Adebowale show nod remorse. That is all from us. Now we join our news | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
teams where And some of your Christmas lights in | :00:00. | :01:03. | |
all their splendour. Good evening. First tonight ` he was | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
a hit`and`run driver who tried to cover his tracks. But tonight, Adam | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
Reeve is starting a 12`year prison sentence. The 22`year`old from | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
Wisbech deliberately targeted a pedestrian, and in the days after | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
driving into him, he disguised his car. His victim spent six days in | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
hospital. Louise Hubball reports. Fire has ripped though a restaurant | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
on a leisure park in Northampton, damaging a gas main. June last year, | :01:23. | :01:31. | |
and three men aimlessly kick a can in a Wisbech Street. Just before | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
this, one had greeted 22`year`old Adam Reeves, mistakenly thinking he | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
knew him. Matt `` Adam Reeve takes objection, getting his car and | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
liberally ploughing into his victim. The 25`year`old listen when you | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
victim survived, but spent six days in hospital. Adam Reeve initially | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
denied being there. He tried to cover his tracks by changing the | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
look of his car. He later claimed an innocent friend had been driving. | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
Sentencing Adam Reeve to 12 years, half of which to be served in | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
prison, the judge told him that he had got himself extremely drunk | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
When the victim hailed him, you noted he was foreign. He used his | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
car as a weapon, a potentially lethal one. Due to the injury is the | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
victim sustained, he has lost all confidence in relationships. There | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
were no brake lights prior to the impact. Eyewitness accounts, the | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
vehicle was accelerating towards the victim and hit him head on, so it | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
could easily have killed the victim. I think the sentence befits the | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
crime. It was very serious. Hopefully, that sentence should give | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
the victim a bit of closure. Tonight, Adam Reeve will begin his | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
prison sentence. His victim, only guilty of being in the wrong place | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
at the wrong time, remains in constant pain and may face further | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
operations. Fire has ripped though a restaurant | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
on a leisure park in Northampton, damaging a gas main. Firefighters | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
spent more than 12 hours trying to put out the flames, but the Red Hot | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
World Buffet has been reduced to ash and cinders. Hundreds of people had | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
already booked in for Christmas meals. We can go live now to our | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
reporter Neil Bradford in Northampton. Yes, this is a busy | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
leisure complex in Northampton. There are many other pubs and | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
restaurants here too. Last night it was very busy, with people enjoying | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
the final week before Christmas Thankfully, the Red Hot World Buffet | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
was closed at the time of the fire, but for those at the neighbouring | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
cinema that had to be evacuated the reality outside was more dramatic | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
than anything they had seen on the screen. When they named this | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
restaurant the Red Hot World Buffet, this isn't what anyone would have | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
had in mind. Last night it was completely destroyed in a fire. By | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
daylight, the scale of the damage is breathtaking. Chris Datsun works at | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
another restaurant nearby. He couldn't believe what he had | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
witnessed. I came out and had a look. Originally, it was black | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
smoke, and then the flames built and built until it was sky`high. And | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
neighbouring cinema was evacuated, as 60 firefighters spent the night | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
bringing the flames under control. It is almost 12 hours since the | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
start of the fire, and the roads surrounding the restaurant remained | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
closed. Gas engineers here are working to cut the supply, because, | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
as you can see, there are still flames coming from the building The | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
fire alarm was activated just before 11pm as Claire `` as staff were | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
closing up. No customers were inside. There were 11 staff in the | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
building. Everyone was evacuated with no injuries to report. We had | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
eight fire engines and specialist support, and about 60 firefighters. | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
Robert was part of a party of 1 0 guests who were planning a Christmas | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
meal at the restaurant last week. He is now looking for an alternative | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
venue. We don't want to have to let all those people down at the last | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
minute. Today police and firefighters began an investigation | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
into what caused the fire. The restaurant's owners are yet to | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
assess what this will cost them financially. Everyone here is | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
thankful that no one was hurt. Some good news tonight ` the Hilton | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
hotel in Northampton are able to accommodate Robert and his 100 | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
diners, who were supposed to be having their Christmas meal here on | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
December the 27th. Thank you. The Police and Crime Commissioner | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
for Bedfordshire says the county is being held to ransom, after learning | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
its police force will have to find an extra ?1 million of savings in | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
the next two years. Olly Martins told me earlier tonight he was | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
expecting to have to save ?7.5 million pounds, but discovered | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
yesterday that it's been upped to ?8.5 million. We had anticipated | :06:27. | :06:36. | |
that there would be what is called a top slice for the IPCC and also for | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
the innovation fund. But when it came, the cut was actually double | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
what we were expecting, so that was a bit of a surprise, and it is going | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
to be difficult for us to deal with. Forces are inspected by the | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
HMI sea, and they say you are financially vulnerable force. Where | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
is this extra money going to come from? It is the impact it will have | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
on our long`term plans. In the short to medium term, we are actually | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
recruiting officers, so we are putting more officers into the front | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
line. We are still able to do that. It is the longer term impact, in | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
terms of the collaboration, in terms of the transformation work that we | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
were going to do by investing in IT. The government still haven't | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
