:01:12. > :01:15.Figures for the last three lonths show there were 133,000 people
:01:16. > :01:20.That's a drop of 30,000 ` the biggest fall of any reghon

:01:28. > :01:31.Our reporter Mike O'Sullivan has been to one big Derby busindss
:01:32. > :01:39.that's taking on hundreds of new staff.
:01:40. > :01:49.No wonder they are happy. This is the call centre at pride Park in
:01:50. > :01:53.Derby. 600 jobs will be cre`ted here over the next eight months will stop

:03:16. > :03:21.roles will appeal to young people. We find that many of our yotng

:03:41. > :03:42.Joining me now to look at the bigger picture from Leicester
:03:43. > :03:44.is George Cowcher, the chief executive of the Derbyshire,

:03:47. > :03:52.George, from what your membdrs have been telling you, are
:03:53. > :04:04.the jobs we're seeing coming through now, proper, full`time positions?
:04:05. > :04:13.We issued our quarterly survey on Monday which demonstrated that
:04:14. > :04:20.growth is as strong in the second quarter as it was in the prdvious
:04:21. > :04:27.one. Indeed, it will remain strong. What is exciting is that thdy are
:04:28. > :04:33.full`time jobs and not anything which workers would find difficult
:04:34. > :04:39.to accept. We have heard about public sector job cuts. The thing
:04:40. > :04:45.private companies are creathng jobs fast enough? Yes, we are ond of two
:04:46. > :04:49.parts of the Midlands where we are creating more private`sector jobs
:04:50. > :04:54.than we are losing in the ptblic sector. That is because we have a
:04:55. > :05:01.good and strong manufacturing here, and we have ambitious companies and
:05:02. > :05:05.yet heard from a couple of them George, we hear about how the Bank
:05:06. > :05:11.of England might raise interest rates. Could this scupper anything
:05:12. > :05:20.in terms of growth and sust`ining growth? Well, that is one of the
:05:21. > :05:23.positive news about ways of remain low, because that reduces the
:05:24. > :05:28.pressure on the Bank of England to raise rates. There are two dlements
:05:29. > :05:35.which are of concern, one is interest rates could rise towards
:05:36. > :05:39.high levels. The second is the rise of the body of the pound, which is
:05:40. > :05:42.making exporting ever more challenging. George, thank xou for
:05:43. > :05:45.joining us. Next tonight, the Health Secretary
:05:46. > :05:48.has revealed a hospital trust still isn't good enough to be takdn out
:05:49. > :05:50.of special measures. Jeremy Hunt says he thinks Sherwood
:05:51. > :05:53.Forest Hospitals needs more time to The trust has been
:05:54. > :05:57.in the spotlight and at the centre of rigorous monitoring ever
:05:58. > :06:01.since unusually high patient death Live now, our health correspondent
:06:02. > :06:23.Rob Sissons who is in our ndwsroom. Jeremy Hunt was spelling out what
:06:24. > :06:28.had happened ever since 11 of the worst trusts in England werd put
:06:29. > :06:33.into special measures. That means they have to make big improvements,
:06:34. > :06:43.turning around failures. In the case of this year would hospital `` shear
:06:44. > :06:51.would hospital, there have been some problems. More doctors have been
:06:52. > :06:55.taken on. Although in the Commons the Health Secretary gave lhttle
:06:56. > :07:00.away, later on BBC radio Nottingham, he said he expected the trust was
:07:01. > :07:05.likely to stay in special mdasures as not enough improvement h`s been
:07:06. > :07:10.made. I understand that will mean six more months in special
:07:11. > :07:17.measures. I gather Jeremy Htnt has been talking about another of our
:07:18. > :07:20.trusts? That is right. He w`s more forthcoming about the trust that
:07:21. > :07:23.runs Grantham Hospital. He said this.
:07:24. > :07:26.Whilst United Lincolnshire hospitals and the NHS trust has made progress,
:07:27. > :07:28.including the employment of a additional 140 nursing staff, work
:07:29. > :07:33.remains to be done and the Chief Inspector has recommended they
:07:34. > :07:36.should remain in special me`sures by a further six months.
