That puts us ahead of the pack internationally in terms of the

:00:00.:00:21.

research we do. How worried should we be about young

:00:22.:00:23.

people's mental health? One charity says its

:00:24.:00:26.

alarmed by its findings. The Suffolk community that raised

:00:27.:00:28.

?300,000 to buy its own pub, And I am stepping back in time to

:00:29.:00:42.

Renaissance Italy here at the Fitzwilliam Museum.

:00:43.:00:50.

First tonight, the multi-million pound hub

:00:51.:00:55.

for food and health research which is being built in Norwich.

:00:56.:00:58.

The Quadram Institute is at the Norwich Research Park.

:00:59.:01:01.

It will build on the city's growing reputation for life sciences.

:01:02.:01:05.

Across the park, 3,000 scientists will work together to carry out

:01:06.:01:09.

pioneering research to prevent disease, improve treatments

:01:10.:01:13.

and increase our understanding of human nutrition and wellbeing.

:01:14.:01:16.

This is the heart of the Norwich Research Park were hospital staff

:01:17.:01:31.

and researchers are neighbours. In future some of them will be sharing

:01:32.:01:37.

the same building, the same canteen and more importantly ideas and in

:01:38.:01:41.

that building will be labs built out of glass so patients can watch

:01:42.:01:45.

scientists as they discover new treatments and claws.

:01:46.:01:47.

It is hoped this will be a world leading hub.

:01:48.:01:49.

300 scientists, 100 hospital staff researching food, diet,

:01:50.:01:52.

health and treating patients under one roof.

:01:53.:01:55.

It is a vision now turning into a reality.

:01:56.:01:58.

It is a year into its build, a year before it opens its doors.

:01:59.:02:03.

Bringing it all together in one place at one time,

:02:04.:02:05.

it's nice in terms of the timing of it, it's at the right

:02:06.:02:08.

place at the right time to deliver the right science.

:02:09.:02:12.

It will be run by the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital,

:02:13.:02:17.

carrying out 40,000 endoscopies a year, looking at the digestive

:02:18.:02:21.

system, screening the bowel, discovering the early

:02:22.:02:23.

We are trying to bring the research and the clinical staff that

:02:24.:02:30.

are involved in medical procedures closer together, but it is also

:02:31.:02:35.

They will be able to see and understand that it is not just

:02:36.:02:40.

They are understanding there is research taking place

:02:41.:02:44.

in an institute that will one day hopefully lead to new treatments.

:02:45.:02:46.

The facility will be twice the size of the existing one at the Norfolk

:02:47.:02:50.

Seriously ill patients will still be admitted here,

:02:51.:02:53.

but outpatients could help with research at the

:02:54.:02:56.

That ability to take routine biopsies while patients

:02:57.:03:01.

are undergoing their diagnostic tests, if they can be sent to do

:03:02.:03:06.

that in an ethical way, we can build up tissue banks

:03:07.:03:09.

with huge amounts of clinical data for study and to understand

:03:10.:03:12.

scientific advances at that interaction point.

:03:13.:03:15.

It is not until you come into this new building that you realise how

:03:16.:03:18.

Over there is the University of East Anglia's medical research

:03:19.:03:22.

centre, then you've got the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and just

:03:23.:03:25.

It is here that they are linking diet and health.

:03:26.:03:32.

Dr Britney Hazard is trying to breed a healthier variety of wheat.

:03:33.:03:36.

She is keen to share her findings with those at the new institute.

:03:37.:03:41.

It would be beneficial because I could have direct

:03:42.:03:43.

interaction with other researchers, direct access to the facilities

:03:44.:03:49.

The Quadram Institute hopes it will one day be recognised globally

:03:50.:03:54.

for its research and clinical expertise, discovering

:03:55.:03:56.

Professor Ian Charles is the Director of the Quadram Institute.

:03:57.:04:11.

I spoke to him earlier and asked how unusual this kind of collaboration

:04:12.:04:19.

was in the world of science. Terribly important to understand

:04:20.:04:26.

that it is unusual to bring together clinical science alongside a

:04:27.:04:29.

clinical trials unit with basic science. That puts us ahead of the

:04:30.:04:35.

pack even internationally in terms of the research we do. How

:04:36.:04:40.

significant is this in situ in solidifying Norwich's position in

:04:41.:04:46.

the life science field? It is terribly significant. Norwich

:04:47.:04:51.

