This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies and Dominic Heale. Our

:00:03.:00:05.

top story tonight - the talented young footballer who died smuggling

:00:05.:00:15.
:00:15.:00:16.

drugs. Reece Staples died in police custody after a packet of cocaine

:00:16.:00:18.

he had swallowed burst. Also tonight, the mystery rescuer

:00:18.:00:26.

who saved a five-year-old girl from drowning. I would like to say thank

:00:26.:00:30.

you for carrying me home and getting me out of the river.

:00:30.:00:33.

Plus, a rare music for a rare instrument, a long-lost Elgar is

:00:33.:00:42.

found in Loughborough. He had to have his arm twisted to write it. I

:00:42.:00:45.

don't think he was keen to write it because it was an instrument he was

:00:45.:00:49.

not familiar with. And the wedding film finally

:00:49.:00:59.
:00:59.:01:03.

reunited with the happy couple, 52 Good evening. Welcome to

:01:03.:01:06.

Wednesday's programme. Police officers have told an inquest they

:01:06.:01:08.

deeply regret not believing a teenager who told them he'd

:01:08.:01:15.

swallowed cocaine which he'd smuggled in from Costa Rica. They

:01:15.:01:20.

were later disciplined for gross misconduct. 19-year-old Reece

:01:20.:01:23.

Staples was a former Nottingham Forest Academy player. He died

:01:23.:01:26.

after one of the 19 packets he'd swallowed burst, releasing a fatal

:01:26.:01:29.

dose of the drug. Our chief news reporter Quentin Rayner was at

:01:29.:01:34.

today's hearing. In June 2009 Reece Staples returned

:01:34.:01:42.

from a trip to Costa Rica. Inside his stomach were 19 packets of

:01:42.:01:44.

cocaine which he'd swallowed a week before and smuggled into the

:01:44.:01:50.

country. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, he went to the

:01:50.:01:54.

house shared by his aunt and uncle in Old Basford and started smashing

:01:54.:01:56.

the windscreens of their cars and hitting their front door. Witnesses

:01:56.:01:59.

said he seemed very agitated and repeatedly shouted, "I'm going to

:01:59.:02:01.

die". He was arrested and taken to

:02:01.:02:04.

Oxclose Lane Station in Nottingham where four hours later he collapsed

:02:04.:02:07.

and was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital. The inquest heard from

:02:07.:02:10.

some of the five police officers who were later disciplined for

:02:10.:02:16.

gross misconduct for their handling of the case. When the teenager was

:02:16.:02:18.

arrested in Old Basford he told the officers he'd swallowed cocaine

:02:18.:02:23.

from Costa Rica, it had burst and he was going to die. But the

:02:23.:02:25.

officer who spoke to him dismissed his comments because he'd already

:02:25.:02:31.

lied about having a knife and tried to run away from them. Sergeant

:02:31.:02:34.

Neil Haynes said he hadn't been trained to spot the symptoms of

:02:34.:02:37.

cocaine overdose. He said, "I should have asked more questions. I

:02:37.:02:42.

wish I had and I clearly regret that". The arresting officer, PC

:02:42.:02:45.

Ben Hensell said he failed in his duties in not telling the custody

:02:46.:02:48.

sergeant straight away about Reece claiming to have swallowed cocaine.

:02:48.:02:55.

When he did later, nothing was done. Dr David Rouse, a forensic

:02:55.:02:57.

pathologist, said whatever time Reece was taken to hospital he

:02:57.:03:05.

wouldn't have survived. Dr Rouse said it was impossible to say when

:03:05.:03:10.

the packet of cocaine ruptured. Cocaine levels of more than five

:03:10.:03:13.

were always fatal. Reece's level was over ten. Officers have been

:03:13.:03:18.

given updated training. In future those claiming to have swallowed

:03:18.:03:25.

drugs are taken to hospital immediately. The inquest continues.

:03:25.:03:28.

The family of a five-year-old say they're desperate to find the

:03:28.:03:33.

mystery man who apparently saved their little girl's life. Millie

:03:33.:03:42.

