:01:08. > :01:11.programme. First tonight, the convicted conman back in court
:01:11. > :01:15.after his company took thousands of pounds from the elderly and
:01:15. > :01:18.vulnerable for mobility aids that were never delivered. A judge
:01:18. > :01:23.branded Carl Mould and his former business partner unfit to trade
:01:23. > :01:33.with old folk. And he warned them that if they appeared before him
:01:33. > :01:37.again, he'd send them to prison. Mike O'Sullivan has this report.
:01:37. > :01:42.Leaving the county court in Nottingham, convicted conman, Vic -
:01:42. > :01:45.- Carl Mould, in trouble again. This time for John be running a
:01:45. > :01:50.company that charged the elderly and vulnerable thousands of pounds
:01:50. > :01:54.for mobility age that never arrived. The judge said you were unfit to
:01:54. > :02:01.sell goods and services to the elderly in their own homes? What do
:02:01. > :02:06.you say? His business partner was more apologetic. I am very sorry to
:02:06. > :02:11.have been part of any business to do with that. I hope to rectify the
:02:11. > :02:18.situation. What went wrong? I went into business with the wrong person.
:02:18. > :02:24.Carl Mould, who called himself Nick, and his partner ran a business from
:02:24. > :02:29.Nottinghamshire. They would use a cynical ploy during visits to a
:02:29. > :02:36.customer's home. Winning up the office pretending to get a discount.
:02:36. > :02:41.-- phoning up. As complaints came in, the pair abandoned a firm. One
:02:41. > :02:46.victim was this 82-year-old, who handed over thousands of pounds for
:02:46. > :02:53.a reclining chair. I felt a complete idiot for handing the
:02:53. > :02:56.cheque over. But... As I say, I trusted the man. The judge said
:02:56. > :03:02.both men were unfit to sell goods and services to the elderly in
:03:02. > :03:05.their own homes. The sentence has been adjourned until 2014 and he
:03:05. > :03:10.said if they were ever in this sort of trouble again, he would send
:03:10. > :03:15.them to prison. Trading Standards have had at 120 complaints in 12
:03:15. > :03:18.months'. Obviously, we would have liked them to be sent to prison
:03:18. > :03:23.today but it is quite a good decision the judge has made because
:03:23. > :03:27.it has given them a three-year monitoring period, so if they
:03:27. > :03:30.commit an offence, they will be sent straight to prison. Both men
:03:30. > :03:33.said they have reimbursed the customers they have personally
:03:33. > :03:37.dealt with. And Mike is with us now. You've
:03:37. > :03:40.reported on the actions of Carl Mould before? Yes, that's right.
:03:40. > :03:43.East Midlands Today and our sister programme, Inside Out, have
:03:43. > :03:47.featured Carl Mould's activities before. In 2001, he was jailed for
:03:47. > :03:53.three years for deception. He was a builder back then who overcharged
:03:53. > :03:56.an elderly lady by around �30,000 for some dodgy building work. In
:03:56. > :04:01.2008, he was in the broadcasting game, charging thousands of pounds
:04:01. > :04:09.to train up people who wanted to work as TV presenters. The trouble
:04:09. > :04:12.was that many people were disappointed with the results. Then,
:04:12. > :04:18.despite being exposed on Inside Out, he set up a second media training
:04:18. > :04:28.firm. One man spent �5,000. The police investigated but the matter
:04:28. > :04:32.
:04:32. > :04:35.has remained on file. Almost 1,000 women a year die from
:04:35. > :04:38.cervical cancer - a stark figure and perhaps enough to persuade you
:04:38. > :04:42.to go for a smear test when it's offered. In Derbyshire, 25% of
:04:42. > :04:45.women fail to attend their appointments. And when we asked
:04:45. > :04:53.women in the centre of Nottingham today, some of them admitted they
:04:53. > :04:58.failed to get regular checks, too. I go every time they asked me to go.
:04:59. > :05:03.When they send my letter I booked my appointment and I go. I didn't
:05:03. > :05:06.used to go but when I did and it was abnormal, is get me to death.
