:01:00. > :01:01.with Dominic Heale and me, Anne Davies.
:01:02. > :01:03.First tonight, what's happening to our pay?
:01:04. > :01:04.It's lagging behind, is the answer.
:01:05. > :01:07.Every year, the Office for National Statistics isstes a big
:01:08. > :01:09.report into how much we're darning, where the highest wages are,
:01:10. > :01:19.I'll be speaking to Chris Hobbs representing the employer
:01:20. > :01:21.in a moment, but first, Dom's been going through thd ones
:01:22. > :01:26.These are the provisional figures for 2016.
:01:27. > :01:28.The headline figure the ONS uses is the weekly gross median
:01:29. > :01:36.This time round, the East Mhdlands saw the second lowest
:01:37. > :01:38.increase in earnings in the first half of 2016.
:01:39. > :01:49.The median weekly pay in the East Midlands is ?483.
:01:50. > :01:55.The group at the top of the earnings tree,
:01:56. > :02:00.corporate managers and directors are on ?765 a week.
:02:01. > :02:06.At the other end, people working in retail sales,
:02:07. > :02:09.they're on an average of ?332 a week, or around ?16,800.
:02:10. > :02:20.And carers on almost the same, at ?17,000.
:02:21. > :02:28.That's not good news for pax in this region - what's going on?
:02:29. > :02:36.I think it's important to dhg behind the figure. In the East Midlands, we
:02:37. > :02:39.have a diverse community and that means there are some areas `nd
:02:40. > :02:44.sectors and job role is doing particularly well and others where
:02:45. > :02:49.we have been struggling. He has been constrained in the public sdctor.
:02:50. > :02:53.And broadly, we've been cre`ting jobs quite fast. If you are out of
:02:54. > :02:55.work this time last year, there s a chance you will be in where now
:02:56. > :02:57.But we DO have a lot of low-paid people.
:02:58. > :02:59.Others stats from this survey show 1.6% of jobs
:03:00. > :03:02.in the East Midlands were p`id below the minimum wage.
:03:03. > :03:11.From the introduction of the National Living Wage, wd've seen
:03:12. > :03:12.employers trying to recoup this additional cost.
:03:13. > :03:14.They've done that by trying to reduced shift premiums,
:03:15. > :03:16.overtime rates and taking away paid breaks.
:03:17. > :03:19.This has meant that people's take-home pay has stayed thd same
:03:20. > :03:33.and those below 25 have seen a reduction in their pay.
:03:34. > :03:44.The employer 's claw by wagds through other means? I don't think
:03:45. > :03:48.so. As any responsible employer would, they are looking across the
:03:49. > :03:49.whole spectrum, particularlx when we think about the uncertainty coming
:03:50. > :03:49.up. Well, let's hear what peopld
:03:50. > :03:51.are saying about the What is going into
:03:52. > :03:54.the account is less than what is going out,
:03:55. > :03:56.so the Government should really increase it
:03:57. > :04:00.and I think families are struggling. I think there's been underinvestment
:04:01. > :04:02.in the East Midlands. I probably see that
:04:03. > :04:05.on a daily basis. I don't think there's as much
:04:06. > :04:07.investment here as there is in other
:04:08. > :04:10.parts of the country. I read in the paper today
:04:11. > :04:13.that they reckon even nurses are If you work it out,
:04:14. > :04:21.it's not a fat lot Bills are increasing and it's tough
:04:22. > :04:25.times for everybody. And I think with Brexit,
:04:26. > :04:26.it will Now, economic growth
:04:27. > :04:33.affects pay, obviously. Today, we heard that the EU
:04:34. > :04:36.referendum doesn't appear to have How is this region fixed
:04:37. > :04:52.to face the Brexit process? Well, we surveyed members about this
:04:53. > :04:55.and by and large, after the referendum, they did well and we saw
:04:56. > :05:03.that any figures today. There uncertainty ahead, but no one will
:05:04. > :05:09.know. I think the diversity in terms of our business community stands in
:05:10. > :05:12.good stead and the appetite well, businesses are confident and they
:05:13. > :05:12.see opportunities and I will be an opportunity going forward.
:05:13. > :05:15.Well, Dom's found a few mord nuggets in the survey.
:05:16. > :05:19.Geography's interesting - lots of variation.
:05:20. > :05:21.Derby South comes in top thhs time with average earnings

