light rain. It will be damp across the north and west. That's all from | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
the BBC news at This is East Midlands Today with | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Anne davies and me, Dominic Heale: Tonight ` the pressure's on in A | :00:07. | :00:36. | |
Delight of the Derby. What does McLaren think of his chief | :00:37. | :00:52. | |
executive's first year in charge. Welcome to the programme. First | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
tonight, more evidence of the huge pressures being faced by our | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
accident and emergency units. Tonight we can reveal some patients | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
are facing lengthy delays as they're handed over from ambulance crews to | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
hospital staff. Figures we've obtained reveal instances of | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
patients waiting up to four hours to be booked in. Our Health | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
Correspondent Rob Sissons reports. The latest snapshot of the pressure | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
our A unit comes under handover time. It should take no more than 15 | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
minutes to handover a patient from ambulance crews to hospital staff. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
The 12 weeks of data obtained by BBC news shows in the east midlands the | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
average wasn't far off at over 18 minutes but that masks some very | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
lengthy delays. Here's the worst at each hospital from August to | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
November At Kings Mill a four hours wait is being disputed. At | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Nottingham's Queens medical centre one patient wasited two hours 44 | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
minutes for handover to be competed, and over at the Leicester Royal | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
Infirmary a patient handover took one hour 54 mintues. There, they | :01:57. | :02:07. | |
accept they've been under strain. At the moment, because of pressures in | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
the organisation, we are having more patience and we would have liked | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
waiting to be transferred. It is completely unacceptable. The role of | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
Burnley side have too few sides. You're taking action to try and | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
mitigate against that. It'll be a very challenging and Amanda in | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
winter, occasionally patience will wait too long. And balloons trolleys | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
have been fitted with electronic tags. That'll help Clark when the | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
patient arrives in hospital and when the trolley leaves. Here there be | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
patients faster. At peak times it proves hard. The reasons why patient | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
wait too long. The volume of ambulances arrived together, | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
sometimes seven or eight Amblin 's arrive in a few minutes, we can't | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
deal with that. The Air Ambulance Service tall as they are working | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
closely with the hospitals. There is a new BBC website, way can track how | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
your hospital bills this winter, by simply typing in your postcode. | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
There are special pages on Facebook and Twitter where you can have your | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
say. Simply go to the BBC website. Next, High Speed Rail may be years | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
away, but from today our region has faster links with London. For the | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
first time trains are able to travel at a 125 miles an hour cutting | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
journey times from our cities. Not all passengers are impressed though | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
as Mike O'Sullivan reports. The 901 from Derby to London got a | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
special welcome today from the Secretary of State for Transport. It | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
is the first of the faster trains from the city, now able to travel at | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
125 miles an hour, knocking off minutes off the average journey time | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
to the capital. How impressed are passengers? Four minutes is not a | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
lot. Every little bit of speed is good I suppose. An improvement of | :04:12. | :04:24. | |
four minutes is good. Grim. It will probably make quite a big difference | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
to a lot of people. It is a result of a ?70 million investment by | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
network rail. Improvements include realigning the rails and taking out | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
a level crossings, meaning trains can reach the top speed on around 60 | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
miles of track. Here in Derby, they have cut four minutes off the | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
average journey time to London. The bus trip will be one hour 20 | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
minutes. In Nottingham, they have knocked five minutes off that time. | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
The faster trip will be one hour 31 minutes. In Leicester, just a minute | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
has been shaved off. The fastest time is one hour and five minutes. | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
With even quicker time to come through over the next five years, | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
does it make high`speed rail redundant? One of the reasons is | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
capacity, one of the reasons is the way we are seeing numbers grow. We | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
are 0 way we are seeing numbers grow. We | :05:17. | :05:17. | |
are also seeing more and more railways, people want to see more | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
freight. Time to put your foot down on a liner which previously limited | :05:26. | :05:34. | |
the driver to 110 miles an hour. Later in the programme. Who'll come | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
here ` and how many? The big questions posed by Bulgaria and | :05:39. | :05:41. | |

