:00:06. > :00:09.Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight:
:00:09. > :00:19.The manhunt for a violent prisoner who escaped from hospital with an
:00:19. > :00:20.
:00:20. > :00:24.who escaped from hospital with an armed accomplice. He made threats
:00:24. > :00:29.that they should release him immediately. A Gunn was pressed
:00:29. > :00:31.against his head. The Business Secretary Vince Cable
:00:31. > :00:34.on a new type of apprenticeship for young people.
:00:34. > :00:41.Police teams search a beach in the hunt for the killers of a Latvian
:00:41. > :00:44.teenager in Norfolk. And the Cambridgeshire village who
:00:44. > :00:54.says that they invented it she's so they should be allowed to use the
:00:54. > :00:54.
:00:54. > :00:57.name. -- at the end vented to the Hello. First, more on the manhunt
:00:57. > :01:00.for a violent prisoner who escaped from a hospital A&E department
:01:00. > :01:06.after an armed accomplice threatened prison guards with a gun.
:01:06. > :01:12.This is how it unfolded. At 6:50pm last night, Andrew Farndon arrived
:01:12. > :01:16.at the West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds. He had been driven
:01:17. > :01:21.12 miles from High Point Prison in a taxi with stab wounds. Hospital
:01:21. > :01:24.staff saw a man with a gun outside A&E and contacted police. The
:01:24. > :01:29.prison officers were threatened with a gun and released the
:01:29. > :01:32.prisoner. Farndon and the gunman ran down a footpath to the nearby
:01:32. > :01:38.Hardwick Heath car park and escaped. Let's go live to the hospital in
:01:38. > :01:46.Bury St Edmunds and our Home Affairs Correspondent.
:01:46. > :01:56.As you say, there is a nationwide manhunt tonight for Andrew Farndon.
:01:56. > :02:03.He is described as highly dangerous. He inflicted a hammer attack in
:02:03. > :02:09.2007. This escape appears to have been planned meticulously. He
:02:09. > :02:14.arranged his on stab wound which he knew would result in hospital. He
:02:14. > :02:21.was brought to this hospital in handcuffs. When they got out of a
:02:21. > :02:29.taxi, they faced the gunman. Having a firearm placed against your head
:02:29. > :02:33.is clearly very disturbing. But they have been able to give us some
:02:33. > :02:38.help in describing the gunmen. The gunman is described as a white male,
:02:38. > :02:45.aged in his forties, stocky build with short cropped hair and wearing
:02:45. > :02:50.dark clothing. He is believed to have a Scottish accent. At High
:02:50. > :02:57.Point Prison today, police have been searching every cell trying to
:02:57. > :03:02.get leaks. Back at his trial, Andrew Farndon and jumped the dock
:03:02. > :03:07.and fled the Crown Court. It was weeks before he was recaptured.
:03:07. > :03:13.This case raises a number of questions. Obviously, the risk
:03:13. > :03:22.assessment failed to identify certain threats and dangers of
:03:22. > :03:27.escape. But to save what has gone wrong, -- to say what has gone
:03:27. > :03:32.wrong, yes, more should have been done but that is with hindsight.
:03:32. > :03:37.One question could have been why was he deemed to be a low risk
:03:37. > :03:41.Category C prisoner? Police are also looking at other lines of
:03:41. > :03:46.inquiry. Did he use a mobile phone to compromise security and get out
:03:47. > :03:52.of the Prison? But the priority tonight is to get this man and back
:03:52. > :03:54.this up -- back behind bars where he belongs. Back to you in the
:03:54. > :03:57.studio. Earlier, I spoke to Dean Acaster
:03:57. > :04:00.from the Prison Officers Association. I started by asking
:04:00. > :04:06.him if he was concerned that an apparently dangerous man was being
:04:06. > :04:11.held in a category C prison. What we're saying is that there
:04:11. > :04:16.might be cases where people have been incorrectly categorised. This
:04:16. > :04:20.man obviously had the means to make an escape and has done so. There
:04:20. > :04:26.must be questions asked during the investigation process as to why
:04:26. > :04:30.this man was placed in Category C can editions. A lot of people
:04:30. > :04:35.believe a mobile phone was used in this is gate. How concerned are you
:04:35. > :04:40.about their availability in prison? The seem to be readily available in
:04:40. > :04:44.prison these days. They are an illegal ITEM to have in prison.
