:00:09. > :00:17.Tonight: A hospital halts surgery that could help children with

:00:18. > :00:21.cerebral palsy. Shannon had her NHS operation but 30

:00:22. > :00:28.other children will miss out. I thought it was really bad and that

:00:29. > :00:35.other people could not get it was really bad for them to.

:00:36. > :00:39.Also, police carry out raids across counties looking for suspected

:00:40. > :00:44.football hooligans. Plus, the rise and rise of house

:00:45. > :00:47.prices. And what is missing from the House of Lords is asked, apparently?

:00:48. > :00:48.Find 0 House of Lords is asked, apparently?

:00:49. > :01:00.Find out why they later. Good evening. Welcome to Tuesday's

:01:01. > :01:02.programme. First tonight, growing anger and confusion after

:01:03. > :01:07.potentially life changing operations for children were cancelled. The

:01:08. > :01:12.surgery was designed to help children with cerebral palsy walk

:01:13. > :01:17.again. The NHS has apologised for the pain, distress and uncertainty

:01:18. > :01:20.the decision has caused. Tonight the affected families face

:01:21. > :01:25.an agonising wait to see if there's any way that their children can now

:01:26. > :01:29.get the surgery they need. Many fear they'll need to raise thousands to

:01:30. > :01:40.go private. Our Health Correspondent, Rob Sissons reports.

:01:41. > :01:44.Forward, that's it. This boy's family thought he was well on the

:01:45. > :01:49.way to his surgery to help him walk unaided. But Nottingham's Queen's

:01:50. > :01:55.Medical Centre say the spinal operation is no longer routinely

:01:56. > :02:00.funded on the NHS. There is hope there that he could walk, and

:02:01. > :02:06.without the surgery, we question that he will ever do that. In

:02:07. > :02:07.today's balls, the news his mum was dreading, and 29 other families are

:02:08. > :02:10.in the same boat. His 0 dreading, and 29 other families are

:02:11. > :02:16.in the same boat. His operation will not be going ahead on the NHS. The

:02:17. > :02:22.procedure involves cutting nerves around the spine to reduce

:02:23. > :02:25.spasticity. Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre should have stopped

:02:26. > :02:29.doing the operations months ago when NHS England ruled there was not

:02:30. > :02:30.enough evidence of that success. In a statement, NHS England told us

:02:31. > :02:52.they were trying to achieve a: Shannon's family feel lucky. She got

:02:53. > :02:56.her operation four days ago, and the hospitals honouring 18 other

:02:57. > :03:03.children's operations. But to begin with, they had said no. I thought it

:03:04. > :03:03.was really, really bad. And that other people 0

:03:04. > :03:10.was really, really bad. And that other people could not have it it

:03:11. > :03:13.was really bad for them to. I want to do anything I can to help the

:03:14. > :03:23.other children who are not getting the surgery. Days on, they are

:03:24. > :03:27.already noticing improvements. Before the operation, Shannon could

:03:28. > :03:37.not raise her arms. That is brilliant. It is not fantastic for

:03:38. > :03:43.this boy's family. It is quite a big mountain to climb, who knows how

:03:44. > :03:44.long that will take? Families right across the Midlands have had 0

:03:45. > :03:45.long that will take? Families right across the Midlands have had their

:03:46. > :03:47.hopes 0 across the Midlands have had their

:03:48. > :03:50.hopes raised and then dashed. We asked for interviews from both

:03:51. > :03:54.Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre and NHS England and were told no one

:03:55. > :03:58.was available. Tonight there is some hope, talk of NHS England funding

:03:59. > :04:03.some cases, possibly around 100 to be evaluated, but there is no word

:04:04. > :04:06.yet on who might qualify. Police have arrested 26 men in

:04:07. > :04:12.connection with suspected violent disorder that broke out after a

:04:13. > :04:15.football match last year. It happened on the day Nottingham

:04:16. > :04:19.Forest played Derby County in September. This morning, raids took

:04:20. > :04:23.place across three counties in what police say was an almost

:04:24. > :04:32.unprecedented operation. Tom Brown reports.

