And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn.

:00:13.:00:17.

There's concern tonight that the takeover of a struggling

:00:18.:00:20.

Nottinghamshire hospital trust may be doomed.

:00:21.:00:21.

Top bosses at Nottingham's hospitals were also looking after the running

:00:22.:00:24.

of King's Mill and Newark Hospitals - but have now stepped down

:00:25.:00:27.

Our Health Correspondent Rob Sissons reports.

:00:28.:00:32.

For months, Nottingham's top bosses have been doing two jobs, managing

:00:33.:00:40.

two trusts but now we hear the chief executive in Nottingham,

:00:41.:00:43.

the chief nurse and the chair are stepping back from their

:00:44.:00:46.

work at the Sherwood Forest Trust to concentrate on

:00:47.:00:48.

They have their work cut out because this accident and

:00:49.:00:51.

Waiting times are way longer than they should be on average.

:00:52.:00:55.

They have to sort that out ahead of winter pressures.

:00:56.:00:59.

A Nottinghamshire MP tonight said he is worried the proposed takeover

:01:00.:01:02.

The messages we have had today from Nottingham

:01:03.:01:10.

and Sherwood are positive, they said they are still

:01:11.:01:12.

I spoke to Jeremy Hunt the Health Secretary

:01:13.:01:17.

this morning and he said exactly the same but of course we have been

:01:18.:01:20.

through some very difficult years when public confidence in our

:01:21.:01:25.

local NHS has been pretty poor due to those reports and the terrible

:01:26.:01:28.

finances, the waits in A both in Nottingham and King's Mill.

:01:29.:01:33.

At the Sherwood Hospital Trust they say they have made

:01:34.:01:39.

progress since branded inadequate by the Care Quality commission,

:01:40.:01:41.

We have made significant improvements in the last

:01:42.:01:45.

I hope will be reflected in a positive report from the CQC

:01:46.:01:51.

That has been led by the leadership team at Sherwood

:01:52.:01:59.

team that will be continuing over the next few months to drive forward

:02:00.:02:04.

these improvements and build on the improvements we have made.

:02:05.:02:06.

Some of today's news may have been the ritual dance of negotiation.

:02:07.:02:10.

Nottingham hospitals want to secure a good deal,

:02:11.:02:13.

they want a financial bailout for the King's Mill Hospital,

:02:14.:02:16.

if it is not right, they will not sign.

:02:17.:02:23.

There's been a rise in domestic violence against men in our region.

:02:24.:02:26.

Among speakers at an event in Leicester this weekend to tackle

:02:27.:02:28.

it will be a woman who's 20-year-old son was murdered by his partner.

:02:29.:02:41.

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

:02:42.:02:45.

It never occurred to me that she had that sort of maliciousness,

:02:46.:02:50.

Eddie was stabbed 24 times by his partner Michelle.

:02:51.:03:02.

After the court case in 2013 she was jailed for life.

:03:03.:03:08.

The story of Eddie is not just a tragic one-off.

:03:09.:03:10.

In the East Midlands over the last four years,

:03:11.:03:13.

the number of men reporting partner abuse to police has increased

:03:14.:03:18.

steadily from around 1600 in 2012 to 2700 last year.

:03:19.:03:26.

This video made by a Leicester film-maker who plays

:03:27.:03:30.

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

:03:31.:03:41.

Personally I cannot imagine being a victim in that situation,

:03:42.:03:45.

let alone the victim who

:03:46.:03:49.

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

:03:50.:03:52.

That is why I have organised this event.

:03:53.:03:56.

Sarah is sharing her story at the event, she is determined

:03:57.:03:59.

to keep speaking out for those suffering in silence.

:04:00.:04:08.

More than 100 jobs are to go at Caterpillar's plant

:04:09.:04:10.

In all, 113 workers have agreed to take

:04:11.:04:13.

voluntary redundancy at its Desford site.

:04:14.:04:15.

The firm says the latest cuts have been caused by a recent

:04:16.:04:18.

Canadian-owned Bombardier is to cut 7,500 jobs worldwide.

