Good evening. Welcome to Thursday's programme. | :00:11. | :00:17. | |
The family left hanging from a fairground ride. A fun day out at | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
Skegness turned into Tero. It's only went down and everyone was | :00:24. | :00:33. | |
screaming and crying. Also tonight - moving patient admin to India. G | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
A -- GPs say Outsourcing is not saving money. The cost of sorting | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
out problems that have arisen must be considerable. And more shops | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
than ever are empty on our high street but one market town is | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
bucking the trend. And curtain-up for the King of | :00:54. | :01:04. | |

Good evening. An East Midlands family have been talking for the | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
moment they became trapped on a fairground ride. The Patels from | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
a day out, but the trip turned to terror when a ride broke. It left | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
six members of the family hanging, injured, in their seats waiting for | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
rescue. James Roberson reports. Back at home in Leicester and now | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
became trapped on the ride in Skegness look back at how some | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
national papers covered it. The day - last Thursday - had | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
started innocently enough as an enjoyable family day out in the | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
Lincolnshire seaside town. At about 3pm, six of the family | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
decided to try a ride called Surf rider. But within seconds of | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
getting on, something went wrong. It was just when we get to the top | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
of my uncle heard a noise and then it just collapsed. It happened so | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
quickly. I thought it was a part of the ride. But the whole thing was | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
on the floor and then I realised what had happened. It took around | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
40 minutes to rescue everyone on head and gone unconscious. She | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Pilgrim hospital, but all needed treatment for brusing, spinal and | :02:28. | :02:37. | |
back injuries. I was thinking about my daughter and husband and my | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
family, what would happen next. Then I just passed out. There was a | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
funfair the other week at Victoria Park and I could not even look at | :02:48. | :02:56. | |
it when I was driving past. sometimes get flashbacks. I get bad | :02:56. | :03:05. | |
headaches. It is hard sometimes for Investigation into how the ride | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
came to fail with passengers on it. The Patels who were hurt hope | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
from their injuries. But the mental scars may take longer to heal. | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
catalogue of problems, according to a group representing GPs. | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
Patients' records and payments to doctors are now handled by fewer | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
admin centres. Some of the work is out sourced to India. But instead | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
of efficiencies, it's led to delays. Quentin Rayner reports. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
A year ago, all PCTs in the East Midlands signed up to the plan to | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
save �9m over six years. Certain administration is now outsourced to | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
a company called NHS Shared Business Services, including in | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
India. Under the shake-up five, admin centres across the East | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
handling a range of services on behalf of GPs and patients. Some of | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
the work is now done thousands of miles away in Pune and up to a | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
hundred jobs have been lost over here. But an organisation | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
practices getting paid, and hold- ups in the transfer of medical | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
:04:24. | :04:25. | ||
notes, potentially puting patients at risk. Clearly if it is delayed | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
in transferring notes it can cause problems from the point of view of | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
patients' safety. A G P could have seen a patient a couple of times in | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
that period but without having access to important information | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
about their medications and pass a medical history. NHS SBS says it | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
has an almost 100% record in reaching its targets and has dealt | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
was to save money, it hasn't convinced everyone. It has been a | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
false economy. The actual cost of sorting out the problems that have | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
arisen must be considerable. say they'll know in a few months if | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
improvements have worked. A 21-year-old man has denied | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
murdering a Thorntons worker near to her Derbyshire workplace. | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
Jia Ashton, who was 25, disappeared after leaving the Swanwick factory | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
in March. Her body was found three days later in woods nearby. David | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
appeared via video link at Nottingham Crown Court today, and | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
pleaded not guilty to her murder. He'll remain in custody until a | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
trial in November. Figures out today show that almost | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
200 members of teaching staff were assaulted in Derbyshire last year. | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
There were 138 assaults on teaching assistants in the county and 57 on | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
teachers. Between January and June this year there were 51 assaults on | :05:51. | :06:01. | |
teaching staff. Fans with tickets to see a dealt in | :06:01. | :06:04. | |