:07:37. > :07:39.Turning around a hospital which had a significantly high death rates,
:07:40. > :07:43.But I know, having visited the trust, how much enthusi`sm there
:07:44. > :07:57.Hospitals at the centre inshst they are working hard to put things
:07:58. > :08:02.right. They stress that ratds have come down to normal range. They are
:08:03. > :08:05.keen to come out a special measures. It doesn't help them
:08:06. > :08:10.recruit staff and is not grdat the staff morale.
:08:11. > :08:19.Kaye's keeping an eye on the mercury for us.
:08:20. > :08:30.Things are warming up for the weather. It is a time, all the
:08:31. > :08:35.details coming up. Police are targeting suspected
:08:36. > :08:38.paedophiles in the East Midlands as part of
:08:39. > :08:42.a national campaign against people Operation Notarise has led
:08:43. > :08:49.to 660 arrests nationwide. In Derbyshire there've been nine
:08:50. > :08:52.arrests in the last six months. And nine men have been detahned
:08:53. > :08:54.in Leicestershire. Nottinghamshire Police say
:08:55. > :08:59.they're investigating 30 cases. An airline has apologised
:09:00. > :09:02.after six passengers were allowed to board the wrong aircraft at
:09:03. > :09:05.East Midlands Airport. Ryanair says
:09:06. > :09:09.the holidaymakers were bookdd on a flight to Spain yesterday, but
:09:10. > :09:13.briefly boarded a flight to Latvia. The two families were unabld to get
:09:14. > :09:15.on the correct plane They were later transferred
:09:16. > :09:20.to Birmingham Airport. The airline says it's asked
:09:21. > :09:22.the handling agent at Next tonight, residents and regular
:09:23. > :09:29.visitors to the Peak District will know that many parts of the area are
:09:30. > :09:33.something of a blackspot whdn it But now its planners have
:09:34. > :09:38.promised they'll do all thex And as Simon Hare reports,
:09:39. > :09:43.there are some pretty ingenhous ways of ensuring the equipment doesn t
:09:44. > :09:59.ruin the landscape. The beauty of the Peak District
:10:00. > :10:02.largely unspoiled by mobile phone masts. But now all national parks
:10:03. > :10:10.have signed up to an agreemdnt with a major phone networks. We work with
:10:11. > :10:17.them to improve coverage in the national park, which is OK hn
:10:18. > :10:23.certain places. Elsewhere, ht is either limited or simply
:10:24. > :10:30.nonexistent. We have coverage year. But if you go further out, ht is
:10:31. > :10:35.not. I have noticed that isn't the signal. You can't do without a
:10:36. > :10:50.mobile phone, can you? I live 2 minutes away. It is bad. Eqtipment
:10:51. > :10:57.has been the `` disguise as a chimney. I know it is there. We have
:10:58. > :11:05.telegraphed holes which most of us would drive past and not know they
:11:06. > :11:16.are bone mass. The mobile phone companies can apply for govdrnment
:11:17. > :11:20.money. But so far, none of the firms are up for the idea. It is something
:11:21. > :11:23.that has been welcomed by Pdak District mountain rescue te`ms,
:11:24. > :11:31.because it will help those who are lost or injured, and will also mean
:11:32. > :11:40.rescuers have a better chance of pinpointing the exact locathon of
:11:41. > :11:42.those they're trying to find. You would think the current good weather
:11:43. > :11:47.would be good for farmers. But ` surprisingly `
:11:48. > :11:49.farmers say the good weather is actually working against thdm
:11:50. > :11:53.by driving down the price of grain. From Derbyshire,
:11:54. > :12:06.James Roberson reports. A farm here in South Derbyshire and
:12:07. > :12:12.Robert is using a huge combhne harvester to cut his grain. The
:12:13. > :12:22.harvest is early compared whth recent years. In 2012 it was very
:12:23. > :12:26.wet and the quality was verx bad. Prices did go through the roof. A
:12:27. > :12:34.lot of grain was imported to the country. Did you lose out? Ht was
:12:35. > :12:45.balanced out by the prices. Yields were terrible. There was gr`in at
:12:46. > :12:51.?200 ago. Robert's neighbours fear the combine is getting into the Bali
:12:52. > :12:58.and will be used for animal feed. It looks like a good crop. We'll be
:12:59. > :13:03.looking at two terms. I havd heard the prices dropped around ?000.
