And now the news for the East Midlands. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
A man who admitted attacking his wife, | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
but was spared jail, is behind bars tonight. | :00:20. | :00:20. | |
Mustafa Bashir was given a suspended sentence - | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
after a judge was told he'd been offered a professional contract by | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
But the contract never existed and today that same | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
Mustafa Bashir arrived at court today knowing he had some explaining | :00:29. | :00:40. | |
Last month, he narrowly avoided jail when he admitted | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
attacking his former wife with a cricket bat | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
The judge suspended an 18 month prison sentence partly because | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
he had been told Bashir was about to sign a contract with | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
The club then revealed they had never heard of Bashir, | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
And so, today, the 33-year-old was ordered back before | :01:01. | :01:11. | |
Today, Bashir was represented in court by a new barrister who said | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
his client hadn't intended to mislead anyone and there had been | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
Well, Judge Richard Mansell was having | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
He said there had been no series of misunderstandings and | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
said, I was fundamentally misled by you as to your personal | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
He said he had no hesitation in now imposing an | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
immediate prison term, something which he said he would have done | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
originally, had he been aware of the true position. | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
In a statement, Leicestershire said... | :01:40. | :01:50. | |
Meanwhile, Judge Mansell addressed criticisms | :01:51. | :01:51. | |
made of him over his original sentencing remarks. | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
particularly vulnerable, due to her circumstances. | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
Today, he said he wanted to make it clear, he had | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
always considered her to be vulnerable, but sentencing | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
guidelines set out clearly different levels of vulnerability, which | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
judges have to take into consideration when sentencing. | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
Through the police, Bashir's victim said she was satisfied with | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Bashir, meantime, may now be investigated for the separate | :02:08. | :02:20. | |
offence of perverting the course of justice. | :02:21. | :02:21. | |
David Guest, BBC East Midlands Today, Manchester. | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
Staff at a benefits office in Nottinghamshire have staged | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
a protest against its planned closure. | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
The Department for Work and Pensions says the building | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
in Annesley is no longer needed, putting around 130 jobs at risk. | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
A consultation on the propals ends at midnight | :02:37. | :02:37. | |
and unions say they'll fight to keep the office open. | :02:38. | :02:46. | |
Well, it's likely that we will have to talk to members about industrial | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
Ultimately, it will be members to make that decision, but | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
we, of course, cannot rule out taking strike action to support this | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
office being kept open and to support this community. | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
11 people have been jailed for a combined total of over 42 | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
years for their part in an insurance scam where they deliberately | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
caused dozens of car crashes across Derbyshire. | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
The gang, mostly from the East Midlands, | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
targeted older or lone female drivers and made claims | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
using false identities and through fraudulent companies. | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
The judge said the victims have been harmed emotionally and physically. | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
It was a load of blood, sweat and tears over | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
the three and a half years of the investigation. | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
It was like trying to boot a jigsaw together and identify all | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
the different angles and aspects of the fraud. | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
The sentence provided today by the court will hopefully | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
send out a message that this type of offence will be taken seriously, | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
investigated thoroughly and will not be tolerated. | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
A group of shopkeepers in a conservation area of Leicester | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
are demanding restrictions are eased so they can better protect | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
their properties.Five businesses were either vandalised or burgled | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
It's the fourth time in two years shops have been targetted. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
The City Council says it will meet owners to discuss their concerns. | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
Together with the other shop owners in this | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
area, we want to protect our property, we want the council, we | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
want the city centre director to listen to us | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
and allow us to protect our property with shutters. | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
Never mind the issue we've got with preservation, what about my | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
Organisers of Leicestershire's Download Festival are spending half | :04:14. | :04:26. | |
a million pounds improving the site after weather and travel | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
Tens of thousands of rock fans were left drenched | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
They also struggled to leave Donington Park | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
Torrential downpours making Download in 2016 the wettest on record. | :04:35. | :04:44. | |
Festivalgoers were forced to trudge through inches of mud and | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
torrents of water surrounding their tents. | :04:47. | :04:57. | |
More than four inches of rain fell across the 650 acre Donington | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
Park site last year in just 45 minutes. | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
And that's enough to fill more than 100 Olympic sized swimming | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Now, organisers here want to make sure they are ready if the | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
heavy rain again threatens to swamp the heavy metal. | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
They are using this heavy metal to build 3,000 metres of | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
new drains, quadruple what's already here, | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
to help with if what they call Biblical rain comes again. | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
We had 17 million gallons of rain come down in that 45 minutes. | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
That would be a challenge to anybody that wasn't expecting it and we | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
So, we've really put the new drains in and | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
the ditches to drain it all away and tried to respond | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
And another major problem last year, the closure of the nearby M1 | :05:30. | :05:44. | |
after an unconnected motorway protest, just as thousands tried to | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
Now, there will be four more entrances and exits and | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
hundreds of helpers to react to road and site conditions. | :05:51. | :05:59. | |
The Download family as part of an incredible | :06:00. | :06:00. | |
community and the festivalgoers have told us to do that and we have | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
So, a new look Park to welcome this year's headliners a | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
rule Smith and the tens of thousands of fans, | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
rain comes down, Download will still be on the up. | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
More news from me and the team here across the weekend, | :06:15. | :06:28. | |
but let's check on that all important forecast | :06:29. | :06:29. | |
Well, what a weekend we've got on the | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
Dry, fine, lengthy spells of sunshine. | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
Now, it's going to feel warm tomorrow, but it's going to | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
And that's all thanks to high pressure dominating our weather. | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
And it's going to stay settled as we head overnight | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
It could lead to a little bit of patchy | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
And quite chilly, temperatures down to about four to seven | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
In more rural spots, it'll be a little bit cooler than that. | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
Then the breeze starts to come in from the south. | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
A gentle breeze, but it does mean that | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
those temperatures will continue to rise. | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
Highs tomorrow of about 18 degrees, which is 64 Fahrenheit. | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
That's going to lead us to a perfect end to the day. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Definitely one for spending outdoors. | :07:17. | :07:17. | |
Then another fine day on Sunday, too. | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
Again, a little bit chilly to start, but as we head | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
through the day, highs of 20 degrees a lovely day. | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
That's all from us here on the late team. | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
I'm going to leave you with the summary, the | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
Monday, and north-westerly wind will drag in more cloud and temperatures | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
will be down by 8-9 . Hello, my advice would be to make | :07:34. | :07:43. | |
the most of the weather this weekend, if you can. Because there | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
will be a good day love sunshine on offer and it will continue to warm | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
up as well. This picture was taken in Cumbria, at Workington, later in | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
