:00:10. > :00:13.This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and me, Anne Davies.
:00:13. > :00:16.Our top story tonight. Jailed. A 79-year-old paedophile who abused
:00:16. > :00:21.boys over two decades. A cunning predator, Peter Holland
:00:21. > :00:31.used his position at church to groom young boys. When researchers
:00:31. > :00:33.
:00:33. > :00:38.house, we found a suitcase full of photographs.
:00:38. > :00:43.Derby City Council announces �20 million of a savings, 500 jobs are
:00:43. > :00:47.to go. The man at badly injured in a crash
:00:47. > :00:56.who did not want the man responsible to be jailed. I could
:00:56. > :01:01.get pretty miserable, but I do not intend to do that.
:01:01. > :01:11.And on occasion, we get the low- down behind the scenes of the
:01:11. > :01:18.
:01:18. > :01:28.latest in Jane Eyre film to be made Welcome to Friday's programme.
:01:28. > :01:30.
:01:30. > :01:33.First tonight. A 79-year-old pensioner has been jailed for six
:01:33. > :01:35.years for the sexual abuse of children spanning almost two
:01:35. > :01:37.decades. Peter Holland admitted crimes against 12 schoolboys in
:01:37. > :01:43.Nottingham. But detectives believe there could
:01:43. > :01:46.have been hundreds of victims. And it's emerged that Holland had
:01:46. > :01:53.already been jailed for similar sex offences over 50 years ago. Our
:01:53. > :01:56.Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, reports. Justice
:01:56. > :01:59.finally caught up with Peter Holland today as he was sentenced
:01:59. > :02:02.for crimes going back to 1970s. Crimes that ruined a string of
:02:02. > :02:05.young lives. Let me show you some of the photographs. The police
:02:05. > :02:08.knocked on Holland's doors after a former victim finally came forward
:02:08. > :02:11.last year. They found thousands of catalogued photographs with details
:02:11. > :02:15.that helped them trace several others. Men who are now in their
:02:15. > :02:20.30s and 40s. I was probably the first person they told. There was a
:02:20. > :02:25.lot of silence. I think there was a lot of relief that it had now come
:02:25. > :02:30.out. These people had never disclosed to anybody the extent of
:02:31. > :02:37.the abuse, not even to their wives, to their parents. I think the
:02:37. > :02:40.victims run into hundreds. The photographs speak for themselves.
:02:40. > :02:43.Holland groomed some of his victims by volunteering at church and in
:02:43. > :02:48.Scout groups. Earning their parents' trust and then taking them
:02:48. > :02:53.on trips to the fair and on holidays. That shows him on holiday
:02:53. > :03:00.with one of the victims. This other shot here is taken at Center Parcs
:03:00. > :03:03.and it shows one of the victims swimming in the pool. Holland even
:03:03. > :03:09.used workmates at the Plessey factory to meet some of his victims.
:03:09. > :03:14.But to his neighbours, he presented a very different face. He was very
:03:14. > :03:19.kind. He always comes round if we are not very well or anything and
:03:19. > :03:22.does shopping, or runs people to the doctors, all that sort of thing.
:03:22. > :03:26.Detectives say when they came here to arrest Peter Holland last year,
:03:26. > :03:29.he was not at all surprised. In fact, it was the knock on the door
:03:29. > :03:33.he had been expecting for decades. That is because he had a long track
:03:33. > :03:39.record of sexual abuse. These blurry photographs were taken more
:03:39. > :03:41.than 50 years ago when he was jailed the first time. Church of
:03:41. > :03:44.England authorities say that conviction would have showed up
:03:44. > :03:47.with the safeguards now in place. We are deeply sorry that this has
:03:47. > :03:50.happened in the context of his membership of one of our churches.
:03:50. > :03:59.We apologise unreservedly to the victims who are out there, some we
:03:59. > :04:05.know and some we do not know. We would join the police in urging
:04:05. > :04:09.others to come forward. Detectives say he was a cunning sexual
:04:09. > :04:19.predator and they say it beggars belief that he got away with it for
:04:19. > :04:20.
:04:20. > :04:23.so long. Jeremy Ball's with us in the studio.
:04:23. > :04:26.These crimes happened several years ago. So how did the police find
:04:26. > :04:29.Peter Holland's victims? A lot of them were traced through
