:00:07. > :00:08.And now the news for the East Midlands -
:00:09. > :00:19.A little earlier than usual, we are joined by Alex on the sofa because
:00:20. > :00:22.there are things happening out there? Yes, Storm Doris is coming on
:00:23. > :00:28.Thursday, we have an amber warning in place for wind on Thursday, gusts
:00:29. > :00:32.potentially a 50-80 mph, we are crossed that at the moment and the
:00:33. > :00:39.full forecast is later in the programme. Thank you.
:00:40. > :00:42.But first tonight - a new specialist team could be set
:00:43. > :00:44.up to handle young unaccompanied refugees across the East Midlands.
:00:45. > :00:47.Councils are struggling to cover the cost of caring for the children
:00:48. > :00:51.and teenagers who reach these shores as refugees.
:00:52. > :00:56.Here's our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball.
:00:57. > :00:58.Scattered across Europe in winter, tens of thousands
:00:59. > :01:02.of unaccompanied children, many fending for themselves.
:01:03. > :01:05.The Archbishop of Canterbury says Britain must do more and has warned
:01:06. > :01:07.that child refugees face being exploited or even killed
:01:08. > :01:09.after the Government announced one relocation programme
:01:10. > :01:16.This man told me his 16-year-old brother was stranded
:01:17. > :01:21.in the notorious Jungle near Calais but he has been refused permission
:01:22. > :01:23.to bring Solomon to Nottingham under family reunion rights,
:01:24. > :01:26.so now he is offering to take a DNA test.
:01:27. > :01:28.TRANSLATION: All his friends have left.
:01:29. > :01:43.Like most unaccompanied children, he does not have a family
:01:44. > :01:50.here so he was age assessed to check he is under 18 and taken into care.
:01:51. > :01:53.Today this report from the campaign group Nottingham Citizens has urged
:01:54. > :01:55.the city and county councils to take in more teenagers.
:01:56. > :01:57.It wants them to reach the Government's maximum limit
:01:58. > :02:01.for unaccompanied children - one for every 1400 youngsters
:02:02. > :02:06.It also want those children to get school or college
:02:07. > :02:24.We really believe that we are up for this challenge, working together to
:02:25. > :02:30.make a difference for these young children. This is one way they are
:02:31. > :02:31.helping, this course starting at Nottingham University, there are
:02:32. > :02:35.seven unaccompanied children here. The Home Office says it bought more
:02:36. > :02:38.than 900 unaccompanied children from the continent last year,
:02:39. > :02:40.but it needs to balance their needs with local
:02:41. > :02:42.councils capacity to cope. There will be more calls
:02:43. > :02:44.for Government action Well, around ?100 a day
:02:45. > :02:50.from the Government for every one of the 150 unaccompanied youngsters
:02:51. > :02:52.adds up to ?5 million Earlier, I spoke to Stuart Young
:02:53. > :02:56.from the group representing councils in our region and asked him
:02:57. > :03:16.whether that money really isn't We don't know. Because, within that
:03:17. > :03:23.?100 roughly per day, you need to pay for the fostering costs,
:03:24. > :03:27.education, health, and also hiring social workers because all of these
:03:28. > :03:30.vulnerable young people need looking after, and with it comes a
:03:31. > :03:35.significant amount of cost. ?100 per day is not enough. We've done some
:03:36. > :03:36.work and the terror from the government barely covers half of the
:03:37. > :03:49.costs. -- Pete -- the tariff. The government need
:03:50. > :03:54.to understand the true cost of looking after these children. Local
:03:55. > :03:59.authorities are looking at ways of driving down costs like joint
:04:00. > :04:01.procurement of places potentially, or advanced purchasing of the
:04:02. > :04:07.placements, that's another way of driving down costs. Alongside that,
:04:08. > :04:10.we are looking at potential joint arrangements, because the more
:04:11. > :04:14.arrangements you Johnny procures another way of driving down costs.
