:00:14. > :00:20.punch in an argument after a night out. The man who threw the punch is

:00:20. > :00:23.jailed for manslaughter of. One mindless action has totally

:00:23. > :00:29.destroyed our lives. It has taken an absolutely remarkable person

:00:29. > :00:38.from us. Our lives will never be the same for us stop the roads

:00:38. > :00:40.cracking in the drought. A father appeals for information 10

:00:40. > :00:50.years after his daughter was murdered.

:00:50. > :00:51.

:00:51. > :01:01.And I am with the Aldeburgh World Orchestra, in Suffolk for the 2012

:01:01. > :01:04.

:01:04. > :01:08.A harmless man who was no threat to anyone, the words used by adjudged

:01:08. > :01:12.to describe Kevin Harrison who was killed by a single punched during

:01:12. > :01:16.an argument after a night out. Today the man who threw the punch

:01:16. > :01:19.was jailed for five years for manslaughter.

:01:19. > :01:23.Kevin Harrison had been celebrating a birthday with his son and other

:01:23. > :01:27.friends in Bedford last September, and was punched once by a Ravi

:01:27. > :01:31.Sandhu, and died eight days later in hospital from catastrophic head

:01:31. > :01:38.injuries. After the verdict his widow said the family was lost

:01:38. > :01:45.without him. He died after a single punch, after

:01:45. > :01:51.a night out. Kevin Harrison, 48, was a father, stepfather and

:01:51. > :01:56.husband. Today his widow, supported by family, gay for this reaction. -

:01:56. > :02:06.- gave for this reaction. He goes for a night out, and we do not see

:02:06. > :02:09.

:02:09. > :02:15.him again. We watched him die. We never got a chance to say goodbye.

:02:15. > :02:20.I am having to sell my home because I cannot afford to run it any more.

:02:20. > :02:27.Our lives have been totally turned upside-down. 24-year-old Ravi

:02:27. > :02:30.Sandhu punched Kevin Harrison in the head from behind. This CCTV

:02:30. > :02:35.moments after, somewhere in the distance Kevin Harrison is lying on

:02:35. > :02:40.the pavement with brain-damaged, and highlighted now is Ravi Sandhu,

:02:40. > :02:44.running away with his friends. It was 3 o'clock in the morning. Kevin

:02:44. > :02:49.Harrison had been drinking and bumped into Ravi Sandhu and his

:02:49. > :02:54.friends on the pavement. A punch was thrown. He was a harmless man

:02:54. > :03:01.who was very drunk, no threat to anyone apart from himself, the

:03:01. > :03:06.court was told. I would urge people out on the town to stop and think

:03:06. > :03:09.before they take any action because as this incident has shown, it has

:03:10. > :03:18.led to tragic consequence the. Something the family say no one

:03:18. > :03:27.should have to go through. I just want people to think before they

:03:27. > :03:32.get involved in fights, arguments, because all it takes is one punched

:03:32. > :03:37.and everything is destroyed. -- 1 punched. His attacker was fuelled

:03:37. > :03:47.by drink, the judge said. His death was another sad reminder of the

:03:47. > :03:47.

:03:47. > :03:51.Four councils in the region are getting together to ask the

:03:51. > :03:55.Government for extra money for a gym work to repair the roads. The

:03:55. > :03:59.problems have been caused by months of below-average rainfall, which

:03:59. > :04:05.has led to the ground drying out. So far the councils have asked for

:04:05. > :04:15.nearly �20 million. Let us go life became richer.

:04:15. > :04:16.

:04:16. > :04:19.-- wife became richer. We are on the B1050 at Earith. The marina is

:04:19. > :04:23.just behind me, and the Rriver Great Ouse runs alongside.

:04:23. > :04:29.This road is a classic victim of a prolonged drought. People will tell

:04:29. > :04:32.you that the one thing they are guaranteed of is a bumpy ride.

:04:32. > :04:37.A roller-coaster ride is the one where it has been described, and

:04:37. > :04:40.that is the way it feels as you bump along the surface. The council

:04:40. > :04:46.says on many roads and Fenland, the ground is causing significant

:04:46. > :04:50.safety hazards, with risks increasing at night or in bad

:04:50. > :04:54.weather. They have been strengthening the banks of the

:04:54. > :04:58.River Ouse to prevent the roadway from sinking. But the drought is

:04:58. > :05:08.making things far worse, and for safety reasons, they have law of

:05:08. > :05:11.

