:00:10. > :00:17.Tonight, this eight day-old baby is in intensive care after an

:00:17. > :00:21.ambulance took nearly two hours to arrive. Also, the latest on their

:00:21. > :00:26.troubled nursing home in Harlow. Now it has failed its 5th

:00:26. > :00:30.inspection in a year. Hundreds of jobs and a threat at two different

:00:30. > :00:40.printing companies. And congratulations to Team GB in the

:00:40. > :00:47.

:00:47. > :00:51.gymnastics. They have qualified for First, the eight-day old baby who

:00:51. > :00:55.is fighting for his life after his mother had to wait for an ambulance

:00:56. > :01:01.for nearly two hours. Sarah Jenkins was expecting a perfectly normal

:01:01. > :01:04.birth at a birthing unit in Braintree. But soon, midwives

:01:04. > :01:08.decided Sarah would need a Caesarean birth in hospital, a

:01:08. > :01:14.journey of 20 minutes. But there was no ambulance to take her.

:01:14. > :01:20.Before one arrived, baby Riley was born. It was a difficult birth. Our

:01:20. > :01:23.reporter is at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge now. I'm

:01:23. > :01:28.outside the hospital where for the last eight days a young couple have

:01:28. > :01:32.been holding vigil by the side of their baby son, who is very ill in

:01:32. > :01:35.intensive care. I understand they B Reilly has been making some

:01:35. > :01:39.progress today, but his family say they are prepared for anything to

:01:39. > :01:45.happen. Earlier, I spoke to his parents about how they were left

:01:45. > :01:50.waiting for an ambulance for nearly two hours. This is they be Riley.

:01:50. > :01:54.Eight days old and he may not survive. His parents blame the

:01:54. > :01:58.ambulance service. Close to the hospital today, the sound of sirens

:01:58. > :02:03.can be heard. A sound this couple would have welcomed eight days ago.

:02:03. > :02:09.It may have come too late. For it is frustrating not being able to do

:02:09. > :02:14.anything for your newborn that that is lying there. It is frustrating

:02:14. > :02:17.more than anything. You are angry. Sarah Jenkins was in labour at St

:02:17. > :02:22.Michael's Hospital in Braintree. Midwives noticed complications and

:02:22. > :02:26.found the baby was becoming distressed. At three minutes past

:02:26. > :02:32.eight they called on ambulance to transport her tinea Pied Broomfield

:02:32. > :02:38.Hospital, just 20 minutes away. At 8:20pm they called again. Still no

:02:38. > :02:45.ambulance. The ambulance finally arrived at 9:45pm. Baby Riley was

:02:45. > :02:48.born at 10pm. What was going wrong at Broomfield that there were no

:02:48. > :02:53.ambulances therefore our emergency, our little boy. We just wanted to

:02:53. > :03:00.get from Braintree to Chelmsford. We can't understand why it took so

:03:00. > :03:05.long. Eight days on, the extent of the trauma isn't clear. Reilly has

:03:05. > :03:10.had an MRI scan to check for brain damage. But today, for the first

:03:10. > :03:14.time, he opened his eyes and Sarah was able to hold him. Just to have

:03:14. > :03:18.him in your arms, it makes you feel like you Ra Mahmod. I know that

:03:18. > :03:22.sounds silly bet you asked did over this baby and watching him, you

:03:22. > :03:28.can't do anything. We couldn't touch him would do anything. Today

:03:28. > :03:33.I got to see what his eyes look like for the first time. Sarah

:03:33. > :03:36.Jenkins speaking to me earlier. Serran maintains that when the

:03:36. > :03:42.ambulance crew finally turned up, they told her they'd taken so long

:03:42. > :03:44.because they'd come from Norwich. We've spoken to the East Ambulance

:03:44. > :03:47.Service and that is something they dispute, saying the ambulance was

:03:47. > :03:53.dispatched from somewhere else in Essex. They also add they've

:03:53. > :03:57.launched a full investigation which is ongoing. There will also be an

:03:57. > :04:02.external independent review because of the seriousness of this case.

