:00:06. > :00:09.This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale. And me, Kylie

:00:09. > :00:16.Pentelow. Our top story tonight: A new war of words over Bombardier's

:00:17. > :00:22.lost contract. Union anger about the Thames linked

:00:22. > :00:26.deal. We do not know the basis on which it was accepted and to keep

:00:26. > :00:32.this out of the public domain is outrageous.

:00:32. > :00:37.Also, praying for help. For a plea to our government from our churches.

:00:37. > :00:42.Sort out the metal thieves before they destroy our buildings and our

:00:42. > :00:47.budgets. Plus a capital idea. What Boris

:00:47. > :00:52.Johnson thinks Leicester can learn from London.

:00:52. > :01:02.And after 15 years of trying, a couple welcome twins on New year's

:01:02. > :01:11.

:01:11. > :01:14.Good evening, welcome to Tuesday's programme and our first full

:01:14. > :01:17.programme of 2012. First tonight: show us the money. That's the call

:01:17. > :01:22.from a union and MPs in the row over Bombardier's lost Thameslink

:01:22. > :01:25.contract. They want Siemens of Germany to

:01:25. > :01:28.publish the financial details of their winning bid for the �1.4

:01:28. > :01:30.billion order. It could help explain why the rail carriages are

:01:30. > :01:33.to be built near Dusseldorf instead of in Derby.

:01:33. > :01:37.But tonight a senior manager at Siemens in the UK said putting the

:01:37. > :01:47.figures in the public domain is not a good idea. Mike O'Sullivan is in

:01:47. > :01:51.Derby and can tell us more. Workers at Bombardier got a boost between

:01:51. > :02:01.Christmas and the New Year. A new rail contract worth �188 million.

:02:01. > :02:03.

:02:03. > :02:06.It was the Big One That Got Away, Thames Link, that continues Tonight

:02:06. > :02:08.Siemens in the UK rejecting calls to put the financial details of

:02:08. > :02:18.their winning bid under the spotlight. Bombardier not around to

:02:18. > :02:21.

:02:21. > :02:25.comment on whether they'd want It led to Bombardier of Derby

:02:25. > :02:29.announcing a 1400 job losses. Campaigners for the Derby-based

:02:29. > :02:36.company Save the financial details of how Siemens are one should be

:02:36. > :02:40.out in the open. We do not know the basis on which the Siemens bid was

:02:40. > :02:44.accepted for Thames Link. To keep this out of the public domain is

:02:44. > :02:48.outrageous. The transport select committee of MPs has recommended

:02:48. > :02:53.that the financial difference between the bids from Siemens and

:02:53. > :02:57.Bombardier is revealed. But Siemens says shining a light on a

:02:57. > :03:02.competitive tendering process would not be the right thing to do.

:03:02. > :03:05.first reason is that ourselves, as well as all the other people that

:03:05. > :03:08.competed in the process, like Bombardier, signed a process

:03:08. > :03:13.agreement which has very strict requirements regarding

:03:13. > :03:17.confidentiality. That is number one. The second one is that when you are

:03:17. > :03:21.involved in are the very so fierce competitive tendering process, not

:03:21. > :03:25.only in the UK but across the world, I don't think it would be in the

:03:25. > :03:30.interests of ourselves or any other parties. In the tendering process

:03:30. > :03:34.to make that information public. I think it would damage competition

:03:34. > :03:39.and would not be the best value for the fare-paying passenger. Some

:03:39. > :03:42.observers have suggested that Siemens financial clout, with a

:03:42. > :03:47.credit rating higher than Bombardier, was the main reason why

:03:47. > :03:54.Derby lost and tussled of one. Bombardier are not around to

:03:54. > :03:58.comment but they've all -- always a pointed towards the wider impacts

:03:58. > :04:01.to be taken into account. The government has said they will do

:04:01. > :04:11.that now and that is important for Derby because there is another

:04:11. > :04:15.

:04:15. > :04:18.important contract coming up, valued at �1 billion.

:04:18. > :04:21.Next, a crime wave that's sending worshippers through the roof. Last

:04:21. > :04:24.year was the worst on record for people stealing metal from churches

:04:24. > :04:29.- and Nottinghamshire was one of the worst hit areas in the country.