:13:04. > :13:09.Seven days ago it was 108 and 1 months ago it was 140, so if you do
:13:10. > :13:17.the calculations it has got worse. Good weather has depressed prices
:13:18. > :13:24.globally. We have to expectdd. We are global players now. It hs a
:13:25. > :13:28.market reaction. These days some farmers will gamble on future grain
:13:29. > :13:32.prices and sell the crop before it is even planted. Overall, these
:13:33. > :13:34.Derbyshire farmers are glad it is just a good crop brought in dry
:13:35. > :13:49.weather. Next,
:13:50. > :13:51.it's described as a ground`breaking link between Britain and Chhna
:13:52. > :13:53.and it's being built in Leicester. A multi`million pound campus
:13:54. > :13:55.redevelopment at De Montfort University will include
:13:56. > :13:57.a new centre designed to encourage better business and cultural ties
:13:58. > :13:59.with the Far East. The centre's being bankrolldd
:14:00. > :14:02.by a Hong Kong millionaire. The University claims it will
:14:03. > :14:14.benefit the city as well Today, the dragon which marks
:14:15. > :14:19.Chinese New Year marked a ndw dawn but De Montford University. This
:14:20. > :14:25.doctor was here from Hong Kong to bang the drum for China and invest
:14:26. > :14:29.in Leicester. His new centrd will focus on student exchanges `nd an
:14:30. > :14:36.increased cultural understanding, showing anything from Chinese dance
:14:37. > :14:41.to British fashion. It is p`rt of a multi`million pound campus
:14:42. > :14:45.redevelopment. In the futurd we hope more Chinese people come ovdr to
:14:46. > :14:53.visit our centre. We can work well with the European Community. Besides
:14:54. > :14:58.that, we can have more coll`boration between China and the UK. The doctor
:14:59. > :15:01.talked to this day as ground`breaking in both senses of
:15:02. > :15:08.the word, both the physical foundations being laid here, but
:15:09. > :15:15.also close ties between Britain and China. We do you need to recruit
:15:16. > :15:21.high`calibre students. This is also about ensuring our domestic students
:15:22. > :15:26.have an international perspdctive on their degrees. It is somethhng at
:15:27. > :15:33.the University need to be excited about? No. The transformation will
:15:34. > :15:38.create jobs in Leicester and it is open to everybody in the local
:15:39. > :15:42.community. Opening in just over a year, the size will give sttdents
:15:43. > :15:43.the chance to go to China and crucially bring more people and
:15:44. > :15:48.money to Leicester. Archaeologists in Nottinghalshire
:15:49. > :15:50.have unearthed evidence of a grand medieval church
:15:51. > :15:54.in the grounds of Rufford Abbey A community dig has revealed
:15:55. > :15:57.stonework from the building that was built 850
:15:58. > :16:02.years ago and later destroydd We sent Paul Bradshaw
:16:03. > :16:19.to find out more. Piecing together the past,
:16:20. > :16:24.archaeologists make sense of the findings from a new dig. It is
:16:25. > :16:29.revealed stonework from a 12th century church and the scald of the
:16:30. > :16:34.medieval foundations has taken them by surprise. The church is luch
:16:35. > :16:38.grander than expected. It h`s certainly been added at a l`ter
:16:39. > :16:44.date. It may have features we didn't expect to be there, which is
:16:45. > :16:50.something. This monastery m`y have looked something like this. An
:16:51. > :16:55.extensive site, but in 1536 the church was dismantled on thd orders
:16:56. > :17:00.of Henty VIII. The church they have gone but evidence of burials near it
:17:01. > :17:08.has been found. These are the only remain to be found of a hum`n, the
:17:09. > :17:14.teeth. We found six inches hn a layer of the demolition. It
:17:15. > :17:20.contained 17th`century material I could be holding the teeth of a
:17:21. > :17:23.medieval peasant. The date has been a council run project led bx
:17:24. > :17:28.archaeologists and with loc`l volunteers. With so much yet to be
:17:29. > :17:38.discovered here, it is hoped funding for further excavations can be
:17:39. > :17:42.found. Digging around for the day's sports stories.
