inspired by Britain's former number one. 16 days until the elections and | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
most young people probably won't bother to vote. We ask them why. | :00:39. | :00:48. | |
There is a lot of broken promises. I feel as if it will just be me | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
voting. I feel like my vote will make any sort of difference. And I | :00:53. | :01:00. | |

today as she paid a Royal visit to commemorate the centenary of the | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
diocese. The Bishop told her "The Only Way Is Essex", as he extolled | :01:16. | :01:20. | |

today. There must have been a lot of preparations. Another Mac all | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
goodness me, you have never seen anything like it. There is a | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
anything like it. There is ` fantastic buzz about the place. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
Finally, the moment they had been waiting for. The Queen and the Duke | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
of Edinburgh made their way to the cathedral plus Pack West door. | :02:54. | :03:02. | |
Pasternak `` the cathedrals West door. The Bishop joked that "the | :03:03. | :03:18. | |
only way is Essex" . The diocese is the second largest in the country | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
and so 100 years ago it was part of somebody else's even larger diocese. | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
After the service, the Queen emerged to be greeted by hundreds of | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
well`wishers. And for the King family, waiting since 6am this | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
morning, their patience was rewarded. She smiled at us and said | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
rewarded. She smiled at us `nd said it was very kind when we get ready | :03:43. | :03:48. | |

her diamond jubilee year. Today, the her diamond jubilee year. Today the | :03:50. | :03:59. | |
people of the city said thank you. Tributes have continued to pour in | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
today for the Suffolk tennis star Elena Baltacha, who died at the | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
weekend from liver cancer at the age of 30. Judy Murray said she was "an | :04:07. | :04:10. | |

months and years. Allow's p`ssing months and years. Allow's passing | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
has been a huge shock to so many people here. I have been lucky | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
enough to know her first five years now. She was a huge warrior on the | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
court of and a friend to so many of it. | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
She was one of life 's fighters. Bally knew no other way. Ipswich has | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
been Elena Baltacha's home since the late 80s. It is where her ldgacy | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
late 80s. It is where her legacy will be seen in action. Herd, at her | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
will be seen in action. Here, at her Academy. I will never forget the | :05:15. | :05:23. | |
day... She was obviously very ill, and she still took the time out to | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
ring my doctor, to see how she got on in her competition. She | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
represented Suffolk. Yeah, that was Bally all over. Just such an | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
inspirational person. Nino Severino wanted to get the girls and boys | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
onto the stage, and Elena Baltacha onto the stage, and Elena B`ltacha | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
too, that was her life was like work. Newell and the other coaches. | :05:52. | :06:02. | |
Many will remember Elena Baltacha the competitor. But develophng the | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
the competitor. But developing the next generation was her new project, | :06:07. | :06:28. | |
her passion. We did 13 recognition mark `` I want to give back to | :06:29. | :06:30. | |

future. Following Baltacha onto was both entertaining and affecting | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
Every game mattered. The fact that she did this for 16 years whilst | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
battling serious injury and a chronic liver condition is a | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
testament to her character, conviction, and commitment. So where | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
does healing at's death leave the Academy project that she started? | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
Academy project that she st`rted? Well the big focus for the Academy | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
Well the big focus for the @cademy and the Baltacha family is this | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
rally that is taking place on June 15 in the run`up to Wimbledon the | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
summer. It is the mixed doubles exhibition match. It will feature | :07:21. | :07:25. | |

amount of money can be raised. It was only a few months ago that I | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
spoke to her about her retirement and she seemed so positive `bout her | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
and she seemed so positive about her retirement. This all seems to have | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
happened with shocking speed. Yes, she retired this year. She larried | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
she retired this year. She married in December. She was diagnosed with | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
liver cancer in March. She kept fighting. She knew no other way She | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
battled with such passion. She was the complete warrior on the tennis | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
court, and I think people are now starting to realise just how much | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
she was taking on privately. I think this liver condition was such a | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
hurdle for her to overcome. She had such fantastic support from those | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
around her. And for her to achieve around her. And for her to `chieve | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
what she did achieve, those were incredible achievements, and ones | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
which will be remembered with huge fondness here in Ipswich. | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
Absolutely. Thank you very luch The investigation into the murder of | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
Una Crown in her own home is being re`launched with a new team of | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
detectives. The 86`year`old was found dead in Wisbech in January | :08:42. | :08:44. | |

