It's almost 6:30, you're watching

East Midlands Today.

0:00:050:00:07

Tonight, police carry out a dawn

raid in connection with a huge store

0:00:070:00:10

of illegally dumped waste.

0:00:100:00:15

The raid in Nottingham comes just

over a year after a warehouse

0:00:150:00:19

containing tonnes of plastic went up

in flames. Also tonight, looking out

0:00:190:00:24

for the homeless. New figures show

how many there are and where they

0:00:240:00:27

sleep. Plus the kindliness of

neighbours that has helped a Syrian

0:00:270:00:33

family rebuild their lives here in

the East Midlands.

People here are

0:00:330:00:40

overwhelming us in kindness.

This is

Roger Matthews, welcome to Radio

0:00:400:00:47

Leicester.

And it began life as an

experiment. Now BBC local radio

0:00:470:00:51

celebrates its first 50 years.

0:00:510:00:52

Good evening.

0:01:000:01:01

Welcome to Wednesday's

programme with Anne Davies

0:01:010:01:02

and me, Dominic Heale.

0:01:030:01:04

Good evening.

0:01:040:01:05

First tonight - the police

and the Environment Agency have

0:01:050:01:07

made their first arrests

in connection with a huge fire

0:01:070:01:09

involving illegally

stored plastic waste.

0:01:090:01:13

The blaze at Walesby

in Nottinghamshire threw a column

0:01:130:01:16

of smoke into the air that could be

seen for miles -

0:01:160:01:19

and it smouldered for a month.

0:01:190:01:23

The inquiry centres on three men

who ran a company offering waste

0:01:230:01:26

disposal and recycling services.

0:01:260:01:27

Two other sites are also involved.

0:01:270:01:30

Mike O'Sullivan reports.

0:01:300:01:35

Early morning, and police

and the Environment Agency raid

0:01:350:01:38

a flat in Sneinton Dale in

Nottingham.

0:01:380:01:39

The Environment Agency

want to question a 40-year-old man

0:01:390:01:43

over a huge fire of illegally stored

ways at a business park

0:01:430:01:47

over a huge fire of illegally stored

waste at a business park

0:01:470:01:50

in Walesby in Nottinghamshire.

0:01:500:01:51

Thousands of tonnes

of material went up in flames.

0:01:510:01:53

We believe that people have been

taking waste into the site

0:01:530:01:57

and at some point in time,

that waste caught fire.

0:01:570:02:00

There was a considerable

amount of waste.

0:02:000:02:01

That waste is commercial,

industrial, household type waste,

0:02:010:02:03

recyclable materials that have gone

into the site, large quantities,

0:02:030:02:06

several thousand tonnes

and potentially leading to a large

0:02:060:02:13

amount of money for the people

that are involved in it.

0:02:130:02:17

It happened at the Oakham Farm

business park in Walesby

0:02:170:02:19

in September 2016.

0:02:190:02:20

Smoke billowing into the sky

from rented premises.

0:02:200:02:22

Not thought to be started

deliberately, but it

0:02:220:02:24

smouldered for around a month.

0:02:240:02:26

The police are getting the man ready

now to be taken away to the police

0:02:260:02:29

station after being arrested

and they say inside, they have found

0:02:290:02:33

41 cannabis plants as well.

0:02:330:02:36

The Environment Agency also

want to question the man over lesser

0:02:360:02:46

amounts of illegally stored waste

at an industrial estate

0:02:490:02:51

in Sutton Bonnington

in Nottinghamshire and at

0:02:510:02:53

a farm near Haven in Leicestershire.

0:02:530:02:55

The fire at Walesby has left

the owners there with a big bill.

0:02:550:02:58

The cause of the fire, we are not

entirely sure what started the fire.

0:02:580:03:01

What we do know is the operators of

that site are going to be left with

0:03:010:03:05

a massive bill. The Environment

Agency has been working with the

0:03:050:03:10

operators of the site to secure

appropriate waste disposal for the

0:03:100:03:12

Ashes and any remaining waste on

site and, of course, they lost both

0:03:120:03:16

of their buildings in the fire.

Raids were also carried out in

0:03:160:03:22

Rotherham, South Yorkshire. A

46-year-old man voluntarily attended

0:03:220:03:25

a police station there and was

arrested and questioned. The inquiry

0:03:250:03:28

centres on three men running a waste

disposal company.

