:00:06. > :00:10.In the programme tonight: Hopes of a breakthrough in the Julie Ward
:00:10. > :00:15.murder case, 23 years after she was killed in Kenya.
:00:15. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to Look East. Also tonight: The chief executive
:00:24. > :00:27.of a troubled hospital, defending its record on staff shortages.
:00:27. > :00:32.recognise that it can be challenging. We have a challenge to
:00:32. > :00:36.maintain our staffing and to work hard on recruitment.
:00:36. > :00:46.The Roots Hall miracle - where did it all go so right at Southend? And,
:00:46. > :00:50.
:00:50. > :01:00.as Bonfire Night approaches, the First tonight, renewed hopes of a
:01:00. > :01:17.
:01:17. > :01:20.breakthrough in the hunt for the killer of Julie Ward. -- A nurse at
:01:20. > :01:22.the troubled James Paget Hospital in Gorleston has told Look East it
:01:22. > :01:25.doesn't have enough staff. The woman, who didn't want to be
:01:25. > :01:27.identified, also said the staff have too much paperwork to deal
:01:27. > :01:30.with and that patients were being put at risk.
:01:30. > :01:36.This is an isolation ward where the patients could not speak highly
:01:36. > :01:41.enough of the hospital. This nurse is much less compliant --
:01:41. > :01:44.complementary. Her words are spoken by an actor. Patients are being put
:01:44. > :01:47.at risk and nothing is being done about it. My main concern is
:01:48. > :01:51.patient safety and they are not being put first.
:01:52. > :01:54.The hospital's Chief Executive told me they do have enough staff but
:01:55. > :02:00.getting the right staff in the right place at the right time is a
:02:00. > :02:04.challenge. Have you got enough staff? At certain times that is
:02:04. > :02:10.challenging. In principle we have, but I am being honest, we are
:02:10. > :02:14.always looking to recruit and we welcome staff coming here.
:02:14. > :02:22.Sometimes it is very difficult. The matrons will do a risk assessment
:02:22. > :02:26.on staff and we move staff end. This is the new acting chairman who
:02:26. > :02:31.takes over from the old one who resigned earlier this week. We have
:02:31. > :02:37.a difficulty, we accept that. We will put it right and this hospital
:02:37. > :02:47.will return to the excellent care that all patients have the right to
:02:47. > :02:49.
:02:49. > :02:59.expect. They have treated me top class. How can you criticise it?
:02:59. > :03:02.
:03:02. > :03:08.In defence of the James Paget Hospital, another nursed told us:
:03:08. > :03:11.Opinion at a hospital is clearly divided. I wrote to BBC Look East
:03:11. > :03:15.because nothing ever happens or get done. Every other nurse will tell
:03:15. > :03:19.you the same thing - it is a lack of staff. The James Paget Hospital
:03:19. > :03:29.is now waiting for a third report from the Care Quality Commission
:03:29. > :03:32.that is due in the next three weeks. Thanks to those of you who got in
:03:32. > :03:35.touch on that story, including many on Facebook. Here is a flavour.
:03:35. > :03:38.Linda Jones said, "I witnessed an elderly gentleman being given a
:03:38. > :03:44.bottle to go to the toilet. The curtains weren't even pulled around
:03:44. > :03:47.him. Despite constantly ringing the bell, there were no staff available.
:03:47. > :03:50.Most were in the staffroom celebrating someone's birthday."
:03:50. > :03:53.Anne Child next: "I have had lots of treatment at the hospital and
:03:53. > :03:58.have never had anything but good to say. My elderly parents moved here
:03:58. > :04:00.a year ago and are amazed that the wonderful treatment they have had."
:04:00. > :04:05.Chris Baker commented on yesterday's visit by the Health
:04:05. > :04:09.Secretary: "Well done, JPH. You made that look good for the cameras.
:04:09. > :04:14.I've just got back from visiting my dad. I saw only two nurses on Ward
:04:14. > :04:18.1. When the MPs were there, they were overstaffed." And finally Paul
:04:18. > :04:21.Wood: "I received great treatment there. This whole story smacks of
:04:21. > :04:25.MPs turning the issue of health into a political football. When
:04:25. > :04:35.will they start treating the subject in a non-political way?"