last year. She'd been repeatedly stabbed and then set on fird in an | :08:47. | :08:46. | |
stabbed and then set on fire in an attempt to destroy evidence. Her | :08:47. | :08:54. | |
killer has never been caught. Over the last few weeks we've talked | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
a lot about the European eldctions but there is another campaign also | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
underway. Local elections are being held in 20 authorities in the region | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
` here they all are ` anywhdre coloured blue or red is under | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
coloured blue or red is unddr Conservative or Labour control. Grey | :09:07. | :09:07. | |
means no one party has overall means no one party has over`ll | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
control. One of the most interesting battles is in Great Yarmouth where | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
Labour has a majority of just one seat. Our political Correspondent | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
Andrew Sinclair reports. Along the great Yarmouth se`front, | :09:17. | :09:17. | |
Along the great Yarmouth seafront, there is no shortage of places | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
offering the chance to strike it lucky. Which is what the local | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
council here needs to do. For several years now, the authority has | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
received some of the lowest grants in the country from the govdrnment. | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
It has to find ?10 million of savings over three years. | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
It is just not fair funding, basically. So yeah, we do think we | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
have been dealt a bad hand. But why can't you be more efficient? | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
Other councils seem to manage. We are being more efficient but you | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
have got to bear in mind th`t We are being more efficient but you | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
have got to bear in mind that we have got to bear in mind th`t we | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
have taken the biggest hit hn the United Kingdom. Other councils have | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
actually had percentage increases and we have had a cut of 44$. | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
Labour is making this the main issue in the local election. And what | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
makes it more noteworthy is that the minister who has cut Yarmouth 's | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
grants is the local MP Brandon Lewis. The Conservatives who used to | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
run this authority said the funding formula was altered by the last | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
Labour government. Mr Lewis has found extra money to help the | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
council they say but in turn it needs to be more efficient. | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
We have a chief executive officer on a chief executive officer on | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
?110,000 per year. Why? We could share that office with another | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
council and halve that bill. We could halve the cost of the senior | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
council officers, which would save in the region of ?250,000 per year, | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
and then we could look at other services where we can share those | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
services. Here at the town Hall, all the seats | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
are held by either the Conservatives or the Labour Party, and at the | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
moment Labour has a majoritx or the Labour Party, and at the | :10:39. | :10:39. | |
moment Labour has a majority of one. moment Labour has a majoritx of one. | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
So you might expect the seldction to be a straightforward, two`horse | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
race, but there is a third party that is threatening to upset the | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
apple cart. In last year's county council elections, UKIP won five | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
seats here and came second hn four others. The party says the lack of | :10:53. | :11:00. | |
decent housing is also a big issue, and voters are looking for something | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
different. We are not professional polhticians. | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
Don't expect a polished performance from many of our guys, because we | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
from many of our guys, becatse we are members of the community | :11:10. | :11:10. | |
from many of our guys, because we are members of the communitx that | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
have taken it upon ourselves to put us in front of the electorate, to | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
try and resolve those issues that have perhaps been party polhtical. | :11:17. | :11:18. | |
have perhaps been party political. The Liberal Democrats are not | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
fielding a single candidate in Great Yarmouth this year, so the Greens | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
are hoping that they will be able Yarmouth this year, so the Greens | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
are hoping that they will bd able to are hoping that they will be able to | :11:26. | :11:26. | |
replicate their success in nearby Norwich and start winning sdats here | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
as well. People are fed up with the same old | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
parties, and actually looking for a positive change in the community, | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
positive change in the commtnity, especially on a local level. And | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
actually wanting people to listen to them, and I think they are very much | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
tired of the very poor representation in their local areas. | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
If either of the smaller parties can stage a raid here, they could | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
dramatically affect the outcome of this election. But with so lany | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
financial pressures, whoever ends up running this authority could well | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
find it a rather lonely bushness. Andrew Sinclair, BBC Look East, | :11:56. | :11:56. | |
Great Yarmouth. Still to cole Andrew Sinclair, BBC Look E`st, | :11:57. | :12:12. | |
Great Yarmouth. Still to cole and look case tonight. The Essex school | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
praised for its top of the class performance. And we are getting | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
ready to greet the world's best women cyclists. | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
Well, as we've just heard, voters go to the polls in 16 days to elect new | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
to the polls in 16 days to dlect new local councillors. The outcome may | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
be uncertain in some areas, but there's one thing we can cotnt on: | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
the number of young people turning out to cast their vote is likely | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
the number of young people turning out to cast their vote is lhkely to | :12:37. | :12:37. | |
be very low. At the last general election almost | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
six out of ten voters aged tp At the last general election almost | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
six out of ten voters aged up to 24 six out of ten voters aged up to 24 | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
didn't bother voting. The fhgure at local elections is even lower than | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
that. So with so many policies affecting younger people like | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
tuition fees, housing and the minimum wage, why don't mord young | :12:51. | :12:51. | |
minimum wage, why don't more young people get involved? Tonight's | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
special report is from Dawn Gerber. Two young people. Passionate | :13:00. | :13:01. | |

