That's all from the BBC News at 6, so it's goodbye from me,

:00:00.:00:00.

It's nearly 6:30, you're watching East Midlands Today.

:00:00.:00:09.

Tonight - fears that the proposed takeover of a struggling hospital

:00:10.:00:12.

It's after senior bosses from Nottingham working with

:00:13.:00:17.

Kings Mill and Newark hospital step down.

:00:18.:00:20.

Please get this sorted as soon as possible so that residents

:00:21.:00:23.

here can have confidence there is a long-term

:00:24.:00:25.

sustainable future for our health care.

:00:26.:00:29.

Also tonight, murdered by his

:00:30.:00:32.

girlfriend, a victim of male domestic abuse.

:00:33.:00:35.

It never occured to me that she had that sort of maliciousness.

:00:36.:00:42.

Plus fears by hunt monitors of violent confrontations

:00:43.:00:47.

And pumpkin power, how warm autumn weather has created

:00:48.:00:54.

a bumper crop at one Nottinghamshire farm.

:00:55.:01:14.

Welcome to Friday's programme with Anne Davies

:01:15.:01:15.

First tonight - It's already been delayed.

:01:16.:01:18.

There are concerns tonight that the controversial takeover

:01:19.:01:22.

of a struggling hospital trtst won't now happen.

:01:23.:01:26.

Senior bosses from Nottingh`m's NHS hospitals announced today they're

:01:27.:01:29.

to stop working at the troubled Sherwood Forest hospitals trust

:01:30.:01:34.

It's so they can focus on t`ckling pressures in their own organisation.

:01:35.:01:38.

A Nottinghamshire MP says hd's worried the ambitious takeover

:01:39.:01:41.

Let's ask our health correspondent Rob Sissons who's

:01:42.:01:45.

Behind the scenes there is ` lot of frustration over the delay. That

:01:46.:02:04.

takeover should have been sorted out by next month but it is now going to

:02:05.:02:09.

be well into next year before that we learn whether it will happen

:02:10.:02:14.

Those key managers you menthoned is, the chief executive and the chief

:02:15.:02:19.

nurse and the chairmen have been doing two jobs to here in Nottingham

:02:20.:02:24.

and up the road in Ashford. They have their work cut out no Hugh in

:02:25.:02:29.

Nottingham. This is the acchdent and emergency unit where they h`ve been

:02:30.:02:37.

struggling to meet waiting times. Winter is round the corner so they

:02:38.:02:38.

want to focus on that right now What's been the reaction

:02:39.:02:40.

to tonight's news? I have been talking to a

:02:41.:02:47.

Nottinghamshire MP who is anxious that the takeover should happen The

:02:48.:02:52.

King's Mill Hospital is ratdd as inadequate and needs a good trust

:02:53.:02:57.

like this to take it over and he says and he is taking at face value

:02:58.:03:01.

for know what the NHS bosses have said to him. The messages wd have

:03:02.:03:08.

had today are positive. Thex are saying they are still committed to

:03:09.:03:12.

the merger happening. I havd spoken to the Health Secretary and he said

:03:13.:03:18.

the same. We have been throtgh some difficult years when public

:03:19.:03:23.

confidence in our local NHS has been very poor due to the reports and the

:03:24.:03:27.

terrible finances and the wdights in accident and emergency in Nottingham

:03:28.:03:31.

and Kingsmill. We really nedd to seek action.

:03:32.:03:32.

Where does this leave King's Mill and Newark hospitals ?

:03:33.:03:39.

With a lot of uncertainty for the people who work fair and at the

:03:40.:03:47.

trust in Nottingham. It is very difficult to recruit people for

:03:48.:03:50.

King's Mill Hospital, they `re very dedicated but there is not dnough of

:03:51.:03:55.

them. It is a huge reliance on agency staff which means th`t is a

:03:56.:04:02.

lack of continuity. In the forthcoming Care Quality Colmission

:04:03.:04:04.

report we are told there should be improvements. We have made

:04:05.:04:08.

significant improvements in the last 12 months and we hope that will be

:04:09.:04:13.

reflected in a positive report which we expect from their care commission

:04:14.:04:18.

in the next few weeks. That has been led by their leadership teal at a

:04:19.:04:23.

sherbet. That leadership te`m will continue to drive forward these

:04:24.:04:27.

improvements and build on them. -- Sherwood.

:04:28.:04:29.

What do you think is the significance of todays news

:04:30.:04:34.

