:00:12. > :00:21.The nurse was at an awards ceremony when the former player suffered a

:00:22. > :00:25.cardiac arrest. After the fourth shot comic he came around and was

:00:26. > :00:29.breathing for himself again on the first thing he said to me was, wow,

:00:30. > :00:38.what just happened? So straightaway, he was alert. Also tonight, caught

:00:39. > :00:45.on CCTV. The RSPCA say what happened next was sickening. Plus the latest

:00:46. > :00:50.chapter in the amazing story of the development of MRI in Nottingham.

:00:59. > :01:04.Panthers. Good evening and welcome to Friday's

:01:05. > :01:07.programme with Anne Davies For years now, former

:01:08. > :01:14.footballer Alan Birchenall has campaigned for defibrillators to be

:01:15. > :01:16.installed at sports grounds. Last night his life

:01:17. > :01:20.was saved by one. The football legend

:01:21. > :01:23.and Leicester City ambassador collapsed at an awards event held

:01:24. > :01:26.at the home of Leicester Tigers, but he was saved by the emergency

:01:27. > :01:43.first aid he received. He is affectionately known as the

:01:44. > :01:47.Birch. Since the early 1970s, Alan Birchenall has been part of

:01:48. > :01:51.Leicester City. As well as being a player coming he is also known to

:01:52. > :01:53.raising millions for charity. While handing out awards at the Leicester

:01:54. > :02:00.Mercury sports event last night, Alan collapsed because of a cardiac

:02:01. > :02:04.arrest. His life was saved by nurse Lisa Fereday. She was there because

:02:05. > :02:09.her daughter was nominated for an award. Read I started chest

:02:10. > :02:13.compression is, asked for the automated defibrillator to be

:02:14. > :02:18.brought to me as soon as possible. Somebody got that. That was brought

:02:19. > :02:22.quickly to me and all the time, it is obviously important to continue

:02:23. > :02:27.effective chest compression is, which I did. When the automated

:02:28. > :02:33.defibrillator came, we attached it and was able to deliver a shock for

:02:34. > :02:40.his day with me, which was obviously pivotal in saving his life. How

:02:41. > :02:45.Bhagwati 's condition? He did speak to me afterward. After the fourth

:02:46. > :02:49.shot coming he came round and was breathing for himself again. The

:02:50. > :02:53.first thing he said to me was wow, what just happened then? This doctor

:02:54. > :02:58.has worked with Alan Birchenall public events to promote the use of

:02:59. > :03:04.defibrillators. The very equipment which kept him alive. There were two

:03:05. > :03:09.things that saved his life last night. One was the immediate

:03:10. > :03:13.commencement of resuscitation, compression of the heart and the

:03:14. > :03:20.second thing was the defibrillator that was quickly available and the

:03:21. > :03:25.shocks from it saved Alan's life. Is it fair to say he has been

:03:26. > :03:28.overwhelmed by messages from the public? He has had many messages.

:03:29. > :03:32.I've warned him not to spend too much time trying to respond to them.

:03:33. > :03:34.He is overwhelmed and overjoyed at the support he has had.

:03:35. > :03:36.Simon is outside the King Power stadium now.

:03:37. > :03:44.I understand you managed to speak to Alan earlier this evening?

:03:45. > :03:50.Yes, late this afternoon I was able to speak to Alan Birchenall at the

:03:51. > :03:54.Glen field hospital. Understandably, he is very tired, be very happy and

:03:55. > :03:58.recovering well and pleased with all those hundreds and hundreds of

:03:59. > :04:02.messages of support that are coming through from members of the public.

:04:03. > :04:07.It gave me a great big smile on the thumbs up. It is remarkable by his

:04:08. > :04:11.life was saved by the device as he has been promoting to the public.

:04:12. > :04:16.We've had a stem from Leicester City, they've also thanked everyone

:04:17. > :04:20.who is helping Alan Birchenall for the messages of support and have

:04:21. > :04:24.sent all the love from everybody here at Leicester city football

:04:25. > :04:28.club. Alan posted a Facebook message this afternoon, it said he hopes to

:04:29. > :04:34.have an operation tomorrow and be out of Spittal in the next few days.

:04:35. > :04:39.He said to all his well-wishers that one of his favourite songs was

:04:40. > :04:40.Staying Alive. Thank you. Best wishes to Alan.

