:00:13. > :00:17.Welcome to Look East. Tonight: The region's newest wind farm opens
:00:17. > :00:21.providing power for nearly 250,000 homes.
:00:21. > :00:25.18 years in jail for the gang which stole this jade from the
:00:25. > :00:29.Fitzwilliam Museum. Hundreds of mourners remember a
:00:29. > :00:39.teenager killed at a party in Essex. And the man wrongly diagnosed with
:00:39. > :00:41.
:00:41. > :00:47.heart failure and then offered Hello, first tonight, the opening
:00:47. > :00:51.of the region's newest wind farm. It is called Sheringham Shoal and
:00:52. > :00:55.it is ten miles out to sea, off the coast of Norfolk. We now have four
:00:55. > :00:58.wind farms around our coast. This latest one has cost about �1
:00:58. > :01:08.billion to build, has 88 turbines, and they claim it will produce
:01:08. > :01:09.
:01:09. > :01:14.enough power for nearly 250,000 homes.
:01:14. > :01:19.It is the latest Forest of turbines to spring up off our coast,
:01:19. > :01:23.Sheringham Shoal is a serious leak big wind farm. 88 turbines, each
:01:24. > :01:28.more than three times the height of Nelson's Column. Construction
:01:28. > :01:34.involved pioneering techniques and took three years, both offshore and
:01:34. > :01:42.onshore. And today, the Crown Prince of Norway officially opened
:01:42. > :01:51.the wind farm. This wind farm has a capacity of 370 megawatts and over
:01:51. > :01:56.a year it can produce electricity equal to 220,000 British households.
:01:56. > :02:01.The wind farm is being launched at a very posh address. Like this
:02:01. > :02:06.place, it cost a fortune to build, �1 billion. It is the latest in a
:02:06. > :02:12.string of wind farms now lining our coast.
:02:12. > :02:16.First in 2004 there was scrapie Sanz, then another off Clacton, and
:02:16. > :02:21.another completed later this year, the biggest so far, and now
:02:21. > :02:27.Sheringham Shoal. London Array off Essex will be completed soon and in
:02:27. > :02:32.three years, work should start on the giant East Anglia wind farm.
:02:32. > :02:36.Of all the offshore wind we have planned for the whole of the United
:02:36. > :02:40.Kingdom, two-thirds of it approximately is off the coast of
:02:40. > :02:46.south-east England. Sheringham Shoal is owned by Norway and most
:02:46. > :02:50.of its components were made abroad. The turbines came from Denmark. But
:02:50. > :02:56.the local economy has benefitted. This local taxi driver got the job
:02:56. > :03:05.of bringing wind farm personnel from Heathrow and Stansted and to
:03:05. > :03:10.the site. It has doubled my business. The work I cannot do I
:03:10. > :03:14.pass on to other local taxes. farm workers have also been staying
:03:14. > :03:20.in local hotels. The timing of the wind farm could not have been
:03:20. > :03:25.better. As we saw in the tourist economy, we are seeing this rise in
:03:25. > :03:30.the money that is spent with us, the wind farmers and the
:03:30. > :03:35.specialists they bring in. Critics say offshore wind is expensive and
:03:35. > :03:40.unreliable but the region's four wind farms now have the capacity to
:03:40. > :03:43.power 800,000 homes. Well, the Energy Secretary, Ed Davey, was in
:03:43. > :03:46.Holkham for the official opening of Sheringham Shoal today. I spoke to
:03:46. > :03:49.him earlier and began by asking him whether he was disappointed that
:03:49. > :03:57.the project was Norwegian owned and that the vast majority of
:03:57. > :04:02.components had been made abroad. I think Sheringham Shoal is very
:04:02. > :04:08.exciting for this region. I think we have seen 700 jobs in the
:04:08. > :04:11.construction, 50 permanent jobs, �1 billion of investment and yes, it
:04:11. > :04:15.is a partnership with Norwegian colleagues but that is great. We
:04:15. > :04:20.have had a long-standing relationship with Norway with oil
:04:20. > :04:25.and gas and we are now renewing that with renewables. But when
:04:25. > :04:28.David Cameron visited Corby last week, he visited steelworkers are
:04:28. > :04:33.there and they told him directly they had the expertise, they are
:04:33. > :04:37.frustrated, disappointed that they did not get a look-in on this.