:04:44. > :04:53.Prisoners are running crime industries from inside prisons and
:04:53. > :04:57.apparently organising escape attempt as well. In prisons, the
:04:57. > :05:05.ability to search proficiently with the resources we currently have is
:05:05. > :05:09.being severely questioned by budget restraints and cuts. You're saying
:05:09. > :05:14.that because you don't have enough staff you cannot run the prison
:05:14. > :05:18.save the? When you keep cutting frontline operational staff, there
:05:18. > :05:24.will be implications that will affect the ability to maintain
:05:24. > :05:28.order and discipline, and to secure research establishments. It appears
:05:28. > :05:36.this man was being transported by taxi. Do you have concerns about
:05:36. > :05:43.that? Taxes are commonly used it to Escort category C prisoners. The
:05:43. > :05:47.situation is that the security category dictate that the method of
:05:47. > :05:51.transport. If he was in the wrong category of prison, he could have
:05:51. > :05:54.been transferred by taxi and no one would have raised an eyebrow, but
:05:54. > :06:00.if he had been in a higher category they would not have used attacks
:06:00. > :06:05.the? If he was Category A, the situation would have been a more
:06:05. > :06:10.secure. This man could have been in the most secure vehicle available,
:06:10. > :06:16.but at some point he has to be taken out of the vehicle and moved
:06:16. > :06:22.in the hospital grounds. That is where and when our staff become
:06:22. > :06:26.very vulnerable. How vulnerable to prison officers feel? Every day,
:06:26. > :06:32.they are faced with violent and extreme conditions. We need the
:06:32. > :06:36.support and the resources in place to be able to defend ourselves in
:06:36. > :06:39.these situations. Thank you very much.
:06:39. > :06:45.The Business Secretary Vince Cable has been in Northampton today to
:06:45. > :06:48.see a new way of employing young apprentices. In a moment, we'll be
:06:48. > :06:54.hearing from the Dr Cable himself, but first our reporter has been
:06:54. > :07:01.finding out what the new scheme means and how it will work.
:07:01. > :07:04.In our region, there are now over 80,000 young people unemployed.
:07:04. > :07:09.Building sites like this provides the ideal place for apprenticeships
:07:09. > :07:13.to learn their trade. The number of building site has almost halved
:07:13. > :07:21.during the downturn. Now the number of apprenticeships is starting to
:07:21. > :07:26.of apprenticeships is starting to rise. The real question has always
:07:26. > :07:31.been, is there any work for been, is there any work for
:07:31. > :07:39.apprenticeships -- those apprentices to do? Today, Vince
:07:39. > :07:43.Cable came to look at the situation. Apprenticeships are directly linked
:07:43. > :07:47.to planning applications under the new scheme. Each scheme is
:07:47. > :07:54.allocated a number of hours of training. The local authority can
:07:54. > :07:59.decide which trades that budget is applied to on each individual
:07:59. > :08:05.project. Here, these apprenticeships are all taking
:08:05. > :08:10.advantage of this on-the-job training. Most of my mates don't do
:08:10. > :08:15.anything. They either go to college or are unemployed. I and the only
:08:15. > :08:19.one I know with a job. I go to college one day a week and spend
:08:19. > :08:25.four days a week here. For the scheme to work, planning
:08:25. > :08:30.applications have to be submitted. Builders need the confidence to
:08:30. > :08:35.build for consumers who want to buy. Pastor coalition insist market
:08:36. > :08:39.conditions are improving, but the elusive the upturn for many still
:08:39. > :08:42.seems some way off. I spoke to Dr Cable during his
:08:42. > :08:45.visit and started by talking to him about those problems facing the
:08:45. > :08:48.construction industry. It meant there was a massive gap between the
:08:48. > :08:50.number of homes needed in our region and the number actually
:08:50. > :08:53.being built. No, you're quite right. The
:08:54. > :09:00.construction industry has been through a terrible time. There was
:09:00. > :09:03.a massive property bubble which has burst. It was badly damaged by the
:09:03. > :09:07.collapse in that the banking system. The Government is trying to move
:09:07. > :09:12.forward on this. We have a mortgage indemnity scheme to help first-time
:09:12. > :09:16.buyers. Construction companies like the one man with here are now
:09:16. > :09:20.beginning to build new houses again. They have been through a bad time,
:09:20. > :09:26.no doubt about that, but I think we are through the worst of it now.