:04:02. > :04:06.They add their thoughts are with the family at this critical time.

:04:06. > :04:10.We only know about that case because the family sent us an e-

:04:10. > :04:15.mail. If you have something you think we should investigate, you

:04:15. > :04:18.can phone, e-mail or contact as through Facebook. A troubled

:04:18. > :04:24.nursing home in Essex is now failing patients in all five basic

:04:24. > :04:27.standards of care, according to a new report. Two days ago, a BBC

:04:27. > :04:32.investigation revealed a catalogue of problems at the Partridge Care

:04:32. > :04:35.Centre in Harlow. The Partridge Care Centre came

:04:35. > :04:41.under major scrutiny last August, when two elderly residents died

:04:41. > :04:44.after being taken to hospital with diabetes related problems. Police

:04:44. > :04:48.found no evidence of criminality. After speaking to current and

:04:48. > :04:53.former staff, as well as relatives of residents at the home, BBC Essex

:04:53. > :04:58.and Cavaday litany of problems that go back months earlier. From night

:04:58. > :05:03.staff asleep on duty, to money being stolen and one report of a

:05:03. > :05:08.resident being found on a mattress smeared in faeces. The local MP

:05:08. > :05:11.raised the issue in Parliament this week. Will the Health Minister

:05:11. > :05:13.urged the Care Quality Commission to step in now with an inquiry and

:05:13. > :05:18.take whatever legal action is necessary to protect the elderly

:05:18. > :05:22.residents, and will the Minister meet with me and my constituent,

:05:22. > :05:26.Lesley Bircham, who has had her relative suffer from what has been

:05:26. > :05:32.going on in the care home? Her I share the concern the Honourable

:05:32. > :05:36.Gentleman has outlined. It is a cause for concern. This government

:05:36. > :05:40.is determined to shine a light on abuse wherever it is to be found,

:05:40. > :05:44.to root it out of the system, to make sure that people are treated

:05:44. > :05:47.with dignity and respect and to get the care they need. The Care

:05:47. > :05:51.Quality Commission Today published its latest report into the nursing

:05:51. > :05:56.home. It sets out of the five basic care standards, from treating

:05:56. > :06:01.people with respect to staffing and management. 11 months ago the

:06:01. > :06:05.Partridge Care Centre failed three. In November, Three Crosses became a

:06:05. > :06:09.four, and to Dave it says the home needs to improve right across the

:06:09. > :06:15.board. But headlines can be misleading because within these

:06:15. > :06:18.five basic care standards there are 16 essential standards. Partridge

:06:19. > :06:24.Care Centre in its defence has improved on these. In September,

:06:24. > :06:29.the CQC had seven Major or moderate concerns. In November, that was

:06:29. > :06:33.down to two. This month, it outlined just two moderate concerns.

:06:33. > :06:37.The CQC says there are several minor issues which need to be

:06:37. > :06:41.addressed. The centre's owners, Rushcliffe Care Group, says it has

:06:41. > :06:46.made a series of major changes within the home and that additional

:06:46. > :06:51.training has been provided. Tonight the company is still under scrutiny.

:06:51. > :06:54.We've heard from many of you with loved ones at the home. Some of you

:06:54. > :07:00.are unhappy but others say staff are very dedicated and that care is

:07:00. > :07:03.good. We will have all your stories tomorrow night. More than 400 jobs

:07:03. > :07:08.and the printing industry are under threat tonight at two different

:07:08. > :07:14.companies in Essex. Unions say that over 300 could go at Polestar, in

:07:14. > :07:18.Colchester, and 86 jobs are under threat at Heybridge, near Maldon.

