This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and me, Anne Davies.

:00:05.:00:14.

Our top story tonight, the bars and pubs facing a law and order levy.

:00:14.:00:18.

Some bars could be charged thousands to help cover the cost of

:00:18.:00:22.

late night policing. In it is a step in the right direction and a

:00:22.:00:31.

reasonable thing for us to ask. And the giant distribution depot

:00:31.:00:36.

which is likely to change the face of online shopping. And Toyota

:00:36.:00:42.

unveils its new car at the Paris Motor Show, a model bringing 1500

:00:42.:00:47.

jobs to the region. And happy first birthday James, but

:00:47.:00:51.

the day of his birth a year ago was a shock because Jane did not even

:00:51.:01:01.
:01:01.:01:07.

Welcome to Thursday's programme. First tonight, bars and clubs will

:01:07.:01:11.

soon be charged for late-night policing. A new "levy" of up to

:01:11.:01:17.

�4,500 has been agreed by local politicians in Nottingham.

:01:17.:01:19.

It's coming in because there's been so much violence around bars that

:01:19.:01:25.

stay open late in the city centre. As a result more than 20 extra

:01:25.:01:29.

police officers have had to be deployed. But publicans say the

:01:29.:01:33.

extra charges could put some out of business. Our Social Affairs

:01:33.:01:42.

Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, can tell us more.

:01:42.:01:45.

It is all quiet now, but come here late at night, at the weekend, it's

:01:45.:01:51.

buzzing. But soon bars and clubs that don't close by midnight are

:01:51.:01:54.

going to face a policing bill. And as you can imagine, they're not

:01:54.:02:00.

happy about it. Nottingham has a thriving pub and

:02:00.:02:05.

club scene making the city centre a magnet for miles around. But it can

:02:05.:02:12.

bring problems. Almost one-third of violent crime takes place around

:02:12.:02:17.

the city centre with a sharp rise at weekends and in the early hours.

:02:17.:02:21.

So now the Police Authority has agreed that the council can

:02:21.:02:25.

introduce a late night levy. should council tax payers be paying

:02:25.:02:31.

for the additional policing costs generated by a licensed premises

:02:31.:02:36.

staying open the a midnight? levy will help pay for 24 police

:02:36.:02:40.

officers focusing on the night time the economy. But is the charge

:02:40.:02:50.
:02:50.:02:50.

their? Most people have had enough. If you're going to give out cheap

:02:50.:02:55.

drinks then someone has to pick up for that.

:02:55.:03:00.

For the busy places that is all right but the ones were not so busy

:03:00.:03:07.

could struggle. It will be more difficult for us to

:03:07.:03:11.

pay on a student budget. We pay for the policing in our taxes so that

:03:11.:03:15.

buyers should not be charged for DUP the late-night venues could be

:03:15.:03:25.
:03:25.:03:27.

charged between �200 and almost �4,500 per year from next summer.

:03:27.:03:31.

Well councillors of course reckoned this new charge is the way to do it.

:03:32.:03:38.

But publicans do not see it that way. What impact do is think this

:03:38.:03:43.

will have? It will have a detrimental effect. A lot of

:03:43.:03:47.

farmers are already closing in Nottingham. And that affects

:03:47.:03:52.

everybody. A lot of people would say, why should you not pay? The

:03:52.:03:56.

Bar's other places making the profits. Why should council

:03:56.:04:00.

taxpayers pay? Will we bring millions of pounds to the city

:04:00.:04:05.

centre and we already give the council over �400,000 in business

:04:05.:04:09.

development funds. And we heard comments St it is a drop in the

:04:09.:04:13.

ocean and the fee would be around the equivalent of one night's

:04:13.:04:21.

takings. That is not true. To make �1,000 you have to take between

:04:21.:04:26.

5007 �1,000 and a lot of bars do not even make that in a week.

:04:26.:04:31.

The new levy is still needs to be rubber-stamped by the licensing

:04:31.:04:34.

committee of the council. They will decide who is going to pay what and

:04:35.:04:39.

how that will work exactly. But the council reckons it could raise

:04:39.:04:43.

several hundred �1,000 per year here in Nottingham.

:04:43.:04:47.

Still to come tonight: What doctors here think of the biggest shake-up

:04:47.:04:56.

of the NHS in its 60 year history. And find out why a Bollywood acting

:04:56.:05:06.

dynasty have chosen at Leicester as the location for their latest movie.

:05:06.:05:09.

