by Islamist extremists. That's all from the BBC News at Six. So it's | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
goodbye from me, This is East Midlands Today. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Tonight, MPs demand action to reduce the risk of fatal hospital blunders. | :00:09. | :00:28. | |
Why have people got two died to bring things in? It seems Matt. Also | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
tonight, facing the axe. This fire station. | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
Plus the school sports award set up in memory of a young teenager | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
stabbed to death. And I find out how robots are being | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
used more in education. Join us later in the programme! | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
Welcome to Friday's programme. First tonight, the chairman of an | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
influential group of MPs is worried that not enough is being done to | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
prevent a repeat of a hospital blunder which killed a | :01:07. | :01:23. | |
Nottinghamshire teenager. Wayne Jowett, who was 18, died at | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre 12 years ago. Tragically, an | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
anti`cancer drug was mistakenly put into his spine instead of a vein. | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Stephen Dorrell who heads the Commons Health Select Committee will | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
raise the issue in Parliament next week. Here's our health | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
correspondent to tell us more. Wayne Jowett was in remission from | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
leukaemia when the fatal blunder happened at Notitngham's Queen's | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Medical Centre. That hospital now uses fail safe syringe connectors to | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
prevent a repeat. Most others aren't. It's thought 90 out of the | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
160 acute trusts in England still don't use them. Now there are | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
growing calls for answers. Wayne was not the first. His family | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
hope he will be the last to die from this. Tonight, his mother is pleased | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
the Health Select Committee will probe by these devices are not in | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
use in all NHS hospitals. It seems forever. It just seems to be taking | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
far too long. To get these things moving. Why have people got to die? | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
To bring things in? It just seems mad. This MP has been persuaded to | :02:36. | :02:49. | |
raise this issue by the man who led the enquiry into Wayne's death. | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
Clinicians have the right to use the equipment they want to use. I agree | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
with that. Ever clinicians doesn't use a device or has not tried it, | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
how can you possibly know whether it is safe or not? My view is | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
clinicians should engage with this immediately. | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
Wayne's family have campaigned tirelessly to prevent a repeat. We | :03:19. | :03:36. | |
have been told that the government are aware of the concerns and they | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
are working with the NHS to come up with proposals. | :03:42. | :03:42. | |
Next tonight, opposition is growing to plans that would see a number of | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
fire stations in Derbyshire close. The county's Fire Service says it | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
needs to make dramatic changes due to a 40% cut in its budget. Our | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
reporter has been to one community fighting to save its fire station. | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
The children's TV classic, trumpet and. But is it a quaint and outdated | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
concept for every town to have its own fire station? Pugh, Pugh, Barney | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub. This fire station is under threat of | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
closure. This man wrote about the story in the village newspaper. | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
Costs ?81,000 every year to keep this fire station running. That | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
doesn't seem to be a tremendous amount of money. There are plans to | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
reduce the number of fire stations by a third and cut full`time posts | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
by a quarter. The chief promises it will may have a minimal impact on | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
response times. This woman was grateful for a fast response to a | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
chimney fire at her home. They arrived in less than five minutes. | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
If that was a fire brigade from Derby, it would take them at least | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
half an hour to come here. Residents here and another communities have | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
launched campaigns against closures. I think is disgusting. There are | :05:14. | :05:26. | |
lots of places nearby that need protecting. We are proud of the fire | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
station. 0 protecting. We are proud of the fire | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
station. Pride earned by the role it played in 1989. They were first on | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
the scene at this year disaster. But this station could soon receive its | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
final call out. Still to come, a warning of more | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
traffic problems in Nottingham. Could it be a Black Monday for back | :05:55. | :06:09. | |
to work commuters? Plus, why are more of our taking up | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
Mandarin? A nine`year`old pupil in Leicester | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
has been given an award for sporting excellence in memory of his former | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
teacher who was killed last month. 20``year`old Antoin Akpom died after | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
being stabbed in the street. Teachers at the school where he | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
taught hope this new sportsmanship award will inspire pupils. Our | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
reporter has this exclusive report. It gives me great pleasure to give | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
this award to Jade and Patel in primary for. Nine`year`old Jaden | :06:53. | :07:06. | |
became the first pupil to win this award. Popular teacher, Antoin | :07:07. | :07:18. | |
Akpom, died last month after being stabbed. It made me feel happy | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
because I was representing the family. Because Antoin Akpom has | :07:26. | :07:37. | |
