Hello and welcome to Midlands Today with Nick Owen and Mary Rhodes. The

:00:06.:00:12.

headlines tonight: The collapse of a leading computer games company

:00:12.:00:18.

leaves 175 people out of work. They have been so loyal to us, it is the

:00:18.:00:23.

worst thing ever. We'll be talking live in the studio

:00:23.:00:27.

to Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls about the region's wider economy. Also

:00:27.:00:30.

tonight: A police presence in schools with uniformed officers

:00:30.:00:37.

based on site. Gives students opportunities to reach out.

:00:37.:00:41.

Visitors urged to disinfect their shoes to stop the spread of a

:00:41.:00:44.

disease threatening a popular beauty spot. Another wash out at Edgbaston

:00:44.:00:47.

— what impact's the lost business having on the books? Well that may

:00:47.:00:51.

not be the only fixture caught out by the rain this week — and for one

:00:51.:00:55.

day in particular, there's a storm brewing.

:00:55.:01:06.

Good evening. More job losses today in an industry that's been one of

:01:06.:01:11.

this region's success stories. The computer games design firm Blitz in

:01:11.:01:14.

Leamington Spa is shutting, with the loss of 175 jobs. Some staff were in

:01:14.:01:19.

tears when they heard the news. It comes after a week of highs and lows

:01:20.:01:23.

as far as jobs are concerned, although figures out yesterday show

:01:23.:01:26.

unemployment in this region is still well above the national average.

:01:26.:01:36.

So what's the true picture? We'll be speaking to the Shadow Chancellor Ed

:01:36.:01:38.

Balls at the moment. Here's our business correspondent Peter

:01:38.:01:40.

Plisner. Award—winning, highly respected and has a 23—year track

:01:40.:01:43.

record, but this is what the Blitz offices looked like today after the

:01:43.:01:46.

company became the latest casualty of the recession. Management blamed

:01:46.:01:56.

its demise on changes in the market and a lack of investors. We have

:01:56.:02:01.

looked after so many creative and talented people over the years they

:02:02.:02:04.

have been loyal to us and to break this news was just the worst thing

:02:04.:02:19.

ever. 20 miles away in Solihull — a very different story. Land Rover's

:02:19.:02:21.

state—of—the—art aluminium body shop opened a year ago. Earlier this week

:02:21.:02:25.

Jaguar Land Rover said it would be investing £1.5 billion into the

:02:25.:02:27.

business creating another 1,700 jobs. But suppliers know that some

:02:27.:02:31.

skilled workers will come from their own workforce — making things much

:02:31.:02:34.

more difficult for them. Solihull's Operations Director, Alan Volkearts,

:02:34.:02:36.

who's also on the board Local Enterprise Partnership agrees that

:02:36.:02:42.

concerted action is needed. Actions to address the skills gap is totally

:02:42.:02:48.

cross the suppliers base, it doesn't us if we do not improve that, we

:02:48.:02:54.

need to look at that in address the skills challenge.

:02:54.:02:58.

But JLR aren't the only employers with vacancies — companies with

:02:58.:03:01.

1,000 jobs to fill were looking for new recruits in Worcester today. It

:03:01.:03:07.

is quite hard because people have been put off going into construction

:03:08.:03:14.

because of the recession, it is searching in the right places but we

:03:14.:03:18.

want people to come to us so we can find the right job for them. Aye

:03:18.:03:22.

I've been looking for a job seven months, I have acquired for a few

:03:22.:03:28.

places. I have got qualifications and a 20 year career history. What

:03:28.:03:34.

you're looking for? Anything, just money at the end of the day. Why are

:03:34.:03:41.

there so many vacancies and semi—people unemployed? Part of the

:03:41.:03:46.

reason is some of those who are unemployed do not have the skills

:03:46.:03:50.

for the jobs that are on offer. Enter the Chancellor George

:03:50.:03:52.

