Inspectors dish the dirt on failing GP surgeries. This small part this

:00:14.:00:20.

has been at the centre of the national attention all day after

:00:21.:00:27.

maggots were discovered there. A retrial in the spring for a

:00:28.:00:30.

Loughborough teenager accused of terrorism offences.

:00:31.:00:36.

Plus, councillors here will decide tonight the fate of a much loved

:00:37.:00:40.

area of Nottingham which has been at the heart of a controversial

:00:41.:00:45.

development plan for years. How these wacky winter warmers are

:00:46.:00:50.

putting Leicester back on the Mac as the home of many fat drink `` on the

:00:51.:01:05.

map as the home of manufacturing. Good evening and welcome to the

:01:06.:01:08.

programme. First tonight, dirty rooms, maggots, cobwebs and sticky

:01:09.:01:12.

surfaces. Hardly a clean bill of health for a GP surgery.

:01:13.:01:15.

And the problems don't stop there. At other practices in the East

:01:16.:01:18.

Midlands, spot checks by the Care Quality Commission uncovered drug

:01:19.:01:21.

errors and failures in the way sensitive, personal information is

:01:22.:01:25.

protected. Our health correspondent Rob Sissons reports.

:01:26.:01:32.

This small local practice has been at the centre of the national

:01:33.:01:37.

attention all day after maggots were discovered there by inspectors. Most

:01:38.:01:42.

patients did not seem all that worried today. The surgery insists

:01:43.:01:49.

they have cleaned up their racks following October's inspection.

:01:50.:01:52.

Dirt, maggots, it is not what you expect down the doctors. Not nice. I

:01:53.:02:00.

might go back to my old surgery. It seems pretty clean to me. I have

:02:01.:02:08.

been coming here for ten, 15 years. It has always been clean. I come

:02:09.:02:13.

here to collect and order prescriptions and it seems

:02:14.:02:19.

marvellous. In Leicestershire, out of 900 inspected across England,

:02:20.:02:22.

this surgery is one of ten where problems were so serious enforcement

:02:23.:02:28.

actions were taken. This surgery was not doing enough to protect

:02:29.:02:34.

vulnerable people from abuse. Another East Midlands surgery is

:02:35.:02:38.

also on the list of ten. Mistakes were found in the supply of

:02:39.:02:42.

medicines. For the doctor leading the new GP inspection regime, it is

:02:43.:02:46.

all about the patient getting more information. One of the problems

:02:47.:02:53.

this patients do not know what a bad or dangerous surgery years. One of

:02:54.:02:58.

the things we are going to do is learn from the inspections and start

:02:59.:03:04.

rating surgeries. The criticised actresses say they have put things

:03:05.:03:08.

right. The maggots have gone but people lost all talking about it. ``

:03:09.:03:15.

people are still talking about it. Earlier, I spoke to Jill Matthews of

:03:16.:03:18.

NHS England. She concedes that examples of dirty surgeries will

:03:19.:03:21.

grab the headlines, but such cases are extremely rare. The vast

:03:22.:03:29.

majority of our GP practices are they really high standard. We have

:03:30.:03:35.

over 800 in the East Midlands. The vast majority are providing

:03:36.:03:38.

excellent services to patients every day. The inspections have showed

:03:39.:03:43.

that a third were not up to the required standard. What we have to

:03:44.:03:49.

remember is those first inspections have been targeted where they think

:03:50.:03:52.

the worst problems are rather than across the board. We are confident

:03:53.:03:59.

the vast majority of working really hard to provide excellent services

:04:00.:04:02.

in safe and clean buildings. What can NHS England do to support those

:04:03.:04:08.

who are struggling? As soon as NHS managers become aware there are

:04:09.:04:13.

issues, we work with the practices to point out what the problems are

:04:14.:04:17.

and describes the ways we would expect them to improve. We regularly

:04:18.:04:21.

work with them to make sure the improvements are made. At the

:04:22.:04:26.

inspections useful? The BMA are talking about them as being

:04:27.:04:31.

simplistic and a blunt instrument. I think they are part of a whole range

:04:32.:04:37.

of things that are in place to ensure we can guarantee the quality

:04:38.:04:42.

of services to the population. Yes, they are useful tool alongside other

:04:43.:04:46.