:09:26. > :09:32.Last year, we had below was number of permanent dwellings being built
:09:32. > :09:36.in the last 20 years. Isn't the Government compounding decisions --
:09:36. > :09:42.compounding the problem by allowing local decisions to be made? We want
:09:42. > :09:47.these decisions made locally. In Northampton, you have a development
:09:47. > :09:51.corporation here which is driving things along. There is growth here.
:09:51. > :09:56.The important thing is to have not just housing going up, but also
:09:56. > :10:01.jobs. That is why there is a new enterprise zone being launched here
:10:01. > :10:06.to create thousands of new jobs in the years ahead. I will go to see
:10:06. > :10:11.that shortly. You have always had a strong, personal vision for the
:10:11. > :10:18.economy. A few months ago, you said it was important that we pull all
:10:18. > :10:22.the levers available. Do you believe that is the case? Yes, we
:10:22. > :10:26.are. The Government has a major problem that we have inherited of
:10:26. > :10:31.sorting out the public finances. We're not backing off that. But
:10:31. > :10:35.there are things the Government can-do and are doing to try to get
:10:35. > :10:43.growth. The key thing is training and apprenticeships. Putting more
:10:43. > :10:46.money into that. Supporting new technologies and innovations.
:10:46. > :10:51.Supporting the supply chain and advanced manufacturing. These are
:10:51. > :10:56.all things we can do to support the economy, but that is not an
:10:56. > :11:00.alternative to getting the public finances in order, it has to go a
:11:00. > :11:04.long side of. You want to get a pension and insurance funds
:11:04. > :11:10.investing in infrastructure projects like housing. That is a
:11:10. > :11:14.long-term project, is an dead? certainly will not happen overnight,
:11:14. > :11:18.but we have an absurd situation of vast amounts of savings for British
:11:18. > :11:23.people would have been put into pension funds and they are looking
:11:23. > :11:28.for a safe home to get a return for pensioners. There are lots of good
:11:28. > :11:31.project in Britain who can absorb their money. I think once we have
:11:31. > :11:36.got us going we will find a Infrastructure really beginning to
:11:36. > :11:39.improve in Britain. We are badly behind other developed countries.
:11:39. > :11:42.Still to come on Look East: Alex with the full weekend forecast. And
:11:42. > :11:52.the cheese that they can't call Stilton even though it is made
:11:52. > :11:56.There have been new developments in the hunt for the killers of a
:11:56. > :11:59.teenager found murdered on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk. The
:11:59. > :12:02.police have been searching the beach close to the village of
:12:02. > :12:08.Snettisham a few miles from Anmer where the body of Alisa Dmitrijeva
:12:08. > :12:12.was found. On a delight today, the beach at
:12:12. > :12:16.Snettisham can be quite bleak. Norfolk police believe Alisa
:12:16. > :12:20.Dmitrijeva was here when the weather was warmer in August. The
:12:20. > :12:25.search teams were looking for something which belonged to the 17-
:12:25. > :12:28.year-old Latvian. It could still be lying in the undergrowth. The
:12:28. > :12:32.police officers searched on the beach and in the car-park, looking
:12:32. > :12:37.for some small clue which might lead them to the person or persons
:12:37. > :12:43.who killed Alisa Dmitrijeva. have indications that Alisa
:12:43. > :12:46.Dmitrijeva visited the beach car- park during the evening of the 30th
:12:46. > :12:50.and returned there in the early hours of the morning. We understand
:12:50. > :12:58.there was a party going on involving members from the eastern
:12:58. > :13:04.European Community for. One local paper has produced a video in
:13:04. > :13:07.Russian appealing for help from the area's eastern European Community.
