Up In The programme tonight: Three party goers are left fighting for

:00:14.:00:19.

their lives after an event at a Bedfordshire farm turns violent

:00:20.:00:25.

Shot on the way to work. Tonight in his first TV interview victim Atif

:00:26.:00:29.

Ali talks of the moment that almost cost him his life. I was told by a

:00:30.:00:39.

doctor `lost something like 18 bags of blood.

:00:40.:00:43.

East to east. The local companies working hard to build export links

:00:44.:00:45.

to China. And the village that's been going

:00:46.:00:47.

bonkers for conkers. Good evening. First tonight: It

:00:48.:01:01.

began as a party and ended with three people fighting for their

:01:02.:01:02.

lives. A major police investigation is

:01:03.:01:05.

under way this evening after a series of stabbings which detectives

:01:06.:01:10.

are treating as attempted murder. It happened in the early hours of

:01:11.:01:13.

Sunday morning after hundreds of people turned up at a party in a

:01:14.:01:17.

rural barn in Begwary, a village near St Neots on the

:01:18.:01:20.

Bedfordshire`Cambridgeshire border. Neil Bradford is there for us this

:01:21.:01:32.

evening. Behind the police cordon, the aftermath of a party that has

:01:33.:01:36.

come to an abrupt end is clear to see. The ground is strewn with beer

:01:37.:01:41.

cans and beer bottles, deflated balloons. This marquee is partially

:01:42.:01:50.

collapsed. Things turned sour around 2:30am in Sunday morning. Four young

:01:51.:01:54.

men were stabbed. In their dozens, they came here to

:01:55.:01:59.

party. Hours after arriving, many found themselves at the centre of a

:02:00.:02:03.

crime scene. Four men in their 0s were stabbed in the early hours of

:02:04.:02:07.

Sunday morning. Police were only alerted more than an hour after the

:02:08.:02:11.

attacks. Three of the young men are fighting for their lives in

:02:12.:02:16.

hospital. The organised event was advertised on social media sites. It

:02:17.:02:21.

is not the farmer was not aware it was taking place. Over 200 people

:02:22.:02:27.

turned up to the isolated location. Detectives want all partygoers to

:02:28.:02:33.

come forward. We want to speak to anybody who was there. If you were

:02:34.:02:38.

at that event, please talk to us. We don't mind the reason you whether

:02:39.:02:42.

what you were doing, but if you have any information, please get in

:02:43.:02:49.

touch. Tonight, police remain at the scene as they continue their

:02:50.:02:53.

investigation into why this apparent celebration turned so violent.

:02:54.:02:59.

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, but

:03:00.:03:02.

police believe there may be three offenders, all in their late 20s.

:03:03.:03:08.

They are keen to trace a blue Vauxhall Vectra car that was seen

:03:09.:03:13.

here at the party and later at Bedford Hospital. There were more

:03:14.:03:17.

than 200 people at this party on Saturday night into Sunday morning.

:03:18.:03:20.

Police say they are not interested in whether the people should have

:03:21.:03:23.

been here why they were here, they just need them to come forward. They

:03:24.:03:29.

can do so ominously through the number.

:03:30.:03:35.

` ` through the Crimestoppers number.

:03:36.:03:38.

A man seriously injured in a shooting as he travelled to work has

:03:39.:03:41.

given his first television interview for the BBC Crimewatch programme.

:03:42.:03:44.

27``year`old Atif Ali from Luton needed seven operations after he was

:03:45.:03:48.

shot in the leg in May. It's still not clear why he was targeted, but

:03:49.:03:51.

detectives hope a reconstruction broadcast tonight will give them new

:03:52.:03:55.

leads. Jo Black reports. It began M any other morning

:03:56.:04:01.

commute, but for Atif Ali, it nearly cost him his life. Five months ago,

:04:02.:04:06.

the trainee accountant was shot in his leg. In his first television

:04:07.:04:15.

interview on Crimewatch tonight the 27`year`old recalls the events of

:04:16.:04:25.

that day. I just went to rob the bumper to save there was any damage.

:04:26.:04:29.

