:00:00. > :00:08.This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and me, Anne Davies.

:00:09. > :00:21.Tonight ` train bosses apologise for a broken promise of faster journeys

:00:22. > :00:26.to London. They organised this photo opportunity knowing they could not

:00:27. > :00:34.deliver quicker journeys. 15 arrests in Derby as police seized drugs and

:00:35. > :00:38.suspected dangerous dogs. Plus, the streamlining of local government in

:00:39. > :00:46.Leicestershire but will it really deliver on big savings? And could

:00:47. > :00:52.these DIY defences make sandbags obsolete? It is so much quicker. One

:00:53. > :01:02.person could do it instead of the army doing it currently.

:01:03. > :01:06.Hello and welcome to the programme. First tonight, the passengers

:01:07. > :01:09.furious at what they call 'broken promises'. In December, East

:01:10. > :01:12.Midlands Trains announced faster links with London. But it's emerged

:01:13. > :01:17.it made those promises knowing it may not be able to deliver. It

:01:18. > :01:21.discovered, just before the launch, that Network Rail hadn't finished

:01:22. > :01:24.work on the line. But the announcement to passengers still

:01:25. > :01:29.went ahead and rather than faster links, some passengers are suffering

:01:30. > :01:44.delays. Jo Healey's at Derby Station. What's the background to

:01:45. > :01:50.this? Yes, hello. Two months ago in December on Derby station there was

:01:51. > :01:52.quite a fanfare, the Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin

:01:53. > :01:58.announced a new faster link to London, trains could travel at 125

:01:59. > :02:03.miles an hour knocking four minutes of the journey from Derby. But, two

:02:04. > :02:07.weeks 0 of the journey from Derby. But, two

:02:08. > :02:12.weeks before the announcement East Midlands Trains knew that network

:02:13. > :02:15.rail had not completed crucial work on the line. Effectively, at times

:02:16. > :02:20.slamming some of 0 on the line. Effectively, at times

:02:21. > :02:24.slamming some of the trains. Last week East Midlands Trains talked of

:02:25. > :02:30.network rail's failure to deliver the promised line speed improvement

:02:31. > :02:34.on time. They say they underestimated the scale of the

:02:35. > :02:42.work. It was, they said, completely unacceptable. This is what some

:02:43. > :02:47.passengers told us. My last several journeys have been late which is an

:02:48. > :02:53.issue if you have connections and meetings. Everyday I come to this

:02:54. > :02:59.train, it is always ten minutes late. It is normally on time and

:03:00. > :03:04.also coming back from London. It is annoying because I had to catch a

:03:05. > :03:09.connecting bus in Leicester. There was a new `` a united front

:03:10. > :03:17.from both companies apologising but insisting they are small. Look at

:03:18. > :03:21.this. It is a record, one passenger kept in January systematically

:03:22. > :03:27.logging had delays between East Midlands and London. At its worst,

:03:28. > :03:32.trains were cancelled, many many trains were a number of minutes late

:03:33. > :03:39.and in one case there was a half an hour delay. She is furious.

:03:40. > :03:43.Passengers were told to December there would be faster links even

:03:44. > :03:50.though East Midlands Trains and Network Rail knew they may not be

:03:51. > :03:53.able to deliver. We have had what East Midlands Trains said but have

:03:54. > :03:57.they given an explanation as to why they went ahead with the

:03:58. > :04:03.announcement in December? Yes, they have said they went ahead

:04:04. > :04:08.thinking they could mitigate some of the delays so presumably hoping no

:04:09. > :04:14.one would notice but they were caught out by some factors including

:04:15. > :04:17.the bad weather we have been having. The managing directors have

:04:18. > :04:24.apologised again to passengers, they say most of the work should be done

:04:25. > :04:29.by April after that the timetable they promised in December would

:04:30. > :04:35.finally be up and running just four month late.

:04:36. > :04:40.We will leave it there. Coming up. More wild weather on the way. Kaye

:04:41. > :04:45.has the latest details. Yes, everything being thrown at us, the

:04:46. > :04:45.snow and rain and wind. Join me for the 0

:04:59. > :05:01.Sixteen people have been arrested during a series of drugs raids in

:05:02. > :05:04.Derby. Residents say their lives had been made a misery in recent months

:05:05. > :05:07.with drug dealing openly taking place near their homes. And as well

:05:08. > :05:11.as suspected drugs, officers today also seized four dogs, which it's

:05:12. > :05:18.thought could be banned under Dangerous Dogs legislation. From

:05:19. > :05:21.Derby, Simon Hare reports. It has been six months of evidence

:05:25. > :05:28.gathering. An early morning briefing for a police operation to tackling

:05:29. > :05:33.organised crime gang in Derby. For those who do not work the area, if

:05:34. > :05:41.they see you walking around, they will intimidate you.