:07:18. > :07:22.These are bleak times for the print industry. They produced top

:07:22. > :07:27.magazine titles here, but for how much longer? Polestar was bought by

:07:27. > :07:32.an American company nine months ago. Now it is planning to shut the

:07:32. > :07:37.Colchester site. Over 300 jobs are under threat, 151 of them direct

:07:37. > :07:46.employees of Polestar. The market in an advertising revenue has been

:07:46. > :07:50.in huge decline. These magazines and newspapers, they relied almost

:07:50. > :07:53.completely for their profitability on advertising revenue. Polestar

:07:53. > :07:57.declined to be interviewed today, but it told us its decision is

:07:57. > :08:01.based on a number of factors. The rising costs of energy and raw

:08:01. > :08:05.materials, and the fact that magazine's sales are in decline. It

:08:05. > :08:09.is the latest blow to an industry which has been in decline for years.

:08:09. > :08:15.In 2006, hundreds lost their jobs when a long-established firm Jarrow

:08:15. > :08:19.shut its works in Norwich. In January 2009, Wyndham Heron could

:08:19. > :08:24.163 jobs at Heybridge in Essex. The same company has just announced

:08:24. > :08:29.plans for a further 86 job losses. The Colchester MP, Sir Bob Russell,

:08:29. > :08:33.has now asked the Business Secretary, Vince Cable, to

:08:33. > :08:37.investigate Polestar's proposals. This is a national company under

:08:37. > :08:40.new ownership in relatively recent times. I am hoping this is a

:08:40. > :08:43.national overview of all their plans and they will come to the

:08:43. > :08:48.conclusion that the one in Colchester, with a skilled, loyal

:08:48. > :08:52.workforce, should not close. In 90 day consultation with staff and

:08:52. > :09:00.unions is under way. After which, Polestar will decide whether to go

:09:00. > :09:03.ahead and close the site. Our Business correspondent is here. How

:09:03. > :09:08.serious is the decline? Printing is a big industry and our region, it

:09:08. > :09:11.has been for more than a century. But it is in decline. 10 years ago

:09:11. > :09:16.there were more than 20,000 people working in printing in the east.

:09:16. > :09:22.Now that is about 13,000. The sector has been shaken up by new

:09:22. > :09:26.media, the internet, e-mail, Kimble, iPad. If you look at something like

:09:26. > :09:30.the magazine sector, DS, magazines are still physically printed, but

:09:30. > :09:33.more and more people are choosing to consume that media electronic to

:09:33. > :09:39.rather than buying a copy. So companies like Polestar are having

:09:39. > :09:44.to work off a shorter print runs, so their income is down at their

:09:44. > :09:47.costs are going up. Does printing have a future at all? Yes. I think

:09:47. > :09:51.those companies that survive will be those that combine print and the

:09:51. > :09:56.internet. They can bring them together so that the print and new

:09:56. > :10:00.media work side-by-side. It's not easy but it can be done. It has

:10:00. > :10:04.been confirmed that 400 new biotech jobs will be created in

:10:04. > :10:07.Cambridgeshire. Planning permission to build Orr new research buildings

:10:07. > :10:12.at the Babraham Institute has been granted. Last year the government

:10:12. > :10:17.announced it would invest �44 million in the research campus.

:10:17. > :10:27.Still to come, a man who has lost 40 stone. And in gymnastics, Team

:10:27. > :10:30.

:10:30. > :10:34.The eight year-old boys who have admitted throwing rocks at cars

:10:34. > :10:38.will be shown pictures of the damage as punishment. The rocks

:10:38. > :10:44.were thrown at cars, a lorry and ambulance on the A 14 at Trimley St

:10:44. > :10:48.Mary in Suffolk. They are too young to be prosecuted. Signs placed at

:10:48. > :10:52.bridges police have been watching in the last month. It is part of

:10:52. > :10:56.their investigation to find out who has been throwing rocks at vehicles.

