:00:52.:00:55.

Good evening and welcome to Monday's programme. First tonight - dramatic

:00:55.:00:57.

pictures from a Leicestershire village left partly underwater by a

:00:57.:01:00.

major water leak. Some homes have been badly flooded. It's a major

:01:00.:01:03.

burst but Severn Trent still don't know why it's happened, and they're

:01:03.:01:06.

still trying to deal with it. We're live now in the village of

:01:06.:01:16.
:01:16.:01:30.

Queniborough with our reporter, Jo Healey.

:01:30.:01:34.

It is all the way down there in the village and it lifted the road down

:01:34.:01:38.

there. Seven Trent water still don't know why it happened that the people

:01:38.:01:43.

here realised that something was wrong when their water supply

:01:43.:01:46.

stopped so there was no water coming out of their taps. The next thing

:01:46.:01:51.

they knew, the water was running down their streets. This is what

:01:51.:01:54.

some of them told me about what had happened when we arrived at the

:01:54.:02:04.
:02:04.:02:06.

scene just half an hour of ago. Upsetting, yes. I am thinking of all

:02:06.:02:09.

the mess afterwards but fortunately, it has not gone in the house.

:02:10.:02:17.

is trapped as well in the middle of the road, it is parked in a bush.

:02:17.:02:23.

is trapped in the water? Yes. got the dishwasher in the Garrard,

:02:23.:02:27.

that is propped up. The water is going into the garage with the

:02:27.:02:34.

electrics? Yes. A bit worrying. The poor people go in the village, they

:02:34.:02:41.

have had it bad. With me now is Philip who has overseen a lot of the

:02:41.:02:44.

operations from Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service. Some people have

:02:44.:02:50.

had water flooding into their house right down the road. Yes, our

:02:50.:02:55.

initial call was just behind us, and the owner was concerned that he was

:02:55.:03:05.
:03:05.:03:06.

not going to be at actually a scrape -- escape. We made sure they were

:03:06.:03:09.

OK, we have stop people entering the water because people have tried to

:03:10.:03:14.

walk through the middle of it. distressing for these people has it

:03:14.:03:18.

been? It is quite traumatic when their homes are affected. We will

:03:18.:03:21.

try to liaise with them in clear water from their properties as much

:03:21.:03:28.

as we can. Things are finally getting under control? Yes, we have

:03:28.:03:31.

isolated the main, the water is receding and we will try to pump

:03:31.:03:35.

some of it away. Thank you, I am sure there will be more on this with

:03:35.:03:38.

the late news but seven Trent have told us that they have sent a team

:03:38.:03:42.

of engineers as soon as people started ringing them. And tonight,

:03:42.:03:50.

they have apologised to everybody here for what happened. Just as the

:03:50.:03:59.

sun comes out, all of that and we get a flood.

:03:59.:04:01.

Next tonight, people under financial pressure are being offered emergency

:04:01.:04:04.

loans to help keep them away from payday and doorstep lenders with

:04:04.:04:07.

sky-high interest rates. The city council in Nottingham is backing

:04:07.:04:10.

�200,000 worth of loans being handed out by a credit union. It comes

:04:10.:04:13.

after some official figures identify the city as the poorest in the UK,

:04:13.:04:23.
:04:23.:04:24.

when it comes to disposable income. Andy and his wife Shirley have been

:04:24.:04:27.

almost overwhelmed by debt. Now they're getting help from Nottingham

:04:27.:04:32.

Credit Union. Andy's on disability benefits. We are trying to survive,

:04:32.:04:40.

to live. And keep our heads above water. But it does drag you write

:04:40.:04:44.

down, you get down so deep, with so much debt, it's untrue.

:04:45.:04:47.

The city council has teamed up with Nottingham Credit Union to

:04:47.:04:53.

underwrite �200,000 worth of loans. People can apply for up to �500 in

:04:53.:05:03.
:05:03.:05:06.

what's called the Emergency Hardship loan fund. The APR will be 26.8%,

:05:06.:05:12.

below the 1500-4000% charged by some lenders. We are trying to get people

:05:12.:05:16.

away from the extortionate interest rates by doorstep lenders and payday

:05:16.:05:24.

loan companies. Also we have got schemes in place to take away the

:05:24.:05:29.

fear of when the universal credit components come in. It comes as

:05:29.:05:32.

recent official figures say Nottingham is the poorest city in

:05:32.:05:38.

the UK based on the standard for measuring a place's well, called

:05:38.:05:41.

