This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and me, Anne Davies. | :00:02. | :00:06. | |
Our top story tonight: A senior councillor is sacked for | :00:06. | :00:15. | |
joking about the murder of two policewomen. | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
David Stephenson made the remarks following last week's shootings in | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
Manchester. What I did was a poor joke. Perhaps I should have been | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
:00:34. | :00:39. | ||
more careful to whom I said it. Plus, we love Lucy. | :00:39. | :00:42. | |

apartments, but how do they afford Good evening. Welcome to the | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
programme. First tonight: The joke that got a Conservative councillor | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
sacked. David Stephenson made an off-the-cuff remark about the | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
shooting of two policewomen in Manchester last week. The | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
councillor, a senior cabinet member from the Erewash area of Derbyshire, | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
says it was meant as a joke. But the Conservative Party says it was | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
offensive and unnecessary. Our Political Editor John Hess has the | :01:18. | :01:28. | |

For David Stephenson, there was little to joke about and the | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
headlines today. The senior Tory now regrets the remarks that caused | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
offence. Would the benefit of hindsight, if I could turn the | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
clock back, I would not do it. started outside these council | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
offices. He made a remark about the smoking habits of the county | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
colours -- solicitor and said if you get 100 points for shooting one | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
police woman and 200 points for shooting to please women, how many. | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
You get for shooting a lawyer? He thought it was a joker, but the | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
woman Polly -- complained to her husband he was a member of the | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
Police Federation and they complained to the Conservative | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
Party. I am well aware of the hurt that the police officers are | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
feeling at the moment. They it follows the row over remarks about | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
the police made by Andrew Mitchell, the government's Chief Whip. David | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
Stephenson believes that his political sacking as a direct | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
consequence. It seems to me very severe. A look at the firestorm | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
that is taking place in London for a man who used a language that I | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
were not using any circumstances. I do not think it makes the | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
Conservative Party looks sensible and I do not think it is good | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
because I am foolish enough to think I am a bible member of the | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
frontline team. These comments could bring him under even other - | :03:02. | :03:09. | |

