:00:00. > :00:00.George. Thank you. That's all so it's goodbye from me and on BBC
:00:00. > :00:09.This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and me, Geeta Pendse.
:00:10. > :00:14.Tonight, the anguish of a teenage mum of triplets. The 17`year`old's
:00:15. > :00:18.premature babies were split is up at birth. They were taken to different
:00:19. > :00:23.hospitals, away from her, all because of a shortage of specialist
:00:24. > :00:28.cots. Also tonight, a murder investigation after a man's found
:00:29. > :00:37.dead in the street. Plus, snack attack. The schools fighting off the
:00:38. > :00:52.fast`food vans. Injured Olympian, Etienne Stott, back in training.
:00:53. > :00:58.Good evening and welcome to Thursday's programme. First tonight,
:00:59. > :01:02.the young mum denied time with her new born triplets in the precious
:01:03. > :01:05.first few days of their life. The 17`year`old was forced to spend two
:01:06. > :01:09.nights in one Nottingham Hospital while her premature triplets were
:01:10. > :01:15.kept in two others. It's because of a shortage of neo`natal cots. In
:01:16. > :01:19.fact, the nearest facility for two of the babies was more than 50 miles
:01:20. > :01:22.from their mother. Live now to our health correspondent, Rob Sissons.
:01:23. > :01:26.Rob, you've been speaking to the mum, it must have been quite
:01:27. > :01:30.traumatic for her? That's right. She was very distressed about it, so
:01:31. > :01:35.much so she didn't want to go on TV, but was happy for me to recount her
:01:36. > :01:39.story. Basically, very upset about not being able to touch the babies
:01:40. > :01:46.for long, not being able to look at them for a long time and name them.
:01:47. > :01:50.This separation of around 48`hours or more has really been a real other
:01:51. > :01:57.deal for this young woman who basically had an unplanned
:01:58. > :02:03.pregnancy, triplets born 10`weeks premature. She doesn't know much
:02:04. > :02:08.about them. She thinks they are identical triplets, which is rare.
:02:09. > :02:13.She went into labour at home and was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre
:02:14. > :02:24.where the first baby was delivered naturally, two others born by C
:02:25. > :02:30.section. The two other babies went to Kettering. 50 miles from here, 80
:02:31. > :02:36.miles from her home. What have hospital boss had to say about this?
:02:37. > :02:40.Well, they've said that it is very regrettable that this happened, but
:02:41. > :02:47.it is down to capacity. Obviously, there is peaks and troughs in
:02:48. > :02:51.demand. When units are full, they are full. They work in networks and
:02:52. > :02:54.ring other sites to see if cots are available. With three babies to
:02:55. > :02:58.accommodate, that is a tall order. In this case, it proved very
:02:59. > :03:03.difficult, but the mum wasn't with the babies. She was kept here at the
:03:04. > :03:08.Queen's Medical Centre to recover from her surgery, the Caesarean
:03:09. > :03:12.section. She has been kept away from the babies and in precious time when
:03:13. > :03:16.she wanted to be bonding with them. When they wanted to be helping to
:03:17. > :03:21.feed them. I gather tonight the babies have finally been reunited
:03:22. > :03:27.with their mother? Yes, some good news. A space was found at
:03:28. > :03:32.Kettering, one of the triplets was moved there this evening, the mother
:03:33. > :03:36.is now with the babies in Kettering, albeit 80 miles away from home and
:03:37. > :03:45.very upset about what's happened. Of course. Rob, thank you very much for
:03:46. > :03:49.joining us. Next tonight: A murder investigation is underway after a
:03:50. > :03:56.man died outside a house on a quiet residential street. He was
:03:57. > :03:59.discovered early this morning. He's thought to have suffered severe head
:04:00. > :04:02.injuries. Detectives have arrested a man on suspicion of murder. The road
:04:03. > :04:05.in Derby, where it happened, has been sealed off all day and from
:04:06. > :04:08.there, Simon Hare reports. A quiet cul`de`sac which is now at the
:04:09. > :04:14.centre of a murder inquiry. The victim, a 54`year`old man, was
:04:15. > :04:19.declared dead at the scene early this morning. Police soon said it
:04:20. > :04:27.was suspicious and cordoned off a whole section of Fieldsway Drive in
:04:28. > :04:33.the Hilltop area of Derby. A Home Office pathologist visited the scene
:04:34. > :04:37.to examine the body. Outside a semi detached house, a police tent marks
:04:38. > :04:42.the spot where the man was discovered. Disturbing. You hear
:04:43. > :04:49.that much of it, when it happens on your own doorstep it makes you
:04:50. > :04:55.wonder, doesn't it really? It's a quiet area. When a wheelie bin goes