Gross disposable household income. It does not include tax, energy

:05:41.:05:49.

costs and mortgage interest payments but does include benefits. These are

:05:50.:05:54.

the five poorest areas including Leicester and Nottingham at the

:05:54.:05:58.

bottom. The UK average for disposable income per head is around

:05:58.:06:03.

�16,000. That is above the regional average in the East Midlands. Derby

:06:03.:06:07.

does the best out of our cities will stop but in Leicester, that figure.

:06:07.:06:13.

Less than �12,000. Leaving Nottingham with the lowest

:06:13.:06:16.

disposable income per head of anywhere in the UK. This senior

:06:16.:06:18.

Nottingham councillor told me alternative measures of income put

:06:18.:06:26.

the city ahead of others in UK. Nobody likes to be talked down and

:06:26.:06:30.

we are having to compete with other cities, like London, to attract

:06:30.:06:33.

trade and investment so we would hardly go along with something that

:06:33.:06:39.

wanted to portray us with a poor light. If people try to talk down

:06:39.:06:42.

Nottingham, we will stand up for it. Whatever the arguments, the council

:06:42.:06:45.

admits help is needed for those vulnerable to debt. The council got

:06:45.:06:47.

a Government grant for the emergency loans. And depending on demand it

:06:48.:06:55.

could be repeated next year. According to the ONS, Leicester is

:06:55.:06:58.

the fourth poorest in the UK with regard to disposable income so a

:06:58.:07:01.

little earlier this afternoon I spoke to councillor Rory Palmer,

:07:01.:07:03.

deputy mayor at Leicester City Council, who explained why he

:07:03.:07:13.
:07:13.:07:16.

thought the city was so near the bottom of the table. I am always

:07:16.:07:22.

cautious when we look at statistics like this. But that said, they

:07:22.:07:25.

clearly reflect the economic challenges we face. Leicester for

:07:25.:07:29.

many years has been in need of new investment to create well-paid jobs

:07:29.:07:33.

and we are determined to do that. We are faced with real structural

:07:33.:07:37.

challenges in the city but we are doing what we can to address those.

:07:37.:07:42.

That is the story that comes out of this data today. What specifically

:07:42.:07:48.

are you doing to deal with that? are trying to attract good,

:07:48.:07:53.

well-paid jobs to Leicester to make sure that people can earn a decent

:07:53.:07:57.

living in employment in the city so we have set our economic action plan

:07:57.:08:01.

which is about attracting thousands of new jobs to the city over the

:08:01.:08:04.

coming years. I am really concerned about what is happening to household

:08:04.:08:09.

incomes at the moment because of the Government's government and welfare

:08:10.:08:13.

changes. There are deeper social factors, which ever way you look at

:08:13.:08:20.

it, that make it say that Leicester is very poor, are those things

:08:20.:08:25.

beyond your control? Not entirely. We have a responsibility to set a

:08:25.:08:30.

long-term vision for the city to tackle those trends but we must also

:08:30.:08:34.

respond here and now one that is why we have implemented the living wage

:08:34.:08:42.

at the council to lift the pay of 1100 people of our lowest earners.

:08:42.:08:47.

Time has caught up with us, but thank you for speaking to us.

:08:47.:08:49.

Later in the programme we'll be asking, anyone for tennis?

:08:49.:08:53.

And the good news is we've certainly got the weather for it.

:08:53.:08:58.

We certainly have, it is looking suspiciously like summer. Lovely,

:08:58.:09:02.

warm sunshine again today, it couldn't possibly last all week,

:09:02.:09:12.
:09:12.:09:13.

could it? Join me for the answers later on in the programme.

:09:13.:09:16.

