In the programme tonight, another Monday morning commute ruined | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Typical network rail. All that they do is create chaos, thank you very | :00:07. | :00:24. | |
The funeral of the tennis star takes place in Ipswich. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
We're on the campaign trail with the Prime Minister in Harlow. | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
And I am at Chelsea in a garden designed to help heal soldiers who | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
have been scarred by war. It came with the promise | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
of a better, more reliable service into London, but | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
on the first weekend of engineering work at Colchester railway station, | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
passengers were left waiting The reason ` | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
overrunning engineering work. Commuters across three counties | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
were left stranded and those trains We'll hear from Network Rail | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
in a moment. You could tell from the length of | :01:06. | :01:21. | |
the crowds on the flat form that this was a Monday morning that many | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
commuters would want to forget. Network Rail, which maintains the | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
railways, it has been renewing tracks in the Colchester area. It | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
was carrying out some of the work at the weekend, the work overran, | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
because, say the company, because of technical problems with the overhead | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
lines. That meant that trains could not run through Colchester until 9am | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
this morning and some commuters trying to make it down to London | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
simply abandon their journeys. There is a train in at the moment, I | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
do not know when it will leave. A few have left, but not many, and | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
they have been packed. So that is it. | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
Are you giving up? Yes, along with everyone else here. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
How will your work view this? Will they take it into account? I think | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
they are getting used to it, three meetings have been cancelled. | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
Typical Network Rail, or they seem to do is to cause chaos, ?63 a week | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
thank you very much. The bus replacement left, but the | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
bus driver had no idea where he was going, although he had a map. I was | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
on there for an hour and ten minutes. | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
Both Network Rail and the train operator apologise will stop there | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
were more delays when someone was hit by a train near London. They | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
said that passengers with tickets for tomorrow will be able to use | :02:57. | :02:57. | |
them. Steve Cassidy is the Area Director | :02:58. | :02:58. | |
for Network Rail. The engineering work was carried out | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
by his company I spoke to him | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
late this afternoon and started by There were a number of issues, | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
unfortunately. We had some switching issues, | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
issues with the track. There were a number of issues, | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
unfortunately. When you knew that was going to be | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
the case, why did you not stop work before you | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
got to that critical time? Unfortunately, we had gone past | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
the point of no return. When | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
the work started to slip behind, we scaled back, so some of the work | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
we did not do at the weekend. The rest of the work, | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
we had removed the railway and we had to put something back to | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
get services running today. Unfortunately, we were | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
beyond the point of no return. These people work | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
for you or is it on contract? we use a number of different | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
contractors to carry out the work . Presumably, there are penalty | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
clauses there which will enable you to claim money from those companies | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
and give that back to the people who the contractual system | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
between ourselves and our Unfortunately, we don't have | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
the straightforward penalty clauses You think that people won?tget | :04:11. | :04:20. | |
all of their money back. People will be able to get | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
compensation for travelling You will understand that this is | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
embarrassing, because in your press released last | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
week you said that you were planning to upgrade Colchester to give | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
passengers a more reliable journey. In the long run, this will create | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
a more reliable infrastructure The structure in that area is | :04:42. | :04:53. | |
expired and it needs to be renewed. Can you guarantee that this will not | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
happen again for the next few weeks? We will try our very best to | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
stop this from happening again. We are fully committed to giving the | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
railway back on Monday mornings. I will guarantee it as much as I | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
possibly can. Unfortunately, | :05:16. | :05:25. | |
we are doing significant works Give me a mark out of ten | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
of the way that Network Rail handled It has been very poor, very poor | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
for the travelling public. Some of the biggest names in tennis | :05:36. | :05:46. | |
including Tim Henman, Laura Robson, Jo Durie and Judy Murray were | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
in Ipswich this afternoon The former British number one | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
died two weeks ago from cancer. Her husband Nino said she had | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
touched so many lives They all came to remember Bally, as | :05:58. | :06:22. | |
