:05:40. > :05:44.bit off part of his ear. It's the latest in a series of attacks at the
:05:45. > :05:48.jail in Nottingham. It comes as new national figures reveal a strge in
:05:49. > :05:51.assaults on prison staff. For more, here's our Social Affairs Affairs
:05:52. > :05:55.Correspondent, Jeremy Ball. What more can you tell us about this
:05:56. > :06:00.latest attack? Details are still being investigated. But we know that
:06:01. > :06:04.police were called to the j`il yesterday morning, after an officer
:06:05. > :06:07.was assaulted. That officer's still receiving medical treatment, after
:06:08. > :06:11.being released from hospital. This afternoon we've confirmed that part
:06:12. > :06:14.of his ear was bitten off. @nd the Prison Officers' Association told me
:06:15. > :06:17.it's the latest in a string of assaults, by inmates who ard due to
:06:18. > :06:22.be deported. The reason? Well, they know they'll be prosecuted. And
:06:23. > :06:25.they're so desperate to avohd deportation, that they'd prdfer to
:06:26. > :06:33.stay in jail. What are the Prison Service saying? Well, they've sent
:06:34. > :06:36.us a statement. That says staff safety's a priority and that anyone
:06:37. > :06:41.who attacks them can expect severe consequences. But officers `t
:06:42. > :06:48.Nottingham have been raising concerns for some time. Thex held

:06:57. > :07:02.one eye. Now the POA claims the situation's getting worse. @nd
:07:03. > :07:05.they're blaming overcrowding, and staffing levels. And is this
:07:06. > :07:10.happening at other prisons? Yes Today we've had national figures
:07:11. > :07:13.from the Ministry of Justicd. There were 370 serious assaults on prison
:07:14. > :07:20.officers across England and Wales last year. That's the highest on
:07:21. > :07:22.record. The government's bedn talking about the prison service
:07:23. > :07:28.facing "challenges," while the opposition's talking about `
:07:29. > :07:43."crisis". And just last weekend there was a serious disturb`nce at
:07:44. > :07:47.Nottinghamshire's Ranby Prison. Within the last hour police have

:08:08. > :08:12.and identify the body. This morning the damage to this Nottingh`m
:08:13. > :08:16.clothing factory became cle`r. Overnight, when the blaze w`s at its
:08:17. > :08:24.height there were 50 firefighters here. There were some night shift
:08:25. > :08:28.workers at the nearby superlarket who were evacuated. People nearby
:08:29. > :08:37.were told to close doors and windows as smoke poured out. I am bdlow It
:08:38. > :08:42.was just eyelevel with this factory and the flames were above that. It
:08:43. > :08:52.looked as if it was getting quite fears. Police confirmed tod`y a body
:08:53. > :08:58.was found inside the factorx and it has yet to be identified. There are
:08:59. > :09:05.no indications yet as to how the fire started. There will be an
:09:06. > :09:10.ongoing investigation to get to the bottom of the cause. The order of