:04:35. > :04:38.
:04:38. > :04:41.Thanks, as always, for your comments.
:04:41. > :04:43.The Education Secretary has visited the region today to talk about the
:04:43. > :04:45.challenges faced by village schools. The so-called Regional Schools
:04:45. > :04:48.Summit was held at Methwold Community School in Norfolk, a
:04:48. > :04:50.school which now caters for everything from reception children
:04:50. > :04:59.to degree students. Our chief reporter, Kim Riley, has spent the
:04:59. > :05:07.day there. The reception class in what was the primary school in this
:05:07. > :05:10.village. From this September, the children here are part of a larger
:05:10. > :05:15.family. Just two years ago the school had been on the verge of
:05:15. > :05:21.dying with school rolls and standards slipping and difficulty
:05:21. > :05:27.finding a head teacher. Now it is all change. Denise Walker is now
:05:27. > :05:32.head of this school and another nearby, both of which have been
:05:32. > :05:36.merged. This school offers learning to everyone from the age of four to
:05:36. > :05:39.104. If I am pleased we have so many visitors this afternoon
:05:39. > :05:44.because I want to show what can be done if you want to be innovative
:05:44. > :05:49.and pioneering, or work with different partners, such as the
:05:49. > :05:52.universities we work with and the primary schools, and we have
:05:52. > :05:56.created it ourselves rather than waiting for someone else to do it
:05:56. > :06:00.for us. The school is piloting degree courses to keep it at the
:06:00. > :06:06.heart of the community. Finance is obviously a big issue for anyone
:06:06. > :06:10.going to university. Here, the costs are about a third of a
:06:10. > :06:14.regular university. It is important to try to get into the world of
:06:14. > :06:17.work as soon as possible. Doing a degree here allows you to have a
:06:17. > :06:21.full-time job as well. I think it is a good idea because it gives
:06:21. > :06:24.people round here more of an opportunity to do what they want to
:06:24. > :06:27.and more options as well. They are not limited.
:06:27. > :06:32.What is striking about a success that I had seen in Norfolk is that
:06:32. > :06:36.the head teacher is at the heart of the successful school. If you have
:06:36. > :06:40.a head teacher who is passionate and enthusiastic, knows their local
:06:40. > :06:44.community, is trusted by parents and has a clear vision, there is no
:06:44. > :06:48.limit to what can be achieved. Mr Grove said there should be more
:06:48. > :06:56.awareness of the problems of life in rural areas. This school is
:06:56. > :06:59.rising to the challenge. And you can hear a full interview with Mr
:06:59. > :07:06.Gove, recorded down the road from Methwold at Thetford Academy on the
:07:06. > :07:15.Politics Show this Sunday at noon. Later in the programme we meet the
:07:15. > :07:25.England cricketer Graeme Swann. And more bang for your buck - the art
:07:25. > :07:28.
:07:28. > :07:32.of fireworks in the science lab. A mother who has kept her teenage
:07:32. > :07:35.daughter out of school for eight months says she is prepared to go
:07:35. > :07:38.to jail. Pam Allen from Colchester says she is taking a stand after
:07:38. > :07:46.her daughter was wrongly accused of truancy and was put in an isolation
:07:47. > :07:53.unit. While her classmates at studied for
:07:53. > :07:56.their GCSEs, this girl was sitting at home. In March she failed to
:07:56. > :08:01.turn up for school. She said she was unwell but the school did not
:08:01. > :08:06.believe her. Her punishment? A day in the isolation unit. She was
:08:06. > :08:16.falsely accused, she had no right of recourse. That Stansted basic
:08:16. > :08:19.
:08:19. > :08:24.human justice that any child -- that stands to basic human justice.
