:01:48. > :01:50.But last year, the 23-year-old, who had numerous learning difficulties
:01:51. > :01:56.and poor vision, was fatally attacked in a park by Joshua Hack
:01:57. > :02:01.and Keith Lowe, two men he considered to be friends. His family
:02:02. > :02:04.say they will never be closure. Shocked and devastated is an
:02:05. > :02:07.understatement on how we felt when we had the police at our house,
:02:08. > :02:13.telling us they had recovered a body, and they believed it to be
:02:14. > :02:16.Brendan. It isn't right how two evil can do such a horrific thing and
:02:17. > :02:21.leave such a massive hole in our lives but will never be filled
:02:22. > :02:25.again. After misinterpreting Brendan's behaviour towards a girl
:02:26. > :02:29.at a party, they'd hear him to Abbey Park in Leicester in the early hours
:02:30. > :02:36.of a morning on the 5th of July last year. Here, they subjected him to a
:02:37. > :02:39.brutal attack on mobile phone, inflicting 99 injuries before
:02:40. > :02:45.stripping him naked and placing him in a pond to avoid forensic tracing.

:02:55. > :03:01.suffering brain damage, five fractured ribs and collapsed lungs
:03:02. > :03:05.lungs. 21-year-old Hack admitted murder at an earlier hearing but
:03:06. > :03:10.22-year-old Lowe had originally denied the attack. But last week
:03:11. > :03:15.days into the trial, fresh footage emerged of him landing blows on
:03:16. > :03:20.Brendan. He was forced to change his plea. We felt we had a substantial
:03:21. > :03:26.case at the start of the trial. Finding the video at the last minute
:03:27. > :03:31.bolstered that and gave Mr Lowe no opportunity to carry on. It was an
:03:32. > :03:35.horrific crime and Brendan's family have been deeply distressed. It was
:03:36. > :03:40.a horrific attack. Today they were jailed for life, they will serve a
:03:41. > :03:41.minimum of 41 years and six months between them. Sentencing them, the
:03:42. > :04:04.judge said... Brendan's family are now trying to
:04:05. > :04:07.rebuild their lives. They say there simply aren't enough words to
:04:08. > :04:08.describe their heartbreak. The question they continue to ask is
:04:09. > :04:12.why? Amy, do you know if there was any
:04:13. > :04:20.reason for the attack? The court heard the attack had been
:04:21. > :04:23.planned, as I said in my report there after Hack and Lowe
:04:24. > :04:25.misinterpreted Brendan's behaviour towards a girl at a party,
:04:26. > :04:38.though it was stressed Hack and Lowe In one of their videos their head
:04:39. > :04:42.saying to him, this is what happens to paedophiles. The Crown advocates
:04:43. > :04:47.said nothing could be further from the truth. It was stressed that Hack
:04:48. > :04:54.and Lowe didn't intend to kill Brendan. They said it was a grievous
:04:55. > :05:00.bodily harm case not an intention to kill, adding he is tremendously sad
:05:01. > :05:01.he ever embarked on this. Lowe's representatives said he is ashamed
:05:02. > :05:06.and sorry for his actions. Unison has said its members
:05:07. > :05:09.are to step-up their industrial action in Derby over
:05:10. > :05:10.the long-running dispute between school support staff
:05:11. > :05:12.and the City Council. That's despite some parents saying
:05:13. > :05:15.they have now lost sympathy for teaching assistants
:05:16. > :05:17.following more than 50 days Today, TAs began a 24-hour vigil
:05:18. > :05:21.outside the council house. Our reporter Carolyn
:05:22. > :05:38.Moses is there now. Good evening. Just below the clock
:05:39. > :05:41.you can see in some miserable weather, the teaching assistants
:05:42. > :05:45.preparing to camp out in shifts through the night, as part of this
:05:46. > :05:51.24-hour vigil until 12 o'clock tomorrow. It all began just before
:05:52. > :05:55.midday today with the show of force. Around 150 teaching assistants
:05:56. > :05:59.marching through the streets, angry, showing their anger that their pay
:06:00. > :06:04.has been slashed by up to a quarter as part of a City Council pay
:06:05. > :06:09.review. After nine months of this protest and dispute, they are still
:06:10. > :06:15.no further on in this dispute. Still at an impact. As they prepared to
:06:16. > :06:20.bed down, the union is digging in. It's announced five further full
:06:21. > :06:25.days of action next week. But as we report, it comes as the patience of
:06:26. > :06:30.parents caught up in this dispute is starting to wear thin. Parents and
:06:31. > :06:34.school support staff protesting together against Derby City Council,
:06:35. > :06:41.just last month. But many parents say they've now had enough of both
:06:42. > :06:45.sides. Gemma Walker's 's son has severe learning difficulties and
:06:46. > :06:49.relies on teaching assistants. His son has to close with every strike.
:06:50. > :06:53.They were both that the council protest but now feel they can't
:06:54. > :07:00.trust either side. They are using our children as pawns, our children
:07:01. > :07:06.are just pawns. Is that really how you feel? Definitely, without a
:07:07. > :07:11.doubt. A recent letter from Unison to members urged them to increase
:07:12. > :07:16.disruption at schools. Jamie says despite still appreciating what they
:07:17. > :07:21.give her son, it's shaken her trust in the union. I cried because I wish
:07:22. > :07:25.they could see the impact this has had on the families. I've never felt
:07:26. > :07:31.that my son has been a burden on society before until now. And that
:07:32. > :07:35.is how we feel. At two schools in the city, almost every parent we
:07:36. > :07:46.spoke to this afternoon have lost at least some sympathy for the TAs.
:07:47. > :07:49.I've lost sympathy to be honest blue bear thinking of themselves, not the
:07:50. > :07:52.children. I understand they are losing money but it's the kids
:07:53. > :07:58.education that suffering is. You still sympathise but not as much.
:07:59. > :08:04.We're going to be put in a situation where we feel like we shouldn't be
:08:05. > :08:07.behind them. I'm behind them, 100%. Meanwhile for Gemma this has been
:08:08. > :08:11.the final straw. If Unison said we need our support for the next battle
:08:12. > :08:19.against the City Council what would you say? I would say no, I'm doing
:08:20. > :08:23.my own thing. With me now is Nicole Berisford from Unison. We are
:08:24. > :08:28.hearing that parental support is waning yet you're ramping up your
:08:29. > :08:33.action, five days up next week, why? We need to let the council know that
:08:34. > :08:39.our members are serious. They are serious about their campaign, they
:08:40. > :08:45.are serious about taking action. They've lost 25% of their pay. I'd
:08:46. > :08:50.like to apologise to parents on behalf of Unison for the disruption
:08:51. > :08:53.and thank them for their support. However they need to put the
:08:54. > :08:57.pressure on the council to meaningfully sit round the table and
:08:58. > :09:02.speak to us. Aren't the parents and the pupils becoming political pawns,
:09:03. > :09:06.just to make the council act? Well, I don't believe they are. If they
:09:07. > :09:11.are becoming political pawns that is a decision the Council are making by
:09:12. > :09:14.not meaningfully talking to Unison. The council have cancelled two out
:09:15. > :09:22.of three meetings in the last two weeks and walked away from the table
:09:23. > :09:27.with Acas. Me more than willing to sit down with them but they need to
:09:28. > :09:31.be to do that to resolve this dispute. The council are saying our
:09:32. > :09:36.members action is having little or no impact, we know that's not true.
:09:37. > :09:41.Parents know that's not true. How far are you prepared to go? It's
:09:42. > :09:45.going to continue until the council sit back round the table and resolve
:09:46. > :09:50.this dispute. They have the financial means to do that. Sit and
:09:51. > :09:53.talk to us. We asked for the council to be interviewed, they couldn't be
:09:54. > :09:57.available for interview but they issued a statement. They say they
:09:58. > :10:03.are committed to ending this dispute and asking Unison to suspend its
:10:04. > :10:07.action, but it says it is devastating children's education and
:10:08. > :10:11.hurting families. It seems as we go on, there are long hours ahead with
:10:12. > :10:15.the two sides further apart than ever.
:10:16. > :10:17.A 14-year-old charged with attempted murder has appeared
:10:18. > :10:21.It follows an incident in Aylestone in the early

