:01:17. > :01:18.Sensible precautions taken, people being careful but yes, of
:01:19. > :01:23.Why should we let this stop anything?
:01:24. > :01:25.I take my lead both from the Mayor of
:01:26. > :01:34.And that was a decision we arrived at on Tuesday.
:01:35. > :01:36.Police forces in our region say people need to be cautious
:01:37. > :01:47.but the extra patrols are purely precautionary.
:01:48. > :01:49.You'll see more police officers around, some of those will be armed.
:01:50. > :01:52.Some will be unarmed and that's simply there to reassure people we
:01:53. > :01:55.need to keep on living our lives and that's
:01:56. > :01:56.the message that I want to
:01:57. > :02:02.give to the people of Nottinghamshire.
:02:03. > :02:05.Joining me now is Murray Stewart who's one of the organisers
:02:06. > :02:12.You've got the perfect weather but in the wake of what happened earlier
:02:13. > :02:18.this week, have you had to security?
:02:19. > :02:23.We have. Estimates and any large event, they all have got emergency
:02:24. > :02:24.plans in place but when happens as recently to a large event it does
:02:25. > :02:29.start to make people worry a little start to make people worry a little
:02:30. > :02:32.so we have had to make some alterations to security procedures.
:02:33. > :02:36.We have increased our researchers and we have a nice presence of
:02:37. > :02:40.police, visible presence of police. It is not something that we need to
:02:41. > :02:45.be jumping all over, I think. I think we've got to be aware that
:02:46. > :02:49.there exists a threat all the time. It is a very recent threat but we
:02:50. > :02:51.just got to be bit to land. Just got to look after ourselves and it
:02:52. > :02:56.should not make us stay away from the sunshine.

:03:21. > :03:23.Officers have been speaking to members of the public
:03:24. > :03:25.at the Jamia Mosque in Normanton this afternoon.
:03:26. > :03:27.The aim of the event is for the force to better represent
:03:28. > :03:29.the communities it serves by encouraging people
:03:30. > :03:34.from more diverse backgrounds to join the police.
:03:35. > :03:38.The election campaign's reignited today with a claim by the Institute
:03:39. > :03:40.for Fiscal Studies that a new Conservative government
:03:41. > :03:44.would leave schools in England worse off than they are now.
:03:45. > :03:47.But the Tories say their pledge of extra funding will see a rise
:03:48. > :03:50.In fact, all the main parties are promising extra cash.
:03:51. > :03:53.Quentin Rayner's been looking at the issue of school funding
:03:54. > :04:01.The Government says education spending will reach a record ?42
:04:02. > :04:09.But schools now have to cover the cost of increases
:04:10. > :04:10.in national insurance and pension contributions.
:04:11. > :04:12.The National Audit Office has calculated a shortfall of
:04:13. > :04:23.A cut in real terms of 8% per pupil at a
:04:24. > :04:26.We do what we say and that's about ensuring
:04:27. > :04:27.that all schools can have
:04:28. > :04:29.the funding they need, instead of diverging
:04:30. > :04:33.grammar schools and vanity projects, which is what this Government wants
:04:34. > :04:43.And then you have to add into the mix the proposed National
:04:44. > :04:46.It's designed to ensure that every pupil from a
:04:47. > :04:48.similar background receives the same amount of money.
:04:49. > :04:51.Schools in Derby, for instance, are set to be big
:04:52. > :04:53.gainers, but when you combine the revised formula with those extra
:04:54. > :04:55.costs, by 2020 this school in West Bridgeford
:04:56. > :05:01.As it currently stands, if things proceed as planned, there is a real
:05:02. > :05:03.concern amongst the profession that some schools will go below
:05:04. > :05:09.And I greatly fear that the West Bridgeford
:05:10. > :05:12.The shortfall has been recognised by the
:05:13. > :05:16.Labour has pledged an extra ?6.3 billion for schools in
:05:17. > :05:17.England, as part of a ?25 billion injection

:05:24. > :05:30.billion for schools funded by a 1% rise in business taxes.

