:00:00. > :00:00.We're examining that now, on BBC Two.
:00:00. > :00:16.And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Dominic Heale.
:00:17. > :00:20.More vigils of solidarity have been held across the East Midlands
:00:21. > :00:22.to show support for the victims of Monday night's terror
:00:23. > :00:28.Messages of peace and unity were delivered by leaders of all faiths.
:00:29. > :00:32.And today, across this region, a minute's silence was observed
:00:33. > :00:54.Flowers were handed out, a symbol of peace for those who lost their
:00:55. > :01:00.lives. These Nottingham teenagers were at the arena. The are believed
:01:01. > :01:08.to have escaped unharmed, but are in shock at how close they came. I
:01:09. > :01:14.haven't got words for it yet. It hasn't sunk in. It's scary. Why was
:01:15. > :01:18.it important to you to come to light? To get the message across
:01:19. > :01:25.that we need to stand together. And stand together they did. This was a
:01:26. > :01:30.multi-faith vigil with all speakers encouraging people to oppose hatred.
:01:31. > :01:35.This is about love, love that overcomes hate, love that unites and
:01:36. > :01:38.love that compels us to come together to act with and Ford each
:01:39. > :01:46.other for all people in this great city. We feel sorry for the innocent
:01:47. > :01:50.people who have been injured and died out there.
:01:51. > :01:55.It's a problem we all share whatever our race, nationality or religion.
:01:56. > :01:58.The love we have will overcome any hate.
:01:59. > :02:02.No matter your nationality or race we should come together and show
:02:03. > :02:06.that hatred will not win. A reminder of the threat was
:02:07. > :02:12.constantly present, armed police patrolling the streets while the
:02:13. > :02:16.threat level remains critical. The officers have been overwhelmed
:02:17. > :02:20.with messages of support from the public. They offer a real
:02:21. > :02:25.reassurance message. This evening vigils were held in
:02:26. > :02:29.Loughborough and outside a mosque in Leicester where prayers were said
:02:30. > :02:35.for peace. There's been one method which has come over loud and clear
:02:36. > :02:38.at this vigil this evening. That is this, acts of terror will not divide
:02:39. > :02:50.communities. They will bring them together.
:02:51. > :02:58.A minute silence was held across the East Midlands today as crowds fell
:02:59. > :03:03.silent at 11am in shopping malt, parks and all public spaces.
:03:04. > :03:06.silence was also observed in schools.
:03:07. > :03:08.Teachers have said they know the bomb attack, which targeted
:03:09. > :03:10.youngsters and their parents, has especially upset pupils.
:03:11. > :03:23.At 11 o'clock, all the classes start at St John Horton Academy
:03:24. > :03:25.in Kirkhallam in Derbyshire for students to pay
:03:26. > :03:29.These year-nine pupils said it was important than to spend time
:03:30. > :03:33.It's just about remembering all of the people that died
:03:34. > :03:38.I was just thinking about everyone's parents and what they're
:03:39. > :03:44.Just thinking about their sadness and grief.
:03:45. > :03:49.Not a lot of recognition has been sent to the families of people
:03:50. > :03:53.who have lost family members in the attack.
:03:54. > :03:55.Across the county border in Nottingham, sixth form students
:03:56. > :03:58.at Bilborough College also stood in silence, many said
:03:59. > :04:01.they were affected by the tragedy because so many of the victims
:04:02. > :04:06.It's very close to us because we would go to a concert
:04:07. > :04:09.like that and it can happen out of anywhere, and I think just
:04:10. > :04:12.to show some respect to the people, we should also stand together
:04:13. > :04:19.This is been an attack on freedom, our Western values but also on young
:04:20. > :04:21.people and that is what personally hit me so hard.
:04:22. > :04:26.My mum and my grandparents are really like, no,
:04:27. > :04:28.you can't go to any more, because it's really,
:04:29. > :04:32.In Leicester, at a memorial rather than in a school setting,
:04:33. > :04:34.but young people also thinking of their peers killed
:04:35. > :04:39.It's important to give respect to those who went to the concert
:04:40. > :04:43.who went with happiness and came back with sadness because they lost
:04:44. > :04:50.When we were doing this moment of silence, I was just thinking
:04:51. > :04:53.about all the times that people have come out in support from our
:04:54. > :04:56.religion and my faith and I was thinking that those people
:04:57. > :04:59.are innocent and their lives did not need to be taken.
:05:00. > :05:02.They were good people and what that man is, he has no excuse,
:05:03. > :05:05.so this one-minute silence is just remembering those people
:05:06. > :05:11.and giving them happiness, because they deserve it.
:05:12. > :05:13.Immigration figures were released today, revealing a slight drop
:05:14. > :05:16.in the total net migration figure for the UK.
:05:17. > :05:22.It's a subject likely to be addressed in the last two
:05:23. > :05:25.weeks of campaigning for the General Election, which gets
:05:26. > :05:29.Our Social Affairs Correspondent, Jeremy Ball reports
:05:30. > :05:33.How should we control freedom of movement?
:05:34. > :05:35.Immigration has always been contentious, but the next
:05:36. > :05:38.governemnt's going to face some tough decisions about who this
:05:39. > :05:44.Our journey begins in one of Nottinghamshire's former pit
:05:45. > :05:49.towns and at our first stop, it's market day.
:05:50. > :05:54.My lad can't get a job, he employed two Poles who got rid of him.
:05:55. > :05:57.There's not enough jobs for our people to get nowadays.
