from BBC News. It is goodbye from me. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight: The mother | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
of a teenager rushed to hospital after a neknomination challenge | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
warns other families it could easily happen to you. People have died with | :00:10. | :00:24. | |
less alcohol in their systems. She's lucky. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Can a buyer be found for this troubled sheepskin firm which has | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
been trading since 1846? Actor John Hurt supports a project | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
to use cinema to help dementia. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
And professional facilities at last for our Olympic gymnasts ` no longer | :00:36. | :00:36. | |
left to train alongside toddlers. First tonight a warning to all | :00:37. | :00:52. | |
parents ` don't just assume your children won't take part in the | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
latest internet drinking craze. Dawn Lister's daughter Megan is 16. On | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
Sunday she was rushed to Southend Hospital with alcohol poisoning | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
after downing a bottle of vodka as part of a challenge in an online | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
game called neknomination. Her mother is speaking out to stop other | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
families experiencing what she's been through. Three young men are | :01:15. | :01:24. | |
taking part in the latest craze, called neknomination. Friends | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
challenge each other to film themselves drinking alcohol. Some | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
end up in hospital. They take it too far. Don Lister's teenage daughter | :01:36. | :01:45. | |
nearly died after drinking a bottle of vodka. `` Dawn Lister's. She | :01:46. | :01:57. | |
couldn't stand. She was shaking. Her eyes were going to the back of her | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
head. She was screaming. She was lucky. It could have turned any | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
other way. She could have died. People have died with less alcohol | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
in their systems. This could kill you. Blind you. Paralyse you. At | :02:12. | :02:24. | |
Southend Hospital, a consultant described how dangerous it can be. | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
The most common side effect of drinking alcohol is that it will | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
affect your conscious level. You could become unconscious. When that | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
happens you could effectively supplicate to death. It induces | :02:40. | :02:51. | |
vomiting. `` suffocate. They are playing roulette. Particularly if | :02:52. | :03:02. | |
they are drinking spirits. This boy died after drinking a concoction of | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
wine and spirits. Meanwhile, neknomination footage becomes more | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
and more outrageous. This woman rode a horse into a supermarket to reform | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
our challenge. She defended her actions as harmless fun. But there | :03:19. | :03:28. | |
is concern about the risks. `` perform her challenge. So what | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
motivates students to take part in neknomination? This afternoon I | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
spoke to Dr Tim Snelson, who lectures in media studies at the | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
University of East Anglia, and third year student Ollie Osborne. Dr | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
Snelson said social media wasn't the only issue to blame. There's a risk | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
of downplaying some issues ` seeing this as a social problem. If you | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
remove that from the equation, you resolve the problem... There's been | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
pressure on Facebook to remove the content. This is something that can | :04:00. | :04:10. | |
be problematic. You can't play down issues of bullying and binge | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
drinking. They're persistent issues. They need to be addressed. To | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
simplify it to social media can be a problem and can even amplify the | :04:23. | :04:33. | |
problem. Have you been neknominated? Would you do it? No. I don't feel | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
the pressure. It's down to being in those social groups. We've got to | :04:39. | :04:51. | |
remember it's your own choice. People don't fake it... You're often | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
on your own. There's no party going on. People don't actually have to | :04:57. | :05:07. | |
consume? I guess so. But there's an area around it. A discussion | :05:08. | :05:16. | |
happening offline. The aspect of moving from online to offline... | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
Social media is a big part of students lives. `` students' lives. | :05:23. | :05:34. | |
The boundaries are blurred. We might become digital by default. What | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
advice would you give a student? To use social media for what it's | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
intended to do ` to be an individual, to express who you | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
are... Rather than be pressured into things you don't think are about who | :05:56. | :06:05. | |
you are... Thank you. The Deputy Prime Minister, Nick | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
Clegg, has rejected claims by more than 40 Christian leaders ` | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
including the Bishop of Chelmsford ` that government cutbacks and | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
benefits failures have led to an increase in the number of people who | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
rely on food banks. Late this afternoon I spoke to the Bishop of | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
Chelmsford who joined this attack on the coalition and began by asking | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
whether the church should interfere in matters of politics. I don't | :06:25. | :06:33. | |
think it's kind of feeling. The church is one of the few | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
organisations which has a presence in literally every community. We | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
have a presence in every community. We have a good sense of what is | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
happening along the ground. Part of our responsibility is to hold up a | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
mother to the rest of society and say this is happening. The hard | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
truth is that there is a lot of hunger and poverty around. The Mid | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
Norfolk MP George Freeman has been defending the government this | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
afternoon ` this is what he said. If you look at the child family tax | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
credit, it's gone up under this government. If you look at | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
disability support, we're targeting the disability support on those who | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
most need it. I have constituents who come to my surgery ` disabled | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
constituents ` saying 'please stop giving money to those who don't | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
deserve it, give it to those of us who really do'. So, there are two | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
sides to this argument. I don't think it's as black and white. First | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
of all, I don't think any of the bishops say it is a black and white | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
