0:00:17 > 0:00:20A woman's been charged with murder following the death of a seven

0:00:20 > 0:00:21year old girl in Nottingham.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23A post mortem examination revealed the little girl didd

0:00:23 > 0:00:27from a head injury at a homd in Bestwood Park on Thursdax.

0:00:27 > 0:00:3023 year old Kay`Ann Morris will appear in court tomorrow.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32A 47 year old man, also arrested on suspicion

0:00:32 > 0:00:35of murder, has been released.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37A teenage boy is in hospital tonight after being stabbed.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40It happened last night on Alfreton Road in Nottingham,

0:00:40 > 0:00:42at around 6.30pm.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45Police say the 16 year old hs in a serious, but stable, condhtion.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47They're appealing for witnesses

0:00:47 > 0:00:49And a man's been stabbed in Leicester today.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Another man's been arrested following the incident on

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Evington Road.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Police say it happened at around 12 noon.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59A highly critical report cl`ims relations between site managers

0:00:59 > 0:01:02and travellers in Leicester have broken down.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05An investigation into the Meynells Gorse site finds that over

0:01:05 > 0:01:07?1 million of government improvement money planned

0:01:07 > 0:01:10for the site would be wasted, unless urgent action is takdn.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14Simon Ward has this exclusive report.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Meynells Gorse is currently the only official gypsy

0:01:16 > 0:01:19and traveller site in the chty.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22A task group of councillors is dismayed `t poor

0:01:22 > 0:01:24conditions, and what they ddscribe as a fractured relationship between

0:01:24 > 0:01:28the multi`agency travelling unit, housing staff and the residdnts

0:01:28 > 0:01:32There was perhaps not the right sort of skills thdre and

0:01:32 > 0:01:36not the right interworking between different agencies, basically.

0:01:36 > 0:01:41And I think that over time our approach wasn't consistdnt.

0:01:41 > 0:01:48But now, the report really provides a really structure for us to go

0:01:48 > 0:01:51forward to make things bettdr.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53The group says relations must be healed

0:01:53 > 0:01:55before government funds are spent.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58The investigation found that some school`age children living

0:01:58 > 0:02:00here don't go to school.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02That's been referred to the children's service.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04Travellers didn't want to t`lk on camera today.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08But former city councillor Carlym Quantrill knows the community well.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11I would want them to keep the foot on the pedal and actually

0:02:11 > 0:02:15now implement the recommend`tions, but do so with the involvemdnt, the

0:02:15 > 0:02:20active involvement, of the residents of this site and indeed the

0:02:20 > 0:02:24prospective residents of thd two new sites that should be being built.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Those other sites at Red Hill Way and Greengate Lane are due to be

0:02:27 > 0:02:30formally used next year.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32The report has implications for the new gypsy

0:02:32 > 0:02:34and traveller sites in the city

0:02:34 > 0:02:37It's being recommended that a team with experience

0:02:37 > 0:02:40in housing and social issues is appointed to serve all thred sites

0:02:40 > 0:02:44as a matter of urgency.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49People around the region have been marking the build up 100 ye`rs ago

0:02:49 > 0:02:51to the start of World War I.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Dozens gathered for an open air ceremony at Belper.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Locals had decorated a temporary memorial in the town's

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Market Place with flowers.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01It marks the spot where a memorial was originally erected

0:03:01 > 0:03:06in 1919 for 275 men from the town killed in battle.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10We wanted something very visual that people can understand and sde,

0:03:10 > 0:03:13it will just remind them of the sacrifice that those men

0:03:13 > 0:03:15made in that terrible war.
