
0:02:19 > 0:02:20in September 2016.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Smoke billowing into the sky from rented premises.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Not thought to be started deliberately, but it
0:02:24 > 0:02:26smouldered for around a month.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29The police are getting the man ready now to be taken away to the police
0:02:29 > 0:02:33station after being arrested and they say inside, they have found
0:02:33 > 0:02:3641 cannabis plants as well.
0:02:36 > 0:02:46The Environment Agency also want to question the man over lesser
0:02:49 > 0:02:51amounts of illegally stored waste at an industrial estate
0:02:51 > 0:02:53in Sutton Bonnington in Nottinghamshire and at
0:02:53 > 0:02:55a farm near Haven in Leicestershire.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58The fire at Walesby has left the owners there with a big bill.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01The cause of the fire, we are not entirely sure what started the fire.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05What we do know is the operators of that site are going to be left with
0:03:05 > 0:03:10a massive bill. The Environment Agency has been working with the
0:03:10 > 0:03:12operators of the site to secure appropriate waste disposal for the
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Ashes and any remaining waste on site and, of course, they lost both
0:03:16 > 0:03:22of their buildings in the fire. Raids were also carried out in
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Rotherham, South Yorkshire. A 46-year-old man voluntarily attended
0:03:25 > 0:03:28a police station there and was arrested and questioned. The inquiry
0:03:28 > 0:03:34centres on three men running a waste disposal company.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36And there's been a further serious incident of what's
0:03:36 > 0:03:38been called municipal waste being fly-tipped in
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Nottinghamshire today.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Many tonnes of shredded solid waste has been dumped on a lay-by.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45It's on Blyth Road between Harworth and Blyth in the Bassetlaw district.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49It's now being investigated by the Environment Agency Enforcement Team.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54Before the waste can be removed, the council has to give its waste
0:03:54 > 0:04:03transfer station samples to confirm whether they're prepared to take it.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07A court has heard how a so-called black money scam led to the death
0:04:07 > 0:04:10of a man whose body was found in a Leicester car park.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Promise Ndlovu was part of a plot aimed at a group
0:04:13 > 0:04:15of Asian men in Leicester.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19The accused are charged with falsely imprisoning him and two of them also
0:04:19 > 0:04:21face a manslaughter charge.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Geeta Pendse has been following the case at Nottingham Crown Court.
0:04:24 > 0:04:34What are the circumstances around Promise Ndlovu's death?
0:04:34 > 0:04:44Well, the court heard Promise Ndlovu - who was 40 and from Zimbabwe -
0:04:44 > 0:04:48arrived at the Kapital building in Leicester on the 28th
0:04:48 > 0:04:53of October last year with a group of African men.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57They were there for a deal to buy land with the five defendants
0:04:57 > 0:04:58from Leicester who worked in the building.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02The court heard the African men had brought with them a bag
0:05:02 > 0:05:07full of black paper, cut to look like bank notes.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10They claimed that the black paper would be turned into cash
0:05:10 > 0:05:13by the addition of a chemical.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15And they even demonstrated this with a real bank note.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17But this was all a scam.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20And the prosecution claim this lead to Ndlovu's death?
0:05:20 > 0:05:25And the prosecution claim this led to Ndlovu's death?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Yes, that's right, the court heard Ndlovu remained at the Kapital
0:05:28 > 0:05:32building in Leicester as a form of human security whilst
0:05:32 > 0:05:40the deal was going through.
