I'm Dominic Heale. getting married these | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
An inquest has heard that a Derbyshire woman was prescribed | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
ten times the correct dosage of a strong painkiller | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
27-year-old Kymberley Holden, who had multiple sclerosis, | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
had been to see her doctor to alleviate her pain. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
"She had a smile for everyone", that's how Kymberley Holden's dad | :00:28. | :00:40. | |
described his daughter today at the inquest into her sudden death | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Kymberley, a dispatch officer for East Midlands Ambulance Service, | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
from Codnor in Derbyshire, had been diagnosed with | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
multiple sclerosis almost a year before she died. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
Her father, Stephen, and boyfriend, Ian Dye, | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
described how the condition was so severe that she needed | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
a wheelchair after losing the use of her right leg. | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
They told the inquest that she had been feeling unwell in the days | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
Mr Dye told the court, in November 2014, he woke | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
in the middle of the night to find his girlfriend lying | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
Also today, we heard from Kymberley's nurse, | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
her consultant neurologist and a forensic toxicologist. | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
It was during their evidence that we learned about the strong | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
liquid painkiller OxyNorm, which the postmortem report says | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
The inquest heard that a prescription error had occurred | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
and that Kymberley had been prescribed ten times the dosage | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
In the hours before she died, Kymberley had taken three doses | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
of OxyNorm to cope with attacks of pain in her right leg. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
The post-mortom report gave the cause of death | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
as 'OxyNorm intoxication', the umbrella name for | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
the painkiller, and Devic's disease, an illness similar | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
Tomorrow, the inquest will hear from Kymberley's GP, | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
Major work to repair a railway bridge in Leicestershire | :02:01. | :02:12. | |
which collapsed causing travel chaos across the country | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
The bridge in Barrow upon Soar crumbled onto the Midland Mainline | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
It will fully re-open within a fortnight, | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
but there is more work to come, as Amy Harris reports. | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
Its collapse sparked a day of chaos for rail passengers last August, | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
but people living near this bridge continue to feel the impact. | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Repair work is still underway, disrupting life here in the small | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
It's been horrendous, really, to be honest, | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
because the impact on the flow of traffic through the village, | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
community events had to be cancelled. | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
Also the residents, they have had disruption daily, | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
access, and actually nightly, as well. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
The work here has included removing 200 tonnes of debris, | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
restoring the brick parapet walls and resurfacing the road. | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
While it will finally reopen to vehicles in under a fortnight, | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Engineers will return to complete the job later this year. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Network Rail broke the news to villagers at this | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
I suppose I saw that coming, you know? | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
The fact that they will be doing more work. | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
I'm surprised they haven't done it while it was closed now. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
I'll just be relieved to see it open to traffic. | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
Future work will take place on four Saturday nights. | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
So, for villagers here in Barrow, the disruption isn't over yet. | :03:37. | :03:46. | |
Earlier, I spoke to Rachel Lowe from Network Rail. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
I asked her why the bridge had taken so long to repair. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Obviously, the priority at first was to get the emergency work done | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
to make the bridge safe, both for the people who need to go | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
across it and live close to it, and also those | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
That work was carried out reasonably quickly and then what we have had | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
to do is compress a design process that normally takes around six | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
months into a much shorter time frame to make sure we got | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
a long-term fix that means we don't need to come back, | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
that means the bridge is safe for many, many years to come | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Four more sets of night working to do. | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
That is pretty annoying for the local people, isn't it? | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
That's only finishing off work, so it is just putting the stones | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
across the top of the bridge to stop people from being able to get | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
onto the tracks when we come underneath and electrify, | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
We will do that in the most considerate way possible, | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
but for us, the really good news is that the road is going to reopen | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
and that night-time work won't mean any road closures, | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
and pedestrians will still have access. | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
I'm sure people will be very pleased about that, | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
but they have put up with an awful lot because of the work | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
What about the subject of compensation for people whose | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
businesses have suffered and have had their lives disrupted? | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
