:00:44. > :00:46.
:00:46. > :00:48.Good evening, welcome to Wednesday's programme. First
:00:48. > :00:53.tonight, two influential voices have today backed the campaign for
:00:53. > :00:58.Nottingham to have an all-powerful city mayor. Lord Heseltine says a
:00:58. > :01:00.yes vote will boost the local economy. We'll hear from him in a
:01:00. > :01:03.moment. And a business leader too supports
:01:03. > :01:06.it - he says a mayor will help Nottingham to "punch above its
:01:06. > :01:09.weight.". But one of the city's MPs says he's just not convinced of the
:01:09. > :01:17.need and is urging a no vote. Here's our Political Editor John
:01:17. > :01:21.Hess. Chartered surveyor Tim Garrett has
:01:22. > :01:27.big ambitions for Nottingham. He has been advising the city council
:01:27. > :01:32.on promoting Robin Hood as a global brand. Attracting world investment
:01:32. > :01:36.into Nottingham is his business. generate a profile, we need to be
:01:36. > :01:40.more visible. But he believes the current council set up his off-
:01:40. > :01:44.target. He wants a City mayor to make the big decisions in
:01:44. > :01:49.Nottingham. Inward investment is hugely important to this city and
:01:49. > :01:55.we have to get more jobs here, more opportunities for people to get
:01:55. > :02:00.work, and I think that ultimately, a mayor here would do that. Poster
:02:00. > :02:05.sites in Nottingham already give the Labour-run city's view on
:02:05. > :02:07.having a directly elected mayor. It is against and once a no vote in
:02:07. > :02:12.the referendum. From tomorrow, the case for
:02:12. > :02:17.Nottingham to have a City mayor will appear in the local paper.
:02:17. > :02:20.Between now and polling day on May 3rd, this is the message the Yes
:02:20. > :02:26.campaigners will attempt to get across. Wadham Nottingham's MPs
:02:26. > :02:31.warms to the idea of having a City mayor, but not for his own city.
:02:31. > :02:35.Nottingham's case, there is an extra cost involved. We have a
:02:35. > :02:39.stable and clear leadership and quite frankly, of all the things to
:02:39. > :02:44.have a referendum on in Nottingham, I think this is a low priority.
:02:44. > :02:50.Under the current political set-up, Nottingham's leader John Collins is
:02:50. > :02:55.elected by the city's labour politicians. A City mayor is a
:02:55. > :02:58.directly elected by the people and runs the Council for four-year
:02:58. > :03:02.terms. Nottingham labour claimed the city
:03:02. > :03:07.Mayer would cost an extra �1 million at a time when council
:03:07. > :03:12.finances are being squeezed. That is the message being crossed -- put
:03:12. > :03:15.across by the Labour Party in newspapers like this.
:03:15. > :03:18.Well, Lord Heseltine, a former deputy prime minister, is a leading
:03:18. > :03:21.advocate for city mayors. A short time ago he joined us from our
:03:21. > :03:29.Westminster studio. And first we asked him why he thought Nottingham
:03:29. > :03:33.needed a city mayor? Because the great English cities
:03:33. > :03:38.are being squeezed out in the battle between Boris Johnson
:03:38. > :03:41.fighting for London, Alex Salmond fighting for Scotland, and Labour
:03:41. > :03:45.authorities are now realising as you can see in Leicester where
:03:45. > :03:51.Peter Salsbury has become the Labour mayor, where Joe Anderson in
:03:51. > :03:55.Liverpool as argued they should have a Mayer, where a member of Ed
:03:55. > :03:59.Miliband's cabinet will resign in order to be the mayor of Birmingham,
:03:59. > :04:02.great English cities want to help reverse the North-South divide and
:04:03. > :04:09.they need powerful, accountable, identifiable leaders in order to
:04:09. > :04:15.bring that about. But Labour here says that a Salonika -- see p mayor
:04:15. > :04:19.will cost �1 million at a time when budgets are being cut. It is silly.
:04:19. > :04:24.The Labour leader in Nottingham earns a fraction of a civil servant
:04:24. > :04:29.in charge of Nottingham. Merge the two and you save money. What about
:04:29. > :04:33.the issue of accountability? If a mayor turns out to be incompetent,
:04:33. > :04:40.do the voters have the way four years to vote in another Mayer?
