:00:07. > :00:11.Hello and welcome to Look East. In the programme tonight: After
:00:12. > :00:15.Hinkley Point gets the go`ahead, the clearest hint yet from EDF that a
:00:16. > :00:24.new nuclear plant at Sizewell will be next.
:00:25. > :00:25.It is paving the way for Sizewell C to happen. It is a positive step
:00:26. > :00:29.forward. Norfolk MPs accused of treachery in
:00:30. > :00:32.a row over an incinerator and how much it could cost the taxpayer.
:00:33. > :00:36.The mystery illness hitting dogs in our region. Now vets are targeting
:00:37. > :00:39.this tiny mite. And have you got your Shopping List?
:00:40. > :00:53.The story behind a best`selling board game from Norfolk.
:00:54. > :00:57.First tonight, the strongest evidence yet that the Sizewell C
:00:58. > :01:00.nuclear power station will get the go`ahead.
:01:01. > :01:04.Of course, the big nuclear news today was that a new reactor will be
:01:05. > :01:07.built at Hinkley Point in Somerset, in a ?16 billion deal between the
:01:08. > :01:15.government and the French company EDF. But EDF also runs Sizewell B on
:01:16. > :01:19.the coast of Suffolk. So does a new deal in Somerset mean that Sizewell
:01:20. > :01:22.C could soon follow? There would be strong local
:01:23. > :01:27.opposition but there would also be a massive economic boost to the
:01:28. > :01:34.region. In a moment, we'll hear from EDF, but first our business
:01:35. > :01:38.correspondent Richard Bond. The wildlife came out for the
:01:39. > :01:43.cameras today, but before long, it may have to make way for a nuclear
:01:44. > :01:47.power station. What happens to the Sizewell C construction site is up
:01:48. > :01:51.to planners and ministers, but today, the deal to build a new
:01:52. > :01:59.nuclear power station in Somerset, has moved site will see even closer.
:02:00. > :02:03.We want to build Hinkley Point first and then we will move on to
:02:04. > :02:09.Sizewell. There were sleepy and overlap, because it will take ten
:02:10. > :02:13.years to build Hinkley Point, but we will move on rapidly to follow it
:02:14. > :02:17.with Sizewell. Nearby residents will be most
:02:18. > :02:26.affected. There will be more jobs. By the kit
:02:27. > :02:29.will be a good thing. It is already decided, so I don't
:02:30. > :02:34.think we'll have any choice. Whatever I think.
:02:35. > :02:37.I will be in favour, because it will bring more business into the town,
:02:38. > :02:44.definitely. When Sizewell B was built, several
:02:45. > :02:48.hundred East and companies were involved, some of them here.
:02:49. > :02:53.Sizewell C would be a much bigger project.
:02:54. > :02:58.There would be a spend of ?100 million per year during
:02:59. > :03:02.construction, and 500 `` 5500 construction jobs at its peak.
:03:03. > :03:08.Many businesses benefited from the construction of Sizewell B and I
:03:09. > :03:13.expect they are very willing for the construction of size will see.
:03:14. > :03:21.Preparation work is already going on. Here, Hall is being made on the
:03:22. > :03:25.sea that. But they still to apply for planning permission. It will be
:03:26. > :03:30.a while before Southwark's neutral juggernaut starts to roll. ``
:03:31. > :03:33.nuclear. As we saw there, Richard Mayson is
:03:34. > :03:37.the director of project development at EDF. And when I spoke to him
:03:38. > :03:43.earlier this afternoon, I asked him if this means there will definitely
:03:44. > :03:46.be a Sizewell C. It is a step in the right
:03:47. > :03:54.direction. It is paving the way for Sizewell C to happen. There is a
:03:55. > :03:58.long way to go. We have started our consultation process. We are some
:03:59. > :04:04.way away from making a decision stop but it is a good step forward.
:04:05. > :04:09.Give us a date. If you did go ahead, what is the timescale?
:04:10. > :04:14.I think we are talking about continuing our consultation over the
:04:15. > :04:18.next year, and then we would be applying for planning permission to
:04:19. > :04:23.build the power station and then we would look for a decision from the
:04:24. > :04:27.government. So it is actually very difficult to give a precise date.
