:00:05. > :00:09.If hello. Tonight, Inside Out is in Leicester to ask what it is like
:00:09. > :00:13.when you are over 50 and you lose your job.
:00:13. > :00:17.It is not pleasant and not what I want. The trickiest part is not
:00:17. > :00:21.knowing when the job, because there will be one, is knowing when it is
:00:21. > :00:26.going to come. Also, inside the head of a suicide
:00:26. > :00:30.bomber. The book attempting to imagine the unimaginable.
:00:30. > :00:36.If what they did was unforgivable, but I do not think it was wrong
:00:36. > :00:45.that this book was written. As the artist who said no to the
:00:45. > :00:49.Nazis. The story of a giant jigsaw puzzle and a incredible escape.
:00:49. > :00:59.I am married Ashby had this is inside -- Inside Out for the East
:00:59. > :01:05.
:01:05. > :01:12.Unemployment has now passed the 2.5 million mark, with fears of worse
:01:12. > :01:18.potato his youth unemployment, a huge number of those out of work
:01:18. > :01:21.are over 50 and back on the jobs market for the first time in years.
:01:21. > :01:29.With prospects bleak, more over- fifties than ever are setting up
:01:29. > :01:39.businesses themselves. It has been in a year where workers
:01:39. > :01:41.
:01:41. > :01:48.have united in protest. Over tough public sector cuts, and over big
:01:48. > :01:54.firms making huge redundancies. It has left more people out of work or
:01:54. > :01:58.chase -- all chasing fewer and fewer jobs. And if you are over 50,
:01:58. > :02:02.your prospects are not good. What we are seeing is that in some
:02:02. > :02:08.areas you have probably more chance of dying than getting another job
:02:08. > :02:12.if you are over 50. It is frightening.
:02:12. > :02:18.Britain has a growing army of middle-aged unemployed, facing
:02:18. > :02:24.money worries and rejection letters after a lifetime of work.
:02:24. > :02:28.In my job, I had been earning �30,000 a year, and then to go
:02:28. > :02:34.virtually overnight on to jobseeker's allowance, which is �65
:02:34. > :02:39.a week, that was a big shock. The over-fifties are less likely
:02:39. > :02:44.than any other age group to find a job. But flying in the face of the
:02:44. > :02:50.harsh statistics Arie new breed of olderpreneurs.
:02:50. > :02:58.I went from nothing, with no future and no job too literally flying
:02:59. > :03:01.high. Val Charman are from Coalville in
:03:01. > :03:06.Leicestershire worked in telemarketing for 20 years before
:03:07. > :03:12.being made redundant. At the age of 56, she found herself job hunting
:03:12. > :03:17.again. I even applied for factory worker.
:03:17. > :03:20.Anything that was local, that I thought I could do. I will work
:03:20. > :03:27.nights, I do not care what the hours are or what the workers.
:03:27. > :03:32.There was a job in a meat factory, I am vegan, so it was not ideal!
:03:32. > :03:35.But I thought I would try. But I did not get anything.
:03:35. > :03:39.What does that do for your self- esteem when you are going for jobs
:03:39. > :03:44.and not getting them? It totally destroys your self-
:03:45. > :03:50.esteem. You feel demoralised and are not good enough. You keep
:03:50. > :03:56.beating yourself up about it. It is hard to get back to being confident
:03:56. > :04:01.and feeling good about yourself. And staying confident is the recipe
:04:02. > :04:06.for eventual success, according to Jonathan Clark. The 54-year-old
:04:06. > :04:10.from Nottingham is an interim finance director. He is used to
:04:10. > :04:16.chopping and changing jobs, but he has that been out a job for more
:04:16. > :04:20.than a year. -- out of work for more than a year.
:04:21. > :04:27.It is perhaps not a shock. It is not what I expected and want. The
:04:28. > :04:34.trickiest part is not knowing when the job, when it will come.
