Thanks for joining us. That's all from the BBC News at

This is East Midlands Today with me Anne Davies.

Tonight ` tributes to a seven`year`old girl

Be a new hands`on approach to police recruitment. With the guns. It is

heavier than you would think it would be. An 11 mile deep jdwel ``

on a war memorial. Police have been given more time to

question two people in connection with the death

of a 7`year`old girl in the They're now both being held

on suspicion of murder. Today tributes were left outside the

property where the girl was found. Geeta what's the latest with

the investigation? Good evening. Police have bden

carrying out a postmortem examination today at this property.

As they investigate how this a younger girl died. Many herd have

lain their tributes only ten minutes ago we saw a very young famhly

arrive with that pink balloon, a mark of their respect. The

overriding question: How cotld this happen?

Trying to come to terms with the sudden death of a young girl.

Throughout the day, flowers and children's toys were

It was yesterday morning when police were called herd over

Today as more people who lived nearby learned of her death

I passed there taking my kids to school every day

and to not know that somethhng like that is going on.

My neighbour came and knockdd on the door and told me abott it.

It is quite a shock to the local community.

Nobody likes to hear of the death of a child, any child in fahrness.

This particular child is no exception.

It's quite devastating to local people.

Well, the 23`year`old woman who was arrested yesterday on suspicion

of murder has been named locally and she's thought to be

People I've spoken to said she was living for around three years

and they describe her and the young girl as very puiet,

they kept themselves to thelselves and they rarely saw them.

of assault has now been arrdsted on suspicion of murder.

Both he and the 23`year`old woman are being held in custody

Compared to yesterday, the visible police presence on this road has

been scaled down considerably. But clearly the death of this

seven`year`old girl has unsdttled the community here. An overwhelming

our report last night on the quality of care

at Leicester's hospitals prompted many of you to get in touch.

Including one woman who says she saw her mother waste away on a ward

The hospital says changes h`ve been made as a result of thd case.

Pam contacted us after our report last night on the quality of care at

Leicester 's hospitals. 22% of patients had received unaccdptable

care. It was based on figurds compiled up to last summer but

Pam's mum died in January after going in for a blockage in her

bowel. She was a teacher or the life she was a

intelligent woman and we have promised we hoped would nevdr let

this happen to her. Even with the pain relief, two weeks of solid

pain. She had a miserable end. Mum was a self caring, mobile l`dy when

she went in with a bowel obstruction and she had surgery which worked. A

cookie while but it did work but she `` it took a while. I watchdd her

waist away. Pam made a form`l complaint. She has now had `

response at omitting parts of her mother's care were not up to

scratch. `` at omitting parts `` at omitting. A spokesman for the

University Hospital of Leicdster trust said the nurse in charge of

the ward was changed as a rdsult of the car. The job of improving care

that never ends. `` the card. Her family say it is no comfort to them

and she will be sorely missdd her granddaughter gets marrhed later

this month. Police are still trying to hdentify

a body found at the scene Firefighters were called to

the Sherwood Works building The family`run hosiery factory

was destroyed in the blaze. Investigations are also unddrway

into how the fire started. A hospital chaplain from

Nottinghamshire who became the first clergyman in Britain to havd a gay

marriage, has been told a job offer Canon Jeremy Pemberton was refused a

licence to work at Kings Mill Hospital, because marrying someone

of the same sex goes against the Church's teachings. Sherwood Forest

Hospitals have told the Canon today they have withdrawn the job offer,

because he doesn't have a lhcence. Police are urging drivers not to use

their mobile phones at the wheel after a driver killed a Leicester

man soon after texting and calling. Marina Usaceva has been jailed

for six years for causing the crash, which killed

27`year`old Sukhdeep Singh Johal. She was driving on the A47

near Wisbech in Cambridgeshhre Police inquiries found she'd sent

and received texts and calls on two mobiles

in the 20 minutes before thd crash. The lady had been

on the mobile phone. Not just one mobile phone,

she had been using two mobile phones all of the journey and her tsing

mobile phones in that car h`s killed Please, please please,

it is just stupidity to use a mobile phone when you're driving

because it can lead to deaths Later in the programme,

we'll be looking at the effdcts of this truly global conflict

on one Nottinghamshire vill`ge. Passengers travelling to

East Midlands Airport are bding warned they face an 11`mile detour

on their journey because of six weeks of overnight roadworks

on a busy motorway junction. It could affect people trying to

get to early morning flights. And there'll be two full wedkends

of closures next month. Traffic from the congested @453

tries to get onto the busy Now they are building a relhef

road through the roundabout. That will cut out the need for

lots of vehicles to circle `round The road itself is going to be

coming through the centre of the roundabout and then going up towards

the A453, and the airport itself. Much of the work will be done

at night. From Monday there will be shx weeks

of overnight closures betwedn 8 00pm Closures as well in the middle

two weekend of next month. Passengers going to

East Midlands Airport will be sent The diversion will be taking

motorists down to junction 23 on the motorway and then back round

up to junction 23A. We estimate that is

about an extra 11 miles, and customers should allow `n extra

15 minutes to get to the airport. as the roundabout work,

itself costing ?6 million. The whole reason for doing the work

now that it will tie into the A 53 and the long`awaited A453 dtelling

by May next year. Mike's back with us now in the

studio and out of the high vis gear. Mike there's quite a lot

of other roadworks going on around the nottingham area this

summer as well isn't there? The powers`that`be say roadworks

will create the minimum disruption In Nottingham there's

the on`going tram work. New restrictions affecting the

University Boulevard and Quden's Later this month, on the ring road,

there'll be restrictions around the roadworks at the

Hucknall Road roundabout. Then there's the closure

of Glasshouse Street That's for work to improve

the local heating system. Mid month there'll be temporary road

closures and diversions as work gets underway on the Creative Qu`rter

buildings around Sneinton m`rket. Officers he had been involvdd in

high`profile armed sieges. On the night that I used this a male was

threatening to commit suicide. It is hands`on honesty which appe`rs to be

paying off. The difference hs huge. Last year we saw almost half of the

kids coming through ten intdrested but by the end of that saw policing

as a potential career. We h`ve gone from being something anonymous to

being something they can relate to. So how have they related to this? I

would just like to you Now, because of the letters he is

a father, a son, he is a brother and he is f`r more
