Fighting to stay at number one, the Port of Felixstowe and the threat

from its rival. Is a large shipping line starts to walk away from

Felixstowe that could have a significant effect on the town and

the whole of Suffolk. The sport showed the country how to do

containers and why should they not continue? -- this port. The girl who

could not swim rescued by lifeguards. She was in water were

she could not stand and being in nonswimmers she was getting pulled

out further to see. The difference a year can make,

Olympic champion Greg Rutherford fails to qualify at the world

chamionships. The copyright row between the energy

drink giant and the Norfolk The threat to the success of our

biggest container port. The port of Felixstowe is the number one in

Britain but now it's fighting to retain its position, as a major

competitor prepares to open. The port of Felixstowe is huge and

so are the figures. 3.7 million containers and 4,000 ships every

year. One job in every ten in Suffolk is linked to the port, in

some way. But later this year, a new terminal will open, about 60 miles

down the coast. London Gateway on the River Thames will be fighting to

take business away from Felixstowe. An expert told us it could be as

much as 20%. Let's go live to Felixstowe and our chief reporter,

Kim Riley. We tried to get an interview today about a possible

threat from down there in the Thames Estuary but it's a bit like the

elephant in the room. They don't want to discuss the London Gateway.

But they are happy to emphasise their own strengths, including a

report that says to its customers, you'll save money if you stick with

A moving gang helping to birth this ship this morning. This Hong

Kong-based company has invested billions in the development of the

port and has further ambitious expansion plans. The report

commissioned found that both inland and maritime costs here would

significantly undercut those of its rival, due to open in November. This

handled 3.7 million containers last year, the best ever. -- 40% of UK

container traffic. The new report plays down competition from London

Gateway but people in the county are concerned about anything that pushes

up the cost. And one of the concerns is this road becoming a toll road.

It is seen as a bit of attacks on Southwark industry and particularly,

of course, the port industry that we see behind us at Felixstowe. Every

lorry that calls to the Midlands or beyond there will be paying that

tax. This is the first time it has been done on an ordinary piece of

road in the UK. London Gateway is owned by Dubai World. Its management

is intent on winning customers from other ports. We will be providing

services and those who wish to take places of broader real will be using

this. What prosthetics does Felixstowe C for its rival?

Felixstowe has already proved itself. We do it day in, day out.

London Gateway have really got to prove to the shipping world that

they can actually do what they are claiming to do. The port of

Felixstowe has earmarked a spot for future expansion. Its long-term aim

is to be able to handle eight million containers per year in the

future. Yes and they're very confident that

will leave the London Gateway lagging far behind. You can't

emphasise too much how important voth ports are for jobs. -- both

sports. For the Gateway, more than 27,000 in London and the south east.

Here at Felixstowe, 2,500 jobs in the port and more than 12,000 in

businesses connected with it hope that both will flourish. The

question is, can both? There's been a warning to swimmers

today, after a 14-year-old girl was swept 50 yards out to sea, in

Norfolk. The teenager who couldn't swim was caught in a rip tide with a

friend at Sea Palling, yesterday afternoon. Her life was saved by

RNLI lifeguards. There is a strong current which pulls people of the

edge and drag them out into the deep water. The very spot where the

14-year-old nearly drowned. As we start filming, the lifeguard who

saved has two breakaway. Hello, would you mind moving into these

flags forever and watch out for the boat? If you want to swim, make sure

you are between these flags for us. Do they realise the danger? No.Just

24-hour is earlier, Max was patrolling the same stretch of beach

then he saw a young girl and man walk out towards the rocks. Within

seconds, a wave swept them off their feet. She was not his honour. I swam

out as fast as I could. The man immediately got the girl of him,

because he was getting pushed under water. I threw him each tube. I

clicked to him from behind to reassure him. I told him that she

was going to be ugly and we would get back to shore. The teenager,

from Northampton, was treated for shock. -- I told him that she would

be OK. It was a bit weirder because, I don't know, she shouldn't have

really been in there as a non-swimmer. They were not that far

out but you could see the tide was crossing over so... Where would you

slim, where would you not? Now, I'm going to swim wear the flags are, in

between the flags. So far, the lifeguards have had to rescue ten

people here this season, not least because of the sea defences. While

some swimmers claimed the rocks, others are caught out by the

riptides that sleep around them. Tonight, 114-year-old girl -- one

14-year-old girl knows that her life was saved.

Wind turbines are almost always controversial but villagers in

Suffolk have told Look East they are amazed about the amount of money a

local farmer stands to make if he's allowed to build one. Our

environment reporter, Richard Daniel, reports.