New figures released today reveal just how much the high street is | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
suffering from the effects of the recession. The number of empty | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
shops has increased in the last year from 10% up to 13%. In | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
Nottingham city centre nearly a quarter of units are vacant. But | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
while many cities and towns are suffering, some are doing better. | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
Sarah Teale reports from one market town where business is booming. | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
Riding out the recession is tough going for retailers. Too tough for | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
some. In the past year as many businesses will do it, shop vacancy | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
rates rose from 10% to 13%. Grantham was hit hardest in the | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
East Midlands. It was recently labelled a ghost town. With the | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
supermarkets blamed for sacking the shoppers out of the centre. Just | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
under 20 miles away, things could not be more different. Melton | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
Mowbray has just 22 of its 443 shops empty. We recognise that the | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
recession has come in and it was going to be hard on the High Street. | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
We took the initiative to do an empty shops scheme and start to | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
fill up the vacant units with short-term leases are. That | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
attracted shoppers, which attracted a new and permanent businesses. The | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
town is now flying the flag for independent, niche retailers. | :08:13. | :08:21. | |
chose Melton Mowbray because of the cast. In the larger cities it is | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
much higher. The at Duke family set up their gift shop in February. | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
is just a lovely traditional market town. There are so many things to | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
attract people in. And the amount of coaches coming in is amazing. It | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
has really helped us. But Melton Mowbray does seem to be bucking the | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
trend. Are three main city centres are not faring so well. With much | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
higher vacancy rates. Nottingham tops the list with 23% of its shops | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
standing empty. Derby is next with 19.4% of its units vacant. And | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
Leicester has 17% of its shops empty. The economic pinch is being | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
felt. But back in Melton Mowbray the retailers are sure that trade | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
in their town is on the up. It's almost a month now since | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
violence broke out on a number of our city streets following the | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
London riots. In Nottingham alone, more than 120 people were | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
subsequently arrested. But police say they still need more help in | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
tracking down those involved in one of the worst attacks. That attack | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
was the firebombing of Canning Street police station. It's also | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
emerged that the building wasn't the only thing to be targeted that | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
night. Our reporter, Carolyn Moses, is there now. | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
It all looks fairly normal now but this is Canning circus with the new | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
lick of paint. But it does still show the scars of what happened a | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
month ago. Here you can see where the window was hit. The glass has | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
been replaced but four weeks ago, this was a building under attack. | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
As these dramatic pictures show, they were captured by a mobile | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
phone, fire bombs and incendiary devices were thrown at the police | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
station while staff were inside. It is thought 40 people were involved | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
in that action but so far only around 15 have been traced and | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
charge. Luckily no one was hurt in the attack but there was smoke | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
damage and damage to the windows. And it was not just the police | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
station, on that night the number of cars coming down the street | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
opposite were also targeted. Some were hit and a taxi in particular | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
he was attacked by members of the mob. Detective Sergeant Mike Allen | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
is with me now. This has to beat one of the worst nights of street | :11:00. | :11:10. | |
:11:10. | :11:10. | ||
violence that Nottingham has seen. seen for many years. But it did not | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
mirror the level of disorder seen elsewhere in cities across the UK. | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
Because we were prepared for it that evening. The level of policing | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
was such an the strength of policing was such that they were | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
denied the right to cause the serious violence seemed elsewhere | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
for stock there are arrests going in tracing those responsible for | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
this attack. How can people help? 15 people have been charged so far. | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
Clearly there are offenders outstanding. So I appeal to members | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
of the public, if they know flute was responsible then please contact | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
Nottinghamshire police or contact Crimestoppers anonymously. If these | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
