:00:42. > :00:46.and Mary celebrate their 100th birthday together. I have no idea

:00:47. > :00:55.which is which! Good evening

:00:56. > :00:57.and welcome to the programme. First tonight, it's now widely

:00:58. > :00:59.accepted that recovery in the UK is taking hold, with

:01:00. > :01:03.the economy growing faster than in And the Government is looking

:01:04. > :01:10.to manufacturers to continue to So no doubt ministers will be

:01:11. > :01:15.delighted with the findings of a new survey which has found that

:01:16. > :01:18.record numbers of manufacturers in the East Midlands are looking to

:01:19. > :01:21.further invest in their businesses Here's our chief news

:01:22. > :01:40.reporter Quentin Rayner. A1 flues make chimneys and flues

:01:41. > :01:46.from stainless steel. It was established 41 years ago in old

:01:47. > :01:51.chicken sheds. Now it employs 130 people and has an annual turnover of

:01:52. > :01:57.more than ?11 million. Businesses on the up. It is slowly coming back, we

:01:58. > :01:59.are seeing very much of an improvement, particularly since

:02:00. > :02:02.Christmas. We feel that the jobs that have been put on hold over the

:02:03. > :02:07.last couple of years are now coming to light. It's a little bit like the

:02:08. > :02:12.domestic market, people starting to spend money. According to this

:02:13. > :02:17.barometer, 59% of small manufacturers in the East Midlands

:02:18. > :02:21.are planning to spend more on plant and machinery. 62% report a rise in

:02:22. > :02:25.sales. While 57% looking to create new jobs over the next six months.

:02:26. > :02:31.That's an increase of 11% on the same period last year. It could be

:02:32. > :02:36.written for us, we are reinvesting into our own company. We've got

:02:37. > :02:41.?250,000 worth of machinery on order. We are introducing new

:02:42. > :02:45.products, recruiting, employing more people. The survey does reflect

:02:46. > :02:49.continued concern about rising energy bills and the company has

:02:50. > :02:55.just switched suppliers. At this year the company will stop exporting

:02:56. > :02:59.for the first time. `` start exporting for the first time. It

:03:00. > :03:04.also has a dramatic announcement about ten ?80,000 contract. We've

:03:05. > :03:11.just landed the order for the Elstree Studios at the EastEnders

:03:12. > :03:15.set. It's fantastic! The Manufacturing advisory service

:03:16. > :03:16.believes its survey is the clearest signal yet that the recovery is

:03:17. > :03:20.sustainable. Police investigating Madeleine

:03:21. > :03:22.McCann's disappearance in Portugal are hoping they'll be able to extend

:03:23. > :03:26.their search of land close to where The official permission to

:03:27. > :03:32.survey three sites in Praia De Luz expires on Friday, unless

:03:33. > :03:35.something significant is found. Today saw a more scientific search

:03:36. > :03:38.of an area of scrubland, on what's Our reporter Tom Burridge joins

:03:39. > :03:59.us now from Praia De Luz. Most of the activity by both the

:04:00. > :04:03.Portuguese police and police from the Metropolitan Police has been

:04:04. > :04:08.taking place in this area behind me. The site is around 15 acres. An

:04:09. > :04:14.extensive area of Scotland just outside the main central part of

:04:15. > :04:18.Praia da Luz. We can show you some pictures we filmed in the last

:04:19. > :04:21.couple of hours of quite intense activity. Police officers in

:04:22. > :04:27.forensic suits going inside the tent. We've also seen the officers

:04:28. > :04:31.taking out buckets of soil. We've also seen a sniffer dog on the area

:04:32. > :04:35.and a lot of clearing of the grassland, a lot of strimmers being

:04:36. > :04:41.used. The police were searching with their hands, shovels and through a

:04:42. > :04:52.lot of areas of bushland. What are they focusing on? What we've seen

:04:53. > :04:55.are the police identifying certain parts of this large area of ground

:04:56. > :05:00.which they are interested in. We don't know why, but they seem to be

:05:01. > :05:05.marking out certain areas. On this site behind me, the white tents have

:05:06. > :05:08.gone up, we've seen yellow evidence signs going in. The police have also

:05:09. > :05:15.been using a machine called ground radar. They pass it over the earth,

:05:16. > :05:20.essentially that enables them to be able to map out what is in the soil,

:05:21. > :05:23.if there are any anomalies. For example, if something had been

:05:24. > :05:28.buried in a part of the land behind me, it might show up. Cavities

:05:29. > :05:31.should show up. If they were to find anything of interest, then the

:05:32. > :05:37.police would then start to dig in that particular spot.

