:00:12. > :00:15.Either you sorted out all we sorted out. Simple as that! Furious scenes

:00:15. > :00:19.in Peterborough as taxi drivers accuse the police of not taking

:00:19. > :00:24.this attack seriously enough. Hello and welcome to Look East.

:00:24. > :00:27.Also tonight: Illegal dogs are seized in Essex.

:00:27. > :00:32.Experts say it's a growing problem. The wonders of nature on a landfill

:00:32. > :00:42.site, a Springwatch special. And a piece of English countryside

:00:42. > :00:49.

:00:49. > :00:51.that will be forever America in First tonight the police in

:00:51. > :00:56.Peterborough are forced to apologise for the way they've

:00:56. > :00:59.handled an investigation into an attack on a taxi driver.

:00:59. > :01:03.That apology came during a furious public meeting where dozens of taxi

:01:03. > :01:07.drivers confronted the police. Some drivers threatened to take the law

:01:07. > :01:16.into their own hands if nothing is done. Other accused the local

:01:17. > :01:21.council of racism. Our reporter Fatima Manji was there.

:01:21. > :01:24.Give us cs spray, give us battens and we will run the city far better

:01:24. > :01:31.than it you will! They say the police are failing

:01:31. > :01:36.them, and even the police admit they've made mistakes. We have said

:01:36. > :01:39.that we have got it wrong, we are sorry. Less than two weeks ago taxi

:01:39. > :01:43.driver Mohammed Farooq was attacked by five people. Now he and fellow

:01:43. > :01:49.drivers are demanding answers. They say the police were too slow to act

:01:49. > :01:55.in collecting evidence and aren't doing enough to protect them.

:01:55. > :02:01.are going to do it again. It is not me, it is other taxi drivers, some

:02:01. > :02:05.other old person. We are a residential area, my mother and

:02:05. > :02:08.sister live here. We wanted to stop. Anger too at the council. Many

:02:08. > :02:13.residents here say lax licensing laws have led to alcohol-fuelled

:02:13. > :02:21.violence. People are shouting, screaming, throwing bottles. What

:02:21. > :02:25.is that about? If it is not one club, it is another club. People

:02:25. > :02:29.who give the licence at do not realise it is a residential area.

:02:29. > :02:31.How come they do that when they know it is a residential area?

:02:31. > :02:36.Among the high tension, some accused the council of ignoring

:02:36. > :02:39.their voices because of the colour of their skin. We do not tolerate

:02:39. > :02:43.racism. It has not got anything to do with your religion or colour of

:02:43. > :02:47.skin. Everyone gets treated the same. But some are issuing an

:02:47. > :02:56.ultimatum to the authorities. Either you sort it out all we will

:02:56. > :03:02.sort it out. Simple as that!. would not put it exactly like that.

:03:02. > :03:05.If I am standing in front of my house with my family, if someone

:03:06. > :03:09.comes to attack me, if you are going to turn around and say I am

:03:09. > :03:14.violent, then it is up to you. authorities have promised to act,

:03:14. > :03:18.but the concern here is will it be fast enough.

:03:18. > :03:22.Cambridgeshire Police wouldn't put anyone up for interview today. But

:03:22. > :03:25.they issued a statement from Chief Inspector Kevin Vanterpool saying:

:03:25. > :03:35."This was a nasty attack which was treated very seriously, and a man

:03:35. > :03:35.

:03:35. > :03:38.and a woman have been arrested and He adds that they're going to

:03:38. > :03:48.change procedures and make sure that lessons are learnt. And the

:03:48. > :03:51.

