:00:03. > :00:05.This is East Midlands Today with Kylie Pentelow and Dominic Heale.
:00:05. > :00:15.Our top story tonight, we reveal just how determined the power
:00:15. > :00:16.
:00:16. > :00:19.station plotters were. The armoury of an Eco protest, how climate
:00:19. > :00:21.activists equip themselves to pull the plug on our biggest power
:00:21. > :00:24.station. Also tonight, the man who fought
:00:24. > :00:32.off an attack by double killer Andrew Dawson. Then his other arm
:00:32. > :00:36.came round me in a Nelson. I stood up after that and I pulled him off
:00:36. > :00:39.me, and I said get out of my flat. Plus, bunking off - more parents
:00:39. > :00:42.are taken to court for letting their children play truant.
:00:42. > :00:52.And advice for would-be authors from a man who's sold 50 million
:00:52. > :01:01.
:01:01. > :01:04.Read, read now! Try and read 10,000 Good evening, welcome to
:01:04. > :01:08.Wednesday's programme. First tonight, an exclusive interview
:01:08. > :01:10.with Nottinghamshire police about the undercover cop affair.
:01:10. > :01:12.Yesterday, 20 climate change protesters planning to shut down
:01:12. > :01:21.Ratcliffe Power Station had their convictions overturned, because
:01:21. > :01:23.secret tapes weren't produced at their trial. Tonight, police
:01:23. > :01:29.explain why they pounced on protesters before the demo even
:01:29. > :01:37.took place and deny holding back crucial evidence in the case. Our
:01:37. > :01:40.home affairs correspondent Jeremy You only appreciate the scale of
:01:40. > :01:43.what was being planned at Ratcliffe when you see all this equipment
:01:43. > :01:48.that was seized by the police. This metal barricade's one of a
:01:48. > :01:52.staggering 25,000 items of evidence. And there were 80 climbing
:01:52. > :01:54.harnesses along with locks and power tools. The protesters were
:01:54. > :02:03.split into colour-coded teams and issued with untraceable mobile
:02:04. > :02:10.phones. It was planned with military precision. These tubes are
:02:10. > :02:15.designed for protesters to lock them souls together. And a portable
:02:15. > :02:19.ledge and look at this, a big supply of nappies, as well as these
:02:19. > :02:24.menu cards with enough meals to last them for a whole week. With
:02:24. > :02:29.the extent of what we have seen in terms of disruption, injuries
:02:29. > :02:33.caused and other demonstrations, to allow it to go ahead with the
:02:33. > :02:35.consequences for health and safety, I am not sure it would have done.
:02:35. > :02:38.One of the most experienced climbers was really a Metropolitan
:02:38. > :02:40.Police spy. But today the Appeal Court heard that Mark Kennedy
:02:40. > :02:44.supported the plan enthusiastically and was arguably an "agent
:02:44. > :02:47.provocateur". And the Lord Chief Justice said 20
:02:47. > :02:49.activists were victims of a miscarriage of justice. Because
:02:49. > :02:58.they weren't told about secret recordings made by PC Kennedy, that
:02:58. > :03:02.could have helped their defence. Obviously Mark Kennedy was a
:03:02. > :03:05.authorised by somebody and people should ask to his bosses were and
:03:05. > :03:07.what decisions they made for. And questions too about who decided
:03:07. > :03:13.to withhold Mark Kennedy's recordings. Nottinghamshire Police
:03:13. > :03:18.have been in the firing line, but tonight they've come out fighting.
:03:18. > :03:20.I know the prosecution were aware of the undercover officer and very
:03:21. > :03:25.clearly disclose the information about the undercover officer and
:03:25. > :03:27.the sensitive material that was a product of that to the prosecution.