:08:24. > :08:32.They chose not a believer. It is affecting my GCSEs, which I cannot
:08:32. > :08:35.take any more because I have missed out on the course work. For we
:08:35. > :08:39.tried to talk to the school but no- one was available. Essex county
:08:39. > :08:44.council says it never comments on individual cases but they did make
:08:45. > :08:49.this point: Every parent is legally required to ensure that their
:08:49. > :08:54.children undergo suitable full-time education. It is critical that all
:08:54. > :08:56.schools have a well-formed absence policy and that students know that,
:08:56. > :09:01.if they are not in school, there will be consequences. We would
:09:01. > :09:11.expect parents to support the school in reinforcing the message
:09:11. > :09:12.
:09:12. > :09:15.that at -- that attendance is crucial. The school has at --
:09:15. > :09:20.indicated that she can go back as long as she does that day in the
:09:20. > :09:24.isolation unit. In my opinion she has been victimised. Why should she
:09:24. > :09:30.be punished for something she is not guilty of? Not compromise, no
:09:30. > :09:37.backing down and, until a solution is found, this girl's education
:09:37. > :09:40.will suffer. Basildon council will have to wait until Monday to see if
:09:41. > :09:44.it can get a High Court injunction to stop travellers moving back on
:09:44. > :09:47.to the vacated site at Dale Farm. The council's been asked to provide
:09:47. > :09:50.more evidence of its concerns. Nearly all the legal plots have now
:09:50. > :09:53.been cleared. The disgraced Conservative peer
:09:53. > :09:57.Lord Hanningfield may be suspended from the House of Lords for nine
:09:57. > :10:00.months. The former leader of Essex County Council is now out of prison
:10:00. > :10:03.after serving a sentence for fiddling his parliamentary expenses.
:10:03. > :10:13.Two men have appeared in court following the discovery of
:10:13. > :10:14.
:10:14. > :10:22.Suffolk's biggest-ever haul of drugs. Leaving the magistrates'
:10:22. > :10:28.court today, this man is accused of conspiring to supply a quantity of
:10:28. > :10:34.cocaine. Another man from London faces the same charge. Police
:10:34. > :10:37.discovered the cocaine in Brandon on Tuesday. It was found in an
:10:37. > :10:40.industrial unit in Highbury roared. The two men appeared separately
:10:40. > :10:46.before magistrates. Each was in court for just a few minutes,
:10:46. > :10:50.confirming their name, address and age. No plea was entered at this
:10:50. > :10:53.stage but the they were told that this case was a very serious nature
:10:53. > :10:58.and could only be dealt with by the Crown Court in Ipswich. No
:10:58. > :11:01.applications for bail were made. Both men were remanded in custody
:11:01. > :11:11.until their next court appearance. That will take place at the Crown
:11:11. > :11:12.
:11:12. > :11:16.Court in Ipswich on 15th November. The highway services in Suffolk
:11:16. > :11:18.could be run by a private company as the county council tries to save
:11:18. > :11:21.money. It would include services like roadworks and winter gritting.
:11:21. > :11:24.The Conservative-run county council says the change could save �4
:11:24. > :11:27.million a year. The long-running row over the use
:11:28. > :11:30.of the Lotus name in Formula One is finally over. Both teams have
:11:31. > :11:33.agreed to change their names. From next year, Team Lotus, based at
:11:33. > :11:36.Hingham in Norfolk, will be called Caterham. Renault, who are
:11:36. > :11:41.currently sponsored by the Lotus car company, will become known as
:11:41. > :11:45.Lotus. On to sport now, and all of our football teams play tomorrow.
:11:45. > :11:50.Here's Tom. And an intriguing battle in the
:11:50. > :11:53.Premier League tomorrow between these two. Norwich, managed by Paul
:11:53. > :11:56.Lambert, who travel to Alex McLeish's Aston Villa. Just to
:11:56. > :11:59.refresh your memory, here is how the table's shaping up. At the top,
:11:59. > :12:02.big spenders Man City, followed by Man Utd, Newcastle, Chelsea and
:12:02. > :12:05.Spurs. Then below you will find the Canaries in eighth, and tomorrow's
:12:06. > :12:09.opponents, Villa, in ninth. So this is a key game. Norwich go into it
:12:09. > :12:14.after drawing 3-3 with Blackburn. The manager's expected to pick the
:12:14. > :12:17.same side for the seventh match running.
