Korean ferry capsized. That's all | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello and welcome to Look E`st. In the programme tonight. New trains | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
for old. The government confirms ?2.7 billion for the East Coast | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
mainline. Police plan to put prisoners in a | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
mobile cell block after custody suites in Bedford are ruled unsafe. | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
I will be here later in the programme. Already a sea of yellow | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
and a bumper crop is expectdd, three weeks early. Luton Town are back in | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
the football league, without kicking a ball. Good evening. We have | :00:39. | :00:50. | |
confirmation tonight of a ?2.7 billion investment for one of our | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
main rail lines. The East Coast mainline will get a new fledt of | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
state`of`the`art trains. Passengers will have to wait four years for | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
them. But the government saxs the investment will transform journeys | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
and boost the economy. But commuters are concerned they'll end up paying | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
with higher fares. Louise Htbball reports. | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
Here it Peterborough, many passengers were getting awax for an | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
early Easter break. The East Coast line, running from London and up to | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
Scotland is a vital business Link. The announcement confirming almost | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
500 new carriages is big news. The new stock will start rolling along | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
the east coast main line from 2 18. For commuters, it will mean almost | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
20% more seats on each train and reduce journey times and, the | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
government says, improved reliability. The timetable for the | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
new trains is in four years. What does a ?2.7 billion investmdnt mean | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
for people who use the servhce in Peterborough? It will be fantastic, | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
for commuters in general, gdtting to London, it takes time off otr day if | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
they ran faster. The only problem would be if it was two minutes | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
quicker and the price doublds. It is already expensive. That sounds like | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
a good idea. If it is true, it is good news. I commute to London | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
regularly and the service so far has been good. The East Coast franchise | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
has been run by the governmdnt since 2009 and is due to return into | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
private hands early next ye`r. Some question whether that has slowed | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
down confirmation of the cash today. We did not allow public owndrship to | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
delay investment, which is why we were able to make the announcement | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
today. The funding is in pl`ce. The franchise process is a procdss that | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
is ongoing and not yet completed. We went ahead in order to order the | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
carriages so they would not be held up. Some rail experts say the new | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
carriages sound familiar. Wd have heard it before. We know thd new | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
trains are arriving. They promised this 2.7 billion investment, they | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
have not explained how this money will be paid for. One busindss | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
leaders said what is import`nt now is the economic impact. We need a | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
line that is enabling us to get the investment and drive business | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
forward, which means we need quality, reliability and thd | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
business community wants a railway fit for purpose. It has been a day | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
for relevant announcement whth Abellio Great Anglia launchhng a new | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
off`peak Cambridge to Stansted service from July. | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
Earlier this afternoon, I spoke to Mike Hewitson from Passenger Focus, | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
who welcomes the investment. It is good news. Investment, we h`ve been | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
calling for investment for xears and will see it in the form of new | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
trains. This confirms an announcement made last year and it | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
seems the finances have been sorted out. Passengers like new tr`ins | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
especially if they are more reliable, comfortable and whth space | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
for luggage. The government says it will transform rail travel on that | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
line. Are you convinced by that It does help. Some of the servhces on | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
that line from the 1970s. They have done a good job that there hs a | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
point when you need something more modern, with facilities such as | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
power sockets and trains th`t work better to move us into the lodern | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
world. The prime purpose is the trades faster, which will hdlp, but | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
it is reliability. They shotld come with a more reliable packagd and the | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
time between breakdown should be less. Our passengers going to end up | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
paying for this? If the trahn arrives two minutes faster, but the | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
price of the ticket doubles, it will not go down well as we heard in the | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
report. Value for money is one of the important thing is one of the | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
important things for passengers There is no automatic link between | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
new trains and new fares. F`res are set by the government. For lany | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
years we have had inflation plus 1% and last year it was inflathon | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
only. That is what we would be looking to see. We have had enough | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
of above inflation increases and passengers are paying their share. | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
What we need now is the invdstment that rewards the previous inflation | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
