:00:08. > :00:11.Susie and me. In the programme tonight, how our
:00:11. > :00:14.region is being transformed by wind power.
:00:14. > :00:19.Today's official opening of the Greater Gabbard network cements our
:00:19. > :00:22.reputation as the European leader in renewable energy.
:00:22. > :00:31.I meet the Energy Minister, who tells me that wind farms are
:00:31. > :00:35.delivering jobs. It's extraordinary to see people who
:00:35. > :00:37.thought their careers as fishermen were over now powering the boats
:00:37. > :00:40.that have the service these wind farms every day.
:00:40. > :00:47.We've got all the goal action from last night's cup football, including
:00:47. > :00:57.an embarrassing exit by Ipswich Town.
:00:57. > :01:00.
:01:00. > :01:02.And the business revival fuelled by these fields of beautiful flowers.
:01:02. > :01:05.We start tonight with a major milestone in the region's
:01:05. > :01:08.development of wind power. The official opening today of the
:01:08. > :01:16.Greater Gabbard offshore wind farm cements our reputation as a European
:01:16. > :01:20.leader in renewable energy. Here are some facts about the wind
:01:20. > :01:25.farm. It sits on sandbanks about 14 miles off the coast of Suffolk. It
:01:25. > :01:30.has 140 turbines and cost �1.6 billion to build. And here's the
:01:30. > :01:34.important bit - it produces 1.75 terawatt hours. That's enough
:01:35. > :01:43.electricity to power half a million homes. Let's start with the official
:01:43. > :01:47.opening today, and our business correspondent, Richard Bond.
:01:47. > :01:52.Well, this is the operations base for the Greater Gabbard wind farm.
:01:52. > :01:56.It is in a building right next to Lowestoft fish market, where
:01:56. > :02:02.transfer vessels, and go and bring personnel to the wind farm. It is
:02:02. > :02:08.quite a breezy evening as you can see behind me, but out at sea over
:02:08. > :02:13.there, that is a whole lot bigger. It is off the coast near Sizewell
:02:13. > :02:16.will you will find Greater Gabbard, a forest of turbines belt onto
:02:16. > :02:22.sandbanks. This was the scene two years ago when construction was
:02:22. > :02:27.underway. A joint British and German wind farm to help plug our energy
:02:27. > :02:31.gap. Greater Gabbard cabbages 500 megawatts of energy. On a day like
:02:31. > :02:37.today, it would produce enough power for the needs of the Hall of
:02:37. > :02:40.Suffolk, around 500,000 homes. can Greater Gabbard started five
:02:40. > :02:46.years ago. Components were shipped out of Harwich, but not everything
:02:46. > :02:50.went smoothly. The construction worker died when a turbine blade was
:02:50. > :02:54.loaded onto a vessel. There was also a dispute about the quality of
:02:54. > :02:59.turbine foundations. The power enters the good at Sizewell. The
:02:59. > :03:05.operations base is at Lowestoft, where the Energy Minister opened the
:03:05. > :03:09.wind farm today. Britain is the world leader in offshore wind.
:03:09. > :03:15.Greater Gabbard is the region's fifth offshore wind farm and the
:03:15. > :03:20.second-biggest after London Array of Essex, which opened last month.
:03:20. > :03:25.There are more even bigger wind farm is planned. Most of the components
:03:25. > :03:34.are made abroad. That is true of Greater Gabbard. This firm made the
:03:34. > :03:39.keeping forehead. -- made a part of it. The project cost around �1.6
:03:39. > :03:43.billion. We haven't got the major manufacturers in the UK. Part of
:03:43. > :03:46.what we're trying to achieve is to get those manufacturing
:03:46. > :03:51.organisations to invest in the UK. The opening of Greater Gabbard shows
:03:51. > :03:55.the region's offshore wind industry has come of age. With more
:03:55. > :04:02.developments to come, it will only get bigger.
:04:02. > :04:08.On that point, the orders of Greater Gabbard recently got consent for a
:04:08. > :04:13.massive extension to the Greater Gabbard, doubling its size. What can
:04:13. > :04:16.that could start next year. -- work on that could start.