:04:29. > :04:33.Facebook. By searching for names that Holland had written on the
:04:33. > :04:37.back of those old photos. He left dates too, so detectives had a good
:04:37. > :04:39.idea of how old those men would have been now. And they simply
:04:39. > :04:43.compared the photos with their profile pictures. And if the two
:04:43. > :04:45.seemed to match, then officers sent them a message, asking them to get
:04:45. > :04:47.in touch. We heard the police there saying
:04:47. > :04:49.Holland's victims had kept this abuse quiet. How were they
:04:49. > :04:52.affected? It's been traumatic for some of
:04:52. > :04:56.them. The youngest victims were only 8 years old. Three of the boys
:04:56. > :05:04.were brothers. And one was abused in chuch. Today the judge told
:05:04. > :05:14.Holland he was a manipulative, predatory paedophile.
:05:14. > :05:15.
:05:15. > :05:19.We heard the police there saying Derby City Council today announced
:05:19. > :05:26.it was to make hundreds more staff redundant. It said it was being
:05:26. > :05:29.forced to make �20 million of savings to balance the budgets.
:05:29. > :05:33.Unions have called the cuts a tragedy for staff, services and the
:05:33. > :05:36.city of Derby, as Sarah Teale reports.
:05:36. > :05:40.These were the scenes earlier this year when Derby City Council
:05:40. > :05:49.announced the largest cuts in its history. There were widespread
:05:49. > :05:56.protests them. 465 staff took voluntary redundancy. Unions warned
:05:56. > :06:00.that more would follow. Today, the council announced it has to make a
:06:00. > :06:08.further �20 million of savings to balance the budget for next year.
:06:08. > :06:14.It said the money would be found by losing 500 full-time posts from its
:06:14. > :06:20.6100 strong workforce. That is a lot of jobs. What the expecting
:06:20. > :06:25.people to do? They should be creating jobs, not cutting them.
:06:25. > :06:30.People try very hard, but the often complain that they are the only one
:06:30. > :06:36.so there. It is the reaction amongst the people of Derby. They
:06:36. > :06:40.should see this as a tragedy for their services. Staff morale is low.
:06:40. > :06:46.You have people trying to provide good quality service on a reduced
:06:46. > :06:52.the workforce and budget. All that creates pressure and unmanageable
:06:52. > :06:57.workloads. In a statement, the council said it was unfortunate
:06:57. > :07:01.there had to be job losses, but there was no alternative. The
:07:01. > :07:06.council said that it was committed to getting as many voluntary
:07:06. > :07:12.redundancies as possible. So they would be offering an enhanced
:07:12. > :07:17.packaged to any staff the volunteered to leave. Staffing
:07:17. > :07:22.costs are only a percentage of the savings which need to be made. More
:07:22. > :07:31.cuts in services are inevitable. The council has not said where they
:07:31. > :07:34.will be yet. Still to come on the programme -
:07:34. > :07:39.going nowhere. Forest boss Steve McClaren tells us frustrations have
:07:39. > :07:43.been vented by both him and the board. But he's not quitting.
:07:43. > :07:46.And we have an ex hurricane on the way as we head towards the weekend.
:07:46. > :07:49.It is skipping the States and crossing the pond and working its
:07:49. > :07:59.way towards us bringing some strong winds and potentially heavy rain. I
:07:59. > :08:02.
:08:02. > :08:06.Next tonight, the many thousands of patients rushed to hospital only to
:08:06. > :08:08.face delays when they get there. East Midlands Today has uncovered
:08:08. > :08:13.more evidence of the strain that our accident and emergency units
:08:13. > :08:16.are under. A freedom of information request by
:08:16. > :08:19.the BBC has revealed huge increases in the number of patients having to
:08:19. > :08:28.wait longer to be handed over by ambulance staff to hospital medical
:08:28. > :08:33.teams. Live now to our Health Correspondent Rob Sissons.
:08:33. > :08:42.Those delays are not just act at the un -- the queue and see, right
:08:42. > :08:52.across the region. -- QM see. The fear is that hold-ups are reducing
:08:52. > :08:53.
:08:53. > :08:58.the fire poor power of ambulance crews our A&E units are under
:08:58. > :09:04.strain. After being stretchered and, the handover to the hospital team
:09:04. > :09:08.typically involves a brief consultation and the transfer of
