:01:12. > :01:15.Good evening. Tonight, the prospect of thousands of new jobs and A
:01:15. > :01:19.Prost -- partnership between private and public money. They
:01:19. > :01:25.would be created in the shadow of Coventry airport. Local authorities
:01:25. > :01:29.have joined with businesses to back the plan. They believe it could
:01:29. > :01:36.create up to 14,000 jobs next year by cutting through red chip and
:01:36. > :01:40.planning regulations. -- red tape.
:01:40. > :01:45.Denys Short likes to get things done. He set up a beauty product

:01:50. > :01:54.now �1 hand and 30 million. His business may be thriving but he
:01:54. > :01:58.fears for the rest of the country. What does it take for real --
:01:58. > :02:03.people to realise there are no jobs our business is? What needs to
:02:03. > :02:11.happen for people to say, we needed to turn this round and focus on
:02:11. > :02:17.growth and jobs. He is behind a plan for an enterprise zone on land
:02:17. > :02:21.behind Coventry airport. They have just submitted a bid. We start out
:02:21. > :02:27.with jaguar Land Rover and move down here, a defunct sewage
:02:27. > :02:33.treatment works. It is fundamental to Coventry. It shows we are open
:02:33. > :02:39.for business and we are prepared as eight region to move forward. It is
:02:39. > :02:49.important for the region. Enterprise zones lure businesses
:02:49. > :02:50.
:02:50. > :02:54.with incentives, relaxed planning laws and he --. The Isle of Dogs
:02:54. > :03:00.started out like this. If the enterprise zone over here is going
:03:00. > :03:04.to be a success, they have to look at this. This is the worst traffic
:03:04. > :03:09.bottleneck in the area. It is likely to be a problem for five or
:03:09. > :03:16.six years. If the enterprise idea comes forward it could be resolved
:03:16. > :03:26.into a three years. It is important it is usable. Critics argue that
:03:26. > :03:29.
:03:29. > :03:34.enterprise zones and this place jobs. Ashby's place. Every job
:03:34. > :03:38.should create another job outside the enterprise his own. There would
:03:38. > :03:43.be a need for it with their losses in the car industry. A would be
:03:43. > :03:49.brilliant. I think the rope round there is not designed for that
:03:49. > :03:56.amount of people. It is bad enough now. The government will announce
:03:56. > :04:00.if the bid was successful in two or three weeks. It was something of
:04:00. > :04:03.pride and if we when it will be a great honour.
:04:03. > :04:07.A ground-breaking deal has been signed between the University of
:04:07. > :04:12.Birmingham and China. It was a multi-million pound research centre
:04:12. > :04:16.set up in the city of Guangzhou. Chinese officials will arrive at
:04:16. > :04:21.looking for business partners and clearly there is money to be made.
:04:21. > :04:25.China is a world's second largest economy and it is predicted it also
:04:25. > :04:35.pass the USA by 2020. What can a Chinese opera businesses from the
:04:35. > :04:38.West Midlands? -- what can be Chinese offer?
:04:39. > :04:45.All smiles as they signed a memorandum of co-operation, they
:04:45. > :04:50.are in business. It is a unique collaboration between a British
:04:50. > :04:53.university and China. There are a number of advantages. We will be
:04:53. > :04:58.working in one of the fastest- growing economies in the world. One
:04:59. > :05:02.of the evidence is the best research is done internationally.
:05:02. > :05:06.Brains from Birmingham will collaborate with researchers in
:05:06. > :05:11.Guangzhou on projects relate -- ranging from health to
:05:11. > :05:18.manufacturing. Already the University spearheaded the largest
:05:18. > :05:25.health trial in China. We estimated 1.9 million deaths in China are
:05:25. > :05:32.caused as a response that -- to passive smoking. It kicked off last
:05:32. > :05:38.weekend when the Chinese premier visited MG Rover. He went on to
:05:38. > :05:43.sign deals in the UK were billions. Clearly officials in Guangzhou are
:05:43. > :05:49.hoping for the same. Around 100 are in Birmingham and armed with a
:05:49. > :05:54.glossy video, they are trying to promote business. If a business
:05:54. > :05:58.wants to invest in your city, how confident can they be that there
:05:58. > :06:02.will not be political interference? TRANSLATION: To further co-
:06:02. > :06:06.operation, we will issue a series of policies regarding companies
:06:06. > :06:11.from the UK and Birmingham. We will give them support and help.