:04:28. > :04:33.We are talking about two or three years, and then building for ten
:04:34. > :04:38.years? Yes, that sort of order. The equivalent process from where we are
:04:39. > :04:42.now at Sizewell to the points which we have just reached at Hinkley took
:04:43. > :04:49.about three years. As far as Sizewell B was concerned,
:04:50. > :04:52.the public inquiry lasted six years. That could not happen now
:04:53. > :04:56.because of the changes to the regulations. Does that mean that
:04:57. > :05:00.democracy goes out of the window? No, we do a lot of consultation
:05:01. > :05:04.before we make the planning application and then, at that point,
:05:05. > :05:08.there is still a set of public airing is where everybody has the
:05:09. > :05:14.opportunity to make their case for and against the power station. That
:05:15. > :05:19.process is now on a fixed timescale. It takes a year to 15 months from
:05:20. > :05:23.the point of application to get a decision from the government.
:05:24. > :05:27.There has been a lot of talk today about the cost of the energy that we
:05:28. > :05:32.will receive from that and how actually be price of buying energy
:05:33. > :05:36.would double before we go and you will be guaranteed that. What you
:05:37. > :05:41.said that? For me, that is about offering the
:05:42. > :05:48.fixed price over a very long periods. The contract is for 35
:05:49. > :05:54.years, so that will provide a fixed price over that period. It is about
:05:55. > :05:57.providing a balance over a fair deal for consumers and providing enough
:05:58. > :06:01.incentive for investors to come forward into the project, which we
:06:02. > :06:05.have seen and announced today. And a fair deal for consumers, some
:06:06. > :06:08.people do not think that is the case?
:06:09. > :06:12.We think it is a fair deal for consumers. It is about providing a
:06:13. > :06:23.fixed price over a very long periods at a time when energy prices are
:06:24. > :06:26.expected to go up for the long`term. The Labour leader of Norfolk County
:06:27. > :06:28.Council says the authority has been left in an impossible situation
:06:29. > :06:32.after the government withdrew funding for a waste incinerator in
:06:33. > :06:36.King's Lynn. Put simply, the council can either plough on and face a big
:06:37. > :06:38.bill, or pull out and face massive compensation claims.
:06:39. > :06:41.The government decision has also prompted a big row between local
:06:42. > :06:47.Tories. Andrew Sinclair is here ` how serious is this?
:06:48. > :06:50.The view is that this is very serious indeed. There has even been
:06:51. > :06:54.talk that the authority may end up in special measures because of this.
:06:55. > :06:57.Tomorrow, we will get a report that will say that if the council pulls
:06:58. > :07:05.out of the contract, it will be liable of con insulation `` for
:07:06. > :07:09.compensation payments which would cost millions of pounds, and that
:07:10. > :07:13.would have to be paid by Christmas. The alternative is to press on with
:07:14. > :07:17.the scheme, but the bill for that scheme has just gone up by ?169
:07:18. > :07:21.million. How will they pay either of those
:07:22. > :07:22.bills? They don't know at the moment.
:07:23. > :07:30.This is an authority which is already trying to plug a funding gap
:07:31. > :07:32.of ?189 million. They cannot make cuts of that magnitude. There is
:07:33. > :07:37.talk of some sort of government help, but no one is sure how that
:07:38. > :07:40.will work. The Labour leader of the council is furious tonight. He says
:07:41. > :07:53.that they are left in an impossible situation: It is not just Labour
:07:54. > :07:56.MPs. Another MP said that there was
:07:57. > :08:01.treachery, another said that they will not be forgiven for this.
:08:02. > :08:06.But the MPs are unrepentant? Yes, they said that they pressed for
:08:07. > :08:10.the funding to be withdrawn, because a lot of their constituents are
:08:11. > :08:14.opposed to the incinerator. Next week, councils will get a chance to
:08:15. > :08:16.vote on the scheme. Tonight, they will have to think carefully before
:08:17. > :08:20.making a decision. The family of a school girl who died
:08:21. > :08:24.on a level crossing in Essex has been urging MPs to do more to make
:08:25. > :08:27.them safer. Olivia Bazlinton was with her friend Charlotte Thompson
:08:28. > :08:31.when they were hit by a train at Elsenham in 2005. Network Rail says
:08:32. > :08:39.it's spent millions of pounds over the last five years getting rid of
:08:40. > :08:47.700 crossings across the country. A near miss captured on camera at a
:08:48. > :08:51.level crossing in Cambridgeshire. The cyclist was lucky to be alive.
