well it be good weather for celebrating the summer solstice? All

the details later on. The police commissioner for Essex

told Look East today that extra officers will be on duty

in Colchester amidst concern at this week's murder

of a University student. It's day four of

the investigation and today students at Essex University formed a long

queue to sign a book of condolence. 31`year old Nahid Almanea w`s

stabbed to death while she was walking to lectures

on Tuesday morning. The police have criticised some

media reports which claimed In a moment,

the Police and Crime Commissioner, They came in their hundreds

to show their solidarity. Nahid was a Saudi Arabian Muslim

but many faiths should support. Planned as a small gathering

many more arrived. Most did not know her

but felt a need to show support I can imagine her saying to

the murderer, please don't kill me. I know, my teachers now and all

my classmates now, I am peaceful While students were gathering, two

miles away tributes were being left. Search teams combed hundreds

of metres of undergrowth. A tent marks the spot where

she was so brutally attacked. An increased police presencd

glad they are doing their job but at Definitely, especially

for my friends, my female friends The police have been very rdassuring

and have just come to say to us that they are doing everything they can

for the weapon. The CCTV camera outside

the newsagent captured This was

the spot that Nahid was last seen It was 10am in broad daylight

when the attack happened. Her body was found by a passer`by on

the pathway with horrific injuries. Nahid recently scored the highest

mark in her class in an English class but did not lead to receive

her results. Yesterday she was among us physically, she is no more.

However, she will always be a star of inspiration. The Islamic Society

say their hearts were broken by the merciless killing. Police say they

will continue searching until they find out how and why this h`ppened.

This afternoon I spoke to the Police and Crime Commissioner for Dssex,

Nick Alston and he told me how shocked he was

Our hearts go out to her falily and friends, especially her family back

in Saudi Arabia. She was our guest. There was a lot of speculation that

could have been a hate crimd because of her religion. I think sole of

that speculation has been unhelpful and it is wrong and potentially

dangerous to speculate on the way that some people have been doing. It

is one line of enquiry but there are many others. How worried are you

about possible revenge attacks because of that speculation? I like

to think most people hold some balance and will not take that line.

I hope it is unlikely that people will do that but it has been fuelled

by some very particularly on social medi`, but

some headlines and the more responsible

press. The police are trying to answer reasonable questions and

youngsters have been blown up out of proportion.

What would be your message to them? Please thrust the police and

university authorities, trust the advice you are being given. They'd

is good advice being given by the police, but try to avoid lonely

places and make sure you ard what somebody ideally and be very alert.

I had a long top today what the Vice Chancellor and

that the police will be herd then numbers until these crimes are

solved. We want the public's and they go together so we have a

visible police presence. You say you want help, what specificallx are

looking for? The clues to solving this will be in the community.

Somebody will know something that will help the police catch the

killers of these people and I would encourage anybody who

female jogger reported being assaulted. She managed to fight off

her attacker on a footpath less than half a mile away from here. The

footpath has now been sealed off while forensics searched the area.

The man was initially arrested on suspicion of assault but today in

connection with the murder enquiry. Meanwhile a 52`year`old has now been

released without charge and eliminated from enquiries.

Elderly residents and their families have been getting

a glimpse of the future. Care UK opened a

care home in Mildenhall today, the first of ten new homes over

the next three years. 18 months ago, the company took

over responsibility for all This is how care home is usdd to be

and this is how they are today. Stylish, spacious and

state`of`the`art. Half of the 60 beds will call to form `` gold to

former residents. She is 82 that has dementia and she struggled in the

former home at the level of care now is vital and welcome. There are

certain things she forgets about and goes to find and it was becoming

unsafe. I think it is beautiful, nice and neat. The equipment we have

found the space and the opportunity to give life back to people is

amazing. Some of the former staff are moving and

redundancy. The complex has everything, even a cinema. The

average Private we clearly hs average Private we clearly is around

?850. Nine more homes will be completed within 18 months. Another

resident helped open the complex with the council responsible for

adult carer. He says the financial squeeze and demographic change left

them with no choice. The old mantra that the council does everything

well is not necessarily through and a little bit of independencd has

brought these rooms and services for clients and support for rel`tives

and what is a very difficult time. Key UK is a major player and unions

have been highly vocal elsewhere over the rallies but council

officials talk of a bold vision so the company is the perfect long`term

partner. Earlier, I spoke to Chris Hopkinson

from Care UK. I asked him how concerned hd was

about the impact It is always a consideration and

always difficult to make sure people are moved safely unhappily but we

have worked with the local `uthority and local social services and the

families and residents and staff have all been involved in the

decision. Assessing what nedds to move into the new place and we have

a plan to move people as safely as possible. How are the older people

feeling themselves? There are some mixed messages with some people

really am looking forward, `nd there are one of two people who are not

the happiest. They will be moving the happiest. They will be loving to

a much nicer state`of`the`art facility. There has been a lot of

controversy recently about the standard of care but Care UK has

come themselves under scrutiny. How can you reassure people that you

have the actual residents' best interests at heart? We do ftll

interests at heart? We do full assessments and involve all the

specialist bodies, social services and nurses, all the staff, and

people are regularly assessdd to make sure we meet people's needs.

