:00:07. > :00:11.This is East Midlands Today. Our top story tonight, the first big
:00:12. > :00:17.storm of the year. Roads were closed and power supplies were cut
:00:17. > :00:21.as high winds buffeted the region. There are relieved that it did it
:00:21. > :00:26.hot -- did not hit anyone and it came at a time of Wight -- time of
:00:26. > :00:31.night when there was little traffic. Or so a family's discussed as and
:00:31. > :00:37.87-year-old woman was forced to lie here in the cold and wet for two
:00:37. > :00:42.hours, waiting for an ambulance. Plus action stations - engineers

:00:59. > :01:04.And making a big splash, the event Good evening. Welcome to tonight's
:01:04. > :01:09.programme. We begin with the first big storm of the year to hit our
:01:09. > :01:14.region. Severe winds sq caused major disruption today with gusts
:01:14. > :01:18.of up to 60 mph. Hundreds of homes were left without power and
:01:18. > :01:22.motorists were hard hit as trees and branches fell on to roads. Our
:01:22. > :01:27.reporter Geeta Pendse is at the Highways Agency control room where
:01:27. > :01:31.they have been monitoring the situation. Yes, the strong winds
:01:31. > :01:35.have meant it has been a busy couple of days here Abbey Highways
:01:35. > :01:39.Agency control room. All these screens might at the major routes
:01:39. > :01:43.in our region and they had to deal with an overturned lorry this
:01:43. > :01:46.morning and cars spinning on the carriageway. It seems more
:01:46. > :01:50.disruption has occurred on minor routes with trees falling. Simon
:01:50. > :01:56.hare has been looking at the polls scale of the clearance operation
:01:56. > :02:03.across the region. It had stood tall for around 120 years. But for
:02:03. > :02:08.much of today, this large beech tree lay blocking the A608 in
:02:08. > :02:12.Derbyshire. It was simply operated by the strong winds in the early
:02:12. > :02:19.hours of this morning. It was at a time of the night when there was
:02:19. > :02:23.very little traffic so if it had been now, it would have been a
:02:23. > :02:29.major disaster for somebody. If that tree had hit them, it would
:02:29. > :02:32.have been deadly. But it also leads to a windfall of a different kind.
:02:32. > :02:37.Somebody has got a benefit out of this. A lot of people are
:02:37. > :02:43.collecting locks which will help them with their fuel bill and also
:02:43. > :02:47.collecting money for Derbyshire Wish. And at Woodthorpe in
:02:47. > :02:51.Nottingham, one family could not get out of their front door after a
:02:51. > :02:57.tree fell in front of it. Electricity engineers have also
:02:57. > :03:04.been busy restoring power to homes. Tonight, an estimated 500
:03:04. > :03:11.households are still cut off in the The wider clear apple storm damage
:03:11. > :03:15.is expected to last several days -- clear-up of storm damage. Lots of
:03:15. > :03:19.trees across the whole of the county. It normally happens in the
:03:19. > :03:23.North or south of the county. 30 odd trees fallen on the highway, a
:03:23. > :03:29.dangerous situation. But at Chaddesden in Derby, the clean-up
:03:29. > :03:39.of a different kind was required. The city council's new bags for
:03:39. > :03:39.
:03:39. > :03:43.recycling cardboard were blamed for As we understand it, the majority
:03:43. > :03:46.of incidents have now been cleared up. The advice of the Highways
:03:47. > :03:53.Agency to drivers is to be prepared and tune into your local radio
:03:53. > :03:57.station for any disruptions. just how strong was the strongest
:03:57. > :04:03.gust? And can we expect a quieter time tonight?
:04:04. > :04:13.We had many gusts in excess of 60 mph but the good news is things
:04:14. > :04:16.
:04:16. > :04:20.seem to be settling down. I will Before that, friends and family of
:04:20. > :04:23.and 87-year-old woman have described how she was left for
:04:24. > :04:27.nearly two hours lying on the ground in the wet and cold awaiting
:04:27. > :04:31.an ambulance. Elsie Hubbard broke her hip after falling in the back
:04:31. > :04:37.garden. Her friends say it is disgusting she had to wait that
:04:37. > :04:43.long. Elsie Hubbard is now recovering in
:04:43. > :04:48.hospital. Be it is seven-year-old broker hip falling outside her home
:04:48. > :04:54.in Leicestershire. She was lying on the concrete out here in the White.
