2 BURTON MAIL SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2021 @BurtonMailNews News By CALLUM PARKE callum.parke@reachplc.com CLIMATE protesters blocked off the two main goods entrances at the Amazon warehouse near East Midlands Airport yesterday. Around 20 activists from Extinction Rebellion created two bamboo structures and tents in the early hours of yesterday to coincide with Black Friday, one of the biggest days of the year in the retail calendar. Police were in attendance to divert lorries at the Segro Logistics Park East Midlands Gateway, where several companies including Very and DHL have large delivery warehouses. The protests were replicated at Amazon sites across the country, with the activists believing the company must make changes to become environmentally friendly. Ines, one of the protesters, said: “We know now, don’t we? Science tells you that the climate emergency is caused by over-consumption and it’s not only about the overuse of fossil fuels, it’s over-consumption in general, it’s the system by which we make the economy Protesters block Amazon warehouse on Black Friday work. Amazon is the absolute epitome of hyper-consumption and it’s forced on customers through tricks like Black Friday. “At the same time, we have just had Cop26, and we know where we are, so we have to do something to halt this rush towards extinction. “Everything has been tried, scientists have written papers, we have spoken to MPs, we have tried to do international conferences, and nothing has changed or at least very, very, very little has changed. “Those suffering are the people who can least live up to this, both the consequences of the climate emergency and the poverty that this type of economic One of the protesters who took part in yesterday’s incident near East Midlands Airport We buy any house!

Officers from Leicestershire Police were at the scene after being called in the early hours of the morning. In a statement, a spokesperson for the force said: “At 3.45am we received a report of a protest outside a warehouse in Wilders Way, Kegworth. Officers are currently in attendance, where more than 20 protesters are also present. “Police are facilitating the right to peaceful protest and no arrests have been made at this time.” Amazon, owned by one of the world’s richest men, Jeff Bezos, has over a dozen depots in the UK and is a household name. The company paid £492 million in direct taxes in the UK last year - just 0.37% of its total turnover. The company has slashed hundreds of prices on Black Friday, an annual event that sees thousands of offers in stores across the country ahead of the Christmas period. In a tweet, Extinction Rebellion Leicester said: “Extinction Rebellion are blocking Amazon depots today on the day now coined Black Friday - we need to stop over-consumption and buying so many excessively packaged items - our planet over profit.” The protesters received some abuse from passing drivers but others stopped to bring them hot food and drinks, with Storm Arwen set to bring winds of up to 65mph this weekend. Rajan, who was at the second blockade, said that the protest aimed to raise awareness of how consumerism was driving the conditions needed to fuel the climate We live in a climate and ecological emergency which is connected with our consumerism. Rajan Ines, one of the activists emergency. He said: “If you look 20 years, 30 years ago, we had very few objects in our homes, and we were happy then. Now we have all this, and we’re not happy. “We live in a climate and ecological emergency which is connected with our consumerism. We’re enjoying something at the expense of our children and our grandchildren. “We are creating a condition of climate change, which means that there’ll be extreme weather at some stage in this country, that will result in crop failure that will result in hunger and social breakdown at some stage within the next 20 to 30 years.” Amazon’s own data from 2020 showed that despite the pandemic, its carbon emissions rose by 19% year-over-year, reported BristolLive. The company’s operations emitted the equivalent of 60.64 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2020, compared to 51.17 million metric tons in 2019. In 2019 it pledged to become net-zero by 2040, but Extinction Rebellion activists say that there is “no evidence for how that will be achieved and the pledge does not include Amazon’s supply chain”. The protests come as the Government forges ahead with its plans to significantly curtail campaigners rights to demonstrate after months of disruption caused by the activist group Insulate Britain.

facebook.com/BurtonLiveNews SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2021 BURTON MAIL 3 By LUCY BAILEY editorial@burtonmail.co.uk The RSPCA’s Hillfield Animal Home in Stretton is hoping for a feline fairytale this Christmas - a new home for its longest-staying residents. Chesney, a 12-year-old British shorthair, was once admired at pedigree cat shows, but is believed to have been initially given up for adoption when he became too old to compete. Handed in to Cats Protection when he was about three, he was paired up with nine-year-old pedigree partner Crystal – also a British shorthair – and the pair have been inseparable ever since. They were adopted and lived a happy life for many years, before their owner had to go into a care home in July and they came to Hillfield Animal Home. Last month, staff thought they had found the duo a new forever home, but a family member subsequently became allergic to them and they were returned to the RSPCA, where they are finding the cattery environment for the third time in their lives very hard. Cyan Hulland, administration supervisor at Hillfield Animal Home, said: “Chesney and Crystal are quite the celebrities here. We adore every animal that comes to us, but these two have a very special place in our hearts due to their perfect nature and heartbreaking past. “Chesney was actually a show cat and we assume once he was too old they didn’t want him anymore. They then lived a wonderful life with their previous owner, who very sadly had to part with them when they went into care. We thought we had found their forever home last month, but unfortunately a family member was allergic to them and they came back. “They have never put a foot out of place, yet they have been in a cattery for rehoming three times in their life. I work with them every day and can honestly say that I get excited to see them every time I go in. “They are the softest cats I have ever met, there’s just not a nasty bone in their body. Every morning they greet us with their meows and purrs and you can see it in their eyes that they just want love and attention. Chesney adores a brush and Crystal is a cat-nip lover. “We are desperate to find them their final retirement home where they can get all the love they so desperately crave. We think they would be OK to live with other older cats, but dogs may be a little too much for Crystal as she can be a bit scared of new things. Children of all ages would be fine, as long as it is understood that both of these cats are older and will need time and space to relax and take things easy.” British shorthair cats have small and short airways and sometimes their eyes are sunken in a little. This isn’t so much the case for Crystal, but Chesney will need his eyes cleaned with cotton wool and warm Could you help to rehome Chesney and Crystal? rspca Feline duo hoping for Xmas fairytale INSEPARABLE PAIR SEEK FOREVER HOME water twice a day. He also has a suspected weakened colon, which is managed very simply with a laxative that is put on his food.

Charity race night in Stacey’s memory By JeNNy MOOdy jennifer.moody@reachplc.com @Jenny_moody85 A HEArTBrokEN mum has paid tribute to a “thoughtful and dedicated” children’s nurse who was her “best friend” as well as her daughter. Stacey Fusco, from Swadlincote, was just 30 when she died earlier this year, leaving all those who knew and loved her in shock. Miss Fusco was a nurse in the oncology department at Birmingham’s Children’s Hospital, a job that she loved and had worked in for seven years. Now her friends and family are set to hold a charity race night at The Foresters Arms in Swadlincote this weekend to raise money in her memory. Her devastated mum Sue Eley said: “She was my best friend. I saw her every day and we used to do a lot of things together. We’re a very close family all of us. “When she went, she took a part of me and I will never be the same again. We were very close. She was someone very special. “She’s a big loss in my life and a big part of me that’s been taken - it just seems so unfair. I will very forget her.” Mrs Eley said Stacey was passionate about her job at nursing seriously ill children. She said: “Stacey was very thoughtful and enjoyed a party. Stacey organised everything; if she went anywhere she had organised it. “She was also dedicated to her job as an oncology nurse and did She’s a big loss in my life and a big part of me that’s been taken. It seems so unfair. get emotional sometimes over it. “She worked hard to get where she was and people respected her for it. A lot of Stacey’s mum Sue Eley Vinnie, and Tina the westie. The full inquest into her death has yet to be held, but the opening heard she died from sertraline toxicity on April 20. Sertraline is an antidepressant. A charity race night will be held from 7.30pm tonight at The Foresters Arms in High Street, Swadlincote, to raise money for the ward that Miss Fusco worked on at the hospital. It will include five big screens showing pre-recorded races as well as a raffle. It is being held at The Foresters Arms as this is where Miss Fusco used to drink with her family. It will be attended by friends, family, colleagues and anyone else who wishes to attend to raise money for the good cause. Martin Bostock, who is known as “Boz” and has organised the event along with Lorraine Herbert, said: “She was absolutely lovely; such a nice person. “Stacey was an absolute angel in every sense of the word and we want to remember her by raising funds for her ward at Birmingham Children’s Hospital. “She was a well-known person in the area and her family as well.” Shoppers reminded to be kind this festive season towards staff CriMestoppers and retailers are urging shoppers across the West Midlands region to #shopKind when they visit local high streets this Christmas, as new national polling reveals that over one third of shoppers have witnessed violence and abuse against shopworkers. With at least two-thirds of Stacey Fusco worked in the oncology department at Birmingham Children’s Hospital the eVeNt will raise moNey for the hospital ward where NUrse worked people Stacey worked with said how dedicated she was. “She was lovely and would do anything for anyone. Family and friends came first. “But she also loved her westie dog Tina, who she treated like her child.” Miss Fusco, of Nelson Street, leaves behind her parents, twin brother Dean, older sister Jodie, older brother Gino, nieces and nephews Ethan, Ella and consumers flocking back to the high street, retailers, the Home office and charity Crimestoppers are reminding customers to be kind to shopworkers and fellow customers. the latest retail industry data suggests that 450 shopworkers are abused each day and it’s feared this may rise during the busy festive season. the #shopKind campaign urges the public to be mindful of shopworkers’ essential role serving the public, and emphasises that workers should be treated with respect, kindness and gratitude. over 86% of shoppers recognise that shopworkers face a much higher workload during the Christmas period, but there remains a minority of people that are aggressive and, in the worst cases, physically violent towards people working in shops. #shopKind is supported by major high street retailers as well as the nation’s independent shopkeepers and the shopworkers’ union Usdaw.