:03:51. > :03:57.force will work closely with the What is the evidence of races and

:03:57. > :04:02.that the claim was made during the film? Sorry, can you repeat that,

:04:02. > :04:07.you cracked up their? What is the evidence of races and? We had those

:04:08. > :04:13.claims made during the film. -- race is him. It was in relation to

:04:13. > :04:21.how the police initially dealt with the actual assault and the

:04:21. > :04:25.perpetrators of the assault, and how after eyewitnesses had told

:04:25. > :04:32.them that the perpetrators are in such and such a location, the

:04:32. > :04:39.police had actually given them a police escort. They had taken them

:04:39. > :04:44.away from the scene. We felt that the police did not act

:04:44. > :04:52.appropriately on those grounds. Generally how they deal with a lot

:04:52. > :04:57.of times with taxi drivers is with very little regard. We feel

:04:57. > :05:01.victimised. The elements of races and within that 10 to comparable

:05:01. > :05:05.stock sorry to interrupt you, but there was a claim at last night

:05:05. > :05:14.that if some people say that you do not sort it out, we will sort it

:05:14. > :05:21.out. What do they mean? The local residents and the local community

:05:21. > :05:30.are very tolerant. The concerns of this matter in regards to the

:05:30. > :05:37.attack on the driver and the premises, we find that the

:05:37. > :05:41.community feel that... There was so much anger built up so this was an

:05:41. > :05:46.opportunity for them to address that in front of the police. Sorry

:05:46. > :05:52.to interrupt, but does that mean you would sanction vigilante action

:05:52. > :05:56.on the streets of Peterborough? we would not sanction a vigilante

:05:56. > :06:06.action on the streets whatsoever, but we hope to work closer with the

:06:06. > :06:10.

:06:10. > :06:14.police. We expect them them to apologise. They said they will

:06:15. > :06:24.learn lessons from this. Hopefully we can come to an amicable decision

:06:25. > :06:25.

:06:25. > :06:29.on this and move on from this. We want it resolved in the right way.

:06:29. > :06:36.But as community tensions build and people feel frustrated with the

:06:36. > :06:42.police, victimised, sometimes people's angers run high and

:06:42. > :06:46.tempers run high and things are said. Our duty as members of this

:06:46. > :06:52.community in is to work with the police and get the best out of the

:06:52. > :06:58.services that they provide. Very quickly, you are not going to get

:06:58. > :07:05.involved in violence on the streets of Peterborough? None whatsoever.

:07:05. > :07:14.We have had babies for presentation, that was last Saturday. Yesterday

:07:14. > :07:19.we had meetings with the police will stop -- a peaceful protest.

:07:19. > :07:24.Violence is not an issue here. Thank you very much for coming and

:07:24. > :07:27.making that clear this evening. Next, warnings over the increasing

:07:27. > :07:31.number of illegal, and dangerous, dogs. Just a reminder. Four breeds

:07:31. > :07:37.were outlawed by the 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act: The Pit Bull Terrier, the

:07:37. > :07:45.Japanese Tosa, the Dogo Argentino and the Fila Braziliero. But

:07:45. > :07:54.experts say that hasn't stopped thousands of people breeding them.

:07:54. > :07:59.This report from Gareth George. Police wardens deciding how to deal

:07:59. > :08:04.with suspects who may not come quietly. They are there to it sees

:08:04. > :08:14.dogs that run blues in a backyard, although one owner says that is not

:08:14. > :08:19.

:08:19. > :08:25.a problem. They have been fine. have a shop day. I also have an

:08:25. > :08:29.American Baldock. The police suspect the dog might be an illegal

:08:29. > :08:35.breed. A second suspected dark it is heard from the house. Its owner

:08:35. > :08:43.is clearly upset. It is part of the family, it plays and sleeps with my

:08:43. > :08:49.kids. Anyone can make a dog vicious, but we have not made her vicious a.

:08:49. > :08:53.It is only when we take her out. The dog wardens involved did not

:08:53. > :08:56.want to appear on camera. They are worried they could be targeted by

:08:56. > :09:01.the owner of an early goal darker. But they say more and more people

:09:01. > :09:05.seem to have pit-bull type of docks. The wardens say they are not

:09:05. > :09:09.looking after them properly and in some cases, even dump them.

:09:09. > :09:15.Police say owners of illegal breeds risk fines and having their dogs

:09:15. > :09:19.destroyed. You are committing a crime and police will take action

:09:19. > :09:23.alongside wardens at our agencies to remove those docks from the

:09:24. > :09:28.streets. The dogs seized today may be perfectly legal. They were

:09:28. > :09:38.driven off to kennels where an expert will examine them. Wardens

:09:38. > :09:38.

