ITV's former Central Studios building is now the University of Nottingham's Kings Meadow Campus and in recent months has become a vaccination centre.

It is one of 40 vaccination sites in the East Midlands now offering walk-in appointments with no pre-booking needed for anyone over 18 who qualifies for a first or second dose.

Site manager Tom Evans said about 2,000 jabs were given per day at weekends, and this weekend marks the biggest vaccination push yet.

There is a particular focus on young people following concerns about misinformation and myths on social media.

Lucy Hubber, the new director of public health in Nottingham, said this weekend was the perfect time for people to visit a centre and get advice before deciding whether to get the jab or not.

"It doesn't mean to say you have to have the jab but at least you will have had the conversation and get your questions answered for you personally," she said.

"It might just give you the information that you need to give you the confidence."

A dog walker held on to her pet despite being kicked in the stomach as two people tried to steal it.

Nottinghamshire Police said the 51-year-old was walking on Blyth Road in Worksop, when a man and a woman tried to grab the dog at about 15:40 on 11 June.

She was then kicked to the ground before the pair fled.

She was not seriously hurt and her dog was unharmed, the force said.

Both suspects have been described as being in their 40s.

The woman, who had a Liverpudlian accent, had bleached blonde hair and was wearing a peach-coloured T-shirt.

The man, who was bald on top with short hair on the sides, was wearing a dark-coloured shirt and three-quarter length shorts.

Nottinghamshire Police's dog theft lead Ch Insp Amy Styles-Jones said attempts to take dogs by force were "extremely rare".

He was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre with a head injury where he later died.

Officers from the force's roads policing team have spoken to witnesses and reviewed CCTV but said it is still "unclear" how the man came off his bicycle.

Sgt Craig Luckett said: "It's possible that the victim fell off the bike, had a medical incident, or it could be the result of a collision - we just need to explore all avenues, even if it's just to rule out whether anyone else was involved."

He is appealing for anyone with information to get in contact with the force.

Some photographers were lucky enough to get a break in the clouds and glimpse a supermoon last night.

The Strawberry Moon was named by Native Americans, who harvested fruit in June, and is the final supermoon of the year.

Photographer Leigh Windridge said he was "stunned" when he spotted it at about 23:00 on Thursday over Bulwell in Nottingham.

The 47-year-old said the Moon "finally popped up" when the clouds cleared and he captured it just before it "promptly disappeared behind a tree".

Jim Bell, who said he has been a keen astronomer for over 50 years, "couldn't believe it was poking through the clouds" over Belper, in Derbyshire.

The 76-year-old said: "I knew it was coming, so I looked out of the upstairs window.

"The colour of it was absolutely stunning."

Rain at first but this will mostly clear away to leave a cloudy morning.

Some sunny spells are likely in the afternoon but heavy showers could develop with the odd rumble of thunder.
