Good evening. There's concern tonight that some schools

:00:11.:00:12.

in the West won't be ready hn time to provide free meals for all four`

:00:13.:00:16.

The government has given cotncils millions of pounds to help schools

:00:17.:00:19.

But head teachers are warning that it's not enough.

:00:20.:00:24.

This head teacher will have serious problems implementing

:00:25.:00:29.

This old kitchen at Bishop Henderson Primary School

:00:30.:00:40.

A growing school, now with 420 pupils, it needed all

:00:41.:00:45.

Even if this school buys in meals from an outside supplier

:00:46.:00:53.

it'll need to convert part of this hall to a servery.

:00:54.:00:57.

That'll cost ?16,000 ` money the school doesn?t have.

:00:58.:01:03.

The only way we could do th`t, if we were to do that, would be to take it

:01:04.:01:07.

from education staffing, so losing support staff, teaching staff,

:01:08.:01:10.

This is by no means the onlx school struggling with this new idda.

:01:11.:01:17.

The reckon only about a third of primary schools in Somerset

:01:18.:01:20.

Now the county council is planning to build one big central kitchen.

:01:21.:01:27.

The question is, will it be ready in time?

:01:28.:01:31.

From September, all schools will have to provide

:01:32.:01:33.

Schools like this one in Tatnton, which have their own kitchens,

:01:34.:01:38.

The government has given all councils money to help impldment

:01:39.:01:43.

The problem is, that's about ?600,000 short of what?s nedded

:01:44.:01:53.

Nutritionists say from a health point

:01:54.:01:56.

Because of the funding issuds, not every school will have the

:01:57.:02:02.

In those situations they will still be providing things like sandwiches,

:02:03.:02:09.

which aren?t high up enough on the nutritional value list

:02:10.:02:13.

Many schools are clearly worried that what was promised free

:02:14.:02:21.

by the government will end tp costing them money they don't have.

:02:22.:02:29.

Up to a thousand homes in the St Anne's area of Bristol are

:02:30.:02:32.

without water this evening because of a burst water mahn.

:02:33.:02:36.

The ten inch pipe beneath the Feeder Road burst this afternoon.

:02:37.:02:39.

Bristol Water say they're trying to connect customers to altern`tive

:02:40.:02:42.

Part of the road will remain closed at least until tomorrow morning

:02:43.:02:49.

An investigation has begun hn Bath after a serious fire caused the

:02:50.:02:52.

Emergency crews were called to Vernon Terrace just

:02:53.:02:58.

Around 30 fire`fighters tackled the blaze.

:02:59.:03:03.

Those living in the two houses were unharmed

:03:04.:03:06.

Investigators are now trying to find out how the fire startdd.

:03:07.:03:10.

Airbus has lost a major orddr for its new lightweight carbon

:03:11.:03:13.

The aircraft first flew this time last year, and thousands of staff

:03:14.:03:19.

at Filton designed the wings, fuel systems and landing ge`r.

:03:20.:03:23.

Today the Dubai based Emirates airline cancelled an order for 0

:03:24.:03:27.

of the planes, worth over $16 billion doll`rs.

:03:28.:03:31.

Airbus says's it's disappointed but still has orders

:03:32.:03:34.

As we heard on the national news a little earlier, unemploymdnt is

:03:35.:03:42.

The picture is the same herd, with fewer people out of work here than

:03:43.:03:46.

But as our business correspondent Dave

:03:47.:03:50.

Harvey reports, it means sole firms are now facing a shortage of staff.

:03:51.:03:57.

We?ve grown out staff from 08 to 43 workers in the last three ydars

:03:58.:04:01.

As Britain battled the recession there was good money

:04:02.:04:04.

Business is very, very productive and is going well.

:04:05.:04:10.

Our forecast is good for the next two year as well.

:04:11.:04:13.

They've been hiring steadilx here, and are looking

:04:14.:04:18.

And that means fewer people signing on at job centres.

:04:19.:04:24.

I?ve been tracking the numbdrs of people signing on

:04:25.:04:26.

at job centres like this in Bristol and across the West Country.

:04:27.:04:30.

In fact, I?ve put together a little graph.

:04:31.:04:33.

2009, the numbers rocket up at the beginning of the recdssion,

:04:34.:04:37.

bump along through the diffhcult years ` 12, 13, 14 ` and now

:04:38.:04:42.

I?m really glad to say therd are a lot more jobs on offer for people.

:04:43.:04:49.

They need help at short nothce and long`term.

:04:50.:04:54.

Basically, things have totally flipped around.

:04:55.:04:56.

We?ve actually got more jobs on offer than we?ve got candidates.

:04:57.:05:00.

So, we?re going a bit further afield to recruit

:05:01.:05:03.

And at Marshfield, they really do mean further afield.

:05:04.:05:07.

Yes, they still draw on the Wiltshire

:05:08.:05:09.

villages and towns that surround them, but a vital ingredient in

:05:10.:05:12.

their workforce are Polish people, who are ready and willing workers.

:05:13.:05:17.

They were very positive about the opportunities.

:05:18.:05:19.

They wanted long`term, full`time work.

:05:20.:05:22.

They were prepared to put themselves out a little bit to come

:05:23.:05:25.

We interviewed a person a couple of weeks ago who sadly felt he wasn?t

:05:26.:05:31.

able to take the job becausd it interrupted with his salsa classes.

:05:32.:05:34.

Jobs like these will also bring comfort

:05:35.:05:36.

to ministers, boosting their claims that the economy is now recovering.

:05:37.:05:41.

But are there enough skilled people to fill them without

:05:42.:05:44.

South African international batsman Colin Ingram will join Somerset

:05:45.:05:54.

He'll play for the county for five weeks during July and early August.

:05:55.:06:00.

Ingram has played in 31 one`day international matches

:06:01.:06:04.

He'll replace Alviro Petersdn at Somerset, who has been c`lled up

:06:05.:06:08.

That's the news as we come to the end of this beautiful Jtne day.

:06:09.:06:16.

Newsnight has just started on BBC Two, but now let's have

:06:17.:06:19.

a look at the national and local weather forecast.

:06:20.:06:21.

A beautiful June day indeed. Tomorrow will bring more of the

:06:54.:06:58.

That will quickly burn away under the strong sunshine. The winds will

:06:59.:07:05.

be decidedly light. As we rtn through the day, we will find a

:07:06.:07:07.

build`up of a little bit more cloud. Temperatures today have been up to

:07:08.:07:19.

around 18 or 20 Celsius. We will beat that tomorrow with highs of 21,

:07:20.:07:25.

22 or 23 Celsius. They will be higher still on Friday, which could

:07:26.:07:30.

be the highest temperatures of the year so far.

:07:31.:07:32.

of a late storm, it turns a bit fresher into the weekend.

:07:33.:07:38.

On the eve of the World Cup, there was a bit of Brazil in Bridlington

:07:39.:07:44.

today because Bridlington on the east Yorkshire Coast shared the same

:07:45.:07:48.

is as the weather settles
