motorbike accident in Bali. He is in intensive care, but the hospital | :01:08. | :01:13. | |

family. They fear if they money runs out if he could die. | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
It was his dream a job, teaching English to students in Bali. He was | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
involved in a motorbike crash on his way home, he is now critically | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
ill in intensive care. Matthew needs Advanced I see you treatment. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
Back home in Leicestershire his family had been trying to keep up- | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
to-date with his consider -- with his condition. They need to raise | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
thousands of pounds for his condition. He was not insured | :01:52. | :02:02. | |
:02:02. | :02:03. | ||
medically, if they are struggling to find the money. We may need a | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
�100,000 of life savings, that will run out. It is content -- if this | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
condition continues to stay the same, we will have no money in two | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
weeks' time. Doctors say he is in a deep coma and may not recover. His | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
medical bills amounting to �11,000 a week, the family are trying to | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
raise money. They are urging other people to take out medical | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
insurance. Any student or teenager going abroad, please take out | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
medical insurance. Even if your family buyers for you as a | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
Christmas present, you do not understand the stress and strain, | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
and frustration that you have to go for -- go through. The family would | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
like to bring him back home, but that would cost thousands of pounds. | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
They are hoping his condition will improve. | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
Our correspondent has joined us. What is the latest on his | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
condition? He was flown at to Bali to a hospital -- he was flown from | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
Bali to a hospital in Singapore. He it is feared that his condition is | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
deteriorating. As it stands there is nothing that doctors can do. The | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
family are incredibly distressed. They are trying to decide what to | :03:24. | :03:31. | |
do next. Thank you very much. Next tonight, Europe can do it, why | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
can't we? And East Midlands MP says we have a lot to learn from | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
Brussels when it comes to safeguarding jobs at home. He says | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
that the decision to award a huge contract to a German firm, not | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
Bombardier should be challenged. It is now six weeks since | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
Bombardier lost the contract to the German firm Siemens, a �1.4 billion | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
contract to build trains for the Thameslink route across London. | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
Still the outdraw refuses to die down. Siemens were found guilty of | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
corruption charges on other contract. They say that has been | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
addressed. At his Leicestershire home this MP told me it is an issue | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
that this government, and the previous government, they should | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
have addressed it. It appears to me there are very good grounds to | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
question of whether Stevens are appropriate company to handle this | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
contract. I think the government should have taken that into account. | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
It seems to me that there is a case for the government looking again, | :04:44. | :04:54. | |
:04:54. | :04:55. | ||
taking legal advice and seeing what the position is. Liberal-Democrat | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
MEP, Bill told me they should look at the position again if they | :05:02. | :05:12. | |
brokered European are rules. The MPs felt that European governments | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
look after their own workers. you put their project out to tender, | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
you keep in mind of two things. The rules as they stand, but also at | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
looking at ways that we can ensure that we did the best deal to the | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
British tax payer, and British Industry. He says that the | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
government should not be afraid at looking again at the awarding of | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
the Thameslink contract. You are watching East MidlandsToday, | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
if you are thinking of heading to the beach, look no further than | :05:50. | :05:58. | |
Nottingham. The Riviera is in the market square. We have been the | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
all-day. Some have hundreds upon hundreds of people, and I tell you | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
you can see that they are all still here. They are having a brilliant | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
time. We will have all the highlights later on. We will tell | :06:13. | :06:23. | |
:06:23. | :06:25. | ||
you what the weekend that there will be doing. Join me later on. | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
Detectives investigating the murder of a mother in Nottingham have | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
released on bail or a 26-year-old man who was arrested with | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
connections to the killing. Caroline Coyne's body was found two | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
months ago -- two weeks ago. The police and believe a missing | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
trainer could lead to finding her killer. | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
Almost one we can't flowers mark the spot where Caroline Coyne was | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
found. It was a pathway between two houses. The 28-year-old had two | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
sons, she died of head injuries. These are CCTV images showed her | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
trying to flag down a passing traffic. She tried to do this | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
several times after leaving a family party. She was wearing this | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
pink T-shirts. Hirsute, How right hand trainer is still missing. It | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
is identical to the one I am holding. He is a size 3. It is how | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
right trainer. It is vital we find that. The police are stepping up | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
their inquiries. There is one key question that remains unanswered, | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
why was she so far away from home, so late at night? The other thing | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
that is important is trying to find out what was going through her mind | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
that tonight. I believe she has walked all the way, why was she | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
doing that? She engaged with members of the public, they spoke | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
to her, what was she saying? It is vital that we know what she was | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
trying to do. The police insist that the release on bail of a man | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
and they were questioning is not a setback. The cards tell us that she | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
will be truly mess, and not forgotten. | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
Student nurses working at the Pilgrim Hospital in Boston have | :08:23. | :08:27. | |

school at the Pilgrim, told students the decision was taken at | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
the request of the Nursing and Midwifery Council. Earlier this | :08:36. | :08:39. | |

just been granted for a major new store, right next to a busy street | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
full of shops. Many of the traders fear it could put them out of | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
business. But officials say it may actually help to bring more | :12:36. | :12:46. | |
:12:46. | :12:48. | ||
customers to the whole area. From Than there is already a market but | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
it is about to make a way for a supermarket. Tesco was last night | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
given permission to build a major new store. In turn, the market will | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
be rebuilt next door where a pub currently stands. Traders are | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
surprisingly upbeat about competing with Tesco. We will compete with | :13:07. | :13:14. | |
prices. They will have lost leaders. We will do our best. Bring it on | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
for me. If 100,000 people visit Tesco, it is up to us to get them | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
interested in our market. across the road there is a district | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
centre with a lot of shops which will be impacted. Tesco will sell | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
the same things. That does not mean it is necessarily negative. It will | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
bring you in pot -- input. We certainly need jobs and the sort of | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
jobs Tesco can provide other sort of jobs people are looking for. | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
jobs will be created by the store. Tesco says it wants to be a good | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
neighbour. But many of the small independent traders in the area do | :13:55. | :14:02. | |