lost his life, a would like to think he still remembers me. Antoin Akpom | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
lived for sport. With his best friend, a fellow PE teacher, they | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
set up a sports business. The motto was changing children's lives | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
through sport. I am sure he would be smiling down, full of joy. This is a | :07:57. | :08:05. | |
great way for his legacy to live on. Best friends, business partners, | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
they love each other as brothers. Jewel was by Antoin Akpom's side | :08:10. | :08:18. | |
moments after he was stabbed. To see a man like this bleeding and dying, | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
basically, that is something that will never leave my memory because | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
it is something that should never be seen from such a great man. Pupils, | :08:27. | :08:36. | |
teachers and Antoin Akpom's family hope this award will help inspire | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
others and keep Antoin Akpom in their memory. | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
Three men have appeared before magistrates charged with the murder | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
of a man in Nottingham. The body of Simon Hay, who was 47, was | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
discovered in a flat on Villa Street in Beeston on Sunday afternoon. Two | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
men from Beeston and another man from Cotgrave were charged last | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
night. They have been remanded in custody to appear at Crown Court on | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
Monday. The BBC has learned that dozens of | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
parents have asked Derby City Council about moving their children | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
away from the Al`Madinah free school. 67 enquiries have been made | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
to the council by parents interested in taking their children out of the | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
school. 33 have made formal applications to put their children | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
elsewhere. The figures pre`date yesterday's Ofsted report which said | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
the school was failing in all areas and was dysfunctional. | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
A footbridge has been officially opened at a Nottinghamshire level | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
crossing where three people have been killed in recent years. Network | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
Rail has spent ?1.5 million installing the new structure, | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
following calls to improve safety at Moor Bridge. Last November, | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
13`year`old Lindsey Inger died after being hit by a tram on the crossing | :09:47. | :09:57. | |
which links Bestwood and Hucknall. I feel this is a good thing. | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
Hopefully it will save other peoples lives. If it had been done in the | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
first place, she would still be here. We have mixed emotions. | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
Hopefully tragedies will never happen again here. | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
A grieving father has appealed to the parents of horse riders to | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
ensure that their children wear protective clothing, including | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
inflatable air jackets. Robin Woodward was speaking after his | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
daughter Aimee was fatally injured when the horse she was riding rolled | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
on top of her. She was not wearing modern, body protection. | :10:28. | :10:38. | |
Memories are no all this family have left. Aimee's home in Derbyshire | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
contains treasured photographs of the 22`year`old who died falling | :10:49. | :10:58. | |
from her horse. Her father says he was shocked to learn that there is | :10:59. | :11:08. | |
no legislation for a riding schools to wear protection. You need to get | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
the best protective gear you can possibly by. Nobody else will do it | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
for you. You 0 possibly by. Nobody else will do it | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
for you. You are on your own. Inflatable `` inflatable jackets | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
that deploy like airbags cost ?400. But this family think they are worth | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
that. They are attached to the saddle. When riders fall, the airbag | :11:33. | :11:43. | |
inflates. They have definitely saved lives. It is something that you | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
don't think can happen to you. But it can. It has happened to me. I | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
don't want it to happen to another child, another parent. Don't want | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
them to be in my position. `` I don't want. | :12:03. | :12:32. | |
Three men have appeared before magistrates charged with the murder | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
of a man in Nottingham. The body of Simon Hay, who was 47, was | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
discovered in a flat on Villa Street in Beeston on Sunday afternoon. Two | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
men from Beeston and another man from Cotgrave were charged last | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
night. They have been remanded in custody to appear at Crown Court on | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
Monday. Legionella has been found at parts | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
of one of our hospitals. No patients have been put at risk. Hospital | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
administrators say they are dealing with the situation. | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
Drivers are being warned to prepare for more disruption in the coming | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
weeks, especially commuters who travel between Nottingham and Derby. | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
From Sunday, there'll be works on the A52 at Bardills roundabout in | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
Nottingham which will last two weeks. | :13:12. | :13:12. | |
Rush hour this morning at this roundabout. There are warnings that | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
traffic here could get worse over the next two week, as work to move | :13:17. | :13:25. | |
cables begins, in preparation for a new transport hub. All approaches to | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
the roundabout will be reduced to one lane. There will be no access | :13:32. | :13:40. | |
onto the A52 carriageway for junction five of the M1. Three other | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
major transport projects are happening in Nottingham. The tram | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
extension will extend the existing network. Also the improvements to | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