:09:38. > :09:41.are worried that there are dangerous dogs on the streets.

:09:41. > :09:45.Unemployment in the east has gone up for the first time in seven

:09:45. > :09:48.months. 191,000 are out of work, an increase of 7,000 on last month.

:09:48. > :09:50.That means 6.3% of the workforce is unemployed, still well below the

:09:50. > :09:53.national average. The Government wants private industry to create

:09:53. > :10:02.more jobs. But is that happening? This report from our business

:10:02. > :10:08.In India and China they're building one new coal-fired power station a

:10:08. > :10:11.week. Not good news for the environment, so they say, but here

:10:11. > :10:16.in Luton it's creating jobs. This firm makes the pumps which go into

:10:16. > :10:20.power plants. It also supplies the oil and gas and nuclear industries.

:10:20. > :10:29.Revenues are up by a third over two years, with the Far East leading

:10:29. > :10:34.the way. We have recruited extensively, primarily in the

:10:34. > :10:39.professional areas like engineering, project management and commercial.

:10:39. > :10:42.We also reinforcing the skills in what you might referred to as the

:10:42. > :10:45.blue-collar workforce. We have got a graduate and apprenticeship

:10:45. > :10:48.scheme now. Across the economy manufacturing is growing while

:10:48. > :10:50.other sectors struggle. People who can actually make things are in

:10:50. > :10:54.demand. Domino of Bar Hill in Cambridgeshire is a global leader

:10:54. > :10:59.in ink jet printing. The machines made here put marking codes on

:10:59. > :11:03.everything from eggs to drink cans. With export sales booming - again,

:11:03. > :11:13.to China and India - it's taking on 20 new workers a month, adding to

:11:13. > :11:13.

:11:13. > :11:17.the current workforce of 500. the next five years, we are

:11:17. > :11:20.planning to increase our work forced by a at least a third. The

:11:20. > :11:25.biggest challenge will be getting the right people with the right

:11:25. > :11:27.skills, particularly in engineering and manufacturing positions. While

:11:27. > :11:32.it's encouraging to see manufacturing firms recruiting they

:11:32. > :11:37.won't solve all our problems on their own.

:11:37. > :11:40.Only one in 10 of us works in manufacturing so even if factories

:11:40. > :11:43.take on a lot more people, it is not going to deliver jobs for

:11:43. > :11:46.everyone who needs them. We need other sectors - services,

:11:46. > :11:53.retailing, construction - to grow too. But the rebalancing of our

:11:53. > :11:56.economy has begun. Coming up later in the programme:

:11:56. > :11:59.Some great Springwatch pictures from a landfill site.

:11:59. > :12:09.And the university growing its own coral to try to combat climate

:12:09. > :12:11.

:12:11. > :12:15.The Princess Royal has been paying tribute to 200 soldiers who have

:12:15. > :12:18.just returned from their recent tour of Afghanistan. At a special

:12:18. > :12:26.ceremony in Colchester, Princess Anne she was handing out campaign

:12:26. > :12:28.medals. For many of the soldiers. It was their first time on the

:12:28. > :12:31.front line. You'd see your face reflected in

:12:31. > :12:33.every boot on the parade ground at Merville Barracks today. As the

:12:33. > :12:36.soldiers marched on and their families waited, their Colonel in

:12:36. > :12:41.Chief, the Princess Royal flew in to Colchester to honour their

:12:41. > :12:44.achievements. Taking time out to talk to many of them, she handed

:12:44. > :12:52.out operational service medals to 200 men and women, just back from

:12:52. > :12:57.six months on the front line in Afghanistan. The regiment has

:12:57. > :13:03.undertaken a very successful tour and you are all to be congratulated

:13:03. > :13:08.on a job very well done and on your safe return. It recognises what we

:13:08. > :13:14.are doing when the Colonel-in-Chief can take time out from her schedule.

:13:14. > :13:17.It is nice to come back and receive our medals and have this family day.