:04:40. > :04:44.can get bad people in any form of government, but the fact is that in
:04:44. > :04:54.Nottingham in the nude male arrangements, the people would
:04:54. > :04:57.choose the leader and they would re-elect all relate the successor.
:04:57. > :05:02.-- new mayor will arrangements. No one knows who the leaders are now.
:05:02. > :05:07.That is not how you can compete as a great city on an ever important
:05:07. > :05:12.international stage where you are looking for investment. Finally, do
:05:12. > :05:16.you think so much power should be in the hands of one person?
:05:16. > :05:21.isn't. There are a huge number of people employed, councillors, media,
:05:21. > :05:25.but what matters is the relationship with London. London is
:05:25. > :05:28.overbearing, over centralising, over-powerful, and you need someone
:05:28. > :05:33.in Nottingham to stand up and try and reverse that process to make
:05:33. > :05:35.the local people more important. Lord Heseltine, thank you.
:05:35. > :05:39.A 51-year-old man's appeared in court charged with the attempted
:05:39. > :05:43.murder of a four-year-old boy. Steve Frogg, of Frederick Street in
:05:43. > :05:46.Mansfield, was remanded in custody for a fortnight. The boy was found
:05:46. > :05:50.with serious injuries, which are believed to be stab wounds, in the
:05:51. > :06:00.same street on Monday. He's in a conscious and stable condition at
:06:01. > :06:10.
:06:10. > :06:12.the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham.
:06:12. > :06:15.A lorry driver has been taken to hospital with serious injuries
:06:15. > :06:18.after an accident which has closed part of the M1 in Nottinghamshire.
:06:18. > :06:21.The accident involving two cars and a lorry happened at lunchtime. The
:06:21. > :06:24.southbound carriageway has been shut between junctions 26 and 25.
:06:24. > :06:26.The northbound carriageway of the motorway was also shut for a short
:06:26. > :06:29.time. The remains of a body found in a
:06:29. > :06:32.Derbyshire village 10 days ago have been identified as those of a
:06:32. > :06:35.missing pensioner. Janet Bacon, who was 74 and from Mansfield, was last
:06:35. > :06:38.seen in September. Her body was found during a fingertip search of
:06:38. > :06:40.an area of rough ground in New Houghton, near Bolsover. Derbyshire
:06:40. > :06:43.Police say her death is not being treated as suspicious.
:06:43. > :06:45.Plenty more to look forward to here on BBC East Midlands Today,
:06:45. > :06:48.including: The council accused of losing the
:06:48. > :06:58.plot, changes its mind and lets Arthur return to his allotted patch
:06:58. > :06:58.
:06:58. > :07:05.An investigation's to be carried out after more than 500 patients
:07:05. > :07:08.had their surgery put off this year at Nottingham's two main hospitals.
:07:08. > :07:11.The management at the hospitals have blamed a big increase in
:07:11. > :07:17.emergency admissions. One consultant says the Queen's Medical
:07:17. > :07:20.Centre is simply full to capacity. Today another patient spoke out
:07:20. > :07:30.after her operation was called off again for the second time. Mike
:07:30. > :07:34.O'Sullivan reports. Former fitness instructor Tracy
:07:34. > :07:38.Crawford was due to have a hip operation tomorrow. But today, it
:07:38. > :07:43.was cancelled. Disappointment for her and her daughter Natalie. The
:07:43. > :07:47.second time it has been called off. I feel absolutely devastated. I
:07:48. > :07:52.have had to rearrange all of my child care plans, my family
:07:52. > :07:57.commitments, my work arrangements, all of my plans for the rest of the
:07:57. > :08:00.year with my family. They are effectively on hold. The leading
:08:00. > :08:05.surgeon at the Queen's Medical Centre says some cancer operations
:08:05. > :08:09.have been delayed. The hospital is simply full to capacity. Part of
:08:09. > :08:14.our problem is that it is difficult to find everything that is required.
:08:14. > :08:24.With cost cutting, that has obviously made life more difficult.
:08:24. > :08:44.
:08:44. > :08:46.The hospital's Trust has apologised Tracey's operation was one of seven
:08:46. > :08:50.cancelled on Monday and Tuesday. There will be no more routine
:08:50. > :08:54.surgery at the hospital this week. With the number of delayed
:08:55. > :09:02.operations so far totalling 500, the local health scrutiny committee
:09:02. > :09:05.is now asking managers to explain what is going on.
