Welcome to East Midlands Today with Anne Davies, and me Maurice Flynn. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Our top story: The infection spreading at an alarming rate. | :00:10. | :00:26. | |
This former soldier is up for a national award. He was has a smile | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
on his face. He's an inspiration to everybody. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
From the heart of the European Union, I have come to Brussels. And | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
the vending machine on a village scale, using the loss of the corner | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
shop. I use it practically every day. I get my eggs and milk year. `` | :00:51. | :01:04. | |
here. Good evening and welcome to Friday's | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
programme. First tonight, 350 cases of scarlet fever have now been | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
confirmed across the East Midlands ` and that's just so far this year. | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
It's the highest number for 24 years. Parents are being urged to | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
look out for the symptoms of the bacterial infection, which is most | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
common in children. Our Health Correspondent Rob Sissons reports. | :01:25. | :01:34. | |
It is the red rash that gives scarlet fever... Name. Across the | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
East Midlands, there have been 350 confirmed cases this year, compared | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
to 75 in the first 11 weeks of last year. You can see here where the | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
cases are in the region. They tend to peak every five years. Derbyshire | :01:51. | :02:00. | |
has the most. In this primary school, they have had a number of | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
suspected scarlet fever cases and have written to parents. We have had | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
three cases we feel might be scarlet fever. They have been to their | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
doctor and been prescribed antibiotics. Symptoms generally take | :02:15. | :02:25. | |
several days to appear. The rash comes 12 to 48 days later. Red | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
blotches turn into a rash that feels like sandpaper, looks like sunburn | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
and maybe itchy. It usually starts in one place and spreads to other | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
parts of the body. It is really important if you feel your child has | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
scarlet fever, that you get to the doctor for treatment. Partly because | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
we want these things treated and taken out of circulation. When Bill | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
Maynard got scarlet fever, there were no antibiotics. He spent 16 | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
weeks in isolation, but in some ways it kick`started his show business | :03:06. | :03:13. | |
career. While I was in there, I learned to play the ukelele. I was a | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
big George Formby fan as a boy, as I think most kids were. When I came | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
out, after 16 weeks, I was ready to be launched on the unsuspecting | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
British public. These days, parents are being asked to keep an eye out | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
for those symptoms. It's been revealed a theatre failed | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
to carry out background checks on volunteers working with child | :03:41. | :03:41. | |
performers. The Concordia Theatre in Hinckley | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
has been at the centre of child sex abuse allegations. However, the | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
police say the theatre has now made significant progress. | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Well, our reporter Geeta Pendse has the details. Geeta, how did this | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
come to light? It was back in October when police | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
received information about two male members of staff at the Concordia | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
Theatre who were thought to have a sexual interest in children. They | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
were arrested and released on police bail. It also emerged there were two | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
volunteers and an actor with previous convictions of child sex | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
abuse. The theatre hadn't picked up on these because volunteers hadn't | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
undergone adequate background checks ` raising major concerns for the | :04:20. | :04:29. | |
police. Clearly, if there was a neck vectored system in place previously | :04:30. | :04:39. | |
`` an effective system in place previously for doing background | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
checks, then potentially these people might not have been allowed | :04:42. | :04:51. | |
to remain within the theatre. Well, the Concordia Theatre says it's | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
co`operating fully with the authorities to put in place a more | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
robust set of child protection measures. These have included a | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
change of staff and vetting system. As a result the police have put off | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
a review of the theatre's licence, providing it puts into place the | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
changes by May. At that point the council will consider whether to | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
re`issue a child performance licence. The police say they are | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
still investigating whether any children at the theatre were abused | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
and welcome any information from the public. | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
Sport coming up ` live from the I`pro stadium in Derby. | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
Where the big game of the weekend is taking place. | :05:28. | :05:40. | |
Yes, it is derby against For B. `` Forest. We are behind the scenes | :05:41. | :05:49. | |
later on. More up`to`date's news. The daughter | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
and son`in`law of a couple whose remains were found in a garden have | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
admitted burying them nearly 16 years ago. The bodies of William and | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
Patricia Wycherley were discovered at a house in Forest Town last | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
October. Susan and Christopher Edwards have denied murder. But | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
today at Nottingham Crown Court they admitted obstructing a coroner in | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
the execution of his duty by burying the bodies. A terrorism trial has | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
been shown more home`made videos of a Leicestershire teenager. Michael | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
Piggin has denied preparing plans and weapons for a Columbine High | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
School`style attack. The Old Bailey jury saw Michael Piggin spraying "No | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
More Mosques" on a Loughborough leisure centre. They've been told | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
that the local mosque was top of his list of potential targets. They were | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
also shown more video footage of him testing petrol bombs. | :06:36. | :06:48. | |
This is Michael. Here we go. Here we go. | :06:49. | :06:59. | |
A Nottinghamshire primary school once ranked among the best in the | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
country is being put into special measures. St Edmund Campion in West | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
Bridgford was judged as outstanding by inspectors. But in January, the | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
