:00:09. > :00:14.Our top story tonight. As City locks horns with the Government
:00:14. > :00:20.over the council tax. Nottingham's Labour cabinet decides
:00:20. > :00:24.on a rise next year. Downing Street demanded a freeze.
:00:24. > :00:29.Hidden Alzheimer's. Are thousands of dementia cases going
:00:30. > :00:33.undiagnosed? Also, a report says one of our
:00:33. > :00:40.cities has the most CCTV cameras in the country, but are the figures
:00:40. > :00:50.all they seem? And the 50s and 60s cine films
:00:50. > :00:58.
:00:58. > :01:00.Good evening. Welcome to the programme. First, Labour leaders in
:01:00. > :01:05.Nottingham are set to defy the Government's the man that council
:01:05. > :01:10.tax be frozen. Instead there is to be a tax
:01:10. > :01:17.increase, and it cuts to the council's by Jude.
:01:17. > :01:22.From outside Nottingham's council house, here is the political editor.
:01:22. > :01:28.Over the next week or so, councils will be finalising their annual
:01:28. > :01:32.budget. Tomorrow it is the turn of Leicester City Council, but already
:01:32. > :01:35.this council is in the dock this evening, with the Local Government
:01:35. > :01:44.Minister accusing it over its council tax rise, of it being
:01:44. > :01:50.unjustified and inconsiderate. Behind the glass in open plan
:01:50. > :01:56.offices, this is how the Labour leadership responded. We were
:01:56. > :02:02.allowed to film the executive board. This is Labour's high command, and
:02:02. > :02:12.they have approved a budget that will rattle the government
:02:12. > :02:14.
:02:14. > :02:19.There will be more redundancies. 195 jobs will go out of a workforce
:02:19. > :02:22.-- but force of 10,500. Council tax will rise up 3.4%, when most
:02:22. > :02:30.councils are freezing council tax for the second year running.
:02:30. > :02:33.have kept a -- an apprenticeship scheme going. The previous
:02:33. > :02:43.government introduced this, and we're keeping that going.
:02:43. > :02:47.
:02:47. > :02:52.The residents that live here and outraged that an old folk's home is
:02:52. > :02:58.going to close. There are physical and mental concerns, and that is
:02:58. > :03:05.enormous. There are already very stressed, worrying about the move.
:03:05. > :03:10.What are the staff like? Fantastic. There are fantastic people. They
:03:10. > :03:14.look after you. Could there be a reprieve? I am not offering an
:03:14. > :03:18.necessary hope, but we are genuinely still looking at the case.
:03:18. > :03:22.It is not an easy case to his all. The government says there is a
:03:22. > :03:26.moral duty on local politicians to freeze council tax. Labour in
:03:26. > :03:30.Nottingham claims it is being unfairly penalised on the share of
:03:30. > :03:35.government funding. But getting to the bottom of both claims may need
:03:35. > :03:41.more transparency yet. What else has the Local Government
:03:41. > :03:45.Minister had to say? I have to tell you that the Conservative leader on
:03:45. > :03:50.the City Council, Georgina Culley, declined to be interviewed. She
:03:50. > :03:57.wants to wait until next month when the council rubber-stamp the
:03:57. > :04:00.decision. But the lobal -- local not such a shrinking violet. He has
:04:00. > :04:10.accused the Labour leadership of boosting its coffers, and refusing
:04:10. > :04:11.
:04:11. > :04:15.to tackle waste. Furthermore, in a statement, he criticises the Labour
:04:15. > :04:25.Government for not taking too �0.5 million to freeze council tax this
:04:25. > :04:35.
:04:35. > :04:42.year. -- �2.5 million. Still to come. And new man at Notts
:04:42. > :04:48.County. Keith Curle meets the press the stock and the weather forecast?
:04:48. > :04:52.Rather flat, with a sprinkling of sugar.
:04:52. > :05:02.This is how high we expect the temperatures to get, as we take a
:05:02. > :05:06.
:05:06. > :05:10.Next tonight, the secret anguish in our midst. New figures suggest more
:05:10. > :05:14.than 30,000 people in the region are struggling with dementia
:05:14. > :05:17.without getting any treatment or help.
:05:18. > :05:24.It is a situation getting worse because the number of sufferers
:05:24. > :05:29.continues to rise. They were married for 47 years. For
:05:29. > :05:32.the last 15 of them, Morris, all was the life and soul of the party,
:05:32. > :05:38.suffered a slow decline, with dementia.
:05:38. > :05:48.He withdrew into himself. He used to get frustrated. He lost his
:05:48. > :05:50.speech. It is very distressing. People do not understand that.
:05:50. > :05:55.nearly 23,500 people have been diagnosed with dementia in the East
:05:55. > :05:58.Midlands. That is up by 2001 year. But take a look at this figure.
:05:58. > :06:08.That is the number of people who have dementia but have not been
:06:08. > :06:08.
:06:08. > :06:10.diagnosed. -- that is up by 2,000, in one year for stopped that is
:06:10. > :06:18.very distressing. People are not taking the treatment
:06:18. > :06:22.that is available. If you are struggling to remember a
:06:22. > :06:29.recent -- to remember recent events. Crucially, of other people are
:06:29. > :06:34.worried about your memory. Experts say to see your GP. You
:06:34. > :06:39.have to be diagnosed to get help. For this women, it was a truly.
:06:39. > :06:45.Having a diagnosis seems to take the weight off your shoulder,
:06:45. > :06:49.somehow. Then you start to get help. Today's figures show that in this
:06:49. > :06:59.region, fewer than half of the people with dementia have been
:06:59. > :07:00.
:07:00. > :07:05.diagnosed and are getting help. In other news, more than 180 police
:07:05. > :07:08.jobs across Leicestershire could be at risk. The county's police
:07:08. > :07:14.authority has voted today to increases element of the council
:07:14. > :07:20.tax by 2.5%. It was one of three options under consideration. The