:06:11. > :06:14.If what we are encountering is a seriousness of commitment and
:06:14. > :06:20.openness to working together and a desire on both sides to get his
:06:20. > :06:23.right. The Birmingham-Guangzhou research centre will open in the
:06:23. > :06:31.Teva. I am joined by Professor David
:06:31. > :06:37.Bailey. Our China connections keep growing. Why is it good for
:06:37. > :06:41.business here? All universities in the West Midlands are active in
:06:41. > :06:46.emerging economies. That is partly about students, partly about joint
:06:46. > :06:52.research. At Coventry it is everything from automotive design
:06:52. > :06:56.and three to low carbon economies. It is more about economic
:06:56. > :07:06.development. Whether it is an enterprise zone in the West
:07:06. > :07:08.Midlands or at supporting administrations in China. China is
:07:08. > :07:13.the fastest-growing economy in the world. What is the attraction for
:07:13. > :07:18.them to do this this year? We know it is good for us, but what for
:07:18. > :07:27.them? We can offer skills, Brahms, technologies and lease on a visit
:07:27. > :07:30.by the Chinese premier last week. - - Bryant's. We can't do the
:07:30. > :07:36.development in the UK and the money factor in China and both benefit.
:07:36. > :07:41.It is about finding ways to increase trade. Will we get on with
:07:41. > :07:45.business here but find it difficult in China? We will have to make it
:07:45. > :07:50.work as we do with other markets. There is a big role for
:07:50. > :07:57.universities in understanding cross cultural differences. Let's take
:07:57. > :08:01.you to the top story, the enterprises and in Coventry. For
:08:01. > :08:08.there will be all sorts of tax benefits. Is that no way to get
:08:08. > :08:12.this country back on its big economically? There will only be 20
:08:12. > :08:20.when enterprise zones, not everyone had them. In the 1980s they were
:08:20. > :08:25.short lived. Be on the Enterprise Zone, how do things develop? It
:08:25. > :08:28.will help businesses grow. It builds on the success of a science
:08:28. > :08:34.park and it will offer an attractive place for inward
:08:34. > :08:40.investors. It is supported by councils and universities. When a
:08:40. > :08:44.tax rates and run at Ayr is a chance of it working.
:08:44. > :08:51.-- and run out, there is a chance of it working.
:08:51. > :08:54.Don't mention a tennis! Still ahead tonight... The Saxon relics going
:08:55. > :09:00.on show for the first time with treasures from the stuff which
:09:00. > :09:03.record. -- Staffordshire abhorred.
:09:03. > :09:11.Around 100 jobs could go at a Premier Prison when a private firm
:09:11. > :09:16.takes over running the prison. -- Birmingham prison. Their company
:09:16. > :09:20.due to take over the prison in October has confirmed 123 posts are
:09:20. > :09:25.at risk in management and administration.
:09:25. > :09:30.An investigation into the work of a Staffordshire surgeon has concluded
:09:30. > :09:37.one patient was not treated correctly. Dr Changez Jadun's
:09:37. > :09:41.activities have sparked for separate inquiries. He no longer
:09:41. > :09:51.performs some procedures on the brain. The trust also admitted his
:09:51. > :09:53.
:09:53. > :09:58.whistle-blowing policy did not work. Under changes announced, a fit of
:09:58. > :10:03.workers in a council was the big drop in pay. 50% will get a heck --
:10:03. > :10:12.pay rise and some of the noted at all. All staff have to agree by the
:10:12. > :10:22.end of October RTE's redundancy. -- or face redundancy. Please explain
:10:22. > :10:22.
:10:22. > :10:28.why you are doing us? We have to do it. The equal Pay Act came into
:10:28. > :10:36.force in 1970, followed by the single status legislation in 1997.
