:00:06. > :00:11.This is East Midlands Today. Tonight, a coroner condemned as the
:00:11. > :00:14.catalogue of failures that amounted to neglect.
:00:14. > :00:20.19-year-old testy killed herself after absconding from a psychiatric
:00:20. > :00:25.unit -- 19-year-old Kirsty. It is very upsetting to know that she may
:00:25. > :00:30.be alive. I am at East Midlands Airport
:00:30. > :00:33.looking at the government's security restrictions on the parcel
:00:33. > :00:38.company UPS. After the last billion pounds
:00:38. > :00:43.contract, it demands for the PM to explain. Absolutely devastating
:00:43. > :00:47.that the city has lost his contract. I am puzzled and bewildered about
:00:47. > :00:57.wide. And an amazing tropical wander
:00:57. > :01:06.
:01:06. > :01:10.Good evening. First, the neglect that contributed to the death of a
:01:10. > :01:13.teenage mental health patients. A A coroner detailed a whole series
:01:13. > :01:17.of failings today by the NHS that played a part in Kirsty Brookes
:01:17. > :01:25.taking her own life. Her father has said that his beautiful daughter
:01:25. > :01:28.had been badly let down. Kirsty Brookes might still be alive
:01:28. > :01:34.today if procedures and protocols had only been followed. She was
:01:34. > :01:37.supposed to be looked after at Leicester's Bradgate Unit but she
:01:37. > :01:42.was not properly supervised. There was poor communication between
:01:42. > :01:46.staff and almost a year to be based in she absconded from the unit and
:01:46. > :01:54.took their own life, it is all very difficult for her family.
:01:54. > :01:58.needed help. She did not quite get the help that she required.
:01:58. > :02:02.coroner outlined a series of failings. She recorded a verdict
:02:02. > :02:06.that Kirsty Brookes took her own life in part due to neglect. She
:02:06. > :02:11.said she was still concerned about staffing levels at the unit and
:02:11. > :02:21.would be writing to the NHS trust involved. All I could have hoped
:02:21. > :02:26.for, that any other family and suffering with a friend or relative
:02:26. > :02:31.will benefit from the outcome of this. Kirsty's family know she got
:02:31. > :02:35.out of the psychiatric unit because of a design flaw on a garden gate.
:02:35. > :02:39.It has now been changed and security fencing increased. Police
:02:39. > :02:44.were alerted when she vanished but the risk was not braided properly.
:02:44. > :02:48.She was found dead near a shopping centre the next day. The NHS says
:02:48. > :02:53.that changes have been made on the ward. It was a brand new unit with
:02:53. > :02:57.only 18 beds. We have bench marked our staffing numbers against
:02:57. > :03:01.national standards. We have introduced matrons. As the coroner
:03:01. > :03:08.has highlighted, we still may have problems in relation to responding
:03:08. > :03:14.to a more immediate needs. We propose to look at that. Kirsty's
:03:14. > :03:24.father paid a moving tribute to his daughters. Beautiful, a gem of a
:03:24. > :03:28.
:03:28. > :03:32.person. Behind, -- kind, considerate. Kirsty's passion was
:03:32. > :03:36.dance and a Leicester studio has been named in her memory.
:03:36. > :03:40.We had in the report that there are concerns about the level of
:03:40. > :03:44.staffing. When will that be addressed? Following the very sad
:03:44. > :03:47.tragedy involving someone so young, you can only imagine what a
:03:47. > :03:52.priority it is to try and sort these things out. I think it will
:03:52. > :03:59.be sorted out. The letter has yet to arrive with the NHS from the
:03:59. > :04:03.coroner. When it comes to staffing, it is when the patient's
:04:03. > :04:08.vulnerability changes that they need to change the staffing levels.
:04:08. > :04:12.That is taking place against pressures within the NHS. I am
:04:12. > :04:16.pretty sure it will be sorted out as soon as possible. Thank you very
:04:16. > :04:20.much. Next, the government has stopped
:04:20. > :04:25.the air freight carrier UPS from screening cargo at some of its
:04:25. > :04:29.sites because it security arrangements are not up to scratch.
:04:29. > :04:33.Last year, the so-called ink cartridge bombs were found at the
:04:33. > :04:38.company's facilities at East Midlands Airport.
:04:38. > :04:42.I stood in this very spot last October during what was an
:04:42. > :04:48.extraordinary security breach. After the police operating on a tip
:04:48. > :04:54.off from the Saudi authorities removed A-bomb from a UPS flight
:04:54. > :04:56.that had landed at East Midlands Airport from start a Department of
:04:56. > :05:02.Transport have confirmed that they have restricted the number of sites
:05:02. > :05:07.in the UK at which UPS are permitted to screen it air cargo
:05:07. > :05:10.until they say they are satisfied that current security requirements
:05:10. > :05:15.are met. The company says that it has come
:05:15. > :05:20.about after a scheduled audit. They saved that as a result of that,
:05:20. > :05:25.some of their facilities have been taken off-line. They say that a
:05:25. > :05:29.direct result is that some of their packages will be delayed although
:05:29. > :05:34.they have contingency plans to put the screening the through a third
:05:34. > :05:37.party at some facilities. The detail is still fairly sketchy. For
:05:37. > :05:42.security reasons, neither the Department for Transport or UPS
:05:42. > :05:47.will tell us exactly which locations these restrictions apply
:05:47. > :05:53.to. Certainly, they are ongoing. The Department for Transport says
:05:53. > :05:57.that their prime objective is to ensure that passengers are safe. Of
:05:57. > :06:01.course, this all comes after a new security measures regarding air
:06:01. > :06:06.freight came into force in November last year, which followed on from
:06:06. > :06:10.the investigation after the suspect package was found at East Midlands
:06:10. > :06:13.Airport. UPS says that they have their contingency plans in place
:06:13. > :06:17.and they are working with the Department for Transport to meet
:06:17. > :06:27.their security demands and they hope it will be business as normal
:06:27. > :06:32.early next week. Sally will be along later turning
:06:32. > :06:40.the air blue. The weather is definitely turning a deeper shade
:06:40. > :06:50.of blue as we go through the next few hours. It is wet, windy, I will

