:00:52. > :00:54.First tonight: On the day the A—level results are published the
:00:55. > :00:56.region gets ready for a record number of students coming here to
:00:56. > :00:59.university. Across Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk
:00:59. > :01:02.there are more than 50,000 students at University. We contacted our
:01:02. > :01:09.universities about the number of offers they'd made this academic
:01:09. > :01:12.year. All of those who responded had seen an increase in student numbers.
:01:12. > :01:16.At the University Campus Suffolk admissions are up 5%. They are up by
:01:16. > :01:19.almost 4.5% at the University of Essex. Anglia Ruskin have seen an
:01:19. > :01:22.increase of just under 2%. Unfortunately the University of East
:01:22. > :01:32.Anglia couldn't provide us with any figures. This report from Alex
:01:32. > :01:39.Dunlop. Glasses of these, party balloons and
:01:39. > :01:42.cupcakes that see great result. Clearly the teachers at this academy
:01:42. > :01:55.in Norwich and now the grades in these gold envelopes. How did you
:01:55. > :02:00.do? I got an 80, a star. All of the teachers and pupils at
:02:00. > :02:08.this Academy are absolutely delighted.
:02:08. > :02:12.You have to get the good grades, you have to get into the good
:02:12. > :02:17.universities because that is what employers are going to want to three
:02:17. > :02:20.years down the line when they finish their degree course. They will not
:02:20. > :02:28.just look at the degree, they will look at where they got it from?
:02:28. > :02:34.indeed. some school leavers go turn their
:02:34. > :02:46.back on a degree. He walked straight into a media job after a course at
:02:46. > :02:52.Norwich College. the media learning company offered
:02:52. > :02:56.real experience whilst working in a commercial environment. The work 9—5
:02:56. > :03:05.is a real company. You work with real clients. We got real experience
:03:05. > :03:09.while getting a real qualification. University applications might be up,
:03:09. > :03:14.but I was struck by the amount of students who had the grades but did
:03:14. > :03:19.not want to take a degree. I am not a big fan of being in all of that
:03:20. > :03:24.debt. £27,000 at least. I want to stay at home and get an
:03:24. > :03:29.apprenticeship and work my way up that way.
:03:29. > :03:35.Nina from great Yarmouth is an example of how you can turn it
:03:35. > :04:02.around. He had previously dropped out of college, but today he got
:04:02. > :04:05.three A—star . Professor Jules Pretty, the Deputy
:04:05. > :04:08.Vice Chancellor of the University of Essex, joins me now.
:04:08. > :04:16.How busy has it been in Clearing today, what type of calls? It has
:04:16. > :04:19.been a very busy day. Students who have been successful have been
:04:19. > :04:25.accepted and students who have had to go into clearing to seek a place
:04:25. > :04:30.have been running up universities —— ringing up universities to see if
:04:30. > :04:33.they would be accepted. The National student satisfaction survey put
:04:33. > :04:41.Essex as second in the country. Not only either more students coming to
:04:41. > :04:44.the region, but there are more institutions able to offer an
:04:44. > :04:47.excellent education. You're offering four per cent more places this
:04:47. > :04:52.coming year. How much is that to do with students
:04:52. > :04:56.choosing to study close to home to keep costs down? When the new fee
:04:56. > :05:05.regime came and was an expectation that more students would lead
:05:05. > :05:13.locally. But interestingly, that has not happened. Part of the reason is
:05:13. > :05:17.that you come to university of course to study a degree but also
:05:17. > :05:21.you come for three years of transformational experience, which
:05:21. > :05:26.comes from the accommodation, the flats that you are then with other
:05:26. > :05:29.students, from joining student societies and clubs and playing
:05:29. > :05:34.sports. That comes from living on a campus such as the one we have here
:05:34. > :05:39.at Essex and engaging with students and academics for the whole of the
:05:39. > :05:41.year. That additional benefit on top of your degree is something that is
:05:41. > :05:47.the important thing for 18—year—olds.
:05:47. > :05:53.What is the impact likely to be of the new higher graders been able to
:05:53. > :05:57.trade up their places. Could universities like yours lose out
:05:57. > :06:05.because of that? Potential lady could do. This system called
:06:05. > :06:11.adjustment. You can reject your offer and go into clearing to seek
:06:11. > :06:15.another one. The activity is very tiny with this. If you think of
:06:15. > :06:18.yourself as an applicant, you have applied somewhere, you have done
:06:18. > :06:22.better but you still have your offer, you have already made an
:06:22. > :06:26.emotional attachment to that place and you think, I want to go there
:06:26. > :06:30.and know that they have the offer more students stay with that because
:06:30. > :06:38.it gives them the certainty on this busy and rather stressful day for
:06:38. > :06:44.many students. Now, we have not lost out to adjustment very much. I
:06:45. > :06:52.expect it will be a rather small proportion of the clearing business,
:06:52. > :06:56.as it was last year. A widow told Look East today that
:06:56. > :06:59.it's a disgrace that different parts of the NHS are not able to share
:07:00. > :07:02.vital information about patients out of hours. Six weeks ago Bill
:07:02. > :07:06.Detterding was admitted to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, but
:07:06. > :07:09.when the doctors tried to access his GP records in Holt, they couldn't do
:07:09. > :07:18.it. He was given aspirin, although his records would have told them he
:07:18. > :07:33.was allergic to it. They were married for 15 seven years
:07:33. > :07:38.—— 57 years, but Bill died last year. But what angered his family
:07:38. > :07:42.was that doctors could not access his medical records over a bank
:07:42. > :07:49.holiday. You'll mac it is appalling. They were trying, but they could
:07:50. > :07:53.not. He had a blocked artery, but before surgeons could operate he
:07:53. > :07:59.suffered a stroke. His family says that he received exemplary care, but
:08:00. > :08:03.for several days doctors could not see his notes, including his allergy
:08:03. > :08:12.to aspirin and do not resuscitate notice. she does have some valid
:08:12. > :08:17.concerns and we would actively encourage anything that encourages a
:08:18. > :08:25.safe and secure sharing of information. Solveig has that not
:08:25. > :08:35.happened? —— so fly has that not happened? This system promised to
:08:35. > :08:39.connect 30,000 GPs. But by 2006 it was in disarray. The project was
:08:39. > :08:46.scrapped in 2011 at a cost of £2.7 billion.
:08:46. > :08:50.There is a clear plan now to have a paperless NHS by 2018. We want to
:08:50. > :08:56.make a significant amount of progress before that. We want to

