:00:08. > :00:13.And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Anne Davies.
:00:14. > :00:17.First tonight, bribery and conspiracy to corrupt carried
:00:18. > :00:19.out over 24 years by one of this region's flagship
:00:20. > :00:25.For four years, the Derby aero-engine maker's been the subject
:00:26. > :00:29.of the biggest investigation in the history of the Serious Fraud Office
:00:30. > :00:33.and will now have to pay a record amount to settle the case.
:00:34. > :00:39.Grey skies over Rolls-Royce in Derby today, but the cloud of a corruption
:00:40. > :00:44.and bribery prosecution hanging over the firm has now lifted.
:00:45. > :00:55.The aerospace firm is set to pay ?479 million plus costs
:00:56. > :00:57.to the Serious Fraud Office which started investigating claims
:00:58. > :01:07.Rolls-Royce will also pay ?141 million to the US
:01:08. > :01:13.Justice Department and 21.5 million to Brazilian regulators.
:01:14. > :01:17.This type of settlement is known as a deferred prosecution agreement.
:01:18. > :01:20.They allow organisations to pay huge penalties,
:01:21. > :01:23.but avoid prosecution, if they freely admit to economic
:01:24. > :01:31.But the scale of this settlement is unprecedented.
:01:32. > :01:35.In the Serious Fraud Office's 28 year history, this is the largest
:01:36. > :01:40.The court heard that the case against Rolls-Royce involves bribery
:01:41. > :01:45.of senior foreign officials and senior staff, stretching
:01:46. > :01:51.across the globe and its businesses from 1989 to 2013.
:01:52. > :01:54.Lawyers said the conduct was carefully planned and led
:01:55. > :01:59.to large contracts earning as much as a quarter of a billion pounds.
:02:00. > :02:04.Countries including India, Russia, Nigeria and China were named
:02:05. > :02:07.as places where there was either conspiracy to corrupt
:02:08. > :02:12.Rolls-Royce told us nobody was available for an interview
:02:13. > :02:16.today, but instead released this video which the firm
:02:17. > :02:21.The behaviour uncovered in the course of the investigations
:02:22. > :02:25.by the Serious Fraud Office and other authorities is completely
:02:26. > :02:29.unacceptable and we apologise unreservedly for it.
:02:30. > :02:33.But the Serious Fraud Office says this may not be the end of legal
:02:34. > :02:39.The deferred prosecution agreement announced today deals
:02:40. > :02:43.Human defendants are quite different matter.
:02:44. > :02:48.We focus our attention on them is our priority, and,
:02:49. > :02:51.in due course, decide which, if any of them should be charged,
:02:52. > :02:56.Well, earlier, I spoke to Robert Barrington,
:02:57. > :03:00.executive director of Transparency International UK,
:03:01. > :03:03.who welcomed the fine imposed on Rolls-Royce,
:03:04. > :03:06.but said it was essential that individual prosecutions
:03:07. > :03:11.Well, on the one hand, it's an eye-catching fine,
:03:12. > :03:13.a breakthrough moment for the Serious Fraud Office to be
:03:14. > :03:16.making finds in the hundreds of millions of pounds.
:03:17. > :03:22.But, in the end, bribes paid by people and individuals need
:03:23. > :03:27.If there are announcements of prosecutions, we will feel
:03:28. > :03:31.If it simply you pay the fine and then everything's done,
:03:32. > :03:35.Do you think it's likely there will be announcements
:03:36. > :03:40.The Serious Fraud Office said in court today that Rolls-Royce had
:03:41. > :03:44.cooperated quite markedly in the course of the investigation,
:03:45. > :03:47.and that means it's likely that information will have been given
:03:48. > :03:53.And informally I understand prosecutions of individuals may well
:03:54. > :03:58.But they've really got to be held to account.
:03:59. > :04:02.What sort of message does this send out to other large companies?
:04:03. > :04:05.If there are prosecutions of individuals as well as the fine,
:04:06. > :04:09.it sends out the message if you pay bribes you do so at your peril.
