:00:00. > :00:00.You're watching East Midlands Today. so it's goodbye from me,
:00:00. > :00:00.Tonight - a man gets 15 years for the sexual
:00:00. > :00:21.Matthew Salmon was found guilty of nine child sex offences. It's been
:00:22. > :00:27.the most horrific catalogue of sexual abuse I've ever investigated
:00:28. > :00:31.on a child. Fears for hundreds of jobs at a Derbyshire distribution
:00:32. > :00:37.company. Everybody is worried about it because there's not many jobs
:00:38. > :00:43.going nowadays. We just don't know. A big rise in type two diabetes, one
:00:44. > :00:47.in 14 now has the condition. And we catch up with the Nottingham
:00:48. > :00:56.Panthers, fresh from their victory in Europe.
:00:57. > :00:58.Good evening and welcome to the programme with Anne Davies
:00:59. > :01:04.First tonight, a man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison
:01:05. > :01:08.for the sexual abuse of a young girl in Derbyshire.
:01:09. > :01:11.Matthew Salmon was found guilty of nine child sex offences,
:01:12. > :01:16.The case only came to light after the NSPCC held a special
:01:17. > :01:22.The lesson encouraged her to come forward and ended
:01:23. > :01:37.This is Geraldine. It was in a classroom like this where a girl
:01:38. > :01:42.finally plucked up the courage to tell her teachers about the sexual
:01:43. > :01:46.abuse she'd been suffering. This week the NSPCC's visiting
:01:47. > :01:51.schoolchildren in Nottingham, but it was three years ago in Derbyshire
:01:52. > :01:54.where concerns were raised about a ten-year-old pupil. The
:01:55. > :01:59.investigation led to the sentencing of this man, 29-year-old Matthew
:02:00. > :02:04.Salmon. Today he was given 15 years in jail and a further year on
:02:05. > :02:13.licence for nine sexual offences against a child. It's been the most
:02:14. > :02:16.horrific catalogue of sexual abuse I've ever had to investigate on a
:02:17. > :02:18.child. Hopefully this will go some way to giving her closure and help
:02:19. > :02:23.the family move on and build for the future. Today the court heard how
:02:24. > :02:28.Matthew Salmon carried out multiple sexual assaults from kissing to the
:02:29. > :02:32.repeated rape of the girl over a two-year period. The abuse started
:02:33. > :02:36.when she was just eight years old. The judge said she had suffered the
:02:37. > :02:42.full spectrum of sexual abuse and that given her age clearly couldn't
:02:43. > :02:46.have understood how serious it was. The NSPCC team which helped to
:02:47. > :02:52.uncover this abuse says cases like this highlight the need to raise
:02:53. > :02:56.awareness. Sometimes people who are abused don't actually realise what's
:02:57. > :03:00.happened to them is wrong because to them it's normal. That's what
:03:01. > :03:04.happens in their life, but they need to understand it's wrong. Parents
:03:05. > :03:08.support it because they know it's important all children can speak out
:03:09. > :03:13.if they are feeling unsafe. They want their children to feel they can
:03:14. > :03:20.do that. Now because they've told us we can spread it to other children.
:03:21. > :03:25.They know what to do. Not many people knew about ChildLine, but now
:03:26. > :03:30.they are coming to different schools, a lot more children know.
:03:31. > :03:35.If we get worried and it's getting too big for us, we can always turn
:03:36. > :03:38.to someone. Today has been a bittersweet moment for the team who
:03:39. > :03:40.say the horrendous nature of cases like this remind them how important
:03:41. > :03:42.their work is. Police have confirmed that a woman's
:03:43. > :03:45.body found in an alleyway in Leicester was hidden
:03:46. > :03:49.in a suitcase. Officers were called
:03:50. > :03:51.to Cromer Street yesterday morning. A 50-year-old man is currently
:03:52. > :03:54.in custody being questioned In a quiet residential street
:03:55. > :04:02.in the Stoneygate area of Leicester, police continued their investigation
:04:03. > :04:04.today on Cromer Street They searched under cars,
:04:05. > :04:13.on the pathway and in doorways. Officers were called to this area
:04:14. > :04:17.at just after 9:30am yesterday. A member of the public had
:04:18. > :04:21.discovered a body in a suitcase. Today, police confirmed
:04:22. > :04:25.that it was a woman who died. People living nearby say they're
:04:26. > :04:28.shocked by what's happened. Normally in the evening time,
:04:29. > :04:34.nine o'clock, ten o'clock, we go freely because we've got
:04:35. > :04:37.takeaways on Evington Road so we go I don't know what has
:04:38. > :04:42.happened, but it's worrying Since yesterday, we've made sure
:04:43. > :04:48.we've been locking our doors properly at the back,
:04:49. > :04:52.the alleyway we check out, and the front doors, we make double
:04:53. > :04:56.sure it's locked properly. You don't want anything
:04:57. > :05:01.like this happening. I don't know who this person
:05:02. > :05:07.was or anything like that. But initially, I was agitated
:05:08. > :05:13.and felt a bit upset. Detectives say they want to hear
:05:14. > :05:16.from anyone who may have seen someone pulling a suitcase
:05:17. > :05:20.in Lyme Street and on the alleyway behind Cromer Street late on Monday
:05:21. > :05:26.afternoon or early evening. Emily Anderson is on Cromer
:05:27. > :05:28.Street this evening. Emily, what's the latest
:05:29. > :05:34.on the investigation? Well, detectives are still
:05:35. > :05:36.questioning a 50-year-old man He was arrested yesterday
:05:37. > :05:42.after the discovery of a woman's body in a suitcase not
:05:43. > :05:47.far from here. Police have until tonight
:05:48. > :05:52.to charge or release him. There's still a police presence
:05:53. > :05:54.tonight on Cromer Street while the investigation continues
:05:55. > :05:56.into the circumstances We'll bring you any
:05:57. > :06:08.updates in our late news. Still to come -