:09:19. > :09:22.rescued 21 people in the past six days. They say that without their
:09:22. > :09:27.help four of those would certainly have died. Richard Daniel has spent
:09:27. > :09:31.the day on the beach in Clacton, with four children were rescued
:09:31. > :09:37.yesterday. Over the years, this lifeguard has
:09:37. > :09:43.saved many lives. The latest, just yesterday. He spotted for people in
:09:43. > :09:46.trouble. I could see the four people in the water trying to get
:09:47. > :09:51.themselves back in. I knew that they were going to get in trouble because
:09:51. > :09:55.of the state of the tide. I gave a quick call to the office who were
:09:56. > :10:00.already on the case. Another couple of minutes and we could have been
:10:00. > :10:05.talking a different story. They pulled a 15—year—old boy and a
:10:05. > :10:11.16—year—old girl to safety. The colleague used a rescue boat to see
:10:11. > :10:17.—— save a 12—year—old boy and a girl, with seconds to spare. The mac
:10:17. > :10:22.if I was ten seconds later then he would have been under and possibly
:10:22. > :10:28.not alive. The younger one, I flew out to help him but he was still not
:10:28. > :10:36.a strong swimmer. As we work filming, —— as we were filming there
:10:36. > :10:39.was another alert. You can still feel the beach underneath, you only
:10:40. > :10:48.have to walk so far endured out of your depth again. They were lucky.
:10:48. > :11:02.It is almost four years to the day that I young girl died paddling in
:11:02. > :11:07.the same breakwater. And at Cromer yesterday afternoon lifeguard saved
:11:07. > :11:12.an eight—year—old boy. He had been swept out to sea by a rip currents.
:11:12. > :11:19.Back at Clacton, beach patrol see that people must seek advice if in
:11:19. > :11:25.doubt. It was a bit scary, but the canoe went out and got them. People
:11:26. > :11:30.go on boats and see that they cannot swim. I would not dare let anyone on
:11:30. > :11:34.a boat if they said that they could not swim. the message from
:11:35. > :11:45.lifeguards is follow safety advice and respect the power of the sea.
:11:45. > :11:48.A woman whose body was found in a lake at the University of East
:11:48. > :11:50.Anglia has been named. 43—year—old Nomeda Pundziene came

:12:50. > :12:53.results today, but exams, particularly English language exams
:12:53. > :12:59.for foreign students, are big business in our region.
:12:59. > :13:02.Tonight in our series looking at companies which export, we look at

:13:22. > :13:28.different countries. The company that produces them is part of
:13:28. > :13:32.Cambridge University, recognised the world over. it is very well
:13:32. > :13:38.recognised because Cambridge University is one of the top five
:13:38. > :13:43.recognised brands in the world. That has helped this business grow. It
:13:43. > :13:50.has been exporting exams for over 100 years. The attention. This is
:13:50. > :13:54.the first exam paper that was set back in 1913. Among the tasks they
:13:54. > :13:59.had two hours to write an essay on subjects which include the effects
:13:59. > :14:03.of political movements on 19th—century literature in England.
:14:03. > :14:11.But here are just three candidates sat the exam. Not one of them

