But last year he was in court again fined ?600 for possession | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Until last season he as a co`promoter of the Mildenhall Fen | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
Michael Lee is still a big name in the sport. | :00:17. | :00:27. | |
And after the verdicts, I spoke to Michael Lee in our Ipswich newsroom. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
We couldn't talk about the accusations themselves for legal | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
reasons but I asked him how it felt to be cleared. | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
I can't explain. I am emotional at the end of it. It has been a long 15 | :00:42. | :00:53. | |
months and the last three weeks in particular and I have to start | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
putting my life back together. What impact has this had on your life? | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
Tremendous impact. These accusations are very unpleasant for anyone. I | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
fully understand if the facts are true but in this case they weren't. | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
I am now in a position where a lot has been taken away from me because | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
of the accusations and a long time to piece it all back together and my | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
work, my speedway, it has affected that. It would take a long time. | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
Awful for anyone to face such allegations but there has also been | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
more intense focus on you because of your successful speedway career. How | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
has it been, coping with that focus? Most unpleasant. Anyone in the | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
limelight a little bit will suffer these things. It is expected. As I | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
say, speedway is important to me, I need to get that back, back on | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
track, my business is obviously a big part of this is due to my legal | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
team. They have worked tirelessly to prove my innocence. And without | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
them, I would not be sitting here talking to you now. You have been | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
very frank about the other problems he faced in the past with drugs and | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
things. When did it all starts to go wrong because you were such a huge | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
success? Yeah, I had problems with drugs in the past. If I have done | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
something wrong, I do hold my hands up. The drug thing is a thing in the | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
past for me. It was in my younger days. This is a different kettle of | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
fish. And much more unpleasant. Yes, I can get over things from the past | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
quite easily but this will take me a little while to establish myself | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
again mentally, physically and just needs to start as soon as possible. | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
Next the battle between protestors and the nuclear | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
industry over a different kind of nuclear waste about to be pumped | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
They call it FED ` Fuel Element Debris. | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Over an 18 month period 150 tonnes of FED | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
will be processed and waste liquid will be pumped into the Blackwater | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
Estuary as Bradwell nuclear power station is decommissioned. | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
In a moment Alex Dunlop with what the nuclear industry has to say | :03:34. | :03:42. | |
but first Felicity Simper with the protestors. | :03:43. | :03:53. | |
100 or so protesters have gathered and it is all about the power | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
station over the river there. They are concerned about this discharge | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
being put out into the estuary. I've spent the day meeting people who | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
Robert Scott runs an organic skin care company. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
Less than a mile from the Estuary he grows the ingredients, | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
The purity and traceability of our products is key for us | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
as an ethical business really important ` it could well have an | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
impact ` concerns me as a parent, as a human being, as a business owner. | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
Long standing campaigners say there's no need to dissolved | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
It's an untried dissolution process . | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
And the long term effects can't be known . | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
We've asked for an independent assessment ` a lot of | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
public concerns ` best way to allay public fears to have an independent | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
assessment ` we also believe there should be a lot more public | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
Campaigners say the start of the discharges were delayed | :05:07. | :05:19. | |
But now it looks as though they're imminent bringing into question | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
In 2009 Magnox were taken to court but the environment agency stressed | :05:25. | :05:46. | |
there was no danger to the public. Joining me now is Nicola who | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
organised the protest. The main concerns are this has been sprung on | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
us, we knew nothing about it. There hasn't been proper consultation and | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
no independent assessment. The parish council did not know, | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
residents, different communities up and down have been completely in the | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
dark. OK, thank you. Protesters say they will continue to campaign, they | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
have set up a petition online saying they want some answers. | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
The views there of protestors close to the Blackwater estuary. | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
But of course once a nuclear power station closes down | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
Once the power stops, the clean up starts. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Alex Dunlop now on what decommissioning a power | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
This is how many picture nuclear generation. These magnesium alloy | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
cases like this, they surround the radioactive rods. The casing is | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
crushed and dissolved in acid and after extensive treatment, the | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
residual solid radioactive waste is stored on site. The resulting liquid | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
will be released into the estuary and it is the discharge which is | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