:07:57. > :08:07.jobs definitely going? Well, Alliance Healthcare have
:08:08. > :08:12.sent us a statement. They say that in order to ensure
:08:13. > :08:14.business growth and meet the needs of customers,
:08:15. > :08:17.they need to make improvements So they're making changes -
:08:18. > :08:25.mainly here in South Normanton They want to keep the impact on jobs
:08:26. > :08:29.as small as possible, but until they finish a consultation
:08:30. > :08:52.process with staff, they can't If jobs are lost, they could be

:14:09. > :14:12.It's not a question of never, it's really just about giving people
:14:13. > :14:18.But isn't this resettlement scheme a challenge for local councils?
:14:19. > :14:22.Because while they're funded by the foreign aid budget,
:14:23. > :14:28.we heard there's been a big problem getting school places.
:14:29. > :14:30.That's left different children, from the same families, scattered
:14:31. > :14:38.We also heard complaints about repeated cuts to English

:17:51. > :17:55.pleased to be the first team in Britain to do so. Such a brilliant
:17:56. > :18:03.thing to do. It's not just you, there are lots of other Panthers
:18:04. > :18:08.over there as well. We've got the entire Nottingham Panthers British
:18:09. > :18:12.contingent here. What they did was make history, the first British club
:18:13. > :18:21.ever to win a European trophy. Welcome to the studio. Let's talk
:18:22. > :18:27.about the scale of this achievement. Rob, Nottingham boy, how does it
:18:28. > :18:31.feel to have done this? Huge. The one thing we need over here for
:18:32. > :18:36.British ice hockey is exposure and winning this trophy is one of the
:18:37. > :18:40.things that will do that. It has done that. Rob, you scored the two
:18:41. > :18:46.final goals of the tournament. We can look at them now on the screen.
:18:47. > :18:52.This is used scoring. As they are going in, are you getting that
:18:53. > :18:57.feeling? Do you feel the history? Yeah, the last one we knew we'd won
:18:58. > :19:01.it when it went in. It was a good feeling to score and it's a huge
:19:02. > :19:06.achievement for the team and British hockey as a whole. How long do the
:19:07. > :19:13.celebrations go on for? A couple of days! You earned it! The final
:19:14. > :19:18.person we saw on the glass was Nicky, who had to come home because
:19:19. > :19:23.his wife had given birth, then he flew back out again. What does it do
:19:24. > :19:28.for the team? It gives huge energy to the team. He is well rested and
:19:29. > :19:31.it shows huge commitment to every person in the room. Coming back
:19:32. > :19:38.after having a newborn baby, it definitely shows commitment and it
:19:39. > :19:42.was great to get him back. Ollie, you're from down south but you've
:19:43. > :19:46.been in Nottingham for some time. In terms of junior development, what
:19:47. > :19:55.does it do in terms of selling the sport? It's huge, it gives the kids
:19:56. > :19:59.something to aspire to. We all started young in Britain. The
:20:00. > :20:03.exposure is really good and I hope a lot of kids get involved and it's
:20:04. > :20:09.given them something to aspire to. Ollie has a fat lip from an
:20:10. > :20:16.injection, not from anything that happened on the ice! Rop, the rest
:20:17. > :20:21.of the season, league play-offs, Challenge Cup, what can it do for
:20:22. > :20:25.you? A lot. Confidence is a big thing in any sport and you can't get
:20:26. > :20:30.more confident than winning this trophy. We didn't get much time off,
:20:31. > :20:35.we played in Belfast on Friday as at home on Sunday. We are on a roll and
:20:36. > :20:40.we will look to keep that going. Fantastic, thank you for coming in.
:20:41. > :20:41.Great to be out there with you and watching you do it. Thank you very
:20:42. > :20:44.much indeed. Some other sports news -
:20:45. > :20:47.Leicester's three time Masters snooker champion Mark Selby had
:20:48. > :20:50.a real fight to get past his first round opponent this
:20:51. > :20:51.year, Mark Williams. The world number one kept taking
:20:52. > :20:54.the lead, but kept finding Selby finally won in
:20:55. > :20:56.the deciding frame. And a career-best performance
:20:57. > :21:06.for Nottingham-based tennis It came at the Australian Open
:21:07. > :21:11.where Evans was able to beat the world number seven

