:00:16. > :00:20.Good evening. Coming up, a narrow escape for people in the street
:00:20. > :00:25.after a gas explosion shatters the buildings. It is amazing that there
:00:25. > :00:33.was not anybody fatally killed in this incident. The people who came
:00:34. > :00:37.from the top floor have been very lucky. It is the driest spell for
:00:37. > :00:43.100 years. A hosepipe ban comes into force this street but who will
:00:43. > :00:48.pay it? Well people observed it? think they will. How can you police
:00:48. > :00:53.it? The detective who led the Suffolk murders inquiry reveals
:00:53. > :00:57.that he spent five hours a day briefing the media.
:00:57. > :01:07.And 30 years after the war, Lord Tebbit says he is doubtful but

:01:13. > :01:17.Fire crews in Essex said today it was a miracle that no one was
:01:17. > :01:22.killed when a gas explosion shattered a three-storey house in
:01:22. > :01:26.Clacton. It happened at 2:30am this morning.
:01:26. > :01:31.One of the people inside said it sounded like the house had been hit
:01:31. > :01:35.by a plane. The building is divided into three flats and amazingly all
:01:35. > :01:40.six people inside survived. 60 other people who lived nearby had
:01:40. > :01:48.to leave their homes. Emergency services are praising a sniffer dog
:01:48. > :01:52.who found one man buried under rubble.
:01:52. > :01:57.Countless people have come pass to look at the aftermath. All of them
:01:57. > :02:00.staggered that no one was killed, especially when you hear that two
:02:00. > :02:03.young children were involved. You can still see some of their toys
:02:03. > :02:10.hanging on the bedroom wall. It is clear that this could have been
:02:10. > :02:15.worse. A building torn apart in a split-second. This was how the
:02:15. > :02:20.property looked before the blast. By this morning, all that was
:02:21. > :02:27.standing was a shell. And only just. Richard is a tenant next door, and
:02:27. > :02:33.he was woken by the explosion. heard them screaming for help. I
:02:33. > :02:38.heard a child in there. There were people who wanted to help but we
:02:38. > :02:46.could not because of the gas. force of the gas explosion, it is
:02:46. > :02:50.immense. The pressure built up will push the windows out. The house was
:02:50. > :02:56.divided into three flats. This man was in one of them with his
:02:56. > :03:04.pregnant wife and their children. He said they were woken by a bang
:03:04. > :03:14.and then everything was sent flying. My wife was on the bed, with
:03:14. > :03:14.
:03:14. > :03:21.timbers on her. I tried to pull her out and move the family to the
:03:21. > :03:24.safety of my neighbours. I thought a plane had crashed. I did not know
:03:24. > :03:28.what had happened. They were rescued from a rooftop and taken to
:03:28. > :03:33.hospital with two other tenants, one a woman in her eighties who was
:03:33. > :03:40.badly burned and subsequently transferred to the burns unit.
:03:40. > :03:49.Another tenant was trapped under rubble for 90 minutes, and
:03:49. > :03:57.eventually found by this rescue dog. Amazingly, this was Kirby's first
:03:57. > :04:04.dog -- first job. It brought a lump to my throat to see him the chief.

:04:09. > :04:13.is masses of training and it was lovely to see it come together.
:04:13. > :04:17.Late this afternoon, with demolition work underway, the
:04:17. > :04:22.operator of this mighty digger had to demonstrate a delicate touch as
:04:22. > :04:27.another survivor emerged. The pet hamster, retrieved from the
:04:27. > :04:32.wreckage shaken but otherwise unhurt.
:04:32. > :04:37.To update due, the man you saw in that report is OK and his wife has
:04:37. > :04:42.been released from hospital. The baby is fine and their two children
:04:42. > :04:45.are in hospital but said to be stable. The man trapped under
:04:45. > :04:54.rubble is stable and the woman who was badly burned is being treated
:04:54. > :04:59.in hospital. Retailers are reporting a big
:04:59. > :05:03.increase in the sales of water butts as gardeners get ready to
:05:03. > :05:07.dash for the hosepipe ban. The restrictions come into place this
:05:07. > :05:10.Thursday. Other companies could still follow suit. That would mean
:05:10. > :05:20.that darkness across the region will be going into Easter in
:05:20. > :05:21.
:05:21. > :05:25.drought conditions. I will be talking to Anglian Water after this.
:05:25. > :05:33.It is something we have taken for granted but in three days, many of
:05:33. > :05:40.us will have to turn off our hosepipes for some time. Will
:05:40. > :05:46.people flout the ban? Yes, probably. What should happen? I think it will
:05:46. > :05:51.happen. How could you police it? It is very difficult. We have water
:05:51. > :05:55.butts, but you have to prove you were using a hose. I do not think I
:05:55. > :06:05.would police it. Will people observed it? He yes. I think they
:06:05. > :06:06.
:06:06. > :06:12.will. This company sells water butts. Sales have gone through the
:06:12. > :06:16.roof, they say. Sales have increased dramatically. Now that
:06:16. > :06:25.the hosepipe ban is imminent, people are realising that they need
:06:25. > :06:31.water butts. Gardens with less water mean worrying times for what
:06:31. > :06:36.life organisations. The drought is worrying. Wild birds need water in
:06:36. > :06:43.the countryside and in the garden. Garden birds need water to drink
:06:43. > :06:47.and they then, and the water provide their food. -- provides

