And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn. | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
An inspection into Leicestershire Police has highlighted significant | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
It came as part of an investigation into the way | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball has more. | :00:27. | :00:38. | |
figures right, that they set`up a whistle`blowers' hotline. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
But the Policing Inspectorate found that some crimes still | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
weren't being recorded. They say that's down to training and | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
some systems which need to be improved. | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
And they're especially worried that child abuse. | :00:54. | :00:54. | |
The inspectors found 16 child abuse cases that should have | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
been recorded as crimes. But the records showed only six of | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
them. How serious is that? | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
Today's report says it's a significant concern | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
and a matter of urgent importance. You can see why, if you've been | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
listening to the news about what's been happening in Rotherham. | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
Because these cases were referred by outside agencies, | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
like schools and social services. They were investigated by specialist | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
policing teams. But those teams didn't use the | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
force's main crime recording system. That means cases could fall through | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
the net. And Leicestershire Police have been | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
given three months to put that right. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
What else have they been told to improve? | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
Robbery's the priority. The inspectors say too many of those | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
offences are being written off, as "no crime". | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
They're also concerned that cautions and warnings are being used, | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
for some suspects who should have been prosecuted. | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Among them, thieves who were given penalty notices after stealing | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
goods worth more than ?100. So some concerns. | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
But the inspectors were very impressed with the way the force | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
dealt with victims of crime. And these inspections are going to | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
be taking place at forces across the country. | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
As thousands of children started school today, for one little boy | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
Alfie Greasley was born four months early ` weighing less than 2 lbs. | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
For all children, starting school is a big milestone. | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
This age four boy is cheeky and happy on his way to school | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
For his mum and dad it is a very emotional day. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
It was a shock but each day he grew stronger and stronger. | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
He was a tough little boy but it was frightening in the way his ears | :02:45. | :02:55. | |
weren't developed, his eyes still hadn't developed, he was almost | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
As every day goes by your hopes grow and here we are today. | :02:59. | :03:10. | |
It's amazing that he's come through it all and now has walked | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
How excited are you about going to school? | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
We found him not long after he had come out of hospital, | :03:18. | :03:36. | |
having been born so prematurely there were lots of worries. | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
He has just got a few words now, he is still under the speech therapist. | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
For Alfie, today is about meeting his new friends and teacher | :03:43. | :03:52. | |
For his parents it is a day they never thought they would see. | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
I do not think I will never stop being proud of him, | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
NHS workers marching to London from Jarrow in the North`East | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
reached the half`way mark today, arriving in the East Midlands. | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
They want to highlight what they claim is the creeping privatisation | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
Our political editor John Hess caught up with them. | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
This is a long march with a political message. These NHS workers | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
have been on the road for 12 days now. Feet are sore but spirits high. | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
What has been amazing about this march is the number of people | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
shading stories and lifting spirits. The Labour MP met up with them. | :04:40. | :04:49. | |
Waiting times have gone up there and people are angry about that. They | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
are trying to recapture the spirit of the original march for jobs in | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
the 1920s. This is about the future of the national health service. One | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
of the marchers was either tired NHS doctor. When you come from abroad | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
Judy lives how important it is to have access to affordable health | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
care. Elsewhere in government they have been able to release money for | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
spending in this Parliament. The principle is that the NHS will | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
always be free at the point of use. After another week on the road it is | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
London and Parliament. Property owners in Leicestershire | :05:36. | :05:44. | |
could soon be charged by the fire service if it's repeatedly | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
called`out to false alarms. The service says it's receiving false | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
calls from some places weekly. Proposals will be discussed next | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
week and could be agreed by the end of September. | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
We have seen an increase in the number of automatic fire alarms we | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
do spawn two. This is to reduce the number of false alarms. We have a | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
reduction in our funding so it is in part cost recovery. | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
Finally from me, Derbyshire steam locomotive engineer | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
Sir Nigel Gresley could be honoured with a statue in London. | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
Gresley made his name designing famous engines like the Mallard | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
Now an application's been lodged to have a bronze statue | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
of him put up on the new concourse of Kings Cross Station. | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
More from me tomorrow, but I'll leave you now with Kaye | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
It looks like things will be warming up a touch into next week. You will | :06:34. | :06:48. | |
see the low pressure pushing in from the North West. Some gusty winds | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
developing through tomorrow. Most places will stay dry. Fairly cloudy | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
and the wind is the most noticeable feature of the weather. It will be | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
drier with some clear spells throughout the night. Not | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
particularly cold, quite mild for the time of year. Tomorrow morning | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
we start dry, bright and fairly breezy. There will be some sunshine | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
around. There will be more cloud in the afternoon and showers will push | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
in towards evening. Some sunshine. Temperatures around 19 or 20 | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
Celsius. That is all from Hello! We had a touch of autumn in | :07:32. | :07:44. | |
August, now we are hoping for a bit of summer in September, both as a | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
result of former Hurricanes. It was Hurricane Bertha that brought cold | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
air a week or two ago, now we have another later in the | :07:56. | :07:56. |