:04:34. > :04:37.A third of people over 50 are not in paid work. In the East Midlands,
:04:37. > :04:44.some 16,000 are claiming jobseeker's allowance. That has
:04:44. > :04:50.risen 11% in the last year. 40% of those, like Jonathan, are classed
:04:50. > :04:55.as long term unemployed. The ups and downs of job hunting can be a
:04:55. > :05:00.stressful occupation in itself. Jonathan spent hours every single
:05:00. > :05:04.day scanning of vacancies, applying for jobs and networking that
:05:04. > :05:09.contact. It is so time-consuming, it is like
:05:09. > :05:18.a full-time job. People say you should try and get a
:05:18. > :05:22.new job by doing it as a job. While the jobless figures are
:05:22. > :05:26.soaring, many over-fifties are taking control of their own future.
:05:26. > :05:36.The number of businesses started up by the over-fifties is really
:05:36. > :05:37.
:05:37. > :05:42.taking off. David Buck from Bolsover in Derbyshire is 57. He
:05:42. > :05:52.was a fitness instructor for 13 years, until his knees gave out.
:05:52. > :05:53.
:05:53. > :05:58.Overnight, he found himself out of work and disabled. You honestly
:05:58. > :06:04.thought you had no chance. If you did not think you would get a job.
:06:04. > :06:09.Or does it was a lifetime on benefit. -- or I could see was a
:06:09. > :06:14.life on benefit. Rather than accept handouts,
:06:14. > :06:19.they've decided to set up a microlight Flying School at
:06:19. > :06:22.Sheffield Aero Club in north Nottinghamshire. One-fifth of
:06:22. > :06:28.working people over 50 are self- employed. Surprisingly, this is
:06:28. > :06:32.where they have the advantage over their younger rivals.
:06:32. > :06:36.People who set up businesses in their fifties are much more likely
:06:36. > :06:44.to succeed than people who set up your younger. Why do you think this
:06:44. > :06:49.We do not take risks. We know what pitfalls there could be. Being a
:06:49. > :06:53.above 50, we have the experience behind us. We were not throw money
:06:53. > :06:56.away, will be very frugal where we put it so we get back the
:06:56. > :07:02.investment. I think that is where we have the edge over younger
:07:02. > :07:12.people. At an all the rage, we have got to take it carefully. We only
:07:12. > :07:17.
:07:17. > :07:20.have a finite amount of money left. After Val Charman up's soul-
:07:20. > :07:26.destroying experience searching for a job, she decided to take the
:07:26. > :07:32.plunge. She set up three small businesses, marketing, and raw
:07:32. > :07:35.fruit recipes and making coats and beds for greyhounds.
:07:35. > :07:39.Talked it through the emotions that you go through when you set your
:07:39. > :07:44.own business up. Fear, but also excitement. It is
:07:44. > :07:49.really exciting. You are doing what you laugh. You have got lots of
:07:49. > :07:59.opportunities. It is so nice to have the freedom to do what I want
:07:59. > :08:06.when I want. She is one of a growing number of
:08:06. > :08:09.so-called Silver starters. Today she is talking through her business
:08:09. > :08:15.plans would be chief executive of the Prince's Trust for Mature
:08:15. > :08:19.Enterprise. The charity is the only national organisation dedicated to
:08:19. > :08:23.promoting self- employment for people above the age of 50.
:08:23. > :08:28.We are seeing more people over 50 seeing self-employment as an option,
:08:28. > :08:31.because of the employment market being what it is today. What be a
:08:31. > :08:36.scene is someone has then they start their business, creating a
:08:36. > :08:43.supply chain and a network of people. So there has also added
:08:43. > :08:49.value. It created role models for other people.
:08:49. > :08:53.Today, Jonathan Clark, who has been job-hunting for every year, is
:08:53. > :08:56.meeting recruitment consultant Simon Gray.