0:03:280:03:34

And there's been a further

serious incident of what's

0:03:340:03:36

been called municipal waste

being fly-tipped in

0:03:360:03:38

Nottinghamshire today.

0:03:380:03:39

Many tonnes of shredded solid waste

has been dumped on a lay-by.

0:03:390:03:42

It's on Blyth Road between Harworth

and Blyth in the Bassetlaw district.

0:03:420:03:45

It's now being investigated by the

Environment Agency Enforcement Team.

0:03:450:03:49

Before the waste can be removed,

the council has to give its waste

0:03:490:03:54

transfer station samples to confirm

whether they're prepared to take it.

0:03:540:04:03

A court has heard how a so-called

black money scam led to the death

0:04:030:04:07

of a man whose body was found

in a Leicester car park.

0:04:070:04:10

Promise Ndlovu was part

of a plot aimed at a group

0:04:100:04:12

of Asian men in Leicester.

0:04:130:04:15

The accused are charged with falsely

imprisoning him and two of them also

0:04:150:04:19

face a manslaughter charge.

0:04:190:04:21

Geeta Pendse has been following

the case at Nottingham Crown Court.

0:04:210:04:24

What are the circumstances around

Promise Ndlovu's death?

0:04:240:04:34

Well, the court heard Promise Ndlovu

- who was 40 and from Zimbabwe -

0:04:340:04:44

arrived at the Kapital building

in Leicester on the 28th

0:04:440:04:48

of October last year

with a group of African men.

0:04:480:04:53

They were there for a deal to buy

land with the five defendants

0:04:530:04:57

from Leicester who worked

in the building.

0:04:570:04:58

The court heard the African men had

brought with them a bag

0:04:580:05:02

full of black paper,

cut to look like bank notes.

0:05:020:05:07

They claimed that the black paper

would be turned into cash

0:05:070:05:10

by the addition of a chemical.

0:05:100:05:13

And they even demonstrated this

with a real bank note.

0:05:130:05:15

But this was all a scam.

0:05:150:05:17

And the prosecution claim this

lead to Ndlovu's death?

0:05:170:05:20

And the prosecution claim this

led to Ndlovu's death?

0:05:200:05:25

Yes, that's right, the court heard

Ndlovu remained at the Kapital

0:05:250:05:28

building in Leicester as a form

of human security whilst

0:05:280:05:32

the deal was going through.

0:05:320:05:40

But when things turned sour,

0:05:400:05:49

the prosecution claim he was held

0:05:490:05:51

there against his will.

0:05:510:05:52

The court was played a recording

of a phone call from Ndlovu

0:05:520:05:54

to the emergency services,

0:05:550:05:56

where he is heard

screaming for help.

0:05:560:05:57

Prosecutor Lloyd-Jones QC told

the court Ndlovu's body was dumped

0:05:570:06:00

at the Charter Street car park

in Leicester by four

0:06:000:06:02

of the defendants, where a member

of the public later discovered him.

0:06:020:06:05

Kehar Hayer and Kuldeep Singh

are accused of manslaughter.

0:06:050:06:07

The pair, along with

Ramandeep Dhaliwal, Bikramjeet Singh

0:06:070:06:12

and Kulwinder Singh, are accused

of conspiracy to commit false

0:06:120:06:14

imprisonment and conspiracy

to pervert the course of justice.

0:06:140:06:19

All five deny the charges

and the trail continues

0:06:190:06:21

at Nottingham Crown Court.

0:06:210:06:28

Thank you.

0:06:280:06:29

A man's been charged

with arson after a police car

0:06:290:06:32

was set on fire in Derby

at the weekend.

0:06:320:06:34

It happened in Overseal

while the officers

0:06:340:06:35

were patrolling on foot.

0:06:350:06:36

30-year-old Mark Wilkinson

from Woodville appeared

0:06:360:06:39

before magistrates today.

0:06:400:06:41

He's been remanded in custody

and is due to appear

0:06:410:06:43

at Derby Crown Court next month.

0:06:430:06:46

A man's been charged

in connection with the stabbing

0:06:460:06:48

of a 19-year-old man in Nottingham.

