Hello and welcome to a new week on Look East with Susie and me. | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
In the programme tonight: Four men from Luton appear in court accused | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
of plotting a terrorist attack in the UK. | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
Parts of the region go on flood alert tonight as the wettest April | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
on record puts rivers at risk of bursting their banks. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
It's a record year for the metal thieves, but the police claim they | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
are now beating them. Security alert at our museums after | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Chinese treasures valued at millions of pounds vanished from | :00:30. | :00:40. | |
:00:40. | :00:52. | ||
Of the Prime Minister was forced to abandon a visit to Milton Keynes | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
today after he was summoned to Parliament over the Jeremy Hunt | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
affair. He had to turn back. He was due to | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
visit party activists on the build- up to the local elections this week. | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
BAA committee was gathering when they found out about the news he | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
was returning to London. Party officials were trying to look at | :01:19. | :01:27. | |
the bright side. It is a lovely day. As you can see, I am not worried, | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
we are going back out on the streets. | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
He would have defended the need for spending cuts and he was going to | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
visit a nearby a firm that specialises in PlusNet technology. | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
This is the kind of company that could lead us out of recession. | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Most people we spoke to in Bletchley are tightening their | :01:51. | :02:00. | |
belts. We have to pay the bills and keep up with financial commitments. | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
However, there is no increase in salaries so it is tough. | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
country is in a mess. Nobody has any money. You have to ride it out. | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
Spending cuts have to be made and we can't complain. Labour wants | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
this week's elections to be a referendum on the economy. The | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
shadow chancellor was campaigning in Norwich yesterday. | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
Conservatives said their plan would work. If you raise taxes earlier, | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
you can get unemployment down and it has not worked. While the Lib | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
Dems are using the Jeremy Hunt scandal to show how different they | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
are to the others. We have signed up all the links with Blair, Ed | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
Miliband, Cameron and Osborne, we have had to work hard. The Prime | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
Minister hopes to rearrange his visit to Milton Keynes but it won't | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
be before Thursday. Four men arrested in Luton have | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
been charged with plotting a terrorist attack in the UK. All | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
four were remanded in custody after a hearing at Westminster | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
magistrates court. There were six main charges and they kick -- | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
include carrying out an attack, researching an attack and raising | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
money from overseas to fund their activities. The prosecution claimed | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
one of the targets was the Territorial Army centre in Luton. | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
Sally Chidzoy is at Westminster magistrates court. What else was | :03:38. | :03:47. | |
:03:48. | :03:55. | ||
said? Let us go through those names again. They are all from Luton and | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
brought to Westminster magistrates court for their parents which | :03:58. | :04:07. | |
lasted under 20 minutes. The men, who wore tracksuits or two next, | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
all are British citizens, one of Bangladeshi origin and one from | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
Pakistani background and they spoke to confirm their names and ages. | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
The thrust of the case is that they were allegedly planning attacks in | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
the UK, including an attack on the Territorial Army centre in Luton. | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
It is alleged that they worked for Al-Qaeda and planned to carry out | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
attacks on coalition forces on the Pakistani and Afghan border. Last | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
week, they were arrested at various addresses in Luton. There was a 5th | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
man who was arrested and he was released without charge. The list | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
of charges is quite detailed, isn't it? They go into considerable | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
detail, talking about encouraging travel overseas, encouraging in -- | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
encouraging physical training, downloading, researching and using | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
electronic files on a jihadi website. Also collecting and | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
supplying funds for terrorist purposes overseas. The men are | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
charged with having various documents in a position, for | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
example 44 ways to support Jihad and techniques of silent killing | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
and Al-Qaeda at Manuals. They will appear at the Old Bailey on May | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
11th. My parts of the region are on flood | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
alert tonight after the heavy rain. This evening, a large caravan park | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
in Northamptonshire is being evacuated. We've got more than half | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
the average total for the whole of April this weekend. The Environment | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
Agency says many rivers are in danger of bursting their banks and | :06:04. | :06:14. | |
the problem could get worse. This is I broke a reservoir. | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
Because of the rain this weekend, it needs to release 280 million | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
gallons of water into the river. A warning has been issued for homes. | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
It is worrying when you see it coming up like this but because it | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