:04:30. > :04:32.We've been given the latest figures today. They show the thefts are

:04:32. > :04:36.costing the county's churches well over �500,00 a year, money they

:04:36. > :04:39.just can't afford. Metal theft is massive, massive

:04:39. > :04:45.business, massive crime and a massive headache and heartache for

:04:45. > :04:49.our churches. They took the lead off the roof, all the way along

:04:49. > :04:55.this side. They took lead from the far corner and down that side.

:04:55. > :04:59.We've had to cover everything with this covering. And we had a

:04:59. > :05:03.tarpaulin on the roof. They fitted every security device going after

:05:03. > :05:07.the lead was ripped off for years ago but that didn't stop thieves

:05:07. > :05:11.coming back recently. Once it has happened, you always think it is

:05:11. > :05:15.going to happen again and when it does the second time, it is

:05:15. > :05:21.devastating. Anglican churches across Nottinghamshire are some of

:05:21. > :05:25.the worst effects is in the country. Latest figures show that in 2010,

:05:25. > :05:29.there were 49 insurance claims. Last year, as you can see, that

:05:29. > :05:33.figure almost doubled and the amount of money they can claim is

:05:33. > :05:37.limited. It is nothing like the amount they need to repair the

:05:37. > :05:43.damage. So the true cost to Nottinghamshire's churches last

:05:43. > :05:48.year was well over 500 million -- �500,000. This latest theft has

:05:48. > :05:53.cost us around �35,000 and we are grateful for people's generosity

:05:53. > :05:56.but we cannot keep on replacing our lead. They want action. The

:05:56. > :06:00.government is looking to change the law to tackle the theft. In

:06:00. > :06:10.Nottinghamshire, the police have been running operation the Talacre,

:06:10. > :06:14.

:06:14. > :06:17.liaising with scrap-metal dealers. -- operation Metallica.

:06:17. > :06:22.Still to come on the programme: force ten winds, fallen trees, and

:06:22. > :06:28.flood warnings. But not here. We've escaped the

:06:28. > :06:32.worst of it but will our luck hold? We are not out of the woods yet.

:06:32. > :06:42.There seems to be a sting in the tail. The winds will strengthen

:06:42. > :06:43.

:06:43. > :06:46.further the season. All the details The Mayor of Leicester Sir Peter

:06:46. > :06:50.Soulsby has kicked off the New Year by pressing the government for new

:06:50. > :06:59.powers to run the city. And London's Mayor Boris Johnson

:06:59. > :07:02.has backed him, saying it'll give Leicester a bigger profile.

:07:03. > :07:11.It's one of the many changes that could shape the local and national

:07:11. > :07:15.political scene in 2012. This is big picture politics.

:07:15. > :07:18.man was the first mayor of Leicester. The mayor of Leicester

:07:18. > :07:23.was the sort of powers once enjoyed by his city's Victorian

:07:23. > :07:29.predecessors. Our public transport is very inadequate. The fire and do

:07:29. > :07:34.my job properly, I need the same powers as Boris has in London.

:07:34. > :07:41.Johnson not only runs transport in the capital but also the police. --

:07:41. > :07:45.Khmer London. It means you know there is some person who is

:07:45. > :07:52.accountable to you and you can hold them to account. If they are not

:07:52. > :07:59.succeeding, you can chuck them out. So should other mayors get tax-

:07:59. > :08:03.raising powers? There is a strong case for that. The mayor of London

:08:03. > :08:06.has additional powers and effect. But debate will start up if mayors

:08:06. > :08:10.are created after next May. Next May, Nottingham, together with

:08:10. > :08:14.other be English -- big English cities, will have a referendum vote

:08:14. > :08:19.on whether it wants a directly Efenechtyd mayor. But could be the

:08:19. > :08:23.cue for the government to give elected mayors are far more powers.

:08:23. > :08:33.Another significant change in 2012 will affect controversial housing

:08:33. > :08:33.

