And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Dominic Heale. | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
IVF will no longer be available to certain | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
couples in Nottinghamshire, after a decision made today | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
It now means to be eligible women must be aged between 25 and 34. | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
The move follows a meeting this afternoon by the Clinical | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Commissioning Group for Mansfield and Ashfield and | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Our reporter Geeta Pendse spoke to the Chief Officer | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
It has been an extremely difficult and sensitive | :00:37. | :00:45. | |
We believe we have come to a sensible compromise based on the | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
strength of public feeling, and there were mixed views, and some | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
We believe that this is an appropriate compromise. | :00:54. | :01:05. | |
Those couples who are no longer eligible for IVF, | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
the women who are 35 and over, this will be devastating. | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
It is a sensitive and difficult decision. | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
People do already pay for their own cycles of | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
What you say to those couples who perhaps cannot | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
afford IVF treatment, not even one cycle, | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
who are 35 and above and | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
Unfortunately we recognise that this is very difficult. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
It is very unfortunate for some people, and we | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
The original plan was to save ?300,00 if | :01:40. | :01:49. | |
It is only part of the savings that we need to make. | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
We have to look at everything the area | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
of spending and prioritise it on the things we think are likely to get | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
the best chances of successful people, and that is a very difficult | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
decision and there are going to be inevitably different views. | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
A 13-year-old girl from Derby has gone missing. | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
Amber Rose Henaire-Roberts was last seen at 5 o'clock yesterday evening | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
at an address on Chester Green in the city. | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
She's 5 feet 2 inches tall and is slim with long brown wavy hair. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
She was wearing a black jacket and trainers when she went missing. | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
A man has been found guilty of the murder of a 75-year-old | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Satnam Singh was found with fatal injuries on Princes Street | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
The court heard a family dispute led 29-year-old Sujhraj Atwal to kill | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
Mr Singh in what police described as a brutal attack. | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
The man tasked by the Government with investigating the so-called | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
gig economy has been in the East Midlands today. | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
Matthew Taylor has been hearing concerns over contracts where people | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
He's leading a Government review into the practices. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
Our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, reports. | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
These days it is much more complicated. | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
Many industries rely on labour agencies which hire workers much | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
more flexibly as demand ebbs and flows. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
They are often self-employed and don't get holiday | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
The Government is concerned that some casual contracts | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
I've been on zero hours for a little while, and it's not fair. | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
Some people have to take it because there's no other choice. | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
It's not fair on those sorts of people. | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
People who've got families, people who got rent to pay, people who are | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
And that's the reason why people are being taken | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
Here at this call centre, people are ringing this | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
Listening in this lunchtime, a man who is leading a national | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
I'm worried about the fact there are people who don't know what their | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
The rules can be quite complicated and people often make mistakes | :04:11. | :04:19. | |
I want to help people have a stronger voice. | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
These are human beings and they can feel very | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
But could protecting workers mean more red | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
A question for 300 east Midlands employers at the love | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
business Expo in Donington Park today. | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
You shouldn't use a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
Where there are problems it's important they are highlighted and | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
But I think we need to recognise that businesses, | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
employers, employees, and the wider community, | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
it's in everyone's's interests to have a system that | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
Matthew Taylor is now touring the country to investigate modern | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
employment practices, and the government says his review | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
should create an economy that works for all | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
of us, and not just the privileged few. | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
Earlier I spoke to Coral Jenkins from the Unison union and asked | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
for her views on these changes to the way people work. | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
Not all of the changes are bad, but I think we need some | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
Although they may be useful for some aspects of working life, | :05:20. | :05:28. | |
it has a knock-on effect where people can't afford to live. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
They can't afford to get mortgages, and we need to have a modern review | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
of those contracts that enable people to work and live. | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
But as you suggested, many business people might argue | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
that this suits them, and it suits many | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
Short-term contracts, they start and finish | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
when they like, they can move jobs, so on and so forth. | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
It depends on where they are targeting the short-term contracts. | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