:06:56. > :07:04.thinking about our gardens, but will we obey the rules? What will
:07:04. > :07:08.happen if we do not? Many questions. Kieran Nelson is
:07:08. > :07:14.from Anglian Water. What happens if you get caught using your hosepipe?
:07:14. > :07:17.We can find people up to �1,000 but we're confident that based on the
:07:17. > :07:23.water efficient behaviour of our customers we will not need to reach
:07:23. > :07:27.for that Leaver. We know our customers have embraced water takes
:07:27. > :07:32.-- embraced water-saving methods. 90,000 of them have had water
:07:32. > :07:37.efficient devices fitted. But the sanction need to be there because
:07:37. > :07:42.the most important thing we can do is save water. We have not had rain
:07:42. > :07:47.and so we need to do what we can. How are you going to catch them?
:07:47. > :07:52.have 4000 staff working in and around our region. They will be
:07:52. > :07:55.working, going about, doing their jobs. We talk to thousands of
:07:55. > :07:59.customers on a regular basis and we will be reminding them why we are
:07:59. > :08:07.having a hosepipe ban. And why we have reached the stage, how the
:08:07. > :08:11.drought has affected us. Sorry to interrupt, but we heard you would
:08:11. > :08:15.be pumping water from the places with a hosepipe ban in two places
:08:15. > :08:20.that do not have a hosepipe ban. That seems to fly in the face of
:08:20. > :08:23.logic. That is an environment agency scheme, not our scheme.
:08:23. > :08:30.Bowater they're talking about his water that would otherwise go into
:08:30. > :08:34.the sea and be unusable. We have taken out of the river all the
:08:34. > :08:39.water that we can either. Get to that stage. At that point, it is
:08:40. > :08:44.appropriate for the water to be re- used in other parts of the country.
:08:44. > :08:50.Why don't you take it out before it goes? We take what we are licensed
:08:50. > :08:56.to take. We take that to reservoirs. We have been doing that
:08:56. > :09:02.successfully over the winter thanks to the drought orders. Ciaran
:09:02. > :09:04.Nelson, thank you very much. Nelson, thank you very much.
:09:04. > :09:10.So what we need is rain. Any on the way?
:09:10. > :09:14.The good news is that yes, there is. And some snow, possibly, too. I
:09:14. > :09:24.will have all the details later. Plus some interesting facts and
:09:24. > :09:27.
:09:27. > :09:31.Some newspaper coverage of the Suffolk murders has been criticised
:09:31. > :09:35.today for being unhelpful and sensationalist. The remarks were
:09:35. > :09:39.made by Stewart Gull, a former senior officer with the police in
:09:39. > :09:44.Suffolk. He told the Leveson Inquiry that some reports raise the
:09:44. > :09:47.level of fear in the community. For six weeks, it's which was at
:09:47. > :09:51.the centre of one of Britain's biggest manhunts. Five women
:09:51. > :09:58.working as prostitutes taken from the streets and killed by Steve
:09:58. > :10:01.Wright, who was jailed for life in 2008. Stewart Gull led the
:10:01. > :10:06.investigation and reveals to the Leveson Inquiry house
:10:06. > :10:11.sensationalist headlines wasted valuable police time. "Suffered
:10:11. > :10:16.gripper rampages, he kills them and stores them, dumping them in the
:10:16. > :10:24.dark." It was an unnecessary distraction. I had to spend
:10:25. > :10:32.considerable time correcting the media, telling them that I was not
:10:32. > :10:40.interested in a blue BMW. Local newspapers started a somebody's
:10:40. > :10:47.daughter campaign, but the tabloid approach was something else.
:10:47. > :10:50.witness some appalling journalism. -- I witnessed. Including
:10:50. > :10:55.journalists barging into a centre and try to take photographs of
:10:55. > :10:59.women we were helping get off the streets. There was a bidding
:10:59. > :11:03.process with some newspapers, the women were saying they could get
:11:03. > :11:09.�1,000 of them, or �500 off them. It was difficult at that time
:11:09. > :11:14.because we were trying to get women of drugs. He describes tabloid
:11:14. > :11:19.journalists as morally corrupt but this journalist says it is too easy
:11:19. > :11:23.for the Leveson Inquiry to absorb evidence and forget the context. He
:11:23. > :11:26.says the investigation was sensational and so the coverage was
:11:26. > :11:29.sensational. During one media conference, the word went around
:11:30. > :11:36.that another body had been found, which was bound to lead to picket
:11:36. > :11:40.lines. -- big headlines. Suffix Fire and
:11:41. > :11:50.Rescue have demonstrated their new breathing apparatus. The kit has

