This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies and me, Dominic Heale. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
Tonight ` could the authorities have prevented the death of a toddler? | :00:10. | :00:23. | |
Two`year`old Riley swallowed his mother methadone. People were not | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
sufficiently sited on the needs of this little boy. Also, store wars in | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
Leicester as independent shopkeepers take on Tesco. Plus, give me a tram | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
after midnight. Our Nottingham's new fleet is being tested in the wee | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
small hours. And the astronauts who became a big hit in cyberspace. | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
You are weightless. You get so used to flying, touching something with | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
your finger and flying across the room. Good evening and welcome to | :01:01. | :01:14. | |
the programme. An investigation into the death of a toddler has found he | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
would probably still be alive today if concerns about his care had been | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
shared correctly. Two`year`old Riley Pettipierre, from Belper in | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
Derbyshire, died after swallowing some of his mother's methadone. A | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
report that's just been published has ruled there were "significant | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
failings" by the authorities. Simon Hare reports. | :01:30. | :01:42. | |
Reilly dies after swallowing some of his mother's heroin substitute. She | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
poured it into one of his drinking beakers at his father moved it | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
within his reach. The youngster was found lifeless at the family flat in | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
Derbyshire. His parents were convicted of manslaughter and | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
jailed. But now a so`called Serious Case Review has ruled health workers | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
and the police could and should have told social workers about the family | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
circumstances. This report, whilst it identifies some good practice in | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
the work undertaken with the mother, doesn't find there were | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
serious failings. Failings in the way the focus was maintained on the | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
mother and people were not sufficiently sited on the needs of | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
the little boy. The methadone should have been stored in this box but she | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
had been selling it on to find her habit for illegal drugs. Days before | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
the death, police had been tipped off about drug dealing at the | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
property. But they were not aware a child was at the address. The | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
tragedy is on that day that Reilly died, the information around drug | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
dealing at the address would have been June four will `` for review | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
and we would have decided what enforcement activity to take. | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
Officials say action has been taken to stop something similar from | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
happening again. Today's report concludes that have social services | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
been told about the living conditions, he would still be alive | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
today. A supermarket giant has called a | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
meeting with a Leicester MP because of a row over plans to open a new | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
store in 0 of a row over plans to open a new | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
store in the City. Tesco says its new express shop will create twenty | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
jobs. But independent traders in the Clarendon Park area have told us | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
they're furious about the plans. Eleanor Garnier is there now, | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Eleanor it sounds like this is getting quite heated. | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
Yes, it is getting tense tonight, this is the local independent flower | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
shop, there is a vegetable shop, and a 0 0 | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
shop, there is a vegetable shop, and a butcher and 50 metres down the | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
road is the bank that Tesco wants to turn into a new store. But they have | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
a fight on their hands, there is a well`organised campaign group | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
determined to ruin the plans. Queens Road, Leicester with a | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
reputation for independent shops and cafes. Over the years, the national | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
chains have crept in and now Tesco wants to join the club. It has taken | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
over an old bank and says a new store will create 20 jobs. The | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
independent shops cannot take any drop in trade whatsoever. Because of | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
the 0 drop in trade whatsoever. Because of | :04:41. | :04:41. | |
the economic situation, we are hanging on by our teeth and any drop | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
in trade could see the end of us. They say they will create 20 jobs | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
but how many jobs will be lost? Chris 0 0 | :04:55. | :04:54. | |
but how many jobs will be lost? Chris employs seven staff, if the | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
shop goes, that will be seven jobs gone. I have walked up and down | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
Queens Road and every shop now has these say no to Tesco signs. There | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
were a couple 0 these say no to Tesco signs. There | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
were a couple of traders who said they are in favour of a new store. | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
Interestingly, they would not speak on camera. We go where we are wanted | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
and there is support for this store, it will bring lots of people to this | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
side of the street and this area of the road, we think it will be a | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
great addition and it will be welcomed. 2000 people have signed | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
the petition, the traders are against Tesco but I am sure people | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
have different views so I am launching a survey to get views and | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
I am putting the concerns of residents and traders directly to | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
Tesco. As word got out a news camera was in the area, campaign is | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
mobilised. This is a fight that is only going to get louder. Their rear | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
is some way to go before Tesco can bring in the builders, they have | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
secured the release and it has planning permission to be used as a | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
shop but they need consent from the City Council for a cash machine and | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
signs for the store. Local campaigners tell me if the plans go | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
through, they will boycott not only the store but all Tesco shops and | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
products. Later in the programme ` coming home ` for Christmas. Des | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
Malbon was forced out of his bungalow by this Summer's flash | :06:29. | :06:29. | |
floods. Now, he's home and dry. A woman's appeared in court charged | :06:30. | :06:41. | |
with the murder of a Derbyshire pensioner. 70`year`old Sandra | :06:42. | :06:43. | |

