Monday. That is all from the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies and me, Dominic Heale. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Tonight: Another big step forward in the hunt for Madeleine. | :00:09. | :00:20. | |
1600 miles away from the McCanns' home village, the Portuguese inquiry | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
into the disappearance of Madeleine is springing back into life. | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
Also, Eunice Koroma, agony. Her son was murdered but none of his friends | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
will talk. 500 unfilled posts. The hospitals | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
now scouring Europe for new nurses. And our Queen of the cakes. France's | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
Queen, joins us. Good evening and welcome to the | :00:55. | :01:10. | |
programme. First tonight, five years after deciding to close the | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
Madeleine McCann case, police in Portugal sensationally reopened | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
their inquiries today. Officials in Lisbon say they are following up new | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
information after an internal review. | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
In England, there's been a cautious welcome to the news from Kate and | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
Gerry McCann. Let's join our chief news reporter Quentin Rayner, who's | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
in the McCann's home village of Rothley for us. Quentin, how much of | :01:33. | :01:43. | |
a surprise is this? Very much so. They are in mind that up until now | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
the Portuguese authorities were adamant they would not reopen this | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
case without new evidence. And then things started to move very quickly. | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
This was only proposed last night but by today the Portuguese Attorney | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
General confirmed the case would be reopened. There has also been a | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
discreet review going on behind the scenes by Portuguese police officers | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
in the north of the country, outside the Algarve. They have carried out | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
their own review and this seems to have come from that two and a half | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
year review. Everyone is in agreement that this represents a | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
triumph for the McCanns and their determination to have the case | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
reopened. Kate and Gerry McCann say they are | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
pleased that the investigation has been reopened in Portugal. The | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
Portuguese shelved their investigation five years ago but now | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
they're Attorney General says new lines of inquiry have been | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
discovered as a result of an internal review. For a case to be | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
reopened there has to be new evidence. Not just looking back at | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
things which had already been discovered but new evidence. The | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Portuguese authorities always said they would reopen the investigation | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
at that ever happened, although they are not telling us what that lead | :03:22. | :03:32. | |
is. The Portuguese inquiry will run separately but in parallel with the | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
Metropolitan Police. He was a white man with brown hair. In a | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
reconstruction, they said it was vitally important for them to track | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
down a man seen carrying a child. Two witnesses saw him and helped the | :03:52. | :04:01. | |
police to produce the e`fits of him. I hope this will enable a resolution | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
of this terrible thing that happened to the McCann family and saw that | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
her parents are able to now finally what happened to Madeleine. The | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
Portuguese decision is said to be very significant. It is hoped it | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
will answer the questions of the McCanns say they need. Although the | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
Met Police welcome this significant development, they also cautioned | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
that there is a way to go yet. We have a statement that says this | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
development is the best opportunity yet to understand what happened to | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
Madeline. Still to come this evening ` Ellie | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
takes the plunge. We talk to swimming star Ellie | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Simmonds about her decision to move to Loughborough to train for the | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
next Paralympics. A Nottinghamshire man has been | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
jailed for life for shaking his partner's child to death. Darryl | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Elliott, who's 30 and from Stapleford, killed 14`month`old | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
Amelia Bowmar at their home in Sutton`on` Sea in Lincolnshire last | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
year. Police say Elliott had consistently denied harming the | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
child. He'll serve a minimum of 15 years in prison. | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
The region's major hospital trusts have all been put in the top three | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
bands of risk by the Care Quality Commission. The CQC has drawn up a | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
list of high`risk hospital trusts, based on higher than expected death | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
rates, staffing levels and patient satisfaction. The Sherwood Forest | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
Trust ` including Kings Mill Hospital ` is in the highest risk | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
band along with the University Hospitals of Leicester Trust. | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
Nottingham University Trust is in the second highest band. And Derby's | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
in the third. Some of those hospitals revealed | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
today that they are having real trouble recruiting nurses. | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
More than 500 posts are unfilled in the East Midlands so hospital bosses | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
are having to scour Europe, and beyond, for more staff. Rebecca | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
