And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Dominic Heale. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Jobs news first, and today's labour market fhgures | :00:18. | :00:26. | |
show that last year the East Midlands saw the biggest drop in the | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
rate of unemployment in the country. | :00:30. | :00:30. | |
The latest annual figures show the number of people out of work | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
With a closer look at what the numbers mean, here's | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
There's a spring in the step of this jobcentre manager. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
Andrew Pidluznyj runs the office in Nottingham that covers most | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
of the East Midlands and finding work for job`sedkers | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
There is also a move towards more provision of online services | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
as well, so there are opportunities coming through that. | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
The care sector continues to offer opportunities, as does health care | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
in particular, and retail also has opportunities too. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
There are now 126,000 out of work in the East Midlands. | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
That's down by 55,000 on the same quarter last ye`r. | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
An unemployment rate of 5.4$, one of the lowest of any English rdgion. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
We've come a long way since the depths of the economic crash. | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
We're also in a situation where a lot of companies are now downsizing | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Clearly there are still somd companies shedding labour. | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
I've been looking for six months for any job, whether it is retail | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
or absolutely anything, offhce work, and there is just nothing | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
There's hardly any jobs out there for youngsters. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
We're definitely not out of the woods yet, it still could be | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
And today, 22`year`old Leo from Nottingham struggled to find | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
work after graduating from university in psychology. | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
From your personal experience, is it easier | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
I'm not sure if it is easier but because we are all more aware of the | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
fact lots of young people don't have jobs, there is more opportunity | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
given out and advice given to young people on how to get the jobs. | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
The likelihood is that we'rd going to see that continue to fall. | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
I think it's really a questhon of what rate it falls out, | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
whether it flattens out a bit or whether it continuds | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
the very steep drop we have seen in the previous seven months. | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
These figures will be seen as a welcome snapshot of a reviving | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
economy in the region, and politically too for our Conservative | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
MPs in those many marginal constituencies, a sense of shared | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
confidence that they won't be having to look for a new job | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
A plane from the East Midlands has arrivdd in | :02:33. | :02:42. | |
Cyprus carrying aid for thotsands of desperate people in northern Iraq. | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
It took off at lunchtime carrying specialist water containers | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
The containers are being filled before being flown to the Shnjar | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
mountain range where thousands of refugees are trapped. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
It's a very desperate situation especially for the Yazidi community | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
Temperatures are obviously very high over there. | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
There aren't any freshwater supplies. | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
So the supplies that we're sending out, and particularly the w`ter | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
containers that can be used to filtrate water, that's essential | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
for them to be able to turn dirty water into clean water and keep | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
An inquest into the death of the Derbyshire medical student | :03:18. | :03:26. | |
Neil Dalton in Malaysia will be opened in Derby on Friday. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
Neil, who was 22, was stabbed alongside | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
his friend Aidan Brunger in the town of Kuching in Borneo last wdek. | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
A post mortem examination whll be carried out on Mr Brunger's body | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
Graffiti appearing to refer to a child custody case has bedn | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
sprayed on the car and home of Mansfield's elected mayor. | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
Tony Egginton believes he w`s wrongly targeted as he hasn't | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Graffiti was also sprayed on the doors of | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
You don't expect these things to come along with public office. | :03:59. | :04:10. | |
The theory is, because of the wording etc, there has been a court | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
case recently where somebodx has had their children taken away from them. | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
There was some change in law and they've taken it out | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
on my home and on the county council registry office. | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
Some wonderful footage now of something that hasn't bedn seen | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
since the Sixties, two Lancaster bombers flying | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
One is stationed here, with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
Gemma Dawson was at RAF Conhngsby to see a bit of history being lade | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
This is the first time Lanc`sters have flown in formation herd | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
To see these two together is just unbelievable. | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
To be this close to them as well, it's amazing, really. | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
Just sends shivers up your spine, really does. | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
This flight was due to happdn last week when the Canadian Lanc`ster | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
Bad weather, though, meant it had to land at | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
Today, though, the last two airworthy Lancasters in the world | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
These are difficult aircraft to fly in formation with one anothdr, | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
especially on a breezy day like today. | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
They are inclined to be blown around a lot, the poor pilots have | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
to work extremely hard to kdep the aircraft in the correct | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
Watching today's flight is Stan Instone, a Lancaster engineer | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
When I heard the engines, those flew over, the hairs on | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
the back of my neck stood up and I felt a shivery sensation, actually. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
It's a long, long time since I actually flew | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
It brought back a lot of melories, actually. | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
After a short wait it was thme for another test flight | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
and another chance to see these two aircraft together | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
Football now and one result this evening in the League Cup. | :06:07. | :06:20. | |

In the second round draw, Nottingham Forest will travel to Huddersfield. | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
Derby County are at home to Charlton and Leicester City are also | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
That's your news, so it's goodbye from me. | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
But with your weather now, here's Anna Church. | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
A few showers around to avohd today and that is the theme heading into | :06:41. | :06:45. | |

view showers. Mostly dry, clear spells, feeling cool in the areas | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
and a fresher feel generallx with temperatures of 12 Celsius. A good | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
deal of dry weather first thing tomorrow but heading through the | :07:09. | :07:11. | |

bad, high pressure building to give a largely settled day. I will leave | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
you with your outlook for Good evening. Most of the weather | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
action today has been centred across central Europe, with some stormy | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
weather moving through France, across Germany, through the Alps, | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
clusters of thunder storms, responsible for exacerbating the | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
mudslide situation in Switzerland and delaying the evening start of | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
the athletics championships in Zurich. Back to the UK, any showers | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
inland starting to fade tonight We keep a few showers in the far north | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
of Scotland, Northern Ireland and north Wales. Clearer skies in | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
central and eastern areas. 11-1 Celsius. A more comfortable night. | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
Tomorrow, relatively quiet. But it won't be long before showers | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
develop, some heavy and slow | :08:26. | :08:26. |
