scattered showers but the driest day of the weekend.

:00:00.:00:00.

Eyewitnesses say it's unbelievable no`one was killed.

:00:00.:00:23.

And experience. How anyone was not injured I do not know.

:00:24.:00:27.

The shocking pictures of a violent hit and run.

:00:28.:00:30.

Police in Luton are treating this attack as attempted murder

:00:31.:00:32.

We'll be here later in the programme counting down to the Tour Dd France.

:00:33.:00:35.

As the region prepares for the fastest race on two wheels

we meet the schoolchildren creating artwork fit for a king.

And the crowd`watching bobby happy to

There was disbelief and panic this morning as

:00:43.:00:58.

a gas explosion ripped throtgh a quiet cul de sac in Milton Keynes.

:00:59.:01:02.

Four homes were damaged in the blast and the fire service says it's

:01:03.:01:06.

A number of families were evacuated from their homes

:01:07.:01:09.

and a garage containing gas cylinders was completely destroyed.

:01:10.:01:14.

An investigation is now unddrway, as Neil Bradford reports.

:01:15.:01:23.

Taken in the minutes that followed the explosion, this video bdlies the

:01:24.:01:26.

Just before 5am, residents were woken by an enormous bang.

:01:27.:01:35.

How anyone wasn't injured I just don't know.

:01:36.:01:49.

Debris has been strewn across a large area but it hs not

:01:50.:01:53.

until you get to the back of the property that you re`lise

:01:54.:01:56.

Believe it or not, that used to be a garage and two garddns.

:01:57.:02:04.

No`one was seriously hurt in this morning's explosion.

:02:05.:02:07.

Firefighters say it may havd been caused by a gas barbecte.

:02:08.:02:11.

We believe it exploded inside the garage and blew `ll the

:02:12.:02:15.

walls of the garage out and caused blast damage quite some considerable

:02:16.:02:20.

The owners of four homes now face extensive insurance claims.

:02:21.:02:32.

Salvatore Scana is just thankful he and his family escaped unharmed

:02:33.:02:35.

Up until two months ago I w`s living in the house and my room was

:02:36.:02:38.

I think I am definitely verx lucky that I came out unharled.

:02:39.:02:46.

Structural engineers have bden working with firefighters to make

:02:47.:02:48.

the buildings secure but it is likely to be many more weeks

:02:49.:02:52.

before this quiet cul`de`sac returns to any sense of normality.

:02:53.:03:02.

The British Horseracing Authority has announced a zero`tolerance

:03:03.:03:05.

approach to the use of anabolic steroids in the industry.

:03:06.:03:09.

It's in response to horse r`cing's biggest ever doping scandal

:03:10.:03:13.

involving Godolphin Stables in Newmarket a year ago.

:03:14.:03:17.

Our reporter Ian Barmer joins us live from Newmarket now.

:03:18.:03:20.

Cast your mind back to April the 22nd last year. The home of British

:03:21.:03:36.

racing was hit by a bombshell. A doping scandal at the Godolphin

:03:37.:03:41.

stables. Owned by the Royal family in the bag, it is the biggest horse

:03:42.:03:47.

racing operation in Dubai. `` in the world. Today, the rules but I didn't

:03:48.:03:52.

even further. This was a controversy that

:03:53.:03:54.

shook racing to the core. Godolphin, a global brand ilmersed

:03:55.:03:56.

in the biggest doping scand`l Today, in response, more th`n one

:03:57.:03:59.

year later, British Horse R`cing Authority announced its toughest

:04:00.:04:03.

policy yet on illegal sterohds. It presented an opportunity for us

:04:04.:04:08.

to build on regulations and we have We have committed more resotrces to

:04:09.:04:12.

it. We have conducted

:04:13.:04:16.

an independent study. Now we have got one

:04:17.:04:20.

of the strongest anti`doping and So I think people should have

:04:21.:04:23.

confidence in British racing. They have introduced a complete ban

:04:24.:04:31.

on steroids, with no excepthons Testing can be carried out

:04:32.:04:34.

at any time and if steroids are given to horse there will bd

:04:35.:04:38.

a 12 month ban from training Two Newmarket trainers paying

:04:39.:04:41.

the price for illegal doping. Mohammed al Zarooni was

:04:42.:04:49.

the first banned, for eight years. And then Gerard Butler,

:04:50.:04:54.

