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