:00:11. > :00:16.In: Frail prices to rise by 8%. We examine what the impact might be on

:00:17. > :00:21.one commuter town. Welcome to. Also tonight: After the riots, the

:00:21. > :00:24.latest figures and who has been arrested and who has been charged.

:00:24. > :00:34.The care home at the centre of a council inquiry after the death of

:00:34. > :00:46.

:00:46. > :00:50.an elderly resident. First tonight, what the rising cost

:00:50. > :00:54.of rail travel means for commuters in this region.

:00:54. > :00:59.The figures are stacked. A new pricing formula means the cost of

:00:59. > :01:03.tickets will rise by an average of 8% from next January. Some routes

:01:03. > :01:07.will see price rises of 13 %. The government says it will pay for

:01:07. > :01:11.more trains and faster services. Tonight, we are focusing on what it

:01:11. > :01:20.will mean for one of our big commuter towns, Colchester. Gareth

:01:20. > :01:24.George is there. The rush-hour is well under way. A

:01:24. > :01:29.tide of commuters has been pouring hand. Not too many delays or

:01:29. > :01:33.cancellations today. Bad news of a different kind. A big hike in

:01:33. > :01:38.railway fares is on the way. This was the reaction. It is ridiculous.

:01:38. > :01:41.Every year, it goes up. They will price themselves out eventually.

:01:41. > :01:45.They claim the money is going back to the government and they will be

:01:45. > :01:49.invested back into the railways, but we would have to see if they

:01:49. > :01:52.keep their promises. I would have to start driving to save money, but

:01:52. > :01:57.you do not know what the cheapest option is. If you get a good

:01:57. > :02:03.service, you are prepared to pay more. It is quite hard at the

:02:03. > :02:07.moment in a period when most of us around pay freezes. Difficult time.

:02:07. > :02:10.You only have to stand at Colchester station and see the

:02:10. > :02:15.number of commuters to realise how important the London link is to the

:02:15. > :02:21.economy here. Anything that hits commuters hit Colchester.

:02:22. > :02:26.Colchester, a commuter town. It looks to London. It takes around an

:02:26. > :02:31.hour to get to the capital. It is vital for a lot of people who work

:02:31. > :02:38.in London, if they cannot get a job around here, especially if they're

:02:38. > :02:42.doing something Spencer list. A you are not paying London prices are

:02:42. > :02:49.due have good links. Going to London is quite an ordeal in itself

:02:49. > :02:53.every day. I think it is sad, it is a sign of the times. Commuters

:02:54. > :03:00.grumble about overcrowding and delays, and an annual standard

:03:00. > :03:05.class season ticket into London is already over �4,000. You're talking

:03:05. > :03:09.about another �1,000 in the next four of five years. You're going

:03:09. > :03:15.over the rate of inflation. One may be able to afford that? Good

:03:15. > :03:21.question. Either people will be able to -- and people not be able

:03:21. > :03:26.to afford it and have to find another job, or get on the road.

:03:26. > :03:29.that a number tells of, it will have an impact on house building

:03:29. > :03:36.and on business generally in the town, which depends on the wages

:03:36. > :03:39.from these people to pay its way. Cultures to taxi drivers say they

:03:39. > :03:44.row already fewer commuters, and they believe today's fare increases

:03:44. > :03:50.will not help. Everyone is finding it difficult at the moment. More

:03:50. > :03:53.pressure on their finances will mean probably less work for us.

:03:53. > :03:59.government and train operators say the fare rises will help pay for

:03:59. > :04:06.faster, better trains, but for some in Colchester, commuting may become

:04:06. > :04:11.too expensive. Lots of viewers' comments about the

:04:11. > :04:16.increases. Someone said: Can we stop hearing about difficult

:04:16. > :04:20.decisions? Why not say it like it is? The rail system in this country

:04:20. > :04:27.is totally messed up, and because we cannot fix it, we will continue

:04:27. > :04:31.to charge consumers more and more. James said, this year, I quit my

:04:31. > :04:35.London job for a less well paid local position because of the

:04:35. > :04:41.travel costs. When I realised I paid more for my train fare than I

:04:41. > :04:45.do for the entire year's income tax, the decision was an easy one. The

:04:45. > :04:50.government and the train operators say that if we wanted better train

:04:50. > :04:54.service, we have to pay for it. The government says by increasing fares,

:04:54. > :04:58.that means the taxpayer has to contribute less to those

:04:58. > :05:02.improvements. The improvements will be paid for by the money raised

:05:02. > :05:05.from higher fares. Thank you very much.

