:00:12. > :00:18.Welcome to Look East. Coming up in the next 30 minutes...

:00:18. > :00:22.Speak English or you cannot work for the NHS. The Health Secretary

:00:22. > :00:27.spells it out that three years after this foreign doctor killed

:00:27. > :00:32.his own patient. We must be determined that doctors that come

:00:32. > :00:38.from overseas to work here must not only have the right qualifications,

:00:38. > :00:42.but the language skills needed. On the move. The travellers who

:00:42. > :00:45.hitched up in a Luton park are back on the road after the bailiffs

:00:45. > :00:51.ordered them off. And I am sick of it. Night and day

:00:51. > :00:54.on the road. It is not fair on the children.

:00:54. > :00:59.The super-broccoli developed in Norfolk. The experts say it can

:00:59. > :01:09.ward off cancer. And it is the region's art event of

:01:09. > :01:14.

:01:14. > :01:19.the year. Crowds get ready to enjoy the works of a Dutch master.

:01:19. > :01:23.The Government had a clear message today for foreign doctors who want

:01:23. > :01:29.to work for the NHS. You must learn to speak English properly or you

:01:29. > :01:33.will not get a job. The claim was made by Health Secretary Andrew

:01:33. > :01:39.Lansley, who told the conference that doctors with a poor grasp of

:01:39. > :01:41.English would no longer be tolerated. It comes three years

:01:41. > :01:46.after the scandal of Dr Daniel Ubani, the German doctor

:01:46. > :01:51.responsible for the death of a patient in Cambridgeshire.

:01:51. > :01:54.A doctor's to come from overseas to work you must not only have the

:01:54. > :01:59.right qualifications, but the language skills needed to practise

:01:59. > :02:05.here. The Government pledge to be brought about by this German Doctor

:02:05. > :02:10.Who killed a Cambridge a patient and escaped British justice. Dr

:02:10. > :02:17.Daniel Ubani gave a fatal Martijn the -- gave a fatal morphine dose

:02:17. > :02:20.to David Gray. He was confronted by the victim's sons in Germany, who

:02:20. > :02:24.fought for tighter controls to protect British patients from

:02:24. > :02:28.dangerous doctors who are clinically incompetent and speak

:02:28. > :02:35.little English. Local checks will be introduced on a doctor's

:02:35. > :02:40.language skills. It is a positive step. But it is not ideal. The

:02:40. > :02:47.national regulators should test for language and critical competency at

:02:47. > :02:51.the point of registration. They see this as a compromise. And that it

:02:51. > :02:56.of short of all the protections needed to safeguard the public. In

:02:56. > :03:05.the case of Dr Ubani, it was his clinical and language villains that

:03:05. > :03:11.were blamed for David Gray's debt. It. Many of the things that have

:03:11. > :03:15.happened and stop -- and help increase confidence. This is very

:03:15. > :03:22.well, and response to the root cause of what went wrong 3.5 years

:03:22. > :03:27.ago. Dr Ubani's trail of devastation has not hampered him

:03:27. > :03:32.professionally in Germany, where he continues to treat patients. He may

:03:32. > :03:38.be banned here, but can work in other countries. It is hoped the

:03:38. > :03:42.announcement today will go some way to prevent another tragedy.

:03:42. > :03:47.Just before we came on air, I spoke to Andrew Lansley at the conference

:03:47. > :03:52.in Manchester. I put it to him that Dr Ubani did not speak good English

:03:52. > :03:59.but did not know the drug he was prescribing. Are we to relied on

:03:59. > :04:03.locum doctors from abroad? We need to make sure we are not relied on

:04:04. > :04:08.local doctors, because continuity of care is better without that.