:04:19.:04:24.

While the RMT union says the site won't be facing cuts,

:04:25.:04:31.

a spokesman for Bombardier has said no formal announcement has yet been

:04:32.:04:34.

The boss of a knitwear firm that's taken over a school in Derbyshire

:04:35.:04:42.

says he hopes it'll be a new beginning for

:04:43.:04:45.

Last year, the former Alfreton Grange Arts College

:04:46.:04:48.

was at the centre of an industrial dispute.

:04:49.:04:52.

But from this term, it's got a new sponsor

:04:53.:04:54.

November last year, strikes by teachers at Alfreton Grange

:04:55.:05:02.

showed how the institution, staff and

:05:03.:05:03.

Now it has all changed, a new name, new trust

:05:04.:05:08.

and even a new building is

:05:09.:05:10.

underway to replace the battered 1950s

:05:11.:05:12.

buildings currently housing the 850 pupils.

:05:13.:05:18.

For 55 years, it has employed people locally.

:05:19.:05:25.

We have very good local people and the whole local economy is

:05:26.:05:28.

We have taken the view we will never be

:05:29.:05:32.

here for another 55 years if we do not have

:05:33.:05:34.

well-educated children coming into the labour market.

:05:35.:05:37.

This term saw a new head teacher come

:05:38.:05:43.

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

:05:44.:05:49.

The government has provided ?50 million for a new

:05:50.:05:52.

building but the pupils say it is more than that.

:05:53.:05:54.

It is a fresh start, new name, new teachers, new uniform, a

:05:55.:05:57.

I'm quite excited, especially going into a nice new

:05:58.:06:00.

Can a company like yours move into the education business?

:06:01.:06:08.

We're not moving into the education business

:06:09.:06:10.

but we are providing the

:06:11.:06:11.

leadership and guidance and we have been fortunate to recruit an

:06:12.:06:14.

excellent team of trustees, bringing in really good educational

:06:15.:06:16.

The weekend's officially here, and so is Kay -

:06:17.:06:40.

Some spells of sunshine and just the chance of the odd shower. Overnight,

:06:41.:06:51.

we will seize thickening cloud which will break up in the early hours of

:06:52.:06:56.

the morning. Temperatures down to 7 degrees. Myths, low cloud will lift

:06:57.:07:04.

and the cloud will break with bright spells. The risk of an odd shower.

:07:05.:07:12.

Most of us will remain dry tomorrow. A gentle breeze from the east. The

:07:13.:07:17.

winds will become more easterly as we head through Sunday. A great

:07:18.:07:21.

start to the day but it will brighten. 11 degrees. We hold onto

:07:22.:07:28.

high pressure for next week. A lot of settled weather to come.

:07:29.:07:32.

sunshine to be enjoyed. Louise Lear has the national forecast now

:07:33.:07:36.

though. Good evening. Heading off to bed

:07:37.:07:41.

wondering what is in store for the weekend? Pretty much what we have

:07:42.:07:44.

seen this week. Today we had a fair amount of cloud around and a few

:07:45.:07:48.

showers coming in off the North Sea coast. Topping and tailing the

:07:49.:07:51.

country, there was some beautiful spells of sunshine. It was glorious

:07:52.:07:55.

in the Shetland aisles this afternoon and down towards Cornwall

:07:56.:08:04.

as well. As for the weekend, it could start off on a chilly note

:08:05.:08:06.

with some patchy fog and frost, but then hopefully we should see some

:08:07.:08:09.

sunny spells coming through. The showers always likely to be out

:08:10.:08:13.

towards the east. The showers continuing this evening and

:08:14.:08:16.

overnight. Further west under clearer skies yet again, we could

:08:17.:08:19.

see the temperatures falling away and we could see some patchy fog

:08:20.:08:22.

which may well be slow to lift away first thing. In rural parts,

:08:23.:08:27.

temperatures will dip close to freezing so it's going to be a

:08:28.:08:33.

chilly start to Saturday morning, particularly if the fog lifts

:08:34.:08:36.

slowly. A scattering of

:08:37.:08:37.