:10:26. > :10:32.He's due to appear at Crown Court on the 20th of March.

:10:36. > :10:37.by dangerous driving after a 14-year-old boy died

:11:23. > :11:33.When the call came in I was across the other side... PC James Patterson
:11:34. > :11:36.was on duty at the football on Saturday when a call came through
:11:37. > :11:41.that a man was in the River Trent in Nottingham. He and his colleague
:11:42. > :11:46.Paul Easter ran to the scene, to find the man 50 metres from the
:11:47. > :11:50.side. My immediate reaction was, it's too far out to do anything
:11:51. > :11:54.other than somebody to get into the water. PC Paterson stripped out of
:11:55. > :11:58.his uniform, dived into the water with a life buoy and swam out to the
:11:59. > :12:05.man. Colleagues managed to pull them both back to the bank. The officers
:12:06. > :12:10.on the side had managed to revive him and he was up and breathing. It
:12:11. > :12:14.was quite an overwhelming sensation what had just happened. A
:12:15. > :12:19.competitive swimmer since he was eight, PC Paterson is now a member
:12:20. > :12:23.of the British police swimming team. Also a qualified diver, he spent the
:12:24. > :12:27.last eight years in the underwater search unit. Did you give any
:12:28. > :12:31.thought at that stage to your own safety? I think at that point
:12:32. > :12:34.instinct kicked in and I did what had been trained to do as a police
:12:35. > :12:39.officer and a life-saver. The man who was rescued is now said to be
:12:40. > :12:42.awake and talking, and recovering with his family in the Queen 's
:12:43. > :12:47.medical Centre. Nottinghamshire Police said James and his three
:12:48. > :12:53.colleagues conducted themselves in a truly inspirational way. His
:12:54. > :12:56.Sergeant Julian Smedley said PC Paterson displayed true courage,
:12:57. > :13:02.selfless commitment and determination. He gave no thought
:13:03. > :13:07.for his own safety. Amazing stuff and worthy of a commendation. We
:13:08. > :13:13.come across various scenarios and situations where there is also of
:13:14. > :13:17.outcomes. And I think it's just one of those few days where we get to go
:13:18. > :13:19.home and think, I did actually make a difference today. And it was one
:13:20. > :13:26.of those days. What a hero. It's one of our best known acronyms
:13:27. > :13:29.but if you need reminding, it refers to young people not