:10:36. > :10:41.We are obliged to take this process forward. Inevitably, Unison is
:10:41. > :10:45.latching on to the fact that staff will have a pair reduction. What do
:10:45. > :10:48.you say to that? There will be winners and losers. We cannot avoid
:10:48. > :10:54.that. We do not want there to be losers but we have to follow the
:10:54. > :10:59.government guidelines in the introduction of this grading system.
:10:59. > :11:04.That is what has shaken out. We have followed procedure and this is
:11:04. > :11:09.how it has worked out. The union is saying, there is no doubt Walsall
:11:10. > :11:15.will seek strike action similar to Birmingham earlier this year. Does
:11:15. > :11:19.that worry you? I would be disappointed to hear that. We have
:11:19. > :11:23.had good negotiations with the unions. We have worked well with
:11:23. > :11:28.them to resolve these matters amicably. I would be disappointed
:11:28. > :11:34.if we got there that situation. official statement says they are
:11:34. > :11:38.disappointed at the way this has turned out. So be it, we have
:11:38. > :11:42.followed procedure. We have carried out the evaluation in a correct
:11:42. > :11:49.manner in consultation with unions. Might I said, there will be winners
:11:49. > :11:59.and losers. Bearing in mind, 81% of people will either stay the same or
:11:59. > :12:03.
:12:03. > :12:06.be a winner, 19% will have a change. A lorry driver has been jailed for
:12:06. > :12:09.12 months for causing the death of a her for a couple who were crushed
:12:09. > :12:13.when it's begun shed its load of timber. Tom Matts and Terri-Ann

:12:22. > :12:25.MPs want the Government to postpone closing the National forensic
:12:25. > :12:29.science service based in Birmingham. Ministers announced the closure in
:12:29. > :12:35.December, saying the service was losing �2 million a month. It is
:12:35. > :12:39.due to be wound down by March but the Commons Science and Technology
:12:39. > :12:43.Committee said meeting the work elsewhere could create unacceptable
:12:43. > :12:48.risks to justice. An empty building designed for use as a regional fire
:12:48. > :12:53.control centre is costing the taxpayer �1.4 million in and will
:12:53. > :12:57.went. Wolverhampton control centre was commissioned by the Labour
:12:57. > :13:00.government to bring emergency call services under one roof. The
:13:00. > :13:06.National Audit Office says it was flawed because it did not have the
:13:06. > :13:12.support of Fire and rescue services. Local produce, visitors from around
:13:12. > :13:18.the world and individual food protesters, the recipe for economic
:13:18. > :13:26.success. While there have been hard times for some, on the whole they
:13:26. > :13:33.have held their own. Ludlow has developed an
:13:33. > :13:36.international reputation for fine food. The annual Frugi festival in
:13:36. > :13:45.a September attracted 22,000 visitors, double the local
:13:45. > :13:50.population, and generates millions of pounds for the local economy.
:13:50. > :13:57.This chef gained 8 Michelin-starred two years ago. Turnover increased
:13:57. > :14:02.30% in the last financial year. Some Australian tourist recently

:14:12. > :14:19.independent farmers and shops, and in turn the locals support me.
:14:19. > :14:22.There is a market for days a week. The shops are owned by independent
:14:22. > :14:27.people, we do not have changed here. People are passionate about what
:14:27. > :14:30.they are selling, they know about the producer. The pictures and
:14:30. > :14:34.because know the origins of everything they are using and that
:14:34. > :14:40.is really special. Visits here has remained stable. Mike of the shop
:14:40. > :14:45.owners, they were affected more by this know than by the economic
:14:45. > :14:49.climate. We get a lot more visitors from the West Midlands area. They
:14:50. > :14:54.seem to travel to Ludlow regularly. They used to come every week but
:14:54. > :14:58.now they perhaps come once a month. Perhaps that is due to fuel prices
:14:58. > :15:06.as well as the economy. This picture it says people are more
:15:06. > :15:14.cautious. In the last few years it has grown 10 to 20% each year. This
:15:14. > :15:19.year, it has been stable or is even dance some percentage. It is
:15:19. > :15:23.worrying but compared to some places, probably very good. A mix
:15:23. > :15:30.of local people, we get home owners and tourist shop here. Their

:16:03. > :16:07.those in the food industry here That has made me hungry. Lunch was
:16:07. > :16:11.a long time ago. Still to come:
:16:11. > :16:15.How the gorgeous spring weather - remember that - has produced a
:16:15. > :16:18.bumper and early crop of a fruit that we love to drink.
