Good evening and welcome. First tonight, the continuing crisis at | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
Leicester's accident and emergency unit. It's relied upon by more than | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
a million people, but has proved unreliable when it comes to waiting | :01:08. | :01:20. | |
times. Four hours is the target, and it is not being met. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Ever increasing numbers of patients, delays sending patients home and | :01:26. | :01:28. | |

with the hospital boss to air their concerns. Our health correspondent | :01:36. | :01:37. | |

brought to Leicester's accident and emergency unit. But the centre has | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
been struggling to hit target times. The national waiting time targets | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
for a need apart is is to deal with 95% of patients within four hours. | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
In Leicester the latest week's figures has shown the hospital trust | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
has managed only 84%, and 74% with major cases. That means it is one in | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
only five trusts in the country where 80% of patients are dealt | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
within four hours. Our experience is that it is OK. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
People are the priority. So they have to do something about it. | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
Hospital bosses at Leicester Royal infirmary say the unit was built for | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
100,000 patients every year, it is now seeing nearly twice that. The | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
aim is to keep waiting time stamp, but the reasons for delay is | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
conjugated. `` are contributed. We cannot cope with the level of | :02:50. | :02:54. | |

A Nottinghamshire school is one of ten being removed from the control | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
of a chain of state`funded academies in England. A new sponsor will now | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
have to be found for the Sherwood Academy in Gedling. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
The decision comes after Ofsted inspectors raised serious concerns | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
about the performance of schools run by the E`ACT trust. Quentin Rayner | :04:21. | :04:21. | |

for survival. The County Council considered closing it. Switching to | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
Academy status was an option to keep the school open. The E`ACT trust was | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
chosen to run it, and it's then director`general made his pledge. We | :04:48. | :04:51. | |

cannot see anything wrong with the school. I want my son to achieve, so | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
it is very disturbing and worrying. The new system was designed to | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
remove schools from local authorities controls. I think what | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
we are seeing is a demonstrator will failure of the policy in relation to | :05:40. | :05:46. | |

eye`catching changing light show. But the plans are now on hold | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
because of concerns that the lights could blind bats living under the | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
bridge's arches. Let's find out more from our political editor. Where are | :06:58. | :07:08. | |

towards Beeston. But plans for an equally eye`catching lighting | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
display on one of the Nottingham's oldest bridges aren't going quite as | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
smoothly. It was in the summer that we | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
reported on plans to bring Trent Bridge out of the gloom. Costing | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
?150,000 and paid for by donations, the idea was to flood the bridge | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
with lighting. Today The City Council's Deputy Leader caught up | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
with those plans and there is a problem. We have got to consider | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
bats. It may well be there is a maternity column under the bridge, | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
but we have got to wait until May at least to find out. He may not look | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
particularly cuddly, but for this bat, Trent Bridge is home from home. | :08:02. | :08:11. | |
They are often called the water bat because they hunt and feed over | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
water. The light shining directly where there entrance is, that will | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
probably cause abandonment of the roost. It is the environmental | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
