We And now the news for the East

:00:00.:00:19.

Midlands, I'm Quentin Rayner. An investigation has started into

:00:20.:00:22.

claims that an 81`year`old woman with dementia was forced out of a

:00:23.:00:25.

respite care home on Christmas Eve night. Sarah Finney's son`in` law

:00:26.:00:30.

arrived at the home in Derbyshire to find the police had been called out

:00:31.:00:33.

to take her to hospital. Mike O'Sullivan reports.

:00:34.:00:40.

It has been a busy working Christmas for this business owner from

:00:41.:00:46.

Ilkeston. But a Christmas marked by a family crisis. On Christmas Eve

:00:47.:00:52.

night, he says his 81`year`old mother`in`law 0

:00:53.:00:53.

night, he says his 81`year`old mother`in`law Sarah Finney was

:00:54.:00:57.

forced out of a respite care home. She was being looked after here, a

:00:58.:01:00.

site run by Derbyshire county council. He says when he arrived

:01:01.:01:06.

staff claimed Sarah Finney was abusive and aggressive and they had

:01:07.:01:07.

called the police 0 abusive and aggressive and they had

:01:08.:01:07.

called the police to 0 abusive and aggressive and they had

:01:08.:01:08.

called the police to take her to hospital. I reacted fairly

:01:09.:01:13.

strongly. I said that there was no way that my mother`in`law in her

:01:14.:01:17.

pyjamas would be taken in a police car on Christmas Eve to the Derby

:01:18.:01:26.

city hospital. I would take her myself in my car. He says staff at

:01:27.:01:31.

the home should have been able to cope, as it had been recommended by

:01:32.:01:37.

social services. Sarah Finney is now out of hospital and in a private

:01:38.:01:42.

care home. You do not expect elderly people to be treated this way. The

:01:43.:01:45.

staff were incredibly unprofessional. They would not

:01:46.:01:52.

listen to anything that I said. They just wanted her out, 0

:01:53.:01:53.

listen to anything that I said. They just wanted her out, no matter what.

:01:54.:01:57.

The county council says it cannot respond in detail because it is

:01:58.:02:00.

investigating. But it says it would never evict anyone from one of its

:02:01.:02:07.

homes. It says Sarah Finney's move out was the result of an

:02:08.:02:09.

unexpectedly very difficult situation.

:02:10.:02:13.

Police in Leicester have asked for help from the public after a shotgun

:02:14.:02:16.

was fired at a house. Officers were called to Acer Close in Beaumont

:02:17.:02:20.

Leys in the early hours of Saturday morning. No`one was injured. The

:02:21.:02:22.

police 0 0 morning. No`one was injured. The

:02:23.:02:24.

police have described it as highly unusual. Neighbours say it's

:02:25.:02:30.

normally a peaceful area. We have been here since March and it is

:02:31.:02:34.

lovely. Quiet. Friendly people. I am really surprised. There were two

:02:35.:02:41.

riot vans, three or four police cars and a plain car with policemen in

:02:42.:02:46.

it. There were here for quite a while `` they were.

:02:47.:02:53.

A man is still being interviewed by detectives after the discovery of a

:02:54.:02:56.

body at a house in Hyson Green area of Nottingham. Police say Ian

:02:57.:03:00.

Cammock was 30 and died from chest injuries. Officers have been given

:03:01.:03:03.

more time to question a 49`year`old man from Ruddington.

:03:04.:03:05.

Two horses are lucky to be alive after a fire broke out at their

:03:06.:03:08.

stables in Leicestershire. Their owners say the animals are shocked

:03:09.:03:12.

and traumatised by what happened. A police inquiry is under way. Helen

:03:13.:03:19.

Astle reports. They have had a lucky escape. This

:03:20.:03:24.

horse has been badly burnt and another horse's main was singed. Ta

:03:25.:03:31.

covers his face. It was a real shock. Like living through a film. A

:03:32.:03:39.

nightmare. I came running across the field and sought flames coming out

:03:40.:03:46.

of every stable window at the back `` I saw flames. My immediate

:03:47.:03:49.

thought was that the horses would be dead. It was just awful. I climbed

:03:50.:03:57.

over a hedge, screaming at the guy who got here before me. He shouted

:03:58.:04:02.

back it is OK, I have got them out. She is burnt but alive. The fire

:04:03.:04:09.

broke out at around 230 yeah. It was the second stable fire of the night.

:04:10.:04:14.

The first one was a quarter of a mile away `` at around 2:30am. We

:04:15.:04:21.

have lost everything. Saddles, bridles, heh. For the owner, it will

:04:22.:04:28.

be a long time before she rides her again. Her tale has burnt off. She

:04:29.:04:36.

has burns underneath. Luckily, the rug saved her life, I think.

:04:37.:04:42.

