That's all from the BBC News at Six. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:03 | |
It's almost 6:30, you're watching
East Midlands Today. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:05 | |
Tonight: the internet scam that's
left a Nottinghamshire | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
man £200,000 poorer. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:16 | |
The victim has lost his home and
pension after forging a French ship | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
with a woman online. I fully
understand how people could take | 0:00:19 | 0:00:24 | |
their own lives because of shame,
embarrassment or just the fact that | 0:00:24 | 0:00:29 | |
all their money has been taken from
them. Also tonight, Brexit means | 0:00:29 | 0:00:35 | |
Brexit. The EU pulls the plug on
Notre Dame's European capital of | 0:00:35 | 0:00:40 | |
culture bed. Plus the drive to make
a drone style flying car, but will | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
it ever get off the ground? And who
is this the's BBC East Midlands | 0:00:45 | 0:00:52 | |
unsung hero? Natalie ASBO to tell
the winner. Ed is about to tell. | 0:00:52 | 0:01:02 | |
Good evening. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
Welcome to Thursday's
programme with Dominic Heale | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
and me, Anne Davies. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:06 | |
Good evening. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:07 | |
First tonight, a Nottinghamshire
man who was conned out | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
of £200,000 in an online scam
is sharing his story, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:15 | |
to try to stop other people falling
victim to fraudsters. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
The victim, who wants
to remain anonymous, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
has lost his pension and home
after falling for a pack of lies | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
concocted by a woman
claiming to live in America. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:29 | |
He's now working with
Nottinghamshire Police to raise | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
awareness of online fraud. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
Sarah Teale reports. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
It started out as a
friendship forged online. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
A Nottinghamshire man,
who we are calling Simon to | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
protect his identity, began chatting
to a woman called Dora. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
He fell for her sob story,
that her father had | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
died, being owed gold from a mine
in Ghana where he had worked, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:54 | |
and the only way to release the gold | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
was to pay security costs. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
Simon paid up. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
Over the space of three years,
he ended up giving the fraudsters | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
£200,000. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
I was pretty upset with myself,
with being caught out, really. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
I would go five or six days
without eating, and then I | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
plunged into depression. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
I fully understand how
people can take their | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
own lives because of shame,
embarrassment or just the fact that | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
all their money has
been taken from them. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
When Simon eventually realised
he had been scammed, | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
he went to the bank and the police. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
He is now working with
Nottinghamshire Police | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
to stop other people becoming
the victims of online fraudsters. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:37 | |
They are trying to find
avenues to make you | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
believe, and they are looking
for vulnerabilities, the emotional | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
story, which we want to believe
and sometimes we can feel sorry for | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
these people, which is
just part of the trick. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:52 | |
Never send any money
over the internet. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
We simply do not know
who these people are. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
I think that would
be our best advice. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
Once you get that
money abroad, you will | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
never, ever see it again. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
These people are scammers. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:05 | |
These are scandalous people. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
OUt to rob anyone that they can. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
They pick on people,
be it romantically, be it business, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
financially, of whatever. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
You will not see your money again. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
Simon has lost his pension,
have a house that | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
he owned with a relative,
and other savings. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
But I have the strength to say
to myself, I need to get out | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
of this. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:32 | |
I need to dust myself down,
stop wallowing in self-pity and | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
get on with it. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:41 | |
Illnesses like flu claimed thousands
of elderly people's lives | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
last winter in the East Midlands. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
What are called "excess winter
deaths" reached the second-highest | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
level in eight years, according
to the very latest figures. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
Our health correspondent
Rob Sissons is here. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
So, how significant was the rise
in deaths last winter? | 0:03:55 | 0:04:05 | |
It was quite significant, because it
was higher than the highest figure | 0:04:07 | 0:04:12 | |
we have had, which is 2014, 15. That
was particularly bad. Taking a look | 0:04:12 | 0:04:17 | |
at the figures you can see here but
across England and Wales, more than | 0:04:17 | 0:04:23 | |
34,000 excess deaths as they call
them in the Meadows, it was over | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
3000. That is the number of deaths
over and above what you would expect | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
in a huge amount runs went up. When
set claiming more lives. Can | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
anything be done about it? The
experts tell us that what people | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
need to do is common sense. If you
feel unwell, go to the doctor. Go to | 0:04:40 | 0:04:46 | |
the pharmacy. When you go outside,
wrap up warm. Make sure that you | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
have plenty of layers on, that you
also have the blue jab. That is the | 0:04:51 | 0:04:56 | |
best protection, against these
problems that we keep hearing about. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:02 | |
I spoke to an expert from Public
Health England in the East Midlands. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
She had some other tips for people. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
