Tonight, the tiny babies who are beating the odds. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Well, take a deep breath, we may have found | :00:09. | :00:20. | |
Anything which helps promote electric vehicles as not milk-float | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
stereotypes has got to be a good thing. | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
How this from Derbyshire hill farmer became | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
We're in Nottingham to bring you the stories | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
This is Inside Out for the East Midlands. | :00:42. | :00:58. | |
Tiny infants, born months before their | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
due date and so underdeveloped that they are unable to breathe, | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
New treatments which are being tested here in the East | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
Midlands mean more are now surviving against the odds. | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
But pushing back the boundaries comes with huge | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
costs, not just for the NHS, but often for the long-term health of | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Harry was born four months before his due date at | :01:24. | :01:34. | |
Bred when she started having contractions, I was on the floor | :01:35. | :01:52. | |
crying. Because they tell you truthfully how it is. | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
He weighed just under a pound, less than half a bag of sugar. | :01:55. | :02:07. | |
He was really tiny. His skin was really delicate. It was almost | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
see-through. Every week, every day, | :02:15. | :02:15. | |
a baby spends in his mother's womb, So when it is thrust into the world | :02:16. | :02:24. | |
before it is ready, the baby faces Every day or week the baby stays | :02:25. | :02:47. | |
inside its mother's stomach, they develop more. Everything the | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
chewers. They're much more likely to survive in are born. They also get | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
more anti-infection factors from the mother so they are able to fight | :02:59. | :02:59. | |
mother so they are able to fight things off. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
babies are improving their chances of survival. | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
It means they can tackle some of the heart and bowel | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
And trials in Leicester and Nottingham are changing | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
We give babies a protein found naturally in breast milk and we know | :03:19. | :03:32. | |
that it helps to fight infection and it improves immunity and we know it | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
can help with the maturation in the gut. So makes it easier for them to | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
tolerate being fed. it and that has now | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
risen to around 80%. Survival rates are | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
improving every year. Leon is one of the lucky babies | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
to benefit from He arrived almost three months | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
earlier and has already survived several | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
life-threatening traumas. He is being treated and he is the | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
baby who is clinically stable. Doctors are now so worried | :04:04. | :04:18. | |
about his bowels, they've decided to A generation ago, he would | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
have had to survive on sugared water and may | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
not have recovered. We were concerned there may be some | :04:25. | :04:35. | |
kind of infection, so in this situation, is getting a special | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
nutritional fluid where we can give him a carbohydrates, protein, | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
liquids, all signs of -- kinds of vitamins and micro elements. They | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
said there were going to stop feeding him for a week, but they | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
don't do anything to hurt him, they want to help him. Everyday is like a | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
roller-coaster, one day we just have a cuddle and on other days, he asked | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
to stay in the incubator. -- he has to stay in the incubator. | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
I wasn't sure if she was going to live. | :05:17. | :05:29. | |
Like all babies of that age, she could not breathe, swallow or | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
cry and had to be fed through a vein. | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
It was hard yesterday and there have been days when I've walked in here | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
and she was being helped to breed. -- brief. | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
New treatments like these to check for and prevent | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
blindness are helping to limit disabilities. | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
Some babies they are so weak even though nurse was a minister | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
breathing. no attempt was made | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
to resuscitate extremely | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
premature babies. Neonatal units were basic | :06:07. | :06:07. | |
and so was the treatment. This one has to be given nourishment | :06:08. | :06:17. | |
with a feeder like a fountain pen filler. Surely it is born, the | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
weaker is its hold on life and the greater its helplessness. | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
reached the viable limit for human life. | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
Survival rates may be improving, but there are still | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
I fear we are probably at the limit of where we will go with the | :06:39. | :06:47. | |
smallest babies. I don't think that is necessarily right. It's more | :06:48. | :06:56. | |
about how we can improve the quality of the survival. We just need to get | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
a gas. New research shows that many | :07:05. | :07:26. | |
premature babies also have mental and behavioural | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
problems as they get older. The most common difficulty a | :07:29. | :07:42. | |