she was known. Family, friends and sportspeople remembering her | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
standing in the game. It was very colourful. | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
It was part of her instructions and part of her demeanour, she was | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
always very positive and upbeat. She did not want people in black, so we | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
have worn bright colours today. She was born in Kiev, but Ipswich | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
became her adopted home after her father signed for the team there. | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
She earned a reputation as focused and a fighter. | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
She was a very special person. I miss her. | :07:04. | :07:12. | |
She absolutely used all her potential and that was because of | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
her spirit. She was one of the most appreciative children I ever met. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Throughout her career, she had injury and illness, a chronic liver | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
condition. I would not change anything at all. I am glad that I | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
had those obstacles and that I managed to fulfil my potential. | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
She was told in January that she had to liver cancer. The news came just | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
months after she had announced her retirement and married her long`time | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
coach. Their hopes and dreams crushed now so cruelly. | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
In a statement, her husband said that he and the family had been | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
touched by the tributes for Bally, that had come from around the world. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
We would like to thank everyone for their support. We know that her | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
memory and her spirit will live on. Fantastic athlete and player. She | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
was a role model. If you have to choose a role model for tennis, you | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
would choose her. A major fund`raising events in her | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
honour will take place next month, and her legacy is real, especially | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
her Academy in Ipswich to make tennis access the ball to people of | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
all backgrounds. I want to be a professional on TV. | :08:37. | :08:47. | |
And the memories will never fade of someone who was brave and warm and | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
loving, someone who was taken to early. | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
David Cameron has told Look East that he feels confident the economy | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
is on the right track, as he entered the final week of campaigning | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
The Prime Minister was speaking during a visit to Harlow College. | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
The opinion polls suggest that things might be improving for | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
the Conservatives, but none of the parties can be sure how many people | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
It was underneath a Vauxhall Astra that the Prime Minister made his | :09:15. | :09:27. | |
latest pitch for votes in the region, meeting students on the | :09:28. | :09:36. | |
maintenance course at the college. We are making it for a service | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
inspection. His message was that the economy has changed `` turned a | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
corner and has created more job opportunities. Times have been | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
difficult and we should understand that, but we are on the right track | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
and we should stick to it and benefit the people. How do you win | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
over the people who have had enough about all the parties? I think it is | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
important for people to think about what the result of a election is. | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
When you vote for your local council, you deciding who will set | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
the taxes. His worry is that many people will | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
vote for UKIP or not vote at all. An opinion poll suggests that a lot of | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
people are not in gauging with the political parties at the moment. | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
Nothing has ever stood out who I should vote for. Do you think that | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
they are in touch with people? Not really. They are not in touch with | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
me. Or that the parties do is for adults, not young people. The | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
success of UKIP with its antiestablishment message is | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
worrying all the parties. The question is how to counter it will | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
stop I think people are surprised when a member of Parliament speaks | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
to them, because there is the thought that it has moved away from | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
them. Looking at the cost of living and the fuel prices at the moment | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
and showing that we will take action on those things that matter to | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
people. That is how we will get people to engage with politics. | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
Today, the Prime Minister was trying to do his bit to connect with | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
voters. It will show with if he is succeeding and will also show what | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
the voters think of him and all politicians. | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
The pop star Tulisa has appeared in court in Chelmsford accused | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
of punching a celebrity blogger at the V Festival in Essex. | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
The 25`year`old former X Factor judge claimed the man was a stalker. | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
She has pleaded not guilty to assault. | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
Savvas Morgan told the court he was sworn at threatened | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
The police in Essex have announced a big reorganisation. | :11:41. | :11:50. | |
Chief Constable Stephen Kavanagh says 500 officers will be moved | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
into local policing, but will be losing staff | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
This is what the Chief Constable believes that the public want, more | :11:56. | :12:10. | |
