arrangements for supporting school In autumn 2012,

:01:50.:01:55.

it says 60% of primary schools and 47% of secondary schools in

:01:56.:01:59.

Norfolk were judged good or better. After the inspection in Jund,

:02:00.:02:02.

they have risen to 70% of primaries But still,

:02:03.:02:05.

below the national average. It predicted a 6% increase this

:02:06.:02:13.

summer in pupils expected to get five GCSEs at grade A star to C

:02:14.:02:16.

including English and maths. Of 29 Norfold schools given

:02:17.:02:20.

intensive support after inspection, Across the board,

:02:21.:02:22.

everybody has bought into this. We have made it absolutely crystal

:02:23.:02:31.

clear that we were not satisfied that Norfolk should be ineffective

:02:32.:02:36.

in anything, but certainly not They have cooperated and thdy have

all pulled together and we have People didn't believe we cotld

do it in 12 months and we h`ve. The only way that we are gohng to

:02:44.:02:48.

see consistency and standards is to actually continue to make

:02:49.:02:53.

the improvements that we have made over the last year,

:02:54.:02:57.

across the whole of the county. We are not quite there yet,

:02:58.:03:00.

which is why I have been very keen to say it's great we have this

:03:01.:03:05.

report and that we are judgdd effective, but this is a jotrney

:03:06.:03:08.

and we still have much more to do. Suffolk County Council was `lso

:03:09.:03:11.

judged ineffective by Ofsted. The inspectorate said it was

:03:12.:03:14.

reviewing the council's performance over

:03:15.:03:16.

the summer and keeping the county's As I said, a year ago,

:03:17.:03:19.

a group of all the local MPs were very vocal in their concern about

:03:20.:03:30.

the Local Education Authority. Earlier today, one of them,

:03:31.:03:32.

Simon Wright, the Liberal Democrats spokesman for

:03:33.:03:36.

Education, came into the sttdio I put it to him, the leader of the

:03:37.:03:38.

council now hopes the MPs whll leave MPs have a duty and a responsibility

:03:39.:03:54.

to highlight where we see problems. We saw problems and children's

:03:55.:03:57.

services last year and we r`ise our concerns. I am very pleased that one

:03:58.:04:01.

month on hard work has been put in by our council and schools to

:04:02.:04:08.

improve the situation. Now, Ofsted save the arrangements in pl`ce are

:04:09.:04:12.

effective and that is great news. Are you saying it wouldn't have

:04:13.:04:15.

happened if MPs had not got involved last year? I think they havd played

:04:16.:04:20.

an important role in highlighting the circumstances. Because of that

:04:21.:04:23.

were already looking at the situation, they were alreadx

:04:24.:04:27.

applying pressure on the cotncil to improve the support being ghven to

:04:28.:04:30.

schools. What is important now is that the progress that has been

:04:31.:04:35.

made, continues. There are still challenges in the community and I

:04:36.:04:39.

welcome the report today. So that report with the Local Education

:04:40.:04:43.

Authority a clean bill of hdalth. It is now down to teachers? Te`chers

:04:44.:04:50.

obviously work closely with the LE a. It's because they have greater

:04:51.:04:56.

support, that improvements `re being made. We have more primary schools

:04:57.:04:59.

and secondary schools that `re considered good or better bx Ofsted.

:05:00.:05:05.

That is because of the support being provided, being courage and forbids

:05:06.:05:08.

schools to work with other schools that need improvement, and the

:05:09.:05:12.

support from the county over the last 12 months. We are still below

:05:13.:05:17.

the national average. We ard and there is more progress that is being

:05:18.:05:20.

made. We need to support sm`ller schools in particular and the need

:05:21.:05:26.

close the attainment gap. The sad fact is the many children,

:05:27.:05:30.

particularly from worse off backgrounds, are doing much worse

:05:31.:05:34.

than children from better homes We need to lower that gap so that every

:05:35.:05:37.

child from Norfolk is the bdst chance succeeds. Thank you.

:05:38.:05:40.

A car mechanic from Essex has been found gtilty

:05:41.:05:43.

Simon Meecham stabbed 26`ye`r`old Leanne Meecham at her house

:05:44.:05:47.

She died of her injuries a week later.

:05:48.:05:49.

Tonight Essex Police face qtestions over whether they could havd done

:05:50.:05:52.

Simon Meecham was Leanne Medcham's stepfather but that did not stop him

:05:53.:06:09.

having a relationship with her. When Leanne Meecham started seeing

:06:10.:06:13.

someone else, he was consumdd by jealousy and in February thhs year,

:06:14.:06:17.

he went to her house in Southend and stabbed her with a kitchen knife.

:06:18.:06:22.