:04:37. > :04:43.believe we need to improve the supply chain, the number of
:04:43. > :04:47.factories here in the UK, and we are working very hard. I am working
:04:47. > :04:53.with Vince Cable, the Secretary of State for Business, to make sure we
:04:53. > :04:59.can attract major investments in the UK for the factories that use
:04:59. > :05:05.the steel, that use these huge wind turbines, the gear boxes and the
:05:05. > :05:10.ships that take them out. We have had some success. For example in
:05:10. > :05:15.Great Yarmouth we have a success story. So I think we have some way
:05:15. > :05:22.to go but this is a good example of the green economy, and green jobs
:05:22. > :05:26.which are creating growth. Is it value for taxpayers' money, they?
:05:26. > :05:30.Sheringham Shoal will receive hundreds of millions of pounds of
:05:30. > :05:35.Government subsidies yet wind power itself is expensive and it is also
:05:35. > :05:42.pretty hit-and-miss, isn't it? Actually, wind power is a really
:05:42. > :05:47.important part of our electricity supply already. We are seeing --
:05:47. > :05:50.seemed over 10% of renewables with the wind the major part of that and
:05:50. > :05:56.I have been working with the offshore wind industry and they are
:05:56. > :06:00.coming up with some concrete, hard proposals to reduce costs by a
:06:00. > :06:05.third by the end of the decade, so this is really good news because it
:06:05. > :06:10.is a green industry that Britain is leading the world in and we will
:06:10. > :06:15.need to see many more Sheringham Shoals to make sure we have secured
:06:15. > :06:18.and clean energy. Thank you. You can see more on the subject of
:06:18. > :06:24.renewable energy in our region in the Sunday Politics show. That is
:06:24. > :06:27.BBC1, 11pm on Sunday. Three men and a 16 year-old boy
:06:27. > :06:30.have been sent to prison for a total of 18 years after Chinese
:06:30. > :06:34.jade valued at millions of pounds was stolen from a museum in
:06:34. > :06:43.Cambridge. It is thought the pieces were stolen to order, and they are
:06:43. > :06:48.still missing. Today they were jailed, a gang of
:06:48. > :06:55.four, here moments before breaking in. They were hired for the job. A
:06:55. > :06:59.teenage boy and three men. Among them, Robert Smith and this man.
:06:59. > :07:03.Both travellers, sentenced to six years. The judge said the men who
:07:03. > :07:08.carried out the burglary at the criminal talent to do it but what
:07:08. > :07:12.they did was cultural vandalism, handling items of great value
:07:12. > :07:18.casually, recklessly and with indifference. What they talk is
:07:18. > :07:25.effectively lost forever, the judge said. 18 jade Chinese pieces,
:07:26. > :07:30.centuries old, worth up to �50 million. Chinese artefacts sell for
:07:30. > :07:35.extremely high prices say the criminals' expectation is to jump
:07:35. > :07:40.on that gravy train, not to be able to realise the top volley of these
:07:40. > :07:47.objects, but recognising they are important pieces. They are
:07:47. > :07:51.therefore desirable and can be sold on. One of the museum's directors
:07:52. > :08:00.said in his statement in court that the crime had damaged the
:08:00. > :08:05.reputation of the museum. The jade was stolen to order. Any lines of
:08:05. > :08:09.inquiry coming to us, I cannot discuss the detail, but they will
:08:09. > :08:17.be pursued. Some pieces were probably damaged when taken, the
:08:17. > :08:22.court was told. The rest will be in private collections, not to be seen
:08:22. > :08:25.again for generations. There is lots more to come in the
:08:25. > :08:27.programme, including what tourism bosses say about next year's season.
:08:27. > :08:37.And the man wrongly diagnosed with heart failure then offered �2,000
:08:37. > :08:38.
:08:38. > :08:42.The funeral was held at today of Jay Whiston, the teenager from
:08:42. > :08:52.Essex who was stabbed to death at a party. After the service, the
:08:52. > :08:57.Methodist minister described young people who carry knives as cowards.