0:05:40 > 0:05:49But when things turned sour,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51the prosecution claim he was held
0:05:51 > 0:05:52there against his will.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54The court was played a recording of a phone call from Ndlovu
0:05:55 > 0:05:56to the emergency services,
0:05:56 > 0:05:57where he is heard screaming for help.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Prosecutor Lloyd-Jones QC told the court Ndlovu's body was dumped
0:06:00 > 0:06:02at the Charter Street car park in Leicester by four
0:06:02 > 0:06:05of the defendants, where a member of the public later discovered him.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Kehar Hayer and Kuldeep Singh are accused of manslaughter.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12The pair, along with Ramandeep Dhaliwal, Bikramjeet Singh
0:06:12 > 0:06:14and Kulwinder Singh, are accused of conspiracy to commit false
0:06:14 > 0:06:19imprisonment and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21All five deny the charges and the trail continues
0:06:21 > 0:06:28at Nottingham Crown Court.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Thank you.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32A man's been charged with arson after a police car
0:06:32 > 0:06:34was set on fire in Derby at the weekend.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35It happened in Overseal while the officers
0:06:35 > 0:06:36were patrolling on foot.
0:06:36 > 0:06:3930-year-old Mark Wilkinson from Woodville appeared
0:06:40 > 0:06:41before magistrates today.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43He's been remanded in custody and is due to appear
0:06:43 > 0:06:46at Derby Crown Court next month.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48A man's been charged in connection with the stabbing
0:06:48 > 0:06:50of a 19-year-old man in Nottingham.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53It happened in the Lenton area last week.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57The victim remains in a serious condition in hospital.
0:06:57 > 0:07:0022-year-old Lea Reece Anderson, of Albert Grove, Nottingham
0:07:00 > 0:07:04is charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent
0:07:04 > 0:07:07and being in possession of an offensive weapon.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09An 18-year-old arrested on suspicion of attempted murder
0:07:09 > 0:07:11remains in police custody.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Businesses in Nottingham with historic shop fronts
0:07:13 > 0:07:21are being given the chance to give their signage
0:07:21 > 0:07:22and entrances a face lift.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Nearly a million pounds has been raised by The City Council,
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Historic England and private investment.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29It'll be spent on repairing and replacing 30 shop fronts
0:07:29 > 0:07:32in both the Lace Market, and the centre of the city.
0:07:32 > 0:07:39The hope is it will restore iconic buildings to their former glory.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Still to come - to the BBC, a baby.
0:07:42 > 0:07:4550 years ago today.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Yes, we look back at the launch of BBC Radio Leicester -
0:07:48 > 0:07:50the first of 40 BBC local stations now broadcasting
0:07:50 > 0:07:51across the country.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03The charity Shelter says the number of people classed as homeless
0:08:03 > 0:08:08in our region could now stand at around 2,500.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Many, including families, are living in temporary accommodation.
0:08:12 > 0:08:18In a few moments, we'll being speaking to a senior policy
0:08:18 > 0:08:20In a few moments, we'll be speaking to a senior policy
0:08:20 > 0:08:23officer from Shelter, but first Simon Ward has been taking
0:08:23 > 0:08:25a more detailed look at the figures.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Well, as the cold weather begins to set in, the issue of being homeless
0:08:28 > 0:08:30and living on the streets is highlighted, but organisations,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33including Shelter, work to reduce the problems all year round.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Shelter's estimated numbers have been compiled
0:08:37 > 0:08:40from a number of sources, including Government figures.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42They suggest for our part of the East Midlands,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44there are almost 2,500 people who are homeless.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46The number of people sleeping rough is 184.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50and those in temporary accommodation is more than 2,300.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53That includes people and families in hostels and others
0:08:53 > 0:08:57sleeping on friends' sofas.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00One of our towns, Melton Mowbray, is ranked at 94 in the list,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03per head of population in England by Shelter.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Although there were no people sleeping rough included in these
0:09:06 > 0:09:08figures from the last year, more than 100 people