:13:17. > :13:20.It is to thank them for the support they have given us a while we were

:13:20. > :13:23.away. Without these soldiers, remote units would be unable to

:13:23. > :13:26.function. At huge risk of insurgent attacks, they drive for days to

:13:26. > :13:35.supply front line troops with ammunition, food, fuel and

:13:35. > :13:39.equipment. Others helped train Afghan troops. It was not the guys

:13:39. > :13:42.who had been there for the first time he were my concern, it was the

:13:42. > :13:47.ones who had been there before and had a thought of what Afghanistan

:13:47. > :13:51.was like. They were changing the nation -- nature of the operation

:13:51. > :13:54.out there so it was different for them. It was a bigger challenge.

:13:54. > :13:56.Today was a special one for these soldiers but perhaps almost more

:13:56. > :14:02.importantly for their families. A chance for the regiment to thanks

:14:03. > :14:06.those behind those on the front line. A police watchdog won't

:14:06. > :14:08.investigate the death of man shot at an animal sanctuary in Norfolk.

:14:09. > :14:13.The body of John Loveday was discovered on Sunday at Stratton

:14:13. > :14:17.Strawless. A 49-year-old woman has since been remanded in custody

:14:17. > :14:19.charged with murder. The case had been referred to the Independent

:14:19. > :14:25.Police Complaints Commission, but they've decided there are no

:14:25. > :14:28.grounds to investigate. Students from London have been in

:14:28. > :14:31.Norfolk today learning how to build a nuclear power station from

:14:31. > :14:33.scratch. Organisers hope the project at the Bircham Newton

:14:34. > :14:43.training college near Kings Lynn will attract more engineers into

:14:44. > :14:47.

:14:47. > :14:54.the nuclear industry. This is the dome of a power station

:14:54. > :15:03.under construction. It is real enough to these students from

:15:03. > :15:08.Imperial College. Drop it. Hang on. A concrete mixture is due to turn

:15:08. > :15:13.up in half-an-hour and the wooden mould does not quite fit. Cue a

:15:13. > :15:17.last-minute panic. It is a difficult process because some of

:15:17. > :15:21.the steel is not perfectly bent and we are in a rush to get rid --

:15:21. > :15:25.ready for the concrete in 30 minutes. The government wants to

:15:25. > :15:29.build a few new power stations, but we do not have enough engineers

:15:29. > :15:35.capable of doing that at the moment. We desperately need the skills. We

:15:35. > :15:39.have not built anything for a while so this young generation have no

:15:39. > :15:42.idea of the difference between building a tower block and a

:15:42. > :15:47.nuclear reactor. The difference between them is obviously very

:15:47. > :15:52.large. We sit in classrooms for up to six hours a day doing maths,

:15:52. > :15:57.fluids, all kinds of things. Now we are finally at he getting our hands

:15:57. > :16:03.dirty, building things, and you really get to know what matters to

:16:03. > :16:06.people who will do this later on in life. The mixer turns up and there

:16:06. > :16:12.is a worry it might have the wrong kind of concrete which could have

:16:12. > :16:16.been tricky. This is a week-long pylon to. If it

:16:16. > :16:22.is a success, students from 16 universities, including Cambridge,

:16:22. > :16:25.will be back to learn more about building our nuclear future.

:16:25. > :16:29.A business in Chelmsford is warning other companies to check their

:16:29. > :16:32.phone system after falling victim to hackers. The phone lines at

:16:32. > :16:37.Fast-signs were hacked into and ran up a bill for more than �3,000 for

:16:37. > :16:41.calls made on satellite phones. The police say it's a highly

:16:41. > :16:48.sophisticated fraud and some other companies have lost even more. The

:16:48. > :16:51.hackers got in to the switchboard through the system's voicemail.

:16:51. > :16:54.The former boxer Frank Bruno was at sports day in Thetford today

:16:54. > :16:56.helping 400 children with special needs. The event is organised by

:16:56. > :17:06.the Essex-based charity The Presidents Sporting Club. It allows

:17:06. > :17:08.

:17:09. > :17:14.children to try activities they might not normally consider.

