:00:00. > 3:59:59potentially brutal. Sunday, scattered showers but the driest day
:00:00. > :00:39.of the weekend. This is East Midlands Today with
:00:40. > :00:50.Dominic Heale and me, Geeta Pendse. Tonight ` the Health Trust facing a
:00:51. > :00:57.?400 million black hole. Thd NHL `` NHS health trust in trouble. And
:00:58. > :01:07.what is happening tonight whth the life`savers. Good evening. Welcome
:01:08. > :01:11.to the programme. First tonhght a massive shake up of the NHS in
:01:12. > :01:14.Leicester as it confronts a funding crisis. We're being told, whthout a
:01:15. > :01:17.radical shake up, the money will run out, services will have to be
:01:18. > :01:20.slashed and even patient safety could be compromised. Doing nothing,
:01:21. > :01:26.NHS bosses say, would lead to hundreds of millions of pounds of
:01:27. > :01:30.debt in just a few years. It's likely to mean fewer beds in our big
:01:31. > :01:44.hospitals. Our health correspondent Rob Sissons is at Leicester General.
:01:45. > :01:49.Good evening, Rob. Good evening We are told those problems will stack
:01:50. > :01:59.up quick unless something is done. To the tune of ?400 million
:02:00. > :02:08.overspend by 2018 at the projections. We cannot keep up with
:02:09. > :02:13.the rising population. Therd will be a 12% increase in the number of
:02:14. > :02:18.people aged over 65 in the next five years. The solution is a radical
:02:19. > :02:28.shake`up which will mean gohng from three acute hospitals to two.
:02:29. > :02:36.Intensive care, complex surgery and the maternity unit at the gdneral
:02:37. > :02:39.could be transferred to two other hospitals in Leicester. Thrde acute
:02:40. > :02:46.sites are now longer afford`ble or viable. If we do not change
:02:47. > :02:53.something they will be in sdrious trouble in a a few years' thme.
:02:54. > :02:57.Firstly, we will not be abld to sustain clinically the servhces we
:02:58. > :03:02.have at the moment and secondly we will not have enough money so they
:03:03. > :03:09.will be piecemeal cuts. We want to avoid that at all costs. Thdy are
:03:10. > :03:15.seeing more patients over 60 like this one, the NHS has to spdnd money
:03:16. > :03:22.smarter and provide new specialist facilities for patients with
:03:23. > :03:27.dementia. I was in a ward whth five people, for had dementia and me It
:03:28. > :03:33.is the night near being in the ward with them, they scream all night
:03:34. > :03:41.long. Without brave and bold decisions the NHS system will
:03:42. > :03:45.collapse. Practitioners are struggling, no doubt you will have
:03:46. > :03:49.heard patients cannot get appointments with their GP very
:03:50. > :03:57.often and we need to look at things in a different way, how we can
:03:58. > :04:01.provide services. The plan hs to shift services closer to thd homes
:04:02. > :04:09.of patients in the communitx. Saying that is one thing, delivering it is
:04:10. > :04:14.quite another. You have got to get community care right first. That, to
:04:15. > :04:21.me, is an absolute given. It will be one thing we will be really arguing
:04:22. > :04:29.for. So, Rob, some big and bold plans, but will it work? Th`t is the
:04:30. > :04:35.big question. If they do not it will be over to the politicians to see
:04:36. > :04:40.what happens next. There have been planned in the past talking about
:04:41. > :04:44.moving here out of hospitals and closer to the homes of patidnts
:04:45. > :04:51.They say the big difference this time is that if and parts of the NHS
:04:52. > :04:57.and social services are all in this together. They will be a different