To some, they are majestic. Two others, via an eyesore. At the

recent parish council meeting, the sums involved were an eye-opener.

Harry Stanley, a local farmer, hopes to build a 250 kilowatts wind

turbine on his land. 45 metres high, it will cost around �500,000.

It is forecast to earn him a �2000 per year in feed in tariffs. --

�80,000. Return this man finds staggering. It is the greatest

racket since the South Sea bubble and tulip mania. People will look

back in years to come and think that those people in the beginning of the

21st-century went absolutely mad. They put their faith in monstrous

wind turbine which wrecked the countryside, valued their homes and

out of the got a small percentage of their energy requirements. Whether

you like wind power and not, we all pay for it. The average UK energy

household bill stands at about �1200 per year. Of that, �112 are green

taxes. Of that �112, �18 goes towards supporting wind power. If it

is built, Tim all have a grandstand view of the turbine from his garden.

We have accepted the ones we have got now but we think one third -- a

third is over the top. The parish council voted to reject it. Harry

declined to be interviewed but the company hoping to build the turbine

company hoping to build the turbine for home told as has tried to

incentivise landowners like him to is some time off but if the UK is to

meet renewable energy targets, many more like it will be needed. So,

should local communities have to put for the Green party. Your community

support renewables and yet this community does not want one? What is

crucial is that all of the financial benefit from this wind turbine will

go to one person. We in my party think that is wrong. We think that

every renewable energy schemes should be a community one. How would

that work? Is this man is going to have it on his land would -- is he

not entitled to the money? There are different ways that it can work. In

Oxford, there is a scheme were the investment was done by local

people, ordinary local people. 90% of the investment. Another way it

can be done, as it has already been done in Suffolk, was to make sure

that there is a percentage of the money that comes from these

turbines, from the energy they generate, that ghost to the local

community. Every year, thousands of pounds. We heard in that report,

whatever you say about money coming into the community, he called them

monstrous and that is what a lot of people think. To finish the point,

thousands of pounds going into children's playgrounds, parish

halls. There are still monstrous.We have to be placed in the final done

a great position and it is up to the community to decide whether right

places. There are some parts of our region which are very suitable.

Other parts, not much. I spoke to the Energy Minister last week and he

said we could either have thousands of onshore wind turbines or we could

have offshore ones. He thought offshore bonds were better. It seems

to me that in the time that we are in now, after he could Shima -- hero

Shima anybody who wants to go nuclear is mad. It would be terrible

to do that rather than into the safe, sensible, future orientated

option which is green, renewable in. It is not just wind, it needs to be

solar, wave, tidal, we have great renewable resources and that is what

my party say we should be investing A body found near a golf course has

been formally identified as the missing Basildon man Michael

Redmond. Mr Redmond went missing last month after visiting a gym. His

body was found by police search teams on Monday, in wooded

undergrowth near Basildon Golf Course. The death isn't being

treated as suspicious. New figures show that fewer vehicles

have been using the Dartford crossing in Essex. The Highways

Agency says there has been a steady decline in numbers since 2005. An

average of just under 135,000 vehicles used the crossing every day

last year. Also coming up: The company that is printing its way

to export success. And the backstreet poorly that has

fallen foul of one of the biggest brands in the world. -- Brewery.