:04:56. > :05:02.over people notice. Many residents stayed at home during the day a as
:05:03. > :05:06.they couldn't leave because of the police cordon. We couldn't go to
:05:07. > :05:10.work. My heart goes out to the family. Post`mortem w was due to be
:05:11. > :05:14.carried thought afternoon to determine what caused the man's
:05:15. > :05:18.death. Early reports suggest he suffered severe head injuries.
:05:19. > :05:23.Police want to hear from anyone who saw anything suspicious in this area
:05:24. > :05:28.this morning. This afternoon, officers carried out house to house
:05:29. > :05:32.inquiries and and also cardon off a car in a nearby car park as part of
:05:33. > :05:40.their investigation. Then news came through that detectives had arrested
:05:41. > :05:49.a 37`year`old man on suspicion of murder. He is due to be questioned
:05:50. > :05:54.by officers. You're watching East Midlands Today: Still to come:
:05:55. > :05:56.Should bobbies use buses? An MP raises concerns after it emerges one
:05:57. > :06:11.Nottinghamshire officer was left stranded.
:06:12. > :06:16.Before then, junk food sellers could be banned from trading outside
:06:17. > :06:19.schools to stop pupils stocking up on sweets and fizzy drinks. One head
:06:20. > :06:22.teacher in Nottingham has already stopped her students leaving the
:06:23. > :06:25.premises at lunchtime when chip vans are parked outside. Sarah Teale
:06:26. > :06:29.reports. This is what they want to see at this school in Nottingham.
:06:30. > :06:34.Pupils pouring into the canteen and tucking into one of the healthy
:06:35. > :06:38.meals on offer. It's all fresh. It's locally sourced. There is always
:06:39. > :06:43.vegetables. What they don't want is the junk food Sellers who camp
:06:44. > :06:49.outside before and after school. Selling lots of sweets, fizzy pop,
:06:50. > :06:52.crisps, at very, very cheep prices just outside the school gates.
:06:53. > :06:58.Obviously, that is quite attractive to young people and, from our point
:06:59. > :07:05.of view, we want to promote a healthy life styles. City Council
:07:06. > :07:09.wants to introduce new controls around this school and two others.
:07:10. > :07:13.It means anyone trying to sell anything would be banned from
:07:14. > :07:19.trading without specific consent from the council. I think it should
:07:20. > :07:26.be banned. More and more people are waiting outside getting all this
:07:27. > :07:31.unhealthy junk food instead of going and getting ready to learn. Would
:07:32. > :07:37.encourage people to eat o most healthy food. Children leave the
:07:38. > :07:47.school and buying crisps and kebabs being sold outside. They are not
:07:48. > :07:52.allowed to go outside the school premises and many more are eating at
:07:53. > :07:55.the canteen. Because of the position of the van and the number of
:07:56. > :07:59.students that are crowding around it, it presents a real health and
:08:00. > :08:04.safety issue on a very busy main road. The council will decide
:08:05. > :08:11.whether to enforce the new controls on Monday. Sarah joins us in the
:08:12. > :08:14.studio now. Sarah, this is a big talking point, isn't it? It is. Lots
:08:15. > :08:19.of people have responded to this story via Twitter and Facebook. They
:08:20. > :08:21.agreed these junk food Sellers should be banned. Here are some of
:08:22. > :08:33.those views: Sean, from Enderby in
:08:34. > :08:36.Leicestershire, said kids should be focussed on fitness and low body
:08:37. > :08:39.fat. Meals in Fields, a Leicestershire group passionate
:08:40. > :08:42.about local food, agreed that the vans are not only bad for diet, but
:08:43. > :08:45.there's also potential for road accidents. We heard from the Head
:08:46. > :08:49.there. And, Brian Hat said rising obesity levels in kids needs to be
:08:50. > :08:52.nipped in the bud. On the other side: Chris Harley`Millward told us,
:08:53. > :08:56.children should be allowed a mind of their own and that they have a
:08:57. > :09:00.choice not to buy from these vans. Anne Rutt argued it's not so much
:09:01. > :09:03.the food, but children having a lack of exercise. Finally, Peter Willetts
:09:04. > :09:06.told us the council should keep their nose out of it. He says
:09:07. > :09:10.banning these vans is against the human rights of kids and stops the
:09:11. > :09:20.vendors earning a living. Some strong opinions there. Thank you,
:09:21. > :09:23.Sarah. In other news, police have confirmed they've arrested a man on
:09:24. > :09:26.suspicion of murder after a woman's body was discovered in Leicester.
:09:27. > :09:29.Officers were called to a property on Down Street in Belgrave at around
:09:30. > :09:32.6.30pm yesterday morning. They're continuing to investigate. The man
:09:33. > :09:36.who's been arrested is still being treated in hospital. An inquest into