A new report reveals that bed shortages were partly to blame for | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
the crisis of cancelled NHS operations in Nottingham. Over | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
1,500 procedures were postponed in the first three months of the year. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Some days they were ten times the accepted levels in the NHS. The | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
main reason? A shortage of beds. Tonight hospital managers have | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
insisted the same thing won't happen again this winter. Live now | :03:46. | :03:56. | |
:03:56. | :03:59. | ||
to our health correspondent Rob Sissons. | :03:59. | :04:08. | |
There had been families and patients caught up in this saga, | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
and the reason for it are many, according to today's report, but | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
the fact that they cut 96 beds have read one hospital the year before, | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
and there was a shortage of beds, Medical Emergency Beds, here at | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
Queen's Medical Centre as the problems unfold it. As the images | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
is kept coming, the hospitals struggled to cope. At the height of | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
the problems, day after day, we featured stories about the | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
inconvenience, disappointment and pain. You know you're going to have | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
it done and then you just drop. Obviously you are nervous about the | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
operation and then it all dyes are you so you're just lost. I am happy | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
it has been done. They should have been done a lot longer before a. | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
The external report said there were not enough beds at the Queen's | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
Medical Centre, and the timing of the transfer of services from one | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
site to another was wrong. One report reveals from an independent | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
expert and authority that we got a number of things right with regard | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
to emergency services at Queen's Medical Centre. It also highlights | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
things we could have done differently and better. Brotherly | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
love is why this man says he fought so loved -- hard for his sister | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
Jilian. Her life-saving surgery was cancelled three times, but he says | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
he should never have had to battle so hard. I should not have to fight | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
to see Andrew Lansley in London and go through this. In my eyes, there | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
are too many cheats and -- chiefs and there are not enough Indians. | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
There are not enough for people on the shop floor. The report cost | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
77,000 apparent. It says there was no single cause for the problems. - | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
- the report cost �77,000. could go in and say to the people, | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
right, sort it out, let we schedule things. There will be about 18 | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
worked NHS beds in this hospital over the winter, enough, bosses say, | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
to cope. We just heard about the concern about the cost of buying | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
this report. What have the NHS bodgers -- boss has said about | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
that? I think they feel a little bit like, damned if you do and | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
damned if you do not, because they wanted to shine a torch on this and | :06:31. | :06:39. | |
have an external consultancy firm, end but it cost �77,000. I put this | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
concern to the one that the chiefs of the hospital trust, and this is | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
what he had to say. We promised that be would publish these reports | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
so that everyone concerned could read what happened and what we got | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
right and do not get right and it then gives us a very good set of | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
tests to make sure that our services, including this coming | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
winter and beyond, are at a good standard. A one of the reasons they | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
wanted to bring in a consultant was to satisfy the concerns of many of | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
:07:22. | :07:23. | ||
the patients. You can see that You can see the details they're off | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
what they actually found out. A new system for bugging operations has | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
been brought in at Nottingham's to hospital, and they are measuring | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
cancellations now, not just the ones are made on the day. They are | :07:37. | :07:46. | |
the 5th trust in England to do that. Still to come: | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
The students who are quite literally living the high life. And | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
why the times are changing for this historic wallpaper company. | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Around 1,300 jobs were on offer in Nottingham today. All up for grabs | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
at the city's annual jobs fair. Around 70% were full-time, 30% | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
part-time. But some older jobseekers thought there wasn't | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
much there for them. The organisers say they'll listen to the comments | :08:08. | :08:18. | |
:08:18. | :08:27. | ||
when they plan future events. This They want to work. Nearly 4,500 | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
people turned out for the third Nottingham Jobs Fair at the Capital | :08:31. | :08:40. | |
FM arena. 60 employers, advice teams, 1,300 vacancies, including | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
apprenticeships. There were not any teaching or nursing jobs. I am | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
looking for apprenticeships and I wanted to just see what was out | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
there. Nottingham, like everywhere else, these jobs. Nearly 14,000 | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
people here are claiming the dole, that is up by nearly 361 this time | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
last year, but it has been falling over the last three months. For we | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
are hoping that we are living in the right direction. We cannot | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
create these more -- apprenticeships on our own. | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
these three friends felt the jobs they did not do enough for people | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
who were over 50. It is more about apprenticeships than it is about | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
the older people. We might as well be on the scrapheap. I am 54. | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
of the vacancies are part time. Christmas temporary workers are | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
needed. One man was angry with that. He felt that businesses should be | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
offering more hours. It is hard wrenching to see that sort of | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
response. The organisers say they will take on board comments made by | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
people who come to the jobs there. -- jobs fair. | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
An independent review's been ordered into the protection of | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
vulnerable children in Derby after eight men were jailed for sex | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
offences. One was filmed checking two teenage girls into a city hotel. | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
The men were arrested in a crackdown on kerb crawlers who | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
targeted children. The Derby Safeguarding Children Board says | :10:09. | :10:17. | |
it's reviewing the case so that Eight stowaways have been | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
discovered in the back of a lorry that was bound for Nottingham's | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
Colwick Industrial Estate. The men, from Afghanistan and Iran, were | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
found at Calais, hiding in a consignment of soap. They were | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
detected by a sniffer dog working with British immigration officers. | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
The men have been handed over to French police as suspected illegal | :10:31. | :10:41. | |