banned for five years. Jon has trained horses

:04:55.:04:57.

in Newmarket since 1995. He welcomes

:04:58.:05:01.

today's ruling with open arls. It is very important that r`cing

:05:02.:05:06.

is seen to have a zero tolerance We have seen in athletics, cycling,

:05:07.:05:09.

that a sport which allows that to happen shoots itself in the foot

:05:10.:05:17.

with public opinion, It means that the testers c`n

:05:18.:05:21.

knock on your door any time, day or night, and say they want to

:05:22.:05:27.

test your horses. There are 65 trainers here `nd

:05:28.:05:30.

stacks around the country. There are lots of horses

:05:31.:05:33.

and this is absolutely superb. The British Horse Racing Authority,

:05:34.:05:37.

well done. These rules come into force

:05:38.:05:39.

on the 1st of January next xear They are designed to make British

:05:40.:05:48.

racing the cleanest in the world. With so many people getting so much

:05:49.:06:07.

money on raising it public confidence. Today's rule ch`nges

:06:08.:06:09.

seem to have gone down pretty well. Next the shocking CCTV foot`ge

:06:10.:06:14.

which shows the moment a man was injured in a violdnt hit

:06:15.:06:16.

and run attack in Luton. The police are treating it

:06:17.:06:20.

as attempted murder and linking it to another attack last month in

:06:21.:06:22.

which a man was shot in the back. You may find the pictures in

:06:23.:06:26.

Fae Southwell's report upsetting. A car hits a pedestrian,

:06:27.:06:32.

carrying him on the bonnet before Stunned, he crawls towards

:06:33.:06:36.

the kerb and tries to stand up. The driver pauses for a momdnt,

:06:37.:06:41.

then turns and speeds off. This is a hit and run that police

:06:42.:06:47.

are treating as attempted mtrder. It follows another offence `lmost

:06:48.:06:51.

three weeks earlier In that attack a man was shot

:06:52.:06:54.

in Addington Way He'd been leaving a party

:06:55.:07:00.

when he was ambushed by two masked men who blastdd him

:07:01.:07:03.

in the back with pellets. The information we have got is that

:07:04.:07:08.

both of these were targeted attacks and

:07:09.:07:10.

that they were attempted murders. It is a miracle that both of them

:07:11.:07:13.

have got such minor injuries. Anyone else may have died

:07:14.:07:17.

from these injuries. Being hit in the back with

:07:18.:07:23.

a shotgun, it is very lucky. Also the car incident,

:07:24.:07:27.

with the way the victim has fallen, it has been fortunate he has not

:07:28.:07:31.

landed on his head and been killed. In all, police are

:07:32.:07:41.

investigating three incidents. The first, on May 25th,

:07:42.:07:42.

is the shooting in Addington Way. This was followed on June 12th

:07:43.:07:45.

by the hit and run near Radnor Road Then later that same night

:07:46.:07:50.

a car crashed in Raven Hill. Detectives want to trace

:07:51.:07:53.

a blonde man seen running away. These people probably have

:07:54.:07:56.

a reputation. People may be frightened

:07:57.:07:58.

of speaking to the police But these are such serious latters

:07:59.:08:01.

that I would urge them to come forward and talk to us

:08:02.:08:05.

in confidence. Police believe

:08:06.:08:08.

:10:03.:10:07.

charity Solve It, Last year,

:10:08.:10:12.

it's estimated nearly 6,500 people were treated in hospital

:10:13.:10:19.

and there've been dozens of deaths. Louise Hubball was at today's

conference in Northampton, the Legal highs, products often so new

to be sold for human consumption, people take them anyway. Today, the

:10:44.:10:48.

first national conference w`s held in Northampton to bring togdther

:10:49.:10:52.

people concerned to devise ` strategy to tackle them. It is

:10:53.:10:57.

organised by a local charitx. The reason we wanted it in

:10:58.:10:59.

Northamptonshire is because working with the County Council and others,

:11:00.:11:06.

we want this county to be at the forefront of dealing with these

:11:07.:11:09.

issues and not the backside. Had he seen an increase here? Therd has

:11:10.:11:13.

been an increase in the county, without doubt, but no different to

:11:14.:11:19.

any other parts of the country. Here, they are referred to `s new

them sound safe. We do not know what is in them have the time. Some can

:11:29.:11:35.

be tested and found to cont`in controlled substances, class a

:11:36.:11:37.

drugs. Others might be completely inert. There is not enough

:11:38.:11:41.

information about what is in them and how to use them safely. We just

:11:42.:11:46.

do not know that they are bding manufactured in a consistent manner.

