That's all from the BBC News at Six.

0:00:000:00:03

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

East Midlands Today.

0:00:030:00:05

Tonight: the internet scam that's

left a Nottinghamshire

0:00:050:00:07

man £200,000 poorer.

0:00:070:00:16

The victim has lost his home and

pension after forging a French ship

0:00:160:00:19

with a woman online.

I fully

understand how people could take

0:00:190:00:24

their own lives because of shame,

embarrassment or just the fact that

0:00:240:00:29

all their money has been taken from

them.

Also tonight, Brexit means

0:00:290:00:35

Brexit. The EU pulls the plug on

Notre Dame's European capital of

0:00:350:00:40

culture bed. Plus the drive to make

a drone style flying car, but will

0:00:400:00:45

it ever get off the ground? And who

is this the's BBC East Midlands

0:00:450:00:52

unsung hero? Natalie ASBO to tell

the winner. Ed is about to tell.

0:00:520:01:02

Good evening.

0:01:020:01:03

Welcome to Thursday's

programme with Dominic Heale

0:01:030:01:05

and me, Anne Davies.

0:01:050:01:06

Good evening.

0:01:060:01:07

First tonight, a Nottinghamshire

man who was conned out

0:01:070:01:09

of £200,000 in an online scam

is sharing his story,

0:01:090:01:15

to try to stop other people falling

victim to fraudsters.

0:01:150:01:19

The victim, who wants

to remain anonymous,

0:01:190:01:21

has lost his pension and home

after falling for a pack of lies

0:01:210:01:24

concocted by a woman

claiming to live in America.

0:01:240:01:29

He's now working with

Nottinghamshire Police to raise

0:01:290:01:31

awareness of online fraud.

0:01:310:01:33

Sarah Teale reports.

0:01:330:01:37

It started out as a

friendship forged online.

0:01:370:01:40

A Nottinghamshire man,

who we are calling Simon to

0:01:400:01:42

protect his identity, began chatting

to a woman called Dora.

0:01:420:01:47

He fell for her sob story,

that her father had

0:01:470:01:49

died, being owed gold from a mine

in Ghana where he had worked,

0:01:490:01:54

and the only way to release the gold

0:01:540:01:56

was to pay security costs.

0:01:560:01:58

Simon paid up.

0:01:580:02:00

Over the space of three years,

he ended up giving the fraudsters

0:02:000:02:03

£200,000.

0:02:030:02:06

I was pretty upset with myself,

with being caught out, really.

0:02:060:02:10

I would go five or six days

without eating, and then I

0:02:100:02:12

plunged into depression.

0:02:130:02:15

I fully understand how

people can take their

0:02:150:02:18

own lives because of shame,

embarrassment or just the fact that

0:02:180:02:22

all their money has

been taken from them.

0:02:220:02:26

When Simon eventually realised

he had been scammed,

0:02:260:02:28

he went to the bank and the police.

0:02:280:02:30

He is now working with

Nottinghamshire Police

0:02:300:02:32

to stop other people becoming

the victims of online fraudsters.

0:02:320:02:37

They are trying to find

avenues to make you

0:02:370:02:39

believe, and they are looking

for vulnerabilities, the emotional

0:02:390:02:43

story, which we want to believe

and sometimes we can feel sorry for

0:02:430:02:47

these people, which is

just part of the trick.

0:02:470:02:52

Never send any money

over the internet.

0:02:520:02:54

We simply do not know

who these people are.

0:02:540:02:57

I think that would

be our best advice.

0:02:570:03:00

Once you get that

money abroad, you will

0:03:000:03:02

never, ever see it again.

0:03:020:03:04

These people are scammers.

0:03:040:03:05

These are scandalous people.

0:03:050:03:08

OUt to rob anyone that they can.

0:03:080:03:11

They pick on people,

be it romantically, be it business,

0:03:110:03:15

financially, of whatever.

0:03:150:03:18

You will not see your money again.

0:03:180:03:22

Simon has lost his pension,

have a house that

0:03:220:03:24

he owned with a relative,

and other savings.

0:03:240:03:27

But I have the strength to say

to myself, I need to get out

0:03:270:03:31

of this.

0:03:310:03:32

I need to dust myself down,

stop wallowing in self-pity and

0:03:320:03:34

get on with it.