plus fair in crease. We will not see the benefits for some time xet. | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
2018, a couple of years to bring them in. They are complicatdd to put | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
together. It is a shame it has been delayed, but at least now wd have a | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
date. Passenger groups are looking at them and have the chance to | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
comment and we are getting feedback. It is a step towards. Four len who | :06:14. | :06:28. | |
were jailed last year for plotting a terrorist attack on a Territorial | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
Army base in Luton have appdaled to have their sentences reduced. . Our | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
reporter Ben Bland was following the proceedings and joins me now. They | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
were planning to blow up thd Territorial Army base using | :06:42. | :06:51. | |
explosives attached to a car. They were Zahid Iqbal, Mohammed Sharfaraz | :06:52. | :07:01. | |
Ahmed, also involved were Sxed Farhan Hussain, Umar Arshad,. There | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
was a plot to strap explosives underneath a toy car and to set it | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
off under a military vehicld but the plan was foiled before they could | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
carry it out. They were charged under the terrorism act and pleaded | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
guilty. They were given sentences between five years and 16 ydars for | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
the two ringleaders. The judge said those to post a continuing risk to | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
the public. They argue they did not get enough reductions of thd guilty | :07:32. | :07:43. | |
pleas. The ringleader, Zahid Iqbal, said they were too long compared to | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
other cases. It was not madd out such as to have the extended | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
sentence. The learned the trial judge took inappropriate methods | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
into consideration. Meanwhile, the lawyer for the Crown Prosecttion | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
Service said they were not `rguing the sentences should be longer, they | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
were there to argue the original sentences should remain and welfare. | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
We, for the prosecution, do not intend any of the sentences were | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
lenient, still less, on dulx lenient. Beyond that, it is a matter | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
for this court to view the sentences imposed. It is down to the three | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
judges to consider the argulents and to decide whether to reduce the | :08:33. | :08:42. | |
sentences. A damning inspection has forced the sudden closure of police | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
cells in Bedford after reports that prisoners were at risk. The decision | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
has put pressure on police to set up a temporary mobile cell block at | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
their headquarters at Kempston. The unannounced inspection of cdlls | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
across the county lasted fotr days and is expected to result in a | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
scathing report of provision at Greyfriars police station. | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
Greyfriars police station in Bedford opened in 1963 and the cells have | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
not changed much. The layout is dated. When the inspectors paid an | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
unexpected visit, the Assistant Chief Constable decided to close | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
them down immediately. It w`s felt the cell block was disrespectful | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
environment and there was a lack of dignity for the detained people and | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
visitors. Also highlighted hn their view there are a number of risks | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
that could lead to people h`rm to themselves. For now prisoners will | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
be taken to Dunstable but there is a plan to install a temporary block. | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
It is at Bedfordshire Policd headquarters the temporary cell | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
block is likely to be installed probably in the next few wedks, the | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
car park to the rear of the building. It is happening qtickly | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
because of the sudden loss of the police cells at Greyfriars station. | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
The inspectors praised the professionalism of custody staff who | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
had to work with substandard accommodation. Police are now | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
urgently seeking planning pdrmission for the cell blocks. It is no | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
difference if it is temporary or permanent, it should have no impact | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
on public safety and the nulber of staff will be the same in ctstody. | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
The standards we need to achieve will store be met. A permandnt block | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
will replace the temporary tnit in the next two to three years. Across | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
the region, modern suites are slowly replacing the old dated polhce | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
cells. The Police and Crime Commissioner is in the area are | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
looking at eventually sharing police cells to improve efficiency and save | :10:50. | :11:02. | |
money. A woman has died in ` fire at a sheltered housing block in | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
Peterborough. Three crews wdre called to the fire in St Edlunds | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
Walk in Hampton Hargate aftdr a fire broke out in a first floor flat | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
yesterday evening. The woman, who was in her 80s, died in the flat. A | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
man was treated for smoke inhalation. Concerns about the way | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
people are held in custody `t airports in Essex and Bedfordshire | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
have been raised by the prisons watchdog. Stansted and Luton | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
airports have been criticisdd in a report by the Chief Inspector of | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
Prisons for handcuffing det`inees in full view of the public. Those are | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
the top stories tonight. opens to the public again on May | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
two, it is hoped it will the top stories tonight. Now it s | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
over to Stewart for the rest of the programme. | :11:39. | :11:49. | |
Still to come, Luton town celebrating a return to the football | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
league after five years in dxile. And the harvest comes three weeks | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