:08:57. > :09:04.Four Black horses pulled the hearse that carried the coffin. The coffee
:09:04. > :09:10.itself was a blue and painted with pictures of Jay Whiston's favourite
:09:10. > :09:15.TV character, the cookie Monster. A reminder that the mourners were
:09:15. > :09:20.saying goodbye to a teenager. must believe that the majority of
:09:20. > :09:25.people out there are good and do not carry knives to kill. This was
:09:25. > :09:31.the victim as a boy. He was said to be blossoming into a fine young man.
:09:31. > :09:37.He staff three weeks ago triggered a murder investigation. -- his
:09:37. > :09:42.death. He went to a party advertised on Facebook.
:09:42. > :09:46.Gatecrashers turned up. Trouble flared and he was stopped.
:09:46. > :09:53.Witnesses said he was protecting a friend. Five teenagers from
:09:53. > :09:58.Colchester are still on police bail, until October 17th. The coffin was
:09:58. > :10:04.carried into the chapel by friends. After the service, the Methodist
:10:05. > :10:08.minister expressed dismay and anger about the prevalence of knife crime.
:10:08. > :10:13.It is the second funeral for a knife victim I have taken in six
:10:13. > :10:18.months. These people are feral. Let's call them who they are,
:10:18. > :10:23.cowards. But even since this death there has been bought at least one
:10:23. > :10:26.other stabbing in Colchester. -- there has been at least one.
:10:26. > :10:30.The former leader of Essex County Council has been told to repay
:10:30. > :10:32.another �37,000 or face jail again. Last year, Lord Hanningfield was
:10:32. > :10:42.jailed for fiddling his parliamentary expenses. A judge has
:10:42. > :10:47.
:10:47. > :10:50.ordered him to pay back the money The head of a secondary school in
:10:50. > :10:53.Norfolk has been sacked. The county council confirmed that the head of
:10:53. > :10:55.Long Stratton High, Dr Paul Adams, had been dismissed for gross
:10:55. > :10:57.misconduct. The council said it had been investigating management
:10:57. > :11:00.problems at the school, but would not comment further.
:11:00. > :11:02.Tourism businesses across the region have been in Ipswich
:11:02. > :11:05.focusing on how to attract more customers in 2013. Visit East
:11:05. > :11:08.Anglia says it has been a challenging year. The bad weather
:11:08. > :11:18.and people staying at home to watch the Olympics left some business
:11:18. > :11:20.
:11:20. > :11:25.takings down by more than 10 per cent.
:11:25. > :11:30.The latest TV advert are being filmed on the Norfolk Broads,
:11:30. > :11:34.promoting the British holiday. The tourism business has seen its
:11:34. > :11:40.business growing every year. think a lot of people have seen
:11:40. > :11:47.what the UK have -- has to offer. For others it has not been so good.
:11:47. > :11:52.Wet weather, customers are strapped for cash and cancelled events. But
:11:52. > :11:57.many are optimistic. For 2013 we had greater exposure for the UK
:11:57. > :12:03.through the Olympics. We are hoping to use that word again, the legacy,
:12:03. > :12:08.it will benefit the East of England, Cambridge and the rest of the UK.
:12:08. > :12:15.Businesses from across the region's tourism industry have been in
:12:15. > :12:19.Ipswich today discussing ways of improving the next tourism season.
:12:19. > :12:23.There are 8,000 businesses involved in tourism across East Anglia. They
:12:23. > :12:27.are mostly small to medium which individually do not have the
:12:27. > :12:30.capacity to reach new visitors' right across the country and
:12:30. > :12:40.internationally but by the organisations working together they
:12:40. > :12:46.can reach those audiences. This company was one of the first to
:12:46. > :12:49.advertise boating holidays on television.
:12:49. > :12:53.A road junction in King's Lynn is to be altered after a series of
:12:53. > :12:55.accidents at the site. The county council put up cameras to monitor
:12:55. > :12:59.traffic after residents complained about the new layout in
:12:59. > :13:04.Clenchwarton Road. What they filmed has made councillors decide to
:13:04. > :13:07.redesign the junction. There has been a big rise in the
:13:07. > :13:10.number of people using the guided busway in Cambridgeshire. New
:13:10. > :13:14.figures show passenger numbers are about 40 per cent higher than
:13:14. > :13:24.expected. In the first year of operation, it was used by more than
:13:24. > :13:26.