The hunt is underway to find 1,000 people to work at the country's

:05:09.:05:14.

biggest distribution centre. The Marks and Spencer depot has been

:05:14.:05:19.

built at Castle Donington and will open next spring. The firm has

:05:19.:05:22.

adopted a new approach in its search for staff. It's particularly

:05:22.:05:25.

keen to recruit people who've had problems getting work in the past,

:05:25.:05:35.
:05:35.:05:35.

as James Roberson explains. It may looked like just another

:05:35.:05:40.

warehouse from a distance but closer in and then inside the

:05:40.:05:46.

massive scale of the new depot begins to hit you. Over 80 ft high,

:05:46.:05:51.

it is divided into three enormous areas. In this one there are

:05:51.:05:58.

already practising of selecting items automatically. The second

:05:58.:06:02.

warehouse will eventually have my 200 Packers and the third is there

:06:02.:06:06.

for expansion. The building is designed to hold around 20 million

:06:06.:06:13.

items. This vast space will hold millions more in future. We will

:06:13.:06:18.

hold 150,000 different types of product here. At Christmas we

:06:18.:06:28.

reckon we can ship 1 million in any one day. We can keep -- can fit

:06:28.:06:33.

billions of packets of sweets in here any one time! The depot there

:06:33.:06:37.

also has its own two mile-long railway link and is close to

:06:37.:06:41.

freight hubs at East Midlands airport. But the company staffing

:06:41.:06:48.

plans are equally radical. It will include amongst the 900 staff still

:06:48.:06:51.

needed, a high percentage of people with disabilities or other barriers

:06:51.:06:57.

that have stopped them previously finding work. A we have an employer

:06:57.:07:00.

making a really public commitment about their desire to employ

:07:00.:07:04.

disabled people as part of their diverse workforce and their

:07:04.:07:08.

willingness to make some changes to make sure disabled people get the

:07:08.:07:12.

same chances and choices as everyone else. The scheme has

:07:12.:07:17.

enabled Adrian to get back into work after an 18 year gap. It is

:07:17.:07:25.

absolutely brilliant. I would not have believed it back in January.

:07:25.:07:28.

The high-tech equipment and all the systems are currently being worked

:07:28.:07:33.

on. Staffing will increase and the depot will fill with goods. Full

:07:33.:07:39.

operation is on the horizon next spring.

:07:39.:07:48.

That is extraordinary. You can fit 12 jumbo jets in there. I do not

:07:48.:07:53.

think they sell those! More coverage of that story

:07:53.:07:55.

including an online photo gallery can be found on our BBC Leicester

:07:55.:08:01.

website. And there's some more positive news

:08:01.:08:06.

on jobs tonight. The Japanese car manufacturer Toyota has unveiled a

:08:06.:08:08.

new model, one which is bringing 1,500 jobs to its Derbyshire

:08:08.:08:13.

factory. The revamped Auris was shown for the first time today at

:08:13.:08:17.

the world's biggest motor show in Paris. From the French Capital,

:08:17.:08:25.

Mike O'Sullivan reports. The razzmatazz and fanfare of the

:08:25.:08:33.

Paris Motor Show. The new Toyota Auris. Towed it

:08:33.:08:37.

unveils its revamped Auris. This is the biggest motor show in the world.

:08:37.:08:42.

Motoring journalists and rivals taking a close look. This is the

:08:42.:08:47.

new Auris that will be built in Burnaston. It is described as more

:08:47.:08:53.

sporty with an upmarket interior. And it is said to be a must succeed

:08:54.:08:58.

carp in a very competitive market. It is must succeed from a sales

:08:58.:09:03.

point of view. We have to sell significant numbers of cars in the

:09:03.:09:09.

biggest sector of the European car market. We will make at least

:09:09.:09:18.

100,000 per year at Burnaston. Toyota is creating 1500 jobs over

:09:18.:09:22.

two years at Burnaston because of the new model. Some will be hybrid

:09:22.:09:27.

cars using battery power and conventional fuel. There will be an

:09:27.:09:32.

estate version being built next year. The business minister came to

:09:32.:09:37.

Paris braising Toyota's contribution to manufacturing.

:09:37.:09:41.

have always make things in Britain but it has taken global investors

:09:41.:09:46.

like Toyota it to remind us of that. They want to be in the east and

:09:46.:09:49.

then -- in the East Midlands because of the skills that are

:09:49.:09:55.

there. They have done a huge amount to revive our manufacturing story.

:09:55.:10:00.

85% of production at Burnaston goes to Europe. So with the Continent in

:10:00.:10:04.

economic crisis, what are the prospects for the new car? Toyota

:10:04.:10:14.

or has always had a strong brand. And with this new Auris, it will be

:10:14.:10:20.

back. Toyota is hoping the launch here in Paris will lead to the car

:10:20.:10:24.

being a triumph both for the company and the workforce in

:10:24.:10:30.