:05:42. > :05:46.Let's support the teams. A dozen homes in the Peartree area city was

:05:47. > :05:51.searched, officers using a sniffer dog recovered suspected class a and

:05:52. > :05:59.class B drugs and stolen property. 16 people were arrested, among them

:06:00. > :06:03.three women. One of them was taken in for questioning by officers from

:06:04. > :06:08.the National Crime Agency. Residents were too nervous to appear on

:06:09. > :06:11.camera. One man said living in the area was a living hell. And a woman

:06:14. > :06:16.said the area had become dangerous Jude to the amount of drug dealing

:06:17. > :06:25.taking place. People have been complaining ``

:06:26. > :06:32.Chivu to the amount of drug dealing. The impact on the local community

:06:33. > :06:35.has been unbearable for them and frustrating.

:06:36. > :06:39.I understand the frustration because they see the drug dealing going on

:06:40. > :06:44.and they think what are we doing, what are the police doing but today

:06:45. > :06:48.is to show we have been doing something in the background. Four

:06:49. > :06:52.dogs are suspected of being banned and the Dangerous Dogs Act were also

:06:53. > :06:55.recovered. Tonight, 15 of the 16 people

:06:56. > :07:05.arrested were still being questioned.

:07:06. > :07:08.A Sikh spiritual leader has told a court that allegations that he

:07:09. > :07:11.sexually abused a man who attacked him with an axe "are totally

:07:12. > :07:14.absurd." Harjit Singh Toor from Oadby alleges the abuse took place

:07:15. > :07:18.on a number of occasions at his uncle's house in India when he was a

:07:19. > :07:27.boy. Here's our Chief News reporter Quentin Rayner.

:07:28. > :07:34.The allegations against his Holiness date back 20 years before he became

:07:35. > :07:38.spiritual leader. Harjit Singh Toor claims the abuse took place when he

:07:39. > :07:43.was seven years old at celebrations at his uncles house in the Punjab

:07:44. > :07:50.attended by hundreds. In court, his Holiness gave evidence by video link

:07:51. > :07:53.and he repeatedly denied ever visiting the house or the village.

:07:54. > :07:58.He told the court I have never met him and there is no question of

:07:59. > :08:03.touching him. The defence then suggested at the time of the alleged

:08:04. > :08:07.abuse he told the seven`year`old Harjit Singh Toor not to say

:08:08. > :08:11.anything to anybody and the Guru replied it isn't true. When asked by

:08:12. > :08:16.the prosecution if there was a word of truth to the serious sexual

:08:17. > :08:23.allegations, the Guru told the court absolutely none. It is absurd.

:08:24. > :08:29.Earlier, the Guru described how he had not suspected anything in the

:08:30. > :08:33.temple, he made a swing targeting my head with an axe, I lifted my arm

:08:34. > :08:49.and felt pain. There was a lot of blood. Harjit Singh Toor denies

:08:50. > :08:52.attempted murder but admits GBH. An American clothing company is

:08:53. > :08:54.creating more than 150 jobs in Nottingham at a new customer service

:08:55. > :08:57.centre. VF Corporation owns brands including

:08:58. > :09:01.The North Face and Lee and Wrangler jeans. It's now recruiting staff for

:09:02. > :09:04.a new office on the NG2 Business Park. The firm already employs more

:09:05. > :09:07.than 200 people at the Wrangler UK base in Calverton.

:09:08. > :09:10.There's anger at a decision to spend sixty five thousand pounds of public

:09:11. > :09:12.money sending Nottingham City Council delegates to the French

:09:13. > :09:15.Riviera. Council representatives are attending the Annual International

:09:16. > :09:18.Property Fair in Cannes. They say it's an opportunity to attract

:09:19. > :09:21.investment. Critics argue it's a waste of taxpayers' money, at a time

:09:22. > :09:31.of budget cuts. For the past three years, the cost of the trip's been

:09:32. > :09:34.met by private backers. Scrapping district councils in one of our

:09:35. > :09:38.counties and merging them into one single, big authority, could save

:09:39. > :09:42.around 30 million pounds a year, and cut council tax according to an

:09:43. > :09:45.independent report. It would mean the biggest shake`up

:09:46. > :09:48.in the structure of local government for decades. But could it also help

:09:49. > :09:58.councils struggling to balance their budgets. Our political editor John

:09:59. > :10:03.Hess has more details. Sensing the bins is one of the most

:10:04. > :10:09.valued of local services but is it time to tidy up the council to an

:10:10. > :10:13.merge them? In Leicestershire, seven district councils and the County

:10:14. > :10:18.Council. Accountants suggest replacing them all with one powerful

:10:19. > :10:23.unitary authority. The report was commissioned by a politician, the

:10:24. > :10:26.leader of Conservative run Leicestershire.