Chapman fell in a canal near her home in Leicester. She'd been out

:03:42.:03:44.

walking with her grandfather. Our reporter Helen Astle is at the

:03:44.:03:52.

canal this evening. It is pretty chilly here tonight

:03:53.:03:56.

but it has even called when the canal was frozen and little Milly

:03:56.:03:59.

is certainly very lucky. We were just walking along by the

:03:59.:04:08.

side of the can now and she started to trip -- by the canal. But she

:04:08.:04:12.

just fell backwards into the canal. To see her face under the water and

:04:12.:04:15.

I managed to grab a coat and pull her to the side but she stepped out

:04:15.:04:22.

of my hands and then I was able to hold her head above the water and

:04:22.:04:28.

shouting help. Quite loudly. She is now safe and at home with

:04:28.:04:34.

her mum that she remembers clearly what happened and being rescued.

:04:34.:04:42.

heard granddad shouting. And then he came and helped and I found a

:04:42.:04:47.

rock in the water, stood on that and he could get me up.

:04:47.:04:52.

After lifting her out of the canal, the mystery man carried her half-a-

:04:52.:04:57.

mile home talking to her all the time. He could have saved her life.

:04:57.:05:02.

Her grandad had got her so she was not drowning but he saved her life.

:05:02.:05:06.

It could have been a bit longer and she could have got hyperthermia or

:05:06.:05:11.

anything. We owe him everything. The family are now desperate to

:05:11.:05:16.

find the man and thank him. literally took her to the door,

:05:16.:05:20.

gave her to her grande marque and the grandmother said "please come

:05:20.:05:24.

in and get dry, have a cup of tea" and he could not and he said he

:05:24.:05:29.

needed to go so that is why we weren't able to get any name of or

:05:29.:05:34.

a phone number or address. thought it was fantastic. Amazing.

:05:34.:05:38.

I just would reveal like to have expressed my appreciation. I would

:05:38.:05:42.

like to say thank you for carrying me home and getting me out of the

:05:42.:05:50.

As you can see, she is absolutely fine. The mystery man has not come

:05:50.:05:57.

forward still but the family would love to find him to say thank you.

:05:57.:06:00.

Still to come on the programme, are Nottingham's parking charges too

:06:00.:06:03.

complicated and costly? Plus - it's all change on the weather with

:06:03.:06:12.

double digit temperatures, then a bit of a dip. Just as we get used

:06:12.:06:15.

to be milder temperatures, there's news of the colder air returning

:06:15.:06:25.
:06:25.:06:26.

but will it be as bad as last time? Unemployment in the region has gone

:06:26.:06:34.

up again and now stands at 8.2%, just below the national average.

:06:34.:06:37.

The latest figures show that there were 188,000 people out of work

:06:37.:06:45.

between October and December. That's an increase of 1,000.

:06:45.:06:47.

Once again, the figures highlight the difficulties that young people

:06:47.:06:50.

face finding work. From Leicester, here's our political editor, John

:06:50.:06:52.

Hess. The monthly unemployment figures

:06:52.:07:01.

can mask the real picture. In this area of Leicester, the number out

:07:01.:07:04.

of work is a third higher than the regional East Midlands average.

:07:04.:07:07.

This project is helping to give young people the chance to get into

:07:07.:07:09.

the world of work. These teenagers want to build

:07:09.:07:14.

themselves better opportunities in the jobs market. This is part of a

:07:14.:07:17.

training project run by Stride. It's not a college or a Government

:07:17.:07:21.

agency, but a community based social enterprise. At the minute

:07:21.:07:28.

I'm on my NVQ level two and it's fun. I am hoping to pass it. What

:07:29.:07:33.

skills are you getting? brickwork skills and everything

:07:33.:07:36.

that comes with it. Hopefully I want to go abroad when I've

:07:36.:07:39.

qualified out in Australia and Germany, there's more work.

:07:40.:07:42.