Burnaston. Two members of staff at The

:10:30.:10:32.

Salvation Army in Nottingham have been suspended over allegations

:10:32.:10:37.

they ignored a rape victim's cries for help. 28-year-old Mawawe Karam

:10:37.:10:42.

from Carrington raped the teenager near Sneinton Market in March.

:10:43.:10:47.

He was jailed for ten years. A passer-by told the city's Crown

:10:47.:10:49.

Court he took the victim to the Salvation Army, but was told they

:10:49.:10:54.

only helped males. Police are searching a

:10:54.:10:58.

Nottinghamshire village for a missing 86-year-old woman.

:10:58.:11:02.

Hilda Pearce was last seen at her house in East Bridgford on Tuesday.

:11:02.:11:06.

She has dementia. She went out without her medication or her purse.

:11:06.:11:08.

The police and her family say they're growing increasingly

:11:08.:11:14.

concerned for her safety. For the third time in 18 months,

:11:14.:11:18.

Derby City Council is looking for staff to volunteer for redundancy.

:11:18.:11:21.

The authority says it will have to find �25 million in savings next

:11:21.:11:25.

year because of government cuts. Two previous moves to reduce the

:11:25.:11:28.

workforce led to a total of 760 full and part time staff offering

:11:28.:11:38.
:11:38.:11:38.

to take redundancy. Next tonight, it's the biggest

:11:38.:11:41.

shake up of the NHS since it was created more than 60 years ago and

:11:41.:11:44.

it's gathering pace in the East Midlands. The nine primary care

:11:44.:11:47.

trusts which control most of the health service budgets here are

:11:47.:11:53.

being scrapped. From April they're being replaced by twice the number

:11:53.:11:58.

of GP-led consortia. Our Health Correspondent Rob Sissons reports

:11:58.:12:00.

from Nottingham, where doctors are already increasingly involved in

:12:00.:12:10.
:12:10.:12:14.

making the big decisions. Dr Kalim is a GP in Nottingham. He

:12:14.:12:18.

has seen countless reorganisations of the NHS but this time he is

:12:18.:12:24.

getting very involved. People are worried about the Health and Social

:12:24.:12:28.

Care Bill and the changes coming in. But doctors like myself thought it

:12:28.:12:32.

was a mob poured and opportunity. It is an opportunity that takes him

:12:32.:12:37.

to the centre of decision making. There have been plenty of changes

:12:37.:12:43.

in more than 200 years of this hospital, but this is radical.

:12:43.:12:47.

The doctors are helping shape services for a third of a million

:12:47.:12:52.

patients. Control of the purse strings is in TransTec from my old

:12:52.:12:55.

Primary Care Trust to this, a clinical commissioning group where

:12:56.:13:01.

doctors have a big say. It is massively different. We have had

:13:01.:13:04.

the Primary Care Trust with fantastic managers who did a great

:13:04.:13:09.

job. But they have had difficulty engaging with the specialised

:13:10.:13:14.

medical workforce. In this brave new world the GPs already claimed

:13:14.:13:19.

to have innovated. They have cut waiting times for patients to see

:13:19.:13:23.

podiatrist says. They have set up a crisis response team to help keep

:13:23.:13:29.

elderly patients out of hospital. And for MRI scans, they can now

:13:29.:13:33.

book patients in directly without going through a consultant. The

:13:33.:13:40.

budget is not endless from streets that GPs will not run out of advice.

:13:40.:13:46.

Waiting lists could be improved. The GPs seem to be over burdened.

:13:46.:13:50.

It has worked successfully for years. Whatever the doubts there is

:13:50.:13:54.

one certainty. The clinical commissioning group in Nottingham

:13:54.:13:57.

has its work cut out. Rob's here now. The reforms have

:13:57.:14:03.

been controversial, not all doctors are on board?

:14:03.:14:06.

The British Medical Association told us to date most doctors are

:14:06.:14:11.

apathetic about these changes. They started off thinking it was not a

:14:11.:14:16.

bad idea but it has become clear that finances are getting tight and

:14:16.:14:20.

some are now in doubt about it. Some are said to be enthusiastic

:14:20.:14:28.

and some dead set against it. There not a bad idea at group field

:14:28.:14:30.

their railroaded into something that now looks like something less

:14:30.:14:33.

attractive than they were told at the beginning. They do not have the

:14:33.:14:37.

freedom to do what they won. Patients will be told they have

:14:37.:14:41.

more choice when they have less. The amount of money is being cut so

:14:41.:14:47.

the range of options for patience is not going to be there. It seems

:14:47.:14:52.

we have been talking about this for a long time. What is the timescale?