:04:58. > :05:03.culture where everyone goes for the same aim. We will have to sde. Thank
:05:04. > :05:08.you. Legal proceedings have begun to remove a group of travellers from a
:05:09. > :05:12.busy car park. Around 20 caravans are on the Park and Ride site at
:05:13. > :05:18.Pride Park in Derby. The City Council says it's served thdm with
:05:19. > :05:25.an order to leave. To tell ts more, Simon Hare joins us from our Derby
:05:26. > :05:30.studio now. Good evening. It is thought the caravans arrived at the
:05:31. > :05:35.site sometime over the weekdnd. There are around 20 caravans their
:05:36. > :05:42.into parts of the park and ride car park. Some are next to Derbx County
:05:43. > :05:47.stadium and others near the new velodrome or multi sports arena that
:05:48. > :05:52.is being built. The car park does remain open to the public and it was
:05:53. > :05:59.thought the travellers got `ccess to the site as the barriers ard left up
:06:00. > :06:06.overnight to allow people to retrieve their cars at any time of
:06:07. > :06:11.day. When we visited the site today to try to get a comment frol the
:06:12. > :06:16.travellers we were threatendd and had to beat a hasty retreat. So how
:06:17. > :06:23.long could it be before thex have to move? The council says it is
:06:24. > :06:28.treating this as a matter of priority. They issued the notice to
:06:29. > :06:34.leave on Monday and because they have not done so they are now going
:06:35. > :06:40.through court, there is a hdaring for this on Wednesday. At the
:06:41. > :06:44.hearing the council will repuest an order for possession and if granted
:06:45. > :06:50.it will be served on the tr`vellers later that day. Bailiffs will then
:06:51. > :06:56.set the date and time for any conviction to be carried out. The
:06:57. > :07:02.travellers told us they planned to leave on in the next few daxs but
:07:03. > :07:07.the local newspaper said thdy were told the travellers had no such
:07:08. > :07:10.aims. Meanwhile a barrier h`s been put up in Leicester to prevdnt
:07:11. > :07:13.travellers returning to an unauthorised site in Beaumont Leys.
:07:14. > :07:16.The obstruction has been buhlt on Beaumont Leys Lane to prevent
:07:17. > :07:19.vehicles moving on to the grass verge. It's been put up by the City
:07:20. > :07:22.Council and will eventually be planted with flowers. Bosses say the
:07:23. > :07:26.obstruction will be too large for anyone to move without conshderable
:07:27. > :07:29.effort. An investigation into claims against Jimmy Savile, has found that
:07:30. > :07:33.children were sexually abusdd at a former convalescent home in
:07:34. > :07:36.Leicestershire. The victims were residents at Roecliffe Manor at
:07:37. > :07:40.Woodhouse Eaves in the 1950s and 60s. The attacks are now behng
:07:41. > :07:44.investigated by Leicestershhre Police. But it wasn't clear whether
:07:45. > :07:49.Jimmy Savile was actually the man who carried out the abuse at
:07:50. > :07:53.Roecliffe. Tax workers in the region are on strike today in a dispute
:07:54. > :07:57.over job cuts. The walk`out forms part of a week of rolling strikes
:07:58. > :08:01.affecting HM Revenue and Customs offices. The Public and Comlercial
:08:02. > :08:04.Services union says years of successive job cuts have left the
:08:05. > :08:10.organisation unable to cope, with delays on telephone lines and
:08:11. > :08:20.backlogs of post. It says there are also plans to close a number of
:08:21. > :08:27.offices. Ultimately the plan is to reduced to 15 locations nathonally
:08:28. > :08:38.and to shed another 12 to 18,00 jobs depending on what happdns.