The concert, at the Rising Sun in Willington, was the idea of drummer Rich Smith, known through his work at Abbey Lane Studios in Derby, where he is the manager. Other acts performed at the pub earlier in the day in aid of the charity. Even though Rich had to draft in a substitute bassist and singer for the night, his band DE666 went down a storm, and £300 was collected in the charity bucket. Rich also took along a goodie bag of merchandise to raffle off at a later date, to hopefully add to the total. Rich’s partner Jenny Todd said: “He was really pleased with how it went.” Rising Sun landlord Neil Shackles hopes the band will return for a longer show in the near future. Families needing to get their Covid jabs ahead of the festive season are being invited to attend walk-in clinics across Staffordshire this weekend. They include one being held at the Pirelli Stadium in Burton tomorrow. It will run from 9am to 4.30pm, with a lunch break from 12.30pm to 1pm. The session is for people aged 18 and over requiring a first or second jab, those eligible for a booster, and those with a weakened immune system who need a third dose. Those calling in for a booster will need to bring a letter from their GP or a hospital doctor. The walk-in clinics come amid global concern over a new variant of Covid discovered in southern Africa. Dr Paddy Hannigan, clinical lead for the vaccination programme in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, said: “In the runup to Christmas – and what we know will be a challenging winter – we would encourage everyone who is eligible to get their Covid- 19 jab as soon as possible to protect themselves and those around them. “This is especially important as many people will be planning to meet up and mix indoors with friends and family over the festive period, which is the perfect environment for the virus to spread. “Getting your Covid-19 booster vaccine is the best way to keep yourself and your loved ones safe this winter and it will help to reduce the pressure on the NHS “Sadly, we are seeing a surge in cases in parts of Europe at the moment. The most important thing we can do to stop a similar rise in this country is to get the jab – so please get your vaccines as soon as you can so we can keep the virus at bay.” The walk-in clinics are intended for family groups only. Details for all Staffordshire Covid vaccination walk-in clinics can be found at https://www.twbstaffsandstoke.org.uk/coronavirus/how-to-get-a-vaccine-whereand-travelling. Appointments for vaccines can also be booked through the National Booking System by visiting www.nhs.uk, or by calling 119. money matters EQUITY RELEASE - Advice is essential COVID 19 has made us all realise how precious life is and the desire to make every day special. Having more money to spend can influence the options we have to enjoy our time to the full. For some years now Equity Release has been used by over 60’s to release capital from their home for a variety of important reasons: • Holiday of a lifetime • Debt repayment • Helping children with house deposit • Car / motorhome / caravan • Conservatory • Home improvements More people are living longer. In the UK the number of people aged over 60 plus is predicted to increase by 38% to 21 million by 2036. New-found confidence is appearing in the Equity Release sector as property values have seen a big jump in values over the past year, therefore there is more equity available to use. In years gone by, Equity Release schemes were often unregulated and individuals did not take advice from Independent Advisers. All advisers now have to achieve specific qualifications to be able to advise on Equity Release. Modern, regulated Lifetime Mortgages make it possible to tap into this wealth with no loss of home ownership and no monthly repayments required. You own your own property, are asset-rich and want instant, on-demand access to this wealth in a flexible, safe way without having to sell your property and move.

6 BURTON MAIL SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2021 @BurtonMailNews News Barber seeking clothes to send to the homeless Barber Matthew Baldwin is appealing for donations of clothing. Matthew Baldwin barber’s appeal for clothes to give to those in need By Jenny Moody jennifer.moody@reachplc.com @Jenny_moody85 A Burton barber is asking for old clothes as it looks to help those in need of extra support this Christmas. Matthew Baldwin, of Baldwin and Co, is launching Hoodies 4 Homeless to help keep those with nowhere to call home warm with some new clothes. It will officially launch on Wednesday, December 1, and it is not only hoodies he is after. Any clothing that is clean and washed is needed and it will then be handed to the YMCA in Burton just before Christmas to be distributed. Mr Baldwin has joined up with The Gym and Burton Albion Community Trust after discussing the idea, which means there are plenty of places to drop off any unwanted clothes. He said: “I came up with the idea and put it to people who I work with on other projects and they both liked it so we’re running with it “I think it’s going to be a popular thing as I’ve already started getting some stuff in and we’ve not launched it yet. I have spoken to the YMCA and they think it’s a good idea. “We’re after all clothing as long as it is freshly washed and clean. We’re after warm clothing as well such as hats, gloves and sleeping bags, stuff like that. “I want to do more for the community and talking to the staff at the Burton Albion Community Trust and they say how proud they are to be able to help the community and keep that going. “I want to do more and more with the community and I’ve got other projects lined up for the new year as I want to help work to make it a better community.” The campaign has also been sponsored by Shane Smith of Macro Physique, who has already donated old sportswear to the cause. There are options to where the donations can be dropped off. They can be handed to any of the barbers at Baldwin and Co, in Derby Street, the reception at the Burton Albion Community Trust, at Pirelli Stadium, or to a manager at The Gym Group, in Guild Street. Mr Baldwin added: “It’s the good time to do it as everyone gets new clothes for Christmas so the perfect time to make space for that or just for having a good clearout. If you’ve got anything that you don’t wear anymore, it’s a good opportunity to get rid of it and do a good thing at the same time.” The clothing will be donated to the YMCA in the week leading up to Christmas. Railway works at Christmas Passengers using the West Coast main line between London Euston and Crewe have been told they can rely on the railway to get home to loved ones this Christmas during railway improvement work. The route which passes through the West Midlands and Lichfield’s Trent Valley station will see work done over the festive bank holidays. This year major bank holiday upgrades will take place on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, when traditionally the railway shuts down for a festive face-lift. However, passengers are being given advance notice of upcoming essential work after the holiday season is over. Between January 4-12, major flood protection upgrades will improve future journeys on the West Coast main line between Milton Keynes and Rugby. The work will prevent heavy rain from flooding tracks, making the economically important rail route more reliable for passengers and freight. James Dean, Network Rail’s West Coast South route director, said: “We’ve worked hard with train operators to reduce the impact of our railway upgrade work on passengers so that they can spend time with their families and friends this Christmas and New Year. “We do have major work approaching in January which we’re letting people know about early on - so it doesn’t come as a surprise.” Visit www.nationalrail.co.uk

facebook.com/BurtonLiveNews SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2021 BURTON MAIL 7 Drop off essentials and a treat for Xmas appeal By TIM BRYANT timothy.bryant@reachplc.com SHOPPERS at a food retailer in Burton and South Derbyshire are being urged to support its Christmas food bank appeal. Last year’s appeal across Co-op stores saw more than 45,000 items collected and 22,000 meals created. Now, Central England Co-op bosses hope customers will be equally generous when its 2021 appeal launches on Wednesday, December 1. Items that can be donated include shopping basket staples from tea, sugar and cereals to other essentials such as toiletries and hygiene products to ensure people can maintain their dignity during times of crisis. Alongside essentials, some food banks are also encouraging shoppers to spread a little festive cheer by dropping off a Christmas treat such as chocolate at collection points. The Co-op in Stretton is among stores that will be accepting donations for the Christmas food bank appeal Central England Cooperative corporate responsibility manager Hannah Gallimore said: “I know our customers and members will give their backing to making sure our Christmas Food Bank Appeal can make a real difference to families struggling in these uncertain times. “Over the past few years, the appeal has sup- ported our food bank partners to create and provide thousands of meals to help people in need over the Christmas period and sadly this year that need has only grown as the impact of the pandemic and the cost of living crisis hits people across our communities. “We are also issuing a plea on behalf of food banks to help spread a little Christmas cheer by donating a nice treat into our special collection points. All we are asking is for people, if they can, to drop off one or more items into our food bank collection points this Christmas and help make a real difference in their community.” The appeal will run until December 31. The items will then be collected and made into food parcels. These contain around 11 items and will provide at least three days’ worth of meals for those in need. Among the food banks Central England Co-op support are South Derbyshire CVS and Burton Salvation Army.

