:00:44.:00:53.

Good evening and welcome to Thursday's programme

:00:54.:00:59.

with Dominic Heale and me, Anne Davies.

:01:00.:01:01.

First tonight, what's happening to our pay?

:01:02.:01:03.

It's lagging behind, is the answer.

:01:04.:01:04.

Every year, the Office for National Statistics isstes a big

:01:05.:01:07.

report into how much we're darning, where the highest wages are,

:01:08.:01:09.

I'll be speaking to Chris Hobbs representing the employer

:01:10.:01:19.

in a moment, but first, Dom's been going through thd ones

:01:20.:01:21.

These are the provisional figures for 2016.

:01:22.:01:26.

The headline figure the ONS uses is the weekly gross median

:01:27.:01:28.

This time round, the East Mhdlands saw the second lowest

:01:29.:01:36.

increase in earnings in the first half of 2016.

:01:37.:01:38.

The median weekly pay in the East Midlands is ?483.

:01:39.:01:49.

The group at the top of the earnings tree,

:01:50.:01:55.

corporate managers and directors are on ?765 a week.

:01:56.:02:00.

At the other end, people working in retail sales,

:02:01.:02:06.

they're on an average of ?332 a week, or around ?16,800.

:02:07.:02:09.

And carers on almost the same, at ?17,000.

:02:10.:02:20.

That's not good news for pax in this region - what's going on?

:02:21.:02:28.

I think it's important to dhg behind the figure. In the East Midlands, we

:02:29.:02:36.

have a diverse community and that means there are some areas `nd

:02:37.:02:39.

sectors and job role is doing particularly well and others where

:02:40.:02:44.

we have been struggling. He has been constrained in the public sdctor.

:02:45.:02:49.

And broadly, we've been cre`ting jobs quite fast. If you are out of

:02:50.:02:53.

work this time last year, there s a chance you will be in where now

:02:54.:02:55.

But we DO have a lot of low-paid people.

:02:56.:02:57.

Others stats from this survey show 1.6% of jobs

:02:58.:02:59.

in the East Midlands were p`id below the minimum wage.

:03:00.:03:02.

From the introduction of the National Living Wage, wd've seen

:03:03.:03:11.

employers trying to recoup this additional cost.

:03:12.:03:12.

They've done that by trying to reduced shift premiums,

:03:13.:03:14.

overtime rates and taking away paid breaks.

:03:15.:03:16.

This has meant that people's take-home pay has stayed thd same

:03:17.:03:19.

and those below 25 have seen a reduction in their pay.

:03:20.:03:33.

The employer 's claw by wagds through other means? I don't think

:03:34.:03:44.

so. As any responsible employer would, they are looking across the

:03:45.:03:48.

whole spectrum, particularlx when we think about the uncertainty coming

:03:49.:03:49.

up. Well, let's hear what peopld

:03:50.:03:49.

are saying about the What is going into

:03:50.:03:51.

the account is less than what is going out,

:03:52.:03:54.

so the Government should really increase it

:03:55.:03:56.

and I think families are struggling. I think there's been underinvestment

:03:57.:04:00.

in the East Midlands. I probably see that

:04:01.:04:02.

on a daily basis. I don't think there's as much

:04:03.:04:05.

investment here as there is in other

:04:06.:04:07.

parts of the country. I read in the paper today

:04:08.:04:10.

that they reckon even nurses are If you work it out,

:04:11.:04:13.

it's not a fat lot Bills are increasing and it's tough

:04:14.:04:21.

times for everybody. And I think with Brexit,

:04:22.:04:25.

it will Now, economic growth

:04:26.:04:26.

affects pay, obviously. Today, we heard that the EU

:04:27.:04:33.

referendum doesn't appear to have How is this region fixed

:04:34.:04:36.

to face the Brexit process? Well, we surveyed members about this

:04:37.:04:52.

and by and large, after the referendum, they did well and we saw

:04:53.:04:55.

that any figures today. There uncertainty ahead, but no one will

:04:56.:05:03.

know. I think the diversity in terms of our business community stands in

:05:04.:05:09.

good stead and the appetite well, businesses are confident and they

:05:10.:05:12.

see opportunities and I will be an opportunity going forward.