0:09:08 > 0:09:09are classed as homeless.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12They're in various types of temporary accommodation.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Nottingham is the East Midlands city with the highest numbers.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18650 homeless and 35 sleeping rough.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Professor Jo Richardson, from Leicester de Montfort University,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24studies housing and social issues.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28She spoke about some of the causes that lead to becoming homeless.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Costs are rising and people aren't in employment that is going to meet
0:09:32 > 0:09:37those housing costs and other living costs so, yes, homelessness
0:09:37 > 0:09:41is on the rise.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44There is also change to benefits, with Universal Credit, and we know
0:09:44 > 0:09:46this is having an impact.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48There are a range of studies which demonstrate this is having
0:09:48 > 0:09:51an impact and we are seeing it on our streets.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52The figures out today are only estimates,
0:09:52 > 0:09:53using a range of data.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56The number of people who are homeless and those sleeping
0:09:56 > 0:09:59rough changes every day, but this does give a general idea
0:09:59 > 0:10:08about how many people are coping without a permanent place to live.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Simon, thank you.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11John Bibby is a senior policy officer with
0:10:11 > 0:10:12the housing charity Shelter.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16John, good evening, thanks for joining us.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17How bad do these figures look?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Well, I think people will be shocked to hear that there are hundreds
0:10:20 > 0:10:23of people living in their community who are homeless and that can cover
0:10:23 > 0:10:24a whole range of things.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28So that means in some cases, they are bedding down on the street,
0:10:28 > 0:10:29on the pavement, for the evening.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32In other cases, they are crammed into places like a hostel
0:10:32 > 0:10:36with their entire family sometimes, crammed into a single room,
0:10:36 > 0:10:40so I think that people understand that homelessness is getting worse
0:10:40 > 0:10:44but I think when you see there are thousands of people
0:10:44 > 0:10:55across the region who are now living as homeless, hundreds of people
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Now, if you could ask the Government for one
0:10:56 > 0:11:00thing to do to tackle it, what would it be?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Well, in the short term, it has to be about reversing some
0:11:03 > 0:11:06of the welfare cuts that we've had in recent years, because they are
0:11:06 > 0:11:10really the single biggest cause, in the last couple of years,
0:11:10 > 0:11:14in this uptick, but in the long term, we also need to invest in more
0:11:14 > 0:11:16affordable homes as well, so people don't get into this
0:11:17 > 0:11:18situation in the first place.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22And as briefly as possible, is this likely to get even worse?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Well, I think unless we see some change in the budget that's coming
0:11:25 > 0:11:28soon to reverse those welfare cuts, yes, it will get worse.
0:11:28 > 0:11:34OK, John Bibby, thank you very much for speaking to us.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36A Syrian refugee has told us how she was "overwhelmed",
0:11:36 > 0:11:38by the welcome she received from her new neighbours
0:11:39 > 0:11:43in Nottinghamshire.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Manal Raweah's one of around 400 Syrians who've been placed
0:11:46 > 0:11:48in the East Midlands, as part of the Government's
0:11:48 > 0:11:49"resettlement" programme.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Manal's family was selected to come here after a terrifying escape
0:11:52 > 0:11:54from the Syrian civil war.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57And a warning - you might find their account of what happened
0:11:57 > 0:12:01to them, upsetting.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, reports.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08At their new home in Gedling, a reminder of a comfortable life
0:12:08 > 0:12:10that was shattered by war.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15Amjad used to drive buses, now he's desperate to work again.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Crochet is a passion for his wife Manal, who is now volunteering
0:12:17 > 0:12:20in Nottingham while she tries to improve her English
0:12:20 > 0:12:23to resume her career as a hospital lab technician.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26This is our flat...
0:12:26 > 0:12:29She had to leave that job because of repeated deadly air
0:12:29 > 0:12:32strikes near their apartment in the Syrian city of Idlib.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36When the plane came, I was standing in the kitchen
0:12:36 > 0:12:42and all of the glass of the window came over me.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46So I told my husband we have to leave Idlib,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49because it was very dangerous.