has happened for five times before, it will be on the far side. | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
these drivers are said to have helped others who were not as | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
equipped as themselves. Many vehicles did get through. A flood | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
diversion signs left this car stuck in a field. My a navigator did not | :06:54. | :07:04. | |
:07:04. | :07:08. | ||
show me this road. Matthew Spencer questioned the doubt of a rising | :07:08. | :07:18. | |
water levels. This river at Huntington is no longer passable | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
because of the excessive water levels and a fallen tree. This is | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
Great Shelford, many issues -- one of the many places issued with a | :07:30. | :07:37. | |
flood warning. Peter Elliott's asparagus crop is under water. | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
has serious implications on certain areas of asparagus. I suspect it | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
will die back and we won't Harvester it. If although the flood | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
situation has improved, so too will come the warnings. We have quite | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
high a river levels Stella in existence. We would like people to | :08:00. | :08:10. | |
:08:10. | :08:15. | ||
There are serious worries that the Billing Aquadrome in | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
Northamptonshire, the biggest caravan site in the region is on | :08:23. | :08:33. | |
alert. What is the situation there tonight? We have been advised to do | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
a precautionary evacuation. We are doing that now. We have been in the | :08:40. | :08:50. | |
process for 2 1/2 hours. How close is the water to coming into the | :08:50. | :09:00. | |
:09:00. | :09:01. | ||
side? The waters have risen but the biggest issue is the rainfall that | :09:01. | :09:09. | |
is due. When did you first hear you were going to be moved out and what | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
is your reaction? I found out about 30 minutes ago when I returned from | :09:17. | :09:27. | |
:09:27. | :09:29. | ||
work. It is a big park and we have had to evacuate. Do you know where | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
you are going tonight? I know where I am going, yes. Would you like to | :09:36. | :09:46. | |
:09:46. | :09:47. | ||
share that? I will be going to my brother's house. What is the mood | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
genuinely? I have to say, it has been fantastic. Everybody has | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
worked well together. We have a robust plan that is put into place. | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
All of the holidaymakers have worked with first and we are | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
evacuating at a high rate of knots. If the water does get in, what | :10:11. | :10:21. | |
damage would you expect to be done? It will be low level damage. It | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
won't be all over the park. It is nothing that we couldn't cope with. | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
Thank you for being with us. I hope everything remains safe. | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
We have had quite an April. It feels like it has rained every day | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
this month. He would be almost right, with the | :10:44. | :10:53. | |
exception of the 1st April, was the only complete dry day. As for the | :10:53. | :11:01. | |
beginning of May, I will be back later with a full forecast. | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
More to come including the goals from the weekend full bore. | :11:06. | :11:16. | |
:11:16. | :11:22. | ||
A plus the great art theft from a A footballer from Essex left | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
partially paralysed after a nightclub -- a nightclub brawl | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
could soon be home. Nicky Morgan was injured outside a nightclub in | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
Brentford. This weekend, he was back on the pitch to celebrate his | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
club winning the league. It is the day Nicky Morgan was dreaming of, | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
back on his feet. The goalkeeper returned to their hero's welcome. | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
Amazing. It is a day and did not think would happen. A long time ago. | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
It was not at the front of my mind. It was a goal to aspire to. | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
months ago, Nicky was taken to the Queen's Hospital in Romford, unable | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
to move from the shoulders down. He was transferred to the spinal unit | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
at Stoke Mandeville. Look East went to visit him in February as he | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
began to get more feeling in his legs. Since then, his progression | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
has been remarkable. I was not prepared to sit back and let this | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
be me. I still need to work on my arms but I am totally independent. | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
-- let his defeat me. I have done it in the last month. His return | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
was a double celebration for fans of the club, they just won the | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
league for the first time. He was able to watch from the sidelines | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
and join his team-mates to collect a medal. He has been such a large | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
part of our season even though he's not been here. I really believe, | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
and the players do as well, that he helped us in our promotion. He | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
drove everyone on. I'm not sure we would be where we are if it was not | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
for Nicky. His next step is to be discharged from hospital. The | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
ultimate aim is to play for his club again. | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
Two men have appeared in court, charged with murdering a 29 year- | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
old man in Clacton. Oliver Smith- Daye died after he was attacked in | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
a car park on New year's Day. Charlie Roberts and Alan Didier | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
will face trial along with a woman who was charged earlier. | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
Controversial plans to convert a pub in King's Lynn into an Islamic | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
community centre have been approved by councillors. There were more | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
than 700 objections, but the West Norfolk Islamic Association says | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
the plan for the Queen's Arms will build bridges in the community. The | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
English Democrats are stepping up their campaign in Essex. They are | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