:05:05. > :05:10.Police forces across the region are still gathering evidence on people

:05:10. > :05:15.who were alleged to have been involved in the riots last week. So,

:05:15. > :05:20.how were they getting on? Here's Kim Riley.

:05:20. > :05:24.A lot has been happening. Police have been poring over hours of CCTV

:05:24. > :05:28.footage and examining the social networking sites for what they call

:05:29. > :05:33.the plotters behind some of the trouble. In terms of arrests,

:05:33. > :05:38.Hertfordshire and Essex top the table. They have been 45 arrests in

:05:38. > :05:43.Hertfordshire. 14 people have been charged. Police in Essex have made

:05:43. > :05:47.around 26 arrests, among them, a 20-year-old man from Colchester

:05:47. > :05:51.charged under the Serious Crime Act with attempting to organise a water

:05:51. > :05:54.fight in the town. A 17-year-old was charged with throwing a pound

:05:54. > :06:01.coin at a bus and breaking a window. He was given a six-month affair

:06:01. > :06:04.order and fined �335. In Cambridge I, there have been 23 arrests, 16

:06:04. > :06:06.relating to violent disorder in Cambridge and Peterborough. This

:06:07. > :06:11.was the message from Cambridgeshire Police.

:06:11. > :06:14.We have made 23 arrests in Cambridgeshire, but that is not the

:06:14. > :06:20.end of the situation. We need to process those individuals through

:06:20. > :06:24.the system and continue to work with a public to keep the place say.

:06:24. > :06:28.It gives me the opportunity to thank members of the public for the

:06:28. > :06:34.tremendous support we have had. Letters, e-mails, feedback on

:06:34. > :06:39.Twitter. Not so meek in terms of support, but helping us understand

:06:39. > :06:42.what has been going on. 14 arrests in Northamptonshire's so far. Two

:06:42. > :06:47.people charge, one of them a 17- year-old accused of assaulting a

:06:47. > :06:50.police officer. Milton Keynes police have arrested five people.

:06:50. > :06:55.They are charged with violent disorder in Bletchley last Tuesday.

:06:55. > :07:00.In Suffolk, just two arrests, including a 17-year-old charged

:07:00. > :07:04.with intent to incite disorder. In Bedfordshire, 17 euros from Luton

:07:04. > :07:08.has appeared in court charged with using social media networks to

:07:08. > :07:13.encourage others to commit burglary. Northolt, no arrests are charges of

:07:13. > :07:17.murder, we are told, in connection with the right. Debate go on over

:07:17. > :07:20.how the riots were policed, whether the initial response was too timid,

:07:20. > :07:24.but it seems all our forces are fighting back, determined to build

:07:24. > :07:28.a case against those who contributed to last week's disorder.

:07:29. > :07:32.Thank you. A campaign has been set up to have

:07:32. > :07:37.two men from Southend who are in jail in Spain after being arrested

:07:37. > :07:40.over an attack on two men in a bar. James Harris and cow Fein were

:07:40. > :07:44.stopped by police at the airport as they were waiting to fly home after

:07:44. > :07:48.a long weekend. Their family and friends say it is a case of

:07:48. > :07:54.mistaken identity. Joining his is Geoff Elliott, who was on holiday

:07:54. > :07:59.with them, and Carl's brother. Joe, you were on holiday with them and

:07:59. > :08:07.you were with them when they arrested. You're not with them when

:08:07. > :08:13.the attack was supposed to have happened. None of us were out at

:08:13. > :08:17.the time of the incident. We were drinking in a bar called Bush

:08:17. > :08:21.Wacker, and the incident happened in a bar called Flanagan has. We

:08:21. > :08:26.only leads of the existence of Flanagan has after they had been

:08:26. > :08:31.arrested. We have never been in the bar or head of it. It is at the

:08:31. > :08:37.other end of the strip of bars to that one we were in. It is not very

:08:37. > :08:41.close. It is a case of mistaken identity. How do you think that

:08:41. > :08:50.came about? How do you think they were selected as the people who did

:08:50. > :08:56.this? It is quite straightforward from how I can see it. They were