:08:56. > :09:00.The level he is that in terms of his career, he is a very
:09:00. > :09:07.experienced finance director. At the moment, there is not very many
:09:07. > :09:14.jobs for these people. I would summarise the businesses you have
:09:14. > :09:17.worked in by sector and size. The real message is to stay active
:09:18. > :09:22.and continued to network. But I remain optimistic that at some
:09:22. > :09:27.point, I will secure the proper full-time job which will set be off
:09:27. > :09:31.again for another few months. So what should Jonathan and others
:09:31. > :09:36.like him be doing to get back into work?
:09:36. > :09:41.Stay positive. Get proactive and get out there. Get the best advice
:09:41. > :09:46.in terms of your CV, and also interview technique.
:09:46. > :09:53.There will be obstacles, and there is not everything out there that
:09:53. > :09:56.you need, but with your own success and willpower you will succeed.
:09:56. > :10:03.Add prefer that comes from Dave and Duvall, who have turned to their
:10:03. > :10:07.lives around. A difference a year makes is
:10:07. > :10:13.amazing. The world is my oyster. How would you describe this
:10:13. > :10:18.business experience? From having absolutely nothing to
:10:18. > :10:26.this now, I can see myself doing this for the next 10 years. What
:10:26. > :10:33.more can I ask for? Best thing you have ever done? Oh, yes.
:10:33. > :10:37.So maybe life can begin after 50. We have been hearing a lot lately
:10:37. > :10:41.about the safety of our borders, and the ever-present risk of
:10:42. > :10:45.terrorism. But what about the threat from within? What turns up
:10:45. > :10:50.one in two ways to read by -- suicide bomber? A Derbyshire author
:10:50. > :10:55.has made that the subject of his debut novel.

:11:01. > :11:10.The bombings in London killed 52 people and injured over 700. But
:11:10. > :11:16.what led them to do it? It was a question that injury to Sunjeev
:11:16. > :11:20.Sahota, and led him to writing a book. Ours Are The Streets is a
:11:20. > :11:28.fictional account of one man's journey from everyday Yorkshire lad
:11:28. > :11:38.to a radical suicide bomber. Both the farewell videos posted by a

:11:56. > :12:04.set alongside this... This idea we have of these bombers as being
:12:04. > :12:09.quite... Heartless and chilling and without any moral convictions.
:12:09. > :12:12.Sunjeev Sahota was born and raised in Chesterfield. With his

:12:26. > :12:32.people in our school, which was different compared to a lot of my
:12:32. > :12:37.cousins, who grew up in diverse areas. He got through school
:12:37. > :12:45.without picking up a single novel and at the age of 18, the reading
:12:45. > :12:49.bug bit hard. I think it was a bit like a dam bursting through this
:12:49. > :12:56.whole world, a whole world of storytelling that makes you help
:12:56. > :13:01.make sense of things I wasn't as aware of as I could have been.

:14:20. > :14:26.What they are going through, he feels he is somewhat responsible
:14:26. > :14:32.for. For Sunjeev Sahota, this is a story about one man's search for
:14:32. > :14:40.his roots. And back in Sheffield, he turns terrorist because he feels
:14:40. > :14:50.personally guilty for what has happened to his people. I want to

:14:56. > :15:01.leave something behind for you all. Rebecca, Amin, all of you...
:15:01. > :15:06.Terrorism expert, Dr Rod Thornton from Nottingham University, has
:15:06. > :15:15.been reading the book. It is a wonderful first person narrative
:15:15. > :15:19.that takes us into the mind of a suicide bomber. He has a lack of
:15:19. > :15:23.identity, cannot situate himself and that is what you find with a
:15:23. > :15:30.lot of suicide bombers, they feel alienation, from their family, from
:15:30. > :15:37.their particular culture, there community, but they have a sense of
:15:37. > :15:45.hatred as well. He told BAE would have to do a few things on a day.