0:06:480:06:50

It happened in the Lenton

area last week.

0:06:500:06:53

The victim remains in a serious

condition in hospital.

0:06:530:06:57

22-year-old Lea Reece Anderson,

of Albert Grove, Nottingham

0:06:570:07:00

is charged with causing grievous

bodily harm with intent

0:07:000:07:04

and being in possession

of an offensive weapon.

0:07:040:07:07

An 18-year-old arrested

on suspicion of attempted murder

0:07:070:07:09

remains in police custody.

0:07:090:07:11

Businesses in Nottingham

with historic shop fronts

0:07:110:07:13

are being given the chance

to give their signage

0:07:130:07:21

and entrances a face lift.

0:07:210:07:22

Nearly a million pounds has been

raised by The City Council,

0:07:220:07:25

Historic England and private

investment.

0:07:250:07:26

It'll be spent on repairing

and replacing 30 shop fronts

0:07:260:07:29

in both the Lace Market,

and the centre of the city.

0:07:290:07:32

The hope is it will restore iconic

buildings to their former glory.

0:07:320:07:39

Still to come - to the BBC, a baby.

0:07:390:07:42

50 years ago today.

0:07:420:07:45

Yes, we look back at the launch

of BBC Radio Leicester -

0:07:450:07:48

the first of 40 BBC local

stations now broadcasting

0:07:480:07:50

across the country.

0:07:500:07:51

The charity Shelter says the number

of people classed as homeless

0:08:000:08:03

in our region could now stand

at around 2,500.

0:08:030:08:08

Many, including families, are living

in temporary accommodation.

0:08:080:08:12

In a few moments, we'll

being speaking to a senior policy

0:08:120:08:18

In a few moments, we'll be

speaking to a senior policy

0:08:180:08:20

officer from Shelter,

but first Simon Ward has been taking

0:08:200:08:23

a more detailed look at the figures.

0:08:230:08:25

Well, as the cold weather begins to

set in, the issue of being homeless

0:08:250:08:28

and living on the streets

is highlighted, but organisations,

0:08:280:08:30

including Shelter, work to reduce

the problems all year round.

0:08:300:08:33

Shelter's estimated

numbers have been compiled

0:08:330:08:37

from a number of sources,

including Government figures.

0:08:370:08:40

They suggest for our part

of the East Midlands,

0:08:400:08:42

there are almost 2,500 people

who are homeless.

0:08:420:08:44

The number of people

sleeping rough is 184.

0:08:440:08:46

and those in temporary

accommodation is more than 2,300.

0:08:460:08:50

That includes people and families

in hostels and others

0:08:500:08:53

sleeping on friends' sofas.

0:08:530:08:57

One of our towns, Melton Mowbray,

is ranked at 94 in the list,

0:08:570:09:00

per head of population

in England by Shelter.

0:09:000:09:03

Although there were no people

sleeping rough included in these

0:09:030:09:06

figures from the last year,

more than 100 people

0:09:060:09:08

are classed as homeless.

0:09:080:09:09

They're in various types

of temporary accommodation.

0:09:090:09:12

Nottingham is the East Midlands city

with the highest numbers.

0:09:120:09:14

650 homeless and 35 sleeping rough.

0:09:140:09:18

Professor Jo Richardson, from

Leicester de Montfort University,

0:09:180:09:21

studies housing and social issues.

0:09:210:09:24

She spoke about some of the causes

that lead to becoming homeless.

0:09:240:09:28

Costs are rising and people aren't

in employment that is going to meet

0:09:280:09:32

those housing costs and other living

costs so, yes, homelessness

0:09:320:09:37

is on the rise.

0:09:370:09:41

There is also change to benefits,

with Universal Credit, and we know

0:09:410:09:44

this is having an impact.

0:09:440:09:46

There are a range of studies

which demonstrate this is having

0:09:460:09:48

an impact and we are seeing it

on our streets.

0:09:480:09:51

The figures out today

are only estimates,

0:09:510:09:52

using a range of data.

0:09:520:09:53

The number of people

who are homeless and those sleeping

0:09:530:09:56

rough changes every day,

but this does give a general idea

0:09:560:09:59

about how many people are coping

without a permanent place to live.