:03:27. > :03:30.Now that's being investigated as part of seven inquiries stemming
:03:30. > :03:32.from the handling of the power station plot. Inquiries that are
:03:32. > :03:37.asking fundamental questions about the policing and prosecution of
:03:37. > :03:40.protests and the whole the system Jeremy Ball is at Ratcliffe Power
:03:40. > :03:49.Station. This has been an extraordinary saga. Today's
:03:49. > :03:54.judgement, what's being said about that? A lot of heat on the Crown
:03:54. > :03:58.Prosecution Service tonight, they are not commenting because of other
:03:58. > :04:03.issues but the criticism was scathing in this, they said the
:04:03. > :04:06.prosecution ignored elementary problems and that failure to
:04:06. > :04:11.disclose Mark Kennedy's tapes was significant because the activists
:04:11. > :04:16.could have used the claim for entrapment or support their defence
:04:17. > :04:22.that the action was necessary and justified. And they say something
:04:22. > :04:26.seriously went wrong. What happens now? The National Review of
:04:26. > :04:29.undercover policing is due out in a few weeks' time, several inquiries
:04:29. > :04:33.going on still into both Nottinghamshire Police and the
:04:33. > :04:36.Crown Prosecution Service. One of those, a disciplinary inquiry by
:04:36. > :04:40.the Crown Prosecution Service and the activists and deciding what
:04:40. > :04:43.they will do next. One told me that they might be entitled to
:04:43. > :04:48.compensation and they are desperate to find out how much taxpayers'
:04:48. > :04:51.money is being spent on this. But at the end of the day, while they
:04:51. > :04:57.didn't get the power station shut down, they definitely got their
:04:57. > :05:00.message across. Next tonight, the man who believes
:05:00. > :05:03.he narrowly avoided becoming a killer's third victim. Alan Cliff
:05:03. > :05:05.fought off his neighbour Andrew Dawson just hours after Dawson had
:05:05. > :05:08.murdered someone. Now he wants a face-to-face meeting with the
:05:08. > :05:15.killer who was told earlier this week that he'll spend the rest of
:05:15. > :05:17.his life in prison. From Derby, Ever since hearing that two of his
:05:18. > :05:22.neighbours had been stabbed to death last July, Alan Cliff has
:05:22. > :05:24.lived with the chilling memory of a close encounter with their killer.
:05:24. > :05:34.48-year-old Andrew Dawson had already served a life sentence for
:05:34. > :05:35.
:05:35. > :05:40.murder. He grabbed me around the shoulders, and then as he came up,
:05:40. > :05:44.his arm came up over my neck and then I felt his arm there on my
:05:44. > :05:49.throat. It was pressing on May and then his other arm came round and
:05:49. > :05:52.got be in a Nelson. I felt that, I got up and pulled him off me, pull
:05:52. > :05:55.them round and said get out of my flat, mate.
:05:55. > :05:57.Andrew Dawson, who lived in this flat, had already murdered two of
:05:58. > :06:01.his neighbours. 66-year-old Dave Matthews who lived here and 58-
:06:01. > :06:05.year-old Paul Hancock who lived above him. Alan Cliff who lives in
:06:05. > :06:12.the fourth of the flats wants to know if he was supposed to become
:06:12. > :06:18.Andrew Dawson's third victim. Knowing what I know now, was he
:06:18. > :06:22.going to go at me with the knives? Did I stop in in his tracks? That
:06:22. > :06:30.is what I want to ask him. So today he wrote to Dawson to say
:06:30. > :06:34.he wants to visit him in prison. want to ask him his intentions face
:06:34. > :06:37.to face. The same night he killed Paul, and then find out for myself,
:06:37. > :06:44.did you try to kill make or didn't you?
:06:44. > :06:47.He says he won't rest until he gets an answer.
:06:47. > :06:51.Conservative MPs have tackled David Cameron about the failed bid by
:06:51. > :06:54.Derby train-maker Bombardier to win a big Government contract. The
:06:54. > :06:57.decision to award the contract to a German firm instead will cost 1,400
:06:57. > :07:07.jobs in the city, many of them highly skilled. Let's get the
:07:07. > :07:10.
:07:10. > :07:13.latest from Westminster and our political editor, John Hess.
:07:13. > :07:16.After five hours of debate on phone hacking, the Prime Minister managed
:07:16. > :07:18.to find time to see a group of Derbyshire MPs, worried about the
:07:18. > :07:28.future of Bombardier, Britain's last train-maker. The Mid-
:07:28. > :07:32.