quality assurance tools. This is just the start of the process. The

:04:47.:04:51.

inspections will continue and cover a broader range of services as they

:04:52.:04:55.

develop. We will be looking at out of our services as well as the in

:04:56.:05:06.

our services. Thank you. Two Loughborough teenagers who were

:05:07.:05:09.

arrested as part of a terror investigation have been given

:05:10.:05:11.

community sentences. They both admitted helping a friend make

:05:12.:05:12.

bombs. The friend, who can't be named, is

:05:13.:05:15.

accused of preparing a Columbine`style school massacre. But

:05:16.:05:20.

last month a jury failed to agree on whether he was guilty of terrorist

:05:21.:05:23.

offences. Today he was ordered to stand trial again.

:05:24.:05:27.

Our social affairs correspondent, Jeremy Ball, has been at the Old

:05:28.:05:31.

Bailey. Jeremy, what happened at the Old Bailey today? There were two

:05:32.:05:38.

separate court hearings today. The first involved with the teenager on

:05:39.:05:41.

trial in London for several weeks. He admitted possessing explosives

:05:42.:05:48.

but the jury could not agree on whether he was guilty of more

:05:49.:05:52.

serious terrorism charges. Today the judge ordered a retrial to begin on

:05:53.:05:57.

the 3rd of March. Here's to nine `` he is denying possessing a poison 's

:05:58.:06:05.

manual that is banned and also a list of weapons and plans which the

:06:06.:06:10.

prosecution say work intentions to commit an act of terrorism. What

:06:11.:06:15.

about his two friends? They appeared in the dock for sentencing. They

:06:16.:06:20.

looked pretty nervous. We heard that one of them was videoed helping

:06:21.:06:26.

their friend to test Molotov cocktails. We heard the other one

:06:27.:06:33.

was caught on CCTV at a DIY store in Loughborough helping the friend by

:06:34.:06:39.

piping to make an improvised bomb. The judge said both of them were

:06:40.:06:44.

followers rather than instigators. Neither of them wanted to take part

:06:45.:06:47.

in any attack. Because of that, he gave them a community sentence, a

:06:48.:06:55.

youth rehabilitation order. How did they get involved? They became

:06:56.:07:01.

friends at school because they had been bullied. They are still 17 and

:07:02.:07:04.

that is why we cannot identify them. The judge said there chats contained

:07:05.:07:12.

racist and anti`Muslim comments and they had been searching the Internet

:07:13.:07:17.

for information about explosives. The judge said that any

:07:18.:07:21.

experimentation with weapons or bombs had to be taken very

:07:22.:07:29.

seriously. Police have named a woman who was

:07:30.:07:33.

found dead at her home on Tuesday night. 70`year`old Sandra Bainbridge

:07:34.:07:36.

was discovered at the house on Short Row at Belper in Derbyshire. Police

:07:37.:07:39.

are appealing for anyone who may have seen people visiting Sandra in

:07:40.:07:42.

the days before her death to contact them. A 37`year`old woman has been

:07:43.:07:46.

arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody.

:07:47.:07:49.

A follow`up report about the controversial Muslim free school in

:07:50.:07:52.

Derby says there are still no signs of improvement in the school. It

:07:53.:07:55.

comes just weeks after the Al`Madinah was placed in special

:07:56.:07:58.

measures for failing its pupils. A new inspection on 29th November

:07:59.:08:01.

found tensions between the governing body and senior leadership team. The

:08:02.:08:04.

report says governors are working hard, but are too busy with

:08:05.:08:07.

day`to`day running of the school to monitor senior leaders.

:08:08.:08:18.

One of our air ambulances is on stand`by to help another region

:08:19.:08:20.

following the sudden grounding of some of the national fleet of

:08:21.:08:23.

helicopters today. The Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air

:08:24.:08:26.

Ambulance is ready to fly to North West England after its air ambulance

:08:27.:08:29.

was grounded. Checks are needed on the North West Air Ambulance

:08:30.:08:32.

following the recent helicopter crash in Glasgow. None of our police

:08:33.:08:35.

helicopters, however are affected by safety checks and are all operating

:08:36.:08:38.

normally, although some are having their operating fuel levels

:08:39.:08:43.

increased as a precaution. Still to come: The feeding of the

:08:44.:08:48.

