:00:16. > :00:19.With your news now for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn. A

:00:20. > :00:23.two`year`old girl who's been fighting a rare form of cancer since

:00:24. > :00:26.she was just 11 months old is to undergo specialist treatment

:00:27. > :00:30.overseas. It's hoped it'll not only save her life but her face. Bethany

:00:31. > :00:43.and her family leave for America on Tuesday. Tom Brown's been to meet

:00:44. > :00:46.them. Daddy, mummy, Bethany. Four`year`old Kane knows how

:00:47. > :00:54.important families, especially after his little sister, Bethany, was

:00:55. > :00:59.diagnosed with cancer. I was scared. When Bethany was sick.

:01:00. > :01:03.Bethany has a rare muscle tumour in her left cheek. If she were to have

:01:04. > :01:07.it removed here, she could lose most of the left side of her face and an

:01:08. > :01:12.eye. And now the NHS is flying Bethany and her parents to America.

:01:13. > :01:17.There, they offer proton beam radiotherapy, a more controlled and

:01:18. > :01:22.more effective treatment. You can almost see the light at the end of

:01:23. > :01:29.the tunnel. Hopefully this is finishing it off, and we will come

:01:30. > :01:35.back and that is it hopefully done. She is the 220th child to be sent

:01:36. > :01:40.out to America for this treatment. They've had no comeback of a child

:01:41. > :01:45.that has had a relapse. And Kane will be there, too. After the

:01:46. > :01:49.charity, kids in cancer, and the local Stableford community, all

:01:50. > :01:53.chipped in to play for his bride. That was the biggest weight off our

:01:54. > :02:02.shoulders. Worrying about getting the money to make sure he could come

:02:03. > :02:05.with us and not with the family was one of the most important things.

:02:06. > :02:08.Will you be happy to be there with her? Guess, because I'm her brother.

:02:09. > :02:12.I keep an eye on her. The family leave on Tuesday to begin the 12

:02:13. > :02:16.weeks of treatment that could mark the end of Bethany's cancer ordeal.

:02:17. > :02:19.A house in Leicester has been cordoned off by police for most of

:02:20. > :02:22.today. It's after three men were found with injuries in Rowan Street

:02:23. > :02:26.late last night. Two had been stabbed, one had a fractured rib.

:02:27. > :02:29.All three were arrested, one remains in hospital tonight. The owner of

:02:30. > :02:33.Britain's biggest private aquarium says he has to get rid of his exotic

:02:34. > :02:36.fish because he can't afford the electricity. Jack Heathcote built

:02:37. > :02:39.the tank ten years ago in his basement. Although the ?11,000 bill

:02:40. > :02:49.has been reduced, he's now refusing to pay, as Quentin Rayner reports.

:02:50. > :02:54.Few of us will forget Jack swimming with his tropical fish in the

:02:55. > :02:59.basement of his home. At 20,000 litres, it Britain's biggest private

:03:00. > :03:04.aquarium. But heating and filtering the water now costs ?16,000 a year.

:03:05. > :03:09.So the exotic fish have to be sold or given away and replaced by cold

:03:10. > :03:15.water river fish to slash the electricity bill. It's a tremendous

:03:16. > :03:19.blow. It's really cut me up. I went to great lengths to provide a

:03:20. > :03:24.spacious, suitable home for these creatures and now I've got to get

:03:25. > :03:29.rid. Jack thought he was budgeting correctly, but a misreading of the

:03:30. > :03:35.meter meant he initially faced and ?11,000 arrears bill from British

:03:36. > :03:38.Gas, which has since been amended to around ?4500. And really angry

:03:39. > :03:41.because the way they've behaved is atrocious. They should have

:03:42. > :03:47.recognised that they've made the mistake and been apologetic for that

:03:48. > :03:50.and not be trying to charge me this enormous bill. British Gas says Mr

:03:51. > :03:55.Heathcote hasn't paid anything for months, despite offering him options

:03:56. > :03:58.to pay the outstanding debt, and they sent him accurate meter

:03:59. > :04:01.readings. Jack is appealing against the arrears bill. British Gas is now

:04:02. > :04:05.threatening disconnection. To football, and none of our teams saw

:04:06. > :04:11.defeat in the league this weekend. With the round`up, here's Kirsty.

:04:12. > :04:16.Leicester City were 2`0 down to Watford before Mattie James reduced

:04:17. > :04:21.the deficit just before the break. They dominated possession but looked

:04:22. > :04:25.to be heading for defeat until Danny Drinkwater's unstoppable shot. It

:04:26. > :04:29.rescued a point in the dying moments to leave them 11 points clear at the

:04:30. > :04:33.top. Nottingham Forest are now unbeaten in their last 15 but had to

:04:34. > :04:38.settle for a point at Blackpool. This goal looked like it might be

:04:39. > :04:45.enough for the win, but with just four minutes to go, Andy Keogh's

:04:46. > :04:50.header left Forest frustrated. Notts County were against and inform

:04:51. > :04:55.Coventry. Aidan Mullins opened the scoring before a stunning strike

:04:56. > :04:59.from James Spencer. The win was then wrapped up with a penalty. Mansfield

:05:00. > :05:05.town hadn't had a home win since September until yesterday. They were

:05:06. > :05:06.set on their way against Southend, with James Jennings making sure of

:05:07. > :05:20.all three points. After a showery day, our next

:05:21. > :05:23.concern is ice as the temperatures start to drop away. The Met Office

:05:24. > :05:28.has got a yellow warning in place. There are still one or two showers

:05:29. > :05:33.around this evening, but it is going to dry up. The skies were clear, the

:05:34. > :05:38.temperatures will drop away. We are expecting a frost as we start the

:05:39. > :05:42.new week. But tomorrow is a much more settled day. The winds will be

:05:43. > :05:46.much lighter. There will be some light showers around which may turn

:05:47. > :05:50.a bit win to reach, particularly over the higher ground. It will feel

:05:51. > :05:57.quite cold with highs of around six Celsius. There's more wet and windy

:05:58. > :05:59.weather to come on Tuesday. I will have more for you at 10:15pm.

:06:00. > :06:16.Goodbye. Good evening. We have a significant

:06:17. > :06:22.number of severe warnings out. Most of them have been issued on the

:06:23. > :06:23.River Thames today. Now, of course, with more rain due this