By Jenny Moody jennifer.moody@reachplc.com @Jenny_moody85 A drug driver caught speeding through a South Derbyshire village tried to hide from police in a Christmas tree display. The bizarre incident happened when police carried out a routine traffic operation in Twyford Road at Barrow Upon Trent. They spotted the BMW speeding past them. Officers from the Mercia Police Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) searched for the driver after he accelerated when they tried to pull him over. He was eventually found hiding in a Christmas tree display at a garden centre near Swarkestone. He then tried to head towards some outbuildings and greenhouses but the police soon caught up with him. He was arrested and failed a drugs test, as well as not having valid insurance. The speed check was carried out on Tuesday, November 23, after residents raised concerns about drivers speeding through the village. A spokesman for the team, which is an arm of Derbyshire police, said: “A speeding driver who avoided stopping at a routine traffic operation in a South Derbyshire village has been arrested after he attempted to avoid detection by hiding in a Christmas tree display at a local garden centre. “Ten minutes into the operation, officers stopped a female motorist who was caught driving at 55mph in the 40mph zone. She was reported for a traffic offence. “Very soon afterwards, your SNT observed a silver BMW driving beyond the speed limit. Officers signalled the driver to pull into the check site area, but with disappointment the male continued instead, accelerating from the scene. Police immediately began a search for the BMW. An eagleeyed officer spotted the driver at a local garden centre, close to the village of Swarkestone. “The man was seen trying to secrete himself in a Christmas tree display. On seeing officers, the male headed towards several outbuildings and greenhouses. “Another officer caught up with the male and he was detained. A preliminary drug wipe test was conducted, which the male failed, and he was subsequently arrested and taken to custody. “The BMW was also seized after it became clear that the driver did not have valid insurance.” The team thanked the visitors and staff at the garden centre for their patience. Cutting falls will help the NHS this winter Help prevent falls to support the NHS this winter is the message from The Royal College of Emergency Medicine (RCEM). The college has warned of a “crisis of patient safety” as they released figures from a recent survey, indicating that nearly two-thirds of casualty departments had ambulances queuing to transfer patients every day. With this heightened demand on the NHS, The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) calls on the public and businesses across the UK to assist with helping lessen the burden on our health care service. Every year more than a third of people over the age of 65 have a fall that requires hospital treatment. RoSPA believe that by educating and empowering people of all ages, transforming each of them into a “Fall Fighter”, individuals can then help family and others in their communities from falls in the home.

By HANNAH RIcHARdsON hannah.richardson@reachplc.com @HRichardsonLDR Leicestershire county council has announced the return of face masks in schools after the government recognised its “different position” to the rest of the country – with infections now “as bad as they have ever been”. the council has said face masks would now be required in all communal areas in secondary schools across its patch. the measure is expected to stay in place until at least next term and will require pupils to wear masks in corridors, lunch queues, stairwells and on school buses. Mike sandys, director of public health at the county council, said the government’s Department for education said there was a need for extra precautions as covid-19 infection rates are now higher than they have ever been in the county. “if you look at the population as a whole, the Leicestershire average is as high as it’s ever been,” he said. “in fact, it’s never been as high as it is. it’s around 560 plus cases per 100,000. “in schools we’ve seen that creep up. so, i think, in the 11 to 16 population, it’s twice that. so, it’s over 1,000 cases per 100,000. “What’s twitched me in the last week is i don’t know which way things are going to go, but i’m not quite certain we’re at the peak yet and we are getting more cases spreading up from children into the older age groups. “But, there’s only so far we can go in terms of restrictions. if we’d have written and asked pupils to wear face coverings this time a couple of months ago, we wouldn’t have been allowed because it wasn’t one of the things the Department for education said Mike Sandys we could do. But, nationally, i think they’ve realised we’re in a bit of a different position with the risk of covid now, so they’ve said we can do that now.” Mr sandys added he does not think the reintroduction of face masks alone will be enough to curb the high rates. he said: “it needs to be part of a package, which includes getting children to wear them in communal areas, but at the same time there’s everything else, whether you’re a child or an adult, you need to be doing as well. “that is get vaccinated and maybe just go back to thinking about the behaviour we were doing over the summer in terms of mask wearing and social distancing that we’ve eased off doing because we all think it’s gone away when in actuality it hasn’t. “so, as a single measure, it’s not going to turn that super-tanker around, but in combination with everything else obviously it helps us in driving rates down.” Jane Moore, director of children and family services at the county council, said: “things were really difficult last term, we were seeing the number of infections in children going up but then there’s the obvious knock-on impact on members of staff as well. iMpact oN staffiNg “One of the main considerations in schools is that if a teacher has to selfisolate or if they’re poorly, they can’t work from home, we need teaching staff in school. “schools are doing really well in terms of managing this, but it i s havi n g an impact on staffing and our worry is what’s coming with covid mixed with winter flu could have quite a significant impact. so the measures around face masks is about putting additional measures in that could add support. “i think any measures that enable children to be in education are important. coupled with that is, yes the impact [of the virus] on children is lower, other than them missing education, but actually the impact on the people they live with, they’ll associate with, the teaching staff, that’s the bit we need to consider around infections in children. “We have written to parents and carers as well and one of the key messages we have been giving out to them is around how they can also support the schools. “it could be things like supporting their children in wearing masks, thinking about what children are doing out of school, thinking about what they’re doing at the schools gates as well and just generally being supportive around the measures teachers are having to put in.” Ms Moore added that they have 82 schools they are supporting with extra measures at various stages of the council’s Outbreak Management Plan. the plan has four stages. the first stage kicks in when a school has five linked cases or 10 per cent of a school tests positive in the last 10 days. the fourth stage is initiated when there are 50-plus cases or 30 per cent of a school is positive. Mr sandys added: “Basically there are cases and a significant number of them across the board. every district, primary and secondary schools is being battered by covid cases. “so from the point of view of going ‘why aren’t you just concentrating on the schools with outbreaks, why are we doing this universally’, well it’s just across the board at the moment.”

The airline group has suffered a turbulent 12 months on the back of fluctuating travel restrictions across europe, which caused the business to cut flight numbers heavily as holidaymakers stayed in the UK. Bosses will be looking to reassure investors on Tuesday that plans to ramp up flights will go ahead.

Hotel arson inquiry A fire which reduced one of the best-known restaurants in the north of england to “ashes” is being treated as arson. The thatched, 14th-century Star inn at Harome, a Michelin-starred restaurant near Helmsley, North Yorkshire, was devastated by a blaze which started on Wednesday evening. More than 40 firefighters tackled the fire and specialist investigators were called in to carry out inquiries on Thursday.

Middle Ground Growers have already spent £210,000 to purchase grassland in Bath but need to raise a further £95,000 to complete their farm. Co-founder Hamish evans said the group hopes the campaign will inspire a cultural change in farming and the UK’s relationship with food. “it’s a really beautiful, meaningful livelihood that stemmed from a kind of ecological grief,” the 23-year-old told the Pa news agency. “our farm is about connecting people back to the land, as part of the local food movement. it is about creating different cultural norms through different eating habits and a lifestyle that minimises the impact on the environment.” Middle Ground Growers is made up of: Mr evans; Xavier Hamon, 35; olivia rhodes, 31 and sammy elmore, 28 and a host of volunteers. Money raised will go towards helping the group complete their 16-acre site at Weston spring Farm. Donors are also offered the chance to name an orchard tree as an environmentally conscious gift this Christmas. ‘Possible’ Covid variant is in UK already – expert Dr Susan Hopkins It Is possible that a new worrying variant of coronavirus is already in the UK though current signs are reassuring, an expert at the Health security Agency (UKHsA) has said. Dr susan Hopkins, chief medical adviser of the UKHsA, said scientists are very concerned about the new variant found in south Africa, Botswana, Hong Kong and Israel, though no cases have been detected in the UK. transport secretary Grant shapps said the UK was “buying time” by adding south Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, Zimbabwe and Namibia to its travel red list, adding that the Government was taking a “safety-first approach”. Passengers arriving into the UK from these countries from 4am on sunday will be required to book and pay for a Governmentapproved hotel quarantine for 10 days. scientists around the globe are worried about the “horrific” number of mutations on the virus spike protein in the variant, which they fear could make it highly transmissible, more deadly and make vaccines less effective. Dr Hopkins told BBC Radio 4’s today programme that the variant had around “30 different mutations that seem relevant - that’s double what we had in Delta (variant)”. she added: “If we look at those mutations, there’s mutations that increase infectivity, mutations that evade the immune response both from vaccines and from natural immunity, mutations that cause increased transmissibility. It’s a highly complex mutation, there’s also new ones that we have never seen before.” she said the variant was the “most worrying” seen by scientists but much was as yet unknown. Asked if it was possible the variant was already in the UK, she said: “Well, it’s always possible. We have no cases identified whatsoever yet, nothing in our genome sequencing... so overall, I think the situation is reassuring in-country, but of course, people are arriving every day.” Asked on ItV’s Good Morning Britain how likely it was the variant would come to the UK, Dr Hopkins said: “I think the measures that we take on borders are there to delay, to slow, to allow us to have time to gain more information.” she added: “the fact this virus is resurging on a very immune population (in south Africa) is worrying. “Clearly vaccines will help, because they will boost the antibody responses and the t cell responses in our body, which will help us fight variants, so global vaccination is a key component of that. “But also we need to watch and wait and see as these new variants emerge. And I think this shows that we may need new vaccines in the future.” she said flu vaccines change every year and suggested the idea of having new vaccines for coronavirus was not surprising. Mr shapps said the Government acted as soon as the UK’s chief medical officers came to ministers following their meeting at around 4pm on thursday. He told the today programme: “I think all the history of coronavirus suggests that it is best to act quickly, determine the extent of the way that the virus interacts with vaccines, treatments, transmissibility and then give yourself a bit more time. “It is inevitable, of course, that it will go all around the world if it is going to do so. “so this doesn’t prevent it from coming here, but it slows things up and gives us the chance to grow the cultures and test those questions about vaccines and treatments against it.”