0:09:590:10:08

Simon, thank you.

0:10:080:10:09

John Bibby is a senior

policy officer with

0:10:090:10:11

the housing charity Shelter.

0:10:110:10:12

John, good evening,

thanks for joining us.

0:10:120:10:16

How bad do these figures look?

0:10:160:10:17

Well, I think people will be shocked

to hear that there are hundreds

0:10:170:10:20

of people living in their community

who are homeless and that can cover

0:10:200:10:23

a whole range of things.

0:10:230:10:24

So that means in some cases,

they are bedding down on the street,

0:10:240:10:28

on the pavement, for the evening.

0:10:280:10:29

In other cases, they are crammed

into places like a hostel

0:10:290:10:32

with their entire family sometimes,

crammed into a single room,

0:10:320:10:36

so I think that people understand

that homelessness is getting worse

0:10:360:10:40

but I think when you see

there are thousands of people

0:10:400:10:44

across the region who are now living

as homeless, hundreds of people

0:10:440:10:55

Now, if you could ask

the Government for one

0:10:550:10:56

thing to do to tackle it,

what would it be?

0:10:560:11:00

Well, in the short term,

it has to be about reversing some

0:11:000:11:03

of the welfare cuts that we've had

in recent years, because they are

0:11:030:11:06

really the single biggest cause,

in the last couple of years,

0:11:060:11:10

in this uptick, but in the long

term, we also need to invest in more

0:11:100:11:14

affordable homes as well,

so people don't get into this

0:11:140:11:16

situation in the first place.

0:11:170:11:18

And as briefly as possible,

is this likely to get even worse?

0:11:180:11:22

Well, I think unless we see some

change in the budget that's coming

0:11:220:11:25

soon to reverse those welfare cuts,

yes, it will get worse.

0:11:250:11:28

OK, John Bibby, thank you very

much for speaking to us.

0:11:280:11:34

A Syrian refugee has told us how

she was "overwhelmed",

0:11:340:11:36

by the welcome she received

from her new neighbours

0:11:360:11:38

in Nottinghamshire.

0:11:390:11:43

Manal Raweah's one of around 400

Syrians who've been placed

0:11:430:11:46

in the East Midlands,

as part of the Government's

0:11:460:11:48

"resettlement" programme.

0:11:480:11:49

Manal's family was selected to come

here after a terrifying escape

0:11:490:11:52

from the Syrian civil war.

0:11:520:11:54

And a warning - you might

find their account of what happened

0:11:540:11:57

to them, upsetting.

0:11:570:12:01

Our Social Affairs Correspondent,

Jeremy Ball, reports.

0:12:010:12:04

At their new home in Gedling,

a reminder of a comfortable life

0:12:050:12:08

that was shattered by war.

0:12:080:12:10

Amjad used to drive buses,

now he's desperate to work again.

0:12:100:12:15

Crochet is a passion for his wife

Manal, who is now volunteering

0:12:150:12:17

in Nottingham while she tries

to improve her English

0:12:170:12:20

to resume her career

as a hospital lab technician.

0:12:200:12:23

This is our flat...

0:12:230:12:26

She had to leave that job

because of repeated deadly air

0:12:260:12:29

strikes near their apartment

in the Syrian city of Idlib.

0:12:290:12:32

When the plane came,

I was standing in the kitchen

0:12:320:12:36

and all of the glass of the window

came over me.

0:12:360:12:42

So I told my husband

we have to leave Idlib,

0:12:420:12:46

because it was very dangerous.

0:12:460:12:49

Their city became a front line

between rebel fighters

0:12:490:12:57

and Syrian Government forces,

so they headed for the Turkish

0:12:570:12:59

border, a journey that

brought new horrors.

0:12:590:13:02

When we, like, tried to go out,

we found some dead people

0:13:020:13:05

on the ground, some people no heads.

0:13:050:13:08

And when I see them, I'm shocked.

0:13:080:13:10

Why he dead, like?

0:13:100:13:11

Like, what's he done?

0:13:110:13:14

Leaving Syria meant becoming

refugees and when Manal applied

0:13:140:13:17

for what is known as free

settlement, Britain

0:13:170:13:23

for what is known as resettlement,

Britain invited them here.