Osbourne, in the Midlands today visiting various businesses. He's

:03:52.:04:00.

adamant that we're over the worst. This has been a difficult time for

:04:00.:04:02.

the country and families have felt that pressure on their budgets, it

:04:02.:04:06.

has been an uncertain time for many families. What I would say is that

:04:06.:04:09.

the economy is turning a corner and that means for families jobs are

:04:09.:04:15.

being created and jobs are more secure.

:04:15.:04:16.

Little comfort to workers at Wolverhampton Council which

:04:16.:04:18.

yesterday announced 1,000 redundancies. Yes, some things are

:04:18.:04:22.

getting better but there are obviously going to be many set—backs

:04:22.:04:25.

along the way. We're joined now by Shadow

:04:25.:04:31.

Chancellor Ed Balls. We have an unusual situation here in the West

:04:31.:04:34.

Midlands, unemployment figures are higher than the national average but

:04:34.:04:37.

companies such as Jaguar Land Rover are recruiting — they can't find the

:04:37.:04:41.

right people with the right skills, shouldn't your government have done

:04:41.:04:44.

more to equip our young people for manufacturing? Across the country we

:04:44.:05:03.

saw 250 —— 20,000 more apprentices. The schools and skills improved year

:05:03.:05:08.

on year. The skills gap goes back. These days, everybody needs skills

:05:08.:05:15.

to succeed. Over decades, when the Labour government was in power. I'm

:05:15.:05:22.

not denying the challenge. Grammar School, some people went to

:05:22.:05:25.

university or gobby apprenticeship, and other people could get jobs when

:05:26.:05:31.

you don't need skills. Everyday —— these days every job easier still.

:05:31.:05:35.

Jaguar Land Rover are struggling to fund the higher skills. There are a

:05:35.:05:38.

load of people that can't find work. In the West Midlands, country to

:05:38.:05:41.

what the Chancellor said, unemployment is up and employment is

:05:41.:05:46.

down. People are seeing the living standards fall month by month.

:05:46.:05:52.

Things are getting harder. Was the answer? You need to get young people

:05:52.:05:59.

into work because the best way to get skills from a job. It is harder

:05:59.:06:04.

to do it from out of work. We would repeal the bank bonus tanks.

:06:04.:06:14.

Guarantee work for young people. —— repeat the bank bonus tax. Today I

:06:14.:06:23.

have been seeing a house—building projects. We need more of that. We

:06:23.:06:26.

also need to do more to help families with their budget, energy

:06:26.:06:31.

prices, rail prices. Cutting the top tax for the richest will not do the

:06:31.:06:36.

job. Another big issue is high speed to. You have said there is no bank

:06:36.:06:42.

cheque. What is the limit? There is no blank cheque, that is the right

:06:42.:06:47.

thing. What is the limit? It is £42.5 billion at the moment. Value

:06:47.:06:53.

for money is two sides of the ledger. It is the cost, the cost is

:06:53.:06:58.

going up and up, going to do deliver the benefits in some of the economy

:06:58.:07:06.

and the investment? What we have seen in weeks and months is the cost

:07:06.:07:10.

is rising. People are asking questions, and the benefits they?

:07:10.:07:13.

The government need to do a better job. We need to scrutinise closely,

:07:13.:07:18.

what I have said and this is contrary to George Osborne, there is

:07:18.:07:21.

not a blank cheque unless we are persuaded it is value for money, we

:07:21.:07:25.

will not go ahead. Is losing credibility? It has taken a big

:07:26.:07:31.

knock in recent weeks and months. We have supported it, I want to see out

:07:31.:07:37.

region succeed, the West Midlands and your tea, I am an MP. If I speak

:07:37.:07:42.

to is the best way to spend the money, go ahead. That is the air.

:07:42.:07:48.

Are you persuaded that is the right way? £60 billion in the next three

:07:48.:07:57.

years. We should not decide to spend the money, I should not be a

:07:57.:08:02.

credible Chancellor if I say that whatever the cost, even if the

:08:02.:08:05.

benefits a question, go ahead anyway. That is not responsible.

:08:05.:08:10.

What better you would pull on the —— you would pull the plug on the

:08:10.:08:16.

project if the cost escalated? Of course. If I say whatever the cost,

:08:16.:08:22.