0:03:340:03:41

Illnesses like flu claimed thousands

of elderly people's lives

0:03:410:03:44

last winter in the East Midlands.

0:03:440:03:46

What are called "excess winter

deaths" reached the second-highest

0:03:460:03:50

level in eight years, according

to the very latest figures.

0:03:500:03:54

Our health correspondent

Rob Sissons is here.

0:03:540:03:55

So, how significant was the rise

in deaths last winter?

0:03:550:04:05

It was quite significant, because it

was higher than the highest figure

0:04:070:04:12

we have had, which is 2014, 15. That

was particularly bad. Taking a look

0:04:120:04:17

at the figures you can see here but

across England and Wales, more than

0:04:170:04:23

34,000 excess deaths as they call

them in the Meadows, it was over

0:04:230:04:27

3000. That is the number of deaths

over and above what you would expect

0:04:270:04:31

in a huge amount runs went up. When

set claiming more lives.

Can

0:04:310:04:36

anything be done about it?

The

experts tell us that what people

0:04:360:04:40

need to do is common sense. If you

feel unwell, go to the doctor. Go to

0:04:400:04:46

the pharmacy. When you go outside,

wrap up warm. Make sure that you

0:04:460:04:51

have plenty of layers on, that you

also have the blue jab. That is the

0:04:510:04:56

best protection, against these

problems that we keep hearing about.

0:04:560:05:02

I spoke to an expert from Public

Health England in the East Midlands.

0:05:020:05:06

She had some other tips for people.

0:05:060:05:10

Other advice would be

around keeping warm,

0:05:100:05:12

making sure that your house

is heated to at least 18 degrees.

0:05:120:05:15

Layering up when you

go outside as well.

0:05:150:05:16

Keeping an eye on elderly relatives,

visiting the pharmacist

0:05:160:05:19

if you feel unwell,

with cold or flu symptoms,

0:05:190:05:21

and perhaps ringing the GP's surgery

if you're feeling really unwell.

0:05:210:05:30

One thing these figures don't tell

us is what it will be like this

0:05:300:05:33

winter.

We do know that view is

particularly bad, has been bad in

0:05:330:05:40

Australia and New Zealand, so there

are predictions it will be a bad

0:05:400:05:43

winter for flu. We also know that

East Midlands has had the highest,

0:05:430:05:49

third-highest rate of excess winter

deaths last winter. People are

0:05:490:05:52

hoping that it will not be as bad

this time round.

Fingers crossed.

0:05:520:05:56

Brexit means Nottingham can no

longer compete in the competition

0:05:560:05:59

to become European Capital

of Culture in 2023.

0:05:590:06:03

That's according to

the European Commission,

0:06:030:06:05

which says the city,

and four other UK bids should be

0:06:050:06:08

immediately excluded.

0:06:080:06:11

Today's announcement has

sparked political fury.

0:06:110:06:12

But those behind Nottingham's bid

have pledged to keep the city's

0:06:120:06:15

cultural heritage alive,

inside or outside of Europe.

0:06:150:06:18

Carolyn Moses reports.

0:06:180:06:28

I colourful showcase any

purpose-built inflatable art

0:06:290:06:32

sculpture. This but August when

Nottingham unveiled its ambition to

0:06:320:06:36

take its place on the European

cultural stage. Showcasing art,

0:06:360:06:42

music, literature and sport. And

just last month, with the formal bid

0:06:420:06:48

put forward along with four other UK

cities, there was still high hopes

0:06:480:06:52

of success.

It gives us an

opportunity to show that we are a

0:06:520:06:57

great cultural European city. To

share a fantastic culture and arts

0:06:570:07:00

we have.

Those hopes have now been

shredded, days before the winning

0:07:000:07:05

city was due to be announced, the

European Commission has ruled the UK

0:07:050:07:10

and Nottingham but no longer be

eligible.

The important thing is

0:07:100:07:15

that it has been a very worthwhile

process. The bed and that we

0:07:150:07:19

submitted is very strong. Our

ambition is to carry that forward

0:07:190:07:25

regardless of this decision, so

there are many elements and the

0:07:250:07:28

theme of the bed, we want to take

forward. We are still very ambitious

0:07:280:07:32

for the cultural sector in

Nottingham.

It had covered the cost

0:07:320:07:37

around £150,000 to prepare this big.