:12:17. > :12:19.Ipswich's six-match unbeaten run in the Championship has come to an
:12:19. > :12:22.abrupt end. Back-to-back defeats, including last week's 4-1 loss at
:12:22. > :12:25.Millwall, mean Town are desperately needing a win at home to Doncaster
:12:25. > :12:29.tomorrow. They have injury problems, but Michael Chopra, who has been
:12:29. > :12:32.receiving treatment for a gambling addiction, is likely to play.
:12:32. > :12:36.In League One, Colchester are at Tranmere. They go into the game
:12:36. > :12:39.after a 4-2 win. They have signed Swansea striker Casey Thomas on an
:12:39. > :12:47.emergency loan until January. He is available to make his debut
:12:47. > :12:50.tomorrow. Now, what a roller-coaster it's
:12:50. > :12:52.been for Southend in recent seasons. But under this man, Paul Sturrock,
:12:52. > :12:55.they're currently staging a dramatic revival. They are top of
:12:55. > :13:04.League Two, unbeaten in two months. Only last year, they were close to
:13:04. > :13:11.going out of business. Every reason to stand back and
:13:11. > :13:21.admire. Southend, top of the leak, unbeaten in 10, their best start to
:13:21. > :13:22.
:13:22. > :13:26.a season in 21 years. How come? attitude is right. A simple formula.
:13:26. > :13:30.What a turnaround! The manager arrived 16 months ago to find a
:13:30. > :13:34.club in chaos, close to administration, in and out of the
:13:34. > :13:39.High Court for winding up hearings. They had just been relegated, the
:13:39. > :13:47.squad in tatters. I got five letters of resignation so I had
:13:47. > :13:54.four players registered. It was a challenge, it was something that I
:13:54. > :13:59.really enjoyed. In the end, I am happy that we stayed up last year
:13:59. > :14:02.and we are competitive now. The club is going in the right
:14:02. > :14:12.direction. Last Saturday's win at Macclesfield
:14:12. > :14:13.
:14:13. > :14:19.send them to the top. Oxford are tomorrow's visitors. It has been a
:14:19. > :14:24.great few months. We are top of the league. Paul is very good.
:14:24. > :14:29.In contrast, progress on the new stadium has been laboured. It is
:14:29. > :14:33.dogged by delays, not helped by the economy. Construction is now due to
:14:33. > :14:43.begin in the New Year. How important is this new stadium to
:14:43. > :14:43.
:14:43. > :14:53.secure the future of Southend United? It is vital. It still needs
:14:53. > :14:56.
:14:56. > :15:00.around �800,000 put in this season. That will continue.
:15:00. > :15:03.It is a complex project which is slowly coming together. With the
:15:03. > :15:10.team already looking the finished article, the future is looking
:15:10. > :15:13.bright. As always, for more sport, go to the website. You can follow
:15:13. > :15:17.your team tomorrow on your local BBC radio station. There's Norwich
:15:17. > :15:20.highlights on Match Of The Day at 10:30pm and you can see the rest of
:15:20. > :15:23.our teams' goals on the Football League Show straight after. We will,
:15:23. > :15:25.of course, have a full round-up in our Sunday teatime bulletin. The

:15:48. > :15:53.summer. -- Now the latest on the murder of Julie Ward 23 years ago.
:15:53. > :15:59.Despite the huge amount of time and effort devoted to the case, it has
:15:59. > :16:03.not yet been sought. Here is Amelia Reynolds with the details of this
:16:03. > :16:07.long-running case. Julie Ward was in Kenya to take
:16:07. > :16:12.while white photographs put up is the pride that as a careful,
:16:12. > :16:16.charming and cautious person, her trip ended in tragedy. Her father
:16:16. > :16:20.found her burnt remains near a tree a week after she had gone missing.
:16:20. > :16:24.To begin with, the authorities claimed she had been killed by wild
:16:24. > :16:29.animals. Others said she could have committed suicide or could have
:16:29. > :16:34.been hit by lightning. A British pathologist showed that her body
:16:34. > :16:38.had been dismembered with a machete, doused in petrol and set alight.
