:01:04. > :01:08.million. First tonight: The death of a baby

:01:08. > :01:13.during a botched forceps delivery. A coroner says Frank Gamble might have

:01:13. > :01:22.survived if he had been given the appropriate care. He died at

:01:22. > :01:30.Colchester Hospital after the forceps fractured his skull. His

:01:30. > :01:34.family are now considering legal action against the health trust.

:01:35. > :01:41.Tracy and John Gamble leaving the hearing. The coroner said that if he

:01:41. > :01:45.had lived, their son would have been much loved. Frank Gamble died from a

:01:45. > :01:54.brain leak. His skull was fractured during a botched delivery at

:01:54. > :01:57.Colchester Hospital. An independent expert told the hearing that either

:01:57. > :02:02.excessive force or protect it had been used. He said the family had

:02:02. > :02:08.not received the standard of care they had deserved. The consultant

:02:08. > :02:12.who performed the delivery is now on restricted duties. He told an

:02:12. > :02:17.earlier hearing he had made hundreds of forceps deliveries before this

:02:17. > :02:23.one and had never failed. He made three attempts to use the forceps.

:02:23. > :02:33.That is a's hearing, he said that after the first failed attempt he

:02:33. > :02:41.

:02:41. > :02:46.should have opted for a Caesarean family's legal representative made a

:02:46. > :02:53.statement on their behalf, saying that they were disappointed that the

:02:53. > :02:57.coroner was not even more critical. That day last year will haunt John

:02:57. > :03:01.and Tracey and their family for the rest of their lives. They are

:03:01. > :03:05.disappointed in the verdict, but hope that lessons will be learned

:03:05. > :03:10.from their personal tragedy so that no other family has two experienced

:03:10. > :03:14.the devastation they have endured. The hospital pass on its

:03:14. > :03:19.condolences, and said it had learned as much as it possibly could from

:03:19. > :03:24.bank Gamble's death. Meanwhile, his family are considering legal action

:03:24. > :03:28.against the health trust. Ofsted has told Norfolk County

:03:28. > :03:30.Council it needs to do more to support its schools. The report

:03:30. > :03:33.released this afternoon says the council's "arrangements for

:03:33. > :03:36.supporting school improvement are ineffective" and it needs to "do

:03:36. > :03:45.more to challenge underperforming schools." So how did we get to this

:03:45. > :03:50.point? Simon Newton reports. There have been concerns about

:03:50. > :03:54.schools in Norfolk for several years, with inspectors worried that

:03:54. > :03:59.the county's education system is slipping behind the rest of the

:03:59. > :04:04.nation, especially in maths and English. Achievement levels are not

:04:04. > :04:09.as good as they should be, and people think that because it is a

:04:09. > :04:15.nice and pretty part of the world it should do well, it is not. In March,

:04:15. > :04:19.Ofsted launched many inspections, visiting 28 Norfolk schools in one

:04:19. > :04:25.week. The results were not good, with three out of five bowling

:04:25. > :04:29.short. Six schools ended up in special measures. The former

:04:29. > :04:33.director of children's services found herself under pressure.

:04:33. > :04:39.have the aim of getting to national average, in terms of the number of

:04:39. > :04:42.schools that are judged to be either good or outstanding by 2015. But she

:04:42. > :04:49.did not last that long. Nine MPs demanded she resigned, and within

:04:49. > :04:52.weeks, she was gone. In June, Ofsted arrived in Norfolk again, this time

:04:52. > :04:55.to assess whether the local authority itself was doing enough.

:04:55. > :04:58.Today we found out that there was improvement, but that the council

:04:58. > :05:01.needs to get tough with failing schools.