0:12:49 > 0:12:57Their city became a front line between rebel fighters
0:12:57 > 0:12:59and Syrian Government forces, so they headed for the Turkish
0:12:59 > 0:13:02border, a journey that brought new horrors.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05When we, like, tried to go out, we found some dead people
0:13:05 > 0:13:08on the ground, some people no heads.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10And when I see them, I'm shocked.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Why he dead, like?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Like, what's he done?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Leaving Syria meant becoming refugees and when Manal applied
0:13:17 > 0:13:23for what is known as free settlement, Britain
0:13:23 > 0:13:25for what is known as resettlement, Britain invited them here.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28This is the moment they boarded the plane for a welcome
0:13:28 > 0:13:33in Nottinghamshire that they will never forget.
0:13:33 > 0:13:33My neighbours are very kind and lovely neighbours
0:13:33 > 0:13:39and when we came to my house the first time, she gave to me
0:13:39 > 0:13:44flowers and tried to speak slowly, so I can understand
0:13:44 > 0:13:47what she is saying.
0:13:47 > 0:13:53The British people here are overwhelming us with kindness.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56The Nottinghamshire climate hasn't deterred them from trying to grow
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Syrian olives and grapes, and they all miss the people
0:13:59 > 0:14:04they left behind in Syria, but now their youngest sons
0:14:04 > 0:14:06are making new English friends at school.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09He said welcome to me and he helped me and a lot
0:14:09 > 0:14:14of English words, yeah, and I start to teach him some
0:14:14 > 0:14:17words in Arabic and then he saw my mum and he said to her,
0:14:17 > 0:14:20"Hello," in Arabic.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25I'm excited the first time I'm playing drums, yeah.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30I find it a little bit like scary, a little bit, yeah?
0:14:30 > 0:14:34And then me and my friends start to play Billie Jean together...
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Michael Jackson?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Yeah, Billie Jean.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Their parents are sticking with traditional Syrian drumming.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45This performance was for the charity workers who help them
0:14:45 > 0:14:46settle in Nottingham.
0:14:46 > 0:14:57A small way to say thank you.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02That is a lovely story. Jeremy, you are with us. How typical is this
0:15:02 > 0:15:06experience?That warm welcome certainly isn't unusual. I have
0:15:06 > 0:15:11personally met a number of Syrian families who have been touched by
0:15:11 > 0:15:14the support they have had from neighbours, churches, mosques and
0:15:14 > 0:15:18charities, like the one we saw there. I'm told there have been one
0:15:18 > 0:15:21or two cases in this region where families have had to be moved and
0:15:21 > 0:15:24that is because they were placed in parts of the East Midlands where
0:15:24 > 0:15:28they simply couldn't get enough support.So are we going to see more
0:15:28 > 0:15:33Syrian refugees here?We are and I'm told that this region is soon going
0:15:33 > 0:15:37to be the first part of the country to accept what is known as complex
0:15:37 > 0:15:41mobility cases. This might be people with war wounds, amputations, and
0:15:41 > 0:15:45they will be given empty properties, those properties will be converted
0:15:45 > 0:15:48using foreign aid money. We are expecting the next arrivals here by
0:15:48 > 0:15:56Christmas.Jeremy, thank you.
0:15:56 > 0:15:5924-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder
0:15:59 > 0:16:03following a hit-and-run in Leicester. Police were called just
0:16:03 > 0:16:06before midday yesterday to report a man had been hit by a car at the
0:16:06 > 0:16:13junction of the Croft and Hillsborough Road in Eyres Monsell.
0:16:13 > 0:16:19A man in his 20s remains in critical condition in hospital. Detectives
0:16:19 > 0:16:22want to speak to one who may have seen the incident or the events
0:16:22 > 0:16:23leading up to it.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Two people have been caught on camera breaking
0:16:25 > 0:16:27into a charity shop in Leicester.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30The Air Ambulance Service is one three shops in Wigston and Oadby
0:16:30 > 0:16:32that have been targeted by thieves earlier this week.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Cash was stolen in two of the burglaries.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Police are asking businesses in the area to remain vigilant.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Three former Rolls-Royce employees have pleaded guilty
0:16:41 > 0:16:45to bribery and corruption offences.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Earlier this year, the Derby-based firm paid over £670 million
0:16:48 > 0:16:53to settle corruption claims with UK and US authorities.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Following a joint investigation,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58charges against the men were brought in the United States.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Britain's corruption watchdog says it's continuing its investigations
0:17:02 > 0:17:10into people connected with the company.
