:00:00. > :00:00.One Welcome to East Midlands Today,
:00:00. > :00:00.with me, Dominic Heale. Tonight ` a new lease of life
:00:00. > :00:18.for a blighted neighbourhood. This was once known as the Street of
:00:19. > :00:22.shame in Mansfield, but ambhtious plans for a new community h`ve been
:00:23. > :00:27.shown for the first time. Also denied, the council brhnging in
:00:28. > :00:32.restaurant style hygiene ratings for tattooists.
:00:33. > :00:37.And East Midlands scientists predicts a golden age of drtgs to
:00:38. > :00:41.treat dementia. If not kill the disease, we will certainly be able
:00:42. > :00:48.to slow down progression. In sport, and East Midlands gold
:00:49. > :00:49.rush in Glasgow. We will be bringing you all the latest from the
:00:50. > :00:58.Commonwealth Games. First tonight `
:00:59. > :01:03.an area that was so blighted by crime and anti`social behaviour
:01:04. > :01:07.it was dubbed a "street of shame" For years,
:01:08. > :01:14.homes in Mansfield's Brownlow Road Now, finally,
:01:15. > :01:22.there are plans for a full`scale Locals say it should have h`ppened
:01:23. > :01:37.a long time ago. This is a former mining comlunity
:01:38. > :01:42.that has really suffered. Homes were boarded up years ago and it became a
:01:43. > :01:46.ghost town, target for vand`ls. Then three years ago, the homes were
:01:47. > :01:51.knocked down as plans were drawn up for redevelopment. This is what it
:01:52. > :01:56.looks like now, overgrown. Ht was as far back as 1919 that this guy
:01:57. > :02:00.threatening to 90 that this was called the Street of shame.
:02:01. > :02:06.Ambitious plans for a new community have been shown for the first time
:02:07. > :02:10.today. `` 1990. This is how it could look, 64 new homes for older people
:02:11. > :02:16.who need some care but also want to live independently. It is a lovely
:02:17. > :02:24.design, it feels like a village more than one building. Less like an
:02:25. > :02:29.institution. So hopefully, ht'll be like village within the widdr
:02:30. > :02:34.community. People living ne`rby say it should have been done ye`rs ago.
:02:35. > :02:40.I think really it should have been done a long time ago and it is the
:02:41. > :02:48.best thing that they did, and they have redeveloped it. In the last few
:02:49. > :02:55.years, well, you dare not ldave your door open. Some days, you c`nnot
:02:56. > :03:00.even leave it now. It was a very rough street, I saw a lot of police
:03:01. > :03:06.down there. It will be in nhce to have the community. `` it whll be
:03:07. > :03:14.nice. The Mayor grew up a stone s throwaway. Almost a century of
:03:15. > :03:20.getting out of that problem. It has taken that long to lift the street
:03:21. > :03:26.from shame. It is a giant htrdle. It could be a superb scheme. The
:03:27. > :03:29.residents will be over the loon The old street of shame could bdcome a
:03:30. > :03:34.place where people are proud to live when the new homes are finished
:03:35. > :03:37.The mother of the murdered Leicester teenager Antoin Akpom has spoken out
:03:38. > :03:40.about the dangers of carrying a knife on the streets.
:03:41. > :03:43.Cheryl Armatrading made her comments after a man was today cleardd of any
:03:44. > :03:53.But another man has already been jailed for life for thd murder.
:03:54. > :03:59.Mike O'Sullivan has been following events today in court
:04:00. > :04:08.Good evening. Who has been cleared? Good evening. Yes, the jury cleared
:04:09. > :04:13.a man who has been on trial at Nottingham Crown Court seven days,
:04:14. > :04:17.20 old Abdul Hakim, who was cleared of murder. The jury was discharged
:04:18. > :04:21.because it failed to reach ` verdict on an alternative charge of
:04:22. > :04:26.manslaughter. This was a retrial so the prosecution say they will not be
:04:27. > :04:30.any further proceedings agahnst Abdul Hakim. At the first trial
:04:31. > :04:34.Hussain Hussain from London was convicted of murder and is now
:04:35. > :04:40.serving life with a minimum of 2 years for fatally stabbing @ntoin
:04:41. > :04:47.Akpom. What has been the re`ction outside court? Afterwords, Cheryl
:04:48. > :04:56.Armatrading, the mother of @ntoin, gave her the action. The st`b wounds
:04:57. > :04:59.was only a couple of centimdtres deep but collapsed his long and
:05:00. > :05:07.there was extensive bleeding. This is what she had to say. I would not
:05:08. > :05:10.advise people to walk with weapons because you do not know what
:05:11. > :05:14.situation you will find yourself in, and if you are forced to usd it you
:05:15. > :05:21.do not know what the conseqtence will be. Possession of bladdd
:05:22. > :05:29.articles or knives went up by 5 % in Leicestershire in 2013 to 2014,
:05:30. > :05:34.although what `` only 124 fdnces. But the police want this case to
:05:35. > :05:39.highlight the dangers. We nded to stop them carrying knives, so we
:05:40. > :05:42.need to show them, these ard the consequences. Someone has lost the
:05:43. > :05:48.life. But also, we will prosecute people who carry them. Of course,
:05:49. > :05:54.there were far reaching consequences in this case as well. There was a
:05:55. > :06:02.botched revenge arson attack on the home of Abdul Hakim, intenddd for
:06:03. > :06:07.his home, eight men now jailed, they got the wrong house and killed four
:06:08. > :06:08.innocent people. Today in court it was said that Abdul Hakim whll not

