:00:06. > :00:16.On Look East tonight: All bets are ON as Milton Keynes becomes the
:00:16. > :00:16.
:00:16. > :00:26.first place in the region to gamble on a new casino. It will be great
:00:26. > :00:27.
:00:27. > :00:29.for Milton Keynes. We will create 250 new jobs.
:00:29. > :00:33.Hello from Stewart and me. Also tonight: After five years of
:00:33. > :00:37.decline, Stansted Airport asks for a change in the rules to help it
:00:37. > :00:45.fly out of trouble. The spectacular match-winner which
:00:45. > :00:49.rounded off an Easter to remember for the Canaries.
:00:49. > :00:59.And end a drought, the latest addition to the sporting calendar -
:00:59. > :01:05.
:01:05. > :01:11.The biggest casino in the region is coming to Milton Keynes. The local
:01:11. > :01:17.council has given the go-ahead, despite local opposition. There are
:01:17. > :01:27.currently 12 smaller sized casinos. They are in Great Yarmouth, Luton,
:01:27. > :01:35.
:01:35. > :01:41.south end and Luton. Let us get the details from Michael, in Milton
:01:41. > :01:50.Keynes. This is where it will go. Right down these windows here. It
:01:50. > :01:55.will be big. Inside, the size of a supermarket. The casino says it
:01:55. > :02:02.will be great for the local economy, but people say gambling could cause
:02:02. > :02:09.problems. What dominates the skyline or become a dominant player
:02:09. > :02:15.in the world of gambling. Inside, ski-slopes, climbing, and soon, a
:02:15. > :02:22.massive casino. It would be great for Milton Keynes. We will recruit
:02:22. > :02:29.250 people when we open in 2013. We will make a commitment that we
:02:29. > :02:37.offer those jobs to locals first. We want local employment for our
:02:37. > :02:43.casinos. A more than 3,000 square metres of floor its base. It will
:02:43. > :02:48.be open at 247. Its machines will have a �4,000 jackpot. And
:02:48. > :02:56.admission? Strictly over 18. But some residents say this is the
:02:56. > :03:04.wrong place. For the licensing authority to have a casino here is
:03:04. > :03:08.simply an appropriate. People will be drawn into it in large numbers,
:03:08. > :03:17.and there will be a percentage, young and old, who cannot handle it.
:03:17. > :03:24.The casinos or be paying �500,000 to the council's. The council's
:03:24. > :03:30.does not have a lot of money. To be able to have money to put towards
:03:30. > :03:36.the council is worthwhile, even if there are drawbacks. Funds from the
:03:36. > :03:44.casino will also help charities treating it depicted a gambler's.
:03:44. > :03:47.But some say it is too high a price to pay. What the company got to his
:03:47. > :03:52.their provisional statement - what they need next it is their
:03:52. > :03:58.operational licence, but is just before marriage to a -- formality.
:03:58. > :04:02.Next year, one of the country's biggest casinos will be open for
:04:02. > :04:06.business right here in Milton Keynes.
:04:06. > :04:08.The managing director of Stansted airport is appealing to the
:04:08. > :04:13.industry regulators for restrictions on what it does to be
:04:13. > :04:17.lifted. It has been losing passengers since the economic
:04:17. > :04:20.downturn five years ago, and says many regulations are unnecessary
:04:20. > :04:26.and expensive. 200,000 people pass through
:04:26. > :04:29.Stansted over a holiday weekend. Even so, it is likely to but had
:04:29. > :04:36.been the airport's poorest Easter for five years. Passenger numbers
:04:36. > :04:43.have been dropping since 2007. It is one Regent -- reason why
:04:43. > :04:48.Stansted was to be freed from regulation. Stansted is one of
:04:48. > :04:54.three airports to have its landing fees capped. But that regulation
:04:55. > :04:59.comes at a cost to Stansted, around �20,000 a week. The airport argues
:04:59. > :05:04.there has so much competition, there is no need further regulation.
:05:04. > :05:12.Some airlines have quit Stansted for Gatwick, and the opening of
:05:12. > :05:19.Southend, plus Luton, mean Stansted is not short of competition. What
:05:19. > :05:23.the regulation means is that if you charge a price, there a price caps.
