Welcome to Look East. Coming up in the next 30 minutes...

:00:12.:00:18.

Speak English or you cannot work for the NHS. The Health Secretary

:00:18.:00:22.

spells it out that three years after this foreign doctor killed

:00:22.:00:27.

his own patient. We must be determined that doctors that come

:00:27.:00:32.

from overseas to work here must not only have the right qualifications,

:00:32.:00:38.

but the language skills needed. On the move. The travellers who

:00:38.:00:42.

hitched up in a Luton park are back on the road after the bailiffs

:00:42.:00:45.

ordered them off. And I am sick of it. Night and day

:00:45.:00:51.

on the road. It is not fair on the children.

:00:51.:00:54.

The super-broccoli developed in Norfolk. The experts say it can

:00:54.:00:59.

ward off cancer. And it is the region's art event of

:00:59.:01:09.
:01:09.:01:14.

the year. Crowds get ready to enjoy the works of a Dutch master.

:01:14.:01:19.

The Government had a clear message today for foreign doctors who want

:01:19.:01:23.

to work for the NHS. You must learn to speak English properly or you

:01:23.:01:29.

will not get a job. The claim was made by Health Secretary Andrew

:01:29.:01:33.

Lansley, who told the conference that doctors with a poor grasp of

:01:33.:01:39.

English would no longer be tolerated. It comes three years

:01:39.:01:41.

after the scandal of Dr Daniel Ubani, the German doctor

:01:41.:01:46.

responsible for the death of a patient in Cambridgeshire.

:01:46.:01:51.

A doctor's to come from overseas to work you must not only have the

:01:51.:01:54.

right qualifications, but the language skills needed to practise

:01:54.:01:59.

here. The Government pledge to be brought about by this German Doctor

:01:59.:02:05.

Who killed a Cambridge a patient and escaped British justice. Dr

:02:05.:02:10.

Daniel Ubani gave a fatal Martijn the -- gave a fatal morphine dose

:02:10.:02:17.

to David Gray. He was confronted by the victim's sons in Germany, who

:02:17.:02:20.

fought for tighter controls to protect British patients from

:02:20.:02:24.

dangerous doctors who are clinically incompetent and speak

:02:24.:02:28.

little English. Local checks will be introduced on a doctor's

:02:28.:02:35.

language skills. It is a positive step. But it is not ideal. The

:02:35.:02:40.

national regulators should test for language and critical competency at

:02:40.:02:47.

the point of registration. They see this as a compromise. And that it

:02:47.:02:51.

of short of all the protections needed to safeguard the public. In

:02:51.:02:56.

the case of Dr Ubani, it was his clinical and language villains that

:02:56.:03:05.

were blamed for David Gray's debt. It. Many of the things that have

:03:05.:03:11.

happened and stop -- and help increase confidence. This is very

:03:11.:03:15.

well, and response to the root cause of what went wrong 3.5 years

:03:15.:03:22.

ago. Dr Ubani's trail of devastation has not hampered him

:03:22.:03:27.

professionally in Germany, where he continues to treat patients. He may

:03:27.:03:32.

be banned here, but can work in other countries. It is hoped the

:03:32.:03:38.

announcement today will go some way to prevent another tragedy.

:03:38.:03:42.

Just before we came on air, I spoke to Andrew Lansley at the conference

:03:42.:03:47.

in Manchester. I put it to him that Dr Ubani did not speak good English

:03:47.:03:52.

but did not know the drug he was prescribing. Are we to relied on

:03:52.:03:59.

locum doctors from abroad? We need to make sure we are not relied on

:03:59.:04:03.

local doctors, because continuity of care is better without that.

:04:04.:04:08.

What I announce today is not simply to change the law so that doctors

:04:08.:04:13.

are competent in the languages, in English here, in order to provide

:04:13.:04:17.

treatment, but we will change it so that doctors must be competent to

:04:17.:04:23.

do the job. Will we get away from this haphazard business of some NHS

:04:23.:04:27.