:05:38. > :05:40.Some of the earliest film ever broadcast

:05:41. > :05:44.It shows how the firm rapidly expanded after the outbreak of

:05:45. > :05:57.World War One, making everything from vermin powder to gas masks.

:05:58. > :05:59.The trial of a couple accused of murdering her parents,

:06:00. > :06:02.who were found buried in the back garden, got underway today.

:06:03. > :06:04.Susan Edwards admitted the manslaughter of her mother,

:06:05. > :06:22.A middle`aged couple in the dock at Nottingham Crown Court. Susan and

:06:23. > :06:29.Christopher Edwards, formerly of Dagenham in London, both accused of

:06:30. > :06:34.murdering Susan's father and mother in May, 1998. The bodies of the

:06:35. > :06:38.couple were found buried in the back garden of their home in Blenheim

:06:39. > :06:45.close in Forest town in Mansfield in October last year. Mr which Lee was

:06:46. > :06:49.85 at the time of his death and Mrs Wycherley was 63. In front of the

:06:50. > :06:53.jury, Mr and Mrs Edwards both pleaded not guilty to charges of

:06:54. > :06:58.murdering her parents. But earlier, before the jury was sworn in, Mrs

:06:59. > :07:01.Edwards admitted the manslaughter of her mother. The prosecution said

:07:02. > :07:07.they wanted to proceed with the murder trial. The Edwards have

:07:08. > :07:11.previously admitted two charges of obstructing the coroner by burying

:07:12. > :07:15.the bodies in the garden 15 years before they were found. They've also

:07:16. > :07:20.pleaded guilty to the theft of a credit balance from the Halifax bank

:07:21. > :07:23.between May 1998 and October last year. The trial is expected to last

:07:24. > :07:36.up to two weeks. An MP says she'll be seeking answers

:07:37. > :07:39.from the Highways Agency over roadwork delays on one

:07:40. > :07:41.of Derbyshire's busiest routes. There was gridlock at the Little

:07:42. > :07:44.Eaton Island in Derby yesterday. Rare white`clawed crayfish have been

:07:45. > :07:47.found nearby and they have to be The Highways Agency says

:07:48. > :07:52.the project may not be completed The Mid Derbyshire MP Pauline Latham

:07:53. > :07:56.says contractors should be working An oil exploration company claims

:07:57. > :08:02.there will not be any fracking in Leicestershire, despite

:08:03. > :08:05.a survey confirming it boasts huge The process involves drilling

:08:06. > :08:09.and fracturing to remove reserves An independent study found there

:08:10. > :08:12.could be more than five billion barrels of oil and almost three

:08:13. > :08:15.trillion cubic feet of gas But Union Jack Oil,

:08:16. > :08:19.which commissioned the report, says it was simply

:08:20. > :08:21.about gathering intelligence and no Derbyshire County Councillors will

:08:22. > :08:33.now have to reveal Freemason. It's been agreed that

:08:34. > :08:36.councillors will need to declare their membership of certain groups,

:08:37. > :08:39.including the freemasons. Labour say it's about transparency. The

:08:40. > :08:42.Conservatives say it's about prejudice. They've compared the

:08:43. > :08:44.situation faced by Freemasons to that experienced by ANC members in

:08:45. > :08:54.South Africa during apartheid. Next tonight,

:08:55. > :08:55.East Midlands Ambulance service, which has come under attack

:08:56. > :08:58.for failing to hit response times, has received an offer of help from

:08:59. > :09:02.health care and medical students. The students,

:09:03. > :09:04.from Nottingham and Derby, are the first in the country to operate