There's new evidence tonight of the delays facing patients in our

:09:16.:09:18.

pressurised accident and emergency departments. We've analysed the

:09:18.:09:21.

latest figures and they reveal that across the East Midlands, hospitals

:09:21.:09:23.

have consistently failed to hit targets for treating, discharging or

:09:23.:09:26.

admitting patients within four hours of their arrival. Over the past

:09:26.:09:29.

couple of months, thousands of people have had to wait longer than

:09:29.:09:32.

that. Our health correspondent Rob Sissons is here. What targets are we

:09:32.:09:42.
:09:42.:09:44.

talking about? Over the past ten years, 4 million more people per

:09:44.:09:49.

year have been visiting A&E and with that, it has become harder to treat

:09:49.:09:56.

people within the target time and if you look at the main target, 95% of

:09:56.:10:00.

patients should be seen within four hours and that clock starts ticking

:10:00.:10:04.

from the minute you are booked in. Scene, treated, discharged, sent

:10:04.:10:10.

home or admitted to a ward. What we are finding is more and more

:10:10.:10:15.

hospitals are struggling. And have our trust's been doing? It is a

:10:15.:10:19.

mixed picture but it is fair to say that many are struggling to meet the

:10:19.:10:23.

targets, particularly in our big cities. If we take a look at the

:10:23.:10:27.

picture across the region, you will see there is variation that

:10:28.:10:31.

Leicester, Nottingham, Derby over the past eight weeks, this was their

:10:31.:10:37.

lowest performance in one single week. Leicester, 82% treated in that

:10:37.:10:41.

target of four hours. The percentage differences might not seem much but

:10:41.:10:45.

when you translate it into the number of patients you can see

:10:45.:10:51.

there, over 8700 patients had to wait more than four hours in A&E

:10:51.:10:56.

units over the past couple of months. That's lots of people

:10:56.:11:05.

hanging around. I guess there are huge numbers of political pressures

:11:05.:11:10.

on them. Jeremy Hunt blends the GP contract from the previous

:11:10.:11:15.

government but others have suggested it is a finance and staffing issue.

:11:15.:11:20.

We will see this debate rumble on through the summer. What have the

:11:20.:11:25.

trusts in this region have to say about it? They admitted is not good

:11:25.:11:28.

enough in many cases and this month has been better than the last month

:11:28.:11:33.

so far that in Leicester, they are looking at big emergency units,

:11:33.:11:36.

hoping to expand capacity in Nottingham as well and they have

:11:36.:11:41.

told us they are investing lots more money in consultants. In Leicester,

:11:41.:11:44.

they say they will do a lot more assessment from the minute you get

:11:44.:11:50.

into the Department to try to speed up that whole process. A lot of work

:11:50.:11:55.

going on but the pressure on A&E seems to go on and on. Thank you

:11:55.:12:03.

very much. Police in Derbyshire have named three-man killed in a

:12:03.:12:07.

motorcycle crash at the weekend. The accident involving two bikes

:12:07.:12:09.

happened near Wingerworth on Saturday night. 49-year-old Andrew

:12:09.:12:12.

Siddall and his passenger Robert Newton, who was 45, were both from

:12:12.:12:14.

North Derbyshire. 46-year-old David Wilson, from Sheffield, also died in

:12:14.:12:24.
:12:24.:12:25.

the collision. A school in Derby opened as an

:12:25.:12:28.

academy for the first time today, despite opposition to the change

:12:28.:12:30.

from teachers and the local authority. Sinfin Community School

:12:30.:12:34.

is now the City of Derby Academy. Strikes had been held in protest at

:12:34.:12:36.

the plans. The Government approved the change earlier this year. It

:12:36.:12:40.

took over the running of the school in 2012 following a failed Ofsted

:12:40.:12:46.

inspection. One of the East Midlands European

:12:46.:12:49.

MPs has announced he's stepping down at the next election. Derek Clark,

:12:49.:12:52.

who represents UKIP, says he won't be seeking re-election next June

:12:52.:12:55.

after ten years in the role. The former teacher, who's 79, says it's

:12:55.:13:03.

the right time to make way for new candidates.

:13:03.:13:06.

Conservationists in Derbyshire say they want to raise money for a

:13:06.:13:09.

vaccination programme to try to stop a possible cull of badgers. Marksmen

:13:09.:13:11.

in Somerset and Gloucestershire have begun shooting badgers in the hope

:13:11.:13:14.

of preventing the spread of TB in cows in those counties.

:13:14.:13:17.