Now there is pressure mounting on

0:07:370:07:42

the Prime Minister to act, took

ensure that by banning Nottingham

0:07:420:07:45

and the UK from entering this EU

competition that cultural ties are

0:07:450:07:51

not severed post Brexit. It is clear

tonight and they are under strain.

0:07:510:08:04

Still to come this evening:

could a flying car finally

0:08:040:08:07

be on the horizon?

0:08:070:08:12

It's been a dream for decades,

but now a prototype could be

0:08:120:08:15

about to get off the ground,

right here in the East Midlands.

0:08:150:08:25

Two men arrested yesterday,

in connection with raids

0:08:280:08:30

on cashpoints, have been released.

0:08:300:08:37

-- remain in custody.

0:08:370:08:43

It follows a police

investigation into dozens

0:08:430:08:45

of attacks, often using

diggers, on ATM machines

0:08:450:08:46

across the East Midlands.

0:08:460:08:47

The two women were arrested

in Lutterworth in Leicestershire.

0:08:470:08:50

Two men arrested in Warwickshire

are still in custody.

0:08:500:08:52

Severn Trent says it's making good

progress on reducing sewer

0:08:520:08:54

flooding and leakage.

0:08:540:08:55

Releasing its half-year figures,

the water company said it'd

0:08:550:08:57

reduced leakage by 4 million litres

a day and has halved

0:08:570:09:00

external sewer flooding.

0:09:000:09:01

More than £300 million has been

spent on improvements.

0:09:010:09:03

Experts at the University

of Nottingham have concluded that

0:09:030:09:05

cloning doesn't caused early ageing.

0:09:050:09:09

Last year the team published

Nottingham Dollies research

0:09:090:09:12

which showed that the eight-year-old

Nottingham 'Dollies'

0:09:120:09:14

had aged normally.

0:09:140:09:16

They have now published

a radiographic assessment

0:09:160:09:17

of the skeletons of Dolly,

her naturally conceived daughter,

0:09:170:09:21

and the first two sheep to be cloned

from differentiated cells.

0:09:210:09:25

A protest's taken place

this evening, over plans

0:09:250:09:27

to build some massive

new warehouses in Leicestershire.

0:09:270:09:30

A planning meeting's getting

underway as we speak,

0:09:300:09:33

to discuss the plans for Magna Park

near Lutterworth,

0:09:330:09:36

which would see the distribution

complex double in size.

0:09:360:09:41

Some people believe it's

big enough already.

0:09:410:09:43

Our reporter Giles Taylor

is at the meeting tonight.

0:09:430:09:52

Good evening. This incredible space

it hang a 42 of Ponting Ford

0:09:530:09:58

aerodrome, where the meeting got

underway have few minutes ago. There

0:09:580:10:02

is seating here for 400 people with

the council hiring this play

0:10:020:10:06

specifically because of the level of

interest. I had been finding out a

0:10:060:10:10

little bit more about what a local

resident concerns are.

0:10:100:10:13

Along the busy A5

in Leicestershire it

0:10:130:10:15

sits Magna Park.

0:10:150:10:20

Already one of the biggest sites of

0:10:200:10:21

its kind in Europe, it is home

to some big-name brands like Argos,

0:10:210:10:24

Asda and others.

0:10:250:10:26

It is ideally located

to access the M1 and in 69.

0:10:260:10:28

New plans have been

submitted for expansion.

0:10:280:10:30

Residents are unhappy.

0:10:300:10:33

It will be overbearing

on the villages.

0:10:330:10:36

It is going to bring

extra traffic at extra

0:10:360:10:38

pollution.

0:10:380:10:40

It is also going to bring

jobs that we don't need.

0:10:400:10:46

The proposals are into sections

of the northern side.

0:10:460:10:48

Builders say if approved,

it will bring thousands

0:10:480:10:50

more jobs to the area,

but for those living

0:10:500:10:53

in the nearby villages,

it is

0:10:530:10:54

a step too far.

0:10:540:10:58

Over 80% of people don't

live around here who

0:10:580:11:00

work at the Park, because the number

of people unemployed is so low.

0:11:000:11:05

We are going to be covered

and overrun with warehousing

0:11:050:11:08

and I reckon we are

going to have a surplus.

0:11:080:11:14

Campaigners have already lost

previous battles against expansion,

0:11:140:11:17

and were tonight's plans

recommended for approval,

0:11:170:11:20

they fear the result

may well be the same.