One of the problems for Card UK is it is such a big player, and for

example there were problems in Norfolk last year, and also problems

in Ipswich. I know two managers have had to be suspended recentlx, so

had to be suspended recently, so as far as reputation goes you `re under

Suffolk, we have very good reputation with the county council

and with the public at large, and with the public at largd, some

excellent Care Quality Commhssion inspections and we want to build on

that. We will be able to provide a good standard of care and btild on

the good quality care we ard already delivering.

The family of a woman who was killed in her home in Suffolk last week

Jane Bartholomew was found in Martlesham Heath near Ipswich

Her family say she was an "extraordinary woman" who was

loved by her family, her frhends and her three young daughters.

She will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

Still to come, worries that we are running out of GPs. And thex look

back on a good night for England fans.

Now if you are fed up with dodging potholes in the road

there is some Councils

across the region have managed to get a big share of government money

to repair damaged roads. Today local councils learned they're

to get an extra ?22 million of government money to mend potholes

in our region. Norfolk, Essex and Northamptonshire

will be the biggest winners, followed by Suffolk,

Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire. It costs

around ?61 to repair a pothole. The government says

the money will pay for more than It is today with the pothold gang.

Essex received one of the bhggest government hand`outs in England,

?4.4 million. The cash cannot come soon enough. In recent years we have

had a lot of damage on the roads and we are playing constant catch up. We

will try to do these repairs properly so we may not appear as

many potholes but what we'll do the repair will be done properlx. This

pothole almost cost this man his life, fracturing his skull after

swerving to avoid it. At the High Court he was awarded nearly ?70 000.

I have suffered permanent injuries and they are life changing and

think somebody had to be held to account. Today's announcement of an

extra ?22 million is welcome news for councils who are faced with

compensation claims from road users. compensation claims from ro`d users.

people getting to work and endangering people, you need now is

done immediately. That is what this will provide. A welcome sight for

people, councils like North`mpton sure that do more with dedicated

repair teams and equipment will get more government cash. The epuipment

you see today is used as the most up`to`date technology. It mdans

up`to`date technology. It means we can do a whole lot of potholes very

close together with minimum disruption. We keep trialling

different bits of kept including best machine, ideal for small rural

roads. Trying to get the best value we can out of what money we have

got. The local government Association says decades of

underfunding have trapped local councils in an endless cycle but the

question is will this money be enough

of the region's GP surgeries are facing

their gravest crisis for decades. It's to do with recruitment

and a lack of trained medics to It's a subject that will even be

discussed The worry is that

unless young doctors can be persuaded to go into general

practice, thousands of patidnts The pressure is rising and the

statistics tell a stark story. The man for medical services is going up

and there are not enough GPs to go around. This is probably thd worst

workforce crisis in 30 years. We are getting reports from a lovely way of

real difficulties recruiting GPs. If you have been to the doctor

you will have seen some changes. Surgeries have

wearing a lot of care now takes place. The increased worklo`d has

led many established doctors to retire early and with fewer

graduates opting for general practice be and is a signifhcant

shortage. It is a practice with 16,000 patients and we are short of

six doctors. They will be down to two GPs within a few months. They do

not think they can provide a safe service any more. Despite the drop,

the take`up of training places still relatively high but wd have

been told by local medical committees that GP training courses

attached to hospitals like West Suffolk are only half will. This

woman is training as a doctor in London but is spending four months

in Stowmarket. Suffolk is a great place to work and I have re`lly

enjoyed it with a great range of things to do outside of work and it

is great to have diversity. Do you think you might come back? H would

not say no. Whether she comds back or

crisis could have far reaching consequences. I worry that we are

seeing the privatisation of health care. Then we will lose that

personal care that the population has grown to appreciate. Many

general practices are small businesses in their own right and

that is the funding model. There is an opportunity for general practices

to offer additional salary for new GPs coming in and packages for new

GPs to attract people. With less than a year to the general dlection

the political pressure to solve the crisis is on the rise.

At least we were concentrating! And you can see the health minister

and Suffolk MP Dan Poulter interviewed about that story

in this weekend's Sunday Politics. It's at 11 o'clock on BBC One

on Sunday. Some people in the seaside town

of Southwold say they are strprised a food bank is needed.

It's backed by local churches and they say there are needy people

who will benefit. Southwold is a picture postcard town

in an area where beach huts can sell for ?145,000 and 82 bed terrace for

more than 300,000, and you light think they'd is not any for food

banks. Organisers say the owners head and poverty. One of the gaps

has been revered and is delivery service or dropping where people can

collect parcels. The food bank warehouse will deliver packdd

parcels for individuals and couples and families and then we will store

them locally. They will be delivered out to wherever they are nedded

out to wherever they are needed. This church like many relies on the

generosity of the community. Every week around 20 bags of food are

donated locally helping 70 families. Wherever you are and that can be in

a wealthy part of the country you can be the person on low income who

is self`employed difficulty with ill`health and is

not getting enough money, and it is wonderful when we see

communities getting together and rallying roads to make sure

in situations like that get emergency food. Nearly 3400 people

in east Suffolk were given parcels last year and demand is

increasing. Having this new facility means local people can get immediate

help and will not have to spend money travelling miles to get it.

Temperatures have been up to 22 Celsius. Many other parts of the

Several degrees cooler around the course because we had an onshore

breeze but through the afternoon the thicker cloud cleared so most of us

enjoyed long spells of sunshine Overnight, staying dry for lost of