Other advice would be
around keeping warm, | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
making sure that your house
is heated to at least 18 degrees. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
Layering up when you
go outside as well. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:16 | |
Keeping an eye on elderly relatives,
visiting the pharmacist | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
if you feel unwell,
with cold or flu symptoms, | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
and perhaps ringing the GP's surgery
if you're feeling really unwell. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:30 | |
One thing these figures don't tell
us is what it will be like this | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
winter. We do know that view is
particularly bad, has been bad in | 0:05:33 | 0:05:40 | |
Australia and New Zealand, so there
are predictions it will be a bad | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
winter for flu. We also know that
East Midlands has had the highest, | 0:05:43 | 0:05:49 | |
third-highest rate of excess winter
deaths last winter. People are | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
hoping that it will not be as bad
this time round. Fingers crossed. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
Brexit means Nottingham can no
longer compete in the competition | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
to become European Capital
of Culture in 2023. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
That's according to
the European Commission, | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
which says the city,
and four other UK bids should be | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
immediately excluded. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
Today's announcement has
sparked political fury. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:12 | |
But those behind Nottingham's bid
have pledged to keep the city's | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
cultural heritage alive,
inside or outside of Europe. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
Carolyn Moses reports. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:28 | |
I colourful showcase any
purpose-built inflatable art | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
sculpture. This but August when
Nottingham unveiled its ambition to | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
take its place on the European
cultural stage. Showcasing art, | 0:06:36 | 0:06:42 | |
music, literature and sport. And
just last month, with the formal bid | 0:06:42 | 0:06:48 | |
put forward along with four other UK
cities, there was still high hopes | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
of success. It gives us an
opportunity to show that we are a | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
great cultural European city. To
share a fantastic culture and arts | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
we have. Those hopes have now been
shredded, days before the winning | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
city was due to be announced, the
European Commission has ruled the UK | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
and Nottingham but no longer be
eligible. The important thing is | 0:07:10 | 0:07:15 | |
that it has been a very worthwhile
process. The bed and that we | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
submitted is very strong. Our
ambition is to carry that forward | 0:07:19 | 0:07:25 | |
regardless of this decision, so
there are many elements and the | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
theme of the bed, we want to take
forward. We are still very ambitious | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
for the cultural sector in
Nottingham. It had covered the cost | 0:07:32 | 0:07:37 | |
around £150,000 to prepare this big.
Now there is pressure mounting on | 0:07:37 | 0:07:42 | |
the Prime Minister to act, took
ensure that by banning Nottingham | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
and the UK from entering this EU
competition that cultural ties are | 0:07:45 | 0:07:51 | |
not severed post Brexit. It is clear
tonight and they are under strain. | 0:07:51 | 0:08:04 | |
Still to come this evening:
could a flying car finally | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
be on the horizon? | 0:08:07 | 0:08:12 | |
It's been a dream for decades,
but now a prototype could be | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
about to get off the ground,
right here in the East Midlands. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:25 | |
Two men arrested yesterday,
in connection with raids | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
on cashpoints, have been released. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:37 | |
-- remain in custody. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:43 | |
It follows a police
investigation into dozens | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
of attacks, often using
diggers, on ATM machines | 0:08:45 | 0:08:46 | |
across the East Midlands. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:47 | |
The two women were arrested
in Lutterworth in Leicestershire. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
Two men arrested in Warwickshire
are still in custody. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
Severn Trent says it's making good
progress on reducing sewer | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
flooding and leakage. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:55 | |
Releasing its half-year figures,
the water company said it'd | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
reduced leakage by 4 million litres
a day and has halved | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
external sewer flooding. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:01 | |
More than £300 million has been
spent on improvements. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:03 | |
Experts at the University
of Nottingham have concluded that | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
cloning doesn't caused early ageing. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
Last year the team published
Nottingham Dollies research | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
which showed that the eight-year-old
Nottingham 'Dollies' | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
had aged normally. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
They have now published
a radiographic assessment | 0:09:16 | 0:09:17 | |
of the skeletons of Dolly,
her naturally conceived daughter, | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
and the first two sheep to be cloned
from differentiated cells. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
A protest's taken place
this evening, over plans | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
to build some massive
new warehouses in Leicestershire. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
A planning meeting's getting
underway as we speak, | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
to discuss the plans for Magna Park
near Lutterworth, | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
which would see the distribution
complex double in size. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
Some people believe it's
big enough already. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
Our reporter Giles Taylor
is at the meeting tonight. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:52 | |
Good evening. This incredible space
it hang a 42 of Ponting Ford | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
aerodrome, where the meeting got
underway have few minutes ago. There | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
is seating here for 400 people with
the council hiring this play | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
specifically because of the level of
interest. I had been finding out a | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
little bit more about what a local
resident concerns are. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
Along the busy A5
in Leicestershire it | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
sits Magna Park. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:20 | |