early thanks to the milder weather. It's thought there are six lillion | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
military veterans in the cotntry, and many face big problems when they | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
leave the Forces. Some are hnjured, some have mental health isstes and | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
it can have a huge impact on their families. Today in Essex, | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
researchers from around the country came together for the launch of the | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
Veterans and Families Institute at Anglia Ruskin University. And they | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
hope to be able to influencd the policy of the Government. | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
Said Watson from Colchester is by her own admission a shadow of her | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
former self. She was medically discharged from the Royal Logistics | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
Corps in 2012 after a hip replacement and if the stunning | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
accident which left her with a broken neck. She has been a | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
body`building champion and ` fitness instructor, now she uses crttches | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
and a wheelchair and is in constant pain. She has been diagnosed with | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
post`traumatic stress disorder after losing her health and her c`reer. It | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
is still very scary and the fact that you have been so upset in the | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
army and then you are injurdd and you can even run, you can express | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
yourself, your children are dressing and things like that, I felt | :13:08. | :13:16. | |
absolutely useless. Just like a spare part. In Chelmsford the lodge | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
of the veterans and families Institute. It is a UK first, all of | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
the major research into the problems faced by veterans and their families | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
brought together in one place. We will be happy if we carry ott | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
meaningful research which h`s an impact. We will be particul`rly | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
happy if that we search for other papers we write makes a difference | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
to national policy and we whll be most happy if what we do makes a | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
real difference to the lives of veterans and their families. The | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
conflict in Iraq and Afghanhstan have the veterans issues into the | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
spotlight. Soldiers have cole back with terrible injuries and | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
psychological trauma. Putting a huge strain on their families. Kdvin | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
Spruce served in Germany, Northern Ireland and the Falklands. When he | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
left the Army in marriage break`up followed but he still sees | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
themselves as a soldier. Whdn I came out there was an expectation of | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
assimilation which means I lust forget my past and learn thhs new | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
future. That is not going to happen. I came out in 88 and my | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
self`identity still isn't soldier. It is not civilian. The vetdrans and | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
families Institute wants to make a difference, or veterans now and in | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
the future. That work starts in earnest today. Lady Dannatt is the | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
wife of the former head of the British Army and has had first`hand | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
experience of how Army life can affect families. She is also the | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
high Sheriff of Norfolk and has chosen mental health awarendss as | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
her focus. She came to the studio and told me that military pdrsonnel | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
have problems that we `` re`ch life in the front line Those in combat | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
zones often have particular difficulties, because of wh`t they | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
have seen on the battlefield, in the theatre of war. Truly terrible | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
things, they do see. But yot are absolutely right. The milit`rily, | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
the regiment provides a famhly for our young people, some of them are | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
only 17 and a half or 18 whdn they come to us. They have come from | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
perhaps very rough or virtu`lly nonexistent homes themselves. The | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
regiment becomes their home, it is their home, their family for the | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
next 22 years and suddenly ht is taken away. That is very, vdry hard. | :15:36. | :15:43. | |
Why doesn't the military do more about it? I think the milit`ry are | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
waking up and trying to do lore about it. It takes so long for | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
somebody with a mental health problem to actually get help. There | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
is a quote that says if I broke my leg I would see a doctor | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
straightaway, if I have a mdntal health problem it can take the four | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
or five months. Four or fivd months. This is an absolute tragedy. I heard | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
very recently of a young man, a local young man who put his hand up | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
and had the courage with his mother to see get help from a GP. The GP | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
did everything she could, prescribed medication, made a raft of | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
appointments, but unfortunately he took his life before the first | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
appointment was reached bec`use the interval of time was so gre`t. So we | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
as a society have a role to play in this. You as High Sherrif whll be | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
trying to play a role, but what can we do? I think we can talk `bout it | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
a lot more, there is still, even today, there is a huge stigla, | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
discrimination about mental illness. I would like people to talk about | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
mental illness just in the same way the top about a migraine attack or a | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
broken limb. There will be somebody watching this tonight who bdlieves | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
that maybe they do have the mental health problem. And are afr`id to go | :16:52. | :17:01. | |
and ask somebody for help. What would you say to them? I wotld say I | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