:04:08. > :04:13.What I announce today is not simply to change the law so that doctors

:04:13. > :04:17.are competent in the languages, in English here, in order to provide

:04:17. > :04:23.treatment, but we will change it so that doctors must be competent to

:04:23. > :04:27.do the job. Will we get away from this haphazard business of some NHS

:04:27. > :04:33.Trusts being happy to appoint people and others not, because that

:04:33. > :04:38.is what happened with Daniel Ubani. It was indeed. That is what we will

:04:38. > :04:42.do. There will be new, responsible officers who across the NHS will

:04:42. > :04:46.ensure that the standards of medical professionals are

:04:46. > :04:51.maintained and get high, but also the General Medical Council will

:04:51. > :04:57.stand behind that. If there are any concerns, or responsible officers

:04:57. > :05:01.do, they can step in either not to register or to step in and restrict

:05:01. > :05:07.practice. Why not the other issues mentioned in your speech was

:05:07. > :05:11.nursing standards. -- one of the other. I know this is close to

:05:11. > :05:16.viewers' hearts. When we talk about standards of her delay care earlier

:05:16. > :05:22.this year, we had a huge postbag. What do you propose to increase

:05:22. > :05:27.nursing standards across the NHS? We have to firstly make sure that

:05:27. > :05:32.we are there are any deficiencies in standards, we identify it. I

:05:32. > :05:37.asked the Care Quality Commission earlier this year to up unannounced

:05:37. > :05:43.inspections, led by nurses, and over 100 have been done, focusing

:05:43. > :05:47.on dignity, nutrition, privacy and respect. We will maintain that.

:05:47. > :05:51.Equally, we need to give the nursing profession the

:05:51. > :05:57.responsibility and ability to do their job, delivered in high

:05:57. > :06:03.standards. It is about cutting bureaucracy, ensuring that, where

:06:04. > :06:08.nurses have concerns, as we saw for example a few years ago at the Mid

:06:08. > :06:13.Staffs Hospital, that they have a responsibility to blow blue whistle

:06:13. > :06:18.on any problems and that managers in the NHS have to act on that.

:06:18. > :06:24.it also down to a changing culture? A lot of people say that what seems

:06:24. > :06:28.to have gone his kindness. There is a lot of kindness in hospitals.

:06:28. > :06:34.Nurses feel made to provide that kind of bobs -- that kind of thing.

:06:34. > :06:38.It is not shut off to someone else, not the health care assistant's

:06:38. > :06:42.jobs to care for patients. Nurses lead that a nursing standards

:06:42. > :06:46.matter. We have to make sure we give nurses time to care. When I

:06:46. > :06:50.spoke to you this time last year, we spoke about the problems you

:06:50. > :06:54.were facing from the medical profession about their health and

:06:54. > :07:00.social care Bell. One year on, still and more problems, even

:07:00. > :07:06.though you had to make changes. A revolt today by 400 public health

:07:06. > :07:11.experts. There is still a lot of concern about the changes. I always

:07:11. > :07:17.knew it would be difficult and I knew it was right. Equally, I think

:07:17. > :07:21.it is a sign of a government that is really willing to listen and to

:07:21. > :07:27.act and to change the detail of plants whenever we think it is

:07:27. > :07:32.right, that we have been willing to do that. -- DT of plants. We are

:07:32. > :07:36.engaging people right across the health service, the forum is led by

:07:36. > :07:40.experts and senior professionals, engaging with thousands of senior

:07:40. > :07:44.professionals across the NHS in helping us to ensure the plans be

:07:44. > :07:50.bring forward not only match up to principles, but will also be

:07:50. > :07:54.effective in prat -- effective in practice. A thank you.

:07:54. > :07:59.The affection operation at Dale Farm in Essex is still in legal

:07:59. > :08:04.limbo tonight after another delay at the High Court. -- eviction

:08:04. > :08:08.operation. It is now more than two weeks since the local council for

:08:08. > :08:12.the Brits are clearing the site. Meanwhile, another group of

:08:12. > :08:15.travellers to park their caravans on a park in Luton moved off to

:08:15. > :08:20.deal after being told to do so by bailiffs.