:05:01. > :05:10.Councillor Mick castle is the Cabinet member for schools at

:05:10. > :05:13.Norfolk County Council. Late this afternoon, I asked him if he was

:05:13. > :05:19.disappointed that the recovery plan that they have put in place did not

:05:20. > :05:23.get a better reception. The basic idea of better and excellent schools

:05:23. > :05:28.helping schools that are in need of improvement is not a bad one, but we

:05:28. > :05:33.obviously have to do more than just that. The improvement board has only

:05:34. > :05:39.just been set up, so actually, it is reasonably on fear to commend when

:05:39. > :05:45.they did with their authority, because it was so soon after the

:05:45. > :05:49.completion of the plan. Everyday is important to someone who is an

:05:49. > :05:55.education in Norfolk. A few months is vital. And a couple of years is

:05:55. > :06:02.absolutely. Surely Ofsted are to come in and inspect US soon as they

:06:02. > :06:10.want to? Yes, if it has got a purpose. And I think what I would be

:06:10. > :06:16.looking to do now is to treat this as just a moment, because we have to

:06:16. > :06:21.concentrate on delivering the plan, and contemplating having a

:06:21. > :06:24.succession of inspections does not help. You have had this report for

:06:24. > :06:28.some time. Is that what the former director of children's services

:06:28. > :06:38.stood down? Because she knew this was coming, and you knew this was

:06:38. > :06:38.

:06:38. > :06:42.coming? No. There is not a link with her. I think, in many respects, she

:06:42. > :06:46.was unfairly treated by the media and by some of our Norfolk MPs. The

:06:46. > :06:50.fact is that we have got an inadequate situation with regards to

:06:50. > :06:54.standards in many of our schools, and we need to address it. We have

:06:54. > :06:59.certainly got an issue with safeguarding. We need to improve

:06:59. > :07:05.strategies. We are not going to just leave the schools in the lurch. We

:07:05. > :07:09.need to make sure that we have the services from the County Council to

:07:09. > :07:12.enable governors of schools and headteachers to get the kind of

:07:12. > :07:17.expert advice and guidance that they need, and the resources that they

:07:17. > :07:23.need. Where are these resources going to come from? The council is

:07:23. > :07:33.having to make cuts. I will tell you after we've done our budget, but to

:07:33. > :07:35.

:07:35. > :07:45.be honest, the Government is asking a very exacting job as councillors.

:07:45. > :07:45.

:07:45. > :07:51.182,000,003 years is a colossal sum. So, will you give me a reassurance

:07:51. > :07:55.that things will be good in three years? And would love to see some

:07:55. > :08:01.improvement by then. If there is not, I will have to fall on my

:08:01. > :08:06.sword. I got elected to do this job and any to do it. I need to do it.

:08:06. > :08:09.Thank you. The owners of a former sand quarry

:08:09. > :08:12.in Norfolk, where two people drowned, have been in safety talks

:08:12. > :08:15.this afternoon. The bodies of a 41-year-old man from King's Lynn,

:08:15. > :08:18.and a 16-year-old boy from Ely, were pulled from Bawsey Pits near King's

:08:18. > :08:25.Lynn on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Norfolk Fire Service Dive unit is

:08:25. > :08:31.keen to get its own message across. They showed us exactly what has

:08:31. > :08:35.beneath the water. The Norfolk Fire service is

:08:35. > :08:39.releasing these photos in the hope that it will save lives. This diver

:08:39. > :08:44.is emerging from the water just after finding the body of the 16

:08:44. > :08:49.your old. You can see that the weight of it will cause you

:08:49. > :08:56.problems. Most of the plant matter was removed before he came out. He

:08:56. > :09:05.had to be cut free. You are really restricted in movement. The

:09:05. > :09:14.entanglement is everywhere. If you're swimming and panicking,

:09:14. > :09:20.things were very rapidly spiral out of control. Today, people continue

:09:20. > :09:23.to swim despite two drownings at Bawsey Pits on the same day. The

:09:23. > :09:28.16-year-old was the same distance away from the short-lived as the

:09:28. > :09:34.swimmers were when he got into difficulty. With signs already

:09:34. > :09:37.banning swimming, the owners held meetings with police today to see

