:00:12. > :00:16.In Look East tonight: An inquest hears how this woman died in a care
:00:16. > :00:19.home from pneumonia and bedsores. Hello and welcome to Look East.
:00:19. > :00:25.Also tonight: The need for more mortgages and more homes. How to
:00:25. > :00:29.kick start the housing market. A foggy journey to work for
:00:29. > :00:39.thousands: what can we expect tomorrow?
:00:39. > :00:44.
:00:44. > :00:46.And out of the wilderness... The Darkness.
:00:46. > :00:53.First tonight, claims that an elderly lady died from her bedsores
:00:53. > :00:56.after being neglected by staff in a care home. The family of Ana
:00:56. > :01:06.Dunmore claim that she was mistreated at the Old Vicarage home
:01:06. > :01:07.
:01:07. > :01:17.in Littleport. An inquest into her death opened today in Huntingdon.
:01:17. > :01:18.
:01:18. > :01:22.Away at Ana Dunmore was 74. She had dementia. It has found that she
:01:22. > :01:29.needed help eating and washing. The home said they could meet her needs.
:01:29. > :01:34.In the coming months, her condition worsened. The family want to know
:01:34. > :01:40.if they care also worsened. This photograph was taken pains -- days
:01:40. > :01:46.before she died. She had been moved from this care home. The inquest
:01:46. > :01:55.was told she had become immobile, static, spending most of her time
:01:55. > :02:01.in a chair. In June 2009, district nurses noticed pressure sores. She
:02:01. > :02:09.had to be turned at least every two hours. But this is what the records
:02:09. > :02:19.of the care home show. On 15th June, 2009, she was turned once in the
:02:19. > :02:19.
:02:19. > :02:25.evening. The next time was in the morning. From 18th June to the 27th,
:02:25. > :02:29.nine days, she was not turned at all. The man on the left was the
:02:29. > :02:38.assistant manager. When asked how this happened, he said he could not
:02:38. > :02:46.explain it. He said the management was responsible for monitoring. Ask
:02:46. > :02:53.why one member of staff only turn - - sometimes turned her instead of
:02:53. > :02:58.two, he said maybe only one man had signed the chart. Her transfer to a
:02:58. > :03:04.place of specialist care was delayed caused by its transport
:03:04. > :03:07.costs and different medical assessments.
:03:07. > :03:12.The Care Quality Commission have had concerns about this care home
:03:12. > :03:16.in the past. This inquest is about finding the facts. The family knew
:03:16. > :03:21.that she was coming to the end of for life. They knew she could not
:03:21. > :03:25.have been rehabilitated. They're trying to find out if her care was
:03:25. > :03:27.good enough in her final days. Plans for the government to
:03:27. > :03:33.underwrite mortgages for first-time buyers have been welcomed by
:03:33. > :03:36.charities and councils in the region. It comes as new figures
:03:37. > :03:44.reveal that the average deposit for a house here is more than twice the
:03:44. > :03:47.salary of most young people. Here's our Political Correspondent.
:03:47. > :03:50.In the last 24 hours, we've had two very interesting surveys. The first
:03:50. > :03:53.from the charity Shelter reveals that there are more than 15,000
:03:53. > :03:57.homeless people in the Eastern counties. That figure's almost
:03:57. > :04:01.doubled in the last two years. Meanwhile another survey has found
:04:01. > :04:08.that the average salary of person in their 20s here in the East is
:04:08. > :04:16.just under �15,000. The average deposit for a new home in the East,
:04:16. > :04:20.20%, is nearly �32,000. To save for a deposit over five years a young
:04:20. > :04:24.person would have to save �532 a month. Which would account for
:04:24. > :04:31.nearly all of their disposable income. That's why this initiative
:04:31. > :04:35.could make a big difference. Because there are thousands of
:04:35. > :04:42.people in the region like this couple from Stevenage. They both
:04:42. > :04:47.work full-time. They are trapped in private rented accommodation, which
:04:47. > :04:51.keeps increasing for. We are unable to buy because we pay so much money
:04:51. > :04:59.each month. We don't have a disposable income. We don't have
:04:59. > :05:05.the luxury of having money aside so we could build-up a deposit large
:05:05. > :05:09.enough to secure a property. There is still some house building going
:05:09. > :05:14.on. But in many places it has stalled due to lack of demand. That
:05:14. > :05:19.is why those who give approval to planning schemes have high hopes
:05:19. > :05:25.for the initiative today. 5,000 planning permissions have been
:05:25. > :05:31.granted in the region, but nothing is being built. They're ready to go.