absolutely understand where they are coming from, I had postnatal | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
depression after two of my four babies, it was very hard. A, to | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
recognise it and B, to actu`lly summon the courage to put one's hand | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
up and ask for help. Help is out there, though and it is really not | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
difficult. GPs, CPMs, they `re very attuned and very sympathetic and | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
although that was minimal compared to what a lot of people go through, | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
it was enough to make me re`lise that I never, ever wanted to go | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
there again. Lady Dannatt, thank you very much. That's quite all right. | :17:35. | :17:45. | |
There are 170,000 hectares of oilseed rape in this region, that's | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
an area bigger than Bedfordshire. It mean nearly a quarter of all the | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
oilseed rape grown in England is grown here. This year the crop has | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
flowered early and the harvdst is expected to be very good. And of | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
course that's because of thd weather. The details from Kdvin | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
Burch. They are like fields of gold, given | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
even greater radiance on a day like today. From the air you start to | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
appreciate the true scale of easy yellow swathes. Ten years ago, Sam | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
Fares from Suffolk became the first farmer in the UK to market rapeseed | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
oil. Now it is a thriving btsiness. A lot of people thought we were mad | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
but as a family we could not understand why it was that dveryone | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
was telling us use cold`pressed extra virgin olive oil and the | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
Mediterranean diet and all of this sort of thing. Why is nobodx cold | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
pressing rapeseed? There was just that question. In the ten ydars | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
since this enterprise startdd here in Suffolk, the amount of ohl seed | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
rape being grown across the east of the region has gone up by 90%. And | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
if you look at production across England as a whole, well ovdr a | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
quarter of it comes from thhs part of the world. It is easy to see why | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
farmers have been thinking "kerching", because the cooking oil | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
market today is worth an estimated ?326 million. The power of the sun | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
is critical for the crop and critical for production. Thdse solar | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
panels power the machinery. The rapeseed which is 46% or oil is | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
squeezed with whatever left over used for animal feed. The ohl is | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
pumped through 36 filters and then away to be bottled. Each ye`r they | :19:20. | :19:27. | |
produce around 300,000 litrds. It is a healthy oil, it is low in | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
saturated fat and this is the way the government are pushing | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
manufacturers to bring down the saturated fats in food, to bring | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
down the salt and sugar. We are part of that and manufacturers are now | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
coming to us and saying, "Wd need your oil." Look at this, Suffolk, | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
perfect, sunny Suffolk, perfect day. All crops like this. Everyone smiles | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
when the sun comes out. Even farmers smile. Until we want some r`in! | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
There is no denying the risd in rapeseed has been rapid and that | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
growth shows no sign of slowing Kevin Birch, BBC Look East. | :20:00. | :20:08. | |
Luton Town have secured prolotion back to the Football League. The | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
Hatters were confirmed as Conference champions last night after | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
second`placed Cambridge lost 2`nil at Kidderminster. In a moment we | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
take a look at a troubling five years at the club. But first Neil | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
Bradford has spent the day with Hatters fans. In the mood at | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
Kenilworth Road could not h`ve been happier. These fans came to support | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
the reserve team and revel hn the glory of promotion. I have been | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
supporting Luton since I was that high and this absolutely brhlliant. | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
We are so proud of our team and the fans deserve it. Happy? Verx happy. | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
Nigel Martyn known to most `s Santa first came here on his eighth | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
birthday. Being back in the beak is the best thing that has happened to | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
this club in five years. It is what we deserve. It is awesome. | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
Fantastic. In the supporters shocked this consignment of Luton town | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
onesies could not have arrived at a better time. Fans queued up to bike | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
club merchandise, keen to rdmain every one of the team's success I | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
have nothing left to sell for that game. A busy time in the ticket | :21:23. | :21:29. | |
office. The games are sell`outs I have been interested in the games | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
this season so I decided I would get a ticket but obviously the | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
excitement of last night/me down here. The chief executive s`ys he | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
cannot thank fans enough. They have stuck by others and that has been | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
very special to us. To all of us really, here, we have a big thanks | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
and we are very proud of thdm. The chairman, for heaven, promotion was | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
something to savour. I was monitoring the scores of evdning, I | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
went bonkers, leapt up and shouted and poured another glass of wine. | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
There has not been a offici`l confirmation from the club but we | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
understand that a civic recdption and parade is planned for Stnday the | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
4th of May. Another chance to celebrate for fans, young and old. | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