:05:11. > :05:14.the speed limit from 60 to 40. The council wants to spend 100...

:05:14. > :05:18.wrote to the Minister to ask for additional funding, and the answer

:05:18. > :05:24.was not favourable. We have put a business case together that shows

:05:24. > :05:28.how much damage there is to the roads, which is exceptional. It is

:05:28. > :05:33.something we need to get to grips with, and the current budget would

:05:33. > :05:38.not allow us to do that. Peterborough city council is asking

:05:38. > :05:45.for �1.6 million to appear more than 156. This road is reckoned to

:05:45. > :05:48.be one of the worst in the area. You have to drive on the other side

:05:48. > :05:55.of the road, but then the oncoming traffic comes towards you, and you

:05:55. > :05:58.have to move over. The potholes make it very uncomfortable. It is

:05:58. > :06:02.worrying in many places, particularly if someone is coming

:06:02. > :06:12.towards you ruse not aware of how bad they are. Roads are cracking up

:06:12. > :06:13.

:06:13. > :06:17.even after they have been repaired. This is the high street, and

:06:17. > :06:24.another road in Sutton. 250 miles of rural roads are needing urgent

:06:24. > :06:29.treatment. Came Russia looking for 9.9 million, Peterborough looking

:06:29. > :06:34.for 6.1 million, Norfolk 3.8 million, and we're waiting for the

:06:34. > :06:38.official figure from Suffolk. That is a substantial amount. Norman

:06:38. > :06:43.Baker said today that councils in the region are getting �320 million

:06:43. > :06:47.for road maintenance over four years. He has said that last year

:06:47. > :06:52.they also got extra money to repair damage caused by severe winter

:06:52. > :06:56.weather. A man and a woman have been

:06:56. > :06:59.arrested on suspicion of murdering a seven-week-old boy a in

:06:59. > :07:04.Northampton. They were arrested following the death of Jamie

:07:04. > :07:09.Kightley last month. Felicity Simper is in Northampton for us now.

:07:09. > :07:13.These arrests were made nearly two weeks ago on 22nd March. But

:07:13. > :07:19.details are only just emerging. They follow the death of a seven-

:07:19. > :07:23.week-old baby boy, who has now been named as Jamie Kightley from London

:07:23. > :07:29.wrote in the Far Cotton a rear of Northampton. He died on Saturday,

:07:29. > :07:32.17th March. The two people who have been arrested a 23-year-old man and

:07:32. > :07:37.a 20-year-old women, both from Northampton, arrested on suspicion

:07:38. > :07:41.of murder. They have been bailed, pending further inquiries. Details

:07:41. > :07:46.surrounding the death are still unclear at the moment, but initial

:07:46. > :07:50.findings seem to suggest that they -- he died of a head injury. Police

:07:50. > :07:54.have not gone into any great detail at this stage, but they have said

:07:54. > :07:59.we can confirm that two arrests have been made by officers in the

:07:59. > :08:02.East Midlands special operations unit for a major crime, a 23-year-

:08:03. > :08:07.old man and a 20-year-old woman, both from Northampton were arrested

:08:07. > :08:10.on suspicion of the murder of a seven-week-old baby. Tests are

:08:10. > :08:13.still being carried out to establish why he died at the moment,

:08:13. > :08:19.and an inquest is due to open tomorrow.

:08:19. > :08:25.Thank you. 30 years ago this week, Argentina

:08:25. > :08:28.invaded the Falkland Islands. Within days we put together a task

:08:28. > :08:33.force, but one of the problems was the distance. None of the aircraft

:08:33. > :08:42.could fly the 8,000 miles to the Falkland Islands. A solution was

:08:42. > :08:49.found in this region, at Marshall Aerospace in Cambridge.

:08:49. > :08:52.The 2nd Battalion of the parish address -- Regiment.

:08:52. > :09:01.One man remembers a different battle, played out here in

:09:01. > :09:05.Cambridge. I remember the Col coming in from the RAF. They asked

:09:05. > :09:09.what can marshal do? Just weeks into the conflict, already supplies

:09:09. > :09:15.were running sure it. I did not realise how much was going to be

:09:15. > :09:18.involved, and what a big deal it would be. And you soon found out

:09:18. > :09:23.exclamation mark we still found -- we soon found out. Howard still

:09:23. > :09:33.works here. But nothing compares to the day that the RAF Aston to do

:09:33. > :09:34.

