:01:52. > :01:55.Britain has gone up by tens of thousands, reaching 2.67 million by
:01:55. > :01:57.the end of last year. The official figures show that most of the newly
:01:57. > :02:01.unemployed are women. As unemployment rises it's becoming
:02:01. > :02:04.clear there is a North-South divide with people in the north of England
:02:04. > :02:12.finding it hardest to get jobs. Our chief economics correspondent Hugh
:02:12. > :02:15.Pym is in Salford for us now. Unemployment is up again and we
:02:15. > :02:19.also have more evidence of insecurity amongst people in work.
:02:20. > :02:24.We have reached the highest level since records began of people
:02:24. > :02:28.working part-time who would prefer to be full-time. Both here in

:02:42. > :02:49.above 9% of the work force and there has been the fastest increase
:02:49. > :02:53.in the UK. The jobless total has gone up by more than 150 per day.
:02:53. > :02:58.It has been incredibly demotivated. The number of women out of work is
:02:58. > :03:07.rising faster than men, and Tammy's experience underlines it. She has

:03:20. > :03:24.up, certainly not somebody at my age. I am not ready to. Breaking
:03:24. > :03:28.down of the UK unemployment figures there is a clear North-South divide.
:03:28. > :03:32.The darker shades show higher jobless rate and the lighter, a
:03:32. > :03:36.smaller percentage out of work. The lowest is in the south-west of

:04:04. > :04:11.phone call saying you have not been successful rather than no phone
:04:11. > :04:17.call -- it is frustrating. I dream I have got the job, then they don't
:04:17. > :04:22.phone you and you are gutted. Simon took part in a studio debate
:04:22. > :04:25.on BBC Radio 5 Live along with others out of work. Mike, one of
:04:25. > :04:32.them, has postgraduate qualifications. He lost his job in
:04:32. > :04:41.marketing and nothing has come his way. I feel humiliated. I feel like
:04:41. > :04:45.it is... Like it is my fault. I'm getting emotional. There are many
:04:45. > :04:48.initiatives to tackle unemployment. Prince Charles launched a new one
:04:48. > :04:53.today, his Prince's Trust will recruit 100 young people to help
:04:53. > :04:57.others looking for work. So often people have no idea what is
:04:57. > :05:02.available out there. We hope to be able to connect them to businesses
:05:02. > :05:06.and other companies, people needing skills they cannot find, the key is
:05:06. > :05:14.to match these things from one to the other. Back out on the job
:05:14. > :05:22.trail, Tammy has had her interview. How did it go? It was quite good.
:05:22. > :05:28.The more you learn about the job, the more you want it. I hope I get
:05:28. > :05:33.it. Fingers crossed? Everything crossed! But she heard soon
:05:33. > :05:37.afterwards she had not got it, Tammy, like 2.6 million others,
:05:37. > :05:41.will have to keep looking. It is worth adding that unemployment is
:05:41. > :05:45.not rising quite as fast as it was and employers in some areas are
:05:45. > :05:50.still creating jobs. For example, Virgin Atlantic has said it wants
:05:50. > :05:56.to recruit 500 more cabin crew but until the economy picks up again it
:05:56. > :06:02.is hard to see unemployment falling much from where it is now.

:06:14. > :06:17.for the economy. He says we face choppy waters but added that we are
:06:17. > :06:22.now less likely to go back into recession. The underlying need for
:06:22. > :06:26.a pair of balance sheets means the part of recovery is likely to be
:06:26. > :06:31.slow and uncertain -- repair of balance sheet. For much of this
:06:31. > :06:35.year there is likely to be a zigzag pattern of alternating positive and
:06:35. > :06:40.negative quarterly growth rates reflecting the additional bank
:06:40. > :06:45.holiday for the Queen's diamond jubilee. So it will be even harder
:06:45. > :06:50.than usual to interpret the official estimates of growth.
:06:50. > :06:55.me is our economics editor. The thing about zigzags is that they go
:06:55. > :07:01.up, then down. That is right. There was good news from the bank today.
:07:01. > :07:04.They did not cut their growth for - - growth forecast for the next year

:07:09. > :07:13.their view that inflation will keep falling rapidly back to 2% in the
:07:13. > :07:18.second half of this year. But as you heard there, the Governor is
:07:18. > :07:22.keen to stress there are things that could go wrong. This is a long
:07:22. > :07:27.process to put this crisis behind us. There Rye limits to what the
:07:27. > :07:30.Bank of England can do to make it easier. -- there are limits. If you
:07:30. > :07:34.have a mortgage that is good news because interest rates will stay
:07:34. > :07:38.low for a while. But if you're a saver, or living on the income from
:07:38. > :07:48.savings, that is bad news. Thinking about those jobseekers I'm afraid
:07:48. > :07:51.it is bad news for them because A 13-year-old girl has been fatally

:18:47. > :18:51.Suddards because he only moved here a few months ago. Until then he had
:18:51. > :18:56.worked in Essex, where he was filmed by the BBC. His career was

:19:06. > :19:07.
:19:07. > :19:10.car crash. Today members of his new congregation gathered to express
:19:10. > :19:14.their sadness. Thornbury is a small Gloucestershire market town with
:19:14. > :19:19.very little crime. And parishoners were clearly shocked by what has
:19:19. > :19:25.happened to a man they say was a much-loved member of their
:19:25. > :19:32.community. Very, very sad. Lots of prayers. Difficult to believe first
:19:32. > :19:37.of all. A shock, but die feel bad. He was such a nice man. I shook his

