Nugent And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn. | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
First tonight, how a eye test became a life saver. Stephen Trower from | :00:26. | :00:26. | |

Derby was 0 a life saver. Stephen Trower from | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
Derby was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer after his optometrist | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
spotted a tiny bleed at the back of his eye, during a routine check up. | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
Geeta Pendse reports. 0 It is two years since Steve had his | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
last I scan at this opticians. He thought it was a regular checkup but | :00:46. | :00:57. | |
the optometrist picked up on a tiny tear. You can see a tiny haemorrhage | :00:58. | :01:05. | |
the optometrist spotted. It was because of this that Steve's GP | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
recommended a blood test. If I had not come here for an eye test, I do | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
not know what would have happened. I was getting more lethargic. But I | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
put it down to advancing years, working hard. You would not | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
instantly think cancer. Steve was diagnosed with a rare form of bone | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
marrow cancer. The severity of the illness was a surprise for the | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
optometrist too. Most commonly when you see something like that, you | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
would be thinking more along the lines of diabetes or high blood | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
pressure. Steve came and told us what happened and we were surprised. | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
Back at work as a local plumber after intense treatment, Steve says | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
he is now on the road to recovery. It is a great feeling that I am | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
alive, happy, well and getting on with my life. Thanks to the | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
optometrist. In the past, Steve had left a decade before visiting the | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
optician. He is encouraging people to book in for a regular checkup. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
A teenager has been jailed for three years for the manslaughter of his | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
best friend who was found dead in his burnt`out car. Ryan Morrell had | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
fallen asleep in the car after attending the Fristock festival near | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
Melton Mowbray last July. 18`year`old Jack Buckley | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
accidentally started a fire when he dropped his lighter. He didn't know | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
anyone was in the car, but failed to raise the alarm. | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
Another round of big budget cuts and job losses have been approved by one | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
of the region's county councils. The Conservative leadership at | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
Leicestershire's County Hall says it has to find savings of ?110 million | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
over the next few years. Among those who'll feel the impact of the cuts | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
is Snibston Museum and Visitor Centre at Coalville. Its funding is | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
being cut by a third. Now to the Army reservists from | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Loughborough and Grantham who are playing a vital role in transporting | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
supplies in 0 playing a vital role in transporting | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
supplies in Afghanistan. The drivers regularly run the gauntlet of deadly | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
roadside bombs. Our social affairs correspondent Jeremy Ball reports | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
from Helmand province. Imagine getting stuck behind this | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
lot when you are trying to get to work. More than 50 heavily armoured | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
trucks travelling in convoy. On this patrol, the reservist from | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
Leicestershire whose day job is delivering clothes. The chance to | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
get away from the traffic jams and face different challenges. It is | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
small arms fire and IEDs. Because of the armour on 0 | :03:52. | :03:51. | |
small arms fire and IEDs. Because of the armour on the vehicle, we are | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
pretty much protected from everything. They are collecting | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
sensitive equipment. That makes these patrols a prime target for the | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
Taliban. That is why these huge vehicles are pushing rollers in | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
front of them. They are designed to take the force of a blast. The | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
protection is so good that hundreds of British soldiers have survived | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
IED strikes. The latest threat they face is a pillow IED, a sack full of | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
explosives that is thrown under the vehicle. An occupation hazard for | :04:25. | :04:38. | |
this man. I was not expecting the bang. Some people wave at you. Some | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
people throw stones at you. What has surprised you? The Way they live, | :04:46. | :04:54. | |
the way they drive, it is quite mad. As this mission comes to an end, the | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
Army is becoming increasingly reliant on its reservists. | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
Sport now and the East Midlands derby between Nottingham Forest and | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
Leicester has been a dramatic one tonight. There was four goals, a | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
penalty and a sending off. Kirsty Edwards has been following all the | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
twists and turns. The big East Midlands derby has | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
finished at the city ground, to all the final score. In front of almost | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
25,000 fans. `` two all. Leicester City took the lead just before the | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
half`hour mark. Defensive indecision saw the keeper punched the ball away | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
and it fell to the striker who coolly slotted the ball into the | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
net. Forrest equalised minutes later. Jamie Patterson put the ball | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
into the net for his third goal in as many games. Then Nottingham | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
Forest took the lead just before half`time. This time a penalty given | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
away by the Leicester captain. Andy Reid stepped up and slotted the | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
penalty away. More drama was to follow in the second half. Leicester | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
City found themselves down to ten men. A red card but Paul Konchesky | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
for a foul. But there was another goal in the second half, another | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
penalty. Kevin Phillips stepped up to take it and saw his spot kick | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
saved, but the rebound fell to the substitute who tucked the ball away. | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
It finished 2`2 at the city ground in the East Midlands derby. | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