:08:56. > :09:02.very friendly with the bar staff in the bush laquer. They wanted to

:09:03. > :09:08.stay in contact with the bar staff, they gave their contact details and

:09:08. > :09:16.names, and said, we are flying home tomorrow night. Someone took it

:09:16. > :09:25.upon themselves to go up from Flanagan's tourism investigation,

:09:25. > :09:32.they asked about two Londoners, and they were given their names. They

:09:32. > :09:37.are lovely dies. They are nice and chatty. That is how they found them

:09:37. > :09:43.at the airport. They were looking at them. J, you have been to see

:09:43. > :09:48.your brother. How are they at the moment? They are up-and-down. At

:09:48. > :09:57.the beginning, when we first saw them, I visited them the first week

:09:57. > :10:02.there was in prison, and car was very distressed and tearful. As

:10:02. > :10:06.time has come on, we had a bit of a problem in the court. He was told

:10:06. > :10:14.by one of the translators, we have got you now, we have got enough to

:10:14. > :10:19.keep you. He was crying when he came out of the court. They're

:10:19. > :10:29.getting into a routine. What help are you getting from the foreign

:10:29. > :10:30.

:10:30. > :10:34.office, or bottle part they are getting? We have had great support.

:10:34. > :10:39.Myself and lots of family and friends have contacted local MPs,

:10:39. > :10:44.and they have sent off to the foreign office, and there are aware

:10:44. > :10:48.of it, but I have not heard of anything come back from the foreign

:10:48. > :10:53.office to say they are looking into it, they are looking into it but we

:10:53. > :10:58.do not know what the outcome is. Thank you for talking to us. We

:10:58. > :11:02.will continue to watch the case. Thank-you. Thank you.

:11:02. > :11:06.Later in the programme: More on super-fast broadband.

:11:06. > :11:11.When will you get it? Although the weather is changeable,

:11:11. > :11:19.you can expect a sunny start to tomorrow. They forecast coming up

:11:20. > :11:23.after more news where you left. There's growing concern from

:11:23. > :11:28.relatives and staff over the standard of care at the Partridge

:11:28. > :11:33.Care Centre in Harlow. One resident died and two more were taken to

:11:33. > :11:37.hospital on the same day. The Partridge Care Centre, modern,

:11:37. > :11:42.privately run and now the focus of a criminal investigation. One

:11:42. > :11:47.resident is dead, another two in hospital. Amid unconfirmed reports

:11:47. > :11:52.that all three may have been given too much insulin here in this unit.

:11:52. > :11:55.For those with relatives at their home, anxious times. Tina has a

:11:56. > :12:00.mother in law here. I have been concerned for the last six months

:12:00. > :12:09.in particular about different things regarding the level of care.

:12:09. > :12:18.Medication, water, regarding a tension. -- Regarding attention.

:12:18. > :12:24.Michael is 95. -- Michael has a 95- year-old father. There have not

:12:24. > :12:29.been enough staff. The facilities are not being used. For some reason,

:12:29. > :12:34.they lack management. A succession of investigations are under way. A

:12:34. > :12:38.debt is six-year-old woman has been arrested and released on bail. The

:12:38. > :12:41.regulator inspected it area this year and found a home at failed to

:12:41. > :12:45.reach seven essential standards, including residents to offer not

:12:45. > :12:49.been protected from abuse, residents not been given medicine

:12:49. > :12:57.they need when they need them. It is an assessment shared by Lucy.

:12:57. > :13:00.Her husband and cousin work at the care health. My husband has been

:13:00. > :13:06.asking for training since he started, two-and-a-half years ago.

:13:06. > :13:09.He is still asking for training. All he has done his health and

:13:09. > :13:14.safety. People are in and out that place all the time. Management have

:13:14. > :13:16.never been any good. The director of this care how did not want to

:13:16. > :13:21.appear on camera. She told me they are doing everything they can to

:13:21. > :13:25.promote the well-being and care of all 78 residents here. She

:13:25. > :13:29.categorically denied any issue to do with poor training, saying she

:13:29. > :13:38.had a dedicated manager to make sure that all staff had the

:13:38. > :13:43.A man had to be airlifted to hospital after suffering a sugar

:13:43. > :13:47.burns -- acid burns at a sugar factory. The man was taken to a

:13:47. > :13:52.specialist unit at Broomfield Hospital in Essex after suffering

:13:52. > :13:56.burns to his neck, chest and hands. Fire crews have been tackling house

:13:56. > :14:01.fire at a village in Essex for the past few hours. They were called

:14:01. > :14:05.out to the thatched cottage at 11:30am. They are now removing

:14:05. > :14:09.furniture from their eyes and stripping back the thatch.