:09:05. > :09:06.an inner`city First Responders' scheme, volunteers trained

:09:07. > :09:26.in basic first aid who provide vital University students on the front

:09:27. > :09:31.line in Derby. First year medical students, doubts and Haran, are also

:09:32. > :09:38.first responders for the ambulance service. All packed and ready. They

:09:39. > :09:44.are among volunteers at the University of Nottingham medical

:09:45. > :09:48.School who attend 999 calls, providing vital help until trained

:09:49. > :09:51.paramedics arrived. We learn a lot of theory because we are still first

:09:52. > :09:55.years, but it's nice to get out there and see patients in the real

:09:56. > :09:58.world, see how things can progress quite quickly and being able to make

:09:59. > :10:09.a difference and do something. The initiative is one of the very first

:10:10. > :10:13.city responded teams in the country. It was started by 25`year`old

:10:14. > :10:18.Darren, who came up with the idea of medical and health care students

:10:19. > :10:22.responding. He went to East Midlands ambulance service after starting in

:10:23. > :10:27.Derby as a medical student himself. The initial response was great. The

:10:28. > :10:30.support we've had from the ambulance service, University and the students

:10:31. > :10:35.union has been fantastic. We've been to 70 or 80 calls in the five weeks

:10:36. > :10:39.we've been operational. We've seen quite a few patients. Today, more

:10:40. > :10:42.than 20 students came for an official launch of their service.

:10:43. > :10:48.They've already gone through extensive training. This is

:10:49. > :10:52.absolutely not a replacement for the full`time professional ambulance

:10:53. > :10:55.service. This is about community engagement. In those first few

:10:56. > :10:59.minutes when a patient is in need, that had a cardiac arrest or chest

:11:00. > :11:03.pain or choking, that the community first responders can get there

:11:04. > :11:06.whilst the ambulance service are deployed. It says a lot about the

:11:07. > :11:09.medical students that they are prepared to give up some of their

:11:10. > :11:22.spare time on an already busy course to try and help the community. Last

:11:23. > :11:24.week we responded to a cardiac arrest and performed resuscitation

:11:25. > :11:27.on the patient, that patient ended up surviving. It's a great feeling.

:11:28. > :11:31.If the scheme can continue to do that, that's great.

:11:32. > :11:33.A school in Leicestershire has been given thousands of poppies after

:11:34. > :11:36.its Remembrance Garden for World War One was accidentally destroyed.

:11:37. > :11:39.Locals have knitted poppies and people from across the country have

:11:40. > :11:42.sent paper versions, so the school can build a commemorative wall.

:11:43. > :11:45.The headteacher says it shows the World War I community spirit

:11:46. > :11:53.Helen Astle reports from Stoney Stanton.

:11:54. > :11:56.This school field is meant to be full of poppies, planted to create a

:11:57. > :12:01.But, by mistake, a council worker mowed the field,

:12:02. > :12:09.We've got a bit of an issue because the idea was to build

:12:10. > :12:15.The poppies had been sown earlier in the year.

:12:16. > :12:18.I was very disappointed and thought, "What are we going to do now?"

:12:19. > :12:22.I came up with the idea of "yarn bomb" of the fence with lots

:12:23. > :12:26.We were going around the playground recruiting parents to help out.

:12:27. > :12:28.People who could knit were given knitting patterns.

:12:29. > :12:30.Other parents said they couldn't knit or crochet,

:12:31. > :12:34.so they decided they would make something out of anything red we can

:12:35. > :12:38.In the classroom, pupils are still busy making poppies.

:12:39. > :12:41.We're making these poppies to show what has happened in the war.

:12:42. > :12:43.And the people that have died in the war.

:12:44. > :12:50.Originally, staff were hoping to collect around 700 poppies

:12:51. > :12:54.But as news spread about what had happened,

:12:55. > :13:04.Relatives have got involved, we've had grandmas from Swansea

:13:05. > :13:11.We've had poppies sent to us from Cheshire.

:13:12. > :13:15.People who have been on holiday and came back with poppies as well.

:13:16. > :13:17.Yes, it has definitely been a nationwide thing.

:13:18. > :13:23.We've got such a wonderful community here that in our time of adversity

:13:24. > :13:25.they've all pulled together in a real community spirit.

