:00:00. > 3:59:59light rain. It will be damp across the north and west. That's all from

:00:00. > :00:00.the BBC news at This is East Midlands Today with

:00:07. > :00:36.Anne davies and me, Dominic Heale: Tonight ` the pressure's on in A

:00:37. > :00:52.Delight of the Derby. What does McLaren think of his chief

:00:53. > :00:55.executive's first year in charge. Welcome to the programme. First

:00:56. > :01:01.tonight, more evidence of the huge pressures being faced by our

:01:02. > :01:04.accident and emergency units. Tonight we can reveal some patients

:01:05. > :01:09.are facing lengthy delays as they're handed over from ambulance crews to

:01:10. > :01:12.hospital staff. Figures we've obtained reveal instances of

:01:13. > :01:19.patients waiting up to four hours to be booked in. Our Health

:01:20. > :01:22.Correspondent Rob Sissons reports. The latest snapshot of the pressure

:01:23. > :01:27.our A unit comes under handover time. It should take no more than 15

:01:28. > :01:32.minutes to handover a patient from ambulance crews to hospital staff.

:01:33. > :01:35.The 12 weeks of data obtained by BBC news shows in the east midlands the

:01:36. > :01:42.average wasn't far off at over 18 minutes but that masks some very

:01:43. > :01:45.lengthy delays. Here's the worst at each hospital from August to

:01:46. > :01:49.November At Kings Mill a four hours wait is being disputed. At

:01:50. > :01:53.Nottingham's Queens medical centre one patient wasited two hours 44

:01:54. > :01:56.minutes for handover to be competed, and over at the Leicester Royal

:01:57. > :02:07.Infirmary a patient handover took one hour 54 mintues. There, they

:02:08. > :02:11.accept they've been under strain. At the moment, because of pressures in

:02:12. > :02:16.the organisation, we are having more patience and we would have liked

:02:17. > :02:20.waiting to be transferred. It is completely unacceptable. The role of

:02:21. > :02:24.Burnley side have too few sides. You're taking action to try and

:02:25. > :02:27.mitigate against that. It'll be a very challenging and Amanda in

:02:28. > :02:32.winter, occasionally patience will wait too long. And balloons trolleys

:02:33. > :02:39.have been fitted with electronic tags. That'll help Clark when the

:02:40. > :02:47.patient arrives in hospital and when the trolley leaves. Here there be

:02:48. > :02:54.patients faster. At peak times it proves hard. The reasons why patient

:02:55. > :02:59.wait too long. The volume of ambulances arrived together,

:03:00. > :03:03.sometimes seven or eight Amblin 's arrive in a few minutes, we can't

:03:04. > :03:08.deal with that. The Air Ambulance Service tall as they are working

:03:09. > :03:13.closely with the hospitals. There is a new BBC website, way can track how

:03:14. > :03:17.your hospital bills this winter, by simply typing in your postcode.

:03:18. > :03:25.There are special pages on Facebook and Twitter where you can have your

:03:26. > :03:29.say. Simply go to the BBC website. Next, High Speed Rail may be years

:03:30. > :03:36.away, but from today our region has faster links with London. For the

:03:37. > :03:39.first time trains are able to travel at a 125 miles an hour cutting

:03:40. > :03:45.journey times from our cities. Not all passengers are impressed though

:03:46. > :03:49.as Mike O'Sullivan reports. The 901 from Derby to London got a

:03:50. > :03:54.special welcome today from the Secretary of State for Transport. It

:03:55. > :03:58.is the first of the faster trains from the city, now able to travel at

:03:59. > :04:04.125 miles an hour, knocking off minutes off the average journey time

:04:05. > :04:11.to the capital. How impressed are passengers? Four minutes is not a

:04:12. > :04:24.lot. Every little bit of speed is good I suppose. An improvement of

:04:25. > :04:29.four minutes is good. Grim. It will probably make quite a big difference

:04:30. > :04:31.to a lot of people. It is a result of a ?70 million investment by

:04:32. > :04:34.network rail. Improvements include realigning the rails and taking out

:04:35. > :04:41.a level crossings, meaning trains can reach the top speed on around 60

:04:42. > :04:46.miles of track. Here in Derby, they have cut four minutes off the

:04:47. > :04:50.average journey time to London. The bus trip will be one hour 20

:04:51. > :04:53.minutes. In Nottingham, they have knocked five minutes off that time.

