:00:14. > :00:15.Tonight, a major boost for manufacturing in this
:00:16. > :00:21.region as Toyota unveils a ?240 million investment plan.
:00:22. > :00:31.This investment is being seen as a huge list. Also tonight, Doctor who
:00:32. > :00:36.give a patient too much of a strong painkiller speaks at her inquest.
:00:37. > :00:42.Plus going with the full. Junction 19 of the M1 is officially opened
:00:43. > :00:47.after a major upgrade. And journey times are set to be cut by half an
:00:48. > :00:53.hour. And time for bed in one of the grandest beds in the country. It has
:00:54. > :01:00.certainly not been inexpensive. I think it is looking like the most
:01:01. > :01:09.spectacular piece of furniture in the house.
:01:10. > :01:13.First tonight, Toyota has announced a massive investment
:01:14. > :01:16.Thousands of people work there and the quarter
:01:17. > :01:18.of a billion pound injection will modernise its
:01:19. > :01:21.The company said no guarantees could be given about the long-term
:01:22. > :01:23.future of car marking in Derbyshire, but Toyota's president
:01:24. > :01:36.said it was a vote of confidence in the workforce.
:01:37. > :01:39.More than 4 million vehicles have rolled off the production line
:01:40. > :01:43.at Toyota in Derbyshire since production began in 1992,
:01:44. > :01:47.but the future of the plant has been far from secure since Brexit.
:01:48. > :01:50.Today, though, Toyota threw its support behind Burnaston
:01:51. > :01:55.by announcing a ?240 million upgrade of manufacturing facilities.
:01:56. > :02:00.Does it guarantee the future of car production here for Burnaston?
:02:01. > :02:06.We always have to be competitive and that means
:02:07. > :02:07.building cars with quality, high productivity, low-cost,
:02:08. > :02:20.but what this investment does do is it significantly supports that.
:02:21. > :02:23.But finally that is down to our members' skill and energy.
:02:24. > :02:25.This is a huge demonstration of the faith and confidence
:02:26. > :02:28.in the workforce here and that we can achieve the
:02:29. > :02:31.Toyota's investment is being backed up with ?21 million of government
:02:32. > :02:39.On a tour of the plan today, Business Secretary Greg Clark called
:02:40. > :02:43.Toyota's investment a boost to the UK car industry.
:02:44. > :02:45.How significant is this investment for securing jobs and future car
:02:46. > :02:55.A quarter of a billion is a lot of money by anyone's standards.
:02:56. > :02:58.And for Toyota globally to commit that to Derbyshire,
:02:59. > :03:02.Since Brexit, there has been widespread caution in the UK car
:03:03. > :03:03.manufacturing industry, with fears over possible
:03:04. > :03:10.This investment is being seen as a huge vote of confidence
:03:11. > :03:24.And it will also reassure some of the 2600 staff who work here.
:03:25. > :03:26.Our political editor Tony Roe is here now.
:03:27. > :03:28.Is this a sign that big global investors are committed
:03:29. > :03:30.to East Midlands industry, whether we are in
:03:31. > :03:45.Well, you would hope so, but the phrase in the report which leaked so
:03:46. > :03:49.it is no guarantees. I don't think you can guarantee anything. Toyota
:03:50. > :03:54.have always said they want to be as efficient as possible, whatever
:03:55. > :03:59.happens with Brexit. The fear is hard Brexit because that will be 10%
:04:00. > :04:07.on tariffs for most cars coming into our country. They don't want ?1500
:04:08. > :04:12.added to the price of each car. Nissan in October were given
:04:13. > :04:16.assurances from the government. We didn't find out what the support
:04:17. > :04:25.was, but we know with Toyota and the have been given 21 billion pounds --
:04:26. > :04:35.?21 million. No guarantee for the long term would suggest that the
:04:36. > :04:39.jury in Toyota in Japan is still out on Brexit. That is what you might
:04:40. > :04:54.think. Toyota are not going to want to invest a lot of money here. But a
:04:55. > :05:01.quarter of ?1 billion would indicate they see a big future here. Can you
:05:02. > :05:07.update is about election irregularities? It dates back to the
:05:08. > :05:18.by-election in 2014. The money spent on the local campaign. We know that
:05:19. > :05:25.they have an allowance of around ?15,000 they are allowed to spend
:05:26. > :05:29.locally. Year, there seems to have been lines blurred between national
:05:30. > :05:36.expenses and local expenses. Money was spent to put up people in hotels
:05:37. > :05:40.who were campaigning. The rule they have to obey by me come up, and it
:05:41. > :05:48.is a rule all candidates have to stick to, if they come from outside
:05:49. > :05:57.the region, don't mention the local candidate. There has been some
:05:58. > :06:03.muddying of the water. We know that 70,000 pounds has been fined. One
:06:04. > :06:07.Conservative MP has told me it was a clock up. Other parties have fallen
:06:08. > :06:15.foul of the same electoral commission. Labour were fined over

