:00:20. > :00:30.Tonight, parents' pride in the sun's Cancer campaign. Adri`n had a
:00:31. > :00:34.very clear wish which is th`t every 16 to 18`year`old would be taught
:00:35. > :00:42.the facts about blood, bone marrow and organ donation. And the 120
:00:43. > :00:49.properties offered or tell accommodation to get away from noisy
:00:50. > :00:55.night`time tram works. Built just 21 years ago but this civic landmark
:00:56. > :01:01.faces an untimely end. We mtst have shelled out a lot of money to put it
:01:02. > :01:09.up, even in a time of plentx I would be a poll but no, it is rem`rkable.
:01:10. > :01:11.Why it is becoming a burning issue for our councils to keep thd lights
:01:12. > :01:23.on or save money. Good evening, a Nottingham teenager
:01:24. > :01:28.was expected to become the xoungest bone marrow donor in the UK today.
:01:29. > :01:32.Ethan Buttress is a 17`year`old student but today's procedure was
:01:33. > :01:37.really made possible by the work of another local student six ydars ago.
:01:38. > :01:43.Adrian Sudbury died in 2008 but before he lost
:01:44. > :01:48.the fight against leukaemia. He campaigned
:01:49. > :01:50.for teenagers to become blood, marrow and organ donors.
:01:51. > :01:52.His parents have been speakhng of their pride in his legacy as James
:01:53. > :02:08.Roberson reports from Derbyshire. It May be six years since the son
:02:09. > :02:16.died but the pride in him shows no end. During his final months while
:02:17. > :02:25.he battled with leukaemia hd wrote a blog about it. This was filled at
:02:26. > :02:30.that time. It seems a bit rtde if I am not bothered. He had become a
:02:31. > :02:40.journalist in North Yorkshire and took his planned to the then prime
:02:41. > :02:53.Minister in Downing Street. He died in 2000 and ` aged 27. He thought
:02:54. > :03:05.the more important it is thd more I can get people to understand how
:03:06. > :03:09.important it is. After I have spoken to date some of you will sax I want
:03:10. > :03:23.to give blood. His father is one of the nationwide team who givd
:03:24. > :03:33.students a talk on donations. They take saliva tests to see if people
:03:34. > :03:38.are suitable donors. He went to college which was very supportive.
:03:39. > :03:44.He had a very clear wish whhch was that every 16 to 18`year`old would
:03:45. > :03:49.be taught the fact about blood, bone marrow and organ donation. Once they
:03:50. > :03:57.know the facts they can then make informed choices. Six years on,
:03:58. > :04:00.nationwide, we have no gone into schools. We are very proud `bout
:04:01. > :04:08.what Adrian started. Well, the Register and Be A Life
:04:09. > :04:12.Saver campaign began in 2008. And to give you an idea of its scale, in
:04:13. > :04:14.the East Midlands alone, more than 44,000 16 to 18`year`olds h`ve been
:04:15. > :04:21.educated about organ donations. And of that number, more than 3,000 have
:04:22. > :04:23.gone onto the donor register. It's been revealed that people
:04:24. > :04:28.living alongside Nottingham's tram extension were offered six weeks'
:04:29. > :04:31.accommodation in a hotel because night`time working was so noisy
:04:32. > :04:37.Residents of 120 properties were contacted and 26 accepted.
:04:38. > :04:42.The local MP says it highlights the need for better compens`tion
:04:43. > :04:43.packages for residents. Mike O'Sullivan is in Beeston now,
:04:44. > :05:03.so Mike, where were these roadworks? In the area close to University
:05:04. > :05:09.Boulevard, cold Alcatraz by some local residents as the tram
:05:10. > :05:16.extension takes shape. It w`s the roadworks at night that led to the
:05:17. > :05:20.author of Hotel accommodation for up to 120 properties. There was noise
:05:21. > :05:26.monitoring equipment in front gardens and it was insisted the
:05:27. > :05:34.offer be made by contractors. 2 households took up the first. How
:05:35. > :05:39.bad was the noise at night? We were here for the first night and it was
:05:40. > :05:45.not too bad as they were setting up. After that there was equipmdnt being
:05:46. > :05:54.dragged along the road, doors banging, the work itself and
:05:55. > :06:04.shouting. Pleaded Tuesday? Sam Magri it was the otter to a tale `t the
:06:05. > :06:10.University for three weeks. Some might say they are being good to
:06:11. > :06:16.you? It was a nice hotel but it was very destructive of our evenings and
:06:17. > :06:21.our life in general. We did not know we are to be and at what tile.
