In the programme tonight: Ignoring rural businesses. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Allegations that parts of Fenland are being overlooked | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
Police describe the behaviour of Helen Bailey's fiance | :00:11. | :00:31. | |
Pioneering new treatment for teenagers who self-harm finds | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
And Peaky the robot takes a rocket ride into near space carrying | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
messages to the world from schoolchildren | :00:40. | :00:40. | |
First tonight there are claims tonight that businesses in Fenland | :00:41. | :01:03. | |
are missing out on tens of thousands of pounds of support because | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
the Local Enterprise Partnership is targetting more affluent | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
It's an allegation supported by the local MP Stephen Barclay | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
who says the partnership set up by the Government to promote | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
economic growth is actually failing some rural areas. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
He says the LEP must be made more accountable and that | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
A Fenland company with a multi-million pound turnover. | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
These are destined to become high-tech MRI | :01:30. | :01:30. | |
One to help decommissioned Sellafield, but say lack of funding | :01:31. | :01:48. | |
from the Enterprise Partnership is hindering their expansion plans. | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
Much of what we do here ultimately results in money in the pockets of | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
our employees which goes into the local community. | :01:55. | :01:55. | |
All of the local shops, services, ultimately benefit | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
from the investment and the growth of this business. | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
We have got a terrific opportunity to turn this | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
into a very, very substantial business over the next two years. | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
And we have had very little support, sadly. | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
The enterprise partnership at the heart of all of this is based | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Its aim is to bring inward investment of | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
Government funding to help businesses. | :02:25. | :02:25. | |
It works across eight different counties with the aim of | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
trying to bring in more jobs across the whole of the area. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
One of the MPs for fenland claims that | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
companies and infrastructure projects are not being treated | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
There is concerns in terms of major projects such as with | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
Beach Rail, such as duelling the A47 which appear to be making no | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
progress whatsoever, when schemes with a weaker business case | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
elsewhere in the county are being request by the local enterprise | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
There is a lack of transparency as to how they are | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
reaching those investment decisions, why they are pushing schemes to the | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
south of the county and not those in fenland. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
But the enterprise partnership like they were targeting | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
the more affluent parts of the region. | :03:05. | :03:16. | |
Infrastructure delivery, to whatever part of the county or | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
I think that is the reality, as well. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
We understand that local people feel they need | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
it and need it now, that is | :03:27. | :03:27. | |
Can you understand why they feel they're | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
I can understand why they feel like they | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
are being forgotten, but other areas will feel the same. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Companies here feel they will continue to expand, | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
but say the rate at which they can grow and grasp opportunities is | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair joins us now. | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
The Government sets a lot of store by Local Enterprise | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
on this. It was the last month, the made up of local business people and | :03:55. | :04:06. | |
a handful of local councillors and their job is to champion local | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
growth to improve their local economy. The idea that local people | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
know best what the local economy means, so why don't they do the | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
lobbying? The Treasury does listen very carefully to them. The greater | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
Cambridgeshire MEP was very instrumental in getting the A4 | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
upgraded. That has been important for the county. I think what | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
frustrates politicians in Fenland is that they look over the border at | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
the Norfolk and Suffolk areas, and they see that there is money there | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
and investment going into Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. I think | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
politicians in ten Pack three worried that they are being ignored. | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
Steven Barclay was complaining about the lack | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
This is a complaint from across the country. Maybe from Labour all | :04:53. | :05:03. | |
editions -- mainly. MEPs are becoming increasingly powerful. We | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
the public can't hold them to account and we can't vote them out | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
of office if we can't like them. I don't know how we get past this | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
accountability issue. There is another issue why this row matters, | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
Cambridgeshire is about to get devolution and critics of devolution | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
were worried that this one large authority with its one men would put | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
all the funding into Cambridge at the expense of the local county. | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
This incident will make them a bit nervous. | :05:34. | :05:34. | |
And Andrew will be joining us again later in the programme | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
The fiance of the murdered children's author Helen Bailey | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
was non-committal and "couldn't be bothered" when police | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
tried to interview him over her disappearance, | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
