Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:16.

And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Sarah Teale.

:00:17.:00:18.

For years now, former footballer Alan Birchenall has campaigned

:00:19.:00:21.

for defibrillators to be installed at sports grounds.

:00:22.:00:23.

Last night his life was saved by one.

:00:24.:00:25.

The football legend and Leicester City ambassador

:00:26.:00:28.

collapsed at an awards event but he was saved by the emergency

:00:29.:00:31.

He is affectionately known as the Birch.

:00:32.:00:41.

Since the early 1970s, Alan Birchenall has been part of

:00:42.:00:44.

As well as being a former player, he is also known for

:00:45.:00:48.

While handing out awards at the Leicester

:00:49.:00:52.

Mercury sports event last night, Alan collapsed because of

:00:53.:00:58.

His life was saved by nurse Lisa Fereday.

:00:59.:01:01.

She was there because her daughter was nominated

:01:02.:01:03.

I started chest compressions and asked for the

:01:04.:01:08.

automated defibrillator to be brought to me as soon as possible.

:01:09.:01:10.

That was brought quickly to me and all the time, it

:01:11.:01:15.

is obviously important to continue effective chest compressions,

:01:16.:01:17.

When the automated defibrillator came, we attached it

:01:18.:01:31.

which was obviously pivotal in saving his life.

:01:32.:01:35.

After the fourth shock, he came round and was

:01:36.:01:48.

The first thing he said to me was, wow,

:01:49.:01:51.

This doctor has worked with Alan Birchenall at

:01:52.:01:54.

public events to promote the use of defibrillators.

:01:55.:01:56.

The very equipment which kept him alive.

:01:57.:02:00.

There were two things that saved his

:02:01.:02:05.

One was the immediate commencement of resuscitation,

:02:06.:02:12.

compression of the heart and the second thing

:02:13.:02:15.

was the defibrillator that was quickly available and the

:02:16.:02:20.

Is it fair to say he has been overwhelmed by messages

:02:21.:02:25.

I've warned him not to spend too much time trying to respond to them.

:02:26.:02:36.

He is overwhelmed and overjoyed at the support he has had.

:02:37.:02:41.

Leicester City have issued a statement thanking everyone who has

:02:42.:02:45.

helped a lot for the messages of support. He give a message on

:02:46.:02:51.

Facebook saying he hopes to have an operation tomorrow and be out of

:02:52.:02:55.

hospital in the next few days. To all his well-wishers, he said you

:02:56.:02:59.

know one of my favourite songs is Staying Alive. And we wish you a

:03:00.:03:04.

speedy recovery. Breaking news now,

:03:05.:03:05.

and in the last hour, the proposed takeover

:03:06.:03:07.

of the club has collapsed. A consortium led by American John

:03:08.:03:13.

Jay Moores had been in long negotiations to buy an 80 per cent

:03:14.:03:16.

stake in the club. But tonight, current

:03:17.:03:19.

owner Fawaz Al Hasawi said it was with regret

:03:20.:03:23.

and disappointment that In a statement he said, we feel such

:03:24.:03:25.

a deal as it stands is not in the interests of the long-term

:03:26.:03:30.

future of our club. A 16-year-old boy has been

:03:31.:03:33.

jailed for nine years for sexually assaulting two women

:03:34.:03:37.

in Nottingham last autumn. The youth attacked a woman

:03:38.:03:39.

in her twenties near the QMC Fifteen minutes later,

:03:40.:03:42.

he attempted to rape a woman The judge called the attacks

:03:43.:03:46.

violent and degrading. And said it was more shocking

:03:47.:03:52.

that they were carried out They've both been affected terribly,

:03:53.:03:54.

not wishing to leave the house alone, not wishing

:03:55.:04:02.

to go to work anymore. Both females feel extremely

:04:03.:04:04.

frightened and of course, this attack was in daylight, in the early

:04:05.:04:10.

hours of the morning, so they've both made the

:04:11.:04:14.

comment that it is not even as though it was

:04:15.:04:18.

Next tonight - an act of cruelty against a cat which the RSPCA has

:04:19.:04:24.

Just a warning - near the start, Geeta Pendse's report contains

:04:25.:04:34.

Enjoying attention from her owner, Patrick.

:04:35.:04:38.

But 24 hours ago, Millie was attacked outside

:04:39.:04:40.

Patrick's private CCTV camera captured the shocking moment when a

:04:41.:04:48.

My cat was just sat there, being friendly and

:04:49.:04:52.

I felt sick, I felt angry to think that

:04:53.:05:00.

somebody thinks they have the right to do that to a defenceless animal.

:05:01.:05:04.

Millie's suffered swelling to her jaw and is now being treated for a

:05:05.:05:07.

Determined to find out who carried out the attack,

:05:08.:05:11.

Patrick posted the footage onto Facebook and

:05:12.:05:13.

The RSPCA are now investigating and appealing for

:05:14.:05:19.

They say inflicting such an horrific attack on a

:05:20.:05:22.

defenceless cat is sickening and it is

:05:23.:05:23.

important we track down the

:05:24.:05:25.

One football result for you now, and defeat for Derby County,

:05:26.:05:33.

In ice hockey, it's a huge weekend for Nottingham Panthers.

:05:34.:05:40.

They are trying to make history as the first British club

:05:41.:05:43.

They played their first game today and won, as Colin Hazelden

:05:44.:05:47.

Well, we are well underway now in this Continental Cup Final weekend.

:05:48.:05:54.

These are the hometown sport fans, this noisy lot.

:05:55.:05:58.

Panthers playing their opening game of three this

:05:59.:06:01.

afternoon could not have gone better.

:06:02.:06:07.

Two goals from the captain carried them to victory

:06:08.:06:09.

Setting up a fantastic couple of days tomorrow and on Sunday.

:06:10.:06:13.

We played well today, particularly defensively.

:06:14.:06:19.

We played a strong game, but what we've achieved this

:06:20.:06:22.

afternoon, going into tomorrow, it will be all forgotten

:06:23.:06:24.

Yes, as David Clark says, there's plenty more still to go.

:06:25.:06:27.

Tomorrow at two o'clock your time, it's going to be quite an event.

:06:28.:06:33.

It certainly will be, and there'll be live commentary

:06:34.:06:35.

of that on the BBC Nottingham sport Facebook page.

:06:36.:06:37.

So, it's goodbye from me, but with your weather now, here's Sara.

:06:38.:06:46.

It was a wintry start to the day for some of us. Captured nicely by one

:06:47.:06:52.

of our weather watchers in Loughborough. We still have a view

:06:53.:06:59.

wintry showers deny and the weather warning is with regard to ice on

:07:00.:07:05.

untreated surfaces. The showers are coming down through the Cheshire

:07:06.:07:09.

gap, so they will be with us into the early hours. A few will produce

no for a time and it is a widespread frost and the bitterly cold night,

:07:16.:07:23.

-3 -4 in rural parts. A cold and frosty start tomorrow, fewer

:07:24.:07:29.

showers, a bright sky, winds light and highs five Celsius. This is the

:07:30.:07:31.

outlook, the weather follows. 5-6 is the best we will have. It

:07:32.:07:35.

stays cold into the beginning of next week as well

stop Good evening, a cold, icy night, but some others