0:17:10 > 0:17:1350 years of BBC local radio has been celebrated today in Leicester.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16In 1967, the city became the first to have its own station,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19as part of an experiment by the Corporation.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23It's now one of a network of 40 local services up
0:17:23 > 0:17:24and down the country.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Giles Taylor reports.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33This is Roger Matthews, welcome to Radio Leicester.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36November the 8th, 1967, and Radio Leicester became the very
0:17:36 > 0:17:40first in a new wave of BBC local radio stations.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43It began as a two-year experiment.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Ken Warburton was one of the original presenters.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50There was no book written about how do you do it,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52you just made it up and did it.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56And some of what we did was, I've got to say, pretty appalling,
0:17:56 > 0:17:59but it was locally appalling and some of what we did
0:17:59 > 0:18:02was really very good.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07The experiment was a success and 50 years on, there are now 40 stations
0:18:07 > 0:18:08all over the country.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11The milestone was celebrated today with a special performance by
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Leicester Cathedral's bell-ringers.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24BBC Radio Leicester moved to its current home in 2005
0:18:24 > 0:18:27and today, a special party was held in the foyer for around
0:18:27 > 0:18:3270 staff and editors from both past and present.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I think local radio is still really important.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38It is the sixth biggest radio network in England.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40It is important for connecting communities.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44It's also really important for holding people to account
0:18:44 > 0:18:50and I think it is just as relevant today as it was 50 years ago.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53People like listening in different ways, but actually,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55knowing what's going on, hearing about your place
0:18:55 > 0:19:01on the radio, in the news and having someone to go to when you are not
0:19:01 > 0:19:04sure where else to go to, that is not going to go away.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Meanwhile, around 1,000 fans are expected to enjoy a special
0:19:07 > 0:19:09birthday celebration tonight at de Montfort Hall.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17And if you want to find out more about the history of local
0:19:17 > 0:19:20radio on the BBC and more interesting facts about
0:19:20 > 0:19:30the organisation as a whole, then visit bbc.co.uk/historyofthebbc.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42You were part of that history, weren't you? And we have a picture.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46The remember this occasion? Oh, my goodness me.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51I can't work out why you are dressed in a tux.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56That is Dan Chisholm. We did a Saturday morning programme and we
0:19:56 > 0:20:01called it Listing In. It was terribly Edwardian, so we decided to
0:20:01 > 0:20:05wear black tie. Never wore it again. And you haven't
0:20:05 > 0:20:10changed a bit. Thank you! I am really can
0:20:10 > 0:20:11Still to come - it's been a day of clear blue skies.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13But are there clouds on the horizon?
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Anna's standing by.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17And join me at Chatsworth House as the staff deck the Halls for a
0:20:17 > 0:20:26Dickensian Christmas.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30I have still come over a bit peculiar after seeing that picture.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Time that this board, you can read it in the style of an old-style BBC
0:20:34 > 0:20:39radio presenter. I went for a job at BBC radio Leicester and I didn't get
0:20:39 > 0:20:41it, so I am not in the club. Sport now.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44The owner of Nottingham Forest and Olympiakos is to face trial over
0:20:44 > 0:20:46match-fixing allegations in Greece, the BBC understands.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Evangelos Marinakis bought Forest in May,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49passing the English Football League's
0:20:49 > 0:20:51owners' and directors' test.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Mr Marinakis has always denied
0:20:53 > 0:20:56any wrongdoing and it is unclear how this will affect Nottingham Forest.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59However, club chairman Nick Randall QC said in a letter
0:20:59 > 0:21:02to supporters in June that Mr Marinakis had made sure
0:21:02 > 0:21:06structures were in place regardless of his "individual fortunes".