:08:20. > :08:23.For a fortnight, they have been camping illegally in a corner of

:08:23. > :08:28.Stockwood Park and with the clock ticking towards addiction, there

:08:28. > :08:32.were no signs of anyone preparing to leave this morning. -- towards

:08:32. > :08:37.eviction. The police arrived to warn families the billets were on

:08:38. > :08:43.their way. 22 caravans were served notices to quit four days after

:08:43. > :08:48.arrival. The eviction was delayed until today to allow them to attend

:08:48. > :08:53.a funeral. It is ten minutes to be dead line for the travellers to

:08:53. > :08:59.leave and only one caravan has left. Two men came over and told us they

:08:59. > :09:04.have no intention of going. Shortly after the deadline, Baylis from

:09:04. > :09:09.Constant & Co moved in, the same company contracted to evict

:09:09. > :09:13.travellers from Dale Farm in Essex. There was a warning that caravans

:09:13. > :09:19.would be removed unless the left of their own accord. With the arrival

:09:19. > :09:25.of two tow trucks, most travellers looked likely to do that. Some

:09:25. > :09:32.clear of rubbish before leaving the park. What do you think about

:09:32. > :09:36.leaving the park? I am sick. Where are you going? I will look, it is

:09:36. > :09:41.not fear on the children. It was quite intimidating walking around

:09:41. > :09:47.here. I have been coming here most afternoons and whilst walking

:09:47. > :09:52.around, about five children shouted racial abuse. This is the sort of

:09:52. > :09:57.thing they were doing. B-listed remove a handful of caravans,

:09:57. > :10:01.collected later by their owners. -- bailiffs removed. The council

:10:01. > :10:07.cannot say what the cost is, but it is expected to rise to several

:10:07. > :10:11.thousand pounds. Later on Look East, why eating your

:10:11. > :10:15.greens is good for you. Of world-famous collection of

:10:15. > :10:18.paintings goes on show for the first time in this country.

:10:18. > :10:28.And the late, late summer waves goodbye tomorrow, after all

:10:28. > :10:32.forecast coming up later. Members of Suffolk's Major

:10:32. > :10:37.Investigation Team have been called in to solve the mystery of body

:10:37. > :10:42.remains found in Ipswich. A police cordon has been set up around the

:10:42. > :10:47.site on waste ground off the valley road. Police forensic teams spent

:10:47. > :10:52.the day combing the site for clues. The remains are definitely human,

:10:52. > :10:56.but apart from that, little else is known. They were discovered by

:10:56. > :11:02.workers clearing waste ground off Valley Road. The site has been

:11:02. > :11:05.derelict for some years. Forensic teams have been working all day and

:11:06. > :11:12.police say it is not linking the discovery to any ongoing

:11:12. > :11:17.investigations. It is still very early. They are skeletal remains.

:11:17. > :11:21.We are in the process of recovering what we can and as the

:11:21. > :11:30.investigation develops that will give a clear picture of what I am

:11:30. > :11:37.dealing with. Police say the first tax -- the first task will be

:11:37. > :11:41.sealed and the age and sex. Suffolk police have not ruled out the

:11:41. > :11:47.possibility these remains could be of some considerable age. As such,

:11:47. > :11:51.they have brought in expert advice of a forensic archaeologist and

:11:51. > :11:59.anthropologist and appealed to the public if they have any information

:11:59. > :12:04.to shed some light as to how these remains came to be there.

:12:04. > :12:08.A man has been jailed for life for killing a Polish woman at her home

:12:09. > :12:12.in Norwich. In January, the police were called to a house on

:12:12. > :12:16.Copenhagen Way and found the body of a 34-year-old Magdalena

:12:16. > :12:21.Januszewska. Aaron O'Brien who had been in the relationship with her

:12:21. > :12:26.pleaded guilty. A prisoner has admitted trying to

:12:26. > :12:30.kill Ian Huntley in Durham jail. He is serving 45 years for the murders

:12:30. > :12:34.of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. Daniel facts pleaded guilty to

:12:34. > :12:39.slashing his throat. The NHS has launched a campaign in

:12:39. > :12:43.the region's hospitals to persuade its own doctors that nurses to have

:12:44. > :12:48.the winter flu jab. In one hospital last winter, five hospitals out of

:12:48. > :12:53.six fail to take up the offer. The launch of the flew fighter

:12:53. > :12:56.campaign, using the shopping trolley borrowed from a supermarket

:12:56. > :13:06.to speed around the site giving on- the-spot injections to staff it. No

:13:06. > :13:10.

