I looked to see what was happening and there was a knife being held to

my stomach. Aaron relives the moment he was robbed at knife—point. It was

broad daylight and barely 100 yards from his home. You try to stay calm,

but panic starts to kick in. I've handed over my iPod, which was the

first thing I thought to give. As soon as I'd give him it, he walked

extra security. The man who robbed him, Mark Crawford from Luton, was

jailed for eight years. He was also robberies against teenagers as young

as 13. But Bedfordshire police say that robberies against teenagers

often happen on the way to school, by other teenagers. It is a worrying

trend that they say they are working hard to eliminate. Because of the

digital equipment they carry, it is months ago, there was a real issue

with street robbery. We have put a education programmes to improve

with street robbery. We have put a problem. The good news is that the

work we have put in has cut our robbery figures down dramatically.

it? We will be fine with that. We have the funds in place. We knew

that we would need to have the money, and we have got the money

ready. Even once you have paid the debt, you still need to guarantee

the club as a future. How do you do that? Today, I think we put that

behind us and before it. We have had great support from everyone across

the country and across the world. The support is there for the club.

You know, we have a new chairman who wants to take the club forward.

You know, we have a new chairman who we will do that. Talking about the

support, we heard from one fan that the club used to attract thousands

of supporters but last year, and one match only about 30 or 40 people

turned up. You will never survive if you carry on like that. That is

true. That is all in the past. We can look forward to Saturday ——

More details shortly. More than 3500 fires are caused

every year by faulty appliances in our homes. Tonight, our Inside Out

programme speaks to a couple whose house burnt down as a result. They

were rescued after their Bosch dishwasher caught fire in March.

Their four dogs were killed. They say they were never told the

dishwasher was unsafe. The makers, BSH Home Appliances, who are based

in Milton Keynes, say recall notices were publicised. From my point of

view it all seems so pointless to have lost so much for something that

could so easily have been avoided. Barry Mulcahy is the co—founder of a

website called Recall UK. Its mission — to let more people know

about faulty machines. And when I spoke to him earlier, I started by

asking him And you can see that story in full tonight on BBC One at

7.30pm. The responsibility lies with the

manufacturer and the consumer must respond to that unification.

This responsibility, does it involve writing to each order? The

legislation is very high level. Everything must be done practically

to community that to the consumer. That is one of the challenges. It is

such a high level. What does it actually mean and you have this

massive inconsistency of all the different interpretations. When I

Some people find it OK to register the islands, and other products,

that could work. What could you do to make things safer? The fact that

we have provided a website and consumers can use that to check

their products, that is the first thing. Have also recently introduced

a weekly e—mail alert facility so consumers can sign up to that. Every

week we will tell them all of the retail is we have added to the site.

That will keep them abreast of all of the 400 because that I watched

tonight on BBC One at 730. It's a shocking fact that around one

in five people who suffer from anorexia will die prematurely from

their illness. And the Norfolk—based charity Beat says the Government

needs to do much more to help. It says some patients have to wait more

than a year to start treatment. Unlike physical health problems

there are no targets for treating patients with mental health issues.

This report is from Alex Dunlop. Mandy Lynch first got ill with

anorexia at the age of 16. After asking for help she was told she

would have to wait eight months to get it. She then developed bulimia

and started to self harm. Three years later she was readmitted. At

my was I was six tonne eight. I was pretty sick! If I had been treated

initially for what I was suffering and think it would have been easier

to manage, but the longer it went the more out—of—control I felt and I

certainly struggled because of that. One out of five anorexia sufferers

die prematurely from that and this, so treatment is crucial. The Norwich

—based charity Beat asked people how long they waited before getting

help. 26% had said six months. 8% were still on a beating list after

one year and 22% paid for private treatment. We are calling for the

government to lower these waiting times so that people will know when

they will start to get treatment. They all must can become so serious

because they are having to wait so long and that can be a greater risk.

In the NHS, patients with physical health problems have a legal right

to start treatment within 18 weeks that there is no such promise for

those with mental health issues. Health Minister Norman Lamb hopes to

change that but we cannot guarantee it. I am determined that we

introduce access standards so that they know how long they will have to

wait, just as already exists with physical health. We must have

equality between mental health and physical health, I am determined to

achieve it by 2015. Now a veterinary nurse and Bishop's Stortford, Mandy

is back to full health. She wants more people to recognise that this

is not just an eating disorder but a genuine mental illness.