:04:54. > :04:57.The faster trip will be one hour 31 minutes. In Leicester, just a minute

:04:58. > :05:01.has been shaved off. The fastest time is one hour and five minutes.

:05:02. > :05:04.With even quicker time to come through over the next five years,

:05:05. > :05:12.does it make high`speed rail redundant? One of the reasons is

:05:13. > :05:16.capacity, one of the reasons is the way we are seeing numbers grow. We

:05:17. > :05:17.are 0 way we are seeing numbers grow. We

:05:18. > :05:25.are also seeing more and more railways, people want to see more

:05:26. > :05:34.freight. Time to put your foot down on a liner which previously limited

:05:35. > :05:38.the driver to 110 miles an hour. Later in the programme. Who'll come

:05:39. > :05:41.here ` and how many? The big questions posed by Bulgaria and

:05:42. > :05:43.Romania. Plus: In full bloom. 0

:05:44. > :05:46.Romania. Plus: In full bloom. One of the last

:05:47. > :05:56.garden centres in Derbyshire selling these Christmas plants.

:05:57. > :05:59.A man who carried out a fire bomb attack on the constituency office of

:06:00. > :06:03.an East Midlands MP has been jailed for 15 months. A court heard how

:06:04. > :06:09.Paul Leverseidge threw a homemade firework at the offices of the

:06:10. > :06:12.Grantham and Stamford MP Nick Boles. He lived in a flat opposite. He

:06:13. > :06:16.admitted a charge of having an explosive. The defence said his life

:06:17. > :06:21.had fallen apart after his father died and he turned to drugs.

:06:22. > :06:25.Parliamentarians are continuing with their tributes to Nelson Mandela in

:06:26. > :06:28.a special session at Westminster. David Cameron and three former Prime

:06:29. > :06:32.Ministers will travel to the memorial service in South Africa

:06:33. > :06:35.tomorrow. As people continue to sign books of

:06:36. > :06:40.condolence more details have emerged about how he will be commemorated in

:06:41. > :06:44.the East Midlands. Quentin Rayner reports.

:06:45. > :06:48.In Parliament Square the floral tributes grow around Nelson

:06:49. > :06:51.Mandela's statue. Across the way verbal tributes flowed including

:06:52. > :07:03.this from a former Foreign Secretary who met him several times. We all

:07:04. > :07:09.honour him as a hero. Unlike some others who also honoured in that

:07:10. > :07:17.vein, the sickly during my student years, he became also a hero of

:07:18. > :07:21.peace. That is why we remember him. On Saturday a Walk of Freedom will

:07:22. > :07:23.make its way from Nelson Mandela Park to Leicester Cathedral where,

:07:24. > :07:34.as elsewhere, books of condolence have been opened. It was part of the

:07:35. > :07:43.suffering in South Africa. I've met Nelson Mandela several times. It was

:07:44. > :07:44.my duty to comment do this. Is a way to 0

:07:45. > :07:50.my duty to comment do this. Is a way to say goodbye and thank you. It is

:07:51. > :07:55.a remembrance of the time I spent a year. It was a moving occasion. He

:07:56. > :08:01.is the most fantastic man I've ever met. There have been many great men

:08:02. > :08:07.in the centuries, but this is the only great man I've seen. I think

:08:08. > :08:13.years a most inspirational man was obvious not a perfect man, but he

:08:14. > :08:17.did not what many people can do. It is just to pay respect to someone he

:08:18. > :08:19.was completely inspirational. A day of words for a man who rewrote

:08:20. > :08:23.history. A pub landlord and his family have

:08:24. > :08:31.lost everything they own after fire tore through the premises at the

:08:32. > :08:34.weekend. Eddie and Amy Mulgrew lived at the Bridge Pub at Gamston in

:08:35. > :08:35.Nottinghamshire but managed to escape the blaze along with

:08:36. > :08:38.customers. 0 escape the blaze along with

:08:39. > :08:42.customers. The brewery has promised to rehome the couple, and pledged to

:08:43. > :08:48.rebuild the pub which was so badly damaged it'll have to be demolished.