:05:23. > :05:29.If they could charge any price delight, the customers would suffer.
:05:29. > :05:38.They would make excess profits, and they could be used to fund a second
:05:38. > :05:43.runway. We are not keen to see price caps removed. With the
:05:43. > :05:47.airport likely to be sold by it BAE a in the not-too-distant future,
:05:47. > :05:52.change is very much and the air at Stansted.
:05:52. > :05:58.Earlier, I spoke to be managing director of Stansted. I asked him
:05:58. > :06:01.if he felt regulation had held the airport back. We are looking
:06:01. > :06:07.towards the future. The history of regulation has been reasonable, but
:06:07. > :06:12.when you look at our marketplace, our traffic volumes have fallen.
:06:12. > :06:16.The airport needs to be as free as it can be to deliver the better its
:06:16. > :06:24.passengers. Regulation it is a necessary. If we can remove it, it
:06:24. > :06:30.can always come back and the future. You did have a growth between 2002
:06:30. > :06:34.and 2007, which has tailed off. Are you admitting that you have peaked,
:06:35. > :06:40.and this is the best you can do? Or do you have aspirations to become a
:06:40. > :06:47.bigger airport? The airport itself will become a very strong asset to
:06:47. > :06:53.the region. It is very significant. It has potential to house but a 5
:06:53. > :06:57.million passengers. The argument is to not constrain a business
:06:57. > :07:00.unnecessarily. And this is what we are dealing with. Can you give us
:07:00. > :07:04.an example of the thing you have to provide, but an airport like
:07:04. > :07:10.Manchester might not have to? issue of regulation is about
:07:10. > :07:17.complexity, and how easy I can make decisions to improve the customer
:07:17. > :07:21.experience or perhaps our airlines. It makes it more difficult. One of
:07:21. > :07:28.our airlines wanted a deal for parking aircraft at the airport
:07:28. > :07:32.this winter. It took me six weeks to get that approved. So, if
:07:32. > :07:35.regulation was taken away, would that mean lower charges for
:07:35. > :07:42.airlines and passengers, or would it just mean higher profits the
:07:42. > :07:50.you? Been regulatory burden on the airport is relatively modest, but
:07:50. > :07:54.it is a sizable cost to us as a business. Naturally, those costs,
:07:54. > :08:02.we would aim to pass through to our customers. Yes, it would go through
:08:02. > :08:05.to them. There's lots more to come on Look
:08:05. > :08:08.East including: A new way to use your smartphone.
:08:08. > :08:10.There's a round-up of the goals from the weekend... And some camel
:08:10. > :08:13.racing in Essex! And I'm here with your weather
:08:13. > :08:23.forecast which brings us a week of April showers with some chilly
:08:23. > :08:28.
:08:28. > :08:32.nights thrown in. The full details Government agencies in Essex
:08:32. > :08:41.launched a crackdown against illegal cigarettes. They are
:08:41. > :08:47.targeting counterfeit brands which they say encourage crime.
:08:47. > :08:53.The fight against illegal tobacco here in Colchester. Members of the
:08:53. > :08:56.public been told of the dangers. Any cigarettes are dangerous, but
:08:56. > :09:01.particularly counterfeit tobacco. Nobody knows what chemicals they
:09:01. > :09:09.are putting into it. These are some of the million counterfeit
:09:09. > :09:13.cigarettes seized each year. Third a percent of people in the east of
:09:13. > :09:17.England have been offered illicit tobacco, so today is the
:09:17. > :09:21.opportunity to outline the dangers of that. One of the biggest
:09:21. > :09:26.campaigners is the danger of children will bite. In this shop,
:09:26. > :09:34.anyone who looks under 25 has to show ID before they can buy
:09:34. > :09:38.cigarettes. It is difficult for children to get cigarettes, so I
:09:38. > :09:42.think it maybe more the younger generation that might be looking to
:09:42. > :09:49.illegal cigarettes. The cost of smoking has nearly doubled over the
:09:49. > :09:55.last five years. Much of that goes to the Treasury, in either the
:09:55. > :10:00.feared he or duty. When I go to Egypt, I buy them out there!