:08:52. > :08:57.One of the most dreadful accident at a level crossing happened here at
:08:58. > :09:01.Elsenham in 2005. Schoolgirls Charlotte Thompson and Olivia
:09:02. > :09:07.Bazlinton were hit by a high`speed train. After a six`year campaign by
:09:08. > :09:10.the teenagers families, Network Rail finally admitted in court that the
:09:11. > :09:19.Elsenham crossing was dangerous. Today, this man, Olivia Bazlinton's
:09:20. > :09:24.father, said that Network Rail did not reveal a criticism of the
:09:25. > :09:29.crossing before the tragedy. I want to know why those documents
:09:30. > :09:34.were withheld, why I should believe it won't happen again. This is about
:09:35. > :09:38.accountability. It is important that we know what has happened within
:09:39. > :09:43.Network Rail. They have never held a proper inquiry.
:09:44. > :09:50.At times, he found it difficult to speak about what happened. Olivia's
:09:51. > :09:56.mother said that she was very upset about what Network Rail officer had
:09:57. > :10:01.said to her. We have to consider the cost of
:10:02. > :10:06.safety. This is the value of life. I found that an inhuman way of
:10:07. > :10:09.speaking to me as a bereaved parents.
:10:10. > :10:13.Network Rail said that nothing they can say or do will lessen the pain
:10:14. > :10:18.of the families of those who were injured, or killed, but they say
:10:19. > :10:23.that they are committed to making the railway safer, and that is their
:10:24. > :10:28.focus. But they say there is almost more that they can do, and they will
:10:29. > :10:31.never be complacent. Network Rail will be speaking to the transport
:10:32. > :10:34.committee at a later hearing. A second man has been charged by the
:10:35. > :10:37.police investigating the exploitation of migrant workers in
:10:38. > :10:41.the Fens. Juris Valujevs ,who lives in King's Lynn, is accused of being
:10:42. > :10:52.an unlicensed gangmaster, as well as fraud and blackmail.
:10:53. > :10:56.In football, speculation is growing that the Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy
:10:57. > :10:59.could become the next manager of the Republic of Ireland. Many bookmakers
:11:00. > :11:02.have installed McCarthy as favourite to return to the role he held
:11:03. > :11:07.between 1996 and 2002. McCarthy has been in charge at Portman Road for
:11:08. > :11:13.less than a year. The story, the speculation, won't go
:11:14. > :11:19.away. Now it is gathering place `` pace. Is Mick McCarthy returning to
:11:20. > :11:25.Ireland? The rumour started last month after the other boss's
:11:26. > :11:35.dismissal. At that time, the Ipswich boss said the job is not for him.
:11:36. > :11:38.I think the other manager will be a great worker.
:11:39. > :11:44.But the deal has not materialised, and McCarthy has not ruled himself
:11:45. > :11:48.out of the running. He is under contract until 2015. Despite the
:11:49. > :11:53.defeat this weekend, the club has made real progress. Speaking to the
:11:54. > :12:01.BBC on Saturday, McCarthy is unhappy at all the talk.
:12:02. > :12:09.I get frustrated by it. I said yes, that sums it up. The speculation? I
:12:10. > :12:14.have been speculated about jobs before, I am not interested in it,
:12:15. > :12:19.all the speculation. You have got the opportunity to say
:12:20. > :12:24.you devil you don't want it? He doesn't want to talk about it.
:12:25. > :12:33.I understand that Ipswich have not received an approach by the Irish
:12:34. > :12:39.team. The club wanting to stay, but fans are worried.
:12:40. > :12:44.I think he will stay. It will be unfinished dismiss if he goes.
:12:45. > :12:50.They need to make a decision. It can be unsettling for the plans `` for
:12:51. > :12:53.the fans and the players. McCarty says he will only clarify
:12:54. > :13:04.his position if the club makes an official approach.
:13:05. > :13:09.Still to come, we talk to the Paralympic shooter Matt Skelhon.
