:00:00. > :00:00.This is East Midlands Today with Dominic Heale and me, Anne Davies.
:00:07. > :00:09.Tonight: Panic at the airport.
:00:10. > :00:15.Passengers speak of a terrifying emergency landing.
:00:16. > :00:28.In the wind in the clean's wings to escape as smoke filled the cabin. We
:00:29. > :00:36.were told to get off of the plane and leave our bags. Also tonight,
:00:37. > :00:45.why the Chancellor is putting Rolls`Royce in the flame. `` in the
:00:46. > :00:54.frame. And a kidney donor for dad 's. She did not think twice. And the
:00:55. > :00:56.villagers fighting to save the historic Victorian signal box from
:00:57. > :01:07.being bulldozed by network rail. First this evening,
:01:08. > :01:11.that dramatic scramble for safety after an emergency
:01:12. > :01:17.landing at East Midlands Airport. An investigation's underway into why
:01:18. > :01:22.a Jet2 aircraft filled with smoke shortly after landing last night.
:01:23. > :01:26.The company says the plane ` which had flown from Ibiza ` had suffered
:01:27. > :01:31.a minor electrical problem. But passengers have told us there
:01:32. > :01:37.was panic as people climbed out of the emergency exit and jumped to
:01:38. > :01:39.safety off the plane's wings. Our reporter Tom Brown is at
:01:40. > :01:46.East Midlands Airport for us this evening.
:01:47. > :01:54.One passenger told as it was sheer carnage as they tried to get off.
:01:55. > :02:01.Another feared it would burst into flames. It was only as smoke filled
:02:02. > :02:11.the cabin that the panic started and people scrambled to get out. This
:02:12. > :02:17.was taken just after the people had got off of the plane. It shows an
:02:18. > :02:25.emergency slide at the front and the open door open the wing. There was
:02:26. > :02:30.an horrendous smell of burning, and electrical smell. We felt we were
:02:31. > :02:35.trapped, the smell was definitely coming from the back of the plane.
:02:36. > :02:41.That's when people started screaming, get the kids off, we just
:02:42. > :02:47.wanted the doors opened to get out, we all wanted out then. The jet came
:02:48. > :02:53.from Ibiza just after nine o'clock last night. It took two attempts to
:02:54. > :03:02.land and when it did smoke started to fill the cabin. 26 fire officers
:03:03. > :03:08.made the way to the plane to help people get out. I thought how much
:03:09. > :03:18.the people on the wings going to get down? The airline said following a
:03:19. > :03:23.safe arrival last night they had to be evacuated due to a minor
:03:24. > :03:29.electrical problem which led to some smoke in the cabin. I do not think
:03:30. > :03:39.passengers should be worried. There is a high level of checks. They tend
:03:40. > :03:45.to fly more low cost which means there are some maintenance issues
:03:46. > :03:49.every now and again but if it is a problem, it is only minor, not
:03:50. > :03:53.life`threatening. Be a problem, it is only minor, not life`threatening.
:03:54. > :03:53.The to help passengers and the year accident investigation Branch is
:03:54. > :04:00.looking into it. Coming up in the programme.
:04:01. > :04:01.Is a council being picky about litter picking?
:04:02. > :04:04.Volunteers working to keep their area tidy say they've been
:04:05. > :04:07.told they need training. Plus:
:04:08. > :04:17.After three heart attacks and a stroke treatment at hospitals saved
:04:18. > :04:24.this girl's life. Cue more about it in the programme.