facebook.com/BurtonLiveNews People walk through the looted streets of Chinatown in Honiara, Solomon Islands SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2021 BURTON MAIL 13 News / World Islands ravaged by violence Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare has blamed foreign interference over his government’s decision to switch alliances from Taiwan to Beijing for anti-government protests, arson and looting that have ravaged the capital Honiara in recent days. But critics also blamed the unrest on complaints of a lack of government services and accountability, corruption and foreign workers taking locals job. Mr Sogavare angered many in 2019 when he cut the country’s diplomatic ties with Taiwan. A plane carrying Australian police and diplomats arrived late on Thursday in Honiara, where they will help local police efforts to restore order after a second day of violent anti-government protests, Australia’s defence minister Peter Dutton said. Czech PM delayed as coronavirus rate soars Coronavirus infections in the Czech Republic have jumped to a record high, a surge that has affected the country’s president and delayed the appointment of the new prime minister. The Health Ministry said the daily tally of new cases was 27,717 on Thursday. That is almost 2,000 more than the previous record, set on Tuesday. The country’s infection rate has risen to a new high of 1,231 new cases per 100,000 people over the past seven days. Meanwhile, Czech President Milos Zeman is set to be discharged from Prague’s military hospital today. Yesterday he was discharged following more than a month’s treatment for an unspecified illness, but was readmitted only hours later after testing positive for Covid-19. The president received monoclonal antibodies and has no symptoms of Covid-19, the hospital said. Mr Zeman, 77, had been taken to the hospital on October 10, a day after the election for the lower house of parliament, to be treated in an intensive care unit. His condition was attributed to an unspecified chronic disease. The presidential office said that following his discharge the president will swear in Petr Fiala, the leader of a coalition that won the election, as the country’s new prime minister. The ceremony had been due to take place yesterday. “It’s in the interest of everyone to have a new government soon,” Fiala said. The office said the ceremony would be organised in line with current coronavirus measures but the details were not known. Those who test positive must isolate. The new record surge was reported a day after the Czech government declared a 30-day state of emergency and imposed additional coronavirus restrictions in its effort to tackle the pandemic. Among the other measures that took effect yesterday, all Christmas markets were banned, along with drinking alcohol in public places. Bars, restaurants, night clubs, discos and casinos have to close at 10pm. Milos Zeman The number of people at culture and sports events will be limited to 1,000 - and they have to be vaccinated or have recovered from Covid-19 - while all other public gatherings can be attended by up to 100 visitors, down from 1,000. The nation of 10.7 million has registered 32,643 deaths. The Czech Republic has also banned entry to foreigners who have spent more than 12 hours in the past two weeks in South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mozambique and Zambia in reaction to the new coronavirus variant, the Foreign Ministry said on Friday. The exceptions include EU nationals and long-term Czech residents.

Since its launch in mid-September, we have already sold 78 ginger puddings and other diners have made generous donations.” In addition to providing temporary home for homeless families, The Gingerbread Centre supports them in a range of ways, including food parcels. By FAITH PRING faith.pring@reachplc.com A mUm has told how she and her best friend traded in their careers in nursing to launch their own beauty business. Cassie middleton, 33, from Hatton, was part-way through her nursing degree when the Covid-19 pandemic struck. The mother of two decided that the stress of having both her children out of school during lockdown and trying to complete a degree was too much. So she dropped out of her degree and decided to launch her own business - Unique Scentsations. She said: “I started the company on 1 July 2020 and I was doing my nursing degree and then Covid hit, and the kids were off school and it was just stressful and I couldn’t cope with it. “I decided to put it on hold and to start my own business. I’ve done networking in the past and knew that I would have loved to have a business in that industry. “We started off just bath bombs and wax, and then in November, we launched our rep programme so the reps promote the products for us and they get a commission. “We were so busy at Christmas that my best friend Alyssa came over after work to help me with painting and packing, anything we could do to get the orders out.” Unique Scentsations specialises in bath bombs and other beauty products, including bath melts and wax melts. Upon seeing the success of the business, Alyssa Simpson, 34, from Hilton, decided to buy into her best friend’s company and also left her job as a nurse. Both women, who have known each other for more than a decade, decided to make the business their Covid hit, the kids were off school and it was just stressful and I couldn’t cope with it. Cassie Middleton full-time jobs, and have seen great levels of success. Cassie added: “I think Alyssa secretly quite liked the work because it was so different from a busy hospital ward. “We discussed about her coming on board and in January she bought into the business and left her nursing job to work full-time for the business. “We moved into Alyssa’s garage in December, and it’s just got busier and busier. We’ve got a massive range of bath products and skincare products, soaps, and we’re now looking for somewhere to extend into further for the business.” In the run-up to Christmas, Cassie expects the next month to be busy. But she says that the pair now know how to cope with the busier times and balance the workload with their families. And given their success, Cassie currently has no plans to return to her nursing career. “Obviously with Christmas we’re working super flat-out, but that’s what you do for your own business,” she said. “We make everything ourselves, we don’t buy anything, everything is hand-made. “I definitely wouldn’t go back to nursing. I do look now and the girls are just finishing their three years, so if I stuck by it, I would have just finished. “But I think it’s such an uncertain time for the NHS and I loved the complete change in direction.” BLACKFRIDAYSALE toshoplocal&save UPTO 80% OFF FASHION UPTO 70% OFF TOYS& GAMING UPTO 60% OFF HOMEWARE GetanEXTRA10% OFFsaleitems!

16 BURTON MAIL SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2021 @BurtonMailNews News By NIgeL SLATeR Local democracy reporter nigel.slater@reachplc.com POLICE officers in Derbyshire are under new orders from the chief constable to help ensure women feel safer following the death of Sarah Everard and other recent tragedies. Lone male officers have been asked to try to make their interactions with women and girls as reassuring as possible, with the onus on them to do this, rather than the woman or girl they are dealing with feeling like they need to ask. The range of measures include proving their identity, via speaking with the Derbyshire police control room, when engaging with women in a public place while on duty. Officers must also use bodyworn video cameras, when available, during interactions and seek assistance from colleagues before making a direct approach to a lone woman. The new measures were intro- New rules for police officers before they speak to lone women it is for reassurance after sarah everard tragedy duced by Derbyshire police Chief Constable Rachel Swann following former police officer Wayne Couzens being handed a lifetime prison sentence for the murder of Ms Everard in March. As was widely reported earlier this year, the then Metropolitan officer Couzens used his warrant card and handcuffs to kidnap Ms Everard as she walked home in south London, before raping and murdering her. News of Ms Everard’s death triggered a public outcry with many women expressing personal stories of feeling scared and unsafe when out alone. Now, new measures taken by Derbyshire police were revealed during a Public Assurance Meeting hosted by Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Angelique Foster, who quizzed Derbyshire’s police top bosses over the issue of violence against women. Derbyshire police is not the only force to be launching these instructions to police officers. Police say the measures will be managed on a case by case basis. This means, for instance, that if a woman was seen committing a crime then the measures may need not apply, depending on the situation and risk to the public. The virtual Public Assurance Meeting was recently published on the Police and Crime Commissioner’s website after inviting the public to submit questions to Derbyshire police’s Chief Constable. One of the questions centred on women’s safety when being approached by a police officer. It was asked: “The police need to engage in an awareness campaign in Derbyshire to educate girls/ women on what circumstances they can be detained on if they were approached by a single male policeman (eg Wayne Couzens) – if women were educated on this, lives could be saved. What is the police doing to address this?” Deputy Chief Constable Kate Meynell said: “The Chief Constable has made it very clear that the onus is on the police service to ensure women and girls feel safe. The police service is obliged to ensure members of the public are fully informed as to the reasons why police powers are being exercised. This should not be a responsibility forced upon women and girls. “The Chief Constable has introduced additional measures to support this, which include the use of body-worn video during interactions, seeking assistance from colleagues prior to approaching lone females and confirming their identity and location via the force control room. “A workstream has also been commissioned, which is led by a senior officer this will examine all opportunities to ensure women and girls feel safe from harm.” County’s force standing against male violence by backing White Ribbon Day Derbyshire Constabulary is supporting initiatives against male violence. White ribbon Day and the following 16 Days of Action is a global movement to end male violence against women and girls. The force says it will be supporting the message with its ongoing controlling and coercive behaviour campaign, and will be highlighting signs of this kind of behaviour and signposting where people can get help. Chief Constable rachel swann said: “As a female leader, i am keen to play a key role in setting the example for our male colleagues and take a stand for women and girls. “i know that many men, both in Derbyshire police and in the wider community, actively support White ribbon Day and it is fantastic to see our male officers regularly showing their commitment to ending male violence. “in my role as the National Chief Constable Rachel Swann Police Chiefs Council’s lead for gender, i am all too aware of the national conversations happening around policing and that there is work to do to rebuild trust with women and girls. “We are listening to that conversation and we have taken action as a result – for example, we are working with our partners on a county-wide violence against women and girls strategy. “We are building upon work already in place, strengthening relationships with licensed premises, increasing officers in locations where offences are known to happen and working closely with key partners on a range of funded initiatives to make public places safer, especially at night. “There is more to do, but i hope that supporting White ribbon Day shows one small part of the work we are doing to make sure women and girls in our communities have confidence in us and feel safe to go about their daily lives.” The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner is running a survey to identify what makes women and girls feel unsafe in Derbyshire, where their fear of crime is greatest and what would make them feel safer. And the force says it wants as many men as possible to think carefully and make the White ribbon Promise to never commit, excuse or remain silent about male violence against women.

