:00:13. > :00:25.They have got machine guns and they are everywhere. They are very
:00:26. > :00:27.fierce, they are getting everybody out. It is not good.
:00:28. > :00:29.Also tonight: The head of the National Child Abuse Inquiry
:00:30. > :00:31.tells us she will start to investigate Nottinghamshire
:00:32. > :00:35.Plus, the vest invested invented by two 16-year-olds

:00:47. > :01:00.First tonight, in the wake of the Westminster attack,
:01:01. > :01:04.several of our MPs have been telling East Midlands Today how
:01:05. > :01:07.they were caught up in today's damatic events.
:01:08. > :01:10.Armed and masked police swept through the Palace of Westminster
:01:11. > :01:13.as an attacker was shot dead after ramming a car
:01:14. > :01:21.Several MPs have given us eye-witness accounts of the moment
:01:22. > :01:24.Parliament was put under lockdown, and their reaction to this
:01:25. > :01:28.First, I spoke to Broxtowe MP Anna Soubry as she was caught
:01:29. > :01:32.in a Westminster corridor at the height of the crisis.
:01:33. > :01:35.Anna, can you tell me, where are you just at the moment?
:01:36. > :01:38.I am outside Speaker's House and I have got armed police
:01:39. > :01:44.What was the first thing you knew about what was happening?
:01:45. > :01:47.When they closed and locked all the doors.
:01:48. > :01:49.The police are now doing an operation, they are
:01:50. > :01:54.I am standing here in the corridor with Margaret Beckett.
:01:55. > :02:04.What is happening, we can't actually hear what they are saying.
:02:05. > :02:15.They are evacuating the whole building, everybody.
:02:16. > :02:23.I have never seen cops like this, ever.
:02:24. > :02:31.To be truthful, I think they have put the wind up everyone.
:02:32. > :02:35.I can hear a lot of shouting, it sounds very frightening.
:02:36. > :02:41.Leicester South MP John Ashworth was also at Westminster.
:02:42. > :02:44.As staff were led to safety, he spoke of the defiance
:02:45. > :02:53.of Parliament in the face of the terrorists.
:02:54. > :03:03.People can attack this building, but this building represents democracy.
:03:04. > :03:09.In the end, freedom and democracy will wind, and I think that is
:03:10. > :03:16.something we will bear in mind. Lots of people vote for me, but lots of
:03:17. > :03:18.people don't vote me, and that is the beauty of democracy. We will
:03:19. > :03:24.never let people like this defeat us on that. Meanwhile, Nicky Morgan
:03:25. > :03:29.heard the shots ring out in Westminster.
:03:30. > :03:35.I was walking with lots of other MPs from this Elvin, portcullis house,
:03:36. > :03:38.towards the main building, the House of Commons chamber, and suddenly
:03:39. > :03:44.heard the shots ring out. You know, there was lots of yelling, people
:03:45. > :03:48.shouting to get on the floor, to go back. Yes, a very, very shocking
:03:49. > :03:50.incident and thoughts are with those who have been injured or killed.
:03:51. > :03:53.Our own Political Correspondent Tony Roe is still in Westminster,
:03:54. > :03:54.where he's been throughout today's unfolding drama.
:03:55. > :04:00.Where are you, Tony and what's the latest?
:04:01. > :04:14.The latest is I am in a building where the MPs have their offices. I
:04:15. > :04:17.spent three hours in one MP's office overlooking Westminster Bridge.