Sheeran has this report. They play a vital role caring for | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
patients and yet there is a shortage of nurses in our region. Campaigners | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
call it the biggest crisis in nurse recruitment for a generation. It is | :06:19. | :06:28. | |
a major problem. Crucial care can only be delivered by nurses and this | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
is a problem, especially in winter. In the Leicester, there are 300 jobs | :06:36. | :06:44. | |
to fill. In Nottingham, they need 200. In Derby, there are only 27. In | :06:45. | :06:54. | |
Kingsmill they don't have the final figures but they are looking to | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
recruit. Here, the chief nurse needs to make huge strides to increase the | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
level of nurses. Staffing levels were not meeting the needs of | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
patients and we have to sort out where we are getting the nurses | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
from. This isn't the first time that NHS trusts have recruited from | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
abroad. 14 years ago, nurses came from old area and the Philippines. | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
It is hard to find nurses in the UK because, despite unemployment, it is | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
a hard job to train for. Some people disagree. There has been a total | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
lack of forward planning for this. A lot of nurses I have spoken to got | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
fed up working in the NHS and went to the private sector. That should | :07:46. | :07:53. | |
not have happened. The trust admit that recruitment won't happen | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
overnight and they're putting key staff in place as they face a tough | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
winter. So, local hospitals in our region | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
may be having to recruit from abroad to fill vacancies but that doesn't | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
mean that no`one here wants to follow a nursing career. | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
In fact, the University of Derby says it's been inundated with | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
applications for their nursing course. Navtej Johal reports. | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
To become a nurse, you need patience, compassion and, these | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
days, a university degree. It may seem that demand for nurses in the | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
East Midlands is due to a lack of people entering the profession but | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
according to a survey, that is not the case. We had around 1300 | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
applications, which is good in terms of being able to select the best | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
doorstop there is no shortage of demand. The demand for places has | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
also been fuelled by a high percentage of graduates getting jobs | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
at the end of the course and having their tuition fees paid. Everyone | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
from my family is in a nursing and caring background and it has always | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
excited me. You must have care and compassion, you have to be | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
courageous and committed. Without those values, you are not likely to | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
enter into the profession. There are a lot of people who go on to Erin | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
more than I ever will not when they come home they won't have job | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
satisfaction. I will love what I do. The number of places assigned to a | :09:36. | :09:43. | |
university's nursing course are now set. | :09:44. | :09:53. | |
For now, these students hope to be filling vacancies when they graduate | :09:54. | :10:04. | |
in three years' time. The mother of a Leicester man shot | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
dead at a music event has pleaded with his friends to help bring his | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
killer to justice. So far, the friends of Sylvester | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
Koroma, who were with him when he was shot, have refused to talk to | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
police. Now Eunice Koroma has given an emotional interview to our | :10:19. | :10:28. | |
reporter Sarah Teale. He was a lovely son, a lovely dad | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
and lovely brother. It has just broken my life into pieces for | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
losing my eldest son. Eunice Koroma is in the depths of grief. She is | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
preparing to bury her son, knowing that his friends, who hold the clue | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
to finding his killer, haven't spoken to police. How those people | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
can look at me and say they are grieving and not come forward to the | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
police to bring these people to justice. He was shot in the stomach | :11:07. | :11:14. | |
outside this Birmingham nightclub on August of the 10th. Police say the | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
key to finding his killer lies in Leicester. Sylvester's family and | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
the police say that the friends who were with him when he was shot | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
should examine their conscience. If they were happy to be with him when | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
he was alive, they should not desert him now that he is dead. It will | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
bring closure, although I know it will never bring him back to life. | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
But it will give us closure. Yes, his life is gone but the person | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
responsible should be charged for what he has done. Police want to | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
reassure any witnesses that they can remain anonymous. | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
A Zimbabwean grandmother who's lived in Leicester for more than a decade | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
is expected to be deported in the next few minutes. Evenia Mawongera | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
was detained last month after reporting to the UK Border Agency in | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
Loughborough. Supporters have been campaigning for her to stay and say | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
they fear for her safety if she returns to her home country. She's | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
had several applications for asylum turned down. | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