:09:43. > :09:47.Cunningham died at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire just over two years
:09:48. > :09:50.ago. A colleague said he heard an enormous bang and saw Sean

:09:55. > :09:57.still strapped to his ejector seat. He fell from more than 200 feet and

:10:53. > :10:57.financially things are still very tight. You sit and you look at your

:11:14. > :11:21.charity in Leicester is helping hundreds of families. In 2 #0 it
:11:22. > :11:26.dealt with a total amount of debt of just over ?21 million. Last year it
:11:27. > :11:35.went up to ?24 million. The average debt per client was ?7,500. If a
:11:36. > :11:40.client approaches us for advice for ?25,000 to ?50,000 it doesn't
:11:41. > :11:43.surprise us any more. Back with the Elgar's and the children are now
:11:44. > :11:49.home for school. They are all too aware of the family finances. Well,
:11:50. > :11:53.mummy and daddy have got a little bit angry, it's really hard for
:11:54. > :12:00.them. Not much customers came into the coffee shop. Hopefully, there

:12:26. > :12:37.correspondent, Jeremy Ball, can tell us more. Yes. A lot of people love
:12:38. > :12:41.seeing bobbies on the beat, but if you live in a village did you know
:12:42. > :12:45.that they can travel from their office by bus? Well, the MP John
:12:46. > :12:46.Mann's not happy about it. He says one bobby was stranded for more than
:12:47. > :12:49.an hour 0 one bobby was stranded for more than
:12:50. > :12:52.an hour this week when a bus didn't turn up and he's blaming government
:12:53. > :12:53.cuts. The police are having to patrol villages using public
:12:54. > :12:58.transport, which begs the question I'd like to ask the Prime Minister.
:12:59. > :13:04.If the police are waiting at a bus stop, having arrested someone,
:13:05. > :13:14.should they go upstairs, should they go down stairs, or should they not
:13:15. > :13:17.arrest at all? Ridiculed in parliament, but Nottinghamshire
:13:18. > :13:20.Police told us that, "if therre are arrests to be made, then officers
:13:21. > :13:27.always use police vehicles." Their statement added that, "this is not a
:13:28. > :13:32.reaction to financial cuts." People want to feel safe on the bus. I want
:13:33. > :13:37.police officers to be visible, we are providing more police officers,
:13:38. > :13:46.I want them to be out and about and part of the community. Riding on a
:13:47. > :13:47.bus is part of that. And, it isn't a new idea. 0 0
:13:48. > :13:53.bus is part of that. And, it isn't a new idea. We filmed this bobby in
:13:54. > :13:56.Derbyshire, almost a decade ago. But some officers do worry that it's
:13:57. > :13:59.becoming more common because local police stations are being closed and
:14:00. > :14:01.police cars are being sold. If you're travelling by public
:14:02. > :14:04.transport, particularly out rural, a lot of the criminals travel there by

