In March this year, the owner of a hotel in the Leicestershire village of Kegworth signed an exclusive contract with the Home Office to use his hotel to house asylum seekers. But the local community has been starkly divided over the arrival of dozens of their new neighbours. While some are welcoming, the arrival has also drawn angry protests. In today's episode of The Fourcast, we speak to our Communities Editor, Darshna Soni, about how this town has become divided over immigration and whether the government's mission to stop the boats is inflaming tensions - as Number 10 says it is trying to get a handle on net migration and its growing asylum backlog. This episode contains reference to suicide.

Trump Tweets New threat in China-USA Trade war There has been a new twist in the ongoing US-China Trade War. Trump said in a Sunday afternoon Twitter post (5 May 2019) that the current 10% tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods will increase to 25% on Friday. He also threatened to impose 25% levies on an additional $325 billion of Chinese goods “shortly.” Chinese Trade Delegation uncertain Chinese Vice Premier Liu He had planned to bring a large delegation to Washington on Wednesday to hash out a trade deal. There had been talk in recent days that something resembling a deal could result. Instead, two sources briefed on the talks said the Chinese side may consider backing out of this week's negotiations. Trump's new threats, they said, threaten the six-month truce. In return, Trump may have made them after Beijing threatened to renege on some previously discussed commitments. One source had said the Chinese vice premier would likely cancel the trip he'd planned for himself and a 100-person delegation. This was for the final round of talks that U.S. officials had previously said could yield a deal by Friday. In September 2018 Chinese officials canceled a trip in similar circumstances. New Trade Reality or Trade War Negotiation tactic? A second source said Trump's decision to more than double the tariff rate on $200 billion of goods was meant to send a message to Liu to not come to the U.S. with more “empty offers.” The Chinese spokesman would not elaborate on the number of people on the Chinese team, the length of the trip, or the date of departure. He also emphasized that such back-and-forth in the trade negotiations have happened before. He underlined that the latest round of talks saw “positive” progress. US-China Trade Sticking points Major sticking points between the U.S. and China have been intellectual property theft and forced technology transfers. The two superpower also disagreed as to whether tariffs should be removed or remain in place as an enforcement mechanism. Reaction to Trump Tweet “The very fact that it's a nuclear threat brings people to the table," said Warren Buffett on CNBC. "But you don't want to have too many nuclear threats out there because someday somebody may feel apt to fulfil one.” World markets, including the S & P 500, the Shanghai and the Hong Kong stock exchanges dropped sharply on the news. However, later they all rebounded substantially on the basis that this was probably a negotiating tactic rather than a realistic future plan. The response of US businesses over the last months to the trade war has been strong: A number of US businesses have been relocating factories to Vietnam from China. More recently, many businesses have been importing and stockpiling goods as a pre-emptive measure in case the threatened tariffs materialise. Amazon rebrands “Souq” as amazon.ae (UAE) On Tuesday, Amazon announced the launch of a new marketplace targeting the Middle Eastern market. With the launch, Amazon said that it is rebranding Souq, the e-commerce company it bought for $580 million in 2017, to Amazon.ae. The Souq.com URL takes you to Amazon.ae, but Souq is still available in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. It should be possible for UK/EU or US based 3rd party sellers to start selling on the platform immediately. Amazon opening new Fulfilment Centre in the Midlands of the UK Amazon has plans to open a new new fulfilment centre in Kegworth, East Midlands, UK. They are about to start recruiting for over 500 new permanent jobs. Amazon's new FC will help meet demand, expand selection and enable third-party sellers to scale up their businesses. Stefano Perego, Amazon's Vice President of UK Customer Fulfilment, said: “We are thrilled to begin recruitment for 500 new permanent roles in Kegworth, with competitive wages and comprehensive benefits starting on day one. We are delighted to expand our operations in the East Midlands.
I met Eric and Frank while mooring my narrow boat at East Midlands Boat Services in Kegworth. Two of the nicest guys and still working together after 50 years.

Last Week.. Congratulations to Wemnog and Jacaru - they tied the knot this week. GC58E0M Born to be Wild by stuarthowe11 GC58E0B 28 Days Later - Entrance to Abandoned Road by stuarthowe11 GC2B6XA - the jewellery box by rainbowteen Two more episodes of Chasing Smilies are ready for release, in fact episode 3 is out. We went live for the first time and it was chaos - fun, but chaos. We discuss Open Caching, the ideal cache container, GeoCarping and a few other things. Feedback.. From Heather Cache On Wheels.. Hi there Podcasters Could you join together with me in wishing Chris Dale one of our uk reviewers a speedy recovery please? He has been in hospital for about 2 weeks now and taken to making friends with a Gull and taking selfies with it Chris set up and does the Follow the Arrow site with a wealth of resources. He does so much for Geocaching, giving of his time freely, just as all our reviewers do. It's not about what he does in that way, but he is so kind and supportive and I thought it would be great to show our support for him, by thanking him for all he does for others. Now it is time to show we are here for him I thought a message from you all would be a kind gesture to him. And show our support for his wife Lucilla and his family too. Seems BananaSource is picking up a new name every week - this week HHH came up with Binary Source. Nemesis Cache.. We found it. GC58E0H Smell the Juice by stuarthowe11. Can it be classed as a nemesis cache if it had gone missing? Dumb Stuff Geocachers Do.. There are plenty of examples in our 'come caching with us' audio. But one thing that stands out is that we swapped devices during the day and lost track of the caches we went for. Luckily we had the audio, but we should have kept better track of our finds/DNF's.

