:00:11. > :00:15.Hello, this is East Midlands Today. Our top story - workers at
:00:15. > :00:19.Bombardier brace themselves for an imminent announcement on jobs. A
:00:19. > :00:27.mass meeting is called for the morning, amid reports that 2000
:00:27. > :00:32.jobs could go. It is the end of the railway industry in this country.
:00:32. > :00:42.In other news, shocking images of a burglary victim being attacked by
:00:42. > :00:47.armed men in his own home. I went to open the door as normal. The
:00:47. > :00:53.next minute someone was poking a gun at my stomach. A trail of
:00:53. > :01:03.devastation, a man is accused of stealing a digger and using it in a
:01:03. > :01:09.
:01:09. > :01:15.wrecking spree. And the musical Good evening. Welcome to the
:01:15. > :01:21.programme. First, there are fears that up to 2000 job losses could be
:01:21. > :01:23.at risk that the train maker Bombardier in Derby. It comes after
:01:24. > :01:28.the company lost out on the government's Thameslink rail
:01:28. > :01:33.contract which went to a German rival. Our correspondent is at
:01:33. > :01:37.Bombardier now. He can tell us more. Good evening. Staff here at
:01:37. > :01:41.Bombardier will be told about the job situation in a series of
:01:41. > :01:44.briefings tomorrow. The first of those will be to the night shift at
:01:45. > :01:51.around 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. Around 3,000 people work here, many
:01:51. > :01:54.of them feeling apprehensive. Going home after their shift, but
:01:54. > :01:58.Bombardier workers in Derby face a night of uncertainty over their
:01:58. > :02:04.future. Some reports say up to 2000 job losses could be announced
:02:04. > :02:14.tomorrow. We do not know where to go after
:02:14. > :02:20.this. A lot of people are angry now. Devastated, absolutely gutted.
:02:20. > :02:23.Bombardier lost out to its German rival Siemens last month. Trains
:02:24. > :02:29.for the �1.4 billion Thameslink contract will be built near
:02:29. > :02:33.Dusseldorf, instead of Derby. And Bombardier is running out of work.
:02:33. > :02:37.Two production lines for National Express are due to finish around
:02:37. > :02:42.now. A third production finishes next month, and a fourth in
:02:42. > :02:46.September, leaving only one line running until 2014. How many job
:02:47. > :02:51.losses will be announced tomorrow is unclear. The company will just
:02:51. > :02:56.say, there's nothing more out there, so it is not going to be a positive
:02:56. > :02:59.announcement. One employee has started a blog, and put it on
:02:59. > :03:09.Twitter it. But he says not many celebrities have taken up his
:03:09. > :03:12.campaign. They do not seem to be interested. It is a shame. I know
:03:12. > :03:18.they do not want to be campaigning all the time, but it is important
:03:18. > :03:23.to me and the people of Derby. company says its review of UK
:03:23. > :03:28.operations will not be completed until the end of the summer. It is
:03:28. > :03:33.a case of wait and see now, but one man who has been following this
:03:33. > :03:43.closely is Mark from the Unite union. You have had a series of
:03:43. > :03:43.
:03:43. > :03:50.briefings - what is your reading of it? It would be wrong for me to
:03:50. > :03:54.speculate on job losses before the announcement tomorrow. It is
:03:54. > :03:59.important that it is the company that tells its employees first and
:03:59. > :04:03.foremost. What we're going to do, however, is to continue to fight
:04:03. > :04:07.for all of the jobs on this site, and to continue to take the fight
:04:07. > :04:13.to the government, to say, they have got the decision wrong. It is
:04:13. > :04:16.too late for a U-turn, isn't it? Absolutely not. We have got a
:04:16. > :04:21.situation where we have got two government ministers cousins saying
:04:21. > :04:26.that they think they have got it wrong. We have a situation where
:04:26. > :04:30.the previous government had accepted they had got things wrong.
:04:30. > :04:38.I think we have got to make sure that every attempt is made to make
:04:38. > :04:42.sure that we keep rail manufacturing in this city. Thank
:04:42. > :04:46.you very much. That big announcement coming tomorrow. And
:04:46. > :04:50.we will have more on that in Breakfast tomorrow. Police are
:04:50. > :04:56.investigating the death of a young child in Leicester. The 10-month-
:04:56. > :05:00.old baby diet at the Leicester well Infirmary on Saturday. -- died.