:08:49. > :08:52.Sarah Teale reports. This was the fire at its height on

:08:53. > :09:01.Saturday afternoon. Flames engulfed the Bridge pub, a local landmark at

:09:02. > :09:04.Gamston in Nottingham. Within minutes the blaze had spread

:09:05. > :09:11.throughout the entire two storey pub gutting the whole building. Eight

:09:12. > :09:15.fire engines were called in to keep it under control. The road had to be

:09:16. > :09:21.closed because of the billowing smoke. We were on the scene for 18

:09:22. > :09:25.hours. We had one high`rise appliance and support vehicles.

:09:26. > :09:29.There was quite a lot of flames coming from the roof. There was

:09:30. > :09:37.smoke as well. Fortunately around 30 staff and customers were all

:09:38. > :09:40.evacuated safely. This was The landlord, his wife and their family

:09:41. > :09:44.managed to escape. Also a family home. But the fire has destroyed

:09:45. > :09:51.what was their home just before Christmas. Everybody got out,

:09:52. > :09:55.everything is fine. In terms of Eddie and Amy, they will be looked

:09:56. > :10:00.after. They would like to find everyone he was acquired about

:10:01. > :10:06.them. The brewery is now keen to quash rumours that the pub land will

:10:07. > :10:10.be sold off for development. We're not going to be able to salvage the

:10:11. > :10:16.building itself, so it will be demolished and replaced.

:10:17. > :10:26.Investigations continue on what caused the fire which is believed to

:10:27. > :10:29.started in the kitchen. In a few weeks time Bulgarians and

:10:30. > :10:33.Romanians will gain the same rights as other European citizens to work

:10:34. > :10:36.in the UK. Diplomats from Bulgaria and Romania have repeatedly stressed

:10:37. > :10:40.that they are not expecting a "wave" of migration. But others have warned

:10:41. > :10:44.that tens of thousands could come here every year. We'll have more in

:10:45. > :10:48.a minute from our social affairs correspondent Jeremy Ball, but first

:10:49. > :10:49.Simon Ward has been talking to a group of Romanians who are working

:10:50. > :10:57.and studying at Derby 0 group of Romanians who are working

:10:58. > :11:01.and studying at Derby University. How many of his fellow countrymen

:11:02. > :11:04.will come here next year? That's a more difficult calculation. Dr.

:11:05. > :11:06.Ovidiu Bagdasar, from Romania teaches mathematics at the

:11:07. > :11:10.University of Derby. Some Romanians and Bulgarians already have the

:11:11. > :11:14.right to work here and there's quite a list of jobs that people can do,

:11:15. > :11:17.but all jobs will be open in the New Year. We're discussing the issues

:11:18. > :11:24.with other Romanians at the university. What do you say to

:11:25. > :11:30.people who feel they might be a lot of good look on the jobs? I think

:11:31. > :11:30.that nobody should panic will stop this is my 0

:11:31. > :11:37.that nobody should panic will stop this is my first message. It takes a

:11:38. > :11:41.lot of skill and a lot of confidence for that I'm sure only the people

:11:42. > :11:44.with the right skill sets who can bring a contribution here will come.

:11:45. > :11:47.The wages 0 bring a contribution here will come.

:11:48. > :11:52.The wages are much higher here than in Romania. It is that attractive?

:11:53. > :11:59.Cost of food is much higher in Romania. I don't think there will be

:12:00. > :12:03.a real profit. Surely if there has been an English person and the

:12:04. > :12:07.remaining person going for the same job, the remaining person got it

:12:08. > :12:12.because they have more skills. It is not because it had been preferred.