:05:42. > :05:43.Male weekly pay is, on average, ?529.30 a week.
:05:44. > :06:05.We'll come onto that in a moment. He mentioned the geographical
:06:06. > :06:09.variation. Do we have too m`ny low-paid areas in the East Lidlands?
:06:10. > :06:18.You will always be an interdsting region, because we are so dhverse.
:06:19. > :06:23.There is a Rolls-Royce and Toyota and we've got old coal mining sites

:06:30. > :06:36.East Midlands. The difference between men and women, 25%? This is
:06:37. > :06:39.a problem for society. It is about ensuring young girls at school being

:19:12. > :19:14.a truly profound effect on football history,
:19:15. > :19:15.founding one of Its a story that, until a fdw years
:19:16. > :19:20.ago, hardly anyone knew. The man's name was
:19:21. > :19:21.Herbert Kilpin. In the late 1900s, this now ropey
:19:22. > :19:32.building on Mansfield Road Kilpin was a butcher's son,
:19:33. > :19:35.who went into the lace And while he was there,
:19:36. > :19:39.he founded and led the Milan Which went onto become seven-time
:19:40. > :19:47.European Cup winning side, @C Milan. And now at last, Kilpin's
:19:48. > :19:50.being acknowledged in his home city with a plaque on that shop
:19:51. > :19:55.and a new biography. I'm delighted to say that book's
:19:56. > :20:00.author is here, Robert Nierh. Alongside the man who a few years
:20:01. > :20:03.ago restored him to his rightful place in Milan's
:20:04. > :20:06.folklore, Luigi La Rocca. Robert, what inspires
:20:07. > :20:18.you about this story? I think you've already expl`ined it.
:20:19. > :20:21.He was no ordinary chap born in Mansfield Road and ended up founding
:20:22. > :20:28.AC Milan, all of the greatest in the world. But he wasn't good enough to
:20:29. > :20:33.play the county of forest! Bye-macro Luigi, why did you work so hard on
:20:34. > :20:45.this project? I were to livd for 20 years so I found this
:20:46. > :20:58.footballer, I recognised for him that he was the father of Italian
:20:59. > :20:59.football and this I am very happy to have found. You've done a rdmarkable
:21:00. > :21:15.job. The figure of Herbert Kilpin in
:21:16. > :21:16.Milan is very important. We can see here some of the stuff that goes on
:21:17. > :21:18.around the stadium. And why does it matter
:21:19. > :21:27.that we acknowledge him herd? Because he was the father of Italian
:21:28. > :21:31.football and they won the World Cup four times. Still leading the way!
:21:32. > :21:37.And this is a city of footb`ll, so we owe him a recognition for he did,
:21:38. > :21:41.even if it was abroad. And we can see humble beginnings there. How
:21:42. > :21:47.pleased I used to see the shgns going up and have the bus n`med
:21:48. > :21:49.after him? Fantastic. There's a book, a pub, a black, and this is
:21:50. > :21:58.the centenary year. There was an amateur in vertigo one,
:21:59. > :22:02.he gave me the papers in Milan and say give it about you have finished
:22:03. > :22:10.the book. There were lots of holes in the story, so I had to fhll the

:24:25. > :24:32.they can look up, rather th`n down. Often, we make individual mhstakes
:24:33. > :24:35.and for that it is difficult, but I know what the team can do,

:25:52. > :25:56.the UK. It remains until thd weekend. A weather front crdeps into
:25:57. > :26:02.northern parts and that will be a weak affair. It will affect others,
:26:03. > :26:08.giving us cloud and light r`in, perhaps drizzle. Otherwise, it is as
:26:09. > :26:14.you were. Fairly cloudy tomorrow. Though we are staying mild.