:07:32. > :07:36.Derbyshire MP Pauline Latham was Could David Cameron actually focus
:07:36. > :07:40.on Bombardier given all the attention of that marathon phone
:07:40. > :07:44.hacking debate? Yes, he did and I was surprised how well briefed he
:07:44. > :07:48.was considering he had been in the House of Commons for so long. He
:07:48. > :07:52.was very clear that he was a sting to everything we had to say. We had
:07:52. > :07:56.a very vigorous debate and discussion about exactly what we
:07:56. > :08:01.needed. We need orders for Bombardier. He was listening that
:08:01. > :08:05.only one week ago, he told MPs here that there was no other option, he
:08:05. > :08:09.could not visit that contract that went to Siemens. We put to him
:08:09. > :08:16.various things given to us by other people so he could look at those
:08:16. > :08:20.and not saying that he could turn it round but he is certainly going
:08:20. > :08:24.to look at it, as is Theresa Villiers so we are hoping there
:08:24. > :08:28.will be a small amount of comfort even if it is only bringing
:08:28. > :08:32.forward... You mentioned Theresa Villiers, the Transport Secretary.
:08:32. > :08:37.That was earlier and that was a cross-party delegation included the
:08:37. > :08:41.Derby Labour MPs. Was she able to give you a further bit of comfort?
:08:41. > :08:48.Yes, she was looking at all the contracts in the pipeline over the
:08:48. > :08:52.next few years. To see what can be brought forward, but Bombardier can
:08:52. > :08:56.actually have without it going to tender. And it is thought that it
:08:56. > :08:59.might be able to go back to an existing order. Something positive?
:08:59. > :09:06.Yes, and we have got to look to the future. We are disappointed and we
:09:06. > :09:13.would like it to chase but we have got to look to the Ford. -- look
:09:13. > :09:15.forward. Parliament begins recess tonight but Bombardier will not go
:09:16. > :09:18.away. You're watching East Midlands Today,
:09:18. > :09:24.still to come. All the sport including a report from Natalie
:09:24. > :09:28.who's in Stockholm with Sven. more commercial wind farms are
:09:28. > :09:32.being given approval, but is it with generating your own energy at
:09:32. > :09:36.home? I will be finding out later. And on a week that is a mixture of
:09:36. > :09:42.sunny spells and showers, hopefully some good news for the weekend, it
:09:43. > :09:44.is getting better! More towards the end of the programme.
:09:45. > :09:50.The number of Nottinghamshire police stations with enquiry
:09:50. > :09:52.counters open to the public could be cut by more than half. Senior
:09:52. > :09:59.officers say at the moment some smaller stations only get one
:09:59. > :10:02.visitor a day. Angelina Socci The public enquiry desk at this
:10:02. > :10:08.police station in Kirkby in Ashfield hasn't been used since
:10:08. > :10:11.last July. Now proposals have been put forward to close more than 20
:10:11. > :10:15.others. 12 police stations could also shut. The force needs to make
:10:15. > :10:23.big savings over the next four years and selling off some of its
:10:23. > :10:29.buildings would save more than �1.5 million. A police estate does not
:10:29. > :10:34.just happen over two years, it grows over decades. And our
:10:34. > :10:37.requirements are different and they were in the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s.
:10:38. > :10:42.Some forces have started to rationalise their estate. We have
:10:42. > :10:45.been doing things like improving our service, crime reduction but it
:10:45. > :10:52.is time now for us to rationalise our estate to meet the demands
:10:52. > :10:59.working now. Stapleford is one area that could lose its police station
:10:59. > :11:07.and see its officers relocated. don't know who uses it but it is a
:11:07. > :11:11.good thing to have in the town. don't use it now. It is not used
:11:11. > :11:17.enough. The police will start consulting with members of the
:11:17. > :11:20.public. A final decision is expected to be made later this year.
:11:20. > :11:24.Six horses and their troughs have been stolen from a paddock in
:11:24. > :11:29.Nottinghamshire. The animals are thought to have been taken sometime
:11:29. > :11:33.overnight on Friday 8th July from a field in Whinbush Lane in Calverton.
:11:33. > :11:36.Police are trying to find the owner of a red 4x4 that was seen towing a
:11:36. > :11:39.white horsebox around the time of the theft.
:11:39. > :11:42.The former leader of Derby City Council has appeared in court
:11:42. > :11:45.charged with assaulting his ex-wife. Conservative councillor Harvey
:11:45. > :11:49.Jennings, seen here in the dark suit, today had his case
:11:49. > :11:52.transferred from Derby to Nottingham Magistrates Court. He's
:11:52. > :11:57.alleged to have assaulted his ex- wife just days before this year's
:11:57. > :11:59.local elections when he retained his seat.