:13:10. > :13:13.Which game is now outselling monopoly.
:13:14. > :13:23.And it is now looking like an unsettled week ahead.
:13:24. > :13:26.Managers at Basildon Hospital say they are confident things are being
:13:27. > :13:29.turned around after months of damning reports from health experts.
:13:30. > :13:32.The first of 250 extra staff have started work, including 200
:13:33. > :13:37.permanent nurses, who will replace a string of agency staff.
:13:38. > :13:41.The NHS spends more than ?2 billion a year on agency staff. Over a two
:13:42. > :13:46.year period, for example, Addenbrooke's in Cambridge spent 1.2
:13:47. > :13:51.million on temporary nurses. Southend Hospital 1.3 million. And
:13:52. > :13:54.one of the biggest spenders was Basildon, which spent more than
:13:55. > :13:57.three million. Last week, Claire Marie Battersby
:13:58. > :14:02.was the among the 200 new full`time nurses to arrive on its wards.
:14:03. > :14:08.Despite its reputation, she had no hesitation about joining Basildon
:14:09. > :14:14.Hospital. My personal opinion was because of
:14:15. > :14:20.the heat that is on the hospital, standards are an `` are at a high.
:14:21. > :14:21.It will be a great start with the hospital.
:14:22. > :14:23.Basildon's Director of Nursing, Diane Sakar, says they've also
:14:24. > :14:27.reorganised A, and paediatrics, and introduced new technology. But
:14:28. > :14:38.permanent staff nurses was a key factor. It will ensure that the
:14:39. > :14:43.nursing staff have enough staff to do the job that they are employed to
:14:44. > :14:48.do. It makes them feel valued and will improve the morale, and for us
:14:49. > :14:50.to have a very strong nursing workforce.
:14:51. > :14:53.This afternoon, I spoke to the Health Minister and Suffolk MP Dr
:14:54. > :14:57.Dan Poulter, and started by asking what he thought of the millions of
:14:58. > :15:03.pounds being spent by hospitals in this region on agency nurses.
:15:04. > :15:09.Spending money on temporary staff is not a good use of NHS resources, and
:15:10. > :15:13.that is why, earlier this summer, I published a review that set out a
:15:14. > :15:22.number of ways how the NHS could save money in reducing the cost of
:15:23. > :15:26.temporary staffing. It is about prioritising and employing more
:15:27. > :15:30.full`time staff. It also provides better continuity of care for
:15:31. > :15:34.patients. That all sounds like common sense.
:15:35. > :15:38.Why has the situation got to this stage were so much money is
:15:39. > :15:45.effectively being wasted? For far too long, too many hospitals
:15:46. > :15:47.at an individual hospital level, the executives and nonexecutive
:15:48. > :15:52.directors, didn't focus enough on how they could reduce their costs
:15:53. > :15:56.and wasting money on temporary staffing is something that the NHS
:15:57. > :16:00.can no longer afford to do. It is also about providing better care for
:16:01. > :16:05.patients. That is why I am pleased that the hospital are investing in
:16:06. > :16:09.more full`time staff. That will save the NHS money, so more money can be
:16:10. > :16:16.put into treatments. Is accepted the government that
:16:17. > :16:18.understaffing is one of the main issues behind the scandals at
:16:19. > :16:22.hospital? That is right. The review was
:16:23. > :16:28.launched by the government is in response to the inquiry over the
:16:29. > :16:31.terrible events. That highlighted a number of hospitals, including
:16:32. > :16:36.Basildon, where there were unacceptable in the low levels of
:16:37. > :16:39.staffing and is too much reliance on temporary staff, and the damage that
:16:40. > :16:44.it on quality care. Obviously, it takes more time to
:16:45. > :16:48.recruit more nurses and a permanent basis. We are heading into the
:16:49. > :16:51.winter season, when normally hospitals, under more pressure. How
:16:52. > :16:58.confident are you that they will cope this winter?
:16:59. > :17:02.The number of nurses now working in the NHS in acute hospitals like
:17:03. > :17:08.Basildon is increasing. I am very confident that hospitals are taking
:17:09. > :17:12.it seriously, putting in the necessary investments, and reducing
:17:13. > :17:15.unnecessary wastage and paying agencies money for temporary staff
:17:16. > :17:17.that should be going into patient care.
