:00:02. > :00:06.This is is East Midlands Today, with Dominic Heale and me, Kylie
:00:06. > :00:15.Pentelow. Our top story tonight: More young people join the queue
:00:15. > :00:19.for jobs. I will be reporting from the town with the unwanted
:00:19. > :00:23.reputation of being the toughest in the country for young people to get
:00:23. > :00:29.a job. Also, why at Leicester's elected
:00:29. > :00:33.mayor is in line for a �44,000 pay rise.
:00:33. > :00:39.Plus, while these guys are learning about literacy here, their mothers
:00:39. > :00:49.are having their lessons next door. And why this stylish Stilton is
:00:49. > :00:51.
:00:52. > :00:55.putting the Midas touch into meal Good evening and welcome to
:00:55. > :00:59.Wednesday's programme. First tonight, there's been a steep rise
:00:59. > :01:03.in the number of young people out of work here in the East Midlands.
:01:03. > :01:06.But that headline doesn't tell the whole story. The latest jobs
:01:06. > :01:13.figures suggest that our region is bucking the national trend, with no
:01:13. > :01:16.increase in overall unemployment. Let's get more on this now from our
:01:16. > :01:22.political Editor, John Hess, who's in Kirkby, in Ashfield, for us
:01:22. > :01:25.tonight. I'm inside the offices of Connexions in Kirkby, in Ashfield.
:01:25. > :01:29.This is where young adults can get advice on skills training, to help
:01:29. > :01:37.get them into work. But this area of Nottinghamshire is also one of
:01:38. > :01:43.the toughest areas in the country for young people to find a job.
:01:43. > :01:48.The search for a job stars here. Amie and Ricky want to learn, so
:01:48. > :01:53.they have come to this employment advice centre in Ashfield. I have
:01:53. > :01:58.been looking for any job for about six months. Anything. Office work,
:01:58. > :02:08.retail. With my sort of degree, the best sector would be the public
:02:08. > :02:08.
:02:08. > :02:12.sector, but with budget cuts, it is even harder. There are now around
:02:12. > :02:19.187,000 at people out of work in the East Midlands. The number of
:02:19. > :02:29.young people is 34,000, up 16% on this time last year. Ashfield also
:02:29. > :02:29.
:02:29. > :02:32.had one of the highest increases in youth on employment. That is why
:02:32. > :02:39.Labour's Shadow Work and Pensions Minister, Liam Byrne, came to talk
:02:39. > :02:44.to these young workers. Introduce another tax on the banks, to create
:02:44. > :02:48.5,500 jobs, to get these people into work. If you are out of work,
:02:48. > :02:52.the longer you are out and the less experience you have, it becomes a
:02:52. > :02:56.vicious circle. Today, the Government responded by increasing
:02:56. > :03:01.the number of places on apprenticeship schemes. If my
:03:01. > :03:05.message to young people is that with the right help and support,
:03:05. > :03:10.there are opportunities for you. We having work-experience scheme which
:03:10. > :03:15.helps place people on to a work scheme. It helps them back into
:03:15. > :03:20.work, off benefits quickly after leaving the scheme, often staying
:03:21. > :03:24.with the same employer. That is the coalition hope. More intensive help
:03:24. > :03:27.to get young people into the world of work.
:03:27. > :03:29.So, John, what has the Government got in mind to get young people
:03:29. > :03:32.into work? Well, the Business Secretary, Vince Cable, today
:03:32. > :03:36.announced a cash incentive of �1,500 to help small firms recruit
:03:36. > :03:40.their first young apprentice. He reckons that might support up to
:03:40. > :03:43.20,000 new apprenticeships next year. In return, the employers will
:03:43. > :03:53.be required to offer training in maths and English up to GCSE
:03:53. > :03:55.
:03:55. > :03:58.standard. This is quite surprising. Next tonight, the row over how much
:03:59. > :04:04.we pay one of our elected mayors. Sir Peter Soulsby, the Mayor of
:04:04. > :04:07.Leicester, could be in line for a �44,000 pay rise. It comes at a
:04:07. > :04:15.time of major cutbacks in council services. From Leicester, Simon
:04:15. > :04:20.Hare reports. Leicester City Council have been
:04:20. > :04:25.due to hold a press briefing here at the Town Hall this afternoon to
:04:25. > :04:28.explain changes to how much its elected mayor and others are paid.