Everything was dropping from the roof above in her stable. That has

:04:43.:04:48.

burnt the rug instead of her back. She 0 0

:04:49.:04:48.

burnt the rug instead of her back. She has no 0

:04:49.:04:49.

burnt the rug instead of her back. She has no eyelashes anything like

:04:50.:04:55.

that. Leicestershire Police are investigating the fires. They urge

:04:56.:04:58.

anyone who saw anything to contact them.

:04:59.:05:01.

A Derbyshire councillor says at least half`a`dozen schools in the

:05:02.:05:04.

county need modernising, but there isn't enough money to do it. His

:05:05.:05:09.

comments come as pupils at the Tibshelf Community School in

:05:10.:05:12.

Alfreton have finally begun enjoying lessons in a new ?16 million

:05:13.:05:16.

building. It's taken seven years to complete and happened after original

:05:17.:05:17.

plans were 0 complete and happened after original

:05:18.:05:19.

plans were scrapped when the Government removed the funding. We

:05:20.:05:27.

are here and it is the transition. The transformation has occurred. It

:05:28.:05:32.

is now really important we get on and improve in this environment. We

:05:33.:05:42.

need to rebuild one more school. All of the other schools have been

:05:43.:05:47.

postponed or stopped. Having a good school with modern facilities makes

:05:48.:05:49.

all the difference. Time for sport now, with both action

:05:50.:05:53.

and reaction after all three of our Championship clubs won. Leicester

:05:54.:05:57.

and Derby are now the top two in the division. Colin Hazelden reports.

:05:58.:06:01.

Leicester are four points clear at the top 0 0

Leicester are four points clear at the top after 0 0

:06:03.:06:02.

Leicester are four points clear at the top after a real thriller

:06:03.:06:05.

against Bolton. They had to come back from being 2`1 and 3`2 down.

:06:06.:06:13.

That was quite extraordinary. To start the game as well as we did, I

:06:14.:06:19.

think we played as well today as we have all season. The most important

:06:20.:06:24.

thing for us was to continue to play with the intent we played with in

:06:25.:06:29.

the first half and I think we did it. Derby are in second place. Their

:06:30.:06:34.

astonishing unbeaten run continues. Chris Martin just keeps scoring. We

:06:35.:06:42.

played some great football. Controlled the game through

:06:43.:06:45.

possession. We got the goal we needed. We got a bit sloppy. But I

:06:46.:06:53.

think that was their only shot at goal. Forest have tricked to great

:06:54.:07:01.

results out of the bag in a row. We should have had more goals by

:07:02.:07:08.

half`time. Plenty of chances. It was unfortunate. I am looking forward to

:07:09.:07:14.

the next match. Notts County back to bottom of 0 0

:07:15.:07:15.

the next match. Notts County back to bottom of the table after defeat by

:07:16.:07:19.

Crawley town. In the two, Mansfield at last ended a run of 13 games

:07:20.:07:26.

without a win. Everyone back in action on New Year's Day. It is

:07:27.:07:30.

wild, 0 0 action on New Year's Day. It is

:07:31.:07:44.

are ending this one. A little brief respite 0

:07:45.:07:45.

are ending this one. A little brief respite tonight. Again, the next

:07:46.:07:48.

weather system will move through tomorrow. We are in between weather

:07:49.:07:51.

systems to night so it is tried. There will be clear skies to start

:07:52.:07:58.

with `` so it is dry. He winds will pick up again. Showers by morning.

:07:59.:08:05.

Fairly mild. Here we go again tomorrow. It may be drier for a

:08:06.:08:09.

time. The cloud will thicken and the rain will spill eastwards through

:08:10.:08:14.

the morning. Just like today, it clears off for the afternoon. Drier

:08:15.:08:15.

and 0 0 clears off for the afternoon. Drier

:08:16.:08:18.

and brighter. Staying on the mild side. It will not stay bone dry for

:08:19.:08:23.

the New Year's Eve celebrations. Blustery showers later on in the

:08:24.:08:28.

night. Stay in and stay tuned. We will be back just before

:08:29.:08:30.

10:30pm. Another day off strong winds, heavy

:08:31.:08:43.

rain and flooding. At least things are quiet at the moment. The rain

:08:44.:08:48.

has cleared off and the wind is lighter. There might be some ice in

:08:49.:08:53.

Scotland, but through the night, the wind picks up, lifting temperatures,

:08:54.:09:00.

but more heavy rain pushing in. The rain band is not quite a significant

:09:01.:09:04.

us today, but it will leave surface water flooding. Some heavy bursts

:09:05.:09:08.

clearing Northern Ireland by first light. It reaches the east coast by

:09:09.:09:15.

the time we get to lunchtime, after a few morning showers. The wind is

:09:16.:09:20.

falling lighter, easing down from the gusty nature. A bit of sunshine

:09:21.:09:24.

through the afternoon. The temperature is a bit higher than

:09:25.:09:28.

they should be at this stage of the year. Some showers to finish the day

:09:29.:09:33.

in the West. They will push East on a blustery wind. Some of you will
