Welcome to the programme. A year for the

Welcome to the programme. A year for every year of this teenager's life.

:00:13.:00:16.

Edward Redman is told he will spend at least 17 years in behind bars for

abuse claims sacks six more staff. What does Ed Miliband have to say

:00:32.:00:35.

about Europe? The Labour Party come to Cambridge.

:00:36.:00:40.

And are not many people left who lived through the First World War.

:00:41.:00:43.

We celebrate with two women who have just turned 106.

:00:44.:00:59.

The Braintree care home at the centre of a BBC investigation

:01:00.:01:03.

alleging abuse and neglect has today sacked six more staff. Essex Police

:01:04.:01:06.

has also launched an investigation after the Panorama programme last

:01:07.:01:09.

night. But care workers fear it could give the whole industry a bad

:01:10.:01:24.

reputation. As far removed from compassion as

:01:25.:01:28.

possible. The care assistant slaps an elderly resident. This sort of

:01:29.:01:36.

behaviour has deeply distressed residents and their families. The

:01:37.:01:42.

company that runs the care home says it is working with police. They said

:01:43.:01:47.

we apologise unreservedly for the feelings. We have today dismissed

:01:48.:01:54.

six more staff. The company behind the care home employing nearly 200

:01:55.:02:02.

staff. Last year the tongue over ?6 billion, making a pre`tax profit of

:02:03.:02:09.

?1 million. The man behind the company is a local businessman who

:02:10.:02:12.

owns a string of other companies. Many care homes are of course very

:02:13.:02:16.

well run. This one in Suffolk appears to have got it right. All of

:02:17.:02:24.

the residents I spoke to were happy. It is beautiful. We can walk around

:02:25.:02:33.

whenever we want. They do very well. We are spoiled. We would not do

:02:34.:02:41.

without each other. The staff are lovely. But these care workers feel

:02:42.:02:48.

that the pro`behaviour of the few taint the rest. `` poor behaviour.

:02:49.:02:59.

It makes everybody very suspicious and it brings them down on a daily

:03:00.:03:11.

basis. Qualified skill staff would like to do extra. People have

:03:12.:03:16.

empathy. The training focuses to bring empathy out of chaos. That is

:03:17.:03:22.

what is needed. Essex County Council says it has a telephone line for

:03:23.:03:33.

people who want to whistle`blower. Police have arrested a care worker

:03:34.:03:36.

after the death of an elderly woman at a nursing home in Norwich. They

:03:37.:03:40.

were called to the Heathcote Home in Unthank Road last night. The care

:03:41.:03:44.

worker, who's in her 50s, is being questioned. Police are waiting for

:03:45.:03:47.

the results of a postmortem on the woman, who was in her 80s.

:03:48.:03:55.

17 years behind bars for the teenage killer who stabbed a boy at a party

:03:56.:03:59.

"simply because he stood up for a friend". Jay Whiston was murdered at

:04:00.:04:03.

a house party in Colchester in 2012. The hunt for his killer led to one

:04:04.:04:06.

of the biggest police investigations ever carried out in Essex. Today,

:04:07.:04:10.

Edward Redman was jailed for a minimum of 17 years. He was told

:04:11.:04:13.

"the effect of your savagery will stay with Jay's family forever". It

:04:14.:04:23.

was the day that Jay Whiston's family and friends had waited for.

:04:24.:04:27.

The day that his killer was sentenced. There were so many of his

:04:28.:04:33.

friends and family in court that some had to stand. His mother read a

:04:34.:04:39.

statement about the impact and she said she had been through the

:04:40.:04:43.

unthinkable and unbeatable. Jay Whiston was 17 and in 2012 he went

:04:44.:04:48.

to a house party in this affluent part of how Colchester. Edward

:04:49.:04:54.