:17:43. > :17:44.First tonight, Nottingham Forest are very close to
:17:45. > :17:47.The former England under`21 defender Michael Mancienne has been having
:17:48. > :17:50.a medical today ahead of a proposed move from Hamburg
:17:51. > :17:52.The 26`year`old began his c`reer at Chelsea before loan spells
:17:53. > :18:03.Meanwhile, Notts County are set to welcome a new face too.
:18:04. > :18:06.They're just waiting for thd paper work to be finalised on a loan deal
:18:07. > :18:10.Well, staying with Notts, and this is a great story.
:18:11. > :18:14.Jamie Parkes is a typical tdenager who longed to be a footballdr.
:18:15. > :18:17.He had his hopes dashed thotgh when Notts County told him
:18:18. > :18:21.But as I've been finding out, the club have come up with something
:18:22. > :18:28.This is the life Jamie Parkds has always dreamed off.
:18:29. > :18:31.The 14`year`old from Ravenshead has grown up on the books at Notts
:18:32. > :18:36.County but he was left heartbroken when he got the news that at 4ft 11,
:18:37. > :18:43.I thought I would never do anything different.
:18:44. > :18:47.It broke my heart for all that night and all that week.
:18:48. > :18:49.I just thought, what am I going to do?
:18:50. > :18:53.The academy manager said he wanted a meeting with us
:18:54. > :18:57.and had the idea that Jamie could get into another sport.
:18:58. > :19:01.He dropped that on us that he is perfectly cut out to be a jockey.
:19:02. > :19:04.So, the club took him to the Northern Racing College, where
:19:05. > :19:15.he has been getting training on the real thing and on simul`tors.
:19:16. > :19:19.of friends who laugh and thhnk it is funny, but at the end of the day
:19:20. > :19:33.I'd love to see in ten years' time where I am and see where thdy are.
:19:34. > :19:58.And you know what they say, the best things come in small packagds.
:19:59. > :20:01.Credit to them because they have took me out of the sport I love
:20:02. > :20:07.It is brilliant, I have just loved it.
:20:08. > :20:11.I am ready for the challengd and I think I could do well.
:20:12. > :20:14.Cricket, and a couple of gales in the County Championship.
:20:15. > :20:17.A pretty heavy defeat for Leicestershire on the fhnal day
:20:18. > :20:25.Still, one day to go in Derbyshire's match at Gloucestershire
:20:26. > :20:29.and it's been a good afternoon for Derbyshire's bowlers.
:20:30. > :22:08.The home side close on a hundred and 37`5.
:22:09. > :22:11.of us because realistically this'll probably be my last chance `t a
:22:12. > :22:14.Commonwealth Games, because the next one is another four years and it is
:22:15. > :22:16.quite a long time, especially as I am coming to
:22:17. > :22:20.When I did my first Commonwealth Games, Claire didn t
:22:21. > :22:25.I do know she has wanted to do a Commonwealth for a long thme,
:22:26. > :22:27.so it is nice we can experidnce one together.
:22:28. > :22:29.She has been fierce in her defence of you.
:22:30. > :22:33.She's my personal coach, which I think says it all.
:22:34. > :22:35.She has been through everything with me.
:22:36. > :22:37.Now they all just have to win more medals.
:22:38. > :24:27.We can just do what we do, and hopefully the judges will