premature baby will face as it gets old are in the areas of cognition. | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
Difficulties with memory, thinking, problem solving and particular | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
difficulties with attention. Also, social and emotional problems and | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
those kind of problems have a major impact on how children perform at | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
school. born at 23 weeks survive | :07:58. | :07:57. | |
and few babies born so early will go | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
on to lead a healthy life. Because so many face | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
lifelong complications, some doctors question the financial | :08:05. | :08:05. | |
cost of treating them. Intel is care is expensive, so | :08:06. | :08:18. | |
intensive care in this hospital costs about a day per cot. So if | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
you're testing a new cancer treatment, you ask what the cost of | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
it is and how many years extra life will give someone, quality added | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
life. We are one of the bully specialties where you can get an | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
entire lifetime. Further baby does well, and they go home and they have | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
a normal life, that you have gained a huge amount and that has to be | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
offset against the cost upward. He's just reached his | :08:46. | :08:46. | |
due date and he has gone home weighing | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
seven-and-a-half pounds. It was quite scary to watch. But | :08:51. | :09:11. | |
they were doing the best for him and without the help, he would not be | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
here. They can do amazing things these days. 20 years ago maybe, you | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
would not have been here. And in the same week, | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
Leon has recovered from his bowel complications | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
and has left hospital. We are really, really happy to get | :09:26. | :09:40. | |
him home with us. We don't have to go to hospitals, so it is easier for | :09:41. | :09:48. | |
us. Life is easier. How is he? He is very good. He doesn't sleep at | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
night, but that's normal apparently. He's a good boy. In the unit, you | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
will see picture boards with pictures of children going to school | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
and children going on get their degree at University that were | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
ex-patient's ear. Whilst there is a lot to lose and they can be a very | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
emotional place from our point of view, there's also the most to gain. | :10:13. | :10:22. | |
And a huge thank you to the medical staff and parents who allowed us to | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
It's estimated that air pollution is responsible | :10:26. | :10:35. | |
for shortening our lives in the UK by six months, and even | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
worse, Nottingham is one of the cities with the dirtiest air. | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
Determined to clean up its act, the UK's first priority lane for | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
ultralow emission vehicles will soon open here. | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
Simon Hare has been investigating if it will work and | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
what we can learn from our neighbours in Norway. | :10:55. | :11:03. | |
Imagine going out to your car each morning and and the tank is full and | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
all at a fraction of the cost of the traditional petrol | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
Well, that is the reality for Simon MacArthur. | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
He's taking me for a driving his Tesla model S. | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
It is my first ever time an electric car. | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
It is quite an expensive car, but the savings I am making from the | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
fuel, the fact that there is no road tax - there were some tax | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
benefits from purchasing it through my company - | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
the stars aligned and it seemed like a great choice. | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
Not only do get something that's really nice | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
to drive, really nifty, but you also get something that is putting | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
Yes, by NOT putting something into the environment. | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
In the past, drivers in the UK were encouraged to buy diesel cars. | :11:53. | :12:03. | |
But now we're being told they're having big impact | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
What reaction did you get from family and friends | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
Did everyone think you were about to start hugging trees? | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
But the first sort of office joke was, | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
you're driving around in a milk float. | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
It got pretty thin that particular joke, but it soon | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
disappeared when they tried to race me away from a set | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
It does make a big difference, your peer group and what | :12:30. | :12:45. | |
But attitudes are changing. Nottingham City Council | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
It is building the UK's first so-called | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
As well as buses, the extra lane in either direction | :12:57. | :13:06. | |
on the A612 will be for ultralow emission vehicles like Simon's | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
Why is Nottingham at the forefront of this? | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
Well, we'll know that air is becoming of | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
increasing concern and it is the health | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
risk around emissions, so we | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
think initiatives like this will encourage people to buy greener | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