She died one week later in hospital. Simon Meecham never admitted his

:06:23.:06:27.

guilt, in fact he said that Leanne had attacked him. Today, a jury took

:06:28.:06:34.

just four hours to convicted of murder. There were suggestions that

:06:35.:06:39.

the police could have done lore to prevent this. Essex Police were

:06:40.:06:47.

aware of Simon Meecham. He had admitted assaulting Leanne, he was

:06:48.:06:53.

on bail awaiting sentence for that assault when he committed that

:06:54.:06:56.

murder. I asked Essex Policd if they could have done more. This was their

:06:57.:06:58.

response. A review will now commence looking

:06:59.:06:59.

at the circumstances of Essex Police's contact with

:07:00.:07:01.

Simon Meecham and Leanne Medcham Any learning that comes out

:07:02.:07:03.

from that will be acted upon. Essex Police are very much `ware

:07:04.:07:10.

of the requirement to do evdrything they can to safeguard those

:07:11.:07:14.

at risk of domestic abuse We will look very closely

:07:15.:07:17.

at this case to make sure that any learning that comes from it is acted

:07:18.:07:23.

upon, in order that we can safeguard This evening, the policing crime

commissioners said every dax release in the county respond to 80 reports

of domestic violence, 100 in the summer. He said, domestic vholence

:07:45.:07:49.

should be a source of shame for society. Meanwhile, Simon Mdecham

:07:50.:07:55.

will be sentenced on Friday and has been told to expect a subst`ntial

:07:56.:07:56.

jail term. Unemployment

:07:57.:07:57.

in the region is still going down. In the three months to June,

:07:58.:07:59.

it fell by 13,000 to 158,000.The unemployment rate here is now 5 ,

:08:00.:08:02.

well below the national average As we speak, tens of thousands

:08:03.:08:05.

of Yazidi refugees are still hiding, in fear of their lives,

:08:06.:08:13.

in the mountains of Northern Iraq. Tonight, vital aid,

working flat out, assembling these purifiers. We had a call on Monday,

:08:42.:08:49.

asking for 850 jerry cans. Ht is all hands to the pump. Normally we

they were loaded onto a flight to the East Midlands, via Cyprts. They

will be dropped for the Yazhdi refugees stranded in northern Iraq.

:09:10.:09:16.

?8 million have been pledged to help the refugees. ?2 million will be

It's a great moment seeing ht thrown out of the back of a plane. More

:11:51.:11:54.

combative? Clearly, if the balance of forces on the ground shifts, and

ISO can be contained, I think the Americans are doing enough. If the

situation does not improve bank starts to deteriorate, the fact that

we have staff did to send ahd, mean they have flexibility to take a more

about the growth of life schences The companies involved turn cutting

:13:28.:13:31.

an "eco`system". Different people,

:13:32.:13:37.

with different skills, working closely together getting

:13:38.:13:39.

new businesses off the ground. Our business correspondent,

:13:40.:13:41.

Richard Bond, reports from ` life It is the biggest beast in the

:13:42.:14:04.

region's life sciences set. The Glaxo Smith Kline research Centre in

:14:05.:14:12.

Stevenage employs 2300 people. It creates jobs done could grab this.

:14:13.:14:21.

In its shadow, biotech start`ups. Already, it is full. This company is

:14:22.:14:32.

one of 40 firms here. It is developing anti`and medicinds to

:14:33.:14:34.

play steroids which have nasty side`effect. We are next door to the

:14:35.:14:46.

world' leading respiratory `nd T ` `` health centre. We can collaborate

:14:47.:14:51.

and work on a day`to`day basis with the GlaxoSmithKline. That whll help

:14:52.:14:56.

to bring medicines to the m`rket. Successful biotech research relies

:14:57.:15:03.

on people coming together whth different skills will stop

:15:04.:15:05.

financiers, entrepreneurs, researchers. They are all hdre.

:15:06.:15:11.

Cambridge University has an office here, bridging the gap betwden

:15:12.:15:16.

academic research and industry. Some researchers are on site, licensing

:15:17.:15:22.

deals with companies which bring income for the University. We bump

investing in biotech for ye`rs. This is a high risk class of invdstment.

:15:54.:15:58.

More than 90% of the sciencd investments fail. When it does

:15:59.:16:03.

succeed, it is very rewarding. I can come here and meet five or six

:16:04.:16:07.

companies in one day so it works very well for me. The ecosystem

:16:08.:16:12.

seems to be working well. Whth the catalyst full, they built another

and bring talented people together, the chemistry really does work.

Tomorrow, Richard will be fhnding out how money made in

the life sciences industry hs often ploughed back into new rese`rch

:16:32.:16:33.

including here at the Labor`tory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge.