They’re to give you inspiration, but I like to leave this column “lying around” in unobtrusive places. Next to the milk in the fridge or Sellotaped to the toothpaste. Because I don’t suggest gifts lightly. They’re gifts I’d like people to buy me. I’ve met the creator of this first gift idea, Victoria Fitzgerald, who was enthused to develop it because she once ordered a cocktail and it was missing the naughty, but moreishly nice, salty rim on the glass. “If you are going to make a cocktail, for goodness sake do it well,” she told me. And so The Salty Rim Company was born. There’s a selection of salty or sweet “dips” in craftily designed tins to give the edge of your cocktail glass a finishing “brim trim”. It’s such a simple but fun way to bring a touch of expertise to a homemade cocktail. New for Christmas is a limited edition festive Santa Baby red and white cocktail rim sugar (the cocktail pictured above is a Cosmo). Others include Classic Margarita Cocktail Salt; Citrus Cocktail Salt; Chilli & Lime Cocktail Salt and a Bloody Mary Brim Trim & Mix. They’re £9.99 a tin, from thesaltyrim.co.uk. Talking of cocktails, the LAIBA Gift Set (RRP £59, online at laibabeverages.com, pictured) is an awardwinning range of bottled cocktails created by worldrenowned mixologist Michael Chen. The gift set includes eight luxury bottled cocktails, including Twisted Negroni with gin, Campari, Cinzano and Cocchi Amaro (yes please, says my note in the fridge!!) and Cold Brew Martini with vodka, coffee, black rum and salted caramel. You can’t go wrong with a gin, and for a bit of fun why not buy one in a light-up phone box. Find the delicious blue gin, London No.1 Gin in its stand-out gift box livery at Selfridges (£42.99). And you can never have enough glasses, in my humble opinion. My favourite selection is online at The Vintage List. There’s a range of handmade cut glasses, inspired by 19th and early 20th century English designs. Prices vary, but my random note next to the toothpaste says nonchalantly “a set of six champagne saucers with a gold rim design”. They would be £72. Happy gift hunting. ■ Jane is a member of the Circle of Wine Writers. Find her on social media and online as One Foot in the Grapes. DAME Mary Berry has worked in the food industry for more than five decades and is always keen to keep learning. The 86-year-old’s new TV series and accompanying cookbook, Love To Cook, sees her get to grips with preserved lemons and white miso, and she’s intent on bringing home cooks along with her. “I enjoy so much the teaching side,” says the Bath-born food writer and presenter, adding that, “Every recipe is achievable. It’s not too many ingredients, and they’re the sort of recipes that your family will go through.” Trained at Le Cordon Bleu and with aeons of experience to back her up, when you speak to her, Mary can’t help but share tips and tricks for making the most of your food – whether you buy it or grow it yourself. Here’s a handful of her best hacks... Grow your own lemons – and prune that lemon tree Mary has a lemon tree she “cherishes” – but she does have an edge: “I look round at other people who have lemon trees and they don’t prune it. I snip away at it in the summer in the growing season. “It’s a lovely shape and very dense now, wonderful green. I feed it and it’s in a very sunny spot.” It’s going into the greenhouse wrapped up for winter, but she says “the other thing you have to do is to pick the fruit. If you leave all the fruit on it, it doesn’t bother to turn the flowers into fruit.” Sow potatoes in big buckets In the new series, Mary meets a celebrated allotmenter, Terry, who taught her a few things about growing potatoes. “He grew potatoes, as I do, in big plastic bins,” she explains. “I said, ‘I’m waiting for the flowers on my potatoes’. He said, ‘You don’t want to do that, you want to put your hand down the side and see whether there’s any’. “So he put his hand down the side of his potatoes, no flowers on them, and up came little tiny potatoes and it was beautiful.” Multiply your supermarket basil Mary gets through a lot of basil in her kitchen – and she doesn’t Nordic seed aNd Nut loaf (900g loaf) INGRedIeNTS: Butter or oil, for greasing; 4 large eggs; 3tbsp olive oil; 50g soft dried dates, finely chopped; 5g sea salt; 75g pumpkin seeds; 75g sunflower seeds; 150g pecan nuts, finely chopped; 50g sesame seeds; 3tbsp chia seeds keep it in the fridge, because it likes to be warm. “If you don’t want to sow seeds, you can buy a pot in your supermarket and then nip out the tops, divide them up and spread them out in the garden,” she recommends. “They’ll grow well, or spread them out on the windowsill, so you’ve got more plants.” Make fresh herbs last longer Mary grows her own tarragon, sage, basil and rosemary, and is adept at keeping them fresh. “I put my herbs in a jug or a jam MeTHOd: 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/Gas 4. Grease the base and sides of a 900g loaf tin and line with non-stick baking paper. 2. Break the eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork until combined. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well using a wooden spoon. 3. Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for 45-50 doyenne of the Kitchen, Mary Berry has more tips and recipes to share expert tips from the Berry best Mary Berry is back with a new series and cookbook, Love To Cook. Ella WalkEr gets some top advice jar and slip a poly bag over the top and keep them in the fridge,” she explains. “They’ll keep very well. Parsley, whether you grow flatleaf or ordinary parsley, it doesn’t matter, they’re a very similar flavour – they will keep well if you’ve put the stalks in water.” Keep your roasting tin sparkling Washing up as she goes is classic Mary Berry, but if you’ve got a pan that really won’t shine, she has a back up plan. “If you have a really burnt dish that you’ve been roasting in, put a minutes, until golden brown and firm in the centre. 4. Leave to cool in the tin for five minutes, then loosen the edges with a palette knife, remove from the tin and place on a wire rack to cool completely. 5. Slice into thin slices to serve. Berry’s tips: Can be made up to a day before. Freezes well. Buy a pot (of basil) in your supermarket and then nip out the tops, divide them up and spread them out in the garden. They’ll grow well, or spread them out on the windowsill, so you’ve got more plants dishwasher tablet in it and pour boiling water on it and leave it overnight. You’ll be amazed how easily it comes off.” Why cauliflower is a bargain Love To Cook goes big on vegetables, and Mary is a particular fan of cauliflower: “A cauliflower to me is such a good buy. You can roast it, cut thick slices from it, you can fry it, and any of the bits that fall off round the outside, you can stir-fry.” How to cut waste Fully aware of the need to reduce kitchen waste, Mary makes “compost from everything that’s not cooked”, she says, and she’s also a big fan of using re-usable plastic boxes that have often had something else in. “I then wash them and use them again. I use beeswax paper for wrapping, it clings to itself and you can use it again.” On getting the right level of heat Everyone knows what spice level suits them. “My young (family) like chillies so that they jump when they eat them,” says Mary. “In the recipes, I always suggest a small amount. And if you want to add more, do. And spices – I love spices, I love curries. But I think you have to temper them to your family.” ■ Love To Cook by Mary Berry is published by BBC Books, priced £26.

