rain from the east. That's all from the BBC News At | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight... | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Network Rail closes dozens of level crossings in our region. But can you | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
ever keep the railways completely safe? | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
The Jay Whiston murder trial. An eyewitness tells of the moment the | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
teenager was stabbed. Could this be a champion of the | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
future? Another foal for Frankel the wonder horse. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
And another potential champion. Charley Hull on preparing for her | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
first Major. Hello. First tonight, Network Rail | :00:31. | :00:48. | |
announces it has closed dozens of level crossings across the region | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
and says we've got a safer railway as a result. | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
In the Anglia area ` which covers Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
Cambridgeshire ` 94 crossings have been closed. The majority of those | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
were in remote areas and on footpaths. At 12 of those crossings, | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
a footbridge has been put in place. In 2012, Network Rail was fined ?1 | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
million after two teenage girls were killed on a crossing in Essex. This | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
from our chief reporter Kim Riley. The 750th level crossing to close. | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Cardells farm crossing at Great Paxton in Cambridgeshire. One less | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
potential hazard on the busy East Coast Main Line. A level crossing | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
not far away will remain. Though even here, some drivers have | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
concerns. You are always wary about crossing. You know, you use your | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
senses a little. But yeah, don't be stupid. Don't jump them is the | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
motto, isn't it? Last September, at Waterbeach, Network Rail recorded | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
one of the closest near misses it had seen. The 26`year`old cyclist | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
later formally cautioned by police. The dangers posed by lack of | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
concentration on busy crossings featured in a hard`hitting public | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
information film by Network Rail. It has to be a train. We've had | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
that. Do you give up? Yes, I do. Me too. Wait, is it tracks? | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
HORN BLARES, SCREAMING. NARRATION: Distraction can cost you | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
your life. See track. Think train. The wake`up call over level crossing | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
safety followed the deaths of teenagers Olivia Bazlinton and her | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
friend Charlotte Thompson. That was at the crossing in Elsenham in Essex | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
nine years ago. Olivia's mother, Tina Hughes, was taken on as Network | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Rail's level crossing champion. While we have been here, several | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
people have gone through when the barriers are coming down. It makes | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
my stomach just turn over. This is the Gypsy Lane crossing at | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Needham market in Suffolk. In 2011, 82`year`old pedestrian Brenda | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
McFarland was killed here. More than two years on, safety improvements | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
here have yet to begin. On the Great Eastern Main Line between Liverpool | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
Street and Norwich, trains pass every few minutes. The Rail Accident | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
Investigation Branch recommended its closure. But the local community | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
wanted it to remain open. But with safety improvements. So far, they | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
haven't happened. We have a lot of people who walk dogs. It is the only | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
way to get across there to enjoy those amenities. The sooner the | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
better? Really, yes. We do want an answer. It has been a long time. | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
We're hoping something will come soon. The County Council said they | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
are working with Network Rail for a solution. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Warrwick Dent is from Network Rail. I spoke to him a short while ago and | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
asked him how decisions are made about which level crossings to | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
close. We are desperate to close as many as we can. The way we | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
prioritise it is based around the risk it presents. And other factors | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
around the strength of feeling from the local community. And the help we | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
can get from the council. There is no barrier on our part on closing as | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
many as we can as quickly as we can. When you say you look at the risk a | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
certain level crossing has. Does it take a death to start considering | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
what happens? Certainly not. Nationally, we employ 120 level | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
crossing managers. Their sole purpose is to maintain, manage, | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
assess and evaluate the use of that crossing. And the risks it presents. | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
Part of that evaluation is talking to the local community. Just making | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
sure that, when we take any actions to improve the crossing safety, we | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
do that with full agreement and support from the community. | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
Tina Hughes, who I know has worked closely with Network Rail since her | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
daughter was killed on a leading crossing in Essex, says Network Rail | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
has still a long way to go. Do you agree? I think it's fair to say that | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
we've made huge inroads in the last five years. We are committed to | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
carrying on that good work during the next five years of our control | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
