Good evening, welcome to the BBC News at Six. The jobless total in

:01:48.:01:52.

Britain has gone up by tens of thousands, reaching 2.67 million by

:01:52.:01:55.

the end of last year. The official figures show that most of the newly

:01:55.:01:57.

unemployed are women. As unemployment rises it's becoming

:01:57.:02:01.

clear there is a North-South divide with people in the north of England

:02:01.:02:04.

finding it hardest to get jobs. Our chief economics correspondent Hugh

:02:04.:02:12.

Pym is in Salford for us now. Unemployment is up again and we

:02:12.:02:15.

also have more evidence of insecurity amongst people in work.

:02:15.:02:19.

We have reached the highest level since records began of people

:02:20.:02:24.

working part-time who would prefer to be full-time. Both here in

:02:24.:02:28.

Manchester and the -- in Salford and the Greater Manchester area, I

:02:28.:02:32.

found that more about people trying to get a foothold in the job market.

:02:33.:02:39.

-- found out more. Manchester is an area where the unemployment rate is

:02:39.:02:42.

above 9% of the work force and there has been the fastest increase

:02:42.:02:49.

in the UK. The jobless total has gone up by more than 150 per day.

:02:49.:02:53.

It has been incredibly demotivated. The number of women out of work is

:02:53.:02:58.

rising faster than men, and Tammy's experience underlines it. She has

:02:58.:03:07.

been unemployed for the last year. It has been 12 months. You just

:03:07.:03:13.

have to keep going. There is no alternative. You cannot just give

:03:13.:03:20.

up, certainly not somebody at my age. I am not ready to. Breaking

:03:20.:03:24.

down of the UK unemployment figures there is a clear North-South divide.

:03:24.:03:28.

The darker shades show higher jobless rate and the lighter, a

:03:28.:03:32.

smaller percentage out of work. The lowest is in the south-west of

:03:32.:03:36.

England, a rate of 6.1%. The highest, in the north-east of

:03:36.:03:43.

England, at 11.2%. Youth unemployment is still on the

:03:43.:03:46.

increase, Simon qualified as a bricklayer a few years ago but

:03:46.:03:49.

because of the housing market slump has not managed to find building

:03:49.:03:54.

work. He has had occasional casual jobs but the search for full-time

:03:54.:04:00.

work has revealed nothing. frustrating. I would rather get a

:04:00.:04:04.

phone call saying you have not been successful rather than no phone

:04:04.:04:11.

call -- it is frustrating. I dream I have got the job, then they don't

:04:11.:04:17.

phone you and you are gutted. Simon took part in a studio debate

:04:17.:04:22.

on BBC Radio 5 Live along with others out of work. Mike, one of

:04:22.:04:25.

them, has postgraduate qualifications. He lost his job in

:04:25.:04:32.

marketing and nothing has come his way. I feel humiliated. I feel like

:04:32.:04:41.

it is... Like it is my fault. I'm getting emotional. There are many

:04:41.:04:45.

initiatives to tackle unemployment. Prince Charles launched a new one

:04:45.:04:48.

today, his Prince's Trust will recruit 100 young people to help

:04:48.:04:53.

others looking for work. So often people have no idea what is

:04:53.:04:57.

available out there. We hope to be able to connect them to businesses

:04:57.:05:02.

and other companies, people needing skills they cannot find, the key is

:05:02.:05:06.

to match these things from one to the other. Back out on the job

:05:06.:05:14.

trail, Tammy has had her interview. How did it go? It was quite good.

:05:14.:05:22.

The more you learn about the job, the more you want it. I hope I get

:05:22.:05:28.

it. Fingers crossed? Everything crossed! But she heard soon

:05:28.:05:33.

afterwards she had not got it, Tammy, like 2.6 million others,

:05:33.:05:37.

will have to keep looking. It is worth adding that unemployment is

:05:37.:05:41.

not rising quite as fast as it was and employers in some areas are

:05:41.:05:45.

still creating jobs. For example, Virgin Atlantic has said it wants

:05:45.:05:50.

to recruit 500 more cabin crew but until the economy picks up again it

:05:50.:05:56.

is hard to see unemployment falling much from where it is now.