It is clear Nottingham have a lot on their plate but some of this might

:04:35.:04:42.

be the ritual dance of the goods station. Nottingham have ond chance

:04:43.:04:46.

to secure a good deal and a good financial package, they say if it is

:04:47.:04:51.

not right they will walk aw`y. Thank you very much indeed.

:04:52.:04:52.

Next - domestic violence against men by their partners.

:04:53.:04:55.

Over the last four years more and more men in our region

:04:56.:04:58.

have been reporting abuse to the police -

:04:59.:05:00.

a total of nearly nine thousand complaints.

:05:01.:05:02.

Tomorrow an event is to be held in Leicester to increase aw`reness

:05:03.:05:05.

of the issue and raise monex to support those affected.

:05:06.:05:07.

Among the speakers will be Sara Westle, from Leicestershire,

:05:08.:05:09.

whose son was murdered by his partner.

:05:10.:05:11.

Four years ago Sarah Wessel's life fell apart after her son was

:05:12.:05:29.

murdered by the woman he loved. It never occurred to me that she had

:05:30.:05:40.

that sort of maliciousness. Evilness in her. It just turns your life into

:05:41.:05:46.

complete turmoil and upside down. The heartache that you carrx is just

:05:47.:05:55.

horrendous. Eddie was stabbdd 2 times by his partner after the court

:05:56.:05:59.

case in 2013 she was jailed for life. The story of Eddie is not just

:06:00.:06:06.

a tragic one off. In the East Midlands over the last four years,

:06:07.:06:11.

the number of men reporting partner abuse to police has increasdd

:06:12.:06:17.

steadily from around 1620 12 up to 2700 last year. I think it hs

:06:18.:06:23.

encouraging because it means the police are being more aware of

:06:24.:06:29.

domestic abuse and also are better at giving a good reception to men

:06:30.:06:35.

who do come forward. Also wd are finding that members of the public,

:06:36.:06:40.

friends and colleagues are `lso supporting men and encouraghng them

:06:41.:06:45.

to get help. This video madd by a Leicester film-maker illustrates how

:06:46.:06:52.

cases of domestic abuse can be misjudged due to gender stereotypes.

:06:53.:06:59.

Personally I cannot imagine being effects, let alone the victhm who

:07:00.:07:03.

does not have the support they need and perhaps feels they cannot speak

:07:04.:07:08.

out because they will be latghed at. That is why I have organised this

:07:09.:07:10.

That is why I have organised this event.

:07:11.:07:23.

The Canadian-owned company Bombardier, which has its train

:07:24.:07:24.

making operation in Derby, is to cut another 7,500 jobs

:07:25.:07:33.

The firm says it is confident no more jobs have to go for now as

:07:34.:07:40.

production is showing signs of growth.

:07:41.:07:43.

The Canadian-owned company Bombardier, which has its train

:07:44.:07:46.

making operation in Derby, is to cut another 7,500 jobs

:07:47.:07:48.

There are 1600 workers at the Derby site.

:07:49.:07:51.

But the RMT union has told BBC East Midlands Today that thd company

:07:52.:07:59.

has said staff in Derby will NOT be affected by the cuts.

:08:00.:08:03.

A spokesman for Bombardier said no formal announcement had been made

:08:04.:08:05.

Still to come, we talk to the boss of clothing firm which is t`king

:08:06.:08:18.

over Derbyshire school. Also tonight, Georgian library which has

:08:19.:08:24.

been added to historic England's at risk register.

:08:25.:08:31.

Animal welfare investigators say they fear a member of the ptblic

:08:32.:08:33.

could be injured for innocently taking photos due to heightdned

:08:34.:08:37.

The warning comes as police investigate a violent confrontation

:08:38.:08:43.

in Leicestershire which saw one man taken to hospital with brokdn bones

:08:44.:08:46.

It was the last day of the traditional fox hunting season and

:08:47.:08:54.

I am just body-camming injuries to his

:08:55.:08:59.

head, the left-hand side, hd has received a blow and he is bleeding.

:09:00.:09:03.

Cameras from the BBC's Inside Out programme

:09:04.:09:05.

captured the aftermath of

:09:06.:09:06.

a violent confrontation involving two investigators

:09:07.:09:13.

The former police officer s`id because of his neck injury,

:09:14.:09:27.

specialist equipment had to be brought in to rescue him.

:09:28.:09:29.

We have seen nasty footage of saboteurs being assaulted

:09:30.:09:31.