Ian Stewart is accused of sedating and killing Ms Bailey, | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
before dumping her body in a cesspit at their home in Royston. | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
Today police officers told the court that Stewart was reluctant to be | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
formally interviewed, but watched their every | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
move as they searched for his missing partner. | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
Kate Bradbrook is at St Albans Crown Court now. | :06:05. | :06:16. | |
Today we saw a police interview which was conducted with Ian Stewart | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
back in April. Also today police have released audio of a phone call | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
in which Ian Stuart reports is fiancee missing. We can hear extract | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
from that now. How can I help? My partner has been missing since | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
Monday and has not contacted anyone. Sergei was going away. Hasn't gone | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
where she said she was going. We just decided we should report it. | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
Yes. Has been reported already? No. And she has been missing since | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
Monday? Yes. Other evidence today focused on police searches of Helen | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
Bailey's home in Royston in the three months until her body was | :07:00. | :07:00. | |
discovered. Helen Bailey was last seen | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
on the 11th of April last year and reported missing to police | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
a few days later. Officers searched | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
Helen's home in Royston several times along | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
with the Today, the court heard | :07:10. | :07:10. | |
from one of the officers Special Sergeant | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Nicole Goodier said... She said he was very inquisitive, | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
asking why we were doing things. He was watching our | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
every single move. Another officer, Sergeant | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
Stephen Oliphant, said at first Ian Stewart was very | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
accommodating, that of other times He said he appeared | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
to be in pain from his recent surgery, holding | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
his hand to his side. It was the job of DC Holly Deigns | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
to conduct a formal recorded She said he didn't want | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
to do the interview. She said he very rarely make eye | :07:47. | :07:57. | |
contact and on one occasion after a conversation | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
we had with him... He said Ian Stewart only started | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
to relax when officers had He agreed to be | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
interviewed on the 22nd The prosecution claim Ian Stuart | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
sedated his fiancee with sleeping pills before killing her | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
and putting her body Ian Stewart denies murder, fraud, | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
perverting the course of justice and preventing | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
a lawful burial. At that police interview was played, | :08:34. | :08:42. | |
Ian Stewart was deemed too weak in the dock. We also heard he told | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
police that she had left a note and that they had set a wedding date for | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
September 20 16. This case will continue on Monday. | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
It's often a hidden problem and notoriously hard to treat. | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
But teenagers who carry out self-harm are being offered | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
a new form of therapy in Milton Keynes and it's showing | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
It uses techniques like mindfulness to help young people | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
It's expensive, but should save the NHS money in the long term. | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
So, when I was about 12, I was in a psychologically-abusive | :09:17. | :09:26. | |
relationship which affected me quite badly | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
mentally and I started turning to self harm as a coping mechanism. | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
I started showing signs that I wanted to kill myself and I was | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
depressed and that I just didn't want to be alive all be here. | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
Hard stories to hear, but these teenagers | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
Over 3,000 referrals were made to the child and adolescent mental | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
health services in the past year and this number is growing. | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
But therapists here believe they have the tool | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
Over the past year, Milton Keynes CAMHS has rolled out a | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
new type of therapy called DBT which aims | :10:04. | :10:04. | |
to help young people who | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
frequently self harm, or have attempted suicide. | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
The treatment programme runs for up to a year and | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
works on a new way of addressing emotional crisis. | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
Using therapies such as distress tolerance and | :10:18. | :10:18. | |
we distress tolerance where we build skills and | :10:19. | :10:28. | |
the tips skills way you do things like temperature, so you have change | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
of temperature, so you can have like a really cold | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
bath or shower kind of | :10:35. | :10:35. | |
thing and it just brings a different sensation. | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
The treatment costs between ?70,000 and ?100,000 a year. | :10:38. | :10:52. | |
But the trust says it will save them money. | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
I think historically, these are the kinds of people who come to | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
CAMHS who end up coming to A E multiple times. | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
Who end up being admitted to in-patient units for | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
Who might end up being transferred to adult mental health | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
So, hopefully this is going to stop some | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
of those things happening and save money in the long run. | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
The trust says they are committed to using DBT | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
Prince William has officially announced that he is to leave his | :11:14. | :11:25. | |
job The palace says that it will mean | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
