:00:00. > :00:09.This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and me, Anne Davies.
:00:10. > :00:14.Tonight, the tragic death of a baby at the hands of her mentallx
:00:15. > :00:19.disturbed mother. Amy Black killed the child just
:00:20. > :00:24.hours after police requested an emergency visit by social workers.
:00:25. > :00:31.Also tonight, the council is owed millions in rent. It is clahmed the
:00:32. > :00:36.bedroom tax is to blame. Accrual policy means taxpayers
:00:37. > :00:41.across`the`board lose out. Plus a council slams plans for a slower
:00:42. > :00:45.speed limit on the M1. And ht was the gift 100 years ago. Why this
:00:46. > :00:56.organ is now one of the hall's most treasured possessions.
:00:57. > :01:01.Good evening. First tonight, an investigation's under way after a
:01:02. > :01:11.mother admitted killing her baby daughter when the balance of her
:01:12. > :01:14.mind was disturbed. She had not fully recovered from giving birth.
:01:15. > :01:18.Police had asked an emergency social services team to visit Amy Black but
:01:19. > :01:22.no`one was available. The ndxt morning, seven`month old Zod was
:01:23. > :01:25.dead. In what's been described as a tragic case, it's believed that Amy
:01:26. > :01:36.drowned her little girl, as Mike O'Sullivan reports.
:01:37. > :01:43.The female is Amy Black, shd is coming in. The scene in an dmergency
:01:44. > :01:48.department in a hospital after a baby is brought in for
:01:49. > :01:52.resuscitation. Zoe was taken in in September last year. Our caleras
:01:53. > :01:57.were there and captured these dramatic moments. Hospital staff
:01:58. > :02:03.could not save Zoe. Her mentally unstable mother had drowned her
:02:04. > :02:07.Today, Amy Black pleaded guhlty to infanticide. Her mind unbal`nced,
:02:08. > :02:11.she had never recovered frol the effect of giving birth. This is
:02:12. > :02:16.where the tragedy happened. The Black family home in best wood in
:02:17. > :02:20.Nottingham. The father was `way at the time. CCTV images of thd back
:02:21. > :02:25.garden was shown at Nottingham Crown Court. The images show Mrs Black
:02:26. > :02:29.coming out into the garden with Zoe several times, holding her, cradling
:02:30. > :02:34.her. Then it shows the moment she drops Zoe's body over a fence into
:02:35. > :02:39.undergrowth on own industri`l estate next door. Neighbours found Mrs
:02:40. > :02:43.Black wandering around with self`inflicted knife wounds. One of
:02:44. > :02:48.them recovered Zoe's body. The day before, Mrs Black had taken Zoe to
:02:49. > :02:52.London. She asked the policd for help and they took her back home. A
:02:53. > :02:56.Nottinghamshire police sergdant tried to get an emergency social
:02:57. > :03:02.services team to visit Mrs Black but they said no one was available that
:03:03. > :03:07.afternoon or evening. The only option for the police was a safe and
:03:08. > :03:11.well check investigation thd next morning but that was overtaken by
:03:12. > :03:16.events. A serious case of you looking at how things were handled
:03:17. > :03:32.is now under way. `` a Serious Case Review.
:03:33. > :03:41.Amy Black, an American who hs around 30 years younger than her htsband,
:03:42. > :03:44.is due to be sentenced next month. The Government's squeeze on welfare
:03:45. > :03:51.benefits is causing an incrdase in rent arrears and a drop in council
:03:52. > :03:53.tax revenue in the East Midlands. That's according to new resdarch
:03:54. > :04:00.commissioned by the organis`tion that represents the region's local
:04:01. > :04:02.councils. It also estimates that those same welfare reforms have
:04:03. > :04:10.taken ?1.3 billion out of the region's economy. Our polithcal
:04:11. > :04:16.editor John Hess is at Westlinster. John, what's the evidence?
:04:17. > :04:19.This research is the first snap`shot of the impact of the coalithon's
:04:20. > :04:22.welfare benefit changes on our local councils in the East Midlands. It
:04:23. > :04:25.calculated that almost 18,000 households were affected by what
:04:26. > :04:30.government critics call the bedroom tax. 89,000 tenants in the private
:04:31. > :04:35.rented sector also faced cuts to housing benefits. The knock`on
:04:36. > :04:40.affect of that, says the report is a rise in rent arrears and ` decline
:04:41. > :04:44.in council tax collection r`tes It's not just Labour councils
:04:45. > :04:46.complaining. For Conservative`run Melton Borough Council in
:04:47. > :04:53.Leicestershire, there's been a 0% decline over the last few ydars In
:04:54. > :04:56.the three East Midland citids Derby, Leicester and Nottingham, a total of
:04:57. > :05:04.28,000 households are in rent arrears. That compares with 23, 00
:05:05. > :05:11.two years earlier. The owed bill in rent tops ?5.7 million.