Bainbridge was discovered in her home on Short Row in Belper on | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
Tuesday night. Andrea Cutler, who's 37 and from Derby, appeared before | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
city magistrates accused of her murder. She's been remanded into | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
custody to appear at Nottingham Crown Court next week. | :06:53. | :07:02. | |
Dramatic footage has been released of the moment a jeweller is attacked | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
in his Leicestershire home by a robber posing as a delivery man. He | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
uses a taser stun gun on Nigel Blackburn, who falls to the ground | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
with the burglar on top of him. But Nigel's screams alert his fiancee | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
and her friend, who chase off the attacker with kitchen knives and a | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
cleaver. The robber, who's from Lancashire, has been jailed for | :07:20. | :07:20. | |
eight years. An appeal is underway to improve | :07:21. | :07:30. | |
maternity facilities for women who deliver still born babies. The | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
Leicester Baby Loss appeal aims to raise ?100,000 for a new bereavement | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
delivery suite. On average 17 babies are stillborn every day in the UK. | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
Our health correspondent Rob Sissons reports. | :07:44. | :07:55. | |
The joy of a healthy baby, Keith and his wife know about the shattered | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
dream, a stillbirth. They are returning to the counselling room | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
they set up for other grieving parents at Leicester general named | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
after their lost daughter. It took a long time for me to accept that that | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
had happened and I felt at the time that when I gave birth, the baby was | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
going to be born alive and it would be OK. It is important we try to | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
discover the reasons for this, 20 years on, the figures are the same. | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
You never get over the loss of that baby. Even 0 0 | :08:33. | :08:32. | |
You never get over the loss of that baby. Even if you have others. Last | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
year, there were 10,000 babies born at Leicester, there were over 200 | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
stillborn. The current setup for delivery is not ideal. The worst | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
thing is being in the area where you have other mothers giving birth to | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
live babies, listening to those babies being born and crying when | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
that isn't happening for 0 babies being born and crying when | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
that isn't happening for you. The plan now is to create a more private | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
space. This is the main delivery suite, the delivery rooms are down | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
there. What we aim to do is develop the room up there near the offices | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
so it is out of the way from the main delivery suite and the noise. | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
We are trying to make it the best it can be under the circumstances, you | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
never get over losing a baby, you never would. You think of that baby | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
at every stage of its life. Money from the appeal will improve | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
facilities at the Royal Infirmary. The latest batch of Army Reservists | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
have held their passing`out parade at the Prince William of Gloucester | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
barracks at Grantham in Lincolnshire today. For them, it marked the end | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
of an intensive, two week training course. But for the new Army | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
Reserve, 0 0 course. But for the new Army | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
Reserve, it's the start of a big recruitment push as the regular Army | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
faces big cuts. Here's our political editor John Hess. | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
Drilled up and ready for inspection, these reserve this completed the | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
first stage of training at the Prince William of Gloucester | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
barracks run them. Next? I have commando training. They are among | :10:20. | :10:27. | |
more reservists which the government hope and offset the Treasury squeeze | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
on military budgets. The MoD wants to expand the Army reserves to | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
30,000, a third higher to make up for cuts in the regular forces. It | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
is doable. We have looked at the Australian and Canadian models. We | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
can have a larger percentage of the army being made up of reserves. Anna | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
Soubry visits the hate queue of the reserves formerly known as the | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
Territorial Army near Nottingham. We have a good history of reserves and | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
we want to build on that and quite frankly these passing out parade, | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
which the public what the reserves are about, shoulder to shoulder with | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
serving personnel. The Shadow Defence Secretary fired this salvo. | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
Can you reduce the number of regular troops at the speed and in the | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
quantity the government are doing? And also recruit the reserves to | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
plug the gap? There are issues and that is the concern people have. The | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
regular Army is being cut by 20,000 in the next seven years, the MoD | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
hopes these reserve list and more to follow will be a bigger part of | :11:37. | :11:43. | |

futuristic`looking trams are being put through their paces in test runs | :11:46. | :11:48. | |