:12:39. > :12:43.it is not cheap. -- the kit. It is important we make sure we spend our
:12:43. > :12:46.money on the most important things. Making sure firefighters have fresh
:12:46. > :12:51.air available to them when they are in burning buildings, it does not
:12:51. > :12:55.get much more important than that. Firefighters can find themselves
:12:55. > :13:05.working in smoke-filled, pitch black buildings at temperatures of
:13:05. > :13:09.
:13:09. > :13:15.up to 600 Celsius. You hearing is reduced,... I cannot see a thing.
:13:15. > :13:21.Your vision is impaired because of the darkness. You rely on your
:13:21. > :13:25.other senses. The training exercise was a success and for firefighters,
:13:25. > :13:32.breathing apparatus is vitally important. Suffolk Fire and rescue
:13:32. > :13:35.think they now have the best money can buy.
:13:36. > :13:39.The union which represents baggage handlers at Stansted airport says
:13:39. > :13:45.it will attend talks this week aimed at averting a potential

:14:25. > :14:29.goal from Dempsey. It was six Nell seven years ago, a result that

:14:33. > :14:37.second half. -- 6-Nell seven years ago.
:14:37. > :14:40.Saturday's game will be resent -- remembered for celebrations to mark
:14:40. > :14:45.the 50th anniversary of a championship-winning side. Six
:14:45. > :14:50.members of the team were there and the stand was renamed in honour of
:14:50. > :14:53.their legendary manager. The view from the touchline was altered. Sir
:14:53. > :15:01.Bobby Robson has been to the left for some time but Sir Alf has come
:15:01. > :15:05.to join them. The new stand represents a wonderful period of
:15:05. > :15:13.the team's history. I was looking for the right opportunity. I could
:15:13. > :15:16.not think of anyone better than the group of 1961 and 1962 to actually
:15:16. > :15:24.fulfil the honour on behalf of the club, renaming it after their
:15:24. > :15:29.manager. I have engaged with Sir Alf Ramsey's widow, and she has
:15:29. > :15:35.been very happy that her husband has been recognised. For those who
:15:35. > :15:45.remember what he did for the club, Saturday's unveiling was about time.
:15:45. > :15:46.
:15:46. > :15:51.It is a long time coming. It has been bandied about for many years.
:15:51. > :15:55.It has finally arrived. Good timing. Six members of that winning team
:15:55. > :16:00.were present on Saturday for Ipswich's game with Barnsley. An
:16:00. > :16:04.appreciative crowd applauded them across the pitch. When they took to
:16:04. > :16:09.their seats, the Ipswich players showed their respect with a gesture
:16:09. > :16:14.of their own. The day was rounded off by a win for Ipswich Town. It
:16:14. > :16:22.was not the prettiest of spectacles but the 1-0 win insured a good
:16:22. > :16:28.start to Sir Alf's view. In League One, A6 draw in seven
:16:28. > :16:35.seems to have ended Colchester's play-off hopes. An own goal lead
:16:35. > :16:39.and 10 for the table. Southend are two points of the promotion spot.
:16:39. > :16:44.Goals from Ferdinand, and Freddie Eastwood's first since rejoining
:16:44. > :16:48.the club. The Blues and a much- needed win.
:16:48. > :16:51.Late Kick Off returns to its regular time of 11 or 5:00pm
:16:51. > :16:55.tonight on BBC One. There is a special report of how clubs in the
:16:55. > :16:58.region are fighting to fill stadiums during tough economic
:16:58. > :17:02.times. In golf, Charlie Hall from Wogan
:17:02. > :17:05.has been picked for a tournament which sees the top amateurs from
:17:05. > :17:09.Britain and Ireland take on American counterparts. She was
:17:09. > :17:19.initially left out of the team but she has now been included in the
:17:19. > :17:30.
:17:30. > :17:34.matches in June. Labour has become the first main
:17:34. > :17:36.political party to launch its campaign for the local elections
:17:36. > :17:39.this year. Ed Miliband told supporters that only Labour is in
:17:39. > :17:44.touch with the real concerns of people.
:17:44. > :17:50.Polling day is May 3rd but this year voting is taking place in 19
:17:50. > :17:54.other local councils. -- 19 of our local councils. Most
:17:54. > :17:58.parts of the region will not be voting but there could be some
:17:59. > :18:02.interesting battles. This is where elections are being held. Cambridge
:18:02. > :18:05.is the only Liberal Democrat run council left in the region and Mike