If all the jobs that are going to be on short-term contracts aren't | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
going to enable people to live, or to buy their own property, | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
then there is an issue with the types of short-term | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
contracts and the people they are being offered to. | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Do you think you we are now way past the traditional | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
image of a job, 9 to 5, a good job, a good | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
Really, this is just modern life, the 24-hour economy. | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
I think there are changes and we are getting beyond that, | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
hardly any jobs nowadays fit into the nine to five remit. | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
We need to be more flexible within how people work, | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
There needs to be a clear, modern review of the type of work | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
and the practices that are needed in the current workforce today. | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
We welcome some of the Taylor review. | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
Coral Jenkins, thank you very much indeed. | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
The number of people claiming sick pay and incapacity benefit | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
in the East Midlands is at its highest level | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
The latest figures show there are 176,000 claimants in this region. | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
That accounts for 6% of the adult population and is just below | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
According to the think-tank IPPR, just under half of those claiming | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
in the East Midlands have a mental health condition. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
A social worker has told an inquest into the death of a seven-year-old | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
girl that she was deceived by the child's aunt when she | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
Shanay Walker died in 2014 in Nottingham from a brain injury. | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
Her aunt and grandmother have both been jailed for cruelty. | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
The social worker said her assessment should have been more | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
robust and it's something she will always think about. | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
A Leicestershire Indian restaurant was shut down on the spot | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
after cockroaches were found in the kitchen. | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
The insects were discovered during an unannounced inspection | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
at Sands in Glenfield which had a level three or satisfactory | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
food hygiene rating as Amy Harris reports. | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
A kitchen infested with cockroaches, these images were captured during an | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
unannounced inspection on a busy Saturday night. | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
The Sands Indian Restaurant was full, but unknown to | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
diners, their food was being prepared among insects alive and | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
They'd not seen this before, cockroaches | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
in the kitchen is not a | :08:26. | :08:26. | |
And, obviously, we had a real problem in that it | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
They transmit, they live off organic matter, therefore their faecal | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
You can also get body parts in the food that | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
Officers also found the equipment and food preparation | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
area at the restaurant here in Glenfield were dirty. | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
It was shut down immediately and diners had | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
We have approached Sands Restaurant for comment, and as | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
But on the door is this note to customers, | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
they say they are taking all the necessary steps to ensure they | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
provide the best possible environment for their valued gusts. | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
Until the problem is completely resolved, they will remain closed. | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
They are very keen on getting the business open and running again, | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
from our point of view we will go out there | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
and revisit, advise, but | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
we will not open those premises until we are satisfied they don't | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
Subject to satisfactory reinspection is, it's thought the restaurant | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
Amy Harries, BBC East Midlands Today, Glenfield. | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
So, it's goodbye from me, but with your weather now, here's Lucy. | :09:38. | :09:46. | |
Thank you and good evening. We are sticking with those milder | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
temperatures this weekend but plenty of cloud around. This morning, a few | :09:53. | :10:00. | |
of us saw brightness. Do keep sending those in. It was a cloudy | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
story to end the day. Quite a dramatic cloud there. This evening | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
and overnight plenty of cloud around. We'll see a few outbreaks of | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
motoring, becoming increasingly later into the early hours. | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
Temperature is not going to be too cold, overnight low of five or six | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
Celsius. A little bit of hill fog as well. A mild start of the day | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
tomorrow, cloudy and grey, patches of rain and drizzle fizzle out | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
through the morning. Dry you sue the afternoon and we could see one or | :10:36. | :10:44. | |
two bright intervals particularly further to the east. Temperatures in | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
double figures, maximum of 11. A light wind as well. Saturday, some | :10:47. | :10:56. | |
bright intervals. I leave you with the outlook, Sunday looking OK, | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
of 11. Not too bad for the forthcoming weekend. Here is Nick | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
Miller with a resume of the National weather picture. | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
Hello, rain for some of us today although it won't make much of a | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
dent in the dry winter so far across much of the UK. A few threatening | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
clouds in Cumbria but more than a threat of rain across the pond for | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
Friday. The wettest weather system of the season is over heading into | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
California, and there have been a few, with copious amounts of rain | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
and lots of mountain snow. Record-breaking wet winter so far in | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
parts of California. In Los Angeles this might be conservative, 50-100 | :11:34. | :11:37. |