:04:54. > :04:58.Family friend John Straw found her. He immediately rang 999. We told
:04:58. > :05:03.her help was on its way. In fact it was another two hours before the
:05:03. > :05:08.ambulance took her. It was over an hour before a paramedic turned up.
:05:08. > :05:12.It was cold and wet last Friday. Neighbours rushed round with duvets
:05:12. > :05:17.and blankets, laid them over her to try to keep her warm. We were
:05:17. > :05:21.trying to keep her dry but she was already wet because she had been on
:05:21. > :05:24.wet ground exposed. She was getting cold. She says her treatment at the
:05:25. > :05:29.Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham has been fantastic. But
:05:29. > :05:36.filmed on a phone, she had strong words about her weight for an
:05:36. > :05:40.ambulance. I was disgusted. You don't treat animals like that.
:05:40. > :05:43.Midlands Ambulance Service told us a paramedic arrived after 53
:05:43. > :05:48.minutes and an ambulance was dispatched within another 20
:05:48. > :05:51.minutes. They said they were busy dealing with immediately life-
:05:51. > :05:56.threatening incidents on that day but they were sorry for any
:05:56. > :06:03.distress caused. Not good enough, says brother, Peter, who she lives
:06:03. > :06:08.with. Ridiculous, isn't it? They reckon they do it within so many
:06:08. > :06:13.minutes, it is all bunkum. It is disgraceful. This is and 87-year-
:06:13. > :06:19.old woman who is vulnerable at the best of times. A great deal of
:06:19. > :06:25.distress lying in the cold in a huge amount of pain. She has had an
:06:25. > :06:29.operation and is now recovering well.
:06:29. > :06:32.A firefighter had to be taken to hospital this morning along with
:06:32. > :06:37.the man he had rescued from a burning building in Nottingham.
:06:37. > :06:41.Crews were called to the three storey home in Carlton Road in
:06:41. > :06:46.Sneinton. The firefighter has since been released and is expected to
:06:46. > :06:53.return to duty. Day 39-year-old man arrested in connection with the
:06:53. > :06:56.fire remains in police custody. More than �300,000 is to be spent
:06:56. > :07:00.in Nottingham helping rough sleepers from Eastern Europe. The
:07:00. > :07:04.homeless charity Framework received the money from the Government and
:07:04. > :07:08.the City Council. So are -- staff say the problem has been rising
:07:08. > :07:12.with one man dying in November. Cash will be spent on health
:07:12. > :07:19.programmes and helping people to return to their own countries.
:07:19. > :07:23.This weekend, a flyover which joins two of our major motorways is being
:07:23. > :07:28.demolished. The Catthorpe Interchange, from tomorrow, where
:07:28. > :07:33.the M6 meets the M1, is being closed for 36 hours. It will mean a
:07:33. > :07:37.lengthy diversion. Preparing for the demolition -
:07:37. > :07:41.above and by the side of two of England's busiest motorways. With a
:07:41. > :07:51.new viaduct complete and already in use, this weekend, the race will be
:07:51. > :07:54.on to remove the old one. This is in the old fast-lane of the M6. The
:07:54. > :07:59.job now is to demolish the old viaduct and that is what will
:07:59. > :08:03.happen over the next three days. Costing more than �20 million, the
:08:03. > :08:07.new viaduct was needed because quite literally the old one was
:08:07. > :08:12.falling down. For more than one decade, props like this have kept
:08:12. > :08:18.its standing. Just under 5,000 tonnes of concrete were taken away
:08:18. > :08:21.in the demolition waste and we have got about 10-12 machines excavating
:08:21. > :08:25.the bridge during that time in a very co-ordinated operation. This
:08:25. > :08:29.bridge demolition also on the M1 shows what will happen over the
:08:30. > :08:33.weekend. Instead of blowing it up, contractors will nibble away at the
:08:33. > :08:37.concrete until it has been completely removed. But the
:08:37. > :08:39.demolition will mean a lengthy diversions for some drivers. There
:08:39. > :08:43.diversions for some drivers. There of the closures of the M1
:08:43. > :08:48.northbound between junctions 19 and 20 and southbound between junctions
:08:48. > :08:57.19 and 18. Drivers wanting to join the M6 from the place for -- M1
:08:57. > :09:01.Are you confident you can do it? Absolutely, we have got a good team
:09:01. > :09:11.on board. It is meticulously planned. And if it is, both
:09:11. > :09:11.
