The BBC has been allowed behind the scenes at a Pfizer storage facility in Leicestershire for the first time.

It's one of only two in the country and will be at the heart of the next phase of the vaccine roll-out after the government announced the Pfizer was being recommended for booster jabs.

This site can store up to 40m doses in specially-designed fridges, which keep them at -75C.

Paul Wilkinson, from Movianto - which runs the warehouse - said it had been a tough job to source the fridges "at a time when the rest of the world was trying to find storage solutions for the vaccines too".

The warehouse has so far transported 90m doses around the country and has employed an extra 120 people.

Team leader Jayson Haggett said many enjoyed the challenge of having to work quickly.

"You have to move them [vaccines] in 60 seconds," he said.

"The freezers can only be open for 60 seconds at a time because if the temperatures start dropping then you risk the product being damaged."

Hampshire will lead the title race into the final round of Championship games after a 122-run win over Nottinghamshire.

A man wanted by police after two men were stabbed is to feature on the BBC TV programme Crimewatch to help widen the search to find him.

Leicestershire Police said the men were seriously attacked with a bladed weapon at a business premises in Leicester in July 2019.

The victims both suffered stab wounds and were treated in hospital for their injuries.

The force said the image of Yahaye Ashker, 25, is set to feature in the live series in the hope it will "generate information about his current whereabouts".

Det Con Berni Rowlson said: "As part of our investigation, we identified Ashker as the person we believe responsible for this assault and despite extensive inquiries completed so far we have been unable to locate him and question him about this incident."

He added the victims were "extremely lucky" not to have been more seriously injured and urged anyone with any information about Mr Ashker or his whereabouts to contact the force.

The victim, who is in her 20s, was attacked near Reading Minster early on Sunday.

Stephen Leonard almost decapitated the woman, 39 years after he murdered a three-year-old girl.

Images have been released to show what a new market in Derby city centre could look like.

Plans have been submitted for a kiosk-style market at St Peter’s Churchyard, next to St Peter’s Street.

Applicants Burton Abbey Developments said if approved, the market could have up to 14 stalls, seating areas, toilet facilities and a performance area.

However, Historic England has objected to the proposals, which involve partially demolishing a Grade II-listed boundary wall.

Derbyshire Police also said in a letter that the applicant should consider the risks involved as drug addicts and street drinkers have been known to use the “nuisance” area in recent times.

In response Burton Abbey Developments said it would introduce a robust management plan, including CCTV, and work with neighbours, police and the city council to “dramatically improve the neighbourhood”.

A spokesperson for the firm said: “Overall we cannot see any negative aspects to the proposal, and of course we wish to work with planners, the conservation area committee, and Derby City Council to ensure that the development is carried out sympathetically and with design values that satisfy any concerns.

"The overall design and materials used can be discussed and agreed upon via planning conditions, and sensitive aspects such as the new entrance will be given the upmost respect and consideration to its history."