vehicles and that way we will improve the air we breathe. | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
So the idea being, people coming in from | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
the eastern side of Nottingham, stuck in the middle | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
and the look at these electric cars flying into town, | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
they will think, I will have one of those instead. | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
It will mean they get to their destination at little bit | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
Just incentivising people to get these cleaner vehicles which to | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
But some campaigners are worried if electric | :14:03. | :14:17. | |
cars take off here, the | :14:18. | :14:18. | |
knock-on effect could be congested bus lanes. | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
This scheme could be a victim of its own success. | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
So if it succeeds and attracts very large | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
numbers of electric cars, then of course | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
the lane will clog up and the | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
And the idea is really to persuade others to | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
In here in Norway, they've been encouraging | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
I've come to the capital Oslo which is also known as the world where | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
Christina, here we have a typical scene in Oslo. | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
Cars at the side of the road being charged up. | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
The charges here are more or less full | :15:03. | :15:04. | |
There are more than a thousand of these charging points in | :15:05. | :15:15. | |
the city where drivers can plug in free. | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
The latest example of how city officials are making it cheaper | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
Local pollution is a big problem in a lot of cities. | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
Here in Oslo, they even banned diesel | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
vehicles from the city centre for a day when | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
pollution levels go dangerously high. | :15:36. | :15:44. | |
Norway is now helping the shift to happen faster, which is | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
Tax and road toll breaks, plus access to bus lanes at | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
peak times, such as Nottingham's proposed eco-expressway, have also | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
helped sales of new plug-in cars to rise. | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
So fast, in fact, they're on the verge of overtaking petrol | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
I've come to meet the man who is the driving | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
And he supports what is being done in the East | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
Congratulations to Nottingham, because that is a good | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
Actually, we did the same, and I can assure you it is a | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
fantastic feeling driving in from the suburbs in the morning and | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
seeing the queue just standing close to you. | :16:32. | :16:48. | |
But remember that warning from the Nottingham | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
Well, there are now so many electric vehicles | :16:51. | :16:52. | |
here in Oslo, by the bus lanes have become congested as well. | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
At the moment, you have to be two people in | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
an electric vehicle during the rush hour. | :16:59. | :16:59. | |
That started late last year and we can seat is getting better so | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
at the moment, more and more people are driving together and a good | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
It is between seven and nine o'clock. | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
What do I do, I take my wife to work. | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
It's nice to use this lane, but I don't think we will have | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
its a very long time, because there aren't so many | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
electric cars in Oslo we are occupying the lane for the | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
buses and that was not the intention. | :17:29. | :17:44. | |
What lessons can Nottingham learn from Oslo? | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
There have been problems with bus lanes getting clogged | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
Yes, but they're probably quite far off that situation in Nottingham, | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
but first of all, I think it's good that they do this. | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
It's those incentives that make the shift | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
I think people who are sceptical about electric cars haven't tried | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
So with that, the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Owners' Association | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
is letting me take one of its cars for a ride. | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
Despite the concerns of my cameraman. | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
When pulling into that lane, I initially failed to | :18:19. | :18:29. | |
It just happened to belong to the National | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
But apart from my bad driving, I soon forgot there was | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
anything different about WHAT I was driving. | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
Of course, one electric car will not save our world, because there | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
are other problems with smog and other things. | :18:52. | :18:53. | |
I just enjoy driving this car, it is quiet, fast and electric! | :18:54. | :19:10. | |
Finally tonight, from a humble hill farm in North Derbyshire to the head | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
of MI6, Maurice Oldfield's career reads like a work of dramatic | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
Through an uncanny ability to read the next moves of his | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
rivals, he became one of the most respected | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
figures in the history of | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