:05:12. > :05:15.Well, that's the picture. What's the Government's reaction? Local
:05:16. > :05:19.government ministers so far have given the concerns of local councils
:05:20. > :05:26.pretty short shrift. Have a listen to this exchange in the House of
:05:27. > :05:29.Commons. Does my honourable friend agree it is important and essential
:05:30. > :05:38.that local councils play thdir part in reducing the huge efforts `` the
:05:39. > :05:44.huge deficit we inherited? He makes a fair point and they should be
:05:45. > :05:48.looking to curtail the 2.4 billion knots collected in council tax to
:05:49. > :05:54.provide those services residents so rightly deserve.
:05:55. > :05:57.So is it a case of local government getting its own house in order?
:05:58. > :06:00.Well, that's the implication of what the Local Government Ministdr told
:06:01. > :06:04.the Commons, but that's angdred one of our Labour MPs. The bedroom tax,
:06:05. > :06:07.a cruel policy, which means over 50% of council tenants in Leicester City
:06:08. > :06:17.Council cannot afford to pax. Over 50%. So it is losing ?300,000. So a
:06:18. > :06:21.cruel policy means taxpayers across`the`board lose out. But when
:06:22. > :06:23.councils complain of the sqteeze on their budgets, the Government
:06:24. > :06:30.obviously believes this is heading off a ?4 billion sloshing around if
:06:31. > :06:35.local councils had got their own house in order. What I do know is
:06:36. > :06:41.that councils in the ease Mhdlands have seen huge cuts, massivd cuts,
:06:42. > :06:43.to their budgets, and that hs hitting people across the E`st
:06:44. > :06:53.Midlands. So the Government have cheek when they say that. So, is
:06:54. > :06:57.this issue going to go away? Highly unlikely. East Midlands Council says
:06:58. > :06:59.it's asked a senior local atthority chief executive, Allen Grah`m of
:07:00. > :07:02.Rushcliffe Council, to work with other councils in tracking the
:07:03. > :07:06.impact of the government welfare changes. Thank you very much.
:07:07. > :07:09.Still to come, powering ahe`d. Plans are announced to turn the N`tional
:07:10. > :07:15.Water Sports Centre near Nottingham into a leisure destination for the
:07:16. > :07:19.entire region. And if it is a leisurely walk you
:07:20. > :07:22.are after tonight, the forecast is sure to put a spring in your step.
:07:23. > :07:31.Find out more later. Plans to cut the speed limit on a
:07:32. > :07:36.long stretch of the region's busiest road have been criticised as bad for
:07:37. > :07:41.business. The Highways Agency wants to have a 60`mile`an`hour lhmit on
:07:42. > :07:45.parts of the M1 through Derbyshire. It's thought it would be thd first
:07:46. > :07:54.motorway in the country to have a new permanently lower limit, as
:07:55. > :07:59.Simon Hare reports. The M1 north of Junction 28 in
:08:00. > :08:03.Derbyshire. Today, there is a 5 mile an hour limit in force for
:08:04. > :08:11.roadworks but Highways Agency wants to make this whole stretch 60 miles
:08:12. > :08:15.an hour from 7am to 7pm at night. I think these speeds would be a better
:08:16. > :08:20.way of monitoring it if there is likely to be higher pollution on
:08:21. > :08:22.certain days, because we cotld introduce a variable speed, but
:08:23. > :08:26.having a blanket 60 mile an hour limit does not send the right
:08:27. > :08:31.message to people and busindss about Derbyshire. We already concdrned
:08:32. > :08:38.about the costs to business. If you're making one trip you light not
:08:39. > :08:42.know it massive difference but over a week, a month, if you are a
:08:43. > :08:47.business making several journeys, that is lots of lost time. The
:08:48. > :08:51.Highways Agency says its pl`n would include using the hard shoulder to
:08:52. > :08:56.improve traffic flows but the speeds would have to be cut to prevent
:08:57. > :09:05.extra pollution. Drivers at these services were not convinced. The
:09:06. > :09:08.speed limit should be 70. That variable keeps it flowing all the
:09:09. > :09:15.time and that would be bettdr than 60. That is what I find, anxway It
:09:16. > :09:24.doesn't change anything. People just speed more. Time is more important
:09:25. > :09:28.in my life. I've not had ond person come to me to say this is a good
:09:29. > :09:33.idea. We have had 20 of people contacting us to say it is ` crazy
:09:34. > :09:40.idea. The council now says ht wants a highways `` meeting with the
:09:41. > :09:44.Highways Agency to discuss other options. And we have an upd`te on
:09:45. > :09:49.this story. The Highways Agdncy says tonight it has had more than 80
:09:50. > :09:52.responses to this idea and ht will review them all before submhtting a
:09:53. > :09:55.final plan to the Government, so watch this space.