To make the marinade, measure all the ingredients into a dish and mix well. 2. Trim any sinew from the fillet and discard. Sit the fillet in the marinade, season with salt and black pepper and turn to coat until all the fillet is covered. Leave to marinate for a few hours in the fridge. 3. Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/Gas 7 and line a small roasting tin with non-stick baking paper. 4. Remove the fillet from the marinade (reserving the marinade to use later) and sit it in the roasting tin. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. 5. Remove the fillet from the roasting tin and set aside on a board to rest. Cover with foil and leave for five minutes before carving. 6. Place the reserved marinade in a small saucepan and place over a medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. 7. Carve the pork into slices and arrange on a platter. Pour the hot marinade over the top and scatter with the spring onions, red chilli and coriander. Serve with rice or noodles. Berry’s tips: Can be marinated up to eight hours ahead. If serving cold can be roasted up to four hours ahead. Freezes well raw in the marinade. lemon and lime meringue tranch pie (Serves 8-10) Ingredients: Shortcrust pastry: 150g plain flour; 90g butter, cubed; 2tbsp icing sugar; 1 egg For the filling: 30g cornflour; finely grated zest and juice of 1 large lemon; finely grated zest and juice of 1 large lime; 50g caster sugar; 3 egg yolks For the meringue topping: 3 egg whites; 175g caster sugar; a 12 x 36 x 2.5cm rectangular loose-bottomed fluted or tranche tin. Method: 1. For the pastry: Whizz the flour, butter and sugar in a food processor until they resemble fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg and whiz again until the dough forms a ball. Turn out on to a lightly floured surface and roll thinly. Line the tin and press the pastry into the sides. Prick the base with a fork and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. 2. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/Gas 6 and place a baking tray in the oven to get very hot. 3. Line the pastry case with non-stick baking paper, add baking beans, place on the hot baking tray and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the beans and paper and bake for another five minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and lightly golden. Leave to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 150°C/130°C fan/Gas 2. 4. For the filling: In a pan whisk together the cornflour and 200ml water. Add the zest and juice of the lemon and lime and place over a medium heat. Continue to whisk until the mixture has boiled and thickened. Remove from the heat, add the sugar and egg yolks and whisk again. Pour into the pastry case and chill in the fridge. 5. For the meringue topping: Whisk the egg whites until stiff. Add the sugar a little at a time, whisking on full speed, until you have a shiny, glossy meringue. Spoon into a piping bag with a plain 1.5cm nozzle and pipe even blobs over the surface of the chilled custard in a neat pattern. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use two dessert spoons. 6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until pale golden on top and firm to touch. Leave to cool for 15 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm with pouring cream. Berry’s tips: Can be made up to eight hours ahead and reheated gently to serve. Not for freezing. Do not serve the pie hot, as the filling may be a bit soft and will spill out of the pastry case.

Lynne Feeney, via email Unfortunately, natural sandstone – and A other stone types – can have impurities in it. What you are probably seeing is the natural iron content of the stone seeping out.

34 BURTON MAIL SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2021 @BurtonMailNews TV Highlights Whoever did this really had to be a Beatles fan... HIS name may be synonymous with Lord Of The Rings, but film-maker Peter Jackson has found himself tackling an altogether different project with new documentary series The Beatles: Get Back. Born in New Zealand – a world away from the height of the UK’s Beatlemania in the 1960s – the 60-year-old Oscar-winning director’s love of the Liverpool band began with a handful of pocket money and the purchase of the Red and Blue compilation albums. In 2017, Apple Corps – the company charged with managing The Beatles’ creative and business interests – approached Peter and asked whether he’d consider making use of previously unseen footage from their vaults. Now, the three-part Disney+ docuseries delves into the making of the Beatles album Let It Be. Peter explains more... What made you the right director for this prestigious project? I think whoever did this needed to The Beatles, pictured in the recording studio, in part of the new docuseries britain by beach Tonight, Channel 4, 8pm Anita Rani finishes her trip around Britain’s beaches by exploring Yorkshire and Northumberland. She begins in Whitby, which brings back childhood memories for the presenter, but she also learns more about the real shipwreck that inspired a key scene in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. From there, Anita goes on to Scarborough to find out why it has a claim to be the oldest seaside resort in the world, before heading to Lindisfarne to hear about the Viking raid that began a new age in Britain. Finally, she shares a tale of With his highly anticipated documentary series The Beatles: Get Back ready to go, film-maker Peter Jackson tells Danielle De WolFe all about it be a Beatles fan because you’re dealing with so much material – 130, 140, 150 hours of audio. The sound tapes were just rolling virtually all the time. Film stock was more expensive than the audio, so the sound recorders would roll the quarter-inch tapes but the cameras were just turned on and off every now and again. So whoever did it really did need to be a Beatles fan to actually be able to understand and decipher some of the references that they make in the conversations. Trawling through previously unreleased tapes must have proved exciting? You’re eavesdropping on these conversations from 1969, which is effectively how I felt all the time TV PICKS OF THE WEEK smugglers in Robin Hood’s Bay. Doctor Who: Flux Tomorrow, BBC1, 6.25pm It’s the penultimate episode of the all-too-short run, and the forces of evil are gathering, so no wonder it seems as if the odds are stacked against the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Dan (John Bishop). It’s not just the villains who are over the last four years working on this. The audio is weird. The story is often told in the audio recordings, so I do feel like I’m eavesdropping in some sort of CIAtype way on conversations [from] 52 years ago. The Beatles: Get Back is more than just ‘the making of Let It Be’, isn’t it? It’s the story of the making of the album Let It Be, but it’s actually technically not because they also do a lot of other songs that aren’t on Let It Be. Twelve of the tracks are off the Abbey Road album – there’s 17 tracks on Abbey Road, which was released in September ‘69. Plus there’s probably eight or 10 of their solo album tracks. Is it strange to think the Beatles went into the studio with next to no plan? Criticising the Beatles is not in my DNA. But if I had a criticism of the Beatles, looking at the footage, it does strike me as being very strange how little organisation there seems to be... Part of the story of Get Back was they were aiming to do this live TV show – not the rooftop one, it’s something completely different. So this is not really a recording. Until they get to the performance, assembling, as this episode has a pretty impressive cast, with Kevin McNally, Robert Bathurst and Barbara Flynn joining the regulars, along with Rochenda Sandall and Craig Parkinson, who were both previously seen in a very different Sunday night BBC drama, Line of Duty. along For the riDe With DaviD o’Doherty Monday, Channel 4, 10pm For the second episode in his freewheeling series, comedian David O’Doherty is getting on his bike with Grayson Perry. As well as being an artist and TV presenter, Grayson is also a former mountain-bike racer, so he should be in his element as they head to the wilds of the Brecon Beacons, where there are stunning views – and challenging hills. During the trip, they bond by chatting about the artist’s career and childhood. But is there a chance they’ve bonded a little too much when they have to tackle a gruelling five mile climb while nursing hangovers? Who Do you think you are? Tuesday, BBC1, 9pm Former shadow Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson, whose latest project is a three-part docuseries about the Fab Four Ed Balls looks into his family history chancellor Ed Balls grew up in a family that wanted to make the world a better place, and sets out to find out what kind of people his ancestors were. First up, he looks into rumours of a link to Nelson’s ship HMS Victory. Initially, it looks like Ed will uncover a heroic tale, but the grim reality isn’t quite what he was hoping for.

facebook.com/BurtonLiveNews SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2021 BURTON MAIL 35 Paul meets Great Dane Tammy they’re not recording, just rehearsing. What was the biggest revelation for you? They have this wonderful running battle with Michael Lindsay-Hogg, the [Let It Be] director. Michael is determined to try to capture as much candid material as he can. Instead of saying, ‘Look Michael, if we’re gonna be recorded on film, tell us when you’re doing that and we’ll do our thing but we don’t want you to film or record us any other time’, they obviously didn’t say that. And what John [Lennon] and George [Harrison] used to do is, if they were in conversation, they would turn their amps up loud. They’d strum the guitar – they’d just be strumming, not playing anything, no tune – so all Michael’s microphones were recording was this loud guitar. And you’d see the Beatles talking, having some private chat. So they were sort of in this running battle. Were you able to unpick the audio? What we’ve been able to do with computer technology and artifi- week. His first canine companion is a Great Dane, a gentle giant who simply wants to be loved. That’s more than can be said for a pair of Lakeland terriers who can’t live with or without each other – they spend their whole lives bickering, and it’s up to Paul to cial intelligence-based technology is we’ve been able to strip the guitars off now and expose the private conversations that they had. So a lot of our movie features private conversations that they tried to disguise. Did you speak with Michael before entering the edit suite? I’ve been talking to [Michael] all the time and he’s been telling me stories of his post-production, of the Beatles coming to the cutting room and directing certain things. Paul [McCartney] would come in one day and say, ‘Ah, can you put this in or take that out?’ The next day John would come in and give completely different instructions. Poor Michael is there trying to make everybody happy. Michael wasn’t allowed to show George leaving. They said, ‘No, absolutely not. We’re not gonna have that in the film’. So, I was thinking, ‘How much of this am I gonna get?’ ‘cause the Beatles are famously in control of their image, in control of how they come across. Were you ever concerned about the feedback you’d receive from the surviving band members? I get the feeling there’s no concern about their image any more. When they got to see the finished thing, I was expecting notes. And it wouldn’t have surprised teach them some manners. Luxury Christmas for Less Thursday, Channel 4, 8pm Christmas was cancelled for many last year, so you may be crying out for a luxurious yuletide blowout. But with money tighter than ever and shortages predicted on the high street, it won’t be easy. Thankfully, Sabrina Grant and Sophie Morgan are on hand with tricks to get top quality goods for bargain prices. The first of two episodes includes a guide to buying real diamonds at half the price and where to get this year’s finest tasting smoked salmon and Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison during the band’s iconic gig on the rooftop of Apple Corp headquarters in Savile Row, London, on January 30, 1969 Sir Paul McCartney and his daughter Mary at a VIP screening of The Beatles: Get Back me, and it wouldn’t have made me angry. It would’ve just been normal to get a note saying, ‘Oh, that bit where I say that, could you cut that out?’ I didn’t get a single note. And I was surprised. Not one note. Not one request to do anything. What was the most interesting discovery you made? Well, I’m not a musician and I can’t play an instrument to save myself, but I was fascinated learning about the song-writing process through the Beatles’ eyes. There’s this really fascinating process with Get Back where they have ‘Jo-Jo who lives in Arizona’, but they want Jo to have a surname. They talk about Jo Jackson, Jo Martin, Jo who lives in Arizona. Then they get rid of the surname, but they add Tucson, Arizona. So they have to have the number of words, but while they’ve got a surname, they can’t have Tucson. Even me, without any musical knowledge, thinks, ‘Oh, that actually does flow a lot better’. Is Tucson in Arizona? Yeah, that’s where [the Western] High Chaparral’s shot. So every time I hear Tucson, Arizona, now, I’m gonna think of The High Chaparral, which I used to watch in 1969 as a kid. ■ All three parts of The Beatles: Get Back are on Disney+ now Christmas pudding. And finally, there’s a look at what you get with cheaper gin. the Graham NortoN show Friday, BBC1, regions vary The headliners are undoubtedly Tom Holland and Zendaya, who are keen to whip up interest in their new film, Spider-man: No Way Home.