:04:33. > :04:40.It was barely dawn this morning, and a huge police operation was already

:04:41. > :04:43.underway. Around 100 officers arrived in homes in Nottingham,

:04:44. > :04:47.Derbyshire and Boston in Lincolnshire aiming to arrest 26 men

:04:48. > :04:52.in a series of code needed raids. It was all in rear `` in relation to

:04:53. > :04:59.suspected football related violence. It is the culmination of

:05:00. > :05:04.the investigation that took place in response to a violent disorder that

:05:05. > :05:08.took place in September last year. Since then, a number of people have

:05:09. > :05:13.already been arrested who are currently on bail, and we have been

:05:14. > :05:19.piecing together lots of different strands of intelligence, identifying

:05:20. > :05:25.26 for the people we need to speak to in relation to that disorder. It

:05:26. > :05:35.happened in this village right, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire border.

:05:36. > :05:39.The men arrested today were aged between 16 and 50. The majority were

:05:40. > :05:44.detained in Nottingham, where evidence and statements were taken.

:05:45. > :05:50.This police operation was so big it was partly funded by the Home

:05:51. > :05:57.Office. It is unprecedented. I have not seen, on many occasions, the

:05:58. > :06:02.amount of intelligence gathering and preparation that has taken place in

:06:03. > :06:08.relation to preparing for today's arrest phase. Anyone convicted of

:06:09. > :06:12.football related violence gives the real fans a bad name, the police

:06:13. > :06:16.say. More arrests could follow. Almost 600 affordable homes are to

:06:17. > :06:19.be built in Leicester over the next two years ` as figures today

:06:20. > :06:25.confirmed the average house price in the region stands at a whopping

:06:26. > :06:28.?176,000. The average cost has remained

:06:29. > :06:29.constant for three months in a row, meaning our annual rise hasn't been

:06:30. > :06:33.as sharp as elsewhere. 0 meaning our annual rise hasn't been

:06:34. > :06:36.as sharp as elsewhere. But today one estate suggested the housing market

:06:37. > :06:45.was at the beginning of another boom. Mike O'Sullivan reports.

:06:46. > :06:49.There is a cluster of estate agents on the street in Leicester, one of

:06:50. > :06:53.them saying that the cycle of house price boom is about to start up

:06:54. > :06:59.again. With increases of up to 27% across the country, and here in the

:07:00. > :07:02.East Midlands, up to 7%. We have seen it before, at the beginning of

:07:03. > :07:08.the market you get that kind of gradual steady growth, and as that

:07:09. > :07:15.bubble builds, the increase becomes more rapid. So our house price boom

:07:16. > :07:20.is around the corner? It could be, in my humble opinion. Today the

:07:21. > :07:26.Office for National Statistics said the average price for a house in the

:07:27. > :07:31.East Midlands was ?176,000 last year, unchanged for the third month

:07:32. > :07:36.in a row, there's been a steady 1.9% increase in a year. For this

:07:37. > :07:42.family, who live in social housing, the average price is a figure they

:07:43. > :07:46.just cannot afford. No way, not a chance. There is no way we could

:07:47. > :07:54.afford a new house. Or any sort of house to move into. This is it for

:07:55. > :07:57.us. In Leicester, more affordable homes or on the way. The city

:07:58. > :08:03.council says 600 will be provided in the next couple of years. Wages have

:08:04. > :08:07.not kept up with inflation in house prices, so many people cannot afford

:08:08. > :08:12.to buy. There have always been many people, because of low`income, low

:08:13. > :08:18.wages, disabilities are other reasons, who would never buy. We

:08:19. > :08:20.have got an increase of 31% more buyers, that is a fact. There is

:08:21. > :08:23.more 0 buyers, that is a fact. There is

:08:24. > :08:31.more confidence out there. At the moment, the market is growing. Help

:08:32. > :08:34.is out there for mortgages, but around ?60 million is also being

:08:35. > :08:36.spent on affordable homes in the city. With the money coming from the

:08:37. > :08:43.Council, the government and outside investment.