0:11:200:11:24

The District Council bowed

to the pressure of big

0:11:240:11:26

business, it will bring them

business rates, and so we are just

0:11:260:11:30

only the resident and we don't have

the money and the loud enough voices

0:11:300:11:34

to be heard over the developers.

0:11:340:11:44

Tonight's meeting will continue

until midnight. Both the council and

0:11:470:11:51

developers have told us they will

not be commenting until the

0:11:510:11:54

conclusion, and Brigadier latest

into an iPod like bulletin at

0:11:540:11:57

10:30pm.

0:11:570:12:00

Now, from time to time,

we have occasion to take

0:12:000:12:03

local councils to task.

0:12:030:12:04

But fair's fair, and tonight one

of our councils stands nominated

0:12:040:12:07

for a kind of local government

Oscar.

0:12:070:12:08

Yes, step forward Newark

and Sherwood District,

0:12:080:12:11

currently nominated for the title

'Council of the Year' by a leading

0:12:110:12:14

local government journal.

0:12:140:12:15

Why?

0:12:150:12:16

What's it's been doing?

0:12:160:12:17

Geeta Pendse's been

to Newark to find out.

0:12:170:12:22

A town steeped in

history and tradition.

0:12:220:12:25

But now Newark and the surrounding

areas are being praised

0:12:250:12:27

as places of growth and innovation.

0:12:270:12:31

Newark and Sherwood district council

has been nominated for the

0:12:310:12:33

Council of the year,

in a prestigious competition.

0:12:330:12:38

This is one of the reasons why.

0:12:380:12:43

The building of a new £7 million

council house in the town.

0:12:430:12:46

This is our hub area where members

of staff can come...

0:12:460:12:48

For 40 years, staff

were at Kelham Hall, but the

0:12:480:12:51

councils say the move

will save money.

0:12:510:12:55

A grade one listed building

obviously has maintenance costs,

0:12:550:12:58

which are substantially greater

than a modern building.

0:12:580:13:01

We have built in every

possible energy efficiency

0:13:010:13:03

into here, so both in the repairs

and maintenance costs, the running

0:13:030:13:07

costs of these buildings, we have

saved just over £500,000 a year.

0:13:070:13:15

As well as the Council

house, over the

0:13:150:13:17

last three years the local authority

has invested in a new leisure

0:13:170:13:20

centre, and extra care

facility and in this,

0:13:200:13:23

the National Civil War Centre.

0:13:240:13:27

The councils say it has attracted

visitors here, which is

0:13:270:13:29

good for local businesses.

0:13:290:13:32

But also the ticket sales mean

that the council has a revenue.

0:13:320:13:36

Already for the light switch on.

0:13:360:13:37

Are you open on Sunday?

0:13:370:13:39

And businesses seem to be

noticing a change, too.

0:13:390:13:42

There are less and less

shops that are empty,

0:13:420:13:44

which is good for any town.

0:13:440:13:46

And more and more new

businesses coming in,

0:13:460:13:48

young entrepreneurs as well,

and I think the combination of those

0:13:480:13:51

together is making

us a vibrant town.

0:13:510:13:55

There is certainly a vibrance

about the district, and about the

0:13:550:13:58

things that the council are doing

with the move to the new premises,

0:13:580:14:01

and an overall encouragement

for businesses to relocate.

0:14:010:14:06

The authority will

find out next year if

0:14:060:14:08

they have done enough to convince

the local government Chronicle award

0:14:080:14:11

judges to crown them

council of the year.

0:14:110:14:21

If you're fed up constantly

being stuck in traffic jams,

0:14:230:14:26

some blue-sky thinking

could be the solution.

0:14:260:14:30

If you've got a spare

£1.5 million, a Nottingham-based

0:14:300:14:33

company would like you to consider

one of its electric flying cars.

0:14:330:14:37

They could be in production

within the next few years.

0:14:370:14:40

Quentin Rayner reports.

0:14:400:14:47

The idea of a flying car is not as

far-fetched as you would think. Have

0:14:470:14:51

few years ago James May apply in the

Aero car, developed in America in

0:14:510:14:57

the 1940s. Petrol powered, its wings

folded back when used as a car and

0:14:570:15:01

it flew at 100 mph with a range of

300 miles.