It's amazing how different a year can be. That was the reaction today

of the Olympic long jump champion Greg Rutherford after he failed to

qualify for the finals at the world chamionships in Moscow. Greg, who's

from Milton Keynes, was one of the posterboys of London 2012. But after

the euphoria, it's been a tough 12 months. Let's go live to Milton

Keynes and James Burridge. Good evening. These two marks in the sand

really tell the story. To my right, Greg's gold winning performance in

London, to my left, what he did today. Seven metres 87. Just two

centimetres short of his qualification down. To you and I, it

probably looks a small detail but in athletics terms it has a huge

impact. He flew to Moscow on a wing and a prayer. Some questioned

whether he should be competing at all. Five weeks after a major

hamstring injury, Greg Rutherford charged down his run-up as quickly

as he could. We discovered that he was not ready. He needed to leap

eight metres ten or finish in the top 12 to make the final. His best

of 7.87 metres was just too short. I felt fantastic, training has been

going well. I thought it was going to be a good day. I tell you what, I

gave it everything I could. We had to make a lot of adaptations to make

it work. It didn't, that's the hard fight. It is amazing how different a

year can be. Greg Rutherford's selection for Moscow had been

controversial. His recuperation had prevented him from qualifying for

the World Championships but has been given the benefit of the doubt by UK

Athletics. -- he had been given. is very difficult and it is hard to

judge an athlete's decisions about whether or not they should be in a

Championship. If they make that call, they have to go with whatever

happens. I think that five weeks on, you should not really be running,

let alone jumping. I just thought that I could not hope to compete but

sadly I think that I felt better than I actually was today. When I am

fit and well I stand a good chance. That is the hard facts. It completes

a disappointing year for Greg Rutherford. He has lost his

sponsorship and split from his American coach. Today, he may

reflect on whether it would have been better covering at home. --

recovering. This pitch behind me was where he was training last week. He

did not choose to go to the holding camp at Barcelona. He had to make

sure that he was getting the treatment here but we feel it was

treatment that came too late. The chairman knows him well. Why do

athletes do this? When you're at that stage of your life, these big

occasions it is where you get your big buzz. I think he just wanted to

be there. He had worked really hard all through the winter to make this

event and he just wanted to be in the stadium. He has had a terrible

12 months. He has not got a court, a sponsor and has not made the final

of the World Championships. -- a coach. He had a court until April

but the best coach in the world went back to America. He has not got a

sponsor by these things take time. What is the future from his -- for

him now? I do not think this will hurt him. You have the Commonwealth

Games next, the World Championships the year after and then the

Olympics. I know he is wanting to go on to Rio de Janeiro. It is

interesting. So many gold medal athletes that we remember, they were

not training in their old local pits, Greg Rutherford is. The

relationship he has is going to be absolutely crucial.

Thank you. Unemployment in this region has gone

down according to the latest figures - mirroring a fall in the national

total. 203,000 people are out of work. That's 6,000 down on the

previous quarter. This leaves the unemployment rate

here at 6.5%, compared to 7.8% nationally.

And of course, one of the best ways to create more jobs is to export

more products. This week, we're looking at the companies from this

region which are leading the way. Tonight, we're in Cambridgeshire at

Domino. The company makes printers which can print on anything from

glass bottles to egg shells. This machine is printing use by

dates on cartons of juice as they speed along the production line. It

is made by Domino printing, based in Cambridge. Their machines are used

to print labels, bar codes and dates on all types of things. Designed and

built in East Anglia, most of these printers will end up in factories

thousands of miles away. About 95% goes overseas and I did not think

there is a country in the world where you would not find a Domino

printer. We region not support it customer, service the local market,

it has steadily expanded. The major countries are the ones you would

anticipate, the growing economies of the world dashed China, India, South

America. The trade with more than 120 countries, every printer

thoroughly tested before it leaves the building. These machines can and

on any surface, paper, card, glass bottles, even a child. The company

started in Cambridge in 1978 and is now worth more than �300 million. --

even eggs. Last year, profits where over 53 million. Of its jobs, around

500 are based in Cambridge. We are great believers in the qualities of

British workmanship. We have been very happy in Cambridge,

high-technology, we are technology company. We have very much stayed

close to home. Domino sells a lot of its printers to factories in Europe.

Figures show that the Eurozone economy is now out of recession and

growing again. That is important to businesses like this. Europe is

about 40%, obviously very important to a company like us. It is hugely

important to come out of recession and the main reason is that people

of money to invest in product and that is about confidence. News that

we have that Europe is moving in a more positive way builds confidence

in the people who are making decisions to invest in new

equipment. Tech a has been trading for the last 20 years and is listed

in the top companies in the UK. Their ambitions, no secret, or

customers, more staff, more renters rolling off the production line.

Earlier, I spoke to Liz Basing from UK Trade and Investment which

advises companies on the export market. -- more printers. I started

by asking how important exports were to the recovery of the UK economy.

It is incredibly important. There are four things typically that

enable you to recover from a recession. There is government

spending, domestic demand, foreign direct investment and exports.

Exports are a real key part of moving as out of recession. What are

the kind of companies that are doing this? The East of England exported

over �27 billion worth of goods last year. If you look at the companies

who are asking them to help them export, the kind of product areas

that they are in our Biotech, health care, oil and gas, food and anchor,

engineering and education and training is a big sector for this

region. Are we talking about China, Asia, what are the biggest markets?

There is a big picture, really, about rebalancing exports from

European experts which Celtic over half to the emerging economies.