:05:13.:05:12.

Well, Dom's found a few mord nuggets in the survey.

:05:13.:05:15.

Geography's interesting - lots of variation.

:05:16.:05:19.

Derby South comes in top thhs time with average earnings

:05:20.:05:21.

followed by North West Leicestershire at ?447.

:05:22.:05:26.

Public sector workers are doing better

:05:27.:05:32.

than the private sector with the public sector on ?444

:05:33.:05:35.

and women working full time persists in our region.

:05:36.:05:41.

Male weekly pay is, on average, ?529.30 a week.

:05:42.:05:43.

We'll come onto that in a moment. He mentioned the geographical

:05:44.:06:05.

variation. Do we have too m`ny low-paid areas in the East Lidlands?

:06:06.:06:09.

You will always be an interdsting region, because we are so dhverse.

:06:10.:06:18.

There is a Rolls-Royce and Toyota and we've got old coal mining sites

:06:19.:06:23.

that have their own challenges. It is also one of the beauties of the

:06:24.:06:29.

East Midlands. The difference between men and women, 25%? This is

:06:30.:06:36.

a problem for society. It is about ensuring young girls at school being

:06:37.:06:39.

told they can think beyond some of the perhaps traditional rolds that

:06:40.:06:44.

were put towards them, get those engineering roles, get thosd roles

:06:45.:06:49.

that give you a chance for higher pay, it's something as a cotntry we

:06:50.:06:56.

need to tackle. Can we manage that? Now more than ever, we must make

:06:57.:07:00.

sure it is a top priority. Thank you.

:07:01.:07:04.

A man who stabbed a teenager to death outside a Derbyshire

:07:05.:07:07.

nightclub, has told a jury he was trying to protect hilself.

:07:08.:07:10.

Dominic Halliday-Fox has denied murdering 17-year-old

:07:11.:07:13.

Our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, is at

:07:14.:07:18.

So how did he explain what happened?

:07:19.:07:28.

The 21-year-old accepted that he killed Dante,

:07:29.:07:31.

The police found a five-inch blade, which he admitted carrying

:07:32.:07:37.

But he said that was for self-defence, because he's been

:07:38.:07:46.

And he told jury about what happened here,

:07:47.:07:52.

He said his girlfriend was drunk and she got into an argument

:07:53.:07:57.

He said he thought Dante had a knife.

:07:58.:08:06.

So he pulled his own knife out, to make him back off.

:08:07.:08:11.

He told the jury he didn't know Dante was dead

:08:12.:08:13.

And he told the jury, "I didn't mean to stab him.

:08:14.:08:18.

So do the prosecution accept that's what happened?

:08:19.:08:24.

Their barrister, Peter Joycd QC asked him detailed questions

:08:25.:08:30.

He said that showed the stabbing wasn't an accident, that

:08:31.:08:37.

Dominic Halliday-Fox was the aggressor and

:08:38.:08:38.

that he ran towards Dante, and then stabbed him twice.

:08:39.:08:41.

"You stabbed him on purpose", Mr Joyce said, when Dante

:08:42.:08:43.

He went on: "Did you lose f`ce in front of your friends,

:08:44.:08:47.

The 21-year-old kept insisthng that it wasn't intentional.

:08:48.:08:52.

And summing up will begin here tomorrow.

:08:53.:09:11.

The police search for a missing Nottinghamshire woman has

:09:12.:09:13.

Officers have now issued a fresh appeal for information

:09:14.:09:17.

about 22-year-old Melanie Whlson from Sutton-in-Ashfield, who hasn't

:09:18.:09:21.

Meanwhile, specialist dive teams have been

:09:22.:09:30.

A catch-up with a friend late last Wednesday is the last time

:09:31.:09:37.

Officers have today renewed their appeal for information

:09:38.:09:41.

She works as a charity volunteer and is described

:09:42.:09:47.

as of slim build with long, blonde hair and a distinctive

:09:48.:09:50.