:09:37. > :09:42.its safety could be improved. They spoke for the first time delay since

:09:42. > :09:48.the tragedy. Our sympathies and thoughts go out to the two families

:09:48. > :09:52.and their friends who were involved in this. We have no powers to stop

:09:52. > :09:57.people from going into waters. It is as simple as that. We need to come

:09:57. > :10:02.up with a better solution. This footage was filmed at the Norfolk

:10:02. > :10:12.Abroad. It is typical of our waterways, which are simple on the

:10:12. > :10:15.surface but treacherous beneath. you cut yourself away, because we

:10:15. > :10:21.find in the Broads there is a lot of fishing wire, we need all this

:10:21. > :10:30.stuff. Allen hopes that if one life is safe to this message today, it

:10:30. > :10:34.will be worth it. You know, you're not going to make it out. Today,

:10:34. > :10:44.flowers have been laid in memory of the 16-year-old and the 40-year-old

:10:44. > :10:47.who died. The final words, "rest in peace, both of you."

:10:47. > :10:51.A company's been ordered to pay almost �200,000 after a girl drowned

:10:51. > :10:54.at a swimming pool in Essex. Seven year old Michelle Jellard died at

:10:54. > :10:56.the Blackwater Leisure Centre in Maldon five years ago. The firm

:10:56. > :11:06.which ran the pool, Leisure Connection, admitted failing to

:11:06. > :11:17.

:11:17. > :11:27.cooler weekend ahead. And the primary school art prodigy

:11:27. > :11:32.

:11:32. > :11:34.whose earnings have talked �1.1 million.

:11:34. > :11:37.We're expecting confirmation tomorrow that a second runway at

:11:37. > :11:40.Stansted Airport is technically possible, but that the owners have

:11:40. > :11:43.no plans to build one in the forseeable future. The owners of the

:11:43. > :11:47.airport will be giving evidence to a Government commission which is

:11:47. > :11:50.looking at the whole issue of air capacity in the South East. But

:11:50. > :11:54.while some people want to see extra runways in our region, the airports

:11:54. > :11:58.themselves appear to be quite happy with what they've got.

:11:58. > :12:02.The issue of a second runway at Stansted has been living up the

:12:02. > :12:07.agenda lately. There is no capacity crisis at the moment, but many in

:12:07. > :12:12.the industry say that in 15 or 20 years time, there will be a sausage.

:12:12. > :12:16.This week, two important players that Stansted in the foreground.

:12:16. > :12:23.They say there should be a second runway at Stansted. This man would

:12:23. > :12:30.like to see as many as four. I think the benefits would be enormous. We

:12:30. > :12:35.are talking about 375,000 jobs, and an addition to the UK economy of

:12:35. > :12:39.millions of pounds. But Stansted is not keen on the idea. Tomorrow, its

:12:39. > :12:44.new owners will submit their plans to the commission. I am told that

:12:44. > :12:48.they will say they could have another runway, but are not planning

:12:48. > :12:53.on it. Instead, they will point out that the existing runway has the

:12:53. > :12:56.existing capacity to take up to 45 million people at the moment. Means

:12:56. > :13:01.well, another airport in the region told the commission today that it

:13:01. > :13:08.too has space to expand. We have not put in any submission saying we

:13:08. > :13:15.would like a bigger runway or anything. At Southend, in the 1980s

:13:15. > :13:19.and before, the runway was much, much busier. We are making the best

:13:19. > :13:23.use of it. Any final decision is still a long way off. The region's

:13:23. > :13:30.airports are prepared to play their part, but the extra runways are a

:13:30. > :13:35.step too far. Andrew is here now. Why is Stansted

:13:35. > :13:45.so reluctant? I think they would build it if they were told to, but

:13:45. > :13:46.

