Good evening. The Prime Minister visited ` job | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
centre in Colchester today to launch a back to work scheme. The | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
government wants the long tdrm unemployed to go to a job cdntre | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
every day, work for free or get some training. If not, they could lose | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
their benefit. Our political correspondent Andrew Sinclahr | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
reports. There are 2,500 people unemployed in Colchester, 1000 fewer | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
than last year, and every thme they find someone a job, they put sticky | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
note in the window. That is where the Prime Minhster | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
came to publicise his new tough love policy. | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
It does have a tough side to it because there should not be easy | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
options. The days of giving people benefits cheques and not asking for | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
anything in return, those d`ys are gone. | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
Under the new plans, those who try to look for work are expectdd to | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
come here for daily meetings, or improve their job skills by doing | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
community work or free work experience with local companies In | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
return, they will keep getthng their jobseeker's allowance. The other | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
main parties were also out campaigning today, questionhng how | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
effective this policy would be, but all support getting tough whth the | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
long`term unemployed. I would like the Prime Minister to | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
adopt Labour's plan of a colpulsory jobs guaranty of anyone unddr the | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
age of 25 who is unemployed for a year or more, which means that they | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
actually have a job to go to. Let's drill down on the rel`tively | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
small number of people who `re abusing the system. Let's not | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
confuse them with the many people who are looking for jobs. | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
Trade unions have attacked this scheme for stigmatising in the | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
unemployed. Some charities have said they won't take part in it. But the | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
Prime Minister believes that making the long`term unemployed trx harder | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
to find work will be popular with voters. | :01:56. | :02:04. | |
The long`awaited Elveden bypass on the A11 opened today, giving drivers | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
a taste of the future. At the moment, there's only one lane in | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
each direction and a speed limit of 40 miles an hour. But by thd autumn | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
way to Norwich. way to Norwich. | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
The Elveden bypass opened e`rly this morning. Drivers have waited years | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
for this to happen. For the first time, rush`hour traffic didn't have | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
to go through the bottleneck at Elveden village. | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
Parish council chairman Ian Robinson has lived next to the old A01 for 33 | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
years. He has put up with constant noise and pollution. Today, things | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
are very different. Peace and quiet at long last. The | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
road this morning was quite at about 3am. At 5am, I could hear the dawn | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
chorus for the first time in many, many years. | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
This part of the A11 has bedn notorious for hold`ups over the | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
years, but today, it has bedn quietened. The only traffic taking | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
local diversions off the bypass Most people will not have to drive | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
through the village of Elveden unless they want to. | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
Haulier companies like this one are delighted. They run 105 trucks and | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
most go south. If we have a vehicle that is doing | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
eight miles a gallon and it is stuck in traffic, it is very expensive to | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
run. It could reduce our costs, especially on fuel. | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
Today's opening is probably the biggest milestone of the whole A11 | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
dualling project so far. Thd full nine mile section from Thetford to | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Barton Mills is still on tr`ck for completion in September. | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
Chris Starkie is the Managing Director of the New Anglia Local | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
Enterprise Partnership. This evening I asked him just how much ilpact the | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
dualling would have on the local economy. | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
We are talking hundreds of lillions of pounds over the next few years. | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
It could come from extra business that the businesses within Norfolk | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
and Suffolk can do with othdr parts of the country, extra visitors who | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
come to see the area. The campaign that this went on for | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
years before it was agreed. What damage was done to the county due to | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
that delay? I think there is damage in terms of the perception of | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
Norfolk being remote and Suffolk being behind the times, not being | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
connected to the dual carri`ge network. There are jobs and | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
businesses who would have come to Norfolk if they could have got here | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
more quickly. How quickly will be impact be felt? | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
Businesses will not suddenlx move here. The key thing is for ts to let | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
the rest of the country and the rest of Europe know about this. H think | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
over the next few years, yot will be able to see economic development, | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
growth, housing, that would not have happened without the new ro`d. | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
What else does East Anglia need to improve its prospects? Priorities | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
include the railway line, the A 7 and broadband. All three ard needed | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
to help increase jobs and prosperity and make this part of the world a | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
great place to do business. The coroner has recorded a verdict | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
of suicide at the inquest into the death 16`year`old Becky Watkins from | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
Braintree. She was found de`d at the Evergreen children's home in Brandon | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
in 2009. Tonight, Essex County Council said it "deeply regrets its | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
failure to identify opportunities in the care of Rebecca which m`y have | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
made a difference in her life." The case of James Attfield, who was | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
murdered in Colchester, has been featured on BBC One's Crimewatch | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
programme tonight. It's a month since the father of five was found | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
in Castle Park with more th`n a hundred knife wounds. Policd want to | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
trace three people seen on CCTV in the early hours who they thhnk might | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
have vital information. Cambridge Airport has won a new | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
contract with the Irish company Cityjet to fly daily servicds to | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
Dublin and Amsterdam. It's hoping to build on the airport's international | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
status. A month ago, Etihad stopped their international flights from | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
Cambridge to destinations including Amsterdam. Planes on that route and | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
elsewhere often had empty sdats The rest of tonight should be dry, | :06:35. | :06:52. | |
quite misty with some fog. There should be very light winds, which | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
means tomorrow the fog might linger. Once it has gone, we should have dry | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
conditions. We are expecting summer showers, but not for everyone. Highs | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
around 15 degrees, cooler on the coast, especially when therd was the | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
fog. And into the evening, ` few showers, but largely dry. Soon, we | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
will have the National forecast but here is the outlook. On Wednesday, | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
it will be similar, with sole sharp showers, and on Thursday thdre will | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
be longer Thursday and then it will turn much | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
cooler as we go into the bank holiday weekend. | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
Hello, I am going to throw some numbers at you first of all. 22 | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
Celsius was the temperature recorded at Aviemore making it the warmest | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
day of the year so far. At the other end of the country, this cloud has | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
produced a lot of heavy and thundery downpours. A lot of rain falling in | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
one hour at Hurn airport. There are some showers around the Bristol | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
Channel. There will be so increasing amounts of mist, fog and low cloud. | :08:12. | :08:20. | |
Tomorrow starts grade, Misty and murky in most places. We will see | :08:21. | :08:29. | |
the Sun breaking through in Cumbria and the North. You might get the odd | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
shower in western Northern Ireland in the afternoon but with more | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
sunshine across the country tomorrow, it should | :08:40. | :08:40. |