:04:28. > :04:34.But after this appeared in the local paper, that meeting was
:04:34. > :04:39.cancelled. We have now seen a copy of the pay proposals for ourselves,
:04:39. > :04:47.put forward by an independent panel. They say Peter Soulsby's salary
:04:47. > :04:51.should rise from �56,000 a year to �100,000. The mayor is responsible
:04:51. > :04:56.for 16,000 employees who have �1 billion a year in budget and look
:04:56. > :05:00.after 300,000 people. On that basis, we believe that it is an
:05:00. > :05:04.appropriate salary. All of the people of the city are being told
:05:04. > :05:09.their services are going to be cut. We are in a very difficult
:05:09. > :05:13.situation but this just shows we are not all in it together. Earlier
:05:13. > :05:23.this year, Peter Soulsby talked to East Midlands today about his
:05:23. > :05:25.
:05:25. > :05:28.salary. Will some of your -- that salary come to you? The commitment
:05:28. > :05:32.time made during the election campaign and that I have repeated
:05:32. > :05:36.made times since is that this is about making significant savings,
:05:36. > :05:41.not just in the senior executive salary, but making sure their
:05:41. > :05:44.savings go back to where they belong in frontline services. If
:05:44. > :05:49.tonight, Peter Soulsby said the issue of his pay would now not be
:05:49. > :05:53.discussed at a meeting of councillors next week. In order for
:05:53. > :05:59.the new -- renumeration panel to explain their proposals further.
:06:00. > :06:06.Still to come on the programme, Pearson at the King Power Stadium.
:06:06. > :06:11.It was quite a long courtship. We'll be talking to the new manager
:06:12. > :06:17.of Leicester City later. And we are waiting to see what the
:06:17. > :06:19.sunshine will do. Find out more later.
:06:19. > :06:25.Two weeks today will see the biggest strike this country has
:06:25. > :06:30.seen since 1926. 3 million public sector workers are expected to walk
:06:30. > :06:33.out over job cuts and changes to their pensions. The Government says
:06:33. > :06:39.it's made concessions, and with talks still ongoing, the action is
:06:39. > :06:41.premature and damaging. Meanwhile, at a rally in our region today, a
:06:42. > :06:51.union leader put forward an alternative to David Cameron's cuts
:06:52. > :06:57.
:06:57. > :07:01.strategy, as Quentin Rayner reports. As June strikes showed, the union's
:07:01. > :07:06.argument about pension changes are well rehearsed. There is a public
:07:06. > :07:11.sector workers will have to work longer, pay more and receive less.
:07:11. > :07:14.A lunchtime rally in Nottingham was addressed by the leader of the
:07:14. > :07:17.Public and Commercial Services Union, which has 14,000 members in
:07:17. > :07:24.the East Midlands. He told them investment in jobs and services was
:07:24. > :07:29.some ways of avoiding the cuts. alternative is that we have �123
:07:29. > :07:32.billion of a voided and evaded tax in this country, usually from
:07:32. > :07:36.corporations and rich people, and the Government should try to get
:07:36. > :07:46.that tax in rather than cutting the living standards of hard-pressed
:07:46. > :07:46.
:07:46. > :07:51.public sector workers. Between them, Ian Lawther and Wendy Turner have
:07:51. > :08:00.20 years of experience. They have calculated how much Ian will lose.
:08:00. > :08:06.I have to pay over �800 a year more and I will lose �2,600 a year more
:08:06. > :08:12.and that is because of the switch from RPI to see p 5. How do you
:08:12. > :08:18.feel about it? Absolutely horrified. It is theft. I cannot afford to
:08:18. > :08:23.lose pay but if the strike goes ahead and if these cuts go ahead, I
:08:23. > :08:25.will be losing a day's pay every day of my life.
:08:25. > :08:29.A 46-year-old detective sergeant with Nottinghamshire Police has
:08:29. > :08:34.been charged with rape. Trevor Gray is accused of raping a 43-year-old
:08:34. > :08:38.woman while he was off duty. He was suspended in July and is on police
:08:38. > :08:41.bail. He'll appear in court next Wednesday.