local policing. But he says that resources need to be balanced whilst | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
operating within the reduced budget. It is a difficult decision, whatever | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
type of officer you are, when you have specialised and you are asked | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
to return to where you started. But our job is to deliver the best that | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
we can with the money that we have been given. We will support them | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
with training and hopefully they can specialise later in their careers. | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
Some of those firefighter officers will be taken from specialist jobs. | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
At the moment, there are 160 officers taking care of the roads. | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
After the changes, there will be 103. Currently, there are 109 | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
offices in the firearms team, by September there will be 85 of stop | :12:56. | :13:03. | |
and out of the 325 officers that are trained in public order tactics, | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
only 50 will be any specialist team. The changes will save ?3 million. | :13:09. | :13:17. | |
Mark West, at the Federation of the police announcement, says that the | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
announcement is a bit misleading. It is not like we forgot that we had | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
these policeman. We are having cuts to front`line policing and the | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
officers that are mentioned in this statement are already out there, | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
they are just going to become a larger group when they've had up | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
with neighbourhood offices. This restructuring won't mean 500 | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
officers on the street, it will mean a change in how they are managed and | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
their priorities. Still to come, just 23 days to go | :13:48. | :14:03. | |
and the World Cup countdown begins. And hope on the horizon, a garden in | :14:04. | :14:13. | |
celebration of the soldiers in Colchester. | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
The issue of whether we should stay in or get out of Europe has been | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
centre stage during this election campaign. But what do business | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
leaders want to do? Our business correspondent Richard Bond has been | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
They wage war on unwanted saplings. Wood chipper is are in demand all | :14:27. | :14:41. | |
over the world. This factory in Stowmarket makes 600 machines every | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
year. Europe is the main foreign market. This machine is for France. | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
But some people want Britain to leave the EU. | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
I think it is too expensive for us to be in. We can trade on our own | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
merits. We want to buy other nation's prof `` products. | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
Supporters of the European Union say that it would put jobs at risk to | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
leave the EU. With the proximity to the port, this region should do well | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
trading with Europe. Last year, we sold ?15 billion worth of goods and | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
services to the EU. But the trade has been stagnating. Six years ago, | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
more of our exports went to the EU, only 30% of the rest of the world. | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
Now it is 60% the EU, 40% of the rest of the world. | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
Stephen runs a logistics firm dealing with goods flowing through | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
Felixstowe. He wants to be remain part of the EU, but with less red | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
tape. We need to look at the International trade regulations, | :15:59. | :15:59. | |
particularly with the European Union, to see how they could be | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
relaxed so that the UK could do more trade with the rest of the world. | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
Most business people I meet in the region say that the European Union | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
is not perfect, but they are not in favour of leaving, they want a | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
better deal. Whether we get one will affect trade with sports like this. | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
And, in case you missed it, the Sunday Politics yesterday hosted | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
a live debate on the Euro elections from the University of Bedfordshire | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
Labour, the Lib Dems, the Conservatives, UKIP and | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
You can find the programme on BBC iPlayer. | :16:32. | :16:35. | |

A garden designed to help people who have been scarred by war has been | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
Hope on the Horizon symbolises the long road to recovery for those who | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
After the show, it will be replanted at the Help For Heroes | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
The inspiration was easy, the planning meticulous. The final | :16:56. | :17:21. | |
result, small but perfectly formed. This is a garden designed to help | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
those who have been scarred by war. As you enter the garden, you are | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
faced with a view that goes through the centre. That focuses all | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
attention on the sculpture at the back of the garden, which reflects | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
the title of the garden, Hope on the Horizon. It is the horizon line. As | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
you move through the space, all the soldiers move through recovery, it | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
becomes more refined. It is designed for men like Rory | :17:53. | :18:01. | |
Mackenzie who lost his leg. It was three years of withdrawal and | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
embarrassment, but now it is part of who I am. I do not care. The garden | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
echoes that. It is very peaceful and tranquil. | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
The walk through this garden takes just a fewer seconds, but it | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
symbolises that the road to recovery can be long for those who have come | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
back from the battlefield. I think it is important to remember | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
that, for many people, the war in Afghanistan is coming to a close, | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
