And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Geeta Pendse.

:00:11.:00:14.

Nottinghamshire's Police Commissioner has told

:00:15.:00:17.

East Midlands Today the Prevent anti-extremism programme needs

:00:18.:00:20.

Paddy Tipping's worried that it's alienating some Muslims

:00:21.:00:28.

because they think they're being "spied on".

:00:29.:00:30.

He was speaking after Leicestershire's Chief Constable

:00:31.:00:33.

dismissed the spying claim as "hysterical".

:00:34.:00:35.

Our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball, reports.

:00:36.:00:39.

Responding to the threat from terrorism, new armed police

:00:40.:00:41.

patrols in Nottingham and Leicester, to reassure and to provide

:00:42.:00:45.

But the Prevent programme is trying to deter people

:00:46.:00:50.

from being radicalised by violent extremists.

:00:51.:00:52.

These teenagers are being warned about the dangers

:00:53.:00:55.

More controversially, schools also have a legal duty to refer

:00:56.:00:59.

They think they are being spied on by the police.

:01:00.:01:05.

I think there are other people, youth workers, educators,

:01:06.:01:08.

social workers, who will be more acceptable to parts

:01:09.:01:11.

Relaunch this, we've got to move people away from radicalisation,

:01:12.:01:20.

Muslim groups are involved in some elements of the Prevent programme.

:01:21.:01:24.

In Derby they are helping women who have been targeted

:01:25.:01:26.

And these people, they want us to blow everybody up...

:01:27.:01:34.

While mosques in Leicester sent out these booklets to help stop

:01:35.:01:36.

And today the local Chief Constable said concerns

:01:37.:01:39.

about Prevent are "hysterical", and repeated this example of how

:01:40.:01:41.

A teenage lad who was thinking of going to Syria, people around

:01:42.:01:48.

were concerned about that, so mentoring was put around him.

:01:49.:01:50.

And he has not gone to Syria, and his performance at school

:01:51.:01:53.

That's what Prevent is about, it's about safeguarding people.

:01:54.:01:57.

The Prevent programme's dealing with the threat

:01:58.:02:03.

from violent far right groups, as well as Islamist extremists.

:02:04.:02:06.

The challenge, achieving that without making

:02:07.:02:10.

law-abiding communities feel they are being targeted, too.

:02:11.:02:14.

Jeremie Ball, BBC East Midlands Today.

:02:15.:02:16.

Derby's been selected to take part in a national trial in which voters

:02:17.:02:19.

will be asked to provide photo ID before casting

:02:20.:02:23.

The city is one of 18 areas considered "vulnerable" to voting

:02:24.:02:30.

Six people have been convicted of offences related to election

:02:31.:02:34.

In September, the city council rejected a proposal to test out

:02:35.:02:38.

A ?750,000 project to repair the roof

:02:39.:02:45.

of Derby Cathedral will begin next week.

:02:46.:02:47.

The Government-funded work on the nave will take

:02:48.:02:49.

Cathedral staff say the current covering hasn't lasted

:02:50.:02:59.

It'll now be carefully removed and re-cast,

:03:00.:03:02.

with a false roof put in its place while the repairs are completed.

:03:03.:03:08.

It's now a year since a long-awaited shopping and leisure complex opened

:03:09.:03:11.

for business in Hinckley in Leicestershire -

:03:12.:03:13.

and business leaders say it's thriving.

:03:14.:03:14.

In addition to creating jobs, The Crescent has brought new stores,

:03:15.:03:17.

restaurants and Hinckley's first cinema for decades.

:03:18.:03:19.

The town's Business Improvement District says the local economy

:03:20.:03:21.

The Crescent has been absolutely brilliant for Hinkley.

:03:22.:03:26.

Another 150,000 a month in terms of footfall,

:03:27.:03:32.

a vacancy rate no longer really exists at 4.7% and the town

:03:33.:03:35.

is buzzing and people are happy with what they have got now.

:03:36.:03:39.

Weather time now, and Sara has our forecast.

:03:40.:03:43.

It is turning into a frosty and a foggy night tonight

:03:44.:03:47.

It is due to light winds and clear skies.

:03:48.:03:51.

The fog patches starting to develop already and they will

:03:52.:03:54.

It is freezing fog present first thing tomorrow,

:03:55.:04:02.

Lows of minus two Celsius but even colder in rural areas.

:04:03.:04:08.

This fog might not clear through the daytime and we might

:04:09.:04:12.

find it stays like that and it makes it feel very raw outside.

:04:13.:04:15.

It could start to lift into low cloud before filling

:04:16.:04:17.

in towards the early part of the evening, and daytime

:04:18.:04:20.

temperatures tomorrow will not be any higher than 2-3 Celsius.

:04:21.:04:22.

The area of high pressure bringing this settled weather moves position

:04:23.:04:24.

a bit further eastwards by Thursday, so it brings in a bit more cloud,

:04:25.:04:28.

a bit more of a breeze and the temperatures also start

:04:29.:04:30.

So up to 7-8 Celsius but it will also be breezy and maybe wet.

:04:31.:04:48.