:10:00. > :10:05.don't know how they can afford it. There are more and more than
:10:05. > :10:10.smoking. Local pubs are backing the campaign as well. Anything that
:10:10. > :10:14.helps young people cut down smoking is good. The campaign of all round
:10:14. > :10:18.it throughout the summer. A party of students from Norwich
:10:18. > :10:22.had a lucky escape today when they were involved in a crash on the A14.
:10:22. > :10:24.The driver had to be cut free when the coach collided with a lorry in
:10:24. > :10:32.Cambridgeshire. The passengers - mainly young people from the King's
:10:32. > :10:36.Community Church in Norwich - were unhurt. These things happen
:10:36. > :10:41.suddenly. And impact, we do not know what happened yet. People had
:10:41. > :10:44.their heads on the seeds. The coach driver was trapped behind the
:10:44. > :10:48.steering wheel, but the police and fire brigade have cut him loose
:10:48. > :10:51.from that. The owner of a coffee business is
:10:51. > :10:56.making a stand for politeness by refusing to serve customers what
:10:56. > :11:01.they are talking on their mobiles. It has been described as a blow
:11:01. > :11:06.against rudeness. Little Red Rooster is an upmarket
:11:06. > :11:10.market stall. They do not too bad coffee or bad manners. The owner
:11:10. > :11:19.has put his foot down because he got fed up having to compete for
:11:19. > :11:26.the attention of customers. can't ask the relevant questions if
:11:26. > :11:32.they are on their mobiles. We have had an increase in people doing
:11:32. > :11:36.that. We put a sign up. Most of his clientele think he is right.
:11:36. > :11:39.think it is a very good idea. I have worked in pubs before, and it
:11:39. > :11:47.is a rude when you are talking to customers, and suddenly the phone
:11:47. > :11:53.goes. Everybody has got a mobile, so you tend to get sidelined.
:11:53. > :11:56.Actually, the mobile phone should become the secondary issue. It be
:11:56. > :12:00.brought under stores did it to the customer, the customer would
:12:01. > :12:07.probably walk cop. Why should it be different the other way round?
:12:07. > :12:12.guru of etiquette says it is about time people learned mobile phone
:12:12. > :12:16.manners. Cashiers have the same problem. The cashiers are trained
:12:16. > :12:21.to say good morning, do you want help with packing? They look people
:12:21. > :12:31.in the eye. All they get is a mumble and a grant. Darren and his
:12:31. > :12:32.
:12:32. > :12:38.wife have a coffee shop as well. Some people turn their nose are
:12:38. > :12:42.patted. But you can't please everybody. Baron insists he is not
:12:42. > :12:52.out to start a campaign. He just wants to make his life a little bit
:12:52. > :12:58.
:12:58. > :13:04.easier. Norwich City are still in the top
:13:04. > :13:10.This chap had a screen against Tottenham. We saw the Canaries take
:13:10. > :13:15.four points from Everton and Spurs. It doesn't matter what newspaper
:13:15. > :13:25.you read - the headlines are the same. Norwich City are there to
:13:25. > :13:26.
:13:26. > :13:36.stay. Saturday saw more than 26,000 crowd here, but twice, the toffees
:13:36. > :13:46.took the lead. And twice they hit back. Everton were in front again,
:13:46. > :13:57.
:13:57. > :14:04.They do have into draw gave the Canaries another point on the board.
:14:04. > :14:10.We have got lads who want to win. They have got that big massive
:14:10. > :14:17.heart. When Norwich and Tottenham met earlier, Norwich were
:14:17. > :14:24.outclassed. But the tables were turned yesterday. Norwich were
:14:24. > :14:34.convinced they were due a penalty. But no reaction from the referee.
:14:34. > :14:38.Tottenham got back on level terms, thanks to Jermaine Defoe. Not much
:14:38. > :14:48.was going in Norwich's favour, and there were no doubts about the
:14:48. > :14:48.
