:00:10. > :00:12.Hello. A teenager from Cambridgeshire who

:00:12. > :00:19.sparked an armed police operation has admitted making hundreds of

:00:19. > :00:23.malicious 999 calls over the Christmas holidays. A court was

:00:23. > :00:30.told she was putting the public in danger and could now face a prison

:00:30. > :00:34.sentence. Cambridgeshire police deemed Kerry

:00:34. > :00:39.Ann Moat's actions as a serious threat to public safety. She

:00:39. > :00:42.pleaded guilty to making 800 silent calls, a majority between Christmas

:00:42. > :00:45.Eve and Boxing Day. Her defence solicitor told the

:00:45. > :00:50.court she didn't know why she had done it. The prosecution explained

:00:50. > :00:52.how all of the 999 calls she had made were silent. When asked if she

:00:52. > :00:55.needed assistance there was no response. Police traced the number

:00:55. > :00:58.to Little Paxton. Further investigation traced it to Kerry

:00:58. > :01:03.Ann Moat's address. Firearms officers were sent to her address

:01:03. > :01:06.where her mobile phone and Sim card were seized. It was in a

:01:06. > :01:09.Cambridgeshire police control room where the calls were answered.

:01:09. > :01:13.Silent phone calls cannot immediately be discounted. Each had

:01:13. > :01:18.to be investigated. It causes massive problems in terms of taking

:01:18. > :01:22.the genuine 999 calls from members of the public who need our help.

:01:22. > :01:27.Every few seconds as quick as we could cut the call off, she was

:01:27. > :01:31.making further calls. The court was told Kerry Ann Moat's past included

:01:31. > :01:39.an allegation of abuse that was never brought to prosecution. She

:01:39. > :01:42.will be sentenced in February and was told prison could be an option.

:01:42. > :01:46.Two off-duty police officers are still seriously ill in hospital

:01:46. > :01:49.after they were injured with another officer in a car crash in

:01:49. > :01:54.Bedfordshire. The crash happened on the A6 between Luton and Streatley

:01:54. > :01:57.Two other cars were involved. A man who was arrested on suspicion of

:01:57. > :02:01.dangerous driving has been released on police bail.

:02:01. > :02:05.A 22-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman who were being questioned in

:02:05. > :02:08.connection with the death of a man who was found at his home near

:02:08. > :02:11.Cambridge have been released on police bail. 76-year-old Thomas

:02:11. > :02:17.Llewelyn was bludgeoned to death in Chittering in what the police

:02:17. > :02:20.believe was an attempted burglary. The Prime Minister is being urged

:02:20. > :02:24.to change the route of the Olympic torch when it goes through Essex

:02:24. > :02:34.next year. Councillors say the organisers have snubbed one of the

:02:34. > :02:34.

:02:34. > :02:38.most deprived parts of the country. The Olympic park at Stratford, but

:02:38. > :02:43.just 60 miles from the stadium there is a community some say

:02:43. > :02:47.desperately needs to share the hopes and dreams of London 2012.

:02:47. > :02:51.And this is it, near Clacton. Officially the most deprived

:02:51. > :02:56.neighbourhood in the country. The Olympic torch relay before the

:02:56. > :03:00.Games will not pass through here. In a letter to David Cameron the

:03:00. > :03:05.local council says the closest the torch comes to here is 13 miles, a

:03:05. > :03:12.world away, it says, for the people who live here. And the council says

:03:12. > :03:16.it is not just here. The 2012 torch relay misses out a whole district,

:03:16. > :03:21.including Harwich and Clacton. is bizarre that it has been missed

:03:21. > :03:26.off the list. It feels like a snob. Some believe that a visit from the

:03:26. > :03:31.torch relay would give the place a boost. It would give people a

:03:31. > :03:33.little bit of an uplifting. I think it would highlight the situation to

:03:33. > :03:40.other communities, to the Government, to other groups that

:03:40. > :03:43.could help. Lord Coe visited Essex in the summer to see where the 2012

:03:43. > :03:48.mountain-biking will be held. The Olympics organising committee told

:03:48. > :03:51.the BBC that the torch will get to within 10 miles of 95% of the

:03:51. > :03:55.population. People have been flocking to see

:03:55. > :03:59.the body of a sperm whale which was washed up on a beach in Norfolk.

