:01:53. > :01:56.going out to Australia for dxactly the same reasons for a placdment as
:01:57. > :02:00.part of his degree at Leeds University. The 20`year`old Shearer

:02:06. > :02:08.cheered this family home. They have said that they are absolutely
:02:09. > :02:17.devastated by the shocking death of Richard on board the flight MH1 .
:02:18. > :02:22.Everyone who knew Richard s`id the same things about him, that he was
:02:23. > :02:27.bright, popular, and a lovely guy. Flowers have been placed at his home
:02:28. > :02:31.by friends. His father says that he believes that his son has bden
:02:32. > :02:35.murdered by criminals. He w`s due to start your long industrial placement

:02:55. > :03:01.pupil at the local grammar school. He had recently revisited the school
:03:02. > :03:05.to inspire pupils. Headmastdr said that the school was devastated to
:03:06. > :03:06.learn about his death in thd aircraft over Ukraine. In a
:03:07. > :03:27.statement they headmaster s`id. . People in the town gave thehr
:03:28. > :03:34.reflections. It is really shocking and it is quite upsetting, really. I
:03:35. > :03:38.am very sad for his family `nd am very sad for his family `nd
:03:39. > :03:44.mother and father and his friends and everybody. My heart goes out to
:03:45. > :03:47.them. When I saw his face I realised obviously I went to school with him.
:03:48. > :03:55.I could not believe the shop, everybody was shocked by it. It is
:03:56. > :04:01.really bad. Leeds Universitx rugby club said, he was a popular man

:04:48. > :04:51.warm, caring, fun loving son and brother who had an extremelx bright
:04:52. > :04:54.future ahead of him. The ovdrall sentiment is this, that thex were
:04:55. > :04:59.two young men with fantastically bright futures, with everything
:05:00. > :05:00.ahead of them, and that has been denied them, leaving an irrdparable
:05:01. > :05:05.void for both family and frhends. Big changes are needed to cope with

:05:09. > :05:11.a report commissioned by cotncils It suggests more English language
:05:12. > :05:14.classes and greater help for migrants wanting to go back to

:05:33. > :05:38.population is foreign`born, that's Leicester, at 34%, has the
:05:39. > :05:57.highest proportion of immigrants. You can see how that compards with
:05:58. > :05:59.elsewhere in the region. The lowest being South Derbxshire,
:06:00. > :06:01.with 3.3%. Well, it's been commissioned by
:06:02. > :06:05.East Midlands Council, the body that speaks up for our local
:06:06. > :06:08.councils, and its main conclusions are that there's a lack of `wareness
:06:09. > :06:12.and informed discussion. It says the impact of international
:06:13. > :06:15.migration on the East Midlands has It adds that there are parthcular
:06:16. > :06:28.challenges for some communities In a city that says it welcomes

:06:42. > :06:44.that the person is being rude to It's just their way of tellhng,
:06:45. > :06:52.or talking or communicating. But no, we have not had any kind of
:06:53. > :06:55.racial abuse or anything, wd haven't But this is also a city that hasn't
:06:56. > :07:00.always been so welcoming, just ask them at one of the city's
:07:01. > :07:05.Somali community centres. If you go to certain areas, more
:07:06. > :07:09.white`dominated areas, therd has been difficulties for peopld from

:07:23. > :07:28.East Midlands Council, the organisation that represents local
:07:29. > :07:33.government, attempts, in its words, "to shine a light on some of those
:07:34. > :07:36.issues from a local perspective " Yes, there have been huge bdnefits
:07:37. > :07:38.from international migration into the region, also, yes,
:07:39. > :07:42.there have been huge pressures. What the report is there to do is to
:07:43. > :07:45.highlight those pressures, where they're happening and actually put
:07:46. > :07:51.in place some pragmatic solttions. So what we're doing is,
:07:52. > :07:54.we're saying to government, look, some of these issues are
:07:55. > :07:56.operational, we can solve this, we need to work together better
:07:57. > :07:59.we need to better share dat`. The data is out there
:08:00. > :08:02.but we need better access to it that way we can better plan
:08:03. > :08:09.and address some of those concerns. The report also warns
:08:10. > :08:12.of growing racial prejudice. There's probably definitely
:08:13. > :08:16.a need for a certain amount of number control so that wd're not
:08:17. > :08:18.overly populating areas. There must be a limit to
:08:19. > :08:21.what we can do for people. I'm quite happy for cultures and
:08:22. > :08:24.other people to come other, it's As soon as they come over, they ve
:08:25. > :08:29.got somewhere to live and that. They're pushing
:08:30. > :08:30.the English citizens to the side. The impact of migration
:08:31. > :09:26.on communities can be hugelx What does a report want to see done?
:09:27. > :09:30.The councils want more fundhng to help migrants to learn Englhsh, why?
:09:31. > :09:36.They want to get them more hnto the world of work. The report also says
:09:37. > :09:39.that there is no evidence that migration has actually dampdned
:09:40. > :09:43.wages. It is also seeking more money for those migrants that want to
:09:44. > :09:53.return to their original hole and, for example, you can find ott more

:13:33. > :13:35.to patients faster than we have done previously, we are improving

:13:41. > :13:47.on other cases. But we are responding to former patients
:13:48. > :13:51.quicker than we have done. Can you give advice to patients who say that

:15:45. > :15:47.visiting lots of schools, working with teachers, and being thd

:16:12. > :16:15.controversial. What will yot do to deal with the level of discontent
:16:16. > :16:22.within the education system? I think that Michael Gove wasn't excellent
:16:23. > :16:28.Secretary of State. He has really changed the educational landscape in
:16:29. > :16:31.the country. He was really focusing on standards and discipline and the
:16:32. > :16:35.quality of teaching. My rold was very much to build on those reforms
:16:36. > :16:39.and take them forward, no doubt to talk to everybody involved hn the
:16:40. > :16:44.education system and I look forward to the constructive engagemdnt
:16:45. > :16:54.everybody involved. At the heart of education system what we all want is
:16:55. > :16:59.the best at four children. Has been quite a lot of embarrassment, for
:17:00. > :17:06.example the dysfunctional school in Derby. Paid you deal with fdeling
:17:07. > :17:09.free schools? There is a mechanism in place and the Government will
:17:10. > :17:12.take action, working with local Government structures as well. But
:17:13. > :17:19.we should not forget that there have into thirds of our food preschools
:17:20. > :17:24.`` two thirds of our free schools have been classed as outstanding.
:17:25. > :17:27.This is all about meeting p`rental demand for schools. There h`ve been
:17:28. > :17:31.issues, we will deal with those but we also have to recognise the
:17:32. > :17:36.excellence within the education system as well. The Environlent

:19:47. > :19:52.hoping for a top five podiul, which is very feasible. I was third in the
:19:53. > :19:57.junior world, so I was expecting a top ten. That would have bedn an
:19:58. > :20:11.amazing rate. To come third, or even second, would be a dream cole true.
:20:12. > :20:14.At the last Commonwealth Gales there was no mountain bike event. This is
:20:15. > :20:19.my first Commonwealth Games. It is such a great opportunity, to compete

:20:42. > :20:47.when I crossed the finish lhne and I looked up, I thought, that hs
:20:48. > :20:54.incredible, just to have all the support, the crowd and everxthing. I
:20:55. > :20:59.was like, this is the Olymphc Games, to have that in Glasgow would be
:21:00. > :21:06.amazing. Hopefully it will be an incredible experience again.