:09:34. > :09:37.the impossible. -- asked him. Marshall Aerospace designed,

:09:37. > :09:44.manufactured and installed a refuelling probe to the aircraft.

:09:44. > :09:50.They Hercules was essential to resupply the trips food. -- food,

:09:50. > :09:55.ammunition and medicine. But innate 1,000 mile journey required fuel

:09:55. > :10:00.stops. But Marshall Aerospace solve that. The man in charge of the RAF

:10:00. > :10:07.knows that without the company, things could have been different.

:10:07. > :10:12.It is quite remarkable the way that engineers and everybody rallied

:10:12. > :10:17.round and got on with it, work 24 hours a day, and the Hercules did a

:10:17. > :10:22.tremendous job as well. Those sentiments were echoed by the Prime

:10:22. > :10:27.Minister in a later visit to Marshall Aerospace. Did you enjoy

:10:27. > :10:31.it? Very much. And I was very proud. Current events have led to

:10:31. > :10:35.questions, could we once again be in the Falkland Islands have we had

:10:35. > :10:38.to? Whether or not the military could stretch that far is a

:10:38. > :10:43.question that is hard to answer. But one thing we know for sure is

:10:43. > :10:51.that the work you done means the Hercules will have no problems

:10:51. > :10:58.getting there whatsoever. Still to come: Top tips for a dry

:10:58. > :11:01.garden, and Kevin Burch with a four-legged hero. This is the

:11:01. > :11:04.rescue dog that helped locate one of the victims in the explosion

:11:04. > :11:14.yesterday in Clacton. Today we have come behind the scenes to see what

:11:14. > :11:19.

:11:19. > :11:23.Planned strike by ground staff at Stansted Airport over Easter have

:11:23. > :11:28.been called off. Workers belonging to the GMB union had threatened to

:11:28. > :11:34.walk out on Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Sunday, over

:11:34. > :11:38.pay. The action has been suspended after talks with employer Swissport.

:11:38. > :11:44.A rolling roadblock has been set up in Suffolk after several drivers

:11:44. > :11:48.told police their cars had been hit by rocks. A police helicopter has

:11:48. > :11:50.been called in to join the search. The police say they are looking for

:11:50. > :11:54.three or four young people. No one has the injured.

:11:54. > :11:59.The father of a woman who was murdered 10 years ago today has

:11:59. > :12:02.made a new appeal for help in finding her killer. Michelle

:12:02. > :12:07.Bettles worked as a prostitute in Norwich, and was found strangled in

:12:07. > :12:13.woodland near D them. The last sighting of Michelle

:12:13. > :12:17.Bettles in Norwich. The 22-year-old was a sex worker in the city's red

:12:17. > :12:21.light district. She had an appointment with a client, which

:12:21. > :12:29.she never made. Her father John lives in Yorkshire, and made an

:12:29. > :12:35.emotional trip to Norfolk to make one last plea for information.

:12:35. > :12:39.- you cannot explain. It is like a story with no ending. Your daughter

:12:39. > :12:46.had three young children at the time she died. How difficult has it

:12:46. > :12:49.been explaining what happened to them? As they are getting older now,

:12:49. > :12:54.they all have access to the internet, and it can be quite

:12:54. > :12:58.difficult. Three days after she went missing, a local dog walker

:12:58. > :13:02.spotted something in this area behind the country track. Police

:13:02. > :13:06.were called, found her fully- clothed body in undergrowth, 20

:13:06. > :13:12.miles from where she was last seen. Some of her personal items were

:13:12. > :13:17.missing. Her black leather coat she was wearing, her purse and part of

:13:17. > :13:20.a necklace. When two other sex workers went missing, there was

:13:20. > :13:24.speculation their disappearances could be linked, but police found

:13:24. > :13:28.no connection. We're making this appeal because we think that

:13:28. > :13:35.people's allegiances may have changed after 10 years, and may

:13:35. > :13:39.have new evidence we can work on. We do not wanted to look like no

:13:39. > :13:42.one ever cared, because we do it. Her father thinks this is the last

:13:43. > :13:47.chance he has to find out what happened to his daughter. Her

:13:47. > :13:56.favourite subject at school was French. The translation, gone too

:13:56. > :14:00.Two MPs from Suffolk have written to the Health Secretary asking for

:14:01. > :14:04.a heliport to be built at the new trauma centre at Addenbrooke's

:14:04. > :14:10.Hospital. The unit open yesterday but the air ambulance has to land

:14:10. > :14:14.at a local golf club, and the patient is then transferred by road.

