:00:16. > :00:17.An inquest has heard that a Derbyshire woman was prescribed
:00:18. > :00:20.ten times the correct dosage of a strong painkiller
:00:21. > :00:24.27-year-old Kymberley Holden, who had multiple sclerosis,
:00:25. > :00:27.had been to see her doctor to alleviate her pain.
:00:28. > :00:40."She had a smile for everyone", that's how Kymberley Holden's dad
:00:41. > :00:43.described his daughter today at the inquest into her sudden death
:00:44. > :00:46.Kymberley, a dispatch officer for East Midlands Ambulance Service,
:00:47. > :00:48.from Codnor in Derbyshire, had been diagnosed with
:00:49. > :00:53.multiple sclerosis almost a year before she died.
:00:54. > :00:55.Her father, Stephen, and boyfriend, Ian Dye,
:00:56. > :00:57.described how the condition was so severe that she needed
:00:58. > :01:04.a wheelchair after losing the use of her right leg.
:01:05. > :01:07.They told the inquest that she had been feeling unwell in the days
:01:08. > :01:11.Mr Dye told the court, in November 2014, he woke
:01:12. > :01:13.in the middle of the night to find his girlfriend lying
:01:14. > :01:18.Also today, we heard from Kymberley's nurse,
:01:19. > :01:21.her consultant neurologist and a forensic toxicologist.
:01:22. > :01:24.It was during their evidence that we learned about the strong
:01:25. > :01:28.liquid painkiller OxyNorm, which the postmortem report says
:01:29. > :01:33.The inquest heard that a prescription error had occurred
:01:34. > :01:36.and that Kymberley had been prescribed ten times the dosage
:01:37. > :01:42.In the hours before she died, Kymberley had taken three doses
:01:43. > :01:46.of OxyNorm to cope with attacks of pain in her right leg.
:01:47. > :01:48.The post-mortom report gave the cause of death
:01:49. > :01:52.as 'OxyNorm intoxication', the umbrella name for
:01:53. > :01:55.the painkiller, and Devic's disease, an illness similar
:01:56. > :02:00.Tomorrow, the inquest will hear from Kymberley's GP,
:02:01. > :02:12.Major work to repair a railway bridge in Leicestershire
:02:13. > :02:15.which collapsed causing travel chaos across the country
:02:16. > :02:20.The bridge in Barrow upon Soar crumbled onto the Midland Mainline
:02:21. > :02:24.It will fully re-open within a fortnight,
:02:25. > :02:29.but there is more work to come, as Amy Harris reports.
:02:30. > :02:33.Its collapse sparked a day of chaos for rail passengers last August,
:02:34. > :02:36.but people living near this bridge continue to feel the impact.
:02:37. > :02:42.Repair work is still underway, disrupting life here in the small
:02:43. > :02:48.It's been horrendous, really, to be honest,
:02:49. > :02:52.because the impact on the flow of traffic through the village,
:02:53. > :02:55.community events had to be cancelled.
:02:56. > :02:59.Also the residents, they have had disruption daily,
:03:00. > :03:02.access, and actually nightly, as well.
:03:03. > :03:05.The work here has included removing 200 tonnes of debris,
:03:06. > :03:09.restoring the brick parapet walls and resurfacing the road.
:03:10. > :03:13.While it will finally reopen to vehicles in under a fortnight,
:03:14. > :03:18.Engineers will return to complete the job later this year.
:03:19. > :03:21.Network Rail broke the news to villagers at this
:03:22. > :03:26.I suppose I saw that coming, you know?
:03:27. > :03:28.The fact that they will be doing more work.
:03:29. > :03:31.I'm surprised they haven't done it while it was closed now.
:03:32. > :03:34.I'll just be relieved to see it open to traffic.
:03:35. > :03:36.Future work will take place on four Saturday nights.
:03:37. > :03:46.So, for villagers here in Barrow, the disruption isn't over yet.
:03:47. > :03:49.Earlier, I spoke to Rachel Lowe from Network Rail.
:03:50. > :03:53.I asked her why the bridge had taken so long to repair.
:03:54. > :04:00.Obviously, the priority at first was to get the emergency work done
:04:01. > :04:03.to make the bridge safe, both for the people who need to go
:04:04. > :04:05.across it and live close to it, and also those
:04:06. > :04:09.That work was carried out reasonably quickly and then what we have had
:04:10. > :04:12.to do is compress a design process that normally takes around six
:04:13. > :04:15.months into a much shorter time frame to make sure we got
:04:16. > :04:18.a long-term fix that means we don't need to come back,
:04:19. > :04:21.that means the bridge is safe for many, many years to come
:04:22. > :04:25.Four more sets of night working to do.
:04:26. > :04:28.That is pretty annoying for the local people, isn't it?
:04:29. > :04:32.That's only finishing off work, so it is just putting the stones
:04:33. > :04:35.across the top of the bridge to stop people from being able to get
:04:36. > :04:37.onto the tracks when we come underneath and electrify,
:04:38. > :04:41.We will do that in the most considerate way possible,
:04:42. > :04:45.but for us, the really good news is that the road is going to reopen
:04:46. > :04:47.and that night-time work won't mean any road closures,
:04:48. > :04:49.and pedestrians will still have access.
:04:50. > :04:51.I'm sure people will be very pleased about that,
:04:52. > :04:54.but they have put up with an awful lot because of the work
:04:55. > :04:57.What about the subject of compensation for people whose
:04:58. > :04:59.businesses have suffered and have had their lives disrupted?
:05:00. > :05:02.Obviously, we are really sorry for the disruption this has caused.