:08:39. > :08:41.Coming up: A young fashion designer who's already caught the eyd of a
:08:42. > :08:44.high street chain. Chanel Folkes beat hundreds of students to design
:08:45. > :08:51.garments for M, we look at what it's like to take the first step
:08:52. > :08:54.into the industry. A union says it's shocked and terrified by proposed
:08:55. > :09:00.cuts which would see over 100 firefighters lose their jobs. The
:09:01. > :09:05.Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service has to save over ?7 million
:09:06. > :09:14.over the next five years. Fhre chiefs say lives won't be ptt at
:09:15. > :09:20.risk. Quentin Rayner reports. Firefighters training this lorning
:09:21. > :09:27.but if the cuts go through their numbers could be reduced by up to
:09:28. > :09:32.one quarter. My members are in shock at the moment. We are terrified
:09:33. > :09:38.terrified for our own safetx and for the safety of the public. The
:09:39. > :09:44.implications of what has bedn suggested are so significant. Is it
:09:45. > :09:50.your view that lives will bd put at risk by these proposed cuts? Yes,
:09:51. > :09:58.either firefighters lives or the lives of the public. Leicester will
:09:59. > :10:06.lose the fire engine as well to other bases. Fire chiefs accept the
:10:07. > :10:13.service will not BBC but insist people will not be put in extra
:10:14. > :10:20.danger. It does ensure we are able to meet the risk in that particular
:10:21. > :10:24.area. With the proposals we have put forward we believe we can still
:10:25. > :10:29.maintain adequate resources against the risk in particular areas so
:10:30. > :10:35.therefore we believe that is the case. In Leicestershire there will
:10:36. > :10:41.be a small rise in council tax to reduce the cuts to the servhce, if
:10:42. > :10:46.that is not possible the cuts will come into force next April. A doctor
:10:47. > :10:49.in Derby has opened a shop selling electronic cigarettes in a bid to
:10:50. > :10:51.persuade smokers to quit. John Ashcroft started the store because
:10:52. > :10:55.he believes E`Cigarettes can help people kick the habit. Hundreds of
:10:56. > :11:03.patients have now tried thel and he insists they've very safe. @ny
:11:04. > :11:08.profit he makes will go to charity. I spent many years trying to stop
:11:09. > :11:13.people smoking, I prescribe the lot of nicotine replacement and
:11:14. > :11:20.medication and still do but many smokers are not ready to stop and
:11:21. > :11:26.this is a great alternative. It is dramatically savour compared to
:11:27. > :11:30.cigarettes. `` safer. Newark's new MP has made his maiden speech in the
:11:31. > :11:37.House of Commons. Conservathve Robert Jenrick won the seat in a
:11:38. > :11:40.by`election three weeks ago. Traditionally, new MPs use the
:11:41. > :11:43.maiden speech to pay tributd to their constituency ` but Robert
:11:44. > :11:46.Jenrick admitted that many of his colleagues already know the area
:11:47. > :11:53.well. It is almost unnecess`ry for me to tell the How's about ly
:11:54. > :11:58.constituency because many rhght on rubble members are already
:11:59. > :12:02.surprisingly familiar with ht. It has been said in Newark has not seen
:12:03. > :12:16.so many parliamentarians since the end of the Civil War. True dnough!
:12:17. > :12:19.Every summer hundreds of design students graduate here in the East
:12:20. > :12:22.Midlands. All hoping to makd it in the hugely competitive world of
:12:23. > :12:25.fashion. Key to their success is obtaining industry experience. In
:12:26. > :12:29.the second of our series on local designers, I met a 22`year`old who's
:12:30. > :12:32.already been picked up by a major high street name. Surrounded by
:12:33. > :12:44.designs for her end of year degree show, Chanel has an exciting
:12:45. > :12:54.prospect ahead. She beat dozens of students to design menswear for
:12:55. > :13:02.Marks Spencer 's. I have developed a collection to suit the customer.
:13:03. > :13:08.This is the autumn 2015 collection. The UK menswear market is a growing
:13:09. > :13:14.one so potentially lucrativd for a young designer. She has also won the
:13:15. > :13:23.backing of the city fashion Council who are based here at London's
:13:24. > :13:34.Somerset house. This woman was on the panel who picked Chanel. Often
:13:35. > :13:39.we will just see a quick line`up, there will be a lot of thought
:13:40. > :13:51.process behind that but the development work is necessarily
:13:52. > :13:56.sheared. `` shared. It is unbelievable in a way to thhnk that
:13:57. > :14:01.now I am setting up into a career that I actually enjoy. I do not
:14:02. > :14:09.think there is anything elsd I would want to do. I am very excitdd about
:14:10. > :14:12.the future. Chanel begins a three`month placement with Larks
:14:13. > :14:18.Spencer is next week and hopes that one day her own designs will grace
:14:19. > :14:27.the catwalk in London Fashion Week. Fantastic. We wish her lots of luck.
:14:28. > :14:29.Still to come: The East Midlands Waterways Rescue team who'vd just
:14:30. > :14:32.circumnavigated Britain. Good weather, bad weather, aches, pains,
:14:33. > :14:40.drama...and even dolphins. @nd they did it, as planned, in just over
:14:41. > :14:46.nine days. Full story later. And talking about water, it is time to
:14:47. > :14:53.dig out your umbrella again. I will have your detailed forecast for the
:14:54. > :15:03.rest of the week a little l`ter Now the sport. The footballers `re back.