:10:32. > :10:36.isolating condition. This is fantastic, carers can lose some of
:10:37. > :10:40.the isolation which can happen when you are caring for somebody who does
:10:41. > :10:46.not respond. It means meeting other people like the group here, sharing
:10:47. > :10:50.their stories and experiencds, and it lightens the load. It is
:10:51. > :10:55.estimated around 90 million people in the UK know a close family member
:10:56. > :11:00.or friend who is affected bx dementia. This charity walk is not
:11:01. > :11:12.just about raising awareness, but also about raising vital funds for
:11:13. > :11:16.research. This animation highlights the work being carried out by
:11:17. > :11:19.scientists at the Universitx of Nottingham. Professor Morgan says
:11:20. > :11:24.they are in a golden period of research. There should be c`utious
:11:25. > :11:30.hope that within the next ddcade or maybe 15 years at most, there will
:11:31. > :11:35.be availability of drugs th`t can not kill the disease, will certainly
:11:36. > :11:44.be able to slow down progression of the disorder. Whilst a cure seems a

:13:06. > :13:08.his star sign is Capricorn, According to one
:13:09. > :13:14.of today's newspaper astrologers, the Tory MP may have to risd to
:13:15. > :13:18.a small challenge. But he'll face
:13:19. > :13:20.a huge challenge to win over the doubters, especially thd
:13:21. > :13:25.medical profession, that sttdying astrological charts can improve the
:13:26. > :13:32.health and well`being of patients. I know I'm going to get a lot
:13:33. > :13:37.of friendly e`mails for having the temerity to talk
:13:38. > :13:40.about astrology in this House. But I'm absolutely convinced that

:14:15. > :14:17.anticipating some negative reaction, but he's also been inundated with
:14:18. > :14:23.supportive emails, messages too He says astrology's been taken

:15:26. > :15:28.will not finish until only next year but ready there is pressure to roll
:15:29. > :15:35.it out north of the city, to Kimberley. It is not only about
:15:36. > :15:45.relieving traffic chaos, it is about jobs, growth, regeneration. It is
:15:46. > :15:51.about connectivity, road, r`il, tram. This is the campaigners'
:15:52. > :15:56.preferred route, avoiding the high street and it utilises redundant
:15:57. > :15:58.railway tracks. They say its construction would cause minimal
:15:59. > :16:04.disruption to businesses, btt not everyone is convinced. If it came
:16:05. > :16:10.down the high street, no, I wouldn't be. If it went down into thd retail
:16:11. > :16:15.park, rather than bringing people here, I wouldn't be. If it brings
:16:16. > :16:23.more people here to spend money in my shop, fantastic. I am ag`inst it
:16:24. > :16:27.because I would think it wotld mean people are bypassing Kimberley

:16:47. > :16:47.all too well that it is polhtical backing they need before thd
