:00:04. > :00:08.This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and me, Anne Davies.
:00:08. > :00:17.Our top story tonight: The mum who died days after a
:00:17. > :00:22.gastric band operation. Out inquest hears Clare White had struggled
:00:22. > :00:26.with her wait for years before opting for surgery.
:00:26. > :00:31.I am tributes act school for a six- year-old boy who drowned with his
:00:31. > :00:37.grandmother in a lake. He simply loved life. He tackled everything
:00:37. > :00:42.with enthusiasm. And boxer Carl Froch backtracks
:00:42. > :00:46.over claims he deliberately prolonged this title fight.
:00:46. > :00:53.comments I made in hindsight, I shouldn't have said. But it was a
:00:53. > :01:03.throwaway comment. And bowing out at 92, but is there
:01:03. > :01:08.
:01:08. > :01:11.Good evening. First tonight, she was so desperate to lose weight,
:01:11. > :01:16.but the surgery that she hoped would finally sort out her obesity
:01:16. > :01:19.problems ended up taking her life. Clare White was 37 when she died
:01:19. > :01:25.from a blood clot after undergoing an operation to fit a gastric band
:01:25. > :01:28.at the Royal Derby Hospital. An inquest into her death was held
:01:28. > :01:38.today. Our health correspondent Rob Sissons was at that inquest and
:01:38. > :01:42.
:01:42. > :01:47.joins us now. Rob, why did she want this surgery?
:01:47. > :01:51.Good evening. She tried with diets, but always ended up putting the
:01:51. > :01:57.weight back on. She tried medication. So she turned to the
:01:57. > :02:04.Royal Derby Hospital for gastric surgery, to try and finally lose
:02:04. > :02:07.weight. She leaves a widow were and three children. It has left a huge
:02:07. > :02:12.hole in their lives, the fact that there were complications following
:02:12. > :02:18.the operation and that she sadly died. What was the evidence from
:02:18. > :02:22.the Royal Derby Hospital? Here at the Royal Derby Hospital they have
:02:22. > :02:26.developed and regional centre for of the city surgery. They have done
:02:26. > :02:31.hundreds of these operations. Paul leader, the consultant who carried
:02:31. > :02:37.out the operation, said his theory was maybe the gastric band had
:02:37. > :02:41.caused tiny porous, not visible to the naked eye, that would have let
:02:41. > :02:45.bacteria from the gut travel to another part of the body and cause
:02:45. > :02:49.infection. The post-mortem examination that was carried out
:02:49. > :02:54.following her death revealed she died of a blood clot, but she did
:02:54. > :02:58.not feel well in the days after the operation and ended up in intensive
:02:58. > :03:07.care before her condition went downhill. So, a complicated case.
:03:07. > :03:11.And one that is not quite finished? No, her widower, Craig, had lots of
:03:11. > :03:15.questions, he found it very complicated. He said his brain was
:03:15. > :03:19.being fried by the evidence. He was obviously -- was obviously a
:03:19. > :03:27.complex case and the coroner himself as a manager and the case
:03:27. > :03:30.after killing all the evidence. He will deliver his verdict on Friday.
:03:30. > :03:35.Next tonight, a 6-year-old boy who drowned has been described by his
:03:35. > :03:38.head teacher as someone who simply loved life. The bodies of the boy
:03:38. > :03:41.and his grandmother were pulled from a lake in Lincolnshire. Police
:03:41. > :03:51.say inquiries are continuing, but there are no suspicious
:03:51. > :03:51.
:03:51. > :03:56.circumstances. Helen Astle reports. After the shock, come the questions.
:03:56. > :03:59.But what happened here, we may never truly know. But we do know at
:03:59. > :04:03.grandmother and her six-year-old grandson lost their lives at this
:04:03. > :04:08.late in Lincolnshire. This afternoon, the police named the
:04:08. > :04:13.pair as Don Molineux and Laurence Marlet me Mills. It is thought they
:04:13. > :04:17.may have got to view the ducks on their way to their home in kept it.