Trusts being happy to appoint people and others not, because that

:04:27.:04:33.

is what happened with Daniel Ubani. It was indeed. That is what we will

:04:33.:04:38.

do. There will be new, responsible officers who across the NHS will

:04:38.:04:42.

ensure that the standards of medical professionals are

:04:42.:04:46.

maintained and get high, but also the General Medical Council will

:04:46.:04:51.

stand behind that. If there are any concerns, or responsible officers

:04:51.:04:57.

do, they can step in either not to register or to step in and restrict

:04:57.:05:01.

practice. Why not the other issues mentioned in your speech was

:05:01.:05:07.

nursing standards. -- one of the other. I know this is close to

:05:07.:05:11.

viewers' hearts. When we talk about standards of her delay care earlier

:05:11.:05:16.

this year, we had a huge postbag. What do you propose to increase

:05:16.:05:22.

nursing standards across the NHS? We have to firstly make sure that

:05:22.:05:27.

we are there are any deficiencies in standards, we identify it. I

:05:27.:05:32.

asked the Care Quality Commission earlier this year to up unannounced

:05:32.:05:37.

inspections, led by nurses, and over 100 have been done, focusing

:05:37.:05:43.

on dignity, nutrition, privacy and respect. We will maintain that.

:05:43.:05:47.

Equally, we need to give the nursing profession the

:05:47.:05:51.

responsibility and ability to do their job, delivered in high

:05:51.:05:57.

standards. It is about cutting bureaucracy, ensuring that, where

:05:57.:06:03.

nurses have concerns, as we saw for example a few years ago at the Mid

:06:04.:06:08.

Staffs Hospital, that they have a responsibility to blow blue whistle

:06:08.:06:13.

on any problems and that managers in the NHS have to act on that.

:06:13.:06:18.

it also down to a changing culture? A lot of people say that what seems

:06:18.:06:24.

to have gone his kindness. There is a lot of kindness in hospitals.

:06:24.:06:28.

Nurses feel made to provide that kind of bobs -- that kind of thing.

:06:28.:06:34.

It is not shut off to someone else, not the health care assistant's

:06:34.:06:38.

jobs to care for patients. Nurses lead that a nursing standards

:06:38.:06:42.

matter. We have to make sure we give nurses time to care. When I

:06:42.:06:46.

spoke to you this time last year, we spoke about the problems you

:06:46.:06:50.

were facing from the medical profession about their health and

:06:50.:06:54.

social care Bell. One year on, still and more problems, even

:06:54.:07:00.

though you had to make changes. A revolt today by 400 public health

:07:00.:07:06.

experts. There is still a lot of concern about the changes. I always

:07:06.:07:11.

knew it would be difficult and I knew it was right. Equally, I think

:07:11.:07:17.

it is a sign of a government that is really willing to listen and to

:07:17.:07:21.

act and to change the detail of plants whenever we think it is

:07:21.:07:27.

right, that we have been willing to do that. -- DT of plants. We are

:07:27.:07:32.

engaging people right across the health service, the forum is led by

:07:32.:07:36.

experts and senior professionals, engaging with thousands of senior

:07:36.:07:40.

professionals across the NHS in helping us to ensure the plans be

:07:40.:07:44.

bring forward not only match up to principles, but will also be

:07:44.:07:50.

effective in prat -- effective in practice. A thank you.

:07:50.:07:54.

The affection operation at Dale Farm in Essex is still in legal

:07:54.:07:59.

limbo tonight after another delay at the High Court. -- eviction

:07:59.:08:04.

operation. It is now more than two weeks since the local council for

:08:04.:08:08.

the Brits are clearing the site. Meanwhile, another group of

:08:08.:08:12.

travellers to park their caravans on a park in Luton moved off to

:08:12.:08:15.

deal after being told to do so by bailiffs.

:08:15.:08:20.

For a fortnight, they have been camping illegally in a corner of

:08:20.:08:23.

Stockwood Park and with the clock ticking towards addiction, there

:08:23.:08:28.

were no signs of anyone preparing to leave this morning. -- towards

:08:28.:08:32.

eviction. The police arrived to warn families the billets were on

:08:32.:08:37.

their way. 22 caravans were served notices to quit four days after

:08:38.:08:43.

arrival. The eviction was delayed until today to allow them to attend

:08:43.:08:48.

a funeral. It is ten minutes to be dead line for the travellers to

:08:48.:08:53.

leave and only one caravan has left. Two men came over and told us they

:08:53.:08:59.

have no intention of going. Shortly after the deadline, Baylis from

:08:59.:09:04.