:14:46. > :14:54.to him earlier and I asked him how the unit came into being. Originally
:14:54. > :15:04.it got involved as part of a programme for a teacher of modern
:15:04. > :15:13.languages. It has now grown in scale. Those exams 100 years ago are
:15:13. > :15:19.very different from today 's. Pretty different. The exam 100 years ago
:15:19. > :15:30.took over 12 hours to do. And there was only one exam. We are talking
:15:31. > :15:33.this week about exporting. You are exporting knowledge and
:15:33. > :15:38.examinations. Where does the money from that go? the money that we make
:15:38. > :15:45.from exams gets invested again in our business. We are part of a
:15:45. > :15:50.group, Cambridge Assessment. So some of that money will go back into the
:15:50. > :15:55.university, to support that work, which in turn supports us. how
:15:55. > :16:01.important is it to have the words Cambridge University on it? it is
:16:01. > :16:04.really important, it is one of the leading universities in the world.
:16:04. > :16:09.The quality that it represents underpins the work that we do as
:16:09. > :16:14.well. Everything that we do must reflect the same quality standards
:16:14. > :16:21.as are achieved in the University. At the moment I know you reach into
:16:21. > :16:28.130 countries. Either more that you are waiting to move into? English is
:16:28. > :16:36.so important that although we are in more than 100 and 30 countries now,
:16:36. > :16:40.I am sure we will eventually be present in almost every country in
:16:40. > :16:47.the world. The developing nations and the fast—growing economies,
:16:47. > :16:51.China, India, countries like that are very, very interested in English
:16:51. > :16:55.language and an English—language qualifications. A lot of our growth
:16:55. > :17:00.and development over the last decade has come from countries like that.
:17:00. > :17:06.But it is equally true in Europe that, as the European policy of
:17:06. > :17:10.mother tongue plus two languages spread around Europe, English is
:17:10. > :17:15.very important and that context as well. Hundreds of thousands of

:20:36. > :20:42.today. Robbie actually spent his formative years training year at the
:20:42. > :20:47.Bedford athletic Stadium, but today two metres 29 centimetres was not
:20:47. > :20:53.quite good enough. It was won by a Ukrainian athlete. He just missed
:20:53. > :20:58.out on a world record, in fact. That is how high—quality it was today.
:20:58. > :21:03.Behind me you can see the sprinters erect Bedford County athletics club.
:21:03. > :21:12.Nigel Levine has still got a chance of winning a medal. He started he

:21:25. > :21:34.spent years at Bedford County athletics club. It has been a
:21:34. > :21:40.difficult year for him after the Olympics, but provided that he gets
:21:40. > :21:47.his act together now he is in with a chance. What do you think, is he
:21:47. > :21:55.going to be lucky today? yes, I think so. Bronze medal, I'm
:21:55. > :22:05.guessing. Robbie ran into trouble at two
:22:05. > :22:10.metres and 29 centimetres. He cleared it on the next attempt
:22:10. > :22:22.but it was last chance win at two metres and 32 centimetres after two
:22:22. > :22:27.failures. Two metres 29 centimetres was good
:22:27. > :22:31.enough for Bobby to win bronze last year. One year and the bar has been
:22:31. > :22:36.raised higher and Robbie could not make it over. The high jump

:22:41. > :22:47.Earlier and another of Bedford 's finest, Nigel Levine, was rescued as

:22:52. > :23:03.Jessica Judd who failed to reach the final. A—level results wait at home
:23:03. > :23:07.for her, hopefully what is inside will be less of a disappointment. I
:23:07. > :23:12.am so disappointed, so many people have worked hard to get your. I
:23:12. > :23:16.thought I was going to do it and then my legs just went, but maybe
:23:16. > :23:20.that is something the site had lost. I am just so happy to be here in one
:23:20. > :23:26.piece and I wanted so much more than that.
:23:26. > :23:30.Not the best day for our region 's athletes but Jess and Robbie will
:23:30. > :23:35.both be back. Robbie presented the award tear at
:23:35. > :23:40.the ceremony last year, so he will certainly be back at Bedford. We
:23:40. > :23:44.have the young high jumpers at Bedford going through their paces
:23:44. > :23:48.now. One or two of them have actually broken his records that he
:23:48. > :23:53.set your all those years ago. This is their head coach. You know Robbie
:23:53. > :24:01.and his mum very well, how disappointed I you today? Very
:24:01. > :24:05.disappointed. He was expected to get towards the medals, we know that he
:24:05. > :24:12.had a problem with his knee, but we expected him to get through. He did
:24:12. > :24:18.look impressive up until the 229. It was sad that he did not get into the
:24:18. > :24:27.top. he will be back, that's for sure. You have some talent year.
:24:27. > :24:35.Quite a bit of talent. This girl is new to it, one for the future. This
:24:35. > :24:44.is my son. He is 12. He broke Robbie 's under 13 record 13 years to the
:24:44. > :24:57.day the other week. A lot of talent here. We hope to see 12 of these at
:24:57. > :25:02.the stage that Robbie has. my eldest son has broken Robbie 's under 17
:25:02. > :25:06.record year. He went to the World Championships and got a personal
:25:06. > :25:10.best. Your dynasty is certainly doing well year. Sadly for Robbie,
:25:10. > :25:16.not the case today. And time for the weather.
:25:16. > :25:21.Some very changeable weather conditions today. The pressure at