:04:18. > :04:23.This morning, the boy's head teacher pay tribute to him. He was
:04:23. > :04:27.such a special little boy. He simply loved life. He tackled
:04:27. > :04:32.everything with enthusiasm. He relished the challenge, he had a
:04:32. > :04:37.wonderful sense of humour. He was chatty, sociable, and he had
:04:37. > :04:42.impeccable manners. He just loved everything about school and he
:04:42. > :04:48.would run to get here every morning. Meanwhile at the village church,
:04:48. > :04:53.Campbells are being let and prayers being said. I visited the family
:04:53. > :04:56.yesterday and found them in terrible grief. As we would expect.
:04:56. > :05:02.They are an open and from the household, people have been coming
:05:02. > :05:08.and going. I think the family are aware what a friendly and
:05:08. > :05:12.supportive village and a delightful school he attended. We have had a
:05:12. > :05:15.special assembly for the children and they know that they can speak
:05:15. > :05:21.with any one of us at any time if they have any questions. Throughout
:05:21. > :05:24.the day, people have been coming here to pay tribute to Laurie and
:05:25. > :05:29.his grandmother. Many locals have been visibly upset, saying because
:05:29. > :05:35.of with his family, who lived just up the road from here. For Laurie's
:05:35. > :05:38.Mann, she has lost her mother and her six-year-old son. And she may
:05:38. > :05:41.never know why. Nottinghamshire Police have been
:05:41. > :05:45.severely criticised for failing to give proper care to a teenager who
:05:45. > :05:48.died in custody. The family of Reece Staples called it incredible
:05:48. > :05:51.that four different police officers ignored the teenager when he told
:05:51. > :06:01.them he had swallowed packets of cocaine and feared he would die.
:06:01. > :06:03.
:06:03. > :06:07.Sarah Teale reports. The father of Reece Staples led the
:06:07. > :06:13.inquest today, saying he could not come to terms with the fact that
:06:13. > :06:18.his dying son was denied vital medical assistance. Reece died in
:06:18. > :06:21.police custody after a cocaine packet Burston his stomach. He had
:06:21. > :06:26.smuggled that drugs from Costa Rica and the day after he arrived back
:06:26. > :06:31.in this country he was arrested for a different defence and taking to
:06:31. > :06:35.the police station. Four different officers ignored him when he told
:06:35. > :06:42.them he had swallowed drugs. He collapsed are as later in the cells
:06:42. > :06:45.and died on arrival at hospital. Thus, the officers eliminated at a
:06:45. > :06:50.stroke the possibility of his survival through hospital treatment
:06:50. > :06:56.and surgery. Had he only received medical help, at least he would
:06:56. > :07:03.have had a fighting chance of life. The inquest heard that Reece would
:07:03. > :07:04.have died anyway, because his cocaine levels were so high. But an
:07:04. > :07:14.Independent Police Complaints Commission reports criticised
:07:14. > :07:17.
:07:17. > :07:21.Five police officers have since been disciplined for gross
:07:21. > :07:25.misconduct, but the inquest heard that staff have not received
:07:25. > :07:29.training on guidelines introduced in 2007, stating that anyone
:07:29. > :07:34.suspected of swallowing drugs should be given immediate medical
:07:34. > :07:39.treatment. The jury returned a verdict of death by misadventure.
:07:39. > :07:41.The coroner said he was confident that the police had changed their
:07:41. > :07:48.practices to make sure that frontline officers were aware of
:07:48. > :07:50.what to do is something similar happens again.
:07:51. > :07:56.So, why weren't frontline officers trained to follow guidelines put in
:07:56. > :07:58.place two years before Reece Staples died? Well, that is the
:07:58. > :08:05.question our chief news reporter Quentin Rayner put to
:08:05. > :08:10.Nottinghamshire's Assistant Chief Constable, Paul Broadbent.
:08:10. > :08:14.I am absolutely not satisfied, that that is a feeling on the force,
:08:14. > :08:17.they did make -- did not make sure officers were aware of the
:08:17. > :08:22.guidelines, both personally in writing and having received a
:08:22. > :08:26.briefing. Obviously, back for the, there have been no deaths of a
:08:27. > :08:29.similar nature since the time of Reece's death. But why did it take
:08:29. > :08:36.a further two years for all frontline officers to receive the
:08:36. > :08:40.training? Reece died in June 2009. Within a short time, the attention
:08:40. > :08:44.of officers was brought to the existence of the policy, and a
:08:44. > :08:48.short time after that, with the IPCC recommendations came out, a
:08:48. > :08:54.formal briefing was delivered. So there was a lot on between his
:08:54. > :08:59.death and the time that that training was completed. What
:08:59. > :09:03.aspects of the five officers response alarmed you the most?