:10:56. > :11:01.They now know that two 8 year macro boys are responsible for some of

:11:01. > :11:05.the damage caused. It was that the barriers behind me hear whether

:11:05. > :11:10.boys threw rocks at vehicles coming past. A damaged a total of 13 from

:11:10. > :11:14.here, including an ambulance. It is not an easy area to get to. You

:11:14. > :11:17.have to come down a dark country lane and the spot is quite well

:11:17. > :11:21.hidden, so most of us coming past that might in the dark wouldn't

:11:21. > :11:25.have had any chance of avoiding rocks being thrown at them. Some

:11:25. > :11:31.were the size of rugby balls. But the boys are too young to be

:11:31. > :11:36.prosecuted. We automatically refer children who have witnessed

:11:36. > :11:38.criminal acts or been involved in them to other agencies. It is fair

:11:38. > :11:42.to say they knew what they were doing, it was something wrong.

:11:43. > :11:47.Whether they understood the full implications of what they were

:11:47. > :11:52.doing is another matter. People living nearby can't believe who has

:11:52. > :11:56.now been caught. It is quite shocking when you think about

:11:56. > :12:00.children not realising the consequences of their actions and

:12:00. > :12:03.the damage possible, the serious injury that they could cause. It is

:12:03. > :12:08.very shocking as a mammal. surprised that the parents aren't

:12:08. > :12:12.totally ashamed. He would let their children out to do such devastating

:12:12. > :12:22.things? The police investigation will now turn to other rock

:12:22. > :12:26.A man who posted a message on Facebook, falsely accusing enable

:12:26. > :12:30.of being the Kellock of James Bulger, has been spared a prison

:12:30. > :12:34.sentence. Spencer Payne, who lives in Dedham on the border between

:12:34. > :12:40.Essex and Suffolk, said Robert Thomson, one of the two child

:12:40. > :12:43.killers, was living in the flat upstairs. Spencer Payne arriving at

:12:52. > :12:56.parking in the road where he lives in Dedham, he posted, convicted

:12:56. > :13:01.paedophile Robert Thomson is living in hiding with his wife and baby in

:13:01. > :13:06.the flat upstairs. Magistrates were told the message could have had

:13:06. > :13:11.catastrophic consequences. Back in 1993, James Bulger was abducted and

:13:11. > :13:15.murdered by Robert Thompson and Jon Venables. A statement from the

:13:15. > :13:20.neighbour was read to the court. In it, he said, I was totally shocked

:13:20. > :13:25.and devastated. I was really scared for the safety of myself and my

:13:25. > :13:29.family. He said he was worried about being attacked or even shot

:13:29. > :13:37.by vigilantes. Magistrates were told an off-duty police officer

:13:37. > :13:41.spotted the message and it was removed within 24 hours. Spencer

:13:41. > :13:46.pain walk free because his 12 week jail sentence was suspended for a

:13:46. > :13:49.year. Tonight, his neighbour, who didn't want to be named, told the

:13:49. > :13:56.programme he is still devastated he was wrongly accused of being a

:14:02. > :14:05.need for broadband in Norfolk. People will be asked to register

:14:05. > :14:11.their interest in receiving a better service. The county council

:14:11. > :14:15.is planning on spending �16 million on improving broadband. 60 % have

:14:15. > :14:25.not got super-fast broadband, and some do not have any coverage for

:14:25. > :14:27.

:14:27. > :14:29.broadband. This will allow for coverage across Norfolk. Our aim is

:14:29. > :14:33.to deliver a super-fast broadband for as much of the region as

:14:33. > :14:39.possible. As revealed in November, the Olympic mountain-biking course

:14:39. > :14:43.at Hadleigh will be adapted for public use after the Games. Essex

:14:43. > :14:46.County Council confirmed today it has been working with aplenty --

:15:38. > :15:45.right now. Greg Harlow is hoping to retain his world title. Is it good

:15:45. > :15:51.to be back? Absolutely. The arena is already. It sends a tingle down

:15:51. > :16:01.the spine. I have a tingle just being here. I am a complete

:16:01. > :16:05.beginner, what are you three top tips? First, the size of the ball.

:16:05. > :16:15.This is the correct size. Place it in your hands so it feels nice and

:16:15. > :16:24.

:16:24. > :16:34.comfortable. Stepped forward and That is an excellent first effort.

:16:34. > :16:37.