:05:00. > :05:05.Police were called to the hospital on Friday afternoon after the baby
:05:05. > :05:09.was admitted with life-threatening injuries. The doctors continued to
:05:09. > :05:14.treat her, but we are told, despite their best efforts, she died the
:05:14. > :05:18.following day, on Saturday. Police say this is an ongoing of --
:05:18. > :05:25.investigation. A 22-year-old man has been arrested and released on
:05:25. > :05:29.police bail. Police have been carrying out inquiries in one area
:05:29. > :05:34.of the city. That is as much as they will tell us. A post-mortem
:05:34. > :05:37.examination has been carried out on the baby, and we're told police
:05:37. > :05:47.officers are waiting for further test results. We will keep you

:05:51. > :06:01.the atmosphere and excitement of the Olympics to children on one
:06:01. > :06:04.
:06:04. > :06:10.Before that, the dramatic moments when a man wrestled a gun from two
:06:10. > :06:14.burglars who had broken into his home, everything getting caught on
:06:14. > :06:18.CCTV. Adrian Draper had installed a security camera in his living room.
:06:18. > :06:24.He suffered bruising and head injuries in the attack. This report
:06:24. > :06:28.from James Roberson. Adrian Draper at his front door in
:06:28. > :06:33.Cotmanhay, near Ilkeston. He is now extremely wary of answering the
:06:33. > :06:40.door, as he did at about 11 o'clock on Saturday morning. Two men
:06:40. > :06:44.arriving at the house were captured on CCTV. I did not really recognise
:06:44. > :06:48.them. And then one of the was poking a gun at me. Another CCTV
:06:48. > :06:52.camera he was testing in his living room captured the fight which
:06:52. > :07:01.ensued when the two men burst in. He managed to drive them out of the
:07:01. > :07:05.living room, wrestling the gun from them... Arab -- I saw it round and
:07:05. > :07:10.caught him in the face. One of them kicked me in the face and took the
:07:10. > :07:15.gun, and then they were running off. The other camera captured the men
:07:15. > :07:18.running off, and the police arriving shortly afterwards. Adrian
:07:19. > :07:22.was treated for cuts and bruises to his face, arms and body, but did
:07:22. > :07:26.not want to go to hospital because he has an autistic daughter who had
:07:26. > :07:31.been woken up by the battle downstairs. She was frightened, she
:07:31. > :07:36.didn't know what to do. Detectives are now looking for the two
:07:36. > :07:40.assailants, who made off in an old, red car. Police have confirmed that
:07:40. > :07:44.Adrian managed to hit one of the offenders in the face, and he may
:07:44. > :07:50.now have injuries. Both men are described as white, in their early
:07:50. > :07:56.20s, about 5ft 8. One of them had curly hair and one of the was
:07:56. > :08:01.stocky. Have you any idea why this happened? I have no idea whatsoever.
:08:01. > :08:06.I wish I did. Adrian now says he will be very careful to whom he
:08:06. > :08:11.opens his door in the future. A man has appeared in court today,
:08:11. > :08:16.charged with shooting dead two ponies and a cow in the Derbyshire
:08:16. > :08:21.Peak District. It happened in Monk's Dale on Saturday. Two other
:08:21. > :08:26.ponies in the same field were unharmed. John Tibbles has been
:08:26. > :08:31.remanded in custody. The case has been adjourned until mid- July.
:08:31. > :08:34.A 16-year-old boy has been charged with drugs offences after cannabis
:08:34. > :08:38.worth an estimated �340,000 was found in a house in Nottinghamshire.
:08:38. > :08:42.Officers discovered more than 600 cannabis plants and related
:08:42. > :08:52.equipment when they raided the home off Derby Road in Bramcote on

:08:53. > :08:56.Friday. Derby's Special Care Baby Unit is
:08:57. > :09:02.remaining closed to new admissions. It had been due to reopen today.