:14:21. > :14:24.to be aware of really good support that's available,

:14:41. > :14:43.are you thinking you would benefit from, that the careers service might
:14:44. > :14:47.be able to give you? I think I would need help

:15:06. > :15:07.want to find a job? It's one thing that
:15:08. > :15:12.I really want to do most. We find these doorstep visits

:15:15. > :15:18.with are perhaps not ready to be Sometimes they find
:15:19. > :15:20.that a bit daunting. I think it's brilliant,
:15:21. > :15:23.these people seem to be taking a keen interest in young people,
:15:24. > :15:26.and it can only do good. And if it motivates a few

:20:29. > :20:33.and a scramble from Jon Stead saw his new team 2-0 up.
:20:34. > :20:36.But the Londoners fought back immediately, and eventually sent
:20:37. > :20:40.this game into a fascinating conclusion.
:20:41. > :20:43.It looked as though it would be a draw after this made it 2-2,
:20:44. > :20:46.but County scored a rare away win, and continued their revival under
:20:47. > :20:51.Nolan when Jon Stead scored his second.
:20:52. > :20:53.Meanwhile, Mansfield Town's unbeaten run came to an end
:20:54. > :21:04.In rugby, have the Leicester Tigers turned a corner?
:21:05. > :21:07.They head to this Friday's game at Harlequins off the back
:21:08. > :21:12.The latest - a season's best against Bristol.
:21:13. > :21:14.The long-term injured are coming back, and so too
:21:15. > :21:19.Just in time for the end of season play-off push.
:21:20. > :21:22.After nearly three months out with injury, JP Pietersen scored two
:21:23. > :21:28.Even longer out, Telusa Veainu, firstly with a try, and then
:21:29. > :21:31.the sort of run he graced the premiership with for
:21:32. > :21:38.His pace and deft footwork cutting through Bristol, for another score.
:21:39. > :21:44.The half-century came when the powerful pack went over
:21:45. > :21:53.Leicester's biggest win of the season.
:21:54. > :21:55.Former Leicester Tigers boss Richard Cockerill has been appointed
:21:56. > :21:58.He was sacked by the Tigers earlier this year.
:21:59. > :22:01.But starts a two year deal at the start of next season.
:22:02. > :22:04.And finally a mixed weekend for the Nottingham Panthers Ice Hockey team.
:22:05. > :22:07.They beat Coventry Blaze 4-1 in Nottingham on Saturday.
:22:08. > :22:16.But went down to the same team 5-1 in Coventry yesterday evening.
:22:17. > :22:18.Now each night this week on East Midlands Today we'll be
:22:19. > :22:22.With a controversial sugar tax on soft drinks looming
:22:23. > :22:24.we'll be hearing some of the health arguments.
:22:25. > :22:26.But tonight we look at where the sweet substance
:22:27. > :22:31.And you might be surprised to learn that much of it is grown
:22:32. > :22:36.here in the East Midlands and it's processed her too.
:22:37. > :22:39.We've been given rare access to the British Sugar plant in Newark.
:22:40. > :22:49.Rob Sissons follows the processing of sugar from field to factory.
:22:50. > :22:53.They call this the sugar campaign, the East Midlands sugar beet harvest
:22:54. > :23:00.60% of the sugar in the UK comes from home-grown sugar beet fields,
:23:01. > :23:03.such as the one we're standing in now.
:23:04. > :23:07.About 17-18% of this root is actually sugar.
:23:08. > :23:11.A lot of sugar beet is grown in the East Midlands.
:23:12. > :23:14.There are 600 growers supplying the new factory.
:23:15. > :23:20.They've been growing it here since the 1950s.
:23:21. > :23:23.New varieties, mild winters, increased mechanisation.
:23:24. > :23:25.They're getting more sugar from these fields
:23:26. > :23:31.The 1990s, compared with today's crop, we've probably got
:23:32. > :23:40.Newark's sugar factory has done well to survive.
:23:41. > :23:42.It's nearly 100 years old, one of only four left run
:23:43. > :23:50.Within minutes of the sugar beet arriving at the factory,
:23:51. > :23:57.What television can't convey is the smell here, isn't it?
:23:58. > :24:04.Which is like a vegetable, a boiling vegetable kind of smell.
:24:05. > :24:08.Not at the moment, until we get into the factory.