5,000. Actually, it's more than that. We

:08:49.:08:51.

find out what goes into producing 32,000 school Christmas dinners.

:08:52.:09:02.

Next tonight, it's decision time. Controversial plans to build

:09:03.:09:06.

thousands of new houses around Nottingham could be agreed this

:09:07.:09:09.

evening. 2,500 homes are planned at Gamston and an extra 300 on

:09:10.:09:12.

Sharphill Woods within the next 15 years.

:09:13.:09:17.

Protestors have gathered outside Rushcliffe Borough Council for the

:09:18.:09:20.

meeting where the plans are expected to be approved. Our reporter Navtej

:09:21.:09:30.

Johal is there. Good evening. Protesters are

:09:31.:09:34.

starting to gather here. It must feel a little bit like deja vu. This

:09:35.:09:39.

issue has been rumbling on for a number of years. Plans have been put

:09:40.:09:46.

forward at turndown. By the end of this evening, we should be closer to

:09:47.:09:51.

a resolution `` put forward and turned down. Protecting the green

:09:52.:09:58.

belt has become a divisive issue. Tonight the council is expected to

:09:59.:10:03.

approve changes for plans to build more homes than originally intended.

:10:04.:10:07.

Last year the planning inspector turned down the proposal for

:10:08.:10:14.

building 9500 homes in the borough. Now it is increasing the number to

:10:15.:10:23.

over 13,000. 2500 will be in a town were originally none were planned.

:10:24.:10:31.

An extra 300 homes are planned for Edward and 500 more for an area

:10:32.:10:34.

south of Clifton. If the changes are approved, they will be sent to the

:10:35.:10:39.

planning inspector. There will be public hearings in the spring.

:10:40.:10:44.

Earlier this evening I spoke to the leader of the borough council and I

:10:45.:10:47.

asked him why the plans were likely to go ahead despite strong local

:10:48.:10:53.

opposition. It is important we approve the plan so it can go

:10:54.:10:55.

forward to the inspector because without a plan we would have no

:10:56.:11:00.

control at all over any unwanted development. Whilst nobody is happy

:11:01.:11:04.

about making these decisions tonight, nevertheless, as a

:11:05.:11:09.

responsible council, we must make these decisions so we can have some

:11:10.:11:14.

control over facilities, infrastructure and then we can also

:11:15.:11:17.

control where we do not want developments taking place. Joining

:11:18.:11:26.

me now is a lady from the campaign. Why are you so opposed to the

:11:27.:11:31.

building of the homes? It is a very beautiful area. On the ridge line,

:11:32.:11:40.

you can see for miles around. We are worried that the additional houses

:11:41.:11:44.

they are planning to put there would put extreme pressure on the area we

:11:45.:11:47.

want to preserve. We are hoping there will be a park there that

:11:48.:11:52.

would be an amenity for everybody. This housing plan would put pressure

:11:53.:11:58.

on the woods, on the facilities around and about. The council said

:11:59.:12:03.

earlier that despite that, there is still urgent need for new housing.

:12:04.:12:07.

Is this a case of not in my backyard? I think the council will

:12:08.:12:16.

continue to build around the area. But I am saying we need to preserve

:12:17.:12:20.

some green spaces for all of the people from all of those houses to

:12:21.:12:24.

use in the future. People have been wise in the past and they have left

:12:25.:12:30.

places as an open space for people to use. I am suggesting we do the

:12:31.:12:36.

same here. The meeting in which the changes to the plans are likely to

:12:37.:12:39.

be approved is going to start in about 20 minutes. If it gets the

:12:40.:12:45.

go`ahead, building work should begin in 2015. In other news tonight: A

:12:46.:12:58.

patient helpline opened today for anyone concerned about the

:12:59.:13:00.

performance of a liver surgeon who worked in Leicester.

:13:01.:13:03.

Professor David Berry who moved to Cardiff in 2011 was suspended there

:13:04.:13:09.

in January. A recent review concluded eight patient deaths in

:13:10.:13:19.

his care in Wales were avoidable. Leicester's NHS Hospitals Trust is

:13:20.:13:23.

now looking into his work here. The Princess Royal has planted the

:13:24.:13:27.

final tree for the Jubilee Woods project in Grantham. There are now

:13:28.:13:30.