but for other people it will carry on. This is a great place where | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
people who have been affected by the war who need a bit of peace and | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
quiet, they can sit here and have a few moments to themselves. | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
He was not the only famous face at Chelsea, they were all out to admire | :18:50. | :18:57. | |
the displays. Amongst the many show gardens was another that reflected | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
on the war. No man's land, a landscaped carved by years of | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
conflict. The Chelsea judges have come to inspect Matthew's garden. | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
We are not allowed to film the judges, what are they looking at? | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
They are looking at everything that you have done wrong and everything | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
you have done right. They will pull it to bits. | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
Hope on the Horizon will be dismantled in a few days, but will | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
be replanted at the recovery centre in Colchester. | :19:32. | :19:41. | |
Tonight in look East, it is a big night, it is our countdown to the | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
World Cup. Darren will be seeing the action. | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
Norwich City's Stadium and some Brazilian sunshine. It is the | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
Norfolk cup final and a big night for fans and players at Wroxham, a | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
big night to for the assistant referee Darren Cann. It is his last | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
game before he flies to the World Cup. | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
The referees have had to qualify like the players. We have had World | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
Cup qualifying games. It is to that selection process that they have | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
chosen 25 trio is going to Brazil. Darren is part of a trio that | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
includes people who were in charge of the World Cup final four years | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
ago. It is a high`pressure business, he once felt be warmth of Alex | :20:41. | :20:49. | |
Ferguson's hairdryer for awarding a penalty against Manchester United. | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
How did he concentrate? He talks to himself. I did used to | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
talk out loud, but I have to temper that now, because the referee and | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
the other official can hear everything that I say. So I have two | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
talk in my head. Watch him in action, and Darren is a | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
study in concentration. He is always on the move, dancing around the | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
touchline, samba style. Gorleston win the game and the | :21:17. | :21:33. | |
referees don't have any difficult decisions to make. Now 45, Brazil | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
will be Darren's last tournament for fever. | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
`` FIFA. I am a passionate football fan and | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
an England fan. We want them to do well, hopefully if they get out of | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
the tough group, they might progress. | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
I would like to hear from you if you have a World Cup story or are | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
organising an event. Please get in contact via Twitter or you can | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
e`mail me. Darren has been there and done that | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
in football. He has the medals and souvenirs to prove it. A second | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
appearance is unlikely. But he would be happy to see England there | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
instead. He is quite a mover. Just to remind | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
you, you can contact Mike on his e`mail. If you want to get him on | :22:32. | :22:41. | |
Twitter, there is the address. He is always on Twitter, so you will reach | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
him very easily. I saw you dancing earlier, I will | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
not do that right now. We had some beautiful sunshine at | :22:51. | :23:01. | |
this weekend, temperatures at 25 Celsius. Many places reached that | :23:02. | :23:09. | |
temperature again today. What are shown in Suffolk not that far | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
behind, making it warmer than Lanzarote and other places that you | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
might think of going on holiday to. Maybe you should stay at home, | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
because we have had impressive temperatures. Not too bad tomorrow. | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
It has been a bit cold at the coast because of a breeze. For many others | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
tonight, it will stay dry. Summer showers around, and some of those | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
could be heavy and Hungary. Temperatures after a warm day, for | :23:42. | :23:50. | |
many of us about 13 or 14 Celsius. Perhaps 11 Celsius in the | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
countryside. Wind using. `` getting less strong. The weather is wet to | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
the west, we will see some further showers tomorrow. If you do is see | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
one tomorrow, there could be some thunder and lightning. Although we | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
will have more cloud around, there should be some sunshine. The | :24:15. | :24:22. | |
temperatures will be 72 Fahrenheit. Colder on the East Coast, because we | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
will have that wind. Tomorrow, a moderate south wind. So, today, | :24:30. | :24:38. | |
there will be some cloud around, but some dry weather for most of us. A | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
risk of thunder and lightning for others. | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
At the weekend, there is a slight change. On Wednesday, there will be | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
a chance to see more showers. There could be some longer spells of rain. | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
We should see some dry weather in between with the sunshine. | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
Temperatures at 16 or 17 Celsius. , the weather could be a few degrees | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
higher. We will be in double figures for a few nights and then slightly | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
colder on Friday. If you are going to Lanzarote, it's | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
looks better in Lanzarote than here. See you tomorrow. Good night. | :25:26. | :25:52. | |
