compared with 8.3% nationally. The Government is working to bring down | :00:01. | :00:06. | |
youth unemployment by funding a big increase in apprenticeships. In a | :00:06. | :00:08. | |
moment, Mike Liggins has been moment, Mike Liggins has been | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
speaking to young unemployed people in Lowestoft, but first this from | :00:10. | :00:20. | |
:00:20. | :00:21. | ||
our business correspondent, Richard The booming offshore wind is a huge | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
stimulus for the region's economy. Firms making work boats, for | :00:25. | :00:32. | |
example, taking workers to windfarms, are very busy. At its | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
yard in Great Yarmouth, this company sells to windfarms all over | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
the country. It has taken on for young apprentices this year, among | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
them this 19-year-old. Renewable energy, hopefully if that is the | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
way forward they will have orders coming in so there will be more | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
work and hopefully a job for longer. Last year 23,000 young people | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
started apprenticeships in the east, but this year it will be 38,000, a | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
60% increase. How do they work? The government pays for the training, | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
the employer just pays the wages, which can be as little as �2.60 an | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
hour. These engineering apprenticeships at college mostly | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
earn more than that and they are thankful to have jobs. I am getting | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
qualifications as well as earning money. Lurking -- working my way | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
into an industry. I'd just like doing things like this, doing | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
things with my hands. I couldn't sit in an office all day. I like | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
seeing what I'm making. Despite the expansion of apprenticeships, not | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
everyone can get one. At his college in Northamptonshire, | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
training places in construction are much sought-after. There are 50 | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
applications for every apprenticeship place that we are | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
currently helping to advertise with employers. And apprentices are not | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
immune from the problems of the wider economy. In the construction | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
industry, we are finding there are still companies going into | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
liquidation and as recently as last week, an employer we worked with | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
for many years did in fact go into liquidation and that meant 11 | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
apprentices lost their jobs. It is a very tough time to be starting a | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
working life. Apprenticeships are great, but they depend on real jobs | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
being created and sustained a in the private sector. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
Behind the unemployment statistics are the real-life stories of people | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
who can't find work. Mike Liggins went to Lowestoft in Suffolk to | :02:32. | :02:42. | |
:02:42. | :02:42. | ||
speak to some young people who are Can I interest you in a leaflet? | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
Philip is handing out leaflets for a charity shop. He is volunteering | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
to try to improve his chances of finding work. He was expelled from | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
school at 17 and hasn't had a job in the two years since. I have had | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
a couple of interviews, but they have turned me down because I had | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
no experience. How are my supposed to get experience if you don't give | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
it to me? Leaving the JobCentre in Lowestoft, Terry is looking after | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
her knees. She claims jobseeker's allowance, �106.90 every fortnight, | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
by she told me she does want the job because life without work isn't | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
exactly much fun. Seeing family, seeing friends, trying to find a | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
job. It is all I can do. Is it boring? Vary. I would rather be | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
working and earning money and doing something with my life. 19-year-old | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
Kelly is also a board. Her partner works, but she doesn't and she goes | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
to the shops just for something to do. She has a ten-month-old | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
daughter and when it comes to interviews, she says childcare is | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
an issue. I say I have a little girl and they must think, can she | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
come to work every day? She will have to rely on people to look | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
after her daughter and I think that puts them off a little bit. What do | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
you think a job would do for you? It would improve my life completely. | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
I would be working and getting paid, earning my own money. At the end of | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
the week I will have my own money. I can enjoy myself, by my own stuff. | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
Philip is on his way to sign on. He admits he has had a chequered past | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
but is hoping for a better future, with a job and some money. A future | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
without JobCentre plus. The economy is still the number one | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
issue in politics so what are our MPs saying about it and when do | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
they expect things to get better? Our political correspondent Andrew | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
Sinclair is here. How worried are the MPs? And they are all concerned. | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
One MP told me he was terrified and privately I think they will all | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
admit they think things are going to get worse before they get better. | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
But MPs in the government keep pointing out that compared to other | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
parts of the country, we are doing OK and they keep pointing out that | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
because we have these high-tech industries and green technologies, | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
we are in a good position to take advantage of the recovery. The | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
problem is there's not much of a recovery going on at the moment. | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
The Government's strategy is to use what little money it has for grants | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
to high-tech companies in the hope these will grow jobs. There's also | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
a lot of money going into creating apprenticeships. You have to put in | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
