And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Anne Davhs.

:00:14.:00:16.

A black police inspector from Leicestershire has been chosen

:00:17.:00:20.

to reform the way that forcds across the country use controversial

:00:21.:00:24.

Nick Glynn has been seconded to the College of Policing after the Home

:00:25.:00:29.

Secretary said ethnic minorhties were being targeted unfairlx.

:00:30.:00:33.

He's been speaking to our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jerely Ball.

:00:34.:00:38.

This police inspector has fhrst`hand experience of what it's

:00:39.:00:41.

When he is not in uniform, Nick Glynn has been targeted by

:00:42.:00:46.

He has already been advising Leicestershire police and now he's

:00:47.:00:51.

People are rightly concerned and we know we need to make some changes.

:00:52.:00:56.

Over 50% of stop and searches are focused

:00:57.:00:58.

on street possession of drugs, and while that is an important hssue,

:00:59.:01:01.

we need the stop and searchds to be focused on the big prioritids.

:01:02.:01:07.

Robbery, street crime, violent crime, burglary.

:01:08.:01:10.

Stop and search is a powerful way for police to prevent

:01:11.:01:15.

crime, but the government is worried that it is damaging community

:01:16.:01:19.

relations because some groups are being stopped more frequently.

:01:20.:01:22.

Over the past year in Nottinghamshire, black people were

:01:23.:01:25.

four times more likely than white people to be stopped and se`rched.

:01:26.:01:29.

That is only slightly less than the previous year.

:01:30.:01:32.

In Leicestershire, there was a fourfold difference, too, btt there

:01:33.:01:35.

In Derbyshire, you are now almost three times more likdly to

:01:36.:01:40.

People from other ethnic minorities were less likely to be stopped

:01:41.:01:44.

and searched, but for these police cadets

:01:45.:01:46.

My best mate got stopped and searched. He is Muslim.

:01:47.:01:51.

He found that quite offensive. Obviously terrorism, 9/11, dtc. .

:01:52.:01:57.

He didn't talk to me for a good week.

:01:58.:02:02.

When I did get stopped and searched, it did make me not want to join the

:02:03.:02:06.

But it's the job, we have got to do that and I respected that, really.

:02:07.:02:11.

Now every front`line officer in Nottinghamshire is being trained

:02:12.:02:18.

to use stop and search powers fairly, but Nick Glynn

:02:19.:02:23.

If an individual doesn't fedl that the police are there for thdm,

:02:24.:02:27.

it does have a damaging effdct on trusting the police and involvement

:02:28.:02:30.

So we absolutely need to get it right every time we use ht.

:02:31.:02:34.

The government is watching stop and search closely and if the fhgures

:02:35.:02:37.

don't improve, the Home Secretary says she will change the law.

:02:38.:02:45.

A man has been charged with the murder of a Derbyshire ledical

:02:46.:02:48.

Neil Dalton, from Ambergate, and Aidan Brunger were stabbed to

:02:49.:02:53.

death two weeks ago in the town of Kuching.

:02:54.:02:56.

Five Malaysian men were arrdsted at the time.

:02:57.:02:59.

A 23`year`old fishmonger has now been charged and faces

:03:00.:03:03.

The other four will appear as prosecution witnesses.

:03:04.:03:09.

the East Midlands has seen one of the biggest increases

:03:10.:03:13.

That's according to a survex by VisitEngland.

:03:14.:03:18.

It also found more tourist attractions are turning to digital

:03:19.:03:21.

technology to draw people in, as Geeta Pendse reports.

:03:22.:03:27.

And you can't make a gunpowder without soap, Pdter

:03:28.:03:32.

Journey back to the 1600s and Newark's role at the centre

:03:33.:03:34.

Today, a production company has been capturing this moment of history

:03:35.:03:40.

So there will be a trigger hmage at several sites around the Newark

:03:41.:03:48.

which people can use their mobile phone or iPads or

:03:49.:03:51.

tablets and they can access that trigger image which will thdn

:03:52.:03:57.

It sort of allows you to make your own trail around Newark.

:03:58.:04:05.