:13:46. > :13:48.they are not going to campaign for it. First of all, they have new

:13:48. > :13:51.owners, and they want to concentrate on growing the business that they

:13:51. > :13:55.have got. Also, they see things from a Northern perspective. They do not

:13:55. > :13:58.believe southern expansion is to be all and end all. The airport got its

:13:58. > :14:03.hands badly burned last time around. It invested billions of

:14:03. > :14:09.pounds drawing up runway plans that would then abandoned. And what about

:14:09. > :14:15.the other airport in our region? Luton airport has submitted a

:14:15. > :14:20.request to extend its runway. The other one, near the coast, is that

:14:20. > :14:23.Boris Johnson is going off the idea of putting it off the coast of

:14:23. > :14:26.Southend and wants to predict in Kent.

:14:26. > :14:29.A Police and Crime Commissioner in this region is warning that his

:14:29. > :14:33.force to "juggling with higher risks" as officers try to hold the

:14:33. > :14:37.front line and protect the public. Olly Martins was speaking on the day

:14:37. > :14:40.a report came out on how police forces are have coped with cuts in

:14:40. > :14:43.spending. Olly Martins says in his force, police officers are having to

:14:43. > :14:50.work through breaks and rest days are being cancelled as they struggle

:14:50. > :14:54.to cope. Life on the front-line has never

:14:54. > :14:59.been easy, but police say they are increasingly under pressure from

:14:59. > :15:05.cuts. In Bedfordshire, the challenges are tough. Luton is a

:15:05. > :15:09.hotspot. This force has done well to become efficient and effective. But

:15:09. > :15:14.it says Bedfordshire has literally nothing left to give when it faces

:15:14. > :15:19.the next round of cuts. There is no doubt that we will be juggling with

:15:19. > :15:25.higher risks and that is a place that I do not want to go. I do not

:15:25. > :15:29.think the Government should be allowing us to go there. We will be

:15:29. > :15:35.doing everything we can to protect them. We are protecting the public

:15:35. > :15:38.of Bedfordshire. What if you cannot do what you want to do? We will be

:15:38. > :15:45.speaking to politicians, the commission will be speaking to the

:15:45. > :15:49.Home Secretary. The report says, in contrast, Northamptonshire police

:15:49. > :15:57.have struggled to do well. They did not have a clear sense of direction.

:15:57. > :15:59.Performance was poor. We accept the report and we have moved on. Our

:15:59. > :16:04.performance is significantly better. Any organisation needs to be

:16:04. > :16:08.honest about anything that can be improved. The report notes that

:16:08. > :16:14.Hertfordshire police no longer collaborate with Cambridge and

:16:14. > :16:21.Bedfordshire. Essex Police are delivering comprehensive change and

:16:21. > :16:24.improving. Norfolk has the top place for feeling safe. If forces are

:16:24. > :16:28.going to continue to have their funding reduced into the next

:16:28. > :16:31.spending period, which is after March 2015, the whole of the service

:16:31. > :16:36.must come together to look at a better way of distributing those

:16:36. > :16:41.cuts. Back in Bedfordshire, it has been revealed that police ambers are

:16:41. > :16:44.so tight that officers are skipping breaks and rest days are being

:16:44. > :16:53.cancelled. With nothing much left to cut, cuts to the front-line are

:16:53. > :16:56.unlikely. -- likely. And now to the story of Keiron

:16:56. > :17:02.Williamson, the boy who is so good at art that he has made millions of

:17:02. > :17:09.pounds from his paintings. He had its first exhibition at the age of

:17:09. > :17:14.seven. Tomorrow, another exhibition opens at a local gallery. His family

:17:14. > :17:24.and Keiron Williamson are there now. Kieran, let's begin with you. How

:17:24. > :17:30.

