:00:11. > :00:14.Hello, welcome to Look East. The Prime Minister praises our
:00:14. > :00:18.police for coming to the aid of forces in London.
:00:18. > :00:23.But is under threat because of council cuts - will they still be
:00:23. > :00:28.running where you live? If it went, I would be like a prisoner in my
:00:28. > :00:33.own home. Without a bus. A woman has been arrested after the
:00:33. > :00:37.death of a resident from this care home.
:00:37. > :00:47.And thousands turned out for the Lowestoft Air Festival. But they
:00:47. > :00:52.
:00:52. > :00:56.have to brave that some strong Hello. First tonight, the courts
:00:56. > :01:00.begin to deal with those accused of being involved in disturbances
:01:00. > :01:06.across the region. Nine people appeared in court today
:01:06. > :01:10.facing charges for Evette inciting the disorder or been involved in it.
:01:10. > :01:13.The worst of the trouble was in Milton Keynes, Northampton,
:01:13. > :01:19.Cambridge and Basildon. More than 70 people have been arrested across
:01:19. > :01:25.the region, and today five were in court in Milton Keynes.
:01:25. > :01:28.It may not have been a full on riot, but Tuesday night was a very
:01:28. > :01:33.different night in Milton Keynes. A large gang gathered in the centre
:01:33. > :01:37.before making its way around various estates in the town.
:01:37. > :01:40.Officers from the Thames Valley helping Metropolitan Police in
:01:40. > :01:46.London had to be called back and two police helicopters were used.
:01:46. > :01:51.These CCTV pictures in Bletchley show you is picking up fruit. It
:01:51. > :01:56.was the watermelons that caused this damage. Courts all over our
:01:56. > :02:06.region today have seen people charged with the recent troubles.
:02:06. > :02:07.
:02:07. > :02:12.Here in Milton Keynes, several men all appeared before magistrates
:02:12. > :02:17.charged with violent disorder. All were refused bail and remanded into
:02:17. > :02:25.custody. They will rip -- they will appear here on 18th August.
:02:25. > :02:28.The clean-ups have begun, and so to have the legal processes.
:02:28. > :02:32.There has been praise today from the Prime Minister for the police
:02:32. > :02:37.from this region who have been helping in London to restore order.
:02:37. > :02:43.A number of our MPs took part in a debate today, and many of them want
:02:43. > :02:47.tougher action against the people riot. Andrew Sinclair has spent the
:02:47. > :02:50.day at Westminster. This has been one of those rare
:02:50. > :02:54.days when Parliament has come together, condemning the violence
:02:54. > :02:58.of the last week, and not just the violence in London, Birmingham and
:02:58. > :03:03.Manchester - MPs were keen to point out that many other places like
:03:03. > :03:07.Cambridge, Northampton, had also seen their fair share of
:03:07. > :03:12.lawlessness. From the beaches of France, the
:03:12. > :03:15.fjords of Scandinavia, and the bustle of New York, our MPs
:03:15. > :03:19.returned to away at Westminster just for the day. Those whose
:03:19. > :03:25.constituencies have witnessed trouble were particularly angry.
:03:25. > :03:29.Any type of ox queues is unwarranted. This is naked greed,
:03:29. > :03:33.criminality, violence, and it should be dealt with. This is not
:03:33. > :03:40.down to poverty or deprivation, it is people who think they can get
:03:40. > :03:45.something for nothing. And it is not acceptable. That anger was also
:03:45. > :03:50.in evidence in the chamber. these riots had brought -- broke
:03:50. > :03:55.out in America, the police would have had water-cannon, plastic
:03:55. > :04:04.bullets and tear-gas. Northamptonshire MP Phillip Holiday
:04:04. > :04:08.on said the parents of rioters should also have been charged. The
:04:08. > :04:14.Suffolk MP Matthew Hancock praised his local force for going to
:04:14. > :04:19.London's it. The Prime Minister was grateful to. I joined him in
:04:19. > :04:22.praising Suffolk and other forces in East Anglia and Essex, who got
:04:22. > :04:25.police officers into our capital. The point I made a but the
:04:25. > :04:31.deployment of officers is one of the lessons we have to learn about
:04:31. > :04:35.the ability to surge up the numbers when the circumstances require it.
:04:35. > :04:39.These trials were not about cuts, they were about a lack of hope for
:04:39. > :04:43.communities, but they cannot be used as an excuse for lawlessness.
:04:44. > :04:47.The Government today announce that businesses damaged will be able to
:04:47. > :04:53.claim compensation. What caused this will be debated over the
:04:53. > :04:57.months ahead, but today was about condemnation.
:04:57. > :05:02.Bus passengers in the region are facing above-inflation fare rises
:05:02. > :05:06.and continued cuts in services. That is according to reports by a
:05:06. > :05:12.committee of MPs, who say that rural, evening and Sunday services
:05:12. > :05:17.will be most affected. The Transport Select Committee says
:05:17. > :05:20.the industry is facing the greatest financial challenge for a
:05:20. > :05:25.generation. Some of the Boston vulnerable including the elderly
:05:25. > :05:30.will be hit. A big cut in central grants to
:05:31. > :05:37.local councils after the spending review, and from next April, at 20%
:05:37. > :05:41.cut in assistance to bus operators. Graveley near St Neots has a bus
:05:41. > :05:47.shelter and a bus timetable, but locals face a very long wait for a
:05:47. > :05:52.bus. I have lived here for 40 years, and we had a bus somewhere every
:05:52. > :05:57.day, to St Neots, Huntingdon, and we could go somewhere near the
:05:57. > :06:03.everyday. Gradually, one by one they have dropped off, until we are
:06:03. > :06:09.left with a Saturday service. Which is a shame.
:06:09. > :06:14.Though rural buses almost -- often seem to be half empty, to those who
:06:14. > :06:21.use them, they are vital. Mid-morning in the village of
:06:21. > :06:25.placemacro, and the anxious wait for the local bus. -- Litlington.
:06:25. > :06:32.The bus can be a lifeline, and for some of the only link to the nearby
:06:32. > :06:38.town. If it went, I would be like a prisoner in my own home, without a
:06:38. > :06:45.bus. Without this bus, I would be absolutely lost. I would not get to
:06:45. > :06:50.the dentist, the doctor, into Royston, and I lost my husband
:06:50. > :06:55.about 18 months ago and I do not drive. Some have already seen their
:06:55. > :07:01.buses disappear. Jo Green has a seven year-old son with autism.
:07:01. > :07:06.They lost their evening service four months ago. We now feel
:07:06. > :07:13.isolated, and I also feel demoralised. I cannot take my
:07:13. > :07:17.little boy to these events in the evening. Life is destroyed, really.
:07:17. > :07:24.K in which a says it will try to introduce alternatives were bus
:07:24. > :07:31.funding is cut. -- Cambridge shire. But many rural buses are still
:07:31. > :07:36.running scared. Cambridgeshire council is cutting
:07:36. > :07:41.�2.7 million in subsidies. It says there will be no further service
:07:41. > :07:46.reductions until next April. Norfolk has cut its subsidy by
:07:46. > :07:55.�420,000. It says only three poorly used Saturday services has been
:07:55. > :08:01.withdrawn. Suffolk is cutting �2.3 million but says negotiations with
:08:01. > :08:08.operators are under way. Next month and you pre-booked minibus service
:08:08. > :08:13.in Northamptonshire will link some communities. Essex has spent �8.5
:08:13. > :08:16.million in bus subsidy is, but says there are no plans for any cuts.
:08:16. > :08:22.The transport committee highlighted the Luton and Peterborough councils,
:08:22. > :08:24.where again there has been no reduction in services. This is the
:08:25. > :08:28.local transport minister Norman Baker, who told us cancels were
:08:28. > :08:32.free to decide what to do with the money they receive. He would
:08:32. > :08:36.encourage them to look for more efficiency savings and cuts in top
:08:37. > :08:40.management before taking the cut -- taking the axe to bus services.
:08:41. > :08:44.Still to come tonight, the highs and lows from the rain-affected
:08:44. > :08:48.Lowestoft Air Festival, and Jonathan Park at another sporting
:08:48. > :08:52.building site. This is the national football

