:01:28. > :01:29.Today with Anne Davies and le, Maurice Flynn. Tonight ` thd
:01:30. > :01:33.terminally ill woman who's home was ransacked while she was in hospital.
:01:34. > :01:36.This house that she has paid for through working in a factorx. Also
:01:37. > :01:40.tonight, it could simple blood tests have saved the life of young Harry?
:01:41. > :01:44.And the research this woman says has helped her survive long cancer. It
:01:45. > :01:48.is amazing. I hope to be here a bit longer and would not be alive if it
:01:49. > :01:51.was not for this drug. Hello and Welcome to tonight's progralme.
:01:52. > :01:55.Those stories coming up but first we can reveal that several men have now
:01:56. > :01:58.been arrested on suspicion of raping children at care homes. It follows
:01:59. > :02:00.dozens of historic allegations of abuse around Nottingham and in
:02:01. > :02:03.Derbyshire. And tonight it's emerged that one suspect has died shnce
:02:04. > :02:06.being questioned by detectives. Our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy
:02:07. > :02:08.Ball, can tell us more. How significant is this investigation?
:02:09. > :02:10.Detectives have now identifhed 0 potential victims. Part of this
:02:11. > :02:12.inquiry is the children's home in Mapperley where a number of
:02:13. > :02:17.residents claimed they suffdred horrific physical and sexual abuse.
:02:18. > :02:21.James is one of them. He told me that he was gang`raped at Bdechwood
:02:22. > :02:25.from the age of ten. And whdn he tried to complain to the police he
:02:26. > :02:31.simply wasn't believed. I break down sometimes when it comes to lind and
:02:32. > :02:36.if I have a drink it is worse, the memory comes back. Even thotgh I am
:02:37. > :02:41.on very high sleeping tablets, I still wake up with nightmards. I
:02:42. > :02:47.cannot forget it. They were there to look after me, not to abuse me. So
:02:48. > :02:54.how difficult is this investigation? It's been extremely complex. Because
:02:55. > :03:08.these allegations go back more than 40 years. And that means
:03:09. > :03:18.corroborating details of whdre abuse allegedly took place and who carried
:03:19. > :03:26.out that abuse. From many, lany years ago. So far ten men h`ve been
:03:27. > :03:44.arrested as part of this inpuiry. The police say seven won't face any
:03:45. > :03:55.action. This investigation's far from over. The family of a child who
:03:56. > :04:01.died after being released from hospital want to know if a simple
:04:02. > :04:06.blood test could have saved his life. After waiting nine hotrs
:04:07. > :04:10.without any tests they asked if they could take him home for the evening
:04:11. > :04:17.and the doctor said so long as he comes back in the morning. We took
:04:18. > :04:22.him in on the Saturday mornhng and they said he would be disch`rged and
:04:23. > :04:27.they said you are not getting the test, we are discharging yot and you
:04:28. > :04:33.can take him home. Then I fhnd him the next morning, he had passed
:04:34. > :04:41.away. The parents say they still do not know why their son died. I want
:04:42. > :04:46.answers from the hospital. Hf I neglected my child or even `n animal
:04:47. > :04:49.I would be prosecuted. That is what the hospital bed. They left my son
:04:50. > :05:01.there for nine hours and nothing happened.
:05:02. > :05:12.Whatever the outcome, Harry's parents say they will never be able
:05:13. > :05:19.to come to terms with what happened to their son. They also found a hard
:05:20. > :05:31.armour and said they would do an ECG on him but they did not. He was just
:05:32. > :05:34.left. In other news tonight, A Nottinghamshire prison has been
:05:35. > :05:37.described as one of the most dangerous jails that inspectors have
:05:38. > :05:40.visited in some time. The rdport by the Prisons Inspectorate saxs Ranby
:05:41. > :05:43.Jail is unsafe with high levels of violence. Four inmates have taken
:05:44. > :05:46.their own lives since 2013. Prison officials say the governor has taken
:05:47. > :05:49.decisive action to address the problems. Union leaders havd been
:05:50. > :05:52.meeting with bosses at the bread maker Hovis today, after thd company
:05:53. > :05:56.announced plans to close its bakery in Leicester with the loss of two
:05:57. > :05:59.hundred jobs. The site will shut early next year. The Bakers, Food
:06:00. > :06:02.and Allied Workers Union will meet with Hovis again on Monday to
:06:03. > :06:06.discuss options for keeping jobs on site. In a statement, the company
:06:07. > :06:09.said it needed to reduce its manufacturing operations to remain
:06:10. > :06:12.competitive. No further acthon will be taken against a food mantfacturer
:06:13. > :06:22.that supplied halal lamb burgers with pork in them to schools in
:06:23. > :06:25.Leicester. The City Council withdrew the burgers given to 19 schools last
:06:26. > :06:28.year, after tests showed thdy contained up to 50% pork. However an
:06:29. > :06:32.investigation by the authorhty found Paragon Quality Foods Limitdd
:06:33. > :06:38.exercised "due diligence". Xou're watching East Midlands Todax, with
:06:39. > :06:41.Anne and Maurice tonight. Still lots to come ` particularly if you're a
:06:42. > :06:54.keen knitter or know someond who is. Your Country Needs you!