There are lots of markets like China, Mexico, Brazil, Turkey where

there is strong growth and high domestic demand. -- would still take

over half. They are the markets were the big export is involved. Others

intent, if you are a company who is beginning to export and we want to

find 100,001 of those companies between now and 2020, you may well

want to look at Europe and it is still a big important market. --

100,000 more of those. We have done a feature about shoes

and how successful they are in Northamptonshire in the exporting.

-- Doc Martens. Is it because they are easy to export orders and

because of the brand? With shoes, you are talking about the brand. We

have got companies in this region who do very well on exporting

high-end shoes. There are economies, China coming to mind,

that are really ready for higher end UK products and branding is very

important there. Other products and services you are selling on price,

quality, delivery, as he would sell to anybody in the UK. Thank you very

much. And if you're from a company that would like advice on exporting,

you can contact UK Trade and Investment on 0845 641 9955.

That is a massive figure. We exported �27 billion from this

region! Take two companies. One is tiny and

brews there and the other is a huge multi-national with one of the most

popular energy drinks in the world. So what's the problem? It's all in

the name, as Mike Liggins reports. The international headquarters of

the Redwell brewing empire. Underneath the railway arches. It

brews lager and there, employs eight people and supplies about 40 pubs in

Norfolk, Suffolk and London. Not to be confused with Red Bull who do not

make there but to sell billions of counts of an energy drink. In May,

Redwell tried to register their name but then they got an angry letter

from Red Bull. The Red Bull letter says the term pool and the term will

share the same ending and just differ in two letters. The ending is

identical and therefore the terms Red Bull and Redwell are confusingly

similar. The letter also said Redwell should withdraw their

trademark application. As it turns out, Redwell is called Redwell

because the directors used to hang out in Red Bull Street in Norwich.

They could not work out what Red Bull were on about. -- Redwell

Street. Do the Giants have a point? Everything we are doing is

different, her design, name, and product. I cannot see that they do.

I hope they realise that and kind of take note and look at what we are

doing and realise that we are not anywhere near what they are doing.

Today, there was a storm of protest on Twitter. Good for Redwell, not so

good for Red Bull. They have been saying things like it is impossible

to get a pint of there in a glass confused with a can of energy drink.

It has just been completely overwhelming. I mean, we have had

nearly 2000 interactions since about 9am. Then, late in the day, a

twist. From Redwell's trademark solicitor. We have managed to

negotiate a possible settlement which is now on the table. It is a

good commercial solution for both parties. Red Bull now that Redwell

won't enter into their market and Redwell will be able to use their

trademark without the fear of further legal action. Red Bull did

not like the publicity, Redwell have promised not to make energy drink,

which they were never going to, in this David and Goliath contest, a

victory for common sense. There was a famous case with the

Marx brother and Warner Brothers, was then not, Warner Brothers wrote

to them and said you could not use Casablanca and one of the Marx

Brothers wrote back and said you cannot use the word Brothers!

That is a great story. Let's have a starting to see a bit of cloud but

let me draw your attention to last night's temperatures. It got rather

cold. A few spots across the region had eight degrees. Compare that to

how low the temperatures will go tonight. It is going to be extremely

mild. In fact, quite warm. The reason is that Atlantic weather

system. It has brought some rain across the West Country and has

started to introduce cloud across the region. Also, it will bring in

this quite humid air. We will notice quite a difference by tomorrow. The

last few hours, the satellite image show all of that sunshine being

squeezed away. A fairly cloudy evening for all of us. For some of

us, some patchy, light rain. It is not going to be significant amounts

of rain but certainly would be dabbing places. A lot of cloud and

increasingly humid overnight. -- could be quite damp in places.

Tomorrow, essentially it is going to be dry across much of the region.

The main frontal activity to the North. It will be quite windy

through the day and there will not be a huge amount of sunshine,

perhaps some brighter spells but essentially abortive crowd.

Temperatures -- essentially quite a lot of cloud. Those temperatures

will be higher. It will feel very different to today. You can see

those average wind speeds still quite high. There is a chance of

catching a shower. Lasers at risk are the northern half of the region

across parts of north London. Ulster, largely dry. -- -- places at

risk or the northern half and parts of Northampton sure. Others, largely

dry. It will be quite windy. You can see the next weather front lining up

to bring us some wet weather for the first half of the weekend. Into

Thursday night, we get a spell of severity rating so it could be quite

welcome to some. -- steady rain. It may well take quite some time to

clear on Friday. It could be overcast with some outbreaks of

rain. Gradually turning a little bit more showery and brighter. Into the

weekend, it will be quite windy. It will not be wait all day on Saturday

but quite cloudy with some rain later on. Sunday does look largely