got enough facilities. You've got a youth club here but I | :13:22. | :13:22. | |
You've got a youth club herd but I don't feel like it caters for say | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
the 15 to 18`year`olds. I just feel that there needs to be change. I | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
mean something for them to do. But Ipswich has seen changes. | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
Millions have been spent on the waterfront and there is a ndw | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
university drawing young people to the town. Like 21`year`old Dsther. | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
the town. Like 21`year`old Esther. She moved from London two ydars ago | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
to do a bioscience degree. As a university student, yot | :13:53. | :13:53. | |
to do a bioscience degree. As a university student, you feel | :13:54. | :13:53. | |
As a university student, yot feel quite separated from the community, | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
quite separated from the colmunity, and that the university is our | :13:56. | :13:56. | |
community. In the last local elections, around | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
one in three of under 24`year`olds voted. Compared to three qu`rters | :14:01. | :14:01. | |
one in three of under 24`ye`r`olds voted. Compared to three quarters of | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
over 65`year`olds. I think it is fair to say that if | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
you, in an election, decide to leave the decision to others, you can't | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
the decision to others, you can t then really complain afterwards when | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
their choice means an impact on you directly. | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
I think that schools and colleges could do more to engage us. To get | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
us to come in and talk to young people about what councils do. | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
So today we have brought Pablo and Esther together with a group of | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
young people to meet the guy who young people to meet the guy who | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
runs their counsel. But we want to know why they are unlikely to vote. | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
There are a lot of... I don't want to call it broken promises, but | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
there are a lot of broken promises. In my mind I would be thinkhng that | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
it is just me voting so then I am thinking that there might not be no | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
change anyway. I feel as though my fault isn't | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
going to make any sort of difference going to make any sort of dhfference | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
or the local electorates all take orders from their MPs in Parliament. | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
If politicians are looking `t making unpopular decisions, where cuts are | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
going to go, they will targdted to the people who don't vote, because | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
that won't affect their jobs. So if you don't want to be targeted by | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
you don't want to be targetdd by politicians, we know there are | :15:10. | :15:10. | |
you don't want to be targeted by politicians, we know there `re still | :15:11. | :15:11. | |
politicians, we know there are still cuts going to be coming, yot | :15:12. | :15:12. | |
politicians, we know there `re still cuts going to be coming, you need to | :15:13. | :15:13. | |
cuts going to be coming, yot need to go out and vote. | :15:14. | :15:14. | |

We don't necessarily feel lhke we We don't necessarily feel lhke we | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
are part of the Ipswich comlunity. We feel like we are our own separate | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
community. We are working closely with the | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
university to see what more we can do. | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
How would you how would you look to support young mums that are trying | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
to get careers and back into work, that are going out for interviews | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
and getting told, sorry, you're not flexible enough? | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
What we are looking to do is increase the amount of free | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
childcare that we would provide. childcare that we would provide. | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
We talked for an hour. But did it change anything? | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
I am definitely going to look into it, because if there is something | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
it, because if there is somdthing that affects me, to then not vote | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
about it, I think it will bd that affects me, to then not vote | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
about it, I think it will be quite about it, I think it will bd quite | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
silly. This campus will be used as a | :15:56. | :15:56. | |
polling station, giving thousands of polling station, giving thousands of | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
students a very local place to cast their votes. The question is, how | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
many will bother? Dawn Gerbdr, BBC Look East, Ipswich. | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
Well, we're staying with young people for a moment, becausd | :16:11. | :16:11. | |

for a remarkable turnaround in its performance. Not that long `go, the | :16:17. | :16:16. | |
performance. Not that long ago, the Burnt Mill Academy in Harlow | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
recorded very poor exam restlts Only one in four pupils was | :16:21. | :16:21. | |
achieving grades A to C in laths Only one in four pupils was | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
achieving grades A to C in maths and achieving grades A to C in maths and | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
English. But that's risen to 75 per cent per cent of all pupils. Today, | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
the Education Secretary Michael Gove went there himself to see how they | :16:32. | :16:41. | |
did it. No wonder the band was playhng. It | :16:42. | :16:42. | |
No wonder the band was playing. It was a big day at Burnt Mill Academy | :16:43. | :16:48. | |