:04:16. > :04:20.Well, the emergence of Lowestoft as an operational base for renewable
:04:20. > :04:22.energy has opened another chapter in the town's history. What was an
:04:22. > :04:28.economy heavily dependent on the fishing industry has undergone a
:04:28. > :04:32.transformation. Our chief reporter Kim Riley has spent the day there.
:04:32. > :04:36.Lionel Roberts and his brother Gary are wholesale fish Milsoms, a
:04:36. > :04:44.business started by the grandfather. -- wholesale fish
:04:44. > :04:49.merchants. Now the trolls are gone and there company is one of only two
:04:49. > :04:52.wholesalers still in business. The decline is dramatic. No-one seems to
:04:52. > :04:57.care about the fishing industry any more. It is a dying industry. Think
:04:57. > :05:01.everyone has sort of given on it. There is no fight left in anybody.
:05:01. > :05:07.They have held their hands up and surrendered. The Duke of Edinburgh
:05:07. > :05:12.pays a visit to Lowestoft, and his first call is to the fish market.
:05:13. > :05:20.The newest trawler in the harbour is the Boston Herald. She is living on
:05:20. > :05:28.her maiden voyage. Lowestoft's newest cast leads to do Lowestoft's
:05:28. > :05:32.oldest job. Today around the fish docks, a picture of the claim. Not a
:05:32. > :05:39.single trawler to be seen. Half a dozen boats now make up the
:05:39. > :05:43.Lowestoft fishing fleets. This man is a skipper here. It is in danger
:05:43. > :05:50.that the moment. A handful of votes left, and we're hanging on by the
:05:50. > :05:54.skin of our teeth. I'll get upset, and then cooled down. End of story.
:05:54. > :05:57.This man was made redundant by an engineering company after a
:05:57. > :06:01.three-year apprenticeship. Two and half years ago, he became an
:06:01. > :06:03.offshore technician on the Greater Gabbard wind farm. There is an
:06:03. > :06:07.opportunity for different treatment to come here. I would recommend it
:06:07. > :06:14.to anyone, to be honest. Do you believe in the industry you're
:06:14. > :06:19.working on? I do 100%, yes. And renewables, it tells 500,000 homes,
:06:19. > :06:27.so brilliant for that. I get a lifetime home out of it hopefully as
:06:27. > :06:31.well. Fishermen have been able to forge a new career from a dying
:06:31. > :06:34.industry. Let's just show you this. Here's
:06:34. > :06:37.Greater Gabbard lying off the coast of Suffolk. It's the second-biggest
:06:37. > :06:41.after this one, the London Array. Up here, the Sheringham Shoal. And
:06:41. > :06:45.there are many more to come. When I spoke to the Energy Minister Michael
:06:45. > :06:54.Fallon today, I wanted to know if he was disappointed that two thirds of
:06:54. > :06:56.the �1.6 billion it cost to build Greater Gabbard went overseas.
:06:57. > :07:04.We don't make turbines in this country at the moment. We're hoping
:07:04. > :07:09.to persuade Siemens, the turbine manufacturers, to do it here in
:07:09. > :07:13.Britain. But half �1 billion over ten years has come here. It has come
:07:13. > :07:17.in the form of jobs. There are people working in the operations
:07:17. > :07:22.centre and hundreds of others involved in installation and
:07:22. > :07:25.servicing and maintenance of these turbines. There are going to be many
:07:25. > :07:30.more as the wind farm is developed. We will have more local British
:07:30. > :07:36.jobs. Do you think it is an opportunity that British companies
:07:36. > :07:39.have failed to see coming? It has built up and I think they do now see
:07:39. > :07:43.the opportunity that is for ports up and down the east coast of this
:07:43. > :07:45.country to be involved in this new court -- growth industry. It is
:07:45. > :07:49.extraordinary to see people who thought their careers as fishermen
:07:49. > :07:56.were over now powering the boats that have the service these wind
:07:56. > :08:00.farms every day. What about the subsidy for renewables? It is
:08:00. > :08:06.estimated it is costing the average household about �45 a year. It could
:08:06. > :08:10.go up to �200 a year. I don't think that is quite right. Any new energy
:08:10. > :08:16.technology isn't three. It does require some Government report --
:08:16. > :08:23.support to start with. That will reduce overtime as the industry
:08:23. > :08:26.builds upscale. That support will be withdrawn. I'm sure we will be able
:08:27. > :08:31.to compete with other new technologies, not just offshore
:08:31. > :08:38.wind, but a biomass conversion, wave power and tidal power, and all the
:08:38. > :08:40.other new types of renewable energy. Would you welcome big farms onshore?
