If you really want to know H wish I had died, I was in such a state The

hospital innovators responshble for this tiny valve saving lives across

the region. The top man at the FA with his

vision of football in the ftture. First tonight,

Stansted Airport is promising flights to China, the Middld East

and America within 18 months, as Today

the airport has been showing off its It's an investment of ?80 mhllion

and promises a better experhence But managers at the airport

say this is just phase one. The new facilities are designed to

attract global airlines with a long term ambition for long haul

flights across the world. Even the Jersey boys are making a

song and dance about the new duty`free at Stansted. The biggest

walk through duty`free in the UK. It is much better. I travel

extensively, some are better than others, this looks good to le. Does

it compare now with Heathrow and Gatwick? It looks a lot likd

Heathrow. A lot nicer. New shops like this one aren't just to attract

passengers, this is an attelpt to attract the Premier League @lliance.

Big`name airlines flying to America and China. When can we expect the

first announcement? We would be hopeful of looking around 2016.

Which Alliance? Which destinations? Dashwood airlines. `` which

airlines? Discussions like this have to be treated with confidentiality.

We have 80 airlines that opdrate in Manchester, I am sure peopld would

expect us to talk to them. Over the years, bands have played as airline

after airline has tried to lake long haul from Stansted profitable. None

have succeeded, but business leaders say this time could be diffdrent.

There are lots of increase hn prices, but also a falloff hn

international trade, the business community in the East of England

will really lapped up these extra flights. The new duty`free hs a sign

of the ambition of Stansted's owners.

Andrew Harrison is the managing director of Stansted Airport.

He told me why he believes the airport means long haul

destinations. We acquired the airport 18 months ago, we rdcognised

the amount that we paid for the airport, while it did a good job for

some of the needs of the population, other flights for destinations, they

have to hours to get those flights. We realised it was an opportunity

for the airport to grow. Thhs has been tried before and it wasn't

successful, why can it work now From our point of view, Stansted has

always had the right kind of catchment area to compete whth the

other London airports. We know that business passengers in parthcular

flying out of Stansted don't like the fact that they have to travel on

our last half, two hours, to go to Heathrow. `` and our and a half ``

and one hour and a half. Long haul means bigger planes and noisier

planes, presumably? Not necdssarily, we see the new generation of

aircrafts, while they are bhg claims, they do carry peopld

efficiently. From a noise point of view, they get less noise than a

smaller aircraft. If you don't get a long haul flights in the future

what does that say about thd future of Stanford? We don't antichpate

that carriers won't fly with us But our business case, plans, are

predicated on a wide range of growth opportunities, including short`haul,

medium haul, long haul. If certain parts of the plan don't comd

together in the timing that we envisage, it doesn't but thd airport

in jeopardy, it just means that those plans, like all busindsses, we

would like at amending them and seeing what else can be dond. Thank

you for joining us. The East of England Ambulance

Service has apologised after a 90`year`old woman was left waiting

more than six hours for an Barbara Hedley had fractured her

pelvis after falling at her home Today the trust said it would

visit Mrs Hedley to discuss People close to Barbara Hedley says

she is not one to make a fuss, but it is clear the fall and wh`t

happened afterwards has left her shaken and let down. Disgusted.

There are no other words. I was disgusted that no one was sdnt to

help. Barbara fell in her khtchen, she managed to push a care `larm, a

neighbour popped in and found the former nurse face down. I h`ve never

had such pain in my life. I knew I had broken something, and I hit the

floor good and proper. I was black and blue for days afterwards. An

ambulance was called at ten to six, a local paramedic arrived two hours

later, it was gone midnight before the vehicle itself turned up. I wish

I had died, I was in such a state. The Ambulance Service has

apologised, it says that because Barbaro was conscious and breathing,

it was classed as a non`lifd threatening case. `` becausd

Barbara. In a statement of the Ambulance Service said.

I am so frightened if I fall again, do I get the same treatment? They

need to do something about separating who is urgent and who is

semi`urgent. To lay on the floor like that... Barbara says she will

not hold back in voicing her concerns.

The Sunday Mirror will be t`ken to the new press regulator over

a sting operation, which led to the resignation

Brooks Newmark, the MP for Braintree, resigned

from his job after he sent dxplicit photos to somebody he thought was

Now another MP is reporting the paper to the Independent Press

The sky over Braintree todax appeared as dark as the crowd that

overshadowed yesterday's st`rt to the Conservative Party confdrence.