:11:59. > :12:06.Workers have been lobbying outside the offices of a company which
:12:06. > :12:08.finds work for people with disabilities. A recent report has
:12:08. > :12:11.recommended that Remploy factories be closed, with the loss of almost
:12:11. > :12:16.3,000 jobs across the country. Workers staged a protest outside
:12:16. > :12:19.the Remploy offices in Leicester this morning.
:12:19. > :12:21.Next tonight, the number of parents being prosecuted in part of the
:12:21. > :12:26.East Midlands because their children aren't going to school has
:12:26. > :12:31.nearly doubled in the last year. Some parents were fined �30, others
:12:31. > :12:41.were fined �1,000. Leicestershire County Council says it's a last
:12:41. > :12:41.
:12:41. > :12:47.Children enjoying the start of the summer holidays in Loughborough
:12:47. > :12:52.today. But for some pupils, even in term time, there are not in school.
:12:52. > :12:56.And in over 200 cases, poor attendant has led to parents being
:12:56. > :13:00.taken to court. We had a small number of families who do not take
:13:00. > :13:04.their children to school every day. They are missing school every day.
:13:04. > :13:10.How do we break the cycle? Unfortunately, we have to take them
:13:10. > :13:14.to court. Last year, Leicestershire County Council fined 226 parents
:13:14. > :13:24.whose children had persistently missed school. Year on year, that
:13:24. > :13:24.
:13:24. > :13:27.is a rise of 60%. The finals range from �30 up to �1,000. There are
:13:27. > :13:30.certain circumstances where it is unavoidable where they have to take
:13:30. > :13:34.the children out of school. I have taken my children out of school but
:13:34. > :13:40.I have always got permission. a bit strong, being fined. That is
:13:40. > :13:43.a lot of money. The a bit steep, that. Especially when schools can
:13:43. > :13:48.take days off when they want to. The council has particularly
:13:48. > :13:53.focused on reducing lack of attendance among 15 and 16-year-
:13:53. > :13:56.olds in the run-up to exams. have to take attendance seriously
:13:56. > :14:00.and this is a very serious message that we want to send to parents
:14:00. > :14:04.that we are there to work with them but when necessary, we will take a
:14:04. > :14:09.firm line in terms of taking cases to court. The message is clear - do
:14:09. > :14:14.the maths, go to school and get to lessons or your parents could be
:14:14. > :14:19.In childhood falling and hurting yourself can usually be fixed with
:14:19. > :14:23.a hug and a sticking plaster. But for the elderly it can be a lot
:14:23. > :14:26.more serious, and in the case of a broken hip, very painful. So here's
:14:26. > :14:29.some good news. The Leicester Royal Infirmary used to have some of the
:14:29. > :14:32.longest delays in the country for repairing fractured hips. Now it's
:14:32. > :14:35.been praised after more than two thirds of patients were operated on
:14:35. > :14:45.within 36 hours of a fall. Our health correspondent Rob Sissons
:14:45. > :14:45.
:14:45. > :14:48.On the mend - Joyce is putting her fall behind her but she'll never
:14:49. > :14:52.forget it. Her fractured hip was repaired within 24 hours of her
:14:52. > :15:02.going into Leicester's A&E unit. It's a dramatic turnaround for the
:15:02. > :15:04.
:15:04. > :15:07.hospital which used to have some of the longest waits. I heard a noise
:15:07. > :15:10.and I knew something nasty had happened.
:15:10. > :15:20.In Leicester only a quarter of hip fractures were operated on within
:15:20. > :15:26.
:15:26. > :15:29.48 hours in 2009/2010. Now it's 71% When you have a frail, all the
:15:29. > :15:32.person lying immobile in bed, the longer they are immobile, the
:15:32. > :15:36.higher the risk of other complications. Things like chest
:15:36. > :15:38.infections, blood clots, pressure sores, all these increase.
:15:38. > :15:44.This surgeon admits incentive payments from the Government had
:15:45. > :15:48.accelerated change. We have implemented hip fracture lists over
:15:48. > :15:55.weekends on Saturdays and Sundays to make sure that these patients
:15:55. > :16:01.get to theatre within 36 hours. These screws and wires should do
:16:01. > :16:08.the trick for Joyce. Right now, she just wants to get home. They are
:16:08. > :16:11.all lovely in here. But you want to go home? You always want to go home.
