If welcome it to this special white edition of Look East from | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
Silverstone. Building for the future how | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
millions are changing the face of Silverstone. | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
Rubbing shoulders with the stars. Also tonight the German doctor who | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
killed a pensioner with an overdose is find that not struck off. | :00:28. | :00:38. | |
:00:38. | :00:46. | ||
And I will have all of the weather Last year we were at Silverstone | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
and it was so hot. This year it has been pouring with rain. It has made | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
everything very interesting as far as practice is concerned. We will | :00:57. | :01:07. | |
hear from the Bryn Howel, Freddy Flintoff -- Damon Hill, and Martin | :01:07. | :01:16. | |
Brundle. It is our summer. We will talk enough while with Derek | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
Warwick about the new building and what his dreams are for the future. | :01:20. | :01:30. | |
I have been for a look around to see what they are doing. | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
To get the full picture, Silverstone is best seen it from | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
the air. Built on the site of an all World War II airfield it | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
stretches over 762 acres. Over the last two years it has been | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
transformed. Last year it was the track. This year it is the wing. It | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
costs �27 million to build. This weekend it will be the home for the | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
teams. It is fabulous. It is the culmination of a lot of years of | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
work. And over there is where the development will happen in the | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
future. In the build up to the race the new pit garages have been at | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
scrapping green -- scrubbed clean. None of this would have been | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
possible without this. If there had been any doubt that Silverstone had | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
been the home of British Grand Prix in the long term and none of the | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
development would have been possible. It would not have been | :02:41. | :02:50. | |
possible. We are hoping that the jobs will be created in the next | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
five to 10 the years. Bernie Ecclestone once said that it was a | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
world event masquerading as a country fair. The country fear is | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
getting a makeover. This weekend 300,000 people will see just how | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
far Silverstone has come and know there is more in the pipeline. | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
The important thing to remember about this is that this grand prix | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
is not just about this area. Right across the region of the economies | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
of small companies and big companies rely very much on the | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
sort up business that in grand-prix brings. I met somebody this morning | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
who has a small company in Norfolk. The turnover �1 million per year | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
making the packing cases that all Formula One teams use. It is | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
important to to lot of people. I will bring you to the manner that | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
is about to become the new president of the BRDC. | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
A lot has been achieved. What do you hope to achieve in the future? | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
There is a lot of potential. We have our lot with the new wing. We | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
have got outline planning for hotels, universities, a campus. | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
There is a race team that wants to set up here. There is a lot that | :04:17. | :04:25. | |
can happen here. For do you like what they have done? Yes I do. I do | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
not like change for the sake of change that we had to make this new | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
facility to bring the Grand Prix here. Despite eight of the 12 | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
former centimes being within a 50 mile radius of where we stand we | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
have to do this to save the Grand Prix. Without this we would not | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
have got a 17 year contract. We had to do this. You are making sure now | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
that we have the drivers of the future. You're saying that what | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
makes this profitable as having Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button. | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
Without those people it takes away the green. They bring in an extra | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
30,000 or 40,000 people. It is important to make sure that Ariane | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
driver programmes are coming through to become the next Jenson | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
Button or Lewis Hamilton. We could do with decent weather! Yes we | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
could! It has started to rain quite | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
heavily now. It has been difficult for the drivers in training and in | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
practice and also for those people who are looking to do well this | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
weekend as far as their points are concerned. | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
They are the dominant force in Formula One. They are the ones | :05:48. | :05:58. | |
everyone wants to beat. Lewis Hamilton had to concede the title | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
to Sebastien Vettel. With the lead at 77 Points the fans know it is | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
just about one. Sebastien Vettel could only manage | :06:12. | :06:22. | |