:04:10. > :04:12.And you might end up in jail personally if either you've paid
:04:13. > :04:16.a bribe or you're the person who signed off on paying the bribe.
:04:17. > :04:19.On the other hand, if it's just a big fine, it sends out the message
:04:20. > :04:23.Briefly, do you think this is an effective
:04:24. > :04:29.The deterrent has to have two aspects.
:04:30. > :04:32.It has to have both a financial aspect and an individual
:04:33. > :04:37.If it's a large amount of money, that's part of the deterrent.
:04:38. > :04:39.The other part has to be individuals being held to account,
:04:40. > :04:43.Thanks very much indeed for speaking to us.
:04:44. > :04:48.Next, we find out how the Prime Minister's big Brexit
:04:49. > :04:51.speech has gone down in the East Midlands.
:04:52. > :04:54.We've been to the constituency of one of those rebellious Tory MPs
:04:55. > :04:57.who have openly disagreed with their leader on Brexit ever
:04:58. > :05:04.From Loughborough, here's our political editor Tony Roe.
:05:05. > :05:07.While the Prime Minister made her speech to the diplomats in London,
:05:08. > :05:09.we watched in a cafe near Loughborough Town Hall.
:05:10. > :05:14.'We are leaving the European Union, but we are not leaving Europe.'
:05:15. > :05:17.This is the seat of the former Education Secretary Nicky Morgan.
:05:18. > :05:21.She wants us to stay in the single market and said it would be
:05:22. > :05:26.She is, though, encouraged by the Prime Minister's speech.
:05:27. > :05:29.And there's clearly been a huge amount of work
:05:30. > :05:32.going on across Government to think about what that future
:05:33. > :05:34.There's clearly more details, lots more negotiations,
:05:35. > :05:38.but I thought the tone of the speech and the awareness of the magnitude
:05:39. > :05:43.of the important new relationship was very welcome.
:05:44. > :05:46.We know that Nicky Morgan puts great importance on what people
:05:47. > :05:51.Well, there is no market today, but plenty of people around
:05:52. > :05:55.I think any strong Prime Minister should have said,
:05:56. > :06:03.They say we've got to do this, we've got to do that.
:06:04. > :06:06.We should be in charge of our own money, we should be
:06:07. > :06:13.I just don't think we should be tied to the EU and all their rules.
:06:14. > :06:16.Anna Soubry is in the same camp as Nick Morgan.
:06:17. > :06:20.For her, the PM's speech did not indicate a hard Brexit.
:06:21. > :06:23.Andrew Bridgen campaigned harder than most Tory MPs for Brexit.
:06:24. > :06:31.We're going to be out of the single market.
:06:32. > :06:34.Her critics for too long have been saying that she has not been
:06:35. > :06:36.specific about what our aims of negotiations are,
:06:37. > :06:37.our new relationship with the European Union,
:06:38. > :06:41.The Prime Minister has been very clear.
:06:42. > :06:43.She spelt it out rather more clearly.
:06:44. > :06:50.It was more accepting that this has got to be
:06:51. > :06:53.in everybody's interests, the way we leave.
:06:54. > :06:55.And, tonight, the Labour leader in the European Parliament,
:06:56. > :06:57.the East Midlands' Glenis Willmott, accused the Prime Minister of giving
:06:58. > :07:07.up on the single market before negotiations have even begun.
:07:08. > :07:09.Next tonight, the profoundly moving accounts from three parents
:07:10. > :07:12.They've come together with a powerful message -
:07:13. > :07:18.Today, the three parents were given knives which Nottinghamshire police
:07:19. > :07:22.The parents in turn presented the knives to an artist,
:07:23. > :07:26.who's creating a huge monument to victims of knife crime.
:07:27. > :07:32.The chap pulled out a kitchen knife and stabbed him eight times.
:07:33. > :07:38.In the heart, in the face, straight through the heart.
:07:39. > :07:41.He took out a ten inch knife and plunged it in his neck.