:07:28. > :07:33.There is a dress-rehearsal in April for the Leicester to Peterborough
:07:33. > :07:43.stretch of the Olympic torch relay. Officials will test out logistics
:07:43. > :07:43.
:07:43. > :07:48.ahead of the 70 day really started in May. -- really a race.
:07:48. > :07:52.Derby City Council is getting rid of its one-hour stay at car parks.
:07:52. > :07:59.That means people have to pay for two hours, even if they only stay
:07:59. > :08:04.for 30 minutes. On-street parking is also set to rise by 10 pence per
:08:04. > :08:07.hour for. Civil liberty researchers are
:08:07. > :08:17.claiming Leicestershire has the highest number of CCTV cameras in
:08:17. > :08:18.
:08:18. > :08:23.Britain. It has got three times as many as Manchester, with 2,000.
:08:23. > :08:29.Nottingham is not far behind. But the City say that the cameras are
:08:30. > :08:34.not watching the general public are told, but are making council
:08:34. > :08:38.property safer. Big Brother Watch ing a source
:08:38. > :08:43.safeguarding society? Here, the residents are asking for more
:08:43. > :08:50.surveillance. This one, were really desperate the need. We have got a
:08:50. > :08:58.local shop, where shoplifters would gather at the day. Gangs of about
:08:58. > :09:08.30 people hanging around here. It was really intimidating. We could
:09:08. > :09:12.
:09:12. > :09:17.not go to town, so it was really has worked. It really has changed
:09:17. > :09:22.here. The report says Nottingham has 1120 CCTV cameras, but of those,
:09:22. > :09:25.only 200 are in the public space. That is watching areas like the
:09:25. > :09:33.city centre. The rest of them, about 800, are in housing
:09:33. > :09:39.accommodation. With Big Brother Watch, maybe they have got their
:09:39. > :09:42.figures confused and amalgamated. - - amalgamated their number has.
:09:42. > :09:47.Leicester City Council says the figures are misleading. We have
:09:47. > :09:51.given the full range of cameras used for all sorts of different
:09:51. > :09:54.purposes. Other cities may have just given the ones for their city
:09:54. > :09:59.centre, or the ones on the outer estates. They have not included the
:09:59. > :10:02.full range of figures. Leicester have given a comprehensive answer,
:10:02. > :10:07.whereas some other councils have said that certain cameras do not
:10:07. > :10:11.count because they are in these homes. We think it is important to
:10:11. > :10:14.discuss all public surveillance, because if your neighbour once a
:10:14. > :10:18.security camera, or what responsibility do you have to say
:10:18. > :10:22.that you would prefer not to have your front door watched? This is
:10:22. > :10:26.where they do the watching, a secret location in Nottingham. The
:10:26. > :10:30.cameras certainly work. They caught my cameraman filming this very
:10:30. > :10:35.story this morning. They recorded it in case we were acting
:10:35. > :10:45.suspiciously. Of course we were not. But Cynthia says, to touch those
:10:45. > :10:49.who are, the cameras need to keep moving. -- to catch those. All that
:10:49. > :10:55.has happened is people have moved halfway down the street. They are
:10:55. > :10:59.not silly. Some of them know the law better than you.
:11:00. > :11:05.So, you went to the secret location. What more can you tell us about
:11:05. > :11:09.what was on their? They have got two big banks of cameras, they are
:11:09. > :11:13.watching the screens constantly. One looks at housing estates, and
:11:13. > :11:16.one looks at the city centre. They told me today that those cameras
:11:16. > :11:21.are not just looking out for people committing crime, but they seem to
:11:21. > :11:28.be having another effect, keeping things like tower-blocks, corridors
:11:28. > :11:31.and lifts Tavey. That sounds all right, but not everyone likes CCTV.
:11:31. > :11:36.I know, and they are certainly keeping their eye on the councils.
:11:36. > :11:43.Let us see what they want to happen now. You think it is important for
:11:44. > :11:48.residents to last, while the council's spying on us? They are
:11:48. > :11:53.using taxpayers' money. Ultimately we do not want people to be victims
:11:53. > :11:59.of crime, and have to rely on CCTV afterwards. We want the crime to be
:11:59. > :12:03.stopped before it happens. Nick Pickles is also asking for a review
:12:03. > :12:06.of CCTV, and wants to know where all the cameras are, and to see
:12:06. > :12:11.there are being used in the most efficient way possible for. Thank
:12:11. > :12:15.you. The NHS has agreed to fund the
:12:15. > :12:19.later stage of treatment for an autistic boy who refuses to eat any
:12:19. > :12:22.food. It means Daniel Harrison from
:12:22. > :12:31.Nottingham will be able to go back to a specialist clinic in Austria
:12:32. > :12:36.He has refused to eat food for most of his young life. But now, Daniel
:12:36. > :12:40.Harrison will drink and milk for Milan and water. His family wants
:12:40. > :12:47.to return to a specialist clinic in Austria, so that the staff can help
:12:47. > :12:52.to get the five-year-old who has autism to each.
:12:52. > :12:54.Lots of meetings with different people, where they all try separate
:12:54. > :12:58.therapies on him. He will be surrounded by food all day long,
:12:58. > :13:03.and hopefully within two weeks we would get a break through.
:13:03. > :13:09.family had to raise �20,000 for the trip last year, and this time the
:13:09. > :13:13.NHS will pay. They are funding the hospital treatment in Austria. I
:13:13. > :13:18.think he is the first child who has gone who has been funded this way.
:13:18. > :13:24.And Daniel will be six in September. His family is hoping that by then
:13:24. > :13:27.he will be able to eat a slice of A Nottinghamshire construction

