have been accessing his mobile telephone illegally, a claim which | :00:04. | :00:10. | |
is now being investigated. Derek Webb has worked undercover | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
for years, first as a detective with Hertfordshire Police and then | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
for the News of the World as a private investigator. He followed | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
Charles Clarke and Tom Watson. 15 months ago, he complained to Thames | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
Valley police, claiming they had tapped his phone after he was | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
arrested by officers following a voicemail message they found. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
would like to know how they obtained my voicemail message when | :00:38. | :00:46. | |
they did not have possession of my phone. There were only two options: | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
One is official intercept information, the second is that | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
Thames Valley Police illegally hacked my phone. | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
Her voice mail contained false allegations claiming that he was | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
linked to police corruption. He and a serving police officer from | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Hertfordshire were arrested but the case was eventually dropped. Had | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
the police obtained a law for warrant, they would have been | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
strict -- restricted to use the boys will information for | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
intelligence gathering on it. They could not use it as grounds to | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
arrest. Documents obtained by the BBC show that police contacted | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
Orange to run a check. Detectives listened to the voicemail a month | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
before the arrest. As yet, I have still not heard a coherent answer | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
as to how the voice mail was accessed in the first place in any | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
legal fashion. We know, with the allegations about four hacking that | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
a writ large across the media at the moment, -- phone hacking, I | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
thought that Thames Valley would have come back with more convincing | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
information. Two claims were upheld about | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
retention of property, but not the one about phone hacking. They | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
:02:15. | :02:17. | ||
Derek Webb says the order was signed by a judge five days after | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
police had obtained the information. The order should have been obtained | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
in advance. A former police officer has told me that he is aware of a | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
number of cases in which police officers have hacked telephones. It | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
was not just journalists who were doing it, he said, there were | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
police officers, too. They saw it as a shortcut in investigating some | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
cases. There is no clear evidence that that is what Thames Valley | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
police did. It leaves questions unanswered. How did they get the | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
voicemail? In a statement, Thames Valley | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
police said that the telephone was confiscated on arrest as part of | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
criminal investigation. They said they did not unlawfully access his | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
telephone. The cases being investigated. | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
Prison staff could take the unusual step of suing an inmate after he | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
attacked three of them with a broken bottle. Kevan Thakrar is | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
currently serving life for three murders in Bishop's Stortford in | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
Hertfordshire four years ago. Prison officers say that they need | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
more protection against violent prisoners. | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
Kevan Thakrar runs his brother entered this House armed with a | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
sub-machine gun. They shot dead a father and his 17-year-old son, and | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
one of their friends. They repeatedly stabbed his goal friend | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
in front of their three-year-old daughter and another man's mother. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Kevan Thakrar was only three years into a life sentence when he lashed | :03:58. | :04:07. | |
:04:08. | :04:08. | ||
out violently again, attacking his guards. All of them went to | :04:08. | :04:17. | |
restrain him. When I went to help he stabbed me as quick as that. I | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
knew straight away he had hit my artery. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
His wife, then his fiancee, was working in the prison treatment | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
room. It sounded like a tap running, the blood hitting the floor. We | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
were looking at each other and I was trying to keep him conscious | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
and talking. I cannot articulate what inexperienced was. It was | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
terrific and I thought, "This is it, this is the end." Kevan Thakrar | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
claimed that he struck out after ill-treatment and racist abuse. | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
He also said he was suffering from post-traumatic distress -- for | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
post-traumatic stress disorder after previous periods in prison. | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
He said that staff had ignored his needs. He also complained to the | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
Prison Ombudsman. Despite the attack being filmed on CCTV the | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
jury found him not guilty. The Prison Officers' Association said | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
it gave the green light to inmates. People do not understand what goes | :05:20. | :05:29. | |
:05:30. | :05:32. | ||
on behind those walls. They do not realise that the our housing some | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
of the most dangerous people in the country. | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Two of the three guards attack that might have been unable to return to | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
work. Craig has been left permanently disabled and in pain. | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