:14:51. > :14:54.It's a condition which affects millions of people across the
:14:55. > :14:58.country, but academics in Nottingham may have found a way to relieve some
:14:59. > :15:02.of the symptoms. They're leading a clinical trial that'll involve
:15:03. > :15:05.hundreds of children. It's to test whether wearing silk clothing could
:15:06. > :15:12.help with eczema. Navtej Johal reports. For this boy and his mum,
:15:13. > :15:18.treating his severe eczema is often a losing game. You can't always go
:15:19. > :15:22.moaning, you have to act like you are a normal person. In school it's
:15:23. > :15:29.annoying, you are writing sometimes you could get scratchy, drop
:15:30. > :15:33.everything, scrap a bit, you might start bleeding, and have to get
:15:34. > :15:39.cream. It's quite annoying. These clothes are made of specialist silk
:15:40. > :15:44.and will be worn by 300 children as part of a trial led by Dr Kim Thomas
:15:45. > :15:48.to see if they can help manage the condition. Silk clothing is soft and
:15:49. > :15:52.smooth on the skin. There has been some evidence to suggest it might
:15:53. > :15:56.help children with eczema. Certainly to manage their symptoms on a
:15:57. > :16:01.day`to`day basis, help them sleep better and control the itching,
:16:02. > :16:05.which are the main symptoms of eczema. If the clothing was to make
:16:06. > :16:09.him feel more comfortable at night, that would make such a difference.
:16:10. > :16:17.Eczema affects one in five children in the UK. In adults the figure is
:16:18. > :16:23.one in 12. Symptoms include dry, itchy skin that can be triggered by
:16:24. > :16:29.rough fabrics and stress. It would be amazing. I would usually just
:16:30. > :16:33.have nice soft skin, soon I won't seen have eczema any more. The trial
:16:34. > :16:42.will start in November, but a solution couldn't come soon enough
:16:43. > :16:48.for Tamid. What a remarkable boy he is. Earlier I spoke to Margaret Cox
:16:49. > :16:52.of the National Eczema Society. I asked her how valuable this research
:16:53. > :16:57.into silk is. Living with eczema is truly challenging. We really welcome
:16:58. > :17:03.anything that can improve the quality of life for kids with the
:17:04. > :17:07.condition. Be it something as simple as silk or a complex treatment, the
:17:08. > :17:11.more we know how to manage this condition, the better it is. What
:17:12. > :17:16.else seems to cause severe eczema, particularly in children? We don't
:17:17. > :17:16.wholly know what causes eczema, but we do 0
:17:17. > :17:21.wholly know what causes eczema, but we do know that it has a genetic
:17:22. > :17:34.component, but the main culprit for all of us will be soap, changes in
:17:35. > :17:40.temperature and, typically, airborne pollutants, fragrances, pollen. You
:17:41. > :17:44.would say more research is needed? More research genuinely is needed.
:17:45. > :17:48.One in five school children in the UK now have eczema. That is a
:17:49. > :17:52.significant population bearing quite a heavy burden. Most of our
:17:53. > :17:59.treatments are really quite under researched. Yes, we really welcome