Redman stabbed Jay Whiston through the heart. Last week he was

:04:55.:05:02.

convinced convert affected of murder. Passing sentence, the judge

:05:03.:05:06.

said... I think the teenagers in Colchester

:05:07.:05:23.

can be a shoe of the sentences. Edward Redman has received 17 years

:05:24.:05:28.

as a minimum. I hope that it will provide a clear message to those who

:05:29.:05:35.

want to carry knives. This CCTV picture shows Edward Redman on the

:05:36.:05:38.

way to the party. Afterwards members of his family covered up for him.

:05:39.:05:43.

They were also sentenced today for conspiracy to pervert the course of

:05:44.:05:49.

justice. His brother was given two years as well as his father. His

:05:50.:05:56.

ex`girlfriend got nine months. Not one word from the parents or his

:05:57.:06:02.

family. Nothing. It just shows you what we have to live with. Edward

:06:03.:06:08.

Redman had so many previous convictions it took several minutes

:06:09.:06:12.

to read them out in court. He is now a convicted killer. But Jay

:06:13.:06:16.

Whiston's mother says that he could never kill Hurlock for her son. ``

:06:17.:06:26.

her love for her son. Caroline Shearer, Jay Whiston's

:06:27.:06:28.

mother, is outside Chelmsford Crown Court now. Do you come away from

:06:29.:06:37.

today with any sense of justice? I do not think there will ever be

:06:38.:06:42.

justice, knowing that their parents can see them at Christmas and

:06:43.:06:47.

birthdays and they will be living a life... No justice. I see behind you

:06:48.:06:57.

you have members of your family with T`shirts on. Following Jay's murder,

:06:58.:07:02.

you started the campaign 'Only Cowards Carry' ` how has that been

:07:03.:07:13.

received by young people? We have spoken to over 20,000 children and

:07:14.:07:16.

we have not had any negative feedback. We are always open to

:07:17.:07:24.

advice. The schools are coming out of our ears. A lot of people are

:07:25.:07:33.

taking up the campaign then. What's shocked you the most about what

:07:34.:07:40.

you've discovered? It has shocked me that there has never been anything

:07:41.:07:45.

on the national curriculum about weapons and awareness. We are

:07:46.:07:50.

teaching primary school children about sex education but then they go

:07:51.:07:53.

onto drugs awareness and internet bullying. Nothing about weapons. We

:07:54.:08:02.

know buy the statistics that we have, because we give questionnaires

:08:03.:08:08.

to the children, it is anonymous, but we know by the feedback how many

:08:09.:08:12.

children do and have carried with him. `` carried weapons. In one

:08:13.:08:22.

school, 67% of children had carried a weapon. That is shocking. Two

:08:23.:08:33.

thoughts. `` Two thirds. And obviously you're hopeful that lives

:08:34.:08:36.

can be saved and Jay's murder may stop people carrying knives? We know

:08:37.:08:39.

for the fact that have been some close shaves. We know we are getting

:08:40.:08:48.

out there. It is just common sense. But it is common sense that no

:08:49.:08:52.

parent should have to know about. Unfortunately, in this day and age,

:08:53.:08:56.

we are having to so that we can all stay safe. Thank you for speaking to

:08:57.:09:10.

us. Thank you so much. An investigation into a train crash

:09:11.:09:13.

at Norwich Station last summer has concluded the driver may have fallen

:09:14.:09:16.

asleep. Eight people were taken to hospital when the late night service

:09:17.:09:19.

from Great Yarmouth ran into an empty train. The driver had been

:09:20.:09:22.

involved in 14 previous incidents since 1989. He's been taken off

:09:23.:09:28.

driving duties. Graham Gooch has been dismissed from

:09:29.:09:32.

his job as England batting coach. The former England and Essex cricket

:09:33.:09:35.

captain was told by current skipper Alastair Cook that he "was in favour

:09:36.:09:38.

of a change" after a difficult winter which saw the team surrender

:09:39.:09:42.

the Ashes 5`0. Gooch joined the coaching set`up in 2009 and has

:09:43.:09:45.

worked with Cook since he was 17. A Norfolk software company has

:09:46.:09:48.

developed an app which provides detailed information about the sea

:09:49.:09:51.

bed, including the location of shipwrecks. The app is called

:09:52.:09:54.