:16:18. > :16:23.And there could be good fruit growing weather this weekend -
:16:23. > :16:32.mostly dry with some sunshine and a bit warmer. The full forecast in a
:16:32. > :16:36.few minutes. I think we are going to like the
:16:37. > :16:40.forecast. Rare Anglo Saxon documents rarely
:16:40. > :16:44.shown to the public are going on display for the first time. Over
:16:44. > :16:48.1000 years old, they give an insight into the dark Ages, a
:16:48. > :16:51.period we know little about. The exhibition has been put on to
:16:51. > :16:56.coincide with the first tour of Staffordshire of the famous
:16:56. > :16:59.Staffordshire hoard. Lindsay Doyle reports.
:16:59. > :17:05.This is one of our archive strong rooms which we do not normally
:17:05. > :17:09.allow access to, so you are privileged. Stafford is truly going
:17:09. > :17:13.Saxon. Rare Anglo Saxon documents are going on display at the records
:17:13. > :17:17.office to coincide with the first visit to the town of the
:17:17. > :17:21.Staffordshire hoard. We are very lucky that they have survived from
:17:21. > :17:26.that period will stop the connection with the Staffordshire
:17:26. > :17:31.hoard adds even more to what they tell us about the history of the
:17:31. > :17:36.county. The documents are over 1000 years old and they rarely leave the
:17:36. > :17:42.archives. The most valuable is the last will and testament of a mercy
:17:42. > :17:45.and nobleman, who leaves his wealth to the abbey. It is not just the
:17:45. > :17:48.will, but there are several documents relating to the
:17:49. > :17:58.conveyance of land. They are not normally stored like this. They are

:18:15. > :18:21.into a small package of perhaps three inches square. And this would
:18:22. > :18:27.have been kept in someone's pocket, in a pouch or his saddlebag. Just
:18:27. > :18:31.over the road, the famous hall of Anglo Saxon gold from the ancient
:18:31. > :18:37.kingdom of mercy or is being carefully unpacked. It was found in
:18:37. > :18:41.a field two years ago by a metal detector enthusiast. It is
:18:41. > :18:46.absolutely fantastic to be able to put the items on display. Some of
:18:46. > :18:52.them have never been on display before. And on show for the very
:18:52. > :18:57.first time, the actual metal detector used by the manner
:18:57. > :19:02.discovered the hoard. The first stop for the artifacts, it will
:19:02. > :19:07.then travel to Lichfield and Tamworth.
:19:07. > :19:14.If that has whetted your appetite, there is a programme on Sunday
:19:14. > :19:19.presented by Dan Snow on BBC One at 6pm.
:19:19. > :19:23.Dan is here with the sports news. I understand there has been around in
:19:23. > :19:27.women's football on Twitter. Yes, communication is not always a good
:19:27. > :19:32.thing. England's women have got their World Cup campaign back on
:19:32. > :19:35.track with victory over New Zealand. For Enny Aluko, it is the perfect
:19:35. > :19:39.response to comments that she received after the first match,
:19:39. > :19:44.comments she described as poisonous. Aluko missed several second half
:19:44. > :19:51.chances. England drew their first game 1-1 with Mexico. She said that
:19:51. > :19:56.comments directed at her on Twitter did nothing to help her or the team.
:19:56. > :20:01.It does affect me. It is quite poisonous. When I am in a World Cup,
:20:01. > :20:05.you need to keep positive going into the next game. I do not need
:20:05. > :20:13.these things directed at me. There is a time when I might say
:20:13. > :20:17.something back. Carson has left to join a Turkish
:20:17. > :20:22.side. As a Roger Vingham have not revealed how much the former
:20:22. > :20:25.captain has been sold for. -- West Bromwich Albion.