:09:02. > :09:07.Two babies were found to be infected last month with the MSSA
:09:07. > :09:09.bug, and others had it on their skin. The Royal Derby Hospital says
:09:09. > :09:16.that neonatal unit is being deep- cleaned, and investigations are
:09:16. > :09:21.continuing. Amman who's accused of going on at
:09:21. > :09:27.wrecking spree with a �50,000 digger has been remanded in custody.
:09:27. > :09:31.Steven Regan from Leeds is said to have left a trail of destruction in
:09:31. > :09:36.Warsop. The damage included a number of smashed headstones in the
:09:36. > :09:40.cemetery. Magistrates heard it is the second digger that he has been
:09:40. > :09:43.charged with stealing in recent months. The stolen digger's journey
:09:43. > :09:48.started on Saturday evening and ended up in the Warsop cemetery a
:09:48. > :09:53.short time later, leaving a trail of disruption behind it. 34-year-
:09:53. > :09:58.old Steven Regan from Leeds is accused of stealing this telescopic
:09:58. > :10:03.forklift JCB, similar to this one, worth �50,000, and driving it
:10:03. > :10:07.across fields and hedges and into the graveyard. While it was being
:10:07. > :10:13.driven along the A60, police tried to stop him. Other drivers had to
:10:13. > :10:17.take evasive action. When it diverted into the Carrs Recreation
:10:17. > :10:21.Ground, officers warned people to get out of the way. After going
:10:21. > :10:26.across a field, it made its way into the cemetery. While there, it
:10:26. > :10:30.was driven up this access road and smashed into three headstones.
:10:30. > :10:35.Steven Regan faces three charges of criminal damage at this. After that
:10:35. > :10:39.he is said to have driven the digger up the access road towards a
:10:39. > :10:42.wrought-iron gate. Magistrates heard that when he got here, Steven
:10:42. > :10:47.Regan is said to have ploughed through the gates, completely
:10:47. > :10:53.demolishing them. He was only stopped because he got a punctured
:10:53. > :10:58.tyre, and was subdued by the police with CS spray. Steven Regan is also
:10:58. > :11:03.accused of stealing another digger in Leeds earlier this year, worth
:11:03. > :11:09.�28,000. He did not enter a plea to a total of nine charges. The cost
:11:09. > :11:14.of the repairs is expected to exceed �20,000.
:11:14. > :11:18.A new report says the Government, which saved -- the Government would
:11:18. > :11:22.save billions of pounds if it adopted an ambitious scheme similar
:11:22. > :11:26.to the one in Nottingham to help people from deprived backgrounds.
:11:26. > :11:29.The Prime Minister had asked the Nottingham North MP project to
:11:29. > :11:35.investigate how early intervention could be paid for. Today, the end
:11:36. > :11:40.PE published his findings. Here's our political editor, John Hess. If
:11:40. > :11:43.not every baby gets an equal start in life. Nottingham's early
:11:43. > :11:47.intervention it is is about giving single mums skills in nursing and
:11:47. > :11:52.parenting. The aim is to prevent a future generation going off the
:11:52. > :11:56.rails. Today, Nottingham North MP Graham Allen published the findings
:11:56. > :12:02.of how such early intervention could be rolled out nationally, and
:12:02. > :12:06.how it would be paid for. It is very much more expensive to
:12:06. > :12:11.let children go wrong and then try and put them right - teenage
:12:11. > :12:17.pregnancy, drink and drug abuse, lifetime on benefits - than it is
:12:17. > :12:24.to intervene early on. The report calls on government departments to
:12:24. > :12:27.co-ordinate intervention. It also wants �200 million to be raised
:12:27. > :12:36.from the private sector in return for a share of long-term government
:12:36. > :12:41.savings. The last Labour government showed interest in the ideas, and
:12:41. > :12:45.Conservative ministers have also supported the idea. Literally 1%
:12:45. > :12:50.should be shifted over to early intervention, is what I am
:12:50. > :12:54.suggesting. Secondly, I'm trying to draw in new funding from the
:12:54. > :13:02.private sector, from will and the PE and from ethical fund in. --
:13:02. > :13:07.from philanthropy. -- and from ethical funding. The idea is
:13:07. > :13:13.finding its feet. The question now, will be Conservative-led government
:13:13. > :13:18.want to embrace the costs involved? That's the big question, will David
:13:19. > :13:23.Cameron back this idea? Well, Graham Allen is adamant that it
:13:23. > :13:27.will save the Government lots of money. Further down the line,
:13:27. > :13:30.children will be kept out of the criminal justice system, which is
:13:30. > :13:35.so expensive. But the Prime Minister has now got three
:13:35. > :13:39.substantial report to look at, one on the future of pensions, the
:13:40. > :13:44.Dilnot inquiry into adult care, and of course these early into venture
:13:44. > :13:51.proposals. The key will be the reaction next door, as it were, in
:13:51. > :13:56.Number 11 Downing Street, the reaction of the Chancellor. Another
:13:56. > :14:02.of our senior politicians has also been getting some attention today...