:08:33. > :08:37.and planning issues. The council leaders... There is a large amount

:08:37. > :08:42.of concern about alterations proposed to the planning rules

:08:42. > :08:48.particularly. Some see this as a danger to areas like the green belt

:08:48. > :08:52.and giving carte blanche to am -- to developers to develop without

:08:52. > :09:00.planning permission. A a financial squeeze on household budgets will

:09:00. > :09:04.tighten in 2012. -- the financial squeeze. This political Palmer

:09:04. > :09:08.should will be looking for... big issue is going to the economy,

:09:08. > :09:12.and whether or not we are getting the growth and jobs reneged in the

:09:12. > :09:14.private sector to make up the shortfall in the public sector and

:09:14. > :09:18.are generally for the overall recovery of the country. We have

:09:18. > :09:24.not had any growth. It has been flat lining. The next 12 months,

:09:24. > :09:28.David Cameron has to get growth in the economy. I don't think he will.

:09:28. > :09:35.The Prime Minister says we will get through it. 20121 indicator if he

:09:35. > :09:39.is right. -- 2012 will indicate if he is

:09:39. > :09:44.right. Well, our Political Editor joins us

:09:44. > :09:46.in the studio. And John, the New Year's about to remind us of one of

:09:47. > :09:49.Grantham's best known exports. Yes, the Iron Lady is back. From

:09:49. > :09:55.this Friday, Meryl Streep's movie portrayal of Mrs Thatcher hits the

:09:55. > :09:58.cinema screens. But here's a turn- up. Among the film's extras is the

:09:58. > :10:02.veteran Derbyshire Labour MP Dennis Skinner - the beast of Bolsover

:10:02. > :10:06.himself. The most interesting thing about the extras was there were

:10:06. > :10:10.half a dozen Tory whips out there, probably guarding the place. They

:10:10. > :10:16.were extras as well but they had to sit on the same side as me shouting

:10:16. > :10:20.insults at Thatcher. That was the most amusing part, Tory whips

:10:20. > :10:27.shouting out Thatcher! I asked the Right Honourable Gentleman, whose

:10:27. > :10:31.fault is that? She has always been meticulous in her preparation for

:10:31. > :10:34.her fans, that is why she has won Oscars and been nominated for

:10:34. > :10:39.Oscars countless times and will almost certainly be nominated again.

:10:39. > :10:43.A There's a first. A Dennis Skinner prediction for the Oscars! And

:10:43. > :10:47.while you would struggle to find a statue to Mrs Thatcher in her home

:10:47. > :10:54.town, The Iron Lady is coming to Grantham. I've been assured, the

:10:54. > :10:58.movie will be screened at the town's Reel cinema from Friday.

:10:58. > :11:01.Other news now: Police have named a three-year-old girl who died

:11:01. > :11:03.following a road crash in Derbyshire. Lily Grace Roberts,

:11:03. > :11:06.from Hilton, was seriously injured in the collision, which happened

:11:06. > :11:09.yesterday afternoon on the A50 near Findern. Two vehicles were involved,

:11:09. > :11:13.a silver Nissan, in which Lily Grace was travelling, and a blue

:11:13. > :11:18.lorry. Derbyshire police are asking anyone who saw the incident to

:11:18. > :11:20.contact them. Two men have pleaded not guilty to

:11:20. > :11:23.charges involving the theft of six horses. 48-year-old James Snoddy

:11:23. > :11:26.from Nottingham denies stealing the horses from a field in Calverton

:11:26. > :11:32.last July. 43-year-old Christopher Booth from East Bridgford pleaded

:11:32. > :11:36.not guilty to one charge of possessing stolen horses. After the

:11:36. > :11:40.police found the animals, two had to be put down because they were in

:11:40. > :11:50.poor condition. A trial will take place at Nottingham Crown Court

:11:50. > :11:51.

:11:51. > :11:55.later this year. The countdown has begun to one of

:11:55. > :11:58.the biggest sporting events this country has ever seen. This summer,

:11:58. > :12:00.Leicestershire will be thrust into the global spotlight as both the

:12:00. > :12:03.British and Japanese Olympic teams come to Loughborough University to

:12:03. > :12:11.train. But what will the lasting impact be

:12:11. > :12:14.for the town that's hosting all of these athletes?

