Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight: | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
A care home worker secretly filmed sleeping on the job is convicted of | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
wilfully neglecting an 83-year-old man. That and the rest of today's | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
top stories with Janine Machin. He wasn't found to have held the | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
gun but was jailed for firearm and rioting offences. Now the family of | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
Wayne Collins fight against his 18 year sentence. Yes, he was there, | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
there is no denying that, we have never denied that but Wayne did | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
nothing and to be sentenced to 18 years for doing nothing other than | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
being on the streets, is outrageous. Banned for biting and bad behaviour, | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
but now he's back to skipper the Saints. But is the club's faith in | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Dylan Hartley sending out the wrong message? | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
And, forget the ferry, we meet the Cambridge man swimming from | :01:00. | :01:10. | |
:01:10. | :01:16. | ||
Good evening. We begin tonight with the news that | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
a care home worker accused of wilful neglect has been found | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
guilty in court this afternoon. Jackie Ndoro failed to help an 83- | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
year-old man who had collapsed at the Limes in Henlow. Her bosses had | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
become suspicious of her work and secretly filmed her. Anna Todd | :01:30. | :01:39. | |
:01:40. | :01:40. | ||
reports. Care home managers Joan Wilkinson | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
and her son, Kevin, happy leaving court today. Mr Wilkinson doubted | :01:47. | :01:56. | |
the care he was getting from Jackie Ndoro so much that he installed | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
cameras. The court heard that there was no urgency and a man was | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
eventually manhandled into a wheelchair after he was lying on | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
the floor. We have suspicions so I took the chance to put a CCTV | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
camera up and we caught her. So, it is one more gone. This sense that | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
issued message across the whole care community across the whole of | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
the UK, that we should treat vulnerable people with respect. | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
Jackie Ndoro was also filmed asleep on the job and she strenuously | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
denied wilful neglect throughout the trial. Now she could face up to | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
five years in prison. Two due care about him? Yes, that | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
is where I picked him up. I picked him up within two minutes and 23 | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
seconds and I used a wheelchair which was the only thing available | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
to me at the time. Unfortunately people choose to do whatever they | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
want to choose and I do not think this judgment is fair. There were | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
shrieks and sobs of joy from the public gallery as the guilty | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
verdict was read out. Jackie Ndoro's colleague who was filled | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
with her on that night is still at large. Police have about to find | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
her and bring her to trial. -- police have fouled the to find her | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
and bring her to trial. A Luton man serving an 18 year jail | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
sentence for a crime he claims he didn't commit is fighting to clear | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
his name. Wayne Collins says he was innocently caught up in the | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Birmingham riots two years ago when the pub he was drinking in was | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
petrol bombed. Now his aunt has gathered 8,000 signatures on a | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
petition to clear his name and she's hoping for a Luton MP to | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
support her as Ben Bland reports. August 2011 and in Birmingham men | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
attacked this park and when police arrived shots were fired at police | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
officers. Oh aren't they are people there, Wayne Collins, who is now | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
serving a in 18 year sentence for his part in the riots. He did not | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
do anything. He is aunt is leading a campaign to get his conviction | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
and sentence overturned and. Yes, he was there and there is no | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
denying it and we have never denied it but he did nothing. To be | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
sentenced to 18 years for doing nothing other than being on the | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
streets is outrageous. A reason he was given an 18 year sentences | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
because he was part of a group in which someone else had a gun and | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
shot at police. We are appealing against that conviction and | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
sentence. The basis of the appeal against the conviction is that when | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
the firearm was being discharged he was no way near and he was running | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
away from it and there is no evidence he knew the man with a | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
firearm and there is no participation in a shooting. He has | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
been convicted under the law of joint enterprise so he was not | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
accused of starting the fires of shooting at the police themselves. | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
If you have a group of people who have all participated in some way | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
towards an outcome that the law participate -- classified as a | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
crime, there is a part of the law that once the more to be | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
responsible but the question is what they are responsible for. | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
Joint enterprise allows you to accommodate almost the entire group | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
for the most serious crime that takes place among step. In a state | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
than the Ministry of Justice defended the law on joint | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
enterprise, saying it has enabled some of the most serious offenders | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
to be brought to justice. Meanwhile Wayne Collins will find out in the | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
autumn whether the court will give him permission to appeal. | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
On the day the Government announced the biggest population boom for 40 | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
years, from villages in south Cambridgeshire have expressed fury | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
over plans to build 5,000 new homes. The council is inviting the public | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
to have its say on the proposals which include a new village in | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Bourn, a new town at Waterbeach and a major expansion of Cambourne. | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
This is in addition to the 14,000 already agreed in the current local | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
plan including the new town at Northstowe. All of the homes would | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
be built by 2031. The council is also consulting on a draft | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
transport strategy for the developments. | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
More homes needed it to serve a booming population, but nobody | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
wants them near them. These are the plans for the public to discuss. | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
What is the story behind the fight? 3,500 new houses could be built | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
here at this airfield. Behind me is the new town of Cambourne growing | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
ever closer and just come along here with me because on the other | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
side of the road is the proposed site for where the new development | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
would be. Those living in the nearby village of furious. We do | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
not wanted here because there are no jobs in this part of the count | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
tree and the infrastructure cannot cope and we already have Cambourne | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