:14:14. > :14:19.The regional trauma centre is one of 22 units being rolled out across

:14:19. > :14:25.the country. Dealing with critical injuries and emergencies, and

:14:25. > :14:28.launched only yesterday, Suffolk's MPs have wasted no time at been

:14:28. > :14:33.demanding a heliport be built for the air ambulance.

:14:33. > :14:38.We need to make sure that the air ambulance which saves lives on a

:14:38. > :14:42.daily basis is able to be used as part of that from a service, and we

:14:42. > :14:46.need to have a helipad at Addenbrooke's.

:14:46. > :14:49.The East Anglian Air Ambulance operates in a mainly rural and

:14:49. > :14:54.coastal area where it can be difficult for manned ambulances to

:14:54. > :15:00.reach the injured. Flying patients to Addenbrooke's involves landing

:15:00. > :15:05.at a nearby golf course with an 11.5 minute transfer by road.

:15:05. > :15:09.of the patients we treat have time critical injuries or illness is,

:15:09. > :15:14.and whilst we can do quite a lot for the patients at the scene,

:15:14. > :15:18.getting them to their treatment as soon as possible is one of our

:15:18. > :15:22.major object to us. Five years ago and Brooks borders

:15:22. > :15:26.land to expand the hospital and build a heliport, but then the

:15:26. > :15:31.recession kicked in. Today it said a helipad is part of its future

:15:31. > :15:41.plans, but was confident any future transfer by road would not have any

:15:41. > :15:44.adverse effect on patients being taken to the new trauma centre.

:15:44. > :15:47.The Ministry of Defence says 450 jobs have been secured in Harlow

:15:47. > :15:49.and Scotland by a �60 million contract for the weapons maker

:15:49. > :15:52.Raytheon. The order is for the new Paveway IV

:15:52. > :16:01.precision bomb, which is fired from Tornado jets. The bombs were used

:16:02. > :16:05.Last year and in Afghanistan. Essex play Gloucestershire in the

:16:05. > :16:10.County Championship on Thursday. Hopes are high - they have some new

:16:10. > :16:15.players and are looking for one of last season's stars to shine again.

:16:15. > :16:20.The back of his shirt says it all. Last season David Masters really

:16:20. > :16:26.did muster his craft. Leading wicket-taker in the county

:16:27. > :16:32.Championship, it tough act to follow. People have asked, are you

:16:32. > :16:37.going to get 100 wickets this year? That is a long way away. I will try

:16:37. > :16:47.my hardest, but if I can get 50 or 60 wickets in his season I have

:16:47. > :16:50.

:16:50. > :16:54.done really well. He is probably the best bowler I have ever kept to.

:16:54. > :16:59.He doesn't go for any runs. So while he is tasked with taking

:16:59. > :17:03.wickets, this man is here to score runs. Alviro Petersen flew in this

:17:03. > :17:11.morning from South Africa's Test series in New Zealand. He signed

:17:11. > :17:14.from Glamorgan, scoring of a 200 runs for them last season. I always

:17:14. > :17:19.believed can seek -- county cricket is a finishing school for Test

:17:19. > :17:25.cricket. There is not a lot of time to prepare.

:17:25. > :17:28.Essex today defender the Lord -- their role in the betting scandal.

:17:28. > :17:38.Their former butler was sentenced to four months in prison for spot

:17:38. > :17:39.

:17:39. > :17:42.fixing. -- bowler. If anything good comes out of this, I think it any

:17:42. > :17:45.whispering happens again it will be reported very quickly. We do not

:17:45. > :17:55.want to see this again in counted cricket.

:17:55. > :18:05.

:18:05. > :18:08.The target this season his promotion. The rent...

:18:08. > :18:12.Last that we told you how six people were rescued from a gas

:18:12. > :18:17.explosion in Clacton. One was rescued by a search dog called

:18:17. > :18:25.Kirby. He is four years old and had never

:18:25. > :18:31.worked on a rescue before. He only qualified in fact last week.