There's been a big rise in shoplifting in Nottinghamshire. | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
Figures released by the county's Police and Crime Commissioner show a | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
25% increase ` the fourth highest in the country. Nearly 3300 offences | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
were recorded in the first six months of this year. | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
Next tonight, the people who ring 999 for the most ridiculous of | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
reasons. Derbyshire Police today released the recording of one such | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
call ` a woman who wanted help with a spider in her house. | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
Officers say a third of 999 calls made are not genuine emergencies. | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
And they can prevent important calls from getting through. From Ripley, | :13:11. | :13:20. | |
Simon Hare reports. A 999 call comes into the Derbyshire | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
police control room but not all the calls received are genuine | :13:28. | :13:27. | |
emergencies. We receive something like 400 calls | :13:28. | :14:01. | |
her day and around one third of those are not emergencies and some | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
of them aren't even policing matters. Other recent examples | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
included someone reporting a letter sent to the wrong address, plus a | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
woman and a teenage girl were recently prosecuted for making more | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
than 400 hoax calls. We are not trying to put people off calling us. | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
Don't be afraid to call the police. But if you don't think it is an | :14:29. | :14:40. | |
emergency, don't call 999. Sometimes we can even mess cols as a result | :14:41. | :14:49. | |
and people are in danger. Today is the anniversary of the introduction | :14:50. | :14:59. | |
of the 101 nonemergency number. Hopefully, in future people will | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
understand when to use each number. For some communities, the great | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
British local is becoming a thing of the past. Hundreds of pubs are going | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
out of business every year. So, in order to survive, many are starting | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
to branch out beyond beer and pub grub. | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
A Leicestershire pub has now joined in the trend. The Queen's Head in | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
Saddington has just opened the only shop in the village, as Simon Ward | :15:22. | :15:29. | |
reports. With help from the former England | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
and Nottinghamshire cricketer Chris broad, The Queen's Head pub farm | :15:34. | :15:41. | |
shop was opened. It comes at a time that a survey claims that 20 pubs | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
close every day in the UK. Gone are the day that pubs just open and | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
people walk through the door. You have to make sure that you are doing | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
little things like a farm shop. The public will make a lot of food for | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
the shop which will open from nine until seven. It saves having to | :16:07. | :16:17. | |
travel to other places. This shop is trying a different business method. | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
Bartering. People have even paid with the pheasants. This pub is now | :16:25. | :16:34. | |
even more part of the community as it serves as a for older people. | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
Back in Leicestershire, it is hoped of the pub and shop will thrive. You | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
can have a pint of beer and then go next door for a pint of milk. | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
Talking of food ` which we nearly always are these days ` look at | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
these! Cakes. But these aren't just any | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
cakes ` these are Frances Quinn cakes. Frances, from Market | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
Harborough, was a bit of a dark horse in this year's Great British | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
Bake Off. But she romped home in style. Frances will be joining us | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
live later in the programme. Sport now. | :17:09. | :17:26. | |
Derby County manager Steve McClaren says young Liverpool defender Andre | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
Wisdom will be tested by his move to the Rams. Wisdom is on a season`long | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
youth loan and a lot is expected of him ` he's already made first team | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
appearances for Liverpool. So I asked McClaren if he was the real | :17:38. | :17:48. | |
deal. We'll soon find out. I think this is a big test for players who | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
come from big clubs on loan. It is difficult. They have to handle the | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
championship, a new dressing room, a new way of play. We are hoping, with | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
the mature T he has shown in his performances for Liverpool and | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
England under`21s, he will fit right in. | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
At Nottingham Forest, we've had confirmation of Dexter Blackstock's | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
loan move to Leeds United. Leeds announced his arrival on a | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
three`month deal this afternoon. And in Rugby, Leicester Tigers boss | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
Richard Cockerill reckons he will be without more than an entire team's | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
worth of players for the weekend's trip to Wasps. Tigers have been hit | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
by lots of injuries, and now by international call ups. But | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
Cockerill insists his squad can cope. | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
I have no interest in those who can't play this week. My only focus | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
is getting the guys who are available to play. I am only | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
concerned with the guy who will play for us this weekend. They are a good | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
bunch. They will want to play with us and they will be hard to beat. | :18:54. | :19:05. | |
Swimmer Ellie Simmonds has moved base to train at the university's | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
world`class facilities and be closer to her family ahead of the next | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
