:01:24. > :01:29.of a shooting. can you tell us what is happening so far? It is early

:02:46. > :02:51.died in hospital surrounded by his family. In 2006, he was diagnosed
:02:51. > :02:57.with ALD, in incurable brain disease. His brothers also suffer

:03:11. > :03:19.watch your child deteriorate... suffer in pain. A dot will never
:03:19. > :03:26.leave us, because of the other two boys. You understand everything
:03:26. > :03:32.about the illness, don't you? In the weeks before his death, Callum
:03:32. > :03:40.had problems breathing. His parents have made the agonising decision to
:03:40. > :03:50.switch off:'s life-support machine. It is something that we agonised
:03:50. > :03:57.over the days. I knew that day it was right for him. Once we knew
:03:57. > :04:02.what was happening, we called our boys down, and they came down to
:04:02. > :04:10.the hospital, and they had a few minutes with him, and said their
:04:10. > :04:20.goodbyes, and then they went. That was heartbreaking. Absolutely
:04:20. > :04:27.
:04:27. > :04:30.heartbreaking. It is heartbreaking. Next, who should pay the workplace
:04:30. > :04:33.parking levy - the workers or the highly profitable company they work
:04:33. > :04:36.for? Two unions are taking industrial action insisting that
:04:36. > :04:39.Imperial Tobacco can afford to pay for it outright rather than passing
:04:39. > :04:48.on part of the cost to their members. Mike O'Sullivan has this

:04:59. > :05:04.They have started a week long overtime ban and work to rule. They
:05:04. > :05:11.claimed the company, making a big profit, should be paying the whole
:05:11. > :05:16.parking levy instead of passing it on to staff. As a consequence, 55
:05:16. > :05:22.minutes of production profit will cover the cost of this whole
:05:22. > :05:32.parking levy. Imperial Tobacco's profit was down 6% in 2011, but it
:05:32. > :05:34.
:05:34. > :05:40.still made �507 million in the UK. The unions say that the cost of the
:05:40. > :05:50.parking levy will be �120,000 per year. They are asking the workers
:05:50. > :05:59.
:05:59. > :06:06.to pay �120 towards the levy. In a The city council introduced the
:06:06. > :06:12.parking levy to help with building two more tramlines. Employers are
:06:12. > :06:17.liable. The overall -- the overtime ban is due to end on Sunday. The
:06:17. > :06:23.company and the two unions involved all agree on one thing though. They
:06:23. > :06:33.all say that workplace parking levy is unfair to car commuters using
:06:33. > :06:34.
:06:34. > :06:39.Plenty more on its way here on East Midlands Today. Including - should
:06:39. > :06:45.it be yes or no to a Mayor? We will be live at the Nottingham Playhouse,
:06:45. > :06:54.where opponents will be having their say ahead of the big vote on
:06:54. > :06:57.Thursday. Two people found shot dead at a house near Nottingham
:06:57. > :07:00.have been named by the police. The bodies of Archie McKelvie, who was
:07:00. > :07:03.64, and his daughter Corrin Barker were found in the property at West
:07:03. > :07:05.Bridgford on Thursday. A shotgun was recovered and police say
:07:05. > :07:08.they're not looking for anyone else. The bodies were discovered by
:07:08. > :07:18.officers investigating the death of Pauline Barker, who was Corrin's
:07:18. > :07:19.
:07:19. > :07:25.mother. Her body was pulled from the River Trent earlier this month.
:07:25. > :07:33.The teachers' strike has been called off. The dispute had been
:07:33. > :07:38.taken to the arbitration service. Teachers have stayed at a number of
:07:38. > :07:46.stoppages. The union has said that will be no more stoppages during
:07:46. > :07:49.the exam period, but they will take further action if the talks fail.
:07:49. > :07:51.There are just three days to go until voters decide whether
:07:51. > :07:55.Nottingham should have a directly elected mayor. As we speak,
:07:55. > :07:58.opponents have taken to the stage to make their case for and against
:07:58. > :08:01.it. So far the issue has sparked a mixed response within the city. Our
:08:01. > :08:05.reporter Geeta Pendse is at the Nottingham Playhouse where the
:08:05. > :08:09.debate is taking place. Yes, so far the campaign for and against a city
:08:09. > :08:18.mayor in Nottingham has been a colorful one. In the last few days
:08:18. > :08:21.this leaflet in particular has raised the temperature. The Labour
:08:21. > :08:24.party who are against a mayor highlighted the fact the BNP & EDL
:08:24. > :08:32.are supporting a yes vote - opponents say using the racist card
:08:32. > :08:35.is scaremongering. But the Labour party have defended it. As I speak,
:08:35. > :08:38.some key players are taking part in a debate here at the Playhouse.
:08:38. > :08:41.They're hoping to win over voters and answer their questions. Well,
:08:41. > :08:50.earlier I spoke to two of speakers who are for and against, and I
:08:50. > :08:53.asked members of the audience what they wanted to hear about. This is
:08:53. > :08:57.about the yes campaign. This is not about individuals, it is but the
:08:57. > :09:01.principle of what do it is right or wrong for the city. Rather than
:09:01. > :09:07.wait for a mayor to be imposed on the city, the people have the last
:09:07. > :09:13.not to say dramatic -- democratic accountability is right for us.
:09:13. > :09:18.They are trying to thrust upon Nottingham eight failed system. It
:09:18. > :09:22.has failed in Doncaster or, Stoke, Tower Hamlets and a number of other
:09:22. > :09:29.places. It has been very costly and we could do without it. I am here
:09:29. > :09:35.to find out whether it will influence the county and the people
:09:35. > :09:40.who live there when they visit the city. What is the advantage of
:09:40. > :09:46.having a mayor? What are the disadvantages? It will be
:09:46. > :09:50.interesting to see what the debates are for and against this. They are
:09:51. > :09:55.asking us to vote for something we are not certain about, so it is a
:09:55. > :10:03.disadvantage to be doing that. They should have printed what the role
:10:03. > :10:06.of the net would be. Then they should have had a referendum.
:10:06. > :10:08.Tonight's event is a chance for the audience to reflect on the
:10:08. > :10:18.arguments for and against. And we'll have a considered look and
:10:18. > :10:19.
:10:19. > :10:29.all the reaction to the debate in our late bulletin at 10:25pm. I
:10:29. > :10:31.liked what she did there! A woman from Leicestershire has reached the
:10:31. > :10:34.half-way point in her mission to complete the London Marathon.
:10:34. > :10:37.Claire Lomas from Melton Mowbray was paralysed from the chest down