causing concern. The radioactive element in question is called | :07:10. | :07:18. | |
tritium. It is a version of hydrogen which is by far the most important | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
substance we are talking about. It is in the ocean, there are vast | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
amounts around. In reality, it is difficult to see how this could have | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
any negative effects on wildlife or human systems. Radioactive waste, | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
however small, is a toxic issue. One which protesters say could harm a | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
local industry. Every year, people celebrate the oyster season here. | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
They point to the abundance of local wildlife. The nuclear industry | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
points to the history of Bradwell. The reactor is situated in a shield | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
of concrete. Ever since these magnesium casings will put in place | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
in 1962, Magnox says regular discharges have been within agreed | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
safe limits. The environment agency seems relaxed saying the discharges | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
from the process will continue to be tightly controlled. | :08:22. | :08:34. | |
And if you've got a story to tell us about nuclear | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
power at either Bradwell or up the coast at Sizewell, | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
UKIP the UK Independence Party has taken its European Election campaign | :08:40. | :08:54. | |
to King's Lynn and Watton High Street today. | :08:55. | :09:07. | |
They claim young people cannot find a home. The younger generation are | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
missing out on the opportunity of getting a house while they are | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
young. The problem is immigration. There is too much competition for | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
housing, I am delighted to see we are doing so well in the polls and | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
that people may well hold with us at the general election and that news | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
will send shivers down the establishment. | :09:37. | :09:47. | |
The West Suffolk Hospital is under investigation by | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
the health watchdog Monitor because of a deficit which is expected to | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
It wants to find out why the trust failed to deliver | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
and overspent by around four million pounds last year. | :09:58. | :10:13. | |
The finest weather forecast of 2014 so far. And yes, the cup final at | :10:14. | :10:27. | |
Wembley on Saturday. We talk to the team hoping for a crucial win on | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
Sunday. Believe it or not, | :10:30. | :10:40. | |
it's nine years since the TV chef Jamie Oliver launched | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
his school dinners campaign exposing the amount of unhealthy food that | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
was being served to children. Now he's involved | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
in another project called Food Revolution Day to teach every child | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
about food and how to cook it. Gennaro Contaldo was born into an | :10:51. | :11:08. | |
Italian family where food was fundamental. He started cooking when | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
he was ten. At 65 he is more passionate than ever. He knows a | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
thing or two about knocking budding chefs into shape. They tell me you | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
taught Jamie Oliver everything he knows! Why do you love? The primary | :11:28. | :11:36. | |
school is small, 65 pupils but has big ambitions to cooking and | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
growing. A special classroom kitchen was opened five years ago used by | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
children from other local schools. Three course meals are the norm. | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
With Jamie Oliver?s backing, it is a flagship for others. You need it | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
when you are older. What is your favourite dish? Chicken pie. | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
Anything from different countries. What do you make of Gennaro | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
Contaldo? Funny. Epic. And cool. They have long been part of | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
something ground`breaking, today something truly global as the key | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
missing ingredient suddenly appeared. This TV linkup is being | :12:25. | :12:33. | |
seen around the world, a cook along for children in 100 countries. It is | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
lovely to see children who are not so confident and academic really | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
thriving in the kitchen. If you come back in five years time to Suffolk, | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
what do you hope would be the legacy? Yes, I would like to CDs | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
small children here today becoming a chef, sit down, shut up and let me | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
cook for you and I'll be the happiest man. The reality is we have | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
lost touch with the basics and as guardians of this generation, it is | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
essential we show them what they are missing when it comes to having fun. | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
Funny, epic and cool. It was spot a yawn. Things do get tiring. They | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
looked like they were having a lot of fun. | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
The polls all show that the level of immigration is high on a list | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
The parties in next week's European and local elections have been | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
putting forward their own policies on the issue. | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
But what do the official statistics show and how has the population | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
Our chief reporter Kim Riley has been looking at the figures. | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
First of all this was the shape of the European Union | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
In 2004 it saw a huge expansion 10 new countries joined including | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
the Czech Republic, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
So with a free movement of labour what happened to immigration here? | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
The census of 2001 shows that in England 9.2% of the population | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
In the east of England it was a smaller figure 7%. | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
The 2011 census, after that enlargement, shows that in England | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
those born outside the UK had risen to just under 14% of the population. | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
here in the east the figure had reached 11%. | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