issue. You have to make a distinction between what we have set | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
and how it has been reported. We have great sympathy for our | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
politicians. We know it is a difficult situation but we feel it | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
is our responsibility to say that if one of the functions of welfare is | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
to provide a safety net for the most pro`and our society then we have to | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
say that some people fallen through it. `` most poor. It is an | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
uncomfortable truth which cannot be ignored. This is an unprecedented | :08:13. | :08:24. | |
move. Now it is not. `` No it is not. We have a duty and | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
responsibility to speak for those who do not have a voice. We are | :08:31. | :08:39. | |
working for a united and cookies and society and we want life to be | :08:40. | :08:50. | |
fair. `` cohesive. This is the reality of the situation. Thank you. | :08:51. | :09:00. | |
A Suffolk firm which became world famous for making sheepskin coats | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
says it's hopeful of finding a buyer. Nursey of Bungay has been in | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
business for more than 200 years but in recent times has been making | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
losses. If it can't find a buyer the company will close next month. Tim | :09:12. | :09:20. | |
comes from a long line of people making hats, coats and slippers in | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
Bungay. But now this family firm has reached the end of the line. A photo | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
of Tim's father and grandfather outside the shop around the turn of | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
the last century. They made their first sheepskin coat in 1944. The | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
company ended its heyday in the 60s and 70s. When lots of young people, | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
ladies would get coats for their 21st... We were doing around 1,500 a | :09:48. | :09:57. | |
year. Wonderful days. A long time ago now. It was manic. Then it | :09:58. | :10:07. | |
tailed off. Now you find them on vintage websites and in shops. In | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
its heyday, they couldn't make enough coats. They had to ration | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
them to certain areas. David Jason wore a sheepskin as Del Boy in Only | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
Fools and Horses. But in the 90s they were going out of fashion. The | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
barbers came along... All sorts of things... It really isn't as cold as | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
it used to be. Currently, it's wet. It's great for other jackets. Staff | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
have been offered redundancy but Tim is still hopeful he can find a | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
buyer. He's had interest from at home and abroad but if a buyer can't | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
be found the business will close down next month. | :10:52. | :11:02. | |
A police officer from Essex has been sacked for having a relationship | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
with a vulnerable crime victim. The 45`year`old officer was based at | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
Colchester police station and hasn't been named. A disciplinary hearing | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
was told he'd met the woman through his work then tried to cover it up. | :11:12. | :11:22. | |
He's been dismissed without notice. People who were flooded in the tidal | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
surge before Christmas say they feel forgotten and vulnerable. The | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
Environment Agency were holding a drop in session in Snape in Suffolk | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
this afternoon where local people are trying to form their own flood | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
action group. We were on our own. We didn't see the emergency services. | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
Residents in Snape are frustrated. Today the Environment Agency held a | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
meeting to discuss concerns. It annoys me that all of this is going | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
on and everybody is complacent. The message we got wasn't very clear. As | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
a result we suffered the consequences. What Michu think they | :12:03. | :12:16. | |
are complacent? `` makes you think. They do nothing. There wasn't a | :12:17. | :12:25. | |
proper structure. In other communities, even though they are | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
slightly bigger, we could do something like they do. This cottage | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
was flooded at three in the morning. Her home has been gutted and she | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
will not be able to return until July. She thinks they need to be | :12:40. | :12:50. | |
more planning. `` there needs to be. To hear people saying they don't | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
have wellingtons and can't come across as quite scary. That was | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
police. We had to work incredibly hard to get any publicity and to get | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
anybody to listen. We went to the Environment Agency meeting to see if | :13:06. | :13:19. | |
we could get cancer is. Get answers. I'm not sure if a plan would have | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
made any difference. But lessons have to be learned. Sarah is hoping | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
to set up an action group to put in place a proper plan for the future. | :13:31. | :13:42. | |

The actor John Hurt launched a ?50,000 appeal today to help create | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
a screen heritage centre in Norwich. Mr Hurt is patron of the film | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
education charity behind the ?660,000 project. It is hoped that | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
people with a disability and others living with dementia will | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
particularly benefit. Cinema City in the centre of Norwich was founded in | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
the late 1970s ` the first regional film theatre in the country. Seven | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
years ago, after a major rebuild, it re`opened as a state of the art, | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
three screen cinema. Alongside its commercial operations, there's the | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
film education charity Cinema Plus. Currently, these rickety stairs are | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
the only way to get to the top of the building, where they have big | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
plans! We want to turn this floor into what we'll call the Screen | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
Heritage Centre. They have planning permission, listed buildings consent | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
` now they must raise ?50,000 to unlock support from the Heritage | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
Lottery Fund. The first thing we want to do is make sure this space | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
is accessible to every member of the public. At the moment the disabled | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
can't come to this first floor. The plan is to make sure it's completely | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
accessible, and attract more audiences to this floor, and the | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