:12:13. > :12:19.Are you planning on to stay in the East Midlands? I would like to stay

:12:20. > :12:22.near the couple more years to develop my skills even more, because

:12:23. > :12:27.I think it is very different, the you learn here to the way you can

:12:28. > :12:34.learn and enhance your skills and Romania. In ten years, I see myself

:12:35. > :12:38.at home. Dr. Bagdasar is settled here with

:12:39. > :12:42.his family for the moment at least. Next year the UK will be keeping a

:12:43. > :12:45.close eye on the numbers of Romanians and Bulgarians who follow

:12:46. > :12:49.him. Simon Ward. So why are these changes so

:12:50. > :12:52.controversial? And what could it mean for the rest of us? Our Social

:12:53. > :12:56.Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, has been looking at the arguments.

:12:57. > :13:01.There are some real concerns here, aren't there? Yes. Critics are very

:13:02. > :13:05.worried about pressure on services. Things like health, housing, and

:13:06. > :13:09.schools. If you're looking for a job, this means you're likely to

:13:10. > :13:12.face more competition. And there's real concern about new arrivals

:13:13. > :13:17.claiming benefits as well. There are urban myths around that. You can't

:13:18. > :13:20.simply come here to claim the dole. But new arrivals are likely to be in

:13:21. > :13:23.low paid jobs, which eventually entitles them to things like housing

:13:24. > :13:34.benefit. So it's still very contentious. Is there an upside for

:13:35. > :13:37.us? Well supporters think that, overall, these changes benefit

:13:38. > :13:43.Britain's economy. That's because migrant workers have to pay taxes.

:13:44. > :13:51.While increasing numbers of British people are retired, and drawing

:13:52. > :13:56.pensions. There are a lot of these migrants who will be working in

:13:57. > :14:02.places like hospitals. They also have crucial role to play. There is

:14:03. > :14:08.one argument is that about that, we could all be paying more for our

:14:09. > :14:11.shopping. So do we know how many Romanians and Bulgarians are likely

:14:12. > :14:14.to come to Britain? We don't. But we've heard some widely varying

:14:15. > :14:16.predications. At the top end, Migrationwatch thinks we'll see

:14:17. > :14:20.50,000 people a year, coming from Romania and Bulgaria. They've warned

:14:21. > :14:21.that numbers were much higher than expected, last time the rules were

:14:22. > :14:24.relaxed. But 0 expected, last time the rules were

:14:25. > :14:38.relaxed. But the government says that's because Britain was the only

:14:39. > :14:41.major country to let come and work. So ministers think the numbers will

:14:42. > :14:46.be much, much lower. And we'll find out in the New Year.

:14:47. > :14:49.A Nottinghamshire MP has written to the Prime Minister supporting

:14:50. > :14:52.campaigners opposing plans to build on land in her constituency.

:14:53. > :14:57.Planners from Broxtowe Council want five hundred homes to be built at

:14:58. > :15:02.Toton. A government inspector has recommended the plan should go

:15:03. > :15:05.ahead. But Anna Soubry ` the MP for the area ` insists the move is

:15:06. > :15:09.against government policy. She's now calling for the public inquiry to be

:15:10. > :15:13.reopened so those in Toton can have their say.

:15:14. > :15:15.People in Nottinghamshire are being encouraged to get rid of their

:15:16. > :15:17.knives as part of a 0 encouraged to get rid of their

:15:18. > :15:20.knives as part of a police campaign. 17 sealed wheelie bins are being

:15:25. > :15:28.amnesty. It comes after figures show that the number of people carrying a

:15:49. > :16:04.have been much tougher than expected.

