And now the news for the East Midlands. | :00:00. | :00:22. | |
Five robbers who funded a lavish lifestyle by blowing`up | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
dozens of cash machines have been jailed for a total of 82 years. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Nine of their attacks last year were at banks and supermarkets | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
Today a judge said the gang posed a significant risk to the public. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, has more. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
The gang attacked this bank back in June last year. | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
They were causing explosions, explosions that could have killed | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
This is how the cash machines were blown apart. | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
There were dozens of explosions across the region. | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
The gang escaped with hundreds of thousands of pounds. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Highly organised, highly dangerous, there was debris covering | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
a wide area that could have hurt or injured people. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
They were relentless in what they wanted to achieve, | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
which was the money from those machines to fund their lifestyles. | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
Mary was asleep here in Birstall, when when her local bank was hit. | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
I heard the loud bang, like a bomb going off. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
I heard an explosion that I thought was an earthquake, and then I looked | :01:22. | :01:31. | |
out the window, and I saw some people at the bank, and I thought, | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
The cash machine here in Mountsorrel was blown up twice within three | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
Today, five men from Merseyside and Coventry were jailed | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
for conspiracy to commit burglaries and cause explosions. | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
They've received sentences ranging from 13 to 18 years in prison. | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
We have worked tirelessly to bring these people to justice. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
We were very conscious that we had to arrest them, because of the | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
danger to the public, and when we did so, these offenses had ceased. | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
The British Banker's Association says that these attacks put | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
the entire industry under extreme pressure, with frightened staff | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
Tonight, the men responsible are paying with their liberty. | :02:18. | :02:29. | |
A Leicester firm has announced hundreds of job losses | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
at its headquarters and sites across the UK. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
The Mark Group is blaming the government for a sharp drop | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
in demand for its insulation products from homeowners. | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
It was a government scheme designed to help | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
with the cost of making homes as energy efficient as possible. | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
But it's proved to be controversial from the start. | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
Here at Clifton in Nottingham thousands | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
of properties were supposed to benefit from solid wall insulation. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
But the project stalled when the government changed it's | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
But now this Leicester energy saving installation firm says changes to | :03:01. | :03:11. | |
the government grant scheme have led to a massive slump in business. | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
The Mark Group is now making a quarter | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
We don't know exactly what the impact will be. | :03:18. | :03:26. | |
We are doing everything we can to minimise that number, of course. | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
The change was designed to cut customer's green levy, but it's led | :03:34. | :03:42. | |
to calls for a major overhaul of the energy efficiency policy. | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
We constantly call for stability in the policy framework, and today, | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
those calls appear to be vindicated, with a very real human consequence. | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
The government says it has created a pipeline of up to ?120 million | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
worth of work, which will be carried out in the coming months, | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
and it says over one million homes will benefit from the project. | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
However, the Mark Group says that this is a sad day for their company, | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
as consultation starts on shedding hundreds of jobs. | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
Derby's trainmaker Bombardier has confirmed it's lost out | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
It had bid for a ?210 million deal to build | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
But the work's gone to German company Siemens. | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
Three years ago Bombardier shed fourtee staff after losing a one | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
and ?1.5 billion contract ` also to Siemens. | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
A health watchdog has criticised the way some elderly patients are | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
discharged from hospitals in Derbyshire. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Healthwatch Derbyshire spoke to staff and residents | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
They reported cases of medication notes | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
and personal belongings being lost, and in some cases elderly patients | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
Our correspondent, Rob, has more on this. | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
Rob, it's a real snapshot of how things can go wrong, isn't it? | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
Some of the things uncovered in visiting ten care homes in gathering | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
evidence, the case of a patient sent home in nothing more than a blanket. | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
In another case, a patient was in a diabetic coma when they arrived back | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
at a care home because not enough had been done in the discharge | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
Sometimes, incorrect medication was given to patients. | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
Other problems included personal items sometimes being lost, | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
and there was also concern in some cases patients were more ill | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
after a hospital stay then when they went in. | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
HealthWatch say significant issues that need sorting out. | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
We've been hearing about these issues | :05:49. | :05:49. | |
Now we've got evidence from professionals | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
in care homes that there's a problem, so we feel we have enough | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
evidence for the Acute Trust that they do need to tackle this issue. | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
And, Rob, what have hospitals and social services said in response? | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
Well, they say that they're working to improve things. | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
The challenge of hospital discharges is | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
well`known, and that communication in some cases needs to improve. | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
And some results for you in tonight's sport. | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
Nottingham kicked off their Championship rugby season | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
at Meadow Lane earlier with a win of 19`10 over Bedford. | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
And in the ice hockey, Nottingham Panthers lost 6`2 tonight to Lukko. | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
I'm back with your updates across the weekend, but let's check out | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
Well a few have outdoor plans for the weekend, it does not look too | :06:34. | :06:47. | |
bad. There will be a lot of dry weather around, and even some | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
sunshine, because the cloud has been fairly standard recently. A cloudy | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
evening and night that we have. It will break at times to get a few | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
clear intervals, but mostly we are left with mist and fog forming in | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
places. It should be dry, though, and not a cold night. 15 Celsius. | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
Where we have the mist and fog first thing, that will quickly cleared | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
away. We will be left with a cloudy morning, and outbreaks are patchy | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
rain particularly across the Midlands. It continues this way | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
through the afternoon, but it looks like a good deal more dry weather in | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
the afternoon, and hopefully that club rating to give s'mores sunny | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
spells, and in that sunshine, Tebbutt as of 19 Celsius. | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
The national forecast is next, but I'll leave you with a look | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
Hello. I am sure you cannot wait to find out what the weekend wet ler be | :07:33. | :07:47. | |
like. I have to say -- weather will be like. I have to say it is looking | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
good for most of us. Some of us may have to use our umbrellas, but | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
hopefully for a short moment. This is the satellite today. You will | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
notice this cloud, this is a weather forecast we have said for the past | :08:05. | :08:05. |
