Carson Allen suffered massive bleeding after a doctor cut

Tonight, his mother said shd would never forgive the medical staff

The accident happened at thd City Hospital in Nottingham a ye`r ago.

Our Health Correspondent Rob Sissons was at the inquest

Rob, this must have been a very distressing inquest

A very tragic case. This morning the family arrived. The mother of the

baby heard the evidence. His head was damaged when a night of the

surgeon went into it. He suffered catastrophic bleeding and dhed a few

hours after the procedure. She had already had an operation on a couple

years before which meant at the baby was at higher risk. It was

vulnerable to being cut so this wasn't a usual Caesarean. It was a

tragic one, though. Why did go wrong? We heard a lot about

operation, which was an emergency. The doctor was a consultant who was

supervising a more junior colleague. She was confident and

signed off to do the Caesardan. Even if he had the knee operation he

said, he said he might have done the same thing because of the unusual

presentation `` had done thd operation. The coroner concluded

this was accidental death. The family's solicitor read a statement.

What happened should never have happened. Nothing will bring him

back but we hope the hospit`l will review their practices so other

families don't suffer as Cl`ire and Scott have. Mrs Smith said there was

a lack of communication frol start to finish. They missed managed

everything. We brought everxthing in preparation for the birth. He

couldn't have been more wanted or loved. It has been the worst

experience of my life and I doubt my family will ever get over otr loss.

Someone needs to apologise. It is your worst nightmare come true every

day. The hospital have offered their condolences. They said they couldn't

have foreseen the convocations that arose. The coroner said the initial

investigation was inadequatd. She said the investigation lookdd like a

box ticking exercise. There wasn't enough analysis done of the root

problems and issues surrounding this case.

Still to come ` a warning to those who feel the heat.

Doctors say the elderly and the vulnerable are at rhsk

as temperatures and humidity levels rise.

The sensible advice is to kdep out of the sun during the day.

Crime has gone up across thhs region, bucking the national trend.

The latest figures show polhce in Derbyshire, Leicestershire

and Nottinghamshire all recorded an increase in thefts and burglaries.

Some forces saw a sharp risd in muggings and violent att`cks

Our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, is at the

I think this is significant, because recorded crime's been falling across

Today's official crime stats show that while the national figtres

are still going down, here they're starting to rise ag`in.

That means more victims in this region, in the last financi`l year.

Victims like Dennis Kerry, who's just started a neighbourhood

watch, after his third break`in here at Ilkeston in Derbyshhre.

They came through the kitchen window.

There was a mess all over, obviously.

Things are scattered about, the usual things.

They took memorabilia and f`mily heirlooms, I suppose you wotld

The burglary figures increased last year by 12% in Derbyshire,

by 14% in Leicestershire, And by 5% in Nottinghamshird.

And just look at the rise in shoplifting figures.

They're up by 17% in Derbyshire By 15% in Leicestershire.

These stats are still very luch lower than they were a decade ago.

There has been an increase hn the report of sexual offences, because

of things like the Jimmy Savile case. There will be questions about

the large number of thefts hn this region, partly because they have

been warnings that was likely to happen as a result of the rdcession

and of spending cuts. What do police chiefs think? The two main things

the impact of the recession, people losing jobs, turning to crile and

stealing. I also think the public and victims having greater

confidence in reporting criles to the police and police forces like

this doing far better at recording those crimes. We are on the front

foot. We launched an operathon which will identify criminals and arrest

them. We also do raids in the morning. 500 people have bedn

arrested so far and that will continue. Have the other police

forces, did on these figures? We have just heard from Derbyshire s

chief constable. He said thd raids are among the lows in the country.

He is Lincoln that arise in shoplifting to cuts in the pleasing

budget and cuts to other projects. He said a lot of these deaths are

happening at three supermarkets due to people stealing small amounts of

food and alcohol. A similar issue has been identified by not sure s

police Commissioner `` Notts. All the police forces would likd the

shops do more it themselves. Next tonight, the growing w`rnings

over the rising temperature. With tomorrow likely to be

the hottest day of the year so far, people across the region ard being

told to stay safe in the sun. One GP says the elderly

and vulnerable should be especially careful ` and there are also

warnings not to swim in rivdrs. But of course for many people `

and businesses ` When the sun is out staying indoors

can be the safest thing to do but at this centre they know how d`ngerous

the heat can be. If you are out in the bright sunshine without

protection you can get dehydrated easily, so it is a worry. I am

worried about him not eating. He is my guide dog and my life. Today the

temperature almost nudged 30 degrees, tomorrow it may go above

it. In the previous heatwavd breathable guide and while ht won't

be as severe this year, the advice remains important. Stay out of the

sun vertically at midday. If you're going out, cover up. But sunscreen

on, drink plenty of fluids. Look at the yourself. If you have concerns,

seek help. There are also w`rnings not to swim in rivers and c`nals and

check your car's tyres before a long journey. Many others can't wait to

get out into the sun. It is brilliant. We are loving it. It is

not the work and outside. I've been here since 8:30am and will be here

all day. For businesses rishng temperatures can lead to rising

prices, like this ice cream factory. Orders can go up by 40% when it is

hard and they are expecting to make 25,000 litres of ice cream.