:04:25. > :04:27.A pioneering scheme to bring Rolls`Royce know`how
:04:28. > :04:29.into the classroom has been unveiled by the Chancellor of the Exchequer
:04:30. > :04:32.in Derby. The aero`engine maker is to pay
:04:33. > :04:34.for up to 70 teachers to help boost science and technology
:04:35. > :04:39.in state schools. The Chancellor George Osborne said
:04:40. > :04:41.it would help create a new generation of youngsters
:04:42. > :04:42.interested in maths and science. From Derby, here's our
:04:43. > :04:59.Political Editor John Hess. Top of the class. The Chancellor was
:05:00. > :05:02.having lessons in engine building from these pupils today gobbled the
:05:03. > :05:09.classroom had shifted to Rolls`Royce. The company needs those
:05:10. > :05:16.skills for its future workforce which is why it is paying an
:05:17. > :05:24.educational charity to recruit and train an extra 75 signs teachers or
:05:25. > :05:29.schools. There have not been enough maths and science graduates, so not
:05:30. > :05:35.enough teachers, so not enough to get the next generation studying
:05:36. > :05:40.maths and science. A recent study by Ofsted said the teaching of science
:05:41. > :05:47.was needed to maintain the studio city of pupils if Britain was to
:05:48. > :05:52.compete in the world race. It was fine that science was not a priority
:05:53. > :05:59.for half of primary schools. There are also too few girls studying
:06:00. > :06:04.science and GCSE exams do not test practical skills enough. If you are
:06:05. > :06:10.a kid at school you can be inspired by what goes on at Rolls`Royce, look
:06:11. > :06:15.at the incredible technology behind me. Inspiration certainly but it is
:06:16. > :06:22.also about funding priorities. Ten years ago there was a massive debt
:06:23. > :06:29.and the underfunding of signs at university. Not enough people taking
:06:30. > :06:31.up physics and less physicists and less mathematicians. Because of that
:06:32. > :06:38.you have less teachers going forward. Could these pupils be the
:06:39. > :06:44.science and technology teachers of the future? They could well be!
:06:45. > :06:50.Absolutely! A former world champion body builder
:06:51. > :06:53.is undergoing a kidney transplant in Leicester this evening `
:06:54. > :06:56.thanks to his mum. Daz Ball, who's 34, was diagnosed
:06:57. > :06:58.with acute kidney failure last year. His mother's been able to
:06:59. > :06:59.donate her own kidney. Katrina says it's terrible
:07:00. > :07:02.so many people on the transplant waiting list die
:07:03. > :07:03.before an organ becomes available. Our Health Correspondent Rob Sissons
:07:04. > :07:14.reports. He is a fitness fanatic and even on
:07:15. > :07:21.is a gem in Leicester. The 34`year`old says it seems his kidney
:07:22. > :07:25.failure is going to high blood pressure and genetics rather than
:07:26. > :07:33.body`building. To be told your life is going to change is crazy. His mum
:07:34. > :07:39.instantly offered a kidney but he still spent a year on dialysis while
:07:40. > :07:45.his mum was confirmed as suitable to donate. Anybody would do it. If I
:07:46. > :07:54.can give birth to him once I will give him life again. I know at the
:07:55. > :08:03.end of this operation I have got to get the smile on his face again.
:08:04. > :08:11.Whatever he does he does it 100%. Katrina has had to go `` undergo
:08:12. > :08:16.months of tests to make sure she was well enough to give away one of her
:08:17. > :08:23.kidneys. It was donated using a keyhole technique. People donating
:08:24. > :08:32.have much smaller cuts, they have a shorter hospital stays and get back
:08:33. > :08:38.to work within six weeks. He has never once asked why him. His work
:08:39. > :08:47.is his passion and he dreams of one more challenge. FI see I am going to
:08:48. > :08:51.do something I will do it. I will step on that stage again and do my
:08:52. > :08:59.show and spend the rest of my life with the kids because life is too
:09:00. > :09:06.short. Do you have any news on the transplants? We know Katrina's
:09:07. > :09:11.operation went well, he should be back on the ward after his
:09:12. > :09:15.transpired at eight o'clock tonight. I think it just goes to show how far
:09:16. > :09:24.this medical of modern science has come. 20 years ago there were just
:09:25. > :09:30.four transplants in Leicestershire involving organs from living donors,
:09:31. > :09:36.that is kidneys. Death last year and there were 43. That is because the
:09:37. > :09:41.anti`rejection drugs are so much better. This means no for example
:09:42. > :09:45.friends can donate and even strangers sometimes. Most people
:09:46. > :09:51.waiting for a transplant are those who need an organ from a dead person
:09:52. > :09:57.and there are 7,000 people across the UK as we speak still waiting,
:09:58. > :09:59.mostly on kidneys. If that is what you want to do, do need, you should
:10:00. > :10:07.really carry a donor card. Inquests into two air crashes just
:10:08. > :10:09.weeks apart in Leicestershire which killed four people, have concluded
:10:10. > :10:11.the deaths were accidental. Pensioners Robert Moulton
:10:12. > :10:14.and his wife Lillian died when their light aircraft crashed in a
:10:15. > :10:17.field near Fenny Drayton last July. The inquest heard he probably
:10:18. > :10:19.mistook a mown grass strip for a runway.
