This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies and me, Dominic Heale. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Tonight ` a teenager says he wrote about committing a school massacre | :00:08. | :00:17. | |
as a response to bullying. The 17`year`old is accused of planning | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
bomb and gun attacks in Loughborough. Targeting drug | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
dealers, Leicester's crime commission believes Operation Tiger | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
will make a difference. It makes a big difference. We are putting a lot | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
of effort into this. Security is tight here as planners meet to make | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
the final decision on whether two traveller sites should go ahead. | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
Plus imagine making a living out of chocolate. We need an award`winning | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
chocolatier from a tiny village in Leicestershire. | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
Welcome to Wednesday's programme. First tonight, a Loughborough | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
teenager's told a terror trial that he wrote about committing a school | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
massacre because it helped him cope with bullying. The 17`year`old said | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
he was influenced by notorious killers who'd been victims of | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
bullies. But he said he didn't intend to act on the plans. Our | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
social affairs correspondent, Jeremy Ball, is at the Old Bailey. What did | :01:25. | :01:37. | |
you hear about his time at school? He said he had been upset by months | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
of name`calling, he had been called a Nazi, fascist and racist and that | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
is what prompted that document which he called plans and tactics for the | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
new Columbine. He was asked why he wrote it? | :01:56. | :02:12. | |
What did he say about the other potential targets he had named? We | :02:13. | :02:22. | |
heard it was partly motivated by ideology. He had written about what | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
he called the Islamic invasion of Europe and that is white | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Loughborough mask was at the top of the list of targets. He said he felt | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
intimidated when walking past it. He had a hit list of personal targets | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
and that they included two of the friends he had been testing those | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
bombs with. He said he had chose them because they had fallen out. He | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
said this was not a genuine plan, it simply was not real. He also spoke | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
about his interest in mass killings. We had to surely about a book he | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
bought in a market in Loughborough. It is called spree killers and the | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
teenager said it influenced what he did, what he wrote and what he wore | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
because he related to the way some of those killers had been bullied. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
He insisted he would never do it himself and did not agree with what | :03:23. | :03:33. | |
he had done. A major crackdown on drug dealing | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
and anti social behaviour has started across Leicester, | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
Leicestershire and Rutland. It's the biggest operation to take place | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
since the Police and Crime Commissioner took office one year | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
ago. Three days into Operation Tiger, 28 people have already been | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
arrested as Eleanor Garnier reports. It is 6:45am. Highfield in Leicester | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
and a police raid the home of a suspected drug dealer. One of nine | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
warrants being carried out today as part of the new Operation Tiger. | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
These early morning raids of what the police and crime Commissioner | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
wants to see more Rolph, reassuring the community that the police are | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
tackling anti`social behaviour and arresting drug dealers. And this is | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
what the officers came out of the house with. If we have the | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
intelligence to suggest there are drugs inside the address, if we were | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
to door knock, we would lose that amount of evidence. It is very hard | :04:34. | :04:44. | |
then to claw that back. This intense police activity will last if few | :04:45. | :04:56. | |
weeks. This morning, the police and crime Commissioner was here to see | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
it all himself. Will this make a difference? Absolutely, it makes a | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
big difference. We are putting a lot of effort into this. You cannot | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
sustain this because there will be over time, a lot of people diverted | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
from other jobs but it is a thoroughly good thing to do to get | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
out there for a period and make a big difference. It is all costing | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
the force more but as long as they are putting criminals behind bars | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
and protecting communities, the police say it is money well spent. | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
Cancer experts in Nottingham have discovered a new way to diagnose and | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
treat breast cancer. Researchers have identified seven distinct types | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
of breast cancer and it's hoped, in the future, it'll mean treatment can | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
be better targeted. Further studies are still being carried out, but | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
it's likely these tests could be available in hospitals within two | :05:50. | :06:01. | |
years. We can target specific treatment to those classes of breast | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
cancer, whereas before they would be a one size fits all strategy whereas | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
now you can give a much more personalised plan of treatments. | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
Road works which caused major disruption on a main route into | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
Nottingham have finished early. The tram works on the A52 at Bardills | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
Island had been due to last for two weeks, finishing on Sunday. It meant | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