:05:06. > :05:13.Friends whose mothers have got was certain age have now got cancer
:05:13. > :05:19.because they did not go. But others took the option and did. I had one
:05:19. > :05:23.and then I didn't go for 13 years, but then I wanted to try for a baby
:05:23. > :05:27.so I went and got checked out. haven't had the time at the minute
:05:27. > :05:32.to go. Women have got to take responsibility for their health, so
:05:32. > :05:35.they should go. We always get letters reminding us to go. So they
:05:35. > :05:38.should. Mel Davies from Derbyshire put off
:05:38. > :05:40.her test by 18 months and now believes she could have received
:05:40. > :05:49.vital medical treatment much sooner if she'd made an appointment, as
:05:49. > :05:54.Geeta Pendse reports. On the road to recovery now, but
:05:54. > :05:58.three years ago, Mel Davies' life changed dramatically when she was
:05:58. > :06:03.diagnosed with cervical cancer. She had put off Bopara routine smear
:06:03. > :06:08.test 18 months, an action she now regrets. If I hadn't left is so
:06:08. > :06:11.long and had gone when they called me, I could have gone and my
:06:11. > :06:16.treatment might... It might not have been but it might have been
:06:16. > :06:21.less severe and just pre-cancerous cells that might not have developed
:06:21. > :06:25.into early stages of cancer. It has been tough for Mel and her partner.
:06:25. > :06:30.She now is unable to have children but now she is determined to stop
:06:30. > :06:35.other women making the same mistake. Everybody thinks it won't happen to
:06:36. > :06:40.them. I was like that. I didn't understand how important it was and
:06:40. > :06:46.that it would pick up pre-cancerous cells. The whole connection between
:06:46. > :06:50.the Tests and cancer. Figures from last year show around a quarter of
:06:50. > :06:55.women ignored letters inviting them to attend a smear test. Mel is
:06:55. > :06:58.hoping this will make women think twice and attend that appointment.
:06:58. > :07:03.Joining us from our Leicester studio now is Mike McHugh, from the
:07:03. > :07:06.city's Primary Care Trust. Good evening.
:07:06. > :07:11.Mel's story shows just how important it is for women to attend
:07:11. > :07:16.their screening appointments. is correct. We are very lucky to
:07:16. > :07:20.have a test like this. We have very few tests of cancer which can
:07:20. > :07:26.detect cancer at the precancer stage, which is what cervical
:07:26. > :07:33.cancer screening tests do. And yet we still have considerable numbers
:07:33. > :07:38.of women who do not come forward. Why do so many fail to turn up?
:07:38. > :07:45.think there is a variety of reasons. Sometimes his is to do with the
:07:45. > :07:51.procedure issues -- it is to do with. To be called, you must be
:07:51. > :07:56.registered with a GP. Your address that is recorded must be current.
:07:56. > :08:01.And a lot of patients move and then do not tell their GP they have
:08:01. > :08:10.moved. Or they changed address and don't say and they get lost in the
:08:10. > :08:16.system. The other big reason is to do with lack of understanding and
:08:16. > :08:23.awareness and appreciation of the benefits of having screening.
:08:23. > :08:26.Hopefully, tonight's report will put that to rest.
:08:26. > :08:29.A man from Derbyshire has been charged with manslaughter after the
:08:29. > :08:33.death of another man. It's alleged that he injected drugs into a 36-
:08:33. > :08:36.year-old man at a house in Derby Road in Ripley last September. The
:08:36. > :08:38.man subsequently died. The 40-year- old will appear before magistrates
:08:39. > :08:41.in February. Two men from Derbyshire who were
:08:41. > :08:45.jailed for using bullying and aggressive techniques to sell
:08:45. > :08:49.mobility aids have had their sentences reduced. Former director
:08:49. > :08:53.of REO Marketing Rodney Stone will now serve two years. Former Sales
:08:53. > :08:57.Manager Geoffrey Moore has had his term cut to two and-a-half years.
:08:57. > :08:59.The Court of Appeal ruled that they should have been sentenced on the
:08:59. > :09:03.basis that they neglected their duty, rather than having an
:09:03. > :09:07.involvement in what their staff were doing.