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Staying with football, Mansfield are through to Friday's
0:21:10 > 0:21:12draw for the Checkatrade trophy knockout stages -
0:21:12 > 0:21:15but Notts County are out.
0:21:15 > 0:21:22It's after Notts went down 2-1 at Lincoln last night.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24A sold-out arena, a lively crowd, an historic occasion.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28But it wasn't enough to propel the Nottingham Panthers Ice Hockey
0:21:28 > 0:21:31team into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Britain's best ever performance in this competition ended
0:21:33 > 0:21:34with a brave defeat.
0:21:34 > 0:21:41Mark Shardlow reports.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46They came hoping for a night to remember, a night for the underdogs.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51Full stop but as you recall one of Europe's top teams and turning
0:21:51 > 0:21:54around a 2-goal deficit from the first leg needed a remarkable
0:21:54 > 0:22:02result. A brilliant double save by Mark Garnett of the Panthers captive
0:22:02 > 0:22:08Skulason typified the fight shown by the Nottingham team. But in the
0:22:08 > 0:22:10second period, the Swiss scored a goal, which left the Panthers with
0:22:10 > 0:22:11so much
0:22:11 > 0:22:13goal, which left the Panthers with so much to do. A second a few
0:22:13 > 0:22:16minutes later was tough to take, but had the noisy Swiss fans celebrated
0:22:16 > 0:22:21as they headed towards the quarterfinals. As the game moved on,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24the Panthers conceded too many penalties and had too many players
0:22:24 > 0:22:31off the ice in the bin. The final goal of the night left the score
0:22:31 > 0:22:333-10, 6-1 on aggregate. Even so, the
0:22:34 > 0:22:34goal of the night left the score 3-10, 6-1 on aggregate. Even so, the
0:22:34 > 0:22:43Panthers got a standing ovation on a night when they pushed the high
0:22:43 > 0:22:46ranked team for the whole of the game.I know we lost but we didn't
0:22:46 > 0:22:49fail. As a team, we played so hard. I think you can tell the
0:22:49 > 0:22:52appreciation we have and I think we did the league proud, so it is a
0:22:52 > 0:22:55pretty special thing for us but on the night, they were just too good.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59I couldn't be prouder of my guys by the way they battled.They left the
0:22:59 > 0:23:03ice shattered, putting on a great show the British ice hockey.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05In snooker, Nottingham-based Shaun Murphy
0:23:05 > 0:23:08has made the semi-finals of the Champion of Champions tournament.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11He joins Anthony Hamilton, who was born and raised in the city.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14And could a third East Midlander join them?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Leicester's Mark Selby
0:23:16 > 0:23:19needs one more win to do it after a 4-3 victory over
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Liang Wenbo, including this century break.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25He only landed back in Britain yesterday after winning a major
0:23:25 > 0:23:26tournament in China.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31So, jet-lagged and tired, but a winner.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41What I'm going to take away from the sport is Corey Neilson and his
0:23:41 > 0:23:44phrase "We lost, but we didn't fail."
