:00:00. > :00:14.first look at the papers on the BBC News channel. Now on
:00:15. > :00:18.Now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Geeta Pendse.
:00:19. > :00:22.First tonight, all kidney transplants in Leicester have been
:00:23. > :00:24.dramatically stopped. An urgent review was carried out after it
:00:25. > :00:29.appeared that medical staff had rejected an above`average number of
:00:30. > :00:33.kidneys for transplant. Until changes are made to the service,
:00:34. > :00:39.operations are on hold for at least two weeks. With more, here's our
:00:40. > :00:42.health correspondent, Rob Sissons. Damon here's waiting for a kidney
:00:43. > :00:46.transplant but if a donor becomes available in the next couple of
:00:47. > :00:49.weeks, he may have to go to Nottingham, as those operations here
:00:50. > :00:53.at the Leicester General are on hold. And the reason is because in
:00:54. > :00:56.January a review team was drafted in to look at the figures after an
:00:57. > :01:01.unusually high number of kidneys appear to have been turned down for
:01:02. > :01:05.transplant by the unit. The review team wants to know why. Kidney
:01:06. > :01:10.transplants are one of the miracles of modern medicine. They can mean an
:01:11. > :01:14.end to life on dialysis for patients and dramatically improve their
:01:15. > :01:16.quality of life. So the big question in Leicester is, have some
:01:17. > :01:24.opportunities for transplants been missed? The reason we asked the
:01:25. > :01:28.review team to come into Leicester was that we had received a report
:01:29. > :01:31.suggesting that more kidneys were being turned down here than in other
:01:32. > :01:35.centres. But that the reasons for that could be quite complex, and
:01:36. > :01:39.we've asked the review team to try to give us some information. It is
:01:40. > :01:43.possible that there might be some other processes that are leading to
:01:44. > :01:46.that but equally it might be to do with our patient population, and we
:01:47. > :01:51.might have a different mix to other areas in the country. I guess if
:01:52. > :01:56.they have to, they have to. It's one of those things, really. The good
:01:57. > :01:59.news is, if an organ does become available, you could still get the
:02:00. > :02:04.call... That's right. ..And go to Nottingham. Would you go to
:02:05. > :02:08.Nottingham? I'd go anywhere! I'm happy to go to Nottingham, yes. The
:02:09. > :02:11.hospital is now looking at its policies and processes before
:02:12. > :02:18.restarting surgery, it hopes, in two weeks.
:02:19. > :02:21.Derbyshire's Chief Fire Officer Sean Frayne has appeared in court for the
:02:22. > :02:27.first time after being charged with rape. The case has been sent by
:02:28. > :02:30.magistrates to Derby Crown Court for a hearing on April the 14th. Mr
:02:31. > :02:34.Frayne, who's 47 and from Etwall near Derby, is currently suspended
:02:35. > :02:37.from his role. The alleged rape is said to have happened in Etwall
:02:38. > :02:43.between November 2006 and January 2007.
:02:44. > :02:47.Two of our big`city railway stations are facing closures over the next
:02:48. > :02:51.few years as work is carried out to electrify the line. It's part of a
:02:52. > :02:57.?1.6 billion investment by Network Rail. The news came on the day that
:02:58. > :03:00.Nottingham, which has already been through the pain of a lengthy
:03:01. > :03:06.shutdown, showed off its new`look station, as Mike O'Sullivan reports.
:03:07. > :03:11.Opened by the Midland Railway in 1904 and now restored to its former
:03:12. > :03:14.glory. The terracotta front of Nottingham railway station has been
:03:15. > :03:20.given a face`lift, as signalling and track work is completed inside. Now
:03:21. > :03:26.passengers can use the entrance hall for tickets for the first time since
:03:27. > :03:33.last summer. It needed doing. Over the years it seems to have gone
:03:34. > :03:36.downhill. But, yes, very nice. It took a while to notice the
:03:37. > :03:41.difference but it looks a lot nicer and cleaner. It's nice to see the
:03:42. > :03:44.enlarged concourse as well. It'll be even better when all the new shops
:03:45. > :03:48.are in. The station redevelopment's costing ?50 million. It meant the
:03:49. > :03:52.closure of this station for 37 days last summer, with a fleet of
:03:53. > :03:56.replacement buses laid on. Things are looking bright and airy here in
:03:57. > :03:59.the front of Nottingham station as the work nears completion. But
:04:00. > :04:02.there's a warning that the stations in Derby and Leicester could face
:04:03. > :04:07.partial closure in the next few years because of electrification.