:17:14. > :17:18.Frank Bruno often dominates a public arena, but in this class he

:17:18. > :17:22.almost met his match. He says children playing sport brings a

:17:23. > :17:29.smile to his face. I took a photograph of them and they'd made

:17:29. > :17:35.a nice comments. Some of them tried to beat me up and trip me up. But

:17:35. > :17:39.they are happy and enjoying themselves, they love it. Jack is

:17:39. > :17:43.15. He has severe learning difficulties and is visually

:17:43. > :17:48.impaired. He does not get a chance to use a company at school.

:17:48. > :17:53.could see by the look on his face and how happy he was, we do not see

:17:53. > :18:03.that a lot in school. It was such an amazing expense Finn to have.

:18:03. > :18:03.

:18:03. > :18:08.Awesome job! This fire falter -- fire fighter was teaching some of

:18:08. > :18:12.the children American football. watch them come here and learn the

:18:13. > :18:18.game, something they are not used to, it shows a bit of time we had

:18:18. > :18:21.together that every word you put in has paid off. If all of the

:18:21. > :18:27.children went home and said, I have taken part in sport today and it

:18:27. > :18:31.was a great day, that would be a job well done for us. So far,

:18:31. > :18:41.20,000 children have come to these sports day and left with special

:18:41. > :18:43.

:18:43. > :18:47.Now what do you know about coral reefs? They are stunning to look at

:18:47. > :18:50.and explore, but in some places they are being destroyed. Now

:18:50. > :18:53.scientists in Essex hope a new aquarium will help them to find out

:18:53. > :18:59.how to protect them. Bathed in warm water, a thriving

:18:59. > :19:07.coral reef. But all is not what it seems. Because this reef is to be

:19:07. > :19:11.found in a basement at the University of Essex. We have all of

:19:11. > :19:17.the structures and biological features we find it a natural reef

:19:17. > :19:22.in Indonesia. You can see from the different shapes, we have different

:19:22. > :19:25.corals. Some are soft, some are Borders. This mimics the biological

:19:25. > :19:28.and physical structure of a coral reef. Coral faces many threats,

:19:28. > :19:29.among them, warming oceans and increased acidity caused by rising

:19:30. > :19:33.carbon dioxide emissions. Researchers place coral sourced

:19:33. > :19:40.from aquaria into quarantine then it's grown to a size suitable for a

:19:40. > :19:44.range of trials. In this experimental set-up, we have the

:19:44. > :19:50.ability to change all of the key variables that are important for

:19:50. > :19:56.growth, such as nutrients, temperature, P Heat -- P H, light

:19:56. > :20:00.intensity and quality. It is important enough -- to look at how

:20:00. > :20:04.these things work together. teams can monitor the levels of

:20:04. > :20:08.carbon dioxide in the water by minute degrees. By using his

:20:08. > :20:10.computer monitoring equipment, they can tell exactly how the choral

:20:10. > :20:15.response in real time. Coral is particularly susceptible

:20:15. > :20:21.to change, but some species it seems cope better than others.

:20:21. > :20:26.Actually, some of the species we know are sensitive, we found they

:20:26. > :20:31.are growing in incredibly diverse environments, which are full of mud

:20:31. > :20:35.and sediment. A choral's have been a bit -- ability to grow is wider

:20:35. > :20:38.than we first thought. In a few days, the team is off to Indonesia

:20:38. > :20:41.for two months of field work. The hope is the new aquarium will not

:20:41. > :20:43.only help identify the threats coral faces, but come up with

:20:43. > :20:46.solution to help onserve it. Think of the BBC's Springwatch

:20:46. > :20:51.programme and you tend to imagine wildlife havens surrounded by miles

:20:51. > :20:54.of rolling countryside. But not always - this week they are

:20:54. > :21:01.in Essex showing how tonnes of rubbish dumped in landfill has

:21:01. > :21:05.helped create some amazing habitats. 3,000 tonnes of rubbish a day is

:21:05. > :21:09.dumped here at Pitsea. At 800 acres it's one of the largest landfill

:21:09. > :21:19.sites in the region. But since it started in the 1970s it's also

:21:19. > :21:36.