:14:02. > :14:06.Yes, this story relates to the MP for Rushcliffe, Ken Clarke. He was
:14:06. > :14:13.confronted at his home over the weekend. This video was posted on
:14:13. > :14:18.the Internet by 43-year-old Garry Roe from Heanor, who says he
:14:18. > :14:21.represents New Fathers 4 Justice. He questioned Ken Clarke about the
:14:22. > :14:24.Family Justice Review, and fathers having access to their children
:14:24. > :14:29.after the break-up of a relationship. Despite being asked
:14:29. > :14:32.to stop filming on private property, Garry Roe continued for some time.
:14:32. > :14:37.Although he had gone by the time the police arrived, the Justice
:14:37. > :14:41.Secretary calmly explained what government policy was. It was not
:14:41. > :14:49.reported because it was not regarded as newsworthy. It is a
:14:49. > :14:54.perfectly open process. Kenneth Clarke will be hugely irritated by
:14:54. > :14:57.this. But it is not the first time it has happened. Back in the 1980s,
:14:57. > :15:03.he was in Mrs Thatcher's Cabinet, and he had protesters outside his
:15:03. > :15:13.home. There were nurses, fire crews and teachers. The difference now is
:15:13. > :15:14.
:15:14. > :15:19.that such protests are now seen globally on the Internet.
:15:19. > :15:26.Taxi drivers in Nottingham staged two go-slow protests today, angry
:15:26. > :15:29.about instant fines. The City is targeting taxis who spillover to
:15:29. > :15:33.pay-and-display bays. The drivers say it is unfair because there is
:15:33. > :15:39.often nowhere else to go. A line of taxi drivers making their
:15:39. > :15:44.feelings known about not being able to use double yellows or single
:15:45. > :15:53.yellows. From now on, any CAB parked outside the taxi rank could
:15:53. > :16:01.find itself out of pocket. But cabbies say it is hampering their
:16:01. > :16:11.livelihoods. They want us to drive around, but Nottingham is not a
:16:11. > :16:17.major city, we do not get hailed. start work at 9 o'clock, I go
:16:17. > :16:24.around the city getting a job, I cannot get any job. In 1997, there
:16:24. > :16:29.were 201 taxis, and the same amount of rents. Now, there are 411 taxis
:16:29. > :16:33.and the same amount of spaces. city council says the finds are
:16:33. > :16:42.necessary in order to keep traffic moving around the city. -- the
:16:42. > :16:52.fines. Still to come, the musical with a
:16:52. > :16:52.
:16:52. > :17:02.difference. That's because for most of the cast,
:17:02. > :17:02.
:17:02. > :17:06.it is something they have never actually done before. There's a
:17:06. > :17:10.change in weather, which may not be music to your ears, but the flowers
:17:10. > :17:20.will be dancing with delight. So get your brollies ready for your
:17:20. > :17:24.
:17:24. > :17:27.wet weather forecast a little later. Never mind, time for the sport now.
:17:27. > :17:31.Sport starts with football, and Nottingham Forest manager Steve
:17:31. > :17:35.McClaren has told his players he's at the club to get promotion. He
:17:35. > :17:40.called in his squad for a team meeting yesterday ahead of the
:17:40. > :17:45.start of training today, as Mark Shardlow reports. Steve McClaren is
:17:45. > :17:49.back, and this was his first look at his new players. They were soon
:17:49. > :17:54.into a game, trying to impress. What are you looking for in the
:17:54. > :18:01.first week back? Attitude, enthusiasm, willingness to work,
:18:01. > :18:10.willingness to learn. His first signing is looking shop. Andy Reid
:18:10. > :18:13.was 14 when he first joined Forest. 14 years on, he's back. I have come
:18:13. > :18:18.back to help get the club into the Premier League. I believe it has
:18:18. > :18:23.the attributes, it is a fantastic club, I know that only too well.