:08:44. > :08:46.The RSPCA have returned to a field in Leicestershire at the centre of a

:08:47. > :08:51.campaign to move some horses being kept there. People have been at the

:08:52. > :08:54.field near Fosse park protesting that the animals need to be taken

:08:55. > :08:59.somewhere dry. The owner insists he's done nothing wrong and the

:09:00. > :09:01.horses are taken care of. The RSPCA visited today and said afterwards

:09:02. > :09:04.their inspectors had no immediate concerns and the owner was

:09:05. > :09:10.co`operating in mending fences and clearing some litter. They said the

:09:11. > :09:15.horses do have access to dry land and food. One was put down at the

:09:16. > :09:19.weekend, unable to rise from a large puddle of water.

:09:20. > :09:22.A council is defending plans to introduce a two tier rent system

:09:23. > :09:27.which would essemtially give a discount to so`called responsible

:09:28. > :09:31.tenants. Nottingham City Council says the idea is to reward those who

:09:32. > :09:35.play by the rules and pay on time ` while those who don't would pay

:09:36. > :09:39.more. It says it won't disadvantage those who genuinely can't pay.

:09:40. > :09:43.Benefits campaigners in the city though, have called the idea

:09:44. > :09:46.'divisive' and 'unfair'. Nottinghamshire Police are to hold a

:09:47. > :09:52.fortnight long firearms amnesty next month. It's a decade since the last

:09:53. > :09:55.one was held in the county. Officers are asking for people to hand in

:09:56. > :09:59.unlawfully held or unwanted guns and ammunition to stop them getting into

:10:00. > :10:04.the wrong hands. There'll be no questions asked. The amnesty will

:10:05. > :10:07.begin on March third. Still to come: Big changes and big

:10:08. > :10:12.challenges for Mansfield's Golden Girl.

:10:13. > :10:27.Rebecca Adlington talks about her life away from competitive swimming.

:10:28. > :10:32.Before all that, a deafening silence in Parliament's second chamber. A

:10:33. > :10:35.new survey reveals that our voice is going unheard in the House of Lords.

:10:36. > :10:40.The East Midlands has fewer noble Lords and Baronesses than any other

:10:41. > :10:42.part of the UK. Now there are calls for that under`representation to be

:10:43. > :10:52.addressed. Here's our Political Editor John Hess.

:10:53. > :10:57.It was Oscar Wilde who wrote that the House of Lords and never takes

:10:58. > :11:02.into account public opinion. That is why, he says, it is at a civilised

:11:03. > :11:05.body. But a new report suggests Parliament's unelected second

:11:06. > :11:09.chamber is out of touch with many of the regions but the country ``

:11:10. > :11:16.regions of the country, especially the East Midlands. Out of 432

:11:17. > :11:20.working peers, only nine or from the East Midlands. At 2%, that is the

:11:21. > :11:24.lowest representation of any part of the UK. That compares with 4% for

:11:25. > :11:31.the West Midlands and Yorkshire. 11% for the East, and 20% from the

:11:32. > :11:40.south`east. At 24%, peers living in Greater London make up the biggest

:11:41. > :11:47.share. The Bishop of Leicester is one of our handful of peers. There

:11:48. > :11:52.is also lauds Charlie Falk in, a former Lord Chancellor in Tony

:11:53. > :11:59.Blair's government. I'm very conscious listening to the

:12:00. > :12:01.contributions... This baroness, a former BBC head of communications,

:12:02. > :12:13.now a government Environment Minister, and Baroness Lister, a

:12:14. > :12:17.professor of social policy. It is ghastly there are so few peers from

:12:18. > :12:21.East Midlands. I can't think of any sensible explore nation for that.

:12:22. > :12:26.Members of the Lords have no constituency to represent. We are

:12:27. > :12:30.scrutinising legislation, bringing our experience of where we live,

:12:31. > :12:35.what is going on. If a particular region is underrepresented it means

:12:36. > :12:42.that the people bringing knowledge of the effects of legislation in

:12:43. > :12:45.this region are not there. Over the last 100 years, governments have

:12:46. > :12:48.attended to reform the House of Lords. The last attempt a couple of

:12:49. > :12:56.years ago to have direct elections also ended in failure. Would that

:12:57. > :12:59.surprise Oscar Wilde? I think not. Parts of the Elvaston Castle Estate

:13:00. > :13:02.could be taken over by local businesses and organisations.