:09:05. > :09:08.A council's reversed its decision to evict a pensioner from his
:09:08. > :09:13.allotment. Arthur Martin from Eastwood was given notice to leave
:09:13. > :09:16.his plot. The council said his bad hip was a safety hazard.
:09:17. > :09:18.Residents protested at last night's council meeting. They said the move
:09:19. > :09:28.could lead to discrimination against people with physical
:09:29. > :09:29.
:09:29. > :09:36.disabilities who rent allotments. Our reporter Jo Healey is there now.
:09:36. > :09:43.Hello. It has been a hard fought battle, but Arthur is the king. His
:09:43. > :09:49.Raoul Moat, or should I say his allotment, has been restored to him.
:09:49. > :09:56.It needs a fair bit of work so he needs supporters like we saw last
:09:56. > :10:00.night protesting outside of council meetings. -- his realm it. Last
:10:00. > :10:06.night's meeting was stormy, but today of the said he was delighted
:10:06. > :10:10.with its decision. Can I just say to you, we came here, we did not
:10:10. > :10:15.think we would get that decision last night. We were determined to
:10:15. > :10:20.fight. But the fight is now over. Today for the first time since last
:10:20. > :10:27.night's meeting, some of the protesters met some of the
:10:27. > :10:31.councillors at the allotment. were tarred with the same brush,
:10:31. > :10:38.but you came out clean! The name of the council was not coming out well
:10:38. > :10:45.and so there foal I hope that if nothing else, Eid Wharf -- East
:10:45. > :10:51.what town council's name will be restored. We were very pleased with
:10:51. > :10:54.the outcome, for everyone, young and old alike. So why was the
:10:54. > :10:59.letter to evict barber from his allotment ever sent? These
:10:59. > :11:02.councillors admit it was not a full council decision. We will move on
:11:02. > :11:07.from his, we have learnt from it and hope we will work together in
:11:07. > :11:11.the town. There are other people in this a moment too well in the same
:11:11. > :11:17.position. Arthur has been a flagship that represents them.
:11:17. > :11:21.should be supporting the allotment holders and a hope they realise
:11:21. > :11:25.that. They realise that our fair needs help getting his allotment
:11:25. > :11:27.back into shape and his supporters say they are ready to roll up their
:11:27. > :11:31.sleeves. People are stealing food from shops,
:11:31. > :11:34.because the+y can't afford to eat. That's according to a senior
:11:34. > :11:39.Nottinghamshire police officer, who says it's fuelling an increase in
:11:39. > :11:43.thefts at a time when most crime's been falling sharply.
:11:43. > :11:45.And organised crime gangs are turning to shoplifting too. Our
:11:45. > :11:49.Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball has been looking into
:11:49. > :11:52.this and can tell us more. This all came out at Nottinghamshire's
:11:52. > :11:57.Police Authority today, didn't it? Yes. We heard the annual crime
:11:57. > :12:00.figures are going to see another big improvement. But there was a
:12:00. > :12:04.warning that thefts have bucked that trend. They've risen slightly.
:12:04. > :12:07.A lot of that's down to shoplifting. And the police said this isn't just
:12:07. > :12:15.about drug addicts. They think more and more people are stealing from
:12:15. > :12:23.shops, because they're desperate to eat. Historically, stereotypically,
:12:23. > :12:28.there would be drunks who would steal �5 or �10 with which you can
:12:28. > :12:32.score drugs. These days, some about food is being stolen to feed the
:12:32. > :12:35.individuals who steal it. We know that because we are talking to
:12:35. > :12:37.criminals and asking them why they have stolen it. That pattern is
:12:37. > :12:39.changing. And what else are shoplifters
:12:39. > :12:41.doing? Well, Nottinghamshire Police say
:12:41. > :12:43.they're now seeing "online shoplifting" where people buy
:12:43. > :12:48.things fraudulently, and organised crime gangs are targeting shops for
:12:48. > :12:55.more expensive items. Raids like this one, at Hamilton in Leicester,
:12:55. > :12:58.late on Easter Sunday. Where this gang stole almost �7,000 of
:12:58. > :13:01.cigarettes from a branch of Tesco, and the police think other traders
:13:01. > :13:03.could do more to protect themselves and they say stores can do that by
:13:03. > :13:06.upgrading their CCTV and by challenging shoplifters, rather
:13:06. > :13:10.than waiting to ring the police once they've gone. Money is tight
:13:10. > :13:15.whatever weight you look. People need to eat quite simply. But there
:13:15. > :13:18.is also the temptation there, and if stores worked harder at
:13:18. > :13:23.diminishing that temptation, I think we could see a real reduction
:13:23. > :13:27.in crime. The police say that stores can do
:13:27. > :13:37.that by are upgrading their CCTV systems, also by challenging
:13:37. > :13:49.