:05:56.:06:02.

You can watch the whole of the Victoria Derbyshire debate again on

:06:02.:06:10.

The governor of the Bank of England has been giving his latest forecast

:06:10.:06:14.

for the economy. He says we face choppy waters but added that we are

:06:14.:06:17.

now less likely to go back into recession. The underlying need for

:06:17.:06:22.

a pair of balance sheets means the part of recovery is likely to be

:06:22.:06:26.

slow and uncertain -- repair of balance sheet. For much of this

:06:26.:06:31.

year there is likely to be a zigzag pattern of alternating positive and

:06:31.:06:35.

negative quarterly growth rates reflecting the additional bank

:06:35.:06:40.

holiday for the Queen's diamond jubilee. So it will be even harder

:06:40.:06:45.

than usual to interpret the official estimates of growth.

:06:45.:06:50.

me is our economics editor. The thing about zigzags is that they go

:06:50.:06:55.

up, then down. That is right. There was good news from the bank today.

:06:55.:07:01.

They did not cut their growth for - - growth forecast for the next year

:07:01.:07:04.

or so, and their optimistic about growth next year. And they stuck to

:07:04.:07:09.

their view that inflation will keep falling rapidly back to 2% in the

:07:09.:07:13.

second half of this year. But as you heard there, the Governor is

:07:13.:07:18.

keen to stress there are things that could go wrong. This is a long

:07:18.:07:22.

process to put this crisis behind us. There Rye limits to what the

:07:22.:07:27.

Bank of England can do to make it easier. -- there are limits. If you

:07:27.:07:30.

have a mortgage that is good news because interest rates will stay

:07:30.:07:34.

low for a while. But if you're a saver, or living on the income from

:07:34.:07:38.

savings, that is bad news. Thinking about those jobseekers I'm afraid

:07:38.:07:48.

it is bad news for them because A 13-year-old girl has been fatally

:07:48.:07:51.

stabbed in a park in Doncaster. Casey Kearney made a desperate call

:07:51.:07:53.

to the emergency services before dying later in hospital. South

:07:53.:07:56.

Yorkshire police have launched a murder inquiry and are now

:07:56.:08:06.
:08:06.:08:08.

questioning a 26-year-old woman. This is Casey Kearney. She was left

:08:08.:08:13.

with a fatal stab wound up in a town centre Park in broad daylight

:08:13.:08:19.

yesterday lunchtime. Today the area was searched in detail after what

:08:19.:08:26.

police say was a random, isolated attack. It was reported by the 13-

:08:26.:08:31.

year-old herself. At 18 minutes past one yesterday a call was

:08:31.:08:34.

received through the South Yorkshire police switchboard from

:08:34.:08:39.

Casey herself to say she had been stabbed. John was one of the first

:08:39.:08:44.

people to find Casey, lying injured next to a children's playground

:08:44.:08:49.

after being alerted by his son. went to play on the Park and he

:08:49.:08:54.

turned round and said he had seen a lady on her knees leaning forwards

:08:54.:08:58.

as if she was trying to find something in a bag. Then she fell

:08:58.:09:04.

forwards. Police say Casey got off the number 55 bus to walk through

:09:04.:09:08.

the Park to meet her friend. But somewhere between here and the

:09:09.:09:12.

children's playground in the centre of the Park she was stabbed. And

:09:12.:09:16.

now there are detectives it trying to piece together the last moments

:09:16.:09:21.

of her life. One family left this message for Casey at the park

:09:22.:09:28.

gates... We found you, we tried to help you. A 26 year-old local woman

:09:28.:09:37.

has been arrested on suspicion of A huge fire has swept through a

:09:37.:09:40.

prison in the central American country of Honduras. The

:09:40.:09:43.

authorities say more than 300 prisoners have died and many more

:09:43.:09:46.

are injured. It started late last night at the jail in Comayagua,

:09:46.:09:48.

north of the capital, Tegucigalpa. Officials have blamed an electrical

:09:48.:09:58.
:09:58.:10:00.

fault but Honduran press reports Greek politicians have reacted with

:10:00.:10:02.

frustration after the latest bailout for their country was put

:10:02.:10:05.