Thousands of small businesses in the region are still waiting for

compensation from the banks, a year after the latest mis—selling scandal

was revealed. Loans were sold to family businesses during the boom

years. But when base rates fell the firms were kept on high interest

rates, costing them thousands. A few customers have been compensated, but

the majority are still in limbo. There is a bit more stock in the

electrical store in Norfolk these days. Owner Paul Adcock can

replenish his displays after settling a bitter dispute with

Barclays that left him hundreds of thousands of pounds out of pocket.

Because of the extra charges we were having to give to the bank, over

Paul took out a loan of almost £110 to expand his shop. It was an

interest rate shop, —— swap, but when rates dropped Paul was stuck

paying high interest rates. Barclays has settled his claim. It is such a

tremendous relief and we can rebuild the business. It shows you what

small businesses can do if they grouped together even against E.

Coli of type of opposition like the banks. Around 3000 businesses in the

East are thought to have been sold interest rate swaps. They include

this Suffolk hotelier who borrowed £5 million. Seven years and he is

still waiting for compensation. We want to get on with rebuilding this

project. The amount of paperwork it generates to try to fix your case.

The sheer volume of time and energy and the thought process that could

have been put into the business. The good news for people like Colin is

that customers who have been mis—sold products will be put back

into the position they would have been without the missile. It is just

that it all takes time. So far the Financial Conduct Authority says

only 300 offers of redress have been made out of 30,000 cases nationally.

But it says most customers should have been taught the result of the

review by the end of the year. Paul Adcock is lucky to have settled. His

shop has stayed open. Other businesses have been forced to

close. Few gymnasts in the world have

progressed as quickly as Max Whitock over the last year or so. The

20—year—old who trains in Basildon rose to fame with two medals at last

summer's Olympic Games. Since then, he's become European Champion and

this weekend a World Championship silver medallist. In a moment we'll

hear from Max, but let's see how he did it in Belgium. Max Whitlock,

ready to perform. He was the reserve at the last world championships in

the space of two years he has become Britain's first choice. His new

regime in the pommel horse final was the most difficult ever seen at the

world championships. The 20—year—old had already proved his ability and

the all—round competition, finishing fourth. Here he was working his way

around a piece of apparatus made famous by his old team—mate, Louis

Smith. Max had delivered his difficult routine and the few marks

lost for execution was still good enough to lead the field. But where

there is a Japanese gymnast, there is always a challenge and his gold

medal position became silver when has Japanese competitor produced

this stunning routine. He had a score of 15.63 the two say —— to

share the same silver step on the podium. He did not win gold but had

handled the pressure which bodes well for the Rio Games and 2016.

And Max Whitlock is back home in Hertfordshire now. Congratulations,

Max, what an amazing year and you have had and another medal to add to

your collection. What was going through your mind during that whole

tension there? Thank you. The whole experience at the World

Championships was amazing for me. I wanted to go out there and enjoy it

and I did that. I was nervous, especially during the qualification,

but to get through and come out with a medal I am over the man. Why did

you decide to upgrade your strategy at elite stage? —— elite stage. I

just wanted to go there and try and gain as much experience as I could.

It is risky to make changes but hopefully it can be perfected and

ready for real 2016. You obviously had huge success at the Olympics,

have you felt extra pressure since then to keep at the top of the game?

Yes, it is a different kind of pressure, to be honest. It was

trying to prove myself but it is also trying to now live up to their

expectations. It is quite hard but I want to keep enjoying the sport.

Hopefully I can qualify for the next major competition and get more

experience. You have got bronze and silver, some say you may have been

disappointed not to get gold at the world Championships. When you

targeting that, the Rio Olympics? That would be amazing. Every sports

person wants a gold medal. I am aiming for that and working as hard

as I can for that. Gymnastics is a very difficult sport and it is down

to what ever you do on the day. Max, a fantastic achievement, great to

speak to you. Thank you for joining us.

This is the satellite image showing a break in the cloud and quite a bit

sunshine. We got up to 19 Celsius in the East. 20 Celsius for the North

Norfolk coast. By the end of the week we will have temperatures below

average, however. It will stay dry tonight with a bit of missed and

cloud for the likes of Essex. Temperatures dropping between 11 and

12 Celsius. For tomorrow, this is a cold front that will not change our

temperatures too much. We should not see too much rain either. A few

spits and sports possible. Generally a dry day for Tuesday. Temperatures

will get to 18A19 degrees Celsius. A moderate South—Westerly breeze. It

all changes on Tuesday night. Wednesday will see one or two

showers. Here is the cold front coming down from the North as it

passes through, it will bring cooler air and quite a bit of showery

weather behind it. The associated air with that, warm air in place at

the beginning of Wednesday morning. That will move southwards. Cooler

air for Wednesday night and Thursday morning. In his 19 degrees tomorrow

then we're back down to 15 degrees on Wednesday. The winds will turn