:13:08. > :13:15.As well as sightings of Alisa Dmitrijeva herself, the police are
:13:15. > :13:17.keen to find her mobile phone. It is an L G mobile phones similar to
:13:17. > :13:27.this one. They want more information about a car that looks
:13:27. > :13:29.
:13:29. > :13:37.like this one. She was seen getting into it on at 31st August. Contact
:13:37. > :13:40.details for the police are on screen now.
:13:40. > :13:45.The police believe that a man sought in connection with the
:13:45. > :13:48.murder of a jeweller in Suffolk could be hiding out in Essex. They
:13:48. > :13:52.want to talk to Pyotr Melaniuk and to hear from anyone who's seen him.
:13:52. > :13:55.The body of Peter Avis was found 13 days ago above Collis and Son in
:13:55. > :13:58.Abbeygate Street, Bury St Edmunds. A homeless man has been charged
:13:59. > :14:03.with murder and two other men with conspiracy to burgle.
:14:03. > :14:07.The Government says it will do all it can to help find a buyer for the
:14:07. > :14:10.Coryton Oil Refinery in Essex. Up to 1,000 jobs are at risk after the
:14:10. > :14:14.refinery's parent company went into administration.
:14:14. > :14:20.The tankers are rolling in as the refinery is now delivering to
:14:20. > :14:23.customers again. The administrator said it was pleased it was able to
:14:23. > :14:29.resume flow -- resume of fuel supplies to the region. That has
:14:29. > :14:34.eased fears that garages would run short. The crisis began when its
:14:34. > :14:39.Swiss owners got into deep financial trouble. But one local MP
:14:39. > :14:43.insists the Coryton Oil Refinery has a few too. This is a very good
:14:43. > :14:52.business. It is profitable. It got caught up in the problems of the
:14:52. > :14:58.parent company. I think there is a long-term future here. Coryton need
:14:58. > :15:02.another shipment of oil to refine. Something the energy sector had --
:15:02. > :15:05.the energy secretary himself was aware of when he made this stage
:15:05. > :15:15.and in the Commons. There is a cargo ready to be delivered this
:15:15. > :15:19.morning. BP has been working on this with us. I hope that normal
:15:19. > :15:29.activity will resume soon. After a meeting this afternoon, another
:15:29. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:44.Meanwhile, Coryton staff will be at a union meeting tonight. Their
:15:44. > :15:47.future still uncertain. A man has been seriously hurt after
:15:47. > :15:51.becoming trapped in machinery on a building site in Suffolk. The man
:15:51. > :15:55.who is in his 40s received injuries to his abdomen, hand and pelvis. It
:15:55. > :15:57.happened at Hitcham, near Stowmarket. He was flown to the
:15:57. > :16:01.Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital where his condition is
:16:01. > :16:04.stable. In cricket, the Essex batsman
:16:04. > :16:10.Alastair Cook fell just short of a 20th Test century for England
:16:10. > :16:15.against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi. He was at the crease for nearly five
:16:15. > :16:18.hours and hit 10 boundaries on his way to 94. He was just six runs
:16:18. > :16:21.away from equalling Graham Gooch and Ken Barrington's record of test
:16:21. > :16:27.hundreds. Cook and Jonathan Trott shared a second-wicket partnership
:16:27. > :16:30.of 139 before the Essex opener was bowled lbw by Saeed Ajmal.
:16:30. > :16:33.In the Commons today, the Government confirmed it will go to
:16:33. > :16:35.the supreme court after judges in the appeal court decided it acted
:16:35. > :16:38.illegally by ending the generous subsidy for fitting solar panels
:16:38. > :16:48.earlier than planned. But many companies which fit the panels say
:16:48. > :16:48.
:16:48. > :16:55.they could still face financial ruin.