:08:41. > :08:47.A man is in intensive care after being overcome by gas while mixing
:08:47. > :08:50.chemicals. He was found unconscious at a house on Brighton Road, at
:08:50. > :08:53.Alvaston, in Derby last night. People were moved from 12
:08:53. > :09:03.neighbouring homes for two hours as a precaution. Enquiries are
:09:03. > :09:04.
:09:04. > :09:12.continuing into the chemicals involved.
:09:12. > :09:18.Police are advising residents near a factory fire to keep their
:09:18. > :09:28.windows and doors shut. A factory on the Draycott rolled -- Draycott
:09:28. > :09:30.road are alight. Children with disabilities who
:09:30. > :09:33.repeatedly suffer chest infections are now being offered more support
:09:33. > :09:36.at home. An award-winning project is helping 35 families across
:09:36. > :09:38.Nottinghamshire. It's said to be saving the NHS money by reducing
:09:38. > :09:43.emergency admissions. Our health correspondent, Rob Sissons, has
:09:43. > :09:48.been to meet one mother at Aspley in Nottingham.
:09:48. > :09:54.It is not a good day for Ethan. The three-year-old has complex health
:09:54. > :09:59.needs and with a poor immune system, he is prone to infections. He has a
:09:59. > :10:04.bad chest infection at the moment. These workers support mum. Now she
:10:04. > :10:08.is also being helped by a specialist physiotherapist who has
:10:08. > :10:18.trained her to use specialist kit. This machine uses positive pressure
:10:18. > :10:18.
:10:18. > :10:24.to expand his Airways and takes a negative pressure. Previously,
:10:24. > :10:29.Ethan was admitted to hospital repeatedly. Since this machine, he
:10:29. > :10:34.has had no chest problems. Previously, his mother felt she was
:10:34. > :10:39.passed from pillar to post. If it is just pressing a button to keep
:10:39. > :10:43.him out of hospital, I am happy to do that. It is so much nicer for
:10:43. > :10:48.families that they are kept out of hospital and are able to stay at
:10:48. > :10:52.home. I high we get permanent funding to help this continue.
:10:52. > :11:00.consultants are convinced that over nine months, the project has more
:11:00. > :11:05.than paid for itself. Moira Flanigan has saved at least 80
:11:05. > :11:09.call-outs or admissions, and if a child comes in for admission, it is
:11:09. > :11:13.�2,500. Moira Flanigan also provides support and training for
:11:13. > :11:16.carers who can provide respite care for the family is.
:11:16. > :11:19.Next, the East Midlands tourism industry has been told that
:11:19. > :11:23.offering a big discount during the Olympics could be a way to bring in
:11:24. > :11:27.extra business. The suggestion came from the Secretary of State for
:11:27. > :11:36.Culture, who was at Trent Bridge in Nottingham today for a meeting of
:11:36. > :11:42.tourism bosses. Mike O'Sullivan reports.
:11:42. > :11:45.The Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, meeting hotelier's, businesses and
:11:46. > :11:51.tourist organisations. The message - do not miss out on a Olympics
:11:51. > :11:59.trade. The Culture Secretary came to Trowbridge to tell the tourism
:11:59. > :12:03.industry how it could cash in. He said business would be boosted.
:12:03. > :12:06.There is a recognition amongst leaders and the tourism industry
:12:06. > :12:12.that next year is going to be different. It is a unique
:12:12. > :12:18.opportunity and we have to grasp it. Times are tough but sometimes with
:12:18. > :12:21.tough times, you get opportunities as well, and that is what 2012 will
:12:22. > :12:27.be for us. These are some of the images from the East Midlands that
:12:27. > :12:33.will be used in a huge advertising campaign. The idea of the 20.12 %
:12:33. > :12:36.discount got a mixed reaction. discount will go really well.
:12:36. > :12:44.Everyone can see what we are tangibly doing to support the
:12:44. > :12:49.Olympics. Can we afford it all the around? No. But there is no
:12:49. > :12:53.government subsidy to help out with the discount.
:12:53. > :12:55.Next tonight, the mums returning to the classroom to learn English.
:12:55. > :12:58.More than 25 different languages are spoken by children at
:12:58. > :13:02.Greenfields Community School in Nottingham. For more than 80% of
:13:02. > :13:12.them, English is their second language. But now they've learnt to
:13:12. > :13:16.speak it, their parents are trying to catch up, as Jo Healey reports.