We operate differently from the saboteurs, it is otr job

:09:32.:09:37.

to watch what the hunt is doing it is not

:09:38.:09:40.

For the first time the leagte allowed cameras to

:09:41.:09:45.

follow its investigators over hunting season.

:09:46.:09:50.

Since 2005 it has been illegal to hunt mammals,

:09:51.:09:52.

We have done about 25 hunts this year.

:09:53.:10:08.

We have to put in a huge amount of resources.

:10:09.:10:15.

The league says there were three cases of suspectdd

:10:16.:10:18.

Opponents such as the Countryside Alliance said

:10:19.:10:29.

the investigation is disproportionate and a wastd of

:10:30.:10:31.

This summer Darryl and Roger return to the spot

:10:32.:10:37.

People are here all the time taking pictures.

:10:38.:10:42.

Some perfectly innocent person could get

:10:43.:10:46.

Two men remain on bail in relation to the

:10:47.:10:52.

injuries suffered by Darryl and Roger.

:10:53.:10:55.

And you can see Simon's full report on Inside Out here on BBC One,

:10:56.:11:02.

Next, the boss of a clothing firm that's taken over

:11:03.:11:07.

a school in Derbyshire, says he hopes it'll be

:11:08.:11:09.

a new beginning for the previously troubled institution.

:11:10.:11:11.

Last year, the former Alfreton Grange Arts Collegd was at

:11:12.:11:14.

But from this term, it's being sponsored by local business,

:11:15.:11:21.

So, can a clothing manufacttrer also run a school?

:11:22.:11:34.

November last year, strikes showed how the institution, staff `nd

:11:35.:11:46.

pupils were all suffering. Now it has all changed, a new building is

:11:47.:11:52.

under way to replace the battered 1950s building currently hotsing the

:11:53.:11:59.

pupils. This firm is behind it all. For 55 years, it has employdd people

:12:00.:12:05.

locally. We have a very good local people and the whole economx is

:12:06.:12:10.

driven by these local peopld. We have taken the view we will never be

:12:11.:12:14.

here that another 55 years hf we do not have well-educated children

:12:15.:12:20.

coming into the labour markdt. This term sore eye new head teacher come

:12:21.:12:24.

into the school with a new programme to stimulate the pupils. We want to

:12:25.:12:29.

make sure the children have the best education possible and they can move

:12:30.:12:33.

onto whatever they want to do in the future whether that is Univdrsity or

:12:34.:12:37.

employment or travelling thd world. We hope they will come back and talk

:12:38.:12:42.

to future students so they can inspire them and give them the same

:12:43.:12:47.

of ambition. The government has provided ?50 million for a new

:12:48.:12:51.

building but the pupils say it is more than that. It is a fresh start,

:12:52.:12:56.

new teachers, new uniform, ` different school. I'm quite excited,

:12:57.:13:02.

especially going into a nicd new building. I think it is a fresh

:13:03.:13:10.

start. Can a company like usually move into the education bushness?

:13:11.:13:15.

We're not moving into the education business but we are providing the

:13:16.:13:20.

leadership and guidance and we have been fortunate to recruit an

:13:21.:13:25.

excellent team of trustees, really good educational standards `nd this

:13:26.:13:29.

is what it needs, energy and enthusiasm. When the new buhlding

:13:30.:13:34.

opens next year they hope that will take the school into a whold new

:13:35.:13:36.

take the school into a whole new era.

:13:37.:13:40.

Police in Leicester are keen to question them in connecthon

:13:41.:13:51.

Some are elderly and they'vd all been conned into handing

:13:52.:13:56.

over cash and jewellery totalling ?100,000.

:13:57.:13:57.

So far the scammers have targeted areas around the city's Highfields

:13:58.:14:00.

This e-fit gives a clearer hmage of one of the men. The public `re urged

:14:01.:14:14.

to keep vigilant. Leicestershire's two largest

:14:15.:14:18.

councils are urging the Govdrnment to invest in a new type of train

:14:19.:14:20.

running to and from Leicestershire County Counchl

:14:21.:14:22.

and Leicester City Council both fear that without more investment before

:14:23.:14:26.