Stride also offers training in hairdressing and carpentry. Profits

:07:42.:07:44.

from its range of services, together with some Government

:07:44.:07:53.

support, fund up to 500 places. We've got to look to the future and

:07:53.:07:57.

these people if we train them now, they'll be good employees for the

:07:57.:08:03.

rest of the lives. It's also about giving young adults the skills and

:08:03.:08:06.

confidence to put them in the driving seat. I was signing on.I

:08:07.:08:15.

couldn't find work anywhere. It was hard to find placements. When I saw

:08:15.:08:20.

this advertising, I applied for it. So I applied here and it's really

:08:20.:08:27.

helped a lot. It's got jobs in all sorts of fields. It's really good.

:08:27.:08:30.

The project was set up 12 years ago.and with David Cameron's "big

:08:30.:08:33.

society" thinking, this model of social enterprise, may get into its

:08:33.:08:43.
:08:43.:08:43.

own stride in helping to tackle The man who died in a crash on the

:08:43.:08:46.

A46 in Leicestershire has been named as 41 year old Andrew Peel

:08:46.:08:54.

from Groby. Three vehicles were involved. Mr Peel was driving an

:08:54.:08:58.

Audi TT and died at the scene. Two other men were arrested in

:08:58.:09:00.

connection with the incident and have been released on police bail

:09:00.:09:03.

while the investigation continues. Profits at the Derbyshire based

:09:03.:09:05.

chocolate maker Thorntons have fallen sharply because of poor

:09:05.:09:10.

Christmas sales. The company's announced half-year profits, before

:09:10.:09:13.

tax, of just over �3 million. That's compared with almost �8.5

:09:13.:09:18.

million for the same time last year. Thorntons says it's going ahead

:09:18.:09:24.

with plans to close at least 120 shops.

:09:24.:09:26.

Business owners in Nottingham say new on-street parking charges

:09:26.:09:32.

introduced by the city council in November are driving customers away.

:09:32.:09:35.

Last week the council agreed to reduce the tariffs on Sundays and

:09:35.:09:40.

evenings after receiving complaints. But traders say it's just not

:09:40.:09:46.

enough. Tom Brown reports. People have been coming to this

:09:46.:09:52.

cafe in Nottingham for the last seven years. But with parking

:09:52.:09:58.

charges going up, the number of customers has been going down.

:09:58.:10:02.

People once saw it as a bonus that they could come for free and now

:10:02.:10:07.

they cannot. Also now there is a maximum stay in post of an hour

:10:07.:10:15.

which doesn't leave you much to -- much time. Last November the city

:10:15.:10:17.

council divided Nottingham into three parking zones, spread out

:10:17.:10:20.

across the city centre. It says they reflect demand, so prices vary

:10:20.:10:23.

between them, as does the amount of time you can park there for. The

:10:23.:10:26.

council also extended the existing charges into evenings and on to

:10:26.:10:29.

Sundays, and it was this that led to complaints from businesses and

:10:29.:10:32.

shoppers. They said the system was complicated and expensive. Last

:10:32.:10:35.

week the council agreed to simplify it and from April there'll be a one

:10:35.:10:38.

pound flat rate on Sundays and in the evenings. But traders are still

:10:38.:10:44.

worried. Probably they were the right changes to make but what

:10:44.:10:47.

businesses have said and turned up evenings and Sundays, the level of

:10:47.:10:51.

the charges was driving people out of the city. That is what we have

:10:51.:10:54.

heard and we have listened to it and it was the right thing to do.

:10:54.:11:01.

As a result, we have made changes. But traders are still worried. So

:11:01.:11:04.

far, more than 1,200 people have signed Jasmin's petition which

:11:04.:11:10.

calls on the council to scrap the new charges altogether. We were

:11:10.:11:13.

meant to understand this is dangerous and businesses cannot

:11:13.:11:16.

sustain losing this amount of money that some of them are. Some of them

:11:16.:11:20.

are losing more than we are and if it carries on, they are going to be

:11:20.:11:23.

seeing lots more empty shops and restaurants. What will happen to

:11:23.:11:27.

the city then? The council says the new parking system will encourage a

:11:27.:11:30.

higher turnover of shoppers and boost trade in the city. Some

:11:30.:11:36.

businesses say the opposite is happening.