As I was getting back to my car I heard a bang. A CCTV camera records

:04:30.:04:39.

the silver Audi. He is being followed by a black Audi and the

:04:40.:04:44.

silver Mondeo. Police are yet to trace the car or a man seen leaving

:04:45.:04:48.

the area. They have released these images in the hope of tracing them.

:04:49.:04:54.

Atif Ali is at a loss as to why his journey to work ended in such a

:04:55.:04:57.

dramatic fashion. He hence family have offered a ?15,000 reward for

:04:58.:05:05.

information. I am confident that there are people out there who know

:05:06.:05:09.

who has done this, and why. I would ask those people to come forward and

:05:10.:05:19.

contact the police. Detectives say Atif is lucky to be alive, but he is

:05:20.:05:25.

left with life changing injuries. I was told I lost something

:05:26.:05:29.

approximately around 18 bags of blood. Atif is making good progress

:05:30.:05:37.

in his recovery. He hopes detectives can soon say the same about their

:05:38.:05:40.

hunt for those responsible. Officers investigating the murder of

:05:41.:05:43.

Micah Urqhart from Luton have launched a new appeal for

:05:44.:05:49.

information. The 19`year`old was found with fatal injuries on

:05:50.:05:51.

Hastings St on Friday September 13th. He died at the scene.

:05:52.:05:56.

Bedfordshire Police are trying to discover where the teenager was in

:05:57.:06:00.

the hours leading up to his death. He was last captured on CCTV at a

:06:01.:06:04.

corner shop on Chapel Street, close to where his body was found.

:06:05.:06:12.

Opponents of a big new housing development in Cambridgeshire handed

:06:13.:06:16.

in their official objections today. They're against plans for 3,500 new

:06:17.:06:20.

homes on Bourn Airfield, homes that South Cambridgeshire district

:06:21.:06:23.

council says are needed. In the next 20 years, up to 40,000 new homes

:06:24.:06:26.

could be built across Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire. In addition to

:06:27.:06:29.

the 3,500 homes planned at Bourn Airfield, 9,000 houses could be

:06:30.:06:34.

built at Waterbeach. And there's already a plan in place to create

:06:35.:06:37.

Northstowe, a whole new town, with up to 10,000 homes there. Behind the

:06:38.:06:49.

smiles, serious concerns. Objections to the plans for a new development

:06:50.:06:54.

of homes. The counsellor in charge of planning that some of the

:06:55.:07:02.

protesters today. If this is ` ` is this a familiar cry of not in my

:07:03.:07:07.

backyard. That is unfair. We are saying, draw the line somewhere

:07:08.:07:17.

10,000 houses is effectively in Newtown, in a row. Much of the

:07:18.:07:22.

opposition is from people in the surrounding villages. There is a

:07:23.:07:26.

shortage of homes in Cambridgeshire, and with thousands

:07:27.:07:29.

of new jobs being created, there will be an even greater demand in

:07:30.:07:33.

future. That is the site all the fuss is about. People opposed to say

:07:34.:07:41.

look up close cities hear. They fear that the two will expand and

:07:42.:07:45.

eventually merge, and effectively create a new town. The other

:07:46.:07:50.

proposal is to create a new town of 9000 homes on disused barracks. Many

:07:51.:07:59.

people are opposed to that. Their opinions are important to was, but

:08:00.:08:02.

we have to get the balance. We need houses. They have got to go

:08:03.:08:07.

somewhere. We are going to upset some people, we know that, but we

:08:08.:08:15.

are listening. The public consultation has now closed. The

:08:16.:08:18.

council says it will consider all the responses and make any changes

:08:19.:08:25.

to it plans over the next year. They've spent decades fighting to

:08:26.:08:27.

protect services and tonight campaigners in Royston say they ve

:08:28.:08:34.

finally saved their local hospital. Last summer, wards at the site on

:08:35.:08:38.

London Road were closed and a question mark hung over the future

:08:39.:08:41.

of outpatient facilities. But after a meeting with MPs on Friday, the

:08:42.:08:44.