:06:22. > :06:27.Looking at the wider roadworks year do you think you should be getting
:06:28. > :06:32.more compensation? I think with the misery they have put us through with
:06:33. > :06:38.all this mess for over two xears now I do not think the can not to be
:06:39. > :06:48.honest. The local MP thinks this highlights the need for mord
:06:49. > :06:54.compensation for these residents. It has been over 18 months that they
:06:55. > :06:58.have been put through a night mere. Yes, I think they should get
:06:59. > :07:12.compensation, will they get it? I do not think they will. Well wd did
:07:13. > :07:17.speak to Anna earlier and she said also learns need to be learned
:07:18. > :07:22.nationally about the need for better compensation. We did try to speak to
:07:23. > :07:28.the contractors, the City Council as well and the tram operators that
:07:29. > :07:33.they have not got anyone av`ilable for interview unfortunately. They
:07:34. > :07:34.have said they will contribtte to a national discussion on future
:07:35. > :07:41.contribution programmes. Later in the programme:
:07:42. > :07:44.Formula E comes of age. The first racing series involving
:07:45. > :07:46.electric cars gets underway this weekend in Beijing.
:07:47. > :07:53.And we've been to Donington to meet a rising star of E`rachng.
:07:54. > :07:56.Next tonight. There are calls tonight for
:07:57. > :07:59.a prominent clock tower in ` city centre to be saved from demolition.
:08:00. > :08:02.The tower in Derby isn't ancient, in fact, it's just 21`years`old
:08:03. > :08:05.and it isn't even listed. Derby's Civic Society agrees
:08:06. > :08:09.that the landmark has little architectural merit.
:08:10. > :08:12.It just thinks knocking it down would be a huge waste of money.
:08:13. > :08:30.Simon Hare reports. It seems time is running out for the
:08:31. > :08:34.clock tower at this spot in Derby. It is due to be demolished `long
:08:35. > :08:40.with these two Art Deco style towers. They were only built two
:08:41. > :08:50.decades ago as part of the pedestrianisation of the city
:08:51. > :08:55.centre. As a great there we must have shelled out an awful lot of
:08:56. > :08:59.money 21 years ago to put it up to great acclaim and now it is all
:09:00. > :09:05.going to come down and the tpward to spend millions three landsc`pe in
:09:06. > :09:12.the whole area when we have drastic cuts on. Even in a time of plenty I
:09:13. > :09:20.would be appalled. It is a nice landmark. I like it but I would not
:09:21. > :09:26.be mad if it had to go. Thex make changes, very often not for the
:09:27. > :09:33.better. It is any good sport and well used. Everything that goes on
:09:34. > :09:39.seems to be a waste of monex. The city council plans to spend close to
:09:40. > :09:44.?1 million in the area. It says it wants to enhance it, improvd access
:09:45. > :09:50.and create somewhere for performances and a small market The
:09:51. > :09:55.public toilets that have bedn here since the 1930s have alreadx closed
:09:56. > :09:58.and it appears the rest of the sport will soon be level as well.
:09:59. > :10:02.Well quite a debate's begun about that on our facebook page
:10:03. > :10:05."Waste of money" is one comlent ` plenty of others on our pagd
:10:06. > :10:14.and there's the address if you want to join in.
:10:15. > :10:16.The sale of a herbal stimul`nt, popular with Leicester's Solali
:10:17. > :10:20.community has gone undergrotnd, according to former users.
:10:21. > :10:24.It's almost three months since the chewable plant known
:10:25. > :10:27.as Khat was made a class C drug by the government.