:13:26. > :13:32.And learning about the war has had a big impact on the children.

:13:33. > :13:36.We should always remember because people gave up their lives for us

:13:37. > :13:50.Ever since the dramatic resignation of Patrick Mercer, the people

:13:51. > :13:53.of Newark have been at the centre of a political whirlwind.

:13:54. > :13:56.But tomorrow, finally, they'll get the chance to vote for a new MP.

:13:57. > :13:59.The by`election has drawn dozens of high profile politicians to

:14:00. > :14:05.But tomorrow, to the relief of some no doubt, all canvassing must stop.

:14:06. > :14:10.Our political editor John Hess joins us.

:14:11. > :14:17.John, what's been happening on the very last day of campaigning?

:14:18. > :14:27.Today saw the final head`to`head debate between the candidates from

:14:28. > :14:32.the main parties. This was Radio Nottingham's Studios this morning,

:14:33. > :14:37.where the would`be MPs squared up for a debate. Unlike the Carl Froch

:14:38. > :14:41.fight, there was no eighth round knockout punch, more of a score

:14:42. > :14:44.draw. Fascinating all the same, with each candidate anxious to win over

:14:45. > :14:50.any of those final undecided voters. If you want to listen back to the

:14:51. > :14:54.debate, just catch up on the iPlayer. Click on the Mark Dennison

:14:55. > :15:00.show that is on the Radio Nottingham site. Signs of last`minute

:15:01. > :15:05.campaigning? I bumped into bus pass Elvis in the marketplace this

:15:06. > :15:08.morning, looking very chipper and confident. The main parties this

:15:09. > :15:13.evening will be delivering leaflets and getting their messages out. Over

:15:14. > :15:17.the next few hours, party workers will be gravitating to new work.

:15:18. > :15:19.This was the scene at Newark Northgate session, campaigners

:15:20. > :15:24.arrived from London this evening. The Prime Minister has urged

:15:25. > :15:29.conservative voters to get to Newark tonight and tomorrow, to help in the

:15:30. > :15:34.final push for votes. The Conservatives are defending a 16,000

:15:35. > :15:38.Conservative majority. Remind us when the voting starts. The polling

:15:39. > :15:43.stations open from 7am tomorrow. They will remain open until 10pm

:15:44. > :15:50.tomorrow night. Here is a reminder of all 11 candidates standing.

:15:51. > :15:58.The final result should be somewhat where between 3am and 3:30am on

:15:59. > :16:06.Friday morning. You will be up all night!

:16:07. > :16:11.No one can predict the outcome of the vote with absolute certainty. At

:16:12. > :16:15.least we know someone who can predict what the weather will be

:16:16. > :16:19.like. I can, if you are planning to vote

:16:20. > :16:23.tomorrow, the weather shouldn't stand in your way. It is said to be

:16:24. > :16:24.drier, brighter and warmer, but it's looking stormy just around the

:16:25. > :16:30.corner. This week we've been marking

:16:31. > :16:34.the centenary of the start of It was a time

:16:35. > :16:37.of great social change. And the Nottingham`based Boots

:16:38. > :16:39.company rose to the challenge of providing much needed supplies

:16:40. > :16:43.for the war effort. Jesse Boot, who founded

:16:44. > :16:46.and ran the company, was determined to play his part by turning the firm

:16:47. > :16:49.into a manufacturing powerhouse. In the archives of the Imperial War

:16:50. > :16:53.Museums we've found some film footage, believed to be the earliest

:16:54. > :16:58.moving images of the factory. I went to meet the company

:16:59. > :17:10.archivist to find out more. As with Rolls`Royce in Derby, the

:17:11. > :17:13.outbreak of war changed everything Germany had been a major exporter