Absolutely fabulous.

0:15:010:15:12

Almost 30 years later, are we about

to see the new version take-off as a

0:15:120:15:18

possible idea? Those behind it think

so. Come the Mac say their electric

0:15:180:15:22

flying car will be able to and land

vertically, of roots and driveways

0:15:220:15:27

and driveways and even water. Part

of the journey could be in the air

0:15:270:15:31

and the rest on the road. It would

initially be flown by a qualified

0:15:310:15:35

pilot but eventually it could self

fly. Here are some of the specs. It

0:15:350:15:40

will carry two people and have a

cruising speed of 200 mph. It could

0:15:400:15:46

live to one hour with a rate of 75

miles. It includes an emergency

0:15:460:15:51

parachute system. VRCO is developing

it with the University of Derby. £10

0:15:510:15:58

million of investment is ignored,

and it will have full size

0:15:580:16:03

operational model certified reply by

the end of 2020. Back in the 40s,

0:16:030:16:09

the Aero car never to cough because

of the cost and the need to have

0:16:090:16:13

eight separate licences and

certificates to operate it. Maybe

0:16:130:16:16

now is the time to land this big

idea.

0:16:160:16:27

It looks like a larger drone. Who

knows if it will happen? Now it is

0:16:270:16:34

time for the sport.

0:16:340:16:35

We start with rugby

because the England,

0:16:350:16:38

Lions and Leicester Tigers forward,

Tom Croft, says he broke down

0:16:380:16:40

when he was told he would have

to retire from the sport he loves.

0:16:400:16:44

A neck injury has forced Croft

to hang up his boots for good

0:16:440:16:47

after a 26-year career,

and in an honest and emotional

0:16:470:16:49

interview, he told Colin Hazelden

retiring feels brutal.

0:16:490:16:57

He was a back row forward,

but you could never keep in there.

0:16:570:17:03

This is where Tom Croft thrived.

0:17:030:17:05

Tearing away and tearing

through tackles on the wing.

0:17:050:17:07

Freaky tackling.

0:17:070:17:08

Some of the tries

that he scored, we have

0:17:080:17:10

missed that the last

couple of years.

0:17:100:17:12

He is such a fantastic athlete.

0:17:120:17:13

But now the days of pulling

on a rugby shirt are over.

0:17:130:17:16

A back specialist

called time, and that

0:17:160:17:18

hurt more than any injury.

0:17:180:17:24

You speak to some

ex-players, and said, it is

0:17:240:17:26

like a bereavement,

it is like you have lost something.

0:17:260:17:29

I have done for it 16 years,

from the Academy, and now

0:17:290:17:31

I won't be doing it any more.

0:17:310:17:34

There are memories the galore.

0:17:340:17:36

Time to capitalise'

tools, the pinnacle of

0:17:360:17:39

any player's career.

0:17:390:17:41

And tries like this bit

of glory for England in the

0:17:410:17:43

Six Nations, a forward

dancing through a defence.

0:17:430:17:45

COMMENTATOR:

Absolutely brilliant!

0:17:450:17:47

Croft says he treasured every first,

but really

0:17:470:17:50

loved winning trophies for Tigers.

0:17:500:17:53

Being there in the final gives that

little bit more of an inflated

0:17:530:17:57

chest, but every involvement

in every success with the club or

0:17:570:18:01

country or with Lions has been

a huge landmark in my career.

0:18:010:18:06

Another big thing that

I found hard was when my

0:18:060:18:09

little boy, who is starting to

interact and know more about what I

0:18:090:18:13

do, he won't now get that chance

and see me in a game any more.

0:18:130:18:18

But obviously you Tube

is a wonderful thing.

0:18:180:18:20

I'm sure I will bore him to hell

with what daddy used to do.

0:18:200:18:27

Most of us would love

to have Tom Croft's legacy,

0:18:270:18:29

as the hashtag said,

thank you, Crofty.

0:18:290:18:34

Yes, thanks, Crofty -

what a servant to the game,

0:18:340:18:36

on and off the pitch.

0:18:360:18:38

More from him on our BBC

Leicester Sport Facebook page.

0:18:380:18:42

Now, it s a big night

for basketball fans tomorrow.

0:18:420:18:45

Team GB are taking on Greece

for a place in the qualifiers

0:18:450:18:48

for the Basketball World Cup

right here in Leicester.