:16:11. > :16:14.The hospital says its progress is a start. They hope to get more
:16:14. > :16:22.patients seen quicker in the coming years for what is a costly serious
:16:22. > :16:26.This week we've been looking at wind turbines in the East Midlands.
:16:26. > :16:28.Today it's the turn of smaller windmills. Simon Ward has been to
:16:28. > :16:38.South Derbyshire to investigate if domestic turbines are worth the
:16:38. > :16:41.
:16:41. > :16:45.People have mixed feelings about large-scale wind turbines that can
:16:45. > :16:49.be up to 125 metres to the top of the blade but this wind turbine
:16:49. > :16:52.here in South Derbyshire is only 18 metres high. How much power can
:16:52. > :16:55.these generate? Kevin Field lives here with his
:16:55. > :16:58.family. Their wind turbine has been operating for more than five years.
:16:58. > :17:07.It cost them �13,000, plus they were given a �5,000 Government
:17:07. > :17:11.grant at the time it was installed. It is greatly important. Because if
:17:11. > :17:15.people can generate their own electricity, it is less of a burden
:17:15. > :17:21.on the environment from a production point of view,
:17:21. > :17:24.greenhouse gases and so forth. It is certainly a wise investment. If
:17:25. > :17:27.you are going to be in your house for so many years.
:17:27. > :17:30.Kevin estimates the turbine can generate about 60% of their
:17:30. > :17:33.electricity use. It varies during the year, but through the Feed-In
:17:33. > :17:37.Tariff, they get back around �200 per quarter by sending power back
:17:37. > :17:46.to the grid. Planning permission was granted with no problems here.
:17:46. > :17:51.Even smaller turbines may still need to be approved. Here in our
:17:51. > :17:54.under stairs covered, are the controllers for the wind turbine,
:17:54. > :18:00.we have got the power output which tells us what we are generating as
:18:00. > :18:09.it is coming in. It goes to a couple of inverter is whereby it
:18:09. > :18:11.gets fed back into the grid or used by ass. -- by us.

:18:18. > :18:21.going a stage further and installing solar panels as well. We
:18:21. > :18:26.have got some breaking news before we continue. Police are trying to
:18:26. > :18:32.trace a man falling and assault in wood in Nottinghamshire. It took
:18:32. > :18:37.place in woodland near Third Avenue in Rainworth at about 4:20pm. The
:18:37. > :18:44.man who may have been acting suspiciously is described as white,
:18:44. > :18:48.aged 40 and between five foot seven inches and 5 ft 10. He was wearing
:18:48. > :18:56.sportswear and have a light ginger or blonde hair. People should phone

:19:02. > :19:05.of the show and more in the late bulletin.

:19:35. > :19:37.available by the end of the summer. That's according to the club's
:19:37. > :19:40.football director, Andew Neville. Leicester have already signed seven

:20:19. > :20:24.place to prepare for a memorable I have been in Sweden with teams
:20:24. > :20:31.before. The weather is usually good. If you do not enjoy a Stockholm in
:20:31. > :20:34.summertime, something is wrong because it is a bit of a city.
:20:34. > :20:42.-- a beautiful city. And if anybody thinks pre-seasons
:20:42. > :20:46.are like a holiday, think again. They have been working very hard,
:20:46. > :20:50.it is more-or-less every day, two sessions per day. This morning it
:20:50. > :20:53.is raining and then in the afternoon so it is not a holiday
:20:53. > :20:56.for the players. What was interesting is all key
:20:56. > :20:59.figures from the club are here, even for a low-key game. The
:20:59. > :21:07.management, players and owners, and they hope they're prepared to spend
:21:08. > :21:11.millions and want two players for every position. We need the squad
:21:11. > :21:17.really strong. Even if somebody is injured, we have somebody to
:21:17. > :21:20.replace them immediately. We tried to make the team ready for the
:21:20. > :21:24.season coming. Andrew Neville has been at the club
:21:24. > :21:26.for 13 years. Never has he known transfer activity like this. Names
:21:26. > :21:36.like Hargreaves, Heskey, Yakubu and Maynard linked with Leicester every
:21:36. > :21:37.