the ring road. This will affect journey times. We are getting the | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
work done as quickly as we can. We hope to get it done within two | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
weeks. Please plan ahead and try to think of different routes or | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
different times you could do your journey. ?750 million is being spent | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
to improve the transport network in Nottingham. With the results are | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
unlikely to be felt for some time, drivers must prepare for disruption | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
for now. Our reporter is at one of the | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
Nottingham's busiest junctions for us. Why is this work happening now? | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
Well, the council has tried to minimise the impact 0 | :14:41. | :14:41. | |
Well, the council has tried to minimise the impact of this latest | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
disruption by coinciding with the half term holiday. It is advising | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
travelling `` it is advising drivers travelling to use different routes. | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
We have seen plenty of traffic this evening, which is only likely to get | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
worse in the weeks to come. The work on that roundabout games on Sunday. | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
You have been warned! Still to come: In sport, a lovely | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
mover. The Forest midfielder who is as famous for his celebrations as he | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
is for his goal`scoring. Is it time for our children to learn | :15:21. | :15:28. | |
Mandarin? Some are calling for changes in the classroom as China | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
continues its transformation into a global economic powerhouse. | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
Currently it is thought only a small number of schools in our region | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
teach Mandarin to GCSE level. All this week, our reporter has been | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
looking at this region's links with China. Here's his last report. | :15:45. | :15:55. | |
Mandarin lessons at this academy in Nottinghamshire. The GCSE course | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
started in January. More people should study Mandarin because they | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
say it is the language of the future. With China being such a big | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
economic powerhouse, it would be good to use it. It is one of only a | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
small number of schools in our region to teach Mandarin. 600 fewer | :16:20. | :16:28. | |
people studied GCSE Mandarin this year than in 2010. In China, English | :16:29. | :16:38. | |
is a compulsory class. Children start to learn the language in | :16:39. | :16:50. | |
kindergarten. It is depressing that so few people are studying this, but | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
things are changing. Forward`thinking schools are | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
introducing Mandarin. We are sure that others will follow. We want to | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
make sure that children are equipped for the world of work. Next year, | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
they are to strengthen Mandarin teaching with a trip to China. | :17:15. | :17:22. | |
I believe you can speak some Mandarin? | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
One of my favourite words means thank you. | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
Now it is time for the sport. First big news from Nottingham | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
Forest. The club have confirmed in the last few hours that manager | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
Billy Davies has signed a new contract keeping him at the city | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
Ground until 2017. It means a four year extension to his current deal | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
and is significant because it's rare for managers to get lengthy deals | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
nowadays. Chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi said tonight he is looking forward | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
to working with Billy for many years to come and made clear when he first | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
became chairman that Davies was part of his long term plans. | :17:57. | :18:05. | |
Billy will be with us like Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. I | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
mean that. His team are in action against | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
Bournemouth tomorrow. This week midfielder Henri Lansbury went back | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
to school to teach the pupils at Saint Edmund Campion about his life | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
as a footballer and a bit about his dance moves too. | :18:21. | :18:31. | |
Here's the midfield maestro that is the fans favourite. Instead of | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
answering my questions, some pint`size pundits put him on the | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
spot. I think we have a chance of going to the Premier League. It is a | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
hard championship. We can only do our best each week. He knows what it | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
takes to get there. Twice promoted from the championship, he believes | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
this Nottingham Forest side can do it as well. You can't drop | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
concentration for two minutes in the game or the other team will score. | :19:03. | :19:12. | |
Consistency is the main thing. So far, life is sweet. They have a | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
great team spirit. I think that helps in the championship. We have a | :19:19. | :19:30. | |
good team spirit and we all gel. He has scored for Mac goals so far. His | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
target is ten. He has a new goal celebration. I am just trying some | :19:38. | :19:48. | |
new celebrations. We try to copy music videos. My friend has quite a | :19:49. | :19:57. | |
few up his sleeve. Years teaching me some. Is a promise of some dance | :19:58. | :20:12. | |
moves in future two possibly! In future? Possibly! | :20:13. | :20:23. | |
At Derby County Steve McClaren has made his first new signing. Striker | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
Simon Dawkins has joined on a three month loan from Spurs. He's been | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
training with the Rams and a deal was agreed to keep him at Pride Park | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
as cover for injured players. Now, onto Leicester City where | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
20`year`old defender Liam Moore has just been given the Football | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
League's Young Player of the Month award. It is just the latest stage | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