:04:41. > :04:41."Violent, sustained, brutal and degrading."

:04:42. > :04:44.That's how a judge has described attempted rapes and serious sexual

:04:45. > :04:47.assaults on two women in Nottingham last autumn.

:04:48. > :04:50.But the judge also said what makes the attacks more shocking

:04:51. > :04:52.is that they were carried out by a 16-year-old boy.

:04:53. > :05:12.It was last October, just after 8am, when a woman in her 20s was walking

:05:13. > :05:15.along this alleyway. Suddenly, she was grabbed from behind by a man and

:05:16. > :05:19.subjected to a terrifying and serious sexual assault. The attacker

:05:20. > :05:25.ran off, but then 15 minutes later, struck again. This time, a woman in

:05:26. > :05:31.her 60s who was walking her dog ear. She was attacked and subjected to

:05:32. > :05:35.two serious sexual assaults and two attempted rates. From DNA at the

:05:36. > :05:40.scene, the police sooner arrest the attacker. He was 16 and had been

:05:41. > :05:43.drinking and taking drugs or lie before the attacks. Today,

:05:44. > :05:47.Nottingham Crown Court heard both victims had been strong, independent

:05:48. > :05:50.women before that October morning. But the younger men now says she

:05:51. > :05:51.needs somebody to go with her wherever she goes and lives in

:05:52. > :06:05.terror another attack. The older victim also said she now

:06:06. > :06:07.can't go far from her house, because of the memory of the attack, which

:06:08. > :06:20.now controls. They've both been affected terribly

:06:21. > :06:28.and this attack was in broad daylight. So they both made the

:06:29. > :06:34.comment that it is not even as if it was at night. So it has caused

:06:35. > :06:37.significant trauma since that time. Judge Gregory Dickinson told the

:06:38. > :06:42.youth, this is to all intents and purposes the same as rate. It was

:06:43. > :06:45.violent, sustain, brutal and degrading. These offences are

:06:46. > :06:49.shocking enough, but what makes it all the more extraordinary for the

:06:50. > :06:53.courts and the public is that you are just 16 years old. You have

:06:54. > :06:57.admitted terrible crimes with very serious consequences for the

:06:58. > :07:01.victims. The judge sentenced the US to nine years in prison, with, if

:07:02. > :07:05.and when he is released, five years afterwards of extended licence.

:07:06. > :07:10.A car fitted with CCTV cameras has captured over 600 drivers

:07:11. > :07:14.parking illegally over the last ten months.

:07:15. > :07:16.It's part of a crackdown on what's considered to be dangerous

:07:17. > :07:19.and inconsiderate parking outside schools and bus stops

:07:20. > :07:23.The county council invested in the vehicle last year,

:07:24. > :07:40.It says the idea isn't about making money, but changing behaviour.

:07:41. > :07:42.More than eight million pounds of Government

:07:43. > :07:44.funding is being awarded to the East Midlands

:07:45. > :07:47.The money can be used to fix around 150,000 potholes

:07:48. > :07:49.or stop them forming in the first place.

:07:50. > :07:51.The Department for Transport's already agreed almost

:07:52. > :07:53.92 million pounds, to repair the region's highways.

:07:54. > :07:56.Still to come: Are the Panthers about to make ice hockey history?

:07:57. > :08:04.Colin Hazelden's in Italy this evening.

:08:05. > :08:11.Well, here in this hall and atmospheric arena, the Pampers

:08:12. > :08:17.campaign got off to the best of starts this afternoon. Find out how

:08:18. > :08:18.later on in the sport. -- the Panthers.

:08:19. > :08:21.The RSPCA is investigating what it describes as an horrific

:08:22. > :08:25.They say it's important to catch the culprit.

:08:26. > :08:29.The incident was caught on security cameras by Millie's owner,

:08:30. > :08:32.Patrick McGeary, who's been talking to our reporter Geeta Pendse.

:08:33. > :08:35.And a warning for you - we will be showing the video

:08:36. > :08:47.So if you want to, please look away now for the next 30 seconds.

:08:48. > :08:48.Enjoying attention from her owner Patrick.

