some light relief in nottingham this afternoon.ths ago, care home residents were among the worst hit by the pandemic, according to today's report. here, there were multiple deaths and shortages of ppe and lack of medical support pushed staff to breaking point. it was horrendous. i think everybody was just panic stations. everybody�*sjob kind of quickly evolved from whatever they were doing, to helping out. staff were panicking. you know, some of them are very vulnerable themselves, they've got vulnerable families. it was difficult... it was extremely scary, just a huge... hugely emotionally and physically draining. failure to lockdown early enough and slow the spread of the virus heaped huge pressure on the nhs and its staff, like mark, who was working in a&e. what was it about the british government that meant they thought we were invincible to this thing? you know, it was infuriating seeing borisjohnson on tv early on saying, "oh, i shook hands with everyone." it was completely against all the guidance that was out at the time, a

teenagers have been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation into so called spiking incidents in nottingham the men, aged 18 and 19, remain in custody as police inquiries continue. the bbc understands the home secretary, priti patel, has agreed the law should be changed to give victims of domestic abuse more time to report a crime to the police. the current time limit of six months could be extended to two years in cases of alleged common assault involving domestic abuse. it's been revealed that the former labour mp frank field is terminally ill. the news came during a debate in the house of lords on a bill to legalise terminally ill adults seeking assistance to end their lives. lord field wasn't well enough to attend but urged other peers to back the bill in his absence. the green party of england and wales is calling for every household to be given £320 to help pay for high energy bills. at the start of their annual conference in birmingham, the party's new co—leaders said the plan could be paid for by a windfall tax on all landlords of private rented properties. eu leaders have threatene

but on this night out at a club in nottingham, second—year university student sarah buckle became sost going unconscious and coming back round and choking, and they could just tell immediately, wait, it's not that she's had too much to drink, something's really, really wrong. i have no memory of anything. i think my earliest memory will have been around 9am. my hand was throbbing and a bruise was starting to develop. posts on social media talk of similar incidents, and now a petition calling for compulsory searches at nightclubs has been signed by more than 130,000 people. and groups from more than 30 universities around the uk have joined a campaign calling for a boycott of nightclubs the problem of people having their drinks spiked in night—time venues has been reported for many years, but now there are new fears about the rise of injection spiking. however, only a small number of police forces across the uk say they've had reports of this happening. the home secretary, priti patel, has now asked police forces for an urgent update on this issue. and today, at the home affairs selec

two men have been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation into spiking incidents in nottingham.s' council. he says police are taking this type of crime seriously. importantly, it is about making the environment very hostile for those who believe they can commit the offence. so what we are certainly doing at the minute is working with licensed premises, working with universities and wider partnerships to firstly make sure more of us are alert within those environments to stop such offences taking place and ultimately making it more of a chance of catching those responsible. the other part ultimately for us is making sure if people do believe they've been a victim of spiking or recent injection issues, then it is really important to report that to the police very, very quickly, and therefore hopefully secure additional evidence. 0ne offence is far too many, but the reality at the moment is these are occurring and have unfortunately been occurring for a length of time. the reality from policing them is probably the most heightened awareness and work we have done for a long time in

and jason lee, the footballer, who used to play for nottingham forest, who was the subject of that particulard, i think, over weeks, he said, "you know what? it lacked empathy cos you were talking about my hairstyle, you were talking about ethnicity. a lot of black people, notjust me, a lot of black people wore dreadlocks then and felt deeply offended by this mockery," and even last year said it would be really nice for david baddiel to reach out and say sorry. i'm happy to say sorry. no, but, i mean, i know you are cos you said it in public. i'm happy to say sorry to jason lee, or say sorry in whatever context you want. i mean, the problem is, to some extent, that the performative nature of public apology becomes eventually redundant. so, i'm happy to say sorry to jason lee. i'm happy to say sorry to anyone who was offended by it. i'm happy to make the crucial case that what we thought at the time was an impression, because we were impersonating many footballers on that show, was in fact part of a very bad racist tradition, and we didn't really think about that. and we didn't. .. we weren't

was the scene when football fan alan clark was on his way to a match on saturday from kirkby to nottinghamlised at the time and it came through your mind, i don't think we have got on the train, but, saying that, they only run every two hours. i'm sure they could put an extra couple of carriages on. as far as i'm looking at it, they're putting profit before safety. so, can the operators just add more cabbages? we would love to and these are some of the challenges that we continue to face. particularly on that line, it's been a real victim of its own success. it has some specific challenges around it not being possible tojust add more cabbages and we continue to work really hard with our industry partners to look at how we can improve the frequency on that. these concerns comes a time when many are worried about the rate of coronavirus infections. the rates in nottinghamshire - are still very high at the moment so with more of us out - and about and enjoy getting out to football matches, shopping and so on, j whenever we find ourselves i in crowded enclosed spaces — and certainly whenever w