:09:11. > :09:16.motorway should be fully opened by We look next at the challenges
:09:16. > :09:19.facing the NHS over it coming years. With the Government keen to push
:09:19. > :09:23.through the biggest reforms in the history of the service, it is
:09:23. > :09:28.likely that health will never be far from the headlines. There is
:09:28. > :09:32.talk of the NHS budget being protected but the charges are huge.
:09:32. > :09:39.The ageing population, the obesity problem and the concern that the
:09:39. > :09:46.money is not keeping pace with The NHS is undergoing the biggest
:09:46. > :09:50.reforms in its 64 year history. Way back in 1948, it had a budget of
:09:51. > :09:54.�437 million. That works out at about �9 billion in today's money.
:09:54. > :09:59.Over the next year, the budget to the front line in England will be
:09:59. > :10:04.10 times that at �91 billion. But there's concern that funding is not
:10:04. > :10:07.keeping up with demand. I have been to Derby and Derbyshire to see how
:10:07. > :10:11.there's pressure there to make money got a lot further.
:10:11. > :10:16.You could not miss the wind in Derby today and people also seemed
:10:16. > :10:22.well aware of the winds of change sweeping the NHS. Many have their
:10:22. > :10:26.own ideas of improvement this year. They should get rid of the middle
:10:26. > :10:31.management would get everywhere in any government thing. Personally I
:10:31. > :10:35.think a lot of people come over to be subsidised by the NHS in the UK.
:10:35. > :10:39.I know it is not as good probably 12 months ago. I made a GP who
:10:39. > :10:44.fears that with money tied, waiting lists will go up. Something has got
:10:44. > :10:48.to give up. It's a question of which Park will give up first. I am
:10:48. > :10:52.not sure what the answer is when money is tight across the whole
:10:52. > :10:56.nation. This frontline GP in Darley Dale is one of those leading
:10:56. > :11:06.radical change taking over the purse strings of the NHS. But with
:11:06. > :11:11.financial pressure, is the timing of these changes terrible? Quite
:11:11. > :11:14.the contrary. I think it makes us even more important that clinicians
:11:14. > :11:19.are involved in the decisions for stops to James is the chief
:11:19. > :11:23.executive of the Royal Derby Hospital, a 3% rise in funding lies
:11:23. > :11:27.ahead in April but she doubts that will keep pace with demand. She has
:11:27. > :11:34.to make the money go further. you look at a frail, elderly person,
:11:34. > :11:38.they can pop in and out of hospital particularly if they live in a
:11:38. > :11:42.nursing home. We are working to keep those patients in their normal
:11:42. > :11:47.place of residence. The workforce in Derby hospitals is expected to
:11:47. > :11:51.go down by 200. If nursing posts go because we are closing wards or
:11:51. > :11:58.whatever, we hold vacancies so that we have got vacancies for those
:11:58. > :12:02.nurses to go into. So the pressure is increasing and if winter gets
:12:03. > :12:07.harsher, then it will be harder for the NHS to save money.
:12:07. > :12:11.Staying with health, and a woman who spent years battling at an
:12:11. > :12:15.eating disorder says doctors need to intervene in cases like her as
:12:15. > :12:19.much earlier. Catherine Thomson from Derby had anorexia though
:12:20. > :12:23.thankfully she is getting better. So much so that she is now 15 weeks
:12:23. > :12:31.pregnant. Katherine said she only found the help she needed after she
:12:31. > :12:37.lost several stone and was rushed to hospital.