and Cambourne and the airfield will coalesce into a huge new town and | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
that is a huge new town by stealth and is not fair. If the development | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
goes ahead it would mean the end to the airfield which lost over 100 | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
Bomber Command an aircraft during the Second World War. Today key | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
decision-makers were answering questions in Cambourne on whether | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
roads and essential services that are struggling now would be able to | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
cope with even more homes. We know as a district we have to find | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
additional homes, not only for the people will are looking for homes | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
locally and the demand in the villages already but as new jobs | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
are right. Just look at the companies that are planning to come | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
here to the south of Cambridge in three years' time. The birth rate | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
hearing Cambourne have been higher than expected. A school that is | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
still being built has already becomes fully subscribe. We have | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
learned from the past and we are absolutely clear that as these new | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
developments like Northstowe come forward, it is critical to get the | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
infrastructure like the schools in place before the people move in. | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
Talk to people here and everyone has a different view. There was a | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
lot of fuss about Campbell when it was done but all the people in the | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
villages that made all the fuss other one that now use all the | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
amenities up here. We need a larger medical practice. They cannot cope. | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
God knows what will happen if we get it more houses. Only a few | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
months ago that we came here and it is brilliant for the children. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
of the housing would be affordable and now with the chance to have | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
your say. Well, earlier I asked Councillor | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
Pippa Corney, who has responsibility for planning in | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
South Cambridgeshire if the problem was not the lack of housing but | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
that people simply couldn't afford to buy them. There are a number of | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
problems. But with a lot of new development we can bring forward | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
more affordable housing so we should be up to 40% on some of the | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
big developments and that will hopefully be a bit more affordable | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
to people. Let us look at the sighting of the new homes. A P | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
Billing Cambourne say that Campbell is big enough. They say they have | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
had enough and more she places should be found. -- people in a | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
Cambourne. We design and landscaping we can overcome a lot | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
of the concerns. Can you overcome the transport concerns? We are | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
working closely with their county but we think we have a solution. It | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
is early days but the good thing is that by having these developments | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
close together we can put a reasonable amount of money in to | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
get the infrastructure we need. 19,500 homes, will it be enough? | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
hope so. That is what we have worked out but as I say, we cannot | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
predict economic upturns and downturns but looking at what we | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
have done in the past and the figures in the future, we are | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
fairly confident we have got it right. 2031 is when you are looking | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
at having become -- of these houses complete, that looks like a long | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
way off. Is it too late? It is not too late. In five years' time we | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
will update our plan and we could take into account the things that | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
have gone on in the next five years. We have to plan for something I | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Waterbeach, if you look at Northstowe, it has been in the | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
pipeline for 13 years and we have not laid to break so it takes a | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
long time to bring forward big towns. The messages that these | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
homes are needed and they will go somewhere. Absolutely. The problem | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
is that we are listening but we cannot always agree with everybody. | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
I have the unenviable job of the fact that I will upset somebody | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
whatever we do and whatever decision we make. We will always | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
put something somewhere that someone does not like a matter of | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
fact and we cannot get away from it. It was far from the perfect end to | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
last season for Northampton Saints Skipper Dylan Hartley. He was sent | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
off for swearing at the referee. He missed the Lions tour because of an | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
11 week ban and is no stranger to bad behaviour, having previously | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
bitten a player. But today it was announced that he'll remain as | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
Captain for the club. But some are questioning whether that sends out | :10:52. | :11:01. | |
the wrong message. James Burridge is at Franklins Gardens now. James, | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
what's the club had to say about this? | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
They are behind it. I have spoken to the director of rugby and since | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
his sending off in the Premiership final in May, they were defending | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
and then and they spoke to him of sight and supported him and this is | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
what they said earlier. It is always a big decision, getting your | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
captain right. We are confident that we have got the right man. He | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
has been our captain now for five seasons and we know what he is | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
capable of. The lad's love him and respect him and he does a brilliant | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
job on and off the field at Northampton Saints. He has made | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
some mistakes in the past as we all have but it is all about sticking | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
together, working hard and learning from those mistakes and move | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
forwards. Whatever reaction been from others in at Northampton? | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
has been mixed across the town. We have spoken to many about it and I | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
think they will be split regardless. It was a black or white decision | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
what people think about what he did. The list is not great if you look | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
at it but in here, behind these walls, he has put a lot of blood | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
and sweat and tears into the success of this club and he is very | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
much the reason why they have performed so well in recent years. | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
He was skippering the side and he has the public backing of Stuart | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
Lancaster but in the past hour he has given an interview to Radio | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
Northampton that you can hear on the Breakfast Programme tomorrow | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
morning at 6am. Thank you very much. A mass open-air prayer service has | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
been held today in Northampton. It's the Muslim festival of Eid | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
which is traditionally celebrated with a morning prayer and marks the | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
end of Ramadan. Northampton's Muslim communities held the service | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
on the Racecourse. It was then followed by a fun day for families. | :12:53. | :13:00. |