:10:28. > :10:30.But some on the city's St M`tthews estate say it's still being sold
:10:31. > :10:35.on the black market, at inflated prices.
:10:36. > :10:38.Four wards at the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham
:10:39. > :10:40.are closed to new admissions due to an outbreak of norovirus.
:10:41. > :10:44.The hospital says all the wards are for elderly p`tients.
:10:45. > :10:51.The norovirus causes vomiting and diarrhoea and is more common
:10:52. > :10:54.in winter months. It normally lasts
:10:55. > :10:56.for one or two days. The Derbyshire`based chocol`te

:11:17. > :11:20.from Loughborough are spendhng a month trying to save the lives
:11:21. > :11:23.of abandoned babies. They're travelling to South Africa
:11:24. > :11:28.to build a nursery centre in an area that's been hit hard
:11:29. > :11:31.by an AIDS epidemic. And in this report,
:11:32. > :11:32.which contains some material you may find upsetting,
:11:33. > :11:36.our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, discovers it's
:11:37. > :11:44.a chance for the volunteers to turn their own lives around.
:11:45. > :11:54.The rehab centre 14 recoverhng addicts are learning skills that
:11:55. > :12:00.could soon save lives. They are going to convert a disused church
:12:01. > :12:04.hall into a warm for up to 40 abandoned babies. This man hs a
:12:05. > :12:12.recovering alcoholic and cannot wait to get out to South Africa. Saving
:12:13. > :12:19.lives, what an experience. Ht will save my ` change my life too. Quite
:12:20. > :12:23.much of this man here was addicted to drugs. In my old life I was
:12:24. > :12:28.probably very selfish and it is getting something back. Doing
:12:29. > :12:34.something positive for the project over there will be benefici`l to me
:12:35. > :12:41.and my development in my recovery. This man runs the Carpenters Arms
:12:42. > :12:45.Centre and came up with the project after visiting South Africa and
:12:46. > :12:51.seeing horrific pictures of the bodies of unwanted babies who had
:12:52. > :12:55.been abandoned. There was one that had been thrown out of a moving car
:12:56. > :13:04.on a motorway. In one place the dreams were blocked and thex found
:13:05. > :13:11.14 babies stuck in the pipe. I cried and cried about it. It really got to
:13:12. > :13:17.me. We could not walk away from it. It will take a month to build the
:13:18. > :13:23.new centre, a centre which hs designed to overcome the sthgma of
:13:24. > :13:30.abandoning ABB. You can pull out a court from evil in the wall and put
:13:31. > :13:35.ABB inside it. As soon as it goes in the worker will come to get it as an
:13:36. > :13:40.alarm goes off. It will be incorporated into the nursery
:13:41. > :13:47.programme. They are hoping this trip will be the first of many.
:13:48. > :13:53.Eventually they hope to build evil village, a place for foster families
:13:54. > :13:57.to raise those abandoned babies giving them a life and a future
:13:58. > :14:04.That is quite a challenge. Ht is. It was meant to save money but a
:14:05. > :14:06.policy of replacing failing street lights individually is actu`lly
:14:07. > :14:09.costing more. Now Nottinghalshire county council is considering a
:14:10. > :14:11.U`turn. This re`think comes as several local authorities are
:14:12. > :14:20.looking at different ways of keeping our streets lit UP and costs DOWN.
:14:21. > :14:26.Geeta Pendse has been taking taking a look, and joins us in the studio.
:14:27. > :14:30.Yes, as the light summer nights draw to an end ` making sure
:14:31. > :14:32.our street lamps are working will be more important than ever.
:14:33. > :14:35.Currently highways teams like this one out in Gamston today can only
:14:36. > :14:37.change a light if it's burnt out. That's because Nottinghamshhre
:14:38. > :14:38.county council cut regular maintenance
:14:39. > :14:40.and moved to individual rep`irs But they say it's now costing
:14:41. > :15:01.more and proving inefficient. Previously the lamps where `ll
:15:02. > :15:05.changed at the same time after the recommended for years. Now they are
:15:06. > :15:13.being changed as the goal ott which causes us to come back several times
:15:14. > :15:16.each week for several weeks to one Particular St.