:04:08. > :04:12.That work will cost ?1.6 billion in the East Midlands. We're looking to
:04:13. > :04:15.take the learning and the successes here from Nottingham and do very
:04:16. > :04:18.much the same thing at Derby and Leicester, really in advance of the
:04:19. > :04:22.electrification works that'll be coming over the next three to five
:04:23. > :04:25.years. The council in Nottingham has contributed ?12 million from the
:04:26. > :04:29.Workplace Parking Levy towards the station work. It wants to see the
:04:30. > :04:38.whole area redeveloped as a prestigious gateway into the city.
:04:39. > :04:42.Next, the remarkable story of the two`year`old boy from Leicestershire
:04:43. > :04:46.who's possibly the youngest person ever to dial 999 for a
:04:47. > :04:49.life`threatening emergency. Riley rang the number from his home at
:04:50. > :04:55.Barrow`on`Soar after his mum fell unconscious to the floor, as Sian
:04:56. > :05:00.Lloyd reports. Nee`naw, nee`naw! Only two years
:05:01. > :05:06.old, but when Riley's mum collapsed, he knew who to call. It was amazing.
:05:07. > :05:11.I'm so proud of him, so proud of him. He's absolutely a little super
:05:12. > :05:15.star, aren't you? He remembered what his mum had taught him, and dialled
:05:16. > :05:18.999 to save her when she suffered a blood clot. But the emergency
:05:19. > :05:48.services didn't have much information to go on.
:05:49. > :05:54.It was enough, though, for the police to trace the call to their
:05:55. > :05:59.home. There you go, Riley. Aw! Such a brave boy. And today, Riley's
:06:00. > :06:05.bravery was rewarded with a special certificate. Absolutely a
:06:06. > :06:09.life`saver. A very important part of the team. So, do you think he might
:06:10. > :06:13.be joining the Ambulance Service one day? He seems to be pretty on the
:06:14. > :06:17.ball! Yeah, well, I'd be happy to have him as my crew mate. But for
:06:18. > :06:25.now, Riley is just a happy two`year`old who can't make out what
:06:26. > :06:28.all the fuss is about. Wonderful story.
:06:29. > :06:30.That's your news, so it's goodbye from me, but with your weather now,
:06:31. > :06:39.here's Kaye. Thank you. We had a lovely start to
:06:40. > :06:42.the British Summer Time with some gorgeous sunshine through the
:06:43. > :06:46.weekend. Some more of it to come but we do have rain to come first and we
:06:47. > :06:49.have seen thundery showers pushing through this evening and there is
:06:50. > :06:53.more to come over the next two hours. The rain will be quite heavy
:06:54. > :06:56.and thundery, pushing northwards fairly swiftly through the early
:06:57. > :07:01.hours of the morning, and then dry up again towards the end of the
:07:02. > :07:06.night. It will time quite murky with mist and fog forming through the
:07:07. > :07:12.early hours of the morning. `` it will turn. A very mild night to
:07:13. > :07:15.come. Dry tomorrow morning with a loss of mist and fog first thing,
:07:16. > :07:19.but that should win and break and then the cloud will be broken up
:07:20. > :07:26.through the afternoon as well. `` that should thin. Most of us staying
:07:27. > :07:30.dry and bright and feeling very warm with light winds and temperatures
:07:31. > :07:33.peaking at 15 or 16. That's it from us. This is the outlook.
:07:34. > :07:40.Some rain will clear the atmosphere on Thursday. More information on all
:07:41. > :07:45.of that. Hello, talk of the day-to-day has been the Saharan
:07:46. > :07:50.dust. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, here is an
:07:51. > :07:54.explanation for you. Essentially, in the last 24-hour is, there has been
:07:55. > :07:59.wind from the Saharan desert, you can get an idea of where it has been
:08:00. > :08:03.coming from, by the motion of the cloud on a satellite picture. Low
:08:04. > :08:07.pressure. The wind in the atmosphere picking up some of the dust from the
:08:08. > :08:11.Sahara desert, shunted across western parts of Europe, and all of
:08:12. > :08:16.it on Sunday night into Monday felt the ground for the some us were
:08:17. > :08:19.waiting to find some grubby cars, but that's the closest to desert
:08:20. > :08:24.whether we're going to get, apart from the dust. We've also had other
:08:25. > :08:30.pollutants in the atmosphere. In London and Manchester, pollution is
:08:31. > :08:33.high. You can get our environmental summary online. The skies have been
:08:34. > :08:38.washed out by the rain across western parts of the UK this
:08:39. > :08:41.evening. Heavy rain across parts of Wales, thunderstorms, and by the
:08:42. > :08:47.early hours of Tuesday morning, heavy rain transferring to parts of
:08:48. > :08:48.Northern Ireland, northern England and Scotland, too. To the south,