:09:03. > :09:08.guess it was the fact that a number of the officers were told by Reece
:09:08. > :09:12.that he had taken some drugs, and foreign number of reasons, all
:09:12. > :09:16.those officers did not respond as quickly as they should have done.
:09:16. > :09:19.We are presented with people on a daily basis who tell us lies. If
:09:19. > :09:27.they told us the truth all the time, maybe they would not be as much
:09:27. > :09:30.crime. But unfortunately, or five officers should have, between them,
:09:30. > :09:33.Dr but Reece had told them and should have taken more decisive
:09:33. > :09:37.action and for that, I apologised. Still to come on the programme:
:09:37. > :09:47.Water levels on the slide. As the Government issues drought warnings,
:09:47. > :09:51.
:09:51. > :09:54.we have the latest aerial views of Lots of controversy today around
:09:54. > :10:00.the sport of boxing, and our own Carl Froch is right in the middle
:10:00. > :10:04.of some of it. It is because of a live interview he gave to BBC Radio
:10:04. > :10:08.Nottingham. In it, he said he could have finished his 2005 Commonwealth
:10:08. > :10:11.title defence against Ruben Groenewald in the 4th round.
:10:11. > :10:18.Instead, he deliberately avoided doing so because of bets placed on
:10:18. > :10:28.him finishing it in the 5th. Let's hear what exactly Carl said to
:10:28. > :10:28.
:10:28. > :10:32.Robin Chipperfield about trying to end the fight in a particular round.
:10:32. > :10:37.I have done it a more than one occasion and it was right fight,
:10:37. > :10:47.but that is not illegal. I can say, I ended to stop him in round five,
:10:47. > :10:47.
:10:47. > :10:51.if I am good enough to do that, fair enough. My friends,... Again
:10:51. > :10:55.say if I'm good enough to step on the gas to stop it, that is my
:10:55. > :10:59.privilege. That is what I did in this particular fight at the Arena.
:10:59. > :11:03.But the problem with that is, I held him up in round four. It was
:11:03. > :11:06.there for the taking and they held them up. I could have got done
:11:06. > :11:09.myself in round four. Well, Colin Hazelden has been
:11:09. > :11:12.following all of this. It sounds controversial to me, has it been?
:11:12. > :11:15.It's certainly had plenty of attention. Lots of reaction in
:11:15. > :11:18.places like Twitter and the most read story on the BBC website for
:11:18. > :11:21.most of this morning. It's not actually the first time Froch has
:11:21. > :11:24.said something along these lines. He made less direct comments about
:11:24. > :11:26.this immediately after the fight and in his autobiography. But, as
:11:26. > :11:35.one expert pointed out to me, because of cricket's scandals,
:11:35. > :11:38.times have changed. External perceptions are everything. No one
:11:38. > :11:41.wants to call suspicion down on themselves. Just think before
:11:41. > :11:46.speaking, in many respects. We think carefully about the
:11:46. > :11:50.consequences. Carl Froch said clearly he had not gambled, so he
:11:50. > :11:52.had done nothing wrong. But it is not as simple as that.
:11:52. > :11:55.So what's Carl Froch had to say today?
:11:55. > :11:58.He's been all over the media, mostly talking about the brawl
:11:58. > :12:01.between Haye and Chisora you may have seen on the news. And of
:12:01. > :12:09.course, he's been asked about what he said. A "throwaway comment" not
:12:09. > :12:13.to be taken seriously is his line. I think it has been flagged up
:12:13. > :12:16.because of the cricket issue. But in hindsight, I should not have
:12:16. > :12:21.said that throwaway comments which are set on the radio. A fight
:12:21. > :12:26.prediction is what it is. It is something fighters are like to do,
:12:26. > :12:30.to generate media attention. That is basically all I did.