:16:05. > :16:11.In an exclusive interview, Andy Appleby says Derby is now where they

:16:12. > :16:14.planned to be four years ago. But he says Chief Executive Sam Rush and

:16:15. > :16:19.Steve McClaren are now giving them a glimpse, promotion is possible this

:16:42. > :16:48.bold decisions. He sacked Nigel. He changed the name of the stadium. I

:16:49. > :16:53.can come here who had an average position of 15 for five years. I had

:16:54. > :16:56.to make some changes. I did it because I believe in the best

:16:57. > :17:08.interest of Derby County. On Saturday, pride Park felt like a new

:17:09. > :17:13.era has begin. It sure does. We have been through a lot over these last

:17:14. > :17:17.six years. It does feel like a brand`new start. We are a debtor

:17:18. > :17:23.gratitude to Nigel Clough for help and a steady the ship. It is not an

:17:24. > :17:27.overnight success. Although it seems like it. Steve is giving us a

:17:28. > :17:34.glimpse that it is possible. The results going the way they are, it

:17:35. > :17:36.feels like it is our year. Here's not getting carried away, but says

:18:23. > :18:30.penalty. Craig Bryson added a third. And there was no way back Blackpool.

:18:31. > :18:39.Martin grabbed his hat`trick. And captain got a tapping at the end to

:18:40. > :18:47.make it 5`to Derby. It is three wins in seven days. The Sam Rush, it has

:19:11. > :19:14.long continue. `` may. And, as if the weekend could have possibly got

:19:15. > :19:17.better for Derby, the FA Cup draw was great too. In fact, it was

:19:18. > :19:20.brilliant for all our teams. Every single one getting Premiership

:19:21. > :19:23.opposition. Couple of tasty rematches in there too. Plenty of

:19:24. > :19:26.history to Forest versus West Ham and to Mansfield's possible trip to

:19:27. > :19:31.Anfield. But Derby against Chelsea is the pick. Leicester City face a

:19:32. > :19:35.challenging December after suffering two defeats in a week to knock them

:19:36. > :19:39.off the top spot. Their next three league games are against clubs in

:19:40. > :19:45.the top six. Meanwhile Nottingham Forest recorded their first win in a

:19:46. > :19:48.month. Mark Shardlow reports. Forest were close to concealing a

:19:49. > :19:52.calamitous goal at Sheff Wednesday, but keeper Karl Darlow made a

:19:53. > :19:56.brilliant recovery. It was an important moment as the game only

:19:57. > :20:01.had one goal, this from Simon Cox, his fourth in five games to put

:20:02. > :20:04.Forest back in a play`off place. A week ago, Leicester City were

:20:05. > :20:08.celebrating being top of the league, but it was the Brighton fans

:20:09. > :20:11.cheering at the weekend. In a poor first`half performance, City found

:20:12. > :20:16.themselves two down before the half`hour mark. Nigel Pearson rang

:20:17. > :20:20.the changes and city pulled themselves back into the game with

:20:21. > :20:24.this header from Andy King. But Leicester had given themselves too

:20:25. > :20:33.much to do. As they committed men forward, Morgan conceded a penalty

:20:34. > :20:37.and Leicester lost 3`1. So Leicester are third. But what a table for our

:20:38. > :20:40.clubs, with Derby fourth and Forest fifth. This coming weekend Leicester

:20:41. > :20:45.are at home to table topping Burnley. In League One there was a

:20:46. > :20:48.first win for Notts County manager Shaun Derry. And he had two loan

:20:49. > :20:52.signings to thank. Celtic's Callum McGregor scored the first at home to

:21:26. > :21:28.next week's return match in France. It was all about the start for

:22:13. > :22:19.chance to become World Number one but made history, and got a handsome

:22:20. > :22:22.pay day at the UK Championships. On Saturday, in the semi, he completed

:22:23. > :22:28.a maximum 147 break, the 100th in the history of professional snooker,

:22:29. > :22:32.to earn himself ?59,000. But in yesterday's final he squandered a

:22:33. > :22:37.5`1 lead and missed a routine black, to be beaten by Neil Robertson. More

:23:40. > :23:45.few growers left, and the only one in Derbyshire. It is the main reason

:23:46. > :23:55.why they grow here. We can't make enough out of them. Because of the

:23:56. > :24:00.fuel cost? Yes. Most of them are grown in Holland now. There are

:24:01. > :24:14.perhaps only three growers left. The Walkers still produce 800 a year. We
