now, a nine year old girl from leicestershire who has downs syndrome, has been told by the nhs she'scy wants now is to be able to walk. at the nhs trust has taken away this opportunity, they say, despite the support of doctors. why do her family think that this frame is so important? macy has to have daily physiotherapy to build the strength in her legs to enable her to stand and walk. the family say time is running out, with every passing month, and the chances of her being able to walk are slipping away further. any progress she has made during term time we have already lost, i believe. she put on weight because she is not exercising every day. her balance becomes more precarious, she is not sleeping well at night because she is not getting at night because she is not getting a physical exercise and stimulation. will help as she had? she has had some help. she received a local education service funded walking frame last september. a policy dictates she is only allowed to use it in school, staff shortages means she spends half the time in it she should do. that is why samantha has t

and, graham satchell has spent the morning at the stanley family farm in leicestershire discussing whetherho is opposed to gm crops and wendy harwood who is a gm scientist. wendy let me ask you first, we've had this debate i mean we've decided in this country that we don't really like gm foods, that they're a bit weird, fiddling with nature that they cross, pollinate with other crops that we don't want them. i don't think that's true. so gm offers a huge amount of possibilities. we've got a lot of gm crops that are grown worldwide at the moment over huge areas. the farmers are getting on very well with them, you know, they love them, but some of the technology is developing all the time and some of the new opportunities that we've got coming up now are even more exciting. and i think you know we really can't afford to sort of turn our back on a technology that could offer us so much to solving some of the problems we're going to be facing in the future. liz, dale in the piece said that we've been fiddling with nature for 9,000 years. isn't there just more clever ways of making crops have b

understand the threat to the species. 0ur reporter kathryn stanczyszyn is at a birdwatching centre in leicestershirel the tough jobs. look at this beautiful view in the anglian birdwatching. there is a big birdwatching festival, known as the glasto of the birdwatching world. it is about conservation and innovative technologies to help conserve birds, and one of the big things they will be talking about today is the osprey and the international mission to find out more about these birds. there is lots of effort to try and repopulate the uk. and who will be finding more about the ospreys, by literally following it and going above and beyond ? literally following it and going above and beyond? sacha dench, behind the group conservation without borders. you tracked the migration all the way to the uk. this is an even biggerjourney, right? it is, this one is slightly longer, all the way from scotland to we st longer, all the way from scotland to west africa. so it is a long way, and this is what takes you there. just describe this. this is the harness i will wear on my back, it essentially turns into a c

heavy and thundery, especially in the afternoon in the east midlands, anywhere from lincolnshire, leicestershirey and heavy in places. the driest weather will be in eastern scotland and north—east england for the longest. behind this band of rain in england and wales it will brighten up but there will be a lot of cloud around and still some showers. breezy and blustery around the showers. highs of 14-20, blustery around the showers. highs of 14—20, so temperatures a bit disappointing for this stage in august. through the evening and overnight we lose the first band of rain, the first moves out of northern ireland and scotland, resting in the northern isles, and thenit resting in the northern isles, and then it will be a mild night with temperatures staying in double figures. tomorrow we have the re m na nts of figures. tomorrow we have the remnants of the front clearing from the north and then we've got a ridge of high pressure across us before the next area of low pressure comes in from the atlantic. there the rain across 0rkney and shetland clearing away, it will brighten up here, but for much

i am at leicestershire fire and rescue, the first service in the country to invest in virtual realityhe real world. for instance, this arson hotspot in leicester is a good reference for investigators looking for clues. it‘s the inside of a destroyed smoke alarm. ijust need to say, the environment is like i‘m standing on ash. it feels very real. teleportation. oh, my gosh. there is a body down there. if you enjoy training, you get more out of it. it‘s already been proven by a study in the united states that if you train in a virtual reality environment, the retention rate is 75%. most of the talks i do on road safety, with powerpoint, we tend to make 5%. so you can see why we‘re looking at this because the training is going to be enhanced so much. if you want to skip 10 seconds forward, you can do it on the controller and skip forward, so you can fast—forward the fire again. you remember from the scene you saw a minute ago, that tv monitor was completely melted. and you can see how it physically affects thing that are not even burning yet. yes, and idea is as it stops, we don't show th

manifesto commitment to leave the eu in a smooth and orderly manner. 50% of my constituents in south leicestershirel leave with no deal on the 31st of october, would you be preferred to stand by and see it happen? would you take action to stop it? —— would you be prepared. the prime minister has been very clear his number one objective, which i support, is to get a deal with the eu and that is why i led a parliamentary task. we weeks ago in meeting with michel barnier talk about the of eu nationals with their parliaments. what i would say is this, the number one objective we haveis this, the number one objective we have is that we must believe that european union in a smooth and orderly manner and that means with a deal, not without a deal. yes, so, when borisjohnson says there should... the line out of number 10 now is the backstop cannot be part of the deal, it is not about softening it, it is saying it cannot be part of it, philip hammond says it wrecks the chances of there being a deal, do you agree? is it a wrecking tactic? my reason for signing the letter, i cannot speak for anyone else, in f