:16:55. > :17:01.This man's solar panels were fitted in 2010. Despite the cut in subsidy,
:17:01. > :17:06.he would do it again. This is a very attractive option. You just
:17:06. > :17:11.need the ability to spend the capital in the first place. Last
:17:11. > :17:18.month, the subsidy was halved. Solar firms expected the cut, but
:17:18. > :17:22.not until April. As customers pulled out, they had to lay off 10
:17:22. > :17:26.staff and the rest went part-time. Now the Appeal Court said the
:17:26. > :17:33.Government acted illegally and they have proposed a new cut-off date of
:17:33. > :17:38.third more art. It has been a struggle to sell business. Are some
:17:38. > :17:44.still being put off? Absolutely. We're here it -- we're hearing this
:17:44. > :17:49.every day. If the Government can wrecked respectively change it from
:17:49. > :17:53.40 p to 80 p, what might happen next month? We were seeing and
:17:53. > :17:58.number of applications because the subsidy being paid was so out of
:17:58. > :18:04.kilter with the real costs. Had they not taken urgent action, we
:18:04. > :18:09.would have blown the whole budget. That is the nub of the argument.
:18:09. > :18:14.The government say if they don't stick to their date of December for
:18:14. > :18:19.having to Paris, it will cost energy companies billions and that
:18:19. > :18:29.cost will be passed on to customers. But solar firms say that nuclear

:18:47. > :18:50.2012. There was a cheese tasting at
:18:50. > :18:54.Stilton in Cambridgeshire today. On the menu, a delicious cheese made
:18:54. > :18:57.in the village. It is called white bell, but really everyone wanted to
:18:57. > :19:07.call it something else. It is made in Stilton, it tastes like stilton,
:19:07. > :19:08.
:19:08. > :19:13.but European Union rules mean they just can't call it stilton.
:19:13. > :19:19.This cheese looks like Stilton, it tastes like Stilton and is made in
:19:19. > :19:28.Stilton. Butty cannot be called Stilton. Today, it was on the menu
:19:28. > :19:35.for the first time. They have stipulated we must be producing
:19:35. > :19:45.cheese to be an interested party. Is at the same as Stilton? It is
:19:45. > :19:49.
:19:50. > :19:54.identical, really. But we cannot call it that. A recipe from the
:19:54. > :20:00.1800s is the proof that this village is the cheese's historical
:20:00. > :20:05.home. It was always said that the cheese was never made in Stilton,
:20:05. > :20:10.but just sold here. We can now provide evidence that it originated
:20:10. > :20:15.here. We're simply reclaiming our heritage instilled at an. If the
:20:15. > :20:20.cheese is not named after here, why is it called Stilton? There is no
:20:20. > :20:24.official answer, but this cheese is officially Stilton. Only three
:20:24. > :20:30.counties can call it that. And that is how we like could. You can't
:20:30. > :20:36.have people using the name anywhere in the world. Consumers know what
:20:36. > :20:42.they're getting when the by Stilton. They know that it can only be made
:20:42. > :20:52.in Leicestershire, Derbyshire are Nottinghamshire. So, how important
:20:52. > :20:58.
:20:58. > :21:03.Very, it seems. The evidence is irrefutable and the village should
:21:03. > :21:09.have that recognition. It is a lovely community. Put us on a map
:21:09. > :21:19.properly! Brussels will now decide whether this cheese from Cambridge
:21:19. > :21:26.
:21:26. > :21:29.MUSIC. In old England, very hard Not many statues have been made of
:21:29. > :21:32.sportsmen and women. There is one of Sir Bobby Robson in Ipswich and
:21:32. > :21:38.Graham Gooch in Chelmsford, but now there is also one of a gymnast from
:21:38. > :21:41.Northamptonshire. Her name is Frankie Jones. It has just been
:21:41. > :21:44.unveiled at Heathrow Airport as part of the celebrations for London
:21:45. > :21:48.2012. The women's national team failed to qualify for the Games,
:21:48. > :21:52.but Frankie should still be there because she has made the grade in
:21:52. > :21:57.her own right. There is no hiding in the shadows.
