every day in our region. In order to tackle them both

the government and Cambridgeshire Police launched new

campaigns today, encouraging victims to come forward and asking

the public for their help. In

the Fens alone there have been more than 70 cases of human trafficking

in the last 2 years and those are In a moment we'll be talking to

Cambridgeshire Police, but first Last October, 300 officers were

involved in raids across Cambridgeshire and Norfolk hnto the

traffic and exploitation of migrant workers. 13 people were arrested and

workers. 13 people were arrdsted and 75 migrants were taken to a support

centre. And in May last year in Leighton Buzzard, one man and his

son were jailed for holding people against their will and forchng

picked up generally have looked in a real desperate state. Fearftl of

talking. They are people who look absolutely petrified. And desperate.

is trying to get the modern slavery Bill through Parliament, thd first

the slavery and trafficking in the 21st`century. It comes 181 xears

the courts when we can, clearly there are a number of new elerging

there are a number of new emerging communities right across thd force,

there are a number of cases we are investigating. How much police time

investigating. How much polhce time and effort is put into this problem

compared to other crimes? It is a force priority, we dedicate

resources to it. This is about protecting some of the most

vulnerable people in our communities. It is about prosecuting

and bringing to justice those offenders making a lot of money by

exploiting vulnerable people. offenders making a lot of money by

exploiting vulnerable peopld. The exploiting vulnerable peopld. The

re`sources we do expend, we do so with good justification. And with

the public support we can do more to tackle push it away. What c`n the

of this crime are improved health, they are often living in poverty,

living in squalid conditions. We are looking at overcrowded and dquality

investigating, the successful prosecutions will start to give

confidence to those people who feel they have been victimised to come

forward and understand we whll take forward and understand we will take

their concerns seriously and will investigate and pursue the

offenders. I wonder how successful you think the national camp`ign and

Cambridgeshire 's awareness raising campaign is going to be in tackling

love this. The more we can do to raise awareness and promote the

discussion and demonstrate to people that this is not a victimless crime,

not an economic rent, this hs that this is not a victimless crime,

not an economic rent, this is a crime that exploits the vulnerable,

the public will get behind the campaign and will give us the

support we are looking for. Detective Inspector Dan Middleton

talking to me earlier. A driver from Peterborough who

killed a man while using two mobile phones behind the whdel

Crown Court today, six years in prison. She was also banned from

driving for eight years. The judge driving for eight years. Thd judge

said, if you were not sending text at the time you're fiddling with the

from a lake in Milton Keynes remains The emergency services were called

to the Blue Lagoon in Bletchley The woman, believed to be in her

20s, was airlifted to hospital. It's the fourth serious swilming

incident in as many days. Last week a 61`year`old man died

at the Blue Lagoon. 2 teenage boys also drowned

in separate incidents near Luton Three years ago today the body of 76

year old Karoly Varga was found He'd been brutally killed whth an

axe and the town was left in shock. But despite an extensive police

investigation officers admit the Karoly Varga, known by his friends

as Charlie. He moved to Wellingborough from his native

people said he was a popular and well loved man. When other Eastern

European schemes years he would help them settle in, helping with

This is a case that has not been closed. We are actively

investigating it. We are lacking a key piece of evidence that will help

us solve the claim. What evidence are you looking for?

The training shoes worn by the killer. These were black and grey

burgers, just some Cast your mind back six months

and remember that mild, wet winter. Not much in the way

of snow or frost. But now, our fruit growers

are reaping the benefits. The apple harvest has come three

weeks earlier than last year Over the last 50 years,

we have lost 80% of our orchards. But those growers that remain have

been growing more apples to meet a Some things are always the same.

Every apple that we buy has to be picked by hand. There is no other

way to do it. These apples will be going to the supermarket, btt the

pecking is early because of the conditions this year being just

right. John started farming fruit nearly 20 years ago. Now he produces

nearly 2% of the national crop of apples and pears. This is one of the

earliest harvests on record. We have had good temperatures they and night

had good temperatures they `nd night and above average rain. This has

brought the crop forward. Wd will be harvesting the apples the wdeks

earlier this year. 50 years ago, there were many orchards here. But

most have been pulled up because it was too difficult to competd with

imports. This is the future of fruit growing. It is intensive, but

imports. This is the future of fruit growing. It is intensive, btt it

imports. This is the future of fruit growing. It is intensive, but it is

growing. It is intensive, btt it is profitable. We planted this farm

over the last ten years. It is all new orchards and new stock. We get

very good crops. Sometimes we take 15 or 20 tonnes per acre. There is

increased consumer demand for apples and pears. Consumers are concerned

of the effects on the climate. That has given great support to local

supply. It supports local communities and businesses. 60% of

the apples that we buy are hmported, the apples that we buy are hmported,

but that is falling. Shoppers and supermarkets now want more fruit

that is produced at home. That will come from farms like this.