:17:14. > :17:19.of pharmaceuticals. Now our medicines would be made

:17:20. > :17:25.at home. The Daily Mail saw their mass

:17:26. > :17:30.copying of German medicinal products Jesse brought a team

:17:31. > :17:34.of scientists to Nottingham. He increased his manufacturing

:17:35. > :17:36.capacity in the factory side, reconstructing the company

:17:37. > :17:39.and moving it much more towards We rose from about 9000 to

:17:40. > :17:45.around 12,000 employees over the war period,

:17:46. > :17:48.most of them here in Nottingham. Medicines, too,

:17:49. > :17:50.had to be manufactured for soldiers in the trenches, in

:17:51. > :17:54.containers small enough to be sent This tells us an awful lot

:17:55. > :18:00.about conditions in the trenches, This was one of the early responses

:18:01. > :18:08.to the war, to produce a range of products designed to give comfort

:18:09. > :18:11.to the men serving overseas. Power like this could get rid

:18:12. > :18:15.of those bugs keeping them awake And scientists at Boots created

:18:16. > :18:18.the chemicals that went into respirators, designed to protect

:18:19. > :18:23.from the horror of gas attacks. 8 million of these respirators were

:18:24. > :18:26.made at the Nottingham factory and over 900 women were trained

:18:27. > :18:30.on the production line. A slight amount of dust would give

:18:31. > :18:36.enough space for gas to come We had to run night shifts to

:18:37. > :18:44.be able to accommodate the huge It's always said the First World War

:18:45. > :18:49.really showed what women could do and that's absolutely the case,

:18:50. > :18:53.a lot of this work was really physical and women could do it

:18:54. > :18:55.as well as the men. As well as seeing the Boots logo

:18:56. > :18:58.on their vermin powder and gas masks, soldiers who'd been

:18:59. > :19:02.Boots workers in Nottingham had The paternalistic Jesse Boot set up

:19:03. > :19:06.a magazine called Comrades In Khaki. Issues were crammed with photos,

:19:07. > :19:09.letters and news reports, providing a vital link between the troops and

:19:10. > :19:13.their loved ones back in Nottingham. This photograph in an edition

:19:14. > :19:17.of Comrades In Khaki would have been an absolute joy

:19:18. > :19:23.for Boots workers serving overseas. It shows a festive party,

:19:24. > :19:28.which happened in January of 1916. And pictured are all the wives

:19:29. > :19:33.and children they left behind. It feels like a family magazine,

:19:34. > :19:36.almost like an old school letter, the familiarity with

:19:37. > :19:40.the people writing back in and responding to pictures they've

:19:41. > :19:43.seen people they know. Jesse and Florence wrote in each

:19:44. > :19:47.of the magazines to the soldiers, to tell them they were thinking

:19:48. > :19:50.of them and praying they would Those soldiers who did return to the

:19:51. > :19:55.island's quarter would have found Bigger, more mechanised and

:19:56. > :20:02.employing women on a large scale. Now based in Beeston,

:20:03. > :20:06.8000 people are still employed in A firm now known the world over,

:20:07. > :20:13.and one which was given a huge boost Leicester City have confirmed

:20:14. > :20:32.goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has Also today, winger Marc Albrighton

:20:33. > :20:37.has been speaking about joining the club from Aston Villa, as Leicester

:20:38. > :20:40.strengthen for the Premier League. It's bound to be

:20:41. > :20:49.a wrench leaving somewhere after 16 years, but imagine if you'd

:20:50. > :20:52.been there since you were a kid? Well, Marc Albrighton joined

:20:53. > :20:55.Aston Villa when he was just eight years old, now he's 24 and he faces

:20:56. > :20:59.a new career with Leicester City. Villa said I was getting released,

:21:00. > :21:02.they didn't offer me anything. When I found out Leicester were

:21:03. > :21:09.interested it was That's a mistake,

:21:10. > :21:16.here is Albrighton. And 24 now, I've got

:21:17. > :21:20.my peak ahead of me hopefully. With a bit of luck it will come off

:21:21. > :21:26.and it'll be a great move for me. Albrighton has signed

:21:27. > :21:29.a four`year deal. He is a tricky winger with

:21:30. > :21:33.England Under 20 and Under 21 caps. He troubles defenders and he's

:21:34. > :21:42.a great crosser of the ball. I like to get out of full`back

:21:43. > :21:44.and whip across. With the strikers we've got here,

:21:45. > :21:47.it's definitely going to be... They are going to get on the end