:18:31. > :18:35.It was a pretty impressive start for Kirby. First rescue, and it

:18:35. > :18:41.took him less than one minute in the rubble to find the trapped

:18:41. > :18:47.victim. When the house collapsed around him, he had fallen from top

:18:47. > :18:54.to bottom, apparently still in bed. This is where Kirby wind his skills

:18:54. > :19:02.in Sexton. Hand-picked when he was tiny, intense training, and now a

:19:03. > :19:08.life saver. To actually get a job one day after he is graded, and get

:19:08. > :19:15.a rescue. The rescue of -- the whole station was cheering for him,

:19:15. > :19:25.and I think it is a tribute to him who had impact -- everyone who had

:19:25. > :19:25.

:19:25. > :19:29.been packed into the dock. It is quite an experience. But it

:19:29. > :19:34.is well worth it at the end of the day because you see the dogs get a

:19:34. > :19:40.lot out of it, and it is a pleasure to help.

:19:40. > :19:45.A but while Kirby is still -- just starting, his team-mate is a

:19:45. > :19:49.veteran. Seven years old, she has been used overseas searching for

:19:49. > :19:53.survivors. You spend so much time with the dogs, they are part of a

:19:53. > :20:00.family. The fact that they come to work with you and you have them at

:20:00. > :20:03.home, I see more of Harburn I do of my wife. It is very much a strong

:20:03. > :20:08.bond. As the investigation into the

:20:08. > :20:12.Clacton blast continues, two victims remain in hospital. One is

:20:12. > :20:18.said to be stable and comfortable. The man pulled from the rubble is

:20:18. > :20:23.said to be stable. For Kirby and his handler, there is

:20:23. > :20:29.always yet more training to be done. Win the next rescue call goes out,

:20:29. > :20:34.they will be ready. -- then the next rescue Calders at.

:20:34. > :20:39.On Thursday lots of hospital will up our hosepipes and put them away

:20:39. > :20:44.for the foreseeable future. If you'd love to do gardening, but

:20:44. > :20:48.what could be a big problem. So let us get some advice from the

:20:48. > :20:53.experts at RHS Hyde Hall in Essex. They have got a dry garden which

:20:53. > :21:00.never gets extra water, but still looks amazing.

:21:00. > :21:06.Our reservoirs on low. Hosepipe bans are in the offing. So what

:21:06. > :21:10.plants can cope? This is the dry garden at RHS Hyde

:21:10. > :21:16.Hall near Chelmsford in Essex. It is the bras county in the country.

:21:16. > :21:25.All of the plants here, 700 species, survive on nothing more than

:21:25. > :21:29.rainfall. We never water at the dry garden at all. It is only if we

:21:29. > :21:32.planned one plant in the spring and it has not blame, it will get one

:21:33. > :21:40.watering can to get it started. A lot of the plants we used here are

:21:40. > :21:44.succulents, so they save water in their leaves. They are silvery

:21:44. > :21:47.leaves, but helps with reflecting the Sun, hairy leaves also helps

:21:47. > :21:56.with reflecting the Sun and retains water.

:21:56. > :22:03.And if Hyde Hall can do it, Gordon manager Ian says you can do it too.

:22:03. > :22:08.Dry gardens need not lack, cough. We have an acacia, a bright yellow

:22:08. > :22:17.small tree, a fantastic small specimen for the garden. This time

:22:17. > :22:25.of year, Euphorbia, the lime-green flowers and even some of the

:22:25. > :22:30.pronoun yield -- perennial wallflower. There always is

:22:31. > :22:36.something of interest cover bus macro, colour and texture.

:24:30. > :24:34.the language of music, although that in themselves -- itself is not

:24:34. > :24:40.straightforward. The middle C in one country is not always middle C

:25:34. > :25:38.moving down the country, this area of low pressure, bringing still

:25:38. > :25:44.fall to the Highlands of Scotland and northern England. We have seen

:25:49. > :25:56.have even reported help in the forecast. Those showers are merging

:25:56. > :26:01.together to form a longer spell of rain, some heavier rainfall

:26:01. > :26:07.expected overnight. You will see any snow fall held well to are not.

:26:07. > :26:14.We should stay frost-free for tonight. The lowest is three

:26:14. > :26:18.Celsius, many locations 45 Celsius. The winds will be light in strength,

:26:22. > :26:26.Norfolk coast increasing to a fresh north-easterly. That sets the scene

:26:26. > :26:32.for tomorrow. It will be a cold, wet, and windy forecast for
