And now, the news for the East Midlands. | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
We'll be live in Madrid later as Leicester's Champions League | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
But first, two teenage boys have been sent to juvenile prison | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
after a roof-top stand-off in Nottingham last week. | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
the youths began to throw bricks and tiles at the police. | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
Residents had to leave their homes to ensure their safety. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
This was the scene that greeted riot police when they arrived in | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
Cloister Street in Nottingham last Wednesday morning. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Bricks and tiles were being thrown from a nearby rooftop. | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
Cars were smashed with windscreens broken | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
Some residents were evacuated, others unable to leave | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
It was frustrating and clearly, it does | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
have a wider impact across the city. | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
Because whilst resources are deployed at that particular | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
incident, it means they're not deployed elsewhere. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
As I say, our objective at the time was to keep | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
people safe and the resources that were deployed there were done so | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
Today, the two 16-year-olds, who can't be named | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
because of their age, were sentenced | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
to a total of 45 months in prison after pleading guilty to affray | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
One of the youths also pleaded guilty to | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
handling stolen goods, and the other pleaded | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Back in Cloister Street, and some of the damage | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
Residents said the incident was frightening. | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
They were throwing chimney pots and stuff off | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
One of them hit a car, hit the windscreen, destroyed that. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
When the bricks started flying, and the slates, | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
I thought, what on earth is going on? | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
I've lived here all my life and I have | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
The police told us to move our car and van. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
And then we had to move that, and within about three | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
or four minutes of that, we start having roof tiles, | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
we had roof tiles bouncing off the streets. | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
The youths will have to serve half their sentence before they | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
But police are keen to stress that incidents | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
A Derbyshire-based company has become one of the first | :02:12. | :02:20. | |
in the country to allow a member of staff on its board. | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
The Shirebrook firm Sports Direct made the move in the wake of strong | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
criticism from unions and MPs over its treatment of staff. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Here's our political editor Tony Roe. | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
In the Derbyshire HQ at Shirebrook, news of his appointment was | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
30-year-old Alex Balacki normally runs a store in Devon. | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
He started out doing a Saturday job about 13 years ago. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Now, he will be on the board and have the ear of Mike Ashley. | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
It is something that Mike has wanted to do | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
And we are doing it, unveiling him, today. | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
This has always really positive for me, being rewarded for | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
what I do, and I'm proud of what I do. | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
And what can you do over the next year? | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
I just hope to make some differences, but I don't know, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
I'm going to be taking all the opinions of the | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
staff and bringing that to the board meetings. | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
Sports Direct were subjected to an expose about working | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
conditions, particularly at its distribution centre. | :03:25. | :03:25. | |
A Parliamentary investigation led MPs to conclude it | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
Things have changed since then, money paid back, | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
no "six strikes and you're out of a job" for | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
Now, a place for a worker representing 23,000 staff | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
Do you think you will be listened to? | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
And I know the board of directors will, | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
And they are all excited about Alex joining. | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
Clearly, Sports Direct wants to improve its public image and | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
believes that having a worker on the board of directors will go | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
But the unions have dismissed this plan | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
What they want is union representation, | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
in the warehouse and in the shops. | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Unite, the union, says Sports Direct should be | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
moving agency staff onto a permanent contract. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
The company says talks about talks with unions | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
It's all change on our high streets, | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
The finance firm PWC says traditional shops, | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
especially fashion retailers, are closing but other | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
Geeta Pendse has been finding out more. | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
Obviously, they come in three mg and six mg. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
The fastest-growing retail sector in the East Midlands, the | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
popularity of vaping has seen a rise in tobacconists | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
estate agents, health clubs and | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
That is according to research by PWC. | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
It is a different picture for fashions shops, with department | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
stores and women's clothing hardest-hit. | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
