It's emerged that people living tonight. Newsnight is

It's emerged that people living near Nottingham's tram works were

offered six weeks' accommod`tion in a hotel because the noisd

at night was so bad. People in 120 properties

near the tramline extension in Beeston were made the offer.

And twenty six of them accepted The work's due to go on

until early next year. The local MP is unhappy

and thinks a better compens`tion package should be available.

Well earlier, I spoke to MP Anna Soubry and asked her for her view of

the situation facing her constituents in Beeston.

Has been over 18 months that they have been put through a nightmare.

So with that accepted by thd company that people have been having a

terrible time? There was an acceptance that it meant people

would not get a good night's sleep. The bigger picture is peopld have

worked in the middle of a htge piece of infrastructure for well over 18

months and the lives have bden made intolerable. These people should not

have had to have it like thhs. It has been dreadful for them. I wish

people would wake up and re`lise they have had a rotten time and they

should do the right thing bx them. A teenager from Nottingham hs

thought to have become the country's youngest bone marrow donor today.

He's Ethan Buttress, a 17`year`old student.

Today's procedure though was made possible by

the work of another local student. Adrian Sudbury died in 2008

but before he lost the fight against leukaemia he campaigned

for teenagers to become donors. James Roberson reports.

It May be six years since their son died but

their pride in him shows no end The video shows news footagd taken

of him during his final months while he battled with leukadmia

and wrote a blog about it. I was in such a unique position to

try and change something th`t offered quite a simple solution to

a major problem in our country. It seems a bit rude

if I am not bothered. He had become a journalist hn

Yorkshire and took his camp`ign for young people to register as donors

all the way to Downing Stredt, meeting the ten Prime Minister.

He said if more people know how simple and

easy it is and how straightforward and safe it is to do this m`ny more

people will want to join. That was what sparked the Rdgister

And Be A Lifesaver programmd. The person donating today is

from his old school. We wish Ethan all the best today.

This is not the end of the story. Adrian went to college,

that has been so supportive with what we want to do.

And to think something that came from our son has now saved

as many as potentially 14 lhves We feel very proud about wh`t Adrian

started. Police are concerned

for the safety of a teenager with cerebral palsy who's gone mhssing

from his home in Derby. Michael Bado is 17

and walks with a limp because of the condition he has.

He went missing at around 7 o'clock this morning from his home

in Princes Street in Derby. He's a Slovak

and doesn't speak English. Police are asking people

in the area to check gardens and outbuildings and if anyone sees

Michael, to ring 101. The scientist who developed genetic

fingerprinting has been honoured with a new portrait

at the University of Leicester. Sir Alec Jeffreys returned to

the university where he carried out his groundbreaking research,

to unveil the portrait. Today marks the 30th anniversary

of the moment when his famots scientific breakthrough was made.

When I first set up this department and gave a talk about the ability of

DNA. When it came out peopld just fell over laughing and thought I had

lost the plot. The thought xou do not combine DNA with forenshc

science but time has proven me right.

14 recovering addicts from Loughborough are spendhng

a month trying to save the lives of abandoned babies.

They're going to South Africa to build a nursery in a place that s

Jeremy Ball, heard about the distressing

addicts are preparing for something that could soon save lives.

They are going to convert a disused church hall into ` warm

change my life too. In my old life I was probably very

selfish and it is getting something back.

Doing something positive for the project over there will be

beneficial to me and my development in my recovery.

This man runs the Carpenters Arms Centre and came up

with the project after visiting South Africa and seeing horrific

pictures of the bodies of unwanted babies who had been abandondd.

There was one that had been thrown out of a moving car on a motorway.

In one place the dreams were blocked and they

found 14 babies stuck in thd pipe. I cried and cried about it.

It really got to me. We could not walk away from it.

Eventually they hope to build a whole village, a place for

foster families to raise those abandoned babies giving thel a life

and a future. That's your news. So, It's goodbye

from me but here's your weather Thank you. We have had the beautiful

September day to day and thhs trend of settled weather is set to

continue on the rest of the week. It will be dry and fine with stnny

spells. It will state settldd tonight with clear spells and light

winds. A rather chilly night with some mist and fog patches. That mist

and fog will remain first thing but will quite quickly clear. It will be

a decent day with plenty of sunshine to be had but this code will roll in

as we go through the day. Where we do get cloud it will break to get

some sunshine. Feeling pleasant for the time of year. Another dry and

Plenty to talk about by day and by night. The mornings are distinctly

chilly. A lot of clear sky out there today on the satellite picture, a

bit of fair weather cloud. The thicker, rain-bearing cloud is still

kept well at bay. There seems to be some sort of force field keeping

that thicker cloud away from the UK. That is provided by a block of high

pressure and these blocks take some shifting. For the time being, the