I would go ahead, that would be foolish. I would not say today, my

:08:22.:08:31.

limit on cost. It is more about the benefits, is a journey times, is a

:08:31.:08:36.

capacity? Will bring in investment? Will work for the whole country?

:08:36.:08:38.

Those questions have not been answered. Do you back it personally?

:08:38.:08:46.

Personally, I have backed the project, the evidence of rising cost

:08:46.:08:53.

and lower economic gains, it makes me think hard about this. I'm going

:08:53.:09:00.

to write a blank cheque. Is a vet is you —— is fair to say you are

:09:00.:09:06.

changing your mind? Do we take that as a yes? Thank you. Coming up later

:09:06.:09:14.

in the programme: a memorial in Wolverhampton to a forgotten battle

:09:14.:09:18.

and the handful of Sikh heroes who held off 10,000 tribesmen.

:09:18.:09:24.

30 secondary schools across four counties now have a permanent,

:09:24.:09:31.

uniformed police presence on site. Police community support officers

:09:31.:09:33.

are dealing with everything from cyber bullying to vandalism. Head

:09:33.:09:42.

teachers say the officers work directly with pupils and also with

:09:42.:09:45.

families and the local community. Joanne Writtle reports.

:09:45.:09:47.

At the Hadley Learning Community in Telford, pupils are getting used to

:09:47.:09:50.

someone new. A police community support officer, who deals with all

:09:50.:09:56.

kinds of things. I had to speak to a cheap —— student about the

:09:56.:10:00.

appropriateness of the BlackBerry. These are serious issues, if they

:10:00.:10:06.

are allowed to escalate, harm could come to children and people are very

:10:06.:10:11.

adversely affected by the actions of others. People are taking their

:10:12.:10:18.

lives because of cyber bullying. The school system is strong but I feel

:10:18.:10:23.

that having someone else around makes you feel a lot more secure and

:10:23.:10:32.

safe. Was it a problem? Are people will go for bullying and problems at

:10:32.:10:36.

home. It's being run in 30 schools across

:10:36.:10:38.

Shropshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Warwickshire. The

:10:38.:10:41.

head teacher here says the officer will work on the playground and in

:10:41.:10:45.

classrooms, as well as dealing with bullying. I would never say there is

:10:45.:10:48.

no bullying in the school. With somebody like too many building, he

:10:48.:10:52.

can do any resolutions for us, work with young people and he will have

:10:52.:10:58.

the time to do that. It offers us an opportunity to communicate with

:10:58.:11:02.

people in school and the people within the community. We can use the

:11:02.:11:06.

school as a vehicle to reach into the committee to find that the

:11:06.:11:11.

issues affecting our students. In his safe, and it is reassuring for

:11:11.:11:17.

the kids of they don't feel comfortable going to the kids.

:11:17.:11:23.

Permanent police presence may be happening here, but it has not been

:11:23.:11:27.

adopted by neighbouring forces. Staff —— spokesman for Staffordshire

:11:27.:11:32.

police say they have a lot of contact with police. Next on there

:11:32.:11:35.

is a problem here, youngsters could find themselves being dealt with by

:11:35.:11:41.

the long arm of the law. The former MP for Redditch, Jacqui

:11:41.:11:45.

Smith, is to take up the top job at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in

:11:45.:11:48.

Birmingham. Ms Smith, who lost her seat in the General Election in

:11:48.:11:52.

2010, has been appointed as the hospital's new chairman. She'll take

:11:52.:11:55.

over from Sir Albert Bore at the start of December on a three—year

:11:55.:11:59.

contract. Prior to starting her political career, she worked as a

:11:59.:12:10.

teacher. Work's underway to try to prevent

:12:10.:12:13.

the spread of a disease which is killing trees at a beauty spot near

:12:13.:12:17.

Birmingham. Larch trees and bilberry bushes have been infected by

:12:17.:12:19.

Phytophthora at the Lickey Hills Country Park south of the city.

:12:19.:12:23.