88,000 trees at Grantham's Barracks at Old Somerby Hill. The scheme, to

:13:31.:13:33.

mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, has been overseen by the Woodland

:13:34.:13:36.

Trust. It's one of 60 new Diamond Woods across the country.

:13:37.:13:42.

An East Midlands researcher believes she's taken a big step forward in

:13:43.:13:45.

the treatment of Tourette's syndrome. Around of third of young

:13:46.:13:48.

people affected by uncontrolled tics never get better as they reach

:13:49.:13:54.

adulthood. Now though, a magnetic field treatment being developed in

:13:55.:13:56.

Nottingham offers hope for sufferers. Simon Ward reports.

:13:57.:14:05.

This machine passes a magnetic field through the brain. The research team

:14:06.:14:10.

at the University of Nottingham have discovered the mechanism in the

:14:11.:14:14.

brain that controls the physical movements and vocal sounds made by

:14:15.:14:19.

children with Tourette's. The promise of this approach is that we

:14:20.:14:22.

might be able to reduce cortical excitability for long periods of

:14:23.:14:30.

time based on a simple, safe, noninvasive brain stimulations

:14:31.:14:32.

technique. A very mild electric current is passed through the brain

:14:33.:14:37.

full 20 minutes. As a result, the suggestion is it might reduce the

:14:38.:14:43.

text. It could help children who suffer from the condition at a

:14:44.:14:48.

crucial time in their lives. It would be very helpful for them

:14:49.:14:53.

because it can be very debilitating, especially in social situations and

:14:54.:14:58.

at school and at such a critical age. It would be very portable for

:14:59.:15:03.

them be able to have treatment that works. Sophia who is a member of the

:15:04.:15:10.

research team describes how it feels. The first few times is a bit

:15:11.:15:16.

funny. Your muscle contracts. It is not unpleasant at all. It is quite

:15:17.:15:22.

strange. It is hoped it could lead to new drug`free treatments.

:15:23.:15:35.

Still to come: Sport's on the oche. We'll have Jamie Caven in the studio

:15:36.:15:38.

ahead of the World Darts Championships which start tomorrow

:15:39.:15:48.

and he's bringing his dartboard. In fact, I think he has a woody

:15:49.:15:52.

brought it! Still to come: Next, it was a

:15:53.:16:02.

household name in the 1970s and '80s, but it folded after being sold

:16:03.:16:05.

off. Now in a sign that the economy in

:16:06.:16:09.

the East Midlands is starting to recover, Sweater Shop is back.

:16:10.:16:11.

Eleanor Garnier's been finding out how much of the company's success is

:16:12.:16:15.

down to the popularity of the Christmas jumper.

:16:16.:16:21.

This factory is the home of the Christmas knitted jumper. The

:16:22.:16:30.

Sweater Shop started life as a company in the 1970s. It was based

:16:31.:16:36.

up the road and had two factories in the Leicester area. 22 years later,

:16:37.:16:43.

it was sold for ?150 million. Within 24 months, the company had folded.

:16:44.:16:48.

Now despite being in his 80s, the original owner has relaunched the

:16:49.:16:53.

business. It is his grandson who was in charge. Lester was where we were

:16:54.:17:00.

the first time round. We know it well. The skilled labour is here.

:17:01.:17:05.

These people make the best jumpers in the world. Over the past two

:17:06.:17:11.

years, sales have rocketed. But how much is the popularity of the

:17:12.:17:16.

Christmas jumper part of that boom? Christmas jumpers are huge part but

:17:17.:17:22.

it is the feel`good factor. They are loving the name coming back. Is it

:17:23.:17:29.

the proper Sweater Shop? Yes, it is. The British Chambers of Commerce

:17:30.:17:32.

have said next year the UK economy will bounce back from the recession.

:17:33.:17:38.

Is that something you recognise? We are confident the orders we have and

:17:39.:17:41.

the way things are going, we are already looking for bigger premises.

:17:42.:17:46.