Often quoted is Peterborough ` in 2001, 9.8% of the local | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
Ten years on the proprtion had doubled over 20%. | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
David Voas, from the University of Essex, has | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
There has been a large increase, whether in absolute terms one thinks | :14:42. | :14:58. | |
it is large or little, it is a matter for political debate. | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
According to the 2011 census, the town of Northampton saw | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
an influx of almost 10,000 people from the countries that joined | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
Paul Kuznekovs , originally from Latvia, runs a recruitment firm. | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
When Latvia joined Europe in 2004 I immediately went to establish my | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
company. The first thing I was thinking about was recruitment | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
services. Helping my counterparts from my country, my countrymen to | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
Creative designer Gregorz Filipiak came to Northampton eight years ago | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Since I met my neighbours which are British all of them then we live in | :15:39. | :15:56. | |
a friendly community now. They are very helpful and we try to help each | :15:57. | :16:04. | |
other. As we say in Poland, you can always count on them if you want to | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
borrow a glass of sugar or something! | :16:10. | :16:10. | |
Nearly all the eastern Europeans in the region have arrived since that | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
But overall they?re still a relatively small proportion | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
In 2001, 1 in 12 of us here in the east was born outside the UK. | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
According to that most recent census, it?s now 1 in 9. | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
In sport, three of the region's sides are | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
On Sunday, Cambridge United have a date | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
at Wembley for the Conference final tomorrow Southend play the second | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
And there's plenty at stake at Franklin's Gardens tonight | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
as Northampton Saints host arch`rivals Leicester Tigers in | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
Yes, good evening. Two sides, 40 miles apart but with an intense and | :16:44. | :17:02. | |
bitter rivalry which has lasted decades. Tonight, Franklin is | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
Gardens selling out, a good healthy crowd. More on that later. Looking | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
ahead to the Wembley date for Cambridge United fans. Twice they | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
failed in the final stages, let's hope it is third time lucky. | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
It is rare to see a group of footballers so quiet. No pranks, no | :17:29. | :17:38. | |
wisecracks, just 100 and focus. Cambridge United manager Richard | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
spent an hour drilling his Wembley troops. They have big match | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
experience and the giant arch. Winners of the FA Trophy, they go as | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
regulars not first timers. You can't put an estimate of the value of | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
walking out at Wembley. You hear the noise for the first time. We have | :18:03. | :18:11. | |
done that. And then producing after that is crucial. We can do it, we | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
have done it and we are confident we will do it again in terms of | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
performance and we have to see if they can. The new squad is packed | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
with hungry players. There is an exception. Chadwick has experience | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
with Manchester United but his work for Cambridge against Welling in | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
March that he preferred to his first match against Bayern Munich. I | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
always wanted to play for this club. Playing for Man United is | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
unbelievable but I was a lot younger then. | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
I didn't appreciate it as much. I appreciate things more. Promotion to | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
the football league would end nine long years in the conference. Do | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
they deserve to join Luton, Stevenage and possibly Southend in | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
League two? Richard is in no doubt. The structure is incredible. It is | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
as good as anybody in the country. We have the best structure of | :19:14. | :19:21. | |
anyone. Even United and Chelsea and Liverpool? They spend 5 million on | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
the use of structure and we generate our own cash pound for pound, yes. | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
Like Luton who are champions, Cambridge are more than ready to go | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
up. The second`best team in the regular season they have to prove | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
they are number one at Wembley on Sunday. Good luck to Cambridge. | :19:42. | :19:50. | |
Coverage is on Sunday on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire. A big game at | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
Franklins Gardens. They have not beaten Leicester for years. | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
What chance tonight? You know what is going through the players minds? | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
Why has it been so difficult beating Leicester? I think Leicester have | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
been more clinical taking opportunities and they are a good | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
team. We need to be more clinical in those pressure areas to come away | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
with a result. They have been feisty, a cube red cards down the | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
years. You sense it is the mental mouse which could be the final thing | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
which counts. Have Saints got it mentally to win? The week in | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
training has been fantastic. Listening to the messages, I think | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
tonight the lads will be switched on and hopefully we will see the game | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
control to put us in the right areas. And you are at home which is | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
quite rare for the Saints. How much will that be a factor? The | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
crowd to rough fantastic. They travel everywhere. They put their | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
hands in their pockets a lot. They are here for another semifinal and | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
it shows how much it means. The boys want to put on a show for them. | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
Good luck to Southend finely as well because they play in their play`off | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
