:08:39. > :08:46.reluctantly complied. Relathves are angry. It looks like a prison. We
:08:47. > :08:54.are not in a prison. People have come here for the end of thdir
:08:55. > :08:58.lives. It is my wife's home and it should be made as pleasant `s

:09:50. > :09:51.from the Nottinghamshire Fire We asked him

:10:08. > :10:13.express my regret and the dhstress caused to family and members at this

:10:21. > :10:26.adult social care in Nottinghamshire and also a leading dementia care
:10:27. > :10:34.organisation. What advice you talking about? We have workdd with

:10:41. > :10:44.providing care in care homes and how to provide it safely without

:10:50. > :10:55.outlines what can safely be used to provide a positive stabilitx
:10:56. > :10:59.environments... Are you sayhng that they ignored the leaflet and what
:11:00. > :11:04.was on the wall should not have been there or what you saying thdy did
:11:05. > :11:11.not go about it in the right way? The reports I have seen that we have
:11:12. > :11:15.`` that we insisted on having everything removed, is not correct.
:11:16. > :11:20.There are numerous ways that a positive environment can be created
:11:21. > :11:26.in hallways without comprishng our regulations. So there is no reason
:11:27. > :11:31.why her premises should havd been turned into a Vittoria and
:11:32. > :11:36.institution with their walls? That is exactly what I am saying. I'm
:11:37. > :11:41.finding it hard to understand how the advice that was given bx
:11:42. > :11:44.ourselves and other organis`tions has been misinterpreted to the
:11:45. > :11:48.extent that care homes feel that they need to remove everythhng.

:15:33. > :15:35.One, much has been reported about the impact the conflict had
:15:36. > :15:37.on individuals and communithes. But the Great War also had `
:15:38. > :15:40.profound impact on local industry. In Nottingham it saw the beginning
:15:41. > :15:55.of a decline in lace`making from Nottingham is the home of
:15:56. > :16:01.lacemaking. The Queen meets people at their work. In the 1950s, this
:16:02. > :16:08.work has already declined dramatically since the great War.
:16:09. > :16:15.Before then, it has thrived. Nottingham was the global cdntre for
:16:16. > :16:20.lace. Before the war, is employed nearly 40,000 people and hundreds of
:16:21. > :16:30.companies and. Now, there is just this one left. `` 40,000 people at
:16:31. > :16:39.hundreds of companies. So what started the decline? During the war,
:16:40. > :16:45.many men left to go and fight and that `` and they did not return
:16:46. > :16:56.Plus changes to fashion saw a requirement for lace declind. Before
:16:57. > :17:00.the war, many garments had ` lot of lace on them and women more
:17:01. > :17:05.decorative, with a wet out socialising more. During thd war,
:17:06. > :17:10.they had to get out and do wall `` and do work, replacing the len. This
:17:11. > :17:16.is a smart suit from the period of the First World War. Very practical,
:17:17. > :17:21.not at all Lacey. Practical clothing ended the demand for lace. But when
:17:22. > :17:27.the industry was thriving, dxports were worth millions of pounds.
:17:28. > :17:32.Factories like this one and others across the Irrawaddy rally produced
:17:33. > :17:40.the unfinished lace. It was `` across this area. It was taken to be
:17:41. > :17:51.finished, died and made ready to sell. Unfinished lace was also sold
:17:52. > :18:00.to be finished in other are`s. The lace machines work smashed tp and
:18:01. > :18:06.the machinery was used to prop up the trenches. So that is part of the
:18:07. > :18:10.reason for the decline? Yes. We didn't get the stuff to export and
:18:11. > :18:17.also there was no lace at the end of the war. So the industry become
:18:18. > :18:22.another casualty of the gre`t War. Now, only this factory is ldft to
:18:23. > :18:29.keep the tradition alive. Nottingham can be proud of its lace makers
:18:30. > :18:37.people skill. You can't beat a bit of lace. Or a bit of sport.
:18:38. > :18:39.First, three new deals at Derby Cotnty
:18:40. > :18:41.Not for players, but for head coach Steve McClaren,
:18:42. > :18:44.first team coach Paul Simpson and goalkeeping coach Eric Steele.
:18:45. > :18:46.They've all committed their future to the Rams until 2007.
:18:47. > :18:48.McClaren says agreeing to it was a no`brainer.
:18:49. > :19:04.So, a new season brings new contracts for Steve McClaren and his
:19:05. > :19:07.coaching team. No wonder thdn that the head coach had a big smhle on
:19:08. > :19:13.his face on the training ground today. I think it's important to
:19:14. > :19:17.show commitment. We have asked the players to do that. We have asked
:19:18. > :19:22.the players to sign longer contracts for the future. And once thdy were
:19:23. > :19:26.all done, we sat down and thought we had better commit ourselves. If we
:19:27. > :19:33.are successful, that would be the key that we are all committdd, all
:19:34. > :19:38.heading in the same direction. From a squad point of view, it is a
:19:39. > :19:43.fantastic bit of news. Of the left, we have all enjoyed working with him
:19:44. > :19:48.and the coaching staff. I fdel that in the last year, my game w`s
:19:49. > :19:56.consistent. Now a lot of it is down to the manager. It is over 02 months
:19:57. > :20:01.since this team went into the Derby dressing room. They led thel to a
:20:02. > :20:05.club record points total so it is no surprise that the American owners
:20:06. > :20:11.wanted to persuade them. It did not take much to persuade them to sign
:20:12. > :20:19.the new Deal. I flew over to Chicago and met them. They are ambitious as
:20:20. > :20:26.well. I thought we can develop this. We can develop this project and club
:20:27. > :20:32.and get it to where it belongs. There is no doubt on the impact
:20:33. > :20:34.McLaren has had on this teal and prove that the powers that be are

:21:08. > :21:12.had been an interesting week at the City ground. But he said th`t the
:21:13. > :21:15.head`to`head between himself and the club's financial people was in the
:21:16. > :21:24.past and that the owner had moved heaven and earth to bring in club
:21:25. > :21:26.record signing. This was a reasonably public fallout on
:21:27. > :21:31.occasion but it is neither here nor there. We have said our peace and
:21:32. > :21:35.got on with it. There is a game on Saturday and I want to deliver a
:21:36. > :21:43.winning performance. Stuart Pearce had been annoyed by sale `` the sale
:21:44. > :21:49.of key players. At the start of the week, if somebody had sent to me
:21:50. > :21:53.that you would sell two plaxers and get one back and turned the revenue
:21:54. > :21:57.over do the football club and invest the money into the football club,
:21:58. > :22:03.would I have done it, I would have done it. I think it is good
:22:04. > :22:09.business. Because it allowed the club to buy this striker. The
:22:10. > :22:13.21`year`old train today and for the first time after completing a club
:22:14. > :22:19.record move from Peterborough for a fee of around ?5.5 million. What
:22:20. > :22:26.about the manager played in use signing for Forest? Definitdly. When
:22:27. > :22:32.I came to the building, he lade me feel welcome. What can you promise
:22:33. > :22:41.the fans? I like to run and score goals. The one thing is that this
:22:42. > :22:46.football club, the owner has backed the manager. He has got the players
:22:47. > :22:50.in that I wanted to bring to the club. Exciting times. I would rather
:22:51. > :22:56.it be like that then in the sedate and quiet and no business bding
:22:57. > :23:01.done. It is certainly never dull here. All this before a ball has