:09:08. > :09:16.information. The target is to do this within 15 minutes of arrival.
:09:16. > :09:20.Increasingly, it is being missed. We have a spike in demand, activity
:09:20. > :09:26.increases and lots of patience, do the hospital at the same time.
:09:26. > :09:30.we can reveal the extent of the handover hold ups. Last year,
:09:31. > :09:39.across the East Midlands, over 98,000 patients had to wait longer
:09:39. > :09:44.than the target time of 15 minutes. And Nottingham's QMC had the
:09:44. > :09:50.biggest delays. Leicester's handover doubled. The ambulance
:09:50. > :09:54.service say improvements are needed. We are under strain, but for the
:09:55. > :10:00.vast majority of the time, the system works very well. It is when
:10:00. > :10:07.they get peaks in demand, and they are often unpredictable, that we
:10:07. > :10:15.struggle. This patient was taken in with chest pains. His handover was
:10:15. > :10:25.up two minutes. He was impressed, but it was quiet. It is good when
:10:25. > :10:27.
:10:27. > :10:32.it has been like that. They do a lot here. The hospital stresses
:10:32. > :10:34.that that the more seriously ill patients are always prioritise.
:10:34. > :10:39.Hospitals across the East Midlands are putting together action plans
:10:39. > :10:47.to sort this out. The problems, if they carry on, may get worse over
:10:47. > :10:57.the winter. Maybe the fact that this barrier spiralling demand and
:10:57. > :11:03.
:11:03. > :11:05.finite resources, solutions may be more competent
:11:05. > :11:08.British detectives who are reviewing the search for Madeleine
:11:08. > :11:10.McCann have travelled to Portugal for formal meetings with the
:11:10. > :11:12.authorities there. Scotland Yard says its officers have conducted
:11:12. > :11:15.face-to-face discussions with police who led the massive hunt
:11:15. > :11:18.when Madeleine disappeared. She was nearly four when she went missing
:11:18. > :11:21.from Praia da Luz in the Algarve in 2007. The Metropolitan Police has
:11:21. > :11:23.begun to review the original investigation after a request from
:11:23. > :11:26.the Home Secretary. A 45-year-old man who was assaulted
:11:26. > :11:29.in Nottingham just over a week ago has died. Rajkumar Thurairajah was
:11:29. > :11:32.found with serious injuries on Lawson Street in Radford. A man has
:11:32. > :11:34.been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and actual
:11:34. > :11:38.bodily harm. A man seriously injured in a road
:11:38. > :11:40.crash involving a drunk driver says he wishes the motorist had not been
:11:40. > :11:43.sent to prison. 69-year-old Peter Small from Sileby in Leicestershire
:11:43. > :11:46.suffered head injuries and now uses a wheelchair. But he asked the
:11:46. > :11:52.courts to order the driver and passenger to carry out voluntary
:11:52. > :11:55.service instead of going to jail. Helen Astle reports.
:11:56. > :11:59.Peter Small is still recovering from the crash which happened in
:11:59. > :12:04.October last year. He suffered multiple injuries including a
:12:04. > :12:09.smashed leg which may still have to be amputated. He had a fractured
:12:09. > :12:17.pelvis, a broken arm and cracked ribs. It hit a had happened when I
:12:17. > :12:22.was 40, I might have had a different attitude because of my
:12:22. > :12:27.responsibilities. But it did not. Peter was travelling along here
:12:27. > :12:32.when he was involved in a head-on clash. The driver of the other car
:12:32. > :12:36.was drunk, was not insured and did not have a driving licence. After
:12:36. > :12:42.the accident, Peter road to the Crown Prosecution Service asking
:12:42. > :12:46.for the drunk driver and his passenger not to be sent to prison.
:12:46. > :12:56.These two las Arab the beginning of their lives, they are both young. I
:12:56. > :12:58.
:12:58. > :13:03.would hate to think that something, for me which is not as bad as all
:13:03. > :13:08.that would turn into something very unfortunate for them. Despite his
:13:08. > :13:13.pleas, the pair were jailed yesterday. I do not want this to
:13:13. > :13:18.last on my conscience too long. If they wish to see be, I would be
:13:18. > :13:24.very happy to talk to them about it. What do you hope to achieve?
:13:24. > :13:32.would hope that they can continue their lives and rebuild their lives.