This warning film will be played at Glastonbury this weekend and an idea

:11:53.:11:56.

discussed today was abusing the awareness of GPs to spot thd

:11:57.:12:01.

side`effects. I think the idea is that there are a lot of thel and the

:12:02.:12:06.

growing number. However, we probably have a limited number of effects on

:12:07.:12:11.

the body. I think GPs do not need to be overwhelmed by all the dhfferent

:12:12.:12:15.

ones but had a good underst`nding about how the general classds might

:12:16.:12:20.

affect the body. The number of 5`24 `year`old in the UK who havd taken

:12:21.:12:25.

illegal highs that lack leg`l highs is thought to be 670,000. That is

:12:26.:12:34.

the highest rate in Europe. `` who have taken legal highs. Leg`l highs

:12:35.:12:39.

are worse than a lot of stuff. The messenger. People I know have had

:12:40.:12:47.

really bad trips. There seels to be that of a problem in Northalpton,

:12:48.:12:51.

just for what has been in the press. They do not know what they `re

:12:52.:12:55.

messing with. What others wdre worried about the prevalencd of

legal highs. Meanwhile, the conference will report back to the

for the rest of the programle. heavy rain is on the way.

:13:27.:13:52.

And the man who found himself policing the 1966 World Cup final

:13:53.:13:55.

because he said that he hatdd the beautiful game.

:13:56.:13:59.

Now, in just ten days? time, the world's greatest cycle race hits

:14:00.:14:02.

Stage three of the Tour de France starts in Cambridge a week

:14:03.:14:06.

From there, the race winds hts way through Essex on its way to a finish

:14:07.:14:10.

The region's economy is expdcting a boost, but it's not just local

:14:11.:14:14.

businesses on the tour routd who are getting excited.

:14:15.:14:23.

Hours of work, every attenthon to detail. Artwork fit for a khng. But

:14:24.:14:33.

certainly the king of the Mountains. Pupils at the school in Cambridge

:14:34.:14:35.

are leading the way to welcome the world's top cyclists. I am dxcited,

:14:36.:14:45.

it is not everyday that you get an opportunity to do something like

:14:46.:14:48.

this. We are painting all of the different jerseys that are hn the

:14:49.:14:57.

Tour de France. It is very cool and I'm sure that no one else whll be

:14:58.:15:02.

doing anything like this. Masterpiece finally finished, time

:15:03.:15:06.

for it to take centre stage. The centrepiece of the school's art

:15:07.:15:11.

exhibition at the front gatds, right on the true root itself. It is a

:15:12.:15:20.

prestigious world events, hd would not want it on their doorstdp? I

:15:21.:15:27.

will be there to see everything happening. We have a few boxs and

:15:28.:15:30.

girls who live close enough to the school to say: They do not. We would

:15:31.:15:34.

like more of them to do that. Hopefully one of the legacids of the

:15:35.:15:41.

tour will be actually getting on the bike. This picturesque markdt town

:15:42.:15:49.

in Essex will hardly know what has hit it. We have still got to make

:15:50.:15:54.

the effort and make it look fantastic for when they are coming

:15:55.:16:00.

through. This was my husband's bicycle and it has been sitting in

:16:01.:16:05.

the garage for the last 20 xears so we thought we would get it out and

:16:06.:16:11.

put it in the window. We have got mugs, tea towels, artwork bx local

:16:12.:16:18.

artists is. What are your f`vourite? Probably the mugs and the tda table.

:16:19.:16:24.

It picked the route. The rooted in red and the surrounding villages are

:16:25.:16:30.

in blue. They are anticipathng a memorable, hopefully profit`ble day.

:16:31.:16:41.

The Red Arrows have now been delighting crates for decadds. They

:16:42.:16:45.

have become famous the world over. But what is not so well`known is the

:16:46.:16:49.

story of their mascot, a golden retriever called Dusty.

:16:50.:17:09.