period. We have closed 750. We still aim to close another 500 in the | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
coming period. Always more you can do with level crossing. And the | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
safest level crossing is a closed level crossing. We will continue to | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
aim towards that. Thank you. Thank you. | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
The last moments of a teenager who was stabbed to death at a party in | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Colchester have been described in Chelmsford Crown Court. 17``year`old | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Jay Whiston, who lived in Clacton, died in September 2012 after being | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
stabbed through the heart. Another teenager, Edward Redman, denies | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
murder. Today, one of Jay's friends gave evidence. Gareth George was in | :05:51. | :05:59. | |
court. At the centre of this murder trial | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
here that Chelmsford Crown Court, a teenage party held in summer 2012, a | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
scuffle broke out, a 17`year`old Jay Whiston is fatally stabbed, one of | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
his friends, with him that night, is Ben Ward Cochrane, giving evidence | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
to the jury to date. He described the moment is immediately after Jay | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
was stabbed, he said Jay stumble towards him, said, I've been | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
stabbed, I know it! These are harrowing days for Jay | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
Whiston's family. As evidence was given, Jay mother, with the dark | :06:38. | :06:47. | |
year, quietly wept. 17 euros Jay died in September 2012 from a stab | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
wound to the heart, after a fight broke out close to a party organised | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
by a teenage girl. Around 100 people turned up and stop the fight was | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
over a bottle of alcohol. Ben Ward Cochrane said after Jay Whiston was | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
stabbed, he was staggering and look pale. He said he helped Jay Whiston | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
onto the pavement. Edward Redman denies murder. His brother and | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
father, as Bella says ex`girlfriend, are in the dock | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
alongside him, denying a charge of conspiracy to provide the course of | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
justice. The trial is expected to last another nine weeks. | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
It is expected to go on for so long, because there are scores and scores | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
of witnesses, over 60 of them, many of them teenagers who were at the | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
party that night, many of them too young to be legally named and many | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
giving evidence from behind screens, so only the jury, lawyers and judge | :07:49. | :07:56. | |
cans idem. At the opening of this case, prosecution told the jury that | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
Jay Whiston's death was a senseless and tragic taking of young life so | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
full of promise and he told the jury it was an example of the danger that | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
knife crime now poses. Course, it is important to point out that Edward | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
Redman denies the charge of murder that he faces. The trial here | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
continues at half ten tomorrow morning. | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
Gareth, thank you very much. Six drug dealers are starting | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
sentences totalling 41 years after being convicted at Basildon Crown | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
Court. The men belonged to a gang known as the Bush Boys, who | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
exploited local addicts by using their homes as bases for drug | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
dealing. They were jailed for between four to 16 years. | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
A report into a near`fatal accident on the Queen's Sandringham Estate | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
has found health and safety paperwork was out of date. An estate | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
worker had to be rescued after he was trapped underwater when the | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
ride`on lawn mower fell into a lake at the Norfolk estate in July. A | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
Health and Safety Executive report said the man may have escaped if the | :09:00. | :09:08. | |
machine's roll bar had been in use. The police are linking a string of | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
incidents involving phone cable being cut in two Suffolk villages. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
Sometime in the last week, a manhole cover was opened in Stanton and a | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
section of cable removed. And last Sunday, there were two incidents in | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
which phone cable was cut but not taken. | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
The wife of Roger Pratt, the man who was murdered on his yacht in St | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
Lucia, says they felt safe until those final tragic minutes. Margaret | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
Pratt has been speaking publicly for the first time since the couple were | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
attacked on Friday. Today, a postmortem revealed Mr Pratt died | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
from drowning after being attacked. This is the day we're Roger Pratt | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
lasted like whilst trying to defend his life, Margaret Pratt left badly | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
beaten. We enjoyed St Lucia, not felt unsafe there until the events | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
of those final tragic minutes. And we have had considerable tightness | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
from very many people. That kindness is continuing. `` considerable | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
kindness. It is continuing during the investigation. This was the boat | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
just before the couple set off on their trip of a lifetime. But on | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
Friday, three armed men burst onto the yacht, attack them and fled. | :10:24. | :10:34. | |
Mark Brooks Platt `` Margaret Parrt find her husband floating nearby. | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
This man only find out what happened to his vessel and that the police | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
said it had been used to kill someone. When people said it was the | :10:45. | :10:53. | |