Lots more to come, including a heartbreaking end to the big rugby | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
match this weekend. Barney Harwood from Blue Peter is | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
our guest reported tonight. He has been to Addenbrooke's Hospital to | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
find out how Children In Need is helping young cancer patients. | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
And after a dull and cloudy day, I will be here to tell you whether | :06:03. | :06:12. | |
the sun will come out tomorrow. Cancer sufferers in parts of Essex | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
are making legal history by taking court action to get better access | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
to treatment. A patients in the area around Chelmsford have to | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
travel to Colchester for daily radiotherapy treatment. Some | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
believe that is unfair and they want a judicial review. | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
Pain relief for Alison, diagnosed with breast cancer in 2,000 a date. | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
She now has secondary tumours in her spine. She has had to make | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
daily 40 mile round trips to Colchester for radiotherapy. I was | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
tired and frightened. The thought of going up that road every day, | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
close to Christmas on a very busy stretch of a very busy road, it was | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
very difficult. She was going to the Essex County Hospital in | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
Colchester. Southend General also does radiotherapy but there is nor | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
radiotherapy centre here at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford. | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
That means patients who are very ill from this part of the county | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
have to travel elsewhere for their treatment. Now judges at the High | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
Court could be asked to look into the decision made by four Primary | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Care Trusts in Essex not to have radiotherapy treatment in | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
Chelmsford. These are people often who have had surgery followed by | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
chemotherapy, and they are really ill. To have to go by public | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
transport, which may take a couple of hours, or patient transport, | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
which will take hours, it is impossible for some of these people. | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
The health trusts say that not having radiotherapy treatment in | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Chelmsford means the centres in Colchester and Southend will be | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
bigger and better. A court has heard how or woman was | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
stabbed more than 50 times in her own home. Tina Bennett from | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
Braintree was allegedly attacked by Howard Livings, a friend of her | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
nephew, on Easter Sunday. He has gone on trial for murder at | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
Chelmsford Crown Court. Her body was found by her sister. | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
Two more people have been arrested after last month's disturbances at | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
the Dale Farm traveller site in Essex. It takes the total number of | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
arrests to 43. Nearly all of the bailiffs have left the site today. | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
Most of the hardstanding at the legal site has been cleared. | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
Two children are in hospital with botulism after eating Lloyd | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
Grossman Korma Sauce, which is produced in Suffolk. It is made by | :08:41. | :08:51. | |
Premier Foods in Bury St Edmunds. This is a particularly nasty form | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
of food poisoning. The symptoms include vomiting, blindness and | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
sometimes death. The two children who were poisoned or bought from | :09:00. | :09:10. | |
the same family. They are being treated in Scotland. The sauces are | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
endorsed by Loyd Grossman and they bear his name. The sauce has been | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
recalled from the shop for -- the shops. | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
The toxin, the poison, was actually founded in a discarded jar and in | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
the lid of a jar that were in two different bins. We are satisfied | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
they were not contaminated after the event. | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
Premier Foods have told us that this incident relates to a single | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
jar of the sauce. They say they are working urgently with the Ford -- | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
the authorities to investigate the cause. Loyd Grossman is said to be | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
devastated. His agency, we cannot explain how this could have | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
happened. Botulism should have been killed in the cooking process. The | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
good thing is that the condition of the two children is said to be | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
stable and improving. In football, all of our Essex sides | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
are still in the FA Cup after the weekend. Ipswich Town have | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
announced that they have made a profit. | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
A rare thing these days - football clubs making money. Ipswich | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
announced pre-tax profits of �136,000 for the past 12 months. | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
Compare that to the year before when they made a loss of �14 | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
million. That followed losses of 12.5 million in 2009. How have they | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
done it? It is largely due to player trading - in nearly �11 | :10:41. | :10:49. | |
million profit, boosted by the sale of Connor Wickham and Jon Walters. | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
Fans would have hoped this would lead to a profit greater than | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
136,000. The problem is that the club made an operating loss of | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
�10.7 million. Where is it all going? Playing and coaching staff | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
costs have risen to almost �14 million. The overall staff costs | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