:12:14. > :12:17.In six months' time, hundreds of athletes will be making use of

:12:17. > :12:21.these facilities at Loughborough University but it is not just about

:12:21. > :12:24.sport. People in the town are excited about the business

:12:24. > :12:28.opportunities the games will bring. There are not going to be a lot of

:12:28. > :12:31.business benefits because all the retail people are going to get

:12:31. > :12:36.involved, they will be supplying not just the Olympic teams that are

:12:36. > :12:41.based here but their families and their supporters as well. There are

:12:41. > :12:44.local businesses that will benefit from the general high. The facts

:12:44. > :12:47.Loughborough will be more on the map that it already is. The �6

:12:47. > :12:52.million refurbishment of the town's railway station has also helped

:12:52. > :12:55.boost its image. Along with the construction of two new hotels, in

:12:55. > :13:01.anticipation of Olympic business. If there are more people coming in,

:13:01. > :13:06.they will spend more in the area. It is a great opportunity. I think

:13:06. > :13:09.you cannot go wrong with it. There are many shops which have closed so

:13:09. > :13:14.maybe it will improve things. think they are very important.

:13:14. > :13:17.Everybody is struggling for money but the many people bring into the

:13:17. > :13:21.town will be spent here. If the so- called legacy of the Danes will not

:13:21. > :13:25.just be measured in bricks-and- mortar. There will definitely be a

:13:25. > :13:29.physical legacy from the Games but obviously, the softer legacy will

:13:29. > :13:34.be the fact that more people will be motivated by the games and

:13:34. > :13:40.inspired to perhaps pursue a career in athletics was some sort of sport

:13:40. > :13:43.themselves, or just become a bit healthier and fitter. It is hoped

:13:43. > :13:49.the benefits to this town will continue to make a splash for years

:13:49. > :13:53.to come. We all know that blood stocks can

:13:53. > :13:57.run low at this time of year. Donors are in great demand. And the

:13:57. > :14:00.same is true of dogs. The Leicestershire-based charity

:14:00. > :14:10.Pet Blood Bank says its supplies have dwindled over the festive

:14:10. > :14:14.break and it's appealing for dog donors to lend a helping paw.

:14:14. > :14:21.Joe is an ideal blood donor, a young dog which weighs more than 25

:14:21. > :14:27.kilos. He is friendly and fully vaccinated. Last year, we had an

:14:27. > :14:33.accident with our other dog. In the end, she had to have her leg a

:14:33. > :14:38.contented -- amputated. A large dog can donate nearly one pint of blood

:14:38. > :14:41.a time. The supplies are then sold to vet so nationwide. Each donation

:14:41. > :14:50.is split into different components so more than one dog can benefit

:14:51. > :14:54.from each donation. Vets are making very good use of these products.

:14:54. > :15:00.People's perception of what health care for their animals should be

:15:00. > :15:05.has changed over the years. People nowadays expect equivalent levels

:15:05. > :15:09.of health care for their Peps as with themselves. We have to

:15:09. > :15:13.constantly strive to improve the level of health care we produce,

:15:13. > :15:18.using blood and other ways to do that. What is in it for the

:15:18. > :15:28.patients? There is no tea and biscuits, just a tasty bowl of dog

:15:28. > :15:30.

:15:30. > :15:34.food. Still to come on the programme:

:15:34. > :15:42.Glad Tidings, times two. The first day of the New Year heralds twins

:15:42. > :15:47.There's been no rest for our intrepid adventurer Sarah Outen

:15:47. > :15:50.over Christmas and the New Year. She's spent the festive season in

:15:50. > :15:53.training for the next leg of her record-breaking attempt to loop the

:15:53. > :16:01.globe from London to London. She's in Japan, preparing to set

:16:01. > :16:06.off in the spring to row across the Pacific Ocean to Canada.

:16:06. > :16:10.Arriving in Japan after cycling 11,000 miles and kayaking dangerous

:16:10. > :16:16.waters. Since arriving in the country, Sarah has been

:16:16. > :16:19.volunteering in areas worst hit by the earthquake and tsunami. It is

:16:19. > :16:28.particularly poignant seeing some of the stuff that has been washed

:16:28. > :16:32.up, to London's choice -- children's toys, clothes and so on.