:15:51. > :15:55.Bradford, he is using commercial explosives to make his suicidal
:15:55. > :16:04.waist coat. I think that it is a book, a novel, but it is not going
:16:04. > :16:08.to get everything right. The book offers an insight into the mind of
:16:08. > :16:18.the terrorist. How do those who nursed and comforted the victims of
:16:18. > :16:19.
:16:19. > :16:25.a real bombing, like 77, read this account? Dr Peter Holden, a Matlock
:16:25. > :16:29.GP was in Tavistock Square in London when a bomb ripped apart a
:16:29. > :16:34.double-decker bus, killing 13 people, leaving many more with
:16:34. > :16:40.horrific injuries. Everything went salmon-pink. I was sitting with my
:16:40. > :16:45.colleagues from the rest of the GP negotiating team, and we said, that
:16:45. > :16:53.is a bomb. Move away from this road! When I looked down at the bus,
:16:53. > :16:59.at the time, my immediate reaction was not, oh my God there are 13
:16:59. > :17:05.dead. It was, this is a multiple blast injury scenario. It became
:17:05. > :17:09.quite scientific. He took charge and organised his colleagues into a
:17:10. > :17:14.makeshift Yard team. I watched colleagues book drips on they
:17:14. > :17:20.hadn't done for 20 years, as if they had done it yesterday. This
:17:20. > :17:23.was first -- this was first of all simple first-aid. We were using
:17:23. > :17:29.collapsible table tops as structures, that is how we got
:17:29. > :17:34.people from the bus inside. Given his experience, you might expect
:17:34. > :17:41.him to have little time for a book like Ours Are The Streets, but you
:17:41. > :17:46.would be wrong. What they did was unforgivable, but it is not wrong
:17:46. > :17:50.this book has been written. It has been written sensitively and it is
:17:50. > :17:55.important that people analyse motives because if you do that, you
:17:55. > :17:59.have a small chance to understand what went on. The backlash of the
:17:59. > :18:04.7/7 bombings was felt in communities all over the country.
:18:04. > :18:09.None more so than in Leicester, where Sunjeev Sahota attends a book
:18:09. > :18:14.promotion at the local library. don't automatically feel sympathy
:18:14. > :18:19.for somebody who is becoming a bomber, any sort of bomber, and you
:18:19. > :18:24.are trying to think, what makes somebody take that road? It is the
:18:24. > :18:31.truth. Even if it is commercial, it paints a true picture. It opens a
:18:31. > :18:35.dialogue. It is a subject everybody has an opinion about.
:18:35. > :18:39.The terror target in the book is the Meadowhall shopping centre in
:18:40. > :18:49.Sheffield. It ends with the man taken to the very edge of the
:18:49. > :18:56.mission. I started mouthing out the final prayer, testing myself, how
:18:56. > :19:03.well I have memorised it. The most commonly asked question, I suppose,
:19:03. > :19:09.is does he or does he not go through with it? I think by the end
:19:09. > :19:15.he was definitely capable of it. And willing. At the same time, he
:19:16. > :19:22.was also reaching out for help as well. The book ends where it ends.
:19:22. > :19:27.I have done my bit. The rest is up to the reader.
:19:27. > :19:30.Finally tonight: He was the man who dared to say no
:19:30. > :19:33.to Adolf Hitler... An artist who secretly created a giant anti-war
:19:34. > :19:36.painting then cut it into pieces and risked his life to hide it from
:19:36. > :19:39.the Nazis. Now Matthaeus Koelz's masterpiece is reaching a new
:19:39. > :19:42.audience here at the New Walk Museum in Leicester. Tonight for
:19:42. > :19:45.the first time since 1937, Inside Out can reveal what the painting
:19:45. > :19:55.may have looked like in full colour. Could this be the breakthrough
:19:55. > :19:57.
:19:57. > :20:03.which reunites the pieces of a 75- It is 17 feet wide and almost eight
:20:03. > :20:13.feet tall. An anti-war work of art that would have infuriated Adolf
:20:13. > :20:14.
:20:14. > :20:24.Hitler. But he never saw it. To keep it hidden from the Nazis, the
:20:24. > :20:26.