:14:52.:14:59.

When the transition phase, when it ends it should be in place by April

:14:59.:15:05.

next year. It goes to show that if you tamper with the NHS, it is at

:15:05.:15:09.

your peril. But they have been proud of what they have achieved in

:15:09.:15:14.

Nottingham. The GPS there are taking more of a bigger role in

:15:14.:15:22.

decisions. Still to come, look at you now. A

:15:22.:15:28.

bundle of fun born on a shopping trip in Belper. His mother did not

:15:28.:15:34.

even know she was pregnant, now the baby is one year old.

:15:34.:15:36.

He's considered one of Indian cinema's greatest heroes, so the

:15:36.:15:38.

presence of the Bollywood actor Dharmendra in Leicester has been

:15:38.:15:47.

causing quite a stir. He's shooting his latest film alongside his two

:15:47.:15:51.

sons and hundreds of locals who've been recruited as extras.

:15:51.:16:01.
:16:01.:16:03.

Geeta Pendse went to have an exclusive look behind-the-scenes.

:16:03.:16:09.

When it comes to Bollywood roles, Dharmendra it is high on the list.

:16:09.:16:12.

As star of the silver screen for five decades, his sons have

:16:12.:16:16.

followed in his footsteps. They have chosen the University of

:16:16.:16:21.

Leicester as a location for a movie. And their presence has excited the

:16:21.:16:29.

fans here. People around here are very cordial

:16:29.:16:35.

and warm. We are enjoying it. exciting because they do not get to

:16:35.:16:45.
:16:45.:16:48.

see us. They ask, what are you doing in Leicester?! One of the

:16:48.:16:53.

fans is a university worker who was named after the actor. Watching

:16:53.:16:56.

them grown-up and bent sing them standing right next to you is

:16:56.:17:01.

unbelievable. It is not unusual for a Bollywood movie to film in a

:17:01.:17:04.

foreign location but it seems East Midlands universities are proving

:17:04.:17:09.

popular. This is the third time a Bollywood movie has been filmed at

:17:09.:17:14.

the University of Leicester. And last year a Alastair's were spotted

:17:14.:17:18.

at the University of Nottingham. The family also have a strong

:17:18.:17:28.
:17:28.:17:32.

connection to the East Midlands. daughter in law, she lives in

:17:32.:17:37.

Rutland. This weekend 700 local people will be extras in a wedding

:17:37.:17:41.

sequence. No doubt their presence in Leicester will secured an army

:17:41.:17:51.
:17:51.:17:55.

of future fans. He thinks Rutland is a fairy land!

:17:55.:18:05.
:18:05.:18:05.

Time for the sports news now. We are starting tonight with an

:18:05.:18:08.

event at Loughborough that's the first real attempt to get to grips

:18:08.:18:10.

with eating disorders in the world of sport and especially athletics.

:18:10.:18:13.

It's a problem that's often been ignored or hidden away. But it

:18:13.:18:15.

exploded into the open when one of our leading triathletes retired

:18:15.:18:17.

just before the London Olympics and blamed her problems partly on her

:18:17.:18:19.

sport Nottingham Forest have confirmed the signing of former

:18:19.:18:28.

midfielder Jermain Jenas on a one The real shock from the public came

:18:29.:18:32.

when it athlete colleague said she had suffered real problems with

:18:32.:18:36.

food because of a careless remark from a coach when she was just 16.

:18:36.:18:40.

It is not just lack of knowledge but the subject is somewhat to

:18:40.:18:48.

build. People do not want to approach it. People do not want to

:18:48.:18:52.

talk to athletes about what is going on. Holly may be the one to

:18:52.:18:58.

speak out but she is far from alone. Female athletes are around twice as

:18:58.:19:01.

likely to develop an eating disorder compared to none athletes

:19:01.:19:06.

of a similar age. And for the males that figure is 16 times more likely

:19:06.:19:11.

than an on athlete. Perhaps hardly surprising that sport these days

:19:11.:19:16.

obsessively measures every promoter and closely guides every athlete.

:19:16.:19:19.

The conference today at Loughborough was trying to educate

:19:19.:19:25.

and guide coaches. In sport we have a lot of the same risk factors in

:19:25.:19:30.

the general population but there magnified. Athletes by definition

:19:30.:19:37.

are driven and they are perfectionists. Onstage with Holly,

:19:37.:19:43.

a bit of stardust. Dame Kelly Holmes. It is great to speak to

:19:43.:19:47.

someone who is willing to open up to others and will pass on the

:19:47.:19:53.

message and hopefully help others. Achieving what Kelly Holmes did

:19:53.:19:57.

takes this Divis attention to detail. Spotting when that tips

:19:57.:20:02.

into an unhealthy obsession is a new Challenge for everyone.