Nobody's heard anything and that is the really concdrning

:09:51.:09:56.

thing, because she uses social media and has

:09:57.:09:58.

family's point of view, they are really concerned

:09:59.:10:01.

and they just want anyone to come forward and tell us

:10:02.:10:04.

A community search has now been launched by people

:10:05.:10:09.

We will be searching certain local areas and if

:10:10.:10:15.

anyone can help us in Mansfheld that would be great as well.

:10:16.:10:18.

She's a kind and generous girl, so let us

:10:19.:10:20.

hope we can get her found soon, safe.

:10:21.:10:23.

Everybody's really concerned, especially her family.

:10:24.:10:24.

It's hard to imagine how worried they must

:10:25.:10:27.

be, having not heard from

:10:28.:10:28.

Please, pop into your local police station or

:10:29.:10:34.

hospital, somewhere where wd can make sure you're OK.

:10:35.:10:36.

You're not in any kind of trouble, we just need to

:10:37.:10:39.

Police dive teams began searching underwater at the local ple`sure

:10:40.:10:44.

They are continuing today and have also taken

:10:45.:10:47.

As the search for Melanie enters its eighth day,

:10:48.:10:51.

police say they want to hear from anyone who has any

:10:52.:10:53.

Officers say they just want to know that she's OK.

:10:54.:11:06.

A man's pleaded guilty to mtrdering a 31-year-old in Leicester.

:11:07.:11:08.

Adam Bent was stabbed in thd chest at Braunstone Gate in July.

:11:09.:11:11.

Cameron Fields, who's 21 and from Gresley Close,

:11:12.:11:13.

A 16-year-old has also pleaded guilty to assisting an offender

:11:14.:11:20.

Both are due to be sentenced next month.

:11:21.:11:22.

Adam's mum, Mary Pankhurst, says she feels relieved,

:11:23.:11:26.

but that her family "have to live through the pain of losing @dam

:11:27.:11:29.

Police have arrested a 16-year-old boy in connection

:11:30.:11:37.

with two serious sexual ass`ults in Nottingham last weekend.

:11:38.:11:39.

The first victim was attackdd on Derby Road in Lenton

:11:40.:11:43.

on Sunday and a second victhm was assaulted in Wollaton.

:11:44.:11:45.

A 17-year-old boy who was initially arrested has since been

:11:46.:11:47.

Police say they've increased patrols in the area

:11:48.:11:52.

Nottinghamshire fire and rescue says a blaze that's been burning

:11:53.:12:02.

in Walesby for over a month could finally be out

:12:03.:12:04.

Teams are still tackling pockets of flames in the wreckage

:12:05.:12:08.

of an industrial unit on Forest Lane, which is

:12:09.:12:10.

Investigations continue over the illegal waste

:12:11.:12:14.

We hear about the growing popularity of a university society helping

:12:15.:12:26.

Hundreds of school children in Leicestershire have had their flu

:12:27.:12:40.

vaccines today as part of the school

:12:41.:12:43.

The nasal spray is being offered to all 5-11 year olds.

:12:44.:12:48.

Well, one mother's urging parents to make sure

:12:49.:12:51.

Kerry Knight's son was left fighting for his life

:12:52.:12:56.

Pupils at this primary school in Leicester lined up to have their flu

:12:57.:13:12.

vaccine this morning. My nale is Kerry, what is your surname?

:13:13.:13:18.

Thousands of children across Leicester, Leicestershire and

:13:19.:13:21.

Rutland are expected to havd the spray in the next few weeks. Lester

:13:22.:13:25.

was one of the first in the UK to roll out the nasal spray as an

:13:26.:13:31.

alternative to the injection. It helps children avoid flu. Wd offer

:13:32.:13:36.

it on a yearly basis, because flu strains change and it helps

:13:37.:13:41.

developing immunity to protdct the wider community. Flu is highly

:13:42.:13:46.

contagious and spreads rapidly. It is hoped that by immunising all

:13:47.:13:49.

primary school children it will help not only stop the spread of the

:13:50.:13:52.

virus through the school, btt protect other friends of thd rest of

:13:53.:13:57.

their families. Last year, the flu vaccination was offered to the

:13:58.:14:04.

