First tonight, Norwich Airport has a new owner

He is Sir Peter Rigby, who is one of the richest men

:00:15.:00:22.

Countdown to the Tour de Fr`nce Why are they making more of a fhrst in

:00:23.:00:30.

Yorkshire than down here? And a home`made island for a water bowl,

:00:31.:00:33.

with special cameras First tonight,

:00:34.:00:42.

Norwich Airport has a new owner He is Sir Peter Rigby,

:00:43.:00:44.

who is one of the richest mdn in Britain, and already runs

:00:45.:00:47.

two other regional airports. Today he announced that he has

:00:48.:00:49.

bought an 80% stake in We'll hear from him in a moment, but

:00:50.:00:52.

first, this report from our business He is one of Britain's richest men,

:00:53.:01:10.

although you have probably never heard of him. Sir Peter Rigby earns

:01:11.:01:16.

Coventry and Exeter Airport. Now he has bought Norwich Wari figure

:01:17.:01:18.

has bought Norwich Wari figtre understood to be in the tens of

:01:19.:01:21.

millions of pounds. I think there is great potential. It is well managed,

:01:22.:01:26.

and it has got through the difficulty is in the past five years

:01:27.:01:31.

of business recession. Now, as the economy is picking up, we sde a

:01:32.:01:34.

travel being directly associated with the economy and we can see more

:01:35.:01:40.

future passengers and routes for not a crew Norwich is the region's port

:01:41.:01:44.

bigot airport behind Stanstdd, bigot airport behind Stansted, Luton

:01:45.:01:48.

and Southend. It handles ne`rly half a million passengers a year. Ten

:01:49.:01:53.

years ago, the Apple was sold by the local councils to a private

:01:54.:01:56.

operator, and there were plans for growth, but they did not

:01:57.:02:01.

really work Flybe was brought in to offer new

:02:02.:02:07.

routes and low fares. after the airport introduced a

:02:08.:02:12.

controversial ?3 development fee for improvements, Flybe withdrew

:02:13.:02:18.

services. Today, the development fee is ?10 per adult. Norwich is a

:02:19.:02:23.

helicopter hub naughtily oil industry, and operates flights to

:02:24.:02:27.

Amsterdam and a number of British cities, plus holiday flights. What

:02:28.:02:33.

do people want for a new owner? Getting in new airlines, you could

:02:34.:02:36.

Getting in new airlines, yot could advertise with easyJet and Ryanair.

:02:37.:02:39.

Locals would probably use that rather than going all the way to

:02:40.:02:42.

Stanstead. I needs more destinations, and the

:02:43.:02:48.

first thing that springs to mind is Cyprus. I would

:02:49.:02:51.

winter destinations, Lanzarote, maybe Gran canaria, summer and

:02:52.:02:57.

winter, like Alicante and M`laga. There are a lot of people who are

:02:58.:03:04.

pressing for those to return. New routes are being looked at, but what

:03:05.:03:09.

airport development fee will be staying at

:03:10.:03:14.

an integral part of the business model here, and will give

:03:15.:03:20.

the growth in routes I have just described. After a

:03:21.:03:27.

relieved to hear their rich new owner will be keeping them

:03:28.:03:30.

He set up the Rigby Group in 1975 with just ?2,000.

:03:31.:03:31.

The group now owns a string of hotels, specialist computer centres,

:03:32.:03:34.

and has a turnover thought to be in excess of two billion pounds a year.

:03:35.:03:42.

When I spoke to him at the airport today, I wanted to

:03:43.:03:45.

know why he wanted a third airport, and why he chose Norwich.

:03:46.:03:49.

Speak`macro it is a classic regional airport, and we think it is a

:03:50.:03:56.

perfect addition to our portfolio of regional airports. It is a classic

:03:57.:04:02.

regional airports with debt. Yes. All airports have a record of having

:04:03.:04:05.

to have significant capital investment, and the get in this

:04:06.:04:14.

airport is related to, first of all, the previous shareholders'

:04:15.:04:18.

acquisition, and secondly, to an accumulation of investments made at

:04:19.:04:23.

the time. So the airport itself, in terms of its operational

:04:24.:04:28.

requirements, does wash its face. Do you want to see more flights in?