:03:59. > :04:08.It's 55 feet long and was found dead on Christmas Eve. It is rare

:04:08. > :04:13.for sperm whales to venture into the shallow waters of the North Sea.

:04:13. > :04:16.It probably was a natural death. There is nothing to suggest that

:04:16. > :04:21.anything man-made caused its death. There is no sign of struggle on the

:04:21. > :04:24.beach, no sand has been displaced. It died at sea and washed up on to

:04:24. > :04:27.the beach. Nearly 3 million people in this

:04:27. > :04:30.country have been diagnosed with diabetes. It's thought another

:04:31. > :04:33.850,000 people have the condition but don't know. A two-year trial is

:04:33. > :04:37.now underway at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge to find out

:04:37. > :04:40.if insulin pumps which feed the drug directly into the body are

:04:40. > :04:43.more effective than daily injections.

:04:43. > :04:46.Diabetic Tom Cave has a daily routine. Before each meal he

:04:46. > :04:51.measures his blood sugar levels, then injects himself with the

:04:51. > :04:56.correct dose of insulin to ensure his body is functioning normally.

:04:56. > :05:01.For most people, the fear is, will it hurt. The answer is no. It is a

:05:01. > :05:05.tiny needle and a small amount of insulin. Kerry takes a different

:05:05. > :05:11.approach. She has an external pump attached to a tube inserted into

:05:11. > :05:16.her body. She increases or reduces the insulin flow according to her

:05:16. > :05:20.needs. I was worried about having something attached to me but you

:05:21. > :05:24.become very good at hiding it and it means I can be active in doing

:05:24. > :05:27.what I need to do with my family without being concerned about

:05:27. > :05:30.carrying any paraphernalia because it is always attached to me.

:05:30. > :05:33.Addenbrooke's Hospital they are starting a new trial to assess the

:05:33. > :05:38.effectiveness of both methods. The pump is more expensive and some

:05:38. > :05:41.medics want to know how patients cope with it. We know both

:05:41. > :05:44.therapies work. Is there an advantage in starting something as

:05:44. > :05:48.intensive as insulin pump therapy earlier, and should everyone go on

:05:48. > :05:51.a pump, because there is a cost implication. In this financial

:05:51. > :05:56.climate we cannot give everyone treatment if we are not sure it

:05:56. > :06:06.will benefit everyone. 1000 patients are taking part in the

:06:06. > :06:12.

:06:12. > :06:17.trial which will last two years. We have had shot showers across the

:06:17. > :06:21.region this afternoon. We can see a few of those drifting in from the

:06:21. > :06:25.north-west. Once they reach Suffolk, we have had reports of a few

:06:25. > :06:30.rumbles of thunder. Sharp showers around through the next couple of

:06:30. > :06:34.hours. Those will ease overnight, allowing for some clear spells. You

:06:34. > :06:38.can see some showers around at first but by midnight and through

:06:38. > :06:44.the early morning, plenty of clear sky across the region and patchy

:06:44. > :06:48.cloud. With clear skies, the potential for temperatures down to

:06:48. > :06:52.about three degrees Celsius, just low enough to give some ground

:06:52. > :06:57.frost in sheltered spots. But we have a moderate north-westerly

:06:57. > :07:01.nearer the coast. As we zoom out, tomorrow we can see the next

:07:01. > :07:05.weather system approaching from the Atlantic, a warm front. We start

:07:05. > :07:10.with bright spells in the east but the cloud thickening through the

:07:10. > :07:15.day, bringing outbreaks of rain into western parts of the region.

:07:15. > :07:21.Temperatures around six or seven degrees Celsius at 2pm, rising into

:07:21. > :07:25.the evening. You can see the rain becoming more widespread through

:07:25. > :07:29.Friday afternoon. Some heavy spells not out of the question, before

:07:29. > :07:33.clearing around midnight. The next weather system waiting in the wings

:07:33. > :07:38.for New Year's Eve could bring some rain late in the day. Saturday,

:07:38. > :07:44.drier first with some rain later. A heavy as Berlin to Sunday morning,

:07:44. > :07:48.which will clear a way and cooler weather into Monday. Blustery winds