:06:22. | :06:22. | ||
13th place today in the two sessions. | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
This will have made the difference to the Times today I assume? It is | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
very difficult for the teams. There are significant changes in the way | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
that the use their throttle and exhaust. That has a dramatic effect | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
on how the cars handle. The drivers have not been able to get out and | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
test their cards. They are one day behind. It could be a dry Grand | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
Prix! They have not tested the new tyres. It should give as a nice mix | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
that red and race. I want to play a clutch of Lewis Hamilton. He has | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
been linked with moving away to McLaren and maybe going to read | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
Bill. Let us hear from Lewis Hamilton. I am comfortable when I | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
am. There is a lot of speculation. Everyone needs to realise that I am | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
not reading the newspapers or discussing this. I am focused on | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
trying to win this championship. I am focus on trying to make this car | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
:07:37. | :07:39. | ||
number one. This is the man in charge of Red Bull. His Lewis | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
Hamilton not coming to you? He is a McLaren driver. I am would be | :07:44. | :07:52. | |
surprised. He did chat with you. came to Red Bull, but he is happy | :07:52. | :08:01. | |
where he is. You will have to ask a Lewis Hamilton that question. | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
would you not want Lewis Hamilton and Sebastien Vettel? On paper it | :08:08. | :08:16. | |
looks fantastic. In reality when you pick drivers like that together, | :08:16. | :08:26. | |
look at Lewis Hamilton and Fernandez along so, sometimes the | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
dynamics are so important. Can you believe how well your team is | :08:32. | :08:41. | |
doing? It has been a fantastic period for as. The challenge is to | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
keep the continuity going. To keep the success going from one season | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
into the next. We have manners to do that. We have had a tremendous | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
first half to this season. The challenge is to finish the season | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
of been at the same manner. That is good for this part of the region - | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
to have that team that is so successful? We hear the German | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
national anthem and the Austrian national anthem but the cars are | :09:13. | :09:22. | |
built just down the road. There have been it remarks about the | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
throttles and the exhausts. You guys are going for it. You are | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
unhappy. We are all unhappy. A technical director it was | :09:34. | :09:44. | |
:09:44. | :09:45. | ||
introduced that favoured Mercedes. We will have to leave it there. | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
Good luck. It is rude meaning here. I am sure | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
it is raining on the campsite. Yes, but it has not stopped the | :09:59. | :10:09. | |
:10:09. | :10:11. | ||
barbecues. I will have the full Hello. It's been revealed the | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
German medical authorities have fined the doctor who killed a | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
patient in Cambridgeshire with a massive overdose of Diamorphine. GP | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
Daniel Ubani was fined 7,000 Euros for violation of the doctor's | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
professional code of conduct after the death of David Gray three years | :10:24. | :10:34. | |
ago. But Dr Ubani was not struck off the register in Germany. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
The only time that Dr Ubani had ever been seriously challenged for | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
killing patient David Gray was when he was confronted by the victim's | :10:40. | :10:50. | |
:10:50. | :10:52. | ||
sons at a medical conference in Bavaria last year. I want to listen | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
to what Now, three and a half years after | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
causing his patient's death, a disciplinary hearing has been held | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
in the town of Muenster. It resulted in the dangerously | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
incompetent doctor being fined 7,000 Euros for causing Mr Gray's | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
death and mistreating two other patients during his first out of | :11:05. | :11:14. | |
hours shift in the UK. What worries me is that he is still fit to | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
practise over there without any restriction. There is no remit to | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
take out disciplinary action. He continues to be a danger to the | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
German public. Dr Ubani can practise in any other country in | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
the European Union except in the UK. The other countries might not even | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
know the danger that he pauses to them. | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
Ubani was also given a warning following the hearing. Previously | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
he'd escaped extradition to face trial for manslaughter in the UK | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
after striking a deal with German prosecutors. It resulted in a 5,000 | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
Euros fines for the the relatively minor offence of negligent killing. | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
Norfolk Lib Dem MP Norman Lamb said today it beggars belief that Dr | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
Ubani has not been struck off in Germany. He's also concerned that | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
dealings between the British and German authorities over Ubani | :11:59. | :12:08. | |
:12:09. | :12:12. | ||