Obviously, we are really sorry for the disruption this has caused. | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
We have managed it as best we possibly could. | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
Safety has been a priority, both for local residents | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
Where people feel they have been inconvenienced they can contact us | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
and any contact will be assessed in an individual way. | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
OK, Rachel Lowe from Network Rail, thank you. | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
The unemployment rate in the East Midlands | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
is at its lowest for more than a decade. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
Between November last year and January this year, | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
the number of people out of work dropped by more than 9,000, compared | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
Despite this, the number of people claiming Jobseekers Allowance | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
rose by almost 2,000, to more than 31,000. | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
New signs are to be installed to reinforce the weight restrictions | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
In May, the county council's planning to put up electronic | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
warnings before drivers reach Swarkestone Bridge reminding them | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
The bridge is 800 years old and Grade I listed. | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
Last year, one driver was fined ?700 after ignoring eight warning signs | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
and driving a 44-tonne lorry over it. | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
A team of Nottingham scientists is using forensic techniques | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
There has been a big rise in illegal waste removal operators dumping | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Now the Environment Agency is spending millions of pounds | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
Fly-tipping costs councils in our region around ?1.5 million | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
a year to clear up and depending on the type of waste, | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
Here at the Environment Agency labs in Nottingham, | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
they are using forensic science to identify if abandoned waste | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
We take a small portion of the sample, place | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
it on this instrument, which is an infrared... | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
This sample was taken from a canister abandoned in a warehouse. | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
The computer programme analyses the substance | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
The position of the peaks on this chromatogram tell us what atoms | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
are present in the substance and their intensities. | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
From the type of substance that you find you can characterise | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
the process that it comes from, and that might lead to where | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
And it's that chemical fingerprint that allows investigators | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
The Environment Agency estimates that waste crime diverts around | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
?1 billion a year from legitimate waste disposal businesses | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
and from the Treasury, and they have spent ?65 million | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
The Environment Agency has seen a rise in illegal waste | :07:41. | :07:49. | |
operators dumping material, but they say that forensic analysis | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
Now, were you or someone in your family ever in the Navy? | :07:53. | :08:03. | |
If so, an ex-service organisation in Leicester needs you because it's | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
The Senior Service Club needs a new generation of men and women | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
It's John Cassie's 91st birthday, and he's celebrating | :08:13. | :08:21. | |
His medals include the Legion d'Honneur for serving | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
on a minesweeper during the D-Day landings. | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
They say "Cheers, Cassie", and you have a rum, buy a rum. | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
But the club, on Loughborough Road in Leicester, has seen support | :08:37. | :08:46. | |
While it's mainly former Navy personnel, it's open | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
to all ex-forces and anyone who is interested | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
In 1976, I think there were over 400 members and they were | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
Now the service level is diminishing and you don't get | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
But we're open to anybody now - Army, the RAF, anybody can come down | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
With the club AGM coming up soon, the number of members | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
New recruits are needed now to keep them sailing on into the future. | :09:21. | :09:31. | |
That's your news, so it is goodbye from me, | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
but with your weather now, here's Lucy. | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
Could evening at the end of what has been a gorgeous day, also the | :09:40. | :09:49. | |
warmest day of the year. Lots of blue skies and blossoms being sent | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
in by our weather watchers. As we move into tomorrow, we will see a | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
shift to something that big cloudy. It will be cooler as well. | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
Temperatures reached a maximum of 16 Celsius tomorrow -- reached 16 | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
Celsius today, 11 will be the maximum tomorrow. We will see clear | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
spells for a time but it will turn increasingly cloudy, with the cloud | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
pushing up from the south-west. That could be a few patches of mist and | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
fog developing. It will be mild, a low of 7 degrees. Moving into | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
tomorrow, few bright intervals first thing, but turning increasingly | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
cloudy quite quickly as we move through the morning. There could be | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
the odd spot of light rain or drizzle. A maximum of 11 Celsius. It | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
will be that big greasy, as well. Into Friday and it is a cold start | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
of the day. Friday is where we see a shift to more unsettled weather. We | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
will see outbreaks of rained and rained picking up. A maximum of 10 | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
Celsius. It will feel more unsettled. I will leave you with the | :11:01. | :11:01. | |
Outlook. been. The outlook, rain around, if | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
it stays dry I will be surprised. Here is Nick with the national | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
headlines. | :11:07. | :11:11. |