place things that will work at the root cause of the problem. I want | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
to see more apprenticeships, higher skills made available, and young | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
people taking those up so that they are ready to take on the jobs that | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
are out there. There are vacancies in the private sector, but we have | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
to help people to get into them. Labour say that is not good enough. | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
They want a Plan D, which does involve spending money. The Shadow | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, was in court today. We set out an | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
alternative five-point plan for jobs and growth and that includes | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
Labour's proposal to have a banker's bonus tax that could put | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
billions of pounds into youth jobs. That would create jobs for these | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
young people so we don't have a lost generation again. Are there | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
any signs the government is considering a plan B? There is a | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
bit of that week going on but they will never call it a Plan B. We | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
have recently seen a lot of talk about investing in infrastructure | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
projects. And then the next few weeks we will hear more about | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
infrastructure projects, but the government doesn't have much to | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
play with. This uncertain picture will continue for some time. Thank | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
you. Travellers have moved back on to | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
the illegal part of the Dale Farm site in Essex, claiming they have | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
nowhere else to go. They were evicted last month and bailiffs | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
have finished clearing the plots where they lived. But now families | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
have taken their caravans back. Let's go live to Dale Farm and Alex | :07:06. | :07:16. | |
:07:16. | :07:19. | ||
The council had to wait 10 years. They were victorious. The illegal | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
travellers were moved on. But tonight it seems that victory was | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
short-lived. Just as the clean-up operation | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
draws to a close, they have returned. Basildon council has | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
spent the last four weeks and millions of pounds a evicting | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
illegal travellers from the site at Dale Farm. It is easy to tell which | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
were the legal plots, they are marked by these craters. They were | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
aimed to prevent them from coming back. They have failed. On this | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
stretch of road alone, there are now 11 caravans. This access road | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
is owned by Patrick again. He has welcomed others back, inviting some | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
and to his front yard. The council were told to provide other places | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
to go and the council would not do it. Even a temporary place, the | :08:06. | :08:14. | |
council would not do it. Now they have got nowhere to go. Before the | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
28 day notices are Iraq, they will have to pull into car parks in the | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
area, or fields in this area. They are not leaving Basildon. So given | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
their return, was this the eviction or the money did cast to carry out | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
a wasted effort? There have been many threats made by the travellers | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
that they would move back, move into Tesco car parks and so forth., | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
and move into my garden, where a parody I live in a mansion! News to | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
my wife. Up until today those threats have not been carried out. | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
We can't condone any more breaches of the criminal law. Local | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
residents in the settled community despair. People like Christine who | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
has run this neighbouring garden centre for the last 25 years. | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
just think it is horrendous. The money that has been spent. It gives | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
the area a bad name. If tonight, from those travellers who have | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
returned, a threat. They are only the first, they promise more will | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
follow. Tonight they have been more | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
developments. Four of the caravans were part further up the road in an | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
area subject to that original injunction. It meant the owners | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
could have been arrested. The authorities could have moved | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
quickly. Where they are mean -- now means if the council wants to move | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
them on, they have to restart the entire legal process. It seems | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
these travellers are playing a canny game of cat and mouse and the | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
council are playing catch-up. Still to come tonight: | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
If you want to cut the fuel bills, get on your bike. | :09:50. | :10:00. | |
:10:00. | :10:00. | ||
And more on the metal thieves - the The police in Suffolk are cutting | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
300 jobs, including 100 police officers. They are trying to save | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
�13.5 million over the next four years. And the county council has | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
announced plans to save �50 million from its budget, including �15 | :10:12. | :10:22. | |
:10:22. | :10:24. | ||
A pledge from the Chief Constable. Community and neighbourhood | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
policing our say. But a 20% cut in government funding means jobs will | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
go. Among those at risk, traffic police, senior officers and | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
civilian staff. Today we were told �10 million in savings will be made | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
by sharing resources with neighbouring forces, notably | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
Norfolk. What we are looking to do is join up all have our support | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
functions so that we can drive out costs and that area as well as a | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
number of our operational functions, things like major crime, policing | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
the roads and our firearms teams, so we have a strong programme of | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
collaboration. Other savings will come from closing and relocating | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