:09:07. > :09:14.You're watching East Midlands Today. Still to come, make the most of the
:09:14. > :09:19.mild weather, as there's a change on the way. Yes. The milder weather
:09:19. > :09:23.hardly had a chance to come in before it is on its way out again
:09:23. > :09:30.her and we are turning wet and windy tonight. More weather towards

:09:40. > :09:48.abusive messages on Twitter from a Southampton supporter, following
:09:48. > :09:57.their match this week. An internet expert believes this type of
:09:57. > :10:01.behaviour will be less common in the future. The internet has
:10:01. > :10:06.evolved very quickly before we have even thought about how it changes
:10:06. > :10:10.people's behaviour, so I think as we think more about it and change
:10:10. > :10:15.the design and learn more about how we ought to behave online, I hope
:10:15. > :10:18.this will change. And we need to be mindful that people can be quite
:10:18. > :10:21.positive online as well. Well, it's not just social
:10:21. > :10:23.networking sites that are a source of hate crimes. A project set up to
:10:23. > :10:27.monitor hate incidents in Leicestershire recorded more than
:10:27. > :10:28.1,000 in a 12-month period. Now a new campaign is underway to
:10:28. > :10:38.encourage people, particularly those with mental health
:10:38. > :10:39.
:10:39. > :10:45.difficulties, to report when they've been bullied or harassed.

:10:53. > :10:56.teenagers. More than four years later, hate crimes are still a
:10:56. > :11:02.problem for Leicestershire. The monitoring project has recorded
:11:02. > :11:06.more than 1,200 incidents in a year. I have had trouble if I have been
:11:06. > :11:14.out somewhere and people have made comments about me being
:11:14. > :11:19.schizophrenic. You know, being crazy and things like that. Here

:12:07. > :12:11.that nobody should suffer in silence.
:12:11. > :12:13.London's got one. So has Leicester and Mansfield. Now an all-powerful
:12:14. > :12:20.directly-elected mayor could be running Nottingham within months if
:12:20. > :12:23.city voters back the idea. The Government today said mayoral
:12:23. > :12:30.elections for Nottingham and ten other big English cities would be
:12:30. > :12:34.brought forward and held in November. But all that depends on a
:12:34. > :12:38.Yes vote for the whole idea in a referendum in early May. So is big
:12:38. > :12:47.political change on the cards for Nottingham? Let's find out from our
:12:47. > :12:51.political editor, John Hess, who is outside Nottingham Council House.
:12:51. > :12:57.David Cameron has had some political bust-ups with the Labour
:12:57. > :13:00.leadership here before. Now he's facing another. That's because
:13:00. > :13:03.Labour Nottingham is to campaign for a No vote in the mayoral
:13:03. > :13:07.referendum in the city. Undaunted, the Government today pressed ahead
:13:07. > :13:10.with its plans for London-style mayors for our big cities. If the
:13:10. > :13:13.people of Nottingham vote yes, Nottingham's very own Mayor Boris
:13:13. > :13:23.or Ken could be in charge of this city and the council's multi-
:13:23. > :13:34.
:13:34. > :13:37.If you look around the world, most cities of the kind of standing at
:13:37. > :13:43.Nottingham has are led by individuals who have a clear
:13:43. > :13:46.mandate. They punch above their weight on its national and
:13:46. > :13:55.international levels. We think it is right for the people of
:13:55. > :13:57.Nottingham to make a decision as to whether they want that, too. Other
:13:57. > :14:01.Midland cities such as Birmingham and Coventry will also have a
:14:01. > :14:03.referendum in May on whether to have a mayor in charge. So why is
:14:03. > :14:06.Nottingham's current council leader, Jon Collins, so opposed? The Labour
:14:06. > :14:12.group in the city council will be campaigning very vigorously against
:14:12. > :14:17.the proposals because at �1 million extra cost over the next few years,
:14:17. > :14:19.we just think it is a waste of money and we think that local
:14:19. > :14:29.people will recognise that and not supported.
:14:29. > :14:34.
:14:34. > :14:37.So, John, who are the likely candidates? I have to tell you that
:14:37. > :14:45.one national newspaper said Ken Clarke might throw his hat into the
:14:45. > :14:50.ring! I wouldn't put money on that! Alan Simpson and other big names.
