Good evening welcome to East Midlands Today with me, | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
Dominic Heale and me, Anne Davies. Tonight: | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
Why a council's letting restaurants carry out their own hygiene checks. | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
Some are self certifying because there are not enough food inspectors | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
to do the job. Also rebuildhng motor cycling, Norton welcomes hundreds of | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
new apprentices to a new ac`demy. And a young man with Down's syndrome | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
gets his first job. When he first came in he could not even tdll me | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
his name and now he is loving it. Memories of a moment of history 75 | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
years ago. carry out their own hygiene checks. | :00:56. | :01:05. | |
Welcome to Wednesday's programme. First tonight, some restaur`nts | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
and takeaways in Derby are being allowed to vouch for themselves that | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
they've made the improvements needed from a food hygiene inspecthon. | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
The city council says getting proprietors to self`certify that | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
action's been taken will ensure "better use of resources" as its | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
food inspection team copes with cutbacks. | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
Pressure on the team is such that around a fifth of inspections due | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
this year won't be carried out. Mike O'Sullivan has more. | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
A good hygiene rating from Derby's inspection team can mean able to | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
consumers. It is something H would look for when coming to somdwhere | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
new. You want to guarantee that what you are looking at eating is healthy | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
and good for you. If it was a restaurant I had not been bdfore I | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
would definitely go on the hygiene rating. It has highlighted how staff | :02:09. | :02:18. | |
cuts have hit food hygiene. Now some low`risk restaurants are behng | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
allowed to self certify. Thd city council says nearly 1300 prdmises | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
are due to be checked this xear They expect to get to 70% of them, | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
concentrating on high and mddium risk outlets. This means 280 will | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
not be checked. There are now five in the food safety team. We are | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
achieving 100% visits to those high to medium risk establishments to | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
make sure the risk to the ptblic is absolutely minimised. This | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
award`winning cafe and DeLadt would like as many inspections as possible | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
across the city to help maintain Derby's reputation for food. For any | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
in the city centre to be messed out is disappointing. Obviously we want | :03:15. | :03:27. | |
to make sure the restaurants at higher risk of contamination are | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
still being checked. A sample inspection may also be used to help | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
regulate Road beat `` no danger businesses. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
Mike O'Sullivan has more. Mike O'Sullivan is in Derby | :03:34. | :03:34. | |
for us tonight. Mike, the star ratings | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
from these food hygiene checks are pretty high profile, aren't they? | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
Yes, that's right. Proprietors are being encouraged to | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
literally put the scores on the doors. | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
In the latest round, the pub behind me was awarded 5 stars. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
But the Chinese restaurant next door got zero stars. | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
Lots of people take notice of them as we heard in my rdport. | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
But behind the scenes, the food inspection team is facing pressures | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
from cutbacks and trying to find new ways of getting the job dond. | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
What about this idea of proprietors vouching for themselves that they've | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
made improvements following a hygiene inspection ` is anywhere | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
else in the region doing th`t? Well we've spoken to Nottingham | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
city council and Leicester city council and they both say it's | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
something that they DON'T do. But Derby city is convinced that | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
this is something that can work It's only being considered | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
for premises that are considered a low risk, | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
based on the type of food sdrved up and the number of customers. | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
What's the Food Standards Agency had to say about this? | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Well, they say for very low`risk businesses, local authoritids are | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
able to use alternative ways of assessing compliance with | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
hygiene rules, for example, self`assessment questionnaires | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
completed by the business. But they say that the hygiene rating | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
itself can only be done through inspection by the local authority. | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
And if they don't think that an authority is carrying out enough | :05:04. | :05:04. | |
inspections, they'll want to know why. | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
And you have been posting comments on our Facebook page | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
about this story. Victoria says it's a seriously bad | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
idea that may put people at risk. David S commented you either | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
do this type of thing properly or you don't do it at all. | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
Joanna says. Bang, there goes my faith | :05:25. | :05:35. | |
in hygiene ratings ! Still to come this evening. | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Life support from Leicester. The woman saved by Glenfield's | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
world`famous ECMO unit after she contracted legionnaires | :05:42. | :05:55. | |
disease abroad. The Education Secretary | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
and Loughborough MP Nicky Morgan has defended pulling governlent | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
funding from a Sikh free school that was due to open in Leicester today. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
70 pupils were due to start at the new Falcons primary school. | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
But Department for Education officials were unhappy over how the | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
free school was going to be run Up to ?1 million | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
of public money has already been spent on preparing the school. | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
The issue was raised in the House of Commons this afternoon. | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
Can she give us an explanathon about why it got to this late stage to | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
pull the plug and can she dhscuss an urgent way forward? I very luch hope | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
there will be a seek a forcd school in Leicester. There is another wait | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
until applications open in October but I hope there will be. | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
of Commons this afternoon. Next tonight, the first apprentices | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
started work this week at a new academy ` aimed at rebuilding | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
the British motorcycle industry Hundreds of youngsters applhed | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
for the positions at Norton Motorcycles in Leicestershire. | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
The new intake at Norton is part of a growing tide | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
of apprentices working in all sorts of industries across the region | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
Simon Hare reports. These are two of the first | :07:14. | :07:28. | |
apprentices at the British motorcycle manufacturing ac`demy. It | :07:29. | :07:37. | |
is located directly above the Norton factory floor. The first sttdents | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
started this week. They are not already plans to get bigger. We have | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
applications from Mexico and things. We have recruited a good | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
selection of 40 youngsters but are still open to applications. I have | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
had bikes from as young as H can remember and I was not going to | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
refuse it. It is relaxed and there is no problem asking people | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
questions. Obviously the guxs down stairs are quite ready to h`ng up | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
all the time. It is all the idea of the Norton chief executive who hopes | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
the apprentices will go on to work for him or his suppliers. Wd want to | :08:26. | :08:34. | |
stay authentically British, we are currently 83% parts and we want to | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
continue that or improve it. It is all the racing history. A Norton | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
rider wins the TT race betwden the wars but since the end of the Second | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
World War, Britain has lost much of its motorcycle expertise to other | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
countries. We need to get some of these skills back. Over the last | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
eight years the number of apprentices across the region in the | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
industry has trebled, it is hoped hundreds more will come through the | :09:15. | :09:15. | |
production line here. Simon Hare reports. | :09:16. | :09:26. | |
A police report's found that a Derbyshire teenager | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
and her boyfriend shot themselves dead, after murdering an Amdrican | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
policeman.17`year`old Alex Hollinghurst emigrated to | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
the United States with her family six years ago. | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
Alex went on the run with hdr boyfriend, Brandon, when her parents | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
banned her from seeing him. In March their bodies were found | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
near a Florida car park where they'd shot a US officer who'd | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
stopped them for questioning. A Derbyshire swimming pool will be | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
closed until next year after an arson attack. | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
The fire badly damaged the plant room at | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
Ashbourne Leisure Centre in July. It was originally expected to | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
re`open in the autumn but repair work will now take longer | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
than expected. Staff are making alternativd | :10:02. | :10:02. | |
arrangements for its 100 melbers. We all remember our first d`y in the | :10:03. | :10:53. | |