:10:27. > :10:30.If you believe the Chancellor going forward in the next ten years, the

:10:31. > :10:34.savings are only going to get greater. Maybe the time has come for

:10:35. > :10:40.a sensible debate about local government.

:10:41. > :10:45.The report targets duplication, eight chief executives and 19

:10:46. > :10:49.directors, merging those posts could save ?15 million. Merging the

:10:50. > :10:55.district and county into one would save 31 point formerly an pounds

:10:56. > :11:00.annually. Setting up the new council would cost ?13 million, says the

:11:01. > :11:04.report but the move would cut council tax. And with the merger,

:11:05. > :11:09.the number of councillors would be cut from 316 to 100.

:11:10. > :11:14.Even if Leicestershire vote for unitary status, the council chamber

:11:15. > :11:17.here would have to be expanded to take more councillors to ensure

:11:18. > :11:21.there was fair representation. For the district councils, the district

:11:22. > :11:24.`` is it a cut too 0 the district councils, the district

:11:25. > :11:28.`` is it a cut too far? The leader of one of the smaller councils

:11:29. > :11:35.speaks out. You end up way Wah with less

:11:36. > :11:35.representation and less ability to connect 0

:11:36. > :11:38.representation and less ability to connect with people.

:11:39. > :11:42.County Hall Tories say it isn't a grab for cash or power but it may

:11:43. > :11:49.take more than a chocolate cupcake for this council leader.

:11:50. > :11:52.A Nottingham mother whose four`year`old child has had major

:11:53. > :11:56.open`heart surgery three times is calling for more to be done to raise

:11:57. > :11:58.awareness of the problem. Her son, who was born with a congenital heart

:11:59. > :12:11.defect, faces an uncertain future. When this four`year old grows up, he

:12:12. > :12:17.wants to race cars. But for now running around is a dangerous

:12:18. > :12:22.activity. You probably can't tell but Harvey was born with a

:12:23. > :12:23.congenital heart defect which means the right side of his heart doesn't

:12:24. > :12:25.work 0 the right side of his heart doesn't

:12:26. > :12:32.work so the left works twice as hard. He already has had three major

:12:33. > :12:37.surgeries. Eventually, he may need a transplant if he has delivered past

:12:38. > :12:43.his 20s. For him, it is normal, makes no difference but as he gets

:12:44. > :12:47.older he will face problems and arguments when he wants to play

:12:48. > :12:51.football and do the things other kids are doing which will be risky.

:12:52. > :12:58.The prognosis is guarded, they don't like to say what the future holds,

:12:59. > :13:01.the only certainty is uncertainty with heart conditions.

:13:02. > :13:08.Somebody in every 20 families is affected. It is time`consuming,

:13:09. > :13:12.heart`rending, it is expensive. It's expensive for the families and the

:13:13. > :13:19.NHS. It is hoped by raising awareness kids like Harvey are able

:13:20. > :13:28.to stay their feet. Good luck to him. How early can

:13:29. > :13:30.doctors find out if a child has a heart defect?

:13:31. > :13:36.Increasingly they find out in the womb, at the 20 week scan or

:13:37. > :13:41.sometimes earlier. That allows doctors to identify the most serious

:13:42. > :13:46.problems. They found out about Harvey's condition when she was

:13:47. > :13:49.pregnant and he was operated on at a day old. Had it not been picked up

:13:50. > :13:55.then, he would not have survived. And what options are available for

:13:56. > :13:58.treating the problem? Surgery, keyhole intervention, medical

:13:59. > :14:02.treatment but in some cases treatments are not needed for many

:14:03. > :14:08.years. There is no magic here. Patients often come back, they need

:14:09. > :14:15.treatment and work later on and also the consultant said they are

:14:16. > :14:20.continually surprised that some people often live veritably

:14:21. > :14:26.healthily into adult hood. Let's keep our fingers crossed for Harvey.

:14:27. > :14:29.A Nottingham head teacher says keeping young people safe online is

:14:30. > :14:32.an impossible issue but one that needs to be tackled.

:14:33. > :14:35.His comments came on Safer Internet Day ` a world`wide event to

:14:36. > :14:37.encourage more responsible use of the web. To coincide with the event,

:14:39. > :14:41.Bramcote College hosted BBC Radio five Live and Radio 1 for a special

:14:42. > :14:50.Safety Summit. Our reporter Eleanor Garnier has been finding out how it

:14:51. > :14:54.went. Tuesday the 11th of February, all

:15:04. > :15:06.easier than putting it into practice.

:15:07. > :15:12.Students here think the way it is taught needs to be better.