:08:49. > :08:51.But 24 hours ago, Millie was attacked outside

:08:52. > :08:59.Patrick's private CCTV camera captured the shocking moment when a

:09:00. > :09:04.My cat was just sat there, being friendly and

:09:05. > :09:13.I felt sick, I felt angry to think that

:09:14. > :09:16.somebody thinks they have the right to do that to a defenceless animal.

:09:17. > :09:20.Millie's suffered swelling to her jaw and is now being treated for a

:09:21. > :09:23.Determined to find out who carried out the attack,

:09:24. > :09:25.Patrick posted the footage onto Facebook and

:09:26. > :09:34.I've had messages from all over the world wanting to know how

:09:35. > :09:37.Millie is and it is nice to know there are some of the good people

:09:38. > :09:41.The RSPCA are now investigating and appealing for

:09:42. > :09:45.They say inflicting such an horrific attack on a

:09:46. > :09:47.defenceless cat is sickening and it is

:09:48. > :09:48.important we track down the

:09:49. > :09:53.I think they are the lowest of the low.

:09:54. > :09:56.If they've got a problem with somebody, they

:09:57. > :10:03.should go to them, not pick on adefenceless little animal.

:10:04. > :10:05.Patrick says he will not let Millie out of

:10:06. > :10:15.the house, fearful it may happen again.

:10:16. > :10:17.Six men have appeared in court accused of running an insurance scam

:10:18. > :10:19.where they caused dozens of car accidents across Derbyshire.

:10:20. > :10:22.The court heard that they targeted mainly older or lone female

:10:25. > :10:43.This man, the director of the company described today in court as

:10:44. > :10:49.fraudulent and at the heart of a crash for cash scam. His brother was

:10:50. > :10:56.the secretary of that company. The pair were part of claims management

:10:57. > :10:59.firm, dobby enterprise solutions, where 17 number 41 collisions that

:11:00. > :11:03.are part of this trial were dealt with on behalf of the claimants. The

:11:17. > :11:19.road traffic collisions across Derbyshire in order to make a false

:11:31. > :11:34.Derby. The prosecutor said the group targeted older drivers and lone

:11:35. > :11:38.women. They are also accused of using stolen identities and false

:11:39. > :11:43.medical reports as part of those claims. The court heard that this

:11:44. > :11:46.man from Bradford produced assessment reports on the vehicles

:11:47. > :11:50.involved in the collisions before the claims were sent to insurance

:11:51. > :11:54.companies. But the prosecutor says these reports were fraudulent and

:12:24. > :12:25.could learn sign language have earned a last minute reprieve

:12:26. > :12:27.from the Home Office, which means they won't be

:12:48. > :12:52.The piece was created by Derby artist Paul Cummins,

:12:53. > :12:56.and featured as part of his display outside the Tower of London in 2014.

:12:57. > :12:58.The installation, called Weeping Window, will see the poppies

:13:09. > :13:12.A nine million pound investment in MRI scanning was celebrated today

:13:13. > :13:19.It was there back in the 1970s that MRI was developed

:13:20. > :13:23.Well, things have moved on since then.

:13:24. > :13:26.The latest state of the art imaging paves the way for more research

:13:27. > :13:29.into a whole range of health problems, as our health

:13:30. > :13:38.The late 1970s at Nottingham University, and the British inventor

:13:39. > :13:40.Sir Peter Mansfield working on the world's

:13:41. > :13:46.Today, almost 40 years on, the Nobel Prize winner was back

:13:47. > :13:48.there to hear about the University's latest

:13:49. > :13:55.investment in magnetic resonance imaging.

:13:56. > :13:58.It is nice to hear that there is still some interest, not

:13:59. > :14:02.just locally, but that there is interest in MRI

:14:03. > :14:09.One of the University's new MRI scanners.

:14:10. > :14:11.It provides sharper images, including

:14:12. > :14:14.of the brain and is being used to research hearing loss.

:14:15. > :14:16.We are now able to get much better quality

:14:17. > :14:19.pictures of this part of the brain, which has been

:14:20. > :14:24.It is the brain stem and I'm interested in how sounds get

:14:25. > :14:27.There's also a new vertical scan at the

:14:28. > :14:30.It will be used to investigate a range of conditions.

:14:31. > :14:34.We want to extend what is possible with MRI to make the new systems

:14:35. > :14:36.that give us a different kinds of information,

:14:37. > :14:45.systems we currently have and apply them in the best possible way.