:12:37. > :12:42.Catherine Thomson A is on the rate to recovery. It was not always the
:12:42. > :12:48.way. She spent the past seven years fighting food. Towards the end it
:12:48. > :12:51.was going from a spoon of yoghurt to a smaller spin of yoghurt to a
:12:51. > :12:57.teaspoon of sugar free jelly and and that became too much. I did not
:12:57. > :13:03.eat for weeks. I could not sleep because of hunger pains and because
:13:03. > :13:07.all my bones were sticking out. Catherine shared a staggering five
:13:07. > :13:11.stones dropping from a healthy size 12 to smaller than a size six. But

:13:23. > :13:27.off with go and eat some biscuits. My mind said was so controlling and
:13:27. > :13:34.I think there's not enough help out there for people who are suffering
:13:34. > :13:37.but might not be hugely overweight or underweight. In fact it was when
:13:38. > :13:45.her trip to hospital after collapsing that she said she found
:13:45. > :13:51.the help she needed. It came from consultants and an eating disorder
:13:51. > :13:55.charity. I a lot of people have to hit critical points before they get
:13:55. > :13:59.intervention. We are working to get training to NHS staff and
:13:59. > :14:04.clinicians. We have been going into GPs' surgeries across the county.
:14:04. > :14:08.Even now, 18 months on and pregnant, Catherine admits she still finds it
:14:08. > :14:13.hard. The voices are still there and probably will always be there
:14:13. > :14:18.to a certain extent and it gives me that extra help to battle them
:14:18. > :14:25.every day. It is possible to recover, it is just hard. But you
:14:25. > :14:28.A college is going ahead with a massive installation of solar
:14:28. > :14:31.panels, even though the subsidy paid by Government for solar energy
:14:31. > :14:37.is being cut. The project at Bilborough College in Nottingham is
:14:38. > :14:42.one of the biggest in the country. Simon Ward reports.
:14:42. > :14:46.It was a windy day to be making preparations to capture the power
:14:46. > :14:49.of the sun but 400 solar panels are to be fitted to the Sports Centre
:14:49. > :14:54.at Bilborough College. These students are studying environmental
:14:54. > :15:00.issues and are fully behind the project. The majority of the energy
:15:00. > :15:03.used here will be going towards the college and saving money and
:15:03. > :15:07.obviously the more energy produced by the solar panels, the less
:15:07. > :15:11.carbon emissions the colleges producing. We're running out of
:15:11. > :15:15.things like oil and if we don't switch to swerve -- solar power and
:15:15. > :15:19.wind power, we will struggle to keep up the lifestyle we got.
:15:19. > :15:24.college would have got about 19p p Mirabella Tuesday but that is due
:15:24. > :15:28.to be cut to around 13p by April although the government is facing a
:15:28. > :15:31.legal challenge. It is hoped the solar panels will generate around
:15:31. > :15:35.10 % of the energy needs of the sports hall and despite a
:15:35. > :15:39.government trying to cut the subsidy, the colour -- the college
:15:39. > :15:44.still feels it is worthwhile. the management team first look at
:15:44. > :15:48.this, we were looking at the original tariffs but having done
:15:48. > :15:55.that a lot of work on the long-term benefits, we feel it is clearly
:15:55. > :16:05.worth doing. We have looked at the other drivers that make this
:16:05. > :16:07.
:16:07. > :16:17.appealing to them. We did glimpse the Sun today but everybody at the
:16:17. > :16:20.
:16:20. > :16:23.college is hoping to see more this year.
:16:23. > :16:26.And now a tale about the philanthropy of philately, or how
:16:26. > :16:29.the gift of more than a million used stamps has left charity
:16:29. > :16:32.volunteers speechless. The stamps arrived packed into 24 sacks. The
:16:32. > :16:37.money raised will be used to help soldiers in Afghanistan. As Carol
:16:37. > :16:42.Hinds reports. Alex Wyndham and her aunt get to
:16:42. > :16:46.grips with one of the biggest donations they have ever received.
:16:46. > :16:54.A 10-year-old from Leicester was left speechless at the sight of 24
:16:54. > :17:04.bags full of used stamps. When I walked in, I could not believe it.
:17:04. > :17:04.
:17:04. > :17:09.We have found some old ones since 1973 and 1937. It could be worth
:17:09. > :17:13.over �1,000. It is the biggest stamp donation I have ever seen.
:17:13. > :17:17.Money raised by a stamp appeal helps the Leicester branch of the
:17:17. > :17:27.support our soldiers at charity to send welfare parcels to those
:17:27. > :17:29.