All aboard the futuristic looking service from the Wilkinson street | :12:14. | :12:18. | |

Lee. Ten years since the last freed of trams as ten years makes a lot of | :12:37. | :12:41. | |

trams arriving. A top speed of 43 miles an hour, enough seats for 58 | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
passengers and a few stand`up, room for 144. The new trams are a model | :13:10. | :13:15. | |

One or two people are lying down in front of the tram, they soon move | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
when we blow the hooter. When the policeman comes, they move even | :13:44. | :13:48. | |

next year. A poem written by Nottinghamshire Police to raise | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
awareness of rape and sex attacks has been criticised by a women's aid | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
charity. The force's Christmas campaign includes an adaptation of | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
the poem The Night Before Christmas. It's aimed at potential attackers. | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
But Midlands Womens Aid has called for it to be withdrawn because it | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
says the poem trivialises the long term effects of rape. A police | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
spokesman says the poem was written using accounts from victims and | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
rapists. A multi`million pound redevelopment | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
of Leicester's Haymarket Bus station IS to go ahead. The Department for | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
Transport's confirmed it will pay three and a half million pounds | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
towards the 13 million pound scheme. It'll involve a new central | :14:36. | :14:38. | |

Everyone wants to spend Christmas at home if they can, but one pensioner | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
had almost become resigned to spending it elsewhere. Along with | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
others, Des Malbon was forced out of his bungalow after flash floods | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
swept through Southwell in Nottinghamshire five months ago. | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
Since then he's been living in temporary accommodation. The good | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
news is that with days to go he's moved back in, and now has plenty to | :15:33. | :15:44. | |
celebrate. Quentin Rayner reports. In July, a trickle turned into a | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
torrent, a months worth of rain fell in 80 minutes and they could not | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
cope with the water. A group of pensioners bungalows was hit forcing | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
most to move out. But now they are returning, including wall Navy | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
veteran Des. Fantastic, there were no words for it. Wonderful. I will | :16:08. | :16:16. | |
have more friends down here. A hamper from the Rotary club. He | :16:17. | :16:23. | |

arriving. Des, you have a hamper from the Rotary club. Thank you! | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
That's wonderful. On the close, people are still worried about | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
another flood. Very very worried, in the back of my mind, it is not far | :16:41. | :16:52. | |
away now. Water came over the hedge at the top. It's taken five months | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
to dry out and repair the bungalows, too long, says Des. It is | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
disgusting. I could have been back sooner. I am not looking at myself, | :17:02. | :17:10. | |
the old folk around me. Des has turned 91 and will be dressing up as | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
Elvis at his birthday party. He has what he wanted to Christmas, being | :17:17. | :17:21. | |

It is a massive week at Leicester City, three really important games | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
in the space of seven days. The team need to stand up and be counted and | :17:58. | :18:01. | |