:13:16. > :13:22.Today we are going to do about going to the doctor's...
:13:23. > :13:29.English lessons. Not for the pupils, but for their parents. A very good
:13:29. > :13:35.lesson and I practise more and more and very well. It is really good.
:13:35. > :13:40.It is very hot oil. 80% of the children here are from ethnic
:13:40. > :13:45.communities, speaking a range of 25 different languages. They are as
:13:45. > :13:50.diverse as Polish, Punjabi and Portuguese. What do they think
:13:50. > :13:54.about their mothers come into the classroom, too? I want her to know
:13:54. > :14:02.what it means and if she tries something you, I would be really
:14:02. > :14:06.proud of her. I feel really happy and proud of my mum. They can talk
:14:06. > :14:09.English to the teachers and nobody has to translate it for them.
:14:09. > :14:14.think it is a good idea because they can help their children with
:14:14. > :14:19.their homework. The lessons are thanks to the communications
:14:19. > :14:23.company and given by students from the University of Nottingham.
:14:23. > :14:27.are a community school and we work as a family, so we are hoping that
:14:27. > :14:31.with literacy lessons, the parents are further skill to help their
:14:31. > :14:35.children at home. For three- quarters of the children here,
:14:35. > :14:39.English is their second language. They get top marks for learning it.
:14:39. > :14:42.Now what their parents have to do is catch up.
:14:43. > :14:52.This is East Midlands Today. Still to come, cheese that costs �60 a
:14:53. > :14:57.
:14:58. > :15:01.slice! Find out what makes this Only two days now until Children in
:15:01. > :15:04.Need, and this year the money is needed more than ever, as charities
:15:04. > :15:07.face cutbacks in funding. In Leicester, the money is helping
:15:07. > :15:11.raise the confidence and self- esteem of children and young people
:15:12. > :15:15.with visual impairments. VISTA Society for the Blind provides
:15:15. > :15:25.activities during school holidays. Karen Winchester met up with the
:15:25. > :15:28.
:15:28. > :15:32.group at a cookery class. How are we doing? Looking good. My
:15:32. > :15:37.job is to provide activities for children during the school holidays.
:15:37. > :15:42.Obviously, in turn time they are at school, so we provide opportunities
:15:42. > :15:47.for them to take part in everyday activities, to boost their
:15:47. > :15:52.confidence, their self-esteem and for them to have a fantastic time.
:15:52. > :15:57.I have come with my son because he is visually-impaired. He really
:15:57. > :16:03.enjoys the activities that are on offer for him here. How much fun is
:16:03. > :16:10.it coming here? A lot! Why? Because I get to do new things I have not
:16:11. > :16:14.done before. They help a lot with him. They help with his visual
:16:14. > :16:21.impairment and everything. They treat him normally. Normal clubs
:16:21. > :16:26.don't. He gets pushed out, as such, with him having his disability.
:16:26. > :16:30.Here, he gets lots of helpful stop sometimes I think it takes you to
:16:30. > :16:37.be involved in a group like this to realise the positive impact it has
:16:37. > :16:40.on people's lives. Without the funding, it would not be here.
:16:40. > :16:47.gives me an opportunity to do things I would not be able to do
:16:47. > :16:51.otherwise on my own. We have done a few residential trips where we have
:16:51. > :16:55.gone rock climbing and I think unless you are given the
:16:55. > :17:02.opportunity, you don't really know what your potential is. And because
:17:02. > :17:06.Joe has the opportunity, every time he needs every challenge with real
:17:06. > :17:10.determination. I think the children I have seen this year, their
:17:10. > :17:16.confidence has gone through the roof. Children that might not do
:17:16. > :17:20.things normally like this. Their self-esteem and confidence has gone
:17:20. > :17:25.really sky high and you can tell by them, you know, when you ask them
:17:25. > :17:28.if they have had a great time, then they have.
:17:28. > :17:31.Your money well spent, by the look of it.
:17:31. > :17:34.Time for sport, and it's taken three weeks, but finally Leicester
:17:34. > :17:38.City have their man. Yes, today Nigel Pearson said it
:17:38. > :17:42.was good to be back at Leicester City. After a year and-a-half away
:17:42. > :17:45.as the boss at Hull, he returned to Leicester this morning to manage
:17:45. > :17:48.the club he says he has a big affinity with. He believes with the
:17:48. > :17:55.new Thai owners in charge, the Leicester job is a unique
:17:55. > :17:59.opportunity, and he said it felt a bit like coming home.