:08:58. > :09:05.fans in our region will know very well. Find out who it is after the
:09:05. > :09:09.rest of the news where you live. Bunnies are investigating the death
:09:09. > :09:14.of a pensioner who was taken to hospital after an incident at a
:09:14. > :09:16.care home in Harlow. Three residents from the Partridge Care
:09:16. > :09:23.Centre were admitted to the Princess Alexandra Hospital last
:09:23. > :09:29.week. Gareth George is in Essex. The Partridge Care Centre opened in
:09:29. > :09:35.May 2009, and it has room for 117 elderly residents including those
:09:35. > :09:39.with dementia. Last Wednesday, three of the residents were
:09:39. > :09:44.admitted to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, one of them, an
:09:44. > :09:51.elderly woman, died three days later. Tests are being carried out
:09:51. > :09:55.to find out why. Into other residents are stable. The Kent and
:09:55. > :09:59.Essex serious crime Directorate is looking into the circumstances that
:09:59. > :10:03.led up to the three residents being admitted. We know very little at
:10:03. > :10:08.the moment apart from a 36-year-old woman from Enfield has been
:10:08. > :10:12.arrested, but she has been released on police bail while inquiries
:10:12. > :10:18.continue. Gareth, the police issued a
:10:18. > :10:22.statement today. What did they say? They told us that detectives are
:10:22. > :10:27.looking into the care and treatment of residents at the home, as well
:10:27. > :10:31.as a number of historic complaints. They say investigators have spoken
:10:31. > :10:38.to family members, and other residents at the care home. The
:10:38. > :10:45.Partridge Care Centre is owned by a gay group based in Loughborough.
:10:45. > :10:50.The BBC -- a care group. The BBC tried to contact them today. They
:10:50. > :10:53.refused to speak to them, but they said on their website, they provide
:10:54. > :10:59.a safe environment for their residents. The woman arrested has
:10:59. > :11:04.been released on bail until October. Passenger numbers at Stansted
:11:04. > :11:09.Airport have fallen by 25% in four years, and figures today show no
:11:09. > :11:12.sign the slump is nearing its end. Since the start of the recession, 6
:11:12. > :11:17.million fewer passengers are using the airport.
:11:17. > :11:21.Stansted is a busy place at this time of the year. But a strange
:11:21. > :11:26.thing has happened over the past four years. One in four of
:11:26. > :11:31.Stansted's passengers has disappeared. In 2007, 24 million
:11:31. > :11:36.people used to the airport. But this year, it is 18 million.
:11:36. > :11:41.Figures out today show that decline continuing, with passenger numbers
:11:41. > :11:46.down 7% in July compared with the same month last year. What is going
:11:46. > :11:50.on? Well, lots of people use Stansted to go to and from Ireland.
:11:50. > :11:56.The economic troubles of the there have hit traffic hard. Budget
:11:56. > :12:01.flights to Spain and elsewhere have also fallen.
:12:01. > :12:07.Stansted is entrenched in low-cost carriers. For example, Ryanair has
:12:07. > :12:14.67% of the market share in Stansted, followed by EasyJet at 22%. So
:12:14. > :12:19.between them they have 90% of the market share. There is 18 airlines
:12:19. > :12:23.in total serving Stansted, with two airlines running 90% of the traffic.
:12:23. > :12:27.When you put all of your eggs in one basket, it is a dangerous