:07:32. > :07:35.he is outraged that a billion pound plus order for new trains for the
:07:35. > :07:40.North South Thameslink route through London has not gone to
:07:40. > :07:44.Bombardier, Britain's only remaining train maker. It is so
:07:44. > :07:49.serious that only a meeting with David Cameron will do in my view.
:07:49. > :07:57.It is amazing how 90% of trains operating in Germany are built in
:07:57. > :08:02.Germany. 91% in Spain, and 100% of French operating trains are built
:08:02. > :08:06.in France. You have got to wonder how this goes along with the Prime
:08:06. > :08:12.Minister's rebalancing of the UK economy. There are some questions
:08:12. > :08:18.to be asked. Rail historian George Revill says that uncertainty now
:08:18. > :08:22.hangs over the future of the carriage works in Derby just as
:08:22. > :08:25.rail travel worldwide is expanding. Rail is becoming a much more
:08:25. > :08:31.popular form of transport. It seems to me a great shame that Derby
:08:31. > :08:35.would lose its stake in what should be a very prosperous future.
:08:35. > :08:41.Siemens, the Thames in a preferred bidder, say they will prefer --

:08:55. > :08:59.of the trains. Around 600 will be in the supply chain. Back in Derby,
:08:59. > :09:05.business and council leaders hope that to let signs do not go up on
:09:05. > :09:12.Bombardier. They hope that it will be able to keep going until they

:09:16. > :09:20.In other news, police were called to Leicester General Hospital this
:09:20. > :09:25.morning after reports of an armed man at the site. A member of the
:09:25. > :09:29.public called the police at 8:45am and reported seeing a man with a