E`Chart and will be used by divers, fisherman and the offshore wind

:09:55.:09:57.

industry. It's been produced by Norcom Technology, with the help of

:09:58.:10:00.

a ?20,000 grant from a European innovation fund.

:10:01.:10:03.

The survey vessel Opal leaves Lowestoft harbour and heads for the

:10:04.:10:07.

sea. On board is Phil Harris from the software developers Norcom

:10:08.:10:13.

Technology. And this is E`Chart. It's been called the sea bed version

:10:14.:10:17.

of Google Maps. Each little flag represents a shipwreck. If someone

:10:18.:10:22.

wants to go and put something on the sea bed, such as a wind farm, or

:10:23.:10:26.

they want to lay a telephone cable or power cable, the last thing they

:10:27.:10:30.

want to do is actually lay it over a wreck. So the idea is that they can

:10:31.:10:35.

identify what the potential risk is, and the potential hazard is, before

:10:36.:10:37.

they undertake any marine construction. Dating back to the

:10:38.:10:43.

First and Second World Wars, there are some 20,000 shipwrecks off the

:10:44.:10:48.

coast of the UK. This is a wreck off the north Norfolk coast. Back at

:10:49.:10:52.

Lowestoft, and very close to the shore, a wreck and a shoal of fish

:10:53.:10:56.

around it are showing up on the echo sounder. You'll see fish all around

:10:57.:11:06.

the wreck. Either side. If it's a fairly big wreck you'll see a slight

:11:07.:11:09.

change. It's an old trawler, requisitioned by the Navy, which hit

:11:10.:11:13.

a mine during the First World War. It was sunk on the 21st of November

:11:14.:11:20.

1914. The ship was called HMS Spider. Norcom Technology were given

:11:21.:11:25.

?20,000 of European development money from something called the

:11:26.:11:32.

Score Programme. I think a lot of people see private grand funding as

:11:33.:11:36.

quite difficult. It often puts them off. But what we're trying to do

:11:37.:11:39.

with the Score Programme is work with them on their project plans and

:11:40.:11:43.

get them to a position where they're ready to apply. Hopefully they'll be

:11:44.:11:46.

more successful in their applications. E`Chart is available

:11:47.:11:52.

to download at a starting price of ?90 ` more for companies requiring

:11:53.:11:54.

more detailed information. Still to come on the programme

:11:55.:12:18.

tonight: Alex will be here with an early heads up on the bank holiday

:12:19.:12:20.

weather. And there aren't many people left

:12:21.:12:23.

who lived through the First World War. We celebrate with Cynthia and

:12:24.:12:25.

Eileen, who've both turned 106! Ed Miliband has been in Cambridge

:12:26.:12:39.

today to launch his party's European Election campaign. We'll be hearing

:12:40.:12:43.

from the Labour leader in just a moment. We go to the polls in two

:12:44.:12:47.

weeks, and most of the region is in the eastern constituency. There are

:12:48.:12:51.

seven seats up for grabs. As you can see, last time round Labour came

:12:52.:12:54.

joint bottom of the poll. Our political correspondent Andrew

:12:55.:12:58.

Sinclair was at today's launch. Hello! The Labour leader is enjoying

:12:59.:13:14.

himself at the moment. This afternoon, a leisurely walkabout in

:13:15.:13:17.

the city of Cambridge. Plenty of people wanted to meet him. All the

:13:18.:13:21.

comments were friendly, if a little insensitive! I've met your brother!

:13:22.:13:25.

And there were plenty of photo opportunities. Earlier, in someone's

:13:26.:13:31.

home, a chance to talk about his new policy to crack down on landlords

:13:32.:13:36.

who charge high rents. Critics point out that Labour is talking a lot

:13:37.:13:39.

about the cost of living, even though it isn't a European issue.

:13:40.:13:47.

But Labour is a pro`European party. Its one MEP for the east of England

:13:48.:13:50.

has been on the doorsteps, talking about the benefits of European

:13:51.:13:57.

membership. I'm proud of the investment. Many millions. Money for

:13:58.:14:09.

disabled people, women going back to work, others to improve their job

:14:10.:14:15.

prospects. That doesn't get talked about but it's what I do as a Labour

:14:16.:14:20.