:10:40. > :10:46.suit she reached something of a landmark in her incredible journey
:10:46. > :10:51.and Paul Bradshaw was with her. Battling wind and rain as she
:10:51. > :10:55.crosses the Thames at Tower Bridge, Clare Lomas has been buoyed by the
:10:55. > :11:02.support that has been with their every step of the way. We have had
:11:02. > :11:08.a lot of kind people, and it does give me that drive to keep going.

:11:25. > :11:32.so many people here supporting her today -- today. It is not just
:11:33. > :11:39.celebrities who have been inspired. I wasn't sure if I was going to
:11:39. > :11:44.take part because of the weather, and then I saw her. I am really
:11:44. > :11:47.proud that she is doing it. It is really good. Wearing the buyer
:11:47. > :11:52.might suit that has given her the opportunity to undertake this feat
:11:52. > :11:55.of endurance, she is satisfied with their progress. It is pretty
:11:55. > :12:01.amazing. It would be nice to get to the finish line, but we are getting
:12:01. > :12:07.there! We will keep marching on. Passing the infamous Tower of

:12:17. > :12:23.
:12:23. > :12:28.Extraordinary. She is amazing. It was raining in London, and no

:15:07. > :15:09.extraordinary win at the weekend which saw their fans first crushed,
:15:09. > :15:11.then utterly jubilant. It was a potential Nyman, going to
:15:12. > :15:17.a Wycombe Wanderers side he needed to win to avoid being relegated.
:15:17. > :15:23.First blood went to Wycombe in the first minute. As if that wasn't a
:15:23. > :15:27.bizarre enough to minutes later this shot levelled up. If they were
:15:27. > :15:32.going down, they were going down fighting. A penalty, their
:15:32. > :15:40.opportunity, an opportunity it took. The Magpies need to a response and
:15:40. > :15:45.they found it five minutes before half-time. This, the first of two
:15:45. > :15:50.rockets which can be a so important. 2-2, half-time, everything riding
:15:50. > :15:54.on 45 minutes of football. Wycombe's top scorer seemed to have
:15:54. > :16:03.come up with something special. The clock ticked down, one minute to go,

:18:19. > :18:22.Leicester manager Nigel Pearson has given his first in-depth interview