working with a good group of people who will support him, look `fter him | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
and at the end of his coursd help him find good employment. Vdry | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
quickly he is getting to grhps with his first task of the day. There it | :11:39. | :11:48. | |
goes down there. Through thhs and to the wrapping. I can put on the | :11:49. | :12:00. | |
sticker. When he first came in he did not even tell me his nale and | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
now I asked how he liked dohng it and he said, love it. Soon time for | :12:04. | :12:14. | |
a well earned break. At the end of his first day, it Josh is fdeling | :12:15. | :12:23. | |
positive. It is also about feeling good about myself. If all goes well, | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
it next year, his placement could lead to a full`time job herd. It | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
looks like he was having a good day. He does. Well done, Josh. | :12:37. | :12:44. | |

Victoria Hicks reports. A happy reunion as she meets the | :13:03. | :13:16. | |
nurses who helped save her life after she contracted Lee Junior 's | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
disease while travelling in Italy. Into the second week of the holiday | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
I was feeling really lethargic, and a headache, was not sleeping well | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
and was being sick. We thought it was food poisoning. As she posed for | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
this picture she was starting to feel ill and proved positivd for me | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
Juniors disease. They never find out who she believed then the infection. | :13:47. | :13:57. | |
The consultant explained to the family the only way to leavd her | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
life was to send a mobile m`chine from here in Leicester, connector to | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
that machine and get her back to the Glenfield Hospital for further | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
treatment. If she did not gdt that further treatment it was likely she | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
would die. She spent three `nd a half weeks on this machine which | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
oxygenated her blood, giving her time to recover. Problems mdant she | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
had to have her lower legs `nd left arm amputated as well as having four | :14:34. | :14:42. | |
fingertips on her right hand. If it was not for that machine I would not | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
be here now, it is excellent that I survived. My whole family praised | :14:49. | :14:54. | |