there was no access from the motorway and all approaches to the | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
roundabout were reduced to one lane. But they all reopened this morning. | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
Officials say last week's good weather meant the work was completed | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
ahead of schedule. Still to come: Derbyshire police | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
face more scrutiny over the killing of a pregnant mother and her young | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
son. In a Commons debate tonight, an MP will claim that officers failed | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
to warn Rachael Slack about the danger she faced from an ex`partner. | :06:46. | :06:59. | |
Thousands of people have signed petitions opposing them, but | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
decisions are expected shortly on whether to allow two new official | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
gypsy and traveller sites in Leicester. Protestors are voicing | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
their fears at a special city council meeting this evening where | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
the plans are being discussed. Jo Healey's there for us now. Jo, | :07:13. | :07:24. | |
what's the latest? To give you some idea of the strength of feeling over | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
this, the venue for tonight 's meeting has been moved from | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
Leicester's town hall to a larger centre in Highfields. The police and | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
extra security guards have seen `` been drafted in here to keep order. | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
Here is what is provoking all that thanks to. Let's take a look at what | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
the sites are. The City Council wants to put six pictures at | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
Greengate Lane. The other is at Redhill Way. Feelings are mixed. | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
Burglaries, rubbish, they are just not civilised. A lot of people have | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
a bad opinion on them and not all of them make a mess or litter and | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
stuff, so they can't all be judged for that. We have some really nice | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
ladies that come in. This is one of the two areas they want to develop, | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
but here the travellers are not keen. The family that lives here has | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
done so for five years and Powell read they do not want it to be | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
developed because it means are the families would live here and they | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
would pay more rent. Someone has sprayed here something offensive to | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
the community. They are race of people and they are a community | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
alongside all the different communities we have in Leicester. No | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
how much do they need these pictures? They desperately need them | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
because they have nowhere legally to stay and they want to be classed as | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
a community. This has been a problem for some years and residents have | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
been pressing the council to come up with a solution. The problem we feel | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
is this is not the best solution and it is more of a political decision | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
that a planning decision. That all`important planning decision is | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
due at some tonight. The number of people filing for | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
bankruptcy in Nottinghamshire has gone up 37 per cent in the past | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
decade. The Citizens Advice Bureau in Nottingham says it sees people | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
every day who are on the verge of financial collapse. Across | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
Nottinghamshire 625 people filed for bankruptcy last year. | :09:59. | :10:09. | |
Nottingham's Jake Bugg will find out tonight if he's won this year's | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
Mercury Music Prize. The singer and guitarist from Clifton is one of a | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
dozen artists short listed for the prestigious award. Jake's new album | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
was recorded in America and is released on the 18th of November. In | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
February he'll be performing in Nottingham ` part of a UK tour. | :10:23. | :10:31. | |
An MP is to claim in a Commons debate later tonight that failings | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
by Derbyshire police contributed to the stabbing of a pregnant mother | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
and her child. The Amber Valley MP Nigel Mills says the police failed | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
to warn Rachael Slack of the dangers she faced once her ex`partner was | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
released on police bail. Let's find out more from Westminster, and our | :10:47. | :10:59. | |
Political Editor John Hess. At the heart of tonight's | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
parliamentary debate is whether the police have enough powers and | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
whether they react effectively enough when someone with a history | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
of mental illness breaches their police bail conditions. That had | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
tragic repercussions in this cottage in the village of Holbrook three | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
years ago. Rachael Slack, who was pregnant, and her son, who was | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
almost two, were killed by her former partner. Andrew Cairns was on | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
police bail with a condition not to contact Rachael. It was revealed at | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
an inquest hearing that she had warned Derbyshire police her | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
concerns about her former partner and his mental health. | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
With me is the Amber Valley MP Nigel Mills, who's secured tonight's | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
special parliamentary debate. You get the chance to question a Home | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
Office minister about this tragic case, what's the main cause for | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
concern for you? The main concern is that a young woman with a child were | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
murdered by her former partner despite the police knowing of that, | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
despite him having a mental health issue. It links to be a terrible | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