activity of Cinema City. A new entrance, via the courtyard, and a | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
lift to the first floor will open up the space to all. Pictures of old | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
cinemas and theatres ` like the Norwich Hippodrome, demolished in | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
the 60s to make way for a multistorey car park ` can trigger | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
memories in those who live with dementia. People have all sorts of | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
memories of going to the pictures. It's powerful. Being able to work | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
with people with dementia, and using film, is great. 22`year`old Ruth | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
loves cinema. I don't have a disability but I need support with | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
other things. What excites you about cinema and the images you see? I get | :15:58. | :16:06. | |
really excited. I've got an interactive brain so I can dream of | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
anything I want. It takes me to a different world. Early next month | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
they'll hear whether they're to receive a ?500,000 grant from the | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
Heritage Lottery Fund. If all goes well, the new centre could open its | :16:20. | :16:36. | |
doors this time next year. I spoke to John Hurt, who is supporting the | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
campaign. It's opening up an understanding of the language of | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
film. It's a very specific language and it's still quite young ` only | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
100 years old. It's inextricably part of our lives now. I don't think | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
we could survive without cinema of some sort. It's such an evocative | :16:53. | :17:05. | |
art form. I know they want to help people with dementia because it can | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
evoke such memories? This is true. It's hugely helpful. Do you look | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
back at your childhood and remember getting interested in film? Did it | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
inspire you to become an actor? It did! I go back to comedies... Alec | :17:25. | :17:35. | |
Guinness. I said that to somebody the other day and they asked who he | :17:36. | :17:46. | |
was! Help, I thought! It's those things that are so evocative. You | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
never lose them. You see film from a different perspective. When you | :17:54. | :18:03. | |
watch, do you watch differently? I have a more critical eye. Sometimes | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
I wish I didn't know this or that, and could just sit and enjoy. On the | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
other hand, it's also what I'm arguing. One should have a critical | :18:16. | :18:28. | |
faculty. The same way you do with literature. You can read a book and | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
nobody finds it difficult to describe why they like a certain | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
writer. We should talk about film that way. Everyone can be a | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
film`maker now. We all have our own gadgets. People look at things in | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
different ways ` through their phone... All the more reason for | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
education. You don't want to have a flood of not very good films. It | :18:52. | :19:01. | |
worries me. We had a very strong voice before the First World War. | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
That's when film was young. We became kind of second to America. | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
Their voice is different from ours. It's taken us a long time to get | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
back to an appreciation of our own society. I'm supporting this because | :19:18. | :19:28. | |
any support you can give that helps that voice to be heard properly | :19:29. | :19:45. | |
again is essential. John Hurt talking to me earlier. | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
Huntingdon Gymnastic Club is celebrating the opening of its new | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
extension today. It's cost almost ?1.5 million. The Gymnastics Club | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
launched the careers of Olympic medallists Louis Smith and Daniel | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
Keatings and it's hoped this new extension will increase our chances | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
of producing more elite athletes. Our reporter Ben Bland is there now. | :20:05. | :20:13. | |
We often hear about the Olympic legacy. This is what it looks like. | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
It is a brand`new hall at Huntingdon Gymnastic Club. They are training | :20:18. | :20:26. | |
young gymnasts. We may well see them performing sometime in the future. | :20:27. | :20:35. | |
An impressive display. They were performing under pressure. In the | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
audience were two world`class gymnast. `` gymnasts. I remember | :20:38. | :20:51. | |
coming into the building one day. It was finally happening. It is great | :20:52. | :21:03. | |
to see this. Louis Smith performed his Olympic routine. He still trains | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
here. He has been since he was six years old. Sir John Major was also | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
there and he did the official honours. I remember opening the | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
official gymnasium 23 years ago. All that has happened in between, with | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
Louis Smith and so one... It is a fantastic sport. `` so on... The | :21:26. | :21:36. | |
refurbishment has cost almost ?1.5 million. This young boy slept in a | :21:37. | :21:46. | |
tent in his garden for almost a year to respond just shut. It is worth | :21:47. | :21:56. | |
it. `` raise sponsorship. It is fun to use it. He hopes that one day he | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
will perform at the level of people like Dan Keatings. We had the gym | :22:05. | :22:12. | |
and it showed what level we could get it. With this one then you don't | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
know what level anybody could get to. The more talent that comes | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
through, they could reach even better levels. The club now has 900 | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
members. Up from 500 before the members. Up from 500 before the | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
London Olympics. They know that space for even more to join. We can | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
be more easily. We have more space. Louis Smith was having to do his | :22:38. | :22:39. | |
routines with toddlers running around. We can now have a good | :22:40. | :22:47. | |
programme will not shrink elite talent. `` while nurturing our elite | :22:48. | :22:58. | |
talent. We even spotted a possible future champion taking her first | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
steps! They are back at work now. The classes have started. Let's | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
speak to one of the cultures. `` the coaches. These guys have now got | :23:13. | :23:23. | |
more space to push themselves. We are now able to push them on. We are | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
able to see their potential. In times gone by, we have been clamped | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
into one whole but no longer. `` cramped. `` hall. Some people have | :23:36. | :23:45. | |
asked me to take a go myself but I have the excuse... I don't have my | :23:46. | :24:02. | |
gym kit! Harry looks like a star of the future. | :24:03. | :24:11. | |
Now for the weather. It has been the wettest winter on record. Over the | :24:12. | :24:23. | |
next week, we will be seeing more rain. There was a lot of cloud and | :24:24. | :24:32. | |