:07:42. > :07:56.They couldn't stop their sons being murdered.
:07:57. > :08:00.Their mission now to spare other parents their pain.
:08:01. > :08:03.Having to deal with the fact that your child is no longer
:08:04. > :08:06.with you and taken away in such a horrible way.
:08:07. > :08:13.It's been a hard five years and it's not getting any easier.
:08:14. > :08:28.A danger highlighted by this, created out of 100,000 knives
:08:29. > :08:32.gathered from police force knife amnesties across the country.
:08:33. > :08:38.Today, they handed its creator three knives.
:08:39. > :08:41.It's hoped, when finished, this will occupy the fourth plinth
:08:42. > :08:50.If we can raise awareness and just stop one person from going outside
:08:51. > :08:54.with a knife and taking another person's life.
:08:55. > :09:01.It's a work of art and it's lives, it's souls.
:09:02. > :09:05.My son will never, ever be forgotten cos it's there.
:09:06. > :09:10.When I'm dead and gone, it will still be there for people to see.
:09:11. > :09:13.An exhibition's opened in South Derbyshire to celebrate
:09:14. > :09:15.a man who was, in his day, one of the most famous
:09:16. > :09:19.Former British heavyweight champion Jack Bodell is said to have
:09:20. > :09:22.put his home town of Swadlincote on the world map.
:09:23. > :09:26.He hung up his gloves in the '70s to run a chip shop,
:09:27. > :09:35.The exhibition's being held in Sharpe's Pottery Museum
:09:36. > :09:43.So, it's goodbye from me, but with your weather now, here's Kaye.
:09:44. > :09:47.Well, it's been quite a cloudy old day-to-day for many of us
:09:48. > :09:53.A lot of cloud, a little bit damp for some as well,
:09:54. > :09:58.and that's going to be how it stays as we head through tomorrow as well.
:09:59. > :10:02.So, a lot of cloud, settled light winds asked the risk of some spots
:10:03. > :10:06.And that is how it is set today in the evening
:10:07. > :10:12.Over on the hills, we've got some mist and fog as well.
:10:13. > :10:14.Because of all that cloud, temperatures really won't drop off
:10:15. > :10:16.much lower than about three or 4 degrees.
:10:17. > :10:24.A couple of bits and pieces of light rain and drizzle,
:10:25. > :10:29.The winds will remain fairly light once again.
:10:30. > :10:32.And those temperatures will get back up about seven,
:10:33. > :10:40.I hate to say it but it's a repeat the process performance
:10:41. > :10:44.A lot of cloud, light winds, most of us dry,
:10:45. > :10:46.and those temperatures back to about 8 degrees.
:10:47. > :10:49.With high pressure in charge of our weather, those conditions
:10:50. > :10:51.will stay very similar towards the end of the week.
:10:52. > :10:53.That's it from us here on the late team.
:10:54. > :10:55.I'm going to leave you with the summary,
:10:56. > :11:00.and then your national forecast will follow.
:11:01. > :11:05.from time to time. Staying settled still. Nick has the national
:11:06. > :11:10.forecast this evening. Hello. If you are watching the
:11:11. > :11:14.football earlier it turned out to be an evening for football fans in
:11:15. > :11:18.Lincolnshire. This is how it looked at the start of the day. No idea
:11:19. > :11:23.whether this weather watcher is a football fan, it's a fan of weather
:11:24. > :11:26.that matters here. All sorts of weather, from 13 in Aberdeenshire to
:11:27. > :11:29.two, despite the sunshine in Kent. I wonder if this six in the cloud
:11:30. > :11:34.across the Midlands into northern England and parts of Wales felt
:11:35. > :11:38.colder, particularly in these misty and foggy conditions in this weather
:11:39. > :11:41.watcher view. Some drizzly rain around at times still from the
:11:42. > :11:47.thicker cloud into parts of England and Wales overnight, hill fog too.
:11:48. > :11:48.Cloud for Scotland and Northern Ireland, although a few breaks in