:07:14. > :07:19.night, she was found unconscious on the floor by her boyfriend. She
:07:20. > :07:29.later died in hospital. At the inquest, the GP explained how he
:07:30. > :07:34.made the error of prescribing ten times the amount of the medicine. He
:07:35. > :07:38.said while using the computer prescription system, he thought he
:07:39. > :07:44.was prescribing the correct dosage. He learned of his error in April
:07:45. > :07:51.2015. At that point, he said, I was in quite a lot of shock. I couldn't
:07:52. > :07:58.believe I had done it, to be honest. The postmortem report found one of
:07:59. > :08:05.the causes of death was poisoning. At the start of the inquest, the
:08:06. > :08:12.toxicologist said the level of that drug after her death was incredibly
:08:13. > :08:17.high. Dr Lawrence Axten's said to her family, I am very sorry, I truly

:17:29. > :17:36.We have to make sure that we are not only competitive in any game,

:17:52. > :18:02.Here's the man Nottingham Forest have turned to to save their
:18:03. > :18:07.championship status. Mark Warburton was appointed on Tuesday. Today, his
:18:08. > :18:16.first Nottingham Forest press conference. It excites me. There is
:18:17. > :18:23.a job to be done here. There is no doubt about the potential. He has
:18:24. > :18:28.become the eighth manager since the new owner came in nearly five years
:18:29. > :18:35.ago. Had he been given any reassurances of your position if the
:18:36. > :18:39.club is sold in the summer? I have received the guarantees I need to
:18:40. > :18:50.receive. I am comfortable and confident they are moving forward.
:18:51. > :18:55.He is 54 years old. He became a coach ten years ago. His first
:18:56. > :18:58.managerial job was taking Brentford from League 1 to the championship
:18:59. > :19:04.play-offs. Highly thought of in England, he went to Scotland and
:19:05. > :19:07.secured Glasgow Rangers's return to the Scottish Premiership. Best
:19:08. > :19:18.appointment he has made since he came in. Every time we get one, they
:19:19. > :19:23.never have time. Just gets sacked. Same routine. He did well at
:19:24. > :19:30.Brentford. He left Rangers in a bit of a cloud. But it is a new start
:19:31. > :19:36.for Nottingham Forest and him. Nottingham Forest are two points
:19:37. > :19:40.above the relegation zone. Did you feel it was a calculated risk coming
:19:41. > :19:44.here? Nottingham Forest have so little time to try to stay in the
:19:45. > :19:53.division. Nine tough games coming up. This division is relentless. You
:19:54. > :20:02.live and die by the quality of the decisions. But the size of the club,
:20:03. > :20:09.their history, that has to excite you. He has to hit the ground
:20:10. > :20:11.running. His next game is the biggest of the season, the East
:20:12. > :20:15.Midlands derby. So, Warburton will be in the dug out
:20:16. > :20:18.for Forest at the City Ground. Facing him will be Derby County's
:20:19. > :20:21.new man Gary Rowett. Today in the build up to the game

:20:28. > :20:31.thing, there was interest from different factions,

:20:39. > :20:40.trying to perhaps buy the club, But, you know, at no point
:20:41. > :20:47.was I physically offer that job. But, you know, at no point
:20:48. > :20:50.was I physically offered that job. It's a club that, you know, probably
:20:51. > :20:54.in a different way to Derby, As far as I'm concerned,
:20:55. > :21:02.if you're giving me the opportunity of the two clubs, I don't think it
:21:03. > :21:05.would've been that Now, a bit of a landmark moment
:21:06. > :21:09.for basketball in Leicester. The Riders men are well
:21:10. > :21:11.used to big finals. And this weekend - in Glasgow -
:21:12. > :21:14.they will defend the BBL What is different this time is that
:21:15. > :21:18.joining them in Glasgow They are contesting
:21:19. > :21:23.their first major trophy. A little game of three on three
:21:24. > :21:42.is supposed to be a bit of fun, but the men are taking
:21:43. > :21:44.it way too seriously. Now, every competition should
:21:45. > :21:57.feel easy after that. So I thought we prepared
:21:58. > :21:59.them pretty well. The women's team at Hall definitely
:22:00. > :22:04.have glory on their mind. It's been a swift rise to second
:22:05. > :22:07.in the league and the Trophy final. Personnel wise, we have great
:22:08. > :22:10.players who have joined our team. Our coach emphasises
:22:11. > :22:13.the attitude of saying positive. The camaraderie is right there now
:22:14. > :22:16.because we are playing so well. It's been such a success
:22:17. > :22:21.since I've been here, so our spirits are very high
:22:22. > :22:24.and we are all very pumped. As for the men, they are
:22:25. > :22:26.the defending Trophy holders. No matter if this is a final