:12:32. > :12:37.carriers - get their name has moved some services to Gatwick, and so
:12:37. > :12:47.has a share. But Stansted says it is hopeful of seeing an improvement
:12:47. > :12:47.
:12:47. > :12:52.80 new jobs have been created at a security firm in Norwich.

:14:32. > :14:38.gardeners how to make birds, bees and butterflies feel very much at
:14:38. > :14:42.home. It is somewhere people can come to see what we are planting
:14:42. > :14:46.and what Habitat we have in the garden. Things that they can go and
:14:46. > :14:51.do at home. It is not difficult stuff.
:14:51. > :14:56.It has taken months to create but does it stimulate ideas?
:14:56. > :15:02.It does. But I need a garden or to do it for me, if you have some
:15:02. > :15:08.spare time? The land at the iconic part of
:15:08. > :15:14.Constable country was left by two donor's. They used to run a tea
:15:14. > :15:22.room here. It is a fantastic tribute. I am
:15:22. > :15:27.thrilled to bits. Now it is maturing, it is fantastic. I am

:15:53. > :15:58.of our eyes, our height, and now, it seems, whether or not we are
:15:58. > :16:03.prone to disease. At the Sanger Institute in Cambridgeshire, around
:16:03. > :16:07.30,000 people have been tested. Scientists now believe that
:16:07. > :16:12.diseases like cancer and diabetes could be linked to minute
:16:12. > :16:22.variations in DNA. It looks like a place at the
:16:22. > :16:22.
:16:22. > :16:29.forefront of science. It resembles a fridge. This is the sound of DNA
:16:29. > :16:36.being sliced up. It is called sequencing. What used to take
:16:36. > :16:41.months or years now takes moments. These grey lines are the sequences
:16:41. > :16:46.created by the machines, around 50,000 per second. It is comparing
:16:46. > :16:56.each of these with a reference genome and looking for variations
:16:56. > :17:02.that could indicate disease. Minute differences in the pattern
:17:02. > :17:06.shared by different people could hold the clue, scientists say, two
:17:06. > :17:10.causes for cancer, heart disease and diabetes.
:17:10. > :17:18.These are diseases which are frequent in the population,
:17:19. > :17:24.typically 30 to 40%. But it is hard to understand them because they are
:17:24. > :17:31.caused by many different genetic variations.
:17:31. > :17:37.This research has made the Sanger Institute a world leader. To
:17:37. > :17:41.process their data, they need this. Row after row of storage, the
:17:41. > :17:48.equivalent of 50,000 home computers. They need to make it four times
:17:48. > :17:57.bigger. Plans are to increase our storage
:17:57. > :18:01.capacity. That will put us in the top 10% of storage site in the
:18:01. > :18:05.world. Within a few years, what is learnt
:18:05. > :18:14.here could become common practice. The hope is that better treatments

:24:08. > :24:15.last year. That is why this year is very important.

:24:34. > :24:39.always good to watch. They are the largest civilian air acrobatics
:24:39. > :24:44.team in the UK. Then the rain comes down and the
:24:44. > :24:49.umbrella as go up. We should expect it. But it has
:24:49. > :24:53.spoiled the party a bit. The bad weather means that some
:24:53. > :25:01.displays are forced to cancel but the airshow is essentially a social
:25:01. > :25:04.event, and the us -- the socialising does not stop. I bumped
:25:04. > :25:09.into the Lowestoft winemaking circle who forced me to try a

:25:54. > :26:00.Let us hope for better weather The good news is that it should
:26:00. > :26:04.stay dry there. There is a changeable weather just now, as we