If that works, the cull would be extended. But the Derbyshire

:13:17.:13:20.

Wildlife Trust says it wants to raise cash to try vaccinations

:13:20.:13:30.
:13:30.:13:30.

instead. Scanning the Derbyshire countryside

:13:30.:13:34.

for possible badger habitats. One of the new Derbyshire Wildlife Trust

:13:34.:13:36.

conservation manager's prime concerns is the future of the

:13:37.:13:45.

animals in the county. A new cull has started in the West Country to

:13:45.:13:53.

see if that stops the spread of tuberculosis from badgers to cattle.

:13:53.:13:56.

But the trust wants to raise 50,000 pounds over five years so badgers

:13:56.:13:59.

can be trapped vaccinated and released - rather than being shot if

:13:59.:14:02.

TB reaches Derbyshire. That interests are already involved in

:14:02.:14:05.

vaccinating programmes and we believe this is able way to go and

:14:05.:14:08.

it is good for farmers. But the National Farmers Union is

:14:08.:14:13.

not sure vaccinations will work on their own. We are not discounting

:14:13.:14:17.

vaccination programmes totally, it will just be part of an overall

:14:17.:14:21.

strategy and culling still have to be part of that still.

:14:21.:14:24.

The Wildlife Trust says farmers need tighter anti badger security, to

:14:24.:14:30.

keep them out of farm buildings where they mix with cattle. The

:14:30.:14:33.

trust says the Welsh Governent has already gone for vaccination over

:14:33.:14:40.

culling. They have vaccinated over 1500 badgers as well as speaking and

:14:40.:14:44.

implementing with farmers by a security measures where farmers take

:14:44.:14:49.

effective action to minimise badgers visiting farms. It has been trialled

:14:49.:14:58.

but the great concern is costs, and it involves trapping and injecting

:14:59.:15:03.

each badger and that has to be done manually. It does nothing to cure

:15:03.:15:06.

the infected badgers, so they are still out there spreading disease.

:15:06.:15:10.

The union says they don't know if there will be a coal in Derbyshire

:15:10.:15:18.

that the trust fears the county could be next. We have 20% of the

:15:18.:15:22.

particular species of budget so we have everything we need to do to

:15:22.:15:26.

protect these badgers and solve the problem which is a serious problem

:15:26.:15:30.

for farmers but there is an issue that on the current cull proposed by

:15:30.:15:33.

the Government, we could see local and regional extinction of the

:15:33.:15:39.

badger which is a national wildlife icon.

:15:39.:15:42.

Museum staff say a collection of valuable goods is still missing, a

:15:42.:15:45.

year after the items were stolen. Watches, coins and medals worth more

:15:45.:15:48.

than �50,000 were taken from Derby Museum over a six-week period last

:15:48.:15:51.

May. Staff say they need them back as they're part of the city's

:15:52.:15:54.

history. A 28-year-old man has appeared in court to deny handling

:15:54.:16:00.

stolen goods. Leicestershire's police commissioner

:16:00.:16:03.

says he wants new youth commissioners, to help him fight

:16:03.:16:06.

crime. Sir Clive Loader says he plans to involve 14 to 25-year-olds

:16:06.:16:08.

in the policing process. He'll survey around 2,000 young people

:16:08.:16:12.

between July and October, to look at ways of tackling issues such as drug

:16:12.:16:15.

crime and reoffending. It'll be the first area in the country to try the

:16:15.:16:24.

idea. As a selling point, it's pretty

:16:24.:16:27.

unusual - a new home powered by converted waste. The idea is that 50

:16:28.:16:29.

such houses will form Leicestershire's first eco-village

:16:29.:16:39.
:16:39.:16:47.

at Kirby Bellars, and the plans have anaerobic digester. The concept was

:16:47.:16:51.

to design is totally self-sufficient village. The architect has been

:16:51.:16:55.

working on the plans for the past year. They were submitted last week.

:16:55.:16:59.

