:00:00. > :00:07.BBC Two in a few moments, asking what lessons the flood

:00:08. > :00:13.Good evening. The British cruise ship on which a

:00:14. > :00:16.man from Essex died has been cleared to continue its journey after an

:00:17. > :00:18.inspection by the police and port officials. Eyewitnesses today

:00:19. > :00:21.described how James Swinstead, who lived in Colchester, was killed

:00:22. > :00:34.during lunch on Valentine's Day when a wave crashed through a window.

:00:35. > :00:41.The sound of breaking crockery. Pictures taken by Marco Polo

:00:42. > :00:46.passenger shows the vessel pitching in heavy seas before tragedy struck.

:00:47. > :00:51.Must Taylor and his partner are relieved to be back on dry land

:00:52. > :00:55.after a cruise they would like to forget. They were sitting in the

:00:56. > :01:02.restaurant just yards from 85 rolled James Swinstead and his wife Helen.

:01:03. > :01:07.`` `year`old. There were screams as the window

:01:08. > :01:11.came in. One of them struck the man in the back of the head, and the

:01:12. > :01:17.other one flew over the tops of the heads of people in the next road.

:01:18. > :01:21.It's then crash landed on the floor in the middle of the dining room.

:01:22. > :01:28.Otherwise, there could have been more serious injuries.

:01:29. > :01:32.Helen had been married to James Swinstead for almost 50 years. She

:01:33. > :01:37.said that there were signs that the ship was badly maintained. It is

:01:38. > :01:43.common sense that if you have a rusty water coming through a window

:01:44. > :01:45.in the dining room, you plug it. You should not have rusty water coming

:01:46. > :01:52.in. Cruise and Maritime Voyages says it

:01:53. > :01:58.denies allegations that the ship is unseen Worsley or substandard. It

:01:59. > :02:08.had been passed fit to leave. `` unseaworthy.

:02:09. > :02:11.The Port of Felixstowe has been given permission to expand, with

:02:12. > :02:14.nearly 200 metres of new quays. It will allow the next generation of

:02:15. > :02:18.container ships to use the port. It's the latest stage in the rivalry

:02:19. > :02:21.between Felixstowe and the new London Gateway port in Essex.

:02:22. > :02:22.Joining us live is Simon Fraser from the Felixstowe Port Users

:02:23. > :02:28.Association. Mr Fraser, how important is this

:02:29. > :02:35.development for the Port? It is obviously one hurdle on the

:02:36. > :02:41.way to developing the port further to increase its pre`eminence as a

:02:42. > :02:50.container port. It can already take huge ships, so what is this about?

:02:51. > :02:55.The future generation of ships? Felixstowe can already handled the

:02:56. > :02:58.largest container ships currently afloat and this proposed new

:02:59. > :03:06.extension to the port will enable them to handle more of these ought

:03:07. > :03:10.large container ships simultaneously and will enable them to handle the

:03:11. > :03:17.next generation that are currently still only on the drawing board.

:03:18. > :03:23.The London Gateway port has recently opened. What impact is that having

:03:24. > :03:28.on Felixstowe? So far, London Gateway has not had much impact at

:03:29. > :03:34.all, but obviously it is setting itself up as a rival to Felixstowe,

:03:35. > :03:39.albeit 50 years after Felixstowe became the first container port in

:03:40. > :03:45.the UK. Nobody is complacent about the threat that London Gateway poses

:03:46. > :03:51.and indeed the management here at Felixstowe and the owners of the

:03:52. > :03:55.port and the staff and everyone involved are writing to the

:03:56. > :04:03.challenge of this competition. `` rising to the challenge.

:04:04. > :04:06.Norfolk County Council has approved its new budget by just two votes.

:04:07. > :04:09.There'll be a council tax freeze, more money for children's services

:04:10. > :04:13.and ?66 million of cuts. It follows a day of uncertainty after the

:04:14. > :04:15.Greens published a list of demands in return for their support. The

:04:16. > :04:18.Labour`run authority eventually agreed to put more money into adult

:04:19. > :04:22.social care. A doctor from Essex is refusing to

:04:23. > :04:25.take part in a plan for a national patient database. Dr John Cormack

:04:26. > :04:28.will not hand over medical records unless he gets specific permission

:04:29. > :04:34.from the patient. He says the government scheme is shambolic and

:04:35. > :04:41.botched. It is a plan to join the NHS, share

:04:42. > :04:45.our medical records with doctors and researchers. From April, that will

:04:46. > :04:50.include our date of birth, gender and postcode. The government says it

:04:51. > :04:54.will help them to track outbreaks of illnesses, track the side effects of

:04:55. > :05:01.drugs and have money where it is more needed. Sounds like a positive

:05:02. > :05:08.idea. Not so, says some doctors. The motion belongs to the patient. I

:05:09. > :05:12.think that confidential medical information belongs to the patient.

:05:13. > :05:14.From April, all patients will have their detail shared unless they opt

:05:15. > :05:20.out. But at Dr John Cormack's practice,

:05:21. > :05:25.he will opt out patients and their say tell him otherwise.

:05:26. > :05:31.Will you be opting out of the scheme? Yes, I do not agree with the

:05:32. > :05:35.way it has been brought in. NHS England says that there will not be

:05:36. > :05:39.names on the system and it will not pass details to insurance companies,

:05:40. > :05:44.but what do patients think? My name is Bill, I have decided to

:05:45. > :05:48.opt out because I am concerned about the lack of confidentiality.

:05:49. > :05:55.The only person who needs to notice your doctor. I think a lot of your

:05:56. > :05:58.details will be online anyway. Some doctors who go against the

:05:59. > :06:02.government are worried that they might have their dock `` contracts

:06:03. > :06:10.terminated. Dr John Cormack says he will bear

:06:11. > :06:13.the consequences. The government is reviewing the plan

:06:14. > :06:16.to move Papworth Hospital from its site near Huntingdon to Cambridge.

:06:17. > :06:20.The move has been in the pipeline for years and work is due to start

:06:21. > :06:23.on a new multi`million pound site near Addenbrooke's this summer. But

:06:24. > :06:25.it's emerged that ministers are now examining the benefits of the move

:06:26. > :06:28.and its cost. We were clearly disappointed to hear

:06:29. > :06:31.that they have now introduced a further obstacle that they want an

:06:32. > :06:35.external clinical review as well as another round of the financial

:06:36. > :06:40.checks. So we are confident that we will pass both of those tests, but

:06:41. > :06:41.it has added another four to six months delay to a project already

:06:42. > :06:55.delayed. Another weather. Some further outbreaks of rain, some

:06:56. > :07:00.further bursts mixed in, but there will be no frost. Light to moderate

:07:01. > :07:05.southerly winds. Had some patchy fog tomorrow. The last of the overnight

:07:06. > :07:10.rain clearing quickly. Largely cloudy skies, perhaps in brightness

:07:11. > :07:16.and sunshine, then showers moving in, possibly some hail and thunder

:07:17. > :07:18.moving in to. The light south`westerly winds mean that any

:07:19. > :07:23.shells that we do get into the afternoon and evening will be moving

:07:24. > :07:29.and some of these could be on the heavy side. There will be the

:07:30. > :07:30.national forecaster night, but the outlook is looking largely dry and

:07:31. > :07:32.quite cloudy outlook is looking largely dry and

:07:33. > :07:39.for the most part on Wednesday, it will turn more unsettled.

:07:40. > :07:46.Whilst across the whole of the country the general weather pattern

:07:47. > :07:52.shows no signs of completely settling down there is some good

:07:53. > :07:53.news. There will be some drier spells over the next couple of days,