:10:20. > :10:22.Meanwhile, a month later, David Newton lost control
:10:23. > :10:30.of his aircraft and crashed in a field at Wymeswold, killing himself
:10:31. > :10:33.and his student daughter Rebecca. An endangered bird of prey has begun
:10:34. > :10:37.breeding again in the Peak District. Five rare hen harrier chicks have
:10:38. > :10:40.fledged in the upper Derwent Valley. It's the first time
:10:41. > :10:44.the birds have bred successfully in the Peak District for eight years.
:10:45. > :10:50.The birds have now been tagged so that more can be learned
:10:51. > :10:52.about their behaviour. Members
:10:53. > :10:55.of a group set up to keep their area tidy say they've been told they can
:10:56. > :10:59.no longer use council`provided equipment to pick up litter.
:11:00. > :11:02.Derby City Council, which has been criticised for the state of
:11:03. > :11:15.the streets in Normanton, say the volunteers there need to be trained.
:11:16. > :11:23.They are a familiar sight on these streets in Derby, volunteer litter
:11:24. > :11:32.pickers with equipment provided from the city council. He gave me the
:11:33. > :11:38.equipment and said he could not see any problem with me collecting
:11:39. > :11:44.rubbish. He said you are not allowed to do it any more without training.
:11:45. > :11:51.Now they have to get there on equipment or clear up the mess by
:11:52. > :11:57.hand. Residents say litter and fly`tipping is still a major problem
:11:58. > :12:03.in the area, despite the efforts of many. It is disgusting, there is
:12:04. > :12:06.garbage, diapers and everything. We were not brought up that we so I
:12:07. > :12:14.don't think we should have to live that way. Derby City Council issued
:12:15. > :12:18.only five fixed penalty notices in the first six months of this year.
:12:19. > :12:26.That is compared to an annual rate of more than 4000 in Nottingham. I
:12:27. > :12:30.am still struggling to take it in. I find it unbelievable we have to go
:12:31. > :12:38.on a training course before we can use a litter picker, it does not add
:12:39. > :12:43.up. The say they want to encourage people to pick up litter and take
:12:44. > :12:46.pride in the area but say that health and safety rules means people
:12:47. > :12:53.need to understand the risks and have adequate training.
:12:54. > :12:57.People living in a Lincolnshire village are fighting plans to
:12:58. > :12:59.bulldoze an historic Victorian signal box. They say it's an
:13:00. > :13:02.important part of their heritage. Network Rail says it needs to go to
:13:03. > :13:06.make way for a modern fully`automated crossing. Now, as
:13:07. > :13:08.Sarah Teale reports, the Government has stepped in to try to find a
:13:09. > :13:24.solution. It has proudly stood on the great
:13:25. > :13:29.Northern line since 1869 with a signal man responsible for operating
:13:30. > :13:36.the barriers. But this historic Victorian signal box is now at
:13:37. > :13:43.risk. Network rail plan to demolish it as part of the 280 million. Read
:13:44. > :13:47.off the line. Furious villagers have other ideas. They are not going to
:13:48. > :13:54.take a wee hours signal box that has been here for 100 and years just
:13:55. > :14:03.because it is in the way of a post. Network Rail see the removal of the
:14:04. > :14:07.boxes essential to creating a new modern crossing here. This is the
:14:08. > :14:11.barrier on one side of the crossing and it needs to be replicated on the
:14:12. > :14:17.other side, exactly cleared the signal boxes. We would like for them
:14:18. > :14:22.to look at the arrangement to allow the signal box to stay, maybe to
:14:23. > :14:31.have the one barrier or look at moving it slightly older so the old
:14:32. > :14:37.signal box can stay. Locals want to turn the building into a heritage
:14:38. > :14:42.centre. It is EP peas of our history. We think it should stay.