:06:55. > :06:59.A 71`year`old woman from Lehcester who is in hospital with terlinal
:07:00. > :07:06.cancer, has had her home ransacked and thousands of pounds worth of
:07:07. > :07:09.gold stolen. Naseem Moghal's family say they feel shattered by the
:07:10. > :07:28.burglary at the family home in Wigston. The jewellery is v`lued at
:07:29. > :07:31.around ?50,000. A reward of ?50 0 is being offered for information that
:07:32. > :07:39.leads to an arrest and convhction, as Emily Anderson reports. While my
:07:40. > :07:47.mum was at her weakest point in hospital we did not protect the
:07:48. > :07:52.house so we have let her down. She came here 40 years ago bringing with
:07:53. > :08:00.her the jury which was stoldn which has been in the family for 050
:08:01. > :08:03.years. She always worked hard and carried on working until earlier
:08:04. > :08:09.this year when she was admitted to hospital. All of this housing
:08:10. > :08:17.including the bricks and mortar she paid for through working for the
:08:18. > :08:22.very long time. The police do not think the house was targeted because
:08:23. > :08:29.there was Asian cold there, they think it was a cruel attack on an
:08:30. > :08:33.empty home. These callous individuals showed no regard for
:08:34. > :08:37.this family's feelings. Thex broke into this one, ransacked it and
:08:38. > :08:44.stole a large amount of Asi`n jewellery. We want to do evdrything
:08:45. > :08:49.within the law to bring these despicable people to justicd. This
:08:50. > :08:57.was tipped over and bits of it broken off. They have not told their
:08:58. > :09:04.mum about the break`in, the say it would destroy her. The jury is worth
:09:05. > :09:09.thousands of pounds but the family say the sentimental value is
:09:10. > :09:12.priceless. A man who denies murder got his own family to flee from
:09:13. > :09:16.their home only hours beford the house two doors away was set ablaze
:09:17. > :09:20.in a botched revenge attack, killing four people. Abdul Hakim saxs he
:09:21. > :09:23.feared he'd get the blame as he was at the scene when the sports coach
:09:24. > :09:27.Antoin Akpom was fatally st`bbed. Mike O'Sullivan can tell us more
:09:28. > :09:36.from Nottingham Crown Court. Mike what's been said about that warning.
:09:37. > :09:41.Well the court's heard that the warning to get out of the house was
:09:42. > :09:44.given over the course of a series of phone calls made by 20`year`old
:09:45. > :09:47.Abdul Hakim to his mother shortly after Antoin Akpom was fatally
:09:48. > :09:50.stabbed in September last ydar. Mr Hakim denies murder but was at the
:09:51. > :09:54.scene of the stabbing and w`s concerned he'd get the blamd. He
:09:55. > :09:58.told his mother to leave thd house in Wood Hill in Leicester and take
:09:59. > :10:08.his younger sisters aged 15 and seven with her. She did that. Seven
:10:09. > :10:11.hours after the stabbing at around half past midnight, a house two
:10:12. > :10:15.doors away from Abdul Hakim's home was targeted in a botched rdvenge
:10:16. > :10:18.arson attack. Eight men, now jailed, were involved in setting fire to the
:10:19. > :10:23.house, killing four members of the Taufiq family, a mother and three
:10:24. > :10:26.children, aged 15 to 19. Thdy were well`respected members of the
:10:27. > :10:39.community and had absolutelx nothing to do with the stabbing at `ll.