:20:25. > :20:31.It was not just Andy Murray who had a big day today. While he was
:20:31. > :20:36.losing on Centre Court, Jordanne made her Wimbledon debut in the
:20:36. > :20:40.wheelchair doubles. But she also lost in the semi-finals.
:20:40. > :20:45.It is the most famous tennis club in the world and is home to the
:20:45. > :20:50.most famous tournament. Today, Jordanne was part of it. For the
:20:50. > :20:54.first time, she graced the grass of Wimbledon. Then 19-year-old from
:20:54. > :20:58.Halesowen played in the semi-final of the ladies will chair doubles,
:20:58. > :21:03.an invaluable experience. It was a good experience and I really
:21:03. > :21:06.enjoyed it. It is lovely to play with Lucy. We worked hard to get
:21:06. > :21:12.the ranking that we have, and we worked hard together to be in
:21:12. > :21:15.places like this, playing in these tournaments, so I was proud.
:21:15. > :21:19.despite the lure of Andy Murray on Centre Court, there were plenty of
:21:19. > :21:23.fans cheering them on. It means a lot that people are taking the time
:21:23. > :21:27.to look at wheelchair tennis, taking the time to support us. We
:21:27. > :21:33.appreciate that. Sadly, her debut was a losing one, losing in
:21:33. > :21:37.straight sets. But she will hope to be back twice next year. Once in
:21:37. > :21:42.the Wimbledon championships, and again at the London 2012
:21:42. > :21:45.Paralympics. Finally, if Alex McLeish needs help
:21:45. > :21:50.winning over the fans at Aston Villa, he could do worse than to
:21:50. > :21:53.call on this man. Yes, that really is Prime Minister David Cameron
:21:53. > :21:59.going for his morning jog in an Aston Villa shirt. The photo was
:22:00. > :22:03.taken in Hyde Park. I presume he has Cameron Number 10 on the back.
:22:03. > :22:10.Am not sure that he and the Chancellor have much spare cash,
:22:10. > :22:16.but Alex McLeish could do worse than to ask. His uncle was the
:22:16. > :22:19.chairman of Aston Villa in the glory years. It is the club of the
:22:19. > :22:25.Establishment. Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England,
:22:25. > :22:28.Prince William, Tom Hanks, no less. Exactly, a Holyrood superstar.
:22:28. > :22:35.There is an argument as as men of that age should not be wearing
:22:35. > :22:39.football shirts. I have to say, he was exercising so I think it is
:22:39. > :22:49.allowed. And most men have not given up the dream of playing for
:22:49. > :22:50.
:22:50. > :22:55.their side. Thank you.
:22:55. > :22:59.It may not be the most tasty of fruits, but the humble black
:22:59. > :23:03.currant is having something of a resurgence. Almost a third of the
:23:03. > :23:07.total crop produced in the UK has grown in this region. This year,
:23:07. > :23:11.thanks to the spring weather, the black current season is earlier
:23:11. > :23:16.than ever. Deep in the Herefordshire
:23:16. > :23:19.countryside, the black current harvest is well under way. On this
:23:19. > :23:26.farm in Lyonshall, close to the Welsh border, they have been
:23:26. > :23:30.growing the fruit for almost 100 years. We are picking this variety
:23:30. > :23:34.about two weeks earlier than ever before. Lovely fruit, swelled by
:23:34. > :23:38.the rain and ready to harvest. some parts of Herefordshire, they
:23:38. > :23:44.have been harvesting blackcurrants for two weeks, something unheard of
:23:44. > :23:47.before. So why has the season started so early? We had a
:23:47. > :23:52.fantastic the cold winter, lovely warm spell in the spring and plenty
:23:52. > :23:57.of water recently. Sunshine on the Bush has now to get the sweetness
:23:57. > :24:03.into the berries. So this should be a very good crop. On this farm in
:24:03. > :24:08.Herefordshire they grow around 125 acres of blackcurrants. That
:24:08. > :24:11.produces around 300 tons of the fruit each year. 90% of that is
:24:11. > :24:15.bought by a manufacturer of a rather well-known blackcurrant
:24:15. > :24:21.drink. That still leaves enough fruit to produce a drink of a very
:24:21. > :24:26.different kind. This is Casillas, an alcoholic version of
:24:26. > :24:32.blackcurrant juice. It is one of the products they make on the farm
:24:32. > :24:35.from this bear fruit. This is this year's crop. What makes good
:24:36. > :24:40.blackcurrants? In terms of nutritional benefit, it is the
:24:40. > :24:46.colour, the Act -- the anti- oxidants that come from such a dark
:24:46. > :24:50.colour. There is also the fact that his is full of natural fruit sugars.