:04:29.:04:32.

There would be some people who live near the airport who don't want to

:04:33.:04:37.

see more flights. course want to see more flights, and

:04:38.:04:44.

we want greater connectivity to the outside world from Norwich. Whenever

:04:45.:04:46.

you have people living close to you have people living closd to an

:04:47.:04:51.

airport, some of those people will object, and that is, I'm afraid, a

:04:52.:04:59.

fact of life. There are those that would tell you that if

:05:00.:05:02.

the downturn in passenger numbers here, it is directly related to the

:05:03.:05:07.

surcharge, ?10 per passenger now, to use this. I don't necessarily agree

:05:08.:05:13.

with that. I think the downturn at this airport is essentially in line

:05:14.:05:19.

with other regional airports, and it is that Cliff that the world went

:05:20.:05:28.

off in 2008. The numbers prior to that in all airports would have

:05:29.:05:32.

shown a steady and significant growth year in, year out, more

:05:33.:05:37.

people flying, more accessibility for flights. The decline came

:05:38.:05:40.

for flights. The decline cale with the decline of the economy. Are you

:05:41.:05:44.

somebody who thinks that a surcharge per passenger is a good

:05:45.:05:49.

thing? I think it is an essential thing as far as this airport is

:05:50.:05:53.

concerned. Do you see yoursdlf staying this size, or do yot see

:05:54.:05:58.

yourself going to be, say, Southend? Southend is in a different

:05:59.:06:06.

situation. It is calling itself London Southend, as opposed to

:06:07.:06:08.

flying into what are alreadx overcrowded London airports. I don't

:06:09.:06:15.

see Norwich London airport. It would be silly, in my opinion, to try and

:06:16.:06:21.

replicate that approach. Well I see other airlines coming into Norwich

:06:22.:06:24.

which may be going into Southend today? I hope so. And the ?10

:06:25.:06:30.

surcharge in five years will be what? ?10. Thank you very mtch.

:06:31.:06:33.

1,500 patients at a surgery in Norfolk have been told to find

:06:34.:06:36.

another GP because it doesn't have enough doctors.

:06:37.:06:38.

Nearly half the doctors at the surgery in Watton

:06:39.:06:40.

near Thetford have left, and those who are left can't cope.

:06:41.:06:42.

Across the region, there is a shortage of GPs

:06:43.:06:46.

because lots of them have rdtired early and some are moving to

:06:47.:06:49.

Since he was born 76 years ago, David has been with the samd surgery

:06:50.:07:07.

five minutes away in Wotton. But now, he is being told he has deep

:07:08.:07:13.

sign up with another practice 2 minutes away. Having been whth them

:07:14.:07:18.

all the time, they have been excellent see me. Swapping wouldn't

:07:19.:07:24.

be a nice thing to do. One xear ago, they should have stopped taking

:07:25.:07:28.

patients on. Those patients that came to them, they should have

:07:29.:07:34.

referred them to the other doctors' surgery that they have allocated.

:07:35.:07:37.

Water and medical practice has a team of

:07:38.:07:41.

others across the region, it is struggling to recruit. This doctor

:07:42.:07:45.

has been here 24 years and intention of leaving, but he says

:07:46.:07:48.

the long workload is taking its toll.

:07:49.:07:52.

Northwick is because of the pressure, new doctors

:07:53.:07:58.

don't want to go into gener`l practice. No matter how much

:07:59.:08:02.

you throw at it, if people are net to

:08:03.:08:07.

provide it. Do you feel you are firefighting? Yes,

:08:08.:08:11.

trying to do emergencies only. The normal ratio is one to 1800. Wotton

:08:12.:08:15.

used to be within ratio, but it now has only five doctors, so the ratio

:08:16.:08:21.

is now wanted to 800. They say that this would be not

:08:22.:08:25.

patients. I think we are not training

:08:26.:08:31.

look at new ways of working to make sure

:08:32.:08:36.

clinicians. It is a bit depressing when a job

:08:37.:08:42.

cannot recruit doctors. I think in all of these things, it is `bout

:08:43.:08:47.

that they can provide a high`quality service. As if the problem

us what the shortfall GPs is in this region, but one doctor told us

:09:07.:09:11.

doctor, are rapidly running out of patience.