:15:13. > :15:16.We should adapt more lessons, bring in people more specific to teach it

:15:17. > :15:24.and raise awareness. We need to adapt to the internet rather than

:15:25. > :15:29.running from it and being scared. You can find out... If we had more

:15:30. > :15:32.education and teachers gave a small support it would definitely help the

:15:33. > :15:41.younger children especially. There is so much danger, people can

:15:42. > :15:46.get hurt. Girls especially can get predators on there. It is important

:16:02. > :16:05.says staff and parents need to get up to speed.

:16:06. > :16:09.It is an impossible issue because as adults we are always learning from

:16:10. > :16:14.the students about what is out there, you only have to see the news

:17:30. > :17:32.with Colin. Forest play tonight ` they're coming up ` but we start

:17:33. > :17:36.with Derby's thrilling win over Queens Park Rangers last night which

:17:37. > :17:39.has blown apart the top of the Championship table. With two teams

:17:40. > :17:41.automatically going up, the win leaves Derby a point from second

:17:42. > :17:45.place. The result strengthens Leicester's position at the top. And

:17:46. > :17:49.it also opens the door for Forest who are hovering waiting for others

:17:50. > :17:52.to fail. It meant so much for the Rams ` and it really was quite a

:17:53. > :17:54.night at the Ipro Stadium. Mark Shardlow was there.

:17:55. > :17:55.Get ready for the 0 Shardlow was there.

:17:56. > :17:58.Get ready for the ride. 0 Shardlow was there.

:17:59. > :18:03.Get ready for the ride. The derby win means all sorts of things with

:18:04. > :18:07.them, for Leicester and forest. QPR have the meanest defence in the

:18:08. > :18:07.championship but it could have been broken in the 0

:18:08. > :18:14.championship but it could have been broken in the first minute. As the

:18:15. > :18:22.Rams put on the pressure, they almost fluked a goal. The

:18:23. > :18:30.clearance... When it finally came, the goal was a rarity. I had the

:18:31. > :18:35.second in a Rams shirt for him. QPR protested but this was going to be

:18:36. > :18:40.Derby's night. Their first win against the top 16 this season.

:18:41. > :18:46.Derby had plenty of defending to do and the keeper was at his best. The

:18:47. > :18:51.work was tireless. For 90 minutes they did everything needed to keep a

:18:52. > :18:55.clean sheet and claim the points. Even if at times it was unbearably

:18:56. > :19:00.tense. The fourth official decided they had to do it for another five

:19:01. > :19:05.minutes, bring on more agony, more worried and finally relief. The

:19:06. > :19:09.final whistle brought what Steve McClaren says was his finest victory

:19:10. > :19:13.at Derby whilst others are talking about automatic promotion, he is

:19:14. > :19:18.looking at the finish in the top six and the play`offs. We are looking at

:19:19. > :19:25.seventh position and how many points they have got and so that if the

:19:26. > :19:33.target at the present moment. Burnley, QPR, Leicester, they have

:19:34. > :19:37.the experience. Derby are a point behind QPR, but Sharon began the

:19:38. > :19:44.season as a coach, he could defy the odds by ending the season above them

:19:45. > :19:45.in the league. Nottingham Forest can go within a 0

:19:46. > :19:48.in the league. Nottingham Forest can go within a point of Derby if they

:19:49. > :19:51.win at Huddersfield tonight. They're looking to extend their unbeaten run

:19:52. > :19:53.to a remarkable 16 games. Kirsty Edwards has been to see a man whose

:19:54. > :20:10.goals could be key. He scored eight goals so far this

:20:11. > :20:12.season and he has helped the red go on impressive run. 50 games without

:20:13. > :20:27.defeat `` 15. Simon Cox is loving life at Forest,

:20:28. > :20:32.he has eclipsed last seasons goal tally having only started in 20

:20:33. > :20:38.games. I had a couple of injuries which I am over now which is good.

:20:39. > :20:42.I feel like I am getting back to what I thought was my best. While

:20:43. > :20:49.the striking injury problems are behind him, the same can't be said

:20:50. > :20:55.for a number of his team mates, the captain Chris keirin, the defender

:20:56. > :20:58.and more recently Henry Lansbury and David Vaughan have picked up

:20:59. > :21:06.long`term injuries. Big players for us, influential

:21:07. > :21:10.players. But like I say, it is about the squad game and when one goes

:21:11. > :21:15.down, someone steps in and it gives someone else an opportunity to show

:21:16. > :21:20.what they can do. We are still buoyant and happy and smiles on the

:21:21. > :21:22.faces. We feel we can go anywhere at any point and get a 0

:22:53. > :22:56.Some really dramatic pictures here. Of course, the East Midlands isn't

:24:32. > :24:37.barriers, none of them have flooded. They have been protected. The six

:24:38. > :24:41.properties with the water gates have been fine and protected. I feel much

:24:42. > :24:51.more reassured because when the barrier is in place we know we are

:27:34. > :27:40.quieter but more wet and windy weather to come for the weekend. It