:24:50. > :24:54.As far as the crop is concerned, these are lovely berries, so we are
:24:54. > :25:02.pleased. With more fruit now being produced in the UK, the growers
:25:02. > :25:09.will be hoping the blackcurrant resurgence is here to stay.
:25:09. > :25:19.Someone around here perked up when they mentioned coses. -- when they
:25:19. > :25:20.
:25:20. > :25:24.mention the alcoholic drink! Can we Yes, we will be drinking in the
:25:24. > :25:27.garden this weekend. Not as warm as last weekend, but the headline is
:25:27. > :25:31.that we will see sunny spells and it will stay mostly dry, and it
:25:31. > :25:34.will begin to turn a bit warmer as well. The reason for the fine
:25:34. > :25:40.weather is this area of high pressure right on top of us at the
:25:40. > :25:43.moment. Through today, that has trapped a lot of cloud underneath
:25:43. > :25:47.it but that will melt away through the rest of tonight. Clear spells
:25:47. > :25:53.developing which will allow things to turn fairly chilly. In towns and
:25:53. > :25:57.cities, down to 10 Celsius, but in the countryside, may be as low as
:25:57. > :26:01.six. It will be a bright start tomorrow morning with a lot of
:26:01. > :26:05.sunshine through the first part of the day. But more cloud developing
:26:05. > :26:11.into the afternoon. Temperatures doing quite well tomorrow, getting
:26:11. > :26:16.up to 22 Celsius, 72 Fahrenheit in a light and variable wind. Tomorrow
:26:16. > :26:18.evening and tomorrow night it will stay fine, which is good news for
:26:18. > :26:23.over 400 women heading to the University of Birmingham for the
:26:23. > :26:29.start of the Starlight stroll, kicking off at 10pm. Pleasant
:26:29. > :26:33.weather for walking. Clear spells, patchy cloud and temperatures down
:26:33. > :26:37.to 10 Celsius. But there will be some sunshine on Sunday, very
:26:37. > :26:43.pleasant conditions. Patchy cloud, some spells of sunshine and
:26:43. > :26:46.temperatures beginning to rise. Maybe 23 Celsius. Not good news for
:26:47. > :26:49.everyone. High pollen levels make things miserable for hayfever
:26:49. > :26:54.sufferers. That will continue through the weekend and into the
:26:54. > :26:58.first part of next week, because during Monday and Tuesday it will
:26:58. > :27:01.stay fine and dry, with sunny spells but only in the daytime, not
:27:01. > :27:05.the night time! Temperatures eventually into the mid- twenties.
:27:05. > :27:11.As far as the weekend goes, not too bad.
:27:11. > :27:17.Just to confirm, it will be dark at midnight!
:27:17. > :27:20.Before we leave, the headlines: The former IMF chief Dominique
:27:20. > :27:24.Strauss-Kahn has had his bail conditions relaxed in New York, as
:27:24. > :27:29.doubts emerge about the sexual assault case against him.
:27:29. > :27:33.Over and out for Andy Murray, beaten again by Rafael Nadal in the
:27:33. > :27:37.Wimbledon semi-finals. The Spaniard will play Novak Djokovic in

:27:40. > :27:44.with the creation of a business enterprise zone near Coventry
:27:44. > :27:48.airport. A couple of big events are amongst
:27:48. > :27:53.many this weekend. There is a weekend of celebrations to mark the
:27:53. > :27:57.reopening of the canal at Droitwich Spa. It cost �12 million to make
:27:57. > :28:02.the seven-mile stretch navigable again, completing a Worcestershire
:28:02. > :28:07.circle. There will be displays of boats and trips on the water. And