2020, delays in the electrification of the Midland Mainline will hit

:14:27.:14:28.

the local economy. They're calling on Ministers

:14:29.:14:30.

to order what are known as bi-mode trains which are powered by diesel

:14:31.:14:33.

or electricity so they can still be used when the line

:14:34.:14:35.

is eventually electrified. The annual snapshot of the health

:14:36.:14:38.

of England's historic sites has been Every year Historic England draws up

:14:39.:14:41.

its At Risk register. in the East Midlands it's pretty

:14:42.:14:50.

evenly balanced with ten sites As Quentin Rayner reports,

:14:51.:14:54.

some of the sites added are tucked Bromley House in Nottingham, was

:14:55.:14:57.

built in 1752 and from most of that After well over two

:14:58.:15:05.

centuries, the building is showing its age and has been added

:15:06.:15:09.

to the at risk register. The problem for the library

:15:10.:15:12.

is its 260-year-old It has never been replaced

:15:13.:15:14.

and constantly leaks. a lottery grant and needs h`lf

when the drainage is It's damaging our collection

:15:31.:15:32.

of books as well. We're walking underneath

:15:33.:15:42.

the colonnade of old Market Just outside the square

:15:43.:15:52.

is also at risk. Historic England is concerndd

:15:53.:15:55.

about empty premises. As well as the covered colonnade

:15:56.:16:02.

which surrounds the squares. This square in Nottingham

:16:03.:16:07.

was comparable to Covent Garden in the 18th century as you can see

:16:08.:16:12.

today, it is a bit tatty and under It was regarded as one of the most

:16:13.:16:20.

beautiful public spaces in the country.

:16:21.:16:20.

It is on the conservation areas at risk list to reflect that.

:16:21.:16:25.

On the plus side, Saint Marx's church in Leics was in dangdr

:16:26.:16:31.

of demolition, is off the rhsk register as is this

:16:32.:16:33.

Historic England say good progress has been made restoring

Taylor's Bell Foundry in Loughborough.

:16:37.:16:38.

Historic England say good progress is made.

:16:39.:16:48.

We've taken 12 buildings of the at risk list

:16:49.:16:51.

We maybe winning the battle but the battle continues.

:16:52.:16:54.

There is a lot of hard work for owners, ourselves and local

:16:55.:16:57.

Bromley House relies on rent and subscriptions from its lembers.

:16:58.:17:00.

It needs to find half a million but so far are it has

:17:01.:17:04.

That is a beautiful library, fingers crossed for the future.

:17:05.:17:09.

That is a beautiful library, fingers crossed for the futtre.

:17:10.:17:12.

Still to come - it's been a good year for the pumpkins.

As we hurtle towards Hallowden, Geeta's been to a Nottinghalshire

farm that's got a bumper crop of big orange beauties.

Dominic will now be very quhet and I am going to speak to Lesley with the

sport. Yes, indeed. First another day and

:17:35.:17:38.

more revelations out Today owner Fawaz Al Hasawi has

:17:39.:17:41.

revealed he will stand down today that Al Hasawi accused

:18:39.:18:53.

been his life. It seems that life just got a bit better. That's not

:18:54.:19:02.

just me, that's a lot of pl`yers here. It allows us to express

:19:03.:19:07.

ourselves no matter what position you are in, to play your gale and

:19:08.:19:13.

not worry about mistakes. Rdunited with Steve McClaren, a court she

:19:18.:19:23.

time I have been here as virus winning winning games. Which is what

:19:24.:19:32.

we all want. One spell with McLaren saw him score 11 goals in 18 games,

:19:33.:19:39.

Tom Ince believes he owes a debt to Derrick Lee County. It was ` great

:19:40.:19:45.

time for me. This next step needs to be the right one for me, and 24 now

:19:46.:19:51.

and I am slowly building into my prime time. I have to try and do

:19:52.:19:58.

everything I can do in the Premier League, you want to go and play beer

:19:59.:20:03.

and play against the best players in the world. This is the foundation

:20:04.:20:11.

for that, it is a long procdss. Playing in the Premier Leagte and

:20:12.:20:15.

following in his father's footsteps, he will take it all in his stride.

:20:16.:20:22.

It gives me a name that I al proud of, it sets me a challenge. I have

:20:23.:20:26.

to say what I can do here and what I can do for this club and wh`t

:20:27.:20:31.

happens in the future. Keephng watch every game, the man he trusts the

:20:32.:20:38.

most. My dad gives me an an`lysis after the game, what position I was

:20:39.:20:44.

then, which fit I should have used. That is always a big meeting after

:20:45.:20:50.

the game. I have loads of mdetings, with the old man after the game He

:20:51.:20:56.

is proud of his son who has managed to play in the game. When your son

:20:57.:21:02.

has managed to stay in the game and keep the name-calling, it is a great

:21:03.:21:06.

thing for him and it is a great bond we have as a player and ex-player

:21:07.:21:11.

and obviously father and son. We have a game of golf and a chat

:21:12.:21:20.

afterwards. Great archive footage there.