remain unclear. He said there has been a muddled time mind. He has | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
asked the Home Secretary to write to the German justice minister. | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
Meanwhile Dr Ubani continues to promote his work across Europe. | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
An inquest has heard allow single shot fired by a sniper killed two | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
paratroopers in Afghanistan. Lewis Hendry from Muenster and Conrad | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
Lewis were hit by the same bill at. For Essex County Council has | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
admitted that Lord Hanningfield its former leader is still receiving an | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
alliance even though he is in prison. He is serving nine months | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
for fiddling his parliamentary expenses. | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
Lord Hanningfield's sentence disqualified him from being a | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
county councillor but it only takes effect once has term has run out. | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
That means he is still getting his allowance. �11,500 per year. How do | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
residents feel? It will not do them much good in prison. It will not | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
make much difference. intentions were good but along the | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
way he strayed. I think it is unfortunate. He probably should | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
step down. The time allowed for him to appeal should run out later this | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
month. Until then there is no by- election either. Some believe he | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
should quit now. It grieves me that the good name of Essex County | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
Council and Essex in general is track to the mat. We are trying to | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
boost the image at Essex. This comes along and and does so much | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
good work by many hard-working councillors. Essex police continued | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
to investigate the expense claims. In a statement to the Essex County | :13:57. | :14:07. | |
:14:07. | :14:19. | ||
The critics hope Lord Hanningfield will bow to pressure and step down. | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
But if he does not, stalemate remains. | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
An investigation is underway after a teenager was found hanging in his | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
cell at Chelmsford Prison. The body of 18-year-old Tuan Ho was | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
discovered just after 7pm on Monday evening and despite the efforts of | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
prison staff and paramedics, he was pronounced dead an hour later. He | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
is the seventh teenager to die in custody in the UK this year. | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
A third Olympic team could choose Lowestoft as a training camp ahead | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
of London 2012. Waveney Gymnastics Centre has already signed up the | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
Canadian and Australian teams, and now the Japanese Trampoline team | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
could join them. Their squad will be at the centre next month and if | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
the visit is successful the hope is that they will choose to return | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
next year for the Olympics. A racehorse which is part-owned by | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
the world heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis is recovering from | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
surgery after a collision with a car in Newmarket. The filly is also | :15:11. | :15:19. | |
named Jessica Ennis and was due to make her racing debut tomorrow. | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
At Newmarket trainer Michael Bell's stables, they had high hopes fot | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
their runner in tomorrow's Maiden Fillies Stakes. But it seems a | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
freak accident has put paid to 2- year-old Jessica Ennis's racing | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
career. She was having routine stalls training when she panicked, | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
unseated her jockey and ran towards a busy road. She collided with a | :15:34. | :15:43. | |
:15:44. | :15:44. | ||
BMW car. It was seriously damaged, the driver escaped unharmed. And he | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
was extremely lucky, it it could have been so much worse. It is | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
amazing that she is alive, given the speed of the car and the size | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
of the car. We would have but she would have broken her leg. And | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
obviously when a horse has a major Fracture of their Lec, there is | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
little that she can do to save him. It was a very distressing accident. | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
Jessica Ennis underwent surgery here at the Newmarket Equine | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
Hospital. She had suffered lacerations and bruising and | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
significant damage to a stifle joint, a complex mechanism akin to | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
a human knee. Her owners say that Jessica Ennis is now starting what | :16:21. | :16:28. | |
will be a long recuperation. As for her namesake, she has said that she | :16:28. | :16:37. | |
is really sad to hear about the horse. | :16:37. | :16:47. | |
:16:47. | :16:52. | ||
Now back to sell Britain. -- Silverstone. | :16:52. | :17:02. | |
It is not as busy here. It is the weather at this year? Yes. The | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
technical bosses are all behind closed doors are fighting each | :17:05. | :17:15. | |
:17:15. | :17:16. | ||
other. But that is the truth of formal one. -- Formula One. I saw | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
Freddie Flintoff yesterday and asked him about the glum -- the | :17:20. | :17:28. | |
