That's all from us. Don't forget a first look at the papers over on | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Maurice Flynn. Parents | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
are being advised to look out for the symptoms of scarlet fever after | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
a big increase in the spread of the infection. In just a matter of | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
weeks, 350 cases have now been confirmed across the East Midlands. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
That's the highest it's been in 24 years. Our health correspondent Rob | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
Sissons has more. It is the red crash that gives | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
scarlet fever its name. The cross East Midlands, there have been 350 | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
confirmed cases this year, compared to 75 in the first 11 weeks of last | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
year. Derbyshire has the most cases. At this school in | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
Nottingham, they have had a number of suspected scarlet fever cases and | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
have written to parents. We have had three cases of what we think might | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
be scarlet fever. They have been to the doctor and been prescribed | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
antibiotics. Symptoms take up to five days to appear after infection. | :01:24. | :01:32. | |
The rash comes 12 to 48 hours later. Red blotches turn into a fine pink | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
rash that feels like sandpaper, looks like sunburn and maybe it's | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
you. It is really important if you think your child has scarlet fever, | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
that you go to the doctor and get treatment, partly because we want | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
these bugs treated and taken out of circulation. Antibiotics were hard | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
to come by when Bill Maynard got scarlet fever. The 85`year`old was | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
eight at the time. He spent 16 weeks in isolation and says in some ways, | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
it kick`started his show business career. While I was in there, I | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
learned to play the ukelele. I learned some songs that I knew | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
because I was a big George Formby fan as a boy, as I think most kids | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
while. And when I came out, after 16 weeks, I was ready to be launched on | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
the unsuspecting British public. These days, parents are being asked | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
to keep an eye out for those symptoms. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
A terrorism trial has been shown more home`made videos of a | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
Leicestershire teenager. Michael Piggin has denied preparing plans | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
and weapons for a Columbine High School`style attack. The jury at the | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
Old Bailey saw this clip of him spraying "No More Mosques" onto | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
Loughborough leisure centre. Jurors were told the local mosque was top | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
of his list of potential targets. And today they were also shown more | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
video footage of Michael Piggin testing petrol bombs. This is | :03:03. | :03:28. | |
Michael. Here we go. Here we go. The daughter and son`in`law of a | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
couple whose remains were found in a garden have admitted burying them | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
nearly 16 years ago. The bodies of William and Patricia Wycherley were | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
discovered at a house in Forest Town in Mansfield last October. Susan and | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
Christopher Edwards have denied murdering the couple. But today at | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
Nottingham Crown Court both admitted obstructing a coroner in the | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
execution of his duty by burying the bodies. | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
It's been revealed a theatre failed to carry out background checks on | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
volunteers working with child performers. The Concordia Theatre in | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
Hinckley has been at the centre of child sex abuse allegations. Geeta | :03:58. | :04:07. | |
Pendse reports. It was last October when police | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
received information about to members of staff at the Concordia | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Theatre, who were thought to have a sexual interest in children. They | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
were arrested and released on police bail, but the investigation raised | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
more concerns with the police. One of the areas of concern is the fact | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
there was not a robust system for criminal checks at the theatre. Two | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
men who were volunteers here had previous convictions relating to | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
sexual misconduct with children. At the checks been in place, this | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
would've been revealed. If there had been an effective system for | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
conducting checks, then potentially, these people might not have been | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
allowed to remain within the theatre, but investigation has | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
identified these men and the theatre have been proactive in removing them | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
from the theatre. The Concordia Theatre says it is working with the | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
authorities to Britain plays a more robust vet of child protection | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
measures. As a result, police have put off the review of their licence | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
for the time being. Officers are still investigating whether any | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
children came to harm. The leader of the Green Party has | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
been on a two day visit to the East Midlands ahead of the European | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
elections. Natalie Bennett was canvassing in Nottingham. The Greens | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
polled 7% of the vote in the last euro elections. She said voters were | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
concerned about the Government's energy policy. Any gas obtained | :05:38. | :05:48. | |
through fracking in Britain will not be cheap gas. What we need to do is | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
invest in renewables, create the jobs in Britain, develop new | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
technologies and make sure we have one, comfortable homes. `` warm. | :06:01. | :06:08. | |

lost their village shop. It's a giant vending machine full of | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
essential groceries. The first one has just been installed in a pub car | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
park at Clifton, near Ashbourne in Derbyshire. There are already plans | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
to place them in other villages in the area. | :06:22. | :06:26. | |

So, it's goodbye from me ` but with your weather now, here's Anna | :06:38. | :06:38. | |
Church. Feeling quite chilly as those | :06:39. | :06:50. | |
temperatures drop. We have had some showers already this evening, more | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
intense showers pushing through at the moment. Maybe some hail and fund | :06:56. | :07:02. | |

warmth, we got temperatures of 20 Celsius. This weekend, it will be | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
cold and windy, with showers. We saw quite a few earlier on today, then | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
this organised band of cloud, containing gusty wind, rain, sleet | :07:59. | :08:08. | |
and snow. Some gusty wind and blustery Wayne moving east, clearing | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
out to the North Sea, and further wintry showers coming in overnight. | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
It will turn quite cold, with icy conditions expected in parts of | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
Wales, and into Scotland. Do not be surprised to see a dusting of snow | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
in the south-west of England, but apart from that, it is a windy | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
morning with a bit of sunshine | :08:33. | :08:33. |