Constant & Co moved in, the same company contracted to evict

:09:04.:09:09.

travellers from Dale Farm in Essex. There was a warning that caravans

:09:09.:09:13.

would be removed unless the left of their own accord. With the arrival

:09:13.:09:19.

of two tow trucks, most travellers looked likely to do that. Some

:09:19.:09:25.

clear of rubbish before leaving the park. What do you think about

:09:25.:09:32.

leaving the park? I am sick. Where are you going? I will look, it is

:09:32.:09:36.

not fear on the children. It was quite intimidating walking around

:09:36.:09:41.

here. I have been coming here most afternoons and whilst walking

:09:41.:09:47.

around, about five children shouted racial abuse. This is the sort of

:09:47.:09:52.

thing they were doing. B-listed remove a handful of caravans,

:09:52.:09:57.

collected later by their owners. -- bailiffs removed. The council

:09:57.:10:01.

cannot say what the cost is, but it is expected to rise to several

:10:01.:10:07.

thousand pounds. Later on Look East, why eating your

:10:07.:10:11.

greens is good for you. Of world-famous collection of

:10:11.:10:15.

paintings goes on show for the first time in this country.

:10:15.:10:18.

And the late, late summer waves goodbye tomorrow, after all

:10:18.:10:28.

forecast coming up later. Members of Suffolk's Major

:10:28.:10:32.

Investigation Team have been called in to solve the mystery of body

:10:32.:10:37.

remains found in Ipswich. A police cordon has been set up around the

:10:37.:10:42.

site on waste ground off the valley road. Police forensic teams spent

:10:42.:10:47.

the day combing the site for clues. The remains are definitely human,

:10:47.:10:52.

but apart from that, little else is known. They were discovered by

:10:52.:10:56.

workers clearing waste ground off Valley Road. The site has been

:10:56.:11:02.

derelict for some years. Forensic teams have been working all day and

:11:02.:11:05.

police say it is not linking the discovery to any ongoing

:11:06.:11:12.

investigations. It is still very early. They are skeletal remains.

:11:12.:11:17.

We are in the process of recovering what we can and as the

:11:17.:11:21.

investigation develops that will give a clear picture of what I am

:11:21.:11:30.

dealing with. Police say the first tax -- the first task will be

:11:30.:11:37.

sealed and the age and sex. Suffolk police have not ruled out the

:11:37.:11:41.

possibility these remains could be of some considerable age. As such,

:11:41.:11:47.

they have brought in expert advice of a forensic archaeologist and

:11:47.:11:51.

anthropologist and appealed to the public if they have any information

:11:51.:11:59.

to shed some light as to how these remains came to be there.

:11:59.:12:04.

A man has been jailed for life for killing a Polish woman at her home

:12:04.:12:08.

in Norwich. In January, the police were called to a house on

:12:09.:12:12.

Copenhagen Way and found the body of a 34-year-old Magdalena

:12:12.:12:16.

Januszewska. Aaron O'Brien who had been in the relationship with her

:12:16.:12:21.

pleaded guilty. A prisoner has admitted trying to

:12:21.:12:26.

kill Ian Huntley in Durham jail. He is serving 45 years for the murders

:12:26.:12:30.

of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. Daniel facts pleaded guilty to

:12:30.:12:34.

slashing his throat. The NHS has launched a campaign in

:12:34.:12:39.

the region's hospitals to persuade its own doctors that nurses to have

:12:39.:12:43.

the winter flu jab. In one hospital last winter, five hospitals out of

:12:44.:12:48.

six fail to take up the offer. The launch of the flew fighter

:12:48.:12:53.

campaign, using the shopping trolley borrowed from a supermarket

:12:53.:12:56.

to speed around the site giving on- the-spot injections to staff it. No

:12:56.:13:06.
:13:06.:13:10.

If I have this done I hope most of the staff will have it as well.

:13:10.:13:15.

Last winter, 30% of nurses had the jab, but in this area there is a

:13:15.:13:25.
:13:25.:13:31.