in a remarkable rise for Moore who is Leicester through and through. I | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
went to see him to talk about the past and the future. | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
I have been lucky here. I have always enjoyed my football here. | :20:51. | :20:58. | |
Many young footballers don't get to travel such a long road. It is | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
frightening how many people I have made friends with here and then you | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
don't hear from them. There are good players who I thought would go far. | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
It shows you how tough it is to make it in the English league. I am very | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
fortunate. What makes you stand out? I don't know, really. I have always | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
worked hard at my game. With hard work comes some luck. I have had | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
some nice breaks. When you get them, it is down to you to take them. | :21:31. | :21:38. | |
Starting every game this season, scoring his first Leicester goal and | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
now this. Does this award matter to you? It is very nice. It is | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
something I can keep forever. It is an achievement. If it is personal | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
success or team success, I will always choose team success. Football | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
is an individual and team sport? Definitely. If the team is playing | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
well, it makes your job as an individual easier. Recognition can | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
sometimes bring pressure. You are quite laid back about everything? If | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
you can't handle pressure, what is the point in playing football? That | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
could be 70,000 people at Wembley watching you. You need to take | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
everything in your stride and go from there. | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
Other football, Notts County are in League One action tonight. They are | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
off to Swindon. While Mansfield Town have a more conventional Saturday | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
kick off, but a long trip. Away at Torquay. | :22:45. | :22:46. | |
Leicester Tigers are at home tonight in the Heineken Cup to Italian side | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
Treviso, not the pushovers they once were. | :22:51. | :23:03. | |
Nottingham Panthers host the Continental cup this weekend. First | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
game in 40 minutes. Loads going on this weekend! | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
Next tonight, robots. We may not quite be at the stage where they | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
make the tea and clean our cars. But East Midlands researchers say | :23:20. | :23:21. | |
interaction between humans and robots is proving very effective in | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
education. Both of Nottingham's universities are carrying out | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
studies into how people with learning disabilities can benefit | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
from a bit of automated encouragement. | :23:30. | :23:42. | |
Michael is using symbols and voice commands to instruct these robots. | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
They can even dance. MUSIC the universities in Nottingham, along | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
with some school pupils, have been discovering that communication | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
skills can improve when they are used as educational tools. Using | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
robots for communication skills is far greater than the kind of | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
engagement you get in normal classroom activity. That is | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
incredibly important because there is no deep learning in the students | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
through that engagement. They can think, they can walk, they can talk | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
and they can dance. These two cost between 8000 and ?9,000 each. It is | :24:28. | :24:35. | |
novel and motivating enough for the students that have to put in a lot | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
of effort to even press a switch. Technology is becoming more and more | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
a part of everyday life. No doubt robot and human interaction is | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
something to be developed further. ROBOT: Simon Ward, BBC East Midlands | :24:55. | :25:17. | |
today. I was going to say that! Quite surprising temperatures this | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
weekend. Even night`time temperatures across the south of the | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
country are not falling lower than 11 degrees. My old for the next few | :25:27. | :25:37. | |
days. We have blustery showers. We have some rain on the way tonight. | :25:38. | :25:46. | |
We have some showers earlier. It is quite patchy, but it will still keep | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
us very wet into the early hours of tomorrow. Night`time temperatures | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
falling now lower than 11 or 12. A mild and windy night. We are going | :25:57. | :26:05. | |
to also see a damp start to the day. Gradually, some like this `` | :26:06. | :26:17. | |
brightness will start to appear. Temperatures tomorrow reaching 17 | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
degrees. The wind will be a big feature. Strong and gusty southerly | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
wind. On Sunday, the wind comes from the South. Still quite a few showers | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
around. Some of those will be quite heavy. There is a chance of thunder | :26:35. | :26:44. | |
on Saturday. On Monday, low`pressure controls the weather. On Monday, | :26:45. | :26:52. | |
some rain across the South. Although it will be mild, it will also be wet | :26:53. | :26:54. | |
at times. Now, before we go, we would just | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
like to blow our trumpet a little bit because, last night East | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
Midlands Today won an award, this award, for the second year running. | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
Very handsome it is too. So, what is it for? Well, you may remember this | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
little chap from earlier in the programme. Darth here is going to | :27:12. | :27:28. | |
explain what it is. ROBOT: congratulations for winning the | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
award! That is right. It is the award for Best News Programme from | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
the Royal Television Society in the Midlands. And we are all dead | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
chuffed. On that self`congratulatory note, we will say goodbye. Have a | :27:41. | :27:46. | |
great weekend. ROBOT: goodbye, everyone! | :27:47. | :27:49. |