immigrants. Next tonight, how a new 3D scanner | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
is helping police in Leicestershire take measurements at the scene of | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
serious road accidents. The idea is to reduce the length of time roads | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
have to be closed following a collision, saving time and money. | :10:54. | :11:04. | |
:11:04. | :11:06. | ||
Angelina Socci explains. The aftermath at an accident, then the | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
painstaking job for the police are to record what happened and take | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
detailed measurements at the scene, a task that can group -- lead to a | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
road being closed for up to six hours. But now, a 3 D scanner is | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
being used to take images of accident site. The unit houses a | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
laser in this part here, and it is directed at the glass area. The | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
unit spins around at a relatively low-speed. Once it has captured the | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
image, it will take a series of photographs, which we will then put | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
together to make a 3 D image of the scene. The this is the result, a | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
360 degree map of the location. can look at it as an overview. We | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
can walk through and see part of the scene in detail. We only have a | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
certain amount of time where we can keep the roads closed. We only have | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
won a chance to create -- conduct the Virchow investigation. | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
scanner will be used to cut the length of time that a road has to | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
be closed by 30 minutes. The government estimates that the cost | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
to UK trade and industry every time a main roast -- road is closed can | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
be up to �1 million per hour. It is hoped that not only will this | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
device provide accurate measurements, but also save time | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
and money. Luxury isn't a word you'd normally | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
associate with student life, but in these times of higher fees that's | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
what some undergraduates now expect. A new 21 storey tower has just | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
opened in Leicester and every apartment has been snapped up. | :12:48. | :12:50. | |

want to live in a student house with your mates, that is great, but | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
if you want to have more privacy, that is great, but it will cost you | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
more. Students are prepared to splash out on luxury. These types | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
of places are let out very quickly. The quality of the housing goes. | :14:37. | :14:41. | |

received the post, which included a �100 cheque for her disabled | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
brother, in 2003. It finally arrived at her home in South | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
Derbyshire a few days ago, nine years late. Today, the Royal Mail | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
said the letters have only just been found in a disused locker and | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
a postman has been dismissed for withholding mail. Jo Healey reports. | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
Here they are, posted in 2003, delivered just a few days ago in | :16:56. | :17:04. | |
2012. But among them was a cheque for �100. This was a winter fuel | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
payment for Mary and's brother, who is a double amputee. Because he was | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
so ill, she ended all of his paperwork, then, nine years ago, a | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
heating payment never arrived in the post. The this caused friction, | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
not with my brother, but with his wife, because they needed the money. | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
That was the winter fuel payment. I cannot produce it. There was a bit | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
of a rift and it was very upsetting for me because I had don't so much | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
for him. Then, just days ago, the payment finally arrived, nearly a | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
decade late. I could have burst into tears. There was the cheque | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
that caused the pain. The Royal Mail told me they recently found | :17:47. | :17:54. | |

telephoned or send me a personal letter to say that they were so | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
sorry and that this was obviously painful for me. I need something | :18:09. | :18:14. | |