How much would one of these houses cost? At the moment, we have not the

:17:00.:17:04.

bell at the scheme that far, this is an outlying funding application. It

:17:04.:17:08.

may cost more than a normal house slightly but the sustainable

:17:08.:17:12.

measures that are part of that house mean that it will be a lot cheaper

:17:12.:17:16.

to run and people will see the benefits in the long run. The idea

:17:16.:17:23.

is that the waste from the 50 homes will feed into a reed bed and then

:17:23.:17:29.

onto and an aerobic digester. Each of them here provides 4500 homes

:17:29.:17:32.

with electricity. Green waste is fed into the system which then gets

:17:32.:17:38.

digestive. The plant but you can see behind me is what we call a concrete

:17:38.:17:41.

cow, affectionately. We add some maize into the process and what

:17:41.:17:49.

would now and naturally happen in a cow, allows heat and electricity to

:17:49.:17:55.

be produced. Green waste goes into this and is turned into electricity.

:17:55.:18:02.

But just like a cow, what goes in, must come out. This plant is four

:18:02.:18:07.

times the size of the one proposed on the outskirts of Melton Mowbray.

:18:07.:18:10.

If the planning application is successful, the homes will be built

:18:10.:18:15.

on this field. It remains to be seen what the villagers of Kirby Bellars

:18:16.:18:21.

think about it but we will find out when the application goes to public

:18:21.:18:30.

consultation in the next few weeks. Clever stuff. Nothing goes to waste.

:18:30.:18:39.

The sound of summer now with sport. Starting with a row at Mansfield

:18:39.:18:45.

Town tonight. The club says it will be contesting demands from two

:18:45.:18:48.

former directors who want hundreds of thousands of pounds they loaned

:18:48.:18:51.

to the club back. Mansfield say their promotion back to the football

:18:51.:18:53.

league was followed by lawyers letters from Steven Hymas and Andrew

:18:53.:18:56.

Saunders demanding the repayment of their loans - which are thought to

:18:56.:18:59.

total over a million pounds. The row spilled onto social networking sites

:18:59.:19:02.

over the weekend - with Mansfield Chief Executive Carolyn Still saying

:19:02.:19:05.

the pair were trying to "destroy" the club while Steven Hymas replied

:19:05.:19:08.

that they had been "shafted" in the past.

:19:08.:19:11.

Staying with football but matters on the field and Derby County captain

:19:11.:19:13.

Richard Keogh scored his first international goal this weekend in

:19:13.:19:19.

his first start for the Republic of Ireland. He wasn't the only local

:19:19.:19:23.

boy in the goals as Ireland ran out comfortable 4-0 winners in their

:19:23.:19:25.

friendly over Georgia. Keogh headed in the opening goal three minutes

:19:25.:19:28.

before half-time, and he was followed onto the scoresheet by

:19:28.:19:31.

Forest's Simon Cox. Both men making the most of Georgia being down to

:19:31.:19:35.

ten men. Not to be outdone, Derby's Conor Sammon set-up Robbie Keane for

:19:35.:19:37.

Ireland's third, before another Ram, Jeff Hendrick, provided the assist

:19:37.:19:47.
:19:47.:19:50.

for Keane's second in an emphatic win. Also proving that Forest and

:19:50.:20:00.

Derby can work together! You will be able to watch Andy Murray's other

:20:00.:20:03.

Jamie, a former Wimbledon doubles champion and says he will be on

:20:03.:20:10.

court in Wednesday. What a gorgeous day, blue sky,

:20:10.:20:15.

sunshine, perfect for a warmup to Wimbledon. The Aegon Trophy and

:20:15.:20:18.

challenge events are being played over the next couple of weeks in

:20:18.:20:23.

Nottingham so they are the first grasscourt competitions of the

:20:23.:20:30.

year. It has got a great history of the tournament and wonderful

big operation making sure everything is just right with plenty of rackets

to prepare, that's for sure. this tournament this week and next,

we are looking at around 500 rackets. You do them for Wimbledon

as well, is that lots of pressure? It certainly can be. They need to be

perfect. And if you fancy catching the action in Nottingham, entry is

completely free. This is how the top talent travel around this place.

:21:39.:21:42.