:24:09. > :24:19.So, the sliced sugar beet, they're called cossettes.
:24:20. > :24:29.It's a bit like carrot, with quite a bit of sugar in.
:24:30. > :24:42.Well, we take the juice from the sliced sugar beet,
:24:43. > :24:45.and we concentrate it up by a series of boiling is, to produce
:24:46. > :24:47.a thicker solution that is ready to crystallise.
:24:48. > :24:49.We then introduce some really fine sugar crystals,
:24:50. > :24:56.that sets off a chain reaction, by which the sugar crystals grow.
:24:57. > :24:58.So, from the field to the finished product has
:24:59. > :25:10.And it takes around five of these to create one kilogram of sugar.
:25:11. > :25:13.So, sugar may be healthy for farming, but what about
:25:14. > :25:18.Attacks on soft drinks is on the way, but is that right,
:25:19. > :25:29.The health arguments, on tomorrow night's programme.
:25:30. > :25:36.Me and my brother used to make sugar sandwiches when we got home from
:25:37. > :25:42.school! We wouldn't recommend it at all. It was quite tasty.
:25:43. > :25:50.Sweet tooth, Lucy? Sadly. Some might say I'm sweet enough!
:25:51. > :25:56.Across the East Midlands we shall maximum temperature is 15 Celsius.
:25:57. > :26:01.As we move through this week, we'll see some quite changeable weather. A
:26:02. > :26:05.spell of wet and windy weather on the way overnight into Thursday, and
:26:06. > :26:09.we will see those temperatures falling away. Here's what's going on
:26:10. > :26:12.in the bigger picture. We've got a series of weather fronts coming
:26:13. > :26:16.across the Atlantic. They will bring rain at times and will see the
:26:17. > :26:20.breeze picking up. Putting the detail onto the map, we've got lots
:26:21. > :26:23.of cloud around as we move through the evening and overnight. There
:26:24. > :26:26.will be some outbreaks of drizzle and white patchy rain that will
:26:27. > :26:33.become more widespread into the early hours. Temperatures overnight
:26:34. > :26:36.not too bad. A mild start of the day tomorrow, I think we'll see some
:26:37. > :26:39.outbreaks of rain fizzling out through the morning. In the
:26:40. > :26:44.north-east a few bright intervals but for most of us a largely cloudy
:26:45. > :26:48.day. Those winds easing and temperatures reaching 12 Celsius.
:26:49. > :26:52.It's this rain in the wings that will pick up the breeze and bring
:26:53. > :26:55.some outbreaks of rain through the night. That will clear in the
:26:56. > :26:59.morning through to Wednesday and bind it a fresher feel but some
:27:00. > :27:05.bright intervals. We will feel some noticeably cooler weather as we drag
:27:06. > :27:11.in some cooler air from the north-east. A cooler field to the
:27:12. > :27:15.weather. By the time we get to Friday we could even see some wintry
:27:16. > :27:19.showers. A mild start of the week but things turning increasingly
:27:20. > :27:23.unsettled. We could see a spell of something wet and windy on Thursday
:27:24. > :27:27.but there is some uncertainty. Stay tuned to the forecast. Turning more
:27:28. > :27:33.settled by Friday with the potential to see some wintry showers. I think
:27:34. > :27:37.we are ready for spring now! I've got my eye on Spain again.
:27:38. > :27:43.It did looked better there. I think Seville over Skegness! Nothing wrong
:27:44. > :28:12.with Skegness! Will see later. You're sponsored to swap
:28:13. > :28:14.clothes? I don't get that. Maybe you wear your mother's
:28:15. > :28:17.clothes? Cool. Yeah, finally. What? I don't get it, what does she wear?
:28:18. > :28:19.No, no... Like, she wears someone else's.
:28:20. > :28:21.Cool, yeah. No, she's... OK, that's too complicated.
:28:22. > :28:23.Do another one. So, like, you get sponsored to let
:28:24. > :28:26.people lick stuff off you for a day. Ugh. No, but, like, you get these
:28:27. > :28:29.flavoured... Not going to happen. You take a selfie and post it on
:28:30. > :28:37.social media or whatever, and then people have to pay
:28:38. > :28:44.to guess who it is? That's a no-brainer,
:28:45. > :28:46.we love the secret selfie. 'For better ideas,
:28:47. > :28:50.get your free fundraising kit now.'