:17:29. > :17:36.serving in Afghanistan. I run a family support group for people
:17:36. > :17:40.whose loved ones are away. There are 24 sacks and it will take
:17:40. > :17:44.months to go through every single stamp. Mind you, any valuable ones
:17:44. > :17:49.means more money to the charity. They have already found some
:17:49. > :17:54.interesting stamps and the sax. Alex plans to boost the numbers she
:17:54. > :17:57.collects this year with help from the public. I am making a box to
:17:57. > :18:02.put some stamps in and giving it out to companies so they can
:18:02. > :18:12.collect stamps. Anyone wanting any of the boxes of send stamps should
:18:12. > :18:12.
:18:12. > :18:17.contact the charity's website. A lot of people will be doing that
:18:17. > :18:21.now. Time for some sport and it's time to look at the transfer window.
:18:21. > :18:23.Yes, it's January, so transfer talk is the order of the day. But Forest
:18:23. > :18:26.manager Steve Cotterill says he wishes there wasn't a transfer
:18:26. > :18:34.window at this point in the season. The Reds have already turned down
:18:34. > :18:39.bids for several key players. never want to buy anybody in this
:18:39. > :18:43.window because the price is inflated. If you want to do
:18:43. > :18:49.anything, you want to sell them but you don't want to sell your best
:18:49. > :18:56.players. I don't understand and the transfer window really. It puts
:18:56. > :18:59.managers and the immense pressure. Meanwhile, Notts County are making
:18:59. > :19:02.the most of the chance to boost their squad. Damion Stewart has
:19:02. > :19:05.signed on loan until the end of the season. The defender has joined
:19:05. > :19:07.from Bristol City and has 55 international caps with Jamaica.
:19:08. > :19:10.The Leicester City manager, Nigel Pearson, has told us he's resigned
:19:11. > :19:13.to losing Sol Bamba for this weekend's FA Cup tie with Forest.
:19:14. > :19:17.Pearson would have liked to have played the defender, but the Ivory
:19:17. > :19:20.Coast FA are insisting he joins them for a training squad ahead of
:19:20. > :19:23.this month's Africa Cup of Nations. On to rugby and Leicester Tigers
:19:23. > :19:26.take on Wasps this weekend. It's usually a clash between two of the
:19:26. > :19:29.top teams, but this season, while the Tigers have climbed the table,
:19:29. > :19:32.Wasps are still struggling. But one thing is the same, George Chuter
:19:32. > :19:35.will be in the Leicester line-up after clocking up his 240th
:19:35. > :19:38.Premiership game for the club. No- one in the division has played more
:19:38. > :19:43.Premiership games. Jeremy Nicholas reports.
:19:43. > :19:46.George is such a part of the Leicester team, it is easy to
:19:46. > :19:52.forget he is a London boy. I'll always remember him from the
:19:52. > :20:00.outside when I was at Saracens. We did not like Leicester but there
:20:00. > :20:04.was always a respect about what they built appear. -- built at here.
:20:04. > :20:12.Everybody has did Leicester because they were so successful. We were
:20:12. > :20:16.bitter rivals at that time. I would have laughed in-your-face if you
:20:16. > :20:23.had told me I'd be playing for Leicester to 12 years. He clocked
:20:23. > :20:29.up his 240 of Premiership game for Leicester last week. To do it
:20:29. > :20:34.consistently over a long time is hard to do and George has done that.
:20:34. > :20:39.Does it make you feel good to have played so many games in the
:20:39. > :20:48.Premiership? Just old. He will add to his tally this week against
:20:49. > :20:53.Wasps. They will come appear full of fire. You have no idea what he's
:20:53. > :20:58.talking about at any stage in his programme notes. He is a bizarre
:20:58. > :21:01.man. As London 2012 draws ever closer,
:21:01. > :21:04.time now for another look back at the last time we hosted the
:21:04. > :21:13.Olympics. It was 64 years ago, but Kirsty Edwards has been to
:21:13. > :21:20.Southwell to meet a former gymnast who remembers it well.
:21:20. > :21:24.George may be 91 but he is still challenging himself as much as ever.
:21:24. > :21:34.It is this kind of drive that saw him make the gymnastics team for
:21:34. > :21:35.
:21:35. > :21:45.the 1948 London Olympics. It was awe-inspiring in one way. We had
:21:45. > :21:48.
:21:48. > :21:52.not done it before and in those circumstances. I was doing
:21:52. > :22:02.handstands and I used to do them on building boats and on my front gate
:22:02. > :22:04.