Research Park is a fantastic fund or oration of research are fought so

:04:52.:04:57.

bringing all the elements together we have a real critical mass of

:04:58.:05:01.

scientists who can apply their field of study to the impact of food on

:05:02.:05:07.

health. That impact is being seen to be more and more important.

:05:08.:05:14.

Absolutely and it is trying to understand how those basic

:05:15.:05:19.

parameters work. Of course, now we are mostly microbes in the way we

:05:20.:05:25.

are composed. We think of ourselves as human beings but we carry a whole

:05:26.:05:32.

load of microorganisms and they contribute to the biochemical

:05:33.:05:35.

pathways that make a contribution to our food and health. There have been

:05:36.:05:39.

a lot of concerns about Brexit. Are you worried about the funding

:05:40.:05:47.

sources of the future? Of course. Brexit has introduced a degree of

:05:48.:05:52.

insecurity, however our goal is to be accident and of course if we are

:05:53.:05:58.

an excellent research Institute we will attract the best and brightest

:05:59.:06:03.

minds and we will attract funding, so I am confident that we will be

:06:04.:06:08.

able to have a way forward. If you were to say to the viewers tonight

:06:09.:06:12.

wipe this institute should matter to them and how it might affect their

:06:13.:06:18.

lives, what would you say? We all know we are what we eat and we have

:06:19.:06:26.

seen increasingly problems related to people's inability to handle some

:06:27.:06:31.

foods, certain allergies, certain questions about food, eating the

:06:32.:06:35.

right sort of food becomes important. I hope we make a will

:06:36.:06:41.

connection and have some output from our basic research that will impact

:06:42.:06:42.

on individuals and society. The police forces in Essex,

:06:43.:06:46.

Suffolk and Norfolk have all been rated as good

:06:47.:06:48.

by an independent watchdog. The Inspectorate of Constabulary

:06:49.:06:51.

says Norfolk Police is outstanding at preventing crime,

:06:52.:06:54.

tackling anti-social behaviour Although good overall,

:06:55.:06:57.

the force in Essex needs to work on how it protects the vulnerable

:06:58.:07:03.

and supports victims. Essex's Chief Constable

:07:04.:07:06.

arriving at the BBC for If you would like to speak

:07:07.:07:12.

to the Chief Constable Stephen Kavanagh welcomed a report

:07:13.:07:18.

that had just been published by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of

:07:19.:07:23.

Constabulary. All of those officers and staff

:07:24.:07:26.

who have just come off night duty, who are going home to bed,

:07:27.:07:29.

they should stop and have a little smile to themselves,

:07:30.:07:32.

because it is all their hard work that has been recognised

:07:33.:07:35.

in this report. The HMRC rated Essex Police is good

:07:36.:07:37.

at preventing crime, tackling anti-social behaviour

:07:38.:07:39.

and keeping people safe, but it said the force requires

:07:40.:07:42.

improvement in how it protects those who are vulnerable from harm

:07:43.:07:45.

and supports victims. I never want to see requires

:07:46.:07:50.

improvement, but the officers and staff are complemented in this

:07:51.:07:53.

report about the substantial changes they have made that

:07:54.:07:56.

still require embedding, but the enormous investment

:07:57.:07:59.

that my officers and staff have made in changing the way that they deal

:08:00.:08:02.

with the vulnerable. In Norfolk the Chief Constable paid

:08:03.:08:05.

tribute to his staff after the HMRC said the county's force

:08:06.:08:08.

is outstanding at preventing crime. It places us as one of the best

:08:09.:08:13.

performing forces in the country and real credit has to go to the men

:08:14.:08:16.

and women of the Norfolk It covers 27 different agencies,

:08:17.:08:19.

including the police in one room so people's problems can be

:08:20.:08:31.

addressed quickly before they reach Individuals can walk

:08:32.:08:34.

in to the early help hub It could be financial help,

:08:35.:08:42.

help with benefits, drug addiction and alcohol

:08:43.:08:45.

addiction, domestic abuse. Problems can be triggered by many

:08:46.:08:55.

things and people don't realise the impact that might have, so the

:08:56.:09:00.

sooner we can engage with people, the more able we are to help them.

:09:01.:09:07.