:18:42. > :18:42.
:18:42. > :18:49.plays that common, -- that come in, they have got to be hungry enough
:18:49. > :18:52.to make next season successful. Catch more of that interview on
:18:52. > :18:55.Late Kick Off later tonight night. While Former Derby and Notts
:18:55. > :18:58.defender Michael Johnson is in the studio to talk about County's big

:19:00. > :19:04.That's 11.05pm here on BBC1. That's what's happening in the
:19:04. > :19:08.League. And could Mansfield Town be about to rejoin the football
:19:08. > :19:10.league? A 3-0 win at the weekend sets them up nicely for this week's
:19:10. > :19:19.two-legged play-off semi-final against York. Whatever happens, a
:19:19. > :19:24.good year for the Stags. We are chuffed with what we have done. The
:19:24. > :19:28.squad was chucked together at the start of the season, we have
:19:28. > :19:32.exceeded expectations. We are confident in our ability but we
:19:32. > :19:41.know she's a really tough test against York, they are a very
:19:41. > :19:45.strong and fit. There are good at what they do.
:19:45. > :19:48.Perhaps Mansfield can be inspired by Ilkeston FC? They won their
:19:48. > :19:50.play-off promotion at the weekend, just 18 months after the clubs
:19:50. > :19:53.predecessor, Ilkeston Town, went into liquidation. We were there,
:19:53. > :19:56.witnessing some great scenes. And we'll have a full report tomorrow.
:19:56. > :19:59.Finally, no play off slip-ups from basketball's Leicester Riders
:19:59. > :20:02.either. They thrilled a sold-out crowd at Loughborough University in
:20:02. > :20:05.the second leg of their quarter final yesterday. A fine display of

:20:18. > :20:22.the semi-final against Glasgow. noise and energy is fantastic. The
:20:22. > :20:27.fans have been great for my four years here. It seems that we are
:20:27. > :20:32.building. Now we are in the semi- finals. Second place in the regular
:20:32. > :20:37.season, and now we want when the whole thing. I reckon they stand a
:20:37. > :20:46.pretty good chance. It is getting up and coming in
:20:46. > :20:50.England, basketball. Now, a question for you. What have
:20:50. > :20:54.a vintage Rolls Royce, a caravan and a jamboree got in common?
:20:54. > :20:58.Lord Baden-Powell, of course. Yes, he was presented with a caravan,
:20:58. > :21:02.and a Roller to pull it, in the 1920s as a thank you by
:21:02. > :21:05.appreciative Scouts for founding the worldwide movement. Well,
:21:05. > :21:10.Jamroll and Eccles, as the car and caravan are known, are now rarely
:21:10. > :21:18.together. But they've been recently re-united in Derby so Rolls-Royce
:21:18. > :21:23.heritage engineers can restore them. Here's James Roberson.
:21:23. > :21:28.At a jamboree at Chatsworth, what could be more appropriate than the
:21:28. > :21:38.sight of the car himself, his very all -- his very own at Rolls-Royce.
:21:38. > :21:38.
:21:38. > :21:44.In 1929 at a similar jamboree in Birkenhead he was first presented
:21:44. > :21:48.with her to celebrate scouting global 21st birthday. All the
:21:48. > :21:57.Scouts were asked to donate one penny each to buy gifts for the
:21:57. > :21:59.founder. He was a carp, and a caravan. -- it was a car. Although
:21:59. > :22:05.they that survive in recent years they have hard the been together
:22:05. > :22:12.until now. At a Rolls-Royce facility in Derby engineers are
:22:12. > :22:16.taking a rare opportunity to restore jam roll alongside Eccles,
:22:16. > :22:19.named after the maker which normally now lives in Essex. The
:22:19. > :22:24.car and caravan are still almost exactly as he would have received
:22:24. > :22:28.them, right down to his writing desk and narrow couch bed. Eccles
:22:28. > :22:34.does have some would what did to the Russian. Former coach builder
:22:34. > :22:40.and lifelong scout is helping bring it back up to scratch. It is a
:22:40. > :22:45.challenge but for a good cause. amazing man. The Derbyshire
:22:45. > :22:50.enthusiast who owns it says Baden- Powell's wanted some braces, not a
:22:50. > :22:55.car or a caravan. When it was given to him at Birkenhead, a great shock,
:22:55. > :22:59.he didn't get one thing he wanted but that was put right by the Irish