Already one of the biggest sites of | 0:10:20 | 0:10:21 | |
its kind in Europe, it is home
to some big-name brands like Argos, | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
Asda and others. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:26 | |
It is ideally located
to access the M1 and in 69. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
New plans have been
submitted for expansion. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
Residents are unhappy. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
It will be overbearing
on the villages. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
It is going to bring
extra traffic at extra | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
pollution. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
It is also going to bring
jobs that we don't need. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:46 | |
The proposals are into sections
of the northern side. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
Builders say if approved,
it will bring thousands | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
more jobs to the area,
but for those living | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
in the nearby villages,
it is | 0:10:53 | 0:10:54 | |
a step too far. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
Over 80% of people don't
live around here who | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
work at the Park, because the number
of people unemployed is so low. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:05 | |
We are going to be covered
and overrun with warehousing | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
and I reckon we are
going to have a surplus. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:14 | |
Campaigners have already lost
previous battles against expansion, | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
and were tonight's plans
recommended for approval, | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
they fear the result
may well be the same. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
The District Council bowed
to the pressure of big | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
business, it will bring them
business rates, and so we are just | 0:11:26 | 0:11:30 | |
only the resident and we don't have
the money and the loud enough voices | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
to be heard over the developers. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:44 | |
Tonight's meeting will continue
until midnight. Both the council and | 0:11:47 | 0:11:51 | |
developers have told us they will
not be commenting until the | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
conclusion, and Brigadier latest
into an iPod like bulletin at | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
10:30pm. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
Now, from time to time,
we have occasion to take | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
local councils to task. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:04 | |
But fair's fair, and tonight one
of our councils stands nominated | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
for a kind of local government
Oscar. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:08 | |
Yes, step forward Newark
and Sherwood District, | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
currently nominated for the title
'Council of the Year' by a leading | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
local government journal. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:15 | |
Why? | 0:12:15 | 0:12:16 | |
What's it's been doing? | 0:12:16 | 0:12:17 | |
Geeta Pendse's been
to Newark to find out. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:22 | |
A town steeped in
history and tradition. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
But now Newark and the surrounding
areas are being praised | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
as places of growth and innovation. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
Newark and Sherwood district council
has been nominated for the | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
Council of the year,
in a prestigious competition. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:38 | |
This is one of the reasons why. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:43 | |
The building of a new £7 million
council house in the town. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
This is our hub area where members
of staff can come... | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
For 40 years, staff
were at Kelham Hall, but the | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
councils say the move
will save money. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
A grade one listed building
obviously has maintenance costs, | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
which are substantially greater
than a modern building. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
We have built in every
possible energy efficiency | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
into here, so both in the repairs
and maintenance costs, the running | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
costs of these buildings, we have
saved just over £500,000 a year. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:15 | |
As well as the Council
house, over the | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
last three years the local authority
has invested in a new leisure | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
centre, and extra care
facility and in this, | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
the National Civil War Centre. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
The councils say it has attracted
visitors here, which is | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
good for local businesses. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
But also the ticket sales mean
that the council has a revenue. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
Already for the light switch on. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:37 | |
Are you open on Sunday? | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
And businesses seem to be
noticing a change, too. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
There are less and less
shops that are empty, | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
which is good for any town. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
And more and more new
businesses coming in, | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
young entrepreneurs as well,
and I think the combination of those | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
together is making
us a vibrant town. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
There is certainly a vibrance
about the district, and about the | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
things that the council are doing
with the move to the new premises, | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
and an overall encouragement
for businesses to relocate. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:06 | |
The authority will
find out next year if | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
they have done enough to convince
the local government Chronicle award | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
judges to crown them
council of the year. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:21 | |
If you're fed up constantly
being stuck in traffic jams, | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
some blue-sky thinking
could be the solution. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:30 | |
If you've got a spare
£1.5 million, a Nottingham-based | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
company would like you to consider
one of its electric flying cars. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
They could be in production
within the next few years. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
Quentin Rayner reports. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:47 | |
The idea of a flying car is not as
far-fetched as you would think. Have | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
few years ago James May apply in the
Aero car, developed in America in | 0:14:51 | 0:14:57 | |
the 1940s. Petrol powered, its wings