:21:16. > :21:18.in the match Evans was Especially the circumstances,
:21:19. > :21:26.how I did it. It was tough and I had to fight
:21:27. > :21:30.quite hard to get through. The situation and the rankings,
:21:31. > :21:45.definitely the best. Whatever he does now will be making
:21:46. > :21:52.history, just like the Panthers. Fantastic, congratulations.
:21:53. > :21:53.Next, have you heard of a community cafe?
:21:54. > :21:55.Well, some use surplus food from supermarkets,
:21:56. > :21:58.but all offer a good meal and a chance to meet other people.
:21:59. > :22:01.By the end of this year, the local authority in Nottingham

:22:05. > :22:07.not least because these sort of eateries can also help people
:22:08. > :22:11.Howard is definitely part of the community here.

:22:25. > :22:31.Currently, there are 20 similar community cafes,
:22:32. > :22:35.or "superkitchens", that operate in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
:22:36. > :22:39.Chris volunteers here and it's improving his life.

:22:48. > :22:54.I've been volunteering here for the past few years,
:22:55. > :22:57.and I don't think it's a coincidence that it's coincided with me
:22:58. > :23:00.People have the option of giving some extra money,
:23:01. > :23:02.or paying it forward, so that another customer
:23:03. > :23:10.You can pay for your own meal and then you add on a certain amount

:23:13. > :23:19.It's just nice to relax and support your local facilities.
:23:20. > :23:23.The kind of social enterprise element of all of this,

:23:31. > :23:33.The Crocus cafe does make some use of surplus food.
:23:34. > :23:43.If there is any way we can stop food waste, it's amazing.
:23:44. > :23:47.We get things from Fair Share, the supermarket scheme,
:23:48. > :23:50.so we get food from them and make things out of those.
:23:51. > :23:52.The city council says it is supporting an increase
:23:53. > :24:04.in social eating and community cafes throughout 2017.
:24:05. > :24:10.I hope you've eaten at home because my stomach is going mad!
:24:11. > :24:15.Amazing idea. Now it's time for the weather. Not
:24:16. > :24:22.so amazing. Quite boring, I'm afraid. Hello.
:24:23. > :24:30.Quite great, misty and murky. It's been like that for a good few days.
:24:31. > :24:35.Really misty and murky in Derbyshire today. The same for Leicestershire
:24:36. > :24:40.and Nottinghamshire. Cloudy, grey and outbreaks of light rain and
:24:41. > :24:44.drizzle. That is how it will stay as we head through the evening and
:24:45. > :24:49.overnight. What's the bigger picture? High pressure is firmly in
:24:50. > :24:55.charge so it's settled. This little front is giving us outbreaks of
:24:56. > :25:00.patchy rain and drizzle, and cloud as well. Wind is light and
:25:01. > :25:05.temperatures aren't doing badly. It's quite calm, but you have to
:25:06. > :25:09.ignore the cloud. Patchy outbreaks of rain and drizzle for the hills
:25:10. > :25:15.and in the West. Mist and fog forming. Like wins, but because of
:25:16. > :25:20.the cloud blanket, we won't get a frost. Temperatures of six or seven
:25:21. > :25:26.Celsius. That was the high for today. Tomorrow morning, cloudy,
:25:27. > :25:32.misty and murky. You get the theme. Groundhog Day. It will be drizzly
:25:33. > :25:37.for some of us. Light winds and temperatures not doing so badly.
:25:38. > :25:42.Around seven or eight Celsius in the afternoon. Again, settled, it
:25:43. > :25:48.remains the same for Friday. High-pressure still in charge so
:25:49. > :25:53.still a lot of cloud and drizzle. Temperatures not bad on Friday, but
:25:54. > :25:59.as we get into the weekend, we start to see it becoming colder. At the
:26:00. > :26:02.minute it looks like possibly on Saturday it will start brightening
:26:03. > :26:09.and there is hope for a little bit of sunshine! Hopefully!
:26:10. > :26:15.We are now going to make you cry. We are mean. It's your last East
:26:16. > :26:23.Midlands today weather. I am leaving. I am off to York radio. I
:26:24. > :26:53.have faced the radio! During breakfast. See you tonight so!
:26:54. > :26:57.Hello. I hope you're well. I really do.
:26:58. > :27:01.Because if you're not, then chances are the NHS won't be able to
:27:02. > :27:05.look after you as well as it should. And that's wrong.