:08:40. > :08:46.These are matters for the local community. Planning matters are
:08:46. > :08:54.decided locally. We're seeing a large number of applications being
:08:54. > :09:01.dumbed down at the moment. People are unhappy these come down now,
:09:01. > :09:04.aren't they? Planning is local, and it is important that wind farms
:09:04. > :09:09.aren't too crowded together and councils, when they take these
:09:09. > :09:15.decisions, Karen Wake the cumulative impact. Nobody wants to see entire
:09:15. > :09:19.valleys or hillsides cluttered with wind turbines. But there are parts
:09:19. > :09:25.of the country will be unwelcome and weary double been one of them. --
:09:25. > :09:31.where they are welcome and we're there will be more of them. These
:09:31. > :09:35.decisions are local. But let's be honest here, we need a mix of energy
:09:35. > :09:40.of all kinds. We can't be overdependent any more an
:09:40. > :09:50.international oil prices or gas prices. We need more home-grown
:09:50. > :09:53.
:09:53. > :10:00.energy of all kinds. And the Sizewell C? I hope so. We have to
:10:00. > :10:04.replace our power stations. Some have been withdrawn. They are 17 and
:10:04. > :10:09.18% of electricity the moment. We need to replace that somehow. You
:10:09. > :10:14.have one nuclear station or 6000 went turbines onshore. -- 6000 wind
:10:14. > :10:17.turbines. In other news tonight, a passenger
:10:17. > :10:21.aircraft had to circle the skies of Norfolk to burn off fuel this
:10:21. > :10:25.lunchtime after its flaps jammed. The Delta Airlines Airbus had more
:10:25. > :10:28.than 300 passengers and crew on board. It had taken off from Charles
:10:28. > :10:35.de Gaulle Airport in Paris en route to the US and was diverted to
:10:35. > :10:39.Schiphol in Amsterdam as a precaution. A report out today says
:10:39. > :10:45.the recent heatwave has led to the death of thousands of fish in the
:10:45. > :10:49.region's revels. The hot weather drastically reduced oxygen levels,
:10:49. > :10:57.causing distress to fish. The Environment Agency had to intervene
:10:57. > :11:02.in Norfolk and that victory in Essex. -- and that victory in Essex.
:11:02. > :11:09.Still to come, flower power in Suffolk. And jubilation in the fans
:11:09. > :11:13.as the Steelbacks make it to the finals. -- in Northants.
:11:13. > :11:16.This week, we have been looking at the care service men and women
:11:17. > :11:19.receive after they are injured on duty. We've seen the work of the
:11:19. > :11:22.recovery centre in Colchester and the support service to bereaved
:11:22. > :11:25.families offered by the charity Scotty's Little Soldiers. We're
:11:25. > :11:31.delighted to welcome General Lord Dannatt, the former head of the
:11:31. > :11:38.army, who lives in Norfolk. We have seen in those excellent films what
:11:38. > :11:42.determination and courage can achieve. Absolutely. Those films
:11:42. > :11:45.really encapsulated brilliantly real determination, real good it. People
:11:45. > :11:50.want to make success of the second period after the injuries. We would
:11:50. > :11:53.talk some more anemometer. -- in an moment. Tonight, our defence
:11:53. > :11:59.reporter Alex Dunlop finishes his special reports with the veterans
:11:59. > :12:05.who never give up despite terrible injuries.
