In Look East this lunchtime: | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The Paralympic athlete who says she was | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
"robbed of her dignity" after being given no choice | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
Hands Off - a new media campaign is launched to warn | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
of the dangers of using a mobile phone while driving. | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
And have we got further icy starts on the way? | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
I'll tell you in the forecast, coming up. | :00:21. | :00:34. | |
An award-winning Paralympic athlete says she was "robbed of her dignity" | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
after being given no choice but to wet herself on a train. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
from Harlow, found the only disabled toilet was out of order. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
She says she was left humiliated after the train company | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
The 42-year-old wheelchair racer is a board member of UK Athletics, | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
and was awarded an MBE for her services | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
She was returning to Harlow from a board meeting in Coventry | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
last month when her train journey of almost three hours | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
The CrossCountry train's disabled toilet was out of order. | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
A member of the train crew suggested she get off the train at a station | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
to use the disabled toilets there, but there were no staff | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
She couldn't wait until the train reached Peterborough. | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
When you are in that situation, that is when you really | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
I rarely feel disabled because I like to get | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
I would like to be in the community to support others. | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
But when that happened to me, I just realised that, you know, | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
sometimes when you are different, you are so isolated. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
The world disqualifies you from having a normal life. | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
It is as though, when you have a disability, | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
you don't deserve to have equal rights in the community. | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
The MP for Harlow, Robert Halfon, has taken up her complaints | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
Describing the service as appalling, totally unacceptable | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
A spokesperson for CrossCountry said... | :02:07. | :02:27. | |
Anne Wafula Strike says, despite her humiliation, | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
she decided to speak out in the hope of bringing about change. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Too many people with disabilities, she says, suffer in silence. | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
A man's died after his car was hit by a train on a level crossing | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
It happened just after ten o'clock, close to Lidlington station. | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
The train was the 9.35 Bedford to Bletchley service. | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
11 passengers, along with the driver and conductor, were unhurt. | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
Two people arrested on suspicion of murdering a man in Jaywick | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
Paramedics were called to a house in Bentley Avenue | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
on New Year's Day morning, where they found a man's body. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
after being assaulted on New Year's Eve. | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
A new campaign's been launched by the media across Suffolk | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
and Norfolk today to warn of the dangers of using a mobile | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
It's called Hands Off, and is backed by local BBC | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
With much tougher fines, new police kit to catch the culprits, | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
and more publicity than ever before, you might have thought the message | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
We want you to pledge not to use your mobile | :03:36. | :03:49. | |
So now, a new timely plea backed by multimedia muscle urging drivers | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
to see sense by signing up for what could well prove | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
a life-saving and life-changing New Year's resolution. | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
But with Radio Norfolk involved, local newspapers as well, we can | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
It is brilliant that the local media wants to play a part in this. | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
The campaign today was backed on-air by the police. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
And from listeners, plenty of scare stories. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
I was driving just before Christmas, and a coach was coming | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
The coach driver had to turn, one hand on the wheel, | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
and one hand on his mobile phone, up to his ear. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
I think this is gathering momentum nationally. | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
People are beginning to see it as a real mustn't | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
Go onto Facebook, keep your hands off your phone is the page. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
The advice is simple - if you the tempted to touch it, | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
And if there is any doubt, put it in the boot, well out of reach. | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
The drugs giant Astra Zeneca will start moving staff | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
into its new global headquarters in Cambridge later this year. | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
Building work on the ?330 million project is at its peak. | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
It's one of a number of big developments in the business world | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
a building which will make this region one of the leading centres | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
Four years ago, Astra Zeneca said it would move its global | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
At the Cambridge biomedical campus, facilities for 2000 | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
The first of them will move in later this year. | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
At the moment, they are scattered around eight sites in the area, | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
including this office on the science park. | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
There aren't many times in your career as a scientist | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
where you can work with designers, build your own building | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
that is dedicated to the science that you are undertaking. | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
It really is a sense of excitement for Astra Zeneca as a whole, | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
but also the scientists that are going to be working | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
This year should see a big expansion at Stansted. | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
The leisure airline Jet 2 will move 83 flights a week | :06:06. | :06:08. | |

Dudgeon field off North Norfolk should start to produce its first | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
power in the spring, while the Galloper field off Suffolk | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
This year, we will continue with the foundation installation | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
We will start our A cables, that's the cables that connect | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
We'll also put in the second export cable from the beach at Sizewell. | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
We will start turbine installation, and then, of course, | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
we need the offshore substation, which is the large structure, we | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
So it is really all happening this year. | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
The Government will trigger Article 50 by the end of March. | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
After which Britain's exit negotiations from the EU will begin. | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
While those talks will take years, companies here will want to retain | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
good access to the single market, and have a migration system | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
that allows them access to the people they need. | :07:10. | :07:18. | |
Time now for the weather forecast with Georgina Burnett. | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
We are going to finish on a much cloudier note than where we started | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
today. It was cold and frosty but there was blue skies on fire and | :07:35. | :07:45. | |
lovely sunrises, as captured here. Thank you for your photographs. This | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
afternoon, not too much blue sky. As the cloud gradually increases. | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
Temperatures up to around five or six Celsius. Holding onto that cloud | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
through the night, which will serve as a blanket. Feeling milder than | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
last night, but a north-westerly breeze will develop, which will be | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
fairly fresh. A few outbreaks of light rain. It's maybe warmer | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
through the night than during the day. Tomorrow morning, quite a lot | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
of cloud. Further outbreaks of rain mainly through the morning. That | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
cloud should lift NANB. Leaving as with beautiful winter sunshine. | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
Along the coast, it's maybe we will see more outbreaks through the day. | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
Temperatures up to five or six Celsius- still chilly. These will be | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
cold to start the day. Frost expected, fog patches and freezing | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
fog is possible. It does brighten up, but Friday not so much. Quite a | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
lot of cloud. A band of rain sinking southwards. We will see that later | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
and through the night was a clearing interviewee came, giving us a bright | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
weekend with a chill in the air. The temperatures will improve a little. | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
You will be scraping more windscreens on Thursday morning. But | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
was the weekend, approaching figures again. | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
OK that's all from the lunchtime team. | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
Do join us again for Look East tonight at 6.30pm. | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
Panorama investigates the deadly terrorist attack | :09:27. | :09:51. | |