MEP. The last Euro elections were in 2009. Labour was very unpopular. But

:14:21.:14:33.

since then Labour has rebuilt its base in towns like Great Yarmouth,

:14:34.:14:38.

Norwich and Cambridge. But could its success be dented by this lot? UKIP

:14:39.:14:42.

has, on the whole, been taking supporters from the Conservatives.

:14:43.:14:46.

But increasingly, Labour campaigners are telling me they're noticing the

:14:47.:14:48.

anti`immigration and establishment message is playing well in poor,

:14:49.:14:56.

working class areas. That's probably why Mr Miliband has started to talk

:14:57.:15:04.

tough about immigration. He needs to do well in the east and he doesn't

:15:05.:15:08.

want his success derailed by another party.

:15:09.:15:16.

I spoke to Ed Miliband in the last hour. I put that point to him that

:15:17.:15:23.

the party's thunder was being stolen by UKIP. We are fighting a very

:15:24.:15:33.

positive campaign about what I think is the biggest issue a country

:15:34.:15:39.

faces, the cost of living crisis. We are talking about freezing energy

:15:40.:15:42.

bills and making a difference about what I think is a massive issue. We

:15:43.:15:47.

are seeing something very important to date which is that if you are a

:15:48.:15:53.

tenant in the private sector, we are going after agents for charging new

:15:54.:16:01.

fees. `` you fees. I think that shows that Labour is the one party

:16:02.:16:04.

in these elections talking about the biggest issues. You do talk about

:16:05.:16:12.

the cost of living, it is important, but these are the European

:16:13.:16:16.

elections. We are not hearing much about Europe. Is that because you

:16:17.:16:21.

know that your view on Europe is not very popular? I think it is very

:16:22.:16:27.

relevant to the cost of living crisis. For example, people have to

:16:28.:16:33.

make sure that when they come to Britain, we do not find that migrant

:16:34.:16:41.

workers here are exploited. That is why we have clear proposals on

:16:42.:16:44.

agency work and were we enforce the minimum wage. `` that we enforce. We

:16:45.:16:52.

want to tackle the living crisis here at home but also in the

:16:53.:16:58.

European Union. Europe, the local elections, it is central to our

:16:59.:17:06.

campaign. UKIP is speaking about Europe. At the top of the agenda. At

:17:07.:17:10.

the top of the voters agenda as well. 56,000 people came from Europe

:17:11.:17:17.

here since 2010. There are deep concerns about the infrastructure

:17:18.:17:21.

not being able to cope. We are not hearing about that. I have talked

:17:22.:17:26.

about that a lot since I became the leader of the Labour Party. I have

:17:27.:17:36.

said that I want to set a clear proposals. Many people are concerned

:17:37.:17:41.

that when people come here and they find that the wages are undercut, we

:17:42.:17:45.

are doing everything we can to stop that happening. I do not propose

:17:46.:17:52.

withdrawing from the European Union. The muscle many companies in this

:17:53.:17:57.

region who rely on it. It would cost jobs. This is a key region for

:17:58.:18:09.

Labour. You should be doing better in the polls at the moment if you

:18:10.:18:12.

are going to secure the seat you need? Norwich North for example. You

:18:13.:18:21.

are not actually addressing the issues that are resonating with the

:18:22.:18:28.

public. I do not agree but we will see what happens on me the 22nd and

:18:29.:18:35.

the general election. `` May the 22nd. Childcare is a massive issue

:18:36.:18:41.

and Labour is saying that 25 hours of free no silly education is

:18:42.:18:54.

important. `` free education. That is a clear proposal. Zero hours

:18:55.:19:01.

contract is another massive issue. It is labour that is saying if you

:19:02.:19:05.

are doing regular hours you should get a regular contract. But members

:19:06.:19:12.

of your own party are saying that you are not resonating with the

:19:13.:19:20.

voters. I don't agree with that. When I was in Cambridge today I have

:19:21.:19:24.

had lots of people coming up to me and saying the key with the agenda

:19:25.:19:33.

we are putting forward. `` they agree with the agenda. These are so

:19:34.:19:42.

important to the country. Thank you. And on tomorrow night's programme,

:19:43.:19:45.