But as I've been discovering, it was his | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
own final career move that meant, for Maurice, that there was | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
It's 1979, the height of the Cold War and a new BBC drama has | :19:32. | :19:47. | |
I've got a story to tell you and it's all about spies. | :19:48. | :19:58. | |
And our story is all about spies, too. | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
So how did Maurice Oldfield, born and brought up | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
in this tiny Derbyshire village, end up becoming head of MI6 and the | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
inspiration for Alec Guinness as George Smiley? | :20:11. | :20:25. | |
George Smiley, a lovely, darling man. | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
Pat Philby has lived in this village most of his life. | :20:32. | :20:41. | |
Even as a young boy, Pat says Maurice | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
had the makings of a tactical genius. | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
Even at the junior school in the village, he was always the leader. | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
He thought of all the ideas, all the scams and things. He made the | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
bullets and gobby overlaps to fire them. And even in those days, you | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
realised just how intelligent he was. | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
The school he went to was a two-mile walk each way. | :21:13. | :21:21. | |
But, as it turned out, Maurice Oldfield was | :21:22. | :21:23. | |
His reward for this academic brilliance was a place at | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
It was while studying there that he started | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
doing security work in the Middle East, | :21:38. | :21:38. | |
from Manchester University would still have been something of an | :21:39. | :21:54. | |
outsider inside the service. Most of them came from Oxbridge. | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
But Maurice Oldfield and spy work proved an excellent | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
Bred academic qualities suited the work he was doing and I think he did | :22:01. | :22:14. | |
quite close, it intends intelligence information, collecting and shifting | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
information and deciding what was relevant and what was not. | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
It was such a good fit that he rose to | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
When anybody achieves chief inside MI6, they've done exceptionally | :22:21. | :22:33. | |
well, because often, it is riven by factions. There are other officers | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
who wants to get to the top but he achieved it. He got up the greasy | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
pole as it were. And he made it. That is a very difficult thing to | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
do. But this bookish, quiet | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
character became an Alec Guinness won worldwide | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
critical acclaim as But first the actor | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
needed inspiration. He died of a heart attack after a | :22:58. | :23:07. | |
long illness through most of which it continue to work. | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
great-nephew and has written a book about him. | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
He says Maurice first met Sir Alec Guinness at a dinner | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
with the author who originally invented Smiley and | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
wrote Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, John Le Carre. | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
They got there before him and they were chatting away and when the | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
author arrived, the first remark that Maurice Oldfield made was, I | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
think he's been over doing all this spy nonsense, don't you? And Alec | :23:33. | :23:41. | |
Guinness says, oh, I quite agree. He observed Maurice Oldfield very | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
carefully, what he was drinking, how we acted and talked. And he stood | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
and watched to see how we walked in he left the restaurant. | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
It was a big challenge at a difficult time. | :23:51. | :24:02. | |
The Guy Burgess affair has great issues of delicacy. The Russians | :24:03. | :24:14. | |
knew properly every MI6 officer there was another 1950s and the | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
early 1960s. And that caused great problems with intelligence | :24:20. | :24:20. | |
cooperation with the Americans. Seen from the outside, this is one | :24:21. | :24:36. | |
of the big achievements in intelligence. | :24:37. | :24:37. | |
He was a busy man, obviously being the head of MI6, and when he got in | :24:38. | :24:48. | |
the local pub, he was always chatty, the local pub, he was always chatty, | :24:49. | :24:55. | |

scraping or anything like that. was about to retire, | :25:14. | :25:15. | |

security and intelligence He described it as the most | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
miserable time of his career. He wasn't just | :25:25. | :25:36. | |
miserable, those years were to haunt Maurice | :25:37. | :25:38. | |
Oldfield's legacy. Then newspaper stories | :25:39. | :25:39. | |
began to emerge saying he had been involved in abuse | :25:40. | :25:43. | |

Belfast, heavily guarded. He did not drive, he had no licence. He was | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
escorted round with two carloads of bodyguards. So his freedom of | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
movement was very limited. Of course, he was protected all the | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
way. If he had been going to anywhere like Kincora, those | :26:40. | :26:41. | |
bodyguards would have known exactly where he was. | :26:42. | :26:43. | |
Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry, which examined child | :26:44. | :26:48. | |

Oldfield's connections to Kincora have no substance. | :26:57. | :26:59. | |

started all the rumours, which I think has been proved, were not | :27:16. | :27:16. | |

hard work and talent. I think he was an astonishing | :27:25. | :27:36. | |
character. To have come from way he did and achieve all he did. I think | :27:37. | :27:45. | |
everybody was very proud. Let's face it, it is not everybody rises to be | :27:46. | :27:47. | |
the head of MI6. it is the fun-loving | :27:48. | :27:48. | |
