"remote and rural" parts of the north east of england could soon see more zero—emission buses on the roads. it's part of a £130 million government scheme being launched today, with rural areas getting priority for the first 25 million. councils are being asked to bid for a share of the money. roads minister richard holden visited scarborough bus—builders plaxton�*s for the launch. ijust want i just want to make sure it ijust want to make sure it is across the country, so it is not just urban areas benefiting from the new buses. that is why i am so happy to see them, so many of them being manufactured in the uk and here in scarborough. manufactured in the uk and here in scarborough. one woman from sheffield, had anxiety and low self—esteem as a result of abusive relationships. but that all changed when nina reaney discovered nixed martial arts. on saturday the single mum of three will step into the ring at doncaster dome for her first amateur mma fight. amy garcia has been to see her in training. ijust got to a point where i'm just... i'm just sick of being scared all the time. sick of that. not that sickly scared feeling. just desperate to find a way out of it. it's a challenging sport, both physically and mentally. when nina started mma fighting, two years ago, there was past trauma and abuse she needed to address head on. being scared. growing up, it developed going through school and i started with depression. i started self—harming and then it sort of moved on from there when i'd met partners in my life and experienced violence. ijust wanted to get past it and overcome it. and this seemed to be the way to do it. because you have suffered domestic abuse in the past. this sort of sport could be quite triggering. why did you want to do it? the first few months it was like that, it was quite triggered and i did get quite emotional. but i felt if i gave up, i'd never. i'd never get over it. come into mma and doing this, ijust. i wanted to be a fighter and not a punchbag. and this has helped me achieve that to become a fighter, notjust with me, but in here and in myself. trainer andy is helping nina get match fit for her first amateur fight as the only female in his mma class. he's seen her grow as a person as well as a fighter. she was quite timid, just hovering around the front door when she first come out, butjust sort of get past everything she's been through and get in a position where she's ready to fight to get to that level. it took some real focus and drive. on saturday, she'll face an icelandic opponent in front of 1,000 spectators at doncaster dome. a big fight on saturday. how are you feeling about it? i'm confident now. it's just something that i just want to do once, and i just think that will be the making of everything that i've worked for. do you feel scared any more? no, absolutely not. ifeel like i'm who i'm meant to be now, if that makes sense. yeah, ifeel on top of the world at the moment. amy garcia, bbc north. a prominent museum in the east of england has revealed its links to slavery for the first time. a new exhibition at the fitzwilliam in cambridge, called black atlantic, tells the story of the millions of people transported from africa to the americas to work as slaves. the museum itself was built with profits from that trade. janine machin has been along. the fitzwilliam museum, built in 1816 and named after viscount richard fitzwilliam. he studied at cambridge university and left it a large sum of money which paid for these galleries. but much of his fortune was his grandfather's. matthew dekker was an investor in the south sea company, the royal african company and the east india company. and these were all companies which were heavily involved in slave trading and colonisation across the world. it's one of the lesser known stories the museum is keen to share as part of a new exhibition called black atlantic, the story of how millions of people were transported from africa to the americas to work in european colonies. the exhibits show how slavery became part of our everyday life. coffee, sugar, tobacco, even mahogany became commonplace because the work of slaves made the product cheaper. artwork, too, tracks an important shift. this is the earliest known portrait of a man of colour in european art. it's the first time the museum has fully explored its links to slavery. so why has it taken until now? we've been very reliant on a story of an individual�*s generosity without thinking hard enough about where that money came from and the human cost that lies behind that bequest. but perhaps the best we can say at the moment is better late than never. thousands of people visit this museum every year, usuallyjust to see the exhibits. now the museum building itself is part of the story. now if you happen to be in the capitol and you're looking for something to do this weekend — the world's largest festival of architecture and neighbourhoods gets under way today in london. over the next two weeks, more than 700 events including guided tours, walks and lectures — will take place as part of the open house festival. visitors can apply via a ballot to visit some of london's most interesting buildings — many of which aren't usually open to the public. other venues operate as a drop—in with no need to book in advance. more than 20,000 people are expected in grimsby, in the north of england, over the next three days for this year's viking festival. have a look at this! the three—day event opens later today, telling the thousand —year—old story of grim the viking, and his role in founding the town. two longboats will be lit up on the waterfront, along with a recreation of a viking village, and children will have the chance to take part in warrior training. hello. the weather is set to change over the next few days, but in the short term, our september heatwave goes on. some of the clearest of the skies today are in the north of scotland. some spots further south have got a little bit more cloud in the mix, mostly fairly high cloud, but it is turning the sunshine hazy, suppressing temperatures a little in some locations. still, though, seeing highs of 31 in the southeast, but 28 or 29 in parts of the highlands. we could just see the odd sharp shower here late in the day, also for northern ireland. and then through tonight, some showers and thunderstorms could affect south west england and parts of west wales. elsewhere, some patches of cloud a little bit, mist and murk around, some clear spells, too, on what will be another very warm night, 13 to 18 degrees as the overnight lows. now for tomorrow, we willjust see a few more showers in the mix, particularly across western and northern parts. in fact, we've got a frontal system that will be trying to push its way in towards the far north west of scotland. further south and east, some spells of hot sunshine. this could actually be the hottest day of all, 33 degrees possible in london, a little bit cooler and fresher, though, further north and west. now, with that heat across parts of england and wales through the late afternoon, we could well see some sharp showers and thunderstorms popping up. they will be quite isolated, quite well scattered. but if you do catch one, it could give you a lot of rain in a short space of time. and then actually overnight on saturday night, we willjust see a few more showers and thunderstorms developing. and it is possible that for sunday morning, for the great north run, we could see a few heavy showers, maybe the odd thunderstorm, some sunny spells, too. and perhaps one piece of good news, not quite as warm as it has been, because we will see more showers and some thunderstorms affecting many parts of the uk during the day on sunday. the driest and brightest weather likely to be towards south eastern parts of england where temperatures again could get to 30 degrees, but further north and west, 21 for belfast, 22 in glasgow. and that is a sign of things to come because into next week we will see something markedly cooler working down from the north, see these yellow and even blue colours pushing across the charts, temperatures back much closer to where they should be at this time of the year. there will be some rain at times and the nights will also be significantly chillier. live