:13:03. > :13:05.Derbyshire County Council currently spends ?800,000 a year maintaining

:13:06. > :13:12.the 17th century castle and parkland. Now it wants to see if

:13:13. > :13:15.local groups or firms would like to move in to some of the park

:13:16. > :13:19.buildings to help secure the estate's future. It'll be holding

:13:20. > :13:23.open days next month. English Heritage has objected to

:13:24. > :13:26.plans to knock down part of a former Nottinghamshire brewery. Developers

:13:27. > :13:31.want to build 150 homes on the site of an old malt house at Kimberley.

:13:32. > :13:36.It's part of a major redevelopment of the disused brewery site. But

:13:37. > :13:38.English Heritage says the building is listed and the homes will be out

:13:39. > :13:40.of character. 0 is listed and the homes will be out

:13:41. > :13:51.of character. The firm behind the proposals say they're vital for the

:13:52. > :13:55.area's economy. Now to the only hospice of its kind

:13:56. > :13:58.in the East Midlands caring not just for children and young adults but

:13:59. > :14:01.for their families too. This year, Rainbows celebrates it's 20th

:14:02. > :14:04.birthday. For two decades it's given respite, palliative and end of life

:14:05. > :14:06.care. And as Jo Healey reports there's been an awful lot of 0

:14:07. > :14:06.there's been an awful lot of laughter among 0

:14:07. > :14:15.there's been an awful lot of laughter among the tears over the

:14:16. > :14:16.last two decades. It is very, very special place isn't

:14:17. > :14:21.it? It is 0 It is very, very special place isn't

:14:22. > :14:29.it? It is a lifeline for the families and children who come here.

:14:30. > :14:32.Rainbows has been here for two decades, and in that time, it has

:14:33. > :14:36.helped thousands of children and their families. One of them is

:14:37. > :14:44.Chloe, who has been coming for ten years. How important as this place

:14:45. > :14:50.been to Chloe? It has been really important. Rainbows has been a place

:14:51. > :14:55.she can come and have fun and get the support she needs. She gets 16

:14:56. > :15:02.nights of respite care a year, doesn't she? She has had time to

:15:03. > :15:02.recharge your batteries. The staff are 0

:15:03. > :15:08.recharge your batteries. The staff are just amazing. The facilities

:15:09. > :15:17.have improved beyond recognition since it was officially opened by

:15:18. > :15:21.the Prince of Wales. This man was the first child through the doors,

:15:22. > :15:25.he is now 21 years old. At the moment they are supporting around

:15:26. > :15:33.300 children. They are also supporting 250 grieved families. But

:15:34. > :15:37.at all costs ?4.5 million a year just to run. And this, its 20th

:15:38. > :15:45.year, they want to raise an extra ?100,000. We need to provide complex

:15:46. > :15:54.care for our children. We rely a lot more on technology. It is a huge

:15:55. > :16:02.undertaking. But they are rising to the challenge to help children and

:16:03. > :16:05.their families for decades to come. Fantastic.

:16:06. > :16:08.Still to come: A bit of a redesign for the Red Arrows.

:16:09. > :16:10.The new look was unveiled today but you'll have to keep watching to find

:16:12. > :16:11.out exactly what 0 you'll have to keep watching to find

:16:12. > :16:30.out exactly what has changed. You will have to stay watching. Do

:16:31. > :16:34.not go away. I know it is the sport. We have got good stuff too. A lovely

:16:35. > :16:37.interview with Rebecca Adlington on life after sport to come, but we

:16:38. > :16:40.start with current footballing stars. Derby have a match at

:16:41. > :16:43.Sheffield Wednesday tonight which could more than consilidate their

:16:44. > :16:48.place at the top of the table. Natalie Jackson has been looking

:16:49. > :16:51.ahead. If Steve McClaren's Derby County win

:16:52. > :16:55.at Sheffield Wednesday tonight they could go into third place. It is a

:16:56. > :17:00.remarkable rise up the table for the Rams. Over the last five years on

:17:01. > :17:09.average they have finished 15th in the Championship. It is changing the

