Good evening, I'm Jenny Kirk. An inquest in Bury St Edmunds has been

:00:10.:00:14.

told that over a two`month period, the police had been called ten times

:00:15.:00:18.

to deal with a teenager who eventually hanged herself. The body

:00:19.:00:23.

of Becky Watkins was found `t the Evergreen Children's Home in Brandon

:00:24.:00:26.

five years ago. Ian Barmer was at the inquest.

:00:27.:00:32.

Becky was found hanged from a wardrobe door at Evergreen

:00:33.:00:38.

Children's Home in June, 2009. She was 16, from Braintree in Essex and

:00:39.:00:42.

the inquest painted a picture of short and troubled life, falily

:00:43.:00:48.

health and mental albums. Bdcky was on the Child Protection Reghster and

:00:49.:00:55.

in foster care. In 2007, shd made an allegation of a significant assault.

:00:56.:01:00.

In 2008, she took a paracet`mol overdose. She was sectioned under

:01:01.:01:06.

the Mental Health Act, and then she went to Evergreen Children's Home.

:01:07.:01:11.

There she told a friend that she was going to kill herself. She said she

:01:12.:01:15.

was exhausted at having to put it rave face on all the time. Hn the

:01:16.:01:20.

two month she was at Evergrden Children's Home, police werd called

:01:21.:01:24.

ten times to deal with her. He senior care assistant also gave

:01:25.:01:28.

evidence and said Becky had told a colleague she was going to kill

:01:29.:01:33.

herself in the next couple of days, two days before she did it. Charlene

:01:34.:01:38.

Carroll said she did not know about this and if she had, she wotld have

:01:39.:01:44.

told the night shift and Becky would not have been alone. Staff were

:01:45.:01:48.

checking on her every ten, 05 minutes and there is no suggestion

:01:49.:01:51.

staff were not doing their job Rob Lee on that night. But her plight

:01:52.:01:57.

was summed up by a witness who told the court that she was a girl who

:01:58.:02:00.

just did not see herself with a future.

:02:01.:02:05.

There is a month to go before the European Elections and the campaign

:02:06.:02:09.

has started to hot up. The Green Party came very close to winning a

:02:10.:02:13.

seat in the East last time `round, and today, the party launchdd its

:02:14.:02:16.

campaign. The Greens lead c`ndidate here is Dr Rupert Read, a Norfolk

:02:17.:02:20.

academic. At the 2009 Euro elections, he missed a seat by just

:02:21.:02:24.

1% of the vote. This time, he is standing again and needs to reach

:02:25.:02:27.

10% to gain a seat in Strasbourg. Well, the Green Party's leader is

:02:28.:02:31.

Natalie Bennett, and she johns me now. Let's look at some of the

:02:32.:02:34.

issues, coastal defences, flooding, erosion, people care a lot `bout

:02:35.:02:39.

that, what are you doing about it in Europe? We want to look at dach area

:02:40.:02:47.

on its own merits. We have ` situation where the sea levdl is

:02:48.:02:51.

rising and we need to act on climate change to reduce that effect. The

:02:52.:02:55.

South of England is sinking and we have to look at the effect of

:02:56.:02:59.

flooding water coming from the land, we will see increased rain. We have

:03:00.:03:04.

to plan to trees in the Open is because where water runs on a tree,

:03:05.:03:10.

64 more times water `` more water is absorbed. We have to look at this in

:03:11.:03:15.

a holistic way. The Colchester food bank, it you were discussing this

:03:16.:03:20.

tonight, how is what you discussed affecting what you are doing in

:03:21.:03:21.

Europe? What was fascinating `` it was fascinating and disturbhng that

:03:22.:03:31.

that 12 food and across Essdx and they helped more than 20,000 people

:03:32.:03:34.

will last year but in Colchdster, they had edited three times of food

:03:35.:03:39.

donated last year and they thought it was great `` they had 33 tonnes

:03:40.:03:47.

of food. But they badly need directions `` donations and I would

:03:48.:03:53.

ask for help. Today, the Brhtish government said the law was being

:03:54.:03:58.

changed to allow fracking companies to put pipelines under housds, how

:03:59.:04:05.

can you change that? This is about European elation. We the fotrth

:04:06.:04:10.

largest group in the Europe`n Parliament so we have a chance to

:04:11.:04:15.

make a difference and we can apply environmental legislation across

:04:16.:04:17.

Europe and we do not want any fracking. What about immigr`tion?

:04:18.:04:26.

The UKIP posters we have sedn in the last 12 hours of very disturbing.

:04:27.:04:33.

They are going to cause divhsion in British society and they ard

:04:34.:04:35.

factually wrong. We must sax that we need to welcome immigrants here and

:04:36.:04:40.

many British people choose to live in the rest of Europe. Nigel Farage

:04:41.:04:46.

says he thinks UKIP will win the European elections. I think they

:04:47.:04:49.

will do well because they are playing on fear. We want to offer

:04:50.:04:54.

the hope we can build a much better society, April society in which

:04:55.:05:02.

everybody meet their basic needs. A lot `` April society. Concern about

:05:03.:05:06.

immigration related to poverty, crowding, schools, NHS issuds, that

:05:07.:05:17.

is not caused by immigration. Our Railways and things not seen as a

:05:18.:05:23.

luxury in times of austeritx? I think those are policies th`t

:05:24.:05:27.

resonate with the British ptblic. Thank you very much.

:05:28.:05:32.

A man has been detained inddfinitely for killing his childhood friend in

:05:33.:05:35.

:06:10.:06:13.

Quayside in Essex has been damaged, seemingly by a load of bricks. The

:06:14.:06:17.

weight of the bricks being delivered by a ship caused a hole this

:06:18.:06:20.

afternoon. A forklift truck moving the bricks fell into the hole. It is

not believed that the driver was hurt.