NHS has said it's drafting new plans for the site. It's likely that it

:08:45.:08:48.

will include clinics, NHS beds, a care home and a GP surgery. This is

:08:49.:08:59.

good news. It is a step forward in the right direction. There is a good

:09:00.:09:03.

way to go yet. We have had meetings with the NHS. There have been very

:09:04.:09:09.

good. They have listened to what we said and reconsidered the original

:09:10.:09:16.

plan. They are willing to change. They could mean the difference

:09:17.:09:22.

between life and death. Every year 60,000 people in the UK have a heart

:09:23.:09:26.

attack while going about their daily business. For many, a defibrillator

:09:27.:09:31.

is used to revive them. Now Bedfordshire Fire Service has become

:09:32.:09:34.

the first in the country to install the life`saving equipment in public

:09:35.:09:42.

buildings across the county. In Bedfordshire, every firefighter is

:09:43.:09:50.

shown how to use defibrillators An automated voice takes them through

:09:51.:09:56.

it step`by`step. Now the service is helping the public at their hands on

:09:57.:10:01.

the machines as well. Placed in boxes outside village halls, fire

:10:02.:10:06.

stations and even inside their old telephone box. If people needed it

:10:07.:10:12.

for heart conditions, it could definitely be helpful. There

:10:13.:10:16.

reconstructions with it and people to ring, so yes, you would give it a

:10:17.:10:24.

go. In these times, I am sure there are other things it would be

:10:25.:10:27.

worthwhile for the money to be spent on. Once you dial 999, the operator

:10:28.:10:34.

will give you the location of the nearest box. The Fire Service is

:10:35.:10:41.

doing this because we have focused for the last decade on saving lives.

:10:42.:10:50.

Why would we not want to do something about our nation's biggest

:10:51.:10:58.

killer? The Fire Service and Borough Council have spent ?80,000

:10:59.:11:03.

installing them. You have around 5% chance of surviving a cardiac arrest

:11:04.:11:10.

without a defibrillator. Chest compression is raised up to 12%

:11:11.:11:14.

With a defibrillator, it is raised to 50%.

:11:15.:11:25.

Will people use it? I think so. Nearly 13 have been installed. The

:11:26.:11:28.

yellow boxes will appear in more public places soon.

:11:29.:11:38.

The Olympic javelin thrower Goldie Sayers from Cambridgeshire is one of

:11:39.:11:42.

a number of high`profile GB athletes to lose their lottery funding for

:11:43.:11:45.

next season. Sayers came fourth at the Beijing Games in 2008 but

:11:46.:11:48.

struggled with injury at London 2012. UK Sport, the body which

:11:49.:11:51.

distributes the funding, has narrowed its criteria. That means

:11:52.:11:53.

only athletes considered medal contenders for the Rio 2016 Olympics

:11:54.:11:56.

are eligible. Previously, the emphasis had been on the likelihood

:11:57.:11:57.

of making a final. summing up the case tomorrow

:11:58.:12:01.

morning. There is a lot more to come on Look

:12:02.:12:19.

East tonight. We will have all the action from the world conker

:12:20.:12:26.

Championships. As you may have seen, the Chancellor

:12:27.:12:29.

George Osborne is leading a delegation of political and trade

:12:30.:12:32.

figures to China. The visit is designed to encourage more trade

:12:33.:12:35.

between the UK and the world's second biggest economy. Here in the

:12:36.:12:41.

east, we're the main route for Chinese goods into the UK through

:12:42.:12:45.

the port of Felixstowe. But as our business correspondent Richard Bond

:12:46.:12:47.

reports, the challenge now is to sell British products back to China.

:12:48.:12:53.

We think of China as a source of cheap imports, it is and they flow

:12:54.:12:57.

into the UK through Felixstowe on their way to our shops, but China

:12:58.:13:05.

also buys from Britain. Ransomes Jacobson in Ipswich makes commercial

:13:06.:13:10.

mowers for golf courses. The growth of the sport in China has opened up

:13:11.:13:14.

a whole new market for this long established business. We already

:13:15.:13:18.

sell millions of pounds worth of machines into China. It is predicted

:13:19.:13:24.

to be a growth market with over 1000 courses in the next ten years,

:13:25.:13:29.

potentially. We think we are well positioned to capitalise on that so

:13:30.:13:33.