one used, that is my daily bread, what will I do? The police in St | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
Lucia will have to decide whether to charge the three men arrested or | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
apply to the court for more time. The latest now on the bid by one of | :11:03. | :11:19. | |
our most senior MPs to keep his job in Parliament. Tim Yeo has been the | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
MP for South Suffolk since 1983. It's a classic safe seat. At the | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
last election, his majority was more than 8,500. | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
But in November; a bombshell from the executive of his constituency | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
association. They decided they didn't want him to be their | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
candidate in next year's General Election. In response, Mr Yeo has | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
asked for a ballot of all 600 members of the association. We'll | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
find out the results of that ballot on February third. He insists he | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
still has widespread support from his party. And there are several | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
dozen messages of support on his own website. | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
He declined to speak to Look East today. But here's what he told BBC | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
News about the ballot. I wanted all 600 members of my party in South | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
Suffolk to have the chance to take part in this vote. I did not want it | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
to be left to a small group of 30 people. I look forward to the | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
results of this ballot eagerly. I am quite happy to be judged on my | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
record and what I have done in South Suffolk. And what I do at | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
Westminster for Parliament and for the Conservative Party. And I am | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
quite confident that, if people look at my record, then they will reach | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
the verdict I hope they will reach, which is to reselect me. | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
Critics of Mr Yeo are not hard to find. But what makes this very | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
unusual is they have become very vocal. Earlier this afternoon, I | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
spoke to John Hinton, a Conservative councillor in Suffolk. I started by | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
asking him what his problem is with Mr Yeo. My problem is that, in 32 | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
years in the village, we have had him as an MP for most of that time. | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
And in the early stages, when it was a brand`new constituency, he was a | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
very good local, convicted MP. `` local, connected MP. There were the | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
odd scandals, which were glossed over and moved on with. Because he | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
was generally doing a good job. In recent years, we have seen little of | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
him. In the village or elsewhere. And the criticism that comes to me | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
from other party members is that they do not see him. They do not | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
seem connected with the constituency. But isn't that a | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
problem when you become a well`respected member of the party? | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
You are on select committees and business keeps you in the House of | :13:37. | :13:46. | |
Commons? To a certain extent, yes. But as I pointed out in my letter | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
published in the press today, a rough analysis shows that 33% of his | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
time is possibly spent on his own personal business activities. Yet he | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
was elected as the MP for South Suffolk, to represent the people. | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
That should be his priority. It does sound as if there is something | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
personal underlying this? Not personal from my point of view. I am | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
involved in all sorts of activities throughout Suffolk and elsewhere. | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
Certainly, I do not see much of him at those activities if anything. It | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
is getting very messy, though, isn't it? Messy because everybody should | :14:18. | :14:30. | |
be abiding by the rules. If the rules had been strictly adhered do, | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
and much more balanced in their format, it did not need to be messy | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
at all. I think that, after the 30 odd years he would have been an MP, | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
we could have turned round, had a party for him and said thank you | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
very much. You have done a grand job, enjoy your retirement and | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
business interests. And a new young person would take his place to | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
revitalise the constituency. Why did you want somebody young? When | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
somebody with his experience and connections can do such a good job | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
for you? You say his experience and connections. Yes, a lot of | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
experience and connections. But I am not sure they are being used in the | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
right way. Is this to do with the fact you maybe disagree with him on | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
certain issues? And you want him to follow what everybody else in the | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
constituency says, other than his own mind? No, not just about that. I | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
would accept that his views on same`sex marriage differ | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
considerably from mine. As they did from a lot of other people in the | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
constituency. But you will understand that lots of other people | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
might feel differently from you and he may be representing those views? | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
I accept that. And that is all part of democracy. But when nobody has | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
actually asked you for your views, you start to think, has it not been | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
a little one`sided? Mr Hinton, thank you very much. You are welcome, | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