:14:46. > :14:52.Pam, and her husband, Mike, who was a paramedic,

:14:53. > :14:54.have raised over ?20,000 for this new development.

:14:55. > :15:01.Their son Sam from Newark died following a

:15:02. > :15:10.We had a very difficult time at MRIs and we want

:15:11. > :15:14.to help young people and children get over the anxieties that he had.

:15:15. > :15:16.I'd like to thank everybody who donated and supported us to make

:15:17. > :15:20.this possible and make it for all children who need it in our area.

:15:21. > :15:23.All part of the latest chapter in the story of Nottingham's

:15:24. > :15:29.Rob, some interesting developments there which will help patients.

:15:30. > :15:33.And this of course will go down as a hugely pressured week for the NHS.

:15:34. > :15:46.After a war of words, is there any sign of things easing off?

:15:47. > :15:56.Yes, and I can tell you our main A things have eased off a little here

:15:57. > :15:58.in Nottingham. They say they are seeing fewer patients, but the

:15:59. > :16:03.pressure is still high. In Leicester, where we have that system

:16:04. > :16:06.critical incident, which is the highest state of alert, earlier this

:16:07. > :16:12.week, extra staff had to be drafted in and things have eased off there

:16:13. > :16:18.as well. And the political fallout continues? It does indeed. A war of

:16:19. > :16:23.words over the NHS, as you said, Theresa May criticising opposition

:16:24. > :16:28.and the British Red Cross have also come in for flak for describing the

:16:29. > :16:32.situation as a humanitarian crisis. Many in the NHS have been working go

:16:33. > :16:36.overboard on the front line this week and I think they will be glad

:16:37. > :16:41.to see the back of this week. But we know that although things have eased

:16:42. > :16:46.off, things can ramp up quickly again and the flu season has not yet

:16:47. > :16:47.peaks. Not good news at all there. Thank you, Rob.

:16:48. > :16:50.Still to come this evening - hair with style.

:16:51. > :16:53.A new exhibition gets underway that celebrates the afro cut and explores

:16:54. > :17:02.the styling of black hair as an art form.

:17:03. > :17:04.Time for sport and things rather overshadowed today, Nat,

:17:05. > :17:09.by the sad news that Alan Birchenall has been seriously unwell.

:17:10. > :17:11.Yes, we brought you an update on Alan's recovery at

:17:12. > :17:16.Tomorrow, fans plan to light up the King Power Stadium for the Birch.

:17:17. > :17:18.On the tenth minute of Leicester's game with Chelsea, supporters

:17:19. > :17:21.will switch on their mobile phone lights to show the man they call

:17:22. > :17:28.Today there's been an out pouring of emotion on social media,

:17:29. > :17:34.as sporting stars, celebrities and former players wish Alan well.

:17:35. > :17:40.Birchy is a great friend of this programme and is hugely

:17:41. > :17:51.popular with fans, pundits and the footballing world.

:17:52. > :17:53.We hope everyone is sending Birchy our get well wishes, too.

:17:54. > :17:57.Now is almost time for kick off in a massive game for Derby County.

:17:58. > :17:59.They're at Elland Road tonight facing promotion rivals Leeds

:18:00. > :18:04.Earlier, midfielder Will Hughes signed a new deal long

:18:05. > :18:08.Making his debut tonight, new signing David Nugent.

:18:09. > :18:11.A man who knows exactly what it takes to win promotion

:18:12. > :18:19.the Premier League, as Angela Rafferty reports.

:18:20. > :18:21.David Nugent scores and it is one-nil to Leicester!

:18:22. > :18:22.He is the dictionary definition of a

:18:23. > :18:32.He wants me to come here and score some goals and get the team

:18:33. > :18:34.He knows I've been promoted twice, and

:18:35. > :18:37.he wants me around the place giving a lot of encouragement and hopefully

:18:38. > :18:42.Reunited with Steve McClaren, who gave him is one

:18:43. > :18:46.Steve gave me my debut against Andorra and in the

:18:47. > :18:49.last 20 minutes, he managed to grab a goal and I will

:18:50. > :18:53.It is the relationship he has to the players.

:18:54. > :18:56.He's out there on the training pitch.