By STeve NIchOLSON stephen.nicholson@reachplc.com • Sponsored by: Derby County manager Wayne rooney has offered an insight into how he motivates his players to keep going despite the off-field issues this season has brought. The rams have taken four points against the two Championship front runners since returning from the last international break. Sunday’s comeback 3-2 win over bournemouth showed their ability to break through the toughest defence in the division, while Wednesday’s stalemate at Fulham showed the other side of their game, to blunt the league’s free scorers. reflecting on those results and the environment off-the-field they have been achieved in, rooney revealed he remains relentless in sticking to the non-negotiables he places on the players. “This team has to represent me. I put big demands on those players and I don’t care if they’re 16 or if they’re 39, I put big demands on them to work and fight. There’s no excuse for not working hard,” he told the bbC’s Football Daily podcast. “If you win the game, great. If you don’t, what you don’t want is me, first of all, being on you but the fans being on you for not working. That’s something I can truly say, these players give everything, every game. “I think it’d be a miracle if we do it (stay up) this season, but we’ll keep pushing and give it a go.” Age is not a factor for rooney in his team selections, illustrated most recently by the breakthrough of Liam Thompson into the first team. The 20-year-old midfielder played the full 90 minutes in both matches last week and is the latest academy graduate to make the jump this season, in part due to the squad sanctions. “What it does is it tests you as a person, as a character. It tests myself and my staff to develop some of these players. “I’ve lost track of how many debuts I’ve given to young players! “Watching them develop on a daily basis when they come and train with us and then earn the chance to play because we need them because, where our squad is, Good result - but Roos wants more DeRby County goalkeeper Kelle Roos has reiterated manager Wayne Rooney’s message that the Rams must “start believing” they can take three points against top teams this season. Roos and his Rams defence kept a first clean sheet since the goalkeeper returned to the side in place of Ryan Allsop a month ago in Wednesday’s 0-0 draw with Championship leaders Fulham. After the midweek round of fixtures, Derby are back on a positive points total of one, 16 points adrift of Reading in 21st place. While acknowledging it was a No excuse for not giving all, says Rooney good result based on their performance on the night, the 29-year-old was not satisfied with taking “only a point”. “I think last week was a very good result and this game we had to dig in a lot, sometimes more than last week, but at the same time it was a very hard-fought point,” Roos told RamsTV. “I’m very happy to step off the pitch with a point. “We all chipped in. Curtis (Davies) did a couple of times, (Nathan) byrne did a couple of times, Phil Jagielka did. “It was vitally important that when you go to places like this you Football is a game which you should enjoy because it’s what we all did when we were kids. Wayne Rooney stick together, you work, you talk to each other and when you do that, you help each other and get some luck now and again. “I know that no matter what happens that I have got two warriors in front of me that will challenge for every ball. “As a player, as a coach and a fan, all you can ask is for players to give 100% and risking it all to keep clean sheets and fight for points. Those two definitely do that. “It’s a big clean sheet, but at the same time, it’s only a point. “Like the gaffer said a couple of times, we came here for three we need some of those young players to come in and be ready. “It’s a big challenge but I think myself and the staff are dealing well with it. “I tell them just enjoy it! Football is a game which you should enjoy because it’s what we all did when we because we need to start believing that we can take points off very good teams. “I think we have to settle for a point and it’s a good result for us. “you have players coming off the bench and putting their bodies about. We have got a lot of players ready to play. “Little Tommo again was absolutely outstanding in what he does and the courage he plays with and I think there is even better things to come from him. “I think we can look back at a positive game here, move on and take the point to the next one.”

facebook.com/BurtonLiveNews SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2021 BURTON MAIL 45 Sport were kids, we all wanted to be professional football players, and when you’re a kid you go out on the street, you play your Sunday game or whatever, for enjoyment. “So what changes? you get paid for doing the job you love, so if enjoy it, you’ll perform better.” Kelle Roos Derby County showed their willingness to battle hard in the goalless draw away to Fulham in midweek. How players rate through difficult start to season Derby County’s position in the Championship table and their points tally is not a true reflection of how the team has fared this season. The rams remain bottom after having 21 points deducted in total and are in real danger of relegation to League One. Chief football writer Steve Nicholson gives player ratings for those players who have made four or more starts this season. ■Kelle ■ Roos 6.5 First-choice keeper at the start of the season until a red card in the defeat by Sheffield United at bramall Lane opened the door for ryan Allsop. However, a bout of illness ruled out Allsop after a run of four starts and roos returned. He has had a steady start to the campaign and it is a good battle between him and Allsop. ■Ryan ■ Allsop 6.5 The summer signing looked shaky at times in starts against Salford City and Sheffield United in the Carabao Cup, but he looked assured in his four League starts when he stepped in for roos. He was at fault for Luton Town’s late equaliser in the 2-2 draw at Pride Park Stadium. ■Nathan ■ Byrne 6 His form has been up and down and he has picked up too many yellow cards. His red card for two bookable offences against Millwall meant he missed the win against bournemouth. ■Phil ■ Jagielka 7.5 It is easy to see why Wayne rooney was so keen to sign his former everton and england team-mate. Jagielka’s experience, defensive knowhow and reading of the game have been clear to see. The 39-year-old and his 35-year-old centre-back partner Curtis Davies have been key cogs in the team. ■Curtis ■ Davies 7.5 He has formed a key centre-back pairing with Jagielka. Davies has been ever-present in the League, displaying a desire to defend the box as well as experience in helping others around him. ■Richard ■ Stearman 6 Jagielka’s arrival has seen Stearman drop to the bench, but he has been a reliable figure in his four League starts. ■Craig ■ Forsyth 6 The left-back was displayng real consistency in his peformances and headed the only goal of the game in Max Bird the home victory over reading, but illness forced him to miss three games and he struggled when he returned. ■Lee ■ Buchanan 6 A mixed bag of performances from the 20-year-old left-back, which is not unusual for a young defender. Pushing forward to supplement attacks remains the stronger part of his game and he will be missed in his current injury layoff. ■Max ■ Bird 7.5 A strong candidate for Derby’s player of the season so far. The midfielder is looking more assured, more confident physically and mentally. He has always been comfortable in possession but he has added more purpose to his passing, especially forward and between the lines. Wayne rooney has bags of faith in the 21-year-old and the player is repaying that faith. ■Graeme ■ Shinnie 7 The Scot has been a key figure offering tenacity and drive in midfield, as well as quality. The work ethic and resilience of the Derby team has been a major plus and Shinnie has been one of the leaders with his tireless endeavour. rooney has described Shinnie as a “big player” for Derby. ■Jason ■ Knight 6 Missed the start of the season having picked up an injury in pre-season. He had to play catch-up with his fitness but is beginning to find a groove. He can fill a number of roles, although that can go against him at times, and his energy and purpose are a plus. Can he now add more assists and goals to his game? ■Louie ■ Sibley 5.5 The 20-year-old started the season in the team but is more often out of the starting 11 recently. His goal and performance in the Carabao Cup tie against Sheffield United showed the impact he can have as an attacking midfielder but finding that consistency and nailing down a position has not happened in the last couple of months. ■Ravel ■ Morrison 6 His ability on the ball, his confidence in possession and his vision in looking to make things happen are all clear to see. Can he add more assists and goals to his game? He certainly possesses the talent. There are times when he operates too deep, although rooney said Morrison has been asked to play different roles depending on each game. ■Kamil ■ Jozwiak 4 The Poland international winger has struggled to make an impact. There have been flashes of his ability, but not enough consistency in his performances. Fans enjoyed his hard-working, lively display in the draw with Luton Town but he was replaced early in the next two. At 23, he is still a young player with time on his side. ■Tom ■ Lawrence 6.5 The skipper has shown character and maturity in the way he has filled a number of positions for the team, including that as a false number nine. He looks to have taken confidence from being handed the captain’s armband and appears to be relishing the responsibility. ■Sam ■ Baldock 6 He has had a stop-start time since joining the rams as a free agent. The striker suffered a broken nose against Preston North end and has a niggling hamstring problem. His longest run of starts is five. ■Colin ■ Kazim-Richards 5.5 The striker suffered an Achilles injury in only the second League game of the season and was out for two months. He has been feeling his way back, understandably, and we know he can offer a focal point to Derby’s attack. ■Festy ■ Ebosele 6 The 19-year-old has played at right-back for much of his time with the rams but rooney sees the youngster playing higher up the pitch, where his pace and power can give opponents problems. He is raw and is learning the game. Mabbott leads way at double SNOOKER TuTBury A had a good 5-3 away win against SDSC B in the Newton Fallowell Premier Division of the Burton & District Snooker League. Dave Mabbott took both frames against Graham Bailey and Steve Hathaway knocked in a 34 break in beating ryan Turner to give Tutbury more breathing space over the bottom places. Belmont B went down at home to a solid Ivanhoe A side. Jordan Watts and Matt Newbold both failed to register against James Hasties and Daniel Blunn. Paul Eaton did take one off Ivanhoe’s Ant Moore but that gave Ivanhoe the win and the bonus point. Paul Bradford saved some face for Belmont with both against Veejay Patel. In an early fight towards the top of PJM Fascias Division One, Woodville A edged out rolleston A 5-3. Andy Jenkins took the first against Tom Bassett with some good long potting but a 30 break put Bassett in charge of the second. Jenkins fought back to force a black ball game which Bassett fluked to get a draw. Trevor Heath took both off rich Odell before Steve Gaunt and James Wilkinson drew after Gaunt lost the first when he potted the white off the last ball. The second frame was also close but Gaunt made amends. Tony Clements and rob Tubey also drew but Heath’s win had been decisive. Ivanhoe B thrashed rolleston D 8-0, the highlight being Gaz Dolman’s 48 break against Gary Green. Graham Measures, Nathan Blood and Darren Wilson also took both frames in their games. In Nicholas Humphreys Division Two, Ivanhoe E are back on top after beting Tutbury B 5-3. Jacob Moore and Jakub Krajewski had doubles. Colin Bell hit back with two for Tutbury but Dave Marriott secured the decisive frame as he drew with Jeff Siddals.

