It's almost 6.30pm - you're watching East Midlands Today.

:00:08.:00:10.

Tonight - a dramatic rise in hate crimes following the EU referendum.

:00:11.:00:20.

There is no doubt that the referendum result unfortunately gave

:00:21.:00:23.

some people the confidence to behave in a way and use language towards

:00:24.:00:26.

certain groups in our communities which they maybe wouldn't have done

:00:27.:00:28.

Also tonight, the death of seven-year-old Shanay walker. Sheep

:00:29.:00:41.

farmers on alert, after a series of attacks by dogs. And the blind

:00:42.:00:47.

Alpine skier who is now a crack shot with a rifle. I was dealt a really

:00:48.:00:53.

rough card when I lost my sight years ago but I have played the best

:00:54.:00:57.

hand I could with the deck of card I was given.

:00:58.:01:09.

Good evening and welcome to Wednesday's programme.

:01:10.:01:11.

First tonight - the big surge in hate crimes

:01:12.:01:16.

Across England and Wales record levels were recorded by most police

:01:17.:01:22.

Here in the East Midlands, Nottinghamshire saw the country's

:01:23.:01:27.

second biggest percentage increase. Geeta's been looking at the figures.

:01:28.:01:41.

Yes, all our police forces saw a rise in reported hate crimes

:01:42.:01:44.

Nottinghamshire police saw 189 reports of hate

:01:45.:01:49.

crimes up by 75% compared to the previous three months.

:01:50.:01:51.

In Leicestershire there were 213 reports - that's up by 60%.

:01:52.:01:54.

Derbyshire saw 117 up by 8%. Whilst Lincolnshire was up by 59%.

:01:55.:01:58.

The statistics include five types of racially or religiously

:01:59.:02:02.

aggravated offences which range from assaults to criminal damages.

:02:03.:02:05.

So can the EU referendum be blamed for this spike?

:02:06.:02:11.

Well, Nottinghamshire Police, which saw the second highest

:02:12.:02:13.

percentage increase, says it definitely made an impact

:02:14.:02:17.

but there were also a number of other factors in play.

:02:18.:02:21.

There is no doubt that the referendum result unfortunately gave

:02:22.:02:24.

some people the confidence to behave in a way and use language towards

:02:25.:02:28.

certain groups in our communities which they maybe wouldn't have done

:02:29.:02:32.

However, that resulted in some significant

:02:33.:02:38.

increase in media coverage of this issue and some direct government

:02:39.:02:42.

response to the issue of hate crime and there is also

:02:43.:02:44.

increased people's confidence to come forward.

:02:45.:02:50.

During this period, Nottinghamshire Police also

:02:51.:02:54.

became the first police force in the UK to introduce

:02:55.:02:57.

misogyny as a hate crime, which was actively

:02:58.:02:59.

Despite these varying reasons, the head of the Equality

:03:00.:03:06.

and Human Rights Commission warned that many people remain anxious,

:03:07.:03:08.

and that the triggering of Article 50 would be the next major milestone

:03:09.:03:11.

and it was vital to support people who may feel at risk.

:03:12.:03:15.

A coroner says communication between professionals "failed

:03:16.:03:23.

miserably" before the death of a seven-year-old girl.

:03:24.:03:26.

Shanay Walker died in 2014 in Nottingham.

:03:27.:03:29.

Her aunt and grandmother are in prison for cruelty

:03:30.:03:32.

to the girl who was found to have more than 50 injuries.

:03:33.:03:35.

An inquest into her death is continuing as Simon Ward reports.

:03:36.:03:42.

It is thought at least ten safeguarding referrals were made

:03:43.:03:49.

about Shanay Walker but the inquest into her death talks about missed

:03:50.:03:52.

opportunities from professionals involved to work together.

:03:53.:03:54.

She was in the care of her aunt, Kay-Ann Morris who was jailed

:03:55.:03:58.

for cruelty to Shanay, along with Shanay's

:03:59.:04:00.