This loyal labrador, the Red Arrows's first`ever mascot, was

:17:10.:17:14.

loved by pilots and ground staff alike. But in May 1965, Dusty was

:17:15.:17:23.

killed. He dashed out onto the runway and was struck by a plane is

:17:24.:17:32.

it took off. He was buried near this spot and for half a century his

:17:33.:17:36.

grave had been forgotten until now. Local schoolchildren Howard Dusty's

:17:37.:17:41.

story and decided that it mtst have a happy ending. So they havd

:17:42.:17:46.

scrubbed, painted and plantdd and after two weeks Dusty has a fitting

:17:47.:17:56.

green. Today, his owner, former Flight Lieutenant Henry Prince, I

:17:57.:18:04.

hear. I cannot thank you enough it is wonderful. If I said a more array

:18:05.:18:09.

would burst into tears. What did you think of the story? We were sad but

:18:10.:18:13.

when we started to get to know the story a bit, we were not th`t sad.

:18:14.:18:20.

When we got told that we were cleaning it and meeting Henry we

:18:21.:18:25.

were all quite excited. On the storm, you could not read mtch of

:18:26.:18:29.

the writing. To begin with we thought it said 1901. Now it is much

:18:30.:18:36.

brighter and it looks properly like a grave now, which is reallx lovely

:18:37.:18:44.

and the children have thorotghly enjoyed it. It is almost as bad as

:18:45.:18:48.

losing a member of the family. It is as bad. He was just a wonderful dog.

:18:49.:18:56.

Finally, to end this. 's story, Dusty's very own red arrow, complete

:18:57.:18:59.

with a poor print. `` paw print Now, do you remember a time

:19:00.:19:11.

when England was good at football? 1966 and that World Cup win is

:19:12.:19:14.

a long time ago. England beat West Germany 4`2

:19:15.:19:17.

in the final at Wembley, of course. Ken German from Cambridgeshhre was

:19:18.:19:20.

22 at the time and saw the latch. And that would have been grdat,

:19:21.:19:23.

only that Ken didn't like football. He got

:19:24.:19:26.

in touch to tell us his story. No previous international, no cup

:19:27.:19:45.

final matched this event, the final of the World Cup.

:19:46.:19:53.

It was July the 30th, 1966, a day that Ken German remembers wdll. All

:19:54.:19:58.

we've had been cancelled. They said, all of those who like footb`ll, take

:19:59.:20:03.

one step forward. Two of us were left on the line. Ken German loved

:20:04.:20:09.

cars and bikes, he hated football, so being picked for crowd control at

:20:10.:20:16.

Wembley was a blow. You werd picked because you did not like football?

:20:17.:20:21.

Absolutely. I could face thd crowd and look at them and find mtch more

:20:22.:20:24.

interest than that and in the food bowl. If you look at the old films

:20:25.:20:31.

today, you can see some hubbub around the pitch. But can you

:20:32.:20:36.

remember any of the goals actually going on? I can, yes, but they did

:20:37.:20:42.

not mean as much to me as they would to some other people. Do yot know

:20:43.:20:47.

who the players were? Yes, H did know Bobby Miller, and Sir Geoff

:20:48.:20:54.

Hurst, because another of mx colleagues were West Ham fans ``

:20:55.:21:06.

Bobby Moore. Ken German joined the celebrations that night and woke up

:21:07.:21:12.

with a hangover the next dax. Some years later he met a Brazilhan

:21:13.:21:16.

footballer in the pub. He dhd not know his name, but it turned out

:21:17.:21:27.

that it was Pele. We loved Ken German's story, if you have a story

:21:28.:21:32.

about the World Cup, it is not too late to let me know. Ken has not

:21:33.:21:38.

seen another football game since, I believe, but I suppose if you only

:21:39.:21:43.

had to see one game of football in your life, the World Cup final of

:21:44.:21:48.

1966 would not be a bad chohce. We can feed off that a little bit

:21:49.:21:50.

now, country? `` can't we? Low`pressure moving in, a b`nd of

to head northwards, places like Norfolk make not seasoned thll after

:22:24.:22:28.

:22:29.:22:32.

For the northern half of thd region, not a great deal left. Tempdrature

The Met office have decided to issue a warning for this, yellow warning

:22:56.:23:01.

for rain. Some heavy rain around. Heavy downpours that could cause

:23:02.:23:04.

surface spray and localised flooding in places. Tomorrow morning there

:23:05.:23:09.

may even be something bright. You can see all of this rain, it is

really showers that are merging together. Bringing us these

:23:14.:23:18.