:17:10. > :17:17.mentor Lydia the players. `` the mentality of the players. Being in

:17:18. > :17:23.this position, what does it take? We have to take the pressure away from

:17:24. > :17:28.them. It is about mentality. Derby have had eight days of rest since

:17:29. > :17:34.their last game. A win which left the players feeling full of

:17:35. > :17:39.confidence and desire. A nice mix of guys in the changing room. Everybody

:17:40. > :17:44.is hungry for success. There are some senior players who have had

:17:45. > :17:51.good success throughout their careers. And young lads who are new

:19:27. > :19:30.Speculation is rife that there midfield could be returning to the

:19:31. > :19:39.club. Loan signings are real possibility. We are missing a number

:19:40. > :19:44.of players. These are key players for Nottingham Forest, good

:19:45. > :19:50.players. I'm sure the manager is looking for a midfielder, but we do

:19:51. > :19:56.not want to bring any player, we want to bring the right player. And

:19:57. > :20:01.despite the injury problems, the chairman is still confident of

:20:02. > :20:12.success. We have 16 games to play. If we win ten games out of the 16, I

:20:13. > :20:18.think we'll do well. We can do this season.

:20:19. > :20:22.Huge ambitions. In other sport, a big night coming up for Nottingham

:20:23. > :20:25.Panthers ` they have a 5`3 lead going into the second leg of their

:20:35. > :20:38.last for Nottingham speed skating star Elise Christie. She's been

:20:39. > :20:40.denied medals in the 500 metre and 1,500m events by controversial

:20:41. > :20:44.judging decisions but skated today in the heats of her favourite 1,000m

:20:45. > :20:48.distance ` and came from fourth to blow the field away in the last

:20:49. > :20:52.three laps. It was a confident return to the ice. And it helped

:20:53. > :21:00.Elise put the earlier events ` and abuse she's had on social media `

:21:01. > :21:06.behind her. It is good that I was out there, everyone has hated me and

:21:07. > :21:09.I did not feel good out there, and it was emotional and stuff. But I

:21:10. > :21:13.have got back out there today knowing that people are helping me

:21:14. > :21:17.get on with things. It is great to get out there and skate again.

:21:18. > :21:21.Also skating today in the 500m heats were Jon Eley and Jack Whelbourne.

:21:22. > :21:23.Jon is safely through, but Jack had a really tough draw and has been

:21:24. > :21:27.knocked out. Now for the second in our series on

:21:35. > :21:38.She's only 25 but already she's got to carve out a whole new career and,

:21:39. > :21:44.as Helen Barnes found out, cope with some big changes to her body.

:21:45. > :21:48.Rebecca 0 some big changes to her body.

:21:49. > :21:53.Rebecca Adlington is Great Britain's most successful ever

:21:54. > :21:59.swimmer. Rebecca Adlington, two gold medals in one Olympic games.

:22:00. > :22:06.Absolutely brilliant. In February 2013 Shirov retired from sport. ``

:22:07. > :22:11.she retired from sport. She moved to the north`west, got herself a new

:22:12. > :22:14.job. Becky has launched a network of swimming schools. She wants to

:22:15. > :22:21.improve her swimming is taught across the country. My ambition is

:22:22. > :22:25.for every child leaving primary school to be able to swim 25 metres.

:22:26. > :22:30.It is one of those things that if you are in a situation, you have to

:22:31. > :22:35.save someone's life, you will not panic if you're confident in water.

:22:36. > :22:41.Becky turned 25 yesterday, and she is loving her new life. It is nice

:22:42. > :22:44.not waking up at quarter past five in the morning. I don't have much

:22:45. > :22:51.routine and structure any more like you do when you are and athlete. It

:22:52. > :22:58.is so relaxed. But there have been some surprises. Now I have lost all

:22:59. > :23:02.my muscle, pretty much. Nothing is toned, everything wobbles. I am

:23:03. > :23:07.like, what is this? Why is that wobbling? That is very different.

:23:08. > :23:13.You kind of expected when you retire, that you just kind of, you

:23:14. > :23:17.will never be as fit as you are in that moment when you are competing.