visit as nationally teaching unions threaten more strike over p`y and | :16:58. | :16:58. | |
threaten more strike over pay and pensions. You're coming to ` school | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
where a lot of teachers are not very pleased to see you. I have generally | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
found that when I come to schools, the conversations I have with | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
teachers are friendly and constructive. There has been a bit | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
of industrial action in schools, yes, but the release tracking thing | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
is that the majority of teachers have gone to work, the majority of | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
unions want to work, and we are really lucky that the overwhelming | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
majority of teachers in our schools are doing a fantastic job. Teachers | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
say that they love their job, that the opportunity to spend time | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
say that they love their job, that the opportunity to spend tile with | :17:33. | :17:32. | |

give them the all traditions they need to succeed in life is the | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
privilege. They say they love their job, but they also say they need a | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
decent pension. I quite agrde job, but they also say they need a | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
decent pension. I quite agrde that teachers need a decent pension. | :17:47. | :17:48. | |

incomprehensible education `t its incomprehensible education at its | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
best. Burnt Mill Academy is the fourth most improved school in the | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
country. A few years ago, only a quarter of pupils used to get five | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
GCSEs at the top grades. Now it is three quarters. We have teachers who | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
are passionate about their subject, they are passionate about young | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
people, and they give above and beyond. There is so this myth that | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
incompetence of skills we don't work very long hours. My staff stay until | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
five 6pm most evenings. Somdtimes I five 6pm most evenings. Sometimes I | :18:23. | :18:26. | |

teaching strikes the summer. The Women's Cycling Tour of Britain, | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
the first international womdn's race of its kind, gets underway tomorrow | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
and it's being held entirely in our region. It has five stages held over | :18:47. | :18:49. | |

Northampton. Let's cross to Jonathan Park, who's at the starting point in | :19:01. | :19:09. | |
Oundle now. Welcome to Oundle. We are in East | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
Northamptonshire. About 15 linutes Northamptonshire. About 15 linutes | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
from Peterborough. You can't move for bikes. There is a good reason | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
for that, because it is a historic for that, because it is a hhstoric | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
market town, it has a bit of cycling history, and tomorrow we have the | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
first international race for women. There are about 2500 people here | :19:30. | :19:30. | |

people will be here for the big race itself. Setting alarm clock early | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
for tomorrow. Much to prepare for. It is good isn't it. It went up | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
really quickly, didn't it? Be started early, inflating, | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
instructing, and decorating this historic market town. Everywhere you | :19:55. | :19:56. | |

really looking forward to it. 2014 is a game changing gear for the | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
sport. The first of the womdn stayed in the 2`D France. This cyclists has | :20:48. | :20:57. | |
been part of the build`up. The Olympics in London was a very | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
exciting event. Those people said it was very exciting to watch. When | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
that gets through to broadcasters, they are going to want to ptt | :21:07. | :21:07. | |
they are going to want to put women's race is on. It is going to | :21:08. | :21:13. | |

indeed. I think it is very exciting. It is very nice countryside around | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
here, I think it lends itself very well to cycling, no big hills. It is | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
a first Oundle and a first for women's cycling. 96 riders starting | :21:39. | :21:41. | |

region. There are some shivdrs region. There are some shivdrs | :22:36. | :22:39. | |

could really be the odd heading one looking at our first chart tonight. | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
In terms of temperatures, it want get very cold. Overnight lows will | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
be in double figures, around ten or 11 Celsius. Wind coming from the | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
South West. That went is likely to pick up during the night. It will | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
turn a little bit breezy. The day in general tomorrow will be a little | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
windier. We kick off tomorrow with some sunshine around and sole | :23:11. | :23:12. | |

potential is there through the afternoon for those showers to turn | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
heavy. They will continue into the evening and overnight, but there | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
will be some drier spells in between. In terms of the forecast | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
and where it is going, it is certainly looking fairly unsettled | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
if we look at the pressure chart for the end of the week, we can see | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
there is another weather system coming in first Friday, which will | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
bring some rain. Let's have a look the Outlook. There is the not the | :24:09. | :24:11. | |

are back to sunshine and showers. Some of these showers could be | :24:23. | :24:26. | |

from seeing something done are from seeing something done are | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
broad, and seeing the trains moving around on a massive scale. Ht looked | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
fantastic, and I thought soleone should do it in the UK, it turned | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
out it was me. It is the largest collection of model real `` railways | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
in the UK. It took around 25,000 in the UK. It took around 24,00 | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
hours to create this attraction which has over 300 trains, 500 | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
buildings, and 4000 trees. They have created model cities inspirdd from | :26:26. | :26:26. | |
created model cities inspired from other countries such as Jap`n, | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
Germany and Switzerland. It is a real chance for | :26:32. | :26:55. | |