:14:09. > :14:14.Nazi invasion plans for the town of Ipswich are to go under the hammer

:14:15. > :14:18.this week. The a arial maps were seized from Germany at their end of

:14:18. > :14:22.that second world war. They show detailed bombing plans.

:14:22. > :14:27.It is wildly known that Hitler drew up plans for the invasion of the

:14:27. > :14:32.British mainland during Second World War. These chillingly

:14:32. > :14:37.detailed maps showed just how real the threat of that invasion was for

:14:37. > :14:41.Ipswich. The maps were snatched from Germany at their end of the

:14:41. > :14:47.second world war. The Auctioneers soon discovered the chilling

:14:47. > :14:51.significance of locations marked read a map.

:14:51. > :14:54.These areas where the strategic targets. Or when you think that

:14:54. > :14:59.they included the hospitals and also the mental hospital in the

:14:59. > :15:04.area, it became quite a shocking feeling to think that the Germans

:15:04. > :15:09.were obviously clearly planning on bombing these places as well as the

:15:09. > :15:15.more obvious industrial targets. One local historian said that, will

:15:15. > :15:19.shock that hospitals were targeted, he was not surprised Ipswich was

:15:19. > :15:23.considered for invasion. The city docks would have been ideal for

:15:24. > :15:30.landing an invasion force. They Engineering work is obviously prime

:15:30. > :15:36.interest, the real as well. They could have doctor quite sizable

:15:36. > :15:39.ships. The maps are expected to fetch hundreds of pounds when sold

:15:40. > :15:47.later this week. If the offer a chilling insight into what is

:15:47. > :15:51.easily -- could easily have been. If you are watching Look East in

:15:51. > :15:56.Norfolk are part of Suffolk you will need to retune tomorrow as

:15:56. > :16:00.some channels are being moved. If you are watching an analogue signal

:16:00. > :16:06.from the Tacolneston transmitter you will not be affected, but for

:16:06. > :16:11.Freeview, BT's vision or Top Up TV from a Tacolneston you will need to

:16:11. > :16:14.retune after six am tomorrow morning. Messages explaining what

:16:14. > :16:19.to do will appear on all Freeview screens.

:16:19. > :16:23.I knew birthing unit has opened at the Norfolk University Hospital.

:16:23. > :16:28.The centre was set up to provide extra capacity and will be run by

:16:28. > :16:34.midwives. It will provide more of a home from home setting for mothers

:16:34. > :16:39.and complications are not expected. Need Chloe. She is just over four

:16:39. > :16:44.hours old and she is the 24th baby to be born at this new unit. It is

:16:44. > :16:51.an alternative for expecting parents. When we came in last night,

:16:51. > :16:55.we had the option for the pool bath, which I had not intended having,

:16:55. > :17:00.because it did not know if I would like idea, but the pains were quick

:17:00. > :17:05.Severe so I thought why not. Having the the one to one, having the

:17:05. > :17:10.midwife here, has been fantastic. We enjoyed the fact that we had our

:17:10. > :17:15.own room. There were four or birthing rooms, each had been named.

:17:15. > :17:20.This is the jazz men remanded is one of three with a pool. This is

:17:20. > :17:26.the unit has been opened, around 60% of couples have chosen to have

:17:26. > :17:29.up water births. The benefit is for the women themselves, it is the

:17:29. > :17:36.home from home environment but it is about the midwives practising in

:17:36. > :17:41.the way that be sued. The new suite helps a hospital cope with increase

:17:41. > :17:46.in births. When they first opened there were around four or 1,500.

:17:46. > :17:50.That figure has now shot up to 6,000. Just down the corridor is

:17:50. > :18:00.the main delivery suite, so new parents can be reassured that the

:18:09. > :18:14.connection is fast becoming a necessity for both homes and

:18:14. > :18:17.businesses. As we reported yesterday, it is expensive.

:18:17. > :18:21.Yesterday we heard about Cambridgeshire, with extra money

:18:21. > :18:26.coming from the county council, today it is a whole region with new