stations like Ipswich and Woodbridge, and sharing premises | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
with local councils. Of course it's not just the police taking the | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
strain. A 28% cut in government funding means the county council | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
behind me are going to after make �50 million in savings over the | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
next two years. That is on top of a �43 million and cut their budget | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
this year. Some savings will be within the council itself. But | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
adults social care and children's services will be realigned, they | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
say, saving more than �18 million. It is a realignment so that early | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
intervention can provide a better service. Not a cut? Definitely not. | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
It is a change in the way you spend money and if you can save money but | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
provide a better service that improves people's quality of life, | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
it is a very good thing. Realignment means changes in the | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
way adults social care works, but there is this transition period in | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
which we don't know what is needed in the community. We don't know | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
what organisations like ourselves will need to do you. I'm very | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
concerned that people may drop through the cracks. Such cuts are | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
not confined to suffer, police forces and councils across the East | :12:13. | :12:23. | |
:12:23. | :12:29. | ||
have some very difficult decisions A school bus and a car have crashed | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
at 4:30pm this afternoon. A 25- year-old man was heard. Three of | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
the children were placed in neck collars and all are being treated | :12:39. | :12:49. | |
:12:49. | :12:49. | ||
at Colchester General Hospital. A decision on whether to base the | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
RAF's new Joint Strike Fighter at Marham in Norfolk will be made in | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
the spring of next year. The new date is far earlier than was | :12:56. | :13:04. | |
expected. This decision will be confirmed next spring. The day it | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
emerged after a meeting was held this afternoon. In that meeting was | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
the MP for South West Norfolk, alongside the minister for defence | :13:14. | :13:22. | |
equipment, support and technology. This decision will be key to the | :13:22. | :13:31. | |
future of Marham. This time last year, a successful campaign to save | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
it was lodged. When the tornado is eventually phased out, it is hoped | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
the base will be home to the Joint Strike Fighter instead. It is seen | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
as a direct replacement to the Tornado. That should be phased out | :13:45. | :13:55. | |
:13:55. | :13:56. | ||
by the year 2020. If it is based in Marham, it will secured the best's | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
long term future. The MP is trying to persuade ministers of the | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
importance of citing this new aircraft in Norfolk. | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
BBC East and Norwich City have settled a dispute over a transfer | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
story on the Late Kick Off football programme. The BBC has apologised, | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
saying it accepted that aspects of the story should have been handled | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
differently. A contract has been awarded to | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
remove asbestos from the former nuclear power station at Bradwell | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
in Essex. The work will start in the next few months. It's part of a | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
�300 million project to clean up the first generation of nuclear | :14:31. | :14:41. | |
power stations across the country which are being decommissioned. | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
Villagers have stepped in to save a country post office in Essex. The | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
customers have agreed to pay for the post office at Henham near | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
Bishop's Stortford rather than see it close. They'll pay monthly | :14:49. | :14:57. | |
direct debits towards the running costs. This woman has been post | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
mistress here for 13 years. The posters was closed three years ago | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
but reopened with the help of council funding. Now, the threat of | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
closure has resurfaced. This time, villagers have put their hands in | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
their pockets to save it. Families pay a subscription of a minimum of | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
�1 above. I think it is a brilliant idea. It is not always about money. | :15:19. | :15:28. | |
It is providing a service for people. We do a lot of custom for | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
eBay people. They come in with many parcels. The nearest other poster | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
this is a bus ride away, making life difficult for pensioners and | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
those without transport. But the service costs �12,000 a year. Today, | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
Royal Mail said it was to be used the local community had identified | :15:47. | :15:57. | |
:15:57. | :15:57. | ||
a local -- a solution. It shows a level of interest and concern in | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
the village to retain its posters. But it is not satisfactory, really, | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
that a local community should have to find all the money to pay for | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
the privilege of being linked to the national postal system. | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
Post Office is the Henham's second success story. The village store is | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
run entirely by a college -- volunteers. Now, the Post Office | :16:22. | :16:32. | |

last night on the growing menace of cable and metal theft. It all | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
started with the soaring cost of copper. It's costing us millions of | :16:44. | :16:48. | |

there is not just one: Along the side of the road. They seem to be | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
everywhere. More than a dozen of these drain covers have disappeared | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
into thin air or maybe been hustled into the back of a white van, who | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
knows? Quite the operation as the cones are very heavy. They have | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
been taken from the side, quite busy roads, causing worry to the | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
locals about danger and expense. is terrible. Look what it is | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
costing the ratepayers to replace these. The council tax goes up, | :17:48. | :17:55. | |

of a memorial was stolen. That is the kind of thing these thieves are | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
getting up to day-by-day. Thanks to all of you who got in | :19:22. | :19:27. | |