0:23:44 > 0:23:50It was astonishing just to be playing there in the first place.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52There are 46 days to Christmas and only three
0:23:52 > 0:23:54until the annual festive display opens at Chatsworth House.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57This year's theme is based on the works of Charles Dickens.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58The Victorian writer was great friends
0:23:58 > 0:24:05with the sixth Duke of Devonshire, as Carol Hinds has been finding out.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Staff started planning this year's Christmas display at Chatsworth
0:24:08 > 0:24:15House as they took down last year's decorations. The theme for 2017 is
0:24:15 > 0:24:20based on Charles Dickens.We didn't want to just limit us in the late
0:24:20 > 0:24:22ourselves to Christmas Carol, everyone knows that story and it
0:24:22 > 0:24:25could be quite easy to do that but we have a huge house and we didn't
0:24:25 > 0:24:29want to get boring, wanted to shake it up a bit and give ourselves more
0:24:29 > 0:24:35atmosphere and more subject matter to explore.You, come close. Are you
0:24:35 > 0:24:39afraid of a woman who hasn't seen the light of day since before you
0:24:39 > 0:24:43were born? It is wonderful, it is wonderful. I
0:24:43 > 0:24:48mean, it is such a wonderful place and the dining room at Chatsworth is
0:24:48 > 0:24:52just the ideal place for Ms Havisham.Is it is will find room
0:24:52 > 0:24:59guides wearing period costumes as well as the key characters from the
0:24:59 > 0:25:04best of works of Charles Dickens brought to life.Handkerchief? What
0:25:04 > 0:25:11handkerchief? I never saw no handkerchief.No one knows what the
0:25:11 > 0:25:14sixth Duke of Devonshire would have made of faking being allowed to tour
0:25:14 > 0:25:21at Chatsworth House. He was great friends with his creator -- Fagin.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24We have the visitors book with Charles Dickens' signature on it and
0:25:24 > 0:25:28we have some of the correspondence between Dickens and the sixth Duke.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32There was quite a tight friendship there and he did stay several times.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36The Christmas display opens this Saturday and runs until the 7th of
0:25:36 > 0:25:41January.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46And definitely go. I think it must be the most beautiful Christmas
0:25:46 > 0:25:49decorations bear. It always excels, doesn't it? And
0:25:49 > 0:25:54Anna tells us it is going to be a white Christmas this year...
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Naughty Dominic! No, I don't, he said that, not me. Although I would
0:25:58 > 0:26:03like it to be a white Christmas. Weather-wise, from sunrise to sunset
0:26:03 > 0:26:04today with a little bit
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Weather-wise, from sunrise to sunset today with a little bit of frost in
0:26:06 > 0:26:11between, thank you for these weather Watchers photos, we have had some
0:26:11 > 0:26:14great weather today, a ridge of high pressure in charge and these are
0:26:14 > 0:26:19great photos, keep them coming in. A bit on a cloudy side tomorrow but
0:26:19 > 0:26:22there will be some sunshine as we head into the afternoon, so a couple
0:26:22 > 0:26:26of weather fronts heading our way overnight tonight but other than
0:26:26 > 0:26:30that, fairly quiet story over the next 24 hours. So fairly clear skies
0:26:30 > 0:26:34out there at the moment, quite chilly if you are heading out and
0:26:34 > 0:26:37about the cloud is set to increase from the north-west as we go through
0:26:37 > 0:26:41the night. It could produce one or two spots of rain but not amounting
0:26:41 > 0:26:48to much. Some hill fog potentially into the Peak District and low
0:26:48 > 0:26:51temperatures of three Celsius, so I think we will stay frost free. A
0:26:51 > 0:26:56murky and damp in places but it will improve and that cloud will start to
0:26:56 > 0:26:59improve and clear away and behind it, some sunshine as we get into the
0:26:59 > 0:27:03afternoon. A bit milder tomorrow, highs of 12 Celsius, so feeling
0:27:03 > 0:27:08quite pleasant when we do get the sunshine. Looking further ahead,
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Friday May start-ups quite cloudy but we will see sunshine in the
0:27:12 > 0:27:15afternoon. We are seeing some unsettled weather heading our way
0:27:15 > 0:27:20Friday night, so a smell of wet and windy weather to come but and the
0:27:20 > 0:27:24weekend as a whole looks like there will be a lot of dry weather, lots
0:27:24 > 0:27:27of autumn sunshine and it will be feeling rather
0:27:27 > 0:27:33chilly. That sounds sort of right for this time of year. So rejected
0:27:33 > 0:27:36by BBC Radio 4 stuff. Indeed, they said I would be better
0:27:36 > 0:27:41off at a lower level and here I am. They obviously got my letter, Colin.
0:27:41 > 0:27:47Clearly. I will be back with the ladies at 10:30pm.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48With Anna!