Stewart will be talking to the UKIP leader Nigel Farage.

:19:46.:19:51.

Let me take you back to 1908. The Penny Post began, Henry Ford

:19:52.:19:54.

produced the first Model T and Hoover started making the vacuum

:19:55.:19:59.

cleaner. It was also the year that Cynthia Cook and Eileen Knevett were

:20:00.:20:05.

born. They're in the same nursing home in Essex and are among the last

:20:06.:20:09.

remaining people in the country to have lived through two World Wars.

:20:10.:20:12.

Today they celebrated their 106th birthdays.

:20:13.:20:19.

Two people from the same care home celebrating 106 years is remarkable.

:20:20.:20:24.

So are they. They have seen at all, from the First World War to the

:20:25.:20:33.

World Wide Web. Happy birthday. As a child, Eileen witnessed Zetland is

:20:34.:20:38.

on fire over London as the crew led to the crew led to their deaths.

:20:39.:20:44.

Moon landings, coronations of the Queen, John F. Kennedy. She likes

:20:45.:20:57.

bread and drippings. You used to have ten food that was out of date!

:20:58.:21:06.

`` tinned food. How she has reached 106 is beyond all of us. They are

:21:07.:21:12.

looked after by this care company in Clapton. Cynthia did not come here

:21:13.:21:22.

until she was 100. She has got four children, 12 grandchildren, 16

:21:23.:21:25.

great`grandchildren and to keep great`grandchildren. One more on the

:21:26.:21:36.

way. Her and her friend were going out with two men and the other one

:21:37.:21:43.

was going out with my father. They just happen to swap over! ``

:21:44.:21:56.

happened. People like Eileen and Cynthia are asked how the public so

:21:57.:22:02.

long. For Cynthia it is Guinness, Cherie and young men! For Eileen,

:22:03.:22:07.

all dancing and the occasional glass of champagne. `` ball dancing. ``

:22:08.:22:16.

sherry. I wonder whether the Fire Brigade

:22:17.:22:18.

was on stand`by! 212 candles! Time now for the weather. We have

:22:19.:22:36.

seen a lot of cloud around today. Also some showers. Were they have

:22:37.:22:45.

fallen, the showers, they merged together. The has been some heavy

:22:46.:22:53.

rain in Western counties. Still a few dotted around. Dry weather in

:22:54.:23:00.

between. They are gradually going to move southwards. A lot of the night

:23:01.:23:05.

is looking dry. Coming mistake with some cloud around. `` Turning misty.

:23:06.:23:13.

Temperatures are not expected to drop below seven or eight IDs. ``

:23:14.:23:22.

degrees. We have got high pressure building from the North. Luton model

:23:23.:23:29.

you will notice the difference. It will feel cooler. `` Through

:23:30.:23:41.

tomorrow you will notice. We start tomorrow with quite a lot of cloud

:23:42.:23:46.

around. Counties like Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. You can start to

:23:47.:23:55.

see the cloud shifting and baking. `` breaking. 11 or 12 Celsius. The

:23:56.:24:06.

afternoon looks largely dry. We should see some sunshine. This is

:24:07.:24:11.

the pressure pattern for the bank holiday. It means a dry forecast.

:24:12.:24:21.

That is good news. There will be some sunny spells, a bit of cloud

:24:22.:24:24.

around at times but also the other great thing is that it will start to

:24:25.:24:30.

warm up. Saturday, Sunday and beyond. On Monday temperatures

:24:31.:24:40.

claiming to 17. `` climbing. Tomorrow will be a cold night. Cold

:24:41.:24:48.

enough for a touch of ground frost. That will do. That is out. Have a

:24:49.:24:56.

great evening. Goodbye. `` That is it.