:14:14. > :14:17.The city council is deciding whether to bring in a five-term
:14:17. > :14:20.school year with four weeks holiday in the summer. The authority
:14:20. > :14:22.believes this would enable pupils to achieve higher standards. Next
:14:22. > :14:24.month the council will start considering the opinions it has
:14:24. > :14:27.gathered. Next tonight, police in parts of
:14:27. > :14:30.Leicester have begun a crackdown on muggers. Operation Harvest has been
:14:30. > :14:33.prompted by a rise in burglaries and street robberies in the east of
:14:33. > :14:40.the city. Paul Bradshaw has been to meet one of the victims who says
:14:40. > :14:46.she will never get over it. Mary Adams was mobbed at a bus-stop
:14:46. > :14:56.earlier this year. Her thieves stole and necklace bought by her
:14:56. > :14:59.
:14:59. > :15:05.has been the day before he died. She says she will never get over it.
:15:05. > :15:15.It was dreadful. Her story is not unique. Police are now taking form

:15:17. > :15:25.were action. There were two a muggings in the area. Two remember
:15:25. > :15:28.were robbed by the same man. Both burglaries and muggings have shot

:15:51. > :15:55.try to make communities feel safer. Every victim of a crime, it causes
:15:55. > :16:01.distress and upset. If we can prevent attacks from taking place,
:16:01. > :16:08.it is better for everybody. We are trying to help people from becoming

:16:39. > :16:41.Forest manager Steve McClaren insists he is bemused about stories

:17:03. > :17:05.
:17:05. > :17:12.a turbulent few weeks at the city Ground. What happened last Friday?
:17:12. > :17:18.That is a good question. I was away went all that was going on back
:17:18. > :17:26.home. Frustrations were vented and points were made. Things have
:17:26. > :17:29.settled down. We know the parameters we are working with them.
:17:29. > :17:37.Did you ever think of quitting? do not know with a story has come
:17:37. > :17:42.from. My commitment is to the players, to the players in that

:17:52. > :17:54.
:17:54. > :17:59.joining, he the board were at loggerheads. It is frustrating, the
:17:59. > :18:07.players we have not been able to get. It must all seem it so
:18:07. > :18:17.familiar to Forest fans. Another transfer window has come and gone
:18:17. > :18:18.
:18:18. > :18:26.Ambleside names. -- and no signings. Steve McClaren is now building
:18:26. > :18:29.bridges with the board. It is something that does take time. If
:18:29. > :18:36.it had come straight away, everybody would have been delighted,
:18:36. > :18:46.but it has to be expected. It has been put to bed. McLaren is moving
:18:46. > :18:50.
:18:50. > :18:53.What an evening yesterday for Notts County. What an honour. At Italian
:18:53. > :18:57.giants Juventus to help them open their new stadium with the first
:18:57. > :19:02.game ever played there. A massive reward for the decision by one man
:19:02. > :19:06.over 100 ago to send Juve an old Notts kit.
:19:06. > :19:16.The replacement for the old and and loved Stadium of Juventus is

:19:40. > :19:49.the team to Juventus is surreal. Why the honour? It is black and

:19:59. > :20:12.
:20:12. > :20:18.Make one Notts County against A penalty in the second half. The

:20:34. > :20:35.
:20:35. > :20:39.started to irritate. The first visitor to score a goal at

:21:00. > :21:04.All our Championship sides are away this weekend. Leicester are off to
:21:04. > :21:12.Barnsley and Derby to Coventry as the season gets a bit of a restart
:21:12. > :21:16.after the international break. The characters that came in during
:21:16. > :21:23.the summer have proved it on and off the pitch. We have a good
:21:23. > :21:33.camaraderie. It is a very important moment now. There are five games
:21:33. > :21:33.
:21:33. > :21:38.before the next international break. I think it is important that those
:21:38. > :21:40.five of one. And, as ever, all four clubs have
:21:40. > :21:43.full live coverage on your BBC local radio stations. Brilliant
:21:43. > :21:46.commentators bringing you the games. What more could you want?
:21:46. > :21:49.Before we leave football, I would like to mention Ilkeston FC. They
:21:49. > :21:51.missed out on non-league day last weekend. So they're offering Derby
:21:51. > :21:54.and Forest season ticket holders half price entry to tomorrow's game
:21:54. > :21:57.with Quorn. Just 3.50. Got to be worth a punt.
:21:57. > :21:59.In rugby, it is away games for Leicester Tigers, off to old
:21:59. > :22:04.sparring partners Wasps, and for Nottingham who go to Moseley.
:22:04. > :22:07.Results and action here on Monday. Meanwhile Martin Johnson's England
:22:07. > :22:10.take on Argentina in the World Cup in New Zealand. Good luck to all
:22:10. > :22:13.the Tigers in the squad against the Pumas tomorrow morning. But there's
:22:13. > :22:16.already been an East Midlands player in action. Nottingham
:22:16. > :22:20.Rugby's Sione Kalamafoni played for Tonga in the opening game of the
:22:20. > :22:24.tournament earlier today. He was on the wrong end of a 41-10 defeat to
:22:24. > :22:27.the All Blacks. Finally cricket, and all three of
:22:27. > :22:31.our counties in action. Notts in all sorts of trouble, following on
:22:31. > :22:34.at Edgbaston. An intriguing last day in prospect in Derby. Kent