China could become one of our largest markets. Exports to China

:13:34.:13:38.

from the Eastern region are growing fast, up 9% in the last year.

:13:39.:13:54.

China's new rich want to buy cars like Jaguars and land Rovers, good

:13:55.:14:00.

news for staff in this factory who make suspension units. They have

:14:01.:14:04.

just introduced a night shift to keep up with demand. I think in the

:14:05.:14:08.

Western countries we have heard for a long time there was a growing

:14:09.:14:12.

middle class in China and that market would be opened up and the

:14:13.:14:16.

middle class would be able to afford some of the products we have enjoyed

:14:17.:14:21.

in the west for quite a while. I think that is driving sales growth

:14:22.:14:26.

now. It is not just suspension units that end up in Jaguars and land

:14:27.:14:32.

Rovers bought by prosperous consumers in China. This British

:14:33.:14:37.

factory in Linton is owned by the Chinese as well. Chinese investors

:14:38.:14:41.

owned quite a few of our regional assets. UK power networks which

:14:42.:14:47.

distribute electricity to our homes, the port of Felixstowe, Essex

:14:48.:14:54.

and Suffolk water. In trading terms, China holds the advantage

:14:55.:15:00.

over us, they sell a lot more to us than we sell to them. This mower is

:15:01.:15:08.

going to Felixstowe to be shipped to China.

:15:09.:15:19.

Just to let you know, Look East is planning its own broadcast from

:15:20.:15:22.

China to report on that growing trade link. If you are currently

:15:23.:15:25.

doing business with China and you'd like to tell us about it, do get in

:15:26.:15:30.

touch. You can phone, send an email or contact us through social media.

:15:31.:15:33.

We look forward to hearing from you. Churches in Essex are to help

:15:34.:15:36.

villagers get better access to the Internet by having transmitters put

:15:37.:15:39.

on their steeples. Up to 100 churches in the Diocese of

:15:40.:15:42.

Chelmsford could be used to boost broadband speeds. For hundreds of

:15:43.:15:44.

years, village churches have given solace and sanctuary. Now some are

:15:45.:15:48.

about to provide something thoroughly modern as well. This is a

:15:49.:15:55.

village near Colchester and the Internet connection here is

:15:56.:15:59.

painfully slow but the church could be about to bring the village

:16:00.:16:08.

superfast broadband. The Government aims to get superfast broadband to

:16:09.:16:16.

90% of us, but more raw rural areas might miss out. This company aims to

:16:17.:16:23.

put transmitters on the steeples of churches making it available to

:16:24.:16:29.

everyone. The equipment we use is about the size of a child's pencil

:16:30.:16:32.

case. It should not have any impact on the church and in some instances

:16:33.:16:39.

we even pop facades around the equipment so it will blend. I think

:16:40.:16:43.

this is a case of the church keeping in step with modern times. The

:16:44.:16:49.

church warden here says the village's broadband signal does need

:16:50.:16:54.

to be improved. I always call it narrowband and that is what we have

:16:55.:16:58.

got. A lot of people in the village are running businesses, very often

:16:59.:17:03.

small businesses from home. There is also the farmers and these people

:17:04.:17:11.

desperately need broadband. Up to 106 churches could eventually have a

:17:12.:17:17.

transmitter on the steeple. Next tonight: Food. And, more to the

:17:18.:17:20.

point, just how safe are the products we buy from the

:17:21.:17:23.

supermarkets? It's a subject being covered on tonight's Inside Out

:17:24.:17:25.

programme. Simon Newton's been looking at the findings.

:17:26.:17:36.

Thanks David. The recent horse meat scandal focused attention on where

:17:37.:17:38.

our food comes from. Tonight, Inside Out looks at the growth of so`called

:17:39.:17:44.

food fraud. The team look at how it's on the rise and the East

:17:45.:17:48.