:13:10. > :13:15.If I have this done I hope most of the staff will have it as well.

:13:15. > :13:25.Last winter, 30% of nurses had the jab, but in this area there is a

:13:25. > :13:31.

:13:31. > :13:36.I think a lot of it is that people are busy and forget the importance

:13:36. > :13:39.of it, and that is why this particular campaign is really

:13:39. > :13:43.important, and occupational health team will be out and about

:13:43. > :13:52.throughout the hospital making it as accessible as possible so that

:13:52. > :13:56.people do not have any excuse not to be vaccinated. This woman and

:13:56. > :14:05.her colleagues will be doing the trolley runs, the philosophy is

:14:05. > :14:11.simple going on. I will keep going until I run out of vaccine or

:14:11. > :14:15.energy. I am necklace -- Christmas flu very! I do not think they find

:14:15. > :14:23.that so far a! The have enough doses to cover all

:14:23. > :14:29.the staff, and they are aiming for it take a break of 90%. -- eight

:14:29. > :14:34.take up rate. While most of us have been enjoying

:14:34. > :14:38.the sun, councils are thinking about much colder weather. Some are

:14:38. > :14:43.predicting severe weather in November, and councils in Norfolk

:14:43. > :14:47.are building up their supplies of gritting salt.

:14:47. > :14:53.Temperatures soaring, the beaches back in business. Enough to banish

:14:53. > :14:58.all thoughts of this. The last two winters have been deadly. There was

:14:58. > :15:03.ice and snow before November, and it continued for months last year.

:15:03. > :15:09.Salt supplies ran low. In Norfolk, which has a long-term contract with

:15:09. > :15:14.a sort company, there is no danger of running out. They are piling it

:15:14. > :15:19.up. Norfolk County Council has seven of these around the council,

:15:19. > :15:22.plus two strategic stores. They will have about 20,000 tonnes of

:15:23. > :15:27.this specially treated sold ready to hit the road when temperatures

:15:27. > :15:33.plunge. We are ready. Some people may have

:15:33. > :15:37.seen some of the lorries out on the road network over the past few days.

:15:37. > :15:41.They will be surprised to see one when the weather is so hot, but we

:15:41. > :15:49.are doing last-minute checks on the vehicles and the brute to make sure

:15:49. > :15:55.everything will go to plan when the weather turns. -- the roots.

:15:55. > :16:00.council is responsible for gritting 2000 miles of roads. Last year it

:16:00. > :16:05.cost them �2 million. They have downplayed press reports that an

:16:05. > :16:12.early freeze is on the way. It is too early to say. But given what

:16:12. > :16:16.has happened these past couple of winters, anything is possible.

:16:16. > :16:20.Ipswich Hospital may lose vascular surgery if proposals to move its to

:16:20. > :16:25.Colchester are approved. Doctors at Ipswich Senate once the move, which

:16:25. > :16:29.would create a specialist centre at Colchester. Out-patient clinics and

:16:29. > :16:33.day treatments would stay in Ipswich. A consultation will run

:16:33. > :16:38.until the end of the year. This is a chance to improve the

:16:38. > :16:44.quality of care for our patients, not just in terms of outcomes but

:16:44. > :16:48.in terms of the patient experience. Had we not work together with

:16:48. > :16:53.Colchester, it is inevitable that our patients would have to have

:16:53. > :16:58.travelled further far to places like Cambridge and Norwich.

:16:58. > :17:02.The autumn heat wave has produced a rare sight. Fruit-picking is

:17:02. > :17:06.usually over by now, but the sunny start to October means you can

:17:06. > :17:12.still pick your own strawberries in some places.

