29/07/2011 East Midlands Today

This is East MidlandsToday. Our top story tonight, in a coma or

thousands of miles from home. Matthew was badly hurt in a crash

in Bali, his match -- his family needs more money to keep him alive.

In two months' time will have no money, we are appealing for help.

Also tonight, learning from Europe, if they can protect their jobs, why

can't we? Plus the rise and rise of the supermarkets. The latest and we

built here. In the sport at Trent Bridge it was

India against England, but this belonged to these men.

Welcome to the programme. He has been critically injured in a

motorbike accident in Bali. He is in intensive care, but the hospital

bills are piling up. A former lecturer Matthew Taylor has no

medical insurance, it has added to be raggedy experienced by his

family. They fear if they money runs out if he could die.

It was his dream a job, teaching English to students in Bali. He was

involved in a motorbike crash on his way home, he is now critically

ill in intensive care. Matthew needs Advanced I see you treatment.

Back home in Leicestershire his family had been trying to keep up-

to-date with his consider -- with his condition. They need to raise

thousands of pounds for his condition. He was not insured

medically, if they are struggling to find the money. We may need a

�100,000 of life savings, that will run out. It is content -- if this

condition continues to stay the same, we will have no money in two

weeks' time. Doctors say he is in a deep coma and may not recover. His

medical bills amounting to �11,000 a week, the family are trying to

raise money. They are urging other people to take out medical

insurance. Any student or teenager going abroad, please take out

medical insurance. Even if your family buyers for you as a

Christmas present, you do not understand the stress and strain,

and frustration that you have to go for -- go through. The family would

like to bring him back home, but that would cost thousands of pounds.

They are hoping his condition will improve.

Our correspondent has joined us. What is the latest on his

condition? He was flown at to Bali to a hospital -- he was flown from

Bali to a hospital in Singapore. He it is feared that his condition is

deteriorating. As it stands there is nothing that doctors can do. The

family are incredibly distressed. They are trying to decide what to

do next. Thank you very much. Next tonight, Europe can do it, why

can't we? And East Midlands MP says we have a lot to learn from

Brussels when it comes to safeguarding jobs at home. He says

that the decision to award a huge contract to a German firm, not

Bombardier should be challenged. It is now six weeks since

Bombardier lost the contract to the German firm Siemens, a �1.4 billion

contract to build trains for the Thameslink route across London.

Still the outdraw refuses to die down. Siemens were found guilty of

corruption charges on other contract. They say that has been

addressed. At his Leicestershire home this MP told me it is an issue

that this government, and the previous government, they should

have addressed it. It appears to me there are very good grounds to

question of whether Stevens are appropriate company to handle this

contract. I think the government should have taken that into account.

It seems to me that there is a case for the government looking again,

taking legal advice and seeing what the position is. Liberal-Democrat

MEP, Bill told me they should look at the position again if they

brokered European are rules. The MPs felt that European governments

look after their own workers. you put their project out to tender,

you keep in mind of two things. The rules as they stand, but also at

looking at ways that we can ensure that we did the best deal to the

British tax payer, and British Industry. He says that the

government should not be afraid at looking again at the awarding of

the Thameslink contract. You are watching East MidlandsToday,

Nottingham. The Riviera is in the market square. We have been the

all-day. Some have hundreds upon hundreds of people, and I tell you

you can see that they are all still here. They are having a brilliant

time. We will have all the highlights later on. We will tell

you what the weekend that there will be doing. Join me later on.

Detectives investigating the murder of a mother in Nottingham have

released on bail or a 26-year-old man who was arrested with

connections to the killing. Caroline Coyne's body was found two

months ago -- two weeks ago. The police and believe a missing

trainer could lead to finding her killer.

Almost one we can't flowers mark the spot where Caroline Coyne was

found. It was a pathway between two houses. The 28-year-old had two

sons, she died of head injuries. These are CCTV images showed her

trying to flag down a passing traffic. She tried to do this

several times after leaving a family party. She was wearing this

is identical to the one I am holding. He is a size 3. It is how

right trainer. It is vital we find that. The police are stepping up

their inquiries. There is one key question that remains unanswered,

why was she so far away from home, so late at night? The other thing

that is important is trying to find out what was going through her mind

that tonight. I believe she has walked all the way, why was she

doing that? She engaged with members of the public, they spoke

to her, what was she saying? It is vital that we know what she was

trying to do. The police insist that the release on bail of a man

and they were questioning is not a setback. The cards tell us that she

will be truly mess, and not forgotten.

supermarkets in our towns and cities. Planning permission has

just been granted for a major new store, right next to a busy street

customers to the whole area. From Than there is already a market but

it is about to make a way for a supermarket. Tesco was last night

given permission to build a major new store. In turn, the market will

be rebuilt next door where a pub currently stands. Traders are

surprisingly upbeat about competing with Tesco. We will compete with

this beach was heaving! Tonight, the sandcastles have been cleared

visit the East Midlands Today Road Show, having a go at doing our jobs.

It's been such a lot of fun. Here's It is no small job bringing the

So, it is the special one versus the Swedish one, are you excited?

you talk about Real Madrid, it is probably one of the best clubs ever

Leicester have reportedly paid �1 million. What a game to make your

signing in the 39 days. The former Manchester City player.

Rebecca Adlington qualified fastest from her heat in the 800 metres

freestyle in a Shanghai. But it has been all about Trent

Bridge. And Stuart Broad. When Broad and Swann came together,

England were in a world of trouble. Wickets tumbling all around, and

only 124 runs on the board. The Nottinghamshire pair promptly set

about India with a quickfire boundary feast. Swann didn't fare

quite as well as Broad. This ball ended up sending him to hospital.

But his resurgent county team mate ending up scoring more than twice

as much as any other England player today. A brilliant innings from

Stuart. 64. England 221 all out. Three great stuff. And then as well

a first-ball wicket for England to take at the end of the day. In the

end, it was a Nottinghamshire's day. Which is why we have the chief

executive with us. It has been a terrific day. Some fantastic

cricket which has had the crowd on the edge of their seats. A great

start for England. In front of a capacity crowd. Great to have these

local heroes performing at this level. Stuart Broad is terrific

when he plays for Nottinghamshire. Great to see him on his home ground.

And batting so well. It is not just him in the Nottinghamshire team?

weekend. We have a lot of cloud around. But it has been lovely and

colourful today. Earlier, we saw children and sand castles. Now they

is the best thing? The rides. have you been doing? I had been

playing with the sand and playing volleyball. Come back and see us

tomorrow. It will warm up. We are starting to see sunshine breaking

through. The main thing you'll notice overnight is we are going to

have clearer skies, temperatures colder. We have lost that close

feeling. First of all tonight, thank you to Daniel, 16, who sent

in tonight's weather picture. A colourful field of poppies. If,

like Daniel, you would like to send us your weather pictures, that is

the address. Looking at the satellite from earlier today, we

were cut with a lot of cloud around. It has been very stubborn. We were

expecting it to break. However, it is taking its time. We are only

seeing it breaking now. We should see some sunshine before it gets

dark. Overnight, clear skies will develop. You may notice and little

bit of mist forming in the early hours of Saturday morning. Cooler

than what we have been used to come at eight Celsius minimum. Saturday

morning, a beautiful and sunny start is expected. As the

temperatures rise, cloud will bubble up and we will see sunny

spells in the afternoon. Feeling warmer, a top temperature of 21

Celsius. Sunday, high pressure stays with us. An increase in cloud

of through the day. But much of the date is dry, sunny and warm.