A week and a half into this inquest, and we continue to hear that

:04:01.:04:09.

concerns were raised about Shanay Walker

:04:10.:04:11.

The coroner Maureen Casey says there is evidence that information

:04:12.:04:17.

was withheld from the local authority in the months

:04:18.:04:19.

Shanay's aunt Kay-Ann Morris was said to have dominated

:04:20.:04:25.

interviews with professionals and persuaded them that the injuries

:04:26.:04:28.

were accidental or even self-inflicted by Shanay.

:04:29.:04:31.

Shanay went Southglade Primary School in Nottingham.

:04:32.:04:34.

While safeguarding referrals were made, staff have been

:04:35.:04:37.

questioned about how effective procedures were at the school.

:04:38.:04:39.

The coroner said communication channels failed miserably

:04:40.:04:41.

between the school, local authority and health professionals.

:04:42.:04:44.

Giving evidence today was incontinence nurse Stephanie Joyner.

:04:45.:04:47.

She had concerns but said, on reflection, I should

:04:48.:04:50.

She could not explain why she didn't.

:04:51.:05:00.

The aunt Kay-Ann Morris was allowed to bring

:05:01.:05:02.

so-called spiritual guardians to meetings with professionals.

:05:03.:05:04.

They were her friends who backed up what she said.

:05:05.:05:07.

Still to come - an East Midlands MP visits a refugee camp close

:05:08.:05:14.

Anna Soubry's there to see how British aid donations are helping

:05:15.:05:18.

the victims of Syria's brutal civil war.

:05:19.:05:36.

An anonymous donor has given a girl ?10,000 after thieves

:05:37.:05:39.

stole a collection tin which was helping to fund

:05:40.:05:46.

a life-changing operation. Nine-year-old Kareena Hayes

:05:47.:05:49.

from Long Eaton in Derbyshire has cerebral palsy.

:05:50.:05:52.

She needs an operation to help her walk unaided.

:05:53.:05:54.

But it's not available free on the NHS.

:05:55.:05:56.

A charity box was stolen from a cafe in Borrowash last week.

:05:57.:05:59.

Now a businessman's putting up the money

:06:00.:06:01.

The number of people out of work in the East Midlands has gone up again.

:06:02.:06:09.

Figures from October to December show there

:06:10.:06:17.

That's 6,000 more than the previous quarter.

:06:18.:06:24.

The Work and Pensions Secretary Damien Green says the great news

:06:25.:06:26.

for the East Midlands is that more than two and a quarter million

:06:27.:06:29.

people are in work, which is almost a record.

:06:30.:06:34.

East Midlands Airport says it's experienced a 15% increase

:06:35.:06:36.

in passenger numbers so far this year.

:06:37.:06:42.

Last month nearly 220,000 people travelled

:06:43.:06:48.

through the airport. That compares with about

:06:49.:06:53.

190,000 in January last year.

:06:54.:06:54.

New routes and more frequent flights to popular destinations mean

:06:55.:06:57.

the airport's expecting its biggest ever summer.

:06:58.:06:58.

Dog owners are being urged to think before they let

:06:59.:07:01.

their pets off the lead - after a series of attacks

:07:02.:07:03.

At least eight animals died in the latest incident

:07:04.:07:07.

The National Farmers Union says it's a growing problem.

:07:08.:07:11.

And just a warning, you may find some of the images in Giles Taylor's

:07:12.:07:14.

The sheep were shut away with dozens of others in this pen,

:07:15.:07:22.

ready for lambing season when it was attacked

:07:23.:07:25.

by two dogs on Friday. We have had dog attacks before

:07:26.:07:28.

but not like this because this was more of a frenzy.

:07:29.:07:31.

And we were very lucky we didn't lose more.

:07:32.:07:33.

But the ewes at the moment, there are a couple being treated

:07:34.:07:37.

with antibiotics now and the scars are still there and we don't know

:07:38.:07:40.