folded back when used as a car and | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
it flew at 100 mph with a range of
300 miles. Absolutely fabulous. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:12 | |
Almost 30 years later, are we about
to see the new version take-off as a | 0:15:12 | 0:15:18 | |
possible idea? Those behind it think
so. Come the Mac say their electric | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
flying car will be able to and land
vertically, of roots and driveways | 0:15:22 | 0:15:27 | |
and driveways and even water. Part
of the journey could be in the air | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
and the rest on the road. It would
initially be flown by a qualified | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
pilot but eventually it could self
fly. Here are some of the specs. It | 0:15:35 | 0:15:40 | |
will carry two people and have a
cruising speed of 200 mph. It could | 0:15:40 | 0:15:46 | |
live to one hour with a rate of 75
miles. It includes an emergency | 0:15:46 | 0:15:51 | |
parachute system. VRCO is developing
it with the University of Derby. £10 | 0:15:51 | 0:15:58 | |
million of investment is ignored,
and it will have full size | 0:15:58 | 0:16:03 | |
operational model certified reply by
the end of 2020. Back in the 40s, | 0:16:03 | 0:16:09 | |
the Aero car never to cough because
of the cost and the need to have | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
eight separate licences and
certificates to operate it. Maybe | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
now is the time to land this big
idea. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:27 | |
It looks like a larger drone. Who
knows if it will happen? Now it is | 0:16:27 | 0:16:34 | |
time for the sport. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:35 | |
We start with rugby
because the England, | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
Lions and Leicester Tigers forward,
Tom Croft, says he broke down | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
when he was told he would have
to retire from the sport he loves. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
A neck injury has forced Croft
to hang up his boots for good | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
after a 26-year career,
and in an honest and emotional | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
interview, he told Colin Hazelden
retiring feels brutal. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:57 | |
He was a back row forward,
but you could never keep in there. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:03 | |
This is where Tom Croft thrived. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
Tearing away and tearing
through tackles on the wing. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
Freaky tackling. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:08 | |
Some of the tries
that he scored, we have | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
missed that the last
couple of years. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
He is such a fantastic athlete. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:13 | |
But now the days of pulling
on a rugby shirt are over. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
A back specialist
called time, and that | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
hurt more than any injury. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:24 | |
You speak to some
ex-players, and said, it is | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
like a bereavement,
it is like you have lost something. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
I have done for it 16 years,
from the Academy, and now | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
I won't be doing it any more. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
There are memories the galore. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
Time to capitalise'
tools, the pinnacle of | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
any player's career. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
And tries like this bit
of glory for England in the | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
Six Nations, a forward
dancing through a defence. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
COMMENTATOR: Absolutely brilliant! | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
Croft says he treasured every first,
but really | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
loved winning trophies for Tigers. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
Being there in the final gives that
little bit more of an inflated | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
chest, but every involvement
in every success with the club or | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
country or with Lions has been
a huge landmark in my career. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:06 | |
Another big thing that
I found hard was when my | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
little boy, who is starting to
interact and know more about what I | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
do, he won't now get that chance
and see me in a game any more. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:18 | |
But obviously you Tube
is a wonderful thing. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
I'm sure I will bore him to hell
with what daddy used to do. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:27 | |
Most of us would love
to have Tom Croft's legacy, | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
as the hashtag said,
thank you, Crofty. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:34 | |
Yes, thanks, Crofty -
what a servant to the game, | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
on and off the pitch. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
More from him on our BBC
Leicester Sport Facebook page. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
Now, it s a big night
for basketball fans tomorrow. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
Team GB are taking on Greece
for a place in the qualifiers | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
for the Basketball World Cup
right here in Leicester. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:53 | |
It's the first time a game of this
size has been staged | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
at the Arena, and more than 2,000
fans are expected to be there. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
It is a massive coup for the city,
as the very best players | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
will be out on court,
all bidding for a place | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
in the 2019 finals in China. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
Little wonder people
are getting excited. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:15 | |
It is awesome. I am excited to
welcome such a talented group in | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
hell. We have been watching a lot of
their practices. It is good to be a | 0:19:18 | 0:19:23 | |
great atmosphere on Friday. Great
for the Leicester arena, and the | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
Leicester Riders. To be hosting such
a great event with two big teams. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
And finally from me tonight,
the winner of our BBC | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
East Midlands Unsung Hero award. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:33 | |
This year, there
were three finalists. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
Roy Stowell who has served
Charnwood Athletics club for 42 | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
years, and the amazing Ishmail Saleh
from Leicester who has built | 0:19:38 | 0:19:43 | |
a martial arts club. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:48 | |
But it is mum-of-two and fitness
fanatic Denise Larrad | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
who is our winner,
and earlier I went to see her. | 0:19:51 | 0:20:00 | |
Here I am, this morning at this
community centre in Hinckley with | 0:20:00 | 0:20:05 | |
the trophy. Inside there is a long
winner, Denise Larrad. Let's remind | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
ourselves why she is so incredible.