:14:48. > :14:55.winner. What a goal from Elliott Bennett! He goes to celebrate with
:14:55. > :15:01.the Norwich fans! And Norwich first up on Match of the day for base
:15:01. > :15:06.start. Paul Lambert, what a job he has done. He has taken them to mid-
:15:06. > :15:16.table in the Premier League. Fantastic for the players, managers
:15:16. > :15:17.
:15:17. > :15:20.Not such a good period for some of the other teams in our region -
:15:20. > :15:24.Defeats for both Ipswich Town and and Colchester. But an important
:15:24. > :15:32.win for Southend in League Two, who are still thrashing it out for a
:15:32. > :15:40.chance to earn promotion. Pride is all that 15th placed Ipswich have
:15:40. > :15:48.left to play for. Leicester's David Nugent was happy to play the
:15:48. > :15:54.villain. The winner was fantastic for his team but a defeat for
:15:54. > :16:00.Ipswich. It was a bad day for called Chester in the north-west.
:16:00. > :16:09.As the rain fell sordid concentration. Called Chester were
:16:09. > :16:13.three down when their opponents pulled one back. Southend's chance
:16:13. > :16:23.of automatic promotion may be slim but they were back to winning ways
:16:23. > :16:25.
:16:25. > :16:31.against Wimbledon. Two second half half goals led to victory. That is
:16:31. > :16:41.all for now. There is more news on your favourite club on the BBC
:16:41. > :16:44.
:16:44. > :16:49.My first mobile phone came in a shoulder bag and felt like it
:16:49. > :16:52.weighed a ton. These days things are very different, they are much
:16:52. > :16:55.smaller and we have entered the age of smart phones and apps. Software
:16:55. > :17:01.developers in Cambridge and Norwich are now planning to take the
:17:01. > :17:04.smartphone on another step forward. Soon, consumers will be able to use
:17:04. > :17:14.their phones to pay for goods and services - at a stroke - doing away
:17:14. > :17:15.
:17:15. > :17:19.with the purse or wallet. Think how far we have come since mobile
:17:19. > :17:26.phones looked like this. There are more phones in the UK now than
:17:26. > :17:33.there are people, they are part of hour every day life. But would you
:17:33. > :17:38.say goodbye to all you're credit cards and put them on to A141?
:17:38. > :17:45.Technology has now been developed which helps you pay for things on
:17:45. > :17:55.your phone. The idea is that your credit card is stored on your
:17:55. > :18:00.mobile telephone and it can be placed near a reader. You have to
:18:00. > :18:04.pick your card in a terminal, enter a pen and wait for things to happen
:18:04. > :18:08.but with this new technology you just Capua phone on to detail, it
:18:08. > :18:14.pops up with the right card you want to use and the transaction
:18:14. > :18:20.goes through. It is quick and convenient. There has been a trial
:18:20. > :18:25.on the London Tube and bus network. There are concerns over security
:18:25. > :18:33.which are making consumers cautious. I would be worried in case it got
:18:33. > :18:38.lost or stolen. It is only on one device. I think it is a great idea
:18:38. > :18:44.to have a one stop shop on your phone. It seems silly because if
:18:44. > :18:47.you lose your phone anyone would have access to your details.
:18:47. > :18:54.new software means that you enter a PIN number on your phone before you
:18:54. > :19:00.buy anything. We may even be able to get rid of the checkout process
:19:00. > :19:06.in the supermarket. They could scan their own items as they walk around
:19:06. > :19:10.the supermarket and then click to pay on their own phone.
:19:10. > :19:15.businesses could persuade us that mobile banking is secured this to
:19:15. > :19:18.be the latest big thing. There was a time when it seemed like an
:19:18. > :19:21.impossible dream. The task, to restore an old Thames sailing barge.
:19:21. > :19:24.The cost, more than �1 million. But finally, work on the barge which
:19:24. > :19:32.was built more than 100 years ago is complete. And today in Essex,
:19:32. > :19:42.she was once again on the move. Kevin Burch was there. Nestling in
:19:42. > :19:43.