that he can spend more time on Royal duties. The prince as he has love | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
being part of a team that saves lives everyday. He stops in the | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
summer. Later, Julie has the weather | :11:42. | :11:42. | |
for the rest of the weekend, First back to Stewart | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
and Susie for the rest Stay with us for your | :11:46. | :11:56. | |
weekend weather forecast. We have an interview | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
with under-pressure And we go to an American diner | :12:00. | :12:00. | |
in Essex, to find out what they think | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
about President Trump. You would be forgiven for thinking | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
that MPs at Westminster have got just one thing on their minds | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
at the moment - Brexit - particularly after the | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
events of this week. None of them know where they will be | :12:20. | :12:20. | |
working in a few years' time. The Houses of Parliament | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
are in desperate need of repair and officials want to move everyone | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
out of the building for up to six years, while the | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
work takes place. Some of our MPs are | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
resigned to the idea, but others are kicking up a fuss. | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair has been listening | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
to both sides of the argument. Pretty much directly | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
under the Central Lobby. This is the bit of the Houses | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
of Parliament which the public Deep underground are corridors | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
stuffed with pipework and wiring, Physically, there is not enough room | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
to fit any more pipework. My guide is Andy Piper, who is | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
drawing up the renovation plans. He points out the crumbling | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
brickwork and some of We know what type of cables | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
they are, but what we don't know is where they run, | :13:10. | :13:20. | |
what they serve and what they do. This is the current | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
telephone system here. That is the current | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
telephone system?! That is the current telephone | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
system for Westminster. MPs say it is a problem which cannot | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
be ignored any longer. We are talking about | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
the possibility that, at any stage, we could have part | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
of the building, We know there has been | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
dozens of potential The building has really not | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
been properly maintained And when you get up on the roof, | :13:45. | :13:52. | |
the wear and tear is clear to see. Everyone is agreed that | :13:53. | :14:01. | |
extensive work is needed. The big question is, | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
how do you do it? Do you move everyone away from this | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
building for six years and do Or allow MPs and their staff | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
to stay here, but let And that option would | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
also be more expensive. The recommendation is to | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
move out altogether. The safest option, | :14:21. | :14:22. | |
as well as the cheapest option, is to get out of it and let | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
the workers get on with it. Then, we will have, | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
I think, the best result. At this time of Brexit, | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
I think it is crucial we make best use of this iconic building, | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
the Houses of Parliament. The alternative will be, | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
at a time when we are trying to make international friends and secure | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
favourable trade agreements, are we going to be operating | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
from the courtyard of the Department of Health? | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
What message does that send? The MP has become the unofficial | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
leader of the campaign A decision is needed soon, | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
because this work will not wait. And Shailesh Vara will be one | :14:56. | :15:08. | |
of the guests this week So, too, will Julian Huppert, | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
from the Liberal Democrats. We will be talking about | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
the problems facing Parliament and the latest funding | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
crisis to hit students. That is on Sunday | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
at 11am on BBC One. As you may have seen, | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
Donald Trump has been sworn in as the 45th President | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
of the United States. Almost one million people | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
thronged Washington for Of course, the event | :15:28. | :15:28. | |
was followed across the world and it was the big talking point at | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
the Bungalow Diner in Colchester - a little corner of America in Essex. | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
Dawn Gerber was there. It is a slice of America, | :15:37. | :15:44. | |
but in the county of Essex. And it has got everything you would | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
want from an American diner. People come from far | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
and wide to visit, because they obviously like to | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
taste our American food. A good old-fashioned jukebox | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
and a range of classic burgers, And my breakfast favourite, | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
pancakes with maple syrup. Pancakes aside, today | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
is all about the man who is going to be in charge of the USA | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
for the next four years. American businessman | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
Donald Trump is the 45th He is a man that controversy seems | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
to follow and one who uses Twitter, instead of press conferences, | :16:17. | :16:24. | |
to speak to the public. Today at the Capitol Building | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
in Washington, he took the Oath of Office, where he promised | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
to protect America and its people and to be a good leader, | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
which his fans embrace. But that is something that | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