A man who carried out a fire bomb attack on the constituency office of | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
an East Midlands MP has been jailed for 15 months. A court heard how | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
Paul Leverseidge threw a homemade firework at the offices of the | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
Grantham and Stamford MP Nick Boles. He lived in a flat opposite. He | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
admitted a charge of having an explosive. The defence said his life | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
had fallen apart after his father died and he turned to drugs. | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
Parliamentarians are continuing with their tributes to Nelson Mandela in | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
a special session at Westminster. David Cameron and three former Prime | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
Ministers will travel to the memorial service in South Africa | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
tomorrow. As people continue to sign books of | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
condolence more details have emerged about how he will be commemorated in | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
the East Midlands. Quentin Rayner reports. | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
In Parliament Square the floral tributes grow around Nelson | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
Mandela's statue. Across the way verbal tributes flowed including | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
this from a former Foreign Secretary who met him several times. We all | :06:52. | :07:03. | |
honour him as a hero. Unlike some others who also honoured in that | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
vein, the sickly during my student years, he became also a hero of | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
peace. That is why we remember him. On Saturday a Walk of Freedom will | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
make its way from Nelson Mandela Park to Leicester Cathedral where, | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
as elsewhere, books of condolence have been opened. It was part of the | :07:24. | :07:34. | |
suffering in South Africa. I've met Nelson Mandela several times. It was | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
my duty to comment do this. Is a way to 0 | :07:44. | :07:44. | |
my duty to comment do this. Is a way to say goodbye and thank you. It is | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
a remembrance of the time I spent a year. It was a moving occasion. He | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
is the most fantastic man I've ever met. There have been many great men | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
in the centuries, but this is the only great man I've seen. I think | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
years a most inspirational man was obvious not a perfect man, but he | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
did not what many people can do. It is just to pay respect to someone he | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
was completely inspirational. A day of words for a man who rewrote | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
history. A pub landlord and his family have | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
lost everything they own after fire tore through the premises at the | :08:24. | :08:31. | |
weekend. Eddie and Amy Mulgrew lived at the Bridge Pub at Gamston in | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
Nottinghamshire but managed to escape the blaze along with | :08:35. | :08:35. | |
customers. 0 escape the blaze along with | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
customers. The brewery has promised to rehome the couple, and pledged to | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
rebuild the pub which was so badly damaged it'll have to be demolished. | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
Sarah Teale reports. This was the fire at its height on | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
Saturday afternoon. Flames engulfed the Bridge pub, a local landmark at | :08:53. | :09:01. | |
Gamston in Nottingham. Within minutes the blaze had spread | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
throughout the entire two storey pub gutting the whole building. Eight | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
fire engines were called in to keep it under control. The road had to be | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
closed because of the billowing smoke. We were on the scene for 18 | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
hours. We had one high`rise appliance and support vehicles. | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
There was quite a lot of flames coming from the roof. There was | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
smoke as well. Fortunately around 30 staff and customers were all | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
evacuated safely. This was The landlord, his wife and their family | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
managed to escape. Also a family home. But the fire has destroyed | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
what was their home just before Christmas. Everybody got out, | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
everything is fine. In terms of Eddie and Amy, they will be looked | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
after. They would like to find everyone he was acquired about | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
them. The brewery is now keen to quash rumours that the pub land will | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
be sold off for development. We're not going to be able to salvage the | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
building itself, so it will be demolished and replaced. | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
Investigations continue on what caused the fire which is believed to | :10:17. | :10:26. | |
started in the kitchen. In a few weeks time Bulgarians and | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
Romanians will gain the same rights as other European citizens to work | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
in the UK. Diplomats from Bulgaria and Romania have repeatedly stressed | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
that they are not expecting a "wave" of migration. But others have warned | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
that tens of thousands could come here every year. We'll have more in | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
a minute from our social affairs correspondent Jeremy Ball, but first | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
Simon Ward has been talking to a group of Romanians who are working | :10:49. | :10:49. | |
and studying at Derby 0 group of Romanians who are working | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
and studying at Derby University. How many of his fellow countrymen | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
will come here next year? That's a more difficult calculation. Dr. | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
Ovidiu Bagdasar, from Romania teaches mathematics at the | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
University of Derby. Some Romanians and Bulgarians already have the | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
right to work here and there's quite a list of jobs that people can do, | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
but all jobs will be open in the New Year. We're discussing the issues | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
with other Romanians at the university. What do you say to | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
people who feel they might be a lot of good look on the jobs? I think | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
that nobody should panic will stop this is my 0 | :11:31. | :11:30. | |
that nobody should panic will stop this is my first message. It takes a | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
lot of skill and a lot of confidence for that I'm sure only the people | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
with the right skill sets who can bring a contribution here will come. | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
The wages 0 bring a contribution here will come. | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
The wages are much higher here than in Romania. It is that attractive? | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
Cost of food is much higher in Romania. I don't think there will be | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
a real profit. Surely if there has been an English person and the | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
remaining person going for the same job, the remaining person got it | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
because they have more skills. It is not because it had been preferred. | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
Are you planning on to stay in the East Midlands? I would like to stay | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
near the couple more years to develop my skills even more, because | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
I think it is very different, the you learn here to the way you can | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
learn and enhance your skills and Romania. In ten years, I see myself | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
at home. Dr. Bagdasar is settled here with | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
his family for the moment at least. Next year the UK will be keeping a | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
close eye on the numbers of Romanians and Bulgarians who follow | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
him. Simon Ward. So why are these changes so | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
controversial? And what could it mean for the rest of us? Our Social | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, has been looking at the arguments. | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
There are some real concerns here, aren't there? Yes. Critics are very | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
worried about pressure on services. Things like health, housing, and | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
schools. If you're looking for a job, this means you're likely to | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
face more competition. And there's real concern about new arrivals | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
claiming benefits as well. There are urban myths around that. You can't | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
simply come here to claim the dole. But new arrivals are likely to be in | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
low paid jobs, which eventually entitles them to things like housing | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
benefit. So it's still very contentious. Is there an upside for | :13:24. | :13:34. | |
us? Well supporters think that, overall, these changes benefit | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
Britain's economy. That's because migrant workers have to pay taxes. | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
While increasing numbers of British people are retired, and drawing | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
pensions. There are a lot of these migrants who will be working in | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
places like hospitals. They also have crucial role to play. There is | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
one argument is that about that, we could all be paying more for our | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
shopping. So do we know how many Romanians and Bulgarians are likely | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
to come to Britain? We don't. But we've heard some widely varying | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
predications. At the top end, Migrationwatch thinks we'll see | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
50,000 people a year, coming from Romania and Bulgaria. They've warned | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
that numbers were much higher than expected, last time the rules were | :14:21. | :14:21. | |
relaxed. But 0 expected, last time the rules were | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
relaxed. But the government says that's because Britain was the only | :14:25. | :14:38. | |
major country to let come and work. So ministers think the numbers will | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
be much, much lower. And we'll find out in the New Year. | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
A Nottinghamshire MP has written to the Prime Minister supporting | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
campaigners opposing plans to build on land in her constituency. | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
Planners from Broxtowe Council want five hundred homes to be built at | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
Toton. A government inspector has recommended the plan should go | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
ahead. But Anna Soubry ` the MP for the area ` insists the move is | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
against government policy. She's now calling for the public inquiry to be | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
reopened so those in Toton can have their say. | :15:10. | :15:13. | |