:11:36.:11:39.

Nottinghamshire County Council is to press ahead with plans to shut a

:11:39.:11:42.

furniture factory staffed by people with disabilities. Sherwood

:11:42.:11:49.

Industries in Rainworth employs 40 people. The council says last year

:11:49.:11:53.

it cost more than �750,000, because orders fell. Councillors will meet

:11:53.:11:56.

next week to discuss moving the workers to other supported

:11:56.:11:59.

businesses or into mainstream employment.

:11:59.:12:05.

The Prince of Wales will be visiting Derbyshire next week.

:12:05.:12:09.

Prince Charles was last here a year ago when he was at Royal Crown

:12:09.:12:11.

Derby. This time he'll be meeting workers at the train-maker

:12:11.:12:14.

Bombardier and staff at Rolls-Royce. He'll also be touring Haddon Hall

:12:14.:12:19.

in Bakewell. The royal visit is on Friday 24th February.

:12:19.:12:24.

And now the final part of our series called Life After Loss.

:12:24.:12:27.

Tonight we look at how a ten-year- old Leicestershire girl inspired

:12:27.:12:31.

her friends and her classmates. A dance academy was set up in

:12:31.:12:35.

Bottesford following the death of Rosie May Storrie in 2003. It ran

:12:35.:12:38.

until last summer, finishing on what would have been her 18th

:12:38.:12:42.

birthday. But as Carolyn Moses reports, her legacy - and that of

:12:42.:12:52.
:12:52.:12:59.

the academy - lives on. This is Around the her being just happy.

:12:59.:13:06.

Fun, she just loved dancing -- I remember her just being happy.

:13:06.:13:10.

There was not a week when we did not go round to each other's houses.

:13:10.:13:16.

But at 10 years old, Rosie May was dead, murdered by a teenager at a

:13:16.:13:22.

Christmas party. It was really hard, I was really shocked at how she

:13:22.:13:29.

died. It was horrible for everybody involved. The year after she was

:13:29.:13:35.

murdered... Her parents set up a show Lankan orphanage in her name

:13:35.:13:39.

now home to 21 girls -- straw Lankan orphanage. There was under

:13:39.:13:43.

closer to home as well, an academy for selected dancers. To get the

:13:43.:13:51.

best of training. We wanted to give other girls the opportunity to be

:13:51.:13:55.

taught by the best in the business. And to give them a future that

:13:55.:14:01.

Rosie may have been denied. people say you can think of someone

:14:01.:14:08.

when you dance and nothing we all did. To have up West End

:14:08.:14:12.

professionals come from West End shows, it was amazing. You don't

:14:12.:14:20.

often get that opportunity. It was great to have that experience.

:14:20.:14:24.

that experience has got the girls to London and to Liverpool to

:14:24.:14:34.

pursue their dream of professional They say it was Rosie may's academy

:14:34.:14:38.

which set them on their way. Obviously I have got this far now

:14:38.:14:41.

and I never thought I would be doing a dance career. I never

:14:41.:14:51.
:14:51.:14:57.

thought I would be doing this but # In your heart, in your mind, I

:14:57.:15:02.

still feel right here. And sun. And how do they feel about this

:15:02.:15:06.

now? I am inspired to have taken something so tragic and it gave me

:15:06.:15:10.

the opportunity to do something important as well. If she was sat

:15:10.:15:15.

next to me right now, she would be very proud of us. I do feel

:15:15.:15:23.

sometimes that she does look down on us and staff and she is happy. -

:15:23.:15:29.

Still to come, the mystery of that forgotten 1950s wedding film is

:15:29.:15:35.

solved. Last night we asked, do you know who these newly-weds are?

:15:35.:15:45.
:15:45.:15:47.

Minutes after the appeal went out, When you think of the composer

:15:47.:15:50.

Elgar, I bet you think of Land Of Hope And Glory, or perhaps Nimrod

:15:50.:15:56.

from the Enigma Variations. But I bet you don't associate him with

:15:56.:15:59.

the Carillon Tower in Loughborough. It's long been known he composed

:16:00.:16:03.

music for the opening of the famous bell tower memorial in 1923. But

:16:03.:16:05.

the original score had disappeared, until now. James Roberson takes up

:16:06.:16:15.
:16:16.:16:34.

