22/09/2014 East Midlands Today

This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies and me, Dominic Heale.

the first day out of hospit`l for a critically ill baby.

After months of planning, specialist nurses accompanied five`month`old

Wyatt to his parents' wedding. He was smiling, and I didn't think he

would, because I thought he would be quite overwhelmed. To have him there

for the day topped it off for us. It wouldn't have been the same without

him. Also deny, a biking accident

ruptured John Pal macros cldan, so why was he not admitted to hospital?

Plus, breathalysers bull bar goers. Reaction to a new test trial.

But the lasers behind the wheel of the car is appropriate, but I'm not

sure about going to the pub. And the pub. Andy Fox's rampant. He could

win it here for them. He scores Fans hail the humbling of M`nchester

United. No`macro I wasn't expecting that. I can't believe it. I'm

absolutely flabbergasted. . First tonight ` it took months

of planning, two specialist nurses But staff at

Nottingham's Children's Hospital were determined to make it ` dream

wedding for a couple from Grantham. Five months ago Sam

and Brian didn't even think He was born with

a rare congenital disorder He spent every day of his lhfe

in hospital until the big d`y. On Saturday,

they just wanted him there. But it wasn't without risks,

as our health correspondent Back at Nottingham's paediatric

critical care unit this morning two days after he was born, Wyatt's

parents feared they would lose him. This weekend, he was the st`rt of

their wedding. Support from the guys here, the

doctors and nurses do allow him to come out from the day, has been

fantastic. I promised his p`rents he could be with them at the wddding,

and it took two months of planning. To specialist nurses, nerves of

steel and plenty of medical kit It wasn't just the bride worridd about

getting to the church on tile. He was absolutely fabulous. He's an

absolute angel. He has slept pretty much the whole way here. Very

excited, and nervous. I didn't think I would be able to do it without

him. We plan for him to be here Wyatt had to be attached to a

ventilator was another day. One of the biggest moments for me was when

the nurses roll round to thd car park, Google didn't expect ht, so it

took me back quite a bit just to see him there.

I was quite overwhelmed. It's daddy. Just to with him stop me thhnking

about anything else, so it has taken some of the the nerves away.

All that I am, I give to yot. And all that I have a share.

It's a huge deal. It's masshve. As the first time we've ever bden able

to take a child this far from the medical centre, because if `nything

were to happen, we need extra person to run antiwrinkle ambulancd.

He was happy, he was smiling. To have him there for the day tops it

off for us. It wouldn't have been as spdcial

without him. He won't remember the wedding, of course, but it hs a day

they will never forget. He can do it, and he thought that he

could be potentially coming in the next month or so, to know and see he

can do it was special. Eight years after he died,

a couple are hoping that a new inquest will reveal the truth about

the treatment of their 20`ydar`old John Moore`Robinson

from Leicestershire went to Stafford He'd suffered a ruptured spleen

but it wasn't diagnosed. He was discharged

and died the next day. An inquest

into his death was held in 2007 But last August,

that verdict was quashed Michele Paduano reports

from Leicester coroner's cotrt. And script. A second inquest last

year interrupted because new witnesses had been found. John

Moore`Robinson's father is hoping this time, finally, he will get the

whole truth. To lose a child is life changing. But we have got to travel

this road to find the truth. We owe that to John. It needs to bd done,

and it has been done. All btt for the final days. 20`year`old John had

fallen off his mountain bikhng. The force had bungled his handldbars.

Despite paramedics suggesting he had life`threatening injuries, he was

discharged home from Stafford Hospital. His family arrived today

to hear from a junior doctor who examined him. He accented whth

hindsight that John Moore`Robinson's observations were

not normal, and he should h`ve seen him sooner. The coroner Catherine

Mason asked the doctor whether he had carried out the full

investigation at the time. He answered, I think that I did carry

out a full investigation. When asked whether that was reflected hn the

notes, instead, it is lacking from my documentation at the timd. It is

not something that I am protd of. Last year, we interviewed one of the

new witnesses to come forward. His statement said they were desperately

short staffed and pressurisdd to remove patients from AMD. This is

something he had already told the BBC. No`macro we didn't havd great.

We frequently stayed as well because the staffing was so short in the

department. Every nurse I worked with put in clinical incidents to

the management. The family left knowing he shouldn't

have died. A matron said he star should have recognised he w`s in

shock and should have been kept in hospital overnight.

The inquest is due to last `ll week in the Leicester coroner 's court.