on hold. Eurozone ministers have cancelled a meeting in Brussels

:10:05.:10:07.

this evening saying Greece hadn't done everything required, including

:10:07.:10:17.
:10:17.:10:18.

a written promise that austerity measures will be implemented. �2.7

:10:18.:10:22.

billion every year, that is a much it cost the NHS to deal with

:10:22.:10:25.

alcohol abuse in England. David Cameron called it a scandal and

:10:25.:10:28.

today said that bars, supermarket and the drinks industry must do

:10:28.:10:32.

more to encourage responsible drinking. But some experts argue

:10:32.:10:36.

that the only answer is to have minimum pricing as both Scotland

:10:36.:10:44.

and Ireland have to do. -- hope to do. A night out often means an

:10:44.:10:48.

evening of alcohol. In Newcastle and other city centres across the

:10:48.:10:52.

UK pubs and clubs are the destination for drinkers, but a

:10:52.:10:56.

good time can turn bad if you do not know when to stop. I worry now

:10:56.:11:00.

because I am hung over, walking into town and I feel rubbish. The

:11:00.:11:08.

other tiny just keep drinking until you are sick, or go to bed. I would

:11:08.:11:14.

probably stop when I didn't feel well. There is no need to get

:11:14.:11:19.

wasted 247. But some people do end up wasted and the Prime Minister

:11:19.:11:22.

today met those left to clear-up the mess and he made clear he

:11:22.:11:26.

believes the problems caused by drinking are all too common.

:11:26.:11:29.

need to take action across the board. I was impressed in his

:11:29.:11:33.

hospital where there is a police officer on duty on a Thursday,

:11:33.:11:37.

Friday and Saturday night. I want to make sure local councils have

:11:37.:11:41.

the powers to close down bars if they need to. Among the other ideas,

:11:41.:11:47.

so called drunk tanks, places to hold people while they sober up and

:11:47.:11:51.

cheaper than putting them in hospital or the criminal justice

:11:51.:12:01.
:12:01.:12:02.

The government says the latest figures suggest there are around

:12:03.:12:07.

200,000 hospital admissions as a result of alcohol. The numbers give

:12:07.:12:12.

just an indication of the damage drink can do to a life. My brother

:12:12.:12:17.

died through alcoholism because of his pancreas, it gave in. Does that

:12:17.:12:21.

not make you worried? It is the middle of the afternoon and you are

:12:21.:12:25.

drinking. It is something I go through every day. Cheap alcohol is

:12:25.:12:28.

seen as part of the problem. Ministers in Scotland and Northern

:12:28.:12:32.

Ireland are working on plans for the minimum pricing of alcohol.

:12:32.:12:36.

David Cameron is still looking at the issue. There have been many

:12:36.:12:40.

campaigns warning of the dangers of drinking too much. But by the time

:12:40.:12:44.

somebody arrives in a department like this one, they are already

:12:44.:12:50.

feeling the effect of alcohol. is the problem, this is a bit after

:12:50.:12:54.

the event and we are dealing with the consequences of binge drinking

:12:54.:12:57.

rather than the problem itself. Figures suggest that as a nation we

:12:57.:13:02.

are drinking less but it is the culture of binge drinking that is

:13:02.:13:12.
:13:12.:13:12.

Our top story tonight... A North- South divide as the jobless count

:13:12.:13:15.

goes up by nearly 50,000. The unemployed total is now over 2.6

:13:15.:13:22.

million. Coming up... A new controversial and gritty look at

:13:22.:13:31.

the Bosnian war. You know these people sitting here will be

:13:31.:13:38.

reminded of the most painful time in their lives. Will they feel

:13:38.:13:48.
:13:48.:13:49.

comfortable with this? Embrace it, We'll have the market reaction, and

:13:49.:13:59.
:13:59.:14:00.

why it may become a lot cheaper to As the economy struggles and

:14:01.:14:03.

families face hard times, there's growing evidence that more and more

:14:03.:14:07.

people are turning to loan sharks. In fact the number has more than

:14:07.:14:10.

doubled in the past five years. Often, that's when their problems

:14:10.:14:13.

get worse - facing crippling interest rates from these illegal

:14:13.:14:23.
:14:23.:14:23.

money lenders. Anna Adams has this special report. Life is getting

:14:23.:14:28.

harder on Britain's estates. It's the cost of the basic things - food

:14:28.:14:34.

and fuel - tipping many families into poverty. And with so little

:14:34.:14:38.

room for manoeuvre more people are turning to illegal loan sharks.

