And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Dominic Heale. | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
The East Midlands has experienced a significant earthquake ` the | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
strongest quake to hit the UK this year. There have been several | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
tremors in the region in recent years. But this one ` with its | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
epicentre in Rutland ` was among the biggest ` with a magnitude of 3.2. | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
Sarah Teale reports. The peace and tranquillity of the | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Rutland and Leicestershire countryside was rocked just after | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
7am. This was the cause, an earthquake measuring magnitude three | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
point two. Rhian Ivory and her family said it sided like a lorry | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
had crashed into the bungalow. `` sounded. It sounded like the war | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
was shaking behind me. It was a sound and vibration as well. My | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
eldest one thought it might have been a bomb. I heard sort of | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
rumbling sound, and it shook my bed. The epicentre was at Oakham and | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
originated 2.5 miles below ground. Many took to social media | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
afterwards, including Austin Healey retweeted, we have just had an | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
earthquake, the House was shaking for about ten seconds. Tremors were | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
felt up to 20 miles away. It felt almost like an explosion, but | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
without the sound, or something hitting the sound rather as Mac | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
hating the House rather than like `` rather than rumbling or shaking. It | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
was a strange sound, I knew it wasn't quite right because in a | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
quiet location like this you do not hear that sort of thing. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
The last significant earthquake hit market raisin in 2008, with the | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
magnitude of 5.2. That was felt across the East Midlands and caused | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
damage to many houses. Earthquakes are not that uncommon in | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
the UK. The British Geological Survey says it has reports of about | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
three per year in this country, and it says it will be investigating the | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
cause of this latest one. They occur as a result of the | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
adjustment `` adjustments `` the adjustments that `` the adjustments | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
to the wider stresses the UK feels. We experience unlike `` a slight | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
squeezing as a result of the mid`Atlantic Ridge. There is no way | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
of predicting when the earth will move for East Midlands as again. `` | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
East Midlanders. Police searching for a soldier who | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
went missing as he tried to swim across a river in York have found a | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
body. 18`year`old Tyler Pearson from | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
Nottingham was last seen in the River Ouse a fortnight ago. | :02:59. | :03:09. | |
Signaller Pearson's family has been told of the discovery. | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
A 47`year`old workman's being treated in hospital after falling | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
from scaffolding in Derby. Members of the Health and Safety | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Executive have been at the scene near The Spot in the city centre. | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
During the incident this morning, the man ` who's not yet been named ` | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
fell about 15 feet onto a wooden platform. He suffered multiple | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
injuries. New research has identified a slump | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
in the economic recovery of one East Midlands city. There's been a big | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
increase in the number of businesses in Nottingham said to be in | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
"critical financial distress". As our political editor John Hess | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
explained earlier, it's the construction industry that's really | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
struggling. I think many viewers will think this | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
is a bit of a turn up, because all the recent political rhetoric from | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
the Prime Minister and the Chancellor has been about the | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
economic revival, and yet only yesterday we were reporting an | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
increase in unemployment in the East Midlands, and this survey which | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
covers the first quarter of this year seems to indicate that | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Nottingham's economic recovery is spluttering as well, that is also | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
against the trend. The problem seems to be in the city's construction | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
sector, there has been a 16% increase in business is facing | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
financial problems, four times higher than the rest of the | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
Midlands. These figures come from a company whose business is to rescue | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
firms which go bust. In the past, the East Midlands has been a better | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
performer compared to the rest of the country. Any weakening in the | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
position can be over exaggerated. As we sit at the moment, I am not | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
seeing any particular worsening compare to everybody else, although | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
all figures seem to show that construction has been a problem. | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
Looking at it from the point of view of maybe being caused by bad | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
weather, the bad weather's been bad around the country and may be worth | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
down south. `` worse down south. Last summer there was that ringing | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
endorsement from the new Governor of the Bank of England about the East | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
Midlands economy, and its importance to the rest of the country. This is | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
a real bellwether for the UK economy, and it is in regions such | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
as this and industries such as those that will determine the course of | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
this recovery. Tonight the business organisation that's responsible for | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
economic regeneration, the local enterprise partnership, it accepts | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
that growth isn't even, and says that inevitably there will be | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
challenges to overcome. It has actually published a special plan to | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
help the construction sector. Let us just hope it is waterproof. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
The funeral of the Leicester author Sue Townsend will take place at De | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
Montfort Hall on May second. The creator of the teenage character | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Adrian Mole died aged 68 after a short illness. Relatives are asking | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
for donations to be made to the Rainbows Children's Hospice in | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
Loughborough, and the stroke wards at Leicester Royal Infirmary. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
The Peak District is to become the first national park in the UK ` and | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
only the third in the world ` to have its trails viewable on the | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
internet. Walkers will soon be able to see | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
such sites as the Derwent Dams and the Monsal Head viaduct, along with | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
some of the famous rock edges popular with climbers. The same | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
technology was used recently to record an online tour of towpaths | :06:30. | :06:30. | |
running along the region's canals. running along the region's | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
That is your news, here's your weather forecast. | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
It was such a cloudy day today, but we are now trying `` starting to see | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
this skies clearing, and we are in for another cold night. The | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
temperatures dropping to a minimum of around three or four Celsius in | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
the towns and cities. At least a bright start to the day once again, | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
and it is going to be a fine day for Good Friday. A little bit of cloud | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
coming in from the North Sea, and it is a north`easterly breeze. A | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
maximum daytime temperature of 12 Celsius. A decent day in store for | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
Saturday as well. If you have any plans out doors, Good Friday and | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
Saturday over two days to go for. Although Saturday, a little bit more | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
cloud around. itself across southern England, so | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
we will see wet weather over England. Have a good Easter. | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
One thing we can be sure about is it won't be as cold as Easter last | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
year, when we had seems like this, a covering of snow with icicles and | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
temperatures down to an Easter record of minus 12.5 Celsius. One | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
year and a couple of weeks on, things look very different. The | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
first half of the Easter weekend, a lot of dry weather and a lot of warm | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
and strong sunshine as well. It is the second half of the Easter | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
weekend when things turn more unsettled, with some rain around. A | :08:07. | :08:17. | |
few showers today | :08:18. | :08:18. |