are just over �17 million, a whopping 99% of turnover. Turnover | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
is up by 10% to �17.2 million because of enhanced solidarity | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
payments from the Premier League. Town's run to the Carling Cup has | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
helped. The club's debt has risen by name million from 57 million a | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
year ago to �66 million now. That is basically because the owner, | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
Mark is Evans, keeps putting money into keep the club afloat while | :11:39. | :11:48. | |
chasing their Premier League teams. The chairman of the Ipswich Town | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
Independent Supporters Trust says that these results are a worry. | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
is quite concerning when it is reported as a profit, when really, | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
if we had not sold two players at a high price, we would have posted a | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
�10 million loss. It is concerning, with the debt continuing to grow. | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
There are areas of concern. I think the club is or cave while Marcus | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
Evans is there. The big concerned is whether his patience will run | :12:23. | :12:33. | |
:12:33. | :12:41. | ||
out. He is a round-up from the weekend. | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
Non-league Chelmsford grab the headlines. They beat Telford to | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
reach the second round. Aidan Harlow but the Essex club ahead | :12:52. | :13:02. | |
:13:02. | :13:05. | ||
after 11 minutes. Craig Parker doubled the lead. A great team | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
performance, we could not have asked for more. The atmosphere | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
after words was absolutely fantastic. It is great to be a part | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
of it. Not a dream start for Charles de, | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
they went 1-0 down early on. Lloyd James levelled the scoring with a | :13:27. | :13:37. | |
35 yards strike. Andy Bond got one. James got his second in stoppage | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
time. Southend earned themselves a replay with Preston, but only just | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
as Barry Nicholson missed a first- half penalty. It ended in a goal | :13:49. | :13:58. | |
:13:59. | :13:59. | ||
was draw. -- ago almost draw. | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
Much more on the BBC's Board website. BBC Radio Suffolk has much | :14:04. | :14:12. | |
more on Ipswich town's annual report. -- the BBC sports website. | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
You are watching BBC Look East. Coming up: How you can make a | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
difference. Unemployment figures out this week | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
and expected to show another rise in the number of young people out | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
of work. Nationally the total could bowl above one million for 16 to | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
24-year-olds. Today Ed Miliband said it was vital to kick-start the | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
economy. He wants to encourage more people -- young people into work. | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
The comments came as he visited Silicon Fen, a hi-tech area around | :14:46. | :14:56. | |
:14:56. | :15:06. | ||
Now there are 300 employers and hundreds more in spin-off companies. | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
The tenanted lies behind products in areas ranging from | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
communications to pharmaceuticals. It has an annual turnover of �40 | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
million. He said his visit was inspiring, but I asked him if it | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
was all about politics. It was about economics and how we create | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
good jobs and the future. I know there is a huge amount of ingenuity | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
and talent in our country and in this region. But it is not being | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
properly used. We need big reforms and changes in the way the banks | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
work, the Government's work and the school's work. We need to create | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
jobs for the future because we cannot go to the old economy that | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
we had before the financial crunch. We need a different economy and | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
that is what today has been about. Next there was a question-and- | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
answer session in front of business leaders. Ranging from tuition fees, | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
house shortages and the need for more apprentices. With so much | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
gloom, some remain upbeat. Ever since the credit crunch there has | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
been interest in eastern England, Cambridge. We are creating growth | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
and prosperity, and there is an interest in how you do that. If we | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
can transfer it it can only help us. There is an interest in the | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
balancing the economy towards technology. As it was once said "be | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
it is the economy, stupid." and issued too important to be left at | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
Westminster. If you are a professional sports | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
man or woman, you may not like it, but you know sometimes you have to | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
lose. But sometimes it's harder than others. Like for Northampton | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
Saints on Saturday, just moments from victory, when everything | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
changed. Yes, the Saints were within a whisker of recording their | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
first victory at the daunting Thomand Park stadium in Limerick, | :17:06. | :17:16. | |
:17:16. | :17:36. | ||
home of Irish side Munster. The they are a bit worried, the | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
local people are quite worried. They very well made at this time. | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
There is a buzz around the town, hopefully we can keep the locals | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
quiet. This is one of the most intimidating places to play. Home | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
to 26,000 voices. If Northampton can storm this fortress they will | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
send out quite a message. The fans were ready for a night of high | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