:12:30. > :12:33.Will it end here, do we think? It looks like it. The British
:12:33. > :12:36.Boxing Board of Control say they've spoken to Carl, who's explained the
:12:36. > :12:39.comments. They think it's an old story. It will get discussed at the
:12:39. > :12:48.next meeting, but certainly, the indications we're getting is that
:12:48. > :12:52.Police believe a body which was found in Leicestershire yesterday
:12:52. > :12:55.is that of missing man Stuart Taylor. Officers were called to
:12:55. > :12:58.fields at Foxton near Market Harborough yesterday afternoon. The
:12:59. > :13:01.discovery was made by a dog-walker. Stuart Taylor was last seen in
:13:01. > :13:04.December and enquiries are continuing.
:13:04. > :13:08.Thieves used a mechanical digger to carry out a ram-raid on a cash-
:13:08. > :13:11.point at a Co-op store in Leicestershire. The digger was
:13:11. > :13:15.stolen from a farm in Long Clawson and then rammed into the Co-op at
:13:15. > :13:20.Asfordby at around 4am this morning. The cash-machine was damaged. It's
:13:20. > :13:24.not clear how much money was stolen. The thieves escaped in a red pick-
:13:24. > :13:27.up truck. Charities in the East Midlands tell
:13:27. > :13:32.us more people than ever before are relying on food parcels to make
:13:32. > :13:35.ends meet. Many can't afford to heat and eat. As Marie Ashby
:13:35. > :13:45.reports, food parcels have now become a lifeline for some people
:13:45. > :13:48.who you wouldn't expect to be living hand-to-mouth.
:13:48. > :13:53.Joseph's Storehouse In Love produced hub around a dozen people
:13:53. > :13:58.when it opened its doors three years ago. -- in Loughborough
:13:58. > :14:02.helped around a dozen people. Now they help thousands the. Sudden
:14:02. > :14:06.changes in circumstances and redundancies have proved more
:14:06. > :14:09.people on to the breadline. We are seeing more and more of the people
:14:09. > :14:13.who you and I would pass in the street and never think they would
:14:13. > :14:17.have to come somewhere like this. It is a very humbling thing for
:14:17. > :14:23.people to have to come here. It is really a matter of circumstances
:14:23. > :14:28.for me and with my daughter being special needs, and then my wife
:14:28. > :14:34.contracting an enormous. I have had to rely on income support. It has
:14:34. > :14:40.been very helpful. All this food at FareShare's new depot in Leicester
:14:40. > :14:45.would have ended up in landfill. Instead, it is shared out between
:14:45. > :14:52.charities around the city. Three years ago, they distributed 40 tons.
:14:52. > :14:56.That has trebled. Over the last four quarters, we have distributed
:14:56. > :15:00.over 120 tons of food. You think of the articulated lorries we see on
:15:00. > :15:10.our roads each day, that the equivalent of killing six of those
:15:10. > :15:10.
:15:10. > :15:16.completely. -- that is equivalent to filling. This couple said they
:15:16. > :15:19.could not survive without their food parcels. FareShare says it is
:15:19. > :15:22.expanding to meet demand. There's more on this on tonight's
:15:22. > :15:24.Inside Out programme here on BBC One at 7.30pm, along with a profile
:15:24. > :15:27.of an East Midlands environmentalist who's enlisting

:15:49. > :15:52.The Environment Department is warning that the East Midlands is
:15:52. > :15:58.at high risk of severe water shortages if the drier-than-average
:15:58. > :16:01.winter continues. Anglian Water says that levels at Rutland Water
:16:02. > :16:06.are worryingly low. Staff say the reservoir is under 70% capacity
:16:06. > :16:16.because of two dry winters and a lack of rain last summer and spring.

:16:35. > :16:39.river -- water in the River Taw from August to December. It is
:16:39. > :16:43.coming back but no where near to the extent it should be. The river
:16:43. > :16:46.Bradford runs through part of the White Peak. The organisation

:17:48. > :17:51.Some big results for us this weekend, but Notts County are
:17:51. > :17:54.stealing all the headlines. They've named Keith Curle as their new
:17:54. > :18:00.manager less than 48 hours after the shock sacking of Martin Allen.