:23:18. > :23:22.You will never be that body shape again, because that body, for me, I

:23:23. > :23:30.am so grateful for my body in many ways because it has gotten me to

:23:31. > :23:35.four Olympic medals. Please welcome the incredible Becky Adlington.

:23:36. > :23:42.Those medals put Becky in the media spotlight. I wondered how she feels

:23:43. > :23:47.now about being so famous. It is crazy to me. I have never had a

:23:48. > :23:53.desire to be famous. I would prefer to be with my family and friends and

:23:54. > :24:04.do nothing. I know exactly how she feels. I don't know how I cope if I

:24:05. > :24:09.lost this tone and body. Dominik said earlier the reason he

:24:10. > :24:15.never went into sport was the feeling of not being toned. Anyway,

:24:16. > :24:18.this summer The Red Arrows celebrate their 50th year of aerobatic

:24:19. > :24:20.displays ` displays which have taken the Lincolnshire based team around

:24:21. > :24:23.the world. And to mark the anniversary the

:24:24. > :24:26.pilots and their engineers, known as the Blues, unveiled a new paint

:24:27. > :24:31.scheme at their RAF Scampton base. Gemma Dawson was there.

:24:32. > :24:40.Unveiling their new look, and it is up to the Blues to reveal the Red

:24:41. > :24:45.Arrows' anniversary tail fin. I always had an idea for a union Jack

:24:46. > :24:50.on the tail. The engineers came up with the final design. I was really

:24:51. > :24:59.impressed with it. The tale features the Hawk and the Nat. Red Arrows,

:25:00. > :25:09.marking the opening of the 19 six D5 season of aerobatic display. ``

:25:10. > :25:14.1965. The way we operate as a team is similar to how we did years ago.

:25:15. > :25:21.It is a huge privilege to be on the team in this 50th year. For some of

:25:22. > :25:32.the pilots, their first glimpse of the paint's new look. On the 50th

:25:33. > :25:36.season, it is even more impressive. Knowing that is going to be on the

:25:37. > :25:41.back of the aircraft I am lying. This one is getting its make over

:25:42. > :25:43.today. And over the next few days, all of the aeroplanes should be

:25:44. > :25:45.ready for the Red 0 all of the aeroplanes should be

:25:46. > :25:56.ready for the Red Arrows' 50th display season.

:25:57. > :26:03.Nice tail. It was edging stuff. Anyway, it is

:26:04. > :26:09.time for the weather forecast. Sadly.

:26:10. > :26:15.There is good news in the forecast, at last. It has been quieter for us

:26:16. > :26:23.today, and that quieter weather has enticed you out. A beautiful carpet

:26:24. > :26:27.of snowdrops here. Do not be shy. Send in your weather pictures. The

:26:28. > :26:33.next 24 hours is staying fairly quiet. In between these weather

:26:34. > :26:38.systems. This one is heading in for Thursday. Tomorrow, very quiet,

:26:39. > :26:42.dry, bright, there will be sunshine around. We are still on the mild

:26:43. > :26:47.side, temperatures will peak into double figures. We have had some

:26:48. > :26:51.showers around today. They are starting to fade, so it is a dry

:26:52. > :26:55.night, clear spells developing through tonight, light winds as

:26:56. > :27:02.well. It will be a little chilly tonight. We will keep frost away,

:27:03. > :27:05.lows of three or four Celsius. Tomorrow will start off bright, some

:27:06. > :27:11.spells of sunshine, cloud will thicken up through the morning, that

:27:12. > :27:13.may squeeze a very light shower. By the afternoon, sunshine should come

:27:14. > :27:21.back again, decent breaks in the cloud. Light winds, it will feel

:27:22. > :27:24.pleasant, nine or 10 Celsius. It may actually feel springlike later on,

:27:25. > :27:28.dare I say it. But it is not going to last. That weather front is

:27:29. > :27:32.zooming in for Wednesday night. That will be with us through Thursday. We

:27:33. > :27:39.are back to cloudy, damp and breezy on Thursday.

:27:40. > :27:43.Tomorrow is looking lovely. I am going to love it. It might change by

:27:44. > :27:48.Thursday. Goodbye.
