Now with the news for the East Midlands, good | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
More than 2,000 people turned out to a jobs fair | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
at East Midlands Airport today, ahead of what's expected | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Representatives from 14 different companies were on-site earlier, | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
with the aim of recruiting hundreds of new staff. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
So is there any of those roles that you'd feel particularly | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
From airline staff to duty-free, around 350 positions were offered | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
today, both seasonal and permanent, bringing job-seekers | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
I decided to come and take a look and see what it was all about. | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
Working at the airport is something I've always wanted to do. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
At a young age I wanted to work as an air hostess. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
So I thought I'd come and check it out and see what it's like. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
I'm hoping to carry it on and see what's on offer. | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
I've worked here before, and yeah, it's just really good. | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
Around 7000 people already work at the airport in some capacity. | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
But expectations of a busy summer mean even more opportunities. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
We're offering passenger service agent roles, | :01:16. | :01:16. | |
But obviously on the air-side of things, we've got baggage-loader | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
We started at 10am, and I've already dealt with at least 20 people | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
We've got an exceptional sort of growth plan for the airport that | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
will really see us try and grow passenger numbers over | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
And in fact, over the next 10-15 to double them, | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
and triple the amount of cargo we handle, too. | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
So when you think about that, there's going to be a lot | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
of jobs over that period here at the airport. | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
With such a good turnout, the jobs on offer today | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
But more job fairs are planned as the airport continues to grow. | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Giles Taylor, BBC East Midlands Today. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
Tributes are being paid in the East Midlands | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
to the Derbyshire-born actor Sir John Hurt. | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
He has died from cancer at the age of 77. | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
Sir John was patron of the Quad Arts Centre in Derby. | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
The Chief Executive of Quad, Adam Smith, described him | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
3,000 tickets for a show to mark the Chinese New Year | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
at the University of Nottingham have sold out. | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
A local artist was asked to celebrate the Year of the Rooster. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Barret Hodgson plans to project a digital canvas | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
onto the University's historic Trent Building. | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
He says he was inspired by a recent trip to Shanghai. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
I was hoping to see more of the traditional China, | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
So, it was all about trying to find the balance of both of those things. | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
All the tickets have gone for all six shows. | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
However, we do hope that we're going to be able to capture | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
And with a bit of luck, we'll be able to get | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
Football now, and Nigel Clough will be allowed to speak | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
to Nottingham Forest about the vacant managerial job, | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
according to Andy Garner, his assistant manager at Burton | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
Forest made an approach to speak to Clough on Thursday. | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
Meanwhile, the new owner at Notts County has revealed | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
he wants to bring in around five new players before the January | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
Alan Hardy also says he's been shocked by the unpaid bills he's | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
found at the club since taking over two weeks ago. | :03:17. | :03:28. | |
Why have we still not paid Mike Edwards' testimonial money? | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
Forest paid it within 24 hours, I understand. | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
Outraged to understand that eight months on, he still hadn't | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
So, things do just roll on, for some reason. | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
On the pitch, Notts County picked up a first league win in 12 games | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
They won 2-1 to lift them out of the relegation places. | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
And there was also a win for Mansfield Town, | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
In rugby, Leicester Tigers picked up a morale-boosting win | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
against rivals Northampton Saints in the Anglo-Welsh Cup. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
It finished Leicester 27-20 Northampton. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Now for a look at the weather forecast, here's Alex. | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
Well, we've had a mixed bag so far this weekend. | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
A rather messy array of fronts coming in our direction. | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
So do get your wet weather gear handy. | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
Now, looking at the detail for tonight, some clearer spells | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
at times, but then some showers moving across the region as well. | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
So we are expecting some frost patches and some icy patches | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
on untreated surfaces in places as well. | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
Now, tomorrow morning we will have a few mist patches around. | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
Some more showers working their way across the region. | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Some brighter spells for a time in the afternoon before more rain | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
starts to work in towards tomorrow evening, with highs | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
Milder temperatures to come, but a little unsettled as well. | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
We're back at 6:20pm tomorrow evening. | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
Hello. If you don't like the cold weather, it certainly felt a lot | :04:58. | :05:22. | |
better for you today, at | :05:23. | :05:23. |