In 2012, Denise Larrad was nominated | 0:20:09 | 0:20:17 | |
to run with the Olympic torch, after
running over 200 have marathons | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
herself to raise money for charity.
She then decided to devote herself | 0:20:21 | 0:20:26 | |
to getting others fit. She leads
walking and running groups, | 0:20:26 | 0:20:32 | |
befriending or -- orienteering and
fitness classes for the elderly, to | 0:20:32 | 0:20:38 | |
prevent falls. Some in her groups
have dementia, Parkinson's and | 0:20:38 | 0:20:44 | |
epilepsy and abominable. She works
night so she can spend her days | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
getting others fit. All generations.
She does at around the clock and | 0:20:48 | 0:20:52 | |
last year she walked or ran nine
miles a day, helping others to get | 0:20:52 | 0:20:58 | |
active. She says, you're never too
old to get fit and empowers so many | 0:20:58 | 0:21:04 | |
people in her local community. We
are about to surprise her. We are | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
heading in a little room here, got
the trophy. I am excited. Let's go. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:23 | |
Trainees thinks she is here for a
photocall, but Denise... | 0:21:30 | 0:21:35 | |
Congratulations, I am here to
announce you are our BBC unsung hero | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
of the year for the Midlands. Here
is the trophy. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
APPLAUSE
Congratulations. How do you feel? | 0:21:41 | 0:21:49 | |
Really surprised. I thought the
other entrants were amazing. You | 0:21:49 | 0:21:54 | |
think to yourself, what you do is
not, what other people do is | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
amazing. I just want to get people
moving. It is so important so | 0:21:58 | 0:22:03 | |
important to move... You are going
to have us all in tears. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:08 | |
LAUGHTER
Green Graham nominated you. Tell us | 0:22:08 | 0:22:14 | |
why Denise is a worthy winner. She
changes people's lives. It is | 0:22:14 | 0:22:19 | |
absolutely amazing. You see here
just if you have the people whose | 0:22:19 | 0:22:23 | |
lives she has passed. She gets them
healthier, people do things they | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
never thought they could normally
do. They start of not being able to | 0:22:27 | 0:22:32 | |
run 100 yards. Within a few years,
she has them running marathons. That | 0:22:32 | 0:22:37 | |
is life changing. For their health
and well-being, it is incredible. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:42 | |
Denise well now go into the national
final and two BBC's sport | 0:22:42 | 0:22:49 | |
personality on December 17. I am so
excited. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
LAUGHTER
She is the BBC East Midlands unsung | 0:22:51 | 0:22:57 | |
hero. Congratulations, Denise.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:22:57 | 0:23:06 | |
Fantastic and emotional. That was so
lovely. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
Now, the story of a dramatic,
real-life World War Two prison | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
escape which was immortalised
in a major film, | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
set in the Derbyshire
village of Swanwick. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
This week marks 60
years since the release | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
of The One That Got Away,
which tells the story | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
of Flying Officer Franz Von Werra's
escape from a POW camp | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
in the village. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
Our reporter Navtej Johal has been
to Swanwick to meet three | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
people whose families were affected
by the presence of the camp. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:41 | |
A cocky World War II prisoner, a
dramatic escape, and a chase across | 0:23:42 | 0:23:48 | |
continents. No wonder this man's
Hollywood where the tail was | 0:23:48 | 0:23:53 | |
immortalised in film. The One That
Got Away was released in cinemas 60 | 0:23:53 | 0:23:58 | |
years ago this week and it is here