:21:00. > :21:09.That's why he looks too flashy, too bling-bling was the expression,

:21:14. > :21:20.himself -- Elysee he has told himself as being the insider. But
:21:20. > :21:24.in the end the reforms have been modest. Yes, pensions were reformed,

:21:31. > :21:37.lost its treasured AAA credit rating. He has had some success
:21:37. > :21:42.internationally. Most notingly over Libya, but he's been notoriously
:21:42. > :21:46.short tempered, even with allies, like David Cameron. For the moment
:21:46. > :21:52.the socialist candidate is ahead in the polls, and his supporters want

:22:35. > :22:39.front of the camera but now Angelina Jolie has chosen a
:22:39. > :22:44.controversial and gritty subject for her first film as director. Set
:22:44. > :22:50.against the backdrop of the Bosnian war, In The Land Of Blood And Honey
:22:50. > :22:53.tells the story of a romance between a Bosnian Serb man and a
:22:53. > :22:58.Bosnian Muslim woman. Allan Little has been talking to Angelina Jolie
:22:58. > :23:06.about why the film's been so divisive. For 40 months these

:23:25. > :23:30.moved the screening to an Olympic sports stadium. This is not an easy
:23:30. > :23:36.film. It depicts in bleak and chilling detail the brutal forced
:23:36. > :23:41.removals of non-Serbs, the so- called "ethnic cleansing". At its
:23:41. > :23:47.heart there's a doomed love story across the ethnic divide. Many left
:23:47. > :23:54.feeling the Bosnia's story had been told at least, in unsparing honesty.

:24:08. > :24:13.this very deep. The movie is very good and I'm very glad that she
:24:13. > :24:17.made it. Angelina Jolie wrote the script herself. She had been
:24:17. > :24:22.nervous about how Bosnians would react. You know these people
:24:23. > :24:28.sitting here are going to be reminded of the most painful time
:24:28. > :24:33.in their lives. Will they feel comfortable with this? Will they
:24:33. > :24:41.embrace it? Will they be upset? I don't know. I was terrified. I was
:24:41. > :24:47.terrified. And then when they stood up, I... I just wanted to cry.
:24:48. > :24:53.the divisions imposed remain. Go to the Serb half of the country and
:24:53. > :24:57.you enter a parallel universe. Angelina Jolie is not welcome here.
:24:57. > :25:06.TRANSLATION: Serbs have ner denied that crimes were committed. But by

:25:17. > :25:20.was not balanced. The war was not balanced, she said. People who said
:25:20. > :25:24.it should be 50-50, I don't understand that. They are looking
:25:24. > :25:29.for a balance that did not exist. They don't want to see these
:25:29. > :25:34.atrocities. They don't want to be reminded of these atrocities. Some
:25:34. > :25:40.people want to deny that it even happened. And those people will be
:25:40. > :25:47.angry. Outside the stadium there's a starkly poignant place. 20 years
:25:47. > :25:51.ago it was a playing field. In 1992 it became a cemetery. We came to a
:25:51. > :25:54.lot of funerals here during the war. They happened every day, but the
:25:54. > :25:58.cemetery itself was exposed to shell and sniper fire from the
:25:58. > :26:03.hills around, so families would come and bury their dead quickly
:26:03. > :26:11.and say a prayer, then hurry off too find safety. By the time the
:26:11. > :26:16.war ended this place was full and 12,500 Sarajevans were dead.

:26:29. > :26:33.painful past. painful past.
:26:33. > :26:37.Snow in Bosnia. What about here? Spring-like, 13 degrees in parts of
:26:37. > :26:41.south-east Scotland today. There isn't a lot going on weather-wise.
:26:41. > :26:47.It will turn wet across the north- west of Scotland overnight. The odd
:26:47. > :26:53.spot of rain in eastern England will clear away. Where the skies
:26:53. > :26:59.stay clear, maybe a touch of frost. Nothing too drastic. Tomorrow most
:26:59. > :27:03.places will start dry and stay that way. Mild in many parts of the UK.
:27:03. > :27:09.The best of sunshine in England and Wales. That cloud and rain will
:27:09. > :27:12.edge southwards through Scotland. Into Northern Ireland, it will turn
:27:12. > :27:17.damp. Cumbria and eventually parts of Snowdonia perhaps. To the north
:27:17. > :27:22.of that, things improve. To the south of that it stays reasonable
:27:22. > :27:26.through most of the day. I'm not ruling out the odd shower in Wales
:27:26. > :27:31.and western England. Up into double figures in many places. And the
:27:31. > :27:35.breeze not too strong. Damper in north-west England, Northern
:27:35. > :27:37.Ireland, south-west Scotland. From the central belt northwards it will
:27:37. > :27:41.improve, with sunshine to end the day.
:27:41. > :27:45.Friday - that weather front is still there. It is across parts of
:27:45. > :27:49.Wales, maybe the South West, dribs and drabs really. Many places will
:27:49. > :27:53.be dry and mild as we end the working week. And then a bit of a
:27:53. > :27:58.change as we hit the weekend. This weather front gets a kick up the
:27:58. > :28:02.backside from another one from the north. Both fronts head southwards.
:28:02. > :28:06.Heavy rain pushing across England and Wales as we go through Saturday.
:28:06. > :28:11.An important dividing line between the mild air in the south and
:28:11. > :28:17.something colder in the north. The cold air will win. It won't be as
:28:17. > :28:21.cold as it has been. cold as it has been.