The day war was declared. We meet Maurice, a bell ringer | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
with a very clear memory of the morning 75 years ago when Britain | :17:30. | :17:43. | |
entered the Second World War. First tonight, rugby is back. | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
Leicester Tigers are getting ready to kick off their Premiershhp | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
campaign this weekend. And joining them for the se`son is | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
a true legend of the game. 39`year`old Brad Thorn has had an | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
amazing career and now he's starting another chapter at Leicester. | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
Kirsty Edwards reports. They have seen some stars rtn out at | :18:03. | :18:19. | |
Welford Road over the years and at the age of almost 40 this Ndw | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
Zealand legend cannot wait to join them. I already have one se`son | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
behind me, that is why I am here. It is not about the money, I jtst love | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
rugby. By the time I retire I will be 40 or 50 years and I will not be | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
able to smash on a tackle. H will be done, it is finished. There is no | :18:44. | :18:54. | |
getting away from it, he is 39, turning 40 this season. If xou want | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
an easy time the premiership is not the place to come. He is not going | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
to retire on the money he e`rns here in the next nine months. His | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
achievements in the game ard incredible. The first player ever to | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
win rugby union's World Cup, eat super rugby title and most recently | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
the Heineken Cup. Despite all that, he says it is a real privildge to | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
come to Tigers. When I think of Leicester I think of the success | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
there has been, they are always in the finals. To be part of even | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
casting club, one of the best in Europe, it is the real privhlege. We | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
have got one of the greatest players in both cords, he is going to spend | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
the last nine months of his career in the Tigers environment and we are | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
going to get every bit of experience out of that, off of the field as | :19:56. | :19:58. | |

from fans for him to be sacked. Last night Stags lost 2`0 | :20:22. | :20:22. | |
down the road at Notts County. Some supporters were calling for | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
corks to go during the game last night. Mansfield lost 2`0 at Notts | :20:31. | :20:41. | |
County. Paul Cox has been in charge for over three years. Some fans are | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
unhappy with the style of football, especially when Jake Cassidx got | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
this second goal to get Notts back to the winning ways. | :20:55. | :20:58. | |

dismal season in the County Championship continues as they lost | :21:07. | :21:09. | |

world champion. 20 teams from European countries are taking part. | :22:14. | :22:21. | |
This week the Derbyshire pl`yer is playing for the French champions. I | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
am very proud of my year so far and to top it off with the Commonwealth | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
Games was an amazing week. Not quite cold wet you always want as an | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
athlete but all in all, two silvers was good. Yes, good times for | :22:40. | :22:49. | |
squash. Now, while we have been commemorating the beginning of the | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
great War we must not forget it was a mere 21 years after the end of | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
that conflict that the Second World War broke out. That happened at 11 | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
in the morning exactly 75 ydars ago today. A reporter has been to meet a | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
Leicestershire bell`ringer who remembers it as if it were | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
yesterday. 82`year`old Maurhce Halifax arrives at his local church | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
and climbs the stairs for bell`ringing practice. Judy's was a | :23:22. | :23:36. | |
practice with a difference. Exactly 75 years ago at 11am War was | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
declared. At the time, Morrhs was seven. But that Sunday he w`s | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
ringing the bells at another East Midlands church. `` Maurice. Morris | :23:52. | :24:09. | |
was at a local farm and he came in. As from 11 o'clock we are at war | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
with Germany. Els will only be wrong to signal war to the population in | :24:18. | :24:26. | |
event of invasion, we were told From that moment on the bells ceased | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
for almost the entirety of the war. It did ring once when Churchill said | :24:35. | :24:43. | |
we must celebrate Alamein. Today, Morris run up to 11 o'clock just | :24:44. | :24:53. | |
that he had done 75 years ago. Now! Very proud to be able to do it for | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
Morris being as he did it 74 years ago, to the day, the time and the | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
minute. It is worth remembering these things. It is something I will | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
never ever forget. There were lots of tears in the village that day. | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
The adult population of remdmbered the First World War. `` old | :25:19. | :25:34. | |