:04:18. > :04:22.There are still five London buses parked on the bridge. We will just
:04:23. > :04:25.has to leave the office, the police have come and they are taking
:04:26. > :04:28.witness statements from eyewitnesses who saw the shooting. One office
:04:29. > :04:38.worker is particularly shaken at events. There are a big mixture of
:04:39. > :04:42.people here. There are chefs lying in corridors, MPs with the Shadow
:04:43. > :04:49.Foreign Secretary if you moment a way. They are going through each
:04:50. > :04:54.building at Westminster, the police, clearing them one by one, making
:04:55. > :04:59.sure we are all who we say we are. I can tell you, when the incident
:05:00. > :05:03.started and there was panic at the entrance to portcullis house, people
:05:04. > :05:07.running in terror away from Westminster Bridge, at that moment I
:05:08. > :05:10.spoke to someone who said he had been ushered through security
:05:11. > :05:13.without having the proper checks, so maybe there is that fear that
:05:14. > :05:20.somebody came through the cord on. We don't know that. As each hour
:05:21. > :05:24.goes by, it seems less likely, but we have to wait here until we are
:05:25. > :05:27.given the clearance to go. Tony, thank you.
:05:28. > :05:28.Well, before today's lockdown in Westminster -
:05:29. > :05:31.some Parlimentary business was carried out.
:05:32. > :05:34.Amongst it, a bill called Tyler's Law was tabled
:05:35. > :05:40.in the Commons by the Leicester MP Keith Vaz.
:05:41. > :05:42.It follows the fatal stabbing of 16-year-old Tyler Thompson
:05:43. > :05:46.His killer had previously been given a police caution
:05:47. > :05:49.Today Tyler's mother and campaigners, including
:05:50. > :05:51.the Leicester East MP, called for those carrying
:05:52. > :05:59.knives to automatically be given jail terms.
:06:00. > :06:06.Cautions aren't working, knife awareness courses don't work. There
:06:07. > :06:10.needs to be a tougher penalty to stop people carrying them. We need
:06:11. > :06:15.to do more, not just in Leicester, but all over the country. We need to
:06:16. > :06:19.stop young people carrying knives. They just carry it like it is
:06:20. > :06:23.everyday, a normal thing to do, but it is not. By pulling a knife, they
:06:24. > :06:25.are taking their lives the way as well.
:06:26. > :06:27.Still to come: The local authority operating a library
:06:28. > :06:30.Plus, we will be meeting the two Leicestershire
:06:31. > :06:41.teenagers whose award-winning invention could end up saving lives.
:06:42. > :06:43.Next this evening, an exclusive interview with the head
:06:44. > :06:45.of the Independent Inquiry Into Child Sexual Abuse.
:06:46. > :06:48.Alexis Jay has revealed that her investigation
:06:49. > :06:52.into Nottinghamshire children's homes will finally get
:06:53. > :06:57.The inquiry's setting up what it's calling a "pop-up office"
:06:58. > :06:59.here in the East Midlands, for survivors to tell their stories.
:07:00. > :07:02.It's also considering allegations against the former Leicester

:07:17. > :07:20.A former Leicester MP, who died after being charged with a catalogue
:07:21. > :07:22.of child sex offences, and a Nottingham children's home
:07:23. > :07:24.where a police investigation has prompted hundreds
:07:25. > :07:31.Visiting that city today, the professor who is leading
:07:32. > :07:34.the vast inquiry into child sexual abuse is about to formally
:07:35. > :07:37.open her own investigation into homes in Nottinghamshire.
:07:38. > :07:41.We do want to make a difference to the victims, but the other aspect
:07:42. > :07:44.of our objectives in the inquiry are to make recommendations
:07:45. > :07:50.We are going to set up a local arrangement for people
:07:51. > :07:52.to come forward to The Truth Project.
:07:53. > :07:54.They will be treated in a confidential manner
:07:55. > :07:57.with support if they do come forward to talk to us.
:07:58. > :08:00.I do know something about the behaviour of institutions...
:08:01. > :08:05.She was here to speak at a national conference on child sexual abuse,
:08:06. > :08:07.organised by Sheila Taylor, who uncovered the Derby
:08:08. > :08:10.street grooming scandal, and is convinced the abuse
:08:11. > :08:13.inquiry can make make a huge difference.
:08:14. > :08:15.It is important to hear their story, their experiences
:08:16. > :08:21.The one thing that we have to do is we have to create a society
:08:22. > :08:31.The independent inquiry has already heard from a former
:08:32. > :08:34.Nottingham social worker, Margaret Humphreys, who traced
:08:35. > :08:38.children in care who were shipped across the British Empire but,
:08:39. > :08:42.after so many years, what can the abuse inquiry really achieve?