:18:00. > :18:04.Kirsty Edwards has more. Yes, never a dull moment! Who would
:18:04. > :18:09.have thought that at the end of last week, we would be stood here
:18:09. > :18:13.today talking about a new manager and Notts County. 48 hours after
:18:13. > :18:16.Martin Allen's surprise sacking, former Mansfield Town boss Keith
:18:16. > :18:21.Curle has been officially named as the new man in charge. He was
:18:21. > :18:27.actually recommended to the club by Neil Warnock, who he worked and at
:18:27. > :18:35.Crystal Palace and, more recently, at QPR. Give the guy a chance. See
:18:35. > :18:41.what he can do. But he has a lot to live up to of the Martin Allen.
:18:41. > :18:47.-- after Martin Allen. Both of his clubs are languishing but I will
:18:47. > :18:52.give him every chance. Martin Allen's final act as manager was a
:18:52. > :18:59.dismal 3-0 defeat at Hartlepool. Despite that, they're lying 11th in
:18:59. > :19:03.the league positions. Not disastrous. The club are keeping
:19:03. > :19:08.tight lipped saying it is being dealt with privately. Also
:19:08. > :19:17.announced today, the departures of the system manager and the first
:19:17. > :19:20.team coach, John Scofield. So, Keith Curle becomes their 7th
:19:20. > :19:24.manager in less than two and a half years. He will be here in the dug-
:19:25. > :19:27.out for the first time on Wednesday night.
:19:27. > :19:31.Nigel Clough has today confirmed that Derby County are talking about
:19:31. > :19:38.bringing in a director of football. But he's stopped short of welcoming
:19:38. > :19:44.the idea, as Jeremy Nicholas reports.
:19:44. > :19:48.Derby fans were reflecting on a 4-0 drubbing and there were reports the
:19:48. > :19:52.manager was unhappy about plans to bring in a director of football to
:19:52. > :19:56.work with him. It was suggested he was on a collision course with the
:19:57. > :20:03.club about the appointment. We have been assured talks are taking place
:20:03. > :20:06.and there has been no fall-out. But he doesn't sound too enthusiastic.
:20:06. > :20:13.We are looking to improve in any way we can but we are certainly not
:20:13. > :20:18.on a collision course. Anybody in training has far too much respect
:20:18. > :20:23.for John. So you would welcome a director of football? No, we are
:20:23. > :20:26.talking about it. Derby would not comment on speculation on who the
:20:26. > :20:33.director might be but it is widely thought to be Ross Wilson from
:20:33. > :20:41.Watford. That being said, forest needed to start well. The first of
:20:41. > :20:45.was forgettable, however. But then this happened. It was like Forrest
:20:45. > :20:52.Gump, except instead of running out of the stadium, he did a lovely
:20:52. > :20:58.stepper and put the ball into the net. The goal wrapped up the points
:20:58. > :21:00.and with Portsmouth dock 10 points for going into administration,
:21:00. > :21:04.Nottingham Forest are out of the relegation zone.
:21:04. > :21:07.And plenty more on Late Kick Off tonight at 11.05pm on BBC One, with
:21:07. > :21:10.special reports on Notts County and Nottingham Forest.
:21:10. > :21:13.Leicester City are into the quarter finals of the FA Cup. They'll play
:21:13. > :21:16.either Chelsea or Birmingham next month and may well fancy their
:21:16. > :21:26.chances, after disposing of Premier League Norwich. Paul Bradshaw was
:21:26. > :21:32.
:21:32. > :21:39.2.5 nearly 2,500 fans came along to see their team, and a Laurie,
:21:39. > :21:45.outboxed Canaries. It is hoped the Foxes can continue their run.
:21:45. > :21:52.a dream about this game before it happened. If we can get a draw,
:21:52. > :21:57.take them back. Things certainly started well when this header was
:21:57. > :22:01.printed in from the corner. And Leicester were on top for most of
:22:01. > :22:11.the first half and would have stayed that way if not for a
:22:11. > :22:12.
:22:12. > :22:19.dubious penalty decision. Then the Foxes struck again. They danced
:22:19. > :22:23.through the Norwich defence to set up a fifth round upset. More solid
:22:23. > :22:30.defending kept Norwich out and it could have been three. Beckford hit
:22:30. > :22:36.the bar late on. They were in good spirits, so a good performance. Not
:22:36. > :22:39.just in terms of how we played football but in terms of how we
:22:39. > :22:49.behave ourselves and how we were pleased for the players and with
:22:49. > :22:50.