glamour of Formula One. The Grand Prix that I had been too, what was | :17:28. | :17:36. | |
going on the track was almost like a side show. The amount of money | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
involved is incredible but it is obviously well supported. Who are | :17:41. | :17:51. | |
:17:51. | :17:52. | ||
you rooting for? Of the slick, the two English sides. -- obviously. | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
And it one of the reserve drivers from India and he was nice. A you | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
do not fancy getting in one of the car's? I have already been told | :18:03. | :18:13. | |
:18:13. | :18:13. | ||
that I cannot fit in the cars. I am pushing 17 stone, I do not think a | :18:13. | :18:23. | |
:18:23. | :18:24. | ||
Formula One car is anywhere I should be. He says he is too big | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
for the car. I am not sure that he is cut out to be a Formula One | :18:29. | :18:39. | |
:18:39. | :18:42. | ||
driver, but I would not want him throwing a ball at me! I am really | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
delighted to tell you I'd do not know who will win this weekend. If | :18:46. | :18:56. | |
you pick your money on red bill, it is less of a risk. | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
We have asked about the recent upgrades in the facility. Yes, it | :19:01. | :19:09. | |
looks good. People want to see who is going to win. I am going to get | :19:09. | :19:16. | |
out of the rain and you should do the same. There is a man that knows | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
what to do! Let us go and find out about the weather and how the | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
driver has cope with the weather conditions. | :19:28. | :19:37. | |
Hello and welcome to one of the many campsites here at Silverstone. | :19:37. | :19:45. | |
The chef is a Geoff. Are you having any doubts about camping with all | :19:45. | :19:54. | |
of this rain? Non-, absolutely none. I hope he'll say be some of this. | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
Yes, I will and add beer. Look at her well-stocked they are with the | :20:00. | :20:10. | |
booze in this tent. Are you hoping for a wet race or a dry race? | :20:10. | :20:20. | |
:20:20. | :20:23. | ||
next one. -- a mixed race. Your money is on Jenson Button? Yes. | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
you are camping here, the weather is crucial, but there is even more | :20:28. | :20:38. | |
:20:38. | :20:43. | ||
The weather can make or break a race. Take Canada. It was usually | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
affected by the rain but was arguably all the better for it. | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
That is why all the teams spend so much time and effort on weather | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
predictions prior to race day. starts a couple of days before the | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
week when you get the first long- term coca -- forecast. When it gets | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
closer to the weekend, you going to details and the temperatures and | :21:06. | :21:15. | |
the wind directions. Ultimately, their success or failure is in the | :21:15. | :21:25. | |
:21:25. | :21:29. | ||
hands of the driver. I will have a look at the track and make-up call. | :21:29. | :21:39. | |
-- make at call. It is down to me to make a decision at the right | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
time. You never know. We could get rain, of course. In many ways, I | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
hope we do get some rain, because it adds to the unpredictability and | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
if you are out on the wrong tyres at the wrong time, you're not going | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
to succeed. Murray Walker may just get his wish because there is the | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
outside chance of a shower on race day itself. Today has been really | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
changeable. It has been raining on and off all day. If we bring up | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
pressure charge, you'll see that the reason for this is hello | :22:16. | :22:26. | |
:22:26. | :22:26. | ||
pressure. -- low-pressure. We have had a lot of showers across the | :22:26. | :22:33. | |
region. The heaviest of the showers were in the list of the region. -- | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
the west of the region. For tonight, most of those showers will become | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
more isolated. You'll see an EDL of rain across the North Sea affecting | :22:45. | :22:55. | |
:22:55. | :23:01. | ||
parts of the Suffolk coastline. Before the West that you were, the | :23:01. | :23:11. | |

Silverstone. It is expected to stay dry. It will be a bit warmer for | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
tomorrow and the winds will be lighter, a light to moderate West | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
to south-westerly wind. Towards the end of the day, it is looking | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
largely dry. Over the next five days, for race day here at | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
Silverstone and across the region, it looks like a dry story. But | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
there could be the chance of an isolated sure in Silverstone itself | :23:55. | :24:01. | |

important to the local economy. The outgoing president of the British | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
raised drivers' Club is Damon Hill. He popped by a few minutes ago and | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
I asked him about what he thought of his years in control. I feel | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
like this is the beginning, really. This is the first year that we have | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
had the Grand Prix in place with the new building up and running. It | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
is a trial run today. From now on, this will be the face of | :25:02. | :25:09. | |
Silverstone and this what they Grand Prix will look like. It looks | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
and TV and how it works is important. It has been a huge | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
project, but it has been crucial for the British Grand Prix to be | :25:16. | :25:24. | |
retained. We can see the wind behind me. I have played a huge | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
part -- I had played my part in its huge team effort to get this up and | :25:29. | :25:39. | |

happen to be the weather. There would be plenty to talk about. All | :26:11. | :26:17. |
