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