Well, the attack started in this field early on Friday morning

:07:41.:07:45.

But a number of them were chased and caught by the dogs and we can

:07:46.:07:50.

My wife found two in the field where she feeds a cat.

:07:51.:07:58.

And we had a drive round and discovered three more had been

:07:59.:08:02.

The National Farmers' Union says there was a 50% rise

:08:03.:08:09.

in attacks last year, costing farmers across

:08:10.:08:12.

It's not just a case of losing a few sheep with a dog attack.

:08:13.:08:23.

It's the follow-up problems you get, the vets bills.

:08:24.:08:25.

It is the fact that you've lost maybe your breeding programme.

:08:26.:08:31.

Plus all the time and hassle the former has to put up with because of

:08:32.:08:38.

disturbances to his flock. Big dogs are carnivores and if they are on

:08:39.:08:41.

the loose and in a frenzy, they just want to kill. Nick says he won't

:08:42.:08:52.

know the true cost of the attack and to lambing season begins next month.

:08:53.:08:57.

Nursery children had to be moved to safety

:08:58.:09:02.

after a digger ruptured a gas line in Nottingham this morning.

:09:03.:09:05.

The emergency services set up a 50-metre cordon

:09:06.:09:07.

on Carlton Road in Sneinton - and up to 50 properties, including

:09:08.:09:10.

the nursery, were evacuated. Steve Orme reports.

:09:11.:09:14.

Morning rush hour and traffic is brought to a standstill.

:09:15.:09:17.

A digger hit a low-pressure gas main causing a severe leak.

:09:18.:09:20.

The emergency services were called to deal

:09:21.:09:23.

with the possibility of an explosion.

:09:24.:09:27.

There was a very pungent, strong gas smell.

:09:28.:09:30.

Potentially, it would've been a huge incident if it had exploded.

:09:31.:09:33.

We have been working closely with the other emergency services

:09:34.:09:35.

so it has been a joint emergency service project.

:09:36.:09:37.

About 50 homes and businesses were evacuated.

:09:38.:09:41.

Once we had realised what we'd got, that is when the chaos started

:09:42.:09:44.

and it was arranging that chaos to make it calm and that is

:09:45.:09:47.

A sports session was due to take place on the playing fields over

:09:48.:09:52.

the road for around 90 children who are off school for half-term.

:09:53.:09:57.

That had to be called off. Among the first businesses to be

:09:58.:09:59.

evacuated was this nursery next to the building site.

:10:00.:10:02.

It was breakfast time for around 25 children

:10:03.:10:05.

I literally left with no bag, no nothing.

:10:06.:10:10.

I actually nearly walked out with my slippers on.

:10:11.:10:12.

So it was just getting the children out.

:10:13.:10:15.

We just put them into pushchairs, an evacu-cart and we took

:10:16.:10:21.

them to a youth centre around the corner which kindly opened up

:10:22.:10:24.

for us, so we could go in there and use the hall.

:10:25.:10:27.

The nursery should be open as normal tomorrow.

:10:28.:10:29.

The National Grid which is responsible for the gas supply says

:10:30.:10:32.

a temporary repair was carried out on the pipes straightaway

:10:33.:10:34.

A Nottinghamshire MP's been speaking to us from close

:10:35.:10:46.

to the Syrian border, where she's gone to see how

:10:47.:10:49.

millions of refugees are living in freezing camps.

:10:50.:10:53.

Anna Soubry's visiting Jordan with a leading charity,

:10:54.:10:56.

that's using British aid donations to keep victims of the war alive.

:10:57.:10:59.

Our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, managed to get

:11:00.:11:01.

through to her this afternoon, and he joins us now.

:11:02.:11:04.

She's gone to a huge camp called Zaatari,

:11:05.:11:10.

with the charity Oxfam. It's a place where tens of thousands

:11:11.:11:13.

of refugees are surviving in appalling conditions.

:11:14.:11:17.