Anglian scientists at the forefront of combating it. We talk to Tesco

:17:49.:17:52.

about the horse meat scandal and the chances of it ever happening again

:17:53.:17:55.

and we discover how even humble honey can be tampered with. There

:17:56.:17:58.

are three different ways you can fraudulently sell horny. One is

:17:59.:18:02.

using imported honey and selling it labelled as British when it is

:18:03.:18:06.

clearly not. You can also mix honey with corn syrup. There have been

:18:07.:18:11.

reports of honey detected with corn syrup and on each so it is actually

:18:12.:18:17.

a mixture. The third way is actually just feeding these sugar syrup,

:18:18.:18:22.

which creates a kind of honey like substance but it has no pollen in

:18:23.:18:36.

it. Well the programme also examines how Trading Standards officers like

:18:37.:18:39.

the one I met today are under increasing pressure to test the

:18:40.:18:42.

provenance of food at the same time as their budgets are being slashed.

:18:43.:18:45.

We have to be intelligence led to make sure we can do more with less

:18:46.:18:48.

resources and that means looking at the intelligence in the

:18:49.:18:50.

marketplace, the history and the trends that we have dealt with. We

:18:51.:18:55.

have liaised with the food standards agency to identify areas where food

:18:56.:19:00.

fraud is likely to be occurring. Commodities markets where there is a

:19:01.:19:06.

big incentive for food fraud to take place and we need to be more

:19:07.:19:10.

effective in making sure the samples are more likely to identify

:19:11.:19:20.

problems. So find out how confident you can be in your food in Inside

:19:21.:19:29.

Out at 7.30. Gareth Southgate, the manager of

:19:30.:19:32.

England's Under 21 side, has today urged clubs in the Championship to

:19:33.:19:35.

reduce their reliance on foreign players. In effect, he would like to

:19:36.:19:38.

see clubs like Ipswich Town introduce a cap on overseas stars.

:19:39.:19:41.

Gareth Southgate was speaking in Colchester where the young England

:19:42.:19:44.

side are training ahead of tomorrow night's international against

:19:45.:19:51.

Lithuania. The match is being played at Portman Road, the home of

:19:52.:19:54.

Ipswich. Our sports editor Jonathan Park reports. This is the future of

:19:55.:20:02.

English football, the under 21s being put through their paces.

:20:03.:20:07.

Tomorrow they face Lithuania in a European championship qualifier at

:20:08.:20:13.

Portman Road followed by the senior team's make or break clash with

:20:14.:20:19.

Poland at Wembley. The impact of qualifying or not qualifying is

:20:20.:20:23.

enormous to every aspect of our society really. I was discussing

:20:24.:20:27.

this with Roy last week. You get a feel of exactly what it means and

:20:28.:20:31.

feel of the pressure the team are under and maybe when I was playing I

:20:32.:20:36.

didn't quite realise that so much, which was a good thing! There is a

:20:37.:20:42.

lot of talk over the new chairman's commission, examining the state of

:20:43.:20:58.

the national game. He has been criticised for lacking punch.

:20:59.:21:00.

Southgate has called for a cap on foreign players in the championship

:21:01.:21:02.

where many are turning to cheap imports at the expense of young

:21:03.:21:05.

British talent being given a chance. We are reviewing how the Academy is

:21:06.:21:07.

wrong, we are reviewing grass roots football, but if at the end of that

:21:08.:21:13.

path there is no game at the weekend and no game under pressure, then

:21:14.:21:20.

that is an experience that 17`23 `year`olds are missing out on. Many

:21:21.:21:26.

of these players are in and out of their prospective club teams,

:21:27.:21:29.

including Redmond who started his career with a flourish. There is a

:21:30.:21:39.

lot of talk recently about how we don't have players from the future

:21:40.:21:44.

and if you look at the under 21 teams, as the list goes down to the

:21:45.:21:53.

under 16`year`olds, this shows he has faith in the players and it is

:21:54.:22:01.

therefore us if we work hard. Nathan Redmond has already been a

:22:02.:22:03.

matchwinner for Norwich this season, and with his England colours

:22:04.:22:08.

on, should get a warm reception tomorrow night at Portman Road. It

:22:09.:22:15.

is said to be an exciting night, starting in Ipswich, ending in

:22:16.:22:24.