:13:49. > :13:51.shoplifters and rather than waiting for them to leave it to the police.
:13:52. > :13:54.A motorcyclist has died after colliding with a car at Bilborough
:13:54. > :13:57.in Nottingham this morning. The driver of a silver Astra was
:13:57. > :13:59.uninjured. Several roads in the area were closed leading to long
:13:59. > :14:01.delays. Buses were diverted as police investigated the scene.
:14:02. > :14:04.Officers are appealing for any witnesses to contact them.
:14:04. > :14:06.Investigations are continuing to establish what caused an explosion
:14:07. > :14:09.at an electricity substation in West Bridgford. A loud bang was
:14:09. > :14:12.heard at about ten o'clock last night. People living in Northwold
:14:12. > :14:14.Avenue were told to leave their homes because of fears of another
:14:14. > :14:20.explosion. Western Power Distribution say it hasn't affected
:14:20. > :14:23.the power supply in the area. Sport's on its way here on BBC East
:14:23. > :14:26.Midlands Today, and something else has a sporting theme too, as we
:14:26. > :14:32.catch up with the artist who's making a splash for the Olympic
:14:32. > :14:35.sailing team. A Derbyshire charity says it's
:14:35. > :14:39.vital to employ more nurses to help care for terminally ill people who
:14:39. > :14:42.want to die at home. Treetops hospice in Risley already
:14:42. > :14:52.runs a service providing specialist care, but as demand rises it's
:14:52. > :14:54.
:14:54. > :14:58.hoping to recruit more staff. Geeta Pendse reports.
:14:58. > :15:03.Deep in activity is at the hospice in this league. Does it are in the
:15:03. > :15:06.early stages of a term as -- a terminal illness so busy day care
:15:07. > :15:11.at the centre. The charity also sense nurses to the nuns of those
:15:11. > :15:15.who require more intensive support. Jane is a volunteer, but she knows
:15:15. > :15:19.the importance of those visits. Two years ago, her husband died of
:15:19. > :15:23.cancer and the charity were there to help in the final stages. I have
:15:23. > :15:27.got to the point where I was finding it difficult to cope with
:15:27. > :15:32.looking after a family and John as well. Just to have somebody there
:15:32. > :15:38.that had got the medical knowledge and the experience to be able to
:15:38. > :15:43.give him any painkillers that he needed, it was a weight off my
:15:43. > :15:48.shoulders. The charity currently has 18 of 40 nurses providing
:15:48. > :15:50.20,000 hours of care, but they want to double that number.
:15:50. > :15:55.government initiatives are saying that that is what they would prefer,
:15:55. > :15:59.that people have that choice to die at home and have their care in
:15:59. > :16:05.their preferred place. Essentially, that is what we are aiming to do,
:16:05. > :16:08.to develop a service. Linda has breast cancer and currently
:16:08. > :16:12.receives day-care. She says it is a huge comfort to know there will be
:16:12. > :16:19.support for her family. It takes away the worry so that at least you
:16:19. > :16:22.know that they will get cared for as well. When the time comes.
:16:22. > :16:28.hospice is hoping to raise enough money so they can expand and
:16:28. > :16:32.provide crucial help to families at a time when they most need it.
:16:32. > :16:35.Next tonight, a small tribute to Her Majesty the Queen. In fact it's
:16:35. > :16:39.a very small tribute. Scientists have managed to engrave
:16:39. > :16:42.an image of the Queen on a tiny diamond.
:16:42. > :16:45.It's been created as part of the celebrations to mark Her Majesty's
:16:45. > :16:54.Diamond Jubilee. But what will happen to the diamond now? Simon
:16:54. > :17:00.Ward reports. We have quite a big chamber that we
:17:00. > :17:03.can fit samples on. This is where the magic happens. The
:17:03. > :17:10.nanotechnology centre at the University of Nottingham. The
:17:10. > :17:14.diamond was placed in this machine, ready to be engraved.