Scrapping police and crime commissioners:

that was one of the cost`cutting measures announced

"Fiscal responsibility in the national interest"

was the big message from thd Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls.

But will that message and tomorrow's big conference speech from Labour

leader Ed Miliband do the trick for Labour in the East Midl`nds

Well, our Political Editor John Hess is in Manchester for us.

John, this week's conferencd is going to be pretty important

It certainly is, and for thd Labour Party as well.

Ed Miliband's already pledgdd to raise the minimum wage

And over the next few days, Labour will be unveiling more policies it

hopes will appeal to those tndecided voters of the East Midlands.

These will be on schools, jobs and the NHS. They hope they will appeal

to those undecided voters. No political campaign is colplete

without a baby. This politician has clued up many of them. But Catherine

Atkinson can be forgiven for holding tightly onto this baby. It hs her

own, and three`month`old Jacob is making his first appearance at the

Labour conference. Childcare is going to be crtcial for

me and for so many families. I think the commitment we have alre`dy seen

to increase free childcare hs fantastic.

Leanor Mathers hopes to be the next MP for Sherwood. With her

constituency's delegate, thdy have a number on their mind, 214. That was

the difference between Labotr losing the seat to the Conservativds four

years ago. I can add Millib`nd's leadership get her over that way?

People believe he is prime ministerial material. I think we

have a lot going for us. People absolutely fed up of David Cameron.

Out of touch, saying to be but, things have got better, things have

recovered, and people reallx aren't feeling that.

The next step for Laney mothers and labour's other parliamentarx

hopefuls is to win over the voters of the East midlands who deserted

the party in their droves at the last general election.

Let's put some of those points to Gloria De Piero, the Ashfield MP and

shadow equalities minister. That was a fairly tough message from the

Shadow Chancellor this mornhng. Is he lowering expectations of what a

Labour government can delivdr if elected? No. He was saying today

that, we are going to inherht a tough financial situation, so we

have to get the deficit down, but Britain would be a totally different

place. An ?8 minimum wage, 25 hours free childcare, wraparound

childcare, breakfast school and after`school clubs. Freezing energy

bills. Making work pay. It hs going to make a huge difference to my

constituents in Ashfield and people across these midlands. Be hdard in

my report from two examples of women who want to get into parlialent but

isn't Westminster still a htge turn`off for women wanting to go

into politics? Well, the Labour Party has the masses of work on

this, and we have got great candidates like those two, but they

are key seats for all of us. You need to Windows. We do, but in our

target seats, we have happened our candidates that are women. The other

candidates need to step up. I told you what a boy from the college said

to me. When I asked what a politician by, he said an old bald

man. You have been around the country. Why are people choose the

politics? I think for so many reasons, but are fed up, and it is

up to us to show that we can make their lives better, but we `lso want

them to help perspective. It is broken, we need more normal people

in it. Thank you very much. And Ed Miliband's big speeches tomorrow

afternoon. Thousands witness an historhc

flight over the Derwent Dam. An unforgettable view, from the

ground and from inside the `ircraft. A tribute to the Dambusters

by two Lancaster bombers. Calls are being made

for a fresh investigation into the financial accounts of the

Al`Madinah free school in Ddrby The latest published records show

that one former employee of the school received

an unauthorised overtime paxment. An investigation by BBC Inshde Out

East Midlands discovered it was for more than ?12,000,

and still hasn't been repaid. I think it is a damning indhctment

of a system we have criticised before. There is no financi`l

accountability. There appears to be no oversight, and there are payments

that need to be looked into by appropriate authorities with large

amounts of public money that have been spent with no justific`tion, or

for reasons we are unsure of. So it is an appalling use of publhc money.

Next tonight ` there's been a mixed reaction to a new trial

in Loughborough aimed at tackling booze`related anti`social bdhaviour.

Since Friday, people have bden asked to take breath tests

If it's considered a success, it could be rolled out

Police say allowing securitx staff to breathalyse customers

at the door could help reduce alcohol`related crime, but not

everyone agrees it's a good idea. Tom Brown reports.

It's a busy Friday night in Loughborough. In the pubs and clubs,

the drinks are blowing, but not everyone will make it this far.

Outside, the bouncers can now breathalyse people to make sure

they're not too drunk to cole in. It's a bit of a silly idea. It is a

free country. You should be able to drink what you like. They whll cause

animosity. Also, I think it may actually push people away from going

into a place to start with. It protects people going into ` bar,

and people outside the bar. I think it is a good idea. All I'm saying

is, it is a guide, some information for the them to consider. It has

been introduced by Leicestershire Police. There have obviouslx been

mixed reactions, and I understand that. I hope as people come to

understand what we are doing and why and they can perhaps start to see

the benefits. What are thosd benefits? Hopefully, in the long

run, the number of incidents will be reduced, making every where safer

for Babel in general, causing less workload for emergency servhces and

hopefully makes the whole town centre more enjoyable for everyone.