placed outside police stations in the county this week for the knife | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
amnesty. It comes after figures show that the number of people carrying a | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
knife has increased in the past year. | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
Still to come ` a breath`taking natural display. Last night's sunset | :15:34. | :15:39. | |

Road First, the American chairman of Derby County says the last six years | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
have been much tougher than expected. | :15:49. | :16:04. | |
In an exclusive interview, Andy Appleby says Derby is now where they | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
planned to be four years ago. But he says Chief Executive Sam Rush and | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
Steve McClaren are now giving them a glimpse, promotion is possible this | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
season. On Saturday, Natalie was behind the scenes on a day to | :16:20. | :16:21. | |

executive at Derby. I serve photograph a year ago. Here's made | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
bold decisions. He sacked Nigel. He changed the name of the stadium. I | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
can come here who had an average position of 15 for five years. I had | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
to make some changes. I did it because I believe in the best | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
interest of Derby County. On Saturday, pride Park felt like a new | :16:57. | :17:08. | |
era has begin. It sure does. We have been through a lot over these last | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
six years. It does feel like a brand`new start. We are a debtor | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
gratitude to Nigel Clough for help and a steady the ship. It is not an | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
overnight success. Although it seems like it. Steve is giving us a | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
glimpse that it is possible. The results going the way they are, it | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
feels like it is our year. Here's not getting carried away, but says | :17:35. | :17:36. | |