:14:50. > :14:55.Even the fashion designer, Sir Paul Smith. And how about a job share?
:14:55. > :15:03.Torvill and Dean? I wouldn't rule it out. The speculation won't end
:15:03. > :15:07.there. Campaigners are fighting to stop
:15:07. > :15:10.the sale of a historic building and claim the council has no right to
:15:10. > :15:13.sell it. The Gilstrap Centre at Newark Castle was given to the town
:15:13. > :15:16.by Sir William Gilstrap. It's currently used as a tourist
:15:16. > :15:19.information centre. But the District Council wants to sell the
:15:19. > :15:29.building to the County Council, who plan to turn it into a registry
:15:29. > :15:34.office. Once it is sold and goes out of the scheme of the Trust, it
:15:34. > :15:38.is then fair game. Once Notts County Council owns it, it is
:15:38. > :15:48.outside the Trust, therefore it can be used for any purpose whatsoever.
:15:48. > :15:50.
:15:50. > :15:54.It could become a cafe. A mother who campaigned for 26
:15:54. > :15:57.years to bring her child's killer to justice has decided to tell the
:15:57. > :16:00.world her story by publishing a book about the murder of her
:16:00. > :16:02.daughter Colette Aram. Colette was just 16 and a trainee hairdresser
:16:02. > :16:06.when she was abducted in the Nottinghamshire village of Keyworth.
:16:06. > :16:09.She was raped and strangled before her body was dumped in a field. The
:16:09. > :16:11.BBC's first ever Crimewatch programme featured the case, but it
:16:11. > :16:14.wasn't until 2010 that Paul Hutchinson was convicted of murder.
:16:14. > :16:17.After more than two decades, Jacqui Kirby has finally managed to find
:16:17. > :16:24.some closure, and she joined us here in the studio earlier this
:16:24. > :16:29.week. Why did you write the book? Because
:16:29. > :16:32.I felt it was the one last thing I could do for Colette. And I also
:16:32. > :16:36.wanted to give hope to other families that have gone through or
:16:36. > :16:42.will go through what we went through for 26 years, to never give
:16:42. > :16:47.up hope. And also to give Joe public an insight into the kind of
:16:47. > :16:51.things that happen within families when something like this happens.
:16:51. > :16:56.It is the devastation it leaves behind. It has a knock-on effect
:16:56. > :17:00.within the family unit. It is an incredibly difficult book to read
:17:00. > :17:06.for all sorts of reasons, but you think there is some positivity in
:17:06. > :17:12.it because there is a message of hope in the end? Yes, I think so.
:17:12. > :17:17.For me, it was a kind of healing process as well. I was going to ask
:17:17. > :17:21.you that. Did you feel that by the end of writing the book, you were
:17:21. > :17:28.in a better place than at the beginning? Are absolutely. Off and
:17:28. > :17:32.I was sat at the computer writing it in tears. -- often. But since I
:17:32. > :17:37.have written the book I can talk about the events and about Colette
:17:37. > :17:41.much more easily than before. I couldn't have sat for any length of
:17:41. > :17:45.time and spoken to anybody. When I did interviews before, they would
:17:45. > :17:50.have to stop the interview because I would break down. But since I
:17:50. > :17:55.have done that, I feel I have the ability to talk about it. It might
:17:55. > :18:02.sound strange and I can't explain it myself. There is no forgiveness
:18:02. > :18:06.in this book, is there? No. How can you forgive someone for doing that?
:18:06. > :18:13.He not only destroyed her life, but he destroyed our lives as well.
:18:13. > :18:19.you said you hoped it would give other families hope? I hope so.
:18:19. > :18:23.Never give up. Always to hope that eventually, somebody... The
:18:23. > :18:28.perpetrator will be brought to justice. It took a long time and
:18:28. > :18:32.happened in the end. Thank you so much for coming in. Thank you.
:18:32. > :18:35.Still to come on the programme, who lives in a house like this? We meet
:18:36. > :18:45.the man from Matlock who lives for Elvis Presely, and now he wants to
:18:46. > :18:52.
:18:52. > :18:55.Before that, we have the sport. Thank you. Good evening.