Care UK runs the non`emergency 111 phone service,

:09:21.:09:24.

It denies that any data has been falsified.

:09:25.:09:31.

A member of staff at Hollesley Bay prison in Suffolk has been charged

:09:32.:09:34.

Frances King, who's a clerical assistant, is also accused of having

:09:35.:09:39.

an improper relationship with Daniel Best, who escaped in July last year.

:09:40.:09:41.

Unemployment in the East is down again.

:09:42.:09:51.

It's now 168,000, down 15,000 on the previous quarter.

:09:52.:09:53.

5.3% of the workforce is now out of work.

:09:54.:09:55.

As we've been hearing this week, the day when the Tour de France arrives

:09:56.:10:06.

But some people believe Essex and Cambridge should be doing more

:10:07.:10:10.

The councils involved say they are doing their best

:10:11.:10:14.

Celebrations for the Tour dd France coming to Britain, but this was in

:10:15.:10:31.

Yorkshire, not here in the dast It is said to be the world's bhggest

:10:32.:10:37.

and most watched sporting event, and there are certainly signs that

:10:38.:10:40.

Tour de France is coming to Cambridge. But is the city `nd the

:10:41.:10:46.

county doing enough to promote it? One person involved in

:10:47.:10:50.

the Yorkshire stage thinks our region could be doing more.

:10:51.:10:54.

stage three does not seem to be promoted as much, and that is as big

:10:55.:10:59.

a stage as the other two. I am not little bit more, but we're getting

:11:00.:11:06.

close now to the tour coming so it needs to be prizes a little

:11:07.:11:11.

bit more, I think. Cambridge at key locations. Essex

:11:12.:11:17.

has still nothing much to be sedn out

:11:18.:11:23.

and about, not even a banner in it been so low`key year compared

:11:24.:11:28.

with Yorkshire? We have has, but we are making up for that

:11:29.:11:35.

in our creative our local community, both in terms

:11:36.:11:42.

of local people and businesses. We the bid in, not Essex, and so to a

of this market town, and thd influx of GIs in this area alone included

:13:28.:13:32.

8000 black US service men. But while they generally got

:15:32.:15:39.

The last programme in the present series is tolorrow

:15:40.:15:41.

This is then the first series of Springwatch at its new home of

:15:42.:15:54.

Minsmere. Around the clock, live pictures are streamed via the red

:15:55.:16:02.

button service. Behind me is the production village. It really is

:16:03.:16:04.

The beautiful, diverse landscape that's produced

:16:05.:16:05.

some of the most arresting hmages in the history of Springwatch.

:16:06.:16:06.

24 hours a day, live pictures come in from cameras

:16:07.:16:11.

There are 130 people working here, all of them vital,

:16:12.:16:18.

We have up to 12 kilometres of fibre optic cable filtering out into the

:16:19.:16:25.

woods and bushes all around here, very delicately put not to disturb

:16:26.:16:29.

the animals, and all of that information and footage is flooding

:16:30.:16:32.

back live into this great bhg nerve centre here.

:16:33.:16:36.

This is the sixth series of Springwatch presented by

:16:37.:16:39.

Chris Packham, who told me of his magic moments in a rdserve

:16:40.:16:42.

It's been brilliantly sculpted by the RSPB over the last 50 plus

:16:43.:16:48.

years, a repository, an ark for many endangered species,

:16:49.:16:52.

There have been a number of magic moments.

:16:53.:16:56.

I think that getting a camera on the bitterns' nest was magic in itself.

:16:57.:16:59.

Visitors to Minsmere and other reserves in the summer will see

:17:00.:17:05.