:22:50. > :22:56.the players. A good day for the fans as well. Come on, City!
:22:56. > :22:58.the fantastic FA Cup run continues for the Foxes as their campaign
:22:58. > :23:02.continues. Leicester Tigers Director of Rugby
:23:02. > :23:06.Richard Cockerill says he's still targetting a top-two finish. That's
:23:06. > :23:09.after Tigers became the first club in over a year to win at Saracens.
:23:09. > :23:13.Leicester pressure in the second half finally resulted in an an Ed
:23:13. > :23:16.Slater try to put them one point in the lead. But a Saracens penalty
:23:16. > :23:22.set up an exciting finish, with Leicester working the ball back to
:23:22. > :23:25.Geordan Murphy, who's drop-kick sealed victory by 20-19.
:23:25. > :23:30.No such doubts about Nottingham Panthers' weekend. They beat
:23:30. > :23:33.Edinburgh 9-0 last night. But the real joy was on Saturday. At home
:23:33. > :23:42.in front of a sold-out arena and dishing out a 5-1 thrashing of
:23:42. > :23:47.Sheffield Steelers, their biggest rivals. Fantastic! It has been a
:23:47. > :23:52.busy old day! A 92-year-old bandsman is hoping to
:23:52. > :23:55.retire after more than 80 years of playing. The only problem is, he
:23:55. > :23:59.needs someone to take his place. Bob Taylor, from Melton, first
:23:59. > :24:09.picked up a horn when he was six and has played in almost 30 bands
:24:09. > :24:16.
:24:16. > :24:26.He knows how to blow his own trumpet, well, bass, and he should
:24:26. > :24:30.because he has had over 86 years of experience. Bob Taylor has had
:24:30. > :24:38.loads of experience with the horn after picking his first one up aged
:24:38. > :24:43.six. I was fascinated. What does this do? What does that do? And my
:24:43. > :24:48.uncle was a bandmaster. So bass was in his blood, and since then, Bob
:24:49. > :24:53.has gone on to play in more than 30 bands, even playing in London's
:24:53. > :24:57.Royal Albert Hall. He started Tornado Brass almost 30 years ago
:24:57. > :25:02.but he says the time has come for him to put down his music and make
:25:02. > :25:09.way for somebody younger. But that might not be as easy as it sounds.
:25:09. > :25:15.Locally, he is known as Mr Music, because in Milton, he has been
:25:15. > :25:21.associated with music for many, many years. Fill his shoes? No. It
:25:21. > :25:31.can't be done. Fill his seed? We hope so. So, has you run out of
:25:31. > :25:33.
:25:33. > :25:43.puff? Not quite, it seems. I want to play it again with Tornado Brass
:25:43. > :26:03.
:26:03. > :26:08.Well done, Bob! Absolutely! Here's They headline for the weather is
:26:08. > :26:14.that temperatures are starting to rise and stay mild. Thank you for
:26:14. > :26:22.this photo. Cast your mind back when we had the snow. The park had
:26:23. > :26:26.to cancel their Snowdrop weekend but this weekend, it is on.
:26:26. > :26:31.Temperatures are at around seven degrees on average. By Thursday we
:26:31. > :26:35.expect them to be as high as 16! We are expecting a gradual increase as
:26:35. > :26:40.we go through the next couple of days and that is because of getting
:26:40. > :26:44.the milder air. A lot of cloud through this evening and that
:26:44. > :26:48.produces a few spots of light rain and drizzle as we go through the
:26:48. > :26:55.evening overnight tonight. The cloud is holding the temperatures
:26:55. > :26:59.up with a low of just five degrees. A frost-free night tonight. Maybe a
:26:59. > :27:03.few spots of light rain in the morning but becoming drier in the
:27:03. > :27:08.afternoon and then seeing the cloud break to give some sunny spells but
:27:08. > :27:13.any sunshine will be at a premium. Already starting to see those
:27:13. > :27:18.temperatures rise. As we go further into Wednesday, it will be a windy
:27:18. > :27:23.day and we could get gusts of up to 40 miles an hour, with outbreaks of
:27:23. > :27:28.rain gradually moving east through the day. But then we get the
:27:28. > :27:33.introduction of the warm air, also 15, 16 degrees on Thursday with