:18:05. > :18:10.lose it this time. The Labour authorities of Ipswich and
:18:10. > :18:14.Stevenage, in Norwich, Colchester and Milton Keynes, all in no
:18:14. > :18:17.overall control but they could change colour. And then there are
:18:17. > :18:23.all these Conservative councils, most of them with big Tory
:18:23. > :18:27.majorities. Harlow was worth watching, that is where Labour
:18:27. > :18:33.chose to launch their regional election campaign. The rosettes are
:18:33. > :18:38.back. The door knocking his back. And so are the photo-opportunities.
:18:38. > :18:42.Today, Liam Byrne, Shadow Work and Pensions Minister, who famously
:18:42. > :18:45.left a note saying there was no money left in the Treasury, dropped
:18:45. > :18:50.into a house meeting of Labour activists and residence in his home
:18:50. > :18:54.town. Ed Miliband is talking about how we need to protect frontline
:18:54. > :19:00.policing. Labour wants to focus his campaign on the impact that the
:19:00. > :19:02.Government's policies are having a local communities. Today, it
:19:02. > :19:07.claimed to 1000 frontline police officers will be lost in the region
:19:07. > :19:10.by 2015. If you have anti-social behaviour or vandalism in the
:19:10. > :19:14.community, that is not a national issue, that is something outside
:19:14. > :19:20.your front door. The Government is proposing a step in the wrong
:19:20. > :19:25.direction. Where would you cut instead? We have said that
:19:25. > :19:28.efficiencies have got to be made but that we agree with the her
:19:28. > :19:34.Majesty's -- with her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary that
:19:34. > :19:37.if you make cuts of 12%, you can protect the front line. They are
:19:37. > :19:41.just one seat behind the Conservatives in Harlow. Norwich
:19:41. > :19:46.and Cambridge are also major targets. The party is taking
:19:46. > :19:51.nothing for granted. It took control of Ipswich last year but
:19:51. > :19:56.did not win as many sheets in the region as it had hoped. -- win as
:19:56. > :20:00.many seats. Last time these seats were up for
:20:00. > :20:05.grabs, it was 2008 and Gordon Brown was Prime Minister. We were about
:20:05. > :20:11.to go into recession and Labour did badly. In theory, this should be a
:20:11. > :20:14.good year but in politics, there is never any guarantee.
:20:14. > :20:17.Lord Tebbit told Look East a day that he doubted whether Britain
:20:17. > :20:22.could mount another Falklands style military campaign. He was speaking
:20:22. > :20:24.at his home in Suffolk on the 30th anniversary of the conflict. The
:20:24. > :20:28.anniversary today has brought memories flooding back for
:20:28. > :20:38.everybody who was there including many servicemen and women from this

:20:46. > :20:53.aircraft flying over. -- fighting with Dale nets. The word I used to
:20:53. > :20:56.is that I was absolutely petrified. Mark recently returned to the
:20:56. > :21:02.Falklands to retrace his first trek across the island as a paratrooper
:21:02. > :21:09.30 years ago. It looks very benign now. There are sheep wandering
:21:09. > :21:14.around. It was quite so real. It was fantastic to go back. -- quite
:21:14. > :21:19.surreal. It is hard to picture that that was the same place. The Battle
:21:19. > :21:24.of Goose Green was one of the fiercest of the conflict. One of
:21:24. > :21:29.these Argentinian complex has become a memento of war. --
:21:29. > :21:36.Argentinian helmets. I picked this up on the hill. A Chris was pens to

:21:40. > :21:47.point Chris was pinned to the ground. I said, if you get out of
:21:47. > :21:52.this, I will believe in You forever more. They had attacked us, and we
:21:52. > :21:59.shot them to bits. But they did come for an attack and kudos to
:21:59. > :22:04.them. Do you still have faith? Because of that? Yes.
:22:04. > :22:09.turnaround was extraordinary. From his home in Suffolk, former Essex

:22:18. > :22:27.if the islands were to now be taken, we would not have the ability to
:22:27. > :22:36.take them back from the invaders. We lack the aircraft and the

:22:49. > :22:55.fights with little guys. We must not get ourselves into the position
:22:55. > :22:58.of being a little guy. For now, the islands are secure. One veteran
:22:58. > :23:04.told me that the Falklands may well have been Britain's last Imperial