:21:57. > :22:01.Frankie Jones is on show for all to see. It is the power of the
:22:01. > :22:05.Olympics at work. Having a sculpture dedicated to her was
:22:05. > :22:11.something which would never have happened, had London not one of
:22:11. > :22:16.these games. The piece will greet travellers at Terminal 5 of
:22:16. > :22:22.Heathrow Airport. A huge honour for an athlete whose sport get next to
:22:22. > :22:26.a no coverage in the UK. It is a great thing. Many people get to see

:22:32. > :22:36.sport. Grace and beauty is just one part of her sporting life.
:22:36. > :22:42.Relentless graft and struggling against the odds also characterised
:22:42. > :22:47.the road to London. Sometimes, it gets too much. The training
:22:47. > :22:51.sessions are made harder by a three hour return journey from Kettering
:22:51. > :22:56.to Birmingham every day. She gets no funding from British gymnastics
:22:56. > :23:00.and often doesn't know how she will pay for petrol. She used to train
:23:00. > :23:10.at Wellingborough, but the ceiling was too low, there was not enough
:23:10. > :23:16.carpet and floorspace. I am struggling all the time. It has
:23:16. > :23:20.been very difficult for the last three years. I am managing to stay
:23:20. > :23:25.in it and do everything, so I can't really complain. It will all be
:23:25. > :23:30.worth it if she becomes an Olympian. She has already met the official
:23:30. > :23:36.selection criteria. But until the official announcement is made, she
:23:36. > :23:42.is still worried that Team GB might not pick her. You want to do it for

:23:49. > :23:57.if -- down. That is great motivation for this five times
:23:57. > :24:00.world champion. Beautiful to watch. Very graceful.
:24:01. > :24:03.And on Look East tomorrow, we will be live at the new diving centre in

:24:19. > :24:24.story now. The police have just released a these CCTV images
:24:24. > :24:30.showing potential witnesses they would like to talk to. The escape
:24:30. > :24:34.happened just before 7pm last night. There are images of a man
:24:34. > :24:39.approaching the hospital with a gun and two men are running away.
:24:39. > :24:44.Anyone with information should contact Suffolk Police, telephone

:24:48. > :24:57.We are gradually moving into a cold a spell of weather. A cold front
:24:57. > :25:01.swept across the country last night. It left a fair legacy of cloud,
:25:01. > :25:06.especially in the east over region. But had moved into the North Sea.
:25:06. > :25:11.What cloud we did have brought up quite widely. Under clearing skies
:25:11. > :25:16.tonight, it will get fairly chilly. We are expecting some frost tonight
:25:16. > :25:20.which could lead to some icy patches on the roads. There is
:25:20. > :25:24.enough cloud to produce the odd isolated shower in the West to
:25:24. > :25:30.start work. But then skies will clear and temperatures will dip
:25:30. > :25:35.down to around freezing. Some places just above that, but in the
:25:35. > :25:41.valleys we could see values Laura Sandys suggest. There will be a
:25:41. > :25:45.light south-westerly wind. For tomorrow, we average of high
:25:45. > :25:48.pressure that starts to build end. But we have this active features
:25:48. > :25:54.you're moving into the west of the region later. That could bring a
:25:54. > :25:58.line of showers, but it will be a chilly and bright start tomorrow.
:25:58. > :26:03.Plenty of sunshine through the morning. The clouds starting to
:26:03. > :26:11.gather in the West as we head towards lunchtime. Seven degrees
:26:11. > :26:16.could be possible and the winds will be light or moderate. These
:26:16. > :26:22.showers will track eastwards. They could be sharp and there could be
:26:22. > :26:27.some wintry showers. So watch out for those. Looking ahead, our

:26:32. > :26:38.region which marks the boundary between a mild air from the
:26:38. > :26:44.Atlantic and cold air pushy in from the east. That will mean that there
:26:44. > :26:52.will be some showers. Where the warm air meets the cold air, there
:26:52. > :26:59.could be sleet or snow. The weekend looks quite right but chilly. On
:26:59. > :27:02.Sunday, increasing cloud and we will see some sunshine. The winds
:27:02. > :27:07.changed to an easterly direction which could mean there are problems
:27:07. > :27:15.on Monday. Rain initially on Monday, but there is a potential for a