:13:37. > :13:45.of its vehicles were caught crossing the Swarkestone Causeway,

:13:48. > :13:51.ancient monument and is covered by a weight restriction to protect it
:13:51. > :13:54.from damage. The concept of a new war memorial
:13:54. > :13:58.in Leicestershire's been revealed today. Four life-size bronze
:13:58. > :14:01.soldiers will be 'standing at ease' at County Hall as part of a new
:14:01. > :14:04.sculpture honouring Leicestershire's Armed Forces. It
:14:04. > :14:08.commemorates servicemen and women who have lost their lives in
:14:08. > :14:13.conflicts around the world since 1945. The statues will be
:14:13. > :14:15.officially unveiled this autumn. And hundreds of people have been
:14:15. > :14:20.taking part in the annual Royal Shrovetide football game in
:14:20. > :14:24.Ashbourne. The Down'ards appear to have had most of the play so far
:14:24. > :14:27.today but neither team has yet scored. The two day event got
:14:27. > :14:36.underway at two o'clock this afternoon when Dr Paul Kirtley, a
:14:36. > :14:41.local GP, turned up the ball. Play will continue tomorrow.
:14:41. > :14:44.A whole new language all of its own. We live in an age where it seems
:14:44. > :14:47.there's a pill for every ill. But it's estimated that, in the UK,
:14:47. > :14:52.well over a hundred million pounds worth of dispensed medicines goes
:14:53. > :14:55.to waste every year. Well that's not good enough for one Leicester
:14:55. > :15:03.based charity, so they're collecting them up and sending them
:15:03. > :15:08.to people who really need them. Jim Harris reports.
:15:08. > :15:14.Another delivery of unwanted medicines for the charity.
:15:14. > :15:20.Medicines that we have thrown away but could save someone's life.
:15:20. > :15:27.million worth of medicines go to waste each year. We are trying to
:15:27. > :15:34.tackle some of the waste and we have the cycled �10 million worth.
:15:34. > :15:36.The drugs are destined for Africa in clinics, schools and orphanages.
:15:36. > :15:41.Some of the staff are medically qualified and make sure the drugs
:15:41. > :15:46.are safe and appropriate for the diseases they hope to combat.

:16:14. > :16:20.this country and we throw away. And really it is using the resources to
:16:20. > :16:24.help them continue the amazing work they do. The medicines are
:16:24. > :16:29.collected through GPs all over the country. It has grown rapidly
:16:29. > :16:39.recently and around 950 practices are on the books. The success

:16:41. > :16:46.We do not want the Medicines to be on the shelves, they need to be in
:16:46. > :16:53.Africa. Many charities need more money. If it was not for the
:16:53. > :16:57.volunteers, the drugs will be in landfill.