:13:26. > :13:29.2.5 million passengers. There has been a lot to talk about
:13:29. > :13:32.in the world of football today. Progress in the Cup last night. One
:13:32. > :13:38.manager being heckled in the street and a new manager taking over at
:13:38. > :13:43.another club. The details of a busy day from Phil Daley.
:13:43. > :13:50.It Norwich City marked the passing of their fauna -- a former manager
:13:50. > :13:55.last night before their game with Spurs. Ipswich manager has revealed
:13:55. > :14:00.he has been heckled in the street following their dismal start to the
:14:00. > :14:06.season. He is preparing his team to face Barnsley on Saturday. He has
:14:06. > :14:11.also received messages of support from former managers. I am not daft.
:14:11. > :14:18.I am not everyone's cup of tea. I will do my best to try to turn
:14:18. > :14:24.things around. The only way I can change people's opinions is by
:14:24. > :14:27.doing this. And Colchester United unveiled the Joan Turner as their
:14:27. > :14:32.new permanent manager, just three days after the sacking of John Ward.
:14:32. > :14:35.The former assistant has been on the coaching staff for ten years
:14:35. > :14:41.and says he could not pass up the opportunity of leading the team he
:14:41. > :14:45.loves. He offered me the job and it was a simple "yes". Based on all
:14:45. > :14:51.the years as a coach. I thought this was the right moment for me. I
:14:51. > :15:01.did not need to think about it or anything like that. And the manager
:15:01. > :15:02.
:15:03. > :15:10.has wasted no time at all. Today he signed a striker from MK Dons as
:15:10. > :15:13.well as two young Arsenal players. Across the BBC Today, we have been
:15:13. > :15:19.talking about how the planned changes to the NHS will affect us
:15:19. > :15:22.all. Our chief reporter is here to explain more in a moment.
:15:22. > :15:26.One of the most controversial aims of the shake-up of the NHS by the
:15:26. > :15:29.coalition is a greater role for the private sector. Victor Gardner is a
:15:29. > :15:37.retired plumber from March in Cambridgeshire. He got in touch
:15:37. > :15:42.about his experience with one private company.
:15:42. > :15:50.Victor has enough paperwork to last him a lifetime. In March, he went
:15:50. > :15:56.to his GP with breathing problems. His GP referred him to his local
:15:56. > :15:59.community hospital. The investigation was carried out by a
:15:59. > :16:06.private firm based in Cambridgeshire. Victor then
:16:06. > :16:15.received a letter from the company telling him he had severe heart
:16:15. > :16:20.failure. My initial thought is what am are going to tell my wife? I
:16:20. > :16:25.felt a bit worried but I knew my wife would be even more worried.
:16:25. > :16:29.Victor went on to medication for the heart problem. He had a second
:16:29. > :16:35.investigation carried out by the private company, which contradicted
:16:35. > :16:38.the first Test. He then had numerous appointments at NHS
:16:38. > :16:42.hospitals and eventually it was confirmed he did not have a heart
:16:42. > :16:48.problem at all. He asked the private company for compensation
:16:48. > :16:55.and in July they offered �2,000. He was advised not to accept the offer.
:16:55. > :17:00.I was so angry about what I had gone through. I think the
:17:00. > :17:06.excitement of not having heart failure was not as good as you
:17:06. > :17:11.would think it would be, and then I had the worry of the who is right
:17:11. > :17:15.and he is wrong. Tonight Cambridgeshire Community Services
:17:15. > :17:20.NHS Trust told Look East, we are aware of the complaint and
:17:20. > :17:24.apologise on behalf of the company that provided the service at the
:17:24. > :17:30.time of the complaint for any distress caused. We are undertaking
:17:30. > :17:35.a full investigation. The private company told us, if we are in any
:17:35. > :17:39.doubt following investigation, it is our duty to refer the patient on
:17:39. > :17:43.for further investigation. That is what happened here. Victor feels
:17:43. > :17:52.angry about all the wasted time and worry. He just wants to know what
:17:52. > :17:57.went wrong. When the history of the NHS is
:17:57. > :18:02.written there will be a section about the Cambridge rare MP and
:18:02. > :18:05.former health secretary, Andrew Lansley. It was he who got the
:18:05. > :18:08.Health and Social Care Bill through the Commons and it made him
:18:08. > :18:12.unpopular with some health professionals. Over the next two
:18:12. > :18:17.years the whole make-up of the NHS will be transformed.