drama. Munster took the initiative with a pushover try, then at the | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
response, a try of real quality. Back came Munster, splitting the | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
Saints' defence to give the home side a half-time lead. James | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
Downey's try restoring the is Saints' advantage, but the | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
conversion was missed. Then, a knock on with the line at his mercy. | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
Refereeing decisions did not help. But what followed will remain long | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
in the memory. The clock dead, Munster going through 41 phases of | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
play. Not the tidiest or prettiest but the soccer -- sucker-punch was | :18:48. | :18:58. | |
:18:58. | :19:03. | ||
brutal. Shattering Saints's dream. What a finish! It will take some | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
time to get over that. It was a great contest, we knew it would be | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
tough and close and so it proved. It was very frustrating, when you | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
go close but come out on the losing side. Once again they suffer in an | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
epic European contest. However the crucial away bonus point may prove | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
critical in their European campaign. The countdown gets underway tonight | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
for this week's Children In Need. As always, we like to let you know | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
how your donations from last year have been put to use. Tonight the | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
Blue Peter presenter Barney Harwood has been to Addenbrookes Hospital | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
in Cambridge, to meet some of the children there who have been helped | :19:42. | :19:52. | |
:19:52. | :19:55. | ||
by you. Sophia is 12 and was diagnosed with | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
cancer just under a year ago. She has had several courses of | :19:59. | :20:08. | |
chemotherapy. Can you explain what it is like? The makes you lose your | :20:08. | :20:16. | |
hair. It makes you very weak. chemotherapy is designed to make | :20:16. | :20:26. | |
:20:26. | :20:26. | ||
you get better, but you have to get worse first. I don't like getting | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
thin. Eight year-old Charlie has been having treatment to. Nine | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
months ago he was diagnosed with a large gym and it took a nine-hour | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
operation to remove it, as well as regular visits to hospital. What is | :20:46. | :20:55. | |
:20:56. | :20:56. | ||
it like being in hospital? Okay, as long as I have my a games. They'd | :20:56. | :21:06. | |
:21:06. | :21:06. | ||
do chemotherapy. They try to clear it out. If not they have to do an | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
operation. To make time on the ward best afforded children, Trojan in | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
need are planning a charity running a project called "to get creative | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
on the ward". They travel to the hospital in this mobile than, with | :21:24. | :21:33. | |
a whole load of exciting media. You can make ringing tones, make a film, | :21:33. | :21:43. | |
:21:43. | :21:43. | ||

Tomorrow night, how children in Need is helping a young girl who | :22:05. | :22:14. | |

children in Need. At Braintree Town A mild start to November, a very | :22:34. | :22:42. | |
interesting year of weather. Look at this. The great British weather. | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
Not until recently it was seen entail fairly predictable. Cold and | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
the winter, warm in the summer. In the past year it has been more like | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
a climate roller coaster. Last winter with temperatures plummeting | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
to minus 18 degrees. Colder than Helsinki. The big freeze gripped | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
the east. There was travel chaos across the region in what was the | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
coldest winter in Britain for over 100 years. You can see that report | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
in full tonight on BBC 1 at 7:30pm. It has been a pretty dull day of | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
weather today. At the moment we have high pressure sitting out over | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
Scandinavia which is blocking the weather systems bring us wet | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
weather but subtle changes in wind direction have led to cloudy | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
conditions. This is the scene from earlier this afternoon on the | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
satellite chart. Lots of cloud feeding in from the North Sea | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
sitting over us today. Very dull sort of day and tonight it stays | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
pretty cloudy. The cloud is thick enough to produce the odd spot of | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
rain. Most places should get away with a dry night however, but some | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
mist patches occurring tonight. In terms of low temperatures, working | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
in cooler air, it could be cooler than recently. Further east it is | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
at eight or nine Celsius. At worst it could be six Celsius at lowest. | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
East to South Eastern wind, generally light in strength. | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
Tomorrow it brings a fairly dull start to the day but it will start | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
to get brighter later. Sun-Fri at Ayr tomorrow, but a bit of a misty | :24:31. | :24:41. | |
and murky start. -- a dry start tomorrow. Perhaps some sunshine if | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
we are lucky. Temperatures are not expected to climb higher than 11 | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
Celsius. In terms of wind, it still generally stays East. Generally | :24:54. | :25:02. | |
light, but around 40 miles per hour. Touching moderate in strength on | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
the coast. Staying dry, further brighter spells possible, and | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
generally a cold night on the way for tomorrow night. If we look at | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
the pressure chart, you can see the next thing which will happen is | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
that this weather system it will try to bring in wet weather. It | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
will not amount to much by the time they get to us but could turn | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
things cloudier. Mosley drive over the next five days, some cloud | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
around, but a light south-easterly wind. Temperatures above average, | :25:34. | :25:39. |