It has been a fantastic aftdrnoon at the Commonwealth Games `

Yes, success in the cycling but the main attraction yet again h`s come

in the gymnastics, with gymnasts from our region battling for medals.

The details now with Tom Williams, who is in Glasgow.

It was one of the most eagerly anticipated moments

It came in the Hydro Arena behind me in the gymnastics:

happy to be ended with these was such an amazing final and I was

happy to be ended with thesd two happy to be ended with these two

guys. It was a great final to be involved in. Scoring a 16 is huge.

Well done to my team`mate who won as well. I went for a difficult

routine. At the end, I was tired and I had nothing left to give. It was

great fun. However a little earlier, M`x

Whitlock did win another gold ` his He has another chance this evening

in the rings final, and one more chance tomorrow in

another apparatus final, to conclude Away from the Hydro Arena and onto

the streets of Glasgow ` cycling's time trial today certainly lade

getting around the city hard work. All the taxi drivers were whinging,

but two of our cyclists had reason He missed

the Tour de France through illness. Silver for Norfolk's Emma Pooley,

who is retiring after the games. Hunger and desire are commonplace

in elite sport. Alex Dowsett had anger too, fuelling

his veins, as he set off on his time He missed London 2012 with

a broken elbow, he has battled A bout of bronchitis scuppered

his Tour de France dream through No one wanted that today more than I

did. Obviously there was disappointment I

was not picked Right back to when I was a kid,

I pull something out of the bag Norfolk's Emma Pooley was

battling emotions too. Her time trial was her cycling

swansong before retirement. She faced a straight shootout

for gold with New Zealand. She led at every time check,

but the Kiwi power on the final It was close,

but I am glad to be on the podium. When you come through

and the one person behind you was quicker it is a little bit

disappointing, but I do not think I Even if I had,

I would have had to be satisfied. There is no rest

for these two either. Both are back on the bike

in the road race on Sunday. And there is a real hope

for another gold tonight ? it is at Cambridgeshire's Ellen Falkner

and her English team mates battle They are guaranteed silver

after beating Wales this afternoon. Now, to one of the last night's

highlights and long jump gold for Injury meant he was a doubt to even

compete here, but our Olympic champion stepped up to the lark

and proved his critics wrong. I spoke to him the morning

after the night before. Congratulations. What is it like for

you to add a Commonwealth mddal Congratulations. What is it like for

you to add a Commonwealth medal to you to add a Commonwealth mddal to

the Olympic medal? A huge sense of the Olympic medal? A huge sense of

relief. It was great to know that I can still perform at the highest

level. It shows that I am not a one`hit wonder, which some people

had said. What is it about you one`hit wonder, which some people

had said. What is it about xou and had said. What is it about xou and

your ability to perform when it matters the most? I love behng in

matters the most? I love being in those environments. It is good to

have a crowd cheering you on. They want you to do well. They get behind

want you to do well. They gdt behind you. You have to feed off of that.

That is what I tried to do. That is what I do every time. They `re

what I do every time. They are cheering for you to do well. Some

have suggested that you werd lucky have suggested that you were lucky

to win at the Olympics. Absolutely. It takes years and years of training

and hard work and pushing your body to the limit. After that, I had

major injuries that could h`ve ended major injuries that could have ended

my career. It is hard. When you are getting up early every morning and

you are pushing yourself hard, then you have someone having a go at you

who has no idea of the journey that you have been on. It is hard to

take. You have to think, I will prove people wrong with my

performance. I would like to think that I have gone some way in doing

so. Hopefully, in a couple of weeks' time I can do it again and that will

put it to bed. I am going to be a new dad. I am very excited. I will

be having my first child, wdll new dad. I am very excited. I will

be having my first child, well not me obviously but my partner. We

cannot wait to start a family, it is going to be fantastic.