:14:43. > :14:51.I'd much rather know the department of transport has got involved. The
:14:52. > :14:59.say the Department of transport must examine all possibilities before it
:15:00. > :15:04.comes down. How long will you stay for? Until it falls over but we will
:15:05. > :15:11.not let that happen, we are born to stop it. A great little building.
:15:12. > :15:16.Fantastic. You're watching East Midlands Today.
:15:17. > :15:17.Coming up: Sport and art at our great
:15:18. > :15:30.Country Houses. We had at the Burghley horse trials
:15:31. > :15:32.and the Chinese art is too has created a little piece of Utopia
:15:33. > :15:41.here at Chatsworth house. The parents of a little girl who
:15:42. > :15:44.owes her life to specialist care at the Glenfield Hospital have
:15:45. > :15:48.pledged to raise ?40,000 to buy a new ECMO machine for the unit.
:15:49. > :15:53.Just after her first birthday, Willow Page suffered three heart
:15:54. > :15:55.attacks and a stroke. In the third part
:15:56. > :15:59.of our exclusive series celebrating the 25th anniversary
:16:00. > :16:02.of the Heartlink ECMO Centre, we hear how the unit saved her life.
:16:03. > :16:19.Victoria Hicks reports. She is so happy and full of life it
:16:20. > :16:25.is hard to believe just over a year ago this child was critical in
:16:26. > :16:30.hospital. She was that personally one day and when she came home she
:16:31. > :16:34.was off her food and her breathing was properly. That night she went
:16:35. > :16:40.into hospital and within 24 hours we saw her have two heart attacks. She
:16:41. > :16:51.was transferred to another hospital and we lost her for 4.5 minutes
:16:52. > :16:57.there. She had inflammation of the heart muscle caused by the flu
:16:58. > :17:02.virus. She had to have ECMO treatment or she would not have
:17:03. > :17:08.lasted the night. We had not heard anything about it. We did not
:17:09. > :17:12.understand. They had to explain it until we did understand it. If it
:17:13. > :17:16.was not for them she would not be here today. It is not just the
:17:17. > :17:21.machine which saved her life but the people who knew how to work it and
:17:22. > :17:28.what to do if it was not working properly. She spent ten days on
:17:29. > :17:35.ECMO, it supported her heart and allowed her to fight the infection.
:17:36. > :17:40.We did not know she would be coming back year like this. The fact she is
:17:41. > :17:49.here and happy and doing fantastic is something I did not think was
:17:50. > :17:55.ever going to happen. When she was on ECMO we were told her treatment
:17:56. > :18:00.was costing ?10,000 per day and we decided then we wanted to give
:18:01. > :18:06.something back. We have eased in 11 months just over ?22,000 which we
:18:07. > :18:12.are very proud of. We have another 18,000 to go and that will be our
:18:13. > :18:16.way of saying thank you. Even that is never enough. Nothing we can do
:18:17. > :18:22.good ever repeat them for giving us our daughter back. Absolutely. We
:18:23. > :18:39.will have more on that tomorrow. We are cleared the top equestrian
:18:40. > :18:46.stars come to compete. Behind me is lie in, just one of the fences on
:18:47. > :18:52.the cross country course. It is a celebration of the English
:18:53. > :18:57.countryside four days a massive shopping destination. We are here
:18:58. > :19:03.for the sport. Let's first bring you the rest of the day's sports news.