An exclusion zone has now been set up in an effort to contain the

:12:23.:12:26.

disease. Bob Hockenhull reports. On the edge of Birmingham lie the

:12:26.:12:29.

Lickey Hills, 8,000 square feet of woodland enjoyed by thousands of

:12:29.:12:32.

visitors. But the area is under threat. There's been an outbreak of

:12:32.:12:40.

the fungal disease Phytophthora. If the disease takes hold, then that

:12:40.:12:45.

many, many trees will die. You need to act quickly, we tend to fell all

:12:45.:12:53.

of the trees within 100 metres of the infection by the end of the

:12:53.:12:56.

month. The disease first attacked rhododendron bushes here. It was

:12:56.:13:01.

then spread by spores in the air to larch trees — the first time the

:13:01.:13:04.

species has been infected in the West Midlands. The first sign of the

:13:04.:13:10.

disease in the trees is Ginger a colour. The leaves turn black and

:13:10.:13:15.

purple. That is at the point that it will release pores. People have been

:13:16.:13:19.

told to keep away from the infected area. Anyone going around have been

:13:19.:13:26.

told to wash bicycle tyres and shoes. The Rangers are spraying and

:13:27.:13:38.

burning the fungus to stop the spread of the disease. It is not the

:13:38.:13:43.

first time Phytophthora has struck in the region. Cedar trees have been

:13:43.:13:50.

infected on Cannock Chase. The Lickey Hills strain is more deadly.

:13:50.:13:57.

It has cut some of the walks off so we are hoping the problem will be

:13:57.:14:01.

resolved as soon as possible. I understand there is a lot of work.

:14:01.:14:06.

If the work prevents further outbreaks of Phytophthora, people

:14:06.:14:10.

will still be able to enjoy the precious landscape. This is our top

:14:10.:14:18.

story tonight: 175 jobs are to go in Warwickshire with the collapse of a

:14:18.:14:21.

leading computer games company. Your detailed weather forecast to come

:14:21.:14:24.

shortly from Shefali. Also in tonight's programme — we'll be

:14:24.:14:27.

asking why Edgbaston will miss out on Test cricket for another year.

:14:27.:14:31.

And how teaching seriously ill children art is aiding the hospice

:14:31.:14:32.

that treats them. A ceremony took place today to

:14:32.:14:45.

commemorate the role of Sikh soldiers in the British Army. On

:14:45.:14:50.

this day, 126 years ago, 21 Sikhs halted the advance of 10,000Afghan

:14:50.:14:56.

tribesmen. There was a wreath laying in Wolverhampton, which has the

:14:56.:14:58.

highest density Sikh population outside London. Kevin Reide reports.

:14:58.:15:07.

The battle of Saragarhi being commemorated at Wolverhampton's war

:15:07.:15:12.

memorial today. The city has more Sikhs than most others and so was

:15:12.:15:15.

chosen to remember the 21 soldiers who gave their lives protecting

:15:15.:15:20.

British interests in India. They'd managed to hold off 10,000 Afghan

:15:20.:15:22.

soldiers allowing reinforcements to arrive. Many from local Sikh temples

:15:22.:15:32.

came along as well as representatives from the British

:15:32.:15:38.

Army. It was a communications post and there were a number of posts

:15:38.:15:42.

along the north—west soap —— frontier, the 21 guys with air, it

:15:42.:15:50.

is difficult to Conran, 21 seeks defending one post from 10,000 patch

:15:50.:16:02.

tombs in the area. —— Afghans. He did five sorties in the force at the

:16:02.:16:08.

time trying to rescue the 21. The wreath laying was all about was

:16:08.:16:11.

organised by the Anglo—Sikh Heritage trail, set up to strengthen and

:16:11.:16:14.

celebrate bonds between the British and Sikh communities. There is a

:16:14.:16:21.

strong community in the UK of British Sikhs and there are

:16:21.:16:26.

third—generation Sikhs here. They want to link the Heritage between

:16:26.:16:32.

the past ancestors from Punjabi India and the British. In the

:16:32.:16:39.

country, we have Sikhs and other minority cultures that are based

:16:39.:16:43.

here so the Army needs to be inclusive and that is what we are

:16:43.:16:47.

trying to work to. A similar ceremony took place in Hyde Park

:16:47.:16:50.

today and there are plans to continue to commemorate in

:16:50.:16:53.