:12:05. > :12:09.Blink and you wouldn't notice that Duncan is a double amputee, but take
:12:09. > :12:16.a close look, because these false legs and their own are about to make
:12:16. > :12:19.history. There is a ratchet effect to keep it on your leg. Duncan hopes
:12:19. > :12:27.these high-tech limbs will withstand the most innocent beatable terrain
:12:27. > :12:32.north. You will walk the hundred miles and -40 degrees. It will be
:12:32. > :12:37.about 3000 metres. Possibly we will have stumped swelling and all the
:12:37. > :12:41.rest of it, so we will have its -- have changes there. If that happens,
:12:41. > :12:47.you will not get your prosthetics on. That is a nonstarter. We have to
:12:47. > :12:51.be mindful of that. Somehow, Duncan survived this huge roadside
:12:51. > :12:57.explosion in Helmand. The only unbroken part of his body was his
:12:57. > :13:00.arm. I am told his recent training was up what in the pack -- was a
:13:00. > :13:05.walk in the park compared to what awaits them in Antarctica. He will
:13:05. > :13:10.race against the US and Team Commonwealth to get to the bottom of
:13:10. > :13:13.the globe. Have all suffered life changing injuries in combat. We're
:13:13. > :13:17.getting on skis for the first time, and a selection of people are there.
:13:17. > :13:23.There is a double amputee, other amputees, a guy trying to ski with
:13:23. > :13:31.one arm. There is a guy cruising past two is blind, 100% line. It was
:13:31. > :13:39.absolutely bizarre. You're coming with us to the southpaw? -- the
:13:40. > :13:47.South Pole. The charity behind it is Norfolk -based Walking With The
:13:47. > :13:52.Wounded. This is the only people to act meet the challenges head-on and
:13:52. > :13:57.over, it will inspire others to do the same. We're here to help the
:13:57. > :14:01.wounded and sick into work. We do that through funding, education and
:14:01. > :14:07.training programmes, providing a support, so that have support.
:14:07. > :14:11.November, Duncan will leave his wife Kim and daughter, Lily, and head
:14:11. > :14:15.south. He should be home for Christmas. They have stuck by me
:14:15. > :14:19.through thick and thin and that shows how much they cared about me.
:14:19. > :14:26.I wanted to show my wife I am back in addition to physical state again.
:14:26. > :14:31.There are so many reasons to do it. More remarkable pictures. Lord
:14:31. > :14:36.Dannatt, we have seen people with courage and determination and what
:14:36. > :14:42.they can achieve. But many soldiers" can homes, broken lives,
:14:42. > :14:47.sometimes in prison. We need to think about them, don't because the
:14:47. > :14:52.Mac -- don't we? You're absolutely right. We need to provide some sort
:14:52. > :14:57.of family. Making the transition into civilian life is a difficult
:14:57. > :14:59.one. The support that needs to be provided has to be broadly based.
:15:00. > :15:04.Quite rightly this week, you have been focusing on those who have been
:15:04. > :15:08.grieved or injured. But the vast majority have to make the transition
:15:08. > :15:13.having had wanted here in the military and now a second career in
:15:13. > :15:18.civilian life. That is where a whole range of service charities working
:15:18. > :15:22.with local authorities have a really important role to play. These
:15:22. > :15:28.charities are doing so well, Help For Heroes, Walking With The
:15:28. > :15:33.Wounded. But should it be down to charities question mark shouldn't
:15:33. > :15:37.the Government be helping? You're absolutely right. The Government has
:15:37. > :15:42.a responsibility to make sure that there is good provision for veterans
:15:42. > :15:45.and people leaving the Armed Forces. It is a funny thing if you look
:15:46. > :15:50.through history. The British way has been for the public, private and
:15:50. > :15:57.charitable sector to come together. You wouldn't have the Royal Hospital
:15:57. > :16:06.Chelsea BS can hospital -- the Royal Hospital in Chelsea BS can hospital
:16:06. > :16:10.in Scotland. All of us who are no longer serving, the charity gives us
:16:10. > :16:14.a great chance to make a contribution. To put our hands in a
:16:14. > :16:20.pocket and donate to charity in one way or another. We have seen it in
:16:20. > :16:22.Norwich on elsewhere in the region. When hundreds and thousands of
:16:22. > :16:27.people go out on the streets and cheer those soldiers coming back, it
:16:27. > :16:30.really makes a difference to them. There is a role for all of us to
:16:30. > :16:35.play, whether the supporting on the street, putting our handiwork
:16:35. > :16:45.pocket, or making sure pottage and is do their bit. -- committee shall
:16:45. > :16:45.