:18:17. > :18:27.For years now, we have talked about local primary care trusts and
:18:27. > :18:28.
:18:28. > :18:31.strategic health authorities. No In come new clinical commissioning
:18:31. > :18:34.groups. They will be led by GPs. They will commission local health
:18:34. > :18:36.services and together spend the lion's share of the NHS budget. At
:18:36. > :18:39.national level, a new NHS Commissioning Board will oversee
:18:39. > :18:42.the service and Healthwatch England is intended as a new independent
:18:42. > :18:44.consumer champion. Another key feature, as we have already
:18:44. > :18:46.mentioned, more competition, more services provided in the private
:18:46. > :18:54.sector, though extra safeguards have been added to the legislation
:18:54. > :19:00.after fierce opposition. So what is the likely impact of
:19:00. > :19:05.this shake-up on all of us? There is an independent charity working
:19:05. > :19:10.for better health. That is the big question. A lot of
:19:10. > :19:14.the stuff going on is under the bonnet stuff and it will take a few
:19:14. > :19:18.years before it kicks in but in the short-term at least, what will have
:19:18. > :19:22.a bigger impact on things that really mattered to patients is the
:19:22. > :19:26.financial challenge that the NHS is going through. That is, for the
:19:26. > :19:31.first year or so at least, going to have a bigger impact on patients
:19:31. > :19:37.than reforms. Still talking of change, it is called Healthier
:19:37. > :19:41.Together. These five hospitals are at the centre of a major review led
:19:41. > :19:45.by hospital consultants and GPs. All will keep their A&E departments
:19:45. > :19:49.but some will lose various specialist services.
:19:49. > :19:54.For most patients most of the time, we will aim to keep care as close
:19:54. > :19:58.as it already is to home, if not closer, moving it out into the
:19:58. > :20:01.community for at patience and diagnostics, but for some in-
:20:01. > :20:04.patient services, patients may have to move to one of the other
:20:04. > :20:09.hospitals in the patch other than their local hospital to get that
:20:09. > :20:14.extra quality of care that we will be able to provide.
:20:14. > :20:19.For those arriving for this evening's public meeting, all that
:20:19. > :20:23.is a lot to get to grips with. asked a lot of questions and I am
:20:23. > :20:27.not always convinced that the people in these organisations
:20:27. > :20:32.actually know the answers. There is so much change and not enough
:20:32. > :20:42.funding going round that it makes it very difficult for the NHS staff.
:20:42. > :20:58.
:20:58. > :21:03.We asked for your views on the These next to viewer is a diabetic.
:21:03. > :21:13.This viewer criticises his local hospital for withdrawing a
:21:13. > :21:15.
:21:15. > :21:21.telephone hotline for patients with This viewer e-mailed in to say she
:21:21. > :21:27.had just had her baby at the Lister Hospital on Saturday. She felt the

:21:31. > :21:36.-- set the care she received was amazing. You can get more
:21:36. > :21:39.information on the future of the NHS on our website.
:21:39. > :21:41.Many sports clubs across the region are at the limits of their
:21:41. > :21:46.resources because of an unprecedented uptake in demand
:21:46. > :21:50.after the Olympics. The rowing club in Milton Keynes has been forced to
:21:50. > :21:54.close its doors to newcomers and has 100 people on a waiting list.
:21:54. > :22:04.It is a similar story at the rowing club in Bedford, which is where our
:22:04. > :22:06.
:22:06. > :22:11.reporter is now. Good evening. This place has seen
:22:11. > :22:15.170 calls since the Olympics and Paralympics. The people behind me
:22:15. > :22:20.taking part are some of the many taking part on the refresher
:22:20. > :22:24.courses. Others have come here for the first time. It is getting dark
:22:25. > :22:29.now but they are training for the next couple of Arras. It is
:22:29. > :22:34.fascinating to see so many people come down here. How ready were you
:22:34. > :22:44.for the post Olympic rushed? Fairly well prepared because last year we
:22:44. > :22:45.