Everybody wants ice cream now and we have a problem. We can't cope with

the deliveries because therd is too much. The big question is how long

will it last. The reason it has been so hot is that we have

high`pressure, drawing of the humid air all the way from northern

Africa. We will see the peak of the tomorrow but it comes to an end on

Friday night. Low pressure hn from the West and interacts with that

humid air. It could be thundery Enjoyed safely while you can,

because the rain is on its way. Campaigners have won a High Court

battle against controversial cuts to There have been protests

against the County Council's decision to hand 30 librarids over

to volunteers to save money. But today, that idea was qu`shed

by a High Court Judge. The council says it is disappointed,

but campaigners say people need It is a historic decision

for the people of Lincolnshhre and we would like to say

on behalf of the campaign, thank you to the thousands `nd

thousands of people in Lincolnshire The vulnerable in society,

those people who want to better The elderly, mothers and chhldren,

they have a right to librarx and a library service and I think this

is the great victory for today. Airbus flew

"city centre living" only c`tered for those who wanted to be hn flats

` often the young and the trendy. But now part of central Derby is

being transformed The first homes in the Castleward

area will go on sale this wdekend. It's hoped the ?100 million project

which is a good mix of housds and apartments. This is a three bed

showroom. These homes go on sale this weekend, the cheapest of which

is ?130,000. Three quarters of the homes of the sale. The cost of

living should be Villa to bd cheap here. One doesn't have to travel

far. `` relatively cheap. Wd will work with the local NHS. It is a big

neighbourhood. It can stand on its own. People can recognise it as a

place that they live here and a happy year. Perhaps the biggest

difference everybody in Derby will be this, the walk between the train

station and the city centre has always been a bit grim, but now

you'll be able to walk here which will be a tree`lined boulev`rd.

There will be some shops and businesses, but it is the

reintroduction homes here that is hoped will give a sense of community

and identity. The RSPCA says its seeing a worrying

increase in the number of horses It says the rising cost

of looking after them, coupled with a crash in their sale price,

are at the root of the problem. Today it joined with other charities

to offer cut`price micro`chhpping Sarah Teale has this report

from Derbyshire. Some of the horses

which have been rescued The organisation describes ht

as a crisis situation. I have seen some horrendous cases,

unfortunately. The worst ones I had to deal

with where they have been I've dealt with some quite stomach

churning things in my time. It is things I don't want to see

and something we want to prdvent Today, the RSPCA and horse charities

held an action date at this All horses

him, but the RSPCA say they're They have 900 abandoned horses

so bad now? The problem has been getting bad

for a few years now. The big issue is

the market has dropped. The price of horses has fallen,

so the breeders of these horses are not able to sell them

at the prices they normally get Unfortunately, the welfare of

the animals is sometimes suffering. This local horse breeder turned

up with ten of his animals. It is usually ?70 to get

a horse passport, so if you can get These horses are all chipped,

checked and ready to roam. Happy horses and fewer for the RSPCA

the court since they were tdenagers We 100% trust each other

thing, that you support each other. So as the official Mr and Mrs

for its caves but it looks like It's all to do with

the work that's underway to restore the Malt Cross, one of the city s

best known Victorian pubs. They've hit a brick wall,

so to speak. And behind that wall is,

potentially, It was built in 1877

and you will find it just ottside The Malt Cross is the only saloon

musical still used outside London. Some of the ?1.3 million

Heritage Lottery Fund will refurbish its famous upstairs

but the bulk will be spent When we filmed earlier in the year,

the lower ground floor still bore many of the hallmarks

of the restaurant it used to be We have ripped out all of the Indian

restaurant decor that was hdre. In the process we have found these

beautiful pillars hidden in the concrete with Egypti`n

hieroglyphics on them. The Victorians were very fond

of Egypt and Egyptology. This will become a music sttdio

about their work, we are uncovering Carved in one of these pill`rs is

this was a monastery and thhs was a well, the only source of water in

this part of the city and the monks What is really exciting is that

and tonnes of clay and debrhs, We think there is a hidden cave

behind that wall, and the longest wine vault in the country, taking

us down to the old Market Spuare. It was used in about the 1800s

as a wine cellar, and then later on All of its secrets will be

on show when it reopens latdr this year as a pub, music venue

and educational centre, but could Time for the weather. It has been in

the news how hot it is getthng. It was hot enough for me today, 26

degrees. It will be getting even hotter tomorrow. We will get to the

30s. We have a heatwave warning out. It is all common sense, keep out of

the midday sun and apply th`t cream. What concerns me is what will

follow. That atmosphere is poised to release that energy as thunderstorms

on Friday night and into Saturday. A yellow warning has been issted that

could be upgraded to amber hn due course, so watch this space. Let's

start with the niceties. It has been a fine summer's day, lots of blue

sky and sunshine. Staying fhne into the evening but some changes

overnight. We will see the clouds increasing and a line of showers

pushing their way in. They will fizzle out as a move north. The main

issue with the weather tonight will be that heat, very muggy and humid

night burglars down to 16 or 17 degrees. Tomorrow morning whll be

cloudy `` temperatures down. A gorgeous looking at noon tolorrow

but that is when those tempdratures will rocket to 31 Celsius. That will

spark of these thunderstorms into Friday night and Saturday morning.

Clouds will thicken up Frid`y night and those thunderstorms will push

their way in Saturday morning, becoming widespread. The locations

will vary so some places will miss these but if you catch one,

torrential downpours and thd risk of flooding. Look at these

temperatures. 18 to 19 degrdes as a minimum. Not all doom and gloom

Saturday. Those are the showers will clear away, so some sunshind, but

the potential for more showdrs. That is what you call an angry looking

map. It feels tropical. We shouldn't complain. I will be back with your