:18:57. > :19:00.A firm favourite with fans, his former club has

:19:01. > :19:03.had flowers delivered to Derby yesterday.

:19:04. > :19:05.Loved by the Foxes faithful, too, their top goal scorer

:19:06. > :19:17.I got on with the players really well.

:19:18. > :19:27.They deserved it, they had an incredible season.

:19:28. > :19:31.Two promotions to the Premier League with two different teams.

:19:32. > :19:36.That's the job, coming here and encourage the lads

:19:37. > :19:41.and make them believe they can get promoted.

:19:42. > :19:43.In the past couple of years, they have almost been there,

:19:44. > :19:47.but I'm hoping now I can come in, score my goals and get the lads

:19:48. > :19:51.playing even better and push them up the table.

:19:52. > :19:53.A presence on the pitch and a menace off it.

:19:54. > :19:58.He's one of our own, he's one of our own!

:19:59. > :20:01.You've got a bit of a reputation as a joker.

:20:02. > :20:08.Not yet, I think he went out to get some jam roly-poly and left

:20:09. > :20:11.the table, but I was thinking about it, but it is early days yet.

:20:12. > :20:17.Onto Forest, and their transfer embargo has been lifted

:20:18. > :20:27.They also say it does not mean the proposed takeover is complete.

:20:28. > :20:31.The manager, meanwhile, just trying to get on with it.

:20:32. > :20:36.I prefer to look toward what I have than what I haven't.

:20:37. > :20:38.I'm sure it is the first time in my career that

:20:39. > :20:53.When times are difficult, you need to be stronger.

:20:54. > :20:56.Notts County begin a new era tomorrow under new owner Alan Hardy

:20:57. > :21:02.And what a start for him as Notts play local rivals Mansfield

:21:03. > :21:04.in the Nottinghamshire derby in front of a big

:21:05. > :21:11.In rugby, the Leicester Tigers play tomorrow in a European Champions Cup

:21:12. > :21:18.Now, last but not least from me, it's a huge weekend

:21:19. > :21:21.for Nottingham Panthers and the whole of British Ice Hockey.

:22:21. > :22:24.second period, but they gave up. On that power play, the captain again

:24:25. > :24:26.and put it in a ponytail, but it is a bit

:24:27. > :24:29.lazy, though practical. I usually have got this

:24:30. > :24:35.on and I plait it, most of the time. We are not like many

:25:09. > :25:22.crazy with my hairstyles. I used to have it in silver foil,

:25:23. > :25:28.in my younger days. I do like to have my hair out

:25:29. > :25:32.in an Afro, pull it back If it gets wets, it is very

:25:33. > :25:37.curly, and if I run it through with the straighteners,

:25:40. > :25:55.until March the 19th. I love braided hair. Absolutely

:25:56. > :25:57.stunning. Now it is time for the weather. It was snowing this

:25:58. > :26:06.morning? A lot of it was across the

:26:07. > :26:11.Leicestershire area. This picture was captured by Gary this morning,

:26:12. > :26:12.falling over the city of Leicester. Loughborough got a light dusting

:26:13. > :26:29.this morning as well. Ice is the big problem we are

:26:30. > :26:34.looking up. Especially if there is still snow on the ground. There are

:26:35. > :26:38.still a a few wintry showers around. Not at the moment, clearer skies

:26:39. > :26:44.mean a widespread frost and a very cold night. Temperatures as low as

:26:45. > :26:48.-3 -4-macro in rural areas. Showers coming across the western side,

:26:53. > :26:57.Widespread frost for the rest of us, so cold start tomorrow. Saturday,

:26:58. > :27:05.few are showers, brighter skies and the wind will ease off as well. So

:27:06. > :27:10.it is a moderate, North breeze and it will be chilly, temperatures no

:27:11. > :27:17.higher than four. By Saturday night and into Sunday, this area brings in

:27:18. > :27:22.rain by Sunday. Sunday is quite cloudy and grey, quite damp. The

:27:23. > :27:26.temperatures double compared to what we have been used to. Mild on Sunday

:27:27. > :27:29.and through the early part of next week. But it will go a lot colder by

:27:30. > :27:43.the time we get to Wednesday. Get well, Bircher, and stop flirting

:27:44. > :27:45.with the nurses! Goodbye.