The HMRC praised the way some forces responded to cuts. They becoming

:09:08.:09:11.

creasing the more efficient, they have made smart use of new

:09:12.:09:19.

technology. Back in Essex a PC and PCS to watch on the beat. The

:09:20.:09:25.

force's policing was praised but maintaining the performance will be

:09:26.:09:33.

tricky with more cuts on the way. A court has been told as a residential

:09:34.:09:39.

home had systemic failures before a boy was drowned. He died on a visit

:09:40.:09:47.

to the pits in July 2000 and 13. Kosovo homes admitted breaching

:09:48.:09:52.

health and safety rules. A judge at the Old Bailey has reserved

:09:53.:09:58.

sentencing. The teenager drowned despite no skimming signs. They too

:09:59.:10:02.

care workers who took the boy to the site were cleared of any wrongdoing.

:10:03.:10:06.

A village pub in Suffolk, which has been shut for two

:10:07.:10:09.

years, is about to reopen after it was bought

:10:10.:10:11.

Campaigners have just got the keys for the Duke of Marlborough

:10:12.:10:14.

at Somersham near Ipswich after raising more than ?300,000.

:10:15.:10:22.

The Duke himself is looking faded, the building which bears his name

:10:23.:10:27.

forlorn but all that is about to change. A new chapter, a new lease

:10:28.:10:34.

of life is looming. It has been a long journey for the campaigners

:10:35.:10:39.

since the doors shut on Christmas eve in 2014. We joined them in the

:10:40.:10:43.

autumn of 2015 for their launch of their sale of shares. More than 230

:10:44.:10:49.

people has since invested, most local, and more are still coming on

:10:50.:10:54.

board, all keen to be part of something special, vital to this

:10:55.:10:59.

community. It was fantastic to get the keys and walk inside and see the

:11:00.:11:04.

place, all our dreams have been achieved. I am an optimist so I knew

:11:05.:11:09.

it would happen. Some did not think it would happen and we proved them

:11:10.:11:15.

wrong. It will be really challenging, but I think the trick

:11:16.:11:20.

lies in making sure that we have more than just a pub offer. It has

:11:21.:11:26.

to do things like offer Wi-Fi, make people comfortable during the

:11:27.:11:30.

daytime so they can come and work, have a cup of coffee, it has to be a

:11:31.:11:35.

hub of a community that has things going on in the daytime. It has to

:11:36.:11:41.

have that special something about the food, drunk and welcome to make

:11:42.:11:46.

people want to come back again. Some are shown once had three pubs, this

:11:47.:11:51.

is the last standing and should have a soft launch in the next couple of

:11:52.:11:59.

months. The juke goofily standing profitable and proud once more.

:12:00.:12:07.

The Renaissance exhibition in Cambridge with objects rescued

:12:08.:12:11.

How many of us know a young person with a mental health problem? You

:12:12.:12:34.

may know one but may not realise it. One in four young people in the East

:12:35.:12:38.

would not confide in someone if they were experiencing

:12:39.:12:41.

a mental health problem, according to a survey

:12:42.:12:43.

by The Prince's Trust. The charity also found many

:12:44.:12:45.

young people worry that mental health issues

:12:46.:12:47.

could affect their job prospects. Even the Prince's Trust was alarmed

:12:48.:12:49.

by its own findings. Alarmed that 80% of 16-24 year olds

:12:50.:12:54.

surveyed still feel a stigma talking It suggests that 46%,

:12:55.:13:00.

almost half of young people in the region,

:13:01.:13:05.

have experienced And a third of them, 34%,

:13:06.:13:08.

say they didn't seek any help. When Alice turned eight, the man she

:13:09.:13:23.

idolised, her father, was sent to prison. Alice began to suffer from

:13:24.:13:28.

depression and anxiety. Apart from close friends, others at her school

:13:29.:13:32.

bullied her and her self-esteem crumpled. I struggled to trust

:13:33.:13:38.

people. I had no motivation to do anything and it was awful. My mum,

:13:39.:13:44.

who is a successful woman, I wanted to be like her but had no

:13:45.:13:50.

motivation. The Princes trust says greater expectations at school, peer

:13:51.:13:57.

pressure, fears over getting a job, a home, all play a part. A lot of

:13:58.:14:00.

young people are struggling on their own and what we are aiming to do is

:14:01.:14:05.

how we support young people to have the confidence to speak up to the

:14:06.:14:11.

people around them. Young royal patronage helps break down the

:14:12.:14:15.

stigma over mental health. From chatting to children in Essex about

:14:16.:14:19.

classroom pressures to visiting this project to improve youngsters

:14:20.:14:24.

confidence and the role of employers is crucial. Luton airport has

:14:25.:14:29.

trained 150 young people suggested by the Princes trust. 86 have found

:14:30.:14:35.

a job. The key thing is to give these young adults opportunities at

:14:36.:14:41.

the airport. We can show them the door that they can open themselves.