And Anna Soubry says she wants to see if Britain

:11:18.:11:21.

can do more to help. Today she's been meeting several

:11:22.:11:24.

people whose homes were bombed in Syria's civil war.

:11:25.:11:29.

Who've fled across the border escaped across the border,

:11:30.:11:33.

They're now stranded in the desert, often

:11:34.:11:38.

Some have been there for several years.

:11:39.:11:42.

And I got through to Anna this afternoon, on a rather

:11:43.:11:45.

This is basically like a great big piece of rubble.

:11:46.:11:49.

There is no vegetation, there are no trees,

:11:50.:11:52.

there are no bushes, there are no plants.

:11:53.:11:55.

And they are surviving. It is absolutely freezing.

:11:56.:11:58.

These people want to go home and they want to go back

:11:59.:12:01.

to Syria but at the moment, the reality is, I think

:12:02.:12:03.

it is going to be many years before they can.

:12:04.:12:06.

The government's already supporting some Syrian refugees

:12:07.:12:09.

So why's she worried about what's happening in Jordan?

:12:10.:12:15.

The numbers here are miniscule by comparison.

:12:16.:12:21.

The Government's focussing Britain's support

:12:22.:12:23.

And we're spending a lot on foreign aid to deter those

:12:24.:12:29.

refugees from trying to get trafficked into Europe.

:12:30.:12:31.

But Anna Soubry says they desperately need more help.

:12:32.:12:35.

It is like as, if my constituency in Kimberley suddenly had bombs

:12:36.:12:38.

hitting it and people flee for their lives.

:12:39.:12:40.

They literally take whatever they can.

:12:41.:12:42.

These people did not create the situation that they are in.

:12:43.:12:46.

And they are genuinely just like you and me.

:12:47.:12:49.

But they have lost their home, lost everything, because of war

:12:50.:12:52.

And many of them are still traumatised by it.

:12:53.:12:59.

And she got a bit teary - just before we lost the signal.

:13:00.:13:03.

As she told me about a Syrian accountant, who she met today.

:13:04.:13:05.

His family was about be resettled in the States.

:13:06.:13:09.

But for now - he's stuck - in the camp.

:13:10.:13:13.

A man from Leicestershire says his life has been transformed

:13:14.:13:17.

thanks to a device which acts like an emergency response service.

:13:18.:13:21.

Sean Fitzpatrick from Loughborough said he used to barely

:13:22.:13:25.

leave his home because he worried about his health.

:13:26.:13:27.

Now thanks to a monitor installed in his flat,

:13:28.:13:29.

Sean, who has diabetes, is the youngest person

:13:30.:13:34.

in Charnwood with the condition to have the monitor.

:13:35.:13:37.

For Sean Fitzpatrick, this monitor has changed his life.

:13:38.:13:44.

The device prompts him to press a button to show he's well

:13:45.:13:47.

and if he misses the prompt, a family member or a

:13:48.:13:50.

How can I help you? Hello, I am checking my activity button to make

:13:51.:14:04.

sure it is working. Yes, that has come through perfectly fine, thank

:14:05.:14:07.

you. Today was just a test,

:14:08.:14:10.

but if Sean needed help, Sean has heart problems

:14:11.:14:13.

and type one diabetes - He can fall unconscious if his blood

:14:14.:14:17.

sugar levels get too low. Before he had the device installed,

:14:18.:14:20.

life was very different. It has made me more confident that I

:14:21.:14:28.

will be fine if something does happen. I'm not scared or petrified

:14:29.:14:29.

which are used to be. The checks to make sure Sean's

:14:30.:14:35.

OK, come from here - Sean is the only person in Charnwood

:14:36.:14:38.

with diabetes to have the monitor. Often people think it is more of an

:14:39.:14:50.

emergency response and only for old people. Sean is quite different

:14:51.:14:53.

because he is younger but it shows the service can be used for people

:14:54.:14:54.

with disabilities and illnesses. 1,700 people have signed

:14:55.:14:58.

up to the Lifeline project in Charnwood.