:09:56. > :09:58.Forensic experts say that htman remains discovered by workers on
:09:59. > :10:02.Nottingham's tram extension are more than 70 years old. The bones,
:10:03. > :10:05.including two skulls, were found during yesterday evening's rush hour
:10:06. > :10:10.near Poplars Court on Lenton Lane in Dunkirk. Police believe thex may be
:10:11. > :10:15.from a nearby church burial ground and are not treating it as
:10:16. > :10:19.suspicious. A junior school in Leicester that
:10:20. > :10:23.was at the centre of a legal dispute has been placed in special leasures.
:10:24. > :10:26.A report by the education w`tchdog Ofsted has found that managdrs and
:10:27. > :10:30.the former governing body at Uplands Junior school hadn't properly dealt
:10:31. > :10:35.with a decline in standards since a previous inspection. A judicial
:10:36. > :10:38.review of Leicester City Cotncil's decision to replace the school
:10:39. > :10:45.governors last year found in the authority's favour.
:10:46. > :10:50.Next tonight, it's been talked about for months and now one city is
:10:51. > :10:54.hoping to make it happen. The NHS in Nottingham is preparing to lead the
:10:55. > :10:58.way encouraging more GPs to open on Saturdays and even Sundays. It's an
:10:59. > :11:06.experiment that will be closely monitored, as Our health
:11:07. > :11:12.correspondent Rob Sissons rdports. They won't be open all hours but
:11:13. > :11:16.here, they want to open mord hours. One of seven GP practices in
:11:17. > :11:21.Nottingham interested in Saturday and even Sunday opening. Thd problem
:11:22. > :11:24.for patient is getting to sde their family doctor when they want to or
:11:25. > :11:28.when they need to. That is the bit we have to get right. There are
:11:29. > :11:32.times when they want to see a GP and they are not able to and thdy have
:11:33. > :11:35.particularly identified that Saturdays would be a day whdn they
:11:36. > :11:40.would like to have access to general practice. He is up for Sund`y
:11:41. > :11:45.working but GPs aren't exactly falling over themselves to do it.
:11:46. > :11:49.There are 60 practices in Nottingham and a handful open on Saturday at
:11:50. > :11:54.the moment. Patients I spokd to in Nottingham like the idea of seven
:11:55. > :11:57.day a week access. I think ht is brilliant. Absolutely brillhant
:11:58. > :12:02.Because at the weekends, whdn you need a doctor, you cannot gdt one.
:12:03. > :12:10.They should open seven days a week like everybody else! We need this to
:12:11. > :12:17.get a chance to get in to sde them. I work Saturdays and Sundays so they
:12:18. > :12:21.should. Irene at peak time `nd I'd need an appointment. It is not an
:12:22. > :12:31.emergency but I need an appointment. `` iPhone them. What we cannot
:12:32. > :12:36.provide, because we do not have the resources, is 24/7 convenience
:12:37. > :12:40.medicine, because we don't have enough doctors and you don't pay
:12:41. > :12:45.enough income tax to providd it But at England's busiest Accident
:12:46. > :12:51.Emergency unit, they hope more GP appointments might relieve some of
:12:52. > :12:55.the pressure. Today's news hs very welcome. Saturdays and Sund`ys are
:12:56. > :13:00.frequently the busiest days we have. We are having a much more frailer,
:13:01. > :13:03.older population taking mord time to treat and they stay in hosphtal
:13:04. > :13:14.longer, which puts pressure on the wider NHS.
:13:15. > :13:16.One of the biggest housing developments in Leicestershhre for a
:13:17. > :13:19.generation is under threat tonight after the local Police and Crime
:13:20. > :13:23.Commissioner weighed in and challenged the plans. Final approval
:13:24. > :13:27.for more than 4,000 homes ndar Lubbesthorpe was given in J`nuary.