people are confident enough to petrol bomb a police station I'm | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
sure they would Prague to it -- Bragg about it to their friends. | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
And a specific appeal - we you the station that was hit by a petrol | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
bomb? You want to trace those who were also hit? They have been | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
arrests made and are still going on. We should hear shortly about the | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
backgrounds of the people involved in the hope that it could shed some | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
light as to why it happened in the first place. | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
Next tonight, more affordable housing needs to be built across | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
the East Midlands. Some councils have been given money to get | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
the leader of Leicestershire County Council, the cash isn't been spent | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
on houses. Helen Astle reports. Rebecca Laing plays with her | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
daughter Maisie in their new home. They moved in a few months ago and | :12:54. | :13:03. | |
pay rent to a social housing company. It means so much. We have | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
lots of friends and family in the Village. And both sets of our | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
parents live here. Rebecca is one of the lucky ones. At the moment | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
over a quarter of a million people in the East Midlands are on his | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
social housing waiting list and that list is growing daily. | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
demand is ever-growing because of house price increases. The waiting | :13:28. | :13:36. | |
lists on most local authorities Money from the Government has been | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
given to district and borough councils so more social housing can | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
be built, small scale developments on the edge of villages. But some | :13:42. | :13:50. | |
councils aren't spending the cash. It can be infuriating. But it is | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
important, we need to get those houses into villages. They Arsenal | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
scale developments, they are sustainable. These schemes are a | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
godsend for the local communities. The people will sustain the Village | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
and the shops. The children will go to the schools here. They really | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
help keep the villages alive. interviewed and approved before | :14:18. | :14:25. | |
they were able to get their home. It means a lot for us to stay in | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
the Village. So Maisie will follow in her mum's footsteps, the council | :14:29. | :14:36. | |
is hoping that other families will be given the same opportunities. | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
Residents in part of Nottingham say they're concerned about the city's | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
with managers to discuss the the trams will cause parking | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
remove trees. Tram bosses say they'll keep disruption to a | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
minimum. Police have released an image of | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
the man they would like to speak to in connection with a robbery in | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
Nottinghamshire. Last month a 16 year-old woman had cash stolen from | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
her handbag by two men he claimed to be from the gas board. That sort | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
of scam in terribly targets the elderly. Sir Alastair's trading | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
standards officers have been trying to flag up the kind of tricks used | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
by con artists. Pensioners were treated to a number of shows today | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
performed by actors and illustrating a few classic examples | :15:34. | :15:42. | |
of today's cons and scams. Portraying as serious message. This | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
play is that theatre with the difference. And it is hoped it will | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
raise awareness. Bogus callers are distraction burglaries, their | :15:53. | :16:00. | |
offence is very impacted on the person and also their family. These | :16:00. | :16:05. | |

I hope many more people come and see it. Looking at that, it goes | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
further in it and you understand more. It is about the individual | :16:58. | :17:08. | |

Time to get excited about Olympic ticket sales again! This time it's | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
Paralympic tickets which go on offer tomorrow. Those games are | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
also expected to sell out. And round here, we have plenty of | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
Sam and Ollie Hynd go for Gold. And Henshaw. She was part of a grand | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
Square today. And when I caught up with her, it sounded like she was | :18:11. | :18:19. | |
having fun. We have met some really nice people who have shown a lot of | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
interest in the Paralympics which is always great. We were shown some | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
demonstrations from the wheelchair basketball guys. It has been great. | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
Just tell us what you are expecting from your games. Because you have | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
this enormous rivalry with Liz Johnson in the pool. Well we have | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
not qualified yet, we still have to do the trials in March. Assuming we | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
both qualified than I think it will be a really good challenge to try | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
to beat her. And then also the American in the mix there as well | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
and other Australian girl. So it is claimed to be really exciting race | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
between the four of us. It is important to say that the | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
Paralympics are not at all second class, you will be able to generate | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