:11:03. > :11:06.Nottingham. Nottingham has been praised for its ambitious council
:11:07. > :11:11.house building programme. The city is creating 400 new homes over the
:11:12. > :11:15.next four years as part of ` major regeneration project. Today, the
:11:16. > :11:20.shadow housing minister toured the biggest development site at Lenton
:11:21. > :11:23.and urged the construction hndustry to pick up the pace of its building
:11:24. > :11:25.programme. Labour's predicthng a massive shortage of houses by 2 20.
:11:26. > :11:28.Sarah Teale reports. It is the largest council house buildhng
:11:29. > :11:32.project in a generation. Five tower blocks which stood years since the
:11:33. > :11:37.60s are being pulled down and replaced with 140 properties. The
:11:38. > :11:41.view from the top shows just how constantly things are changhng. One
:11:42. > :11:47.week ago that pile of rubbld down there was the tower block the same
:11:48. > :11:50.as that one. The residents were moved into this purpose`built
:11:51. > :11:56.housing accommodation for elderly people. The local MP said she would
:11:57. > :12:02.like to see more projects lhke this to meet growing demand. Labour said
:12:03. > :12:07.there would be a shortfall of homes, 100,000 of those in the East
:12:08. > :12:16.Midlands. They reckon the average house price year will rise by 3 ,000
:12:17. > :12:26.two ?212,000. They are pledging to get 200,000 homes each year bill to
:12:27. > :12:33.solve the crisis. I believe the construction industry can gdar up
:12:34. > :12:37.and move up a level. There hs no reason that with some intervention
:12:38. > :12:43.from government we can get the market working again so we can get a
:12:44. > :12:55.supply of homes which meets the man. On this site alone apprenticeships
:12:56. > :13:03.are being offered. `` meets demand. It is the big boost for the
:13:04. > :13:12.community and it takes me ott of the box from university. This whll be
:13:13. > :13:16.finished by next November. Rolls`Royce says it's genuinely
:13:17. > :13:21.sorry after some of its workers were exposed to radioactive material when
:13:22. > :13:24.a piece of equipment broke. The company's nuclear arm has admitted
:13:25. > :13:28.breaching environmental and health and safety rules, but it's denied it
:13:29. > :13:32.acted recklessly. Today, a judge decided to delay passing sentence on
:13:33. > :13:43.the company for several weeks. From Derby Crown Court, Simon Hare
:13:44. > :13:49.reports. This was the equiplent at the centre of the radiation skiers
:13:50. > :13:53.three years ago. Around the size of a small screw and normally found
:13:54. > :14:00.within the end of this road, the deed you are active source fell off
:14:01. > :14:07.during tests. It was later found and handled by four workers at this
:14:08. > :14:14.plant where components for nuclear submarines were being made. One
:14:15. > :14:21.welder wiped it on his clothes as he tried to work out what it w`s. It
:14:22. > :14:29.should normally have been kdpt safely inside this container. The
:14:30. > :14:39.barrister for Rolls`Royce s`ys the firm was genuinely sorry for what
:14:40. > :14:51.had happened. He said the rhsk of workers dying in the future was
:14:52. > :15:05.unlikely. The testing is now carried out at the new facility. Prosecution
:15:06. > :15:21.costs in this case have now run well into six figures and the judge will
:15:22. > :15:35.now have to consider what ldvel any fine will be set at. Sentencing is
:15:36. > :15:47.expected to take place in Sdptember. Leicester City Council could scrap
:15:48. > :15:54.its funding for Park And Ride services. Both Leicester City and
:15:55. > :16:01.Leicestershire County Counchl have been subsidising the servicd for the
:16:02. > :16:08.last 17 years. But the City Council's support is now under
:16:09. > :16:15.threat because of cost savings it's having to make. Campaigners in
:16:16. > :16:25.Newark have criticised plans to remove the CT scanner from the
:16:26. > :16:38.town's hospital. Managers s`y nearly half of all CT scans carried out at
:16:39. > :16:48.Newark are on patients who live closer to King's Mill Hospital.
:16:49. > :17:00.It'll put the second scanner there and Newark will get a mobild service
:17:01. > :17:14.instead. Hospital campaigners say it's another blow, following on from
:17:15. > :17:23.the loss of the town's accident and emergency department. Peopld who
:17:24. > :17:35.abuse Blue badges to park illegally in Nottingham are being warned they

:18:08. > :18:18.Allotment holders in Nottingham have taken possession of a large amount
:18:19. > :18:26.of cannabis growing equipment, but for entirely innocent horticultural
:18:27. > :18:37.reasons. The equipment's cole from the police. They confiscated it
:18:38. > :18:48.during raids on cannabis growing operations. Today it was all handed
:18:49. > :18:58.over to grateful gardeners `nd growers at St Ann's in the City
:18:59. > :19:06.Simon Ward reports. It is ghving something back to the community It
:19:07. > :19:16.comes from cannabis growers and why not give something back. It is
:19:17. > :19:28.community engagement and a good was it of outlook for something that is
:19:29. > :19:38.quite negative in the community The donation is warmly welcomed from the
:19:39. > :19:53.charity which runs the allotments. When we were asked if we wotld like
:19:54. > :20:08.to take it it was a resoundhng yes. Hopefully a lot of it will be passed
:20:09. > :20:21.around to the gardeners on the site here. Previously it would h`ve been
:20:22. > :20:34.destroyed but thanks to this scheme it can be used for legal gardening
:20:35. > :20:48.purposes instead. Still to come Looking back to the dawn of the jet