0:13:230:13:25

This is the moment they boarded

the plane for a welcome

0:13:250:13:28

in Nottinghamshire that they

will never forget.

0:13:280:13:33

My neighbours are very kind

and lovely neighbours

0:13:330:13:33

and when we came to my house

the first time, she gave to me

0:13:330:13:39

flowers and tried to speak slowly,

so I can understand

0:13:390:13:44

what she is saying.

0:13:440:13:47

The British people here

are overwhelming us with kindness.

0:13:470:13:53

The Nottinghamshire climate hasn't

deterred them from trying to grow

0:13:530:13:56

Syrian olives and grapes,

and they all miss the people

0:13:560:13:59

they left behind in Syria,

but now their youngest sons

0:13:590:14:04

are making new English

friends at school.

0:14:040:14:06

He said welcome to me

and he helped me and a lot

0:14:060:14:09

of English words, yeah,

and I start to teach him some

0:14:090:14:14

words in Arabic and then

he saw my mum and he said to her,

0:14:140:14:17

"Hello," in Arabic.

0:14:170:14:20

I'm excited the first time I'm

playing drums, yeah.

0:14:200:14:25

I find it a little bit like scary,

a little bit, yeah?

0:14:250:14:30

And then me and my friends start

to play Billie Jean together...

0:14:300:14:34

Michael Jackson?

0:14:340:14:35

Yeah, Billie Jean.

0:14:350:14:39

Their parents are sticking

with traditional Syrian drumming.

0:14:390:14:42

This performance was for the charity

workers who help them

0:14:420:14:45

settle in Nottingham.

0:14:450:14:46

A small way to say thank you.

0:14:460:14:57

That is a lovely story. Jeremy, you

are with us. How typical is this

0:14:570:15:02

experience?

That warm welcome

certainly isn't unusual. I have

0:15:020:15:06

personally met a number of Syrian

families who have been touched by

0:15:060:15:11

the support they have had from

neighbours, churches, mosques and

0:15:110:15:14

charities, like the one we saw

there. I'm told there have been one

0:15:140:15:18

or two cases in this region where

families have had to be moved and

0:15:180:15:21

that is because they were placed in

parts of the East Midlands where

0:15:210:15:24

they simply couldn't get enough

support.

So are we going to see more

0:15:240:15:28

Syrian refugees here?

We are and I'm

told that this region is soon going

0:15:280:15:33

to be the first part of the country

to accept what is known as complex

0:15:330:15:37

mobility cases. This might be people

with war wounds, amputations, and

0:15:370:15:41

they will be given empty properties,

those properties will be converted

0:15:410:15:45

using foreign aid money. We are

expecting the next arrivals here by

0:15:450:15:48

Christmas.

Jeremy, thank you.

0:15:480:15:56

24-year-old man has been arrested on

suspicion of attempted murder

0:15:560:15:59

following a hit-and-run in

Leicester. Police were called just

0:15:590:16:03

before midday yesterday to report a

man had been hit by a car at the

0:16:030:16:06

junction of the Croft and

Hillsborough Road in Eyres Monsell.

0:16:060:16:13

A man in his 20s remains in critical

condition in hospital. Detectives

0:16:130:16:19

want to speak to one who may have

seen the incident or the events

0:16:190:16:22

leading up to it.

0:16:220:16:23

Two people have been

caught on camera breaking

0:16:230:16:25

into a charity shop in Leicester.

0:16:250:16:27

The Air Ambulance Service is one

three shops in Wigston and Oadby

0:16:270:16:30

that have been targeted by thieves

earlier this week.

0:16:300:16:32

Cash was stolen in two

of the burglaries.

0:16:320:16:34

Police are asking businesses

in the area to remain vigilant.

0:16:340:16:37

Three former Rolls-Royce

employees have pleaded guilty

0:16:390:16:41

to bribery and corruption offences.

0:16:410:16:45

Earlier this year, the Derby-based

firm paid over £670 million

0:16:450:16:48

to settle corruption claims with UK

and US authorities.

0:16:480:16:53

Following a joint investigation,

0:16:530:16:55

charges against the men were brought

in the United States.

0:16:550:16:58

Britain's corruption watchdog says

it's continuing its investigations

0:16:580:17:02

into people connected

with the company.