:18:55. > :18:59.Starting with rugby, and are the days when Leicester Tigers are a
:18:59. > :19:02.dominant force in European rugby over? The club's Director of Rugby
:19:02. > :19:05.says a salary cap imposed on English clubs means this country
:19:05. > :19:07.will continue to struggle. The Tigers' European campaign ended at
:19:07. > :19:11.the weekend, with the quarter finals dominated by Irish and
:19:11. > :19:12.French teams, who are free to have a much higher wage bill, as Jeremy
:19:12. > :19:15.Nicholas reports. Leicester have developed a taste
:19:15. > :19:20.for European travel, with the club having won the Heineken Cup twice.
:19:20. > :19:26.But this year, they are out already. Perhaps they were not good enough
:19:26. > :19:31.this year but in the end, we have played six, won four. Despite a big
:19:31. > :19:35.win at the weekend, tigers are out of Europe. Only Saracens went
:19:35. > :19:42.through out of the England teams. Are we missing out because of the
:19:42. > :19:46.salary cap? French clubs have a higher salary cap of 7 million each
:19:46. > :19:50.season. Edinburgh and Cardiff are joined by Saracens, the only
:19:50. > :19:54.English club in the knockout stages, but English clubs have to keep
:19:54. > :19:58.their wage bill to 4 million. have to be realistic in that, like
:19:58. > :20:03.any sport, professional sport is about how much money you have and
:20:03. > :20:07.what you do with it. If you don't have the funding, then it will be
:20:07. > :20:12.difficult against teams that do have the funding. In previous
:20:12. > :20:18.seasons, the Tigers have top their group. But this season, despite
:20:19. > :20:26.having topped four of their groups, they are out. We were stung. It is
:20:26. > :20:32.a shame. With the regionalised Celtic sides now more likely to
:20:32. > :20:36.feature every season, this is what he said. When you battle hard to
:20:36. > :20:41.make sure you have a qualifying Cup the next season, you have to put
:20:41. > :20:47.your best side out as often as you can for obvious reasons. And the
:20:47. > :20:49.French sides are working on two or three times the budget that we are.
:20:49. > :20:51.Staying with rugby, the legendary Barbarian side will be officially
:20:52. > :20:54.opening Loughborough University's new 3,000-seater stadium in May.
:20:54. > :20:58.The Ba Bas will play the students before matches against England,
:20:58. > :21:02.Wales and Ireland. By all accounts, the game at Notts
:21:02. > :21:09.County last night was some way from a classic. Notts had a goalless
:21:09. > :21:13.draw with Preston, as Kirsty Edwards reports.
:21:13. > :21:17.Notts County came into this game looking to put an end to their
:21:17. > :21:21.slide down lead 1. You know a match isn't the best, though, when this
:21:21. > :21:25.gets about the biggest reaction from the crowd. Thankfully, the
:21:25. > :21:28.referee managed to stay on his feet for the rest of the night, but
:21:28. > :21:32.there wasn't too much to get the fans on their feet. If the odd
:21:32. > :21:40.glimpse of some nice passing football from Knox, but it was few
:21:40. > :21:44.and far between. And in truth, neither goalkeeper had much to do.
:21:44. > :21:49.There are now 11 points off the play-offs and 10 points off the
:21:49. > :21:53.relegation zone. We're very sad to report the death
:21:53. > :21:56.of Notts superfan Ian Mills after last night's game. Ian had missed
:21:56. > :22:00.just one match home and away since 1970 and has seen the last 1,400
:22:00. > :22:03.Notts games. When he wasn't watching Notts, he'd be supporting
:22:03. > :22:12.local non-league teams and England. Ian, who was 61, was a fountain of
:22:12. > :22:15.knowledge and Notts historian. Between now and the end of the
:22:15. > :22:22.summer, we are going to try and feature all of the athletes
:22:22. > :22:32.featuring in the London Olympics and Paralympics. Today, a gymnast
:22:32. > :22:33.
:22:33. > :22:38.who is hoping for more in London. I am Becky and I am an artistic
:22:38. > :22:48.gymnast. My Olympic dream is to try and improve on my Beijing position
:22:48. > :22:49.