:08:43. > :08:46.Many people who have been abused in Nottingham
:08:47. > :08:49.and elsewhere can come forward and share their experiences with us.
:08:50. > :08:53.It is not intended to be therapeutic, but it
:08:54. > :09:00.For the survivors of child sexual abuse, the memories won't fade,
:09:01. > :09:03.and the professor's independent inquiry won't bring back
:09:04. > :09:13.The hope is that it can at least protect future generations.
:09:14. > :09:15.An investigation's underway into whether the police could have
:09:16. > :09:18.prevented an acid attack on a man in Leicester.
:09:19. > :09:21.Daniel Rotairo was blinded and disfigured in the assault last July.
:09:22. > :09:24.His former girlfriend and another man were charged
:09:25. > :09:30.Yesterday, 52-year-old Katie Leong was jailed for life,
:09:31. > :09:36.The Independent Police Complaints Commission says it's now looking
:09:37. > :09:39.into how officers responded to earlier reports that the pair had
:09:40. > :09:45.breached a restraining order and obtained sulphuric acid.
:09:46. > :09:48.A man's pleaded not guilty to murdering his wife whose body
:09:49. > :09:50.was found in a suitcase.46-year-old Kiran Daudia was discovered
:09:51. > :09:53.at Cromer Street in Leicester in January.
:09:54. > :09:56.Today her estranged husband, 50-year-old Ashwin Daudia,
:09:57. > :10:00.appeared via video link at Leicester Crown Court.
:10:01. > :10:07.His trial's now due to be held in June.
:10:08. > :10:10.Police are offering attack alarms to runners in part of Derbyshire
:10:11. > :10:12.after two sexual assaults on joggers in a week.
:10:13. > :10:15.A female runner was attacked on a canal towpath near
:10:16. > :10:21.Now police say another woman was grabbed and assaulted yesterday
:10:22. > :10:24.morning while jogging in nearby Belper.
:10:25. > :10:30.Detectives are investigating whether the attacks are linked.
:10:31. > :10:33.A retired teacher from Nottinghamshire has gone on trial
:10:34. > :10:36.accused of historical sex offences against children as young as nine.
:10:37. > :10:38.Christopher Metcalfe has denied indecently assaulting two girls
:10:39. > :10:48.and raping a third at several locations near Mansfield.
:10:49. > :11:01.Christopher Metcalfe is now 70. It is claimed he took advantage of
:11:02. > :11:05.three underage girls. The allegations date back to the 1970s,
:11:06. > :11:11.the first when he was a newly qualified teacher. The Jiri Dvorak
:11:12. > :11:18.heard he sexually touched a girl during story time, and then after a
:11:19. > :11:24.swimming lesson. He is also charged with indecently assaulting another
:11:25. > :11:31.girl aged nine or ten years old, and of raping a third girl, who was 15
:11:32. > :11:34.or 16 at the time. She was in care here at a residential children's
:11:35. > :11:39.home. Christopher Metcalfe was teaching rural studies here. She
:11:40. > :11:43.says he took her back to his home and raped her in his front room,
:11:44. > :11:49.saying he would get her if she told anyone. Prosecuting Sarah Knight
:11:50. > :11:55.said Christopher Metcalfe took advantage of his position of trust
:11:56. > :11:59.and authority. She said the women had not colluded, they don't know
:12:00. > :12:03.each other, and their complaints are quite separate, she said, and she
:12:04. > :12:08.described them as courageous. Christopher Metcalfe, seen here at
:12:09. > :12:11.an earlier court appearance, denies five separate sex offences. The
:12:12. > :12:16.trial is due to last around two weeks.