People who have been on benefits are so glad to be learning the trade. It

:17:47.:17:51.

is brilliant. This factory can churn out more than 1700 pieces of

:17:52.:17:56.

clothing a week. As demand increases, so does the pressure to

:17:57.:18:05.

move into a bigger factory. I have not got a Christmas jumper.

:18:06.:18:11.

It is Christmas jumper date tomorrow.

:18:12.:18:17.

You could knit us one, dear viewer. On our Facebook page, you can see

:18:18.:18:21.

some of the team wearing the Christmas jumpers. Why don't you

:18:22.:18:30.

send us a picture of you wearing your favourite Christmas jumper so

:18:31.:18:33.

we can put it up as part of our Facebook gallery? It is time for

:18:34.:18:45.

sport now. I do not have a Christmas jumper

:18:46.:18:52.

either! The eagle`eyed may have spotted a

:18:53.:18:55.

dartboard behind me there. We'll explain why that's here in a moment.

:18:56.:18:58.

But starting tonight with football because Leicester City may be

:18:59.:19:01.

looking to strengthen their squad after striker Chris Wood has been

:19:02.:19:05.

sidelined for at least a month. With that and the rest of the sports

:19:06.:19:09.

news, here's Angela. Frustration ahead of a massive week

:19:10.:19:16.

of fixtures. This could be the man to replace Chris Wood. No official

:19:17.:19:23.

confirmation yet but Pearson admitted they may need cover. You

:19:24.:19:28.

would like all of your players to be available but unfortunately from

:19:29.:19:34.

time to time people pick an injury. For Chris, it is doubly disappointed

:19:35.:19:38.

because he has not been in the starting line. In rugby, uncertainty

:19:39.:19:44.

about Toby Flood. His contract is coming to an end. He could be

:19:45.:19:48.

tempted by a big`money move. Of course we want to keep him. He is

:19:49.:19:54.

instrumental to what we do. We will do whatever we can to make it

:19:55.:19:59.

happen, financially, personally. Nottingham ice dancers have been

:20:00.:20:06.

named in the GB Winter Olympic team. They are the current British

:20:07.:20:08.

champions. But as we heard and programme macro last month, the fact

:20:09.:20:12.

they are competing is quite something dash back on East Midlands

:20:13.:20:19.

Today. He has been diagnosed with a life`threatening heart condition.

:20:20.:20:22.

Time to explain the dartboard and introduce today's special guest.

:20:23.:20:26.

This is Jamie Jabba Cavan, one of the world's top players. He was born

:20:27.:20:30.

in Leicester, he lives in Derby and on Sunday he gets his campaign under

:20:31.:20:34.

way in the PDC World Championships, darts' biggest and certainly

:20:35.:20:42.

noisiest event. Jamie, we met earlier in the year and you told me

:20:43.:20:46.

2013 would be your year. Are you still on track? It has been good so

:20:47.:20:54.

far. I think I just won the two pro events when we spoke last. I have

:20:55.:20:59.

had good runs in some of the big majors since then. Tell us about the

:21:00.:21:09.

PDC championship. It is massive. The worlds is the biggest. Everybody

:21:10.:21:13.

gets dressed up and enjoys themselves. It is rock 'n' roll. It

:21:14.:21:19.

makes dads what it is. We can have a look at some pictures. `` it makes

:21:20.:21:27.

the arts what it is. You get Prince Harry turning up. You also get Phil

:21:28.:21:35.

Taylor, the champion, here's a darting machine. Astonishing. He is

:21:36.:21:41.

the best. He is what everybody has to chase. He sets the level and

:21:42.:21:45.

raises the bar all of the time. That is why everybody else's aim is

:21:46.:21:50.

getting better. It attracts massive crowds. How do you build it from

:21:51.:22:00.

those massive crowds and turned it into a sport? I think it has been

:22:01.:22:06.

known as a well`known sport now for the last few years. The crowds have

:22:07.:22:09.

got bigger because of the popularity and the TV. Everybody likes to get

:22:10.:22:15.

dressed up and enjoy the atmosphere. It generates the buzz. You have got

:22:16.:22:26.

plans to bring an young players `` bring on. Blimey! That was a good

:22:27.:22:35.

140. I have got an Academy starting in Derby. Open day on the 8th of

:22:36.:22:42.

January. It is for kids from six to 16. Hopefully we will branch out.