:22:49. > :22:54.and to help the team as much as I The medal opportunity is there but
:22:54. > :23:00.I think we have all got that same goal in mind and we are willing to
:23:00. > :23:05.work as hard as we can for it. I think it's such a big competition
:23:06. > :23:10.for any athlete, especially it being barren country. This chance
:23:10. > :23:13.will never come again so it means a lot to us.
:23:13. > :23:22.And if you missed our special East Midlands Olympic Dreams on Sunday,
:23:22. > :23:25.there's a chance to watch it again on the BBC iPlayer. Thank you, Mark.
:23:25. > :23:27.Now, there are fans of Elvis, and then there's Matlock's "Melvis"!
:23:27. > :23:32.Yes, that's the nickname enjoyed by Elvis Presley superfan Melvyn
:23:32. > :23:36.Haymes. He's been toasting the memory of The King, who would have
:23:37. > :23:39.just had his 77th birthday had he lived. Melvyn has turned his
:23:39. > :23:49.Derbyshire home into a shrine to the singing superstar, and even
:23:49. > :23:59.wants to be buried with him! James Roberson explains.
:23:59. > :23:59.
:23:59. > :24:03.At first glance, this flat looks almost normal. But it hardly takes
:24:03. > :24:09.a closer inspection to see who really dominates here. The Matlock
:24:09. > :24:14.flap his full of Elvis. Melvyn has been collecting this memorabilia
:24:14. > :24:19.since he was 12. There is no stopping yet because I have got
:24:19. > :24:25.more room yet. Two or three suitcases and a good start in them
:24:25. > :24:30.yet! It has gone on to become an obsession with everything about the
:24:30. > :24:35.singer, who died prematurely in 1977. Even that has gone into a
:24:35. > :24:41.home-made coffee table. Everybody in Matlock knows that Melvyn is mad
:24:41. > :24:46.about all things Elvis. They nicknamed me Melvis and it has
:24:46. > :24:55.stuck with me for years. But if Melvyn loves Elvis, the same cannot
:24:55. > :24:59.be said of his family! My daughter says, when I go, this is going with
:25:00. > :25:05.me. Everything will go! They are burying it all could be missing a
:25:05. > :25:10.trick. Melvyn has spent thousands on the collection. However, when he
:25:10. > :25:15.does finally go, he has the music all planned. I would like to be
:25:15. > :25:24.dressed in my suit, which I had made, and in a cardboard cut-out
:25:24. > :25:33.placed on the lid of the coffin. I wasn't born a King and I have never
:25:33. > :25:38.lived like one, but, by God, I want to go out like one!
:25:38. > :25:43.Well, it is literally his funeral. He can do what he wants!
:25:43. > :25:48.That is true. But hopefully, not a long time yet.
:25:48. > :25:58.We were trying to think of Elvis songs to go with the weather.
:25:58. > :26:02.
:26:02. > :26:06.Thank you. We have had this lovely photo from Tom, just before his
:26:06. > :26:13.camera battery ran out. Thank you for that. The cloud is increasing
:26:13. > :26:18.and we have had rain sitting over here, bringing a soaking today.
:26:18. > :26:24.Some showery bursts of rain but the wind will also be a big feature and
:26:24. > :26:28.we could see gusts of up to 50 mph. It will be tracking its way to the
:26:28. > :26:33.East into the early hours of the morning and producing some heavy
:26:33. > :26:42.rainfall if you are travelling anywhere overnight. Some colder air
:26:42. > :26:46.coming in overnight but the ice is further West. First thing tomorrow,
:26:46. > :26:52.the band of rain is still with us, giving us a very wet start to the
:26:52. > :26:57.day. Still very windy as well and a few showers around. You might even
:26:57. > :27:02.notice the odd snow shower as well, affecting the Peak District. We
:27:03. > :27:08.could even have hail and thunder as well. The rain will ease off later
:27:08. > :27:12.in the day, leaving sunshine and fewer showers as well. A maximum
:27:12. > :27:18.tomorrow of a degrees. The strength of the wind will make it feel
:27:18. > :27:22.colder, however. Quite a bit of cloud on Friday and the chance of a
:27:22. > :27:27.few wintry showers as well, but as we get to the weekend, we have high
:27:27. > :27:33.pressure coming in from the South and a warm front trying to come in