:12:17. > :12:19.Still to come: All the day's sport, plus Lucy is standing
:12:20. > :12:31.And the growing problem of litter along our roads and motorways. How
:12:32. > :12:32.one problem tonight is concluding a three-day campaign to pick up the
:12:33. > :12:38.rubbish. An estimated 600,000 people
:12:39. > :12:40.in the UK have epilepsy, and two Leicestershire teenagers
:12:41. > :12:45.have created a device which could make a huge
:12:46. > :12:48.difference to their lives. The pair have won a national award
:12:49. > :12:51.for creating a vest which alerts the wearer before they're
:12:52. > :12:56.about to suffer a seizure. And it's now getting interest
:12:57. > :12:59.from firms who want to put Navtej Johal has been
:13:00. > :13:15.to meet the students. A potential, wearable life-saver.
:13:16. > :13:18.These two may be just 16 years old, but their invention could be a huge
:13:19. > :13:23.leap forward in helping people with epilepsy. How does this work? It
:13:24. > :13:30.uses two different types of sensors. You have body sensor damages and
:13:31. > :13:36.heart rate sensors. The great thing about it is it can predict an
:13:37. > :13:40.epileptic attack if you met in advance so people can get
:13:41. > :13:46.comfortable or medicate themselves. I saw someone have an epileptic fit
:13:47. > :13:51.and this drove me to research ways in which epileptic people are helped
:13:52. > :13:59.across the country. Last week, the pair won the Big Bang young engineer
:14:00. > :14:06.UK award, and now there are investors wanting to put the vest
:14:07. > :14:11.into production. Needless to say their parents are proud. They are
:14:12. > :14:15.ecstatic. They are over the moon, they can't stop talking about it.
:14:16. > :14:20.When might we see this being used by people with epilepsy? It is a slow
:14:21. > :14:24.process getting things into manufacture, but we are looking at a
:14:25. > :14:27.year or two before it reaches the market, but I think it will
:14:28. > :14:32.definitely be there. This is great for us because it means we can get
:14:33. > :14:36.involved with making it a reality as fast as possible. The charity, the
:14:37. > :14:40.epilepsy Society, says the invention could be a game changer will stop
:14:41. > :14:45.what is different about this technology is that it seems to have
:14:46. > :14:50.the ability to predict a seizure up to eight minutes before, and that is
:14:51. > :14:54.quite new. If that could go into production, I think people with
:14:55. > :14:58.epilepsy would really welcome that. But, before they potentially go on
:14:59. > :15:02.to save lives and improve the world, these 216-year-olds have the small
:15:03. > :15:07.matter of their GCSEs to tackle first.
:15:08. > :15:09.Almost ?1 million has been awarded to Nottingham
:15:10. > :15:15.The Government cash will be spent installing more than 30 charging
:15:16. > :15:19.points around the city for private hire taxis and hackney cabs.
:15:20. > :15:25.The city council's already said it wants to see local taxis replaced
:15:26. > :15:32.It already owns the UK's largest fleet of electric buses.
:15:33. > :15:35.The owners of a Derbyshire static caravan site have been warned
:15:36. > :15:37.they could face jail if they continue to cut
:15:38. > :15:41.Amber Valley Borough Council says it's served an injunction
:15:42. > :15:44.on Haytop Country Park in Whatstandwell after tree felling
:15:45. > :15:48.took place last week, despite tree preservation orders.
:15:49. > :15:50.Last month, owners Countrywide Park Homes evicted dozens
:15:51. > :15:53.of people living at the site, claiming safety concerns.
:15:54. > :16:02.The firm won't comment on the injunction.
:16:03. > :16:04.For the first time in the East Midlands a local authority
:16:05. > :16:08.is giving people access to a library building without any staff on duty.
:16:09. > :16:10.A trial is beginning at Syston library in Leicestershire.
:16:11. > :16:13.It could be a way to save money, but what about people
:16:14. > :16:16.And will staff lose their jobs as a result?