:18:45. > :18:49.people are making sure they have a say in where the developments will
:18:50. > :18:53.go. Broughton Astley will become the first village in the East Midlands
:18:54. > :18:57.and one of the very first few in the country to have a referendum on its
:18:58. > :19:02.neighbourhood plan, which is meant to help communities choose where
:19:03. > :19:08.they want services, shops and homes to be built. Will voting at a parish

:19:29. > :19:36.have a vote on the new houses and the impact it will have on the
:19:37. > :19:40.village. It's a good chance to vote. We will be voting. Government
:19:41. > :19:44.minister has visited encouraging people to vote. We want to put power
:19:45. > :19:48.in the hands of real local people. If this particular plan in Broughton
:19:49. > :19:52.Astley goes ahead next week, it will be the seventh in the country. So
:19:53. > :19:55.people here really are at the forefront of shaping what we think
:19:56. > :20:01.is going to be a revolution in local plan making. One week today voters
:20:02. > :20:06.in this Leicestershire village will go to the polls, confident they are
:20:07. > :20:16.playing a part in local democracy, but perhaps unsure exactly how much
:20:17. > :20:21.their vote will be worth. The power of the parish, we shall see. Now a
:20:22. > :20:28.look at the sport. I believe there is a gold medallist with us tonight?
:20:29. > :20:33.Yes. We have an Olympic Champion in the studio on the very day he came

:22:45. > :22:48.for a big 2013 when a shoulder injury struck. Today, a big day for
:22:49. > :22:53.you, back on the water, how did it feel? It was wonderful. I love my
:22:54. > :22:56.sport. Nice to be in my boat with the water underneath me and feeling
:22:57. > :23:01.the grip of the water on my paddle. Perfect. How much of your life is
:23:02. > :23:06.being in the boat? It is my life. It's what I do. It is what I've done
:23:07. > :23:08.for so, so long, missing it for six months, you kind of switch it off.
:23:09. > :23:08.Today it 0 months, you kind of switch it off.

:23:10. > :23:15.Today it switched back on again. It was fantastic to feel that again. It
:23:16. > :23:19.all coped, I hope. We ought to look at the injury. We can see a
:23:20. > :23:22.reconstruction of a previous injury, the same injury, to the other
:23:23. > :23:26.stronghold that happened to you. The repairs you went through, how hard
:23:27. > :23:31.is it when you go through these dislocations? It's challenging for a
:23:32. > :23:35.canoeist, shoulder dislocation is one of the most severe
:23:36. > :23:39.career`threatening injuries you can get. I have suffered one on each
:23:40. > :23:43.side now. I'm getting to be an unwanted expert at dealing with
:23:44. > :23:48.them, but they are challenging, but also they are interesting in its own
:23:49. > :23:52.way. I suppose I'm unlucky, but lucky to go through them. Is your