:19:04. > :19:13.First player and manager of the month categories, Nottingham Forest
:19:14. > :19:19.are up for them. Stuart Pearce is is up for manager of the month award,
:19:20. > :19:23.much of it is down to his new signing who has scored three goals
:19:24. > :19:33.and is nominated for player of the month. The Derby skipper led his
:19:34. > :19:46.country to victory in the man match last night. The burly horse trials
:19:47. > :19:58.attract a crowd that is unlike any other sport but it is an excellent
:19:59. > :20:03.enormous cloud. `` crowd. One of our competitors is giving up. Andy
:20:04. > :20:08.Turner is hanging up his spikes, one last race to come in the Gateshead
:20:09. > :20:13.city games this weekend. Our reporter went to see him to talk
:20:14. > :20:20.about the end of his career. In 2010 Andy Turner won ball in the European
:20:21. > :20:26.Championships and Commonwealth Games. On Saturday he will put on
:20:27. > :20:32.his spikes for the very last time. At 33 he is ready for retirement. I
:20:33. > :20:37.have done far more than I ever could have imagined. I do not think I
:20:38. > :20:43.could exceed what I have done but I am thankful for what I have achieved
:20:44. > :20:48.and excited now about the future. He is now the European and Commonwealth
:20:49. > :20:52.champion in the high hurdles. When you are watching hurdles on live TV
:20:53. > :21:01.it does not do it justice to how high they are. Three, I am not the
:21:02. > :21:05.tallest guy, just don't work at height. There are also waits on the
:21:06. > :21:11.bottom so when you hit one you certainly know about it. Sadly, that
:21:12. > :21:20.is what happened to Andy at the Commonwealth Games this summer. He
:21:21. > :21:29.was his own harshest critic. Schoolboy, absolute idiot! I wanted
:21:30. > :21:37.it so much I lost my focus. On Saturday he is at the great North
:21:38. > :21:41.games in Gateshead, and eventually won four years ago. It is very
:21:42. > :21:46.enclosed and personal and four it to be my final race, I cannot think of
:21:47. > :21:56.another stage I would like to compete on for my last race. At the
:21:57. > :22:03.Nottingham Forest fan quitting will have some perks. I am always racing
:22:04. > :22:14.on a Saturday so now I will be able to watch the games. He has picked
:22:15. > :22:23.the right season if that is what he wants to do. Back here the event is
:22:24. > :22:29.in full swing. We have the director of the horse trials. Give us an
:22:30. > :22:36.idea, the Torquay wrote about this as an event but we're as it in the
:22:37. > :22:39.sporting calendar? It is the pinnacle of the sport. There are
:22:40. > :22:46.only four events in the world and this is the one they all aspire to
:22:47. > :22:53.compete at. On Thursday we have the pony club team jumping weird teams
:22:54. > :22:57.from 40 local pony clubs compete. Some are now competing in the top
:22:58. > :23:08.three day events. It is very much weird the start, yes. How many are
:23:09. > :23:14.you expecting? 150,000. There is the a lot of international interest this
:23:15. > :23:20.year as well. Thank you for joining us. There is another big event in
:23:21. > :23:27.the East Midlands this weekend, the British superbikes. We will cock
:23:28. > :23:29.about that in some depth tomorrow. Did you see those shopping bags? A
:23:30. > :23:37.great place to shop! Now it may seem a little ironic,
:23:38. > :23:40.but a vision of Utopian equality has just been created in front
:23:41. > :23:43.of one of the grandest houses, not only in the East Midlands,
:23:44. > :23:46.but in the whole of the country! Yes, it's an art installation
:23:47. > :23:49.at Chatsworth by one of China's leading artists, Zu Bing.
:23:50. > :23:51.His is one of 22 major pieces by the world's leading sculptors that
:23:52. > :24:01.are on show in a new exhibition. James Roberson reports.
:24:02. > :24:12.All the way from China, Zu Bing has flown in to see how his work has
:24:13. > :24:19.been treated at Chatsworth. It is the vision of the perfect life that
:24:20. > :24:26.we all dream of. Today we always work hard to try to find utopia in
:24:27. > :24:32.our village. How do you feel about having your front lawn dug up?
:24:33. > :24:37.Luckily it is very shallow so they have just taken the turf off and
:24:38. > :24:48.made this wonderful display. It is very intricate. Normally this is the
:24:49. > :24:55.closest the public can get to the front lawn but they will be able to
:24:56. > :25:01.get close up to see the detail on it. I feel it was born to be here, a
:25:02. > :25:10.perfect setting, surrounded by beauty and nature. This is one of 20
:25:11. > :25:18.sculptors by leading artists around Chatsworth Gardens. The RPC is
:25:19. > :25:22.clearly fascinating and perhaps less so. Some smaller, some larger,
:25:23. > :25:33.depending on where they are in the garden. If you put an ordinary thing
:25:34. > :25:43.it looks ditzy because it is such a large garden, monumental is the key.
:25:44. > :25:51.I do not think I have ever seen a bad photograph of Chatsworth. I like
:25:52. > :26:00.the incongruity of the art worth. That is a big word!