:16:37. > :16:47.Look at this for a first effort. People will not believe it. I am

:16:47. > :16:52.

:16:52. > :16:58.under pressure to be that. I have only just be that. I must admit you

:16:58. > :17:03.will definitely make a player. You did win the championships. What

:17:03. > :17:12.a great celebration it was that day. What was it like? It was obviously

:17:12. > :17:19.a lifelong ambition. I lost the before to my good friend Mervyn

:17:49. > :17:52.We could be facing one of the worst Januarys of people struggling with

:17:52. > :17:58.debt after Christmas. The Citizens Advice Bureau says the number of

:17:58. > :18:01.people wanting their help is rising steadily. This special report

:18:01. > :18:06.starts with a woman from Cambridgeshire who has already run

:18:06. > :18:11.out of credit. I decided to go back up because I did not want to keep

:18:11. > :18:18.worrying about people coming to my door, debt collectors, especially

:18:18. > :18:22.here by myself. This mother could be homeless in less than a month.

:18:22. > :18:27.She has already had the family home repossessed after splitting up with

:18:27. > :18:32.her husband. Even though she is working full-time, a credit rating

:18:32. > :18:36.is so poor she cannot get other rented accommodation. I did not

:18:36. > :18:46.realise how much it would affect me at the time. I did it because I did

:18:46. > :18:48.

:18:48. > :18:58.not have a choice. I was on a part- time wage of �7,000. I had �40,000

:18:58. > :19:00.

:19:00. > :19:04.worth of debt. People facing severe debt are turning to loan sharks.

:19:04. > :19:08.The national force try to shut them down has identified the people who

:19:08. > :19:16.are at risk. They can be paying loans off in 15 or 16 years time.

:19:16. > :19:25.They cannot be taken to court because they are acting illegally

:19:25. > :19:29.so the use intimidation. Latest figures show that debt was a major

:19:29. > :19:38.issue for the Citizens Advice Bureau. It had to 0.3 million

:19:39. > :19:43.requests for help over debt With debt, one of the things we see

:19:43. > :19:50.is the pressure of debt. The creditors are on to them. They face

:19:50. > :19:56.extra charges, bank charges, it gets bigger and bigger. That sense

:19:56. > :20:03.of desperation, that the more you need it the more desperation grows,

:20:04. > :20:09.that is serious. She accepts that not everyone will have sympathy for

:20:09. > :20:13.her but she says others will find themselves in this situation.

:20:13. > :20:19.It is more than two years since Paul Mason was branded the world's

:20:19. > :20:24.that his man on the front page of the Sun newspaper. He was 70 stone,

:20:24. > :20:31.but these days things are different. He has lost 40 stone and says his

:20:31. > :20:37.life has changed forever. Two years ago, Paul Mason had gastric bypass

:20:37. > :20:41.surgery which saved his life. He was 70 stone, and for nearly a

:20:41. > :20:48.decade was a prisoner in his own home. He would eat all day every

:20:48. > :20:57.day, takeaways, chocolate, crisps, and he could hardly move. Today, he

:20:57. > :21:02.is a changed man. He has lost 40 stone, and now requires an

:21:02. > :21:05.operation to remove excess skin. You need to do it yourself, there

:21:06. > :21:12.is no good having the operation and thinking that will change

:21:12. > :21:18.everything. You need change your lifestyle. NHS Suffolk have said

:21:18. > :21:25.they will not fund is next operation until his weight

:21:25. > :21:29.stabilises. But he is deaf run -- desperate to have the excess skin

:21:29. > :21:37.removed. This is a photo of Paul Mason before he started to gain

:21:37. > :21:47.weight. He is fed up of being judged. I get called names. Usually

:21:47. > :21:48.

:21:48. > :21:56.they call me bad names. Fat git. Fat so-and-so. Swear words. It has

:21:56. > :21:59.been very hurtful? Of course it has. Paul Mason wants to help other

:21:59. > :22:03.people with serious weight problems and did a phone-in with Radio