:04:15. > :04:19.Looking at different options in terms of can we do this more
:04:20. > :04:22.effectively and efficiently to get down costs? What happens to these
:04:23. > :04:25.children in the end, do they ultimately go back to where they
:04:26. > :04:30.came from or are they here for keeps? It's another question in
:04:31. > :04:33.terms of seeking clarity from the government. We have an obligation to
:04:34. > :04:40.look after them for a number of years but in terms of long-term
:04:41. > :04:44.arrangements for these child refugees, and refugees coming over
:04:45. > :04:47.for the serious game, what are the long-term expectations of
:04:48. > :04:51.government, and how will authorities be expected to look after them? Many
:04:52. > :04:52.questions that would take a long time to answer, thank you for
:04:53. > :04:58.speaking to us. You are welcome. People in the village of Kegworth,
:04:59. > :05:00.near East Midlands Airport, have been meeting tonight
:05:01. > :05:03.to voice their views on the new The change to the high speed train's
:05:04. > :05:07.route has now brought it a lot closer to the village
:05:08. > :05:10.and could threaten the plans Our reporter Navtej Johal's been
:05:11. > :05:13.in Kegworth tonight. It's the village which is no
:05:14. > :05:15.stranger to big transport projects, located near East Midlands Airport
:05:16. > :05:18.and the M1, but Kegworth wasn't supposed to be
:05:19. > :05:20.significantly affected by HS2. Original plans showed the line
:05:21. > :05:22.would go under the airport, but in November it was changed
:05:23. > :05:29.and will now go around it and threw but in November it was
:05:30. > :05:32.changed and will now go One of the casualties of the change
:05:33. > :05:36.could be two proposed new housing developments,
:05:37. > :05:38.based here, providing 300 The plans for HS2 run straight
:05:39. > :05:49.through the two developments. No idea what impact that will have,
:05:50. > :05:52.but it puts them at risk, I guess. At this meeting, held by the parish
:05:53. > :05:55.council tonight, villagers came to express their views
:05:56. > :05:58.on the new route for the final time. People need places to live,
:05:59. > :06:01.that will be a much better use Then, all of a sudden, they've
:06:02. > :06:10.decided to swap it to our side, what impact will it have
:06:11. > :06:12.on the village? I think it's a bad thing,
:06:13. > :06:15.they should be creating homes. It will be going through
:06:16. > :06:17.housing, proposed housing, I've spoken today to the developer
:06:18. > :06:30.behind most of those planned new homes but it says that it
:06:31. > :06:33.will not be commenting on the change of route until after
:06:34. > :06:35.the consultation is over, Next - flytippers have poured two
:06:36. > :06:41.lorry loads of rubbish on the side These piles were dumped
:06:42. > :06:47.near Hinckley, just off the A47. The local council believes
:06:48. > :06:54.its commercial waste. The eyesore was called
:06:55. > :06:56.in to the council on Saturday morning and officials think it
:06:57. > :06:59.will cost about ?6,000 They want anyone with
:07:00. > :07:02.information to get in touch. A group of tenants at a Derbyshire
:07:03. > :07:05.caravan park have been told to leave immediately and take their holiday
:07:06. > :07:07.homes with them. Some tenants are angry at the way
:07:08. > :07:10.they were told to go. The owners said the park
:07:11. > :07:27.wasn't safe - though it This small caravan site is used by
:07:28. > :07:30.about 50 people as a getaway but out of the blue last week, they received
:07:31. > :07:34.a letter from the owners telling them to remove their holiday homes
:07:35. > :07:39.and possessions with immediate effect. It was shocking, that anyone
:07:40. > :07:44.could treat anybody like that, not just ask all these people, but to
:07:45. > :07:49.treat anybody like that. An abrupt letter like that. Most of these
:07:50. > :07:54.caravans have been here 30 years or more, some of them. I'm afraid that
:07:55. > :07:56.if they were moved, most of them would collapse. Many people here
:07:57. > :08:00.have already cleared out the have already cleared out the
:08:01. > :08:04.caravans, afraid that otherwise their belongings could be lost. For
:08:05. > :08:09.people like Pat, this site holds happy memories. We've been coming
:08:10. > :08:14.here for years, the grand kids love it. We spend a lot of time here,
:08:15. > :08:18.it's been a second home. Residents say that they struggled to get
:08:19. > :08:20.answers from the new owners, Countrywide Park homes, but in a
:08:21. > :08:48.statement they told us... Furious! Why can they contact... Why
:08:49. > :08:49.was there no contact with us? Why have they let us go through all
:08:50. > :08:54.this? Onto sport and Derby County hosted
:08:55. > :08:57.Burton Albion for the first time A return to Pride Park
:08:58. > :09:04.for Nigel Clough who was sacked by the Rams four years ago -