:21:37. > :21:40.day. I don't want individuals, I would rather finalise the deal and
:21:40. > :21:46.then announce it. But names mentioned include a lot of names we
:21:46. > :21:51.are looking at. The owners have now come in and they want to get to the
:21:51. > :21:56.Premier League as we do as players do as well. So Sven says goodbye to
:21:56. > :22:05.his home country and says it is likely that another player will be
:22:05. > :22:08.signing for the club by the end of In other news, Nottingham Forest
:22:08. > :22:10.have used their official website to insist that some reports of new
:22:10. > :22:14.signings are premature. Today, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink was
:22:14. > :22:17.reported to be the new first team coach and George Boateng to have
:22:17. > :22:19.signed a deal to play for Forest. The club says neither arrival is
:22:19. > :22:21.confirmed. Cricket now, and only two games to
:22:21. > :22:25.tell you about because Nottinghamshire's trip to Hampshire
:22:25. > :22:27.was rained out today. Derbyshire had a terrible start at
:22:27. > :22:30.Northampton but Ross Whiteley and Jonathan Clare have injected
:22:30. > :22:33.respectability into the total. Meanwhile James Taylor has been
:22:33. > :22:42.signalling to the England selectors again with a handsome century in
:22:42. > :22:46.the tour match with Sri Lanka. Solanki at a, not long before his
:22:46. > :22:49.call up. His face may not be familiar to
:22:49. > :22:51.many of us, but his words certainly are, to millions of readers
:22:51. > :22:54.worldwide. Lee Child writes thrillers about his hero, Jack
:22:54. > :22:58.Reacher. He's sold 50 million books so far. Today, Lee was at De
:22:58. > :23:01.Montfort University in Leicester to receive an honorary degree. He told
:23:01. > :23:09.James Roberson what it's like to know your books are selling at the
:23:09. > :23:13.Getting kitted out - it's all in a day's work for a rough, tough
:23:13. > :23:16.thriller writer. In fact, the robes were for the honorary Doctor of
:23:16. > :23:24.Letters that Lee Child was about to receive from De Montfort University.
:23:24. > :23:32.He's published 15 novels since 1997. The 16th is on its way, 50 million
:23:32. > :23:35.sold in all - apparently one every second. I sell one book a year, and
:23:35. > :23:39.that goes to the publisher and any publisher sells them around the
:23:39. > :23:47.world so I have to maintain that distance otherwise it would get too
:23:47. > :23:50.freaky. And today De Montfort University celebrated that. A real
:23:50. > :23:55.thrill, they are not going down the traditional academic route because
:23:55. > :23:58.I am far from that traditional, academic person but my books are
:23:58. > :24:03.widely read and I am engaged in the real world and that is what they
:24:03. > :24:09.are trying to connect with. Authors of the standing have to sign their
:24:09. > :24:15.works in industrial numbers. He once wore out a jacket elbow
:24:15. > :24:20.signing 14,000 books over 12 hours in a Chicago warehouse. I was
:24:20. > :24:24.sitting there and five people were sliding books under my arms, you
:24:24. > :24:27.think it is all created but there is a lot of stuff behind the scenes
:24:27. > :24:30.which nobody sees. Now the first Jack Reacher film's
:24:30. > :24:39.coming out. Reacher, who like Lee is six-foot-five, will be played by
:24:39. > :24:43.Tom Cruise... Famously not that tall. I am fine with it, Tom Cruise
:24:43. > :24:47.is a global movie star and my attitude is that if you're going to
:24:47. > :24:50.have a movie, have a big star and Tom Cruise is certainly that.
:24:50. > :24:58.As he received his degree, he reminded the students not to worry
:24:58. > :25:08.if they're uncertain what they want to do. I would say, don't right now,
:25:08. > :25:09.
:25:09. > :25:16.read, read now. Read 10,000 books You are looking at a man who was 40
:25:16. > :25:18.years old before he decided what he wanted to do. Thank you very much.

:25:52. > :25:57.are used to be like! We have got quite a bit of cloud around at the
:25:57. > :26:04.moment and some nasty showers in the northern part of the county. We
:26:04. > :26:10.will see some of them working their weight south and then gradually