:15:04. > :15:06.First from me Derby County have agreed a new long term contract with
:15:07. > :15:09.midfielder Jeff Hendrick. The 22`year`old Ireland international
:15:10. > :15:13.has signed a deal that will keep him at the club until 2018. The Rams say
:15:14. > :15:16.they also hope to keep Craig Bryson after they turning down a bhd from
:15:17. > :15:19.Burnley for the midfielder yesterday. They were back at
:15:20. > :15:34.training today. Angela was there too. The summer holidays, all about
:15:35. > :15:40.a bit of relaxation. Putting your feet up may be overindulging just a
:15:41. > :15:48.little. So, spear a thought for this lot. They returned to work today and
:15:49. > :15:53.faced the dreaded fitness tdsts Everyone else seems to be struggling
:15:54. > :15:59.a little bit, I am not lookhng forward to it. You have to do it. It
:16:00. > :16:07.is the tried and tested way of making sure every player is ready
:16:08. > :16:12.for when the season gets underway. Although most of us can do the lot
:16:13. > :16:17.of damage in four weeks, thdse lads cannot. They are in good sh`pe,
:16:18. > :16:24.confident and ready to go again I'd macro it will be as much about
:16:25. > :16:32.mental as physical fitness `fter losing in the finals of the
:16:33. > :16:38.play`off. You cannot dwell on the past two long, eventually it will
:16:39. > :16:46.get the better of you. Todax the focus was about who came out on top
:16:47. > :16:54.for fitness. I just do not want to be at the bottom. I will settle for
:16:55. > :17:00.obscurity but hopefully I al not too close to the bottom. I'd macro can
:17:01. > :17:08.they go one better this timd around? They run into the ndw season
:17:09. > :17:13.is definitely on. I am glad they do not do that to us here! Now,
:17:14. > :17:16.cricket. And the Indians ard here. This summer's tourists feattre some
:17:17. > :17:24.of the Superstars of the global game. Today they began warmhng up
:17:25. > :17:33.for the test series against England by starting a three`day gamd against
:17:34. > :17:36.Leicestershire. And in a money spinner for the Foxes, many of their
:17:37. > :17:44.British based fans went to watch. Today, it was all about the visit of
:17:45. > :17:50.India to Leicestershire. It is massive. We played them thrde years
:17:51. > :17:55.ago. It was Big Ben and it hs big now. It is a great opportunhty to
:17:56. > :18:03.get ticket out to the Asian population of Leicestershird. A lot
:18:04. > :18:07.of people behind me identifx as British Indians and argue to wave
:18:08. > :18:16.the flag for their side. Thd task here is to get them coming back to
:18:17. > :18:19.the ground. We have got to give them a good experience today, we will
:18:20. > :18:24.keep in touch with them and hopefully they will come back. I am
:18:25. > :18:30.macro these guys love their cricket, I am surprised they do not come I
:18:31. > :18:40.love cricket but I do not h`ve too much time. They will come to send
:18:41. > :18:45.the message to England. I al sure we will get revenge this year. Two
:18:46. > :18:53.years ago you guys because 4`0, this year we will beat you to `0. That is
:18:54. > :18:57.my prediction. You saw it hdre first! Well India are at
:18:58. > :19:00.Leicestershire this week, Ddrbyshire next and then the much awaited Test
:19:01. > :19:07.match begins at Trent Bridgd the week after. Last year the thcket
:19:08. > :19:11.office sold out for the Ashds before Christmas, but with two weeks to go
:19:12. > :19:14.there are still tickets left for the first day of the opening match of
:19:15. > :19:17.England's Indian summer serhes. If we take the four days and the one
:19:18. > :19:23.day international that is over 85,000 tickets and in actual fact we
:19:24. > :19:29.have 3000 left. There is an appetite for Cricket in the East Midlands and
:19:30. > :19:31.we are happy that is the case. And disappointment for Nottingh`m tennis
:19:32. > :19:34.stars Jocelyn Rae and Daniel Smethurst at Wimbledon todax. Both
:19:35. > :19:38.faced tough opponents in thd doubles competition and both have gone out
:19:39. > :19:41.at the first round. Rae and partner Anna Smith took the hugely
:19:42. > :19:59.experienced Sam Stosur and Flavia Penneta to three sets. Now, you may
:20:00. > :20:02.remember when this programmd caught up with a team who promised to
:20:03. > :20:04.circumnavigate Britain in nhne days...nine hours....and nine
:20:05. > :20:08.minutes. We're talking about the men from Watersafe UK ` an inland
:20:09. > :20:14.waterways rescue team, based in Derbyshire. To raise ?50,000 for
:20:15. > :20:18.their charity AND for the RNLI, they needed to complete the 999 Challenge
:20:19. > :20:21.around our coast. But did they manage it? James Roberson rdports.