0:17:020:17:10

50 years of BBC local radio has been

celebrated today in Leicester.

0:17:100:17:13

In 1967, the city became the first

to have its own station,

0:17:130:17:16

as part of an experiment

by the Corporation.

0:17:160:17:19

It's now one of a network

of 40 local services up

0:17:190:17:23

and down the country.

0:17:230:17:24

Giles Taylor reports.

0:17:240:17:28

This is Roger Matthews,

welcome to Radio Leicester.

0:17:280:17:33

November the 8th, 1967,

and Radio Leicester became the very

0:17:330:17:36

first in a new wave of BBC

local radio stations.

0:17:360:17:40

It began as a two-year experiment.

0:17:400:17:43

Ken Warburton was one

of the original presenters.

0:17:430:17:46

There was no book written

about how do you do it,

0:17:460:17:50

you just made it up and did it.

0:17:500:17:52

And some of what we did was,

I've got to say, pretty appalling,

0:17:520:17:56

but it was locally appalling

and some of what we did

0:17:560:17:59

was really very good.

0:17:590:18:02

The experiment was a success and 50

years on, there are now 40 stations

0:18:020:18:07

all over the country.

0:18:070:18:08

The milestone was celebrated today

with a special performance by

0:18:080:18:11

Leicester Cathedral's bell-ringers.

0:18:110:18:15

BBC Radio Leicester moved

to its current home in 2005

0:18:200:18:24

and today, a special party was held

in the foyer for around

0:18:240:18:27

70 staff and editors

from both past and present.

0:18:270:18:32

I think local radio

is still really important.

0:18:320:18:34

It is the sixth biggest

radio network in England.

0:18:340:18:38

It is important for

connecting communities.

0:18:380:18:40

It's also really important

for holding people to account

0:18:400:18:44

and I think it is just as relevant

today as it was 50 years ago.

0:18:440:18:50

People like listening

in different ways, but actually,

0:18:500:18:53

knowing what's going on,

hearing about your place

0:18:530:18:55

on the radio, in the news and having

someone to go to when you are not

0:18:550:19:01

sure where else to go to,

that is not going to go away.

0:19:010:19:04

Meanwhile, around 1,000 fans

are expected to enjoy a special

0:19:040:19:07

birthday celebration tonight

at de Montfort Hall.

0:19:070:19:09

And if you want to find out more

about the history of local

0:19:140:19:17

radio on the BBC and more

interesting facts about

0:19:170:19:20

the organisation as a whole, then

visit bbc.co.uk/historyofthebbc.

0:19:200:19:30

You were part of that history,

weren't you? And we have a picture.

0:19:370:19:42

The remember this occasion?

Oh, my goodness me.

0:19:420:19:46

I can't work out why you are dressed

in a tux.

0:19:460:19:51

That is Dan Chisholm. We did a

Saturday morning programme and we

0:19:510:19:56

called it Listing In. It was

terribly Edwardian, so we decided to

0:19:560:20:01

wear black tie.

Never wore it again. And you haven't

0:20:010:20:05

changed a bit.

Thank you! I am really can

0:20:050:20:10

Still to come - it's been a day

of clear blue skies.

0:20:100:20:11

But are there clouds on the horizon?

0:20:110:20:13

Anna's standing by.

0:20:130:20:15

And join me at Chatsworth House

as the staff deck the Halls for a

0:20:150:20:17

Dickensian Christmas.

0:20:170:20:26

I have still come over a bit

peculiar after seeing that picture.

0:20:260:20:30

Time that this board, you can read

it in the style of an old-style BBC

0:20:300:20:34

radio presenter. I went for a job at

BBC radio Leicester and I didn't get

0:20:340:20:39

it, so I am not in the club. Sport

now.

0:20:390:20:41

The owner of Nottingham Forest

and Olympiakos is to face trial over

0:20:410:20:44

match-fixing allegations in Greece,

the BBC understands.

0:20:440:20:46

Evangelos Marinakis

bought Forest in May,

0:20:460:20:47

passing the English

Football League's

0:20:470:20:49

owners' and directors' test.

0:20:490:20:51

Mr Marinakis has always denied

0:20:510:20:53

any wrongdoing and it is unclear how

this will affect Nottingham Forest.