:17:59. > :18:04.Back in the corridors when Nigel Pearson achieved real success, a
:18:04. > :18:09.year-and-a-half ago, the old regime at Leicester let peers and go
:18:09. > :18:14.easily. The new owners have found it hard to get him back. When we
:18:14. > :18:23.started the process of looking for a new manager, not only were we
:18:23. > :18:26.looking for somebody with championship experience, and
:18:26. > :18:31.somebody with immense strength of character and would motivate and
:18:31. > :18:37.lead the players. And this man... We found it was Nigel and we are
:18:37. > :18:42.really so happy to welcome him back to Leicester City. But it has taken
:18:42. > :18:48.12 days of intense negotiations to seal a deal with Hull. It has felt
:18:48. > :18:53.longer. I will be perfectly honest. But it is good to be back now. So I
:18:53. > :19:03.am glad it has been resolved. the press conference, he was all
:19:03. > :19:04.
:19:04. > :19:09.smiles as he talked about the challenge ahead. It is something I
:19:09. > :19:14.didn't expect, to be honest, but there are considerable changes but
:19:14. > :19:19.higher and confident we can move forward quickly. In his two years
:19:19. > :19:24.at Leicester, he steered the club took the lead one in 2009 before he
:19:24. > :19:28.reached the championship play-offs. Perhaps he has unfinished business.
:19:28. > :19:33.30 games left and we have got to do everything we can to make sure we
:19:33. > :19:38.are in there with a fighting chance. A big day for fans. What is your
:19:38. > :19:41.message to them? Get behind us and let's see if we can have another
:19:41. > :19:44.exciting journey. Derby County Captain Shaun Barker
:19:44. > :19:50.and midfielder Paul Green took important steps on the road to
:19:50. > :19:54.recovery today. They both played in the Rams reserves game at Sheffield
:19:54. > :19:57.United. Neither has featured this season because of long term injury.
:19:57. > :20:04.Manager Nigel Clough thinks his side's injury problems have been a
:20:04. > :20:08.big reason for their fluctuating form. The results come from having
:20:08. > :20:13.that consistent team, which we have not been able to put out. We have
:20:13. > :20:18.to get a settled goalkeeper and back four. If you can put the same
:20:18. > :20:20.names down on the team sheet week- in, week-out, that helps.
:20:20. > :20:24.Rugby, and Leicester Tigers legend Martin Johnson has quit as manager
:20:24. > :20:30.of the England Rugby Union side. It follows the team's poor performance
:20:30. > :20:33.at the World Cup in New Zealand. Johnson had spent three and-a-half
:20:33. > :20:37.years in the job. Just to warn you, there is flash photography in what
:20:37. > :20:43.you're about to see. At the end of it, we are disappointed with how...
:20:43. > :20:47.How we lost in the World Cup, but it is a decision that I have come
:20:47. > :20:51.to not quickly or easily, but I think it is the right decision at
:20:51. > :20:57.this time. The Leicestershire and England
:20:57. > :21:04.batsman James Taylor is expected to join not by the end of November. He
:21:04. > :21:08.says a deal is 70% done. He made his debut in August and has a year
:21:08. > :21:15.to run on his Leicestershire contract but the club has always
:21:15. > :21:19.said they will not stand in his way. It is a very special night tomorrow.
:21:19. > :21:24.The Sports Awards for the East Midlands. We have been revealing
:21:24. > :21:34.the three finalists for 2011. Tonight, it is Kirsty Edwards

:21:46. > :21:51.you can! Young people here don't have to hang around on the streets.