:22:43.:22:46.

The talent is to be nurtured and that is what we will do. You tried

to teach me. If I remember correctly, you were not complement

tree about my stance. It was not great. Can I have another go? Of

:22:56.:23:03.

course you can. No warm up. These are different... I hit the board. A

:23:04.:23:12.

good start! Not bad. I will take that. Thank you very much. I missed

:23:13.:23:20.

you as well which is always good. I was very relieved that you missed

:23:21.:23:24.

us. You have not got the right shoes on. We have got to move on.

:23:25.:23:30.

Now, making Christmas dinner can be a stressful affair. But imagine

:23:31.:23:36.

making it for 32,000. I can't think of anything worse!

:23:37.:23:39.

Well, that's the number of primary children who've been tucking into

:23:40.:23:42.

their Christmas school meal in Nottinghamshire this week. And

:23:43.:23:45.

here's the good news. The people who plan those meals, buy food from

:23:46.:23:48.

local suppliers wherever possible. Angelina Socci reports. Hello. These

:23:49.:24:01.

schoolchildren have dropped into a butchers in Nottinghamshire to find

:24:02.:24:06.

out where their school dinners come from. The turkey was bigger than I

:24:07.:24:12.

expected. It smells really good. The meat comes from near here. We can

:24:13.:24:20.

make a cost saving going to local producers. We can buy better quality

:24:21.:24:25.

ingredients. After the horse meat scandal, there is more demand than

:24:26.:24:30.

ever for knowing exactly where meters from. We source carcass meat

:24:31.:24:37.

so we do not buy anything that could be disguised as anything else. Back

:24:38.:24:43.

at the school, these books are feeling the heat. Christmas lunch

:24:44.:24:51.

for 160. It is really stressful. The ingredient budget is around 70p per

:24:52.:24:58.

meal. Around five and had 40 calories and `` around 540 calories.

:24:59.:25:08.

It is so busy. We have good start. It is like it is Christmas. I like

:25:09.:25:18.

the mashed potato. Why? It has all of my favourite things on it. Lots

:25:19.:25:25.

of other children are trying school lunch for the first time. We

:25:26.:25:28.

normally have 100. Hopefully more will have it on a regular basis.

:25:29.:25:37.

Happy Christmas, everyone! So sweet.

:25:38.:25:42.

That little boy said, I only like pudding. A more wholesome weather

:25:43.:25:47.

Outlook now. It has been cloudy and overcast

:25:48.:25:58.

today. All of the cloud stays with us. We are expecting there to be a

:25:59.:26:05.

spell of rain. This weather picture was taken earlier today. You can

:26:06.:26:08.

just about see the castle in the background. If you would like to see

:26:09.:26:12.

your picture used, e`mail them to us. Something else you may have

:26:13.:26:18.

noticed, it has been feeling rather mild. Temperatures are unusually

:26:19.:26:24.

high for this time of year tonight. The averages only two degrees. Not

:26:25.:26:30.

too bad at all. It is nine degrees tonight. The wind direction is

:26:31.:26:36.

driving in much milder air. Looking at this Atlantic front, all of the

:26:37.:26:40.

weather fronts pushing their way in, bringing rain over the next few

:26:41.:26:44.

days. At the moment, we have all of the cloud. A little mist and fog

:26:45.:26:50.

forming. In the early hours, we start to see the rain pushing its

:26:51.:26:54.

way through. A spell of rain for a time. Heavy over higher ground.

:26:55.:26:59.

Temperatures, as I mentioned, eight or nine degrees. Tomorrow morning,

:27:00.:27:06.

rain around first thing. For a while it eases. Another band of rain will

:27:07.:27:10.

push its way east as we go into the afternoon. Again, there might be

:27:11.:27:15.

heavy bursts. Temperatures tomorrow, 11 or 12. Breezy with the

:27:16.:27:23.

south`westerly wind. The weekend, a lot of dry weather to be had. Rain

:27:24.:27:30.

arriving Saturday night and clearing Sunday morning. Dry on Sunday.

:27:31.:27:34.

Hanky. I reckon you would get good odds on

:27:35.:27:37.

a white Christmas this year. Are you serious? Not having a white

:27:38.:27:43.

Christmas no, good odds. Never mind.