Available for pre-order Death Row by Russell Atkinson (the latest instalment in the Cliff Knowles mysteries. When a court ruling once again halts the carrying out of the death sentences of hundreds of condemned murderers, a frustrated vigilante organization decides to take matters into its own hands. In a mysterious and grisly act of horror, San Quentin's entire population of condemned prisoners is executed in the dark of night. But how? And who are these vigilantes? Answering those questions falls to retired FBI agent Cliff Knowles, now a successful lawyer. His lover, Special Agent Ellen Kennedy, is intent on completing a geocaching challenge known as the Fizzy Challenge, but inadvertently turns Cliff into suspect number one by going for one cache too many. She has no doubt Cliff is innocent, but he's kept a secret from her. He's kept a secret from everyone – and he knows that her faith in him is misplaced. His only chance of keeping Ellen in his life, perhaps even of staying off death row himself, is to get to the critical evidence before the FBI does. My GPS Made Me Do It — 900 Mile Detour (from GPSTracklog.com) “I was distracted, so I kept driving,” Moreau told Spanish newspaper El Mundo “I saw all kinds of traffic signs, first in French, then German and finally in Croatian, but I kept driving because I was distracted. Suddenly I appeared in Zagreb and I realized I wasn’t in Belgium anymore.” According to that article she not only refueled twice during the trip, but got in a minor accident and stopped to sleep in her vehicle. Geocaching hobby gives more meaning to man's time out of hospital (www.denverpost.com) He is in it for the long haul, meaning possibly beyond his own mortality. "I've thought about making my tombstone have a hidden compartment with a GeoCoin cache inside," he said. Come Cache With Us.. Want to know what it is like going caching with us? Well this audio pretty much sums it up.

BananaSource got the Shortyknits voice wrong: From Alex Brydon (@(B my geocaching name) Hello Mark and Sam, This is for the most resent podcast. And I agree with you Mark when you said Sam is not nice to the Americans but is very nice to Canada! I didn't like your 'women' accent, it sounds nothing like a lady! Keep up the good podcasts! thanks for the podcasts, It's you Scott berks!! A shocking revelation, Doctor D has known Shorty for years - what is the 11 on his shirt for? Shortyknits thinks its all about being one louder. There is also the theory that they are knitting needles. What do you think? We also got this e mail from Shortyknits: Doctor D, It has been a sad week. How could you pretend to not know me after everything? I'm heartbroken.......shortyknits Dumb Things Geocachers Do.. Greetings from Kansas USA! I listen and greatly enjoy your podcast program. Here is a cache find posting I made for a multicache I found while caching with 2 other cachers. GC58R4X The Necropolis At Mount Allen by ottieolsen is the cache. Feel free to use it on your show if you would like to. Here it is, Excellent multi! Good fun, good history. And if you aren't operating at 100% and don't get the decimal point at the right spot you can turn it into a 5 spot multi!!! Oh, did I say 5??? Try 6 if you screw up on the decimal location twice!!! LOL!!! And if you are so multi talented (get the pun???) as I am you can visit 2 locations that neither is correct, yet both are excellent locations for a container!!! (lots more LOL! Either that or cry!) Soooo, after an extra 45 minutes of searching that would have worked for an episode of either CSI or NCIS, we (caching with 2 over cachers) FINALLY got to the correct location for the final!!! Bells rang, horns honked, fans cheered! (In my mind they did anyways! But it may have been from the heat!) We were rewarded with another ottieolsen class, not what we were expecting, cache container! Thanks again for another awesome cache in the Hays area! Cachers are always telling of the wonderful things that they have discovered and learned from Geocaching. I agree! Now I can add double checking info, repeatedly, to that list! Cache on! Podcast on! Redbeard4570 Nemesis Geocache.. D D & B S,I really enjoy the banter between you two.As of this month, August, my nemisis cache(s) are Mystery/Puzzle Caches and Multi-Caches. It seems that ever since the 7SofA, I can't find the final or the next stage to get the souvenir. As of this email, I have less than two weeks to get these last two cache types. To top it off, I've found all the Mystery and Multi's in my town and neighboring town, so I have to travel 15-30 miles one way just to fail. I don't know if I'll get all seven souvenirs.Doctor D,I wouldn't worry about Scott Berks and a "plane ticket", I've heard that he won't drive into downtown Chicago to go geocaching. So you're probably safe...but then again, you are talking messin' with his girl. :-0Listening from NW Indiana and loving the show.Keep up the good work,IN_Darel Ask Doctor D.. Tony Liddell what's the ultimate achievement in caching, eg most finds, most 5/5s, covering most counties etc Travelbug Race.. Oh Beep! Where are my other legs? is still in Wales and hasn't moved. The Monkey King's Southern S@m is still in Bayern, Germany. GeoPaul's Video of the Week.. Prostitute Geocache!!! By Geocache Spoilers http://youtu.be/NdkPF6Rf1mk Check GeoPaul’s Youtube channel HERE Discussion.. What makes geocaching so great and unique, in comparison to other activities? Its a "make your own adventure" activity. You tweak what, when, where, why, who and how to make the game unique. It's a tour guide Dave DeBaeremaeker "I've learned so much history about my town, and may other towns, that I never would have found without caching." It gives you a reason to explore It can make socialiser out of the most delicate of wallflowers Dave "I am not a social butterfly - just ask my wife about how cranky I get after spending a few hours at most social events. Make it a social gathering of geocachers, and I am there all day, and wanting more the next day. Being amongst ones tribe is a good thing, and among geocachers, I've found my tribe." Cache On Wheels Geocaching "Geocaching can be done by everyone, we can't get them all but there's plenty to choose from. It encourages you to meet knew people, explore our wonderful world, learn historic and geological facts. It encourages us to get out and about giving us a purpose and plan where to go, or be able to do it ad hoc.Oh and you get pretty pics to out on your profile page." News & Events..