:16:38. > :16:48.From the start, her father has been committed to finding her daughter's
:16:48. > :16:48.
:16:48. > :16:53.killers. He has been too keen yup 100 times. -- he has been to Kenya.
:16:53. > :17:00.No-one has ever been connected. Now there is a new war. A team of
:17:00. > :17:04.British detective landed in Nairobi last night, armed with new forensic
:17:04. > :17:07.techniques. They will be taking fingerprints and DNA samples. Could
:17:07. > :17:16.this be the breakthrough that John Ward has been hoping for for the
:17:16. > :17:26.last 23 years? John Ward is at his home now. Would
:17:26. > :17:27.
:17:27. > :17:31.you consider this a breakthrough? cannot really say that, no. I
:17:31. > :17:36.consider it just some progress on another line of inquiry, of which
:17:36. > :17:41.there are already several under way. You have been out to Kenya in
:17:41. > :17:51.recent weeks. Is there new information or is it just a case of
:17:51. > :18:04.
:18:04. > :18:08.using new technology to look at all Although we did not find precisely
:18:08. > :18:12.what we were looking for, we did find some items, which I cannot
:18:12. > :18:20.tell you about, but we did find some, and that has been sufficient
:18:20. > :18:25.to warrant a Scotland Yard ticking AGAIN. They left last Thursday
:18:25. > :18:29.morning and arrived last night. I was there two days earlier and, as
:18:29. > :18:38.they arrived, I came on. You have had to fight very hard over the
:18:38. > :18:42.years for this case to be continued. Are you satisfied with the
:18:42. > :18:46.attention it is getting from the police both here and in Kenya?
:18:46. > :18:51.There is certainly a new breeze blowing through Kenya. In the old
:18:51. > :18:54.days, the police were intent on sweeping the moder under the carpet
:18:54. > :19:02.and have now held up their hands to doing that. There is a new breed
:19:02. > :19:10.there now and I do get welcomed. It is a very different atmosphere.
:19:10. > :19:20.wish you all the best. We hope for good news. I do for joining us. --

:19:22. > :19:26.thank you. Next, the programme of arts events
:19:26. > :19:28.programmed to run alongside the Olympics next summer. Among the
:19:28. > :19:31.event, acrobats performing in cathedrals, and orchestra made up
:19:31. > :19:37.from young people across the world, and art installations on the beach.
:19:37. > :19:42.Stuart Maisner has this round-up. 21-year-old Sam has an Olympic
:19:42. > :19:52.dream. He hopes to be chosen to perform on this Suffolk stage as
:19:52. > :19:55.part of an orchestra made up of young people from around the world.
:19:55. > :20:02.To be part of a group from different parts of the world,
:20:02. > :20:09.making one thing together and performing and doing what we like,
:20:09. > :20:14.I would be so happy to be part of it. Musicians have always been an
:20:14. > :20:19.international group of people. To be able to bring them to such a
:20:19. > :20:23.special environment, to allow them to interact with local young people,
:20:23. > :20:27.to meet local young musicians and work together, it is very much a
:20:27. > :20:31.microcosm of the Olympic idea itself. To be able to do that in
:20:31. > :20:34.Suffolk is fantastic. Elsewhere, these award-winning
:20:34. > :20:39.Australian acrobats will be performing in Norwich Cathedral and
:20:39. > :20:44.other locations across the East. There will be dozens of events
:20:44. > :20:50.across the region in 2012. Highlights include large-scale
:20:50. > :20:53.pyrotechnics in Chelmsford, Brazilian carnival in Luton, new
:20:53. > :20:56.high-profile theatre productions in Northampton. It gives us an
:20:56. > :21:01.opportunity to showcase our exceptional organisations and
:21:01. > :21:09.talent, but it also brings into a national, world-class artists to
:21:09. > :21:13.our sure so. The London 22 off Festival runs
:21:13. > :21:22.from June till September. Full details of events near you are on
:21:22. > :21:25.the BBC Olympic website. It's been quite a week for cricket,
:21:25. > :21:28.with three members of the Pakistan team jailed for deliberately
:21:28. > :21:31.bowling no-balls during a test match at Lords last year. One of
:21:31. > :21:34.the England players that day was Northampton-born Graeme Swann. And
:21:34. > :21:41.today he was back in his home town with a new autobiography. James
:21:41. > :21:44.Burridge met him there. It is only fitting for Graeme Swann
:21:44. > :21:48.to be back in Northampton today. This is where he started his
:21:48. > :21:52.journey many years ago. Great to see you, first of all, but what a
:21:52. > :21:55.week it has been for cricket. Many say that the game has lost some
:21:55. > :22:01.innocence this week in light of what happened to the Pakistan
:22:01. > :22:05.players. What you think? It has been shocking, really. When
:22:05. > :22:15.cricketers are being put in prison it is a serious matter. We did not
:22:15. > :22:17.