told us whether we are going to get any flexibility in terms of | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
increasing the precept, which is what people play the Dutch people | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
pay for their policing through the council tax locally. We are not so | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
sure if we are going to be able to increase that locally. If you can | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
increase it through council tax is that the way you want to go? I don't | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
particularly relish increasing people's council tax, but it is | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
about the only option that there is if the government keeps cutting our | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
budget. Knife crime is an issue in the region, with a spate of recent | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
stabbings. Do you think the force is being treated unfairly? We don't get | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
a share that reflects the needs we have. We are a small, rural leave | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
funded force that faces urban challenges, challenges that are only | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
seen elsewhere in the country in the large metropolitan forces, who are | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
clearly in a better position to deal with them. We do suffer from that. | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
You do have to decide your budget by the end of January. You don't have | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
much time, do you? No, it is going to be difficult. We are going to | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
have to be burning the midnight oil to make sure that the budget | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
balances. For our postmen and women, it's the | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
busiest time of the year. Nationally, Royal Mail are | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
delivering 1.2 million items a day. But as emails and texts replace | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
cards, parcels make up a larger share ` a bit under a third of the | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
total. They all go to 29 million addresses. Emma Baugh has been to | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
the Peterborough sorting office Alan Gudgeon is a workplace coach. | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
You are putting it in the right place? He has been at the Royal Mail | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
for 19 years, and has seen its business change. The parcels have | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
actually increased, and the floor space has expanded, where we need | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
space for parcels. Before, this was an area we sorted letters in and | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
packets. We still need more space. This is the intelligent letters | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
sorter which handles 45,000 letters an hour. It is part of | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
modernisation, but the company still relies on a large labour force. Here | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
at Peterborough, they employ more than 400 people throughout the year, | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
taking on an extra 150 to cope with seasonal demand, adding up to the | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
24,000 people employed throughout the region in a year. With recent | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
price hikes for stamps, will there be fewer cards are sent this | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
Christmas? We haven't seen that Customers next choices based on | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
value. We have not seen a decline, which I think shows that the pricing | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
is right and people still see it as relevant. Online shopping is | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
growing, and we enjoy the lion's share of that growth. Out on the | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
streets of Peterborough, are people still sending cards? I won't be | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
posting them this year. I will be sending them electronically, because | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
it is cheaper. I am sending cards. I posted them today, but there were | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
definitely less than in previous years. I write them out but never | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
send them! Do you prefer electronic or not at all? Not at all. I do | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
still send them, but mostly I take them personally. I tried to deliver | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
as many as I can myself. Whether to send or not to send, no matter how | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
you address it, it is up to these people to get it delivered in time. | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
A camera capable of capturing something as small as a button on | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
the surface of the moon has blasted into space, cheered on by the | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
Hertfordshire scientists who designed it. It's called Gaia ` and | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
is the most advanced camera of its kind ever made. Its mission ` to | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
photograph more than a billion stars, and create a 3D map of the | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
Milky Way. Mike Cartwright watched the launch. | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
Five, four, three, two, one! Decollage. Physicists, designers, | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
technicians ` scientists in Stevenage whose work could help | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
uncover the secrets of our universe. The successful launch an emotional | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
moment. How often and how many people get to say that something | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
that they have worked on has been to space? I can see you welling up | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
there. It's that emotional? It really is. It's fantastic. You must | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
feel really proud today? Really proud. Of everything that our team | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
has accomplished. Gaia's mission ` produced the most detailed map of | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
our galaxy ever. On board, a one billion pixel camera. From Earth, it | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
could pinpoint a penny on the moon. Mind`boggling technology developed | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
right here in the East. For science, this is hugely significant | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
` Gaia carrying the largest ever camera into space. But for | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
economics, it's massive too. This is a ?19 million project for our | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
region, with hundreds of people here working on it in the last seven | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
years. It's international. It's a European project. But about a | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
quarter of the engineering, the manufacturing and testing was | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
actually done here in the UK. The spacecraft work here in Stevenage, | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
and the camera itself, the CCD array, built in Chelmsford. Whatever | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
passes in front of the lens will be tracked. Comets, asteroids, planets | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
beyond our system. What is found will then be studied at the | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
University of Cambridge. You can effectively redo a lot of astronomy | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
this way. It is much higher accuracy. You can learn more about | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
the charter of the stars. You can learn about stars that are much | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
further away. It will remap the Milky Way. Our understanding of what | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
is out there will change forever, thanks to ground`breaking work | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
carried out right here. Amazing. Cambridgeshire Fire service | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
says it has plans in place to ensure the public remains stays during | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
three planned strike days. Members of the Fire Brigades Union will walk | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
out between 7pm on Christmas Eve and again on New Year's Eve. They are | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
taking action on pay | :14:14. | 0:07:18 |