Inside the Carillon in Loughborough, the lady plays a memorial called

:16:34.:16:37.

Chimes but this is not just by any composer, this is by Sir Edward

:16:37.:16:47.
:16:47.:16:48.

The piece was composed specially for the opening of the Royal

:16:48.:16:52.

memorial tower in 1923. -- war memorial tower. Thousands turned

:16:52.:16:55.

out to hear it, and it was transcribed from which it has been

:16:56.:16:59.

played regularly ever since. Recently staff at the local council

:17:00.:17:04.

were sorting some old boxes in this strong run and came across some

:17:04.:17:09.

interesting documents. Staff here were having a bit of a sprinkling

:17:09.:17:16.

and in an old dusty box, we found the old school itself. The staff I

:17:16.:17:19.

can say were very excited when they realised it was the original Elgar

:17:19.:17:24.

score. As far as I am aware, he has to have his arm twisted to write it.

:17:24.:17:28.

He was not keen to write it. It was not an instrument he was familiar

:17:28.:17:33.

well. They also found letters in his scrawled writing and this last,

:17:33.:17:38.

carefully-typed. Algar unfortunately could not be

:17:38.:17:42.

here for the opening of the Carillon and the playing of his

:17:42.:17:46.

piece. It is the only piece of music that Elgar wrote for Carillon

:17:46.:17:53.

so it is a very, very exciting find for us. The council hopes to put

:17:53.:17:56.

the documents on display in future and also an old film of the opening

:17:56.:18:06.
:18:06.:18:06.

so that they can all be enjoyed by Sounds beautiful from the outside

:18:06.:18:11.

but when you are there with those cuboid things, it is quite clunky.

:18:11.:18:20.

-- with those keyboard things. And in sport, here we are.

:18:20.:18:22.

Last night was disappointing all round for our clubs in the

:18:22.:18:25.

Championship. Three games and three defeats for Forest, Leicester and

:18:25.:18:28.

Derby. More on the Rams in a moment but first Jeremy Nicholas takes a

:18:28.:18:38.

look at how things went wrong for Middlesbrough's two goals either

:18:38.:18:40.

side of half-time the forest second-from-bottom six points

:18:40.:18:45.

adrift of safety with just one win in the last 13 league games. When

:18:45.:18:51.

Andy Reid's free-kick was headed in by a dual Lynch, especially when

:18:51.:18:56.

Kevin Thomson came in with his second card -- sent off for his

:18:56.:19:02.

second car. Adelene Guedioura hit the bar and the effort was

:19:02.:19:06.

disallowed for a foul on the keeper. Steve Cotterill's old club

:19:06.:19:09.

Portsmouth are expected to go into administration for a second time

:19:09.:19:12.

which would see them docked 10 points putting them level on points

:19:12.:19:16.

with Forest. Nigel Pearson was not happy with

:19:16.:19:21.

the goals his Leicester side let in at Watford. A goal down inside five

:19:21.:19:25.

minutes, Leicester fought back. David Nugent's goal from the left

:19:25.:19:28.

had a touch of the Gareth Bale about it. And his second goal was

:19:28.:19:31.

even better taking the ball on the volley to give Leicester the lead.

:19:31.:19:35.

But poor defending from another free-kick let the home side back

:19:35.:19:39.

into the game. At 2-2, the next goal would win it and for a long

:19:39.:19:44.

time, it looked like Leicester would score it. They dominated but

:19:44.:19:50.

Forsyth won it for what food. And even when Doyle was sent off --

:19:50.:19:53.

Lloyd Doyley was sent off, and Leicester could not find their way

:19:53.:19:56.

back. So from those two defeats to

:19:56.:19:59.

another, I'm afraid. Derby County were playing Reading and fans were

:19:59.:20:03.

hoping to see the Rams make it five home wins in a row. It wasn't to be,

:20:03.:20:06.

though, and there certainly wasn't much in the way of entertainment on

:20:06.:20:16.