0:20:530:20:56

However, club chairman

Nick Randall QC said in a letter

0:20:560:20:59

to supporters in June that

Mr Marinakis had made sure

0:20:590:21:02

structures were in place regardless

of his "individual fortunes".

0:21:020:21:06

Staying with football,

Mansfield are through to Friday's

0:21:080:21:10

draw for the Checkatrade trophy

knockout stages -

0:21:100:21:12

but Notts County are out.

0:21:120:21:15

It's after Notts went down 2-1

at Lincoln last night.

0:21:150:21:22

A sold-out arena, a lively crowd,

an historic occasion.

0:21:220:21:24

But it wasn't enough to propel

the Nottingham Panthers Ice Hockey

0:21:240:21:28

team into the quarter-finals

of the Champions League.

0:21:280:21:31

Britain's best ever performance

in this competition ended

0:21:310:21:33

with a brave defeat.

0:21:330:21:34

Mark Shardlow reports.

0:21:340:21:41

They came hoping for a night to

remember, a night for the underdogs.

0:21:410:21:46

Full stop but as you recall one of

Europe's top teams and turning

0:21:460:21:51

around a 2-goal deficit from the

first leg needed a remarkable

0:21:510:21:54

result. A brilliant double save by

Mark Garnett of the Panthers captive

0:21:540:22:02

Skulason typified the fight shown by

the Nottingham team. But in the

0:22:020:22:08

second period, the Swiss scored a

goal, which left the Panthers with

0:22:080:22:10

so much

0:22:100:22:11

goal, which left the Panthers with

so much to do. A second a few

0:22:110:22:13

minutes later was tough to take, but

had the noisy Swiss fans celebrated

0:22:130:22:16

as they headed towards the

quarterfinals. As the game moved on,

0:22:160:22:21

the Panthers conceded too many

penalties and had too many players

0:22:210:22:24

off the ice in the bin. The final

goal of the night left the score

0:22:240:22:31

3-10, 6-1 on aggregate. Even so, the

0:22:310:22:33

goal of the night left the score

3-10, 6-1 on aggregate. Even so, the

0:22:340:22:34

Panthers got a standing ovation on a

night when they pushed the high

0:22:340:22:43

ranked team for the whole of the

game.

I know we lost but we didn't

0:22:430:22:46

fail. As a team, we played so hard.

I think you can tell the

0:22:460:22:49

appreciation we have and I think we

did the league proud, so it is a

0:22:490:22:52

pretty special thing for us but on

the night, they were just too good.

0:22:520:22:55

I couldn't be prouder of my guys by

the way they battled.

They left the

0:22:550:22:59

ice shattered, putting on a great

show the British ice hockey.

0:22:590:23:03

In snooker, Nottingham-based

Shaun Murphy

0:23:030:23:05

has made the semi-finals of the

Champion of Champions tournament.

0:23:050:23:08

He joins Anthony Hamilton,

who was born and raised in the city.

0:23:080:23:11

And could a third East

Midlander join them?

0:23:110:23:14

Leicester's Mark Selby

0:23:140:23:16

needs one more win to do it

after a 4-3 victory over

0:23:160:23:19

Liang Wenbo, including

this century break.

0:23:190:23:22

He only landed back in Britain

yesterday after winning a major

0:23:220:23:25

tournament in China.

0:23:250:23:26

So, jet-lagged and

tired, but a winner.

0:23:260:23:31

What I'm going to take away from the

sport is Corey Neilson and his

0:23:370:23:41

phrase "We lost, but we didn't

fail."

0:23:410:23:44

It was astonishing just to be

playing there in the first place.

0:23:440:23:50

There are 46 days to

Christmas and only three

0:23:500:23:52

until the annual festive display

opens at Chatsworth House.

0:23:520:23:54

This year's theme is based

on the works of Charles Dickens.

0:23:540:23:57

The Victorian writer

was great friends

0:23:570:23:58

with the sixth Duke of Devonshire,

as Carol Hinds has been finding out.

0:23:580:24:05

Staff started planning this year's

Christmas display at Chatsworth

0:24:050:24:08

House as they took down last year's

decorations. The theme for 2017 is

0:24:080:24:15

based on Charles Dickens.