thank you. Our political reporter Andrew | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
Sinclair is here now. He says it is not personal. But it is getting | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
better and personal? yes, and out into the open. `` getting bitter. | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
The raw problems for the Labour Party, for example. And normally, | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
you have a private altercation, someone resigns and life goes on, | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
this is all in front of the media and will continue for the next few | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
days. Why is he so reluctant to answer his critics? he believes, | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
after 30 years as an MP, he should not have to defend himself. He | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
believes his record speaks for himself. He says he has been | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
re`elected on six occasions, with majorities, he has influence in | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
Parliament, and he organised one of his friends to speak to as. I find | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
him very helpful. I know lots of others find him that way. He goes | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
about his business quietly, does not shout about it, it helps people, and | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
if you look at his blog, you can see the amount of people supporting him | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
and saying thank you. Such is getting reaction within 24 hours, 48 | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
hours, being kept informed, which you cannot ask for more. And that | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
has always been the nub of the problem. He is always been quite | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
behind the scenes. Maybe they are now looking for someone different. | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
Thank you. We heard a lot about Frankel's first | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
foal last week. It was born in Ireland. But the trouble was the | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
owners didn't want her to be filmed. But now there's another one. This | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
time the foal was born in Newmarket. And the owners are very happy to | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
show her off. Jonathan Park is at the National Stud now. | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
It is a bit like a royal baby arriving, in racing circles, so much | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
excitement at the arrival of the first Frankel foals. There will be | :18:06. | :18:16. | |
around 130 born, but here at the National Stud, a glimpse of maybe as | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
that of the future. One of the most eagerly anticipated sites, the first | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
Frankel foal pictures just two days old. | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
We take it in our stride. With over 100 every year, it is just a relief | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
that they are born healthy and well. More than anything. Last week in | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
Ireland, the first was born, but the National Stud in Newmarket is the | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
first in Britain to announce its own special arrival, complete with white | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
blaze just like his father. With many born every year, few will carry | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
the same hope, expectation or even pressure than this as yet unnamed | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
foal. Unbeaten in his career... The greatest! We could wait long for | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
another horse of Frankel's class, which is why thousands are charged | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
every time he meets a new partner. There will never be another Frankel. | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
At first some filly like her to go in the same league as him, competing | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
group, consistently winning, it will be a better ask. But there is | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
nothing to suggest that she couldn't compete in the classic level. For | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
the next five months, the filly will stay close to her mother, which has | :19:48. | :19:55. | |
its own bloodline, and sold for a great sum. She could be a great | :19:56. | :20:04. | |
resource. But no guarantees? No, it is not an exact science. And up | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
against 130 family rivals when it starts racing. | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
Just beautiful. Not much more appealing than that. | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
Last year, the teenage golfer Charley Hull from Northamptonshire | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
took the ladies game by storm. She finished second five times in a row | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
on the European Tour and became the youngest player ever to take part in | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
the Solheim Cup. Since then, she's been winning awards and is learning | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
to live with being interviewed. And there are those photo shoots as | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
well. That's what she's been doing today at Woburn Golf Club. This from | :20:40. | :20:47. | |
our sports reporter James Burridge. The publisher quite likes the mean | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
and moody look. Do you enjoy having your picture taken? It's all right, | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
if it's a good picture. If it is bad, I'm like no. As calm in front | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
of the camera as she is on the first tee. After a whirlwhind 2013, the | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
golfing world cannot get enough of Charley Hull. The sport of golf is | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
changing. It has quite a stuffy image. Certainly to those who do not | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
play the game. I just think she is a great role model for golfers of all | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
ages. From the young to very old. We are pleased she is going to be on | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
the front cover. The notoriety thing, has it become easy to realise | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
more people know who you are? I was in Nando's the other day. Someone | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
was like, you are Charley Hull, the golfer. He was from Corby, I knew | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
the accent. I was like yes. How did the conversation go? I looked away | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
and carried on eating my chicken. Despite her success thrusting her | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
into the media spotlight, Charley is reassuringly normal. At 17, she has | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