:18:23. > :18:31.Former Derby player Giles bowls was training, but not Robert Earnshaw,
:18:31. > :18:38.who's still in talks. We have big spenders in West Ham and Leicester,
:18:38. > :18:46.Cardiff and Birmingham. They're all spending. It is going to make it a
:18:46. > :18:50.very competitive league. So far, Andy Reid is the only signing.
:18:50. > :18:57.have worked really hard in the summer. I have done well in the
:18:57. > :19:01.tests today. I did well in the other tests that we have done.
:19:01. > :19:05.Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was observing today, he's studying for
:19:05. > :19:13.his coaching badges. The backroom team at Forest is likely to take
:19:13. > :19:15.shape as the week progresses. Leicester City appear to have
:19:15. > :19:19.missed out on signing Craig Mackail-Smith. The Peterborough
:19:19. > :19:24.striker was one of the big summer targets, but has ended up at
:19:24. > :19:29.Brighton today. However, the Foxes have signed Sean St Ledger from
:19:30. > :19:33.Preston. Reports say he will cost about �1.2 million. Notts County
:19:33. > :19:42.have compensated Barnet and admitted that making mistakes in
:19:42. > :19:46.taking manager Martin Allen. Tennis, and in case you missed it, there
:19:46. > :19:53.was double disappointment for Liam Broady at the weekend. He played
:19:53. > :19:58.some great tennis but got beaten in the final of the boys' singles. And
:19:58. > :20:03.he went out of the boys' doubles, too. It was a lot for him and his
:20:03. > :20:08.coach to build on. He will have two weeks training in Paris now, and
:20:08. > :20:12.then he will head back to Nottingham for a week, and then we
:20:12. > :20:16.will play two futures senior tournaments down in London before
:20:16. > :20:22.having another couple of weeks in Nottingham, before heading out to
:20:22. > :20:24.the US. Cricket, and it is turning into an interesting Twenty20
:20:24. > :20:29.into an interesting Twenty20 campaign. Here's how it stands
:20:29. > :20:33.after the weekend's matches, two wins for Leicestershire and knots
:20:33. > :20:43.and two defeats for Derbyshire. It means that Notts Outlaws are just
:20:43. > :20:48.one win away from confirming their place in the quarter-final.
:20:48. > :20:51.One of British sport's most famous faces has caused a stir at housing
:20:52. > :20:55.estate in the East Midlands. Linford Christie has been holding
:20:55. > :21:00.races in the street. More than a decade after his disputed positive
:21:00. > :21:05.drugs test, he still has an Olympic ban, but he's now coaching saw a
:21:05. > :21:10.top athlete and trying to find the next generation of winners. This
:21:10. > :21:16.report from Helen Barnes. He's and Olympic gold medallist. He's
:21:16. > :21:26.fantastic. He's here to inspire hundreds of local kids to get
:21:26. > :21:30.
:21:30. > :21:35.active. He needs little introduction. Streak athletics is
:21:35. > :21:44.all about just trying to get Cage engaged in sport. To get them to
:21:44. > :21:48.realise that sport can be fun. Just come out and enjoy yourself. If
:21:48. > :21:52.2012 can make the kids get out there and want to take part in some
:21:52. > :21:58.kind of sport, that's what the legacy is. Why have you come to a
:21:58. > :22:02.street like this? We try to come to the areas where no-one else comes
:22:02. > :22:12.to, where the kids feel they have not got anything. We try to show
:22:12. > :22:16.them that someone cares. Welcome to Landsdown Road Latics. It is a
:22:16. > :22:22.personal treat meeting him again. 10 years ago, when I broke the
:22:22. > :22:28.world canoe record, he was asking me questions. What are you saying
:22:28. > :22:38.to these kids today? Exactly the same as I said to do -- to you, we
