And now the news for the East Midlands, | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
Plans have been revealed which could lead to fracking | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
in Sherwood Forest within 200m of Major Oak. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Documents obtained by Friends of the Earth show that a chemical | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
company wants to carry out seismic surveys to see | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
Quentin Rayner joins us now from the newsroom. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
These plans have been disclosed through a Freedom of Information | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
They show that the multinational chemical company INEOS appears | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
to have agreed terms with the Forestry Commission | :00:45. | :00:45. | |
to carry out seismic surveys in Sherwood Forest and other sites | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
This would involve putting charges in the ground to establish | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
if there is any gas in the rock below which could be | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Now these tests could take place within 200 metres of the forest's | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
most famous attraction, the 1,000 year old Major Oak tree. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
The core of Sherwood Forest is a Site of Special Scientific | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
Interest and Friends of the Earth fear the seismic surveys alone | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
could damage the ancient woodland and its wildlife. | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
Anti-fracking groups in the area fear that if fracking | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
ultimately takes place, it could lead to the decimation | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
of the forest; increase the number of earthquakes in the surrounding | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
area; disrupt the water table and vastly worsen traffic levels. | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
They intend to make it a rallying point by generating an international | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
campaign opposing the plans starting this Saturday | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
What has been the response from INEOS? | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
The company is reported as saying that no decision on fracking under | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
Sherwood Forest has been taken and any positioning of a well site | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
will take into account environmental features such as Major Oak. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
It says only if the seismic tests are positive will it consider | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
drilling horizontally and fracking for shale gas. | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
An East Midlands hospital trust has started a campaign to reduce | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Falls remain a major cause of injury and death amongst | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
the over 70's and cases rise during the Winter months. | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
Our health correspondent Rob Sissons reports. | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
He's been looked after at Nottinghamshire's | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
He'd been going downstairs. It took seconds. | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
Four steps from the bottom, | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
Did I use the handrail coming down stairs? | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
No. Walking down, yes, and that were it. | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
At Kings Mill, they could see up to 400 hip fracture cases from falls | :02:44. | :02:53. | |
each year. Numbers are rising | :02:54. | :02:54. | |
To prevent them, doctors recommend people check their home for hazards, | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
They recommend regular exercise, say eat well, | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
and get medical help early for problems that | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
and they say it's important to keep warm this winter. | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
The impact of hip fractures on people's lives can | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
be devastating. It can leave long-term consequences. | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
About 65% of patients who develop hip fractures | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
Doctors now operate soon possible following | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
hip fractures as the latest evidence shows it can improve recovery and | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
reduce patients' length of stay in hospital. | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Police say the death of a man in Leicester this morning | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
A body was found on Suffolk Street in Evington just after six o'clock. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
His death is currently being treated as unexplained. | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
But roads in the area have now been reopened, while police | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
Police have confirmed two officers were injured following a failed | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
They were called to the Nationwide Building Society in Borrowash | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
just after 4am yesterday, after reports of a break in. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
As the officers arrived at the scene, | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
The gang then escaped in an Audi 4x4 which sped off | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Protests have taken place at railway stations in Nottinghamshire | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
and Derbyshire this morning over rising fares. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
This protest in Derby is one of 100 taking | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
with Action for Rail saying passengers are paying more for less. | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
The government says it's investing billions in the rail network, | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
but commuters we spoke to aren't happy. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
It is what it is, you have to put up with it. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
There's nothing you can do about it, so there's no point being upset. | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
considering the services have deteriorated. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Salaries these days are not increasing, mine hasn't increased. | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
Every year, every January we have the same | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
problem, and it doesn't mean necessarily that our | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
wages are increasing, we're just trying to get to work. | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
The new Rushcliffe Arena opened its doors to the public this morning. | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
Plans for the state-of-the-art facility were approved back in 2014, | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
but in September 2015 as work began, it was damaged in an arson attack. | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
At 6:30 this morning, gym-goers were welcomed | :05:23. | :05:36. | |
into the new ?15 million building, which includes a 25m pool, | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
squash courts and fitness studios. | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
Rushcliffe Borough Council have also relocated offices to the site. | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
It's been a bumper year for babies born at Twycross Zoo. | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
Their annual stock take of animals has just started. | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
The official census is used by zoos round the world | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
to look at the potential for breeding endangered species. | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
Jo Healey reports from the zoo's new gibbon forest. | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
you just want to see the baby animals. | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
But let's meet Zac, first of all. His job is to count all the animals. | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
How do you manage it with these guys who are swinging | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
It can be quite challenging, but you just have to wait for them | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
to sit still for a bit and quickly count as fast as you can. | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
And how many babies have there been this year, Zac? | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
There's been 41 in total, which is actually a fantastic | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
Two of the highlights include Amur leopards, | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
one of the most endangered big cat species in the world, we had a baby | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
We're the only zoo in the UK to hold that species, | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
so it was a very special moment for us. | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
So these guys are getting interested in what we're doing here. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
How many animals have you had in total, | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
I've finished counting these final three now, and I can put them | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
onto our final tally, and we actually have 545 individuals | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
Now, these animals go on to a global database, don't they? | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
We pool all our information together on this global database, | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
so that the breeding programmes can keep track of how populations | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
are changing within zoos, the researchers can utilise that | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
data on there, and it's making a positive impact on how zoos | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
And is it ultimately to save endangered species? | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
Absolutely. All the information for the captive | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
breeding programmes that we report to comes directly from that animal | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
OK, Zak, well, I'll leave you to carry on counting, | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
and he does tell me that next year they are expecting even more babies! | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
A bigger bumper crop, here at Twycross zoo. | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
The weather today has been gradually changing throughout the morning and | :07:32. | :07:46. | |
we had the most amazing sunrise first captured by Maggie T, one of | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
our Weather Watchers in east leak. Cloud increasing due to a weather | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
front sitting across the northern parts of the country. It isn't a | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
bruising lots of rain at the moment but will start to offer a bit patchy | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
light rain as we head through the afternoon and into the early | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
evening, and quite a cold day, a cold night last night, and daytime | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
temperatures this afternoon a maximum of six Celsius. Through the | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
evening and overnight, cloud staying with us, should turn to frost but a | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
Kubrick breaks though, particularly in the east with the opportunity for | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
a patch lead light rain in the early hours, night-time temperatures at | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
four Celsius. To my morning that the weather front continue southwards, | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
clearest skies behind, at a lovely bright day on Wednesday, albeit | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
quite chilly. Some wintry sunshine out there, and again temperature is | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
maybe close to six or seven Celsius for tomorrow. Heading to Thursday, | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
widespread hard frost then, things cladding over by Friday with the | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
chance of rain. a world record breaker | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
from Nottingham will be making yet another journey to join us | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
on East Midland's Today later. Kajsa Tylen set off on her bike | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
on the first of January 2016, Pedalling throughout the UK | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
and Europe, she's set a new world record for female riders, | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
breaking Billie Flemming's record She wanted to inspire others | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
to do more exercise. We will meet her at 6:30pm. Hope you | :09:13. | :09:23. | |
can join us then. That's it for now. Panorama investigates | :09:24. | :09:45. | |
