First tonight, the dramatic rise in the number

of people suspected of downloading and distributing child pornography.

A BBC investigation has shown most of our police forces

In Cambridgeshire, there were 81 suspected offenders in 2014 -

but that's gone up to almost 200 last year.

In the same period in Hertfordshire, the number's more

there today and you can go on there as yourself, you can pretend

yourself that you are 14 or 15-year-old person and in reality,

you are a 40-year-old male or 30 or 40-year-old female.

They will start engaging with the individuals,

getting their trust, and that's where the problems occur

How many suspects are we looking at in this case?

Despite doubling the size of their team and

arresting more suspects, the police say they are still only

getting to a fraction of these offenders.

Parents are letting children go onto the

Internet from the age of four, five, six years old where, probably ten

years ago, they wouldn't have been allowed to have a phone.

I don't think we'll ever be able to reflect how

bad it is in terms of what people are willing to do to the most

vulnerable people in society - children.

One person who was made aware of this danger is Sarah, who

decided to meet a man she first met online

We changed her name to protect her anonymity.

I went on this app and we started messaging.

Basically, we agreed to meet, I lied to my mum, and we ended

obviously he didn't, he just wanted to use me like a rag doll.

I asked Stephen Mold if more people are accessing

really tracking these people down very carefully.

No, one of the things the police and crime

is making sure there is absolutely a very serious deterrent to make

We need to make sure we educate children to make sure that

actually they protect themselves in the first place.

What can they do to make sure children are less vulnerable?

Anybody who cares for people with dementia

will tell you music can be very important.

It can unlock memories and start a conversation.

A familiar song or piece of music can be a source of joy and comfort.

Today, in Essex, that was demonstrated when musicians

and people with dementia came together for a musical event.

It was the culmination of weeks of workshops in Saffron Walden

The project is called Music For Thought.

It's the music is created and celebrated.

people who have dementia team up with top musicians from the Royal

In the football this weekend the East Anglian derby:

Fans of Ipswich Town went home happier than Norwich fans

because Norwich desperately need the points to get

But the Norwich boss hasn't given up on a top six finish.

Ipswich 15th after another dramatic derby day.

Derby day - always tense, always emotional.

Tensions at times running even higher. Ipswich desperate to stop

them and get a win over their rivals in eight years.

Pound took the lead with only on target. Celebrations did not last

long as Jacob Murphy soon cancelled it out. Despite Ipswich lead, they

will be happy with a point as Norwich carry greater threat. It

leaves them six points of the play-offs and 12 to play. It is a

game we had to win. There has to be something miraculous from now if we

are going to go up. We have not won it for years now. We will take the

we could not hang on. It was a good we could not hang on. It was a good

derby. I enjoyed it. You said you would be happy with a point. You got

a point but are you happy? Yes. I think we have to be resolute and

organised and hard-working. I have not seen it, the penalty. It doesn't

upset me greatly, to be honest. The fans are frustrated. They feel flat

because... There are still positive noises coming from you. There are

still six points. I think we have four of the top six till to play. It

does in our hands. How much do you think it dents Norwich's play-off

hopes? It is quite clear the gap is six points to Sheffield Wednesday

and they go to Sheffield Wednesday this weekend. It is win or bust,

really. He is not too frustrated with the point? It is another solid

point. You go back three or four weeks ago and we were feeling the

worst. For Norwich fans, the think another challenge season is ahead.

Consolation for some but for others, the season is not over just yet.

As a region, we're spoilt for choice when it comes

You can cruise the canals, go sailing on the broads.

Now, there's another option - a pedal boat.

It's the brainchild of an engineer from Norfolk.

Think seaside pedalo, but with knobs on.

Is it a boat? Is it a bike's no, this is a pedal boat. We have a

lovely day for it. Glorious, isn't it? The weather is lousy and if this

is Hollyrood, we would wait. This is look east, so we get wet. Sit on the

seat. You will be able to adjust it forward and backwards or stop we go

backwards and one of the unique things about this boat is if you

pedal backwards, you go backwards. You have brakes on the water.

Nothing new about pedal boats exactly, but comfort and quality can

sometimes be an issue. No such problems for Stephen. He has a

background in motor engineering, unsurprisingly, the boat has a

clever design. When you are facing me and we are both peddling

forwards, when the chains get to the bottom, the fourth going in

different directions. The Cure box has to cope with that and drive a

single shelf to a propeller. The company here is called dad's boat.

The dad in question is Stephen's father-in-law, David. He came up

with the original design more than 50 years ago. My hobby was making

toy sailing boats and I experimented with various things. It wasn't very

scientific but it worked. We have clocked about six miles per hour on

our GPS. You can do that for about our GPS. You can do that for about

30 metres and you are exhausted, so there is not much point. Take it

gently and you can go for hours. The pedal boat costs a cool ?10,000. Not

cheap. What a lovely thing. I do not think I have ever seen Michael

look so uncomfortable. Let's get the weather now. A fairly cool and

showery start to the week. Turning left cold as we head into March.

Here is our jet stream. A lot of cold air in that. The perfect recipe

of sunshine and showers. As we go through the rest of the week, it

becomes more westerly of the Atlantic and much more mobile.

Occasional outbreaks of rain. Here is the radar picture for today. The

bands of shower working northwards and eastwards. A lot of clouds and

in between brightness and sunshine. Some of these showers have been

quite heavy and he'll mixed in as well. Some of the scenes from our

Weather Watchers, reminiscent of April showers and downpours in

places. We continue with the trend this evening and tonight. A mixture

of clear spells and showers. Some could be quite heavy and sleet mixed

in and heal as well. A chilly zero in and heal as well. A chilly zero

or one Celsius. Ice perhaps an untreated surfaces. The wind easing

down a touch. Wind around on Tuesday and a lot of dry weather tomorrow.

Less showers compared with Monday. Sunshine as well. The cloud

thickening and more organised in terms of showery rain from the west.

Seven or eight Celsius. It will feel quite chilly tomorrow with the wind.

Hopefully more sunshine than on Monday. Wednesday, settling down

temporarily but we will see this weather front washing up from the

south west. A lot of dry weather and some hazy sunshine around for much

of the day. Cloud increasing from the north and rain feeding into

southern parts of the region late on in the afternoon. Temperatures up to

nine Celsius. Here is that front bringing rain on Wednesday evening

and pushing north. Its style somewhere to the north of the

region. Uncertainty about how quickly the rain clears. A lot of

dry weather and spells of sunshine. The wind picking up. A blustery day.

Ten or 11 Celsius. As we head towards Friday and the weekend, low

pressure in charge. The areas rain. At this stage, levels of uncertainty

about how quickly those bands of rain will work their way in. Wetter

for the end of the week. Friday looking wet at times and quite

windy. Temperatures lower at eight or nine or 10 Celsius. That is the

story into the weekend, changeable, wet at times and dry spells. Take a

look at the windy weather as well. That is it. We will see you tomorrow

night. Goodbye. To be in the Lords,

you have to be punctual...