a maturity beyond her years. Her father Dave still accompanies her on | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
the road. But he is happy to let her steer her own course. Charley has | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
always been the same. Nothing seemed to affect her. That is the main | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
thing. If it affected her, I would think ooh! But she is so good at | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
handling everything, she knows that golf is her profession. After that, | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
she is the same as everybody else. Do you see yourself as a role model? | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
I do not look at it like that. But probably to younger kids. At the | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
moment, I am still Charley who likes to play golf and go out with my | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
mates. I think of it like that still. This week, Charley and Dave | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
travel to New Zealand and then Australia. The start of a | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
three`month stint competing at some of the biggest tournaments. That | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
first victory can't be far away. She is great, isn't she? Yes! | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
The last time we had Sport Relief was in 2012. And in this region last | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
year, we raised more than ?1.6 million. A lot of that money stayed | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
here, and was shared between 270 different projects. Projects like | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
the Noah Enterprise in Luton. The charity works to help homeless | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
people across Bedfordshire. It's lunchtime at Noah Enterprises. | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
The homeless are drawn to the smell of home cooked food. Today it is | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
turkey. The busiest time of the day, for obvious reasons. The food we | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
serve is essential, very necessary. A primary need. It gives us the | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
opportunity to engage further. Find out people's needs, how they are | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
getting on. Anything we can help them with. A general purpose. | :23:36. | :23:44. | |
For 25 years, the charity has helped people with nowhere else to turn. | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
And in many cases, nowhere to live. Homelessness can strike anyone. The | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
head of welfare, Tim Archibald, knows that too well. It happened to | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
him. Within a year of starting to use drugs, I had lost my job, my | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
family, my home. Soul destroying is the one thing. I was sleeping in a | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
garden shed. I spent time sleeping on trains going in and out of | :24:13. | :24:21. | |
London. Even on park benches. Sport Relief has given money to | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
provide singing workshops. You would not think singing is high on the | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
priority list of someone with nowhere to live and little to eat. | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
But what it does for the self`esteem is immeasurable. It also provides a | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
distraction for those struggling with addictions. Kevin is one of | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
those helped. He has come out the other side. You meet new people. You | :24:43. | :24:52. | |
can start to trust again. It picks you back up and gives you something | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
to do, to look forward to. Meaning in your life. You feel wanted for a | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
change. Last winter was as cruel as they come. But they found shelter | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
for 75 people who might have perished otherwise. Sport Relief, | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
thanks to you, is helping to keep them alive. | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
Well done to everybody that helped raise so much money. Now for the | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
weather. A frosty and foggy start this | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
morning, but this beautiful scene of Unity College, Cambridge, just | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
before sunrise. Some brave students going out to practice football. And | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
ending with a four`day garden in Norfolk. A beautiful photograph, | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
thank you. Still misty and foggy across the region, remaining for | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
some all day, and a very cold day. Change is on the way. A weather | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
front marching across the country, and increasing wind will clear mist | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
and fog. It will also bring rain overnight. Any clear spells | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
overnight could mean cold temperatures. Cold enough for frost | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
and icy patches. As the night progresses, we increase the cloud | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
from the West, the wind freshening, the rain marching through. Patchy | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
rain I the end of the night in the West, temperatures expected to | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
recover to around three or four Celsius. Tomorrow's stars wet, | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
particularly in the eastern half, but getting brighter in the West | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
later. Rather cloudy, not heavy rain, quite patchy, but staying, | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
with a lot of cloud in the East impacting on temperatures. Five or | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
six Celsius, chilly across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, perhaps | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire. A chance of some showers behind, but | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
it looks mainly dry into the afternoon and evening. Looking | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
ahead, weather France for Thursday, and another for Friday. `` weather | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
France. Chillier than last week and stop chilly for Wednesday night, | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
possibly drier on Thursday. Outbreaks of rain pushing through. | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
Once the rain clears, a sharp frost, and the next weather front | :27:24. | :27:32. | |
not arriving until much later on Friday night, clearing on Saturday, | :27:33. | :27:35. | |
temperatures recovering for the weekend. | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
That is it for tonight. We will see you tomorrow night, same time, same | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
place, goodbye. Goodbye. | :27:45. | :27:48. |