:05:31. > :05:39.If this policy can increase demand, there is no reason why builders can
:05:39. > :05:42.start building. MPs say that housing is the one region --
:05:43. > :05:46.housing is the one issue that dominates the weekend surgeries.
:05:47. > :05:51.have been pushing the Government for a long time to recognise that
:05:52. > :05:58.housing is iconic and if we're not careful we will have a hold
:05:58. > :06:03.generation of people who rent houses. One in a home gives you a
:06:03. > :06:07.stake in your country. Labour have given a guarded welcome to the
:06:07. > :06:13.initiative. But they say the money on offer is far less than was put
:06:13. > :06:18.up by the last government. And, given the uncertainty of the
:06:18. > :06:22.economy, there is no guarantee that people will want to buy our home,
:06:22. > :06:25.even if it is being made a little easier for them.
:06:25. > :06:27.A few years ago, the old regional assembly estimated that our region
:06:27. > :06:31.would need another 784,000 homes over the next 20 years. This
:06:31. > :06:35.initiative will not ensure they're all built, but it might go a little
:06:36. > :06:38.way to helping. Scientists in Cambridge have begun
:06:38. > :06:47.collecting DNA from cancer patients as part of a ground breaking
:06:47. > :06:52.research project. Over two years,9,000 patients will have
:06:52. > :06:57.their DNA sampled. Their aim, more targeted treatment in the future.
:06:58. > :07:02.For months, this woman has been coming to Adam Briggs Hospital for
:07:02. > :07:05.chemotherapy. Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in April, she has
:07:05. > :07:12.almost finished her treatment. Now she is offering her DNA for
:07:12. > :07:20.research. I just want to help somebody else. I have been helped
:07:20. > :07:23.from past research. Extracting tumours cells in this laboratory,
:07:23. > :07:30.scientists believe it could revolutionise the way we treat
:07:30. > :07:34.cancer. Currently they look at issue structure before deciding
:07:34. > :07:43.treatment. On the left it is healthy. On the right, cancerous.
:07:43. > :07:48.By analysing DNA, scientists will be able to discover the significant
:07:48. > :07:53.faults with cells. By gathering the DNA of thousands of patients,
:07:53. > :07:57.scientists hope to get a point where it just a simple genetic test
:07:57. > :08:03.will identify the correct form of treatment. If they come with a
:08:03. > :08:08.particular cancer, we will be able to analyse the abdomen up -- the
:08:08. > :08:17.abnormalities that her present. On the basis of that, we can choose to
:08:18. > :08:21.medicines that will specifically help them. At present, we have
:08:21. > :08:28.medicines that help a large number of people, but not others. This
:08:28. > :08:31.could provide the beginnings of truly personalised cancer care.
:08:31. > :08:41.Later in the programme: Marsh Farm in Luton. A housing estate given
:08:41. > :08:44.
:08:44. > :08:46.�50 million in grants over ten The Government has been accused of
:08:46. > :08:53.double standards, by helping pay for the renovation of former MOD
:08:53. > :08:59.homes, while leaving nearby army houses in disrepair. The MP for the
:08:59. > :09:02.garrison town of Colchester says service families are being let down.
:09:02. > :09:09.The Ministry of Defence says it is spending millions on upgrading army
:09:09. > :09:14.accommodation. After 21 years as a soldier, this
:09:14. > :09:19.man has learned to take the rough with this move. His army house has
:09:19. > :09:26.been home to his family of five for two years. I don't think the house
:09:26. > :09:35.has been updated since the 1940s. But everything works, so no major
:09:35. > :09:41.complaints. I knocked on the doors of around a dozen soldiers. The
:09:41. > :09:45.kitchens were very outdated. But they say that for the reduced rent
:09:45. > :09:49.they are paying, things could be a lot worse. That said, many homes
:09:49. > :09:58.still owned by the MoD are in serious need of a make-over. Just
:09:58. > :10:02.yards away, former army houses have been rebuilt and rented out.