:16:46. > :16:50.be put our hand in our pocket. That is a danger, and I think service
:16:50. > :16:54.charities are alert to that. It is important we go an articulate any
:16:54. > :17:01.need. After all, this seriously injured young men and women, their
:17:01. > :17:06.battle has only just begun and is not over. In their souls, they are
:17:07. > :17:11.still fit young people, aged 20 something. And then they are in the
:17:11. > :17:14.30s, 40s and 50s. We have to articulate the case for the
:17:14. > :17:19.continuing to be generous and support. This other person in the
:17:19. > :17:24.recovery centre in Colchester largely funded by Help For Heroes.
:17:24. > :17:27.The funding has to go on for the next 20 or 30 years. Help For Heroes
:17:27. > :17:30.understands that and the Government understands that, so we need to get
:17:30. > :17:36.the message out to the great British public, we all have a role to play
:17:36. > :17:40.to make sure we support our service people. There is a growing awareness
:17:40. > :17:46.of the trauma suffered by the soldiers. The post-traumatic stress
:17:46. > :17:51.disorder. You see that as a ticking time bomb, as it were? Where we're
:17:51. > :17:57.going to have this 15 years down the line and a lot of people who need
:17:57. > :18:01.help? You put your finger on the most difficult issue. If someone has
:18:01. > :18:06.been tragically injured and has lost an arm or leg, it you can physically
:18:06. > :18:12.CD have problem and you can help them. -- physically see they have a
:18:12. > :18:16.problem. But the psychological issues are more dangerous. Because
:18:16. > :18:19.someone who has enjoyed actual culture of being a soldier, I am
:18:19. > :18:27.tough, I can do with this, I consulted myself, when he she finds
:18:27. > :18:32.they can't and it is ought -- and they resort to alcohol or drug abuse
:18:32. > :18:35.and find themselves on the wrong side of police, tragically, some of
:18:35. > :18:39.these cases end up in suicide. That is when we have a real problem to
:18:39. > :18:45.deal with. The biggest issue on going is to understand psychiatric
:18:45. > :18:50.needs, to be wise that actually, it is not a weakness to say, I've got a
:18:50. > :18:53.problem in my head. That is an injury as damaging and difficult as
:18:53. > :18:58.a physical injury, and that is what we have really got to do to help
:18:58. > :19:05.people. Local authorities can combat stress, and other charities. We all
:19:05. > :19:09.have a role to play. We have a seminar in Norfolk on the 4th of
:19:09. > :19:13.November to try and get to grips with this problem. It is a key one.
:19:13. > :19:16.Your right to ask about it. In cricket, Northamptonshire are
:19:16. > :19:19.celebrating reaching the finals of the Twenty20 Cup. It's quite a
:19:19. > :19:22.turnaround for the county, who sacked their head coach last season
:19:22. > :19:26.and were the worst-performing side in limited overs cricket. Last night
:19:26. > :19:34.they had one of their biggest ever crowds to watch them beat Durham.
:19:34. > :19:39.And today, the players have been celebrating on the golf course.
:19:39. > :19:48.Different ball, same old Phoebe. The better good smack. -- same old
:19:48. > :19:50.Phoebe. After one of the most lucrative nights in hamsters --
:19:51. > :19:56.Northamptonshire's recent history, some of the players were given the
:19:56. > :20:02.day off. Someone distracted by last night's celebrations. We want to
:20:02. > :20:08.play in front of a big house all the time if we could. We had a few more
:20:08. > :20:11.people than the game with the MK Dons. The atmosphere was fantastic.
:20:12. > :20:21.We were written off at the start of the season so it is nice to prove
:20:22. > :20:23.