some of the US ex-pats I don't think he's going | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
to protect our daily lives, things like the cost | :16:38. | :16:47. | |
of healthcare, the cost of food. They are stocking the | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
government with people I think the idea of protecting the | :16:50. | :17:07. | |
American people is the one thing that he is committed to doing. He | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
will do it through the enhancement of national security and through | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
putting a lot of money into the defence sector. We all need to be | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
watching him. As global citizens and Americans. The president says he | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
wants to make America great again, create more jobs and be tough on | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
terrorism and immigration. As the billionaire takes office, supporters | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
will mark today is a great day. Those against them, they are more | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
likely to be anxiously watching his every move over the next four years. | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
Yes, and after a wretched week for Ipswich, Town boss Mick McCarthy | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
said he is in no mood to quit. Here is Tom. | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
He remains focused on tomorrow's trip to Huddersfield. | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
Mick McCarthy told me he has no intention of walking away. | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
He has been in charge at Ipswich for more than four years. | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
He saved them from relegation. Nearly took them up. | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
But this week, Town were knocked out of the Cup. | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
Humiliated by non-league Lincoln, live on television, | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
leading to some fans urging him to quit. | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
It was an awful result, it was an awful performance, | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
and all the things people said about it. | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
Embarrassing, humiliating, yeah, it is. | :18:25. | :18:25. | |
But I think we should give Lincoln credit, | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
I thought they were excellent in both games and deserved to win it. | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
I have been the giantslayer before and it's great | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
You bask in the glory and everyone is patting you on the back. | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
And, of course, whether we are giants or not, I guess we are, | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
in terms of the comparison, then, it's horrible. | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
It's dreadful. Yesterday was awful. | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
But do you know what, there's nothing I can do about that now. | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
The last three league performances have been good. | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
The last result was good, so that's what we want to get back to. | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
Sad as it may be, as humbling as it may be, and humiliating as it might | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
We've got to go to Huddersfield and gather our feathers | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
No doubt you have felt the brunt of fans' wrath on many occasions. | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
I've also felt the glory on a number of occasions, as well. | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
I've probably had more of that since being here | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
Pats on the back. It's been good. | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
This season has been different. Does it bother me? | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
I prefer to have nice things said about me and not to have people | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
giving me stick and the team stick, but you know, they come to watch | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
us win, they want to watch us play well. | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
And we didn't do that, so I accept it. | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
Would you ever walk away from Ipswich, Mick? | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
No, I've no intentions of doing that. | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
I don't know if I can be any more determined. | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
If I could, that suggests that I'm not being as determined | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
It's as far away from the truth as can be. | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
No, I remain as focused and as determined to be a success here. | :20:02. | :20:10. | |
As you said, a hugely-encouraging display in the league last week. | :20:11. | :20:12. | |
Huddersfield away. That's a tough one, though. | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
Of course it is. And so is Preston and so is Derby | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
when they come here. We've not had an easy one yet. | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
Mick McCarthy is the longest-serving manager in the Championship. | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
Appointed in November 2012. Simon Grayson at Preston is second. | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
Then, former Norwich boss, Chris Hughton. | :20:28. | :20:28. | |
Fourth on the list is the current Norwich manager Alex Neil, | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
whose under-pressure side play Wolves tomorrow, | :20:32. | :20:32. | |
who are now managed by another former City boss, Paul Lambert. | :20:33. | :20:41. | |
Everyone connected with Norwich is wanting Norwich to win the game, | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
so the best opportunity and the best chance for us to win the game | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
is if the fans support the players and, hopefully, be very vocal | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
in getting behind them. But I fully appreciate | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
and understand that we have to give them a performance to shout about. | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
At Northampton, it is Justin Edinburgh's | :20:58. | :20:58. | |
Tomorrow, that will mean a short trip down the M1 to play MK Dons. | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
The new Cobblers' manager has been promised money to spend | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
and has already made his first signing, | :21:06. | :21:06. | |
with Crystal Palace striker Keshi Anderson arriving on loan. | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
We are going to play off the front foot. | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
My teams have always been set up to do that. | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
And that is what this team will be set up to do. | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
So, we have got to raise the morale, the confidence, | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
but I saw very good signs this morning in training. | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
