Good evening. Hillsborough Castle. | :00:13. | :00:12. | |
Four of our further education colleges | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
and The University of Bedfordshire have been banned from admitting new | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
It follows an investigation which estimates nearly 50,000 | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
immigrants may have been able to cheat their way through language | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Across the country 57 private colldges | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
and two universities are accused of failing to make the proper checks. | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
Have some students obtained visas through fraudulent me`ns? | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
The question for one of our fastest growing univershties. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
Concerns raised by the Immigration Minister in the Commons. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
We have told a further two universities, the Universitx of | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Bedfordshire and the University of West London, that they are no longer | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
allowed to sponsor new studdnts pending further investigations, | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
which will decide whether they should also be | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
The University say they do not know why they have been namdd | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
We are confident, from internal reviews, that procedures ard | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
robust and our licence was not suspended this week. | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
We are confident that when we have an audit we will get a clean bill | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
of health and will be free to recruit new international students. | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
The Government claims come after this. | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
Secret filming that appears to show foreign students being helped | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
to cheat to pass their Englhsh tests. | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
It is highly unlikely, the Government say, | :01:37. | :01:37. | |
that some universities and colleges were fulfilling their duty. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
Passing an English test is a requirement for a student visa | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
but so is proof of academic qualifications and attendance. | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
57 private colleges are now banned from taking new foreign students, | :01:50. | :02:02. | |
There is a failure but it is with the Home Office. We need to get to | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
the bottom market without sdeing the loss to great men and women being | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
educated in our times. 57 private colleges are now banned | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
from taking new foreign students, Mohammed, from Pakistan, | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
is a student. His visa is legitimate, he says but | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
now he is confused and concdrned. All of my friends are calling me | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
about my university being stspended. Colleges are being told thex should | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
have checked students' certhficates before offering places | :02:30. | :02:39. | |
but colleges in our region say they New research suggests small | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
and medium sized businesses in this region are at the forefront | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
of driving economic recoverx. Businesses in 64 of the country s | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
biggest cities were assessed for productivity profitabilhty | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
innovation and growth. Milton Keynes comes fifth | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
for the highest concentration of Milton Keynes is also doing | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
well fourth for the highest Overall Cambridge scores thd best | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
in the country. Northampton also in the top ten | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
from where Stuart Ratcliffe reports. Oyster cards ` a familiar shght | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
if you use the tube in London. But the software | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
behind them is controlled Novacroft has doubled its | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
workforce over the last two years. I think it will not be long | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
before we are known What we are seeing now is that | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
whilst London is growing, in terms of economic abilitx, | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
actually a lot of people ard moving It's very interesting because they | :03:56. | :04:19. | |
are very different times with different heritages and profiles. | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
The first thing I would say is that this is great news because for a | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
sustainable recovery we need to be broad and the fact that we have ?3 | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
doing very well is fantastic news. And Northampton hopes that this | :04:35. | :04:35. | |
building could attract even more small businesses to the town, | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
because when complete this could be home to 55 new small | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
businesses. The local enterprise partnership | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
here is also providing support Companies in the new enterprise zone | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
also benefit from tax breaks, which means Northampton is now | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
competing and on occasions beating We are not to be modest | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
about our achievements. I think now and we certainlx | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
should not be in the future. We are not Cambridge or | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
Milton Keynes, we are This is undoubtedly an excellent | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
place to come and start and grow | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
a business and is a lot mord But today's report says there's | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
no room for complacency. Saying the government needs to do | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
more to work with towns and cities to improve infrastructure | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
and training. A couple | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
from Northampton extradited to the United States to face fraud charges | :05:36. | :05:36. | |
have been released from prison. Paul and Sandra Dunham who deny | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
the charges fought extradithon fearing they'd be held | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
in a detention centre for months. Their trial could take placd | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
in a few months time. A protest on horseback has taken | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
place in Newmarket over A group | :05:55. | :05:57. | |

special and 400 homes planndd for Hatchfield Farm, which hs owned | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
by Lord Derby, shouldn't be built. But campaigners say it'll | :06:03. | :06:13. | |
destroy Newmarket's image. People coming into Newmarket, | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
it comes across as a large village And that is critical to | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
the perception of investors A huge number of which come | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
from overseas. This is the atmosphere | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
they want to invest in. this is where they were horses to be | :06:31. | :06:45. | |
trained and bred, not in thd middle a town. | :06:46. | :06:46. | |
Time to get the weather now with Alex Dolan | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
A dry night ahead, and a chilly night under clear skies. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
There will be some mist patches around as well | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
Although these will be the values in towns and cities, it could be | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
But a fine and sunny morning with long spells of sunshind. | :07:01. | :07:09. | |
More cloud in the afternoon with the small risk of a shower. | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
As for the afternoon, a bit cloudy but largely drx. | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
Unsettled through the end of the week, with outbreaks | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
of rain and some heavy, thundery showers around by Saturday. | :07:21. | :07:32. | |
afternoon. It does turn more unsettled and there would be heavy | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
and thundery downpours around. Good evening. A little bit later than | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
usual. The weather over the next couple of days will change. Let me | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
show you the satellite picture. You can see the cloud streaming across | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
the Atlantic. This weather front Weller upset the weather across -- | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
will upset the weather in the south-west. As far as tonight is | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
concerned, cool, even Chile by Thursday morning. There is some rain | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
around across the north-west of the country. In the south-west, that is | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
what is heading into the direction of Cornwall. In the east, | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
temperatures could be | :08:26. | :08:28. |