tomorrow against Burton. All of the coverage on your BBC local radio. A | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
lovely weekend of weather. We reached the highest temperatures | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
today so far this week, this year! Temperatures up to 22 Celsius. More | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
places than I can fit on the chart got above 20 degrees. These numbers | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
will go higher over the weekend because we have high pressure in | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
position across the British Isles. It has been bringing warmer air up | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
from the south`west. It is here to stay meaning warm temperatures this | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
weekend but also sunshine and tomorrow might bring us more cloud. | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
It is looking warm and sunny across the region for the entire weekend. | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
So, the satellite image shows some cloud arriving earlier, some of you | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
might have wondered where the sunshine went. It has started to | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
thin and break up so we end the day for most of us fine and sunny and | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
quite warm. Temperatures of 20 degrees. Overnight, patchy cloud | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
coming and going, we have established some warmth, | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
temperatures not falling down to low overnight. For many of us, we remain | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
in double figures. Be aware if you live in a place prone to being | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
Chile, there is a break in the cloud. So, we start tomorrow with | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
lots of sunshine around. Into the afternoon, the cloud will build. `` | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
chilly. There may be isolated showers. A fairly low risk for most | :22:40. | :22:48. | |
of us it is warm and sunny. Temperatures are likely to get to 22 | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
Celsius. Somebody find conditions to come for the day. And then you might | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
be wondering how long this will last, this is the pressure pattern | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
for Sunday, we have a low coming, by Tuesday it will bring unsettled | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
weather, it will still be warm on Monday. The amount of cloud will | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
increase by the day itself looks dry. Look at Sunday, temperatures up | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
to 23 Celsius, maybe higher. Long spells of sunshine, increasingly | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
clouded by Monday with more cloud around, suppressing temperatures. As | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
the low moves in, some showers moving in. Overnight temperatures | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
stay in double figures so some fine weather for the next few days. Enjoy | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
it. That looks lovely. 22 degrees again. What ever you are doing this | :23:46. | :23:53. | |
weekend, have a good one. Goodbye. See you next week. | :23:54. | :24:18. | |
One of the things I've done since I became leader of the Labour Party is | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
understand where we got things wrong in government, and changed them. | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
And one of the things we didn't get right was immigration. | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
And that's why I've got a new approach. | :24:30. | :24:31. | |
Millions of people in this country are concerned about immigration. | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
the Labour Party I lead is going to be talking about it. | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
And in these local and European elections, | :24:40. | :24:41. | |
Labour is setting out a different plan. | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
Britain's diversity is a source of strength and has made us | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
if migration isn't properly controlled and managed. | :24:51. | :24:58. | |
And I know that people can see their wages undercut. | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
So it's not prejudice when people worry about immigration - | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
Low-skill migration has been too high and we need to bring it down. | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
That means the maximum transitional controls for new countries | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
it means properly enforcing the minimum wage, | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
so people aren't brought here to undercut workers already here, | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
and it means let's give proper training to workers already here | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
so that they have a fighting chance of filling the vacancies that exist. | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
There's nothing wrong in employing people from abroad, but the rules | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
need to be fair so that local people get a fair crack at the whip. | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
I met young people at the college who were learning how to be | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
car mechanics, learning how to be bricklayers. | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
They're desperate for apprenticeships, desperate for jobs. | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
That's why, under a Labour government, | :25:49. | :25:50. | |
companies bringing in skilled workers from outside the European Union | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
apprenticeships to the next generation. | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
For recruitment agencies, some of whom do a good job, | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
they can't engage in bad practices, like saying, | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
"We're only going to employ people from abroad." | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
we would say to all recruitment agencies, you can't just | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
exclude people because they happen to be living in Britain. | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
I've come to Acton College in West London. | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
This is the college where my dad came, 70 years ago, | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
He worked as a removals man by day and he studied English here. | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
He knew he couldn't get on in life, couldn't get on in Britain, | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
'and work here should learn the English language.' | :26:37. | :26:44. | |
How important do you think these courses are, English... | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
'was talking to the women in the classroom about learning English.' | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
They said to me overwhelmingly, look, we've got | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
to be able to learn English, because otherwise, as one of them said, | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
English language teaching has been cut back in recent years. | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
But talk to the people at this college and they say that's | :27:10. | :27:13. |