:17:30. > :17:34.has your painting changed over the it's got a lot better. And I've got

:17:34. > :17:41.a lot more understanding for the landscape. The ones behind you look

:17:41. > :17:46.great. Thank you.Kieran, when people talk about your paintings,

:17:46. > :17:54.they also talk about money. Is that a good thing as far as you are

:17:54. > :18:00.concerned? It is... All right if the money does not overtake the of the

:18:00. > :18:04.paintings. Michelle, let's talked to you about this money then. We get

:18:04. > :18:06.lots of young people who make money for they are still at school and

:18:06. > :18:14.then they get annoyed with how their parents handle it. Have you thought

:18:14. > :18:18.about that? We had to join a very steep learning curve from the

:18:18. > :18:24.beginning of his career where we were advised from, advised by a

:18:24. > :18:28.group of solicitors on how we have to handle Kieran's money, so we were

:18:28. > :18:37.quite fortunate in that we took the right path at the beginning and made

:18:37. > :18:47.the investments that we save for the future. What is your biggest fear?

:18:47. > :18:50.That he would perhaps be exploited at a later stage? Yes. He is

:18:50. > :18:54.protected by British legislation as a child, so the decisions that we

:18:54. > :18:59.make on his behalf at this moment in time will have future consequences.

:18:59. > :19:03.So, everything that we do is overseen by a team of solicitors

:19:03. > :19:08.that specialise in this legislation and also an accountant that has that

:19:08. > :19:13.speciality as well. Keith, we are just looking at some lovely

:19:13. > :19:20.pictures. You must be immensely proud. We are so proud of him. He

:19:20. > :19:25.works very hard at what he does and if he is not paid, he will still be

:19:25. > :19:30.sketching. He still has a childhood. He still plays football and go

:19:30. > :19:34.cycling and he loved swimming. He is just a normal boy. How easy is it to

:19:34. > :19:42.achieve that balance between painting and success and, as you

:19:42. > :19:48.say, doing things that other young boys are doing? Well, we only sell

:19:48. > :19:54.paintings... There is no pressure on him to paint. We only sell them when

:19:54. > :20:02.they are there. People have weeks on end when he will paint, and then he

:20:02. > :20:08.will not paint for a while. Kieran, just tell me, what do your friends

:20:08. > :20:17.think of all of this? Well, when we were filming in the Park the other

:20:17. > :20:22.night, or are they still filming that? But when the got back, he

:20:22. > :20:26.didn't really -- but when they returned, they did not really talk

:20:26. > :20:35.about it. They were more worried about the football. Did they know

:20:35. > :20:40.you were a millionaire? I do not know. They will today! But you still

:20:40. > :20:48.enjoy doing it, still enjoy painting? Yes, I love it.And you

:20:48. > :20:57.will carry on? Yes, definitely.Just tell us when people can come and see

:20:57. > :21:06.the pictures at this gallery. Tomorrow. Listen, thank you. You

:21:06. > :21:12.want to say something else? Nine o'clock tomorrow. Get the plug-in.

:21:12. > :21:15.You are learning all of the tricks! We hope it goes very well for you. I

:21:15. > :21:25.wish I had saved the painting that you did when you came into the Look

:21:25. > :21:29.East studio all of those years ago. Wonderful to talk to you.

:21:29. > :21:32.The hot weather has left many of us looking for ways to cool down, but

:21:32. > :21:36.the number of open air swimming pools or lidos has halved in our

:21:36. > :21:39.region over the past 13 years. Now there are just seven, spread across

:21:39. > :21:43.Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex and Suffolk. Most of the lidos were

:21:43. > :21:47.built in 80 or 90 years ago, in the 20s and 30s. In their heyday, they

:21:47. > :21:51.were popular places to meet member of the opposite sex. The Beccles

:21:51. > :22:01.Lido in Suffolk reopened three years ago. Mike Liggins has spent the day

:22:01. > :22:15.

:22:15. > :22:22.A great July morning, and at 7:30am, the early risers are at the gate.

:22:22. > :22:27.They are all laughing at me! This woman arrives in her dressing gown,

:22:27. > :22:31.to the amusement of her friends. The swimmers pay �40 per summer and

:22:31. > :22:41.post, every morning. Brenda can remember when the Lido opened in

:22:41. > :22:47.

:22:47. > :22:52.1959. We went around the pool in a swimsuit. I came third in a race.