Those tired muscles need saving. They come in useful for us

hard-working reporters as well. Take me back to my car, my feet are

killing me! I am not to kill elusive prize in

those shoes! On cricket and the England captain Alastair Cook says

:21:58.:22:01.

there will be an injury update on Nottinghamshire bowler Stuart Broad

:22:01.:22:05.

at some point today. But we are still waiting. It's hoped he will be

:22:05.:22:07.

fit for Wednesday's one day international at Trent Bridge,

:22:07.:22:10.

though reports suggest he could be doubtful for that and the weekend

Champions Trophy opener against Australia. In the County

Championship there was huge frustration for Nottinghamshire.

They'd put themselves in a match winning position against Sussex at

you would think! An 11-year-old girl is being helped

11-year-old Jordan has a plan. A vision of a new garden, and a

tribute to her dad. Daniel Shirley was killed whilst serving in

Afghanistan in 2008. Now his daughter has designed a memorial for

their back garden. And the charity Forces Support is helping her build

it. There will be blue slate down here for the regiment my dad was in.

:23:45.:23:49.

And then on here, it's going to be white slabs with a corner chair,

:23:50.:23:55.

it's going to be in grave, " love you to the moon and back" from the

:23:55.:24:02.

book that he used to read to us when we were little. A small memorial

lies in the other corner of the garden but Jordan wants somewhere

:24:06.:24:11.

she can sit and remember her dad who died five years ago this month.

:24:11.:24:15.

Forces Support took on the project and it says it wants to make sure

:24:25.:24:28.

that soldiers families are never gardening weather. Let's hope it's

:24:28.:24:35.

going to continue? But we have to go back to the huge water main burst in

:24:35.:24:41.

Queniborough. Our reporter is in the village. Before the weather and we

:24:41.:24:46.

finish the programme, what is the latest in Queniborough? I am at this

:24:46.:24:50.

family home which is one of the worst affected in the village. If

:24:50.:24:53.

you take a look through there, the gardeners flooded with water, they

:24:53.:24:59.

have used makeshift rugs and bags to keep the water out of the house but

:24:59.:25:07.

unfortunately it flooded in. Tell me what happened, please. The kids were

:25:07.:25:10.

playing in the garden and they said there was water coming round the

:25:10.:25:14.

corner and so we shot out here, I did not really believe them what

:25:14.:25:20.

they were saying. It was just gushing down, wasn't it? I could

:25:20.:25:25.

tell it was heading into the garden by that point. How distressing has

:25:25.:25:29.

this been? The whole family are having to move out, we have spent

:25:29.:25:34.

years renovating it to a really nice condition and it is very upsetting

:25:34.:25:39.

and we can't believe it, really. Thank you very much for talking to

:25:39.:25:44.

us tonight. We will hear more from the water company to find out what

:25:44.:25:49.

exactly has been going on here in Queniborough. So let's have the

:25:49.:25:58.

of good weather that it looks like we will get a good innings this

:25:58.:26:04.

time. The high pressure has been building all weekend and it keeps a

:26:04.:26:07.

settled and dry and sunny and keep the rain away and it looks like this

:26:07.:26:11.

one is going to be standing strong for the next few days so more of the

:26:11.:26:16.

same to come tomorrow. Staying dry and sunny all day long and it looks

:26:16.:26:20.

warmer as well. Temperatures creeping into the 20s. This is the

:26:20.:26:25.

satellite picture today, a beautiful start, with clear, sunny skies. A

:26:25.:26:29.

bit of fair weather cloud bubbling up that that is on its way out so we

:26:29.:26:35.

are fading away into a beautiful end to the day. Staying dry and clear

:26:35.:26:38.

overnight. Some mist and fog may form tomorrow morning and it will

:26:38.:26:42.

turn the heat as well, these are the temperatures in the towns. Perhaps

:26:42.:26:49.

down to around five or six degrees in rural spots. A beautiful start

:26:49.:26:52.

once again tomorrow, loads of sunshine around and very little to

:26:52.:26:57.

spoil that into the afternoon. Much drier air with a few cloud bubbling

:26:57.:27:01.

up, clear, blue skies for much of the day. In the sunshine feeling

:27:01.:27:06.

warm, 20 Celsius our top temperature but a north-easterly breeze will

:27:06.:27:10.

develop. It looks like it will pick up into Wednesday and just ate a few

:27:10.:27:14.

subtle changes on Wednesday, bringing in a bit more cloud of a

:27:14.:27:20.

few spots of rain on Wednesday particularly across eastern areas,