her on television and when I saw It was just a great experience for | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
The final shot there from your second road race victory. Have you | :19:37. | :19:45. | |
come down from Cloud Nine yet? Know, I have not. This type of | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
course, I was not expecting to win it this year. Le take a couple of | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
shots -- leads to take a look at a couple of shots of the finish. You | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
can see Mark Cavendish, he has the whole team around him making sure | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
that they get to the finish, and that is exactly what Allen or | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
Barker did for me. How does it feel to have a team like that? It is | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
amazing. Alan are just one a-share bid should as well so I could not | :20:14. | :20:24. | |
have asked for a better person to have led me out. There were Hills | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
on the course and things that you thought would break the group and | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
leave you behind. What happened? had obviously trained for this type | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
of course, but it was totally out of my cupboards and, really. I went | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
around the course the day before and I did like it and I think that | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
is when I thought that I might have a chance again. The course did and | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
-- end up splitting but I managed to stay there. As it now this is | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
the aftermath of the race. You really let your emotions out. This | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
is just tears of utter joy. It was total joy. I was so nervous before | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
it the race and it all came out. Just having the whole team around | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
me and celebrating with the team was so emotional. Then there was | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
the moment with the national anthem. That was quite something. | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
Definitely. There were a lot of Great Britain supporters and the | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
crowd and they were cheering me and that made it more emotional. Can we | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
just talk about the support that you have had to get to this stage? | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
Your mother was so excited when I spoke to her on Friday and a | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
cyclist sister supports you as well. The yes, they have been behind me | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
the whole way. I would not have been able to get to where I am | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
today without them following me around the country must weeks. My | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
coach as well, he has been there next to me and helping me out | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
baroque all of this experience. It has been great. Do you get a nice | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
little great -- break from the bike? No, I am racing on the | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
bellowed from tomorrow. Well, I enjoy that if you possibly can. | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
That is fantastic. The thank you so much. | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
Couple of other brief bits of news. Derby County's James Bailey has | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
been sent to Coventry. The one time Rams Young Player of the Year is | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
joining them for three months on loan. | :22:24. | :22:32. | |
And a huge coup for Nottingham Panthers. Players in the top league | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
in the world, the NHL, have been locked out after failing to reach a | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
pay deal with the owners. Now one of them, Anthony Stewart, is coming | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
to the East Midlands to play. The right winger's no bit part player | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
at the top level. He played 77 games for Carolina Hurricanes last | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
season. Apparently he stayed in shape this summer by training as a | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
cage fighter. Just a quick bit of rugby news from | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
Leicester Tigers before I go. They've confirmed today they've now | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
signed the South African back row forward Wessel Jooste after sorting | :22:56. | :23:06. | |
:23:06. | :23:09. | ||
out issues with his visa. That was brilliant. That was so interesting! | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
And lazy's males match her bike, don't they? -- and Lucy's | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
fingernails matched her bike, don't they? You would notice something | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
like that! Now, at a time when many businesses | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
are struggling to survive, one says it's having its most lucrative year. | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
Anstey makes wallpapers for some of the best shops and designers. | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
Managers say a change in style, where people are choosing paper | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
over paint, means turnover has doubled in six years. From | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
Loughborough, Kylie Pentelow reports. | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
This is exactly how it was made a century ago, and for a very special | :23:41. | :23:48. | |
orders, Dave can still make it the same way today. So this is an | :23:48. | :23:57. | |
original William Loris. Yes, it is poppy. It is from 1980. -- 1880. | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
That is the historic way, but with each will costing up to �1,000, | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
this won't be gracing the walls of every home. Said this is how it is | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
made today, and the paper they produce is sold in some of the best | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
stories and to the best designers, like Ralph Lauren. But business has | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
not always been this good. Wallpaper went through a really | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
difficult time in the 90s when minimalism was all the vogue and | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
everyone was painting their walls white or magnolia, but I think | :24:28. | :24:36. | |
cents, wallpapers have come back into vogue and we have doubled our | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
sales over the last six or seven years. We are still growing at 15 | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
and 20 % a year and that is letting us have the chance to make better | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
products for our customers. could this be the future? It is | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
all-digital, where what Labour can be printed in any shape, size or | :24:55. | :25:02. | |
colour. -- wallpaper. But it is the hand-made product that attracts | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
global attention. And a hit at home as well. They recently created this | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
wallpaper with royal approval, but they cannot tell us where it is | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
hung. With a pedigree like this, staff at Anstey are hoping that | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
magnolia stays firmly out of fashion and it is wallpaper that | :25:21. | :25:30. | |
I just cannot help thinking about a toddler with a load of prions | :25:30. | :25:38. | |
running around with �1,000 worth of wallpaper! We talked about what | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
they put all the way through that story. Is the weather are going to | :25:42. | :25:49. | |
be a work of art? It had been an eventful start to the week. For | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
tonight, more work rain to come. It comes as no surprise that some of | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
our river levels are high. One thing we need to know about is that | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
we still have an amber warning in force for Derbyshire. Derbyshire | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
had about 10 mm of rain abroad day on top of the 38 mm that they had | :26:12. | :26:22. | |
:26:22. | :26:24. | ||
on yesterday. -- of rain today on top of the 38 mm that they had | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
yesterday. There is a flood alert. This is wide. Low-pressure is going | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
to track its way south borough the next 24 hours and things will | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
become drier and settled for the end of the week. The rain has | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
slowed down. It has pushed its way into parts of Nottinghamshire | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
earlier today, but is starting to track away before it pushes its way | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
back in and slowly pushes east as we go through the early hours of | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
Wednesday morning. The best of the dry conditions look to be out | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
taught Lincolnshire. Where we get the dry conditions you might see | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
some mist or fog. The rain will start to clear south as we go | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
through the morning on Wednesday, but the story tomorrow is sunshine | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