:17:14. > :17:19.Basically blasted bits of the diamond out with an iron beam, so
:17:19. > :17:24.we are firing the heavy bits of atoms at the carbon in the Diamond,
:17:24. > :17:29.knocking it out. We did that accurately so we can produce a very
:17:29. > :17:34.small village. This magnified image shows the result. The picture of
:17:34. > :17:38.the Queen is so small you could fit 300,000 on a normal postage stamp.
:17:38. > :17:43.The team have uploaded a video showing their project online,
:17:43. > :17:48.attracting worldwide interest. The object itself is invaluable, but it
:17:48. > :17:52.is unique. It is an industrial diamond, it was originally from a
:17:52. > :17:56.piece of scientific equipment. We did it because the diamond looked
:17:56. > :17:59.broken so it was spared. And it is the only one of its type in the
:17:59. > :18:04.world now, right? Unless other people have been pretty images of
:18:04. > :18:09.the Queen on diamonds, Yes! University isn't quite sure what to
:18:09. > :18:14.do with the Diana now, but people organising the Diamond Jubilee
:18:14. > :18:19.celebrations might be of use it as part of their event.
:18:19. > :18:23.That is amazing, 300,000 of those images on one postage stamp!
:18:23. > :18:25.Unbelievable! First tonight some bad news for
:18:25. > :18:28.Nottingham Forest. They've failed to get Gareth McCleary's suspension
:18:28. > :18:32.overturned. He was sent off in Monday's win at Peterborough for
:18:32. > :18:37.this foul. Manager Steve Cotterill was confident they'd get the red
:18:37. > :18:40.card rescinded but their appeal has been unsuccessful. He'll now miss
:18:40. > :18:43.the next three games as they look to pull further away from
:18:43. > :18:46.relegation. Further up the table and Derby
:18:46. > :18:51.County manager Nigel Clough is still not writing his team off from
:18:51. > :18:59.finishing in the play-offs. They're six points off with four games to
:18:59. > :19:03.go. -- five points off. He admits they're a big outside bet but
:19:03. > :19:08.they'll fight to the end. We would do everything we can in the last
:19:08. > :19:12.four games, but that might not be enough. We are playing card of the
:19:12. > :19:15.way in the next two. We will know more after those for two games. --
:19:15. > :19:18.Cardiff away. We're little over three months away
:19:18. > :19:21.from the Olympics and many of our athletes are still battling for
:19:21. > :19:25.their place at London 2012. And there'll be one big battle going on
:19:25. > :19:29.in Nottinghamshire this weekend. Canoeist Tim Brabants will compete
:19:29. > :19:39.in an event that will help to decide if he gets to go for yet
:19:39. > :19:47.
:19:47. > :19:51.It is gold now for Tim! Tim won a gold in Beijing, the
:19:51. > :19:56.first ever Brit to win one in the sport. If he makes London, it will
:19:56. > :20:01.be his 4th Olympics. But all these years on from his first games, his
:20:01. > :20:06.appetite for success remains the same. But less hair then I did
:20:07. > :20:11.then! I'm a lot more experienced, I have learned more about myself
:20:11. > :20:21.through training and racing. The same competitors of there and we

:20:35. > :20:39.Everyone in sport has to compete against everyone else in the

:21:15. > :21:19.looking at winning medals, not just getting qualifications. Athletes
:21:19. > :21:23.tend to be quite positive and you like the challenge of coming back
:21:23. > :21:28.from adversity and problems like that. It makes you feel like more
:21:28. > :21:32.of an accomplishment when you achieve the result you want. It

:22:06. > :22:12.making the team. I am 34 and I have been going
:22:12. > :22:16.through this process since I was 14. I have done this 20 times before so
:22:16. > :22:21.I am kind of used to it. We know what it is like, we know it is one
:22:21. > :22:25.weekend. The most worrying thing is not to get ill or injured. If you
:22:25. > :22:28.are, then that is it. That is the most concerning thing.
:22:28. > :22:31.Well, one person who can definitely plan for London 2012 is
:22:31. > :22:40.Nottinghamshire's Natalie Blake. The powerlifter's been named in the

:23:15. > :23:24.For a frustrated armchair sportsman to be involved this closely in this
:23:24. > :23:29.way with sports, it is a nice feeling. In 2012, I have a