:20:02.:20:07.

On to foot fault and at Leicester City to a big money signings seem

:20:07.:20:10.

to be out of favour. The manager confirm today there are not

:20:10.:20:14.

training with the first team but insisted it was just normal squad

:20:14.:20:18.

management. We have got good competition for

:20:18.:20:24.

places. I have made the decision that other people are ahead of them

:20:24.:20:29.

at the moment. If players are not friendly in the team bar on the

:20:29.:20:34.

bench than they have to work that bit harder.

:20:34.:20:39.

Nottingham Forest have confirmed the signing of Jermaine Jenas on a

:20:39.:20:43.

one-month loan from Tottenham Hotspur. Jenas began his career as

:20:43.:20:45.

a teenager with the Reds before leaving them for Newcastle for �5

:20:45.:20:48.

million ten years ago. He has found himself on the periphery at White

:20:48.:20:52.

Hart Lane and so decided to returns to Forest.

:20:52.:20:55.

Now for Notts County it has been a very good start to the season.

:20:55.:20:58.

Results and performances they've put in have been pleasing to watch.

:20:58.:21:01.

For the manager it's all about a long- term plan that's finally

:21:01.:21:04.

coming to fruition. Angela has been to hear more about the philosophy

:21:04.:21:12.

in Keith Curle's world. The Magpies are after a flying

:21:12.:21:17.

start this season, sitting pretty near the top of the table. An

:21:17.:21:22.

unbeaten away record so plenty of cause for optimism. For the man in

:21:22.:21:25.

hot seat there is a sense of satisfaction that his plans a

:21:25.:21:30.

coming together. We tried to introduce a different philosophy

:21:30.:21:37.

about how we wanted to play and the players have bought into it. The

:21:37.:21:40.

supporters are starting to enjoy the football that is being served

:21:40.:21:45.

up. Years spent alongside Neil Warnock have taught him a thing or

:21:45.:21:51.

two. Mostly, a manager cannot do anything. I do not approach even

:21:51.:21:59.

though I am a qualified coach. I have got footballing ideas. I can

:21:59.:22:04.

choose the players to fit into my philosophy. Early days yet, but

room for optimism. The approach we have at this club, the players are

:22:21.:22:26.

buying into it and enjoying it and that is spreading into the crowd.

:22:26.:22:35.

They are seeing exciting players. Just an update on the England game,

the first of the Super 8. They needed 180 to beat the West Indies.

:22:42.:22:52.
:22:52.:22:53.

England made a horrendous start in batting. England were beaten in the

:22:53.:22:58.

end just a few minutes ago by 15 runs. Two more games to put it

right. Next tonight, baby James has just

:23:07.:23:12.

celebrated his first birthday. But his arrival a year ago came as a

:23:12.:23:20.

bit of a shock to his mum. That's because, not only was she forced to

:23:20.:23:23.

give birth suddenly on a bench in a busy street in Belper, but she had

:23:23.:23:28.

no idea she was even pregnant! Jo Healey reports.

:23:28.:23:33.

He has brought joy and happiness was the up happy birthday to James

:23:33.:23:37.

but the day of his birth a year ago brought shock and grief and trauma

:23:37.:23:42.

instead of joy. Jane had no idea she was pregnant. So how is she

:23:42.:23:49.

clothing, one year on? I'm just getting used to the idea.

:23:49.:23:53.

Also getting used to him are his brother and sister in their

:23:53.:23:59.

twenties. I'd love him to bits. I would not turn the clock back now,

he is amazing. A few days ago the family brought James back here to

:24:04.:24:08.

Belper to the place he was born. One year ago his mother had been

:24:08.:24:12.

shopping and complained of stomach pains. She went over to the chemist

:24:12.:24:17.

to get some painkillers, she came out to sit on the bench and gave

:24:17.:24:22.

birth to James! It does not seem five minutes since he was born. It

:24:22.:24:29.

has gone so quickly. We would not change him for the world. At 45

:24:29.:24:32.

Jane thought you were simply going through the menopause. Being

:24:32.:24:38.

pregnant had not occurred to her, but not any more.

:24:38.:24:48.
:24:48.:24:53.

He is the last! No more surprises! But he is a lovely surprise.

:24:53.:25:03.
:25:03.:25:04.

Even more valuable for being so unexpected. It will not come as any

:25:04.:25:14.
:25:14.:25:20.

surprise, we have been talking about babies and prams all week.

:25:20.:25:26.

about babies and prams all week. No surprises here, halfway through.