Dohmen will be using these tests are five bars across Loughborough for

the next six weeks, and if this trial period is a success, ht could

be rolled out not only across the whole town, but also across the

entire county. The bars will each set their own

drinking limits. How drug is too drunk? It has been specified that

they will be double the drink`driving limit, so anything 70

plus on the reader. They will get turned away? Yes. I had a gty at 23,

another guy at 18, and someone at 44. We had not had any trouble yet.

We're not penalising people for going out and having a drink.

We want Iran to enjoy themsdlves. But it is just more safety.

The idea first came from Norwich, where they saw a reduction hn

violent crime and drunken dhsorderly behaviour. If that happens here

various different private ddvelopers have tried to bring forward a

and a question for you, Colhn: what do Manchester United

and Richard III have in comlon? The answer is that they werd

both buried in Leicester! Social media lit up with thd jokes

and joy after Leicester's f`mous 5`3 As a taste, Leicester's favourite

son, Gary Lineker, first tweeted something

unrepeatable but then added "I think "that's the greatest Leicester City

performance of all time". Liverpool striker Mario Ballotelli

enjoyed it too, That's "laugh out loud",

for the old folks. And I really liked this one

from a guy called Ammar Orion. Let's face it, whatever the state

of Manchester United defencd, Leicester had to take advantage

And, boy did they do that. And on Sunday, a sell`out crowd and

a visit from a star`studded Manchester United squad. Wh`t's not

to love about life in the Premier League? Leicester City may be the

new boys, but they were out to prove a point. Manchester United's stellar

signings had no idea what w`s coming. They were about to be

humbled by a home side hungry for success. The visitors took the lead

through Robin van Persie. A header at the back post. They doubled their

advantage with a sublime chhp. Angel di Maria, United's ?60 millhon

signing. The foxes have found a star signing of their own. Leicester City

score within seconds of going to down! United came back with a cheeky

backheel. 3`1 down, it lookdd done and dusted, but Leicester h`d other

ideas. Type a comeback, courtesy of a contentious penalty, calmly put

away. Right footed from Davhd Nugent! What happened next stunned

the bubble establishment and sent foxes fans into a frenzy. Hd might

angle a shot. He does! And they weren't done yet. Jamie

Vardy's had a dream journey to the Premier League, and few goals will

mean more than this. Finishhng for them! Jamie Vardy!

Foxes' fairy tale complete, as Tyler Blackett was shown red, and this

penalty meant the game was beyond doubt. What a match, what a result.

It was absolutely fabulous. The best thing that has ever happened to us.

I can't believe it. Absolutdly flabbergasted. We know how good we

are, we know we will always have a chance against anyone, and luckily

today, we won it. Very well, because you don't play well, you can't win

with Manchester United. It is a step. We need more points.

From going 3`1 down to win ht, it is testament not only to the qtality of

players we have, but the belief in the spirit, amongst us. The belief

and spirit to keep trying to do the right things, and all in all, I

think we got things right is today. It has been 29 years since Leicester

last beat Manchester United, but good things come to those who wait.

Elsewhere, Derby County Captain Richard Keogh has signed a new

It follows a decent weekend for all of our league teams with no defeats.

Kirsty Edwards starts our round`up in the Championship.

Nottingham Forest's game at Millwall won't go down as a classic. A great

save kept the red in it, but at the other end, it was not bred ` sombre

longer's day. It was the first time Forest had not scored all sdason.

They are still unbeaten, and at the top of the championship.

We enjoy the pressure, and H think the players enjoyed the pressure of

being beat up a belief. We `re there on merit, and we are there having in

my opinion, not played as wdll as we possibly can. We need to kedp

improving, the players have a you want to keep breathing, and we know

full well that this is a long, unforgiving season.

Derby County dominated the first half against managerless Cardiff,

but somehow found themselves 2` down the second. Down, but not out.

Jordan high came off the bench to score his first goal for thd club

and show off some moves as well And then, not even the post. Thhs

long`range strike from Craig Bryson. Unfortunately, the only staff that

matters is, we conceded two, managed to get to, and showed good

character, but we need to thghten up, on the defending side of it and

if we do that, I think we whll be a good side. If there is one thing

Notts County can do this se`son it is defend.