:15:17. > :15:20.When regular maintenance was cut in 2011, the council saved half
:15:21. > :15:22.a million from the budget. The following year they
:15:23. > :15:24.saved over ?142,000. But in the last financial
:15:25. > :15:26.year costs have gone up. Now the council is
:15:27. > :15:29.considering returning to regular maintenance, but to do that it'll
:15:30. > :15:29.cost ?600,000 over two years. Reaction
:15:30. > :15:38.from some residents has been mixed. Rather than keep sending a lan out
:15:39. > :15:42.to change one light it might be an idea to send a team out to change
:15:43. > :15:48.them all then perhaps they would not have the cost of the petrol which is
:15:49. > :15:58.expensive to keep coming out. The original problem, I do not blog
:15:59. > :16:00.weird they are going to savd. `` do not see we are the are going to
:16:01. > :16:06.save. All our councils are looking
:16:07. > :16:07.at ways of balancing the books. Derbyshire Leicestershire are
:16:08. > :16:13.currently looking at energy saving light bulbs.
:16:14. > :16:21.There are some benefits in terms of maintenance, these lights c`n last
:16:22. > :16:25.up to 20 years without being replaced.
:16:26. > :16:28.Of course installing LED lights will cost.
:16:29. > :16:31.But it's also an idea that's being considered in Nottinghamshire.
:16:32. > :16:33.So our councils now have to weigh up the costs over the need to keep
:16:34. > :16:36.our streets lit. 30 years ago today, a researcher
:16:37. > :16:40.at the University of Leicester made a breakthrough that has
:16:41. > :16:44.revolutionised forensic scidnce Sir Alec Jeffreys discovered the
:16:45. > :16:48.technique of genetic fingerprinting in a laboratory at the univdrsity.
:16:49. > :16:53.Today, the now retired profdssor, returned to the building whdre he
:16:54. > :17:02.had his "Eureka moment". Navtej Johal reports.
:17:03. > :17:11.A portrait of the scientist as an ordinary man who did somethhng
:17:12. > :17:16.extraordinary. It was 30 ye`rs ago today at five past nine in the
:17:17. > :17:25.morning to be exact that thd then just plain old Alec Jeffreys made an
:17:26. > :17:30.extraordinary discovery. Thd key thing is that five minutes before we
:17:31. > :17:35.had the first x`ray film thdre was not a single forensic thought in my
:17:36. > :17:43.head. As often happens in science it is the new technology that drives
:17:44. > :17:49.the ideas and applications. He went to meet children in local schools to
:17:50. > :17:59.show how the any and fingerprinting works. It all really helped me, all
:18:00. > :18:04.this is the any and finding staff. DNA fingerprinting has been used in
:18:05. > :18:09.many ways at the first time it was used in a murder case was also here
:18:10. > :18:18.in Leicester. David Baker w`s the lead investigator on the case which
:18:19. > :18:24.led to the investigation of Colin pitchfork who raped and murdered two
:18:25. > :18:29.teenage girls. Using DNA we were able to take it down to an
:18:30. > :18:34.individual. That was a dram`tic breakthrough for forensic science.
:18:35. > :18:43.We saw from the outset that DNA had dramatic potential. The hopd is that
:18:44. > :18:54.this painting will help to hnspire future discoveries.
:18:55. > :18:58.Getting involved in the equdstrian world is an ambition for many
:18:59. > :19:01.young people, most won't make it. But a training course in Derbyshire
:19:02. > :19:04.could be the answer for somd. In the final part of our series
:19:05. > :19:05.on education, Simon Ward reports on the success of a new diploma
:19:06. > :19:20.offered by Derby College. This is the kind of schoolwork that
:19:21. > :19:25.many can only rain about. These pupils from secondary schools in
:19:26. > :19:31.Derbyshire are taking a citx and Guilds diploma in horse gear. It is
:19:32. > :19:36.part of Derby College. It is the difficult industry to break into and
:19:37. > :19:42.they cannot all be Grand National winners. Many people like the idea
:19:43. > :19:47.of being a competition rider but the reality of the situation is that all
:19:48. > :19:52.competition riders from grass roots level through to international
:19:53. > :19:56.competitors and Olympians all get there income from teaching, training
:19:57. > :20:02.and developing the skills of the people around them. Because I like
:20:03. > :20:06.horses before I came here I just thought I would come to get more
:20:07. > :20:12.confidence and when I finished the course I would probably likd to come
:20:13. > :20:17.here to do my level three and become a riding in structure. I wotld like
:20:18. > :20:30.to do jumping or cross country, something big. `` riding instructor.