:21:21.:21:21.

:21:39.:21:46.

admitted last Friday's record defeat in Glasgow in the first

He's pledged to do all he c`n to put things rights ahead of Sund`y's

:21:52.:21:55.

match at Welford Road against French team Racing 92.

:21:56.:22:00.

I think the manner of defeats is the thing

:22:01.:22:02.

which is hurting all of us at

:22:03.:22:04.

I am not going to shirk awax from the responsibilities.

:22:05.:22:12.

Nor is the rest of the coaches or playing staff.

With Halloween on the horizon - it is a busy time for pumpkhn

:23:00.:23:05.

And it's especially busy thhs year at Brooke Farm in Nottinghalshire.

:23:06.:23:08.

Weather conditions have helped produce a bumper crop.

:23:09.:23:10.

As Geeta Pendse reports, they've got more pumpkins then

:23:11.:23:12.

Pumpkins, pumpkins and yes, you guessed it, pumpkins.

:23:13.:23:27.

This year has been a bumper crop at Brooke Farm in

:23:28.:23:31.

Staff say a wet early summer and sunny September have helped

:23:32.:23:44.

This year we have had 130 planted out in the field, normally we would

:23:45.:23:47.

expect 260 but this year we had just over 400.

:23:48.:23:54.

We have also been ready probably two weeks earlier than normal.

:23:55.:24:00.

So, yeah, plenty of pumpkins for sale.

:24:01.:24:02.

There is a size for everyond, perhaps the smaller variety or its

:24:03.:24:05.

larger neighbour, the magical pumpkins.

:24:06.:24:11.

Brooke Farm offers training and employment to disabled people.

:24:12.:24:22.

Andrew has been working here for a year and

:24:23.:24:24.

What kind of design do you have here?

:24:25.:24:32.

You mark it out and then we have cut it out in the shape.

:24:33.:24:47.

The pumpkins are on sale to the public, whether it is to eat or

:24:48.:24:50.

scare, there is no doubting they have pride of place here at Brook

:24:51.:24:53.

Brilliant. One of her viewers is 103 today. Many happy returns. There

:24:54.:25:25.

have been many smiling sons for your birthday and I have been told the

:25:26.:25:32.

technical name for this smiling sun. It certainly is, the son has been

:25:33.:25:38.

smiling. It looks like an upside-down rainbow. It is when the

:25:39.:25:44.

sun reflects through ice crxstals in the cloud.

:25:45.:25:50.

Keep the pictures coming in. You can join the weather watchers. Variable

:25:51.:25:57.

amounts of cloud for most of us it will be dry. A lot of dry wdather

:25:58.:26:04.

and it will get chilly once again. We are in those locked part in and

:26:05.:26:08.

we will stay there for the next few days. High pressure in charge, low

:26:09.:26:13.

pressure in the east. This low pressure gives us the risk of one or

:26:14.:26:18.

two showers. Mostly dry and overnight we will remain drx. Cloud

:26:19.:26:25.

increases for a time, the odd spot of rain. Temperatures down to 7

:26:26.:26:31.

degrees, 45 Fahrenheit. Cle`r skies in the south and you are looking at

:26:32.:26:36.

the risk of fog. Tomorrow wd will say the cloud and breaking tp more

:26:37.:26:41.

than today. Decent spells of sunshine, yes the risk of the odd

:26:42.:26:46.

shower but for most of us it will stay dry. A light breeze in the

:26:47.:26:52.

sunshine, highs of 12 degreds. Overnight into Sunday, we are

:26:53.:26:57.

looking at the week feature producing more cloud and a few

:26:58.:27:01.

showers in the south. Potentially a great start to the day on Stnday,

:27:02.:27:06.

showers at first but brightdning up. Highs of 12 degrees. The wind is

:27:07.:27:09.

picking up from the east and it looks like it will be dry for most

:27:10.:27:16.

of next week as well. Great. What do you do with pumpkins? You c`n make

:27:17.:27:21.

soup or you can fill them whth cheese and sweetcorn and crdam. You

:27:22.:27:29.

are my little pumpkin. Throw them in the bin!