:14:59.:15:00.

The council offers a 24/7 response, 365 days a year.

:15:01.:15:03.

And the cost? Just under ?4 a week

:15:04.:15:05.

for each household. It gives him a bit more lease of

:15:06.:15:13.

life because we don't have to keep checking up on him and he doesn't

:15:14.:15:17.

have to keep telling us if he is going out. Before this I used to sit

:15:18.:15:22.

in all day with the curtains closed and got depression. But no, I am

:15:23.:15:23.

happy. Sean is now looking forward

:15:24.:15:26.

to spending more time, out of his flat with his family

:15:27.:15:28.

and his new baby niece. Still to come on the programme -

:15:29.:15:36.

a warming trend. Lucy's standing by with our

:15:37.:15:41.

East Midlands weather forecast. Plus a new campaign to raise money

:15:42.:15:43.

for vital research to help children It is time for sport and Colin,

:15:44.:16:02.

quite a few goals last night. Just a few, it was busy, married,

:16:03.:16:10.

you might say. 22 goals in all, an average of 5.5 per match and they

:16:11.:16:15.

were all close. Roller-coaster of comeback late goals. It is perhaps

:16:16.:16:20.

Derby's defeat that would have the most impact. This is the story of

:16:21.:16:28.

the Championship. Here's the story of the Championship

:16:29.:16:36.

through commentators, Derby have scored! Darren Bent runs

:16:37.:16:49.

away to claim it. That is when the wheels came off leaving manager

:16:50.:16:52.

Steve McClaren frustrated. The goal before half-time... We said, keep

:16:53.:16:59.

doing what we're doing at half-time and make sure we get the next goal.

:17:00.:17:06.

Great fighting spirit. We still go forward and we go for it. We

:17:07.:17:14.

equalise. It is just poor defending. We will keep fighting. We will keep

:17:15.:17:18.

playing football and doing the right things and if we get in there, we

:17:19.:17:22.

deserve to and if we don't, we don't deserve to. Nottingham Forest were

:17:23.:17:26.

also quick to take the league. -- lead. He has challenged. Nottingham

:17:27.:17:39.

Forest have scored. Fulham scored twice before Nottingham Forest

:17:40.:17:44.

equalised. Caretaker manager Gary Brazil would have settled for that

:17:45.:17:47.

but was fuming at what happened next. Just one little bit of a

:17:48.:17:51.

switch off where we don't track our runner. And we find ourselves 3-2

:17:52.:17:55.

down. Just another note

:17:56.:17:57.

on Nottingham Forest - where the accounts for

:17:58.:18:04.

2015-16 have revealed an operating loss

:18:05.:18:11.

of over ?23 million. Owner Fawaz Al Hasawi

:18:12.:18:13.

has written off nearly Which means the official

:18:14.:18:18.

loss is ?2.2 million. Exeter's David Wheeler

:18:19.:18:28.

had put the visitiors into the lead in the first half.

:18:29.:18:31.

So far, so ordinary. In fact, it stayed 1-0

:18:32.:18:35.

until Exeter had a man sent off and then still managed

:18:36.:18:43.

to double their lead in the 88th. So deep into injury time,

:18:44.:18:46.

surely this from Richard Duffy was mere consolation

:18:47.:18:48.

for the Magpies? It was last night, and that

:18:49.:18:50.

meant another Notts goal within seconds of the first.

:18:51.:18:55.

George Grant getting it. An astonishing point

:18:56.:18:57.

from the jaws of defeat. Now, in a way we've saved

:18:58.:18:59.

the best till last. Mansfield Town had a proper see-saw

:19:00.:19:02.

match against Accrington. They'd fought back

:19:03.:19:18.

from 2-0 and 3-1 down to level things at 3-3

:19:19.:19:24.

with this penalty. But the match was far

:19:25.:19:26.

from over and Accrington took the lead again -

:19:27.:19:28.

also from the spot. So it was 4-3, going

:19:29.:19:31.

into the final minute. COMMENTATOR: Forward

:19:32.:19:33.

up towards White. Good header on.