:20:26. > :20:31.artist had it sawn into more than 20 pieces. We know that pieces of
:20:31. > :20:35.the triptych were handed over to very trusted friends and family to
:20:35. > :20:40.look after. Because my father knew it would be destroyed if it were
:20:40. > :20:43.not hidden away. Many of the panels remain scattered throughout Europe.
:20:43. > :20:53.But now, 75 years on, can Matthaeus Koelz's jigsaw finally be completed
:20:53. > :21:01.
:21:01. > :21:11.Because this work was such a sacrifice, it deserves to be seen
:21:11. > :21:11.
:21:11. > :21:14.Gathering dust in the vaults of New Walk Museum are pieces of Matthaeus
:21:14. > :21:17.Koelz's masterpiece. After he died 40 years ago, his daughter Ava
:21:17. > :21:23.noticed that a familiar painting in her father's house fitted neatly
:21:23. > :21:28.into this black and white photograph. It showed a triptych,
:21:28. > :21:38.or painting in three parts. Since then, she's been hunting for the
:21:38. > :21:40.
:21:40. > :21:46.missing pieces. So far, she's found six. Might eldest half-sister had
:21:46. > :21:54.one piece. I think she was interested in finding homes for the
:21:54. > :21:59.other pieces. But it is very difficult at this distance of time
:21:59. > :22:02.to be positive about anything. happened to the other missing
:22:02. > :22:05.pieces remains a mystery. Curator Simon Lake has blown up the black
:22:05. > :22:08.and white photograph to recreate the triptych and put it on
:22:08. > :22:12.exhibition in Leicester and in Germany in the hope that people
:22:12. > :22:15.will realise they have one of the missing panels. He says every
:22:15. > :22:25.picture will tell its own story but each will relate to the centre
:22:25. > :22:27.
:22:27. > :22:31.panel. Well, this centre fragment effectively represents everything
:22:31. > :22:36.that Koelz was against. The death and destruction of war, the
:22:36. > :22:41.futility of the soldiers going to fight, with the dead soldier being
:22:41. > :22:46.represented by the size of the skull, the worm, the Iron Cross,
:22:46. > :22:51.the highest award for bravery but useless in the face of death. A
:22:51. > :22:56.water bottle with a bullet Hall. The precious water, leaking away to
:22:56. > :23:03.nothing, so everything you see here shows the futility of war and,
:23:03. > :23:07.ultimately, death. The colour is matched as closely as I can get it
:23:07. > :23:09.and a little bit of light put across it so it doesn't look flat.
:23:09. > :23:11.Armed with Simon Lake's reconstruction, and using the
:23:11. > :23:18.latest technology, graphic artist Daryl Joyce has gone one stage
:23:18. > :23:22.further. He's recreated the painting in full colour. It's the
:23:22. > :23:32.first time since 1937 that we can see what the original may have
:23:32. > :23:35.
:23:35. > :23:39.looked like. Because the images are not great quality, we have got a
:23:39. > :23:43.few sections that are slightly clearer, but the blown-up version
:23:43. > :23:48.is very out-of-focus and just to see it in colour does sort of bring
:23:48. > :23:53.it all together. Ava is in her 77th year. She knows she doesn't have
:23:53. > :23:58.long left to reassemble her father's masterpiece. I am not
:23:58. > :24:01.going to be around forever, and I feel energetic enough to pursue it
:24:01. > :24:06.now but I don't know there is anybody that would pursue it in the

:24:15. > :24:23.their lives in order, I suppose, for us now to be safe. But it is a
:24:23. > :24:27.total statement which says more solves nothing. -- wall solves
:24:27. > :24:30.nothing. The painting was inspired by the horrors of the First World
:24:30. > :24:33.War and the suffering experienced by the young Matthaeus Koelz. He
:24:33. > :24:35.was left distraught by the death of his brother. He salvaged an
:24:35. > :24:41.epaulette from his brother's uniform and used it to powerful
:24:41. > :24:51.effect in the painting. Koelz's philosophy was summed by the title
:24:51. > :24:53.