By Colston Crawford colston.crawford@reachplc.com JIMMY Floyd Hasselbaink wants to see his Burton Albion players replicate the mentality as much as the performance that they showed in beating Accrington Stanley 4-0 on Tuesday night. The Brewers go into another game against an out-of-form side, Doncaster Rovers, today at the Pirelli Stadium looking to build on a first win in five League One matches. Doncaster have taken only one point away from home this season and are suffering a hangover from a poor second half to last season, when they slid down the table from a promotion-challenging position after manager Darren Moore left to join Sheffield Wednesday. Former Swindon Town and Salford City boss Richie Wellens was appointed in May but has so far struggled to make an impact and Rovers are only a point ahead of bottom side Crewe Alexandra. “We don’t want to give any team anything, whatever their record,” said Hasselbaink. “We want any team to have to work really hard to get anything from us. And we need to work really hard from second one to make sure there is nothing to get for them – we have to earn that. “We don’t want to wait and react, we want to be proactive and make it really difficult for them. “It was a good performance (against Accrington) and, obviously, a good bit of weight off a few people’s shoulders but it’s about being level-headed as quickly as possible – can we replicate the performance and bring the good things into the next match? “We’re always looking for consistency and to see good things returning in our football, in our idtentity and how we play. That’s what we’ve been thinking about the last two or three days. “We have to be on our game again. We may do it a little bit differently but we have to show the same intensity and hunger.” It pleased the manager that his team kept going after Accrington at 4-0 up, even though they were unable to add to it after the fourth goal came in the 50th minute. He likened the attitude to Manchester City’s approach. “If you look at Manchester City, they keep on going,” he said. “If you remember them playing Burton in the Carabao Cup, they were six or seven up and they kept on going. “Then, when they came here, they were winning 9-0 on aggregate but they kept on going. “They did not care about the opposition, they only cared about themselves, to be professional and do it right, to keep on feeling good. “That’s the mentality that we need to have. You keep at it until that last whistle is blown and that was really good on Tuesday.” It was also a game in which – for the first time since Hasselbaink returned – Burton won with more possession than the opposition. “If you want to become a better side, you have to boss both sides of the game, without the ball and when you have it,” said Hasselbaink. “Can you pass it, get through the thirds with the ball? “We know that we have to work a lot harder on that. “Everyone needs to make angles for each other, then can we find that final pass, get a cross in, so that someone can have a shot? “That’s where we can improve and we’re working hard to improve.” Omari Patrick was sent on towards the end of Burton Albion’s game against Accrington Stanley to provide fresh legs up front in a bid to keep the pressure on even though the Brewers were already 4-0 up. Hasselbaink had made five changes for Saturday’s defeat away to MK Dons and four for the Accrington game and says he recognises that is not ideal. He would like to move towards a more settled side. “We don’t really want to keep on changing five players, four players, three players but when you have three games in a row, you will make changes just to freshen it up here and there,” he said. “But I would like to have a settled side, a settled core, definitely. “It doesn’t help at all that we have had a few injuries, a few red cards and five yellows (bringing a suspension). “But we have to overcome that, we can’t keep moaning about it.” Hemmings’ KANE Hemmings “needs a goal” but his contribution to the team is valued and not going unnoticed, says Burton Albion manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. The Brewers striker has scored only two League goals this season, the last at the start of October, but he registered two assists in Tuesday’s 4-0 win over Accrington Stanley. There was also a point in the game when Accrington broke and it was Hemmings who raced back 60 yards, outpacing a forward to

facebook.com/BurtonLiveNews SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2021 BURTON MAIL 47 Sport Richie Wellens believes he is getting closer to turning Doncaster Rovers’ fortunes around. Wellens: We are changing Might Blades look at Jebbison recall? NEW Sheffield United manager Paul Heckinbottom may consider recalling Daniel Jebbison from his loan with Burton Albion in January, The Star newspaper in Sheffield has speculated. Heckingbottom gave Jebbison his first team debut for the Blades when in interim charge last season and also worked with him while Under-23 coach at Bramall Lane. But despite The Star’s headline naming Jebbison, Heckingottom’s actual answer when asked about the situation of loan players was more generalised. “We review it all the time. I’ll be less involved in that now but we’ve used it (the loan system) very well, whether it be monthly youth loans or longerterm loans into the leagues,” he said. “It’s a good education for players, good for them to realise what first-team football is all about because the hardest step is from the under-23s into the first team. A lot of players have had a taste of it, we need to see players stay in the team now.” the culture effort ‘recognised’ clear the ball out for a throw-in. “He’s working really hard for the team and it’s recognised and appreciated,” said Hasselbaink. “He needs a goal. He needs the team to look after him because he’s looking after several others. Here and there he needs to be a little bit more selfish. “He’s put in a lot of work over the last two games, which we like and which he needs to keep on doing. “If we have that commitment, we have a great platform to work from.” Kane Hemmings DONCASTER Rovers manager Richie Wellens believes he is edging closer to changing the “losing mentality” at the club that he found when he arrived in May. Rovers are second bottom of League One ahead of their game against Burton Albion today but Wellens says the work ethic he needs from his players is returning. “It was a club that was used to losing,” he told the Doncaster Free Press. “If you’re very lucky when you come into a job, you’ve got players in a position to be successful, momentum is with you and you’ve got a forward, upward curve. “But when you usually go into a job, there’s generally a reason why the old manager has gone. “I walked into a club that had won three or four games in 24 so the culture of the club wasn’t right. “The culture at the training ground, where players want to get on the training pitch, training to a certain intensity, wasn’t right. “But I think we’re getting that now and I’m looking at players that train to their maximum every single day. “I think we’re getting to where it is non-negotiable now that when you go on the pitch your work ethic is such that it represents playing for the shirt and playing for the people of Doncaster. “That is the minimum requirement and at the moment we’re getting that. It takes time because it’s something you feel. “You sense it around the training ground. I have got a sense over the last couple of weeks that something is changing. “It’s more the players coming out of their comfort zone, taking more responsibility on.” Wellens recognises that a similar thing happened at Burton under Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink last season and says the Brewers are a good example of what can be achieved. “They were in a similar situation to us last January but their fortunes have changed, so they are an example to us,” he said. “They are a big, powerful team that overload the box whenever they get a chance. “We need to go there and keep the ball on the floor. Because of their physicality we need to put our own stamp on things.” Wellens says the cultural shift took time because of the injury crisis which has ravaged the club since pre-season and reduced the threat of players losing their places if not performing or training well. “Usually, if you don’t give that effort, you’re out of the team,” he said. “Weeks ago, people knew they weren’t going to lose their shirt because there was no one coming in behind them. “We still haven’t got that but people are buying into the work ethic first and if you can have the football at your feet, that’s secondary to the work ethic and the passion you need to show. “If you’ve got 11 players to pick from and you’re the only player in your position that is fit, it’s human nature to know you’re going to play. “There were also so many reasons and excuses the players could give us because of all the factors in the last year: ‘I don’t feel fit because of this.’”