:05:33. > :05:35.extra ?4 billion, partly funded by scrapping free infant school
:05:36. > :05:46.What this significant investment of an extra ?4 billion means
:05:47. > :05:48.is that as we deliver the National Funding Formula,
:05:49. > :05:51.their budgets reduced as a result of that
:05:52. > :05:54.Our extra ?5.8 billion will triple the early
:05:55. > :05:55.years pupil premium to
:05:56. > :05:58.It will remove the 1% pay cap, keeping
:05:59. > :06:01.the best teachers in the business and extend all the free school meals
:06:02. > :06:04.I'm delighted to see that they're all
:06:05. > :06:07.proposing new money to go on the table for school budgets.
:06:08. > :06:10.As ever, the devil will be in the detail.
:06:11. > :06:12.But when it comes to school budgets, the Institute for
:06:13. > :06:15.Fiscal Studies is warning that what really matters is the effect of
:06:16. > :06:22.A Special Police Constable from Leicester's due in court today
:06:23. > :06:26.SPC Shahib Asan is accused of criminal damage, harassment,
:06:27. > :06:28.intent to pervert the course of justice and possession

:06:36. > :06:42.The 21-year-old's appearing at Leicester Crown Court.
:06:43. > :06:44.Now, lots of people love trains and railways -
:06:45. > :06:46.some have models or train sets in their houses.
:06:47. > :06:49.But there can't be many who take it one stage further -
:06:50. > :06:51.and build a railway in their back garden!
:06:52. > :06:53.But that's what Bruce Roberts has done in Nottingham.
:06:54. > :07:02.This is George with, behind him, Louise and Lizzie, the carriages.
:07:03. > :07:04.And they're all part of the Waverley Mount railway,
:07:05. > :07:08.named after this house, Waverley Mount, built in 1908.
:07:09. > :07:10.The railway is much younger than that.
:07:11. > :07:14.Bruce, why did you want to build a railway in your garden?
:07:15. > :07:20.And bring a bit of joy to people as well, but when I was very small
:07:21. > :07:23.I used to lie on the carpet watching the trains come past us
:07:24. > :07:26.as close as I could, and try to make them
:07:27. > :07:29.And the opportunity to build a railway in the garden,
:07:30. > :07:32.as big as possible, was something that I always wanted to do.
:07:33. > :07:36.And your wife and daughters have put up with it, but more than that,
:07:37. > :07:42.My wife loves anything mechanical, train-wise,
:07:43. > :07:47.and pumping station-wise, so they all love the trains.
:07:48. > :07:50.You got a steam loco and that's coming along.
:07:51. > :07:57.So, in the workshop at the moment, no boiler certificate because I been
:07:58. > :08:01.And we'll have a lot more on this tonight
:08:02. > :08:12.Now, it's time to take a look at today's weather forecast.
:08:13. > :08:15.Alex, what a beautiful start to the day - will it last?
:08:16. > :08:21.It is lasting for today. We got some beautiful pictures coming in
:08:22. > :08:26.practically wall to wall sunshine. Scorching temperatures in places,
:08:27. > :08:30.too. If we have a look at tomorrow, what a difference a day makes. A
:08:31. > :08:34.yellow weather warning out for rain over the weekend and the potential
:08:35. > :08:38.for some thundery showers. Watch out for spray and standing water on the
:08:39. > :08:41.roads. High-pressure moving out of the way as low pressure moving in.
:08:42. > :08:46.That is what is causing the thundery showers over the next few days. This
:08:47. > :08:50.afternoon, do take extra care because we are expecting higher
:08:51. > :08:57.some cream. Not a cloud in the sky, some cream. Not a cloud in the sky,
:08:58. > :09:01.just a bit of Fairweather cloud holding up by brilliant barbecue
:09:02. > :09:06.weather and highs of 25 degrees. As they go through the cause of tonight
:09:07. > :09:14.will continue to be quite muddy temperatures. Lows of 14. Tomorrow
:09:15. > :09:18.we got this thundery showers still feeling quite muddy tomorrow with
:09:19. > :09:19.highs of around 26 degrees. A warm weekend ahead.
:09:20. > :09:24.Geeta and Maurice will be back with East Midlands Today at 6:30pm.
:09:25. > :10:08.In Japan, art and life are intrinsically connected.
:10:09. > :10:11.Understanding the principles behind the art
:10:12. > :10:16.unlocks the mysteries of Japanese culture.
:10:17. > :10:20.Join James Fox as he gets beneath the skin of Japan's landscapes,