Wolverhampton each year Here's Dan Pallett with the sport.

:16:53.:17:09.

Warwickshire say they're a international will not affect. With

:17:09.:17:19.

India only playing one—day games at Edgbaston next year, officials are

:17:19.:17:22.

battling hard to maintain finances and reputation.

:17:22.:17:26.

This is what they'd come to see. The thrills and spills of international

:17:26.:17:29.

cricket. But they didn't have it for long. After 15 overs the rain came.

:17:29.:17:34.

And it wouldn't stop and the match was abandoned. Frustrating for the

:17:34.:17:41.

fans and for Edgbaston officials. Is disappointing, we are very

:17:41.:17:44.

disappointed for fans who came yesterday, it was a capacity crowd,

:17:44.:17:49.

they will get a refund through the normal process and it will have

:17:49.:17:52.

little impact on the scissors because we are able to ensure that.

:17:52.:17:58.

—— little impact on the business. Two years ago a test against India

:17:58.:18:01.

marked the opening of the £32 million pavilion. But despite it

:18:01.:18:04.

being loved by the cricketers there's no Test match cricket there

:18:04.:18:07.

for three years. So, have Edgbaston officials become complacent when

:18:07.:18:12.

bidding for matches from the ECB? The ECB process has produced more

:18:12.:18:20.

test mass jewellers —— test matches. The last two years we have missed

:18:20.:18:23.

out, we're putting things in place to make sure that Edgbaston is at

:18:23.:18:26.

the forefront of those decisions going forward.

:18:26.:18:29.

Brian Halford covers cricket for the Birmingham Mail. Today he was able

:18:30.:18:34.

to tend his garden in the sun — a contrast to yesterday's rain. He

:18:34.:18:36.

says Edgbaston's finances are getting tough — but it could be a

:18:36.:18:42.

lot worse. It would be a different situation if they are owed a bank,

:18:42.:18:46.

they owe all of the money to the city council and the council's

:18:46.:18:50.

judgement is that it has invested in the cricket club. There is no great,

:18:50.:18:57.

big issue. It is hard to see the time when Warwickshire will not be

:18:57.:19:00.

in debt. Australia and the Ashes return to Edgbaston in 2015 and

:19:00.:19:04.

Pakistan will play a test in 2016. But the bidding's underway for the

:19:04.:19:07.

three years after that and Edgbaston can't afford to miss out again.

:19:07.:19:15.

And Warwckshire weren't the only ones frustrated by last night's

:19:15.:19:17.

rain. The Birmingham Brummies speedway team are hoping to

:19:17.:19:20.

finishing top of the elite league. And they need only a point to

:19:20.:19:23.

guarantee first place but last night's meeting against Kings Lynn

:19:24.:19:26.

was postponed because of the rain. It'll now take place on Monday. In

:19:27.:19:35.

the Midlands are the Manchester United of the Speedway. We have

:19:35.:19:43.

wolves doing brilliantly, we might be world champion, we might finish

:19:43.:19:46.

number one in the league, we have got real aspirations for further.

:19:46.:19:53.

Absolutely, we are the top region at the moment.

:19:53.:19:57.

Football and the Midlands is one of the cheapest places in the country

:19:57.:20:00.

to watch Premier League football. A new survey shows the lowest price

:20:00.:20:03.

season tickets at Aston Villa, Stoke City and West Bromwich are all under

:20:03.:20:07.

£350. That compares to a national average in the division of £489.

:20:07.:20:11.

Arsenal's cheapest season ticket is almost £1,000.

:20:11.:20:20.

Wow! That takes your breath away. Had we keep it so low?

:20:21.:20:26.

Our clubs understand their fan base. They are keeping the prices down.

:20:26.:20:30.