:20:31. > :20:39.It will be hard but worth it. The first group had a 100% pass rate to
:20:40. > :20:45.the delight of the college. We can have a small group but we would like
:20:46. > :20:51.to grow and develop on that success with the 100% pass rate so we can
:20:52. > :20:55.ensure we will meet the needs of these young people. More schools are
:20:56. > :21:03.wanting to come on board and offer this occasional horse to thd kids.
:21:04. > :21:07.It takes dedication and hard work but hopefully these pupils will be
:21:08. > :21:13.the first of many taking thhs course who ride on to success.
:21:14. > :21:19.Now the sport. First a man who made his nale
:21:20. > :21:22.in Formula One. He's racing this weekend
:21:23. > :21:27.in the Donington`based Formtla E series which gets underway with
:21:28. > :21:30.the opening race in Beijing. In a short space of time,
:21:31. > :21:35.this all`electric competition has attracted attention, excitelent
:21:36. > :21:36.and some top names as drivers. Colin Hazelden's been to medt
:21:37. > :21:51.24`year`old Hami Alguersaurh. He is still a very young man yet it
:21:52. > :21:55.feels like he has been around for ever. The youngest ever driver in
:21:56. > :22:01.Formula one when he made his debut in what seems like the dist`nt
:22:02. > :22:07.past. It seems a long time `go especially when you are not racing
:22:08. > :22:13.every weekend, time goes by very slow. All he wants to do is release.
:22:14. > :22:22.This allusion with the dominance of money in Formula one, formula E is
:22:23. > :22:27.his new thing. I was really sad for the teams and the economic
:22:28. > :22:30.situation. This kind of thing gives you the motivation to continue and
:22:31. > :22:40.to continue opening and trahning every day at home. You seem
:22:41. > :22:44.genuinely excited, are you? I am. Motor sport needed something like
:22:45. > :22:49.this. They have done a tremdndously good job coming along with `ll these
:22:50. > :22:56.ideas. At the moment it is `ll happening. It is great. So, now he
:22:57. > :23:04.has stepped into this electric world, what are they like to dry?
:23:05. > :23:09.Very, very different. Use you and electric sound, very futuristic You
:23:10. > :23:16.get a lot of activity on thd field when you are driving. You h`ve to
:23:17. > :23:21.change the steering wheel 20 times. You are recharging all the dnergy
:23:22. > :23:32.every time you are using thd paddle. It is the lot going on. Instinct
:23:33. > :23:33.will still be required. We `re drivers we like to feel the feeling
:23:34. > :23:40.inside. Onto cricket and Nottinghamshire's
:23:41. > :23:43.chances of winning the County Championship title look to be all
:23:44. > :23:46.but over. They have to beat leaders Yorkshire at Trent Bridge this week
:23:47. > :23:49.to stand any chance. But earlier the visitors declared on a masshve 32
:23:50. > :23:52.for 9. It left Nottinghamshhre's batsman with a huge task ahdad of
:23:53. > :23:54.them but they have crumbled under the pressure. Wickets quickly
:23:55. > :23:57.tumbled with former Notts bowler Ryan Sidebottom amongst those
:23:58. > :24:04.inflicting the damage. Notts closed day two on 58 for 4. Still 474 runs
:24:05. > :24:07.behind. Meanwhile in Division Two
:24:08. > :24:12.Leicestershire are facing an even bigger target. They saw
:24:13. > :24:16.Gloucestershire make 646 in their first innings although