They have the best record in League 1, but while they have only conceded

six, they have only scored seven, so no surprises there is one against

Oldham ended in a goalless draw A familiar face was a Mansfield town,

as Keith Curle retained as the new Carlisle manager. Not a happy

return. The Stax got in front, and then to goals from their striker

looked to put the game out of sight by half`time. Mansfield had survived

a scare as Carlisle fought back with two goals. The stacks were certainly

relieved to hear the final whistle. In rugby, it was a disastrots

day for the Leicester Tigers. They suffered a record defe`t

against Bath losing 45 point to 0. Bath dominated throughout,

rattling up five tries. Leicester failed to register

a point for the first time Their injury`ravaged side fdll to

their heaviest ever defeat And in Ice Hockey's Challenge Cup,

Nottingham Panthers fell to a 4`3 defeat in Coventry last night,

but their fans would much r`ther focus on the 2`1 win over old

the finishing touch. And well done to the Virtual

championship after terrible injuries. Thank you very much

indeed. Thousands

of people came to Derbyshird this weekend to see a recreation

of the famous Dambusters flhght The last two airworthy Lanc`ster

aircraft in the world flew over The historic flight took pl`ce

as one of the Lancasters prdpares to return to Canada.

Simon Ward reports. People travelled from far and wide

to get their vantage point. They came to experience what hasn't been

seen since the 1950s. Lancasters flying over the dough

went down in Derbyshire. First, the spectators here those familhar

engines, and then, they are right. The only flying Lancaster is in the

world. This is their last ptblic appearance together on this tour of

the country. One is from thd Battle of Britain Memorial flight, and the

visitor is from the Canadian Heritage Museum. That is

significant, because 30 Can`dians took part in the dambusters raid in

World War II. On board, we see the moment they crossed the damn. I m

really happy. I'm happy that I can see them, through my eyes, not

through any pictures or viddos, but through my own eyes.

The kids need to know where their history is, about the world war

Surprised how big they were. And that they were big and loud.

It just will be with joy. Actually seeing them live. I've never seen

them before. It was Barnes Wallis from Ddrbyshire

who invented the bouncing bomb that was used against the German dams. It

was one of the most famous RAF raids of the war, and the Dohmen 's

damning Derbyshire with the place they trained at the head of the

operation. The Canadian Lancaster is returning to Canada from RAF

Coningsby in Lincolnshire tomorrow. It could be the last time these two

iconic aircraft fly together. And to see footage

of every flight of the Lanc`ster this summer, there is a special

gallery on the bbc news website ` And we also have in`flight

footage on our Facebook pagd. Some news Justin: Hundreds of

students had been evacuated from buildings in Derby this evening

following a chemical spillage. Firefighters are dealing with an

incident on non`street. Roads around the area remain closed. The Fire

Service command on the scend told is that the chemical alert is centred

on a nearby factory. Take c`re if you are in that direction. Lore on

the late news. Time now for the weather forecast.

but warming up nicely into the afternoon. We will hold onto the

clearer skies now through the evening and overnight. Therd is a

bit of cloud around, which will join us through tomorrow, so certainly

the early part of this evenhng, a fine finish. The wind remains quite

light. It all changes to thd overnight period when it coles to

mist and fog again. We will see that increasing, and also, quite a

difference in the overnight temperatures. In the cities and

towns, you will see a minimtm of around 12 to 13, and in rur`l areas,

temperatures will start to drop anything between two and five

Celsius overnight, so patchx grass frost also likely. Mist and fog will

clear through the early part of tomorrow, and it will be another

fine, dry day. Quite a bit of sunshine into the afternoon, with

the exception of the North of Nottinghamshire and into dovish as

well. That is where we start is in the first signs of a weather front.

A couple tried to work their way down, and they will start to produce

a small amount of rain. Daytime temperatures tomorrow a maxhmum of

18 Celsius. That weather fronts or the will sing southwards through the

night time period, still producing shower through Wednesday, gradually

becoming drier, because high pressure will start to rebuhld again

from the south. The gradients and isobars also studied tighten a

little bit, coming up against low pressure further north, so that will

give us quite a breezy Albert as we get closer to the coming wedkend.

Most of the next half of thd week will remain dry, and over the

weekend, we will also probably look at even warmer temperatures. Nearly

the end of September. It wotld believe it? Very good news hndeed.

Summer has been extended. Now I'm the late news. From us here,

goodbye.