fighting for an English parliament. They what makes in George's they | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
are public holiday and wants to inject some commonsense into local | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
politics. We are English nationalists and we are looking for | :14:03. | :14:11. | |
an English parliament. We do not see why when Scotland is moving | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
towards independence England should not be recognised. Norwich City | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
will be playing in the Premier League this season. Their safety | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
was mathematically guaranteed despite being outclassed by | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
Liverpool at the weekend. Norwich lost 3-0 but with other | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
results going for them, Premier League safety is now secure. | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
Saturday's game will be remembered for several reasons, but above all | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
a sensational goal by Luis Suarez. It will no doubt be replayed for | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
many years to come. Norwich against Liverpool, a highlight in the | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
camera. For the away supporters it was a dream. For the home fans it | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
was a bit of a nightmare. Spirits were dampened. If Carlos Tevez had | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
given the Norwich defence sleepless nights, another South American | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
meant those memories resurfaced all too quickly. Luis Suarez pounced on | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
a mistake to fire Liverpool ahead. His second was even better. Another | :15:16. | :15:24. | |
error, Luis Suarez balls the net. In the second path, Liverpool | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
should have added to their goals sooner. He inexplicably decided to | :15:31. | :15:38. | |
try a cheeky check. Who can question his judgment? Shortly | :15:38. | :15:48. | |
after, he did best. What a goal! a season saturated by positives, | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
one worrying statistic stands out. This is the 7th time they have let | :15:53. | :16:03. | |
:16:03. | :16:06. | ||
They boast only two clean sheets in 36 Premier League games. 63 goals | :16:06. | :16:15. | |
in all. Three mistakes, three goals. Luis Suarez is quality. All about | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
Luis Suarez. What an individual performance. He was brilliant. | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
are paid 10, at the end of the day he will punish you. He and | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
Liverpool exposed areas of concern. With Norwich guaranteed another | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
season in the top flight, this result will soon League -- soon be | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
forgotten. Ipswich finish their Championship | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
campaign in a disappointing 15th position. They finished on a high, | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
beating Doncaster at 3-2. Tommy Smith, Ryan Stevenson and Jason | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
Scotland scored the goals for Ipswich Town. Where did it all go | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
wrong for Paul Jewell? It started so well, the first goal of the | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
season they beat Bristol City. Four defeats in August, including that | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
7-1 thrashing by Peterborough, brought them down the table. There | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
was a brief respite but it was October and November that destroyed | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
their season. Seven defeats in a role. The Sun to 21st and were in | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
:17:27. | :17:29. | ||
danger of relegation. From then on, it was damage limitation. Next | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
season will be without Grant Leadbitter, who is leaving the club | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
in the summer. In League Two, great news for Southend, they can still | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
gain automatic promotion. 2-0 win over Oxford was just what they | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
needed. Results went their way, meaning they can still go up to | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
League One without the need for play-offs. To go to the last game | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
of the season with an opportunity to go up automatically is fantastic. | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
We were disappointed because we were in the driving season -- | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
driving seat for a long time. We shot ourselves in the food. | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
Confidence was eroded. In the end, to have this bonus of an | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
opportunity is fantastic. You can get more from the manager Paul | :18:15. | :18:25. | |
Sturrock on Late Kick Off tonight at 11:05pm. We will be hearing | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
about the final games of the season, what managers do when they're under | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
pressure. In snooker, he might well have missed the blue, but Essex | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
snooker player Ali Carter stormed through to the quarter-finals of | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
the world championships in Sheffield. He won a final frame | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
decider against Judd Trump. You can see how delighted he was on the | :18:52. | :19:02. | |
:19:02. | :19:07. | ||
BBC's Board website. Have a look. - - Sport website. Cancelled services, | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
delayed journeys and commuter chaos. The cost of cable theft is spelt | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
bike thousands of travellers across the region. Today there was | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
confirmation that this was the worst day so far or -- worse year | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
so far. The police need tougher powers to | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
crack down on defenders -- offenders. The good news is the | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
number of incidents has fallen. The police are confident their winning | :19:35. | :19:43. | |
the war. This is the task force. There braving the coldest night of | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
the year in a quest to cut down on this. To the thieves, this is what | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
it is all about. Overhead power cables and underground signalling | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
cable containing copper. The price of this metal has risen sharply | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
over the past five years. So has the cost to rail operators. Cable | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
theft is a big problem for me in my team. If you put it in terms of | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