:16:17. > :16:43.I just need to swipe my card and put in the code. I am in, but what about
:16:44. > :16:46.security problems without any staff here? We have done a range of
:16:47. > :16:50.security assessments and we have briefed customers who have two
:16:51. > :16:54.register before they can access it, and we have given them information
:16:55. > :17:00.about what they should do if anything did happen within the
:17:01. > :17:03.library. Down the line, there will be staff losses, won't they? It is
:17:04. > :17:09.too early to say, we want to look at what this pilot does for us, and...
:17:10. > :17:12.But that is the future library staff will lose their jobs because they
:17:13. > :17:17.will all become self access libraries. What we will have to do
:17:18. > :17:22.is to look at the case for this to see whether the numbers stack up and
:17:23. > :17:26.whether we can make a saving. Yes, if this were to be rolled out, we
:17:27. > :17:30.would be looking at staff savings. They say council staff will monitor
:17:31. > :17:37.security cameras in the three-month trial, which adds extra opening
:17:38. > :17:43.hours each week. It is a great idea. I like to speak to hear when we come
:17:44. > :17:48.here, that is nice, but I understand the limitations of that. A little
:17:49. > :17:51.bit nervous about the security. Barbara and Keith has signed up to
:17:52. > :17:55.the scheme. Both give it a cautious welcome. It is better doing this
:17:56. > :17:59.than closing the library. What will we do if the library is closed?
:18:00. > :18:04.Probably go to one further, but not everyone has a car. It does concern
:18:05. > :18:08.me if you are a woman in here on your own. You probably would be a
:18:09. > :18:14.little apprehensive. And possibly in the evening I would be apprehensive
:18:15. > :18:18.as well. The Unison union has concerns, including about potential
:18:19. > :18:22.staff cuts, but welcomes the longer opening times. If successful, the
:18:23. > :18:25.scheme could be used in 15 larger libraries across Leicestershire.
:18:26. > :18:28.For a third consecutive night tonight, part of the A38
:18:29. > :18:31.in Derbyshire will close to traffic to make way for a mass litter pick.
:18:32. > :18:33.It's being carried out by Amber Valley District Council
:18:34. > :18:36.to try to rid the busy trunk road of some of the rubbish
:18:37. > :18:39.which somehow finds its way onto miles of embankment
:18:40. > :18:55.But a bigger problem, surely, is how to tidy it up?
:18:56. > :19:03.Absolutely, that is right. As you say, I am near Alfreton just above
:19:04. > :19:06.the a 38. If our cameraman looks over the balustrade, you can see
:19:07. > :19:12.some of the litter along the side of the road. Earlier on today, we went
:19:13. > :19:17.and filmed along the road. These shots show a lay-by which is full of
:19:18. > :19:22.rubbish, even despite the signs saying a ?100 fine. Further along
:19:23. > :19:26.the road, you can see the amount of litter that is stuck in the bushes,
:19:27. > :19:33.which are really difficult to get out. The borough council has been
:19:34. > :19:38.doing a litter pick and with the now is Simon battering from the borough
:19:39. > :19:44.council. Hello. How many bags have you picked up so far? This is your
:19:45. > :19:49.third night. It is between 450 and 500 at the moment. Why do you need
:19:50. > :19:56.to do it question but that is bubbly a daft question. If you have got 500
:19:57. > :20:00.bags so far, you can imagine the volume of litter. It is unsightly
:20:01. > :20:03.for people who live in the borough and people who drive through. It
:20:04. > :20:09.looks appalling to leave it. Tonight is the third night, but it is
:20:10. > :20:13.dangerous, isn't it? It can be dangerous, we has to put in place
:20:14. > :20:17.lane closures and slow the traffic down, which is why we have to do it
:20:18. > :20:22.in the middle of the night as this is a major trunk road. Litter
:20:23. > :20:27.picking at night is not ideal and we have to use lights, but this is how
:20:28. > :20:30.we must keep on top of it. We'll be joining that litter pick tonight, so
:20:31. > :20:32.we will have more on this tonight in our late news at 10:25pm.
:20:33. > :20:37.Thank you. It is that time of the night when we
:20:38. > :20:45.cross over there. Thank you. First from me, news that