A packed house at Trent Bridge, the two best Test nations playing. They | :18:08. | :18:15. | |

was Swann and Broad who stopped the I think we can produce the goods | :18:26. | :18:36. | |
:18:36. | :18:37. | ||
today. 2-0. Top of the world. Thank you very much. They have to remain | :18:37. | :18:47. | |
:18:47. | :18:47. | ||
number one. I would like to see Tendulkar it out, first of all. | :18:47. | :18:57. | |

England winning is a dream, India winning his absolute ecstasy. | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
easy win, to be honest. More on Broad in a moment. If you couldn't | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
get a ticket, one option is coming here with a pint. There's no | :19:11. | :19:17. | |

So, it is the special one versus the Swedish one, are you excited? | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
Yes, of course, Real Madrid coming here, to our home, fantastic. When | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
you talk about Real Madrid, it is probably one of the best clubs ever | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
faster up to secure the showpiece friendly with the Spanish giants, | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
Leicester have reportedly paid �1 million. What a game to make your | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
debut end. It is going to be great, this place looks really special. | :20:28. | :20:36. | |

leaving the Premier League? Not at all. I am so happy to be part of | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
this. And, for this Real Madrid fixture, from 1pm, there will be a | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
huge village for fans on the car park. In your 40 years, have you | :21:16. | :21:21. | |

Rebecca Adlington qualified fastest from her heat in the 800 metres | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
freestyle in a Shanghai. But it has been all about Trent | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
Bridge. And Stuart Broad. When Broad and Swann came together, | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
England were in a world of trouble. Wickets tumbling all around, and | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
only 124 runs on the board. The Nottinghamshire pair promptly set | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
about India with a quickfire boundary feast. Swann didn't fare | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
quite as well as Broad. This ball ended up sending him to hospital. | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
But his resurgent county team mate ending up scoring more than twice | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
as much as any other England player today. A brilliant innings from | :22:25. | :22:35. | |
:22:35. | :22:38. | ||
Stuart. 64. England 221 all out. Three great stuff. And then as well | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
a first-ball wicket for England to take at the end of the day. In the | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
end, it was a Nottinghamshire's day. Which is why we have the chief | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
executive with us. It has been a terrific day. Some fantastic | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
cricket which has had the crowd on the edge of their seats. A great | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
start for England. In front of a capacity crowd. Great to have these | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
local heroes performing at this level. Stuart Broad is terrific | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
when he plays for Nottinghamshire. Great to see him on his home ground. | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
And batting so well. It is not just him in the Nottinghamshire team? | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
have seven players representing England over the next week. Graeme | :23:22. | :23:32. | |
:23:32. | :23:39. | ||
Swann. Hales and Patel. Hutton and Kelsall. Do you want to take a bet | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
on how this will go? What I can say is we have four houses tomorrow and | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
Sunday. 300 tickets only left on Monday. | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
This is Trent Bridge, a cracking day's cricket. Really well set up | :23:57. | :24:06. | |
for the rest of the game. Hugely busy around Trent Bridge as | :24:06. | :24:16. | |
:24:16. | :24:22. | ||
Now it's time for the weather. It is going to warm up nicely over the | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
weekend. We have a lot of cloud around. But it has been lovely and | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
colourful today. Earlier, we saw children and sand castles. Now they | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
have got it ready for a game of volleyball. We have a life DJ. Lots | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
of things to eat. And, fairground rides. It is a party atmosphere. | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
What have you been doing here today? Playing with the sand. | :24:53. | :25:03. | |
is the best thing? The rides. have you been doing? I had been | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
playing with the sand and playing volleyball. Come back and see us | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
tomorrow. It will warm up. We are starting to see sunshine breaking | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
through. The main thing you'll notice overnight is we are going to | :25:18. | :25:26. | |
have clearer skies, temperatures colder. We have lost that close | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
feeling. First of all tonight, thank you to Daniel, 16, who sent | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
in tonight's weather picture. A colourful field of poppies. If, | :25:40. | :25:48. | |
like Daniel, you would like to send us your weather pictures, that is | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
the address. Looking at the satellite from earlier today, we | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
were cut with a lot of cloud around. It has been very stubborn. We were | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
expecting it to break. However, it is taking its time. We are only | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
seeing it breaking now. We should see some sunshine before it gets | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
dark. Overnight, clear skies will develop. You may notice and little | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
bit of mist forming in the early hours of Saturday morning. Cooler | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
than what we have been used to come at eight Celsius minimum. Saturday | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
morning, a beautiful and sunny start is expected. As the | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
temperatures rise, cloud will bubble up and we will see sunny | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
spells in the afternoon. Feeling warmer, a top temperature of 21 | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
Celsius. Sunday, high pressure stays with us. An increase in cloud | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
of through the day. But much of the date is dry, sunny and warm. | :26:49. | :26:55. |