:14:38.:14:42.

This victim would only speak anonymously. She had to borrow �200

:14:42.:14:47.

after her husband lost his job. She ended up paying more than �3 ,000

:14:47.:14:51.

back. On one particular day he found me coming through the front

:14:51.:14:58.

door and he followed me into my house. Started threatening me. He

:14:58.:15:05.

had another big guy with him. This big guy got hold of my hand and

:15:05.:15:13.

took my wedding ring and engagement ring off my finger. That is payment

:15:13.:15:20.

for today, I will be back on Wednesday for some cash. And he got

:15:20.:15:26.

me by the throat and told me if I wasn't in on Wednesday he was going

:15:26.:15:32.

to kill me dogs. He was jailed for four years. We persuaded another

:15:32.:15:37.

loan shark in south-east London to talk to us. He loaned out more than

:15:37.:15:41.

�80,000 last year and says he has more than doubled his money. These

:15:41.:15:46.

loans are illegal, so he has insisted on hiding his face.

:15:46.:15:52.

take tellies, kids' computers, log books for cars and then the cars.

:15:52.:15:56.

Most of the time it don't come to violence, you know what I mean?

:15:56.:16:01.

They know to pay up and it gets paid. And what if it has to resort

:16:01.:16:05.

to violence? Well, these things have happened, you know what I

:16:05.:16:09.

mean? You always get the money in the end. They get a little slap and

:16:09.:16:15.

that and they come one the money. Did you feel bad when you see they

:16:15.:16:18.

are terrified? They shouldn't have took the loans out, should they?

:16:18.:16:22.

They knew the loan rules at the beginning. These people say their

:16:22.:16:26.

daily life is guaranteeding hardered and harder. Almost

:16:26.:16:30.

everyone knows someone who has had to use a loan shark. If you live on

:16:30.:16:36.

an estate like this, it might be your only option. More than 300,000

:16:36.:16:40.

families in Britain are in debt to illegal lenders. Police are taking

:16:40.:16:46.

a hard line. This is one of four co-ordinated raids across Salford.

:16:46.:16:51.

We've had examples where loan sharks have appeared with children,

:16:51.:16:55.

they've walked them home from school. It must be so frightening

:16:55.:16:59.

for a young single mum seeing the loan shark walking her children

:16:59.:17:03.

back from school, or other instances where people have been

:17:03.:17:07.

tortured and cut with a machete. These are the things we are seeing

:17:07.:17:10.

in today's society. This raid resulted in three arrests in

:17:11.:17:14.

Salford, but where legal credit is still so hard to come by the loan

:17:14.:17:19.

sharks will continue to fill the void.

:17:19.:17:22.

Police are questioning a 43-year- old man in connection with the

:17:22.:17:25.

murder of an Anglican vicar. The Reverend John Suddards was found

:17:25.:17:28.

dead inside his vicarage in Thornbury near Bristol yesterday.

:17:28.:17:38.
:17:38.:17:38.

He suffered multiple knife wounds. Jon Kay is there. On the face of it

:17:38.:17:44.

you would expect the job of parish priest here to be a safe one. It is

:17:44.:17:47.

an affluent area with little crime. There's even a castle next door to

:17:47.:17:52.

the church, but the vicar was found here stabbed to death inside his

:17:52.:17:57.

vicarage just down this lane. Reverend John Suddards moved to

:17:57.:18:04.

this rural parish last summer in search of a quiet life. His death

:18:04.:18:08.

has been anything but the. His body was found inside the vicarage by

:18:08.:18:15.

builders who were due to start work. He had suffered multiple stab

:18:15.:18:18.

wounds. This afternoon the police flanked by senior members of the

:18:18.:18:23.

clergy revealed that a 43-year-old man had been arrested. They asked

:18:23.:18:27.

for information about the vicar's work and about his personal life.