And as we are in the football transfer window, how about this? | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
Manchester City have forked out a staggering ?175,000, to buy | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
Southend's 13-year-old defender, Finley Burns. | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
Apparently, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal were all interested. | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
He had been playing for the under-16s. | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
Southend have said it is a huge compliment for their academy. | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
Rugby union now and England head coach Eddie Jones has named | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
four Northampton players in his Six Nations squad. | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
Courtney Lawes, Teimana Harrison, Dylan Hartley and Tom Wood | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
Next week, Jones will confirm whether Hartley will lead the side. | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
His team mates certainly think he should continue as captain. | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
He is working as hard as I have ever seen him work | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
He can only hope that Eddie gives him another shot | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
at skipping the side. I think he deserves it. | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
He has been fantastic for us in the last 12 months. | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
And European action for Northampton tonight at Montpellier. | :22:23. | :22:23. | |
Saints are bottom of the group and cannot qualify. | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
In the British Irish Cup tomorrow, Bedford's final group game | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
Finally, Huntingdon's Olympic gymnast Dan Keatings has | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
announced his retirement, at the of 27. | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
A former European Champion, Dan also won Commonwealth gold in Glasgow. | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
He says he has many great memories, "but now needs to kick back, | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
"drink some beers and spend time with the wife!" | :22:49. | :22:57. | |
Well done to Mick McCarthy for giving us that interview. | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
Most people will remember K-9 in Doctor Who or maybe | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
has become the latest robot in space. | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
It was helped on its way by 800 school children | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
and is programmed to speak messages from children across the world. | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
It was launched in Royston this morning. | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
Named Peakey, after astronaut Tim Peake, | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
this small blue robot is about to boldly go into near space. | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
His mission - to teach children all about space | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
There is a lot of excitement around robotics, interest | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
in robotics and a lot of talk about a robotic revolution. | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
This is really all about enabling children to explore | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
the difficulties of getting robots to do real-world jobs. | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
Over 800 children from around the globe entered a competition | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
to come up with messages for Peaky to relay back down to Earth. | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
12 have been selected and, as soon as the robot | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
reaches 20,000 metres, he should spring into action. | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
This is a tracker, so this senses height. | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
The GPS device there. Height and location. | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
But with the launch imminent, I'm not sure Peaky is convinced. | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
However, now is not the time for seconds thoughts. | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
Yes, cos if it is afraid of heights, it might be really scared! | :24:16. | :24:32. | |
You do not get to see that sort of thing every day and it was just | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
a very good opportunity for us to have that opportunity. | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
Back at mission control, there were concerns that Peaky might | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
be making a splash landing in the sea. | :24:44. | :24:45. | |
The other robot left behind just glad it wasn't him! | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
I wanted to go myself, but did not make it through robot | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
astronaut training. The truth is, heights make me dizzy. | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
The good news is that Peaky landed safely on land in Lincolnshire, | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
allowing a giant leap in understanding for his fans here. | :25:01. | :25:19. | |
Now, we can catch up on the weather forecast | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
Lastly, it was fairly cold. Many places below freezing. A beautiful | :25:25. | :25:44. | |
winter day today. Thank you very much for this wonderful photograph. | :25:45. | :25:53. | |
This was a beautiful sunset near Great Yarmouth a little while ago. | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
Norfolk did see some sunshine today. Some areas of cloud the South | :25:59. | :26:07. | |
Dublin. Moreover the feeding during the next few hours. But overnight, | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
clear sky and that could mean along a sharp frost. Again, temperatures | :26:14. | :26:26. | |
could drop down to minus 5-6 C. High pressure in charge tomorrow, but it | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
shifts position slightly, so it means we could have a bit more in | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
the way of cloud. The frost will eventually disappear and that will | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
be helped by the increase in cloud expected from the North Sea. For | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
most of us, a dry day and the further south you are, the more | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
likely you are to enjoy some sunshine. Temperatures tomorrow, | :26:56. | :27:06. | |
like today, a rise of around 5-6 C. Moderate wind. We finished the be | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
fine and dry. Sunday, high-pressure steam in charge. Most and fog to | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
clear first thing, but I better chance of all those getting some | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
sunshine during the day. For the start of the working week, much the | :27:26. | :27:33. | |
same pattern, but mist and fog could linger in many products. It could | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
actually Steve Withers wrote the day in some parts. Thank you very much. | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
Have a good weekend. TV: He's not your father. | :27:42. | :27:53. | |
WOMAN GASPS so why not pay your TV licence in | :27:54. | :28:15. | |
weekly instalments, too? | :28:16. | :28:19. |