taken him to their heart. Out of contract in the summer, and no word | :19:01. | :19:01. | |
from 0 0 contract in the summer, and no word | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
from the board. I know I want to stay here, and the lads out of | :19:07. | :19:15. | |
contract. My heart is here, I fell in love with the club and the fans, | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
a close`knit bunch here. I am enjoying it. And no lack of | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
confidence at head of three huge fixtures. What is the best of the | :19:27. | :19:38. | |
matches? Six points would be nice. Nottingham Forest go into a home | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
game with Ipswich tomorrow in fifth spot, eight points off the top. | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
Manager 0 spot, eight points off the top. | :19:44. | :19:43. | |
Manager Billy 0 spot, eight points off the top. | :19:44. | :19:44. | |
Manager Billy Davies met with the chairman this week to discuss | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
January targets and say despite suggestions on social media of | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
problems behind the scenes he and the chairman have a great | :19:51. | :20:06. | |
relationship. One change kit created a fuss because it was a shade of | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
red. And the one they're wearing against Charlton at the weekend? | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
Well, it definitely reminds us of something. | :20:14. | :20:24. | |
You can see the link straightaway, the club have gone out of their way | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
to embrace it and have fun with it. It really doesn't matter what Derby | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
County wear, look at the record, only lost once and a Steve McClaren. | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
The only danger is overconfidence. Feet on the ground, focus and | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
concentrate. Make sure we do it on Saturday. | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
Heroes are nothing without balloons, that part is played by Charlton | :20:55. | :21:06. | |
Athletic. The FA be team had brains, Derby County have McLaren and | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
however much they have improved, Steve says the team never needed | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
international rescue. It wasn't a rescue job, we have found very good | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
players, good football players. It has been fantastic for us. As for | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
the shirt, the kids just love it. As long as they are winning, they can | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
wear what they want. The weekend, very simple, make sure six wins out | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
of six and if the Rams can achieve that, it will be Derby County, well | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
done. I brought the toys back to play with. Nottingham Forest go into | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
a home game with Ipswich tomorrow in fifth spot, eight points off the | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
top. Manager Billy Davies met with the chairman this week to discuss | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
January targets and say despite suggestions on social media of | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
problems behind the scenes he and the chairman have a great | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
relationship. I am here until 2017 whether you | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
like it or don't and I am going nowhere. They can write what they | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
like, I will ignore it in the past and at the moment and will continue | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
to focus on the job and the team and the club and give these great fans | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
are best and do what we can with what we've got available. 0 | :22:27. | :22:27. | |

weekend including Notts County's trip to Colchester and Mansfield's | :22:40. | :22:40. | |
game at Wimbledon. Rugby Leicester Tigers are in | :22:41. | :22:50. | |
Montpellier on Sunday in the Heineken Cup ` a victory would be a | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
massive step towards qualifying for the knock`out stages. Tennis and the | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
women's tennis association has announced that the Nottingham Tennis | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
Centre will host a pre`Wimbledon tournament from 2015 onwards. Great | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
news because the male equivalent was axed five years ago after 14 years | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
as a warm up tournament. And finally from me good luck to a | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
really top man. Colin Magee from Burbage in Leicestershire has given | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
up nearly 50 years to volunteering, getting thousands of young people | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
into sailing. He is our BBC East Midlands Sport Unsung hero 2013 | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
which means Colin, who is 71, is in contention to win the National | :23:21. | :23:21. | |
Unsung 0 contention to win the National | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
Unsung Hero Award at the BBC Sports Personality event this weekend. | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
I have met him, he is a great guy, and of course hope he scoops the | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
title! Leicester played host to a visitor | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
today who became famous floating around many miles above planet | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
Earth. Yes, retired NASA astronaut Chris Hadfield was at the University | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
of Leicester visiting the Space Research Centre. He became an | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
internet sensation earlier this year with his series of videos about life | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
on the International Space Station. Our reporter Navtej Johal went to | :23:52. | :24:05. | |
meet him. Chris Hadfield here. One small video for him, one giant | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
internet sensation for mankind. Chris was the first Canadian to walk | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
in space and has orbited the planet 2500 times but these videos helped | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
him become a social media phenomenon. He was at the space | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
research Centre where he held a Q and A with some lucky students. It | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
was a nice interaction, to see their studies and the areas they are | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
becoming expert in and to increase my own understanding through their | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
eyes. Until I was 12, I wanted to be an astronaut. Incredible. I am | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
presenting in front of one of my biggest heroes. The most unusual | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
thing on a space station is adapting to the fact you are weightless. You | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
get so used to flying to touching something with your finger and | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
flying across the room and moving effortlessly, you are adapted to | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
having a superpower. What advice do you have two young and old to | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
achieve becoming an astronaut? Physical fitness, you have to be in | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
shape, and advanced technical education and we need people who | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
have proven ability to learn complicated things as | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
decision`making, proven ability to make decisions and stick with them, | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
especially when the consequences matter. Wise words from a man who | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
once said he wasn't destined to become an astronaut, he turned | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
himself into one. What a bloke. I would love to fly. | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
Christmas jumper day`to`day. It is cold in the studio. Mine is at the | :25:53. | :26:01. | |
ready. We had a damp end to the afternoon and the weekend by | :26:02. | :26:06. | |

Saturday, lots of sunshine to be had throughout the morning, it will stay | :27:06. | :27:10. | |

the west and then the rain will eventually arrive to end the | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
afternoon. A breezy day with highs of 10 degrees. The rain pushes | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
slowly through Saturday night but clearing away and we should be | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