school's head teacher was removed from her post and replaced by an | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
acting head. Ofsted says the school is providing an unacceptable | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
standard of education. Hundreds of farmers were today given | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
lessons in how to avoid injury while they're working. | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
The agricultural industry has one of the worst safety records in the | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
country, being responsible for one in five of all work`related | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
injuries. Today farm workers were given | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
practical demonstrations of how to avoid some of the most common | :07:38. | :07:47. | |
hazards. Sarah Teale reports. A potentially tragic farming | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
accident, but fortunately, this is just a dummy. It is part of a | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
demonstration to hundreds of local farm workers, I letting some of the | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
hazards they face. This event was organised by the Health and Safety | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
Executive, to try and improve the poor safety record in the industry. | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
The agricultural industry accounts for just over 1% of workers, but it | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
is responsible for 20% of all work`related injuries. In the East | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
Midlands in the last year, there has been one death and 45 serious | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
injuries on farms. One victim was in a wheelchair for six months after | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
being run over by a poorly maintained tractor on a farm near | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
Melton Mowbray. His pelvis was crushed and he punctured a lung. The | :08:40. | :08:50. | |
company was fined ?10,000. Very few accidents are inevitable. Things | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
happen because of a lack of thought or for a small bit of expenditure or | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
maintenance that would make the job so much safer. And more effective. | :08:59. | :09:08. | |
Up to 400 farmers and workers are standard `` attended the workshop. | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
We want to make the place safer. There are a lot of things you don't | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
think about that are potentially dangerous. I think farmers can be | :09:19. | :09:28. | |
too relaxed about dangers. It is an industry that takes the risks for | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
granted and this event is to make people stop and think about what | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
they're doing. Hopefully that will ultimately cut the numbers of deaths | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
and serious injuries in a notoriously dangerous industry. | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
A Derbyshire soldier, who was paralysed in Afghanistan, has begun | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
a new mission to become a schoolteacher. | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
Next month Ben Zissman's up for a national award for injured | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
servicemen who overcome adversity. And he's hoping to compete in the | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
next Paralympic Games. Our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
reports. Dealing with a class of five and | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
six`year`olds is not easy, and imagine how much tougher and it is | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
if you are paralysed from the waist down. That hasn't stopped then | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
volunteering as a teaching assistant. His determination has | :10:21. | :10:34. | |
earned him an award. It means such a lot. Various charities are | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
recognising that I'm still achieving. I am still trying to put | :10:37. | :10:47. | |
together how it works in a wheelchair. The children don't | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
care, as long as you have the knowledge. He is so upbeat, he | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
always has a smile on his face. He does whatever we asked him to do. | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
Considering he is so young, he is an inspiration to everyone. Then was | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
injured in Afghanistan when he was working as an engineer and his | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
convoy was hit by a roadside bomb. I went through the top of the | :11:20. | :11:26. | |
vehicle. The most amazing thing is that after all of that, I have still | :11:27. | :11:36. | |
got myself here. A lot of people, you know, three people died in that | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
attack. It is amazing still to be here and tell the tale. Ben is not | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
going to let his injuries stop him looking forward. This summer he is | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
getting married. And he is focusing on competitive hand cycling and is | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
hoping to make it to the Paralympics. | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
Good luck. The elections to the European | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
Parliament may be two months away but the rivalry between two of our | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
MEPs has boiled over during a televised debate. UKIP's Roger | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
Helmer has been accused of not bothering to turn up to vote at the | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
European Parliament. The claim was made by the Liberal | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
Democrat Bill Newton`Dunn during a debate for our East Midlands Sunday | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
Politics programme. From Brussels, here's our Political Editor, John | :12:29. | :12:41. | |
Hess. The European Parliament and the EU | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
will be explaining to us what these elections are all about. That's why | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
are elected members know that there's a lot at stake. But is this | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
a flavour of what we can expect? Roger Helmer never turns up. His | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
voting record is dreadful. My attendance record and voting record | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
is better than the average of your party. I would like you right now to | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
apologise. That's not true. You were not there yesterday. On the surface, | :13:13. | :13:23. | |
a row about voting records. But at the heart of this clash between | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
Roger Helmer in Bill Newton`Dunn is what is really in Britain's | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
long`term economic interests. They fancy themselves at making some | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
really knock out there. But we can match them all the way. This brewery | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
was set up a 40% of its funding on the European Union. But neither is | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
doubt over whether Britain should stay in the European Union. Bakewell | :13:54. | :14:05. | |
market and Derbyshire sheep farmers are also torn. If we carry on, we | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
will get subsidies, but if we came out, we would have less red tape. | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
You never see the MEPs, because the constituency is too big. We may need | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
some other Belgian chocolates as a sweep there. `` we may need some of | :14:27. | :14:35. | |
those Belgian chocolates as a campaign sweetener. | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
Catch that debate in full on the Sunday Politics for the East | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