:13:28. > :13:30.But now Sir Clive Loader's requested a Judicial Review at the High Court,
:13:31. > :13:33.claiming the current funding arrangements would leave thd police
:13:34. > :13:40.service under acute pressurd, as Eleanor Garnier reports.
:13:41. > :13:45.More than 4000 homes, schools, health and leisure centres, a
:13:46. > :13:49.supermarket and shops. That is the future of this farmland near
:13:50. > :13:53.Leicester. After final planning permission was given in Jantary But
:13:54. > :13:56.now Leicestershire's Police and Crime Commissioner is putting the
:13:57. > :14:01.whole development in jeopardy. Sir Clive Loder has requested a judicial
:14:02. > :14:06.review, claiming the funding set aside for policing will put the
:14:07. > :14:09.force under acute pressure, with an unacceptable impact on its service
:14:10. > :14:15.across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. The move has left senior
:14:16. > :14:23.politicians here at County Hall extremely worried. I'm extrdmely
:14:24. > :14:31.concerned as it is not the way to do business. Google `` local
:14:32. > :14:37.politicians should not be challenging planning permission in
:14:38. > :14:43.the courts. As the local authority that granted planning permission, it
:14:44. > :14:47.says it is disappointed with the behaviour of the minister. Ht says
:14:48. > :14:51.it will create a sustainabld community but protesters sax they
:14:52. > :14:58.have seen this row coming for months. I'm not at all surprised and
:14:59. > :15:01.I'm extremely disappointed hn the council but our argument all the
:15:02. > :15:06.while was that developers would not want to pay for sufficient
:15:07. > :15:13.development and infrastructtre, so it is not place a prize. With many
:15:14. > :15:17.other developments planned `cross the East Midlands, this has left

:16:52. > :16:55.contractor and a Charitable Trust. Whilst they are making a big
:16:56. > :17:02.contribution, they needed a partner to engage with, so alongsidd the
:17:03. > :17:08.groups, we think we have a really great deal and it is a win`win
:17:09. > :17:13.situation for all. For old medallists like a newest Ethenne
:17:14. > :17:19.Stott, it is a boost to havd his sport's new admin HQ next door to a

:18:32. > :18:34.First, Roy Hodgson may have just about sorted his squad for this

:18:42. > :18:45.European Championship qualifier at the Ipro Stadium. It's almost half
:18:46. > :18:50.time and Kirsty Edwards has been soaking up the action and is there
:18:51. > :18:56.live for us. Certainly have a noisy atmosphere.
:18:57. > :18:59.No goals to cheer about just yet but I think the interesting thing about
:19:00. > :19:04.this match has been the whole build`up. The FA really makhng a big
:19:05. > :19:08.thing of all our local youngsters involved in the England unddr 2

:19:14. > :19:21.Hometown heroes is the headline You can see the picture of young

:19:26. > :19:30.earlier this evening. In thd starting line`up, one Derby player,
:19:31. > :19:35.Kieron Freeman, lining up for Wales tonight. For England, a number of
:19:36. > :19:45.local players on the bench. Another Derby player will fuse and `lso the
:19:46. > :19:51.Leicester defender Lee and lore `` Liam More. Signs that things are
:19:52. > :19:56.looking very healthy for all three of our championship sides in terms
:19:57. > :20:02.of the players coming through the academy, so it is half`time here. No
:20:03. > :20:07.goals just yet. The last tile the England under 21 is played, they won
:20:08. > :20:10.9`0! I don't think it will be that tonight but a couple of goals in the
:20:11. > :20:14.second half would be good. Thank you.
:20:15. > :20:17.Off the pitch, another of otr Championship clubs has reve`led big
:20:18. > :20:20.financial losses for last sdason. Yesterday Leicester City announced
:20:21. > :20:24.it made losses of ?34 million. Today, Nottingham Forest have
:20:25. > :20:27.revealed losses of over ?17 million. The football League's financial fair
:20:28. > :20:35.play rules mean clubs have to get their overspend down to ?8 lillion
:20:36. > :20:38.this season or could face s`nctions. Now onto something different,
:20:39. > :20:42.because the East Midlands is leading the way to make Britain amongst the
:20:43. > :20:46.best in Europe at one of our most loved sports. Boris Johnson called
:20:47. > :20:51.it wiff waff, some call it ping pong. But for the serious, ht's
:20:52. > :20:54.table tennis. And one player from Derbyshire has just smashed his way
:20:55. > :21:05.into the worlds elite, as M`rk Shardlow reports.
:21:06. > :21:10.He is only 20 but Liam is a rising star. This wiki became Engl`nd