No-one needs reminding how expensive it is to fill up our cars | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
these days, and yesterday we covered the Commons debate led by | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
the Essex MP Robert Halfon which called on the Government to cut | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
fuel duty. But there is a cheaper, healthier alternative. It involves | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
two wheels, not four, and already, we are beating the national trend. | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
Across the country 3% of people cycle to work. Here, it's 5%. And | :20:00. | :20:10. | |
:20:10. | :20:12. | ||
in Cambridge, it's 23%. This special report from Richard Daniel. | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
Jane Thomson used to drive to work but now she has swapped four wheels | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
for two. A six-mile drive from her home in Colchester has become a | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
four mile bike ride on and off road. It is only a chore if it is raining. | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
I did have to bother going to the gym. As a busy mum of two, I don't | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
have the time. So I fit this into part of my working life. She saves | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
more than �3 a day in petrol and parking charges. At the running | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
cost of a car and the real figures are much higher. They call him the | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
cycling champion. In three years, Richard Monk has 3,000 people back | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
on bikes in Colchester. Lottery- funded, his charity organises a to | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
format provides every week, come rain or shine. I've really look | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
forward to coming for my rights. I would really miss it if I couldn't | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
make it. It is not just the health benefits. It is the feeling of | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
confidence people get. The feeling of meeting other people and | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
socialising and the opportunity to open up and stretch out. | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
Cambridge, they are light years ahead. Here, they even text on two | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
wheels. And in the city where even -- where one in four cycle, sales | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
of electric bikes are up. Initially, we were selling to the over-fifties | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
but we have noticed that the commuting market has expanded and | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
more and more people are looking for ways to get to work without | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
getting sweaty. People like Alex frost. Lots of people do the same | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
cycle on a normal bike but I have far too lazy for that so I got | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
myself an electric bike and it makes it easier to get on it in the | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
mornings. After half-an-hour in the saddle, Jane Thompson arrives at | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
work. For her and a growing band of commuters, there is no going back | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
to the car. It's two days to go until Children | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
In Need and all this week, we've been meeting some of the people who | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
were helped by the money you donated last year. Tonight, we have | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
Dan's story. He's a young man whose life has been turned around, thanks | :22:23. | :22:33. | |
:22:33. | :22:40. | ||
Parkour is trying to get around obstacles by the quickest means | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
possible, usually by jumping, climbing or running. It taught me | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
there was more to life than crime. Most people who do crime do it to | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
get a kick out of it, the adrenalin rush. But I gets more of a rush out | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
of parkour because you're constantly testing yourself. Dan's | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
story is typical of many teenagers to get in with the wrong crowd. | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
was in all sorts of trouble, basically. Shoplifting, fighting, | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
general theft. Things reached ahead when he found himself living on the | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
streets. I was 16, I was homeless for three months. Wood has held me | :23:22. | :23:31. | |
develop, it has given me a lot of cobblers. -- parkour. I am in a | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
good place now because I have met a lot of friends beach -- through | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
parkour. I got my job through parkour and this is the first job I | :23:41. | :23:50. | |
have had in over two years. 70,000 -- the �75,000 grant will | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
help people like Dan stay on the straight and narrow. I need a lot | :23:56. | :24:05. | |
of self-control. It has given me a lot of integrity, a lot of respect. | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
Before, I thought that everyone owed me a favour but now I think | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
that I owe everyone a favour. liked to keep fit. You should have | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
a go! I don't think I would be very a go! I don't think I would be very | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
good and bad. Let's get the weather. It has been a chilly start to the | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
dead. What we have got going on at the moment is an area of high | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
pressure centred over Poland that is essentially blocking these | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
Atlantic weather systems that are trying to bring in their wet | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
weather. They are bring in some in to the South West. But it is a | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
little bit cloudier for us tonight. There are clear spells to start | :24:50. | :24:59. | |
with but we will get the odd mist or fog patch. There might be the | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
odd spot or two of light rain or drizzle but for most of us, dry and | :25:04. | :25:12. | |
not as cold. Tempters between four and seven Celsius. -- temperatures. | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
The winds tone more southerly. Around the Norfolk and Suffolk | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
coastline, a moderate breeze. Into tomorrow morning, a gloomy start, | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
some mist to clear up. The cloud could linger for parts of Norfolk, | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
Suffolk and Essex, particularly along the coastal areas. The West | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
will get most of the sunshine. By 2pm, the doubt -- the cloud would | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
have thinned. Temperatures up a little bit tomorrow. The south- | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
westerly wind is working in some milder air. We are expecting a high | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
of 13 Celsius. It stays dry. A bit more sunshine for the east towards | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
the end of the day. Generally, a clear start to denied. For the next | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
few days, it is all about these areas of high pressure that will | :26:06. | :26:15. |