:22:45. > :22:49.got the new boats. Coaches were the problem but we managed to train up
:22:49. > :22:55.enough courage is to cope with the influx. But it is a bit of a mixed
:22:55. > :23:01.picture because some clubs in Milton Keynes have been unsupported,
:23:02. > :23:09.others have coped. Yes, we have coped. We anticipated a big
:23:09. > :23:14.increase. Claudia, you have had an experience. What have the first few
:23:14. > :23:20.weeks been like? It is really good. It is a lot harder than you think
:23:20. > :23:24.it will be. There is a lot of technique but it is really good fun.
:23:24. > :23:31.What has been the most surprising? A lot of people say they will do it
:23:31. > :23:35.and never do. I just watched it on the television, was inspired at had
:23:35. > :23:45.brilliantly we did and I just went on fire and said, I am going to
:23:45. > :23:49.have a go at that. -- I went online. Are we will be rowing in the dark
:23:49. > :23:52.but the boats have lights on so that is OK. We will be following
:23:52. > :23:55.this closely over the next few months.
:23:55. > :23:58.The makers of a battery-powered car from Norfolk claimed to have set a
:23:58. > :24:01.new UK land speed record for an electric vehicle. The car, known as
:24:01. > :24:11.the nemesis, reached 148mph at an airfield near York, beating the old
:24:11. > :24:18.
:24:18. > :24:24.record by 11mph. Our reporter was there.
:24:24. > :24:29.This man is at the wheel of a vehicle that may not sound like a
:24:29. > :24:37.supercar but certainly behaves like one. The speed on the first leg
:24:37. > :24:43.tops 145, and on the return, he goes even faster. And a new record,
:24:43. > :24:48.148mph. Yes, they have done it. You have broken the record. But what is
:24:48. > :24:53.it like to drive? Very different. Phenomenally quick. It feels
:24:53. > :25:00.different to any sort of racing car I have ever driven. The
:25:00. > :25:06.acceleration is phenomenal. It has been a labour of love and money to
:25:06. > :25:13.convert this car, bought from eBay, into a record-breaker. The company
:25:13. > :25:19.behind it, Ecotricity, is a green energy firm and once Nemesis to
:25:19. > :25:23.challenge perceptions that green cars are slow. We need to get a bit
:25:23. > :25:28.of attention for green cars and get people thinking about them in a
:25:28. > :25:34.different way. They are as good as anything else on the road today.
:25:34. > :25:44.The new record has to be officially ratified but if it is, Nemesis will
:25:44. > :25:50.
:25:50. > :25:55.have achieved it not with a bank A lot more sunshine today than the
:25:55. > :26:01.last few days and that is a sign of things to come for the weekend.
:26:01. > :26:06.Plenty of sunshine breaking through the cloud. The band of thicker
:26:06. > :26:11.cloud drifting in from the West through the afternoon. The showers
:26:11. > :26:17.moved across western parts of the region through the afternoon. The
:26:17. > :26:22.isolated shower possible this evening. One or two of the showers
:26:22. > :26:29.still left around in the East but generally clearing away by midnight.
:26:29. > :26:35.A bit of missed possible towards the end of the night. A light
:26:35. > :26:41.south-westerly wind. A bit milder near the coast. For tomorrow, this
:26:41. > :26:44.cold front is pushing down from the North West. That will bring more
:26:44. > :26:49.cloud and patchy rain. Some bright spells in the morning but light
:26:49. > :26:53.rain across the front as it moves through from west to east. Behind
:26:53. > :27:03.it bright and sunny spells developing in the afternoon. But a
:27:03. > :27:07.little cooler. The wind will pick up a bit from the West, South West.
:27:07. > :27:11.Sunny spells through the evening on Friday but after that weather front
:27:11. > :27:15.pushes through, high-pressure edging back in from the South West
:27:15. > :27:20.and that will bring us better weather, but there is the next
:27:20. > :27:25.weather system, bringing us some rain by Sunday. Sunny spells on