:22:52. > :23:00.The Lido 's oldest customer is payment. He is 91 and as 12 length

:23:00. > :23:06.six days a week, but not on Sunday. By 11am, the sun is out. The Lido's

:23:06. > :23:16.youngest customer, three-month-old Tabatha, is enjoying herself. There

:23:33. > :23:40.They bought it for �1, raised money, and no attendance figures are going

:23:40. > :23:47.through the roof. Much of the work is done by this woman. You know, it

:23:47. > :23:52.is a continuous sort of cajoling and advertising thing, saying that

:23:52. > :23:57.people can be part of it, that it is their swimming pool. Fundraising

:23:57. > :24:02.pays for the nice to have things, like the giant inflatable. Up to

:24:02. > :24:07.eight and a half thousand people per week will visit during the holidays.

:24:07. > :24:16.This Lido appears to have it sorted, but it does take a lot of hard work.

:24:16. > :24:19.When the sun shines, the hard work is worth it.

:24:19. > :24:29.There is something about the Lido that you do not get indoors, is

:24:29. > :24:31.there not? Apart from the smell. I love the smell. Also, you are

:24:31. > :24:36.everyone's favourite person at the everyone's favourite person at the

:24:36. > :24:41.moment. Hello. The high pressure is still very well

:24:41. > :24:46.established. A north-easterly breeze has helped temperatures back a

:24:46. > :24:52.little bit. It is just 17 degrees in some places. But there is sunshine

:24:52. > :24:56.everywhere now. There was a misty staff are some of us, especially

:24:56. > :25:04.across Norfolk this morning. That ended with fine sunshine and warm

:25:04. > :25:08.this evening. So, clear spells start our evening, and it is likely to

:25:08. > :25:13.stay warm mist in the West. Temperatures will stay in the mid

:25:13. > :25:18.teens. Across the eastern half, will start to see some low cloud and some

:25:18. > :25:23.mist forming. It will little further inland. Across the eastern half it

:25:23. > :25:28.will be cooler, a low of 12 or 13 degrees, making it a bit more of a

:25:28. > :25:33.comfortable night. So, into tomorrow, we are off to a bright

:25:33. > :25:37.start. It should burn back to the coast, and then we will see long

:25:37. > :25:41.spells of warm sunshine. Temperature wise, we are still looking in the

:25:41. > :25:45.high 20s across the western half, with the eastern half slightly

:25:45. > :25:50.cooler and with a north-easterly breeze that will freshen through the

:25:50. > :25:56.day. That will make it a little cooler around the coast. But we end

:25:56. > :25:59.the day with plenty of sunshine. Looking ahead, the high pressure is

:25:59. > :26:02.shifting slightly, and the significance of this is more of an

:26:03. > :26:08.easterly flow, and that will cool things down a bit. It will also

:26:08. > :26:13.bring us rather a lot of cloud. So, to start our weekend, it could be

:26:13. > :26:17.quite cloudy, especially across the eastern half. But do not despair,

:26:17. > :26:21.because that does not mean it will stay cloudy for all of Saturday. If

:26:21. > :26:25.you live in the western half, I think you will see my sunshine. It

:26:25. > :26:30.could stay quite cloudy for much of Essex to the morning. Into Sunday, a

:26:30. > :26:34.better chance of seeing sunshine, still some early mist and

:26:34. > :26:39.tragically, temperatures hotting up a bit. The humidity is expected to

:26:39. > :26:42.rise next week. With the humidity, it does increase the risk of some

:26:42. > :26:46.thunderstorms, so we could start to see some heavy downpours into next

:26:46. > :26:51.week. Looking at our overnight temperatures, we do see it is a

:26:51. > :26:55.little cooler overnight and a little more comfortable. And then is that

:26:55. > :27:00.humidity rises, it means that fairly sticky night. We have a barometer

:27:00. > :27:05.reading for you tonight of 1026 reading for you tonight of 1026