failure of various agencies. But this is more about the failings of | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
Derbyshire police and their procedure. The inquest found against | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
Derbyshire police that they had contributed in some way to this | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
tragic event. The question here is how the police interact with other | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
agencies and perhaps some stronger action could have been taken. The | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
coroner at the inquest said an incident like this must not happen | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
again, so what is needed to ensure that? We can look at tightening the | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
laws so the police can have more powers if someone breaches their | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
police bail, but the key thing the police working with the mental | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
health team to know the full facts to make a fully informed of risk | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
assessment to protect people? A Home Office minister will respond | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
to Nigel Mills' debate tonight. That will be an indication whether the | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
Government believes this tragic case requires changes in police bail | :13:19. | :13:36. | |
procedures, or not. The rising cost of energy is the | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
biggest story for politicians today and this afternoon, David Cameron | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
and Ed Miliband clashed on the subject during prime minister's | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
questions. The heated exchange between the party leaders comes as | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
the University of Nottingham completed its latest eco`house. It's | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
one of seven properties which could improve energy efficiency and bring | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
down our fuel bills. Carol Hinds reports. | :13:59. | :14:07. | |
This is green close at the University of Nottingham. It has | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
taken 13 years to design and build seven homes with a range of | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
energy`saving measures, like this still frame house. It does not have | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
stone or brick work to leak heat. You no we should be using the sun to | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
heat our water, generate electricity. There is lots of south | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
facing blazing bring that heat into the home. All of this is freely | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
available for us. Today during Prime Minister 's questions, the political | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
heat over energy is rising. How will the report how people pay their | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
bills? We want a competition enquiry that stars straightaway. As the | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
debate rages on, researchers at the University are already monitoring | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
alternative ways of heating our homes. With the house we have here, | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
it is one of the first zero carbon homes and in order to do that we | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
needed to move away from gas central heating. This is a biomass boiler | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
using woodchip pellets as fuel. One of the best ways of making a home | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
energy efficient is to inflate. It is the teller knowledge you cannot | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
see which is the most important. `` technology. Coming up with good | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
solutions. Better insulation and greater use of solar and wind power | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
are among the energy solutions of the future. | :15:43. | :15:54. | |
Still to come tonight: rich, smooth and award`winning. Not Dom but one | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
family's latest venture ` local chocolates for local shops. I would | :15:59. | :16:25. | |
love a bit of chocolate now! Time for the support. | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
First, what a night for Leicester City last night. They're through to | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
the quarterfinals of the Capital One Cup after beating Premier League | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
Fulham in a seven goal thriller. Kirsty Edwards reports. | :16:36. | :16:44. | |
There is no rest for these players. They were back on the training | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
ground today. A more strenuous work`out. All of them buzzing about | :16:51. | :16:59. | |
a fantastic performance last night. Fulham had made a number of changes | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
to their team but so had Leicester and when they fell behind in the | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
18th minute, heads certainly did not drop. As half`time approached, the | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
foxes took control. So too `1 up at the break and early | :17:12. | :17:28. | |
in the second half they were further in front. Back came for 11 just a | :17:29. | :17:37. | |
minute later, they reduced the deficit. And there were just three | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
minutes to go, the game looked going into extra time. Leicester had other | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
ideas. Their raise a to get the nurse | :17:48. | :18:02. | |
within the group this year `` togetherness which we possibly did | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
not have at the same level before. We deserve to win but a good game of | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
football. An important for us in the centre we maintain what has been a | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
good start to the season. Leicester will find out who they face in the | :18:17. | :18:30. | |
quarterfinals later tonight. Forward Paul Gallagher has joined Preston on | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
loan until January. Onto Notts County who say they have | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
narrowed the search down for a new manager to three of four candidates. | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
Chris Kiwomya was sacked at the weekend. Last night, under caretaker | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
boss Steve Hodge, they earned a long`awaited League One victory at | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
home to Oldham. Jessica Creighton was there. | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
The manager gone and bottom of the league, so who do the fans want to | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
see in charge? I heard Danny Wilson might be the best of a bad bunch. I | :19:04. | :19:11. | |
am hoping Danny Wilson. Danny Wilson is top of the list and he is also a | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
favourite with the bookies. Second favourite is Steve Hodge and Brian | :19:19. | :19:27. | |
Kerr. It is their first game since Chris Kiwomya left, and a chance to | :19:28. | :19:36. | |