Midlands from 11 o'clock, here on BBC One. Plenty more to come on the | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
programme tonight. Including something for the weekend from Anna. | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
Yes, no spring has sprung, winter is fighting back. | :14:52. | :14:59. | |
Thousands of people across our region are taking part in events for | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
Sport Relief. It's a time to get active and also raise money for good | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
causes. Some of the big events took place | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
today, but there'll be even more over the weekend. Simon Ward joined | :15:10. | :15:20. | |
the fun in Leicester. The pupils, parents and staff at | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
this school and Leicester are off on their sport relief mile. Music to | :15:25. | :15:38. | |
keep them going. We have had a great start to wear mourning. It is a big | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
challenge for Kieren, whose longest walk so far is half a mile. Today, | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
he is hoping to double back distance. It took a lot of | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
organisation. You think you will make the whole mile? Yes. And he did | :15:57. | :16:09. | |
make it all the way to the finish. We're raising money for kids in | :16:10. | :16:18. | |
other countries. The special guest today inspired the children. All the | :16:19. | :16:27. | |
kids from the school, family members and staff, all dressed up and it was | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
really good. I got to walk round with Kieran, walk round the whole | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
mile with his Walker. And the celebrations continued long after | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
they had finished their Sport Relief mile. Cracking stuff. Well done if | :16:42. | :16:51. | |
you took part. Time for sport and there is only once place for Colin | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
to be tonight ahead of the game this weekend. | :16:56. | :17:07. | |
The players know there is so much more than the usual local rivalry at | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
stake, and here's why. This is the first time in 20 years these clubs | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
have come together, both looking at potential promotion. With both teams | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
having had a dip in form recently, this scheme could be the one that | :17:25. | :17:35. | |
makes or breaks their season. It is about points, it is about | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
pride, but this time, it is all about promotion. They are all big | :17:40. | :17:56. | |
games, but this one has a touch of spice. It is not just about Derby | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
and Forest, it is about the play`off position. It is passion, it is | :18:04. | :18:12. | |
energy. It is going to be a high octane game. I have no fingernails | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
left and it has not even kicked off. It is going to be a bloodbath. | :18:20. | :18:38. | |
They are fighting to get promoted and biting to set our place in the | :18:39. | :18:49. | |
play`offs. That always seems to be something going on. Hopefully, the | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
football will be the main talking point after the game. We would like | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
the Derby fans to go away happy. Whoever wins on Saturday will be one | :18:58. | :19:17. | |
step closer to promotion. This promises to be the biggest clash in | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
decades. We cannot emphasise enough how much | :19:25. | :19:41. | |
this one means. Plenty of other football this weekend ` and some big | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
events in other sport too. Rounding things up, here's Kirsty Edwards. | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
At Leicester city this week, we have been given special access behind the | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
scenes as they continue their march towards the top flight away at | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
Blackburn tomorrow. You can watch an exclusive feature on Monday night on | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
BBC One. Nottingham County have a big clash with Carlisle tomorrow. | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
There is a big local derby for Mansfield Town in the two. They are | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
at home to Chesterfield. Keep up with the action on your local BBC | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
Radio station. In rugby, Leicester Tigers are at home. In ice hockey, | :20:34. | :20:41. | |
Nottingham Panthers have been having a bit of fun of the ice. This is a | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
song they have recorded to celebrate reaching the Challenge Cup final. | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
They have the first leg of that in Belfast tonight. | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
Good luck to all our teams in action in what ever sport this weekend, but | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
we are focused on Derby against Forest. Take a look at this motley | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
crew, because the face`off has begun. Let's stop to you first. We | :21:13. | :21:23. | |
have been talking about Sport Relief already. What are you up to this | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
weekend? We are putting together Sport Relief the Five. `` Rivals. We | :21:30. | :21:53. | |
have legends coming out of our dressing room and fittingly, red and | :21:54. | :22:02. | |
white by the colours. I am not happy with these colours, but the cause is | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
the most important thing. Don't try and sneak that fly again. Come in, | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
gentlemen. You are both playing in the game. Let's talk about the big | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
game. It is a big game, now matter how you look at it. It is all to | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
play for at the moment and Forest need the points. How about Derby? If | :22:29. | :22:42. | |
we get the right result tomorrow, they will drop out of the top six. | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
What does it take to win a game like this? It is about pride. It is about | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
wearing the shirt for themselves, but the manager and the fans. | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
Hopefully, the result goes the right way. Briefly, which is the most | :23:01. | :23:11. | |
important game, Saturday or Sunday? No competition, Sunday. Don't forget | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
you can see a full report on the match on Monday on East midlands | :23:17. | :23:27. | |
Today. That is a reason why we are | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
surrounded by giant food. An inventor's come up with a novel idea | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
to help rural communities which have lost their village shop. It's a | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
giant vending machine full of essential groceries. | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
The first one has just been installed in a pub car park near | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
Ashbourne in Derbyshire. But there are plans to place them in other | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
villages in the area. Simon Hare reports. | :23:48. | :23:56. | |
This convenience store it really is open all hours. It has recently | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
opened behind a pub at Clifton near Ashbourne in Derbyshire. It stops | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
everything from hot dogs to food for hungry dogs. It is that range of | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
items you need day`to`day, where it is a real pain getting in your car | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
to drive for two or three miles to get what you need. I use it every | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
day. I get my eggs and milk here and once villagers get used to it, it | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
will be a boon for us. If I want E`bacc, the court is six to two. I | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