:10:13. > :10:17.confirmed he would face no further action over a 29-year-old woman's
:10:17. > :10:21.allegations which she had always vigorously denied. I am really
:10:21. > :10:25.pleased to be back in North West Leicestershire on constituency work
:10:25. > :10:30.after a week which has been extremely difficult and an
:10:30. > :10:34.unwarranted distraction from my work as an MP. It has not been the
:10:34. > :10:39.best week of my life, extremely stressful, but with the support of
:10:39. > :10:43.constituents, friends and colleagues, we have got through it.
:10:43. > :10:48.More on the financial crisis facing Leicester's hospitals. The chief
:10:48. > :10:52.executive has suggested that big Trust's financial position is so
:10:52. > :10:59.big that staff might not get paid. He warns that salaries could fail
:10:59. > :11:03.to reach pay packets as early as August or September. The Trust is
:11:04. > :11:08.aiming to lose hundreds of posts to balance its books.
:11:08. > :11:13.If it costs millions of pounds every week to run the hospitals in
:11:13. > :11:17.Leicester but according to a leaked email by the chief executive of the
:11:18. > :11:22.University Hospitals NHS Trust, they are running out of money.
:11:23. > :11:26.overshoot on our income and expenditure lies somewhere between
:11:27. > :11:32.5 million and �6 million. That can only be described as catastrophic.
:11:32. > :11:37.He tells his staff that there is a real issue about whether we will be
:11:37. > :11:42.able to pay our staff by August or September. Unions say they are
:11:42. > :11:46.shocked by the content. We have had people on the telephone to date in
:11:46. > :11:54.tears, is my mortgage going to be paid in August? That is the kind of
:11:54. > :11:58.panic that this has caused. He owns the melt with a warning that I am
:11:58. > :12:02.writing this because I want no one to be under any illusions.
:12:02. > :12:07.understanding is that the now was only ever intended to be seen by a
:12:07. > :12:15.small group of senior managers as - - managers. It has now been
:12:15. > :12:22.circulated among hospital staff. The Trust have said that they may

:12:36. > :12:39.is warning of long-term problems in one city after funding for child
:12:39. > :12:43.support workers was withdrawn. It means there are currently no
:12:43. > :12:47.children specialists in any of Nottingham's refuges, even though

:13:01. > :13:06.workers hearing Nottingham last year with the charity Of women's
:13:06. > :13:11.Aid. There are now none left in the city. If it could mean that women
:13:11. > :13:14.will not stay, they will not stay in the refuge and children's issues
:13:15. > :13:19.around domestic violence will not be dealt with. Children are very
:13:19. > :13:24.badly affected by domestic violence, it affects their confidence, self-
:13:24. > :13:28.esteem, their view of relationships, sometimes children do not attend
:13:28. > :13:38.school. It is really important that we have children's workers to

:13:42. > :13:52.Nine out of 10 children in those households will see, or hear that

:14:11. > :14:18.to help. They do not feel like they could trust that person. They need
:14:18. > :14:24.to get things off their chest. City Council has blamed it the
:14:24. > :14:31.government's cuts. They plan to get a one chart support worker later
:14:31. > :14:36.this year. If more is not done, others will have to literally pick
:14:36. > :14:42.up the pieces. Social care may have to get more involved. Teachers may
:14:42. > :14:47.have to get more involved. There is a huge effect. Without them, they

:19:39. > :19:44.Nottinghamshire's Samit Patel will find out if he has fought his way

:19:50. > :19:55.His rehabilitation is almost complete. We meant to we -- we went
:19:55. > :20:00.to meet him. They were horrible headlines, Samit
:20:00. > :20:04.Patel's bid has cost him his England place. Six a month later
:20:04. > :20:09.the selectors are emphasising their point. He knows what is required.
:20:10. > :20:16.He has had to be message delivered by myself, and the coach. He knows
:20:16. > :20:25.what is required. It did hurt at the time. I would be lying if I
:20:25. > :20:32.said he did not hurt. You need to be fit to play cricket. As I said,
:20:32. > :20:36.my cricket has been great this year. There has never been any doubt
:20:36. > :20:44.about Patel's talent and commitment to cricket. He has been put in
:20:44. > :20:51.extra work in at the EGM. It has been paying off. 100 per the Lions
:20:51. > :20:56.means he is in their thoughts. Obviously I had fitness issues, I
:20:56. > :21:01.have rectified them. That is great for me, it has been great for me
:21:02. > :21:07.and at the club. This is where he really wants to be. With the
:21:07. > :21:11.England boys, playing Test matches. A true all-rounder if he believes
:21:11. > :21:18.that it isn't true place. Odyssey Test cricket is where I want to be,
:21:18. > :21:23.one-day cricket would take care of itself. If I get runs, and stay fit