:18:27.:18:32.

Who visited him? Who were the people that he associated with, and

:18:32.:18:38.

in particular, I'm keen to speak to anybody who saw the Reverend after

:18:38.:18:43.

12.30pm on Monday. The police they don't know much about the Reverend

:18:43.:18:47.

Suddards because he only moved here a few months ago. Until then he had

:18:47.:18:51.

worked in Essex, where he was filmed by the BBC. His career was

:18:51.:18:56.

unusual, originally a barrister he decided to join the clergy after a

:18:56.:19:06.
:19:06.:19:07.

car crash. Today members of his new congregation gathered to express

:19:07.:19:10.

their sadness. Thornbury is a small Gloucestershire market town with

:19:10.:19:14.

very little crime. And parishoners were clearly shocked by what has

:19:14.:19:19.

happened to a man they say was a much-loved member of their

:19:19.:19:25.

community. Very, very sad. Lots of prayers. Difficult to believe first

:19:25.:19:32.

of all. A shock, but die feel bad. He was such a nice man. I shook his

:19:32.:19:37.

hand on Sunday morning. Tonight the forensic search continues, both

:19:37.:19:43.

around St Mary's vicarage and close to the historic Thornbury Castle

:19:43.:19:48.

just 100 yards away. The Bishop of Gloucester is here tonight to try

:19:48.:19:52.

to reassure this community. He said this case was a reminder of just

:19:52.:19:58.

how vulnerable members of the clergy can sometimes be. He came to

:19:58.:20:02.

power pledging to change his country for good, but five year on

:20:02.:20:08.

France's President, Nicolas Sarkozy, is facing a tough challenge if he

:20:08.:20:12.

is to win a second term in office. Within the next hour he will

:20:12.:20:19.

formally announce he will stand for re-election, but he has a fight on

:20:19.:20:25.

his hands. Nicolas Sarkozy, impulsive and hyperactive. He is

:20:25.:20:27.

expected to announce this evening that he is standing for a second

:20:28.:20:32.

term. He faces an immense challenge. No candidate has been to far behind

:20:32.:20:38.

in the polls, so close to a French election and won. His popularity

:20:38.:20:43.

has waned. He married a supermodel, Carla Bruni, but the French people

:20:43.:20:47.

saw a leader who they thought enjoyed the lifestyle of the rich

:20:47.:20:54.

and famous too much. He doesn't behave in the classic cal way.

:20:54.:21:00.

That's why he looks too flashy, too bling-bling was the expression,

:21:00.:21:09.

some would say too vulgar. To get to the el Lizzie he has sold

:21:09.:21:14.

himself -- Elysee he has told himself as being the insider. But

:21:14.:21:20.

in the end the reforms have been modest. Yes, pensions were reformed,

:21:20.:21:24.

but the economy stalled. Unemployment recognise and France

:21:24.:21:31.

lost its treasured AAA credit rating. He has had some success

:21:31.:21:37.

internationally. Most notingly over Libya, but he's been notoriously

:21:37.:21:42.

short tempered, even with allies, like David Cameron. For the moment

:21:42.:21:46.

the socialist candidate is ahead in the polls, and his supporters want

:21:46.:21:52.

to make the election a referendum on Nicolas Sarkozy's time in power.

front of the camera but now Angelina Jolie has chosen a

:22:35.:22:39.

controversial and gritty subject for her first film as director. Set

:22:39.:22:44.

against the backdrop of the Bosnian war, In The Land Of Blood And Honey

:22:44.:22:50.

tells the story of a romance between a Bosnian Serb man and a

:22:50.:22:53.

Bosnian Muslim woman. Allan Little has been talking to Angelina Jolie

:22:53.:22:58.

about why the film's been so divisive. For 40 months these

:22:58.:23:06.

streets were besieged and bombarded. The memory is raw and everpresent.

:23:06.:23:12.

