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.

:16:36.:16:41.

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.