0:18:480:18:53

It's the first time a game of this

size has been staged

0:18:530:18:56

at the Arena, and more than 2,000

fans are expected to be there.

0:18:560:19:00

It is a massive coup for the city,

as the very best players

0:19:000:19:03

will be out on court,

all bidding for a place

0:19:030:19:05

in the 2019 finals in China.

0:19:050:19:07

Little wonder people

are getting excited.

0:19:070:19:15

It is awesome. I am excited to

welcome such a talented group in

0:19:150:19:18

hell. We have been watching a lot of

their practices. It is good to be a

0:19:180:19:23

great atmosphere on Friday. Great

for the Leicester arena, and the

0:19:230:19:27

Leicester Riders. To be hosting such

a great event with two big teams.

0:19:270:19:30

And finally from me tonight,

the winner of our BBC

0:19:300:19:32

East Midlands Unsung Hero award.

0:19:320:19:33

This year, there

were three finalists.

0:19:330:19:35

Roy Stowell who has served

Charnwood Athletics club for 42

0:19:350:19:38

years, and the amazing Ishmail Saleh

from Leicester who has built

0:19:380:19:43

a martial arts club.

0:19:430:19:48

But it is mum-of-two and fitness

fanatic Denise Larrad

0:19:480:19:51

who is our winner,

and earlier I went to see her.

0:19:510:20:00

Here I am, this morning at this

community centre in Hinckley with

0:20:000:20:05

the trophy. Inside there is a long

winner, Denise Larrad.

Let's remind

0:20:050:20:09

ourselves why she is so incredible.

In 2012, Denise Larrad was nominated

0:20:090:20:17

to run with the Olympic torch, after

running over 200 have marathons

0:20:170:20:21

herself to raise money for charity.

She then decided to devote herself

0:20:210:20:26

to getting others fit. She leads

walking and running groups,

0:20:260:20:32

befriending or -- orienteering and

fitness classes for the elderly, to

0:20:320:20:38

prevent falls. Some in her groups

have dementia, Parkinson's and

0:20:380:20:44

epilepsy and abominable. She works

night so she can spend her days

0:20:440:20:48

getting others fit. All generations.

She does at around the clock and

0:20:480:20:52

last year she walked or ran nine

miles a day, helping others to get

0:20:520:20:58

active. She says, you're never too

old to get fit and empowers so many

0:20:580:21:04

people in her local community. We

are about to surprise her. We are

0:21:040:21:08

heading in a little room here, got

the trophy. I am excited. Let's go.

0:21:080:21:23

Trainees thinks she is here for a

photocall, but Denise...

0:21:300:21:35

Congratulations, I am here to

announce you are our BBC unsung hero

0:21:350:21:39

of the year for the Midlands. Here

is the trophy.

0:21:390:21:41

APPLAUSE

Congratulations. How do you feel?

0:21:410:21:49

Really surprised. I thought the

other entrants were amazing. You

0:21:490:21:54

think to yourself, what you do is

not, what other people do is

0:21:540:21:58

amazing. I just want to get people

moving. It is so important so

0:21:580:22:03

important to move...

You are going

to have us all in tears.

0:22:030:22:08

LAUGHTER

Green Graham nominated you. Tell us

0:22:080:22:14

why Denise is a worthy winner.

She

changes people's lives. It is

0:22:140:22:19

absolutely amazing. You see here

just if you have the people whose

0:22:190:22:23

lives she has passed. She gets them

healthier, people do things they

0:22:230:22:27

never thought they could normally

do. They start of not being able to

0:22:270:22:32

run 100 yards. Within a few years,

she has them running marathons. That

0:22:320:22:37

is life changing. For their health

and well-being, it is incredible.

0:22:370:22:42

Denise well now go into the national

final and two BBC's sport

0:22:420:22:49

personality on December 17.

I am so

excited.

0:22:490:22:51

LAUGHTER

She is the BBC East Midlands unsung

0:22:510:22:57

hero. Congratulations, Denise.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:22:570:23:06

Fantastic and emotional. That was so

lovely.

0:23:060:23:10

Now, the story of a dramatic,

real-life World War Two prison

0:23:100:23:13

escape which was immortalised

in a major film,

0:23:130:23:15

set in the Derbyshire

village of Swanwick.