Paralympics. She's been speaking to Jessica Creighton. | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
Ellie Simmonds has never been far from the spotlight. At just 13 years | :19:19. | :19:28. | |
old, she won double Paralympic gold in ageing in 2008. When she repeated | :19:29. | :19:38. | |
the feat last year in London, it brought about fame, red carpet and | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
an OBD. 13 months on, she is aiming for a new glory. After London I | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
thought I needed a new chapter and a new challenge. I am based in the | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
Midlands, it is where my home is, in Aldrich. I wanted to move closer to | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
home because I was fed up with travelling three hours to get home. | :20:03. | :20:10. | |
Lost brother is becoming a hot spot for Britain's Paralympians. Johnny | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
Peacock moved here after his gold last summer. It is also the home of | :20:17. | :20:29. | |
British swimming so Ellie now has other swimmers as training partners. | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
Here, I train with a group of 20 or 25 able`bodied athletes. It is a lot | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
different and individual cultures are different. Steven and Billy are | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
different people with different philosophies. A new environment and | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
a changing coach could have been daunting but she is enjoying a fresh | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
challenge and still smiling. From one great champion to another. | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
It has huge viewing figures, it's hosted by a middle` aged man and a | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
lady in her 70s and it's turning us into a nation of bakers. It is of | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
course the Great British Bake Off ` the BBC programme that's captivated | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
viewers of every age. If you're a fan, you'll know that | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
Tuesday was the final. And the winner is here with us this evening | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
` Frances Quinn from Market Harborough, who wowed the judges | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
with her show`stopper wedding cake. Before we talk to her and eat her | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
cakes let's have a quick look at part of her baking journey. | :21:40. | :21:48. | |
The programme said that France's proved to be the most creative baker | :21:49. | :21:58. | |
ever to set foot in the tent. Her designs impressed everyone. But, | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
according to Paul, her flavours didn't always. But she had nailed it | :22:05. | :22:14. | |
by the final. That's fantastic. What is annoying as you were ten minutes | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
from perfection. But the perfection of her designs were even held up as | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
a benchmark for the other bakers. You have come up with something that | :22:28. | :22:36. | |
looks like Frances Quinn made it. But it was this show stopper that | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
turned out to be the making of Frances Quinn. The winner of the | :22:40. | :22:53. | |
2013 The Great British Bake Off is Frances. | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
You looked as though you were about to collapse. Watching it now, I get | :23:01. | :23:12. | |
goose bumps. You looked so pale and shattered by that time. It was the | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
longest eight we had done. Six hours. You could have done to | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
marathons in that time. It had been such a long ten weeks and to finally | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
get to the end, I think, it was just... You had to do tasks that | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
took you by surprise. The pretzels, for instance. I'm familiar with | :23:39. | :23:49. | |
eating them but... Being at the front of the tent for a | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
technical wasn't good. It was more obvious that you are trying to see | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
it was going on behind you. Was that one of the most difficult things? It | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
was one of the most tricky technicals. He said they were lovely | :24:06. | :24:16. | |
shaped rolls but not pretzels. We have got to look at what did it for | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
you. Your show stopper was... Were you pleased? I was. It was almost as | :24:25. | :24:37. | |
tall as the tree itself. It was only really the last half an hour of that | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
it came together. When we started, six hours seems like such a long | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
time but we all knew it would go quickly. You have such a fantastic | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
eye for detail and design. The biscuits you brought him today. I | :24:53. | :25:01. | |
get ideas coming in at every angle. What will you do now? I would love | :25:02. | :25:09. | |
to combine the two together and do something very different with baking | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
and design and use of these ideas. Thank you so much for coming in. | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
Congratulations. Time for the weather. | :25:22. | :25:29. | |
It has been a super day with some beautiful sunshine, thanks to some | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
high pressure which has calmed things down. Unfortunately, the | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
weather is on the move again. Low pressure coming in tomorrow means it | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
will become wet and windy. In wet start tomorrow but the rain will | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
clear for some brightness in the afternoon. Still fairly warm for the | :25:55. | :26:02. | |
time of year. It has been quite a fine end to the day. The wind is | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
starting to pick up now and the cloud will increase to the early | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
hours of the morning. Rain will arrive to the end of the night. A | :26:13. | :26:22. | |
much milder night than last night. Tomorrow morning, a Saudi start to | :26:23. | :26:39. | |
the day `` soggy. In the sunshine, it should feel quite pleasant. For | :26:40. | :26:48. | |
Saturday, it looks as though it will be the driest day of the week. A lot | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
of cloud but fairly easy. Some rain forced Saturday night. A mixture of | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
sunshine and blustery showers on Sunday. For Sunday night into | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
Monday, the potential for some stormy weather. | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
Can we try them? Of course. Goodbye. This is Malcolm, who owns Iceland. | :27:11. | :27:55. | |
He's the one that's going to present us with | :27:56. | :27:57. | |
the ten grand. When we win it. | :27:58. | :28:00. |