:19:34.:19:37.

He is going to try his luck. What a finish from Johan Arkin.

:19:38.:19:39.

What a game. It is a 4-4 and are we done yet?

:19:40.:19:41.

Who knows in this game? There will be no challenge cup final

:19:42.:19:59.

for ice hockey's Nottingham panthers this year. After winning the trophy

:20:00.:20:03.

for six years out of the last seven, panthers were knocked out by

:20:04.:20:05.

Sheffield in the semifinal last night.

:20:06.:20:09.

Changes at the top of Derbyshire county cricket. Chairman Chris

:20:10.:20:14.

Grande resigning to prepare for an election bid at the England and

:20:15.:20:15.

Wales cricket board. All of the top level women's road

:20:16.:20:23.

went blind and three years ago he took up skiing. Now he has added

para-snowsports team and I learnt to ski with a guide.

:21:11.:21:25.

So my guide skis in front of me. He has communication on him,

:21:26.:21:28.

so he has a microphone on his back and a microphone across his mouth

:21:29.:21:31.

and he is giving me instruction I had quite a bad accident

:21:32.:21:34.

and ended up in hospital. My comms failed and I came out

:21:35.:21:40.

of the course for safety reasons and then I went straight

:21:41.:21:44.

into a pillar. So I took the slightly safer option

:21:45.:21:47.

of cross-country skiing and started biathlon.

:21:48.:21:51.

It is two sports in one. It is a combination

:21:52.:21:56.

of shooting and skiing. And people say to me, how do you

:21:57.:22:01.

shoot as a visually-impaired person? The gun is connected to the target

:22:02.:22:05.

and I have a control box with some headphones on and as I come up

:22:06.:22:10.

on to target, the closer I get to the target,

:22:11.:22:13.

there is a pitch that comes through my ear and it starts beeping

:22:14.:22:19.

and as you get closer to the target, the pitch goes higher

:22:20.:22:22.

and to a particular point when you then shoot...

:22:23.:22:24.

And the you fire off. Because you are aiming using your

:22:25.:22:28.

ears rather than your eyes. It is a new skill

:22:29.:22:34.

you have to develop. With biathlon, you ski,

:22:35.:22:38.

you shoot, you ski, you shoot And for every shot you miss,

:22:39.:22:41.

you then have to do a penalty loop. I was dealt a really rough card

:22:42.:22:49.

when I lost my sight, some years ago, but I played

:22:50.:22:52.

the best hand I could with the deck I see educating people

:22:53.:22:56.

that have an impairment, have a disability or whatever

:22:57.:23:02.

you want call it, it doesn't stop you from doing

:23:03.:23:06.

something you want to do. I don't see myself

:23:07.:23:09.

as a disabled person. I see myself as a person

:23:10.:23:12.

who can't see very well. We should get Charlie Slater out to

:23:13.:23:26.

tell him to take a bow! Extraordinary. And he tells his

:23:27.:23:27.

story really well. Families affected by childhood

Centre in Nottingham. I don't remember anything

:24:00.:24:03.

about when I was being ill She was fine for a couple of years

:24:04.:24:05.

but then gradually she has been having follow-up scans

:24:06.:24:12.

and they noticed that there was a teeny tiny little bit that

:24:13.:24:17.

must have been missed and they decided that it

:24:18.:24:20.

would gradually start causing problems so they decided

:24:21.:24:23.

that they had better take that out. Brain tumours kill more children

:24:24.:24:26.

in the UK than any other cancer. The University of Nottingham

:24:27.:24:30.

and the Queen's Medical Centre are at the forefront

:24:31.:24:33.

of tackling the disease. We are less able to treat children's

:24:34.:24:36.

brain tumours than we are some of the children's tumour types,

:24:37.:24:39.

so that every month, ten children in the UK die

:24:40.:24:43.

from a brain tumour. Today, families and staff got