20 years on Sarajevo still wants its story told. It has found an

unlikely new champion. The demand for tickets was enormous, so they

moved the screening to an Olympic sports stadium. This is not an easy

:23:25.:23:30.

film. It depicts in bleak and chilling detail the brutal forced

:23:30.:23:36.

removals of non-Serbs, the so- called "ethnic cleansing". At its

:23:36.:23:41.

heart there's a doomed love story across the ethnic divide. Many left

feeling the Bosnia's story had been told at least, in unsparing honesty.

Everybody who was here in Sarajevo knows what's happened and there are

hundreds of stories like this. was here during this war and I feel

:24:02.:24:08.

this very deep. The movie is very good and I'm very glad that she

:24:08.:24:13.

made it. Angelina Jolie wrote the script herself. She had been

:24:13.:24:17.

nervous about how Bosnians would react. You know these people

:24:17.:24:22.

sitting here are going to be reminded of the most painful time

:24:23.:24:28.

in their lives. Will they feel comfortable with this? Will they

:24:28.:24:33.

embrace it? Will they be upset? I don't know. I was terrified. I was

:24:33.:24:41.

terrified. And then when they stood up, I... I just wanted to cry.

:24:41.:24:47.

the divisions imposed remain. Go to the Serb half of the country and

:24:48.:24:53.

you enter a parallel universe. Angelina Jolie is not welcome here.

was not balanced. The war was not balanced, she said. People who said

it should be 50-50, I don't understand that. They are looking

:25:20.:25:24.

for a balance that did not exist. They don't want to see these

:25:24.:25:29.

atrocities. They don't want to be reminded of these atrocities. Some

:25:29.:25:34.

people want to deny that it even happened. And those people will be

:25:34.:25:40.

angry. Outside the stadium there's a starkly poignant place. 20 years

:25:40.:25:47.

ago it was a playing field. In 1992 it became a cemetery. We came to a

:25:47.:25:51.

lot of funerals here during the war. They happened every day, but the

:25:51.:25:54.

cemetery itself was exposed to shell and sniper fire from the

:25:54.:25:58.

hills around, so families would come and bury their dead quickly

:25:58.:26:03.

and say a prayer, then hurry off too find safety. By the time the

:26:03.:26:11.

war ended this place was full and 12,500 Sarajevans were dead.

painful past. painful past.

:26:29.:26:33.

Snow in Bosnia. What about here? Spring-like, 13 degrees in parts of

:26:33.:26:37.

south-east Scotland today. There isn't a lot going on weather-wise.

:26:37.:26:41.

It will turn wet across the north- west of Scotland overnight. The odd

:26:41.:26:47.

spot of rain in eastern England will clear away. Where the skies

:26:47.:26:53.

stay clear, maybe a touch of frost. Nothing too drastic. Tomorrow most

:26:53.:26:59.

places will start dry and stay that way. Mild in many parts of the UK.

:26:59.:27:03.

The best of sunshine in England and Wales. That cloud and rain will

:27:03.:27:09.

edge southwards through Scotland. Into Northern Ireland, it will turn

:27:09.:27:12.

damp. Cumbria and eventually parts of Snowdonia perhaps. To the north

:27:12.:27:17.

of that, things improve. To the south of that it stays reasonable

:27:17.:27:22.

through most of the day. I'm not ruling out the odd shower in Wales

:27:22.:27:26.

and western England. Up into double figures in many places. And the

:27:26.:27:31.

breeze not too strong. Damper in north-west England, Northern

:27:31.:27:35.

Ireland, south-west Scotland. From the central belt northwards it will

:27:35.:27:37.

improve, with sunshine to end the day.

:27:37.:27:41.

Friday - that weather front is still there. It is across parts of

:27:41.:27:45.

Wales, maybe the South West, dribs and drabs really. Many places will

:27:45.:27:49.

be dry and mild as we end the working week. And then a bit of a

:27:49.:27:53.

change as we hit the weekend. This weather front gets a kick up the

:27:53.:27:58.

backside from another one from the north. Both fronts head southwards.

:27:58.:28:02.

Heavy rain pushing across England and Wales as we go through Saturday.

:28:02.:28:06.

An important dividing line between the mild air in the south and

:28:06.:28:11.

something colder in the north. The cold air will win. It won't be as

:28:11.:28:17.

cold as it has been. cold as it has been.
