:00:10. > :00:11.the Conservatives say it's all made up.

:00:38. > :00:49.chick which has been raised to protect local businesses.
:00:50. > :00:55.First tonight - cash-strapped schools in our region could be
:00:56. > :00:58.in line for major investment if Labour or the Liberal Democrats win
:00:59. > :01:02.Under the current funding formula, many schools in Cambridge,
:01:03. > :01:04.for example, get less per pupil than more rural areas.
:01:05. > :01:06.And despite planned changes to that formula,
:01:07. > :01:12.Today, Labour said it would spend twenty billion pounds
:01:13. > :01:14.more on education over the next five years.
:01:15. > :01:21.The Lib Dems say they'd spend seven billion.
:01:22. > :01:22.The Conservatives called them made-up promises.
:01:23. > :01:34.It's too kilos for this school in Cherry Hinton to raise enough money
:01:35. > :01:38.to fund all these computers. Like every Cambridge School, it is
:01:39. > :01:42.historically underfunded, so every financial decision is tossed. At the
:01:43. > :01:47.moment, it is harder than it has ever been. We are genuinely facing
:01:48. > :01:51.some really difficult decisions about the sourcing and provision for
:01:52. > :01:56.our children next year. By that, I'm talking about human resource in,
:01:57. > :02:00.people's jobs and that becomes a very difficult decision for the
:02:01. > :02:05.school. Earlier this year, the governor and put it fairer funding
:02:06. > :02:09.formula for schools out to consultation but it's there to say
:02:10. > :02:12.that many headteachers were left disappointed. -- Government. One of
:02:13. > :02:16.the things they headteachers are telling us is there is still not
:02:17. > :02:23.enough money in the education port. The question for to come is who has
:02:24. > :02:29.the best plan to fill it up? Today, Julian Huppert, the Liberal Democrat
:02:30. > :02:34.candidate for Cambridge was here to deliver a serious message. His
:02:35. > :02:39.pledge for education over the next five years for his party. Promising
:02:40. > :02:44.to protect funding in real terms. The total cost is ?7 billion over
:02:45. > :02:48.the parliament. We can get that, partly by scrapping Tory vanity
:02:49. > :02:53.projects. There is huge money being put to new free schools, which
:02:54. > :03:00.stomach schools which are undersubscribed and don't have
:03:01. > :03:06.enough people coming in. Labour has pledged 20 million dollars billion
:03:07. > :03:09.to extend to free school meals and education grants, as well as
:03:10. > :03:12.protecting pupil funding. They will also raise corporation tax to fund
:03:13. > :03:18.part of it. The important thing about this is, what employers tell
:03:19. > :03:21.me they need is a skilled workers. It is our education system that will
:03:22. > :03:25.provide those skilled in the future. This is a really good investment.
:03:26. > :03:28.The country has become too divided. The super-rich are taking too much
:03:29. > :03:34.money out of the country at the moment. The Conservatives are yet to
:03:35. > :03:37.reveal their education pledges. What I'm hoping we'll be in there will be