:10:40. > :10:43.Giving evidence in the witndss stand in his defence, Mr Hakim sahd, I
:10:44. > :10:47.knew that they are going to try to attack me sir or if they cannot get
:10:48. > :10:51.me they are going to get my family. I telephoned my mum to tell her to
:10:52. > :11:01.get the kids out of the house, my little sisters. " What's he said
:11:02. > :11:04.about the stabbing itself? Well the stabbing happened in Kent Street in
:11:05. > :11:09.Leicester at around 5:30 in the afternoon. Mr Akpom was in ` group
:11:10. > :11:11.of round eight or nine men from a gym who confronted Mr Hakim and
:11:12. > :11:15.another man, 19`year`old Hussein Hussein. Mr Hakim says Mr Akpom
:11:16. > :11:18.swung a dumbell at him. Hussein Hussein has already been convicted
:11:19. > :11:22.of murder and he actually stabbed Mr Akpom. Mr Hakim says the first he
:11:23. > :11:26.knew of that was when he saw blood on Hussein Hussein's jacket as they
:11:27. > :11:41.ran away. He says he never knew Hussein Hussein had a knife. The
:11:42. > :11:47.case continues. Ofsted inspdctors say a troubled free school hs making
:11:48. > :11:53.progress getting out of special measures. Last year it was described
:11:54. > :11:58.as dysfunctional and inadeqtate The primary school is now run bx a new
:11:59. > :12:07.trust. The latest inspection report says staff are tackling the issues
:12:08. > :12:11.that were raised. The region's Ambulance Service has hit all of its
:12:12. > :12:14.response time targets for the first half of the year ` something it
:12:15. > :12:18.failed to do throughout last year. EMAS was fined for a third
:12:19. > :12:20.successive year in 2013 aftdr it failed to meet national targets for
:12:21. > :12:23.patients involved in life`threatening emergencies. The
:12:24. > :12:25.service said the action its taken to improve response times is "paying
:12:26. > :12:29.dividends". Severn Trent Water says it's been able to cut the ntmber of
:12:30. > :12:33.water leaks in the region to its lowest ever level. But it admits it
:12:34. > :12:36.can still do more. And one Derby city councillor has called on the
:12:37. > :12:51.company to also tackle problems caused by flash flooding. Shmon Hare
:12:52. > :12:54.reports. A major water leak on Blackburn Rovers in Leicestdr. It
:12:55. > :13:03.was being treated this mornhng within hours of being reported. It
:13:04. > :13:13.is still losing a quarter of the company's supplies everyday. We try
:13:14. > :13:17.to maintain a continuous supply to our customers. We have over 46, 00
:13:18. > :13:23.kilometres of pipework in the region. With the resources we have
:13:24. > :13:31.we can only cover a small alount at any one time so we rely on customers
:13:32. > :13:36.to notify us of any they sed. Not a water leak at a flash flood last
:13:37. > :13:42.weekend caused by a torrenthal downpour. There is a storm drain
:13:43. > :13:46.under the road here which h`s obviously collapsed Horsfield cause
:13:47. > :14:02.all this came up with the pressure of the water. They have not had a
:14:03. > :14:06.good record at fixing leaks but if they are focusing on that at the
:14:07. > :14:16.expense of major infrastructure like this there are major problels. They
:14:17. > :14:20.need to focus on both. They are investing in sewerage and strface
:14:21. > :14:26.drain pipes to cope with thd volume of rainwater. Next tonight ht's the
:14:27. > :14:35.biggest cancer killer in thd East Midlands. Lung cancer. Doctors say
:14:36. > :14:39.to improve survival we need to make earlier diagnosis and improve
:14:40. > :14:42.treatment and research. At King s Mill Hospital in Nottinghamshire
:14:43. > :14:46.they've been trialling a drtg which they hope will help some patients

:15:38. > :15:44.for all lung cancers, it sedms to work on some cell receptors which
:15:45. > :15:50.have a particular genetic mttation. They treat the cancer by working on
:15:51. > :15:59.certain cells and limiting their ability to grow. We were thd highest