:16:32. > :16:37.Back home in Rutland, friends, family and supporters packed vital

:16:37. > :16:41.supplies into her boat. This seven metre-long vessel will be home to

:16:41. > :16:45.Sarah for several months when she attempts to row solo across the

:16:45. > :16:49.Pacific Ocean. But will be the second leg of her record-breaking

:16:49. > :16:56.attempt to cycle, kayak and roll around the world, from London to

:16:56. > :17:05.London. Sara's experience in Japan will always stay with her. It has

:17:05. > :17:08.humbled and silenced me. It has reminded me that the ocean is boss.

:17:08. > :17:13.Messages of love and support have been scrawled on the boat to give

:17:13. > :17:19.her encouragement, including one from her mother. Excited for her

:17:19. > :17:25.but obviously it is a huge, huge expanse of water to row across. But

:17:25. > :17:30.she will do it. She is so determined. Packed with supplies,

:17:30. > :17:40.but was sent off in style. Next stop, Japan, for the woman who

:17:40. > :17:41.

:17:41. > :17:44.wants to break records running here. Good luck to her.

:17:44. > :17:48.What a happy new year. All four clubs enjoying excellent starts to

:17:48. > :17:51.2012. Goals for Forest and a winning streak for Derby on the way,

:17:51. > :17:53.along with a party at Meadow Lane. But first, Leicester City. Today

:17:53. > :17:58.they had an attempt to sign Hull City's Cameron Stewart

:17:59. > :18:01.contemptuously dismissed by Hull. But yesterday they came up with

:18:02. > :18:07.their first win in six games, putting them back in the playoff

:18:07. > :18:11.picture. Nigel Pearson admitted it was not

:18:11. > :18:17.pretty but says his first away win since returning to the foxes was an

:18:17. > :18:21.important one, given the club's lofty expectations. First player

:18:21. > :18:24.opened the scoring against his former side with a touch of the,

:18:24. > :18:34.Kohl and the classy. Watch the keeper smash the ball against his

:18:34. > :18:41.

:18:41. > :18:49.own defender. It was a free kick that led to goal number two. Nigel

:18:49. > :18:52.Pearson had well and truly shaken things up. Palace pulled one back,

:18:52. > :18:58.leaving Leicester to ride out the home pressure. The game ended on a

:18:58. > :19:02.sour note. Through the south London sunshine, an altercation between

:19:02. > :19:07.Howard and the assistant referee led to the striker's dismissal.

:19:07. > :19:12.Howard continued his argument, despite his fate. A big win for the

:19:12. > :19:17.foxes, who stomped home just four points of the play-off places.

:19:17. > :19:20.There were away wins for Derby and Forest too. Derby, who are having a

:19:20. > :19:28.seesaw season, making it three wins on the trot and Forest ending a run

:19:28. > :19:31.of seven games without a goal. At last!

:19:32. > :19:37.You wait 10 hours for a goal, and then three come along all at once.

:19:37. > :19:46.The first came after five minutes. Forest's last goal was by the same

:19:46. > :19:51.player, also by then -- also against it which. -- Ipswich. The

:19:51. > :19:55.tractor boys began to show signs of pulling out of their rut. Having

:19:55. > :19:59.broken for rat, Forest were full of confidence. The second was a belter.

:19:59. > :20:03.Ipswich were still in the game. Thomas hit the bar from a distance.

:20:03. > :20:07.No one was able to put the ball in from the rebound. When Thomas went

:20:08. > :20:14.over in the box, had such were given a penalty and Grant scored

:20:14. > :20:18.from the spot. This player masterminded the victory with no

:20:18. > :20:27.passes. Forest would like to play at which every week. Derby have had

:20:27. > :20:33.a cracking Christmas with three wins in a row. Derby coach says it

:20:33. > :20:36.may not have been the best performance but praised the side's

:20:36. > :20:40.effort. When the chance came, it fell to Robinson after the break,

:20:40. > :20:46.who took his time before sliding it underneath the keeper. The Rams had

:20:46. > :20:53.a chance to add to their lead but did not get the run of the green.

:20:53. > :21:02.After that, Derby put up stubborn resistance. The Hull bourse said

:21:02. > :21:09.they set out to frustrate his side and they succeeded.

:21:09. > :21:11.While the Championship clubs all celebrated, so did Notts County.