:21:36. > :21:40.become rich in wildlife and bio- We have got the goals on the site

:21:40. > :21:44.he coming to take the food and that is fantastic. In the night time, it

:21:44. > :21:48.goes quiet and there is a completely different wildlife, like

:22:04. > :22:13.Tonight she's on the hunt for badgers. Badgers, look, badgers.

:22:13. > :22:17.There. Yes, yes, yes. We cannot get good Bagehot footage on film. Here,

:22:17. > :22:23.it is looking more promising because a particular part of the

:22:23. > :22:29.landfill has the exact type of substrate that farmers alike. It is

:22:29. > :22:33.from the 1940s and 1950s, fall of ceramics and ash. The landfill site

:22:33. > :22:36.is to close in 2017. After five years of restoration it will become

:22:36. > :22:43.an RSPB reserve. So while rubbish will be hidden, it's hoped the

:23:02. > :23:05.In 1945 one of the crews was shot down. But they survived and they

:23:05. > :23:09.made an unusual pact. Today they were remembered in a special

:23:09. > :23:13.ceremony. They were the crew of the B17

:23:28. > :23:33.the war they made a promise - each time one of them died, a last drink

:23:33. > :23:37.would be taken from his commemorative tankard. The glass

:23:37. > :23:40.bottom would then be smashed so no- one else could use it. It is a

:23:40. > :23:45.ritual which has gone on for years but now the last remaining crew

:23:45. > :23:53.member Tommy Parker as died. And today his widow Joan came back to

:23:54. > :24:02.Deenethorpe to bury all the tankards in a time capsule. Nine

:24:02. > :24:09.strangers met in a war and they just became family. This was the

:24:09. > :24:14.last thing that they had all agreed to do when the last one passed away

:24:50. > :24:56.Somewhere up there, hopefully they are watching us. I am sure that

:25:18. > :25:22.Let's get the weather now. I think Today was a warm summer's day, but

:25:22. > :25:27.tomorrow will be different. We have low pressure over the Atlantic and

:25:27. > :25:30.it has been pushing these fronts across. That will introduce some

:25:30. > :25:34.cooler and unstable weather. It could produce some heavy showers

:25:34. > :25:38.tomorrow. There was a lot more cloud around today, but we got some

:25:38. > :25:41.sunshine as well. The thicker cloud in the West produced light showers

:25:42. > :25:48.and it will continue to do so at this evening. It is mainly dry, but

:25:48. > :25:52.some showers will linger. It is rather carry on the whole. --

:26:07. > :26:10.will become westerly, generally light in strength. A different feel

:26:10. > :26:14.to tomorrow, it will feel fresher and there will be some sharp

:26:14. > :26:19.showers, particularly in the afternoon. For many of us, a damp

:26:19. > :26:23.start to the day, particularly in the West with that band of rain

:26:23. > :26:26.moving from west to east. It will clear and we will get sunshine, it

:26:26. > :26:31.will brighten up a bit, but there we have got showers to contend with

:26:31. > :26:39.after that. Temperatures will not be as high tomorrow, 18 degrees is

:26:39. > :26:43.our high. Most areas will see between 15 and 17 up in the brain,

:26:43. > :26:48.generally a moderate westerly. Through the afternoon, as it warms

:26:48. > :26:53.up, the showers could get going and the quite shop in places. We could

:26:53. > :26:56.even hear the odd role of thunder. There are still gaps in the cloud

:26:56. > :27:01.and there will be some sunshine that will break through. For the

:27:01. > :27:04.rest of the week, we have got another area of low pressure that

:27:04. > :27:10.develops to our south-west. That will bring some wet weather into

:27:10. > :27:14.Friday, but later in the day for Friday. The outlook: Potential for

:27:14. > :27:19.some thundery showers tomorrow afternoon. Friday it starts dry and

:27:19. > :27:24.bright with sunshine. Then we read that bats and -- rain arriving. It

:27:24. > :27:28.will move steadily across the region. But to summarise the