We didn't

want to just limit us in the late

0:24:150:24:20

ourselves to Christmas Carol,

everyone knows that story and it

0:24:200:24:22

could be quite easy to do that but

we have a huge house and we didn't

0:24:220:24:25

want to get boring, wanted to shake

it up a bit and give ourselves more

0:24:250:24:29

atmosphere and more subject matter

to explore.

You, come close. Are you

0:24:290:24:35

afraid of a woman who hasn't seen

the light of day since before you

0:24:350:24:39

were born?

It is wonderful, it is wonderful. I

0:24:390:24:43

mean, it is such a wonderful place

and the dining room at Chatsworth is

0:24:430:24:48

just the ideal place for Ms

Havisham.

Is it is will find room

0:24:480:24:52

guides wearing period costumes as

well as the key characters from the

0:24:520:24:59

best of works of Charles Dickens

brought to life.

Handkerchief? What

0:24:590:25:04

handkerchief? I never saw no

handkerchief.

No one knows what the

0:25:040:25:11

sixth Duke of Devonshire would have

made of faking being allowed to tour

0:25:110:25:14

at Chatsworth House. He was great

friends with his creator -- Fagin.

0:25:140:25:21

We have the visitors book with

Charles Dickens' signature on it and

0:25:210:25:24

we have some of the correspondence

between Dickens and the sixth Duke.

0:25:240:25:28

There was quite a tight friendship

there and he did stay several times.

0:25:280:25:32

The Christmas display opens this

Saturday and runs until the 7th of

0:25:320:25:36

January.

0:25:360:25:41

And definitely go. I think it must

be the most beautiful Christmas

0:25:410:25:46

decorations bear.

It always excels, doesn't it? And

0:25:460:25:49

Anna tells us it is going to be a

white Christmas this year...

0:25:490:25:54

Naughty Dominic! No, I don't, he

said that, not me. Although I would

0:25:540:25:58

like it to be a white Christmas.

Weather-wise, from sunrise to sunset

0:25:580:26:03

today with a little bit

0:26:030:26:04

Weather-wise, from sunrise to sunset

today with a little bit of frost in

0:26:040:26:06

between, thank you for these weather

Watchers photos, we have had some

0:26:060:26:11

great weather today, a ridge of high

pressure in charge and these are

0:26:110:26:14

great photos, keep them coming in. A

bit on a cloudy side tomorrow but

0:26:140:26:19

there will be some sunshine as we

head into the afternoon, so a couple

0:26:190:26:22

of weather fronts heading our way

overnight tonight but other than

0:26:220:26:26

that, fairly quiet story over the

next 24 hours. So fairly clear skies

0:26:260:26:30

out there at the moment, quite

chilly if you are heading out and

0:26:300:26:34

about the cloud is set to increase

from the north-west as we go through

0:26:340:26:37

the night. It could produce one or

two spots of rain but not amounting

0:26:370:26:41

to much. Some hill fog potentially

into the Peak District and low

0:26:410:26:48

temperatures of three Celsius, so I

think we will stay frost free. A

0:26:480:26:51

murky and damp in places but it will

improve and that cloud will start to

0:26:510:26:56

improve and clear away and behind

it, some sunshine as we get into the

0:26:560:26:59

afternoon. A bit milder tomorrow,

highs of 12 Celsius, so feeling

0:26:590:27:03

quite pleasant when we do get the

sunshine. Looking further ahead,

0:27:030:27:08

Friday May start-ups quite cloudy

but we will see sunshine in the

0:27:080:27:12

afternoon. We are seeing some

unsettled weather heading our way

0:27:120:27:15

Friday night, so a smell of wet and

windy weather to come but and the

0:27:150:27:20

weekend as a whole looks like there

will be a lot of dry weather, lots

0:27:200:27:24

of autumn sunshine and it will be

feeling rather

0:27:240:27:27

chilly. That sounds sort of right

for this time of year. So rejected

0:27:270:27:33

by BBC Radio 4 stuff.

Indeed, they said I would be better

0:27:330:27:36

off at a lower level and here I am.

They obviously got my letter, Colin.

0:27:360:27:41

Clearly. I will be back with the

ladies at 10:30pm.

0:27:410:27:47

With Anna!