:16:34.:16:36.

Sport now, and not the best of nights in the Capital One Ctp for

:16:37.:16:40.

our football teams, but Northampton did cause a shock. With mord on that

:16:41.:16:43.

Yes, we'll start with Norwich City who've confirmed they've suspended

:16:44.:16:48.

two fans, pending the outcole of an investigation

:16:49.:16:50.

into allegations of racist `buse at Sunday's game at Wolves.

:16:51.:16:55.

The club has confirmed "two male supporters" have been

:16:56.:17:00.

"suspended from attending g`mes at Carrow Road.

:17:01.:17:02.

The club received "numerous complaints" from Norwich

:17:03.:17:05.

They say if they're found gtilty, they face "lifetime bans".

:17:06.:17:11.

Most notably for Northampton, who knocked out Championship side

:17:12.:17:18.

While Ipswich were on the wrong end of a cup upset

:17:19.:17:23.

But we'll start with the result of the night for the Cobblers

:17:24.:17:26.

Victory in the league, now progress in a Cup. He manages has urged his

:17:27.:17:40.

side not to get too excited. Wolves macro beat Norwich at the wdekend.

:17:41.:17:46.

It took the cobbler 's 58 mhnute to achieve what the Canaries could not.

:17:47.:17:54.

Score. Ivan Tony made it to macro. Walls hit back with two in two

:17:55.:18:06.

minutes. 3`2. We took our chances, they did not take theirs. You get

:18:07.:18:10.

one opportunity and we took it. 11 years since we wouldn't's move to

:18:11.:18:15.

Milton Keynes, one decade shnce they were re`branded the dons. Once

:18:16.:18:26.

again, the new Dons beat thd old. This cup title at the tension of the

:18:27.:18:30.

previous encounter, especially when MK went three up. Emotions did boil

:18:31.:18:36.

over. Wimbledon scored a consolation. Ipswich are out and

:18:37.:18:45.

they lost 1`nil at Crawley. They have lost a position in nind of the

:18:46.:18:54.

last 12 years. I thought we did enough to have won it in thd 90

:18:55.:18:59.

minutes. Cup hopes extinguished in bed Town `` instead town must build

:19:00.:19:04.

on a winning the league. No Norwich last night,

:19:05.:19:07.

who were given a bye in round one, after being relegated

:19:08.:19:10.

from the Premier League. Not a lot to shout about

:19:11.:19:11.

for our teams. Six games, six stories of if, but

:19:12.:19:24.

and may be. Die' goal the difference. New boys, Cambrhdge

:19:25.:19:32.

made life tough for Birmingham. They took him to extra time only then to

:19:33.:19:39.

concede twice. Luton started brightly in Swindon in their first

:19:40.:19:42.

League Cup game in six years. Like Cambridge, they were undone by two

:19:43.:19:48.

late strikes. Handling outshde the area is never a good idea. The

:19:49.:19:54.

referee thought differently from the team. The first four goals followed

:19:55.:19:59.

from Charlton. At least south end knows the way to find the b`ck of a

:20:00.:20:03.

net. This screamer was the only highlight in the defeat.

:20:04.:20:09.

Peterborough hoped to sign new players but have already picked up

:20:10.:20:14.

injuries to key players. After last night's defeat to Portsmouth, they

:20:15.:20:23.

will be sorely needed. Will Sharman won his heat. Jessica Judd hs

:20:24.:20:30.

through to the semis of the 800 metres and Chris Baker avoided any

:20:31.:20:35.

major pick`ups reaching the high jump final. You can follow live

:20:36.:20:40.

coverage on BBC Two and there is a live stream from zero on thd

More than 700,000 years aftdr it walked across this region, the

mammoth is coming back to lhfe on a beach at West Runton in Norfolk.

:20:53.:20:54.

More than 700,000 years aftdr it walked across this region, the

:20:55.:21:00.

The skeleton of the mammoth was discoverdd,

:21:01.:21:01.

But for today's recreation, they've used more modern materials.

:21:02.:21:05.

In 1990, a couple when they walk along the beach and came across a

:21:06.:21:23.

mammoth bones sticking out of this stretch of cleft. Even they could

not have imagined that this would create such a stir in the world He

:21:42.:21:48.

West Runton elephant, Mark two, is on the beach. The brief was to build

beach. 700,000 years old, the elephant's remains are a testament

:22:39.:22:46.

to Norfolk's rich fossil history. 24 years on, the lady who found the

:22:47.:22:52.

first bone is back. It is awe`inspiring and brings back many

happy memories. Finally, thd moment of truth windy to wear his skin

Humongous makes his first ftll swing steps. It is exciting. We c`n feel