They drop into this invisible cloak of reeds, but we got a camera

:17:06.:17:12.

inside under that cloak, and we've seen things which probably

:17:13.:17:15.

haven't been seen before. And then, far simpler things.

:17:16.:17:19.

We've had our cameras on nests of goldfinch and blackbird, and they've

:17:20.:17:23.

been visited by adders, right up in the bushes, and it's been quite

:17:24.:17:27.

gruesome, but again, as a naturalist, I know that I could have

:17:28.:17:31.

gone my entire lifetime out in the field, looking at brambles,

:17:32.:17:35.

looking at birds' nests, and I'd never seen that.

:17:36.:17:37.

That's the real treat of Springwatch.

:17:38.:17:39.

Over the three weeks, incredible downpours gave way to

:17:40.:17:44.

fine weather, helping to produce a memorable array of picturds.

:17:45.:17:47.

The BBC has praised the cooperation of the RSPB, who run the reserve,

:17:48.:17:50.

and the charity says the programme has fuelled a big increase hn people

:17:51.:17:53.

The live cameras will be back here again next spring.

:17:54.:18:08.

They have an cameras here to get pictures like that, but less just to

:18:09.:18:19.

lose one man, Russell Savary, based near Maldon Essex. With a

:18:20.:18:24.

his own cameras and a lot of patience, he has been

:18:25.:18:30.

water vole. In his own words, this is how he did it. This is a

:18:31.:18:35.

war aerodrome, and the first reason I came to this place is for my

:18:36.:18:40.

workshop. I am a motorsport engineer, but did not take le very

:18:41.:18:46.

long to realise what a special place this for wildlife. I am now

:18:47.:18:51.

exchanging the spammers and motor cars for wildlife. We have puite a

:18:52.:18:56.

few redundant buildings herd, which is perfect habitat for the owls. It

:18:57.:18:59.

is perfect habitat for the owls It is all high intensity agriculture

:19:00.:19:04.

around here, with a fantasthc oasis amongst it. Having a great passion

:19:05.:19:06.

for wildlife since a young age, for wildlife since a young `ge, I

:19:07.:19:13.

incorporated that into the plans and visions for the site, reallx. I

:19:14.:19:20.

first realised there were w`ter vole there when I was sitting on a bench

:19:21.:19:28.

I always want a bit of a project for the year. This year is the year of

:19:29.:19:37.

the water vole. I have It is very, very interesting, with

:19:38.:19:52.

the perspectives you can get with these cameras.

:19:53.:19:57.

It looks like the vole has just done the fastest 50 metres possible, but

:19:58.:20:08.

actually, when you look at the scale back, it is only about ten feet

:20:09.:20:14.

Within the reeds are huge great trees, and everything looks

:20:15.:20:18.

cleft. I was blown away by detail. It is awesome.

:20:19.:20:22.

What I have been doing lately is getting down on the ground and

:20:23.:20:26.

getting the eyelevel shots. It changes the sort of photograph you

:20:27.:20:29.

get with that. So I lay there with about an inch

:20:30.:20:35.

above the water, staying perfectly still, and a water vole camd out to

:20:36.:20:41.

the little island we built for him. It has been absolutely great fun,

:20:42.:20:49.

and quite enlightening, really. I just wanted to get really close

:20:50.:20:57.

in, so you can see the feet, and then gripping. All of that detail,

:20:58.:21:01.

the tail slapping. Seeing the interaction between the rolds and

:21:02.:21:08.

some of them completely ignoring one another. They almost don't

:21:09.:21:11.

one another, and then occashonally, at this time of year, mating and

:21:12.:21:18.

everything else, they must have a bit of a fight on top of the weed.

:21:19.:21:20.

It has been fascinating, absolutely fascinating.

:21:21.:21:26.

The more time you put in, the luckier you get. It is not hnstant

:21:27.:21:31.

gratification, that's for sure. The buzz that you get from putthng

:21:32.:21:35.

buzz that you get from putting the machine in an whizzing throtgh it

:21:36.:21:40.

and seeing what you get, it is almost like winning the

:21:41.:21:44.

That is a bit special. Fant`stic pictures from Russell Savary down