:22:39. > :22:41.or a regular season game, We describe here and play the full

:22:59. > :23:01.that day and our support of them in the afternoon
:23:02. > :23:19.will definitely help. Both teams are on the BBC sport
:23:20. > :23:21.website on Sunday. You can watch them in full.
:23:22. > :23:23.Thank you. Now, it may only be tea-time,
:23:24. > :23:26.but if you fancy a lie down, we have news of a rather swish place
:23:27. > :23:29.to lay your head. It is the huge state bed
:23:30. > :23:32.at Kedleston Hall which has been restored to its former glory -
:23:33. > :23:34.complete with new The bed is the impressive
:23:35. > :23:39.centrepiece of a 30 year long restoration of the Derbyshire
:23:40. > :23:45.stately home's grandest rooms. Curtain up at last on one
:23:46. > :23:48.of the finest pieces The grand state bed
:23:49. > :23:52.at Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire. Made by craftsmen in the 1760s,
:23:53. > :23:54.the bed is now back To use a 21st-century term,
:23:55. > :24:10.its sort of bling had gone. Things like the raid and the lease
:24:11. > :24:13.had gone or got very tarnished. And it ended up not having
:24:14. > :24:16.an accurate replica of the original And it felt really important
:24:17. > :24:20.that we sort of got that. And it felt really important
:24:21. > :24:23.that we sort of got that back. Simon and a team of conservatives
:24:24. > :24:27.and modern craftspeople laboured to restore the carvings,
:24:28. > :24:29.silk banners and gilding. Surprisingly, all that gold had
:24:30. > :24:32.a practical function back So the gilding is
:24:33. > :24:34.luxurious material. The room would have been lit
:24:35. > :24:38.by candles, there would've a fire. It wouldn't have been
:24:39. > :24:40.terribly bright. And all this gilding helped
:24:41. > :24:43.you find your way to the bed. It helped people navigate
:24:44. > :24:47.their way around the room The bed had been designed
:24:48. > :24:50.for a monarch's visit. Sadly one never came
:24:51. > :24:52.to Kedleston Hall, It was partly designed
:24:53. > :24:57.in the hope of a royal visit. This was a family who were very
:24:58. > :25:00.much sort of upping Kedleston was really built
:25:01. > :25:08.as a way for the family to show they had money,
:25:09. > :25:10.but more importantly, The rooms tended to get more
:25:11. > :25:14.and more grand the further around So the bed is really intended to be
:25:15. > :25:21.that sort of great final It has taken 30 years to restore
:25:22. > :25:25.all the finest rooms in the house. Now, as this season starts,
:25:26. > :25:44.the bed can be seen once The throw and curtains are missing.
:25:45. > :25:52.Everyone knows a good bed needs that.
:25:53. > :25:56.We have had sunny spells throughout much of this week. Scattered showers
:25:57. > :26:01.on the way. Some blue sky over the region earlier, but over the weekend
:26:02. > :26:05.we will look to the flowers for some brightness, not the skies. Thanks
:26:06. > :26:10.for your pictures. Tomorrow, we expect some bright spells in the
:26:11. > :26:15.morning. We expect wet weather later on in the day. This was the picture
:26:16. > :26:21.earlier on. Lots of cloud around. Breaking up towards the end of the
:26:22. > :26:25.afternoon, so some brightness. Detail for the next few days,

:26:41. > :26:45.region. Clearer spells in the early hours as well. Lohse night of around
:26:46. > :26:49.4 degrees. Tomorrow morning, we will see some bright spells to begin

:27:04. > :27:08.tomorrow. Breezy as well. We expect more rain on the way, not a complete
:27:09. > :27:16.wash-out at the weekend. Temperature is recovering a little as well. As
:27:17. > :27:21.he looked towards next week, again more fronts coming in our direction,
:27:22. > :27:26.so more rain on the way. Enjoy the brightness when you see it because

:27:54. > :27:58.For one second, I was swimming on my back, and I was looking to the sky.
:27:59. > :28:04.I was swimming across the Aegean Sea.
:28:05. > :28:20.I was a refugee, going from Syria to Germany.