:24:53. > :24:59.he gave the triptych: Du Sollst Nicht Toeten. Thou Shalt Not Kill.
:24:59. > :25:03.It is an emotive painting, and for me, a course, the centre panel is
:25:03. > :25:08.the part with the most impact, because you are looking at the
:25:08. > :25:13.Western Front, you are looking at dead individuals. You are looking
:25:13. > :25:17.at a German soldier crucified, and that is what he believed. He
:25:17. > :25:19.believed soldiers, whatever nationality, were being crucified.
:25:19. > :25:23.Koelz was awarded the Iron Cross, Germany's highest honour, after he
:25:23. > :25:29.was buried alive and risked his life to rescue several comrades.
:25:29. > :25:33.And decades later, that heroic act was to save his life. After the war,
:25:33. > :25:41.Koelz became a pacifist. He knew the subject of his painting would
:25:41. > :25:45.anger the Nazis, so he kept it hidden. Had it been exhibited, it
:25:45. > :25:49.would have had an in century impact of the audience that would have
:25:49. > :25:52.seen it, because people would have been able to read what he was
:25:52. > :25:57.saying. As one of Germany's best known artists, Koelz was
:25:57. > :26:00.commissioned to paint Adolf Hitler. He was asked to dress in the
:26:00. > :26:05.uniform of the brownshirts during the sitting so that a propaganda
:26:05. > :26:10.photograph could be taken of the two together. Koelz refused and was
:26:10. > :26:13.taken at gunpoint to be interviewed by a member of the SS. But,
:26:13. > :26:18.incredibly, his interrogator recognized him. He was one of
:26:18. > :26:24.Koelz's First World War comrades. And the artist had saved his life.
:26:24. > :26:34.Now it was time to repay the debt. Koelz wrote about the drama in his
:26:34. > :26:35.
:26:35. > :26:42.diary. I chose flight. I had 48 hours' grace. Given to me by a man
:26:42. > :26:47.who remembered the common suffering in the health the field and his
:26:47. > :26:52.loyalty from -- to the old comrade from the trenches exceeded his
:26:52. > :26:55.loyalty to his new masters. Koelz was able to carry only one panel in
:26:55. > :26:57.his rucksack as he, his wife, Claire, his daughter, Ava, and son,
:26:57. > :27:02.Siegfried, escaped through the mountains into Austria. They
:27:02. > :27:09.eventually made their way to England. Ava is convinced most of
:27:09. > :27:15.the painting, if not all of it, is out there in Germany and Poland.
:27:15. > :27:19.could photograph it, measure it, but not necessarily... We don't
:27:19. > :27:23.want it necessary here, but we want information from it, and it would
:27:23. > :27:25.be fantastic to find out where it had been. Art historians say
:27:25. > :27:31.reuniting the fragments would highlight not just the brilliance
:27:31. > :27:37.of the painting but also the bravery and relevance of the artist.
:27:37. > :27:41.We see it all about us, on our television screens, those heroic
:27:41. > :27:47.people that go on the streets on Friday in Syria, the people
:27:48. > :27:52.fighting in Libya, and people, like Koelz, who found they could no
:27:52. > :28:02.longer live in a world where you have to say yes to the powers that
:28:02. > :28:05.be. Cher Lloyd can be costly. -- saying no can be costly. The re-
:28:05. > :28:08.colouring of the painting has given Ava's search a fresh impetus. She
:28:08. > :28:11.is thrilled the world can at long last see the masterpiece which
:28:12. > :28:15.almost cost her father his life. And she hopes that his vision will

:28:22. > :28:26.cannot fail to make you feel quite deeply about what happened in those
:28:26. > :28:30.years and it is important to remember it is all those things,
:28:30. > :28:33.they are happening now. Amazing to think those missing