Derby had been enjoying some good home form going into this game and

:20:16.:20:22.

fans were largely expectant. Good team, those Reading people. But we

:20:22.:20:27.

can beat anybody on the day. have not been able to beat them

:20:27.:20:32.

previously but this season we are getting there. Riding a one-off the

:20:32.:20:35.

dubious clubs that we sometimes often lose to -- Reading are one of

:20:35.:20:39.

those clubs. And there was good cause for concern. After a dire

:20:39.:20:49.

The grounds then rallied but for all the effort, it never looked

like finding an equaliser. I didn't think we were going to be as poor

:21:00.:21:04.

as we were tonight. We have been difficult to beat, even the ball

:21:04.:21:07.

coming into the box for the goal. We have dealt with those bread-and-

butter things, the two centres hearts have dealt with those.

lads were disappointed at half-time, and we wanted to get out then that

:21:17.:21:20.

we could not quite pull it off but I am sure we will go on to

:21:20.:21:25.

Saturday's game and try to pick up all three points there. And the

:21:25.:21:34.

So that's all the bad news over with. In League One it was a much

better night for Notts County. They hadn't played in two weeks but

Nottingham are 9th... And there's more action at Meadow

Lane tonight. This time, rugby. Nottingham play Doncaster in a

:22:21.:22:25.

rearranged game. After all the bad weather, this will actually be

their first home game this year. There could be trouble for

Leicester Tigers player, Julian White. He's been accused of

:22:33.:22:35.

stamping on another player during Saturday's defeat at Exeter. It's

going before a disciplinary panel tonight. Some good news for Tigers

though. England players Manu Tuilagi, Toby Flood and Thomas

Thank you very much. Last night, to celebrate

:22:52.:22:55.

Valentine's Day, we showed you some old footage of a wedding which took

:22:55.:22:58.

place in the 1950s. The film had been sitting forgotten in a

:22:58.:23:01.

cupboard ever since. No-one knew who the couple seen tying the knot

:23:01.:23:06.

actually were - until our programme ended. The couple's son got in

:23:06.:23:10.

touch with us and Angelina Socci has been to meet them at their home

:23:10.:23:20.
:23:20.:23:22.

This is the footage Elaine and Bryan Pickering did not even know

:23:22.:23:27.

about. That is until they recognise themselves on East Midlands Today.

:23:27.:23:33.

I have just sat down to watch the end of the programme. And they said

:23:33.:23:39.

about lost films and does anybody know... And I looked up and I

:23:39.:23:45.

thought "that is me!" that is our wedding. This one minute video had

:23:45.:23:51.

been in the possession of our cameraman for years. My dad had an

:23:51.:23:55.

8mm camera and when he shot the film, he sent it off in the little

:23:56.:23:59.

envelope like this. It would come back from processing and put it

:23:59.:24:02.

through the projector. But this film was not ours and it had

:24:02.:24:05.

nothing to do with the family. It was put in a box along with the

:24:05.:24:10.

other home movies and not touched for about 50 years. It was a shock

:24:10.:24:14.

really of seeing it. All we have got his black-and-white photographs

lane and Brian got married at this church. They have now got four

children, five grand children and half a century later, they have

come back to the place where it all began. -- Elaine and Brian.

:24:35.:24:45.
:24:45.:24:46.

Is this the first time you have been back? I am afraid so, yes.

:24:46.:24:50.

Total we different. A pleasant surprise. So with even more

:24:50.:24:52.

memories of their big day, the happy couple are looking forward to

That was so nice. How nice to tie up all the loose

their son had contacted us. Wonderful, more of the same. If you

milder air coming in from the West giving us a slightly milder

:25:58.:26:01.

temperature for the next couple of days. But with this area of high

evening and overnight tonight. -- braking at times and we have got

be breezy with a north-westerly wind, some sunshine through the

morning but make the most of it because during the afternoon will

notice that cloud start to increase particularly towards the end of the

afternoon. Playing breezy with their high temperature of nine

and cloud as well but behind all that rain, we are expecting clearer