The troubles at Luton reallx came to a head nearly six years ago when the | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
Football League said the cltb would start the new season on mints 3 | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
points. Nobody was surprised when they dropped out of the Football | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
League. Our Sports Editor Jonathan Park reports on the clubs troubled | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
past. They have seen it all. David Pleat's | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
jig, Brian Stein's Wembley winner and the dark times, the FA's brutal | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
punishment. Banished to a non`league, the club has bedn on a | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
journey no other football club has ever experienced. I have sedn a lot | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
of hurt from Luton fans in the past five, six, seven years. Chalpionship | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
club all the way down to thhs division and then a real struggle | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
through different managers to get back to this point. I think in John | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
Still they found somebody who understands Luton and has rdshaped | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
Luton in many ways. He has lade it a new Luton. Three other managers have | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
tried and failed to get Luton over the finishing line, but John Still | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
has united everyone, this is his third promotion from the conference, | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
and up there with his greatdst achievements. The Dagenham thing | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
would be close to me becausd I was a supporter. Like one of thesd lads | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
supporting and managing Luton. But because it is now and because there | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
are so many people here that believe it is their position in the league | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
by right that was taken awax it is a special occasion. It is a dhfferent | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
outlook from five years ago, severely punished by the football | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
authorities, deducted 30 pohnts for financial infringements, Mick | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
Harford faced an impossible task to escape relegation to the conference, | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
ending 89 years as a football league club. So, the sleeping lower`league | :23:51. | :23:58. | |
giant is woken. Luton crowds are bigger than most in the two leagues | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
above, over 10,000 watched them try and lift the trophy at home on | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
Saturday. Where next? Some believe a journey that could end at the very | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
top. Once we are back in thd football league we have a great | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
set`up here, the manager is really putting a team together and the | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
squad together, most import`ntly, of players who are capable of playing | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
at the high level. There ard plenty of other teams who have gond up and | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
gone from nowhere to be in the top flight even, Luton can cert`inly aim | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
to be back in the championship. If they do manage multiple prolotions | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
it will speed up the club 's plans to build a new ground. Kenilworth | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
Road is full of memories but for a club in a hurry to find its natural | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
place in the football pyramhd, it will hold the club back. Jonathan | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
Park, BBC Look East. Let's look at the weather. | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
It was another cold me last night with a number of locations hf you | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
degrees below freezing. Our coldest spot was at may but was the warmest | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
spot today in the sunshine, temperatures of 17 degrees. You can | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
see the extent of the fine weather, and this is down to the are` of high | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
pressure stretching to the dastern part of the British Isles. Xou can | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
see how much sunshine we recorded today. Tonight we will start fine | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
with clear spells and there will be increasing amount of cloud later | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
tonight. For most of us we should be free of frost with temperattres | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
hovering around five or six degrees. If there are breaks in the cloud at | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
that point these numbers cotld go lower so we should expect P`tty | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
frost in places. Tomorrow whll be cloudy but we should get off to a | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
great start and it certainlx looks like a great start as we have a weak | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
weather front heading southwards. We should see early sunshine in this | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
cloud starts to develop frol the Northwest, heading southwards, so | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
counties like Essex made he`d on to some sunshine throughout thd day. It | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
will warm up in the sunshind so we might record temperatures of around | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
17 degrees. There will be a noticeable breeze coming from the | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
West. This cloud could be shck enough to produce a light r`in or | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
drizzle in places, it will be mostly dry but the risk is there. The | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
pressure pattern for Easter is looking mixed, because we do get off | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
a fine start on Saturday but this the pressure pattern for thd East on | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
Sunday. Low pressure moving into the British Isles and we will sde some | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
wet weather but there is certainly some fine weather to be had before | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
we get there. The next few days look OK, apart from the close tolorrow. | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
That is a slight blip. This weather front will introduce much cooler | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
air. It will feel cold on Friday and Saturday but certainly bright with | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
long spells of sunshine. Be aware that Freddie and could bring the | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
risk of frost as temperaturds fall under clear skies but the ldss said | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
about Easter Sunday the better. All that sunshine and Easter Sunday | :27:07. | :27:08. | |
it rains! See you tomorrow. | :27:09. | :27:12. |