:21:51. > :21:55.They can come to his gym for free. It is amazing because they get us
:21:55. > :22:02.out of the house and doing things. There are always people here and he
:22:02. > :22:05.is always helping everybody improve themselves. There are a lot of

:22:27. > :22:33.around. He inspires them. This is great! Come on! Steve has dedicated
:22:33. > :22:40.his life to coaching for 25 years. I have always enjoyed sport an hour
:22:40. > :22:45.putting something back. I just love seeing people improve. -- and I am
:22:45. > :22:51.putting something back. 10 years ago he secured funding to turn an
:22:51. > :22:55.old building into a sumo wrestlers gym. There is no reasons why you
:22:55. > :23:02.cannot turn into a world champion in a sport. You are much better
:23:02. > :23:08.than I was! A Stephen volunteers for around 40 hours a week
:23:08. > :23:12.virtually every day of the week, even Christmas. -- Steve of
:23:12. > :23:17.volunteers. Why does he do it? have asked myself a thousand times.
:23:17. > :23:21.I think I love it! For good luck is Steve, and we will
:23:21. > :23:26.find out the winner tomorrow at the Sports Awards. A glamourous
:23:26. > :23:31.occasion! We are talking about that age a
:23:31. > :23:35.Christmas dilemma - what you give to the person who has everything?
:23:36. > :23:39.One Leicestershire dairy thinks it has come up with a sparkling
:23:39. > :23:44.solution. His team has designed a cheese which will give mealtimes
:23:44. > :23:49.that Midas touch. The Stilton is already being snatched up by the
:23:49. > :23:55.rich and famous. He it is known as the king of cheeses.
:23:55. > :24:05.This king has at Billingham. Perfect for pop stars or princesses
:24:05. > :24:12.
:24:12. > :24:16.and this is cheese laced with gold. The reason we are doing this is
:24:16. > :24:20.that it is our centenary year and we wanted to do something that was
:24:20. > :24:24.very special that we could put all our pride and passion in, so we
:24:24. > :24:32.came up with the most expensive still to and we could. We have had
:24:32. > :24:38.a lot of interest, including from pop stars. So what makes this
:24:38. > :24:43.expensive recipe? We start off with the White Stilton and we add a
:24:43. > :24:49.double 23 carat gold. We then put in a cinnamon schnapps with gold
:24:49. > :24:54.flakes running through it. We do not blend it in, we tip it in, and
:24:54. > :25:00.we create a slice of cheese you can see being produced today. This is
:25:00. > :25:07.the result. If a cheese 67 times more expensive than usual. A slice
:25:07. > :25:13.of this will set you back �60. But will the people of Milton had
:25:13. > :25:20.expensive tastes? It is very nice. Good. Soft and lovely. I am not so
:25:20. > :25:28.impressed, to be honest. It is an interesting idea. We like Stilton,
:25:28. > :25:33.red Leicester. This is brilliant. Can I have one more? I am greedy!
:25:33. > :25:38.And it seems people do want this as the ultimate Christmas after an
:25:38. > :25:44.accessory. The only problem with this gold is that it is not a long-
:25:44. > :25:49.term investment. It might be gone by Boxing Day!
:25:49. > :25:59.Don't say I never get you anything! Thank you very much indeed! I will
:25:59. > :26:04.That is the best of I have had all day! We have had fairly cloudy
:26:04. > :26:10.skies across the East Midlands and we have got some fairly thin cloud
:26:10. > :26:14.which made the temperatures drop to quite chilly levels. The cloud
:26:14. > :26:20.spreads in and we will have patchy rain overnight tonight. Look at
:26:20. > :26:26.this gorgeous sunset captured by Pete in Leicestershire. Do send
:26:26. > :26:30.your pictures into us. If we take a look, we can see a couple of
:26:30. > :26:35.weather France working their way in from the West and the main bulk of
:26:35. > :26:40.the rain is moving over Northern Ireland, parts of Wales and the
:26:40. > :26:46.south-west of the UK. We were just a little part of patchy rain, just
:26:46. > :26:55.drizzle, overnight. Temperatures are down to around six degrees.
:26:55. > :27:01.Thursday starts on a cloudy and misty note, but we soon see these
:27:01. > :27:07.breaks and hope is that these sunny spells will spread eastwards. For
:27:07. > :27:12.temperatures, not bad, at around 13 degrees. As we head towards the
:27:12. > :27:17.weekend, ever-closer now, Friday is looking like end of a dry day,
:27:17. > :27:26.although this looks pretty cloudy, but hole is the cloud will break-up
:27:26. > :27:31.with sunshine coming through. -- but the hope is. The weekend,
:27:31. > :27:35.although quite cloudy, should bring some bright and sunny spells at