:03:38. > :03:39.some reconsideration of the Farrah funding formula. Certainly the
:03:40. > :03:45.funding formula does not work as it stands. I'm positive the Education
:03:46. > :03:49.Secretary is looking at that, so hopefully we will see balancing
:03:50. > :03:53.around the country. Cash-strapped schools will no doubt be
:03:54. > :03:57.scrutinising party manifestos out next week.
:03:58. > :04:00.Let's stay with the election for a moment - because the UK
:04:01. > :04:03.Independence Party says it will not field a candidate against
:04:04. > :04:08.Instead it's asking its supporters in Luton North to vote
:04:09. > :04:10.for Mr Hopkins because he is a supporter of Brexit.
:04:11. > :04:12.Let's talk to our political correspondent Andrew Sinclair.
:04:13. > :04:23.Welcoming you to have done this in a couple of places, including
:04:24. > :04:26.Kettering where there are telling supporters to vote for the
:04:27. > :04:29.Conservative, Philip Alderton, and Peterborough where they are telling
:04:30. > :04:34.people to back Stuart Jackson. We think this is the first time that
:04:35. > :04:43.you get however told their supporters to vote Labour. --
:04:44. > :04:46.Hollobone. The Labour leader does have a massive majority, so it is
:04:47. > :04:51.questionable whether he would lose his seat, but he may find it
:04:52. > :04:55.interesting to note that you give public stand against them this time.
:04:56. > :05:00.This is part of a wider policy by Ukip. Its leader, Paul Nuttall, here
:05:01. > :05:05.campaigning in Essex, wants to make sure Brexit does happen. In seats
:05:06. > :05:10.where the Brexit vote could split and a non-Brexit supporting MPs get
:05:11. > :05:11.in, News including members to stand aside and support the true Brexit
:05:12. > :05:16.candidate. What we want to see
:05:17. > :05:18.is people in the House of Commons who support Brexit,
:05:19. > :05:21.not fly by night Brexiteers, not midnight Brexiteers,
:05:22. > :05:23.people who have switched sides. Vote for the true Brexiteers,
:05:24. > :05:33.people who have supported So, how are these nonaggression pact
:05:34. > :05:36.going down? Well, neither Labour or the Conservatives will comment.
:05:37. > :05:40.Labour only said that Kelvin Hopkins has a very long record of serving
:05:41. > :05:43.Luton and he is happy to defend it against whoever chooses to stand
:05:44. > :05:47.against him. They are in mind telling you get does not have the
:05:48. > :05:51.organisationally money it had in 2015, so this idea of not standing
:05:52. > :05:56.against Brexit supporting candidates probably does help it alt but doing
:05:57. > :06:01.this also raises questions about how much you get cares about its other
:06:02. > :06:06.policies. It has some pretty distinctive policies, like cutting
:06:07. > :06:12.foreign aid, banning the Roberto, it has quite interesting policies on
:06:13. > :06:15.FGM. If it is not standing in places like Peterborough, Kettering or
:06:16. > :06:20.Ludendorff, no one will advance those policies and the public won't
:06:21. > :06:21.have a chance to have a say on them. -- Luton North.