I think a lot of it is that people are busy and forget the importance

:13:31.:13:36.

of it, and that is why this particular campaign is really

:13:36.:13:39.

important, and occupational health team will be out and about

:13:39.:13:43.

throughout the hospital making it as accessible as possible so that

:13:43.:13:52.

people do not have any excuse not to be vaccinated. This woman and

:13:52.:13:56.

her colleagues will be doing the trolley runs, the philosophy is

:13:56.:14:05.

simple going on. I will keep going until I run out of vaccine or

:14:05.:14:11.

energy. I am necklace -- Christmas flu very! I do not think they find

:14:11.:14:15.

that so far a! The have enough doses to cover all

:14:15.:14:23.

the staff, and they are aiming for it take a break of 90%. -- eight

:14:23.:14:29.

take up rate. While most of us have been enjoying

:14:29.:14:34.

the sun, councils are thinking about much colder weather. Some are

:14:34.:14:38.

predicting severe weather in November, and councils in Norfolk

:14:38.:14:43.

are building up their supplies of gritting salt.

:14:43.:14:47.

Temperatures soaring, the beaches back in business. Enough to banish

:14:47.:14:53.

all thoughts of this. The last two winters have been deadly. There was

:14:53.:14:58.

ice and snow before November, and it continued for months last year.

:14:58.:15:03.

Salt supplies ran low. In Norfolk, which has a long-term contract with

:15:03.:15:09.

a sort company, there is no danger of running out. They are piling it

:15:09.:15:14.

up. Norfolk County Council has seven of these around the council,

:15:14.:15:19.

plus two strategic stores. They will have about 20,000 tonnes of

:15:19.:15:22.

this specially treated sold ready to hit the road when temperatures

:15:23.:15:27.

plunge. We are ready. Some people may have

:15:27.:15:33.

seen some of the lorries out on the road network over the past few days.

:15:33.:15:37.

They will be surprised to see one when the weather is so hot, but we

:15:37.:15:41.

are doing last-minute checks on the vehicles and the brute to make sure

:15:41.:15:49.

everything will go to plan when the weather turns. -- the roots.

:15:49.:15:55.

council is responsible for gritting 2000 miles of roads. Last year it

:15:55.:16:00.

cost them �2 million. They have downplayed press reports that an

:16:00.:16:05.

early freeze is on the way. It is too early to say. But given what

:16:05.:16:12.

has happened these past couple of winters, anything is possible.

:16:12.:16:16.

Ipswich Hospital may lose vascular surgery if proposals to move its to

:16:16.:16:20.

Colchester are approved. Doctors at Ipswich Senate once the move, which

:16:20.:16:25.

would create a specialist centre at Colchester. Out-patient clinics and

:16:25.:16:29.

day treatments would stay in Ipswich. A consultation will run

:16:29.:16:33.

until the end of the year. This is a chance to improve the

:16:33.:16:38.

quality of care for our patients, not just in terms of outcomes but

:16:38.:16:44.

in terms of the patient experience. Had we not work together with

:16:44.:16:48.

Colchester, it is inevitable that our patients would have to have

:16:48.:16:53.

travelled further far to places like Cambridge and Norwich.

:16:53.:16:58.

The autumn heat wave has produced a rare sight. Fruit-picking is

:16:58.:17:02.

usually over by now, but the sunny start to October means you can

:17:02.:17:06.

still pick your own strawberries in some places.

:17:06.:17:12.

After 35 years of farming, this man has seen everything. But a bumper

:17:12.:17:17.

crop of strawberries in November -- in October has provoked mixed

:17:17.:17:21.

emotions. It is all added income, but I

:17:21.:17:25.

cannot help there will be some payback somewhere. Crops are not

:17:25.:17:28.

supposed to be doing what they are at this time of year, and nature

:17:28.:17:33.

has a way of balancing itself. How the balance is going to come, I

:17:33.:17:38.

dread to think. Not that his customers seem worried. Pick your

:17:38.:17:42.

own in autumn seems to be a welcome novelty.

:17:42.:17:46.

We normally come to pick sweet corn, but we have strawberries as well.

:17:46.:17:52.

And they are nice, juicy strawberries. This is the farm's

:17:52.:17:56.

second crop of the season, four a months after the first.

:17:56.:18:01.