:22:04. > :22:09.every day. I never fell off! These days, you'll find the elite
:22:09. > :22:16.gymnasts practising in the gym under the watchful eye of coaches.
:22:16. > :22:21.It is a world away from how George trained. It was freezing in the
:22:21. > :22:28.winter in the gym. There was no heating. We went on the high bar
:22:28. > :22:36.and my hands almost froze. We had coconut mats, like the doormats. In
:22:36. > :22:42.the gym now, the gymnasts cannot work until they have 27 centimetres
:22:42. > :22:50.of matting. Becky Downing has a great chance of making London 2012
:22:50. > :23:00.and it will be different to the 1948 games. We were on the turf in
:23:00. > :23:01.
:23:01. > :23:07.Wembley in the pouring rain. It was rather deflating. Did you go to
:23:07. > :23:12.Beijing? Yes. Massive crowds and it was a phenomenal experience. The
:23:12. > :23:21.whole atmosphere was amazing. is hoping that Becky will be
:23:21. > :23:28.creating more amazing Olympic Mary -- memories.
:23:28. > :23:31.Some things change but the sense of competitiveness remains the same.
:23:31. > :23:34.Did you know that around one in five people, and that includes
:23:34. > :23:37.adults and children, can't swim. Hopefully though, that number could
:23:37. > :23:39.soon be dropping thanks to a new scheme aimed at getting more people
:23:39. > :23:42.into the swimming pool. Today, local swimming stars, youngsters
:23:42. > :23:52.and even our own trunks-clad reporter Paul Bradshaw, joined a
:23:52. > :23:57.
:23:57. > :24:02.special training session in Leicester.

:24:06. > :24:11.how to improve this winning technique. The event was in
:24:11. > :24:15.preparation for the world's biggest fund-raising swim this spring.
:24:15. > :24:20.great to have launches like this for the swimmer on. It creates a
:24:20. > :24:26.lot of awareness and money for the charities. It gets kids involved at
:24:26. > :24:34.the age. It is important to get everybody involved in swimming. It
:24:34. > :24:38.is fantastic for East Midlands to get everybody involved. If we can
:24:38. > :24:43.find the next great swimmer from Leicester, that would be fantastic.
:24:43. > :24:47.With around one in five adults and children unable to swim, organises

:24:51. > :24:56.statistics but there are lots of plays -- things in place to change
:24:56. > :25:00.that. Schools were men is important than trying to get centres to
:25:00. > :25:08.increase adult swimming lessons but also to get children to encourage
:25:08. > :25:13.their parents to come down as well. It is all for a good cause, raising
:25:13. > :25:17.money for money Cury and Sport Relief. The summer fund will take
:25:18. > :25:27.place on the 27th of 29th April, giving everybody the chance to take

:25:41. > :25:47.Were they Chancellor shot? I was It was the persistence of the
:25:47. > :25:54.strong wins this morning causing all the damage. This photo was
:25:54. > :25:58.taken this morning of fallen trees. The reason things are starting to
:25:58. > :26:03.settle down is that we are seeing that area of low pressure pushing
:26:03. > :26:07.away and those isobars getting further apart. Gradually, those
:26:07. > :26:12.wins will ease. As we go through this evening, we do have a bit of
:26:12. > :26:16.cloud around. But for most, it is a dry and clear night. The
:26:16. > :26:21.temperatures will fall quite quickly, down to a minimum of one
:26:21. > :26:28.degree Celsius. We do have some standing water on the ground and we
:26:28. > :26:31.might see some icy patches. We still do have windy conditions
:26:31. > :26:36.overnight but it won't be as guest beers what we've been having
:26:36. > :26:41.recently. Tomorrow morning, a decent amount of sunshine and we
:26:41. > :26:49.will notice the cloud bubbling up a bit as we go into the afternoon. It
:26:49. > :26:54.should be mostly dry with a small chance of an occasional shower. The
:26:54. > :26:58.winds are much lighter by the time we get a Friday afternoon. As we
:26:58. > :27:04.going to Saturday, we will continue with these lighter winds and there
:27:04. > :27:07.will be some sunshine around. Some cloud increase as we go through the
:27:07. > :27:14.day and Sunday, a good deal of dry weather and a good deal of winter
:27:14. > :27:18.sunshine. We are ending the week and a much quieter note. Looking at