0:23:150:23:18

This week marks 60

years since the release

0:23:180:23:20

of The One That Got Away,

which tells the story

0:23:200:23:23

of Flying Officer Franz Von Werra's

escape from a POW camp

0:23:230:23:27

in the village.

0:23:270:23:29

Our reporter Navtej Johal has been

to Swanwick to meet three

0:23:290:23:32

people whose families were affected

by the presence of the camp.

0:23:320:23:41

A cocky World War II prisoner, a

dramatic escape, and a chase across

0:23:420:23:48

continents. No wonder this man's

Hollywood where the tail was

0:23:480:23:53

immortalised in film. The One That

Got Away was released in cinemas 60

0:23:530:23:58

years ago this week and it is here

in lb where the Flying Officer along

0:23:580:24:04

with four other prisoners made their

escape to this tunnel in 1940 from

0:24:040:24:09

the conference centre which then

doubled as a prison. But Jaime would

0:24:090:24:13

have been the site of the prisoner

of war camp. The assistant manager

0:24:130:24:17

knows more about this place than

most. His uncle was also a prisoner

0:24:170:24:23

here towards the end of the war.

He

just said to be one day, I was

0:24:230:24:29

prisoner there and I was looked

after. I offered to show him around,

0:24:290:24:35

he would never come, and he would

never speak about it. I have got

0:24:350:24:39

used to it. I am proud to say it

now, and I say it often, Mallorca

0:24:390:24:44

was a prisoner here.

John's fellow

villagers know how the prisoners

0:24:440:24:48

were looked after. Surely's father

would test the prisoners' dies.

0:24:480:24:56

Helen's would mend their shoes. But

the horrors of the war prevented

0:24:560:24:59

them from speaking about it openly.

I don't ever remember them

0:24:590:25:05

mentioning it at all. I think they

looked at them as people who were

0:25:050:25:10

there, prisoners of war, but they

never would think that they would

0:25:100:25:15

when everything.

I am very proud of

him. I find it quite touching,

0:25:150:25:24

thinking about it. It he was a

Christian and a preacher. He was

0:25:240:25:32

practising what he preached. That

was my dad. Ayes he made it from

0:25:320:25:38

Khan and was captured and sent to

Canada from where he escaped again.

0:25:380:25:43

Eventually made it to Bellingham.

His story may have been seen across

0:25:430:25:47

the world, but many of the lives he

passed are still here in this

0:25:470:25:50

village.

0:25:500:25:54

-- lives he touched. More things

now, here's the weather.

0:25:540:26:01

-- lives he touched. More things

now, here's the weather.

0:26:010:26:03

Quite cold as we head towards the

weekend. Very briefly, to likeI

0:26:030:26:09

watch photo. We did have a stunning

sunset across much of the East

0:26:090:26:13

Midlands. Keep your pictures coming

in. Mostly dry, plenty of late

0:26:130:26:18

autumn sunshine, but it is set to be

cold. Already feeling cold out

0:26:180:26:25

there, should stay dry almost about

to the night, clear skies, a rate of

0:26:250:26:30

one and two eyes -- icy showers.

Low-temperature is three Celsius.

0:26:300:26:35

That is in towns and cities. Neural

sheltered spots close to freezing. A

0:26:350:26:40

touch of Frost here and there. A

chilly start to Friday, and it

0:26:400:26:47

remains fairly cold throughout. Lots

of autumn sunshine, temperatures at

0:26:470:26:51

best reaching a high of six Celsius.

We do have a light wind, and with

0:26:510:26:57

that sunshine it will feel pleasant

out and about. The rest of one or

0:26:570:27:01

two showers pushing in here from the

Cheshire cat, particularly in the

0:27:010:27:04

evening. These are set to continue

Friday, and meant to be very cold

0:27:040:27:09

into Saturday. They could fall as

wintry or even a bit of snow of snow

0:27:090:27:13

have higher ground. Saturday, Italy

cold, lots of sunshine yet again.

0:27:130:27:19

Kempton is hovering around five

Celsius. The risk of it wintry

0:27:190:27:23

showers. Cold on Sunday, before some

wet and windy weather arrives on

0:27:230:27:30

Monday. It is certainly time to wrap

up warm.

0:27:300:27:37

Eight fleece and staff man. I am

going to be a hat person. Enough

0:27:370:27:42

already. There is an image. Good

night.