:17:12. > :17:17.After 35 years of farming, this man has seen everything. But a bumper

:17:17. > :17:21.crop of strawberries in November -- in October has provoked mixed

:17:21. > :17:25.emotions. It is all added income, but I

:17:25. > :17:28.cannot help there will be some payback somewhere. Crops are not

:17:28. > :17:33.supposed to be doing what they are at this time of year, and nature

:17:33. > :17:38.has a way of balancing itself. How the balance is going to come, I

:17:38. > :17:42.dread to think. Not that his customers seem worried. Pick your

:17:42. > :17:46.own in autumn seems to be a welcome novelty.

:17:46. > :17:52.We normally come to pick sweet corn, but we have strawberries as well.

:17:52. > :17:56.And they are nice, juicy strawberries. This is the farm's

:17:56. > :18:01.second crop of the season, four a months after the first.

:18:01. > :18:08.It is all very well having a late strawberry crop, but do they taste

:18:08. > :18:18.as good as they should! The I can vouch for the fact that they taste

:18:18. > :18:23.

:18:23. > :18:31.like some strawberries. All that is You are watching Look East from the

:18:31. > :18:35.BBC. Coming up, going Dutch in Cambridge.

:18:35. > :18:40.If you are about to start eating, the experts would say that you

:18:40. > :18:45.should eat those greens, because they are good for you.

:18:45. > :18:48.From today, there is a new type of broccoli on sale. It is called

:18:48. > :18:53.Beneforte, and food scientists claim it will help fight heart

:18:53. > :18:57.disease and cancer. The vegetable was developed in laboratories in

:18:57. > :19:01.Norwich, and is available to buy nationally.

:19:01. > :19:06.Broccoli has already considered by many to be a super food, especially

:19:06. > :19:11.rich in Venables's -- minerals and nutrients. Scientists found that

:19:11. > :19:19.people who later lot of it were staying healthy and not developing

:19:19. > :19:24.certain cancers. This prompted the research team to produce Beneforte.

:19:24. > :19:30.We have about two to three macro times the amount of a compound

:19:30. > :19:34.which when you eat it, it is converted to a another compound

:19:34. > :19:40.which moves into your bloodstream, and then it switches on the your

:19:40. > :19:45.natural defence mechanisms. It has gone on sale today in an

:19:45. > :19:50.exclusive six-month deal with Marks and Spencer. It costs 10% more than

:19:50. > :19:54.regular Brockley, but this seller says were allowed, he will stop it.

:19:54. > :19:58.We were try anything. But there has to be a reason for it. The fact

:19:58. > :20:02.that his has been developed in Norwich is good enough for me.

:20:02. > :20:08.am always suspicious of things like that. But I can't imagine it will

:20:08. > :20:13.do harm. I think we have to consider health issues these days,

:20:13. > :20:17.and that seems to be a good option. While scientists in Norwich have

:20:18. > :20:24.been focusing on our greens, here in West Norfolk, they have been

:20:24. > :20:29.concentrating on our hamburgers, how yellows and how all white.

:20:29. > :20:35.is just one variety, so within that breeding programme, the nutritional

:20:35. > :20:38.value will be very similar. A standard carrots and these multi-

:20:38. > :20:44.coloured ones, they are just the same really.

:20:44. > :20:47.This has been developed to appeal to children. But anything that gets

:20:47. > :20:54.the nation's eating more vegetables has to be a good thing. And for

:20:54. > :20:59.those who are put off eating them, good news, the odour has been it

:20:59. > :21:06.removed from Beneforte. I have not had a white carrots,

:21:06. > :21:11.have you? Know, I have not. Thousands of art lovers are

:21:11. > :21:15.expecting Cambridge over the next few weeks for a major exhibition on

:21:15. > :21:22.the golden age of Dutch painting. Some of them by Johannes Vermeer

:21:22. > :21:27.are on display for the first time. At the heart of the display is The

:21:27. > :21:32.Lacemaker, a picture rarely seen outside Paris. The exhibition opens

:21:32. > :21:37.tomorrow at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.

:21:37. > :21:42.Hanging on these walls is the work of Dutch masters, among than

:21:42. > :21:47.Johannes Vermeer. He only painted three dozen or so, as the most

:21:47. > :21:54.treasured his right here. It is his first visits to this country.