parents of 76,000 children, but only 44,000 children were immunised. A

:14:05.:14:09.

take up rate of 58%. This ydar, health officials are hoping more

:14:10.:14:13.

children will have the flu spray. I had the spray, because I do want to

:14:14.:14:17.

spread germs I get the flu lyself or give it to anyone else. It tickles

:14:18.:14:22.

your nose a little, but feels right after a while. It is import`nt and I

:14:23.:14:27.

don't want to make my familx all, because I love them. It is `

:14:28.:14:31.

horrible illness and we don't want the children being of sick, because

:14:32.:14:35.

it affects their education. This boy was just three when he got flu. At

:14:36.:14:40.

the time, there was no vacchne for him. His mother is now urging

:14:41.:14:43.

parents to make sure they gdt their children immunised. He contracts are

:14:44.:14:50.

many strains of flu and we spent three months in hospital, including

:14:51.:14:55.

intensive care and he remains an oxygen even now and still stffer the

:14:56.:14:58.

long-term health effects of that flu. That case may be rare, but his

:14:59.:15:03.

mother hopes it serves as a warning that a quick spray could save your

:15:04.:15:05.

child's life. Managers at Nottingham's Hospital

:15:06.:15:08.

Trust say they'll make a decision about whether to terminate

:18:29.:18:31.

absolutely fantastic. Our business is heavily

:18:32.:18:39.

reliant on the student population, but also

:18:40.:18:41.

the work they do relieves the pressure and strain

on the emergency services. And now with the extra volunteers,

:18:44.:18:46.

the night owls can be out in force in the

:18:47.:18:48.

run-up to Christmas. We're going to start

:18:49.:19:04.

with a remarkable story of ` man from the East Midlands who had

:19:05.:19:11.

a truly profound effect on football history,

:19:12.:19:14.

founding one of Its a story that, until a fdw years

:19:15.:19:15.

ago, hardly anyone knew. The man's name was

:19:16.:19:20.

Herbert Kilpin. In the late 1900s, this now ropey

:19:21.:19:21.

building on Mansfield Road Kilpin was a butcher's son,

:19:22.:19:32.

who went into the lace And while he was there,

:19:33.:19:35.

he founded and led the Milan Which went onto become seven-time

:19:36.:19:39.

European Cup winning side, @C Milan. And now at last, Kilpin's

:19:40.:19:47.

being acknowledged in his home city with a plaque on that shop

:19:48.:19:50.

and a new biography. I'm delighted to say that book's

:19:51.:19:55.

author is here, Robert Nierh. Alongside the man who a few years

:19:56.:20:00.

ago restored him to his rightful place in Milan's

:20:01.:20:03.

folklore, Luigi La Rocca. Robert, what inspires

:20:04.:20:06.

you about this story? I think you've already expl`ined it.

:20:07.:20:18.

He was no ordinary chap born in Mansfield Road and ended up founding

:20:19.:20:21.

AC Milan, all of the greatest in the world. But he wasn't good enough to

:20:22.:20:28.

play the county of forest! Bye-macro Luigi, why did you work so hard on

:20:29.:20:33.

this project? I were to livd for 20 years so I found this

:20:34.:20:45.

footballer, I recognised for him that he was the father of Italian

:20:46.:20:58.

football and this I am very happy to have found. You've done a rdmarkable

:20:59.:20:59.

job. The figure of Herbert Kilpin in

:21:00.:21:15.

Milan is very important. We can see here some of the stuff that goes on

:21:16.:21:16.

around the stadium. And why does it matter

:21:17.:21:18.

that we acknowledge him herd? Because he was the father of Italian

:21:19.:21:27.

football and they won the World Cup four times. Still leading the way!

:21:28.:21:31.

And this is a city of footb`ll, so we owe him a recognition for he did,

:21:32.:21:37.

even if it was abroad. And we can see humble beginnings there. How

:21:38.:21:41.

pleased I used to see the shgns going up and have the bus n`med

:21:42.:21:47.

after him? Fantastic. There's a book, a pub, a black, and this is

:21:48.:21:49.

the centenary year. There was an amateur in vertigo one,

:21:50.:21:58.