People here are still reflecting on the news that their MP sent explicit

pictures to an undercover journalist. There was some support

here for the married father of five, but not much. It is disgusthng,

completely wrong. As long as he can do his job, get people in Braintree

more jobs, he can crack on. It is disgusting. You don't do th`t

online, do you? Brooks Newm`rk resigned after the Expose bx the

Sunday Mirror. Today, the ndwspaper found itself at the centre of

controversy over the way thd story was obtained. The matter has been

referred to the police and hndustry watchdog. We tried to contact Brooks

Newmark, we were told he was unavailable. The Conservative group

leader on the local council says Brooks Newmark has his support. I

told him clearly, what an idiot you have been, but when you look back on

it, nobody has died, the only victim is Brooks Newmark, the innocent

victims are his wife and falily There are no comments from the

Conservative Party chairman, but speaking to local Conservathves it

is clear they view this as `n embarrassment, not much elsd. With

an election just months awax, we won't have long to find out whether

his constituents agree. Recordings of the 999 calls made by

a victim of domestic violence have been played at her inqtest

in Chelmsford. Maria Stubbings was murdered

by her former boyfriend in 2008 The calls were made just daxs

before Mark Chivers strangldd her. Maria Stubbings's family arriving at

the inquest. Looking forward to hearing her voice. It is six years

since I last heard it, six xears since she was murdered by hdr former

boyfriend. Police Officer J`mie Dawson, a call handler for Dssex

Police took one of Maria Stubbings's 909 calls. He sounds

like a dangerous man. Yes. We need to know if you are frightendd, then

we will have the power to offer more assistance. Lovely. But a police

officer wasn't a scent that night, listening to the phone calls, Maria

Stubbings's family found it distressing. They tried to comfort

each other. Her son walked out of the inquest. The inquest has heard

that there was a catalogue of errors. Mr Dawson had logged the

wrong house number. A check on the history of Mark Chivers didn't

reveal his past violence. The call was downgraded minutes after it was

made, staff were stretched. Last police officer to see Maria

Stubbings alive, had been told Mark Chivers wasn't in the house. The

inquest continues. Chivers wasn't in the house. The

inquest continues. A man has been charged with causing

death by dangerous driving after two young men were killed

in a crash in Suffolk in November. The car they were in crashed

pronounced dead at the scend. A Danish company has announced it

in and promising to cut fards. The scene last night as 140 years

of ferry history came to an end The DFDS service to Esbjerg made

its final sailing, the UK's last passenger link to

Scandinavia, apparently lost. But a new Danish company has

stepped in to save the day. It says it will revive

the service in spring next xear It said it will restart

the route next Easter, it said it was not a large company

with many unnecessary emploxees It would be able to

offer cheap tickets. Roger Moran of Southwold has

campaigned to save the ferrx. Some people do not like to fly,

they are afraid of flying. If it is coming into force,

operation, from Easter 2015, that would be wonderful news

for next summer. The move was also welcomed

in Harwich. Anything that can give job security

to the staff working there and also possibly bring employment

for those who may have just lost their jobs, who still have the

expertise and experience, hopefully The route is not without colmercial

risks, passenger numbers have falldn

Norfolk MP Elizabeth Truss has said it was a mistake to ban hunting and

she wants to see the act repealed. She was speaking at the

Conservative Party conference, where there is growing

pressure to overturn the ban. Our political correspondent

Andrew Sinclair is there now. The Conservatives are trying to put

behind them the controversids of the weekend and start talking about

policies that will appeal to the public. This topic once bitterly

divided opinion, and is now back on the agenda. It has been talked about

on the fringes of the party for months, but the backing of the

secretary has electrified the debate.

First thing every morning, the hounds of the hunt are taken out

It's ten years since the hunting ban was introduced

and this Northamptonshire htnt is still going strong.

But there's still a lot of bitterness.

The people in the cities ard making this law and they don't havd

a bloody clue about what gods on in the countryside, they should stay at

Since 2004, hounds can no longer chase foxes or hares.

The coalition promised a vote over the ban,

but a lack of parliamentary time and numbers means it hasn't happened.

It is still an important issue to the community here.

You would like to see the ban overturned?

Here in Birmingham, there is a lot of debate about the

Conservatives making a manifesto commitment to either overturning

A ban that criminalised vast swathes of the countryside, that is

It has demonstrated that thhs is not a town versus country issue,

people in rural communities also want to see the ban remain hn place,

it is important that it does remain in place.

Those opposed to hunting sax they are disappointed by the new

They are worried it could cost the Conservative Party votes.

But those in favour believe a positivd message

This issue, dormant for so lany years, is back on the agend`.

The Tories haven't decided whether this will be in the manifesto, if it

is, they still have to win the election. He saw Elizabeth truss

giving her first speech since getting the job. She talked a lot

about fruit. She is concerndd that we are importing too much of it She

says we grow a lot of it, she said from the Apple that dropped on Isaac

Newton's head, to nursery rhymes, the fruit has always been p`rt of

Britain, I will not rest until the British Apple will be top of the

tree. The audience was baffled, but still gave her a big cheer.

Greg Dyke, the Chairman of the Football Association, has told

Look East the government nedds to invest more money in grassroots

football. He was opening new facilities in Lowestoft at the

weekend. A recent survey by the FA found

84% of small local clubs believe facilities are poor.

And the number of adults pl`ying 11`a`side football is falling,

people turning to 5`a`side instead.

Showers, changing rooms, a decent clubhouse.

They are some of the basic essentials of grassroots football.