:20:23. > :20:28.people wrong. How is the hangover? Yeah, it's good! Turn around here
:20:28. > :20:32.was remarkable. There were more bums on seats last night than during the
:20:32. > :20:37.entire county Championship season last year. The financial benefits
:20:37. > :20:40.are clear. The match generated an extra 6-figure sum, crucial currency
:20:40. > :20:47.for a club which has struggled to make its presence felt in a
:20:47. > :20:51.competitive sporting market. I call it weather and winning. A
:20:51. > :20:54.combination of those two have made a significant difference to the number
:20:54. > :20:58.of people who have come to watch as the summer, and we have been greatly
:20:58. > :21:03.encouraged. Hopefully it will stimulate more interest in the
:21:03. > :21:07.cricket club in what is predominantly a rugby team. You were
:21:07. > :21:14.the worst side in the kit 12 months ago. What has happened? --
:21:14. > :21:22.implicates the months ago. We did a lot of social chin. We did a lot of
:21:22. > :21:27.classroom work, which sportsman hates doing. Northamptonshire might
:21:27. > :21:31.not be the biggest county, but they are proof that had glass can go a

:21:35. > :21:39.In football, Stevenage, Peterborough and MK Dons are all through to round
:21:39. > :21:42.two of the Capital One Cup. And all of them beat other teams from this
:21:42. > :21:45.region. The biggest shock of the night came at the Lamex Stadium with
:21:45. > :21:50.League One side Stevenage knocking out Ipswich Town from the
:21:50. > :21:52.Championship. After losing 4-3 against Oldham,
:21:52. > :21:59.Stevenage's boss hoped his side would learn from the mistakes. It's
:21:59. > :22:05.which the demolition. 0-0 at the break. They are the penalty and it
:22:05. > :22:09.was slotted home. Mick McCarthy made six changes to the side that lost at
:22:10. > :22:15.Reading. He said he had no regrets. Stevenage made sure of the upset
:22:15. > :22:23.when the ball was bundled in the end. The Colchester boss arched the
:22:23. > :22:33.fans to stay positive despite seeing his side thrashed 5-1. They went
:22:33. > :22:34.
:22:34. > :22:37.ahead, before it was 1-1. Goals later an immediate 3-1. The manager
:22:37. > :22:47.praised his players for a river second-half display rounded off by
:22:47. > :22:51.another two goals from Lee Tomlin. The MK Dons one at Northampton. The
:22:51. > :22:58.had a comfortable cushion. The opposition pulled one back, but the
:22:58. > :23:01.damage was done. Southend's manager still Brown
:23:01. > :23:07.didn't think his players deserve to be on the losing side, but they are
:23:07. > :23:12.out after that 1-nil defeat against Yeovil. They had opportunities to
:23:12. > :23:16.equalise, but acrobatics in the goal kept him out. The chance of one cup
:23:16. > :23:20.run is already over. A family flower business says it's
:23:20. > :23:23.turning back the clock and turning its back on imports from the Far
:23:23. > :23:27.East to grow closer to home. Winter Flora from Suffolk was the first
:23:27. > :23:32.producer of dried flowers in the UK and supplies many big high street
:23:32. > :23:41.names. For years, it used flowers from the other side of the world,
:23:41. > :23:50.but now all that has changed. They are not many fields of flowers
:23:50. > :23:55.here. This is an oasis of colour amongst the wheat. Here there are
:23:55. > :24:02.poppies, Nigella and others, and they are all destined for the dryer.
:24:02. > :24:08.The most important thing is to make sure the flowers... This man runs
:24:08. > :24:12.Winter Flora. His parents started the business in 1969. Back then,
:24:12. > :24:18.they grew their own flowers and then stopped and imported them from China
:24:18. > :24:21.and India. That has come full circle. We spent the last 12 years
:24:21. > :24:28.not going in this country because the market had changed and we were
:24:28. > :24:33.left importing. But the global -- cruel flowers in this country again,
:24:33. > :24:38.it is a great sense of pride. you produce dried flowers? When you
:24:38. > :24:46.cut, they going to try and rooms, removing moisture but keeping the
:24:46. > :24:50.colour. That gives a flower that will last for the season.
:24:50. > :24:53.quality is absolutely as good as it can be. There is no advantage in
:24:53. > :24:59.quality terms from buying in the Far East to what you can reduce here.
:24:59. > :25:02.The UK and Europe has some wonderful arrays of different plants and
:25:02. > :25:07.flowers which you can go. You don't need to think of the Far East to
:25:07. > :25:13.mean exotic. We can do everything here. We just have to look alive and
:25:13. > :25:17.absolutely can grow. Growing close to home could make business sense,
:25:17. > :25:22.tapping into a trend that says local is best. Already, sales seem to be
:25:22. > :25:26.responding. These arrangements are sealed by the likes of -- sealed by

:25:36. > :25:41.Already, they have decided to grow Already, they have decided to grow

:26:19. > :26:23.some clear spells and maybe the odd Mister fog patch. The bidders could
:26:24. > :26:29.reach into double figures tomorrow, but they could also be about eight