:22:17. > :22:21.have any idea that it was going on. It was shocking and it still is.
:22:21. > :22:25.There is no bad blood between the two teams and it should be a good
:22:25. > :22:33.CDs in a few months' time. You have to tell it as you see it.
:22:33. > :22:38.Some people have upset by a few controversial statements. Now you
:22:38. > :22:44.have had time to discuss things, are the players have the? Shehzad
:22:44. > :22:52.Tanweer schools of thought - you can either write about things while
:22:52. > :23:02.you're playing or when you have finished. -- there are two schools
:23:02. > :23:04.
:23:04. > :23:10.of thought. What next? Will you spend time with
:23:10. > :23:16.the family? I hear you have a new child. Yes! I am going to try to
:23:17. > :23:26.get to know my son. He is nine months old. It should be good fun.
:23:27. > :23:32.
:23:32. > :23:36.Tomorrow night is Bonfire Night, of course. Some of us will have our
:23:36. > :23:39.own displays, many more will go to public ones. As the night sky
:23:39. > :23:41.lights up, there will be plenty of ooohs and aaahs, but how exactly do
:23:41. > :23:51.fireworks work? Mike Cartwright asked an expert. Looking up, there
:23:51. > :23:52.
:23:52. > :23:56.will be plenty of this. But how do fireworks do what they do? Who
:23:56. > :24:00.better than a chemistry professor to tell us? This is gunpowder. Look
:24:00. > :24:07.what happens if I set fire to it in the open. This is one gram of
:24:07. > :24:12.gunpowder on a sheet. There is no bang, no explosion. This is exactly
:24:12. > :24:20.the same amount of gunpowder, but this time it has been put into at
:24:20. > :24:23.cardboard tube that has been wrapped up. Let us see what happens.
:24:23. > :24:28.When it started to burn, the pressure built up and that
:24:28. > :24:35.accelerated the rate of chemical reaction, which led to the
:24:35. > :24:43.explosion. And colour. This chemical burns red.
:24:43. > :24:46.What about the rest? For Orange, we use calcium, for yellow used sodium,
:24:46. > :24:56.for green we used barium, or blue we use copper. And to get that
:24:56. > :25:01.
:25:01. > :25:11.purple, you use copper and strontium. This is a crackle *.
:25:11. > :25:20.
:25:20. > :25:30.Each of these little specks will crackle when I liked them. -- Light.
:25:30. > :25:39.
:25:39. > :25:49.We thought there was going to be a bang. But there was not. Is it
:25:49. > :26:03.
:26:03. > :26:13.This evening it is mainly dry but we did have a lot of rain overnight.
:26:13. > :26:15.
:26:15. > :26:21.There has been over an inch of rain in places. Today's reign was quite
:26:21. > :26:31.heavy. There was some sunshine and a few isolated showers by late
:26:31. > :26:34.
:26:34. > :26:37.afternoon. Not much going on through the evening. There may be
:26:37. > :26:47.some mist and fog patches by the end of the night. Take care on the
:26:47. > :26:57.roads. There will be some rain around to more, particularly during
:26:57. > :27:03.
:27:03. > :27:06.the day. -- tomorrow. Everyone wants to know whether it will rain
:27:06. > :27:10.in the evening. The rain looks like it will become lighter and more
:27:10. > :27:20.patchy through the evening. There may be a little drizzle left in the
:27:20. > :27:21.