Brazil, hopefully. Now as you know we have some world

:22:25.:22:37.

class sporting venues in our region. Silverstone for motor racing,

:22:38.:22:40.

Newmarket for horse racing, and Stadium MK, soon to host World Cup

:22:41.:22:44.

rugby of course. But what about the village of Southwick in

:22:45.:22:46.

Northamptonshire? For the first time yesterday the village played host to

the world conker championships. Mike Liggins has been watching the

:22:50.:22:52.

action. Some people even came from Venezuela to take part. Each

:22:53.:23:00.

competitor gets three strikes, and after that it goes to sudden death.

:23:01.:23:05.

This year it was Southwark for the first time. We were at the beautiful

:23:06.:23:13.

village green of Ashton but it got a bit small and we were even turning

:23:14.:23:20.

people away from the car park. The way to another venue but it was too

:23:21.:23:24.

windy. Fancy dress plays a big part, here we had the pink Panther.

:23:25.:23:35.

It was decided on this mishit, or quarter snacks for the conquer

initiate our `` conquer experts. As the new king of conkers Simon got a

:23:56.:24:00.

crown, he didn't seem all that pleased to be world champion. I am a

:24:01.:24:05.

bit overwhelmed really. I was having a quiet Sunday afternoon and this

:24:06.:24:10.

happens, a very strange feeling. It is quite tense, but as soon as it

:24:11.:24:15.

cracked I went for the kill. There was no practice involved, it was

:24:16.:24:20.

pure luck. Since it started in 1965, the World Conker Championships has

:24:21.:24:27.

raised ?400,000 for charity and much fun had by all. Congratulations to

:24:28.:24:43.

this all conquering Duro. `` duo. I love that, I was having a quiet

:24:44.:24:49.

weekend and this happened! I think next year they should all wear

:24:50.:24:56.

onesies! We have had everything today, a real

:24:57.:25:02.

mixture of cloud but some sunshine as well for some people.

:25:03.:25:08.

Around the centre of this low pressure we have had showers

:25:09.:25:14.

rotating around and they have been pushing into our part of the world.

:25:15.:25:18.

We have a fair few out there as we speak, they will tend to pull away

:25:19.:25:23.

to the east, some of them on the sharp side, and the rest of the

:25:24.:25:27.

night after midnight should be largely dry. If we get any breaks in

:25:28.:25:33.

the cloud, we are likely to see some patchy fog developing and quite a

:25:34.:25:37.

lot of mist and low cloud out there during the second part of the night.

:25:38.:25:46.

In moral sports we could be down to around five degrees, which is really

:25:47.:25:51.

chilly. Tomorrow, and misty, murky start of the day, some of the fog

:25:52.:25:59.

will be slow to clear. We cannot rule out a few showers but it is

:26:00.:26:05.

looking largely dry. Temperatures looking around 13 Celsius at best,

:26:06.:26:11.

and we are looking at mainly light west to north`westerly winds

:26:12.:26:15.

throughout the day. We finished the day with a few showers, but largely

:26:16.:26:20.

dry skies. As we head into the rest of the week, is what ahead?

:26:21.:26:25.

Wednesday will probably have a dry start but then we are expecting some

:26:26.:26:30.

rain to push in from the south`west. On Thursday, probably

:26:31.:26:37.

largely fine and dry, I think. We cannot rule out some showers but

:26:38.:26:42.

hopefully some brightness coming through as well. On Friday, as it

:26:43.:26:47.

stands, it is looking a similar day. A fair bit of fine, dry weather with

:26:48.:26:52.

some showers likely in the afternoon. It looks like most of the

:26:53.:26:57.

rain should stay to the west of us but that is subject to change. On

:26:58.:27:03.

Thursday and Friday, you will notice much milder days. We could see 17

:27:04.:27:09.

Celsius in the sunshine so very mild, and these are your overnight

:27:10.:27:11.

lows.