:14:42.:14:46.

It was the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital that opened the door for

:14:47.:14:52.

Alice. She is working towards a degree in nursing. Excited, but

:14:53.:14:56.

really scared and happy as well. Really happy and I feel like the

:14:57.:15:03.

experience I have got will mean I do well. I never thought I would say

:15:04.:15:11.

that. I feel good now. As a young ambassador for the Princes trust,

A head teacher in Harlow has told Look East he will resign rather

:15:35.:15:37.

than sack staff if his school loses out under the government's

:15:38.:15:41.

Passmore's Academy in Harlow is one of nearly 1,000 schools in the East

:15:42.:15:47.

According to the government, more than 70% of schools in Suffolk,

:15:48.:15:55.

Bedford Borough, Peterborough and Essex will get more cash.

:15:56.:15:59.

But it's a bleaker picture in Luton and in Southend - no schools

:16:00.:16:03.

This from our reporter Mousumi Bakshi.

:16:04.:16:14.

Vic is a busy man, a man who could put himself out of a job last year.

:16:15.:16:23.

He is facing a cut of ?750 and he could lose up to 20 teachers. I have

:16:24.:16:29.

let them know that for that year I will draw the plan up on how they

:16:30.:16:34.

can save that money but I will not implement it. There will be a

:16:35.:16:38.

difficult choice for me and them in the fact that I will either have to

:16:39.:16:43.

leave or they will have to get rid of me because I am not willing to do

:16:44.:16:55.

that. There were always going to be winners and losers as a result of

:16:56.:16:58.

the school funding. Around 11,000 schools are set to benefit with 9000

:16:59.:17:01.

losing out. Across the country there have been protests and at least one

:17:02.:17:06.

headteacher resignation. According to the government, funding is at an

:17:07.:17:11.

all-time high but bills are going up so in real terms, schools are

:17:12.:17:15.

feeling poorer. Under the changes, all schools will be given a lump sum

:17:16.:17:20.

but take into account local geography. It is surprising that in

:17:21.:17:27.

Luton one of the poorest pockets of the country 57 out of 59 primary

:17:28.:17:33.

schools will the budget is cut. If the idea was to give the funding to

:17:34.:17:39.

those areas where there is the greatest need, greatest deprivation,

:17:40.:17:44.

then one would think any government would put that as a priority, but

:17:45.:17:49.

this is not the case in terms of Luton. From another critic,

:17:50.:17:54.

accusations the government has simply got its sums wrong. For too

:17:55.:18:01.

long, government has failed that there is disparity in funding. That

:18:02.:18:06.

may be true but that is not the same essay question which is the one we

:18:07.:18:09.

are setting which is are we spending the right amount on education? If

:18:10.:18:18.

the budget cuts bite, how much longer will this headteacher be

:18:19.:18:20.

educating pupils? The Department for Education said

:18:21.:18:24.

school funding in Essex would go up by over ?20 million

:18:25.:18:27.

if the new funding The system

:18:28.:18:29.

for distributing current funding is unfair, opaque and outdated

:18:30.:18:34.

and we want to end You can see more on this story

BBC One, on Sunday. It wasn't to be for Luton Town

:18:42.:18:46.

fans who were dreaming The Hatters faced Oxford

:18:47.:18:49.

in the semifinal of the Checkatrade trophy last night, but were beaten

:18:50.:18:54.

by a goal in the 84th minute. That was after a brave fight back,

:18:55.:18:59.

which nearly saw them take They must now pick themselves up

:19:00.:19:02.

and go for promotion. A night that promised so much. The

:19:03.:19:18.

price of a Wembley final. Luton are in the middle of a promotion push

:19:19.:19:22.

but they only had eyes for Oxford. They were ready for a dramatic

:19:23.:19:28.

night. Leaked two against League 1 and the Hatters had the bar

:19:29.:19:32.

rattling. Jake Gray will be kicking himself it wasn't 1-0. Luton were

:19:33.:19:42.

still full of running and thought that equalised. It was difficult to

:19:43.:19:46.

tell if they had to have crossed the line. And its bird Oxford on and

:19:47.:19:54.

they doubled their lead. Martin Johnson's cross into the back of the

:19:55.:20:03.

net. Luton finally got the goal to reignite their Wembley wish. With

:20:04.:20:11.

the clock ticking, Kenilworth Road exploded from 2-0 down it was 2-2.