in lb where the Flying Officer along | 0:23:58 | 0:24:04 | |
with four other prisoners made their
escape to this tunnel in 1940 from | 0:24:04 | 0:24:09 | |
the conference centre which then
doubled as a prison. But Jaime would | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
have been the site of the prisoner
of war camp. The assistant manager | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
knows more about this place than
most. His uncle was also a prisoner | 0:24:17 | 0:24:23 | |
here towards the end of the war. He
just said to be one day, I was | 0:24:23 | 0:24:29 | |
prisoner there and I was looked
after. I offered to show him around, | 0:24:29 | 0:24:35 | |
he would never come, and he would
never speak about it. I have got | 0:24:35 | 0:24:39 | |
used to it. I am proud to say it
now, and I say it often, Mallorca | 0:24:39 | 0:24:44 | |
was a prisoner here. John's fellow
villagers know how the prisoners | 0:24:44 | 0:24:48 | |
were looked after. Surely's father
would test the prisoners' dies. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:56 | |
Helen's would mend their shoes. But
the horrors of the war prevented | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
them from speaking about it openly.
I don't ever remember them | 0:24:59 | 0:25:05 | |
mentioning it at all. I think they
looked at them as people who were | 0:25:05 | 0:25:10 | |
there, prisoners of war, but they
never would think that they would | 0:25:10 | 0:25:15 | |
when everything. I am very proud of
him. I find it quite touching, | 0:25:15 | 0:25:24 | |
thinking about it. It he was a
Christian and a preacher. He was | 0:25:24 | 0:25:32 | |
practising what he preached. That
was my dad. Ayes he made it from | 0:25:32 | 0:25:38 | |
Khan and was captured and sent to
Canada from where he escaped again. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:43 | |
Eventually made it to Bellingham.
His story may have been seen across | 0:25:43 | 0:25:47 | |
the world, but many of the lives he
passed are still here in this | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
village. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
-- lives he touched. More things
now, here's the weather. | 0:25:54 | 0:26:01 | |
-- lives he touched. More things
now, here's the weather. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
Quite cold as we head towards the
weekend. Very briefly, to likeI | 0:26:03 | 0:26:09 | |
watch photo. We did have a stunning
sunset across much of the East | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
Midlands. Keep your pictures coming
in. Mostly dry, plenty of late | 0:26:13 | 0:26:18 | |
autumn sunshine, but it is set to be
cold. Already feeling cold out | 0:26:18 | 0:26:25 | |
there, should stay dry almost about
to the night, clear skies, a rate of | 0:26:25 | 0:26:30 | |
one and two eyes -- icy showers.
Low-temperature is three Celsius. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:35 | |
That is in towns and cities. Neural
sheltered spots close to freezing. A | 0:26:35 | 0:26:40 | |
touch of Frost here and there. A
chilly start to Friday, and it | 0:26:40 | 0:26:47 | |
remains fairly cold throughout. Lots
of autumn sunshine, temperatures at | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
best reaching a high of six Celsius.
We do have a light wind, and with | 0:26:51 | 0:26:57 | |
that sunshine it will feel pleasant
out and about. The rest of one or | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
two showers pushing in here from the
Cheshire cat, particularly in the | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
evening. These are set to continue
Friday, and meant to be very cold | 0:27:04 | 0:27:09 | |
into Saturday. They could fall as
wintry or even a bit of snow of snow | 0:27:09 | 0:27:13 | |
have higher ground. Saturday, Italy
cold, lots of sunshine yet again. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:19 | |
Kempton is hovering around five
Celsius. The risk of it wintry | 0:27:19 | 0:27:23 | |
showers. Cold on Sunday, before some
wet and windy weather arrives on | 0:27:23 | 0:27:30 | |
Monday. It is certainly time to wrap
up warm. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:37 | |
Eight fleece and staff man. I am
going to be a hat person. Enough | 0:27:37 | 0:27:42 | |
already. There is an image. Good
night. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:48 |
