That's all from me, stay with us on BBC1 -

With your news now for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn.

First tonight, a hunt is underway in Nottingham for the man

who sexually assaulted two women in separate attacks,

The daylight attacks happendd a matter of minutes and just a few

Both crime scenes have been cordoned off all day today,

as the police make a meticulous search for evidence.

The first attack was here on Hillside, which links thd back

of the Queen's Medical Centre to Derby Road in Lenton.

Then, at 8:30am, just half `n hour later and two miles away,

the second woman was assaulted here at Woodyard Lane, in Wollaton.

Detectives believe that both of the alleged

serious sexual assaults werd carried out by the same man.

Now, he's described as being of mixed race,

in his late teens or early 20s, and was wearing a hoodie,

and it is believed he may h`ve been travelling by bicycle.

There is CCTV at this second location, but anyone who saw

anything at either scene is urged to contact Nottinghamshire Police.

of a new booking hall and w`iting room at its Duffield termints,

This is how Duffield Station on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway

looked 12 years ago, and this is how it looks today,

with the new booking hall the crowning glory.

Officially open at last, it has taken 18 months of h`rd graft

by a team of dedicated volunteers to build the hall.

We have got a very resolute band of brothers here that

In all weathers, it matters not - they turn up and do the work.

The team have done a pretty dam good job.

In fact, it is quite possible to buy a ticket from St Pancras,

change at Derby and Duffield and you're here.

So, yeah, most importantly, this is a real gateway.

Having taken the railway from derelict to fully oper`tional

in 15 years, the volunteers now have ambitious plans

We already have work in hand to build the maintenance facilities

for not only our rail-cars like you see here

Ultimately, we want to rebuhld Wirksworth Station and have

something as equally magnifhcent as we have here today.

Hannah Meredith will have your updates here

but for now, from me and your weekend team, goodnight.

So far this month most of the rain has been near Eastern coasts. That's

changing quite dramatically. All of this cloud coming in from the south

and this rain band moving across the channel into southern parts of

England right now. The rain is easing off in the south-east of

England. The main focus will be for the south-west of England where

there could be heavy bursts of rain in Devon and Cornwall. With the

shield of cloud pushing into Wales, the Midlands and the southern half

of the UK, but it isn't as cold night. Different story further

north, breaks in the cloud allowing for a touch of frost and pockets of

mist and fog. Northern areas will see spells of sunshine in the

morning. Some showers, but not as many as recently. The Midlands and

the south, more cloud, and shall read bursts of rain. This will clip

south-west parts of Wales. There could be torrential downpours in the

south-west of the UK.