just as much excitement as any at the Olympics will stop absolutely. | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
The more people become aware of Paralympics swimming the more | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
people will start to see that there are races that are so close, just | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
as close as those that use the in the Olympic Games. The pattern is | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
exactly the same and everyone wants to win that gold medal. There are | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
some really exciting races to come in London. Are you going to bring | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
the gold medal back to Mansfield's? I hope so. I have had some great | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
success in the past couple of years. But it is never going to be easy to | :19:49. | :19:58. | |
win a gold medal at the Paralympics. Good luck to Charlotte. Well, all | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
across the region, people have been marking a year to go to the opening | :20:02. | :20:11. | |
of the Paralympics. And it's not met a group of blind footballers. | :20:11. | :20:21. | |
:20:21. | :20:31. | ||
Well, this is Paul Gallagher of course, of Leicester City. And | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
Matts Rahmen, who is a blind footballer for the England | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
development squad. Today we are taking part in a very special | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
soccer shoot out. To mark a year to go to the | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
Paralympics, five visually impared players came up against five | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
Leicester City first teamers. And to make it a level playing | :20:52. | :21:02. | |
:21:02. | :21:06. | ||
If they get their take legal right there will be all right. It is just | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
getting used to not being able to see where you are. I usually get | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
the call from the caller behind the post. And when the whistle goes I | :21:20. | :21:30. | |
:21:30. | :21:43. | ||
take the penalty. How was that? It is a totally | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
different thing. You have to take your hat off to them because it is | :21:48. | :21:56. | |
really difficult. The Leicester City team won 2 - nil. It is an | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
opportunity to raise awareness of the sport and the chance to meet | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
some famous people and hopefully we can it recruits are more players | :22:07. | :22:17. | |
:22:17. | :22:17. | ||
and improve the standard of the football is there for everyone to | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
enjoy. Staying with football, all the best | :22:22. | :22:27. | |

the Curve theatre in Leicester for a world dance premiere which opens | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
next week. Almost 20 years ago, Akram Khan arrived in Leicester as | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
a student. Now he's back with an international reputation as a | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
dancer and choreographer, staring in his first solo show for five | :23:34. | :23:44. | |
:23:44. | :23:45. | ||
years. Geoff Maskell has been to meet him. | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
The stars of contemporary dance may not be household names, but let me | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
put it like this - if Akram can play football, he would be Wayne | :23:56. | :24:04. | |
Rooney. It is really about Bangladesh, my relationship with | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
Bangladesh. It is a relationship of father and son and also first- | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
generation and second generation and the complications there are. | :24:15. | :24:22. | |
You have a repetition it from a king with great artists such as pop | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
princess Kylie Minogue. At the team here are going all-out to make sure | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
that this latest production is a real spectacle. It is so potent for | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
has given that we have this amazing facility with every technological | :24:37. | :24:45. | |
gadgets you could float at it. And the show certainly does that. | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
fantasy based. Everything is out of proportion. You have a huge share | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
that when I stand next to it, I do not have to play being the child, I | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
become a child will stop this show is an opportunity for us to relate | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
to beat Bangladesh community in Leicester. I have a friend who grew | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
up here and I ate most telling him about the piece and he said, I have | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
to come. He never comes to my shows, ever. But it was the first time he | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
was interested in my work. He thought, it may be contemporary | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
dance but there is a narrative there with him that and it is about | :25:31. | :25:41. | |
:25:41. | :25:42. | ||
me. It does look amazing. You could me. It does look amazing. You could | :25:42. | :25:50. | |
take me there! Good evening. We have a chance to | :25:50. | :25:57. | |
night other see him he's supernova. It will be the first time in 20 | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
years that astronomers will have seen one so close to the air. If | :26:03. | :26:12. | |
you look up, it is basically a dying star. And if we have the | :26:12. | :26:21. | |
clear skies we should be able to see it. But we're not going to keep | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
those Clear skies and for very long because of this area and bringing | :26:27. | :26:34. | |
it ranges some parts of the UK. But for now we are going to keep those | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
sunny spells for a time giving us a bright end to the day. The cloud is | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
increasing and bringing with it the risk of some light outbreaks of | :26:46. | :26:56. | |
:26:56. | :27:01. | ||
rain. Quite a mild night with temperatures around 14 degrees. | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
Temperatures tomorrow afternoon of around 22 degrees. So a taste of | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
some or returns for one day only. But make the most of it because it | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
turns rather wild as it goes through the weekend. For Saturday | :27:16. | :27:25. | |
it turns breezy and this cold front works its way through. It is this | :27:25. | :27:31. |