:19:43. > :19:48.deep mud, the boat whose name in defeat means D C. In 2006 as she
:19:48. > :19:53.celebrated one century at sea that is when the restoration started but
:19:53. > :20:00.when they peeled back the layers they realised just how fragile she
:20:00. > :20:04.had become. Rainwater had gotten down into every part of her. You
:20:04. > :20:11.would see one piece of timber that looked OK on the surface but if you
:20:11. > :20:15.turned it over it was all spongy. It had to be rebuilt with lottery
:20:15. > :20:22.funding. It has now been given a new lease of life and will once
:20:22. > :20:28.again be able to take children on many sailing voyages to get a taste
:20:28. > :20:33.of life on the ocean wave. They are promised five days in another world.
:20:33. > :20:40.They each get their own sea chest and all get hammocks which sway
:20:40. > :20:46.with emotion which is very good at staving off the sea sickness.
:20:46. > :20:55.back to basics. No mobile phones. We tried to teach them basic things
:20:55. > :21:01.about what is there for the taking. Something like this is unique. Once
:21:01. > :21:06.you have had a day on them and you see what you can do the whole
:21:06. > :21:16.ambience is wonderful. This afternoon with the tide high the
:21:16. > :21:17.
:21:17. > :21:20.ship finally left to get back on the water where she truly belongs.
:21:20. > :21:23.If you know anything about horses, you will know it's best not to race
:21:23. > :21:26.them when the ground is hard. It's just too dangerous. That's why
:21:26. > :21:31.organisers of this year's point to point meeting at Marks Tey in Essex
:21:31. > :21:41.had a bit of a problem. Conditions were bad for horses. But luckily,
:21:41. > :21:53.
:21:53. > :21:59.they were good for camels. Mike Camels. They are not local but
:21:59. > :22:04.apparently 0.2. Racing is not what it used to be. Entries for this
:22:04. > :22:14.race were well down so they decided to try something different. Camel
:22:14. > :22:17.
:22:17. > :22:22.racing. The ground being so hard we did not want to risk running horses.
:22:22. > :22:31.It was not just camel racing, there was also pony racing which was
:22:31. > :22:36.quite unusual in itself. The first race was won by a French rider. He
:22:36. > :22:43.did not speak any English and my French is not good. We struggled to
:22:43. > :22:49.understand each other. Back to the camels. It was race time.
:22:49. > :22:54.Apparently they do like today's but skiing can be tricky. You have got
:22:54. > :23:00.to sit down, get their heads straight and go for it. It is a lot
:23:00. > :23:10.of fun, you must have a go. Happily there were some young farmers
:23:10. > :23:13.
:23:13. > :23:20.around who are always game for a laugh. The first race was won by
:23:20. > :23:27.the key but the result did not matter so much as the taking part.
:23:27. > :23:37.Here is a jockey's eye view. Humping might be the best word.
:23:37. > :23:44.Best left to young farmers! You can tell us what riding camels is like,
:23:44. > :23:49.can you not? Years and years ago I did. I was on one female and there
:23:49. > :23:55.were seven or eight males who were very attracted to her. It is
:23:55. > :23:58.something I would rather forget! Hello, it probably feels like it
:23:58. > :24:00.hasn't stopped raining since the hose pipe ban started. Most of us
:24:00. > :24:04.had some pretty useful rainfall over the Easter weekend and we've
:24:04. > :24:06.got a whole week of April showers to come. Today, news that Anglian
:24:07. > :24:10.Water is in discussion with a neighbouring water company to
:24:11. > :24:14.import water from the Midlands. The idea is for Severn Trent to pump
:24:14. > :24:18.surplus water into the river system which could be used to supply the
:24:18. > :24:27.drier region served by Anglian Water. We'll of course keep you
:24:27. > :24:31.updated with any progress on that scheme. And of course we have got
:24:31. > :24:37.typical April weather for you this week. It is as story of sunshine
:24:37. > :24:42.and showers. We could get some heavy and thundery showers as we
:24:42. > :24:46.have had today and colder nights will return with some frost. A lot
:24:46. > :24:51.of the showers fell in the west of the region to start with today. We
:24:51. > :24:59.did get some further east with reports of thunder and even some
:24:59. > :25:04.hail. We are looking at a mostly dry night with clear skies and
:25:04. > :25:11.light winds. It will get rather cool tonight. Many locations down