:20:22. > :20:27.Waiting on the quayside in Poole in Dorset. In February the grotp had
:20:28. > :20:34.been doing what they do voltntarily, rescuing people and Rob Petht from
:20:35. > :20:40.the floods in the Thames Valley This month they packed in Ddrby for
:20:41. > :20:44.a voyage to raise money for two charities by going around Britain in
:20:45. > :20:53.this challenge. We will do ht in nine days, nine hours and nhne
:20:54. > :21:02.minutes. Then it was off. Ahead of them 2000 miles and who knew what
:21:03. > :21:21.conditions? We have just got to keep grass. `` Cape Wrath. D9 achieved,
:21:22. > :21:34.will be make it back to pool in the remaining nine hours and nine
:21:35. > :21:39.minutes? `` the nine achievdd. We have had some rough seas but we have
:21:40. > :21:48.got there. I am macro I would do it again tomorrow. The highs wdre to
:21:49. > :21:55.swim with dolphins. Lows were 1 hours on a day becoming rather
:21:56. > :22:04.monotonous. The bonus was ?40,0 0 in all for the two charities whth
:22:05. > :22:08.barely getting wet. I bet it felt good to get to the end and the
:22:09. > :22:13.dolphins was my favourite bht. Absolutely beautiful. And the
:22:14. > :22:20.weather, there is talk of an upside`down rainbow? Yes, ydsterday
:22:21. > :22:26.evening some of you were lucky enough to spot this. It looks like a
:22:27. > :22:32.reverse rainbow. For this to a car you need the sun is especially high
:22:33. > :22:38.in the sky and ice particles inside these clouds which you can see in
:22:39. > :22:46.this picture. It is fairly rare at this time of year. Thank yot to
:22:47. > :22:52.everyone who said them to us. Tomorrow, weather`wise, it hs cloudy
:22:53. > :22:59.and cool with a scattering of heavy showers. Maybe even the odd rumble
:23:00. > :23:04.of wonder. The cloud will qtickly increase and rain arriving from the
:23:05. > :23:09.south`west. It is fairly light rain through the night with a minimum
:23:10. > :23:14.temperature of 12 Celsius. Tomorrow morning it will start cloudx and
:23:15. > :23:23.amp. You will need your umbrella heading out first thing. `` cloudy
:23:24. > :23:28.and damp. The is the yellow warning in force tomorrow afternoon with the
:23:29. > :23:35.rest of localised flooding. Top temperature 16 Celsius. Although it
:23:36. > :23:40.stays unsettled as we head hnto the weekend it looks like they will
:23:41. > :23:47.still be a good deal of dry weather but very little sunshine to be had.
:23:48. > :23:52.Remaining cool on Saturday with a high of 15 Celsius. In two Sunday
:23:53. > :23:57.low`pressure will edge away so although there is a risk of one or
:23:58. > :24:05.two showers it should be brhghter and we should see some sunshine
:24:06. > :24:13.Remaining settled into the new week. It is an improving picture. That is
:24:14. > :24:44.off from ours. Night. Make the most of your weekend,
:24:45. > :24:46.wherever you are. Use the BBC Weather App to stay
:24:47. > :24:53.one step ahead of the weather. I saw you before
:24:54. > :24:57.and I thought you were so beautiful. I always thought love
:24:58. > :25:00.would come into my life. You were with someone,
:25:01. > :25:16.so who was it? Who were you with? Murdered By My Boyfriend,
:25:17. > :25:20.a true story.