:17:18. > :17:21.And Inside Out tonight goes behind the scenes as the hospital tries to
:17:22. > :17:26.shake off its bad reputation. That's tonight at 7:30pm on BBC One.
:17:27. > :17:30.Scientists believe they may have found the cause of an illness which
:17:31. > :17:37.has been killing dogs in parts of the region. More than 100 have be
:17:38. > :17:39.taken ill after going for a walk in woods in Suffolk and Norfolk,
:17:40. > :17:42.including the Sandringham Estate. Now estate managers and the Animal
:17:43. > :17:51.Health Trust in Newmarket are investigating.
:17:52. > :18:03.The size of a pinhead, the harvest mite could be the cause of a
:18:04. > :18:08.seasonal canine illness. Mites can get onto the skin, and give the dog
:18:09. > :18:13.is a high fever. In extreme cases, it can kill. There have been eight
:18:14. > :18:19.cases recently, all from the Sandringham estate.
:18:20. > :18:25.They often have orange dust on them, which we found to be caused by
:18:26. > :18:34.harvest mites. They tended to be small dogs, Terry is `` terriers. So
:18:35. > :18:40.they were presumably not used to this environment.
:18:41. > :18:46.The Animal Health Trust is examining the problems in two Woodland
:18:47. > :18:51.regions. It wants dog owners in the area to help them to find if the
:18:52. > :18:56.mite is responsible. We are encouraging people to speak
:18:57. > :19:04.to the vets about preventive treatment for Harford `` harvest
:19:05. > :19:08.mites, in case the cases decrease, showing that there is a link between
:19:09. > :19:18.the two. This is a pilot study about Seasonal
:19:19. > :19:22.Canine Illness. The idea is that this spray is sprayed on their dogs
:19:23. > :19:24.before they go for a walk in the area.
:19:25. > :19:32.Dog owners are being told not to panic, but it is a nasty illness.
:19:33. > :19:35.With the public's help, the authorities should soon be able to
:19:36. > :19:41.tell if this tiny mite has caused so much misery.
:19:42. > :19:44.This week, the European Disability Shooting Championships are taking
:19:45. > :19:47.place in Spain. And Matt Skelhon from Peterborough goes into the
:19:48. > :19:50.contest as one of the favourites. Matt is 28, lives in Peterborough
:19:51. > :19:54.and won gold at the Paralympic Games in Beijing in 2008. Last year, he
:19:55. > :20:01.won silver and a bronze at London 2012. Brennan Nicholls has been to
:20:02. > :20:07.see his final preparations. It's a sport where you do battle as
:20:08. > :20:09.much with yourself as others. Shooting requires supreme
:20:10. > :20:17.concentration as well as an obvious steady hand. Matt Skelhon improved
:20:18. > :20:25.his when he won gold back in 2008. When he is in his own, he hears hard
:20:26. > :20:30.to beat. `` he is hard to beat. I only care about how well I shoot.
:20:31. > :20:36.My biggest enemy is myself. I have to keep my head in the game. If I do
:20:37. > :20:45.that, I will do well. It took a world record in 2012, but
:20:46. > :20:51.he still scored a silver and a gold. Since London, the score `` the
:20:52. > :20:59.sport has changed its system. Decimal places now are important,
:21:00. > :21:07.and the final is a shoot off. The ten is broken down into points.
:21:08. > :21:14.All be decimal scores at the end now added, so the maximum score is
:21:15. > :21:20.higher. His gold in Beijing helped attract
:21:21. > :21:27.funding which has led to this practice range. It provides the
:21:28. > :21:33.shooting squad with crucial time to fine tune their technique. This is a
:21:34. > :21:41.place which rivals even their able`bodied counterparts area. Away
:21:42. > :21:48.from the game, there are other things that help improve his
:21:49. > :21:51.concentration. Fishing is his hobby of choice.
:21:52. > :21:56.I have done it since I was little. It is nice and relaxing to do. In a
:21:57. > :22:02.lot of places, you can get by the waters edge. It is nice and
:22:03. > :22:08.relaxing, a bit of an adrenaline `` adrenaline rush.