train delay, 40,000 minutes in the last year. To give that context, | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
that is 27 days of delay. Those delays are costly. Network Rail | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
lead to compensate the rail operators who in turn have to | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
compensate us. The last six years have been expensive. So much more | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
is at stake here than just the financial cost. Each one of these | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
cables carries 25,000 volts. 10 people were killed trying to steal | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
them last year. Last few months have seen a decrease in thefts | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
across the Anglia region. Network Rail and the British Transport | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
Police believe that is down to their cable theft task force. | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
Increased patrols like this will help to cut crime that costs | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
between five and �6 million last year. The government are ruling out | :21:03. | :21:12. | |
any further funding for such ventures. I think what the | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
Government wants to do, and police would be supportive, is look at the | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
impact that a range of measures that will be impact -- introduced | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
this year is going to have on the stolen metal market. Measures such | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
as banning cash payments and giving greater powers to magistrates when | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
sentencing thieves. With the Olympics just three months away, | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
the thought of trains grinding to a halt means not everyone shares the | :21:36. | :21:43. | |
confidence of the police. Two museums in the region have | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
withdrawn their collections of Chinese jade following a break-in | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge two weeks ago. Chinese | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
works of art valued at millions of pounds were stolen. It comes at a | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
time when the Fitzwilliam Museum has been chosen to exhibit major | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
Chinese art this summer. There is growing excitement over | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
the most exhibit -- most ambitious exhibit to date. Part of the | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
Cultural Olympiad. The museum says it will not discuss security, | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
meanwhile, police are hoping these posters and an appeal on Crimewatch | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
will lead into the four men who got away with �18 million worth of | :22:23. | :22:32. | |
treasure. Today, the museum keepers Bowcock the sense of loss. We love | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
these treasures as much as the public and it was a great shock. We | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
love these projects and we research them. It is like babies. We really | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
want them back. 25 police officers are now operating on the project, | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
trying to jail the gang. We have the vehicle we believe was involved | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
in the burglary, very distinctive. There is a dent in the van. We | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
appeal to anybody yet there that may have seen this vehicle, either | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
between 7th April when it was stolen from London on 13th April, | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
the day of the burglary, to come forward with any information they | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
have got. If Ipswich Museum, targeted by thieves who stole up | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
rhino horn, replaced it with a replica of. It is reviewing | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
security again, removing a small number of jade items. What's unique | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
about museums is we have the real thing, something very special, you | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
can get that close to something that is real. At the same time, if | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
we take advice that something is valuable, we will review whether we | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
keep it on display are not. Tonight, the Fitzwilliam Museum remains | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
defiant, determined the latest exhibition will go ahead exactly as | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
planned. This exhibition has been two years in the making, it is the | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
most important exhibition of this kind ever, it will never be | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
repeated. We are delighted it is going ahead and we will not be | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
beaten by these people. We are now going to get the weather. We've had | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
going to get the weather. We've had the most hideous weekend of rain. | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
What a weekend. Just to let you know how wet it was, he rose and | :24:13. | :24:23. | |
:24:23. | :24:23. | ||
figures. -- he rather figures. 33 mm. That is three-quarters of the | :24:23. | :24:33. | |
:24:33. | :24:34. | ||
average monthly rainfall in just two days. As I speak, the forecast | :24:34. | :24:44. | |
:24:44. | :24:45. | ||
is really changing. We had this area of showers developing. This | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
could be on every side. Then I think we will see another weary at | :24:51. | :24:58. | |
-- another part of rain. There is the potential for local flooding. | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
Temperatures will be eight or nine Celsius. It will be a rather warm | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
night because of all the rain. The rain will be accompanied by eight | :25:06. | :25:14. | |
easterly wind. Tomorrow, this plant will move up worth -- this weather | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
front this from the south but then halts all brass. We start of wet | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
and windy with the potential of heavy rain. Some of that could lead | :25:24. | :25:32. | |
to localised flooding in places. Then we should see the rain become | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
lighter. We may see the main band of rain lingering in the north of | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
our region right through the day. Temperatures will be around 15 | :25:45. | :25:55. | |
:25:55. | :25:55. | ||
degrees Celsius. Not a great day. Once the rain has clear, the wind | :25:55. | :26:03. | |
will die down. This is the afternoon for many of us. Quite | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
cloudy. Some showers lingering in the north. Wednesday, Thursday and | :26:08. | :26:16. | |
Friday, some showers and rain. Those are the overnight | :26:16. | :26:22. |