In 2016, 353 shops close across the East Midlands. | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
That is the equivalent of almost one every day. | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
That compares with 289 opening, which is a net reduction | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
The overall trend is still that stores are closing, and that is | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
as consumers continue to move online to shop on the Internet. | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
But actually, the East Midlands is doing better | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
And I think that reflects the strength of | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
They are making it so easy, though, aren't they? | :05:39. | :05:48. | |
Because you don't really need to leave your home. | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
A lot of big stores have been replaced | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
by large fitness centres and new gyms. | :05:58. | :05:58. | |
They seem to be taking the weight of more leisure | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
activities rather than sort of retail and shopping. | :06:02. | :06:02. | |
When it comes our cities, Leicester continues to | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
Derby, however, has seen the highest number | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
We've got a really strong, independent retail sector in Derby. | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
The Cathedral Quarter won the best British high street | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
The Intu centre is doing incredibly well. | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
The research shows a buoyant economy in the East Midlands, | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
but there is no doubt the growth of online shopping and | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
changing consumer trends is radically changing the way we use | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
Scientists studying lung conditions have taken part in developing | :06:36. | :06:46. | |
a phone app for asthma sufferers, to help them manage their condition. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
A team from the Nottingham Respiratory Research Unit, | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
based at the University of Nottingham, worked | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
with a leading pharmaceutical company to create the app. | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
Called MyAsthma, it allows people to record | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
information about what seems to trigger their problems. | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
Carers can also use it to log up to five | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
Developing something that helps people understand their asthma | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
triggers, improve their knowledge of their asthma and allows them to | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
provide information for their asthma nurse or their GP is a real step | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
forward to improve asthma control in these people. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
where Leicester City's progress in the Champions League | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
is left on a knife-edge after a 1-0 defeat. | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
Natalie Jackson is at the Stadium Visente Calderon. | :07:35. | :07:45. | |
far from downhearted, proud of their far from downhearted, proud of their | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
team who battled hard to stay in this tie. After all, the other team | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
had been in this competition twice in the last three years and | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
Leicester City were only undone by a controversial penalty. | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
The players and the replays suggested otherwise. | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
After being under pressure for most of the first half-hour, it was a | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
Leicester were defending well, and as the game | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
went on, even created their own chances, however slim. | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
But mostly, it was about stopping the Spanish | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
team and staying in the tie whatever it took. | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
At the final whistle, a defensive job, | :08:31. | :08:31. | |
The police say Leicester fans were involved in acts of vandalism. | :08:32. | :08:41. | |
Supporters say the police badly overreacted. | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
The trip to Madrid has been a harsh one. | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
In the press conference, the manager has just said that, we were | :08:47. | :09:07. | |
definitely hard done by when the penalty was given. With that sense | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
of injustice and a noisy home crowd, back at the stadium in six days' | :09:12. | :09:20. | |
time, the European dream could still be alive. | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Last-minute preparations are being made at Leicester Cathedral ahead | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
A team of florists have decorated the building with hundreds | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
of flowers and security checks are being made. | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
The Queen will take part in the Maundy service, | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
traditionally celebrated on the Thursday before Easter. | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
Her Majesty will give 91 local men and women Maundy money. | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
Thousands of people are expected in the city and organisers | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
are warning that some roads will be closed. | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
So, it's goodbye from me - but with your weather now, | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
We have if feud is a typical spring weather ahead. Some rain, some | :09:47. | :10:01. | |
showers, but also some sunnier spells. Thank you to our weather | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
watchers for sending in those pictures. Still a bit of a tussle | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
between high pressure to the south and low to the north. Likely to | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
bring some showroom rain. As with the -- as we look at the detail over | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
the next few days, some queries skies, temperatures will fall over | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
broad areas in the cities, temperatures of around six Celsius. | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
The day will clear tomorrow, we'll see if you showers over the region. | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
Temperatures around 12 Celsius, likely to feel a little chilly with | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
the westerly breeze. As we look ahead to Friday, a bit of a messy | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
picture. We have some showers in the mix, highs around 12 Celsius and | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
going towards Easter, a springtime mix of sunshine and showers on the | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
way. I will review with the outlook, next up, | :11:02. | :11:01. | |
Brighter on Saturday but cloud again on Sunday. Here is Tomasz. | :11:02. | :11:11. | |
Good evening. The weather in the run-up to | :11:12. | :11:12. | |
Christmas... Easter! | :11:13. | :11:15. |