:05:03. > :05:06.We have managed it as best we possibly could.
:05:07. > :05:08.Safety has been a priority, both for local residents
:05:09. > :05:11.Where people feel they have been inconvenienced they can contact us
:05:12. > :05:14.and any contact will be assessed in an individual way.
:05:15. > :05:20.OK, Rachel Lowe from Network Rail, thank you.
:05:21. > :05:22.The unemployment rate in the East Midlands
:05:23. > :05:26.is at its lowest for more than a decade.
:05:27. > :05:28.Between November last year and January this year,
:05:29. > :05:32.the number of people out of work dropped by more than 9,000, compared
:05:33. > :05:37.Despite this, the number of people claiming Jobseekers Allowance
:05:38. > :05:43.rose by almost 2,000, to more than 31,000.
:05:44. > :05:46.New signs are to be installed to reinforce the weight restrictions
:05:47. > :05:51.In May, the county council's planning to put up electronic
:05:52. > :05:55.warnings before drivers reach Swarkestone Bridge reminding them
:05:56. > :06:01.The bridge is 800 years old and Grade I listed.
:06:02. > :06:06.Last year, one driver was fined ?700 after ignoring eight warning signs
:06:07. > :06:10.and driving a 44-tonne lorry over it.
:06:11. > :06:14.A team of Nottingham scientists is using forensic techniques
:06:15. > :06:19.There has been a big rise in illegal waste removal operators dumping
:06:20. > :06:23.Now the Environment Agency is spending millions of pounds
:06:24. > :06:30.Fly-tipping costs councils in our region around ?1.5 million
:06:31. > :06:35.a year to clear up and depending on the type of waste,
:06:36. > :06:40.Here at the Environment Agency labs in Nottingham,
:06:41. > :06:45.they are using forensic science to identify if abandoned waste
:06:46. > :06:52.We take a small portion of the sample, place
:06:53. > :06:55.it on this instrument, which is an infrared...
:06:56. > :06:59.This sample was taken from a canister abandoned in a warehouse.
:07:00. > :07:01.The computer programme analyses the substance
:07:02. > :07:07.The position of the peaks on this chromatogram tell us what atoms
:07:08. > :07:14.are present in the substance and their intensities.
:07:15. > :07:17.From the type of substance that you find you can characterise
:07:18. > :07:19.the process that it comes from, and that might lead to where
:07:20. > :07:26.And it's that chemical fingerprint that allows investigators
:07:27. > :07:33.The Environment Agency estimates that waste crime diverts around
:07:34. > :07:38.?1 billion a year from legitimate waste disposal businesses
:07:39. > :07:40.and from the Treasury, and they have spent ?65 million
:07:41. > :07:49.The Environment Agency has seen a rise in illegal waste
:07:50. > :07:52.operators dumping material, but they say that forensic analysis

:08:04. > :08:07.If so, an ex-service organisation in Leicester needs you because it's
:08:08. > :08:12.The Senior Service Club needs a new generation of men and women
:08:13. > :08:21.It's John Cassie's 91st birthday, and he's celebrating
:08:22. > :08:27.His medals include the Legion d'Honneur for serving
:08:28. > :08:30.on a minesweeper during the D-Day landings.
:08:31. > :08:36.They say "Cheers, Cassie", and you have a rum, buy a rum.
:08:37. > :08:46.But the club, on Loughborough Road in Leicester, has seen support
:08:47. > :08:54.While it's mainly former Navy personnel, it's open
:08:55. > :08:56.to all ex-forces and anyone who is interested
:08:57. > :09:02.In 1976, I think there were over 400 members and they were
:09:03. > :09:08.Now the service level is diminishing and you don't get
:09:09. > :09:16.But we're open to anybody now - Army, the RAF, anybody can come down
:09:17. > :09:20.With the club AGM coming up soon, the number of members
:09:21. > :09:31.New recruits are needed now to keep them sailing on into the future.
:09:32. > :09:34.That's your news, so it is goodbye from me,
:09:35. > :09:39.but with your weather now, here's Lucy.
:09:40. > :09:49.Could evening at the end of what has been a gorgeous day, also the
:09:50. > :09:54.warmest day of the year. Lots of blue skies and blossoms being sent
:09:55. > :09:59.in by our weather watchers. As we move into tomorrow, we will see a
:10:00. > :10:03.shift to something that big cloudy. It will be cooler as well.
:10:04. > :10:11.Temperatures reached a maximum of 16 Celsius tomorrow -- reached 16
:10:12. > :10:15.Celsius today, 11 will be the maximum tomorrow. We will see clear
:10:16. > :10:20.spells for a time but it will turn increasingly cloudy, with the cloud
:10:21. > :10:26.pushing up from the south-west. That could be a few patches of mist and
:10:27. > :10:30.fog developing. It will be mild, a low of 7 degrees. Moving into
:10:31. > :10:35.tomorrow, few bright intervals first thing, but turning increasingly
:10:36. > :10:39.cloudy quite quickly as we move through the morning. There could be
:10:40. > :10:46.the odd spot of light rain or drizzle. A maximum of 11 Celsius. It
:10:47. > :10:50.will be that big greasy, as well. Into Friday and it is a cold start
:10:51. > :10:54.of the day. Friday is where we see a shift to more unsettled weather. We
:10:55. > :11:00.will see outbreaks of rained and rained picking up. A maximum of 10
:11:01. > :11:01.Celsius. It will feel more unsettled. I will leave you with the
:11:02. > :11:04.Outlook. been. The outlook, rain around, if
:11:05. > :11:06.it stays dry I will be surprised. Here is Nick with the national