:05:58. > :06:00.We've always had immigrants, foreigners who support us the way
:06:01. > :06:04.they do, and they are putting stuff back into the country.
:06:05. > :06:07.It's pretty clear that a lot of voters are worried that
:06:08. > :06:08.immigration is damaging their communities, putting
:06:09. > :06:11.pressure on local services and driving down wages, too.
:06:12. > :06:15.On the other hand, employers from farms to carers often
:06:16. > :06:21.depend on migrant workers, and many experts argue that
:06:22. > :06:23.immigrants are more likely to be paying tax then claiming
:06:24. > :06:28.If you want to know if they think, take the train to Hysen Green,
:06:29. > :06:31.where at one off-licence I found out smile he came here from Afghanistan.
:06:32. > :06:34.I work here full-time so that I can pay tax.
:06:35. > :06:36.Do you feel like you're making a contribution?
:06:37. > :06:43.Ajmal's local customers come from as far afield
:06:44. > :06:53.From education to the health service, at the Queens Medical
:06:54. > :06:55.Centre, many people are worried about foreign patients
:06:56. > :06:57.getting treatment here, but nursing leaders are more
:06:58. > :07:00.They are keeping the National Health Service going, so without them,
:07:01. > :07:04.Shouldn't we just give those jobs to British nurses instead?
:07:05. > :07:06.We need foreign nurses to continue to come.
:07:07. > :07:09.They are plugging huge gaps that we've got, because we haven't
:07:10. > :07:12.So what do they think about that down the line in suburban Beeston?
:07:13. > :07:15.We need as many outsiders coming in to do the work that
:07:16. > :07:19.unfortunately ours are not able or not capable or not willing to do.
:07:20. > :07:23.The country is too small, physically.
:07:24. > :07:28.Getting immigration right is a difficult balance
:07:29. > :07:37.That all depends on who wins on polling day.
:07:38. > :07:39.More than one thousand men from India, who lost their lives
:07:40. > :07:42.in World War One, have been remembered at a special
:07:43. > :07:47.The Indian Labour Corps had a non-combat role,
:07:48. > :07:51.providing service work to the British Army.
:07:52. > :07:53.Today's event happened at the same time as a similar
:07:54. > :07:55.one thousands of miles away, in Delhi.
:07:56. > :08:00.Over 200 people, including children and dignitaries,
:08:01. > :08:03.gathered in Victoria Park in Leicester to commemorate
:08:04. > :08:09.Pupils from nearby schools tied messages of thanks to those
:08:10. > :08:18.I wrote thank you for giving your lives for us and for your braveness,
:08:19. > :08:23.As the service got underway, at the same time, thousands
:08:24. > :08:28.of miles away in Delhi, a similar service was taking place,
:08:29. > :08:31.connecting the two memorials, which were designed by the same
:08:32. > :08:34.architect, together for the first time.
:08:35. > :08:40.Over one million Indian soldiers, officers and troops participated
:08:41. > :08:42.but what is not commemorated very often is the contribution made
:08:43. > :08:45.by the Labour Corps and as part of the larger labour corps that
:08:46. > :08:49.fought in World War I, the Indian Labour Corps
:08:50. > :08:53.Children came with placards, each bearing the name of a member
:08:54. > :09:02.We should remember them because they have done it for us
:09:03. > :09:09.We have to remember all these people that died and fought to bring peace.
:09:10. > :09:14.They've been known as the Unremembered,
:09:15. > :09:17.the 1,174 men from the Indian Labour Corps.
:09:18. > :09:21.The workers who died supporting the soldiers during World War I.
:09:22. > :09:34.So, it's goodbye from me, - but with your weather
:09:35. > :09:45.Thank you. As we go through the next few days we lose some of the high
:09:46. > :09:51.temperatures and sunshine. But still not looking too bad over bank
:09:52. > :09:55.holiday weekend. Earlier on today beautiful sunshine across the whole
:09:56. > :10:02.of the East Midlands, barely a cloud in the sky. A little hazy as we went
:10:03. > :10:06.through the sap to be progressed in. High still in charge of the weather,
:10:07. > :10:13.but low-pressure starting to move in. That could bring some downpours
:10:14. > :10:19.on Saturday. Looking at the detail overnight tonight, barely a cloud in
:10:20. > :10:22.the sky. A starry night ahead. Maggie and humid. Quite
:10:23. > :10:31.uncomfortable. Those around 13 or 14 Celsius. In 11 or 12 in the
:10:32. > :10:35.countryside. We are expecting very high levels of UV tomorrow so take
:10:36. > :10:41.precautions. Take your suncream with you. It's a repeat performance
:10:42. > :10:45.tomorrow. A bright and sunny note, a little bit of cloud building up over
:10:46. > :10:51.the course of the day, here and there. Again, feeling quite humid.
:10:52. > :10:57.As we have a look ahead to Saturday we see that cold front moving in, we
:10:58. > :11:01.see those patchy showers, possibly thundery rain, temperatures not
:11:02. > :11:03.doing too badly. High-pressure returns next week. I leave you with
:11:04. > :11:15.the Outlook. Next You would expect strong sunshine at
:11:16. > :11:19.this time of year, but it has been stronger than you would normally
:11:20. > :11:28.expect, and that continues tomorrow. It has been the hottest day of the
:11:29. > :11:33.year so far. I suspect we might beat those temperatures tomorrow. We have
:11:34. > :11:39.had made 20s for many, barely a cloud in the sky. This is how it
:11:40. > :11:40.looked in Cornwall this afternoon, and a beautiful sunset as