:21:54. > :22:00.There is huge excitement here. This is what a crew in the art world

:22:00. > :22:04.looks like. The Lacemaker on loan from the Louvre, the cornerstone of

:22:04. > :22:08.this collection. There is something immediate about

:22:08. > :22:12.his images. There is a beauty about how he creates light, as the

:22:12. > :22:16.glances between people, there is a psychological reality to what he

:22:16. > :22:23.does, and it is capturing in that frozen moment, a bit of a cliche,

:22:23. > :22:33.but it is very real. Take a close look at the work. What do you see?

:22:33. > :22:49.

:22:49. > :22:53.Why is the lace maker so special. - - why is The Lacemaker so special?

:22:53. > :23:00.It is this diminutive treasure. You really do want to pick it up in

:23:04. > :23:10.draw to into the painting. You want to get closer to this woman, you

:23:10. > :23:16.want to see what she is doing, and get to know her, but have the same

:23:16. > :23:23.time, his brushwork is in a way almost abstract when you get up

:23:23. > :23:27.very close to the painting. It is just exquisite. It is small and

:23:27. > :23:32.perfect, and you really do it just wants to hold it in your hands and

:23:32. > :23:35.stare at it forever. This will be a wonderful surprise for many people,

:23:35. > :23:40.because it is in a private collection and is hardly ever seen

:23:40. > :23:44.in an exhibition. One of the details I love about this painting

:23:44. > :23:50.are her hair ribbons, which are just these beautiful, exquisite,

:23:50. > :23:57.David -- delicate dribbles of paint. They are lovely details.

:23:57. > :24:02.Not here is another of his famous paintings, but some think that is

:24:02. > :24:08.now -- but something that has got the art world spellbound is.

:24:26. > :24:30.Additive-free that it -- it is We have one more day of above-

:24:30. > :24:37.average temperatures before things turned colder. We have had quite a

:24:37. > :24:41.lot of cloud across us, and we end the day on a cloudy note. It was a

:24:41. > :24:47.fairly breezy this evening, the wind easing down for the first part

:24:47. > :24:50.of the night and then picking up again before dawn. The cloud

:24:50. > :24:54.rolling in from the West again before the end of the night. It

:24:54. > :24:59.does not get a particularly cold, temperatures are still fairly mild

:24:59. > :25:04.with an overnight low expected of 12 Celsius. But as you see, the

:25:04. > :25:10.wind speed picking up through the night. A south-westerly wind,

:25:10. > :25:14.moderate in strength. It will be a breezy start to tomorrow. If you

:25:14. > :25:19.see Depression chart, you will see high pressure to reach south, and

:25:19. > :25:28.some low-pressure just off the chart to the north. It will bring

:25:28. > :25:37.strong winds. It will end -- this, -- this cold front will introduce

:25:37. > :25:41.colder temperatures. So for Tamara, a breezy and cloudy day. But that

:25:41. > :25:45.should clear around the middle of the day. We will see temperatures

:25:45. > :25:50.still above average for this time of year. They will range from about

:25:50. > :25:57.19 to 21 Celsius. Still a south- westerly wind, a moderate to fresh

:25:57. > :26:01.in strength. Through the afternoon and into the evening, it will turn

:26:01. > :26:06.increasingly cloudy as that cold front approaches, and it will start

:26:06. > :26:11.to bring some patchy rain. If you are a farmer, this will not amount

:26:11. > :26:17.to very much. It will dampen things down, but we should be damned --

:26:17. > :26:21.done with it by morning. The cold front players through and

:26:21. > :26:26.introduces this colder air. The source of this air is a play the

:26:26. > :26:31.Arctic, it has warmed up a little bit, so not as cold, but it will

:26:31. > :26:34.have a significant impact on our temperatures. Much cooler

:26:34. > :26:38.temperatures for Thursday, I think that'll be quite a shock to the

:26:38. > :26:43.system. There will be a strong westerly wind for Thursday, added

:26:43. > :26:52.to Friday, still windy conditions. They could be a shower on Thursday