The National Civil War Centre, which opens next year, came up with

:04:06.:04:08.

VisitEngland says more placds are using digital technologx

:04:09.:04:13.

According to the VisitEngland survey, Rufford Abbey and

:04:14.:04:18.

Country Park was the most popular free attraction in 2013.

:04:19.:04:23.

Also in the top five were Sherwood Forest Country Park, Wollaton Hall,

:04:24.:04:27.

Attenborough Natural Reservd and the New Walk Museum in Leicdster.

:04:28.:04:32.

Now it comes to paid attractions, Chatsworth House is still top of the

:04:33.:04:36.

list in East Midlands, even though visitor numbers have dropped by 9%

:04:37.:04:41.

Also in the top five, the Calke Abbey, the

:04:42.:04:46.

National Space Centre, Belton House in Lincolnshire and Hardwick Hall.

:04:47.:04:52.

Back to the set in Derbyshire and the crew are hoping these short

:04:53.:04:56.

films will also be a another reason tourists flock to the East Lidlands.

:04:57.:05:05.

Earlier, I spoke to Sarah Long from VisitEngland.

:05:06.:05:08.

I asked her why tourism in the East Midlands was doing so well

:05:09.:05:16.

There are a lot of different reasons. Firstly, the East Lidlands

:05:17.:05:23.

are a great destination. Thdre are a lot of reasons to go there `nyways.

:05:24.:05:28.

Fantastic countryside, great cities. There are lots of reasons. How

:05:29.:05:33.

important our new technologhes? Remax new technologies has proved to

:05:34.:05:41.

be incredibly important. Those. Communities that are up fivd

:05:42.:05:48.

invested in new technologies. They are keeping up visitor trends. They

:05:49.:05:55.

are researching their days out while they are on the go, on their

:05:56.:06:01.

tablets. Looking ahead, is ` future good? I think it is. Visits to

:06:02.:06:08.

historic houses were up, th`t is a another reason why the East Midlands

:06:09.:06:09.

is doing so well. Thank you. Onto football,

:06:10.:06:15.

and a busy night for our te`ms. In the Championship, Nottingham

:06:16.:06:17.

Forest won away at Bournemotth, 2`1. In Division One, Notts County beat

:06:18.:06:19.

Colchester by two goals to one. And in Division Two,

:06:20.:06:23.

Mansfield beat Newport County, `0. So, it's goodbye from me,

:06:24.:06:27.

but with your weather now, It has been a decent day, and

:06:28.:06:46.

despite those wins. I can't give you a completely dry day tomorrow, but

:06:47.:06:50.

those hours will be isolated. It will be later. It is paying on that

:06:51.:06:56.

cool side, and certainly cold nights to come tonight. It will relain dry.

:06:57.:07:03.

Temperatures will be going hnto single figures. Maybe as low as four

:07:04.:07:09.

or five Celsius. Tomorrow morning, a chilly start. A great start, though,

:07:10.:07:14.

lots of sunshine around in the morning. A lot of clouds increase in

:07:15.:07:18.

the afternoon, with some isolated showers later on in the day, but

:07:19.:07:23.

plenty of sunshine in betwedn. Those temperatures are struggling once

:07:24.:07:27.

again, we will get up to 16 or 7 Celsius.

:07:28.:07:29.

In a few moments we will have a full national forecast,

:07:30.:07:31.

but for now I'll leave you with a look at the outlook.

:07:32.:07:33.

looking at the risk of showers for Friday though.

:07:34.:07:41.

Good evening. Autumn, August. It's an easy slip of the tongue to make,

:07:42.:07:48.

but the two do seem mixed up at the moment. Tomorrow morning, you could

:07:49.:07:52.

be forgiven for thinking it's October, as you step out the door.

:07:53.:07:59.

It's going to be cold. Why so chilly, well, because we are drawing

:08:00.:08:03.

the air down from the north and the brisk breeze dies down. The showers

:08:04.:08:07.

disappear and the temperatures tumble. Towns and cities nine or

:08:08.:08:13.

ten. In rural areas widely down to four or five degrees and some places

:08:14.:08:18.

just two or three above freezing.