:23:53. > :23:56.shoulder being stitched up there, is it weird seeing that? It's nasty
:23:57. > :24:01.seeing it floating around. A bit horrible. Shall we talk about the
:24:02. > :24:06.rehab. It's a long, dull process, isn't it? How do you cope as someone
:24:07. > :24:10.who is usually dying to get out in the water? Having a structure and
:24:11. > :24:13.working with the medical team to get the days organised in a structure to
:24:14. > :24:17.what you are doing. You have targets and you are working each day, you
:24:18. > :24:20.are trying to get something to happen by the end of the week.
:24:21. > :24:21.Trying to move it on. It's about the structure. 0
:24:22. > :24:25.Trying to move it on. It's about the structure. We saw your fizz Yeo
:24:26. > :24:28.Gemma Telford there, how important is she? How important are the team
:24:29. > :24:32.around you getting you back on track? The medical team, without
:24:33. > :24:36.them you couldn't do nothing. My shoulder dislocation was traumatic.
:24:37. > :24:40.Very, very messy. If I hadn't had the people around me it would be the
:24:41. > :24:45.same way. There is no way it can fix itself. Gemma and the other medical
:24:46. > :24:48.team, without them literally, I would be nowhere near water here.
:24:49. > :24:52.Rio? 2016 0 would be nowhere near water here.
:24:53. > :24:57.Rio? 2016 is not round the corner, this year, then next year is the
:24:58. > :25:02.pre`Olympic year, 2016 is the Olympic year, when you say it like
:25:03. > :25:08.that, it's not long. This year is getting back on the water, fit, back
:25:09. > :25:12.into racing, set the scene for the pre`Olympic year. That is what I
:25:13. > :25:15.hope to do. Done in getting back on the water and getting through it.
:25:16. > :25:20.Thank you for joining us this evening. Etienne Stott back on the
:25:21. > :25:20.road. Remarkable pictures. Thank you very 0
:25:21. > :25:24.road. Remarkable pictures. Thank you very much indeed both of you. You
:25:25. > :25:31.may be wondering why there are beautiful colours behind us on the
:25:32. > :25:36.screen? Someone can tell us much more about it is Anna out in the
:25:37. > :25:40.cold. Thank you for that. You are right, we do a have a rare
:25:41. > :25:43.opportunity tonight to see the Northern Lights. It is because of a
:25:44. > :25:48.combination of things, firstly there was a mass explosion of particles
:25:49. > :25:54.from the sun a couple of days ago, that, combined with the correct
:25:55. > :26:00.direction of the solar wind and the intensity of that solar window. You
:26:01. > :26:03.might see a green hue in the sky, something spectacular if you are
:26:04. > :26:04.lucky. You do need to be away from any light pollution, the 0
:26:05. > :26:08.lucky. You do need to be away from any light pollution, the higher the
:26:09. > :26:12.ground, the better and looking north. Optimum time to see them
:26:13. > :26:17.tonight will be very late this evening into the early hours of
:26:18. > :26:22.Friday morning. Now, of course if the skies were cloudy it wouldn't be
:26:23. > :26:25.any good, would it? The weather is behaving. We can expect there to be
:26:26. > :26:29.clear spells through the night tonight. But with the clear spells
:26:30. > :26:33.temperatures are dropping really quite quickly. It's very cold out
:26:34. > :26:37.here at the moment. As the temperatures drop to freezing, if
:26:38. > :26:43.not below, there is a risk of ice on untreated road and surfaces. With
:26:44. > :26:46.this in mind the Met office have issued weather warning for ice
:26:47. > :26:50.tonight and into tomorrow morning. At the moment we have clear skies,
:26:51. > :26:50.it's a generally dry evening and night, 0
:26:51. > :26:54.it's a generally dry evening and night, one or two rogue showers may
:26:55. > :26:57.push into the Peak District. Under the clear skies, temperatures will
:26:58. > :27:02.drop down to lows of two degrees in the towns and cities here in the
:27:03. > :27:03.East Midlands. Into rural sheltered spots low enough for a touch of
:27:04. > :27:06.frost and the risk of 0 spots low enough for a touch of
:27:07. > :27:11.frost and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Tomorrow, a
:27:12. > :27:15.bright, cold start, it will become cloudy throughout the day with light
:27:16. > :27:20.patchy rain as we go into the afternoon, highs of seven degrees.
:27:21. > :27:24.That clears away tomorrow night. High pressure will be in charge on
:27:25. > :27:28.Saturday. A perfect winter's day with sunshine around. A cold day on
:27:29. > :27:34.Saturday. We do have the clear skies, good luck if you are hoping
:27:35. > :27:40.to see the Northern Le tonight. You will look out for them? She
:27:41. > :27:41.certainly is. Watch out for the icy patches. That is it from us.
:27:42. > :27:53.Goodbye. TOM: # And if there's
:27:54. > :28:14.anybody left in here # That doesn't want
:28:15. > :28:17.to be out there... #