prove themselves. A great start from Notts. On the stroke of half`time, | :19:37. | :19:46. | |
Notts were an done at the back and Oldham pulled level but the home | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
side did not panic and after 15 minutes, they regained the lead. Top | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
scorer Cal mag Notts held on for their third win in | :19:55. | :20:17. | |
14 games. Tonight we had a bit more and we were not lucky, we deserved | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
it over all but it was hard in the end. | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
Cricket and Nottinghamshire's Chris Read has signed a new two year | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
contract. He's announced he's giving up the one day captaincy though, but | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
will carry on leading the side in the County Championship. | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
Now he has been knighted, revolutionised British cycling and | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
masterminded two Tour de France triumphs, but today Sir David | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
Brailsford came back home and for a special reason. Dave, who was born | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
in Derby, was here to see the new Velodrome which is being built just | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
behind Pride Park. Dave is Britain's cycling performance director. | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
Tomorrow on the programme we'll have a cycling special as Sir Dave sees | :20:55. | :21:06. | |
inside for the very first time. It was really exciting, so looking | :21:07. | :21:15. | |
forward to that tomorrow. To my mind, there are few things | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
better in life than chocolate, so you don't get much better than the | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
next part in our series on fine foods. The art of the chocolatier is | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
not a simple one. To make the perfect chocolate takes time and | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
experience. And to actually source the cocoa bean too takes real | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
commitment. But tucked away in a small Leicestershire village is a | :21:38. | :21:55. | |
couple who've done just that. Here we are. This is a typically | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
English cottage in a beautiful Leicestershire village but inside it | :22:01. | :22:10. | |
is a chocolate Emporium. And it is in this call, purpose`built workshop | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
that Jerome makes his chocolate. It is quite a family affair. This is | :22:18. | :22:25. | |
Jerome's Malm and his wife is in charge of marketing. We print | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
everything, cut everything, glue everything so it is all done | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
in`house. This personal touch is reflected in the markets they sell | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
to. They are not interested in big contracts with huge retailers. To | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
them, local is where it is at. The furthest we sell is 40 miles away | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
but generally speaking they are within 7`8 miles away. To keep the | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
whole process as close as they could come at the couple set off for Costa | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
Rica. We wanted to go to the very basics of chocolate and learn all | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
about it from the people who farm, the process it goes through, which | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
is extremely long, so we know what it has gone through when it has come | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
to us. What they really want is to source the beans from this | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
plantation and make the chocolate over here. For now, they are | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
concentrating on the chocolate in hand but how did this start? I love | :23:33. | :23:40. | |
chocolate so I wanted to go on a course and Jerome agreed to go with | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
me and it all started from there. With two golds from the great taste | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
awards, they are hoping the sweet taste of success will continue for | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
some time to come. Is there really a huge difference | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
between really posh chocolate like that and the other stuff? There | :24:00. | :24:09. | |
really is. It is all about the purity. | :24:10. | :24:21. | |
Food for thought, it has been a beautiful day today, some autumn | :24:22. | :24:30. | |
sunshine. But once again, that weather is on the move. It is not | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
sticking in one place for too long. A little ridge of high pressure gave | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
us sunny weather today but all changing once again. We have seen | :24:41. | :24:49. | |
the cloud increasing, the winds picking up and a few splodges of | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
rain. The rain will move eastwards and it will clear out of the way by | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
around midnight. Behind that, the skies were clear and we will see the | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
wind is starting to ease so there will be missed and fog forming | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
during the early hours of tomorrow. Lows of around seven or eight | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
Celsius. Tomorrow morning will start off murky. The mist and fog will | :25:16. | :25:23. | |
clear fairly quickly. Dry and bright weather through the morning but the | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
showers will pack into the afternoon. If you get a shower, they | :25:27. | :25:34. | |
will be on the heavy side. Temperatures of 11 or 12 degrees. | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
There will be some showers lurking around tomorrow evening. They will | :25:40. | :25:48. | |
fade away and then it is back to the drawing board. Another West `` | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
weather system pushing out from the south. A wet day on Friday. Into the | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
weekend, Saturday at the moment looks like being dry. Wet and windy | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
on Saturday evening and showers by Sunday. But today was lovely. | :26:08. | :26:19. | |
Absolutely beautiful. Late news at 10:30pm. Goodbye. | :26:20. | :26:39. | |
Everyday normal things that everybody does is where I use my energy. | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
I haven't got an extravagant lifestyle, | :26:44. | :26:45. | |
I've not got a hot tub outside or something like that. | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
In essence, it is a choice between heating or eating. | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
We will still eat and we will still have heating | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
It's just maybe the quality of the food that we eat | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
may not be as good as what we're eating at the moment. | :26:59. | :27:02. |