It is all very well having a late strawberry crop, but do they taste

:18:01.:18:08.

as good as they should! The I can vouch for the fact that they taste

:18:08.:18:18.
:18:18.:18:23.

like some strawberries. All that is You are watching Look East from the

:18:23.:18:31.

BBC. Coming up, going Dutch in Cambridge.

:18:31.:18:35.

If you are about to start eating, the experts would say that you

:18:35.:18:40.

should eat those greens, because they are good for you.

:18:40.:18:45.

From today, there is a new type of broccoli on sale. It is called

:18:45.:18:48.

Beneforte, and food scientists claim it will help fight heart

:18:48.:18:53.

disease and cancer. The vegetable was developed in laboratories in

:18:53.:18:57.

Norwich, and is available to buy nationally.

:18:57.:19:01.

Broccoli has already considered by many to be a super food, especially

:19:01.:19:06.

rich in Venables's -- minerals and nutrients. Scientists found that

:19:06.:19:11.

people who later lot of it were staying healthy and not developing

:19:11.:19:19.

certain cancers. This prompted the research team to produce Beneforte.

:19:19.:19:24.

We have about two to three macro times the amount of a compound

:19:24.:19:30.

which when you eat it, it is converted to a another compound

:19:30.:19:34.

which moves into your bloodstream, and then it switches on the your

:19:34.:19:40.

natural defence mechanisms. It has gone on sale today in an

:19:40.:19:45.

exclusive six-month deal with Marks and Spencer. It costs 10% more than

:19:45.:19:50.

regular Brockley, but this seller says were allowed, he will stop it.

:19:50.:19:54.

We were try anything. But there has to be a reason for it. The fact

:19:54.:19:58.

that his has been developed in Norwich is good enough for me.

:19:58.:20:02.

am always suspicious of things like that. But I can't imagine it will

:20:02.:20:08.

do harm. I think we have to consider health issues these days,

:20:08.:20:13.

and that seems to be a good option. While scientists in Norwich have

:20:13.:20:17.

been focusing on our greens, here in West Norfolk, they have been

:20:18.:20:24.

concentrating on our hamburgers, how yellows and how all white.

:20:24.:20:29.

is just one variety, so within that breeding programme, the nutritional

:20:29.:20:35.

value will be very similar. A standard carrots and these multi-

:20:35.:20:38.

coloured ones, they are just the same really.

:20:38.:20:44.

This has been developed to appeal to children. But anything that gets

:20:44.:20:47.

the nation's eating more vegetables has to be a good thing. And for

:20:47.:20:54.

those who are put off eating them, good news, the odour has been it

:20:54.:20:59.

removed from Beneforte. I have not had a white carrots,

:20:59.:21:06.

have you? Know, I have not. Thousands of art lovers are

:21:06.:21:11.

expecting Cambridge over the next few weeks for a major exhibition on

:21:11.:21:15.

the golden age of Dutch painting. Some of them by Johannes Vermeer

:21:15.:21:22.

are on display for the first time. At the heart of the display is The

:21:22.:21:27.

Lacemaker, a picture rarely seen outside Paris. The exhibition opens

:21:27.:21:32.

tomorrow at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.

:21:32.:21:37.

Hanging on these walls is the work of Dutch masters, among than

:21:37.:21:42.

Johannes Vermeer. He only painted three dozen or so, as the most

:21:42.:21:47.

treasured his right here. It is his first visits to this country.

:21:47.:21:54.

There is huge excitement here. This is what a crew in the art world

:21:54.:22:00.

looks like. The Lacemaker on loan from the Louvre, the cornerstone of

:22:00.:22:04.

this collection. There is something immediate about

:22:04.:22:08.

his images. There is a beauty about how he creates light, as the

:22:08.:22:12.

glances between people, there is a psychological reality to what he

:22:12.:22:16.

does, and it is capturing in that frozen moment, a bit of a cliche,

:22:16.:22:23.

but it is very real. Take a close look at the work. What do you see?

:22:23.:22:33.
:22:33.:22:49.

Why is the lace maker so special. - - why is The Lacemaker so special?

:22:49.:22:53.

It is this diminutive treasure. You really do want to pick it up in

:22:53.:23:00.

your hands and hold it and get that sense of intimacy. Johannes Vermeer

:23:00.:23:04.