But at Stoke city, they have given free coach travel to their away

:20:30.:20:34.

supporters. Unprecedented money coming into the game, they can

:20:34.:20:37.

afford it. At one of our clubs, if you renew

:20:37.:20:41.

our season ticket, they freeze the price. Had we measure up on the pie

:20:41.:20:50.

front? Crystal Palace and Kidderminster are

:20:50.:20:56.

the most expensive. They are famous throughout league

:20:56.:21:08.

football though! Dan Evans is playing tomorrow and he

:21:08.:21:14.

will be playing alongside any money. They face Croatia's number one. One

:21:14.:21:25.

picture can be worth 1,000 words it's said and that's been true at a

:21:25.:21:32.

Staffordshire hospice. Parents and staff have simply been

:21:32.:21:36.

lost for words about the quality of some of the paintings children have

:21:36.:21:39.

produced after working closely with artists. Tonight some of those

:21:39.:21:42.

paintings are on show, and we can go over live to our reporter Liz

:21:42.:21:45.

Copper. Liz. Looking pretty busy in the background?

a rare blood disorder and has two bone marrow transplants. This is her

picture in the exhibition. The best thing about painting is

:22:18.:22:24.

that when I do it really slowly and I calmed down and concentrate. It

gives her a chance to express what she is feeling and she gets to use

different techniques and it is an environment where she feels safe and

it is really enjoyable. I can tell she is relaxed. Has been a great

Hospice. It is not just about the end of care, is a sad and depressing

:24:02.:24:07.

place and we hope through the paintings, we can show people really

:24:07.:24:15.

what it is all about. The focus is on the life affirming nature of the

:24:15.:24:24.

work at the hospice. Children have fun on the come to the hospice. It

:24:24.:24:32.

is fun for the children are not scary. Seen the artworks today,

:24:32.:24:35.

we're getting a privilege to glimpse at the journeys of some of those

:24:35.:24:39.

children. You have got exciting plans in the next few months? Yes.

September. Some good sunshine at times today,

:25:10.:25:16.

I'm glad to say, and not much rain. Beautiful at the University of

:25:17.:25:17.

Ulster where I was. —— roster. There are some rain already starting

:25:18.:25:32.

to get into some part of the region and this is going to be with us for

:25:32.:25:36.

much of the night. On the plus side is going to be quite warm and body.

:25:36.:25:42.

We are —— that is down to a warm sector at the moment. Once this has

:25:42.:25:47.

cleared, the next one to come through will be on Sunday, that may

:25:47.:25:53.

not left, the temperature by much but it is certainly big on drama. As

:25:53.:25:57.

you can see the moment, it is with the intense area of low pressure.

:25:57.:26:03.

All in all, it is going to be quite stormy on Sunday. Back to the rain

:26:03.:26:08.

that is pushing in from the West, this is moving eastwards through the

:26:08.:26:13.

night. It is going to be heavy at some stage of the night,

:26:13.:26:16.

particularly through the first part of the night. Through the early

:26:16.:26:19.

hours it should clear and we are looking at a lot of cloud, Miss

:26:19.:26:22.

Denmark. Quite muddy conditions temperatures falling. —— Mr and

:26:22.:26:27.

Merck. Although the heaviest of the rain, I

:26:27.:26:38.

have just said is reserved for Sunday, we have got more rain to

:26:38.:26:47.

come through. This is mostly western and central parts of the region and

:26:47.:26:50.

a portion of the North will be spared. So this will be heavy and it

:26:50.:26:54.

will be cool and fresh tomorrow as you can see, the temperatures to a

:26:54.:27:03.

minimum of 15, two 18 Celsius. Tomorrow evening is looking quite

:27:03.:27:06.

wet. It will spread to the south—east during the early hours.

:27:06.:27:16.

It will be a cool and fresher nights and it then tomorrow night. Over the

:27:17.:27:22.

weekend, Saturday will be the best day of the weekend. Sunday will be

:27:22.:27:24.

wet and windy. And 175 jobs are to go in

:27:24.:27:38.

Warwickshire with the collapse of a leading computer games company.

:27:38.:27:43.

We'll be back at 10pm. Have a great evening. Goodbye.