:10:02. > :10:05.Government has spent millions of pounds up grading and improving
:10:05. > :10:10.them. If the Government can do it on one side of the road, surely
:10:10. > :10:15.they should find the money on other side of the road for the families
:10:15. > :10:25.of other brave soldiers. The MoD says it is spending money on
:10:25. > :10:25.
:10:25. > :10:35.improvements. Why are the houses on one side so much nicer? The total
:10:35. > :10:36.
:10:36. > :10:44.build coast -- the total build cost is �20 million. The rent on the
:10:44. > :10:50.side is almost three times that of the army houses. It is a brand new
:10:50. > :10:54.property pitch we have never had before. The MoD says it will spend
:10:54. > :11:02.more on housing for service personnel when funds are available.
:11:02. > :11:05.When that will be is anyone's guess. The Bishop of Norwich has
:11:05. > :11:08.criticised government plans to cut the amount of benefit a family can
:11:08. > :11:12.receive. Graham James is one of 18 bishops to sign an open letter
:11:12. > :11:18.asking for the idea to be reconsidered.
:11:18. > :11:23.Opening a school. Part of the regular duties of a bishop. For the
:11:23. > :11:28.Bishop of Norwich, it does not end there. He is trying to stop
:11:28. > :11:31.government cutting benefits for families. It is easy for those of
:11:31. > :11:34.us who were employed to characterise those who are
:11:34. > :11:39.unemployed as if they are feckless. We are not all feckless by any
:11:39. > :11:43.manner of means. Many people are desperate for work and are finding
:11:43. > :11:48.it difficult to find a job. So far, his Commons haven't made much
:11:48. > :11:58.impact in Parliament for. Many people watching this programme will
:11:58. > :12:02.be earning �20,000, to ask them to pay tax for people to take home
:12:02. > :12:10.�30,000 and benefits, I think that is wrong and we must change it for.
:12:10. > :12:14.At this school, families were divided. There has to be a cap.
:12:14. > :12:20.Otherwise it will go on and on. There are jobs out there to be
:12:20. > :12:30.found. I think people take advantage. Some decide not to go to
:12:30. > :12:35.a work. Some people cannot work. It should be done fairly. Bishops hope
:12:35. > :12:38.this open letter will help Government think again. For now, it
:12:38. > :12:41.seems cuts to benefits are inevitable.
:12:41. > :12:43.Two young women are still in hospital with serious injuries
:12:43. > :12:47.following a crash on the A47. The accident happened at North
:12:47. > :12:50.Burlingham at the start of the month. One of the women is in

:13:07. > :13:10.Norwich manager, Paul Lambert, says his side will learn lessons after
:13:10. > :13:13.losing 2-1at home to Arsenal. The Canaries went ahead through this
:13:14. > :13:20.effort by Steve Morison. Defender Russell Martin was kept busy -
:13:20. > :13:27.making several impressive blocks off the line. But ultimately it was

:13:29. > :13:33.Ipswich Town's celebrations were short lived. A 3-2 defeat to

:21:55. > :21:56.
:21:56. > :21:59.weather story was this weekend - fog. It descended on many parts of
:21:59. > :22:03.the region, leading to delays and cancellations at some of our
:22:03. > :22:06.airports. Much of the region was shrouded early this morning. And
:22:06. > :22:15.driving conditions on many roads were hazardous. So why is it
:22:15. > :22:19.happening? Alex Dolan has this report. It is becoming something of
:22:19. > :22:24.a familiar pattern. We are waking up in the mornings to misty,
:22:24. > :22:31.perhaps body, conditions. We get to mid-morning and it is starting to
:22:31. > :22:37.lift and burn off. But should we be surprised? It is the season of
:22:37. > :22:43.mists, after all. The words of John Keats, whose poem about autumn was
:22:43. > :22:48.written almost two centuries at all. -- ago. Last year, after a mild
:22:48. > :22:52.start to November, temperatures plummeted. We were suddenly plunged
:22:52. > :22:56.into midwinter and the freezing conditions lingered for weeks.
:22:56. > :23:04.Early this morning, those autumn mists are enveloped much of the
:23:04. > :23:11.region. This was the scene on the A47 near Norwich and this, the A12
:23:11. > :23:15.near an Essex town. So, how does fog form? It starts with air