:20:12.:20:18.

Danny Hilton with goal number 24 the season. Extra time loomed but then

:20:19.:20:27.

disaster struck just two minutes later, the Hatters switched off from

:20:28.:20:31.

a corner and Johnston pounced. Without doubt the goal of the game

:20:32.:20:38.

and Oxford were going to Wembley. The Hatters heartbroken, manager

:20:39.:20:43.

seething at the defensive lapse. A Coventry Oxford final, Luton's fall

:20:44.:20:49.

focus now on promotion. We have to be relentless. We have to show that

:20:50.:20:54.

we wanted. But this disappointment behind us and get promoted because

:20:55.:20:59.

that is the goal. One route to Wembley is blocked for Luton but

:21:00.:21:01.

there is always the play-off final. Now the Renaissance, meaning

:21:02.:21:05.

rebirth, saw a profound change in artistic style and the revival

:21:06.:21:07.

of learning in Europe The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge

:21:08.:21:09.

has one of the finest collections of Renaissance paintings

:21:10.:21:13.

in the country and while we now see objects from that time

:21:14.:21:15.

as treasures, a major new exhibition, Madonnas

:21:16.:21:18.

and Miracles, aims to show they were instead everyday domestic

:21:19.:21:19.

items of devotion. The exhibition features many

:21:20.:21:21.

beautiful objects never seen From golden Madonnas to devotional

:21:22.:21:34.

words to luxurious rock crystal rosaries, all on display at an

:21:35.:21:38.

exhibition with a difference. Broken up into intimate rooms to make it

:21:39.:21:43.

feel like a renaissance home. What we are trying to do is to create a

:21:44.:21:48.

piece of Renaissance Italy here in Cambridge. Often you see them

:21:49.:21:54.

denuded of any context. If you can try to recreate the original

:21:55.:21:59.

context, it helps the public understand the context in which

:22:00.:22:03.

these works of art would have been seen and appreciated. There are many

:22:04.:22:08.

Private devotional items such as this portable altar piece. The

:22:09.:22:13.

simple wooden panels were commissioned to give thanks for a

:22:14.:22:17.

miracle in this case surviving an earthquake. One of the exhibition

:22:18.:22:22.

highlights that they had never left Italy before and neither had this

:22:23.:22:28.

beautiful wooden doll. Venerated for generations with people queueing to

:22:29.:22:32.

kiss its feet, the Italian Franciscan nunnery where it was

:22:33.:22:35.

housed was destroyed by an earthquake in October. But this

and what that will mean for European funding of British academic

It opens to the public next Tuesday. Fascinating collection. I was in

Northampton this morning and it felt quite warm. Quite mild but it will

:23:46.:23:53.

get chilly tonight. Some showers earlier for some parts of the

region. Also some lovely sunshine so once the winds eased this afternoon,

it was quite pleasant but we have a changeable forecast on the way. This

South West which will bring us a wet forecast tonight and tomorrow and

that will hang around into the weekend. We start the evening dry

:24:19.:24:23.

with clear spells so it will allow things to get rather chilly and

:24:24.:24:32.

temperatures down to three two Celsius. Some patchy rain. Tomorrow

:24:33.:24:39.

we start with wet weather around. It will quickly spread northwards. Low

:24:40.:24:44.

pressure on the scene so expect a wet and windy forecast tomorrow. A

the end of the day, but across northern counties, it could stay

:25:05.:25:08.

rather overcast and wet but eventually the rain will clear. Then

we are into the weekend and it is pretty changeable. Low pressure on

the scene, weather front is coming our way, quite breezy conditions.

Rain at times, particularly for Sunday. Perhaps Sunday looks more of

a wash-out than Saturday. Temperatures of the nine Celsius.

:25:33.:25:35.

Rain clearing first thing on Saturday, brighter weather in the

middle before more rain. And uncertain start to next week and

chilly temperatures overnight. Just before we go, I'm sure

many of you will have children or grandchildren who dressed up