Martin has scored 13 so by the season. He got the second after the | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
penalty. Craig Bryson added a third. And there was no way back Blackpool. | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
Martin grabbed his hat`trick. And captain got a tapping at the end to | :18:31. | :18:39. | |
make it 5`to Derby. It is three wins in seven days. The Sam Rush, it has | :18:40. | :18:47. | |

brilliant for all our teams. Every single one getting Premiership | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
opposition. Couple of tasty rematches in there too. Plenty of | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
history to Forest versus West Ham and to Mansfield's possible trip to | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
Anfield. But Derby against Chelsea is the pick. Leicester City face a | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
challenging December after suffering two defeats in a week to knock them | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
off the top spot. Their next three league games are against clubs in | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
the top six. Meanwhile Nottingham Forest recorded their first win in a | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
month. Mark Shardlow reports. Forest were close to concealing a | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
calamitous goal at Sheff Wednesday, but keeper Karl Darlow made a | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
brilliant recovery. It was an important moment as the game only | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
had one goal, this from Simon Cox, his fourth in five games to put | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
Forest back in a play`off place. A week ago, Leicester City were | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
celebrating being top of the league, but it was the Brighton fans | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
cheering at the weekend. In a poor first`half performance, City found | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
themselves two down before the half`hour mark. Nigel Pearson rang | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
the changes and city pulled themselves back into the game with | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
this header from Andy King. But Leicester had given themselves too | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
much to do. As they committed men forward, Morgan conceded a penalty | :20:25. | :20:33. | |
and Leicester lost 3`1. So Leicester are third. But what a table for our | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
clubs, with Derby fourth and Forest fifth. This coming weekend Leicester | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
are at home to table topping Burnley. In League One there was a | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
first win for Notts County manager Shaun Derry. And he had two loan | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
signings to thank. Celtic's Callum McGregor scored the first at home to | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
Gillingham. But County conceded a sloppy equaliser just after half | :20:53. | :20:56. | |

still bottom of the table, but Saturday was the most encouraging | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
result for some time and this lovely goal from Aston Villa loanee Jack | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
Grealish sent the fans home happy. Onto Rugby, because Leicester Tigers | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
produced a thrilling win against French side Montpellier. They came | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
out with a crucial Heineken Cup bonus point, beautifully setting up | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
next week's return match in France. It was all about the start for | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
Tigers, who produced a first quarter hour to remember. Right from the | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
fourth minute, when the returning Niki Goneva went over. It got even | :21:32. | :21:35. | |

aren't enough in the Heineken Cup. Bonus points are the thing. And | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
Leicester got theirs, scoring four tries halfway through the second | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
half. A great job done. But Montpellier weren't finished. They | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
came roaring back for a four`try bonus point of their own. At the end | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
they were pushing for more. Leicester can maybe count themselves | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
lucky to have finally seen off the French, and crucially held them to | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
just the one point In snooker, Leicester's Mark Selby blew his | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
chance to become World Number one but made history, and got a handsome | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
pay day at the UK Championships. On Saturday, in the semi, he completed | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
a maximum 147 break, the 100th in the history of professional snooker, | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
to earn himself ?59,000. But in yesterday's final he squandered a | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
5`1 lead and missed a routine black, to be beaten by Neil Robertson. More | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
successful for Leicester were the Riders basketball team They | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
confirmed their return to the BBL Cup final with a demolition of | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
Plymouth over the weekend. Riders are the defending Cup champions and | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
will play either Sheffield or Newcastle on January 12th in | :22:50. | :23:00. | |
Birmingham. Now, it's a well`known Christmas | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
favourite, but a nursery says it's the last one in Derbyshire to grow | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
this particular plant commercially. We're talking, of course, about | :23:07. | :23:08. | |

poinsettias. But Meynell Langley Gardens say the fuel costs involved | :23:10. | :23:12. | |

bothering to produce the plants here in the East Midlands. James Roberson | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
reports. In all their December glory, poinsettias at Meynell | :23:20. | :23:21. | |
Langley Gardens Centre, in Derbyshire. They made a spectacular | :23:22. | :23:31. | |
and mostly crimson splash. Robert Walker and his dad before him have | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
been rearing poinsettias for over 45 years, but now they are one of very | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
few growers left, and the only one in Derbyshire. It is the main reason | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
why they grow here. We can't make enough out of them. Because of the | :23:46. | :23:55. | |
fuel cost? Yes. Most of them are grown in Holland now. There are | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
perhaps only three growers left. The Walkers still produce 800 a year. We | :24:01. | :24:14. | |
are growing poinsettias this year. They have done a lot of breeding | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