:10:41. > :10:47.went up at quite an angle, didn't it? Though, it was really good. It
:10:48. > :10:51.was amazing. Never seen before, we come from Northampton. It's
:10:52. > :10:55.fantastic. It's huge. People has been waiting a long time, as you
:10:56. > :11:00.heard there. People had been waiting since August, since Airlander had
:11:01. > :11:04.that very heavy nosedive landing. Since then, she's been repaired and

:11:33. > :11:36.cargo and also for possibly delivering aid in remote parts of

:20:42. > :20:45.this stage has been a long, slow process. That is until recently, as
:20:46. > :20:50.no one even knew what was in the collection. Lewis Daynes part of my
:20:51. > :20:55.job to the past 18 months has been going through every photo, I can,
:20:56. > :21:00.photographing it and cataloguing it. That was the voyage of discovery.
:21:01. > :21:05.Uncovering these treasures. No chronological order, every day was
:21:06. > :21:08.another surprise. When you started doing the cataloguing, could you
:21:09. > :21:12.believe the kind of thing you had in the collection? Honestly, no. There
:21:13. > :21:17.is a challenge here. We need to get it to the public, we want the public
:21:18. > :21:21.to join us on the journey. Jenny begins now, the museum is looking
:21:22. > :21:23.for businesses and volunteers to help transform the space to welcome
:21:24. > :21:28.its first visitors any autumn. Next to the tricky question of how
:21:29. > :21:31.to deal with gulls and pigeons which can be a nuisance in some town
:21:32. > :21:34.and city centres. They are protected by law -
:21:35. > :21:40.which is why some areas rely on trained falcons or hawks
:21:41. > :21:43.to scare the birds away. But demand is so great,
:21:44. > :21:45.these birds of prey are now being bred specifically
:21:46. > :21:47.for the task, as After 30 days of incubation,
:21:48. > :22:01.integration, a crack appears. Finally, pushing through the shell
:22:02. > :22:04.at three minutes to three this It's incredible to think this tiny
:22:05. > :22:19.falcon born just minutes ago That's when they start to pierce
:22:20. > :22:23.through the shell of the end of one until today that
:22:24. > :22:27.it actually hatched. Bred through artificial insemination
:22:28. > :22:30.at this company in soliciting, this chick is one of five
:22:31. > :22:34.in the clutch of eggs which belong As far as a young bird
:22:35. > :22:38.of prey is concerned, So the bird is going to think,
:22:39. > :22:48.is he going to eat me So, I just spent a period
:22:49. > :22:55.of time manning, getting Also, this big,
:22:56. > :23:00.scary thing, a human, You have to form
:23:01. > :23:11.a bond with the bird. The bird is realising
:23:12. > :23:14.you're not a threat to it. So, the bird flies, the gulls
:23:15. > :23:20.or pigeons are frightened. They have done the scaring, the lure
:23:21. > :23:31.comes out and they fly back to us. And companies hold a special licence
:23:32. > :23:38.for this method of pest control. The aim is to do
:23:39. > :23:42.so rather than harm. But it is not just businesses
:23:43. > :23:49.like as food processing factory in King's Lynn where birds
:23:50. > :23:51.are being used. More famously at Wimbledon,
:23:52. > :23:53.ruthless people from Brixton in Northamptonshire has been
:23:54. > :23:54.patrolling the skies But for these checks,
:23:55. > :23:58.they will have to wait another nine The sun made a welcome appearance
:23:59. > :24:03.today, welcome for most of us, although many will be wishing
:24:04. > :24:05.for rain, as fears So to see if it's here to stay,
:24:06. > :24:12.here's Alex with our weather. Hello. It was a chilly start to the
:24:13. > :24:15.day but we have seen some sunshine across the region to day. This was
:24:16. > :24:18.the scene this morning in Northamptonshire. Another lovely
:24:19. > :24:23.photograph taken in Southwark this afternoon. So, we will start to see
:24:24. > :24:27.some changes over the next 48 hours. Some heated air moving up from the
:24:28. > :24:31.south, also bringing some rain by Friday morning. For now, it'll be
:24:32. > :24:36.quite a chilly night under those clear skies for most of the night.
:24:37. > :24:41.-- much of the night. Could be called an offer a touch of ground
:24:42. > :24:45.frost in places. Potential for 2-3dC in rural sports by the. That is
:24:46. > :24:50.likely to be the last frosty night now as they move ahead to something
:24:51. > :24:54.slightly warmer and more humid. This is the weather system responsible.
:24:55. > :24:58.It will bring some rain, but not until overnight Thursday into Friday
:24:59. > :25:02.for us in the east. We kick off with sunshine again and a chilly start to
:25:03. > :25:06.the day tomorrow. Good silver sunshine through the morning. Not to
:25:07. > :25:10.get into the afternoon, it will tend to just cloud over from the south.
:25:11. > :25:16.Those Southern counties turning a bit cloudier through the day.
:25:17. > :25:19.Temperatures climbing quite reasonable to 20 Celsius. That will
:25:20. > :25:23.crash as the weather system comes up from the cell. The odd spit and spot
:25:24. > :25:26.of rain but ordering rainfall not equated to arrive until overnight
:25:27. > :25:30.Thursday. That will be around on Friday. Some of this possibly could
:25:31. > :25:37.be a little bit heavy and sundry in places. This'll weather system moves
:25:38. > :25:40.to the north and then slightly cooler at the weekend, fresher
:25:41. > :25:45.regime with a wind shift to the west. Before then, feeling quite
:25:46. > :25:49.humid, Monty for both Thursday and particularly into Friday. That rain
:25:50. > :25:53.clearing through the morning to brighter skies and some sunshine.
:25:54. > :25:56.It'll feel a bit fresher the weekend, likely to see dry weather
:25:57. > :26:01.and some sunshine around, but also some shallows. There could be all
:26:02. > :26:08.heavy one. Some chilly temperatures as well, but not getting as well as
:26:09. > :26:12.you would expect. A reminder of our top story, labour and the Lib Dems

:26:15. > :26:20.election next month. The Conservatives say they are made up
